744 Raid XI Jungle battles in Siberia

Djohle's phrase "Defend the Russian Motherland!" ", shattered the last psychological line of defense of Lieutenant General Barnov, the commander of the Soviet 21st Army was completely desperate. So at two o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, he finally came out of the underground bunker, led the remaining 52,000 Red officers and soldiers and more than 5,000 people who were temporarily conscripted in the city of Borja, swore allegiance to the Russian Empress Anastasia I, and then accepted the position of commander of the 13th Army of the Russian Army and the title of Marquis.

At 3 p.m. on October 14, 1937, after paying the price of 4,500 officers and soldiers killed and wounded (including 2,400 White Russians and 2,100 Chinese National Defense Officers and Soldiers), 48 tanks (18 of which could be repaired and 30 completely destroyed), and 6 fighters (3 A-4A Thunderhawk dive bombers, 2 A-2A light dive bombers, and 1 BF-109 crashed due to mechanical failure on the return flight), The blue sky and white sun flag was finally planted on the top of the highest watchtower of the Borja fortress, and the flying flag heralded a fatal breach in the defense line of the Amur River in the Soviet Far East.

However, the biggest gain of this battle was Marquis Barnov and his 120,000 officers and soldiers! These former GC warriors, after submitting to the Russian Empress, were indeed rewarded and pardoned! Including the "most vicious" former Cheka warrior, Count Djohlay - who was sent to Vladivostok by a plane immediately after his surrender and was appointed deputy head of the Russian Imperial Secret Service! And the rest of the 120,000 people. In addition to replenishing the six Russian armies operating under the command of the Northeast Front, they were also reorganized into the 13th and 14th armies of the Russian Army, respectively.

This "large-scale surrender" incident, which took place on the fourth day after the launch of the all-out offensive of the squadron, was later considered by historical researchers to be the beginning of the collapse of the Soviet Red Empire! Because after this day, all the Red officers and soldiers, and the Russians, suddenly realized that there was not only one path before them! They can also choose another way of life...... Live as a person, not a screw of the Red Empire!

But at the time, no one thought that the Red Empire had fallen. At least for the thousands of Chinese airborne troops who are stuck in the East Siberian town of Krasnoyarsk and the surrounding dense forests, the battle has just begun!

Siberia, USSR local time. 15th. In the early hours of the morning, 2 o'clock sharp.

The Siberian cold snap in October was already evident, and the soldiers needed to be wrapped in thick cotton clothes at night to work, and the Min-26 automatic rifle had to be held in their arms at all times. So as not to freeze the bolt by the cold snap of the night. Tonight the night was dark, and there was no moonlight in the sky, which was what Major Xie Zhihan was looking forward to. For he and his more than 400 brethren were preparing to ambush a group of "blue hats" who were discrediting the advance. The "blue hats" numbered about two thousand people, presumably a regiment, and were heading north along the Yenisei River. Xie Zhihan didn't know where they crossed the river, probably rowing quietly at a ferry port further upstream, and now they were quietly discrediting their advance. There was not even a single torch, it was completely a sneak attack, but it was still discovered by the Chinese airborne troops, who had long mastered the skills of night combat.

Siberia in the USSR was too vast, and the area where there was human activity was only a small patch. The rest of the place is a jungle full of unknowns, where you can't build a continuous line of defense, and the situation of war is not as simple as one side defending and the other side attacking. Instead, you have to take the initiative to search for the enemy in the dense forest, destroy the enemy, and make the enemy dare not enter the dense forest for half a step! Only in this way can these thousands of them be firmly nailed here, blocking the main artery of the Soviet Union's east-west communications...... Until the time comes when the real cold in Siberia comes! At that time, even the most fearless Russians will be able to waste time in warm houses. Watch as their Far Eastern Front and Baikal Front slowly disintegrate.

Xie Zhihan was squatting behind a big tree that he didn't know how many hundred years had grown, and he was also carrying a Min-26 automatic rifle in his hand. There were also hundreds of these automatic firearms in the woods on either side of him, aimed at the distance with the muzzles of the black holes. A faintly approaching black shadow. Several more powerful MG37 general-purpose machine guns and 60 mortars were also erected, and more than four hundred elites, carefully selected from various units of the Wehrmacht, are now like more than four hundred experienced hunters, waiting for the prey to approach on its own.

After a few moments, the rumbling footsteps of the marching procession became clear, and through the gaps in the trees, the "blue-hatted" Soviets could be faintly seen slowly advancing along the forest path. The depths of the woods were so quiet that there was not a single animal, and all that could be heard was the whirring of the wind, except for the footsteps of the Red Army soldiers.

Xie Zhihan clenched the automatic rifle in his hand, after the previous battle, he had a great confidence in this "secret weapon", the firepower of this weapon is no less than a light machine gun on the battlefield, and its weight is very light, one person can operate flexibly, and a strictly trained soldier can use it to charge and strafe at the same time! For the infantry of the Soviet Red Army, armed only with rifles and machine guns, this new weapon was simply a call of death! But those blue hats are not afraid of death at all...... Now this elite who graduated from the seventh phase of Whampoa does not know that the entire Soviet army, including thousands of blue hats, has surrendered to the "empress"! All he knew was that the enemy was getting closer and closer, and he had already entered the ambush circle.

"Fire! Open-fire-" Xie Zhihan shouted, the automatic rifle in his hand began to shoot "suddenly", a string of red light flew towards the Soviet marching column more than 200 meters away, and in an instant, the gunfire was loud, and countless strings of light flew towards the Soviet Red Army soldiers who were somewhat panicked!

The quiet Siberian jungle suddenly turned into a battlefield filled with gunpowder, and the Soviet officers and soldiers were in a mess, not because they did not expect to encounter an ambush, but because they were not mentally prepared for the powerful firepower of the squadron. Hundreds of light machine guns!! The machine gun that a regular infantry division of the Soviet Red Army had is this number! Could it be that now there is a Chinese infantry division of more than 10,000 people ambushing itself? I don't know since when. People who make a living in war are always very sensitive to the number of enemies, and when they find that there are six or seven times more enemies than themselves, they are usually very, very afraid! Misjudgment allowed the commander of this Red Army to make the wrong decision at the first time.

"ha3aะด!ha3aะด!(Retreat!) Fall back! As the Soviet commander shouted this word, the already panicked Red Army soldiers immediately began to flee in a crumbling manner, and everyone turned around and ran without saying a word, only a few machine guns were still firing aimlessly according to the order to cover the retreating comrades, but soon a few 60mm mortar shells blew them and the machine gunners who operated them into parts!

Seeing that the enemy's machine gun has been taken out. Xie Zhihan waved his hand vigorously. Shouted: "Charge! Charge! Killโ€”" Then hundreds of Chinese airborne troops all jumped to their feet and chased after them with automatic rifles spitting tongues of fire.

This is just one scene of the battle in Krasnoyarsk, which abounds in the dense forests on both sides of the Yenisei River. There were not only Chinese airborne troops who successfully ambushed the Soviet army, but also the Chinese defense forces that the Soviet army sneaked up on the squad, and even Sun Liren sent two battalions of officers and soldiers to infiltrate the other side of the Yenisei River to sneak attack the headquarters of the Soviet army.

"The 506th regiment was ambushed by a Chinese infantry division on the east bank of the Yenisei River!"

"The 507th regiment calls for support! They were also suppressed by about a division of the enemy! โ€

"There are too many enemies, and the guard battalion is about to be overwhelmed! Comrade commander, hurry up and transfer. โ€

Several mortar shells fell near Chuikov's temporary headquarters, and dust fell from the ceiling of the explosion. The news brought by the signal soldiers made him even more worried. The number of squadrons is obviously more than in the intelligence, not a few thousand, or at least twenty or thirty thousand! Although it lacks heavy weapons, it has enough machine guns. And it was quite elite, and in one night, it actually overwhelmed its own Red Army 111th Special Army.

"A regiment of the 330th Division, having encountered about a division of the enemy's infantry, had been crushed, dead several hundred men, and was now retreating into the dense forest to the south. The other regiment of the division is also almost overwhelmed, and it seems that we have been defeated for the time being. Krasnov, the chief of staff of the 111th Special Army, pointed to the dense forests on both sides of the Yenisei River on the map, and said to Chuikov: "They seem to be very good at fighting in the dense forests, probably specially trained, and far more numerous than us." So we have to step back to a safe place for a while and regroup. Request reinforcements. โ€

Chuikov exhaled heavily, for the current situation. He also felt powerless, now only 1 division had rushed to the west bank of the Yenisei, and another division was on the way, and the opponent could well have three divisions!

"What is the current situation with the losses of the troops?"

"About 20 percent of the personnel were lost." When the chief of staff answered, he also shook his head, in just two days of fighting, the troops actually lost 3,000 people, this is still the 330th Division adapted from the elite internal security force, if it is replaced by the 331st Division of the reserve, I am afraid that the whole army has been wiped out now, right?

"These guys look like they're heavily trained in night and jungle warfare! It must be a special force...... I should not have allowed the troops to cross the river to sneak up on them, I should have slowly consumed them with artillery fire and infantry. Chuikov raised his binoculars and looked at the place where the exchange of fire was taking place in front of him, "Huh! Their rifles rarely fire? It seems that they are all fighting with light machine guns! Looking at the range, it doesn't look like a submachine gun...... Have the troops in front captured their weapons? โ€

"Okay." The chief of staff picked up the phone and called the guard battalion of the military headquarters, which was fighting hard at the front, to give an order. Twenty minutes later, a well-crafted, but odd-looking, firearm that at first glance knew was an automatic weapon was delivered to Chuikov. Chuikov pulled out the somewhat crooked magazine, withdrew a bullet, took it in his hand and looked at it, and said with a wry smile: "They truncated the 7.62mm rifle bullet...... Speaking of which, this gun is the standard equipment of their infantry. He sighed, "Find someone to send guns and bullets to Moscow to the People's Commissariat of Defense, I hope we can make them in time!" โ€

"Comrade Commander, should we transfer?" The chief of staff glanced at the direction of the exchange of fire with some concern, as if he was a little closer to himself!

"What's the panic?" Chuikov straightened his back. showed the temperament of a famous general, "The enemy does not have three divisions, but our people mistook the enemy's new guns for machine guns in a panic and miscalculated the enemy situation!" "Actually, it is not a mistake, judging the number by the sound of the enemy's machine guns or cannons in night operations is what the training code of the Soviet Red Army stipulates.

"You go and organize all the personnel of the military department, follow me! Let's fight off these Chinese devils! Chuikov gave the order to the chief of staff loudly, reached out and took a handful of Mosin from the guard's hand. Nagant strode out without looking back.

Sun Liren and Huang Hui stood guard in the shelter set up on top of a small knoll, holding on to binoculars and staring at the constant flashes of fire across the Yenisei River. They did not know that their two battalions were attacking one of the enemy's corps headquarters. I only know where an artillery position is. This is what the pilots of the transport planes that airdropped supplies in the afternoon saw. Due to the disruption of several Soviet I-15s, the Wehrmacht's airlift was forced to change to airdrop, but at present, the airborne troops have just started, and the airdrop of guns and ammunition to supply mortars or something is okay. It will be difficult to airdrop a serious 105mm howitzer...... Without the support of large-caliber artillery, there is no way to carry out this positional battle! Therefore, Sun Liren wanted to take advantage of the night to raid and knock out the enemy's artillery position!

"It doesn't look like it's going to work." Sun Liren sighed softly, "Send a flare and let them retreat." โ€

Huang Hui, commander of the 1st Airborne Division, shook his head: "Commander, I think we can try again, our firepower is fiercer than the other party." The fighters, in turn, were rigorously trained. โ€

"No! We have few people and can't afford to be consumed. Sun Liren put down his binoculars and strode over to the staff officers who were studying the battle situation in front of the map. The face was tight, and the light of the lantern swayed. His face flickered brightly and darkly.

He said to the chief of staff and said: "Send a telegram to the base camp, ask them to organize another airdrop tomorrow, and send me the 3rd Regiment of the 1st Airborne Division, I'm afraid we have a tough battle to fight here!" In addition, let them airdrop a batch of winter clothes...... It's so cold in Siberia. โ€

Sun Liren's face was pale, and he seemed to have never been so serious. This battle was the first time that his airborne troops went to war. If you can't hold Krasnoyarsk, then the Airborne Forces will not be the pride of the Wehrmacht, but a laughing stock! Especially that hot-headed Natalie. Lesinskaya is also inside Krasnoyarsk. If Stalin's people were taken prisoner, Luo Yaoguo would have lost his wife and broken his soldiers! The foreign minister is out of the house. I don't know what is the use of this woman staying here?

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

"Martinov. We haven't seen each other in sixteen years, have we? Natalie was holding a steaming cup of coffee in a luxuriously decorated office. The "arrested" first secretary of the party committee of the Krasnoyarsk Territory sat opposite her. There was a big man with a very unkind face who stared at him with eyes, as if he was going to eat him alive. But the determined GCD man no longer has the panic he had when he was arrested, and he now knows that he was not arrested by internal agents, but by the enemy! What is there to be afraid of the enemy? The old GCD staff is not afraid.

Seeing the other party's stubborn look, Natalie nodded with a smile and said: "You are still the same, a tough guy with iron bones, the hard labor of the tsar and the leather whip of the White Russia are not scared, even if you are shot, you are not afraid!" But when I heard that they arrested you, you were so scared that you peed your pants, is that true? GCD people are also scared? โ€

Martinov raised his eyes and looked at Natalie, and said coldly: "Then it depends on who is right, of course we are not afraid of the enemy's muzzle!" But the organ is different, GCD people are hard bones in front of the enemy, but in front of the superiors are docile white rabbits, don't you know? โ€

"Are they all hard bones in front of the enemy?" Natalie smiled: "But the commander of the 21st Army, Barnov, surrendered to the Empress with his army, a whole army!" She paused and said, "Why don't you surrender too...... You must know how many labor camps there are, how many prisoners, how many defenders, how many supplies there are in Krasnoyarsk, and where they are placed. As long as you speak honestly, I can ask the Empress to give you a marquis as well...... And we can also announce to the outside world that we killed you, the first secretary of the Krasnoyarsk border district! Then your family members who remain in Moscow will not only not be in danger, but will also become glorious martyrs. Otherwise, we will say that you have surrendered to us and accepted the title of Marquis...... Mardinov, you know that Stalin had a very bad temper! And it's still extraordinary times! โ€

Natalie spoke his opinion slowly, her expression not unusual, a confident smile.

"What! Barnov surrendered? It can't be, it can't be...... How could a commander of an army group betray the Motherland? โ€

"He did not betray the Motherland!" Natalie smiled heavily and said, "He just betrayed the Bolshevik Party and Stalin!" He is now the commander of the 13th Army of the Russian Imperial Army, and he is fighting for Russia! Russia is the real Motherland, and the Soviet Union is just a cage imposed on the Russian people by the Bolsheviks! Martinov ...... Please return to the side of the real Motherland, the Russian people will be grateful to you! โ€
