Chapter 489: Squad Leader, Look!

readx; However, at the same time when Zhukov was full of confidence and wanted to take the initiative through this infighting of Army Group North, trying to give Army Group North a heavy hammer. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The headquarters of the Northern Army Group in Jinxi was also not idle, the so-called infighting did exist, but it was a big or small thing, originally if the Soviet army came to attack at this time, then the troops would inevitably encounter a low ebb because of low morale, and even lose the land they occupied before.

But now, they don't have to worry about these problems at all, Su Dao's letter basically restored the fighting spirit of the Northern Army Group, although it failed to reach its peak, but it was still no problem to hold the offensive of the Soviet army.

If it's organized properly, maybe they'll have a chance to fight back, in short, everything is good, and the world is not as tragic as you think.

Counterattack? This word soon sounded in the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the Northern Group Army, but it was only a short question, and they were soon full of confidence.

After dispelling the barrier between friendly troops from the depths of their hearts, they suddenly found that the world was so beautiful, and the surrounding area was full of their friendly troops, whether it was their own army or other group armies, no matter when, as long as there were friendly troops around, they dared to organize and launch a large-scale battle.

It has to be said that after this incident, although it brought a certain amount of trouble to Army Group North, this trouble did not last long, and was soon replaced by unity, and the current unity is far from being comparable to the previous unity.

Although it has not yet reached its peak, it has already begun to take shape, and it only needs to be precipitated for a period of time, and the combat effectiveness of the Northern Army Group will inevitably be raised to a higher level.

At this time, the forces on the offensive line were also at their peak, and the total strength of Army Group North was about the same as at the beginning of the war.

The two new armies have been transferred, and the ban on the First Army has also been lifted, except for a small number of soldiers who have been confirmed to be infected with the virus, it has not had much impact on the First Army.

Now that the 1st, 5th, 9th, and 14th armies have entrenched in the entire offensive line, with a total of more than 3 million troops, plus the civilian [***] forces that have been seeking opportunities to attack in the Mongolian border areas, the scale is about 1.5 million, and it can be said that the troops that the northern army group can mobilize now are infinitely close to 5 million.

What about the Soviet Army? Zhukov swore that he made a plan for a counteroffensive and painted a bright future for his troops, but there was something Zhukov did not expect.

In addition to the lifting of the ban on the First Army, Zhukov also did not expect the arrival of the Tenth Army, because the Soviet scouts could not smoothly spy on the territory of Army Group North, and even if they did, it would be difficult to bring them back to the Soviet headquarters.

Therefore, the biggest problem facing Zhukov now is the backwardness of intelligence, just like when Zhukov was formulating a counteroffensive plan, the information he got was the information from a week ago, and at that time the First Army had not yet lifted the ban, and the Tenth Army was still on its way.

Although Zhukov guessed that the First Army might suddenly appear and made certain defensive measures, the Tenth Army disrupted Zhukov's deployment, and at the same time, there were civilian [***] teams eyeing the border, which Zhukov did not expect.

And how many troops did Zhukov have in his hands at this time? Including the newly recruited soldiers, the soldiers urgently transferred from the Western Front, and the remaining soldiers from the past, Zhukov's troops were nearly four million at full strength.

The four armies of the North Army Group are all organized according to the standard, which is also 3.32 million people, and excluding some miscellaneous command headquarters, hospitals, and a few other non-combat units, they will count 100,000 more than 100,000 people, so they also have 3.22 million combat troops.

It is important to know that the logistical baggage units are separate from the combat units, and they are under the unified command and management of the North Army Group Headquarters, and the troops at all levels are only responsible for receiving supplies, and nothing else needs to be bothered. The law that an army basically has one-third or one-half of its logistical strength does not work at all here in Army Group North.

Let's put aside the 1.5 million or so people's [***] troops for the time being, can the 4 million Soviet troops beat the 3.2 million Army Group North? The answer is obviously impossible, nearly a million of the four million Soviet troops are newly recruited soldiers, who have not undergone any militarized training at all, and so far only know how to shoot.

Therefore, the key to this battle is what is the strategic purpose of Army Group North, if it is to annihilate the Soviet army, then everything is easy to say, directly two army groups swing to that side, you can attack, and at the same time send the other two army groups around the rear to surround the Soviet army, just like the previous Battle of Irkutsk.

Then after the war, the Soviet army naturally did not have the ability to continue to resist, and Army Group North could also march forward with high spirits, raise its head and chest, and even advance the front for hundreds of miles without firing a single shot.

If you want to take this opportunity to knock Germany, or the Soviet Union, then you can't completely annihilate the Soviet army, at least let them get out alive, and let them truthfully report the situation here to Stalin, so that Stalin will be shocked by this.

The Germans have a handful of the Northern Army Group, as a Chinese, with a good traditional education, can there be less courtesy? Naturally, he couldn't, so now Liu Ling has two choices, either to annihilate the Soviet army directly, and then swagger to drive the army to the central and western areas of the Soviet Union, and work with the Germans to force the Soviet Union to surrender.

The Soviet Union, which lost its industrial base in the central part of the country, basically lost all its ability to resist, without any material supplies, even rifles and ammunition were a big problem, and no country could support it in this case.

Either annihilate a large part, let a small part go, and then reach a rapprochement with the Soviet Union through some other quarter, or cede land or reparations, in short, an armistice, and then what? If there is no then, let the Soviet Union and the Germans fight to the death.

Don't you like to stay and watch? Now that you've finished reading it, it's time for me to experience the feeling of watching it on the side, as the so-called courtesy is still exchanged, you look at me and everyone see, how good is this.

About a few tens of kilometers west of Lesosibilsk, there is a river that runs through the east and west, north to the Barents Sea, before Lesosibilsk was a north-south direction, here it was changed to an east-west direction, and then to Ust-Ilimsk after the re-routing to a north-south direction, passing through Bratsk, Cheremkhovo, Irkutsk and other places directly with Lake Baikal.

This river basically runs through the north and south continents of the Soviet Union, and it is also a relatively important river, but for the poor Northern Army Group, they did not find the name of this river, and they did not bother to change it in these places later, and the numbers marked out before became the new names of these rivers.

Because of the large length of this river, it is much longer than the Yangtze River and the Yellow River in China, so although the original name of this river was erased by Liu Ling, its number is very high, and on the entire map, this river is marked with a number of three.

At this time, in the south of River No. 3, a small force of twelve people skillfully shuttled through the jungle, and not far from them was a road that was not too small.

Because the Soviet Union is too large and has a large population, compared with such a large territory, it is slightly more average, and each person owns much more land than the Chinese, so far, many areas in the central and eastern regions are no-man's land.

One is that the central and eastern parts of the country are relatively remote, coupled with sparse population, inconvenient transportation, and not the economic center of the Soviet Union, so except for a railway that is a bit spectacular, the rest of the roads are basically sheep's intestine paths, and after a long time, they will naturally become roads.

As a wasteland, basically a place that no one wants to reclaim for thousands of years, trees are naturally indispensable plants, and these plants provide cover not only for the reconnaissance team of Army Group North, but also for the Soviet Red Army.

At least once these people got into the jungle, the aerial reconnaissance of Army Group North would lose its effect, so in addition to aerial reconnaissance, Army Group North would send hundreds of infantry squads to different positions every day to reconnoiter the enemy's situation.

As an infantry squad for reconnaissance, the wealthy Army Group North was not stingy at all, and all units were equipped with uniform equipment, two telescopes, a radio station, and a walkie-talkie before departure.

Of course, the communication distance of walkie-talkies is limited, this is mainly to facilitate them to contact some reconnaissance squads around them, and at the same time share intelligence or something, originally a radio station was enough, but for convenience, so they are also equipped with a walkie-talkie, anyway, it doesn't take much effort.

"Squad leader, look there!"

The reconnaissance squad was resting, and soon, a soldier discovered the situation ahead, and after a little probing with a telescope, he hurriedly reported the situation to the squad leader who was looking at the map.

Soon, only a few minutes later, Lin Yi saw the situation in front of him clearly, and his frowning brows finally relaxed, since returning to the Fifth Army, Lin Yi was not affected by the punishment above. On the contrary, he felt very lucky, after all, it was he who made the first move, and it was not he who received the most severe punishment.

After a few days of adjustment, Lin Yi led his original squad to start a reconnaissance mission, and after a rapid march of two days and one night, they had already walked more than 100 kilometers and were about to arrive at Lesosibilsk.

And the scene they discovered at this moment finally gave Lin Yi some confidence in his heart. The Soviets are massing in large numbers, outnumbering more than they had escaped before, and it is clear that reinforcements are already in place, so is it time to take the initiative to attack?
