Chapter 53 Chase and Fight

History has changed a little because of Kolchak's survival, but from the perspective of the process, some things have not changed. Frunze's defeat did not make him lose the trust of the Soviet leadership.

"The Poles captured Vilnius, and the next target should be Galicia. If I were the leader of the Soviet Union, I would have to reverse the situation of fighting on two fronts. From a military point of view, Cai put forward his own views.

"Sue sù Qi Zhenghong, emphasizing that Omsk is the bottom line. There is no need for us to give our lives to the White Russian army, those gold from Kolchak are not worth such a huge price for our army. When Jiang Fangzhen mentioned this, his face was also painful. Since the start of the war in Novosibirsk, although the results of the war have been great, the losses paid are not small, and the casualties of nearly 5,000 people are not a small number, although there are many new recruits here. As for the fact that the White Russian army suffered more casualties, Jiang Fangzhen did not care at all.

"The Military Intelligence Bureau found out, and Denikin's ministry was completely defeated. As the Polish army deepened and the supply lines lengthened, a Soviet counterattack became inevitable. Judging from the time, the war is estimated to end at the end of the year, so let him move faster, and the task must be completed before the end of the year. After Fang Jianxiong finished speaking, he extinguished the cigarette in his hand, walked to the window and looked at Tiandao: "Tomorrow should be sunny." Flutter, the two behind him laughed together, it seems that the problem of this weather has given Fang Dashuai a headache.

Airplanes appeared in the sky again, and the heavy bombardment turned the Soviet positions on the heights into a sea of fire. A regiment of the 1st White Russian Army after the shelling, shouting Ula to rush forward. This kind of linear group charge tactic is really unsatisfactory.

Liu Mingzhao put down the binoculars and said to Fan Yong, the regiment commander beside him: "The White Russian army is still using the old tricks of the First World War, don't count on them." In half an hour at most, they will be defeated. Let the artillery prepare to block the fire and prevent the Soviets from pursuing it. ”

Zhu Helai in the woods has been waiting for orders. Finally waited for a call from Blyukhel. "Now, strike!"

The Soviet armored brigade hiding in the woods suddenly came out and stabbed the attacking White Russian army in the waist. In less than ten minutes, the White Russian army ran back in a panic, and the Soviets frantically pursued and killed behind.

"How can you still have such a hand?" Liu Mingzhao was taken aback, and immediately ordered: "The mountain artillery battalion will give me a hard shot at the armored brigade of the Soviet army, what?" White Russian army, don't care if they live or die, otherwise the Soviet armored forces will chase them down, and we will also be finished. "I didn't expect the Soviet army to hide such a killer weapon. Liu Mingzhao also broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.

This position has been fought for a morning, but it has not been able to take it, and in Liu Mingzhao's opinion, the White Russian army is really a group of waste.

Boom, boom, boom. The 12 75 mountain guns ignored the White Russian army that was being pursued, and bombarded it with the armored units of the Soviet army. This result shocked Zhu Helai, who was being pursued, and immediately ordered: "Turn around, quickly turn around and go back to the woods." ”

An air force second lieutenant came into Liu Mingzhao's command headquarters and saluted, "General Liu." Xu Jianzhang, a second lieutenant in the Air Force, was ordered to report for duty. My mission is to give the Air Force guidance goals. ”

Liu Mingzhao grabbed his hand and walked to the gun mirror, pointed to the tank that the Soviet army was turning the direction and said, "See, can you come here?" Xu Jianzhang glanced at it and said, "No problem, five minutes at most." He beckoned the communications team to come in, and after a call. Within five minutes, a flock of eagles flew in the sky.

Soviet tanks and armored vehicles, which were fleeing into the woods, became targets for artillery and Eagle Three. Four eagles swooped down in three ways. A string of bombs was dropped, followed by a strafing fire. Less than ten tanks fled back into the woods, and despite the fact that five or six hundred White Russians had been killed, this result did not satisfy Blyukhel.

"Damn! Our Air Force is all rubbish! Zhu Helai, who escaped and ascended to heaven, leaned against the wall of the car and broke out in a cold sweat.

Wei Yue walked into Liu Mingzhao's headquarters. The aura was very full, and everyone saluted. "Brigadier Liu. I sent you a heavy artillery run, 24 155 howitzers, you say, how much time will it take to take this high ground? ”

"Division commander, I need at least one regiment to replenish." Liu Mingzhao is neither humble nor arrogant, and seems extremely calm. At this point, Wei Yue sighed to himself, this guy is too good at fighting. The blocking position built by the Soviet army on the Ob River was broken through by his brigade.

"Yes, I'll give you another tank company." Wei Yue waved his hand, which meant that he would not hesitate to make a qiē.

"Before dark, if I can't take the position, I won't be the brigade commander." Liu Mingzhao issued a military order.

The retired commander of the White Russian Army was escorted to Liu Mingzhao, Liu Mingzhao didn't look at his dead gray face, and said lightly: "Withdraw without authorization, and be escorted down to be executed." "Bang, bang, after two gunshots, the White Army officers all shook their bodies.

"Don't say I didn't give you a chance, wait a minute, my people are in charge of the main attack, your department will send a regiment, go up from the side, I will give you a tank company, there is no order to retreat, whoever dares to take a step back, I will shoot whom." is also the brigade commander, the brigade commander of the White Russian Army under Dericho, Variosha, standing in front of Liu Mingzhao with his head bowed and not daring to let go of a fart.

Thirty minutes of artillery fire was ready to begin, and 24 155 howitzers violently bombarded the Soviet high ground according to Liu Mingzhao's request. After the shelling, the Soviets came out of their bunkers one after another, but instead of waiting for the charging opponent, eight Eagle Threes came.

One bomb after another was dropped, not waiting for the expected violent explosions, but waiting for a sea of fire.

Molotov cocktails! There is also a scientific name called napalm! The Soviet troops on the position were burned to the ground in an instant, and people kept escaping from the trenches, full of people living on the position struggling and wailing, and the screams made people tremble all over.

"Mountain artillery battalion, a base artillery shell to bombard." After the order, 12 75 mountain guns bombarded fiercely, and the assault team of a battalion that had advanced to five hundred meters in front of the position was ready to charge.

"Without a tank, I can still destroy these turtle sons." A sly smile appeared on the corner of Liu Mingzhao's mouth, and he picked up the phone and said, "Wariosha, your people can attack." ”

There was a regiment of Soviet troops on the high ground on the defense, and when they spotted the tanks rushing forward on the flank, they immediately thought that the flank was the direction of the main attack. The Soviets were fooled, and by the time the frontal volunteer commandos launched a fierce attack, it was too late. The assault battalion, at great speed, under the cover of heavy fire, rushed to the position where the fire was still burning.

"Flamethrow!" A pillbox was covered with a fire dragon, and several Soviet soldiers struggled to escape, being beaten and turned into corpses. Soviet soldiers were constantly rushing out of the trenches, and the bright bayonets had little room to play, and the assault battalions were full of firepower, and the Wehrmacht was not the Japanese Army, and those that could be solved with bullets did not need bayonets.

The Soviet position was in chaos, the assault battalion was like a sharp knife, the high ground that would not be big in the future was cut into two pieces, and the follow-up troops rushed forward like a tide, dividing the Soviet army into five small units, each of which was broken. Reinforcements were urgently needed from Blyukher, but they were met with strafing from aircraft and interdicting fire from artillery regiments. After more than three hours of fierce fighting, the high ground in front of this sudden attack was overcome, and the strength of one regiment and one battalion of the Soviet army was completely annihilated, and less than 20 escaped. The armored brigade, which was ambushed in the woods, had already run away first. The fleeing tanks were greeted by planes and artillerymen, and only five wheeled armored vehicles remained.

Bad things were still to come, and on the second day of the blockade, half of the highland support points on which Blyukhel had placed high hopes were overcome. Blyukhel lost an infantry brigade plus an armored brigade. Fortunately, it was dark and the Chinese stopped attacking. But when the wee hours came again, something even worse happened.

Rumble! A single shell knocked over a bunker reinforced with rails, and the explosion was more powerful than the previous 155 howitzer. This is the 2nd Brigade of Independent Artillery, which is quickly transported using the repaired railway, this 15 howitzer with a range of 210 kilometers, the root is a demon from hell. The fortifications built by Blyukhel, even the strongest bunkers, could not withstand its threat.

The Soviets desperately resisted, and Blyukhel personally went to the front line to supervise the battle. Under the hoarse agitation of the political commissars, the Soviet troops became outlaws. Li Daxiong, commander of the First Army of the Volunteer Army, also rushed to the front line, and found Wei Yue, the commander of the 53rd Division, in the headquarters five kilometers away from the front-line position.

"Old Wei, under the aerial reconnaissance, the main force of the Soviet army has all passed through Ubinskye. Little Kabi Pinch Tennaya, how long are you going to fight? Li Daxiong's tone was not good, and Wei Yue said with shame on his face: "Please sit on the defensive line, our army will continue to attack after dark, and we will definitely be able to break through the Soviet defense line tomorrow." ”

", before dawn tomorrow, we have to break through. Tomorrow before dark, I would like to see the cavalry arrive at Ubinskye. After Li Daxiong finished speaking, he stared at Wei Yue without turning his eyes, and the meaning was not discussed.

"I know, I'll go to the front line to supervise the battle."

"Old Wei, it's not me who wants to embarrass you. The pressure on the commander-in-chief's side was not small, and the commander of Beijing sent a telegram, in order to ensure that Omsk was taken as quickly as possible, and asked our army to annihilate at least three-quarters of the Soviet army in this 650-kilometer pursuit. I'll tell you the truth, the Air Force has used all the four wings that can be transferred, and the first wing is to garrison Beijing. The more the Soviet army is eliminated on our side, the less the Soviet army can invest on the Polish side, and the more space Kolchak's power in Omsk will be able to win in the future. I won't say much about these big truths. ”

"Junza, I understand, do not hesitate to consume the elite of the Soviet army. The 500,000 Soviet troops brought by Frunze were all veterans of the Soviet army. The longer the Soviet-Polish war was fought, the better it was for me. ”

On the night of 1 May, the coalition forces launched an uncharacteristically night offensive, and Blyukhel hoped that the defensive line that could hold out for a week was riddled with holes, and at dawn, it was Liu Mingzhao's direction again, and the last support point was overcome. Blyukhel, who commanded the command, drew a gun and tried to commit suicide, but was held tightly by his subordinates and escaped with the last few armored vehicles.
