Chapter 453: Discovered by Accident

readx; Although the Soviet Red Army rushed more violently, it belonged to the type of blind rushing, and until now it has not even seen the shadow of the enemy and shouted to charge, and it shouted so loudly, as if the enemy did not know that they were coming. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

'Da Da Da ......'

The sound of artillery continued, and the bombardment lasted for about half an hour, leaving a lot of residual broken arms on the ground, and the artillery after receiving the order to stop the artillery attack did not fire a single shell, followed by the sound of machine guns.

The area where the Soviets were located immediately became a hail of bullets, and it was not clear where the bullets were coming from, and when they found that the enemy was on the left and just wanted to attack to the left, they found that there seemed to be bullets flying from the right.

For a time, the entire Soviet army was in a mess, although the various departments were not cut off, they were no longer able to organize an effective attack, and the war was over before it began.

It can be said that the Soviet army has not seen the shadow of the enemy, they have been defeated, a simple battle, the Soviet army lost tens of thousands of soldiers, although in the million people this is nothing at all, but you know, it is only less than half an hour now, and the Soviet defense line is constantly compressed.

The Panzer Corps is also rapidly interspersed and cut, separating small groups of enemy forces, and at the same time quickly annihilating them with the cooperation of armored infantry divisions.

The tanks of the Soviet army have become ornaments, in front of the T34/85, the original version of the T34 of the Soviet army is simply vulnerable, one cannon at a time, and even Bazooka can kill a tank at a time if he is lucky.

If it weren't for the fact that the First Army mainly wanted to fight a mobile war this time, these Soviet soldiers would have died even worse, and then all the Katyusha would have been pulled up, and a group of Soviet troops would have been surrounded by Katyusha for a while, and the effect would be obvious, and they would have to spend less effort.

It's just that in order to conceal before, Katyusha didn't bring much, and more Katyusha remained on the frontal battlefield, that is, on the side of the reserve army.

Jinxi, inside the headquarters of Army Group North.

"How's it going?"

Liu Ling hurriedly asked after seeing the communications staff officer come in.

The Soviet Red Army suddenly launched a counterattack, this matter is too weird, although Liu Ling roughly guessed the intention of the Soviet army, but he is still not sure, Liu Ling also knows a little about Zhukov, knowing that he will not make such a suicide attack

Even if it is a suicide attack, then there is an intention, or it is to confuse the enemy, and want to exchange this sacrifice for greater benefits. There is no free lunch in the world, and Liu Ling is still very clear about this truth

"The First Army has already eaten up part of the enemy in the encirclement, but the Air Force reconnaissance has found that a large number of Soviet troops are coming on the periphery of the First Army, and it is expected that it will be able to meet the First Army in half a day at most"

The communications staff reported

"Oh? Did you find heavy fire? ”

Liu Ling frowned, this situation is really abnormal, nearly a million troops have come, they have been surrounded by them, and even some of them have been eliminated, it stands to reason that Zhukov should not be unaware of the situation here, at this time he should find a way to let the troops inside break through

Their battle plan has been leaked, the first batch of troops can be surrounded, then the second batch of reinforcements is also very likely to be surrounded, Zhukov obviously would not have thought of this, so why did he send troops here?

"Only a part of the tanks were found, the rest were infantry"

The communications staff officer continued

"Let the Air Force come and test it"

Liu Ling immediately ordered, abnormal, it was too abnormal

The heavy firepower of the support troops turned out to be worse than the heavy firepower of the first troops, what use can these people have when they come? Although Zhukov's troops were numerous, they were not many, and at best they were about the same number as Army Group North

But his troops are lacking in equipment, and even lack of training, and they are not at the same level as the Northern Army Group.

'Boom'

A shell directly penetrated the armor of a Soviet T34, and the shell inside was also detonated, and the Soviet infantry hiding behind the tank was also affected.

The course of this war has exceeded their imagination, although the defense of Moscow was fought very hard, but it is not without a chance of victory, but now? After fighting for a long time, they could not see each other's figures, and a powerful firepower network blocked them on both sides, and the Soviet Red Army could only watch their shadows from a distance, and was never able to fight them in close combat.

The Soviet Red Army, which lacked equipment, could only achieve a certain advantage in close combat, and at a distance, they could only rely on human life to close the distance between them and their opponents, and then kill their opponents as much as possible in close combat, snatching their weapons to continue the battle.

This seems to have become the basic principle of the Soviet army's warfare, although there are heavy casualties every time, but in the end it still succeeds, and now? There was nothing, so many people died, and after fighting for so long, it was still the same result, the battle line was not advanced an inch, and the enemy was not killed much.

The spirit of the Soviet soldier has gradually collapsed, even a person who is not afraid of death, after seeing so much death and hopeless fighting, who can guarantee that he will still be the same as before?

As long as people have weaknesses, as long as they are people, they will be afraid of death, this is the eternal truth, recognize that the fear of death in the heart cannot be changed.

"Mom! Mom! ”

A Soviet soldier was lying on the ground, holding his calf, a large amount of blood flowed out of the stump, his mouth kept calling his mother, his eyes became more and more blurred, but there were thousands of unwillingness in his blurred eyes, he wanted to live, he didn't want to die, although he was very heroic before, but at the moment of death, he was finally afraid.

With the current medical conditions of the Soviet army, there is no hope of saving him at all, even if it is placed on the side of the Northern Army Group, it will not be able to save him, he has lost too much blood, the blood in his body is basically running dry, and the wound is so big, it is very troublesome to deal with, and it will take time, and he will not be able to survive at that time.

If he had been treated by the Northern Army Group when his leg had just been broken, maybe he would still have any hope of surviving, but now, the Great Luo Immortal would not be able to save him.

On the bloody battlefield, a whole or mutilated corpse lies there quietly, the sound of guns seems to be sending them to the end, and at the same time bringing them some companions, the whole battlefield is like hell, people will feel terrible after seeing it.

A decades later, a retired veteran of Army Group North wrote in his memoirs. And about the battle of Irkutsk, which took place, is also the battle that appears the most often in the memoirs of retired veterans of the First Army.

I don't know how much damage that war caused me, but I knew that I had to do it at the time, and there would inevitably be casualties in the war between the two countries, and the situation at that time was either him dead or I lived, and I had no choice. Moreover, Tsarist Russia has invaded so much of our territory, and they have no intention of returning it, and those lost territories must be recovered by our own hands. ’

At the end of the battle, the weather was already a little hot, and the whole battlefield was covered with Soviet corpses, because of the time, those Soviet corpses that had been dead for less than a week began to rot and stink, and in the later part of the battle, the whole battlefield was full of corpse smell, and many comrades could not eat, or even drink water. ’

Every day as soon as I close my eyes, it is what happened there, on the battlefield a Soviet soldier fell, a corpse lying on the ground irregularly, after retiring from the army, I chose to return to my hometown, but my hometown is already the territory of another country, but I don't know whether it is our territory or not, because the national territory is sacred and majestic, and foreign troops are not allowed to garrison, but in my hometown, there are garrisons of our country, because there are too many of our comrades-in-arms sleeping there, The garrison is there to protect them.

Two years after returning to my hometown, I chose to move to Irkutsk, and after that, I would walk around the battlefield every day, and when I saw some corpses that were naked outside the land, I would add a few handfuls of earth, because after that battle, most of the inhabitants of Irkutsk chose to move to other places, and until the decades after the war, the number of inhabitants here did not exceed 10,000, and this is the damage that battle caused to the city. ’

There are many, many records about this battle, whether it is the winner or the loser, they did not express much dissatisfaction with each other, or whatever, many memoirs record the horror of that battle, but one thing, after this battle, Stalin's position in the Soviet Red Army has begun to waver, and the junior soldiers have begun to trust Stalin less.

The current Soviet Union is an alliance of more than a dozen countries, and these soldiers are also from different countries, some people worship Stalin, and some people are not interested in it, but they dare not say it.

But after this battle, Stalin's position had indeed begun to waver, and even Marshal Zhukov, who was extremely loyal to the Soviet Union, began to complain against Stalin, and even rebelled. According to insiders, Zhukov's dissatisfaction with Stalin mainly stemmed from Stalin's rejection of Zhukov's proposal and ordered Zhukov to take the initiative to attack.

And this battle also brought great damage to Zhukov, Zhukov not only lost an arm, but also psychological damage, millions of people were killed, which is an unprecedented record in the history of the Soviet army, setting a record for the largest number of casualties in a single battle since the formation of the Soviet Union.

Back at the end of March 1942, the air force units of Army Group North that had received an order to intercept the Soviet army to support the army dispatched several thousand warplanes, and they flew toward the Soviet support unit with all kinds of ammunition.

But to get there, they had to pass over Irkutsk, and thousands of fighters could not pass one by one, so many of them had to be extended.

**Piloting his Hellcat fighter to follow his regiment through the sky over Slyudyanka to fly to the destination, and ** is flying in the outermost fighter, the boredom of the road makes him want to doze off, because the current war is too boring for them, and before the war happens, they can't lift the slightest spirit.

In the past, because there was no airborne radar, they had to carefully observe whether there were enemy planes around during the flight, but now they don't need to pay attention to this, and once they find an unknown group of aircraft, those fighters equipped with airborne radar will alert them.

**Bored glance towards the ground, because the plane flight altitude is not high, and even without passing through any equipment, you can see the house on the ground, but this look,** found something that he couldn't believe.

Soviet troops? (To be continued.) )
