Countless shells and aerial bombs rained down like hail on the forward positions of the coalition forces outside the eastern part of Ufa City.

The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces in the city of Ufa, Paul? Feng? Hindenburg, just formulated a battle plan for the Chinese Imperial Army, hoping to completely defeat the Chinese Imperial Army outside the city, the army commanders of the other 6 countries also agreed with the Hindenburg plan, these 6 commanders sadly put the Chelyabinsk City of more than 2 million elite troops of the coalition army, in a big war to get gone, although the heads of state in many considerations, did not remove them from the position of commander, but their current pressure is very great, if they can follow the Hindenburg plan, The complete defeat of the main forces of the Imperial Chinese Army here in the city of Ufa will not be mentioned again for their poor performance in the Battle of Chelyabinsk.

However, before the coalition could even begin to draw out the two units that had been regarded as surprise soldiers, the troops of the Chinese Empire outside the city of Ufa launched a fierce attack on the city of Ufa on December 12, the day after the Hindenburg plan was approved.

Of course, the attack mode of the Chinese Imperial Army is still a routine, first let the fighters of the Air Force and the artillery of the Army bombard the forward positions of the coalition forces, but the large-caliber artillery of the Army is limited by the pressure of logistics, and has not been bombarded unscrupulously, and only bombarded happily for less than 10 minutes, and then died down, leaving the opportunity for performance to the fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Imperial Air Force.

Good steel should be used on the blade, and the army's large-caliber artillery shells should be kept for critical times. For example, at night, the Air Force's fighters are unable to provide air fire support. It's time for the army's large-caliber artillery to show its skills, if there are no accidents. The Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, relying on the strong air support of the air force during the day, occupied the positions of the coalition forces, and at night will definitely be counterattacked by the coalition forces.

Compared with the army's artillery units, a large number of improved Yellow Sparrow fighters and improved Blue Eagle bombers took off from near the city of Chelyabinsk, but they had enough aerial bombs, so more than 1,300 fighters were divided into four waves. Tons and tons of aerial bombs began to be dropped on the positions of the coalition forces in the east outside the city of Ufa.

The bombing continued, and the four waves of aircraft bombed in turn, so that the figures of the Chinese Imperial fighters in the sky above the coalition positions never disappeared, and the bombed coalition positions were bombed beyond recognition.

With the fighters of the Air Force, the bombing position was advanced in the direction of Ufa City, and the Fifth Guards of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire, which had been waiting for a long time. A ground offensive on coalition positions began.

The Fifth Guards Army did not retain any strength, and as soon as it came up, it sent out the armored division and launched a surprise attack on the positions of the coalition forces with the strongest force, and the infantry division of the Fifth Guards Army also sent a large number of infantry. Follow the tank group to launch an attack and carry out coordinated operations, while there are some fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire in the sky. Hovering over the forward positions of the coalition forces, providing air cover for the attacking forces of the 5th Guards on the ground.

After a wild bombardment. The forward positions of the coalition forces were very badly damaged, but the losses of the coalition personnel were not large. After all, the officers and men of the coalition forces are not stupid, and they will not stand up to the bombardment on the position, and when the Chinese Imperial fighters bombed, the officers and men of the coalition forces hid in the air-raid shelters above the positions, and as long as the air-raid shelters were not directly hit by heavy aerial bombs, the officers and men of the coalition troops in the air-raid shelters avoided the bombardment of the hail-like aerial bombs.

When the attack force of the Fifth Guards Army attacked, the Allied soldiers hiding in the dugouts immediately rushed out of the dugouts and into the dilapidated trenches, led by officers.

"Quick! Fast! Fast! Immediately enter the position, and the enemy is coming! ”

"Pull the anti-defense guns to the gun position! Add up the heavy machine guns and hurry! ”

"Bring the grenades, and some bullets!"

"Mortars hurry up and fire at the enemy, oh - it's over, the positions of the mortars have been hit by bombs from aircraft!"

"Sir! Sir! Medic, medics, here's a major wounded! ”

"Anti-aircraft machine guns! Where are the anti-aircraft machine guns? Hurry up and fire at the planes in the sky, oh - oh God, the whole sky is the warplanes of the Chinese Empire! ”

When the attack force of the Fifth Guards Army was gradually approaching the forward positions of the coalition forces, the officers and men of the coalition troops who came out of the air-raid shelters on the positions were almost in a mess, and if there were not a number of improved Yellow Sparrow fighters and improved Blue Eagle bombers in the sky to launch a suppressive attack on the forward positions of the coalition forces, it would have been better; now there are troublesome Chinese Imperial fighters in the sky, and there are tank groups and infantry of the Chinese Empire gradually approaching on the ground, which has caused many coalition officers and men to inevitably panic.

At the forefront of the Allied positions to the east, there were 1 French infantry division, 1 Russian infantry division, and 1 German infantry division, arranged horizontally.

The coalition forces outside Ufa were divided into positions by the coalition commander-in-chief, Hindenburg, according to divisional units, each division had its own defensive area, and in order to unify the command, all these divisions were directly commanded by the coalition command, and the same was true for the coalition troops in Ufa, and the coalition headquarters would directly command the division-level units.

"It's up! Fire! Hurry up! The anti-aircraft gun aims at the front tank! In the trench at the forefront, a French lieutenant company commander saw that the attack force of the Chinese Empire was less than 300 meters away from his position, and shouted loudly to the French officers and soldiers of his company in the trench.

The officers and men of the coalition who immediately entered the front-line trenches fired a dense array of bullets and shells from the anti-aircraft artillery at the approaching Chinese Imperial attack force.

With a "boom-" sound, a Panther heavy tank of the Imperial Chinese Army was hit by a shell from a 61-mm German anti-aircraft gun, and the front tank armor as thick as 75 mm did not block the 61-mm armor-piercing shell, and the front armor of the Panther heavy tank was blown out of a hole, and a puff of smoke came out, and then it did not move.

And this German anti-aircraft gun, which had just made a meritorious service. Immediately after that, it was hit by a 100-kilogram aerial bomb, but not only was the anti-aircraft gun blown to pieces. The four German officers and soldiers who operated the anti-aircraft gun, as well as four or five German soldiers in the surrounding trenches. All of them were killed by this 100-kilogram aerial bomb, and several German soldiers were also hit by shrapnel from this aerial bomb and suffered serious injuries.

The fighting between the two sides was extremely fierce, with explosions and gunfire incessantly, thanks to the large-scale equipment of the new Allied anti-aircraft guns, many tanks of the Fifth Guards Army were destroyed, and even the thickest frontal armor of the Panther heavy tank could not stop the armor-piercing shells of the German 61-mm anti-aircraft guns, or the armor-piercing shells of the French 57-mm anti-aircraft guns. The progress of the attack force of the Fifth Guards Army was not smooth, without the cover of tanks, a simple infantry charge, in such a fierce confrontation, it was difficult to have an effect, and even if it rushed to the position of the coalition army, the losses would be very large.

Zhao Shanwu, the commander of the Fifth Guards Army, who commanded the attack behind, saw that the attacking troops were blocked, and immediately said to the staff officers around him: "Order the mortars of all departments to immediately carry out intensive bombardment of the front-line coalition positions and contact the air force." Giving priority to attacking the coalition army's anti-aircraft artillery, I didn't expect that the coalition army had so many large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, even the frontal armor of our Panther heavy tank could penetrate it. ”

Then the front positions of the coalition forces were again plunged into more violent explosions, with air force fighters and hundreds of mortars of the Fifth Guard. A large number of aerial bombs and mortar shells were poured here in a short time.

After this heavy bombardment and artillery bombardment, the attacking forces of the Fifth Guards finally rushed to the forefront of the coalition forces, first those guarded by the Russian infantry division. Then there were the forward positions guarded by the French Infantry Division, and finally the forward positions guarded by the German Infantry Division were also rushed up by the attacking forces of the Fifth Guards. However, dozens of tanks and armored vehicles had already been destroyed in front of the coalition positions. More were the officers and men of the Fifth Guards who fell to the ground silently, and thousands of them fell on the way to the charge.

The remnants of the coalition officers and men on the forward position were very brave and engaged in a hand-to-hand battle with the officers and men of the Fifth Guards who attacked the position, but they were quickly wiped out by the superior Fifth Guards Army, and the attacking troops of the Fifth Guards continued to attack the coalition positions behind.

The coalition defense is very tenacious, and there are even repeated battles for many positions, you must know that this is the daytime, the coalition forces are fighting for the lost positions, but they have to attack with hail aerial bombs on their heads, but that's it, the coalition forces still continue to launch small-scale counter-charges, so that the Fifth Guards Army is very slow to advance, and the losses are also very large, until more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the 12th, the attack force of the Fifth Guards Army, to the eastern position of the coalition forces outside the city of Ufa advanced less than 1 kilometer.

The depth of the entire eastern position of the coalition forces outside the city of Ufa has reached 15 kilometers, and according to the speed of the advance of the Fifth Guards Army, it will take half a month to attack under the city of Ufa, not counting the fact that the coalition forces will launch a large-scale counterattack at night, and the positions occupied during the day may not all be maintained, and if they are not able to do it during the day the next day, they will have to attack the positions of the coalition forces that have been occupied yesterday.

At the headquarters of the coalition forces in the city of Ufa, the army commanders of seven countries are here, directing the troops of the front-line countries to resist the fierce attacks of the Chinese imperial army through field telephones and radio.

A German lieutenant colonel staff officer walked into the headquarters at this time and shouted: "Report! The Austro-Hungarian division commander had already been taken outside the headquarters. ”

Hearing the words of the German lieutenant colonel's staff officer, the Austro-Hungarian Army General Gloria in the command had a gloomy face, and the army commanders of several countries looked at Gloria's face and did not speak.

The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, German Army General Hindenburg, said in a deep voice: "Bring this bastard in!" ”

Then the German lieutenant colonel staff officer turned his head and shouted outside: "Bring it in!" ”

2 soldiers wearing German army uniforms, escorting 1 Austro-Hungarian army major general walked in, this gloomy Austro-Hungarian army major general, seeing the Austro-Hungarian army general Gloria, his eyes lit up, as if he saw a life-saving straw, and shouted urgently: "General Gloria, it's not that our division didn't hold its ground, but it was the army of the Chinese Empire, the attack was too fierce, and there were Chinese Imperial fighters in the sky who kept bombing our division's position, which made our division suffer very big losses, I had to order the troops to retreat temporarily. ”

Gloria said angrily: "General Doloreske, how did I explain to you before the battle, without the retreat order from the coalition command, even if there is only one person left in the entire division, you have to hold the position for me, and what are you doing now?" An elite infantry division of more than 10,000 people, facing the Chinese Imperial Army attacking your position, didn't even carry it for half an hour, and lost a large area of position, how did you become the division commander! You have disgraced our Austro-Crarian Army! ”

The major general of the Austro-Hungarian Army named Doloreske defended himself and said: "It's not that I don't want to hold the position, but in the face of the attack of the Chinese Empire's land and air coordination, our position can't hold at all, and there are already many divisions in front of us whose positions have been captured by the troops of the Chinese Empire." ”

At this time, Hindenburg said: "This Doloresk general, so far, our coalition army has 10 divisions of the positions occupied, in addition to your division, the troops of the other 9 divisions, all rely on the fortifications on the positions, stubbornly blocking the pace of the advance of the Chinese Imperial Army, many positions have staged repeated battles, until receiving the order from the headquarters, these infantry divisions guarding the positions will withdraw backwards, and even after some infantry divisions are withdrawn, there are less than 1,000 people, and these 9 divisions have 4 division commanders, Killed in the battle to hold their positions, 3 division commanders were seriously wounded. ”

French Army General Joyles followed with an angry voice: "Our command continues to send reinforcements to the frontline positions to support, and so far 6 divisions of support troops have been dispatched, and we are just about to send reinforcements to your division's position, but your position is lost, and no division will be like your division, in the face of the attack of the Chinese Imperial Army, it is almost a touch of collapse!" Ladies and gentlemen, I propose that this General Doloresk be subject to military law, otherwise if the commanders of the infantry divisions of other countries are like him, how can we hold the city of Ufa! ”

The face of the Austro-Hungarian Army General Gloria was even more ugly, although Doloreske did not obey the order, he privately led the troops to withdraw from the position, Glorea was also very angry, and wanted to take out a pistol to kill Doloreske, but this was their Austro-Hungarian Army Major General, Gloria did not want to enforce any military law on Doloreske!
