The artillery fire swept like a hurricane across the Sareysik Atyrau sands on the north bank of the Ili River, and in an instant the Soviet army's marching column was covered by high and low columns of blue-black smoke, the scale of this shelling was really not large, at most 180 105mm and 150mm first-class cannons were bombarding, but it came very suddenly, completely beyond the expectations of this Soviet army on the march, you must know that they are not a lone deep force, there are friendly troops on the left and right sides, He also scattered the cavalry troops more than ten kilometers ahead, and now they are being shelled without warning!

However, the reaction of the Soviet troops who were suddenly attacked was also very timely, and the troops almost immediately deployed to the left and right flanks, while dodging the shelling, while beginning to set up defensive positions, the cannons towed by mules, horses and trucks at the rear of the queue also quickly set up positions, and one by one 152mm and 122mm howitzers were lined up on the sand, and one by one the shiny shells were unloaded from the baggage vehicles and neatly stacked near the cannons

Just as the Soviet artillery was about to fire back, there was a sudden roar of motors from far and near in the air, and the black-pressed Chinese aircraft group roared towards the Soviet front! Aerial bombs of 25 kg or 50 kg were constantly and accurately dropped on the Soviet artillery positions that had just been set up, and immediately flesh and blood flew sideways! The steel barrels of dozens of Soviet howitzers were instantly twisted into piles of scrap iron!

"The 188th Division of the Red Army was attacked by the Chinese army!"

The alarm signal was immediately sent through the guò radio, and a large-scale surprise attack by the Chinese army may be just around the corner! However, the 188th Division of the 47th Army of the Soviet Army, which was raided, was also a well-trained elite, and soon put on a defensive posture to build trenches, of course, it was too late, and all the infantry were desperately digging promenades. Nagant rifles or Tokarev submachine guns were erected, M1910 heavy machine guns and DP light machine guns also entered the firing position, and some 37mm and 45mm anti-tank guns were pushed up, braving the fire of the Chinese army, the Soviet army quickly launched a defensive formation, in addition to the 188th division, several nearby Soviet infantry divisions also urgently approached, ready to support the operation of the 188th division, or to launch a counterattack against the Chinese surprise troops, and the commander of the Ili River cluster of the Soviet army Baranov sent an urgent telegram, Order the 47th Army to drag down the enemy in front of you at any cost, and create a good opportunity for the Ili River cluster to encircle and annihilate the enemy army on this road!

Just when this group of Soviet troops was full of confidence and was ready to give the Chinese National Defense Forces a dismount on the north bank of the Ili River, the 188th Division, which had just launched its defense, suddenly heard a huge roar of internal combustion engine motors!

"Tanks! It is the ...... of the tank cluster of the Chinese army"

Bagramyan, the commander of the Soviet 47th Army, who had just arrived at the position of the 188th Division to inspect the military situation, had just walked up to a small mound when he heard the staff officer shouting next to him, he hurriedly picked up the binoculars, and looked in the direction of the staff officer's finger, and saw a long-barreled artillery with a black hole appeared in the eyepiece, and then the steel giant painted in the color of earthy yellow spewed faint white smoke and roared slowly towards the Soviet front!

This is the Chinese Hunter tank destroyer!

Bagramian was a little dazed, threw the binoculars to the orderly beside him, staring at the front with wide eyes, at least hundreds of pursuers and Type 31 tanks on a long front, at least hundreds of pursuers and Type 31 tanks showed their figures, and around each tank, a large number of Chinese infantry wearing camouflage uniforms and carrying automatic rifles were accompanied, and they pressed towards the Soviet battle line that had no fortifications to rely on!

Bagramyan finally came to his senses, turned his head and shouted at the staff officer beside him: "The armored assault of the Chinese army!" Hurry up and report to Comrade Baranov that the armored group of the Chinese army is launching an assault on the front of the 188th Division! They used at least 500 tanks and 60,000 troops, and the 188th Division could not resist for long! The 47th Army needs further instructions! ”

After saying these words, this famous Soviet general, who was famous for his strategy in World War II in history, ran to several Gas's half-tracked armored command vehicles parked under the hillside without saying a word......

In front of him is a wedge-shaped attack formation composed of more than 400 Chaser tank destroyers and Type 31 tanks owned by the 1st, 4th, 5th and 6th Armored Cavalry Divisions. The armored personnel carriers carried on the infantry formed an artillery position at the end of the more than 100 self-propelled guns belonging to the 2nd Panzer Cavalry Corps, which were still operating, and they were the ones who had just launched a rapid artillery attack

Another roar of motors came from the air, Xu Haoyu looked up at the sky, and a group of J-2 fighters and attack-2 attack planes painted in silver-white and black were whizzing overhead, whether it was a fighter or an attack aircraft, they were carrying 25 kg and 50 kg of high-explosive bombs to provide support for the attack of the armored forces! Xu Haoyu laughed a little smugly, hundreds of artillery pieces, hundreds of tanks, hundreds of planes and 50,000 offensive troops...... Last year on the Aloresa River, the Chinese Defense Forces used a similar lineup to fight 8 armored assaults, and forcibly cut 500,000 Soviet troops into two sections!

But today, his task is not so heavy, he only needs to defeat the Soviet infantry division in front of him! This is the "short assault" tactic that Commander-in-Chief Bai has just come up with, using the amazing assault ability and rapid reaction ability of the armored forces to launch an attack in the shortest possible time to crush the opponent and then retreat! This style of play is a bit like a lion's attack on a herd, a surprising number of cows can trample a few lions into a pulp, but the lion can always make a difference from the battle against the herd!

The shells rumbled and exploded in the assault formation of the Chinese armored group, some were fired by 76.2mm field guns, some were fired by 37mm and 45mm anti-tank guns, and some were fired by 80mm and 120mm mortars

However, the Chinese armored group did not blindly rush, but stopped abruptly about 1,500 meters in front of the Soviet battle line, using their 75mm guns, 45mm guns and machine guns to suppress the Soviet firing points, and the main guns and machine guns of the tanks and machine guns spat tongues of fire, sweeping the entire battle line, and the Soviet troops on the position were flying with flesh and blood! One shell after another accurately hit the machine gun and anti-tank gun fire point, turning every qiē there into a pile of fragments, the Soviet infantry crawling in the foxhole could not raise their heads at all, and the Chinese infantry accompanying the advance of the chariot launched a charge, and killed the Soviet troops who were still desperately resisting one by one in the foxhole with Type 31 automatic rifles and grenades.

Some loyal GCIST fighters began to fulfill their sacred promise to dedicate their entire lives to the most magnificent cause in the world, shouting revolutionary slogans, holding anti-tank grenade launchers and anti-tank grenades, wanting to die with the Chinese tanks, and finally they were either knocked down by the tank's machine guns or beaten into blood gourds by the automatic rifles of the Chinese infantry, and no one had the opportunity to use the anti-tank weapons in their hands! Now in this battle, the Chinese army not only has an absolute advantage in armor and firepower, but also can form a huge advantage of at least 3 to 1 in terms of numbers! Even if all the Soviet officers and soldiers were Soviets under the red flag, they let out a desperate wail when they saw the overwhelmingly superior enemy armored clusters roaring and rushing towards them

The thin front lasted less than 20 minutes before it completely collapsed, and the Soviet soldiers who had lost their organization in confusion finally lost the courage to fight again, and threw down their rifles and submachine guns one after another and turned around and fled! Machine gun bullets and tank shells chase their ass, drop them one by one, and then run over the tracks! The officers and soldiers of the 187th Division of the Soviet Army, who rushed to the battlefield one after another, saw the scene of the Chinese armored cluster crushing the friendly troops, and before they could recover from the shock, the same disaster fell on them, these infantry who had no fortifications to rely on in the flat sand were certainly not the opponents of the Chinese armored forces armed to the teeth, their resistance was quickly crushed by the tanks, and soon only a rout remained! Then it was the turn of the 189th Soviet Division that came to reinforce and was crushed by the rout of the 187th Division and the armored cluster of the Chinese Army!

Looking at the good news sent in like a stream of water in the temporary command post in the rear, Liao Lei, commander of the 2nd Armored Group Army, suppressed his excitement and picked up the phone to report to Bai Chongxi in the Communist Youth League City: "Chief Bai, the assault of our 2nd Armored Cavalry Corps has won a complete victory, and 3 Soviet infantry divisions have been defeated!" The Soviet army cluster in the north has stopped advancing and is digging fortifications on the spot to set up defenses, and we have blocked them with 500,000 people with 50,000 men! What a miracle! ”

Bai Chongxi's excited voice came from the other end of the phone: "Okay! Well fought, Yan Nong, after this battle is over, I will personally ask for an attack for you in front of the Prime Minister, and a general rank will have it no matter what! The voice paused slightly: "But now, you can't fight anymore, after all, the opponent has 500,000 if you are entangled, it will be worth the loss!" Now I order the 2nd Panzer Cavalry Corps to immediately withdraw to the Komsomolskaya City, rest for a day, and then attack northward, and teach a hard lesson to the Soviet Alelesa River cluster in the south! ”

……

"Sir! Army Group Northern fought a victory on the north bank of the Ili River, using the 2nd Panzer Cavalry Corps to defeat three Soviet infantry divisions and annihilate more than 15,000 enemies! Now the 2nd Panzer Cavalry Corps has safely withdrawn from the battlefield and is moving towards the Komsomol City, and it is estimated that it can be reached this evening"

Chang Ruiqing was having lunch in the defense minister's office with Wang Junhao and Zhao Fatzi, and when he heard the news brought by Chen Xinrui, he stood up suddenly: "Okay, among the millions of troops (obviously only 500,000), take the head of the general (not even a major general was killed)!" The 2nd Armored Cavalry Corps is worthy of being the strongest force in our national defense army! Ok, good, good! After this battle is fought, the Soviet army will not dare to drive long and large, and it is not good to move slowly to the city of the Communist Youth League step by step, and it will not take ten days and half a month to think of self-examination and Lin, and the situation in the northwest seems to be completely opened! ”

Wang Junhao also put down his rice bowl, stroked his palms and laughed: "In this way, Xia Xucang's pressure will be much lighter, there is no need to rush to fight slowly, the Soviet army on the front line of Jaisangpo Ara Lake has lost the opportunity, and now there is no way to force us to attack, I want to see what other tricks Frunze can use!" ”

Zhao Fatzi said unhurriedly while eating: "Frunze can still escape, his 1.7 million army has only lost 3 or 40,000, and the main force is still there...... If I were Frunze, I would choose to give up withdrawing my troops from the battlefield, relying on Lake Balkhash and the Tien Shan Mountains and the West Pamir Plateau to carry out defense, it is really not possible, and we can also destroy the railway, withdraw to the Aral Sea and the Karaganda line, we are subject to the logistics line, it is difficult for the large corps to go too deep into the enemy's territory, as long as Frunze's main force is still there, he can continue to maintain the situation in Central Asia, as for the decisive victory or defeat, it is not in Central Asia that can be decided, I think his task is just not to let the Central Asian battlefield become a burden that drags down the overall situation."

"Will Frunze run away?" Chang Ruiqing walked to the edge of the map hanging on the wall of the office and stared at it for a while: "Youlin's analysis is good, the Soviet army has lost the opportunity in the two battlefields of Northern Xinjiang and Outer Xinjiang, and is passive, if you insist on fighting, you still can't escape the fiasco in the end, it's better to get away as soon as possible, is there any latest news from the Polish side?" ”

"No, but the German offensive seems to have slowed down, they hit Poznan last night, but there is no sign of attacking the Poznan fortress" Chen Xinrui turned her eyes and glanced at Chang Ruiqing and other three big men, she graduated from the sixth phase of the Central Military Academy and the Army University, although she is a woman, but she also has her own revenge, for this reason she doesn't mind going to Chang Ruiqing's bed, but she is not willing to be the head of the Chang Da Prime Minister's follower (adjutant general) for the rest of her life, so she will seize every opportunity to show her military talent:

"At present, the German army has made a salient in the desert in the center of the Soviet Trotsky defense line, in the area of Vitukoshiqiang Poznan, because of the existence of this salient, the Trotsky defense line is in danger of being cut off by the German army at any time, so the subordinates believe that the Soviet army will not tolerate such a situation for a long time, once the German offensive stops, the Soviet army will definitely concentrate its forces to counterattack the German army in this Poznan salient, and this will be a million-man battle, because the German army's tactics have always been to consume the Soviet army's vital strength, Therefore, they will not continue to attack, but will hold on to the Poznan salient and wait for the Soviets to attack...... The focus of the Soviet army's military operations in the next stage must also be the Poznan Bulge Campaign, and for this reason, the Soviet high command will definitely try its best to transfer armored forces, and it is very likely that several tank armies of the Central Asian Front will be transferred away, so that Frunze will have a reason to abandon the Battle of the Three Central Asian Frontiers."

Explain it this way...... There is some truth in this" Chang Ruiqing glanced at the adjutant of this big beauty, and nodded slightly, "Xinrui, do you have anything to mention?" ”

Chen Xinrui smiled, picked up a baton and pointed to the map: "Sir, the department thinks that our biggest enemy in the northwest is not Frunze's 1.7 million army, but the logistics are not smooth, otherwise the Northwest Front Army will not only have one armored cavalry army and one armored army now...... And if we want to seize the Soviet Union and Central Asia, and turn this territory into a part of the Great China Federation forever, we still can't do without adequate and reliable logistics support, so the most urgent thing at present is not to meet as many Soviet troops as possible, but to start the construction of the double-track project of the Lanjiang Railway and the railway line from Yining to Almaty

As for Frunze's army of more than 1 million, the ministry thinks that it can annihilate as much as it wants, and there is no need to let the Northwest Front suffer too many losses in order to destroy them, after all, for a long time in the future, the logistics of the Northwest Front will be much more difficult than that of the Soviet Central Asian Front! Now, even if we play a 1-2 or 1-3 exchange ratio, it's not necessarily a good deal for us."

"The supply of the Northwest Front is not necessarily that difficult, is it?" Wang Junhao frowned and glanced at this somewhat talkative woman

Zhao Zhen laughed and said: "Xiaorui's words are good, if we want to level the northwest, we have to build roads, roads...... It is necessary to transport materials, machines or something, so that it will occupy a considerable part of the capacity of the Lanjiang Railway, and now the Lanjiang Railway is a one-way transportation, this situation can not be maintained for long, and when the battle of the three Xinjiangs in Central Asia is over, the logistics of the Northwest Front Army will be tight for a while" Saying that, he smiled at Chang Ruiqing and said: "Brother Yaoru, I think this girl is good, and she has a bit of military talent...... Our Central Military Academy has been recruiting girls since the 12th year of the Republic of China, and she is probably the only one who is really likely to become a female general so far, so why don't you put her in the army and experience it again? ”

Chang Ruiqing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and looked back at his adjutant, only to see that there were four or five points of eagerness on her face, and four or five points of reluctance He smiled faintly and said: "Xiaorui has been in the team before, and now it is good to go down to experience it again, so arrange for her to go to the newly established Central Guard Division as the deputy chief of staff, she was a member of the Red Brigade Youth League as early as 1917, and she graduated from the sixth phase of the Central Military Academy, and also went to the Army University, if it is a man to be the chief of staff of the division, it is no problem, but it is a pity that she is a woman."
