Chapter 452: Soviet Army Counterattack?
readx; Zhukov's proposal was rejected by Stalin on the grounds that the Soviet people were not afraid of sacrifice, the Soviet people were not afraid of difficult conditions, and we should dare to sacrifice and do whatever it took for the sake of our country. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the end, Stalin's advice was to attack with confidence, because Novosibirsk had reached the central region, and once it was lost, then the Soviet military industry would leak under the threat of the Chinese Empire, and then the Soviet Union would be even more difficult, and more people would die.
Therefore, only an attack is the best solution, to completely defeat the arrogance of the enemy, and let them know the pain of aggression.
Although Zhukov was helpless, Stalin had already said so, whether he succeeded or failed, he had to do it, because Stalin's order was everything, otherwise he would be punished most severely, although he was not afraid of this, but Zhukov was a man of fame, and if he violated Stalin's orders, he would not be able to survive in the Soviet Union.
So the offensive has become Zhukov's only way to retreat, at this time Zhukov has all kinds of helplessness, should have appeared on the Western Front battlefield to take the initiative, but at this time Stalin moved to the Far East, it should have been because of the confrontation with the German army caused Stalingrad to be surrounded, but it turned out that Zhukov commanded the Far Eastern Military District to attack the Northern Army Group, but which city should be surrounded this time? Everything is unknown.
Irkutsk, located on the western side of Lake Baikal, in the winter, Army Group North confronted the Soviets across the lake at Ulan-Ude, and before the arrival of spring, before the ice melted on the lake, Army Group North began its offensive from Ulan-Ude and took Irkutsk in one fell swoop.
Now the ice on the lake has begun to melt, and the main forces have all been assembled near Irkutsk in preparation for the spring offensive.
'Didi! Drip, drip! Didi! ’
The old radio sound came, and the communication room in the headquarters of the First Army was busy receiving or sending telegrams, and the soldiers here were silent every day in the sound of telegrams, which were their only weapons for combat, and they were familiar with the meaning of each frequency, and they were the only weapon to support the troops.
After receiving the signal, a messenger immediately handed the recorded password to a translator next to him, and the translator quickly flipped through the codebook, which she had already turned over to the point of rotting, and he had already memorized some of the meanings on the codebook.
The reason why it is still being turned over is that they are looking for some uncertain meanings of numbers, and the telegram must be foolproof, otherwise it will affect the commander's way of fighting, and may even kill more soldiers.
Soon, the translator translated the contents of the telegram, but after the translation was finished, he looked at the content on the paper, but found it a little unbelievable, and even wondered if he had translated it wrong, and continued to look at the codebook, and only after finding that it was correct did he realize the seriousness of the matter.
Hurriedly shouted: "The Soviet army has begun a counteroffensive, and the vanguard is less than a hundred miles away from us." ”
Hearing the shouts of the interpreter, a communications staff officer hurriedly ran over to take the telegram in his hand, and after looking at the contents of it, he didn't care about any gesture, and ran to the headquarters.
"Commander, the Soviets have begun a counteroffensive, and the Air Force has discovered them a hundred miles or so to the west of us."
After the communications staff officer entered the war room, he directly handed the telegram to Li Chengxuan and spoke at the same time.
"Counterattack? Great, haha, I was worried that I didn't have a chance to clean them up, and now I came by myself. ”
After Li Chengxuan read the telegram, he immediately laughed.
This news may be bad news for some people, but for Li Chengxuan, who is eager to find the main force of the Soviet army for a decisive battle, it is a good thing. What is bothering Li Chengxuan now, and even the entire Northern Army Group, is not that the Soviet army is too numerous, but that the Soviet army does not dare to fight, and only knows how to retreat.
And once they retreated, the Northern Army Group did not dare to attack at will, lest they be careless when they were hit, and they had to mobilize other troops to support, so even if they pursued, they were steadily and steadily, pressing forward step by step.
But this is tantamount to giving the enemy a chance to breathe, and at the same time giving them more time to prepare, which is very detrimental to the future battle.
Now that the Soviet army has taken the initiative to send it to the door, how can Li Chengxuan be unhappy? He longed for the Soviet army to appear in front of him immediately, so that he could command more than 800,000 troops of the First Army to launch a war of annihilation against the Soviet army.
"Inform it, the armored corps and the armored infantry division go around behind the Soviet army, cut off their retreat, the two infantry corps one left and one right, surrounded from the flanks, the reserve army and the artillery corps stay in the front, this time Lao Tzu wants to make dumplings with the Soviet devils, let them taste the Chinese food."
Li Chengxuan commanded directly.
There seemed to be no flaws in the battle order, and the forces on all sides were very even, with at least one corps in each direction, and more than 600,000 combat troops were put into it, and even a million Soviet troops could eat them.
Because the current Soviet army is so weak that it doesn't even have a weapon, and it dares to go directly to the front line to fight, I really don't know what Stalin thinks in his head. Li Chengxuan's idea is quite decent, but Su Dao's idea is too strange, Su Dao is still depressed, I really don't know how the Soviet Union won the Germans in this way of sending them to death.
The next time, on the right front, after a day and a night of running, the Soviet army has gradually entered the encirclement, at this time the Soviet army still thought that their actions were very hidden, and no one was discovered, and from everything around, they really did not find it, and now they are just waiting for the troops to suddenly appear in front of the enemy, and then tear it apart.
It's just a pity that in the end this can only be a dream, an impossible dream, the Soviet army thought that the air force reconnaissance of Army Group North did not find them, but they did not expect that the air force did not approach the reconnaissance in order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the Soviet army.
"Damn, t34, the old man of the Soviet Union actually has a t34."
Tang Yong pointed to the tanks of the Soviet devils in the encirclement and said in surprise.
"Quietly, what's wrong with T34? Don't you see that their tanks are very different from ours? At first glance, it's the kind of unbearable look, what's there to be afraid of. ”
Another soldier slammed into Tang Yong's head, hating that iron could not become steel. However, the good times did not last long, and the soldier who taught Tang Yong turned his head directly to look at a captain and asked:
"Company commander, how can they have a T34?"
"I don't know, but their T34 should not be durable, and the power will not be too great, you look at their armor, it looks very thin, and it is not the same as ours at all, and they are equipped with small-caliber artillery, maybe they can't even penetrate the armor of our tanks."
The captain shook his head, he was also curious about where the Soviet T34 tanks came from? But this is not the time for curiosity.
The lineup of the Soviet army is also very simple, the tank plays the headrest, the infantry follows, of course, there are many infantry who sit directly on the tank, and then there are weapons such as artillery and something, swaggering, and there is no hidden mind at all.
Looking at the appearance of the Soviet army, many people could only shake their heads helplessly, fighting against this kind of army, if they were defeated, they would not even have the face to see themselves.
Soon, after a few hours of busyness, the Soviet army finally entered the encirclement, and the number of this group of Soviet troops was more than one million, which can be described as the largest since the beginning of the war.
"Matches, matches, I'm the dumpling wrapper, the dumpling wrapper has been wrapped, and it's ready to be lit."
The commander of the tank division contacted the rear through the radio, signaling that it was possible to open fire for combat.
'Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ’
'Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ’
Suddenly, there was a piercing whistling sound in the air, and the shells tore through the air with all their might, making a sharp howl, followed by huge shells exploding around the Soviet soldiers before they could react.
The orange flames suddenly devoured all the creatures within a radius of tens of meters around, including the dead things, and when the yellow flames gradually disappeared, there was nothing standing in the area that had just been attacked, except for a huge crater, not even a rifle standing there.
Suddenly, the earth trembled horribly, and every inch of the earth was ruthlessly torn apart, and sand, grass, and shrapnel mixed with human stumps splashed wantonly in the air.
No one could survive where the artillery fire passed, and even the Soviet soldiers who were not affected by the artillery fire still couldn't withstand the huge power of the shells, and they were shocked out of internal injuries one by one, spitting out blood, and even holding some minced meat, which looked very terrifying.
This is the artillery corps located in the front again, the artillery corps, is the most favorite branch of the Chinese Imperial Army, and it is also the most hated branch of the enemy. He differed from the artillery of other countries, because the artillery corps of the Chinese Empire was full of large-caliber artillery.
There is a ballad in the Chinese Empire that sings like this, not a hundred is not counted as a cannon, and when you see the artillery, you quickly run, there is only one kind of small-caliber artillery, a 75 mm field gun, which is the same as before, there are several regimental troops, which are used as support firepower.
The difference from the past is that the current artillery division is more powerful than before, in the past only 105 mm and 155 mm artillery, now there is another 203 mm howitzer, so when encountering the artillery corps, the enemy really seems to have no way to deal with it except to escape.
"Mom, Mom, I'm going home, I don't want to fight!"
After seeing the previous scene, a Soviet Red Army only felt that his crotch was very wet, a little hot, but then followed by a cold chill, crying loudly and calling for his mother, while starting to retreat, intending to leave here.
"Sha Qiufu, go back, go back to your post, you are a warrior, you must devote yourself to the battle."
Seeing the scene in front of him, the political commissar standing behind him was a little unhappy, what the hell is this called? At the beginning, some people cried and shouted to go back, if this is the case, then what kind of war is there to fight?
"No, I'm going home, I'm looking for my mom."
Sha Qiufu ignored the political commissar's warning and continued to run back crying loudly.
'Smack!'
The political commissar directly pulled out his pistol, aimed it at Sha Qiufu's back and pulled the trigger, and the gun rang out.
"Coward, the USSR doesn't need a coward like you, all go back to your posts, charge! Charge! The Warlord is ready, as long as they dare to retreat privately, they will be killed. ”
The political commissar shouted as he instructed the Overseer to set up the machine guns.
"Ulla!"
After being warned, the Soviet Red Army, while shouting loudly about Ula, regardless of whether they had weapons or not, rushed forward with the large army. (To be continued.) )
