Chapter 211: Reversal! Churchill's Tears (24)

"You forgot? The railway between Sorochinsk and Perevolotsky has been damaged by enemy aircraft and airborne assault units for several days, which not only affected the supply of the Front, but also delayed the arrival of reinforcements - the second batch of reinforcements from the Ural Front is still in Sorochinsk, right? ”

Brusilov's words reminded Nakasidze, and he subconsciously twisted the mustache on the side of his mouth, and then nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, that old fox in Kontrachenko, he gave me a discount when he sent reinforcements, and now there is a problem with the railway...... The second group of reinforcements stranded in Sorochinsk, but with a mere cavalry division and a tank battalion, would have taken at least two days to force a march to the front line on the Oren River. The third batch of reinforcements is an infantry division, which only began to be loaded today, and according to the current situation, it will not be possible to reach the front line in five or six days. ”

"So, for the next two days, all the reserves available to you are the 11th Cavalry Division of the 3rd Cavalry Corps that remained in Svetley, and the other two regiments of the 62nd Infantry Division in the Orenburg Fortress District—I ask you, how can the enemy make another concentrated assault tomorrow, the size and intensity of which is comparable to today, do you think we can withstand it?"

Brusilov's heavily bandaged face was expressionless, but his question was a real blow to Nacasidze's heart.

"Don't worry, until the situation is clear, I won't talk about counterattacking."

"The German-Austrian forces have launched a new offensive from the west, we will not get more reinforcements in the short term, no matter how the situation develops, I advise you not to take unnecessary risks, and to preserve your strength, not only to defend this empire, but also to ......"

Brusilov squinted at this, and suddenly sold the guanzi.

"What do you think? What else can you do but the Empire? ”

Nakasidze blurted out, "Is it for myself?" ”

Brusilov sighed lightly, shook his head slightly, and said: "This empire is collapsing, but the Russian nation cannot and will not perish - for the sake of the future of the nation, please save the strength in your hands." ”

Nakasidze was stunned for a moment, then smiled and stretched out his hand: "I can't do this kind of thing alone, Alexei Alekseevich, you have to help people to the end." ”

……

Eighty kilometers south of Orenburg, in the railway town of Soli-Iletsk, the forward headquarters of the Central Asian Front of the Chinese Army, Liang Tianhe sat upside down on an oak chair, his hands on the top of the back of the chair, the Kinhard Gate filter in his mouth was half burned, green smoke curled, and soot fell from time to time on the sleeves of the marshal's uniform.

“…… Throughout the day of 24 June, the assault group destroyed and discarded 126 combat vehicles, 33 armored vehicles, and 5 self-propelled artillery pieces during the battle to seize the landing site across the river and the subsequent capture of key areas around the landing site. ”

"On the 25th, with the cooperation of the 5th Panzer Corps' feint attack on the No. 1 highland forest on the northeast side of the landing site and the village of Sakmara on the east side of the landing site, the 6th Panzer Army focused on the No. 3 forest on the west side of the landing site without success, and a total of 67 combat vehicles, 21 armored vehicles, and 3 self-propelled guns were destroyed and discarded throughout the day."

"Yesterday, that is, on the 26th, with the cooperation of the 5th Armored Army's feint attack on the No. 1 highland forest, the assault group was put into the armored cavalry detachment as a mobile reserve, and cooperated with the 6th Armored Army to focus on the capture of the No. 2 highland forest on the northwest side of the landing field.

“…… The 490 tanks equipped at the time of the assault group, plus the 25 units of the 2nd Independent Tank Battalion that were added on 25 June, made a total of 515 units, so that only about 80 were available, and about 100 were to be repaired; of the three hundred and sixty half-tracked and wheeled armored vehicles at the time of the sortie, about one hundred and eighty were still available, and about seventy more were to be repaired; Of the fifty-four self-propelled guns at the time of the sortie, less than twenty were available, and more than a dozen remained to be repaired. ”

Closing the folder, the faithful chief of staff, Yan Canglong, tried to comfort the depressed old commander behind the table: "Commander, we have actually completed the task: the general summer offensive of Germany and its client states against Russia will begin on the 25th. After this battle, it was impossible for the two Russian fronts in front of our army and the Northern Army to transfer back a single soldier to the German front in the short term. Rather than making every effort to pursue excess results, our army can take the initiative to retreat while preserving a certain amount of assault capability, and it will be more able to psychologically oppress and contain the enemy in front of it. ”

Liang Tianhe snorted in his nose, puffed out half of the cigarette in his mouth, and the cigarette butt bounced on the floor, splashing sparks.

"You know the."

"Yes, I don't understand it, and I ask the commander to take care of your health......"

Yan Canglong can only care about this way.

Liang Tianhe lowered his hands, his chin was on the top of the back of the chair, and his expression seemed to be smiling: "Of course you don't understand." This is a deliberate game set up by that woman, she knows that I don't deal with Wang Zhi, and she also knows that I want to enter Europa before Wang Zhi, drink the Volga River, and leave a name in history as the conqueror of Russia......"

"At first, she sent someone to hint that the king was straight to the end, and on the other hand, she provoked me with some kind of German betrayal and 'last blow'."

"When I got out of the boundary, I turned the diversion battle into a failed breakthrough battle, and when I was stuck in the Oren River and couldn't advance or retreat, I didn't let the base camp order to stop me, but threw Wang Zhi's proposal directly over and added fuel to the fire, which made me angry and stubborn to the end, and made the current situation."

Yan Canglong had long been accustomed to Liang Tianhe's unscrupulousness, and he didn't dare to disobey the dragon's beard at this time, so he only blindly comforted him with kind words: "Commander, no matter what, I believe that all your decisions are out of absolute loyalty to the emperor and the empire." ”

Liang Tianhe sneered and said: "It's strange that I'm too heartless, after Liu Bailiang's accident, I should have thought that one day it would be my turn." At that time, I thought that I was not afraid of shadows, as long as I was dedicated to fighting the battle well and staying away from politics, I was not afraid of being caught by them. It's really spitting out the seedlings and spitting hard......"

"The job is dull, I don't know what it means to 'spit out the seedlings and spit the bitterness'?"

"This is English, and there is a sentence at the end, 'Sun Tai died which billion', which translates to 'very stupid and naïve', which is a famous saying that the three generations of Emperor Xiaozong of my dynasty killed the Quartet......"

"Commander, you're drinking again, aren't you? Where did the three generations of Emperor Xiaozong come from in this dynasty......"

Yan Canglong was completely confused.

"You just treat me as a drinker, anyway, I haven't been in this position for long, you have followed me for so many years, I'm afraid it will inevitably be involved, no matter what your future path is, as long as you consciously have a clear conscience. Lao Yan, let's do it for yourself. ”

After Liang Tianhe finished speaking, he got up with shaking hands, opened the drawer under the table, and took out a bottle of vodka that had been treasured for a long time and was said to have been picked up from the ruins of the Chita Fortress in the last Asian-Russian war......

Leaving Yan Canglong alone in the dimly lit room, he muttered: "Is the chief crazy, or am I stupid and naïve?" Wait, 'that woman' whatever

Could it be that the current emperor ......"
