The huge roar of the high-power diesel engine of the D-type tank destroyer nicknamed the "Cheetah" just put into active service shook the earth, this enlarged version of the Stalker has a full combat weight of 45 tons, and the level of armor protection far exceeds that of the previous famous Stalker, and a 52 times caliber 88mm anti-tank gun is enough to blow up the strongest tank of this era, which can be said to be a sharp weapon used in the Chinese armored forces. But now there is a feeling that heroes are useless. After receiving the report from Shi Jianfei and Tian Yuchen, Guo Songling immediately ordered the two Panzergrenadier Divisions stationed at the front line to attack the Soviet positions. However, when dozens of D-type tank destroyers led thousands of grenadiers advancing in tracked armored vehicles appeared in front of the front-line positions of the Soviet army, only a few Soviet Red officers and soldiers were waiting there, and they were also waving white flags and holding high their hands as soon as they walked out of the position.

The "Battle of Krasnoyarsk", which could be called a battle on a large scale, but was not even comparable to a medium-sized battle, began in this way.

When the battle began, the Soviet Red Army stationed on the front line of Krasnoyarsk had six army groups of the 56th, 57th, 59th, 61st, 63rd, and 64th armies and one fortress division. However, the 56th Army and the 57th Army suffered heavy casualties in the nuclear explosion on April 1 and completely lost their combat effectiveness, while the 64th Army experienced two nuclear explosions. Although it was a certain distance from the center of the nuclear explosion, the losses were still very heavy, and the fortress division was completely wiped out in the second nuclear explosion.

However, the remaining three armies, the 59th, 61st, and 63rd, were still largely intact. Most of them were stationed in the Klaas after the 80s Shaolin abbot like dense fortifications. These include anti-tank trenches, anti-tank fire strongholds, anti-artillery fortifications, minefields, barbed wire and deer barricades. A little further back there are also 15 divisional artillery regiment positions, with more than 500 suppressed guns of various calibers. Hundreds of 45mm and 76.2mm anti-tank guns, as well as countless machine guns, mortars, and other light and heavy weapons, were placed on top of several infantry lines. If before the two Krasnoyarsk nuclear explosions, the Chinese army wants to break through these dense fortifications in front of them. I'm afraid that I will have to pay an unimaginable price.

But now, the attacking Chinese panzergrenadiers actually have a feeling of being sharp with their long swords, except for a little trouble in the minefield before breaking through the first line of defense of the Soviet army. The offensive that followed can only be described as overwhelming. In just one morning, three lines of defense were broken through one after another, and the walking corpse of Soviet prisoners of war lined up under the escort of a small number of Wehrmacht officers and soldiers to the prisoner of war camp set up in the east of the battlefield. Nagant rifles. Wehrmacht officers and soldiers were too lazy to carry it. Simply crushed them with the tracks of armored vehicles.

Before the Chinese attacked, the Soviet command system seemed to be completely paralyzed, and large-scale organized resistance took place. Their infantry did not seem to coordinate with the artillery in the rear, and the Soviet artillery groups either did not fire a single shot, or fired indiscriminately, sometimes even into their own positions. The 45mm and 76.2mm anti-tank guns deployed in the front-line anti-tank strongholds were also barely powerful. In some areas, these weapons, which were invaluable to the Soviet Red Army, were simply discarded, while in others, shells were fired at the rumbling D-type tank destroyers. However, the 45mm and 76.2mm armor-piercing shells they fired could not penetrate the 80mm armor steel plate arranged at a 55-degree angle on the front of the D-type tank destroyer. He raised his hands cleanly and surrendered.

Moreover, unlike what happened on the battlefield of the confrontation between the Chinese and Soviet armies in the past, not only were ordinary Red Army soldiers surrendering on a large scale, but even the officers and political cadres who were GCD members did not have the slightest determination to fight to the death, and by the afternoon of the same day, before the attacking troops broke into the "warning line" less than 5 kilometers from the center of the nuclear explosion, the total number of captured Red officers and men had reached between 70,000 and 80,000, including 19 colonels and regimental commanders and regimental political commissars. More than forty lieutenant colonel battalion commanders (by this time the Soviet army had abolished battalion instructors and company instructors), as well as thousands of company commanders and platoon commanders. There are even many political guards in blue hats who have been taken prisoner, these political guards are mentally broken, they find it difficult to accept the reality that the Soviet Union is about to fall, but they do not have the courage to commit suicide, they are even more afraid of being liquidated after the collapse of the Soviet GCD, and the only way to survive is probably to surrender to the Chinese, although everyone knows that such an act violates Article 56 of the Criminal Code of the USSR and is a betrayal of the motherland, but so what? The USSR is gone, and what is the 56 article of the Criminal Code?

Further aar, the commanders, commissars, and chiefs of staff of several group armies also showed an astonishing numbness in the face of the collapse of their subordinates, as if they had taken it for granted. No one tried to salvage this inevitable situation, and they all accepted this result very resignedly. The only thing they could do now was to flee, not to Kemerovo, a few hundred kilometers away, but to burrow into the dense forests of Siberia with a small number of cronies. In fact, the purpose of "fighting guerrillas" is to evade the severe punishment of their own front army and the revolutionary military committee, and at the same time to avoid the nuclear fission bombs of the Chinese. Although the 55th Army of the Red Army, which is more than 20 kilometers away from Krasnoyarsk, the 65th Army of the Red Army, which is more than ten kilometers northeast of Krasnoyarsk, the 56th Army and the 57th Army, and the remnants of the 64th Army, which are deployed more than ten kilometers away from the west bank of the Yenisei River, have all retreated westward in time to avoid the result of the annihilation of the entire army, but fundamentally speaking, the Eastern Front of the Soviet Red Army has completely lost its combat effectiveness!

And this battle of Krasnoyarsk was both at that time and in later days. All of them have become the focus of military experts in China, the United States, Germany, Britain and other countries. Numerous articles and books were published, and later generations of military historians agreed that the Battle of Krasnoyarsk was clearly won by two nuclear bomb attacks. It was the first time that nuclear weapons had been used in real combat. This battle not only proved the explosive power of nuclear weapons, but also made all military experts in the world clearly understand the great value of nuclear weapons in actual combat, and completely changed the course of World War II.

“…… The ground battles of the Krasnoyarsk campaign were hardly worth mentioning, lasting less than a day, and the fighting was not fierce and even one-sided. But the results were staggering, the main forces of the entire Soviet Eastern Front. As many as more than 300,000 troops, with strong fortifications, completely collapsed in the non-violent offensive of the Chinese army. Obviously, such a result cannot be regarded as a result of the ground forces of the Chinese army. Rather, it was achieved by the previous two nuclear bomb attacks.

This effect allowed Chinese and German military strategists at the time to see the tactical role of nuclear fission bombs, although the weapon was more of a strategic weapon. But it is undeniable that it played a huge tactical role in the Battle of Krasnoyarsk - completely intimidating the remaining hundreds of thousands of people after killing about 150,000 Soviet officers and soldiers. In the words of Napoleon: 'The purpose of war is to intimidate the adversary.' Let him obey your will. 'The tactical utility of a nuclear fission bomb is clearly to intimidate the adversary. Although the result of killing more than 100,000 people with two nuclear fission bombs may not seem too great, it is based on the fact that the losses of the side are negligible. In other words, the Chinese could kill tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of Soviets with nuclear fission bombs, and they had nothing to lose.

To use a more vivid analogy, the gap between the squadrons that used nuclear fission bombs and the Soviet Red Army, which did not have nuclear fission bombs, is like the gap between the armies of the Western colonizers, which were equipped with machine guns and cannons, and the Chinese Boxers, who only had big swords and spears. It is hard to imagine that the Chinese Boxers were able to maintain a high fighting spirit in the face of the Eight-Nation Coalition with advanced weapons, because their fighting spirit was no matter how high they were. It is also impossible to defeat the enemy's guns with flesh and blood, they are fighting a war that is bound to be lost. As a loser, there is usually no fighting spirit.

Of course, those who have studied history in later generations know that there were not many nuclear fission bombs in the hands of China and the Germans at that time. The plutonium-239 in the hands of the Chinese can probably assemble 3 to 4 nuclear bombs, while their uranium-235 can assemble 20 to 30 nuclear bombs, but there are some technical problems with using uranium-235 to charge nuclear bombs, which will take two or three months to solve. That is to say, in April 1936, the Chinese had only 4 nuclear bombs that could be used in real combat, and they actually used two of them in the same place! This move, which I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, did make the Soviet Red Army miscalculate, they believed that the Chinese Wehrmacht had hundreds of nuclear bombs in their hands, and Germany had more nuclear bombs in their hands! Although most of the middle and lower ranks of the Red Army and the Soviet people were unaware of the tragedy that had taken place in Krasnoyarsk, the Soviet GCD and the top brass of the Red Army were the first to be intimidated.

From the beginning of the Battle of Krasnoyarsk, the senior commanders of the Red Army, who had been almost perfect in the art of military command, began to lose their standards. Obviously, "nuclear fission bombs that rained down like drops" became the first thing they needed to consider -- not to allow the troops to be too concentrated, not to place the troops in densely populated large cities or important industrial towns, not to expect any fortress to stop the enemy's advance, and so on, all of which became the iron law of the Soviet army's senior generals to fight with their troops. However, an overly dispersed force was simply not enough to build a truly strong defensive line, and a counteroffensive required a large concentration of forces, and the accumulation of heavy forces around large cities was the best means of blocking the mechanized clusters of the German and Chinese armies. After these tactics were no longer used, the senior generals of the Soviet Red Army actually had no effective way to delay the demise of the Soviet Union.

Therefore, we can make such a judgment with great certainty. The Battle of Krasnoyarsk was the beginning of the era of nuclear warfare, after which nuclear weapons had become the decisive factor in the outcome of the war. And the Soviet Red Army, without nuclear weapons, was inevitably headed. And it was nuclear weapons that won the Second World War for us! ”

……

"Prime Minister. Good news, good news, good news for the Siberian Front. Krasnoyarsk has now been captured by our troops! Zhao Zhen rushed into Chang Ruiqing's office with a telegram in his hand, his mouth was almost closed with a smile, and he didn't salute when he saw Prime Minister Chang Da, and he came up to report his victory.

Although the capture of Krasnoyarsk was expected, it took less than a day, without any heavy fighting and without heavy casualties. It defeated hundreds of thousands of Soviet Red Army, captured countless weapons and equipment, and captured nearly 100,000 people. All of them are much beyond the imagination of the General Staff and the Ministry of Defense.

Obviously, these are two nuclear fission bombs in full swing, and the first actual combat use of this powerful new weapon seems to have achieved unimaginable success.

Chang Ruiqing was fascinated by several photographs, all of which were taken from the air after the first Krasnoyarsk nuclear explosion sent by the Strategic Air Force. It looks a bit disappointing. Heard the news of Zhao Zhen's report. Chang Ruiqing was slightly stunned, raised his head and looked at the other party: "Youlin, are you serious?" Krasnoyarsk fought? How much time has it been? ”

Zhao Zhen smiled: "It's true, can this be fake?" Guo Maochen's telegram was clear on it, the Soviets had collapsed, and they should have been frightened by two nuclear fission bombs. When Shi Jianfei and Tian Yuchen flew to Krasnoyarsk to observe the results of the nuclear explosion, they found that many Soviet Red Army troops were fleeing below, and then immediately sent a telegram to the Siberian Front Command to report the situation. Guo Maochen then urgently mobilized an Panzergrenadier Division to launch a tentative attack. Who knew that the Soviet Red Army simply did not have the will to resist...... It's going to collapse at the touch of a button! ”

"Really?" Chang Ruiqing hurriedly took the newspaper and read it carefully. laughed and said: "Haha, I originally thought that the two nuclear fission bombs didn't kill enough Lao Maozi, and they GC fighters wouldn't be afraid, but I didn't expect these people to be afraid of death." Hahaha......"

Zhao Zhenshun took a map in his hand and spread it out, took out a red and blue pencil from his pocket, drew a few red arrows west of Krasnoyarsk, and said: "The air force reconnaissance found that the road from Krasnoyarsk to the west was full of Soviet troops fleeing in large groups, and they all completely lost their struggle, and often discarded their equipment and baggage as soon as they heard the sound of airplanes. Guo Maochen has already sent the 5th Armored Cavalry Army to chase after him, and he has also sent hundreds of planes to chase and bomb all the way, even if he can't completely annihilate this Soviet army, he can wipe out all of them, and the remaining troops should not be able to hold the Kuznetsk Mountains and Novosibirsk. ”

He tapped the map with his fingers: "Two nuclear fission bombs have pushed the front forward by more than a thousand kilometers, and it's really worth it!" Moreover, once the Siberian Front advances to Novosibirsk, then the flank of the Soviet Central Asian Front will be completely exposed, and if Frunze does not want to be outflanked by us, he can only retreat, and it is estimated that he will give up most of Kazakhstan and retreat all the way to the north and west of Astana. Maybe we can drop the other two plutonium bombs somewhere in Kazakhstan and blow up the Central Asian Front of the USSR together! In this way, things on the Soviet side will basically be settled, and this world war can be ready to end! Zhao Zhen's tone was full of confidence, and his eyes were also shining, as if he was looking forward to a bright future for the Great China Federation. For a while, Chang Ruiqing's heart also warmed up.

He whispered to himself, "...... It seems that I have really created a beautiful future for the Chinese descendants, and it is not in vain that I came to this world. ”

Just when both of them feel that the shape is good. There was a knock on the door of Chang Ruiqing's office, and when he turned his head, he saw Army Commander-in-Chief Wu Shiye standing at the door with a smile, also holding a telegram in his hand: "Prime Minister, is the news of our ** delegation in Germany...... The Germans just dropped a nuclear fission bomb on Smolensk! ”

"The Germans bombed Smolensk?" Zhao Zhen took out the map of the Western Front battlefield and looked at it for a while, then smiled: "If our intelligence is not seriously wrong, it should be the location of the Soviet Western Front Headquarters and the storage place of logistics materials, and I don't know if their Western Front Command has moved, if not, I am afraid it will be out of the big basket." ”

Wu Shi said with a smile: "Even if the headquarters moves, it's useless, and the materials piled up in Smolensk can't be moved so quickly." And it was already an important railway junction. I estimate that the railway bridge over the Dnieper has been scrapped. The complete disruption of rail traffic from Moscow to the Belorussian front was the logistical lifeline of the Soviet Union's Western Front. Also, Hitler's nuclear fission bombs were not one or two. If he didn't finish throwing it, Trotsky would have had it. By the way, where are we going to bomb with nuclear fission bombs next? I don't think there is any need to bomb Baku, because the Soviet Union has no way to resist for a long time. ”

Chang Ruiqing smiled faintly: "Does the Soviet Union's ability to resist for a long time have anything to do with whether or not to bomb Baku with nuclear fission bombs?" ”

Zhao Zhen and Wu Shi looked at each other, and they were a little confused. Chang Ruiqing smiled again: "Baku, the largest oil industry base in the Soviet Union, is not our territory, so what's the pity if a nuclear bomb is blown down?" Now the victory of the world war is already a certainty, the world of the future. It will be an era when the three giants of China, Germany, and the United States are neck and neck. But the strength and ambition and potential of the Big Three are not quite the same, Germany dominates Europe and Africa, and also occupies the oil resources of the Middle East. The Ural industrial region of the Soviet Union is also their territory, and if you talk about industry and technological strength alone, Germany is undoubtedly the most powerful. Even excluding Britain, which also possessed nuclear fission bombs, Germany now has the same production capacity for heavy industry as the United States. And if you take the European part of the USSR and the Ural industrial region in your hands. Germany's heavy industry is at least 1.5 times stronger than that of the United States, and 3 to 4 times that of ours, but fortunately, the heavy industry of the Soviet Union is mainly powered by oil from Baku, and a nuclear fission bomb can always paralyze them for three or five years, right? ”

After listening to Chang Ruiqing's words, the expressions of surprise on Zhao Zhen and Wu Shi's faces had disappeared. Wu Shi muttered as if talking to himself: "You will be paralyzed for a while, but the foundation of the Soviet Union's heavy industry is still there, with German technology and capital and their management capabilities." The pace of revival will certainly not be slow, I am afraid it will not take more than five years. Hitler will be able to straighten out Germany's territory and sphere of influence in Europe, and then there will be a great enemy to the west. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and added: "There is also a United States that is probably not easy to deal with, the American Mutual Defense Treaty promoted by Roosevelt has been signed, and the next step is to build the American Community, if Roosevelt really gets the American Community out, it will be a behemoth with a total area of more than 42 million square kilometers!" It is 12 million square kilometers larger than our Great China Federation, and it is extremely rich in resources, the land is also very fertile, and there is also American capital and industrial technology, and the future prospects are also limitless! He smiled bitterly: "Prime Minister, it seems that our Great China Federation is still in the bottom of the big three in the future!" ”

Chang Ruiqing sneered, shook his head and said, "This is not necessarily, we also have our advantages, which is unity!" The Great Europe of the Germans and the Great America of the Americans are still just a prototype, and I don't know how many difficulties we have to overcome if we want to establish them in the end! Only our Greater East Asia has passed the eighty tribulations of the ninety-nine-eighty-one difficulties, and only the last one is missing to achieve the right result. Moreover, our East Asian nation has been the best at production since ancient times, but it was caught up by the West after the two industrial revolutions, but the industrious and thrifty people are still there, and there are 30 million square kilometers of land and resources, as well as 600 million labor force and huge market, even if the science and technology are backward, there will be a time to catch up! However, we can't just patronize the hooded chase, because the real struggle between the three giants has now begun, no matter how much we keep our eyes on it, it is impossible for us to stay out, and in the next war, we can't just think about defeating the enemy, but also consider weakening the allies as much as possible, so we still have to make good use of this nuclear fission bomb......"

"What do you mean, Prime Minister?" Zhao Zhen and Wu Shi glanced at each other, and the latter tentatively asked: "Are we going to drop a few more nuclear fission bombs on the territory of the Soviet Union that will be divided into the Germans in the future?" The Germans won't raise any objections, right? ”

Chang Ruiqing sneered, and picked up the summary of the situation sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the table: "There will be no objections now, Hitler would like to kill more Russians!" He had a dispute with Britain over the Australian issue, and Churchill had a nuclear fission bomb, and now he was not afraid of the Germans, so he was flattering Roosevelt again, preparing to unite with the United States to resist Germany and keep the Australian continent. Of course, on the Australian issue, we must support Germany, and it is estimated that in the end there will be a compromise, British Australia or Canada will accept a part of the Russian refugees, the total number will not exceed 30 million, and the rest will be our trouble with Germany, since the Germans gave us most of West Siberia, so we will at least share half of the burden. He gritted his teeth slightly, and said, "It's good to be able to eliminate a little more now, and wait for the end of the war to find a way to resettle." (To be continued......)
