February 18, the 26th year of the Republic of China (1937).

The 400,000 troops of the Kiev Front, led by Timoshenko, finally reached Chita, and met the 300,000 troops of the 37th Army led by Su Tong at Chita, and a great battle began.

This war was not only of concern to China at home, but even the United States, Britain, France, Germany, and many other countries sent observers to Chita.

In order to eliminate the pressure of Western public opinion on the capture of 300,000 Russian troops some time ago, and to demonstrate its military strength, the Russian political axe also agreed to the request of observers from various countries to come to the front line for observation.

The next day, Timoshenko began to launch a tentative attack on Chita's first line of defense.

As soon as the battle began, the 1st Infantry Division stationed in the first line of defense tasted the power of Lao Maozi's 'artillery doctrine', and more than 300 artillery pieces bombarded the first line of defense. Not to be outdone, the 1st Artillery Division deployed behind the defensive line also began a counterattack against the Russian artillery positions under the guidance of the artillery ranging radar, and the artillery of both sides was dark for a while.

At this time, at an observation post of the Russian army, two officers wearing gray German uniforms were holding binoculars to observe. "Hans, as soon as the artillery fire on this side was fired, the counter-artillery fire on that side immediately flew along the trajectory here, and the time before and after was less than eight minutes. I have never seen such a good artillery commander, and even the artillery of our empire does not have this quality. A German lieutenant colonel of about thirty years old, with a typical square face and blond hair, said in surprise.

"No, Paul, you see, the first salvo of the enemy's artillery fire was very missed, and it was not until the third time that it was recuperated. This kind of quality can only be regarded as barely qualified compared to the imperial artillery, which shows that the opponent's artillery was able to find the Slavs' artillery firing position so quickly, with the help of some kind of instrument or some means that we don't know, not how good their artillery is. "The other German colonel, Paul, was much older than the one next to him, and his hair was a little gray. Since there was no one around, the Russians were also contemptuously replaced by Slavs.

Colonel Hans lowered his binoculars, and a smile of affirmation appeared on his wrinkled face, "It seems that this artillery battle will soon be over, and those Slavs will definitely not last long." ”

Sure enough, not long after the artillery battle began, under the guidance of the artillery ranging radar, the 1st Artillery Division became more and more courageous, on the other hand, the Russian army was losing and retreating, and soon the sound of Russian artillery could not be heard on the position.

In a hidden forward command, Timoshenko put down his binoculars expressionlessly and said, "Order the 136th Division to start attacking." ”

......With an order, the Russian infantry began to charge, and from the sky, there were infantry in gray uniforms pouring towards the position like a tide.

"Oh God, are these Slavs rushing to their deaths?" Seeing Russian soldiers frantically charging at positions with barbed wire, bunker clusters and criss-crossed trenches, German observer Lieutenant Colonel Paul exclaimed in amazement.

At the same time, observers from various countries scattered throughout the observation posts of the Russian army let out the same exclamation.

As observers from various countries said, soon after the Russian army launched its charge, the overwhelming artillery fire covered the range of 100 to 400 meters of the first line of defense of the Huaxia Army.

"The Huaxia people actually have an eight-inch heavy artillery? It's incredible. "It's coming from an observation post.

"God, the artillery fire here is crazy. Did these Huaxia people bring all their heavy artillery here? With one exclamation after another, observers from various countries who were still skeptical that the 37th Group Army would be able to capture 300,000 Russian troops in the Far Eastern Military Region all expressed such exclamations.

The consequence of the salvo of more than 500 artillery pieces of the two artillery divisions was that more than half of the 136th Division of the Russian army, which was still attacking 10 minutes ago, was already lying in front of the position, and most of the people could not even find a complete corpse. By the time the Russian artillery fire hastily demarcated the artillery position of the Huaxia Army, the people had already shifted their positions.

"If we follow this style of play, let alone take Kyiv, I'm afraid whether General Timoshenko can return to Moscow is still a matter of two words." Colonel Hans put down his binoculars, shook his head and sighed.

"Comrade Timoshenko, our offensive has failed." Admiral Maksaryov had a very bad face, and half of the troops of a division remained in front of the position in just over ten minutes. This time, the Kiev Front came with a total of 32 divisions, and the 165th Infantry Division was crippled by planes as soon as it got off the train, and today's 136th Division is even more straightforward, half of it was killed in just over 10 minutes, and it immediately lost its combat effectiveness. If the war is fought like this, the number of troops of the Kyiv Front will not be enough to fill this bottomless pit.

"We all underestimated this Su Tong, it seems that we have to adjust the battle plan and order the troops to stop the attack." Although there was no change on Timoshenge's face, his heart was dripping blood, a fully equipped infantry division lost most of it in less than ten minutes, how could this not make him feel distressed, this was the hard work he had trained for several years.

On the first day, the Russian offensive ended in a hurry, and no new offensive was launched until the evening. This made observers from various countries shocked, and they had the impression that the Russian army was like a broken bamboo, and the scene of the Chinese army being defeated and retreating did not appear, but the Russian army was beaten by someone without even touching the position of the Chinese army. This was the first personal appearance of the 37th Group Army led by Su Tong in front of all countries in the world, and it also made all countries more intuitively deepen their understanding of the military strength of Chahar's political axe.

At the same time, the underground headquarters of Chita Municipal Axe was brightly lit, and the staff officers were busy deducing various plans. Su Tong was also in his office researching how to launch a counterattack. ”

"What a headache! It's annoying! After studying for an afternoon and not being able to figure out any plan, Chief Su stood up upset.

There is still a lack of excellent staff officers under his hands, although Jiang Baili is very good, but he is eyeing his own home, and Chahar can't do without him. So much so that I don't even have someone to discuss with now, so I have to rely on the level of my two knives to support it, it seems that my brother is a tired life in his life. Damn, annoyed Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will learn from the beauty of the future generations, no matter what conspiracies you have, Lao Tzu will go straight over, and come to a force to drop ten meetings.

Alas? Yes, Su Tong recalled that in World War II in later generations, the US military did not use any complicated conspiracies and tricks, everything was based on strength, whether it was fighting Hitler or Xiaoyueben, it was all plane bombing, artillery bombing, and infantry rushing. With these three axes, Lao Mei didn't still beat Hitler and Hideki Tojo all over the place.

Isn't there a famous saying in the Yankees, if you can fight an elephant in strategy, then why do you need a shotgun?

Well, yes, Brother Tomorrow will do the same. Lao Tzu also gave him a straight trip.
