Chapter 491 491 Soaring
After the Central Front Army commanded by Fei Xin, the general of the star base, won the Battle of Ufa, it launched a wave of astonishing rushing operations. The two armies involved in the Ufa campaign, the 1st and 9th armies, continued to advance westward almost without stopping after the end of the campaign, while the three armies that were the reserve forces were also brought up by Fei Xin and followed behind the two major armies that were advancing rapidly. These three reserve armies include some troops from Nanyang, Korea, and Eastern Europe, except for the Nanyang Defense Force itself, which uses Chinese weapons, and there is no problem in ensuring combat effectiveness, and the remaining countries are basically following behind, driving forward while familiarizing themselves with equipment.
The next target of the Central Front was Samarra, where the headquarters of the former Soviet Russian army was located. This is also the birthplace of Makashev, and if the city can be captured, the blow to the Soviet Russian army will be huge. Samara is about 400 kilometers away from Ufa, and there are almost no large-scale Soviet Russian defense units in the middle, which is why Fei Xin was so bold after taking Ufa, directly letting the 1st and 9th armies attack, and leaving the work of collecting prisoners and guarding the city to the troops who followed behind.
The terrain and traffic situation from Ufa to Samara are very good, I don't know if the Soviet Russian army knows that even if the road is destroyed, the terrain of this land without bullying will not slow down the speed of the Twelve Nation Alliance, so they didn't even do any roadblocks and destruction.
It may be better to build a mine to hinder the coalition forces, but the frizzy Russians are reluctant to bury mines on their own land, probably fearing that they will not be able to clean up after the war and will blow up their own people.
As a result, the fully mechanized 1st and 9th armies advanced at an alarming speed, and in the 23rd hour after the end of the Battle of Ufa, the vanguard of the two major armies had arrived at the periphery of Samara, and at this time the second line of Soviet Russian troops stationed in Samara had not yet made any preparations.
The forced march of the main forces of the two group armies in such a posture was actually not in a good state of battle, but such an astonishing speed and ferocious momentum still frightened the hearts of the Soviet Russian army. The two armies did not have the leisure to surprise the whole army, but sent a small armored force to attack the Soviet Russian troops stationed north of Samara.
The Russian army put up only a very limited degree of resistance before being routed. There was a battle that made people's eyes fall in this burst, the tank battalion dominated by the ******** Type 99 tank kept a fully armed infantry division of tens of thousands of Soviet Russian troops on the left and right, and these 70 or so 99A5 were exchanged left and right in the Soviet Russian army like Mongolian cavalry, and the tank battalion on the left flank rushed all the way from left to right, and the tank battalion on the right also broke from right to left. The Soviet Russian army had no way at all, and an entire division was actually defeated by these more than 70 tanks.
More than 100 tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed by two tank battalions, more than 600 people were killed, and more than 3,000 Chinese infantry soldiers who arrived later took prisoners, and the remaining Soviet Russian troops basically fled. Of the more than 70 tanks, only two were damaged and incapacitated, and the Soviet Russian army had no way to destroy this tank, so they could only attack the tank's tracks with bazookas, making it impossible to continue fighting. But this way is not easy, the 99A5 with strong firepower and laser blinding, within thousands of meters of the body, it is basically impossible to have a standing enemy.
The Soviet Russian army broke into Samara, and the Red Guard Corps pursued the victory, Samara did not break out a relatively fierce street battle, and the Soviet Russian army's will to resist was not strong, and it was often unable to continue fighting after suffering heavy losses, so it could only surrender. This made Qi Yiming very surprised, feeling that he was not fighting with Mao Zi, who was known as a fighting nation, but those young masters of the American imperialist who could not endure hardship.
In fact, it is not that the Soviet Russian army is really afraid of death or lacks courage, the Soviets used tens of millions of corpses in the Great Patriotic War to declare their tenacity and unyielding to the world. But the Soviet Union at that time and the current Soviet Russia are two different things, the former Soviet Red Army soldiers, understand that taking a step back is the abyss, the motherland will be slaughtered and enslaved by the devil comrades, compatriots will be slaughtered and enslaved, and at the same time they have a strong collective and the same tough leadership group of the CPSU, they have something to believe in and trust, and they have a deep understanding of why they are fighting and how they fight.
But today's Soviet Russian army, behind it stands an executioner who slaughtered millions of ethnic minorities, a terrorist warlord leader who once suppressed ordinary citizens and progressives, their motherland has been torn apart, the things they believed in in the past have become toilet papyrus, they have nothing to rely on and nothing to hope for, when they carry guns to the battlefield, the whole person is confused and chaotic, how can they be willing to sacrifice themselves on the battlefield for what noble things.
Such a Soviet Russian army is actually called an army is also a little reluctant, and in fact, it is just a wild monster used by Qi Yiming to brush up experience points.
After the capture of Samara, the 1st Army crossed the Volga from Togliatti and continued westward, advancing towards Moscow. The 9th Army also followed, but with a force of two divisions to the north, it attacked the important town of Ulyanovsk.
After learning that Samara had been captured, the citizens of Ulyanovsk, instigated by Red Guard spies, took to the streets and attacked the Soviet troops stationed there with all kinds of weapons. The defenders here are not the cold-blooded and ruthless people of the Mystic Palace, who did not dare to shoot directly in the face of the civil riots, but beckoned the few Soviet Russian troops to immediately withdraw from Ulyanovsk. In this way, the "uprising" of the citizens of Ulyanovsk succeeded and succeeded in taking the city. The fleeing Soviet Russian army was intercepted by the coalition forces halfway and chose to surrender without much resistance.
The advance of the Northern Front was slightly slower than that of the Central Front, and they arrived in Kazan 11 hours after the 1st Army crossed the Volga. Again, no fighting broke out here, and the Soviet Russian army, which was opposed by the local Tatars, retreated from the city in advance and was moving westward, and the commander of the Northern Front developed a rather fantastic strategy, the main forces of the Front did not care about these Soviet Russian troops, but continued to march westward, seeking to join forces with the Central Front in Moscow, and a part of the forces were far behind these deserters, until they could not escape or the situation changed and surrendered to them, and there was no need to rush to join them.
The commander came up with such a method, mainly because the coalition forces were too abundant, not only capable of guarding the cities they occupied, but also having the leisure time to play around with the Soviet Russian army.
Relatively speaking, the road to Moscow of the Southern Front was a little more rugged, although the Great Plain of Eastern Europe was endless, and the armored troops could run over it, but the main defensive force of the Soviet Russian army was in front of the Southern Front. Leopold actually did not think at first that the Chinese would break through so quickly on the northern and central fronts, so the southern front was the focus of his defense, and he invested 100,000 troops here. Although there is no hope that we can win against the Chinese, we must at least drag them down.
About 400,000 men of the 400,000 armies of the 2nd, 6th, 10th, and 18th armies of the Southern Front fought a head-on battle with the Soviet Russian army in Tambov and Lipetsk oblasts. The fighting mood of the Soviet and Russian troops on this road is quite passable, although the overall fighting spirit is not high, but at least they can stabilize the front and entangle with the southern front.
Frankly speaking, Qi Yiming thought that the Southern Front did not fight well, because the commander of the Southern Front was a Kazakh, and the reason why he was appointed as the commander of a front army was because, after all, it was a multinational force, and all the leaders of the large army were Chinese, which was really a little unsightly. But the Russian-born Kazakh commander reused the Kazakh-dominated Sixth Army, which was not very strong in actual combat, and let the more powerful 2nd and 10th armies plunder for the 6th Army. As a result, he underestimated the degree of resistance of the Soviet Russian army, which made the originally extremely superior forces even appear anxious in the details of the battlefield.
In the end, the natural Southern Front was undoubtedly victorious, but the 6th Army suffered heavy attrition, with at least 5,000 casualties in the battle. Judging from the average of World War II, this casualty is actually nothing, but judging from the casualty rate of the PLA has always been a few per 10,000, it is really a bit miserable. What's more, he slowed down the speed of the southward front's westward advance, so that the southern front, which was originally closest to Moscow, was not as fast as the central front after the battle, which made Qi Yiming very angry.
In his capacity as commander-in-chief of the Joint Operations Command, Qi Yiming replaced the commander, and a major general of a star-rated base replaced the commander of the front army. The 6th Army also underwent a certain degree of cultivation and adjustment due to heavy casualties, and the 2nd and 10th Armies composed of Red Guard troops continued to take the lead in the southern front and marched towards Moscow.
The other 18th Army is mainly composed of the Kazakh Army and the Far East Army, because they all use Soviet-made weapons, so they are organized together, and their role is actually basically in the reserve force and the guard and maintenance of the occupied areas along the line, so the advance speed is very slow, and it is behind the two Red Guard Corps, basically not fighting.
The main thing is to let the Red Guard Legion not only ensure that the victory is beautiful, but Qi Yiming also wants to fight a little more to improve his combat experience points, although the war broke out for a few days, but he looked at the soaring experience bar is a burst of relief, and even thought badly that if the war could last for a while longer, he would be able to go straight to the Lv3 base. But he wasn't bored to that point, and besides, the war needs to end when it's time to end, and trying to drag it out will have a negative effect.
