Chapter 327 Japanese Strategy

Chita, in the boundless snow, hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops lay in the icy trenches, constantly pulling the trigger with their frozen fingers, and above their heads, countless Japanese planes, like vultures that prey on carrion, kept flying, and then sowed death into the ground.

The loss of air supremacy has now made these planes the biggest nightmare of the Soviet army in the Far East, and the bombs that fell from the sky not only harvested the lives of Soviet soldiers, but also destroyed their greatest reliance on the battlefield.

In the deafening explosion, countless fragmented corpses flew in the sky, blood and flesh melted the snow, mixed with the soil below into a disgusting mud, and those timid soldiers, even mad under this cruel battlefield, cried and laughed and rushed out of the army, and then were beaten into piles of rotten meat by bullets or shells.

In front of them, there were boundless white figures, hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers in lint winter jackets and white snow cloaks, like bloated marmots, running awkwardly through the snow, and then one by one fell under the muzzles of machine guns in the distance, and then they were crushed under the tracks by the roaring charging tanks beside them.

More than 500,000 Soviet-Japanese troops killed each other in the most savage way in this frozen wasteland in this hard-fought way, the blood stained the snow fields, the dead bodies covered the ground, and those dead bodies that were frozen into stones were even piled up into bunkers, becoming a lonely hiding place for the survivors.

This brutal killing contest has been going on for three days, and for three days Admiral Apanashchenko stubbornly used his last bit of strength to suppress it. Resisting the frantic attack of the Japanese army and buying precious time for the assembly of Soviet troops in the rear, this Soviet general who died on the Western Front in history can almost be said to be one of the few remaining achievements among the fighting generals of the older generation of the Soviet army, he used his perseverance or cruelty. saved the last trace of face of the Soviet army.

In the rear of the Soviet defense line, there are also countless machine guns, and those who withdraw from their positions do not need any reason, they will be shot directly, coupled with the just-announced method of continuous sitting, so that the Soviet troops on the front line have no way to retreat, and can only delay the pace of death in the hell of blood and fire.

And his opponent, the commander of the Chita Front of the Japanese army, General Terauchi Shouichi, also insisted, and a heavy snowfall ruined the entire plan. This has to be said to be a tragedy, the original raid on Chita turned into a strong attack, the tenacity of the Soviet army here is also unexpected, three days of fighting has made him have casualties of nearly 50,000, fortunately, the air force still firmly holds the air supremacy, so he firmly believes that the winner of this battle is still him, fighting attrition, forty years ago Lucia failed to fight the imperial army. It still is.

"Your Excellency, the Mongol cavalry is here. Choibalsan with a cavalry corps. At this time, an officer walked into the command headquarters and reported that as a vassal of the Soviets, Choibalsan naturally could not stay out of the situation.

"Tell the 1st Tank Division that I don't want to hear this man's name again." General Shouichi Terauchi sneered and said that he didn't care about this kind of fly-level opponent at all.

And so it wasn't long after. On a wasteland south of Chita, a perfect tusha was staged.

More than 10,000 descendants of Genghis Khan, although the same guy who once humiliated the ancestors of the Soviet big brother has been kicked out of the ranks of their ancestors by the People's Party, they still wield their sabers as heroically as Batu swept through Eastern Europe. Then rushed forward without hesitation.

In front of them, more than 300 Japanese tanks were forming an offensive formation, crashing into Choibalshan and his cavalry like a torrent of steel, and the collision of steel and flesh made the Yang Feng's minions who were holding high-powered binoculars at a height of two thousand meters in the air boil.

"Ma, no movie can act out such a big scene, if you go back and let the film company make a movie of what we recorded, it will definitely be popular." One guy said excitedly.

Boss Yang didn't have the opportunity to come to the battlefield in person and enjoy the scene of the Japanese and Joseph killing flesh and blood, so he was naturally very unwilling, so he simply sent four high-altitude reconnaissance planes with the most advanced video equipment to make a video tape for him, these reconnaissance planes were even arrogant to fly at a low altitude of two or three thousand meters, and the huge panda on the fuselage was their safety guarantee, even the Japanese fighters next to them did not dare to come and drive them away, for fear of disturbing Yang Feng's Yaxing.

Choibalsan below them is not in such a good mood, in fact, this old friend of the Chinese people is now about to cry, his Mongolian iron horsemen, being tusha like dogs by Japanese tanks, looking at the pieces of warriors who were torn apart by shells, and then crushed into flesh by tanks, his heart was dripping blood.

In particular, one of his closest old subordinates was rushing to a tank and bravely slashing it down with a sabre.

Comrade Choibalshan had the desire to hide his face and weep.

Of course, the end of this warrior is needless to say, the Type 3 medium tank, the turret rotation easily swept him under the horse, and then as soon as the car was reversed, the cargo could only be shoveled from the ground with a shovel.

And there are actually countless such guys on this battlefield, these stupid cavalrymen, just like their Polish counterparts in distant Europe, and of course their fate is no different.

"Retreat, retreat!" Looking at the Japanese tanks that were ruthlessly roulin their own cavalry like an angry bull rushing into the crowd, Choibalshan knew that the result of this battle had come out, he shouted in pain, then turned his horse's head, and ran first under the protection of more than a dozen guards, as soon as he ran, the cavalry behind him immediately herded the sheep, and the commander of the Japanese First Armored Division on the opposite side sneered contemptuously, and continued to run over the tank group that he had only lost one.

The Mongol cavalry was the only support General Apanashchenko had received before the fall of Chita, although the reinforcements were almost completely wiped out before they could reach the battlefield.

He held out at his front headquarters for ten days, until part of the Soviet troops in Central Asia and Siberia arrived and a new line of defense was established in Ulan-Ude, leaving behind the troops of the front who were struggling to support him, and then withdrew by train to Ulan-Ude.

Soon after he left, the Soviet defense line in Chita collapsed, and countless Soviet soldiers fled to Ulan-Ude in the bitter cold.

In this unprecedented scale of the war, the Soviet army lost 400,000 people, half of which surrendered, and the Japanese army's losses also exceeded 150,000, more than half of these 150,000 people were folded in Chita, but to the surprise of all parties, after occupying Chita, the Japanese army did not continue to attack Ulan-Ude as speculated by the outside world, but stopped at Chita, and then divided its troops to the south to take Kulen, or Ulaanbaatar.

Choppershan, who had returned from a crushing defeat, was unable to make any effective resistance in the face of the Japanese troops who were killing him in the ass, so he abandoned Cullen and fled to Ulan-Ude with a few hundred remnants.

In this battle, the Japanese army got everything they wanted, despite their heavy losses, and the entire Soviet Far East, except for a lonely fortress of Vladivostok, fell into Japanese hands, and even the Soviet troops on Sakhalin Island simply surrendered to the Japanese in the south after learning of the fall of Chita.

"What are the Japanese doing here?" In his private estate in New York, Yang Feng said with some puzzlement while looking at the battlefield video tapes sent by a special plane from China, according to his prediction, the Japanese army would at least take Ulan-Ude and then reach Lake Baikal.

"Do you think it's easy for the Japanese to fight in this kind of weather? They were able to achieve such a result, all relying on the sufficient preparation time of more than a month, otherwise in such weather, there would be no need to fight, and the light would freeze to death, plus the cities in the Far East of the Soviet Union are all along the Heilongjiang and Ussuri rivers near China, and the Japanese army's attack distance is short, so they dare to start a war in this weather.

Just look at what their soldiers are wearing, and you can see how much preparation the Japanese army has made, but in this kind of weather, attacking a well-established defense system thousands of kilometers away from their rear is no different from suicide.

The Japanese are very smart, they will accept it when they see it, seize the Far East by surprise attack, completely eliminate their worries, wait for the snow to melt in two months, all the preparations are completed, and then launch an attack on Ulan-Ude, and see them go south to capture Kulen, they will know what these guys want to do, they want to cut off the railway line from Kulen to the north after the beginning of spring, and then put the Soviet army in Ulan-Ude to the end. Jiang Baili, who came to the United States with him, immediately saw the strategic intentions of the Japanese army.

"I don't think so, they may be waiting for Xiaoxi, but looking at the situation, Xiaoxi's thoughts seem to be very impure." Yang Feng said with a smile.

Indeed, now almost the whole world is expecting the German army and their allies to be able to move east and west at the same time, partnering with Roulin Joseph, but half a month has passed, and there has been no movement on the Western Front, not to mention that the German army launched an attack on the Soviet Union, that is, there was no transfer to the Eastern Front, and even sent five more divisions to Rommel in North Africa, which could not help but surprise everyone.

"He's going to sell the rhythm of the Japanese!" Yang Feng couldn't help but sigh with emotion, but not necessarily, Xiaoxi is still very righteous, and besides, if the German army attacks the Soviet Union in such a season, he is willing, and his generals cannot agree. (To be continued......)
