When the order from Air Force One was conveyed to the Northeast Theater Command, Kong Wenhong, Chen Cheng, and Zhang Zizhong discussed the next offensive in the command headquarters.

At present, there are three places in front of them, one is the coastal line near Sakhalin Bay, which is the last line of defense of the Allied army. The Allied forces are heavily massed, and with a large number of tanks, they are the most powerful Allied forces in this place at the moment.

Another place is Sakhalin, because the weather warms up, Zhang Zizhong advocated sending paratroopers to directly land on Sakhalin Island, cooperate with the Marine Corps, directly land on Sakhalin Island, and occupy Sakhalin Island. At the same time, it can also prevent the Allied forces gathered along the coast from retreating with the help of the narrow bay and holding Sakhalin with heavy forces.

The third place is the first ice-free port in the Far East, Vladivostok. In this Far Eastern fortress, more than 200,000 Kwantung troops were trapped and tried to use the Vladivostok fortress to defend to the death and keep their last colony of the Japanese Empire here.

The three objectives are of great strategic value. However, it is taboo for soldiers to divide their troops into three places, especially in front of them, there are nearly a million allied troops, and these allied troops are also elite troops armed to the teeth. In particular, they also have more than 10,000 tanks, as well as an equal number of armored vehicles, and they are not soft persimmons.

The order conveyed by Chen Shao did not help the discussion of the three of them much.

Which one to fight first has become the key to the current Northeast Theater.

"According to me, those million allies must be wiped out first. As long as this heavy army group is eliminated, the enemy is here. It can't set off any wind and waves. And Vladivostok, we don't need to attack at all, use the cloud burst bomb to suffocate the 'rats' inside, or apply to His Majesty again, and directly have a nuclear explosion, which is also very simple. As for Sakhalin, we just need to guard against the heavy army group on the opposite side and not cross the strait. When we get rid of this heavy army group, then Sakhalin will be in our pocket. Chen Cheng said.

Resolutions that cannot be discussed at the moment. Chen Cheng's words are still quite pertinent.

"Don't think about a nuclear explosion. His Majesty will never agree, Vladivostok is not Komsomolsk, and for a good port, it is shameful to waste it. But the cloudburst bomb. There is nothing to be afraid of. The little devil thinks well. We're not going to let them get what they want. Zhang Zizhong said.

"Vladivostok. The complexity of the passage inside is better than that of Komsomolsk, whether it is the Soviet Union or Little Japan, it is painstakingly managed. There is no problem at all with hundreds of thousands of people inside. And according to the amount of grain stored, it is enough for them to produce for more than half a year. It seems to me that there is no hurry at all about Vladivostok, our main goal at the moment is that heavy group, and I would like to see how much the enemy's combat effectiveness has increased with a change of commander. ”

"Everyone knows His Majesty's instructions just now, and since this is the case, then concentrate your forces and take out this heavy army group, and from now on, there will be no major war in Eastern Siberia. We can also spare our hands and recover Sakhalin and Vladivostok. ”

"Well, in that case, let's first decide to dismantle this heavy army group."

Once there is a consensus of opinion, it is time to develop tactics. While the three of them continued to discuss, the heavy military group they talked about was not idle at all.

When Abrams officially took over as commander, he began to arrange operational orders with great fanfare. The young commander gave orders without interruption. The thoughts in his mind soon became reality.

Behind the area of war with China, deep trenches were dug. Based on the mastery of the Chinese tanks, judging the ability of the opposing side to climb over, Abrams quickly worked out the depth and width of the trench.

The width is more than eight meters, and the depth also reaches six or seven meters. It was built with the anti-tank trench completely taking into account the body of the Chinese tank. And it is not just one that is built, but one after another in depth.

And behind these trenches, a large number of anti-tank infantry was arranged. A large number of anti-tank mines, as well as anti-infantry mines, are laid out.

This idea can completely exhaust nearly a million Allied troops, and the land where the ice and snow are gradually melting, it is not an easy task to dig such a trench, and such a trench has to span several kilometers at a time. It's terrifying to listen to, let alone made.

Also, to the comfort of many Allied soldiers, they seem to have a lot of engineering vehicles like excavators.

But the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes, and Chinese planes are patronizing every day, where will they let them build such a big project as they wish. Although the Allies had concentrated all their anti-aircraft weapons as much as possible to protect the digging troops, the cunning Chinese fighters fired missiles directly outside the range of the anti-aircraft weapons, blowing up the busy excavators into scrap metal.

In just half a day, nearly a million Allied soldiers, looking at the engineering vehicles that had become scrap metal, had no choice but to take out the sapper shovel, face the loess with their backs to the sky, and dig slowly!

It is a scene in full swing, and if it were not for the Chinese fighters who came to make trouble from time to time, such a picture would really look like the scene when China was carrying out large-scale construction.

If these allies were really given a day or two, perhaps Abrams's ideal defensive position would have really appeared perfectly. It's just that the war is fought against time, and Kong Wenhong and the others are not fools, where will they go to the deep ditch as they wish to block the advance of the armored troops.

Under the constant trembling of the earth, the rested Chinese armored cluster began a new round of attack, and it was also the last round.

April 4, 16th year of ZTE.

For what was perhaps the longest day of the year for the Allied soldiers, the vastness and richness of Eastern Siberia was still shrouded in darkness, still asleep.

At 2 o'clock in the morning, the first line of assault troops of the main forces of the Chinese armored cluster entered the starting position, and the senior generals of the Chinese Defense Forces on four fronts also began to enter the field command post.

At 3 a.m., thousands of planes from several air groups of the Chinese army in Eastern Siberia began to take off, preparing for an air attack on the last heavy Allied group, including Allied armored forces. Command posts of all levels have been exposed, defensive positions that have just been built, pillboxes and trenches.

At this moment, the combat planes of the Chinese army that had entered the territorial airspace of Eastern Siberia from the deserted forests and snow were approaching the predetermined targets in a dense formation, including the organs of the High Staff Headquarters, the large barracks that had already been reconnoitred, the artillery positions at various important points, especially the antiaircraft artillery positions, the fortifications in key defensive areas, the assembly places for tank and armored clusters, the logistics storage bases, the oil supplies, and the port facilities along the Baltic and Black Sea coasts.

More than 2,000 midnight ghosts with dragon-shaped patterns on the fuselage are under the control of the pilot, who has already experienced a hundred battles. Take advantage of the cover of night. The first wave of attacks was carried out by flying through sparsely populated and hard-to-detect areas along the border, and behind them, close to 3,000 combat aircraft of various types. Even transport aircraft carrying two airborne divisions were included in the formation of the second echelon. The black press pressed and followed.

4 a.m. Almost at the same time that the first bomb of the Chinese army's combat aircraft fell on the heads of the allied forces, tens of thousands of artillery pieces of various types deployed by the Chinese army in the border areas also began to fire for an hour-long covering fire on the defensive front lines and deep areas of the allied forces.

From the early morning of April 4 to the night of the same day, the Allied forces were still building fortifications. The entire front was mired in great passivity, especially among the Allied soldiers, who suffered heavy losses, and more than 1,000 tanks of the five armored divisions, which were resting, were destroyed before they could enter the hiding point.

And the Allies did not have much left, and the fighters that were taking off at risk could not withstand two blows and crashed one after another. With absolute air supremacy, the Chinese army was divided into three clusters: northern, central, and southern, as if a mighty iron current was rolling towards the million-strong Allied army.

The sudden attack made Abrams a little incredulous, he never thought that China's attack would come so quickly that he couldn't react at all. As an armored soldier, he concluded early on that it would take at least a few days for China's armored troops to renovate before they could once again form combat effectiveness, and it was impossible for them to organize an effective offensive at this time.

It's just that everything that happened in front of him ruthlessly overturned his idea and beat him to the ground.

Hundreds of thousands of elite army troops from more than 200 kilometers east of Komsomolsk, and then with Komsomolsk as the midpoint, up and down to a frontal front of 230 kilometers, armored troops use wedge-shaped formations to tear through the already fragile Allied soldiers' border defense line, and then a large number of mechanized troops and motorized infantry poured in together, and the artillery units with the help of the artillery units launched a firepower extension, and the air force units of the Chinese army have carried out large-scale bombing of the Allied forces.

The main force of the Northeast Theater totaled more than 600,000 troops, forming a huge attack force. These units were divided into three army groups according to the plan of the supreme commander of the theater, and were divided into northern, central, and southern army groups according to their directions, and each army group was supported by an aviation division and an army aviation division, thus providing adequate air support.

The size of Army Group North is the smallest of the three army groups, consisting of one armored group and two infantry corps, a total of eleven divisions, including three armored divisions, six mechanized infantry divisions, plus the Northern heavy artillery group, one airborne division and one army aviation division.

In the early morning of the 4th, the army group crossed Berketor from the north of Komsomolsk, and then turned northeast to attack due east through the northern section of the Bria River.

The three armored divisions of the Northern Army Group have more than 1,600 tanks (the elite of the Chinese army's armored forces - the Apocalypse tank and the Rhino tank are equipped with nearly 800 vehicles, which has become the absolute fist of the northern group), plus the Chinese army's unique self-propelled artillery unit accompanying the advance of the armored unit, the light tank, the engineer Spitfire tank, the heavy assault gun, etc., a total of nearly 3,000 tanks and self-propelled guns. More than 1,000 aircraft of the 17th Air Division of the Chinese Air Force were on air support for the army group, and as the steel giant advanced, the Soviet defenses on the northern front were retreating.

However, in terms of the overall situation after the start of the war, in the northern part of the Eastern Siberian battlefield, the Chinese army on the attacking side had a firepower advantage, and this advantage was overwhelming and sudden.

The Central Army Group of the Chinese Army, which serves as the central breakthrough, is the largest army group of the Chinese Army in Eastern Siberia, which includes two armored groups and one army group, with a total of 21 divisions, including 12 armored divisions, 76 mechanized divisions and motorized divisions, which form a strong force of two armored groups.

The remaining 200,000 second-line infantry units, together with an equally large artillery unit, became a formidable follow-up cluster and auxiliary attacking force, which swarmed through the breakthrough of the tanks, surrounded the Allied soldier army like a flood, and then divided and annihilated.

The war broke out in the early morning of the 4th, and the army group of 500,000 Chinese troops launched a pincer offensive with a wide opening from the north and south of the salient in the East Siberian region. In order to deal with the Allied heavy forces near this coastline in one fell swoop, the two armored groups of Army Group Center attacked in two directions, north and south.

It can be seen from the number of troops invested in the Northeast Theater that it is in the most important direction of attack in this theater. Army Group Center of the Chinese Army had a large superiority in strength, and the group also occupied favorable terrain, because in this area the Allied forces bent sharply towards the side of the Chinese army, forming a salient 100 li long and 200 li wide.

This salient exposed both Allied flanks to the Chinese army. The Chinese army's offensive was to launch a centripetal assault on the Allies from these two flanks, trying to annihilate them in this area and clear the last obstacle for the land that was about to be incorporated into the Chinese territory.

The armored cluster in the north, with the cooperation of motorized infantry, had broken through the third line of defense in depth by the evening of the same day. The armored cluster in the south, with the cooperation of powerful artillery fire, was in full swing from Komsomolsk to the coast, and the tank and mechanized troops advanced straight to the north.

Each of these powerful armored units on the north and south routes has an elite armored division and a powerful motorized division to form an armored rapid force deployed on the outside to support the two flanks of Army Group Center and be ready to move to the first line of the offensive at any time.

There is another consideration for the Northeast Theater to do this, so that Komsomolsk can be used as the central point, and then extend on both sides, pull out a wide front to form a huge steel pincer, ready to swallow the last strength of the allies in one bite.

The troops of Army Group South consisted of fourteen elite divisional units, which formed a reinforced armored group and two army groups. Of these, eight armored divisions, seven mechanized infantry divisions and motorized divisions formed an unprecedented armored group.

Behind them were the 400,000 men of the second-line troops, forming two over-the-top armies, so that they already had a strong force of nearly 600,000. When the three clusters are added up, counting the second-line troops, in fact, China has completely surpassed the number of millions of Allied troops in terms of numbers. China has rarely fought such a battle of prosperity.

From the 4th to the 6th, three days of fighting had resulted in nearly a third of the Allied armies on the front line being wiped out, routed, retreated, or thrown into disarray.

However, the Allied troops on the second and third lines had already begun to establish an effective defense and began to put up strong resistance, but because the troops were too far forward and the defense was not fully prepared, the Allied soldiers were still in a great passive state after three days of fighting.

On the other hand, after the start of the war, all units closely cooperated and carried out the offensive plan in an orderly manner according to the pre-war deployment. In particular, the armored units have achieved quite remarkable results in carrying out such tactical tactics as wedge-shaped breakthroughs, large-scale detour operations, bold penetrations, breakthroughs on both flanks, and division and encirclement on the vast plains, and the front-line troops have advanced 180 to 220 kilometers to the Allied forces in three days, and the Chinese army has undoubtedly grasped the initiative on the battlefield at this time.

The only thing left for the Allies was to defend and defend, although Abrams had built a number of anti-tank trenches and planted a large number of anti-tank mines in the time he had already gained on the front line. However, in the face of China's powerful mechanized troops, it is nothing more than useless work.

Special tanks such as bridge-building tanks, anti-mine fighting vehicles, and other special tanks ruthlessly destroyed the efforts of the Abrams. And the rest of his armor force is often quickly shredded by the Apocalypse Tank and the Rhino Tank when it appears, and then it is either captured or becomes a pile of burning scrap metal.

As soon as the war began, the outcome was already predestined. The previous failures, you can blame the loss of command, the current failures are complete failures. (To be continued......)
