Chapter 510: Bombing Abakan
readx; There were not enough troops, but a position was laid out that could accommodate a million people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This time, not only the soldiers on the front line were stunned, but even Liu Ling, who was sitting in the rear and leading the army to fight, was also stunned.
He really couldn't think of what the Soviet Union was doing with this trick?
What is the use of having such a position in Abakan? In fact, Abakan is not a must-attack place for Army Group North, although there is a large plain there, there is also reclaimed land, as long as it is occupied, it can be used directly.
But to put it mildly, the traffic situation in the Abakan region is so worrying that even if they take it, they will have to invest huge money and strength to ensure that it is the same as the rest of the region.
In other words, the current occupation of Abakan is of no use at all, it is simply a burden.
However, the Soviet army arranged such a large position in the Abakan area, and Liu Ling could not ignore it.
Although the economic conditions here are very average, it is very close to Krasnoyarsk, and if it is left alone, the Soviet troops in the Abakan area will not tire of sneaking up on Army Group North.
And what makes Liu Ling most entangled is that once troops are transferred from other places, there will be no place in the third-line battlefield where the enemy can be completely annihilated, and it is very likely to enter a state of confrontation, which is not the situation that Liu Ling wants to see.
Beat? Now there are not enough troops to guarantee victory on other fronts. Don't fight? Placing such a bomb beside him, Liu Ling was also very worried in his heart.
How, exactly?
"Order the Air Force to bomb the towns and positions on the outskirts of the Abakan region."
After a long time, Liu Ling still decided to test it first, but if it really didn't work, he could only transfer the Tenth Army out.
The Third Army and the Seventh Army, on the other hand, were already overstretched because they had to defend most of the areas they had already occupied, and they had to prepare their forces to take over the areas they were about to occupy, so these two armies really couldn't draw any troops.
If there is really any accident, it is estimated that the reserves in the northeast will also be sent, of course, Liu Ling does not want to send the reserves as well.
If this is the case, then he will not have any mobile forces in his hands, and once the situation on the battlefield deteriorates, he will be helpless against it, and once one side is defeated, then the entire front will not be able to be saved.
It took more than half a year and tens of thousands of soldiers killed to finally achieve the results, and Liu Ling was unwilling to watch them recaptured by the Soviet army.
At present, there are six group armies with nearly 5 million men in the front-line combat units of Army Group North, and there are more than 500,000 reserve forces in the rear, totaling more than 6 million people.
Although most of the logistics troops are old, weak, sick and disabled, they are also considered soldiers within the establishment of the Chinese Empire, but this was expanded later, as for the previous logistics troops?
Those with slightly stronger combat effectiveness were either transferred to the reserve or directly supplemented with other units on the front, and the logistics units of the earliest period long ceased to exist.
At present, most of the logistics troops in their hands, except for some automobile soldiers, are newly recruited soldiers from the northeast region, and the age level is also uneven, the oldest soldier is already in his forties, and the youngest is less than 18 years old.
It can be said that the Northeast region has basically been emptied by them, and there is no ability to continue to expand, if this cannot defeat the Soviet army, then they have no other way than to continue to draw troops from the mainland.
Bombing the positions in the Abakan area, in order to lure out the troops who built the fortifications, if they did not care about these destroyed fortifications, it would naturally be the best, once there was a large number of Soviet troops to repair the fortifications, then Liu Ling could only transfer the Tenth Army.
This battle has been fought until now, Liu Ling has also fought with Zhukov for half a year, this is the first deployment that makes Liu Ling confused, and it is also the first time that Liu Ling is so entangled in the battle.
Ring fortifications, one ring after another, if the number of attacking troops is too small, it can be said that one is stuck in one, and there is no place to run, and the last thing you want to see in the field is this kind of fortification, and it is too laborious to attack.
The reason why he is so worried about the ring fortifications is not without basis, in the early years of the Anti-Japanese War in China, in a small village in Zhejiang, Liu Lingke saw its power with his own eyes.
After entering the village, the army got lost within a few minutes, and no matter how they walked, they could not find the right direction, even with a compass.
Originally, the Yue army had to go back the same way, and from then on, the Yue army often passed by this small village, but never entered the village again, always bypassing it.
According to the locals, it is Zhuge Village, where the descendants of Zhuge Liang live, and the layout of the village is built according to the Bagua map, except for the people in their village, outsiders will get lost when they enter.
And that village is also a village with the best security, and there is never any need to worry about thieves or anything, because the thieves can't get out after they go in, or in other words, after entering, the villagers only need to wait at the entrance of the village, and after a while, the thieves will come out and surrender.
Although the power of the ring fortification in front of him is far less than the Bagua map, but he does not dare to underestimate it, in front of an excellent general, he will make use of any small detail, once it is trapped, it will be a bitter battle, a vicious battle.
'Buzzing ......'
Hundreds of bombers flew forward under the cover of fighter planes, and from the ground, there was a large area of black pressure in the air, and the scene was very spectacular.
And here in the Soviet Union, no one is curious about this scene in the air, the soldiers of Army Group North have long been accustomed to it, and the Soviets, although angry and frightened, have no way to do it.
Although the Air Force was also equipped with the latest fighters, it still could not defeat the other side, and in several months of air battles, it completely lost air supremacy, and now the Soviet Air Force has basically become an ornament.
And the newly produced fighters in the factory were also sent to the Western Front to confront the Germans, after all, they could still play a role there, but now, since the Germans replaced the Hellcat fighters, the Soviet Air Force has become a tragedy again.
Therefore, after seeing the air force of the Chinese Empire, the first reaction of the Soviets was to hide and avoid this catastrophe as much as possible.
The Soviets were psychologically tired of the long period of resistance, and although they had to resist, they were also frightened and worried in the face of the huge death toll.
By now, more than half of all families in the Soviet Union have lost at least one man, and even two or more men.
At this time, the family was completely a family with a female surname, except for the children, all the work, farm work, factory workers, cooking and laundry, all needed to be done, and the family living conditions were getting worse and worse, and many Soviets were on the verge of collapse.
If this is just a constant seasoning, then another thing will be the last straw that will overwhelm the Soviets, and according to incomplete statistics, one in 10,000 Soviet families has ceased to exist, and all their family members have died in the war.
And as the war continues, the rate of growth will increase more and faster, because in addition to the war, hunger is also the biggest problem they have to face, at the earliest it was only 1 in 100,000, and in just a few months, this number has increased to 1 in 10,000.
This has already caused a certain panic among the Soviet popular class, and if it had not been for the forcible suppression by the Soviet political axe, and the fact that the Soviet people had not completely lost the will to resist, it is estimated that the Soviet people would have surrendered long ago.
'Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ’
One after another, 500-kilogram aerial bombs were dropped at an altitude of about 500 meters, and there was no need to aim at all.
Whether it was the small town of Abakan or the outer positions, they fell into a sea of fire for a while, and the Soviet soldiers who were patrolling were directly blown up before they had time to dodge.
Houses were bombed into ruins, and both ordinary people and Soviet soldiers were destroyed along with the houses.
Hundreds of bombers, although it seems to be a chaotic bomb drop, but the focus is still on the sky above the small town of Abakan, nearly a thousand bombs of 500 kilograms were thrown into the town of Abakan.
And when the bombers left, the whole of Abakan was in ruins, and the houses that were still standing could be counted on one pair of hands.
Feel the terrifying tremor of the earth, the cannonballs relentlessly tearing every inch in his blockade of air, dirt, bunker, and life.
Sun Quanbing and the others, who were hiding in the forest not far away to observe the situation, couldn't help but feel frightened after seeing this kind of scene, it was really terrifying.
If they hadn't experienced it personally and watched the effects of hundreds of bombers dropping bombs at the same time, Sun Quanbing and others would never have known what kind of shock this kind of thing could bring to people?
In just over 20 minutes of bombing, the whole of Abakan became a ruin, while the bombers flew away, as if they were not doing it.
And on those bombed positions, there were the wails of soldiers, and there were also some uninjured soldiers who were checking the situation of the people around them.
However, through observation, Sun Quanbing confirmed one point, this seems to be an empty city, and the number of people on the position is not much, which is not much different from what they saw before, but I don't know what the situation in the town is? (To be continued.) )
