Chapter 635: Intensify the attack
"Comrade commander, Krasnoyars has lost the ground, and Lieutenant General Sloya has also sent a telegram that since the failure of his counterattack, the Chinese army has initiated a large-scale counterattack against them, and their losses are very heavy under the bombardment of aircraft and heavy artillery, and the Chinese even used heavy artillery with a diameter of 305 mm to attack, and they are about to be unable to withstand it." An operational adviser told Vasilevsky.
Vasilevsky's spirit was obviously much more haggard than some time ago, and in the face of the attack on the right of the Chinese army, which was completely superior in terms of the number of troops and weapons and equipment...... "there was no good way." In large-scale battles that often cost millions or even millions, what tactics and tactics are superb and strategic are all trivial, and the only thing that can be compared between the two sides is their respective strengths. Vasilevsky knew very well that under such overwhelming pressure from the Chinese army, the disintegration of the Southeastern Front was only a matter of time, and the only thing that could be done now was to break through the encirclement as soon as possible while the army's supplies and ammunition could still support it.
A telegram to Moscow requesting a breakout has been sent, and now the only thing they have to do is expect.
Thinking of this, Vasilevsky did not hesitate to order: "Order Comrade Sloya to hold Irkutsk and never allow the Chinese army to occupy it." ”
"But aren't we going to give them a little reinforcement?" The combat advisor asked after a moment's hesitation.
"Reinforcements?" Vasilevsky smiled bitterly, "Although there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in Nizhny Udinsk now, do you think the reinforcements sent can reach Irkutsk safely under the indiscriminate bombardment of the opponent's planes?" ”
The operational adviser was silent, the sky now belongs to the Chinese, they are firmly staring at the railway line in the air, their soldiers and materials are simply not able to reach Irkusik by railway without the cover of aircraft, even if they break through, they don't know how much military strength and ......materials they will lose, "The question is, can these troops still have combat effectiveness even after they reach Irkutsk?"
"Tell!" A communications adviser strode in, and with an irrepressible joy in his belly, he exclaimed: "Comrade commander, the Supreme High Command has approved our request to break through the encirclement, and Comrade Stalin has ordered us to choose our own way of breaking out. ”
"Has the High Command approved our request?" A gleam of joy flashed in Vasilevsky's eyes.
"Yes, the Supreme Command ordered us to re-establish our defensive positions in Omsk after breaking through the siege, and we must stop the Chinese army in the area east of Omsk......"
"Omsk!" Vasilevsky pondered for a while, then went to the map to observe the terrain and shook his head: "The terrain of Omsk is actually not suitable for defense, we can only use the good terrain there to build a defensive ground by pushing to Yekaterinburg, and only then can we get support from Moscow and the Caucasus." ”
"Comrade commander," the communications adviser could not finish his sentence when he was interrupted by the operational adviser, "but there is nothing about it, Omsk is now unable to protect itself, and even if we retreat to Omsk, we will not be able to guarantee that we can hold it, but will waste and consume our valuable military strength in vain." "The combat adviser's words were rude, but the communications adviser knew it was true. The vicinity of Omsk is a flat river, the terrain is flat, the most suitable for armored army operations, now the armored army of the Southeast Front is actually not much, and it has also lost air supremacy, really in Omsk and the armored cluster of Huaxia to fight a decisive battle, that will definitely make the commander of the Chinese army dream city to wake up with a smile.
"Okay, taking advantage of the fact that the outflanking circle of the Chinese army has just formed a consultant department to make a scare, the breakthrough plan must be carried out in two days." Vasilevsky was also a decisive person, and once he decided to do something, he would immediately carry it out. Just when Vasilevsky decided to break through the siege, Liu Yecheng was also commanding the First Army Group and initiated an attack on the Soviet 23rd Army holding Irkutsk. Zichou was almost caught off guard by the Soviet army the day before yesterday, although he finally held the position with the tenacity of the 103rd Division, but Liu Yecheng also felt quite disgraced, and then commanded the army to launch a fierce attack on the armored army and Cik, and almost blew Irkutsk into ruins in two days.
The Soviet army, which suffered heavy casualties, retreated one after another, retreated 30 kilometers, and finally relied on the remnants of the rock wall of Irkutsk to hold half of the city, and Irkutsk was already crumbling......
In the almost razed streets, the Wehrmacht and the Korean and Vietnamese Servant Troops formed a number of small detachments, slowly approaching the Soviet-controlled area along the streets, which was a key area of Soviet defense, in which they built many bunkers and bunkers, causing heavy casualties to the besieging army.
A middle-aged non-commissioned officer was slowly leaning forward with a dozen soldiers bent over the wall.
The non-commissioned officer ordered in a low voice: "Da Nian, you have to carefully observe the news of the enemy, Lao Maozi has built a lot of dark forts here now, and everyone is scattered, don't fuck everyone in a pile like a shy little daughter-in-law." ”
"Old squad leader, I really want to hear someone calling, it seems to be a few children!" Zhang Danian wandered for a moment and whispered.
"What is the purpose?"
"It's in the southeast, in that building more than a hundred meters away from us." Zhang Danian pointed to a house on the right that had been half destroyed by artillery fire.
"Let's go, go over and have a look!" The old squad leader waved his hand and quietly walked to the right with a group of people.
When a dozen soldiers quietly came to the building, they found more than a dozen Vietnamese soldiers escorting three teenagers out of the house, the youngest of whom was about twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest was only seven or eight years old.
The old squad leader led someone over and frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?" Don't you know that the previous decree explicitly forbade the indiscriminate abuse of prisoners of war? What's more, they are still children. ”
Seeing the arrival of the Wehrmacht soldiers, a Vietnamese army junior bureau at the head of the Vietnamese army hurriedly stood up and said: "Lord, these children are also resistant, and two of our soldiers were injured because of this, so we will teach these little rabbit cubs a lesson." ”
"This kid has joined the Dangdang too?" The Wehrmacht soldiers could not help but look at these children with suspicion, who could barely be called teenagers.
"Yes, the Lord's seat!" The Vietnamese soldier said with a look of indignation: "When we came here, they and two Russian soldiers hid in the house and shot at our soldiers, and if I wasn't lucky, they would have killed them. ”
"That's right." The old squad leader pondered for a while and said, "Since you have already given them the teaching magazine, forget it, they are still a few children, and they have already surrendered, so there is no need to beat them anymore." ”
"Yes, Lord!" Seeing that the main seat of the national army spoke, this Vietnamese army junior bian was also happy to be a favor, and waved his hand to recruit back a few soldiers who were teaching these children.
When the old squad leader was about to continue walking towards the enrichment with his brothers, one of the oldest teenagers suddenly threw up at one of the soldiers walking at the back. saliva, cursing loudly in his mouth.
The old squad leader stopped and frowned, and asked Wang Chunsheng, the recruit who had just made up for it next to him and the only one in the class who knew Russian, said, "Chunsheng, what is this kid talking about?" Wang Chunsheng looked at the child, then looked at the old squad leader and wandered for a while before saying, "Squad leader, this kid said that sooner or later he will kill all of us evil imperialist mercenaries and these hateful lackeys next to him. ”
"Hmm!" The old squad leader's face immediately sank, and he walked to these teenagers, what he saw was in the eyes of several teenagers The eyes of the resentment flowed out of the eyes as if they could shoot people through, such a look The old squad leader was very familiar, that was a look that only the unforgettable grievances could flow out.
"What have you done in there to make them hate you like this?" The old squad leader asked the second lieutenant of the Vietnamese army next to him.
"Lord, we just found the bodies of the parents of these children inside, probably killed by our plane or artillery." The second lieutenant of the Vietnamese army replied.
"That's right!" The old squad leader pondered for a while, and said to Wang Chunsheng beside him: "Chunsheng, you go and ask these children if this is the case." ”
Wang Chunsheng came to the side of these teenagers and asked in Russian, spit a mouthful of saliva in Wang Chunsheng's face for the older teenager in the past, and scolded angrily.
After a while, Wang Chunsheng returned with some helplessness and said: "Squad leader, the parents of these children were really killed by our plane, and they are still uh and uh......"
"What else?"
"They also said that when they grow up, they will kill all of us white bandits!" Seeing that the old squad leader's face was not good, Wang Chunsheng hurried back.
"Kill us all? Hehe, they don't have a lot of guts! The old squad leader sneered a few times, and there was a hint of imperceptible sharpness in his eyes. He walked up to the Vietnamese soldier and whispered a few words in his ear, and the Vietnamese soldier nodded his head after hearing this, and a trace of hideous color appeared on his face.
"Let's go, let's go!" The old squad leader waved his hand and led his brothers to another building, and when they had just walked more than ten meters, they heard a few crisp gunshots "bang bang bang". When everyone looked back, they found that the three teenagers who were still standing in front of the room had fallen in a pool of blood, and the M1911 Browning pistol in the hands of the Vietnamese second lieutenant was emitting faint green smoke. @
