The hall on the second floor of the municipal fǔ, which originally covered an area of more than 200 square meters, has now been transformed into a command hall, and dozens of staff officers are so busy that their heels touch the back of their heads, some are busy plotting maps, and some are busy making phone calls, but the expressions on their faces are the same, that is, grim.

Now the army on the right flank has only one thirtieth infantry division, and if it is rushed in by Zhukov's tank cluster, and the infantry division that follows behind it takes advantage of the situation to break through" and then rampage through the defense line of Sèlenginsk, then the entire defense line is in danger of collapsing, and once the defense line collapses, then the fate of the more than 200,000 troops awaiting the Sèlenginsk front will be annihilated, completely annihilated.

Bai Chongxi also sat in a corner of the hall, "constantly listening to the reports of the front-line troops.

"The 103rd Infantry Division called, everything is normal with the Soviet troops on the opposite side" and there was nothing unusual about it. ”

"The 4th Infantry Division came to report, everything was normal in front of the position."

"The 30th Infantry Division has reported that a patrol detachment of the 1st Armored Division passed in front of their defense area just now, and it is estimated that it has now returned to the station." After listening to the news that everything was normal from the front line, the hearts of everyone in the hall were only slightly relaxed, but the tank division in Puning Village, which was equipped with the latest tanks, was like a thorn in everyone's hearts. They could open its jaws and pounce on them at any moment.

"The 2nd Air Division reported that they had destroyed all the tanks and vehicles in Puning Village, and the number of people killed and injured was not counted." One of the staff officers answered the phone and shouted loudly, unable to hide the frenzied surprise in his voice.

For a moment, the hall was silent, and countless eyes were focused on the staff officer who was still holding the microphone.

"Whoa............

After a while, deafening applause and cheers immediately resounded in the command hall, "The young officers in the command couldn't help but high-five each other. And those officers who were older or more mature secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

Of course, Bai Chongxi, as the highest commander of Chahar in Siberia, could not cheer like ordinary young officers, but he also sighed secretly in his heart, fortunately, this time it was a great fortune and a great fortune to disintegrate the offensive that Zhukov had not yet launched, otherwise if they were allowed to launch the offensive smoothly without their own preparation, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Aerial reconnaissance reports that the follow-up units of the Soviets following behind their armored divisions are about ten infantry divisions, and at this moment they are retreating one after another."

The good news came one after another............

When the crisis was resolved, everyone couldn't help but celebrate, but they couldn't help but feel a wave of anger at the same time, this Zhukov's move was really ruthless, quietly moving the sharpest tank division to the weakest flank of the Chahar army, tearing the rift, and then relying on the strong force to take the opportunity to surround and eat their own side in one fell swoop, this move is not poisonous.

When they thought of this, the people couldn't help but be angry in their hearts, and evil was born in their guts.

"Retaliation, we must retaliate!" "Yes, retaliate, if you don't give them some face, the old man still thinks that we are kneading the dough, and you can rub it as much as you want, this is okay?" Under the uproar of the crowd, the young staff officers of all the present day became excited, shouting that they wanted to carry out a plan of revenge.

Bai Chongxi looked at the young staff officers in the hall, and nodded secretly in his heart, although these staff officers are all young and inexperienced, but they have a momentum that ordinary officers in China do not have, that is, they are not afraid and dare to face difficulties. In Bai Chongxi's view, the most successful part of the young officer group founded by Su Tong lies in this. Lack of experience can be cultivated, ability is not enough can be cultivated, these are not important, the most important thing is that this army must have a jīng god who dares to face difficulties no matter what strong enemy it encounters, this is the most important thing: "An army can only be considered an excellent army with this kind of jīng god."

If Su Tong talks about political ability, it is mediocre, far inferior to the one in Nanjing, and his military talent is not very good, every time he commands a war, he relies on aircraft bombing, artillery bombing, tank charging infantry to follow up this set, there is nothing new. However, he has a temperament that all the current leaders in the country lack, that is, his waist is hard enough, whether it is against the Japanese himself or the Russians, he is straightening his waist, if anyone dares to bare his teeth at him, he will definitely not be polite to you, no matter if he has been beaten, he will fight first.

This is too rare for many people in China to see the legs and stomachs of foreign adults who have softened by three points, and they have become unreasonable and unreasonable, which is also one of the main reasons why Bai Chongxi agreed to help Su Tong.

"Okay, everyone, be quiet, be quiet!" Seeing that the hall was still full of emotion, Bai Chongxi couldn't help but raise his voice.

After seeing that the hall was quiet, Bai Chongxi said slowly: "Okay, I can understand everyone's feelings, everyone wants to take revenge on Lao Máozi, to be honest, I want to do it too!" But as the old saying goes, "If you want to take revenge on others, you can't kill people with your mouth alone, if you have any good ideas, make a plan first, come to me, if it is feasible, I will report to the two governors Su and Jiang, and then make a decision." ”

After all, Bai Chongxi is not a máo head xiǎo son, he has always believed that he cannot rely on momentary anger and unplanned and unprepared to retaliate against the enemy, "otherwise it is not called revenge, it is called death." But if he didn't retaliate, he was afraid that he would hurt the positive below, and when Bai Chongxi was in a dilemma, an officer walked up to him and said, "Chief Bai, Chief Su's phone!" ”

Bai Chongxi grabbed the microphone on the table and said with a smile, "Jianming, why do you have time to call my brother today." ”

Su Tong's hearty laughter came from the phone: "Brother Jiansheng, I heard that you are in trouble there, do you need my help?" ”

Bai Chongxi smiled helplessly, "The mouths of these xiǎo sons are really fast, I originally wanted to tell you in two days" Since you all know, then I will report the situation to you, the commander of the Su, ......

With Bai Chongxi's report, Su Tong listened silently on the violent end of the phone, and waited until Bai Chongxi finished his report before he asked softly, "So what are you going to do?" ，”

Bai Chongxi said with a wry smile: "I just didn't think about how to be distressed, if I launched a ground counterattack, with our army's strength in Siberia, it would be overwhelming, but if I didn't counterattack, I am afraid it would dampen the morale of the people below, and I am afraid it will not be beautiful." Now I'm just going to let them make a plan and make a decision. "Plan,? Su Tong's snort came from the other end of the phone: "What is the plan" If you have to make a plan even to take revenge, then the staff will not be exhausted! Brother Jiansheng, let me ask you, what are our advantages now? Where is the enemy's disadvantage? Air Force! Without waiting for Bai Chongxi to answer Su Tong, he said it by himself.

"Old máozi now has more troops than us, and we can't afford to fight for consumption, but we also have our own strengths, so let's use our strengths to fight their shortcomings, what do we have, good things, all greet him, didn't Zhukov see that we were dragged by the three eastern provinces and Vladivostok chōu and wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob? Then let's tell him plainly, even if you take advantage of the fire to rob, "You are not qualified." You are the head of our 7th theater of operations in Siberia, and I only ask for "as for how to do it, you can see what to do", I just want the result. Revenge "must revenge" Revenge immediately! ”

After saying three revenge in a row, Su Tong hung up the phone, ...... holding the microphone with a busy sound in his hand, Bai Chongxi lost his mind for a long time before he came back to his senses and secretly reviewed himself, "Is this the difference between himself and Su Tong?" Or just like Su Tong said: "Chinese people always like to think about things very complicated", a thing that was originally quite simple has become very complicated when it comes to us. "It's still Su Tong right, isn't it revenge, as for thinking so complicated, let's just leave if we have something to do!

Bai Chongxi, who had made up his mind, stretched out his hand to the phone again............

The nights of winter are quiet, even on the battlefield. The sound of gunfire from time to time during the day gradually calmed down, and the city of Xiǎo was now in the hands of the Chahar army, "On the opposite side of it was a position composed of countless trenches, foxholes, and anti-artillery dòng dug by the Soviet army, which stretched back more than 60 kilometers in a zigzag way, and Zhukov thought that he had brought the role of the trench to the extreme, and he was very relieved."

In the first half of the night, there was a roar from the direction of Ulan-Ude, this is a group of B17 bombers taking off from Ulan-Ude, there are 300 B17s participating in the bombing operation tonight, in order to carry out this retaliation Bai Chongxi moved out all the B17 bombers in Siberia.

With the strengthening of Chahar's production capacity and the joining of experts poached from Germany, the United States and other countries, Chahar is now finally able to produce this strategic bomber, which represents a symbol of national strength. Although the production is not much, "only about a dozen aircraft per month", it also represents a huge progress, "and after being equipped with infrared night vision devices, the B17 also has the ability to fight at night."

"The height remains the same! Maintain an altitude of 9,000 meters! ", "Open Cabin Mén"

"Start dropping bombs!"

The bomber group flew over the first line of defense of the Soviet army, and as the leading aircraft was the first to drop the bomb, the dense group of planes behind also dropped the demon representing destruction.

The 240-ton high-explosive bombs carried by the 300 B17s fell on the positions of the Soviet troops, and the bursts of fire and smoke filled the night sky.

The tremor was so great that it woke up the entire army that was still asleep along the line. So much so that the Soviet troops on the front line mistakenly thought that the Chahar army was going to start a large-scale attack on them, and they were desperately calling for reinforcements to the rear, which alarmed Zhukov, who was far away in Nizhny Udinsk
