Chapter 47: The Fierce Battle

Being woken up in the morning while sleeping is undoubtedly a very irritating thing, but it was Jiang Fangzhen, the chief of the general staff, who rushed into the marshal's mansion with a telegram, and that was another matter.

"The Soviets prepared for an hour of artillery fire, and judging by the size, there were about four hundred 122 howitzers, as well as six or seven hundred 76-mm mountain guns. If you want to talk about Lao Maozi's artillery caliber, it is very special. Jiang Fangzhen didn't mean to be nervous at all, but ridiculed the Soviet artillery.

Fang Jianxiong rubbed the eye droppings in the corners of his eyes, glanced at Mr. Chief of the General Staff who was sitting and drinking tea in the living room, and said with a calm expression: "The 122 howitzer is a very good artillery, and it is the main artillery fire that our army may face in the future. ”

While greeting and freshening up, Jiang Fangzhen waited patiently, and after a while, Cai Ye and Zhang Xiaohuai also came. There are not many times when the military triumvirate of the Wehrmacht gathers together, and today is a relatively special day. Mainly because the Wehrmacht has never competed with the Soviet army, everyone is not clear about the details of the Soviet army, if it is facing the Japanese army or the British and French armies, it will not be early in the morning that all three of them will come over, at most they will get together in the General Staff to study the war situation.

"Half of the officers and non-commissioned officers of the two armies in Qi Zhenghong's hands have returned from Europe, and they also have advantages in equipment, so I don't think I need to worry too much. But Kolchak's White Army, a rabble, can't be reassured. There is the Ob River in the way, I hope it will be better. But Frunze was a powerful character, and he attacked before the end of April in order to settle the battle before the Ob River thawed. I have learned that today's spring is cold, and it is estimated that the thaw of the Ob River will take half a month. Cai Yi opened his mouth and went straight to the battle, Fang Jianxiong still had a bowl of noodles in his hand, and the three of them discussed in front of the huge sand table.

Another telegram came in. Interrupting the discussion of the three of them, Fang Jianxiong hurriedly ate two bites, put down the bowl and wiped his mouth, picked up the telegram and looked at it: "Sure enough, Qi Zhenghong's judgment is very accurate, the White Russian Army has long been infiltrated by the Soviet Army, and the main target of the Soviet Army is the White Russian Army." The large-caliber artillery all rushed to the positions of the White Russian army, and after an hour of artillery preparation, the Soviets began a strong charge. Fortunately, Qi Zhenghong was prepared. Eight heavy artillery regiments opened fire together to block it, and the Soviet assault troops suffered heavy losses. In the morning, the Soviets www.biquge.info had captured a bridgehead on the east bank of the Ob River and were beaten back by Delikov's armored forces. Now the two sides are fighting fiercely, and the Soviet troops are still under heavy attack. ”

As soon as the words fell. Another telegram came, Cai Yi grabbed it directly, patted his thigh and said: "Feng Hua is beautiful, the three flying wings take turns to attack, and every turn in half an hour, the Soviet artillery position does not dare to open fire lightly." Unfortunately, the Ob River is too thick to freeze. The effect of aircraft bombing was not obvious. ”

The top 20 students from the two army universities were divided into two groups, occupied the mountain in the living room of Fang Dashuai, set up a huge square table, and began weapon deduction. A group of young people is the age of competitiveness. It is worth not giving in to each other. The red side represents the Soviet army, and the blue side represents the defenders, each with a means to come up with a means to kill the other.

can be allowed to set up a battlefield in the large living room of the Marshal's Mansion. It is the glory of every young intern staff officer who is proud of his life. I heard that the seniors didn't have this blessing, and they used to do deductions in the hall of the General Staff.

If you can attract the attention of the marshal in the deduction. That's for the best.

"Aerial reconnaissance, the Soviets do not have tanks, and air supremacy is in our hands again. If I were to be the commander-in-chief, I would send an armored detachment, using mobility, to cross the river from upstream, and with the help of the air force's reconnaissance and cover, to go around behind enemy lines, penetrate directly into Ubinskye and cut off the arteries of the Soviet troops. ”

"Boling's idea is very good, and he is bold enough. However, a mistake was made, which was not a small one, and that was the lack of understanding of the difficult geography of Siberia. In order for the armored forces to carry out a big detour, they must first ensure roads and logistics, which are not a problem in Europe where transportation is developed, but in the environment of Siberia, it will not work at all. ”

The conversation between the two young people attracted Fang Jianxiong's attention, and Jiang Fangzhen introduced with a smile after discovering it: "The thin and small one is called Xue Yue, the word Boling, and he just joined the General Staff as a staff officer this year. The tall one is called Wang Geng, the word is celebrated, graduated from Tsinghua University in 11 years and was sent to the United States to study, and graduated from West Point in 18 years after a turn in major schools, ranking 12th in the whole grade. Now he is a captain and staff officer of the General Staff, and I think he is more suitable to work in the General Headquarters. ”

"Baili, with the development and progress of industry, the mode of war has changed dramatically. In the future, it is necessary not only to train the basic elements of military personnel, but also to cultivate the comprehensive coordination ability of military officers. Those who can fight can only be regarded as generals, and those who have strong comprehensive coordination ability and can use people are handsome. Speaking of this, Fang Jianxiong unconsciously remembered Eisenhower in the history of World War II, such a big scene as the Normandy landings, he can only deal with it, such a character is a treasure in the future world war. Generals who dare to fight and rush are easy to find, and handsome people who can strategize are rare.

"Supporting the country is far-sighted, and it seems that courses in this area will be held in the future." Zhang Xiaohuai interjected on the side, and everyone thought so.

Deduction and actual combat are completely two concepts, and the tactics proposed by Xue Yue, Qi Zhenghong did not expect it, or Qi Zhenghong thought of it and denied it, and then changed it slightly. The battle plan reported by Qi Zhenghong is very simple, stick to it! Hold! Hold on again, wait until the enemy is exhausted, and carry out a fierce counterattack with armored forces.

The problem is that now Qi Zhenghong does not have so many armored troops in his hands, only two armored brigades. At present, the entire national defense force is also not capable of forming a large number of armored units, and the first and second divisions of the Central Garrison are not only armored units, but the others are still traditional units. The armored troops in Qi Zhenghong's hands were transferred from the two central garrison divisions.

Although Fang Jianxiong is very clear about the future trend of the war model, he cannot stand the country's limited annual military spending. One armored division can cover the cost of four armor divisions, and if you raise too much, you will definitely not be able to raise it. So leave a seed first, cultivate talents, and wait for the future.

In Fang Jianxiong's long-term plan, ten armored divisions before the outbreak of World War II were enough. Once you enter the war and then explode the army, the key is still a problem of production capacity, there is no industrial reserve of seven or eight hundred thousand machine tools, what do you use to fight a world war? In the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in history, the equipment was all at the level of the people during the First World War, and it was several streets behind.

Of course, this time and space can't be mixed so badly, which is why Fang Jianxiong wants to build up the industry at any cost. If you sell the country or not, you have to have that money to be looked down upon.

Boom, boom, when a dozen Soviet soldiers rushed to the tank with explosive packets, only the last one remained, and finally one tank was blown up. The tide of Soviet soldiers, chanting "Ula", rushed forward without fear of life and death.

It had been almost ten hours since the battle began, and the ice of the Ob River was covered with blood, and the ice had been stained red by the solidified blood. The Soviet soldiers, who did not feel the slightest threat of death, stubbornly overturned 36 tanks of the White Russian army with their men, and nailed them to a position on the bank of the Ob River with a frontage of less than a kilometer.

The cruelty of the war was beyond the imagination of the warring parties, and the ferocity of the Soviet soldiers was also beyond Qi Zhenghong's imagination.

Holding the battle report in his hand, Qi Zhenghong couldn't imagine that such a large position, fifty heavy artillery pieces were bombarded for an hour, and then advanced with tanks, but he couldn't beat it down. In front of the tanks, the Soviet soldiers suffered a great loss, but they quickly found a way to deal with the tanks, that is, to bomb them with people. Often in order to blow up a tank, the Soviet army had to pay for the lives of dozens of people. In addition, to Qi Zhenghong's expectations, the infantry of the White Russian army was often out of touch with the tanks when they fought together.

Kolchak sat still in his chair, as if protesting against the forced relinquishment of command. Qi Zhenghong didn't have the extra energy to deal with him, he kept staring at the battle reports that kept coming from the table, just one day, the position of the White Russian army was torn open, and it had to be filled back, otherwise don't mention anything to hold on.

The positions on the part of the Volunteers have always been solid, and although the Soviets did not attack there, it was a full-scale offensive. There was not enough pressure, the Soviet army was not enough to drag the volunteers. The forward commander Li Daxiong has never complained of bitterness, and Qi Zhenghongji is relieved. However, the White Russian army continued to ask for help, and Qi Zhenghong kept holding on to one of the reserves of the White Russian army, Delikov.

Raise your hand and look at the time, there are still two hours before dark, and the Soviets must be driven back to the other side of the river before dark.

"Dericho, you take an infantry division up, and after half an hour of artillery preparation, launch an attack and recapture the position. I'll ask the Air Force to cooperate with you, and you can drive another armored brigade up. Picking up the phone, Qi Zhenghong gave an order. Derichkov on the phone snapped and said: "I understand, half an hour to ensure that you will reach the attack position." ”

Qi Zhenghong's opponent Frunze is not optimistic at the moment, although he has captured a position on the other side of the river, but it is certain that the enemy will definitely carry out the craziest counterattack before dark. Stalin, who was like a whirlwind, came in from the door and said loudly: "Comrade commander, our casualties are not small, but the comrades are all good, and they have repelled a counterattack by the White Army, and the positions on the other side of the river are still in our hands." Now we need to hold our positions firmly, hold out until dark, and launch a fierce attack early tomorrow morning to break through the White line in one fell swoop. ”

"Comrade Stalin, it's too early to say tomorrow, the enemy will not stop there." As soon as Frunze's voice fell, the phone on the table rang: "It's me, I know, I will hold on to it at any cost, and I must hold on until dark." Putting down the phone, Frunze said: "The enemy began a heavy shelling, at least a hundred artillery pieces are shelling the bridgehead positions. ”
