Chapter 237: October Offensive

"My head hurts...... Serov in his sleep snorted, feeling a cold little hand covering his forehead, which was very comfortable, and then opened his eyes, looked at the two people in front of him with sleepy eyes and said, "Ah, it's you!" What time is it......"

Maybe it was too much fun last night, Serov felt his throat hot as soon as he opened his mouth, and his voice was very hoarse, and he drank a glass of water handed over by Isemotny, and finally recovered his energy, "It's almost noon now, General Battov came to see you just now, and you haven't gotten up yet!" Lukani said, holding the towel.

"Battov? Come and laugh at me, right? Serov, who was gradually regaining his own thinking, snorted, his own alcohol consumption had always been the main target of ridicule, and it was not surprising that Battov came to laugh at it.

When I came to the training ground, there were still traces of the indulgent singing last night, and the Soviet military advisers were still chatting, but they were no longer in the hustle and bustle of yesterday, "Hey, tomorrow we will go to Alexandria, we still have to talk to the French......"

Serov, who was overwhelmed by alcohol, planned to go today, but after playing crazy, he was a little empty today, so he could only rest for a day before he said, good things are never too late, and the goal will be achieved sooner or later. Serov wants to talk to the French about the Algerian problem, and it has nothing to do with whether it is an imperialist idea, this is just a negotiation between the powerful countries, there is no need to go on the platform, the rules in the world are like this, the strong make all the rules, the weak can only accept it, the weak have the opportunity to change their destiny, but usually this opportunity is caused by the uneven distribution of spoils between the powerful countries.

Not to mention the Algerian issue, the Soviet Union can talk with the French, even if it is the United States and the Soviet Union, which are hostile to the two sides, it is not impossible to talk about thorny issues, because of the development of China's nuclear weapons during the Cold War, the Soviet Union and the United States were ready to join forces twice, fortunately once the Soviet Union rejected the proposal of the United States, and once the United States rejected the proposal of the Soviet Union. At different times, China has eased relations with one of the two countries, and there is no chance to find a chance in the future, and China on the right track can no longer be restrained.

Before Serov arrived in Alexandria, the French launched another offensive in Algeria. The reason is very simple, the French Intelligence Bureau of the Seventh Bureau, through its own intelligence network, learned that the Soviet Union was looking for a target for support in Algeria, and the goal of the world revolution in the Soviet Union was not eliminated with the goodwill of Khrushchev after he came to power, in the eyes of most countries. The Soviet Union was still the tiger ready to export the revolution, only the tactics became more hidden.

This is normal, how can the armies of these countries live without shaping an enemy out? Traveling all over the world, only the Soviet Union meets the requirements of these countries, the territory is intimidating, the population is large, the military is powerful, and most importantly, the system is not the same as that of these countries, and it keeps saying that it wants to eliminate capitalism, is it worth it? It must be demonized, the enemies of this free world must be destroyed, although they have no confidence in the elimination of the USSR, the slogans must be shouted.

At the beginning of October, just two days after the Soviet Union launched the world's first artificial satellite. According to the plan of the French Ministry of Defense, the French army stationed in Algeria began the October offensive, and the French Ministry of Defense, which has the support of the French people, is full of confidence and is ready to use this offensive to eliminate the Algerian independence forces.

After the failure of the colonial policy in Southeast Asia, France concentrated its main experience on French Africa, especially Algeria, and in the heart of the French government, the other colonies were lost, and Algeria must not be lost, even if there was a slight possibility of remaining in French territory. The French government has to give it a try.

With a snap, the door was pushed open, and a man dressed in the same outfit as the commander walked in, and the big-nosed commander didn't even look at it. Knowing that it was his deputy who came in, it turned out that he was not wrong, and the adjutant who came in with a chill said: "It's October, I didn't expect Algerlujah to be so hot, I'm really looking for guilt!" ”

"There must be something wrong with you!" The commander immediately proceeded to make the adjutant a hot cup of coffee and asked at the same time. No way. There is no one else here except for the two.

"Of course there is something!" The adjutant's face is straight, and when he is not smiling, he has the momentum of a complete executioner, with an eerie voice, which makes people feel uncomfortable to look at. The commander waved his hand while making coffee, and Heydrich said: "Our Seventh Intelligence Bureau has already taken place, and we have bought the local Algerians as guides to start sweeping the areas of activity of the partisans tomorrow......"

"It's a good idea, always passive defense is not our French style, the offensive blood of His Majesty Napoleon has always flowed in our army!" The commander said proudly, although the French Army has changed its offensive thinking to defense after World War I, but in the face of some Algerian guerrillas, the French ** team, which has the upper hand in both armament and numbers, still has the capital to play offensive strategy.

In early October 1957, after careful preparations, the French army suddenly began to take action and began to carry out surprise attacks on the Algerian guerrillas, and this attack on the French army had already been fully prepared, and immediately rushed directly to the guerrilla camp that had been mastered, the sound of bombing was incessant, and the soldiers who had died were lying on the position, and the choking smell of smoke and blood was disgusting, and the bombers finished dropping bombs and fired all the bullets and finally flew away. The guerrilla soldiers, who had been attacked by surprise, had not had time to rejoice and reinforce their positions, but saw an army in front of them that should not have been there.

Yes, the soldiers of the guerrillas were right, there really should be no French army here, and under normal circumstances, the French army would not risk interspersed battles, after all, the French army is a colonial army, and the terrain of Algeria is not familiar with the fighters of the guerrillas, but this time the French army really did the opposite.

In the rear, the bomber masterpiece has been seen through the telescope, and the integrated air-ground operation was originally a tactic often used by Germany in history, and it has a proud record in the conquest of Poland, Belgium, and France, and it can be said that the effect is very good. As a victim, France could not develop a large-depth assault like the Soviet Union, but it was still possible to learn from Germany's air-ground integrated operation, and the French army, which had absolute material superiority, was ready to use new tactics to test its skills this time.

The colonel commander, who put down the binoculars, calmly analyzed the pros and cons, and gave an order, "The first and second battalions are divided into two rapid assaults on the left and right, and strive to quickly divide the enemy, and the third battalion as a reserve can become a decisive force when needed, and the first wave of attacks will give me all my strength, be sure to defeat the guerrillas as soon as possible, and don't let them escape!" It's hard for us to catch up with them after we ran......"

Under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, the French soldiers in khaki uniforms cautiously followed behind, killing the guerrillas one by one, rushing into the camp to vent the anger in their hearts.

Towards the end of the battle, the French soldiers, in accordance with the order to leave no one alive, picked the wounded partisan fighters to death with bayonets and prepared to pounce on the next guerrilla stronghold.

Since the outbreak of the Algerian war, the French army, which had a double superiority in manpower and material resources, has often been disgraced by this rogue war, and some police stations and local governors have been assassinated and raided by elusive guerrillas, not to mention bomb attacks that have become commonplace. If Serov had known, he would have been able to give a standard definition of this method, which is a form of holy warfare on the Arab side, and guerrilla warfare in the invaded country, but the most common global word is the answer that human beings want to give, that is, terror, and criminal.

Serov, who was about to leave for Alexandria to have a good talk with Consul General Philip, learned the news that the Algerian partisans had been wiped out by the French army the day after the October offensive began. This kind of behavior of being sent to the door to be slapped in the face Serov will never do it.

"From the information that our comrades received in Algiers, the current French army is going well! Wiped out part of the partisan camp! This offensive seems to have caused the guerrillas a lot of losses! "Judging from the newspapers on the streets of Paris, it seems that the French people are also optimistic about the offensive......

"It's all temporary! In the end, this offensive still didn't work! Because soldiers can be replenished, and only the defeat of the leadership of the Algerian National Liberation Front will play the role of disintegrating the guerrillas! And even if the leadership of the National Liberation Front is defeated, it will take a long time to disintegrate the backbone of the partisans! It takes more than ten years or even decades of continuous purging by the French army to be effective, and the French army can't even achieve the first goal, let alone the followers! Serov did not like guerrilla warfare because it was not enough to delay him from selling weapons. But there is one thing that is very recognized, and that is that guerrilla warfare is really very difficult to eliminate. (To be continued.) )
