Chapter 610: Trek Bombing, Lake Baikal
April 10th. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoUSSR, Yekaterinburg Western sky. Cloudy.
Yekaterinburg is now the temporary capital of the Soviet Union, where the central government, the political bureau, and the government are located. The city was heavily defended, and the Germans bombed it several times, but there was no significant progress.
In the afternoon, more than 30 German bombers, protected by more than 20 fighters, flew to Yekaterinburg and came to bomb. At a distance of several tens of kilometers from the city, more than fifty fighters rose into the air to intercept German aircraft. The two groups are entangled.
Ten minutes later, a dozen bombers flew over Yekaterinburg and began to drop bombs. The anti-aircraft guns on the ground fired together, and the shells exploded in the air, forming clouds of white smoke and black smoke.
A total of three bombers in a squad got lost, and the lead plane lost contact with the group due to a radio failure, and after passing through the clouds, lost contact.
The three bombers were very frightened without fighter escort, looking for ground targets, but did not find them. Lowering his altitude, he saw that a battle had begun in the distance, and flew towards the air battle area. Halfway there, not far from Yekaterinburg. The air battle in the distance is nearing its end.
At this time, an aircraft found a suspicious target on the ground. The three planes lowered their altitude to check, and saw that the target was a circular building, about three stories long, with a road leading to this large courtyard, and several buildings nearby, obviously a military camp.
At this time, anti-aircraft artillery on the ground began shelling.
The long plane immediately decided to bomb this target. His idea was that he ran out of fuel, threw a bomb, and immediately ran for his life.
Three planes began to drop bombs. Within a minute, all the bombs were dropped, and the plane quickly left. More than half of the shells exploded on the building, and the rest exploded in the nearby forest.
Five Soviet fighters arrived and pursued three German planes. The German plane, realizing that it had stabbed a hornet's nest, fled. The Soviet planes were like crazy and desperately pursued them.
Soon two of the three bombers were shot down and shot down, one bomber ran fast and caught up with the German aircraft group, and the fighters caught up to protect it, and only then did they escape.
Back at the base near Moscow, the German pilots reported the results of the battle, and the Trek bombing attracted the attention of the commander. In the afternoon, six planes were sent to bomb the building again, but to no avail. This time there were dozens of Soviet fighters, as if specifically to protect the building on the outskirts, and all six planes were shot down.
This unplanned bombing had very bad consequences for the Soviet Union.
In the twenty days after the victory of Hailan Paoberychita, the Northeast Coalition Army won one victory after another.
LΓΌ Zhengcao Li Lanchi won a complete victory at Burleigh, Li Lanchi marched northeast along the main stream of the Heilongjiang River, constantly killing the Japanese blocking troops along the way, and the mobile boats on the river repeatedly transported small troops to the front of the Japanese army, and frequently ambushed. The retreat of the Japanese turned into an escape. In a few days, Li Lanchi fought an average of one battle a day, destroying more than 3,000 enemies.
Twenty days later, Li Lanchi's large army attacked Sakhalin Island, and the progress went smoothly, because Sakhalin Island was far away, and only a few Japanese troops took a boat to Sakhalin Island.
LΓΌ Zhengcao left part of the troops to build Boli and waved his army south from Boli. On the one hand, small troops were left to liberate all the small towns along the way, while large troops took the train and slaughtered Vladivostok.
Several brigades of Zhou Baozhong, who had already crossed the Ussuri River, originally planned to encircle the point and send reinforcements, but because the Japanese army noticed it and failed, they took advantage of the situation to liberate all the towns along the railway, and the army slaughtered Vladivostok. Wang Renzhi killed the Ussuri River from Dongning, and Wei Zhengmin killed from the direction of Hunchun.
The climate near Vladivostok is different from the main stream of the Heilongjiang River, much warmer, the river has long since thawed, it is very difficult for the army to cross the river, and the Japanese army in the fortress opposite is blocked, and the progress of Wei Zhengmin's troops is slow.
Wang Renzhi once again exerted his unexpected tactical style and attacked the fortress of Dongning. The Dongning Fortress used to be a defense against the Soviet troops across the river on the east side, and now it is mainly a defense against the anti-Japanese coalition forces on the west side.
Wang Renzhi made a big show on the opposite side of the west side of the Japanese fortress in Dongning, secretly moved the large force to more than 10 kilometers upstream, quietly crossed the river, and returned to attack the fortress from the three directions of the south, south, and west. The special operations force lurked in advance and discovered two entrances, which were reconnaissance formed by individuals to infiltrate the fortress, flank inside and outside, and conquered the fortress at the least cost.
The Fourth Route Army made a posture to liberate Vladivostok. The Japanese troops in Vladivostok retreated either by sea or by plane from the sky. On the ground, the road to the south to North Korea has been cut off.
The headquarters of the Kwantung Army is now in Vladivostok, and it is impossible to advance or retreat, so it asks the Korean garrison to go north to help.
In the Andong direction, Yang Jingyu's troops and the North Korean column joined forces, made loud noises, posted slogans everywhere, and preached to the people that they would attack Pyongyang and Seoul. The navy in Dalian also dispatched several warships to shell Incheon. The Japanese troops living in Korea were in strict position and did not dare to go north.
Their aim was to attract the Korean garrison, and if they moved north to aid Vladivostok with a large force, the feint would turn into a real offensive. Sure enough, under pressure, the Korean garrison sent a small number of troops to the north, which was perfunctory.
After Wang Fa and Li Fanglin, the deputy commander of the Mongol column, replenished the recruits, the army reached Chita. Large troops were stationed in Chita, concentrating on building logistics facilities and repairing the railway, and only sent small troops to the northeast by train to clear the Japanese guards along the railway. Intended to meet Zhu Chi's large army that was killed along the railway.
This time, every attack direction has a large military force, except for the Chita direction, each attacking side has 100,000 men, and they all have an overwhelming advantage.
On April 20, another piece of information reached the outside world, that is, 10,000 people from the Sekiang Ying Department stationed in Ulaanbaatar suddenly appeared in Sherekhov and Irkutsk at the southern tip of Lake Baikal. On the same day, 50,000 troops of Wang Fa and Zhu Chi suddenly conquered Ulan-Ude.
On April 23, the three units met in the southwestern part of Lake Baikal.
The Northeast Coalition Army, like the last Japanese attack, attacked the Japanese along the railway. The difference is that the Northeast Coalition Army has an air force and a number of new weapons, but the Japanese ground forces could not support it, and they held out for two days and then retreated. Large forces seized the Baikal region ahead of schedule.
Before the division, the command of the three units had already obtained information from the Song Tiger Special Combat Team in front: the direction of the Japanese army's retreat was to the west, in the direction of Novosibirsk of the Soviet Union, and no signs of the Japanese army attacking to the east were found. On the same day, intelligence from the Soviet side also arrived, and 300,000 Japanese troops were concentrated in the direction of Novosibirsk to confront the Soviet army.
At the time of their division, Song Laohu was in Irkutsk, sixty kilometers away. He had just captured the town, and when he arrived, the Japanese were preparing to relocate the city's supplies. Because the Japanese troops in the east have withdrawn, and those who remain have been annihilated, the large Japanese troops here have withdrawn.
Song Laohu entered the city and saw that the soldiers were chasing a Japanese heavy army. Now, the temperature is rising, the snow and ice are melting, and the streets are full of snow and melted ice water, and the ice water is full of Japanese corpses.
Song Laohu said: "Has the railway station been occupied?" Are there still remnants of the Japanese? β
The man next to him: "Yes, there is a fierce battle at the station right now. β
Song Laohu said: "Knock down the train station as soon as possible, and we will chase them by car." Be careful not to break the station. β
The man next to him: "I'm afraid it's a little difficult." β
At noon, Song Laohu stood on the platform of the railway station and shouted, "Get the people on the railway immediately." See if there are any railway workers. What are the trains loaded there? β
Two soldiers ran over carrying a wooden box, saw Song Laohu there, and said, "Report to the captain, you have made a fortune, it's all canned food, canned fish and meat." β
Song Laohu said: "There must be a canning factory here. Immediately send a telegram calling for a large army to come and take over the city, and pay attention to the receiving factories. Three, did you find the train? β
One humane: "Found two locomotives, three passenger cars. β
Song Laohu: "The logistics troops continue to occupy the city, and the special combat team gets on the car and brings some cans to get on the car. Let's go!"
The three carriages were crowded with more than 500 people, as well as light and heavy weapons, and it was very crowded. The two locomotives push and pull at a fast speed.
After walking for three hours, the train stopped, and a man came from the front of the car and reported: "There is a fork in the road, I don't know which one to take." β
The place of the train is more than 100 meters away from the fork in the road, Song Laohu went to the fork to check, only to see a new and an old, the new railway is a branch line, not many cars have passed, but why build this railway? Isn't there anything good? He simply looked at them all and said, "Fortunately, there are two front cars." Separate a carriage, bring a radio, and go to the fork in the road to have a look. If there is danger, return it. β
Song Laohu took two carriages and walked along the main line, and after walking for less than ten minutes, he saw that there were Japanese guarding another turnout on the road and coming in, and the branch line that he had just seen merged back to the main line from here.
Where does the feeder line lead?
There were several Japanese soldiers guarding the intersection, and they had just eliminated these people, and a train drove up the fork in the road.
The trains are very long, some are stuffy tank cars, I don't know what they are loading, and some are flatbed cars, loaded with grain bags.
While observing, the operator shouted: "Telegraph, this train is a grain wagon of devils." β
Song Laohu didn't look at it, and shouted: "First blow up a section of the fork track in front of you." Be careful not to blow up the train. Occupy the train! β
Most of his troops were demolition specialists, and because the train on the opposite side was too fast and too late, he threw bombs on the railway. A bazooka shooter has a quick eye and hits the rails with a single bullet. The oncoming train saw that someone was attacking and braked urgently. Song Laohu's wrong people didn't wait for orders, and they attacked it a long time ago.
Soon, the train was occupied. This train also has two locomotives, one pushing and one pulling, and there are only more than 100 logistics soldiers on the 30-odd carriages, and the rest are canned grain.
Song Laohu immediately made a decision, and the troops no longer moved forward and forked the road. He realized that there was food there. A few days later, I learned that he had done a great thing that affected the situation of the war by accident: he intercepted the grain of the Japanese army.
The train forks to a huge grain warehouse that stores the last year's local wheat. The retreating Japanese army tried to take a cart of local wheat with them, but was stopped by Song Laohu's special combat team.
Song Laohu's troops soon arrived at the granary. It's a granary built by the Soviets, and it's huge. By the time they arrived, the Japanese had run out, the ones who had just been on the train.
Song Laohu immediately judged, was there any other Japanese who pulled the grain and left? No matter what, chase!
The two locomotives pulled five hundred people in the three carriages, and chased desperately, and after chasing for a long time, they saw a train in front of them, a long train, driving slowly. The train is also a push and a pull, two locomotives, and the carriages are full of grain.
The special combat team killed the driver of the locomotive behind, occupied the front of the locomotive, pulled the brakes, and the entire train slowed down sharply. The special operators jumped into the carriage and kept moving forward. After the train came to a standstill, others attacked on the ground.
The seizure of a grain depot, plus two trains of grain, is big news. When the news reached the headquarters of the large army, the officers and men of the Northeast Coalition Army were happy to solve the food problem, and Guan Xiangying immediately realized that the Japanese troops on the front line might be short of food because of this. The tide of the war can change dramatically because of these grains.
On April 25, from Lake Baikal to Vladivostok, all but Vladivostok and Sakhalin were recovered. For the next year, the Tatar Mongols, hidden deep in the mountains, came out of the mountains to welcome the Chinese army. The Chinese army helped them restore their homeland and enjoyed themselves.
Now, the country, and even the world, have become accustomed to the news of the victory of the Northeast Democratic Alliance. When the news came, everyone everywhere rejoiced.
