"Where's the explosion?"

When several earth-shattering explosions reached this underground command center, Zhukov, who was buried there looking at the map of the Komsomolsk defense line, raised his head sharply.

This was an explosion that was much stronger than the explosion coming from the direction of Komsomolsk, and of course, what made him even more uncalm was that the entire command headquarters seemed to feel the tremors, and the experience of his years of military career told him that this explosion occurred in the command center or very close to it.

Could it be that the Chinese have discovered this? Sent a group of planes to bomb? There are still small infiltration forces sabotage.

"Woo woo woo ......"

Almost instantly, the underground command center, converted from a bomb shelter, went up with a high-pitched, maddening air raid siren.

"Report, we just had an attack, Gates 2 and 4 were blown down by explosives."

In the underground command center, including Marshal Zhukov and General Cherevchenko, as well as Lieutenant General Aubrey, the top liaison officer of the US military command in the Soviet Army, all stopped their work or discussions.

The guards armed with ** sand submachine guns quickly rushed in and stood in the improvised hall of the command center, guarding the commanders.

"Report Comrade Zhukov, Comrade Cherevchenko. I am Colonel Pavlov, the head of the Guards Regiment of the command center, and just now a small group of enemy infiltration units attacked our exits 2 and 4. ”

Pavlov, the head of the guard, was napping, and in his dream he was shaking his ass frantically with a Ukrainian beauty, but he didn't expect the violent explosion to wake him up, and then he jumped up in fright, hurriedly arranged defenses, found out the situation, and quickly came to defend these giants in the Far Eastern theater.

If he is not careful, as the head of the guard, if such an attack happens to the headquarters, he may be executed. But fortunately, since last night, the Chinese special forces have made a lot of trouble, but people have been psychologically prepared.

"Ports 2 and 4 were blown up? What weapons does the enemy use? Is there a search by troops? Zhukov asked a few questions in a serious tone, and without waiting for Pavlov's answer, he directly ordered: "Order the 394th Division to immediately form an encirclement on the periphery of the headquarters and search for the enemy who has infiltrated in." Comrade Pavlov, you immediately arrange for the soldiers to pursue. ”

"Yes! Comrade Zhukov. The enemy was blown up with a large-caliber bazooka, and the Chinese's bombs were so powerful that the hole collapsed. I have already lined up a battalion of soldiers to go carpet searching for the enemy. ”

Pavlov went to check the intensity of the explosion just now, but anyone who has been on the battlefield will understand that it was not a rocket that was blown up remotely, but a high-energy explosive directly exploded by someone with an explosive pack.

"How long will it take for Gates 2 and 4 to be excavated and reopened?" General Cherevchenko asked.

"Comrade Political Commissar, we lack heavy equipment, and if we rely on manpower, it will most likely take a day."

At this time, Pavlov had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell the truth.

"Well, let's go hunt for the enemy, pay attention to the vigilance of the command center, and be ready to cover the evacuation of the personnel of the command at any time." Cherevchenko did not delve into it either, and ordered directly.

After leaving behind a group of guards, Pavlov quickly went out with his troops, and a battalion sent out formed a long herringbone platoon near Ports 2 and 4 to search for the enemy.

"Comrade Zhukov, I think it's no longer safe here, we should arrange a transfer." Cherevchenko said solemnly to Zhukov that although he was a commissar, now Zhukov was the nominal supreme commander of the Allied forces in the Far East, and he was not comparable to him, the commissar of the Red Army. But he was not the kind of political commissar who only knew how to bring down the military chief in the ordinary sense, but stood with Zhukov.

"Now that the battle has reached a critical period, if we withdraw, it is bound to be impossible to contact and command the Komsomolsk defense line for several hours, and at that time, in the event of a major rout, or because of improper deployment, a large number of troops are surrounded, we cannot afford this responsibility.

There is a guard regiment here, a Red Army division on the periphery, and a large number of Red Army troops in front, and I will not easily withdraw unless it is the last moment. ”

At this time, Zhukov naturally could not go.

Because of the electromagnetic interference of the Chinese, the communications and command on the battlefield in the Far East were already chaotic, and if the command center was temporarily replaced, hundreds of thousands of Red Army troops on the Komsomolsk defense line would probably be completely buried in these few hours.

Although Zhukov understood that the situation was already extremely bad, especially since he was not moving, the Americans were too far away, and even the American air force was still on the way, and at this time, the Chinese armored group was already attacking Komsomolsk.

According to this situation, retreat is inevitable, where to retreat and when to withdraw is the biggest reason for Zhukov to stay, once nothing can be done, he will decisively order a retreat. He was the commander of the Allied Far Eastern Theater of Operations, a marshal of the Soviet Union, but he was also a marshal who commanded millions of Red officers and soldiers, and he was responsible not only for his country and his allies, but also for those soldiers.

Zhukov did not leave, and it was not easy for Cherevichko to go alone, after all, it was indeed relatively safe here, and it was impossible for the enemy's harassment to completely cross so many guards. However, he still insisted on transferring another regiment from the Red Army division on the periphery, but it would take about an hour to deploy it in place.

After making the corresponding deployment, Zhukov actually stayed in the underground command center, and he and the entire Soviet command center did not move.

His latest order was for Lieutenant General Aubrey, the top liaison officer of the US military command in the Soviet command, to contact the US command and ask for increased air support for the Komsomolsk defense line, and ordered the 45th Army Division and the 11th Panzer Division of the US Tenth Army, which were stationed only 150 kilometers from Komsomolsk, to support the Komsomolsk defense line. And I hope that Admiral Bradley will personally give an order to himself to quickly support the Soviet troops in Komsomolsk.

However, after the call was connected, Lieutenant General Aubrey only spoke a few words to Admiral Bradley and asked the messenger to call Zhukov to talk.

Zhukov had to emphasize the current battle again, especially emphasizing that this was not an ordinary attack, but a general attack launched by the Chinese, and if the Soviet troops on the main defense line of Komsomolsk did not receive timely support, he could only quickly order a retreat, thus losing the entire Komsomolsk defense line.

"Commander Zhukov, just now Lieutenant General Aubrey has explained to me the importance of support, and emphasized that the Chinese launched a general attack, not an ordinary attack.

I already understand that the Chinese intend to break through the defensive line, and what I have the right to do for you is to order the Eighth Air Force and the Ninth Air Force stationed in Yuben to increase air support for you, and in addition, three American divisions to deploy the Sheila Pass, 130 kilometers behind you, and at the same time order the support of the Yue army with the strictest orders.

If the situation continues to deteriorate, I agree with any preserving force. ”

After much deliberation, Bradley finally confessed to Zhukov.

Support from the U.S. military could only be contained in the air and a line of defense in the event of a retreat. Bradley was already well aware of the situation on the front, the Soviet army was likely to be unable to stop it, and if the army could not make a miracle, according to the current situation, the Chinese used at least 2 million troops.

If it weren't for the question of responsibility for the war, and even if the front line was American, Bradley would have given the order to retreat directly.

Now is no longer the time to condemn and punish Yue, who does not yet know how fierce the Chinese attack is.

However, as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Allied forces in the Far East and the supreme commander of the US forces in the Far East, Bradley still had to fulfill his responsibilities, and while ordering the rapid support of the ground forces and air forces of the Japanese army, he also sent separate telegrams to the emperor, the military headquarters, and the commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Army, Yamashita Fufumi, that if nothing could be done, an urgent retreat should be considered.

In the message, Bradley stressed, in particular, that if time is not available, the direction of retreat could only be to the more north-eastern part of the Far East, rather than to cross the sea.

Bradley's tone was unprecedentedly strong, he demanded that Yue himself immediately rescue, and at the same time prepare for the follow-up plan, once the Komsomolsk defense line fell, the first thing the Chinese did was to surround the living forces of the Allies, cut off the connection between the Yue army in the southern sea area and the American and Soviet forces, and he demanded that the Yue army must send a sufficient number of troops to rescue the Soviet army, and at the same time, prepare for the worst.

Admiral Bradley, who had just succeeded Patton as commander of the U.S. forces in the Far East, was extremely unlucky, although the Allies also had millions of troops in the Far East, the defenders were always weaker than the attackers, and the attackers could choose a point at will and concentrate their forces on the attack, while the defenders had to fortify everywhere.

Although there were millions of Allied troops in the Far East, the layout was too scattered, especially since the Japanese army and the Soviet army were completely two clusters. Although the number of Allied forces is large, but the Chinese also concentrated millions of troops, such a huge attack, by no means a long-term defensive war can be blocked, either victory or defeat, just as the Germans attacked the Soviet Union in the early days, the Soviet Union did not have any power to fight back, defeat, retreat, defeat again, retreat, until the city centered defense line was set up in the rear to stop the situation of unlimited defeat.

Bradley chose to mobilize both the Japanese army and the American army to set up a blocking line in the rear of the Soviet army. If he ordered several U.S. divisions to rescue the Komsomolsk defense line, where the situation was already deteriorating rapidly, it would be tantamount to sending the U.S. troops to death.

Invisible radio waves came and went over the belly of the Far East, and the army finally received an order from the military headquarters to speed up its march in the direction of Komsomolsk, however, they were soon blocked by a squadron of more than 800 tanks and four divisions.

Returning to the underground command center of the Soviet army, although the situation had deteriorated, Zhukov was still unwilling to retreat immediately, and he still needed an opportunity for the final order: the fall of Komsomolsk.

...... "Captain, the LTTE replied that there was no movement of the Soviet troops to evacuate, but now the Soviet troops in the brigade are searching for them, and if no action is taken, there will soon be an exchange of fire. ”

The captain of the Dragon's Tooth Special Squad, the commander of the operation, Colonel Luo Han, frowned slightly after hearing the report, Zhukov actually did not move, and it seemed that he could only implement the second plan.

"Inform the Tiger team that it is too late to delay, and immediately implement the third set of plans! Note that, as planned, our actions were signaled by their flares. ”

Rohan decisively gave the order.

"Yes!"

Luo Han continued to order: "Hengshan is responsible for detonating the bomb. Songshan was responsible for cutting off the power supply line of the enemy headquarters, Huashan was responsible for sniping, and the others acted with me. ”

"Yes!"

According to the plan, the first plan was to rob people halfway, using barricades, mines, bombs, rockets and other weapons to strike at the transferred enemy troops, not to capture the enemy alive, but to kill the opponent's commander to achieve the goal of decapitation.

The plan was based on the idea that the enemy would be alarmed by external attacks and explosions, like a rabbit that had been frightened, and evacuated in a panic to what it thought was safe.

This technique is most used by the Dragon's Tooth Squad in some of the small-scale decapitation operations on the battlefield.

Most commanders are greedy for life and fear death, and some of them are afraid that the command structure will be terminated and lead to a greater crisis, and the other side will immediately retreat as soon as the wind blows.

At this time, it was the best time to decapitate the troops, and the simple commander was sniped at the enemy from a distance by a few anti-materiel sniper rifles, that is, heavy sniper rifles ZJ-1 using armor-piercing bullets.

With the special bullet of this heavy anti-materiel sniper rifle, if the first plan is implemented, unless Zhukov and others leave in a heavy tank of the Soviet army, they are likely to be sniped or killed even if they leave in a tank armored vehicle. Valleys, mountain roads, bridges, railways, and even blowing down mountains, etc., there are too many ways to take out the decapitation target.

Of course, with a target like Zhukov, the guards are stronger, and the decapitation is naturally more difficult.

The second option is to storm the attack.

The third option is the preparatory plan, and if the first two plan cannot be implemented or fails, then the last plan is to use the last plan, using some very advanced or ruthless weapons. From some particularly advanced weapons and equipment, to poison gas bombs, and even small nuclear bombs that have been trained in training to detonate, they are all means of decapitation during combat.

It's just that looking at it now, Rohan thinks that the second plan can be completed.

The few people who got the order quickly went to set it up, and the bomb was planted in advance, maybe it was an abandoned tire, or it could be a camouflage stone, or whatever, a timed or remote-controlled explosion.

It's not difficult to cut the line.

In the general headquarters of the front line set up by the Soviet army here, the large generators working underground are likely to make noise to the officers, and in order to be quiet, the electricity is generated outside, and the generator room is more than 400 meters away from the above-ground exit of the command center. What the Soviets did not expect was that the general offensive of the Chinese was launched so quickly, and the decapitation troops of the Chinese came so quickly.

Beheading? Before that, the Soviets didn't even know that there was such a saying in the world that in the midst of thousands of troops, just a few people could play a role? Able to decapitate enemy commanders among thousands of people.

The emergence of a new method of warfare is stronger than the enemy's complete lack of awareness of prevention.

Soon, the Tiger Squad received the order, and after a short period of preparation, the Tiger Squad Leader, Lieutenant Colonel Huya, calmly ordered: "Action!!" ”

Rumble! Rumble! …… Violent explosions rang out from multiple directions, and a special flare burst into the sky.

Qingming Festival overtime is very busy, and I have to prepare to send my wife home, by the way to take marriage leave, the day after tomorrow will be updated after the arrival of the day after home will be very stable, just like the New Year, the Spring Festival has not been interrupted for seven days. The day before yesterday, on the 31st, there were more than 20,000, and I was tired, and all kinds of factors added up, so I'm sorry I haven't changed it in the past two days.
