Shi Neng Zhi is just 25 years old this year, and young people of his age are still enjoying the joy of life, watching movies, listening to music, bubble bars, and then bringing a few girls, that hi skin.

But Shi Neng Zhi is different from them, he didn't catch up with that kind of good time, and soon after he was born, Shi Neng Zhi became an orphan, and was left on the side of the road by his parents who didn't know if he was extremely ruthless or if he really couldn't help it.

In that year in China, there were countless such things, and babies like them were unfortunate, God gave them birth to this world, but irresponsibly deprived them of the possibility of continuing to grow up. However, Shi Nengzhi was lucky, unlike those who were also abandoned, when his little face was frozen and bruised and was about to leave this world, a pair of thick hands hugged him.

"Amitabha, create evil, create evil."

As you can tell from the mantra, it is a monk who picks up Shakti, please note that this is definitely not a master, but a wandering monk who has eaten the last meal and has no next meal. In this cold winter, the hungry monk had just turned into some leftovers when he ran into a half-frozen Shi Nengzhi.

is also a fallen person at the end of the world, and the monk You Fang picked up the Buddha and began to raise him, and gave him a Dharma name that he could hold. Of course, at first, this was not a legal name, but a monk's self-ridicule, who let him pick up a foodie? Therefore, being able to hold should actually be "able to eat". Later, when the little monk grew up, he felt that he could eat this Dharma name was really a bit of something, so the old monk changed it to "can hold", as the so-called whether you can hold it, and if you can hold it, you will be a monk.

Of course. The little monk Nengzhi did not have a deep understanding of Buddhism. The reason why he became a monk was to eat completely with a mouthful of food. Before the teens. He has wondered more than once whether there really is a world of Elysium in this world, especially on a night of ice and snow, the old monk who has raised him for more than ten years is ready to enter a large temple to place an order, but he was beaten with a stick, and finally died of poverty and illness in a broken thatched hut. To be able to hold on to the so-called Elysium is completely dead.

Good people are not rewarded, and the old monk does not say that he has done good deeds for a lifetime. But finally saved a life, as the so-called saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and now? And then the egg?

After hastily burying the master, Shi Neng Zhi began his wandering career, begging all the way all over the country, tasting endless bitterness and bitterness. Anyway, I don't believe in everything that the master taught, and I can't finish this life, so I don't care what the next life is, be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day!

If there is no accident, he will be an ungodly wandering monk in this life. Maybe someday in many years, Nengzhi will also die silently on a snowy night like his master.

But the Buddha doesn't seem to want to let Nengzhi go through this world like this. In September 1927, the hungry Neng Zhi arrived at a place that could change his fate - Wenjia City, Liuyang. There, the hungry and dying were able to join a special group, the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, like many local young people or children.

In the beginning, Nengzhi had little interest in the so-called doctrines and ideals, let alone understanding. He regarded joining the army as a profession, just like the traveling monk he used to beg for rice. From Wenjia City to Sanwan, then to Jinggangshan, and then to Ruijin, followed by the tragic Long March.

This road is a road that can sustain change, he has changed from a fake monk who has been a monk for a day to a real revolutionary with firm revolutionary beliefs and unyielding will!

In January 1939, after graduating from the fourth phase of Kang University, Nengzhi, who was originally going to return to the front line of the battle against the Japanese invaders, suddenly received a new order and was sent to the Soviet Union for further study together with a large number of outstanding students of the same period.

The Soviet Union is the holy land of the revolution and the most beautiful place in the world. Let's just say that Noh went to the Soviet Union with a pilgrimage mentality. In the Soviet Union, he began an intense and arduous career of study.

There are many problems that can be sustained, first of all, the language barrier, for a young monk who can only be regarded as literate, Russian is as difficult to understand as a book from heaven. The second is that the living habits are completely different, although he can hold on to eating and not paying attention to it at all, but Maozi's eating really makes him uncomfortable. Finally, there is the atmosphere of the Soviet Union, which is different from the neat and serious of Yan'an, Moscow has the unique openness of the Slavic nation, and the little monk who has never spoken a few words to a woman in his life is really embarrassed!

The first year was difficult, but after getting used to the Russian language and getting used to the enthusiasm peculiar to the Slavic people, it was a pleasant one. He was like a sponge absorbing knowledge.

In 1940, the happiest year of his life, he was admitted to the Frunze Military Academy and began to study the world's most advanced military theory, and he was very optimistic that it would not be long before he could bring this valuable knowledge back to the motherland, arm more proletariat with this knowledge, defeat the Japanese invaders, and create a Datong society.

However, his dream of holding on was shattered in June 1941, when the Great Patriotic War broke out when he began his second semester of study. At that moment, he knew for the first time that imperialism would not die and that the tension and cruelty of the struggle between the enemy and the enemy were unknown.

During the first half of the Great Patriotic War, he spent the first half of his life at the Academy, where he and other cadets studied freshly learned combat examples. At a time when the Chinese people were still fighting the invaders with broadswords and spears, the Great Patriotic War revolved around tanks, airplanes, and artillery, and this was no longer a traditional plane war, but a three-dimensional war under new technological conditions.

It is an eye-opener for him to hold, but he thinks that such a realization is far from enough, and it is conceivable that as the struggle of the proletariat against imperialism becomes more and more intense, the threat facing China in the future will not be Japan, which is the best of the great powers. What is the use of a broadsword and spear in the event of a fight against such a terrible enemy as Germany?

He couldn't wait to learn about the war and experience the battle firsthand, so he wrote reports and applied again and again. Request an internship on the front lines of the most dangerous ones. However, these reports and applications have been returned again and again. In that half a year. It's so depressing to be able to hold on.

Entering 1942. The situation changed, and the Red Army, in order to make up for the losses of the previous year, and to rapidly increase its military strength, inevitably needed to continue to expand its strength, and the shortage of officers was very large.

In desperation, the Soviet Red Army had no choice but to allow some officers with command and combat experience to graduate early in advanced courses and advanced seminars. A considerable number of officers who had been implicated in the fall of Stalin were able to return to combat posts, which was considered to have solved the urgent needs of the Red Army.

But all this has little to do with being able to hold on, he is not an officer of the Red Army. Naturally, it is impossible to be graduated early. It's just that this gave him a glimmer of hope, he thought that he had combat and command experience, and hoped to intern in advance.

This time, Neng's request was granted, and in February 1942, he was approved to go to the 5th Division of the 27th Infantry Corps of the 135th Army of the Ukrainian Front for "internship". The internship is equivalent to helping with chores, and he can only be a deputy platoon commander in an infantry platoon when he is already a battalion commander in the Eighth Route Army, and the Soviet Red Army only awarded him the rank of second lieutenant.

But he was not disappointed, in his opinion, it was rare to be able to experience the battlefield, as for the rank of Shenma. He didn't care at all. Following the 135th Infantry Division, Neng Zhi was engaged in the battle of Kiev to relieve the siege. As the main force of the Ukrainian Front, the Fifth Army was the main force that stormed the German 6th Army.

Let's take a look at the memories that can be held: "On March 12, 1942, the battle began, and I felt the power of modern warfare for the first time, and the shelling lasted for half an hour, which was almost unimaginable in China, and the shells fired during this time were enough for our 115th Division to fight for a year. ”

However, he also expressed his admiration for the German soldiers who were able to hold their positions in the face of such heavy shelling: "Even as an enemy, I have to say that this is a group of extremely tenacious bandits, who were able to hold their positions under the repeated impact of our artillery and tanks." If you change to the Scraping People's Army, at the very first moment of the start of the shelling, they will collapse! ”

After the day's fighting, he wrote only one line in his diary: "The gap is staggering!" ”

It should be said that the performance of the 135th Infantry Division of the Red Army was not outstanding, and under the stubborn resistance of the German army, the progress was not great and the casualties were heavy, which can be kept in the diary and there are relevant records: "Today the company commander and the deputy battalion commander were sacrificed, the enemy's resistance was extremely fierce, we must constantly repel the German infantry, they are invested at any cost in order to regain the position, and their repeated counter-charges must be completely crushed in order to truly occupy their positions." This often takes a lot of time and pays a heavy price. After a long day of fierce fighting, we finally stood firm, but there was nothing to be happy about, we were still far from the goal set before the war, in front of us was a low-lying muddy field, it was impossible to pass through it intact, not only the terrain was not suitable for tank action, but more importantly, the defensive fire of the German devils was fierce! ”

"It was covered with a dense range of anti-tank guns and anti-aircraft guns, and any tank that tried to get close would be destroyed without mercy, and that morning, our army lost five tanks in this place alone!"

In order to help the 135th Infantry Division break through the German lines, Timoshenko transferred a valuable tank battalion reinforcement, the battalion commander Salvinov recalled: "After a difficult trek, my battalion finally arrived at the battlefield and was ready for a strong attack, but the situation was even more difficult than expected, this muddy field was covered with countless mines, and the demining equipment of the sappers was still on the railway line dozens of kilometers away, and the chaotic organization brought too much trouble and unnecessary sacrifices!" ”

Nochi also recalled: "The road was very difficult to walk, and we didn't get into the mud when we stepped down, and we had to exhaust all our strength with every step forward...... We took the bags of blasters out of the dead wooden boxes, tied them up with ropes, hung them around our necks or tied them to our backs, preferably on our backs, because there was a stretch of road where we couldn't walk at all, and we had to crawl through the mud......"

After a long day of struggling in the mud, the engineer units finally cleared the mines, and soon the tanks were back on the battlefield, and the Red Army's signature artillery bombardment was once again in full swing. Timoshenko unexpectedly prepared for an hour, firing more than 30,000 shells. In the words of Noh Su: "For three whole days, the buzzing in my ears could not go away." Not a single tree or stone could be found on the hillside where the German devils were stationed. The entire hillside was cut off a foot-thick layer. ”

Under a powerful fire strike. The German defensive line finally collapsed, and when the mud monkey-like Nengzhi and his Soviet friends rushed into the German position, there was hardly a single way to find a living. Not to mention that such firepower can be maintained, even the Red Army itself was frightened. Of course, it was the Germans who were even more shocked, and after their carefully constructed defensive line was crushed by the invincible artillery fire of the Red Army, the last of their inner assertions were also crushed. They already did not believe that they would be able to hold back the Red Army in the next battle. Their morale is plummeting!

Reichenau no longer had any choice, and if he did not want to be broken through by the Fifth Army, then reinforcements would have to be made. After five days of fierce fighting, the 213th Guards Division was finally transferred.

When it was Zhukov's turn to show his talents, his independent mechanized army immediately carried out a full mobilization, all tanks, armored vehicles and artillery were dragged out, and then they were thrown into battle.

The German defense line finally collapsed, similar to an avalanche effect, the German 6th Army was rushed in an instant, and the 29th Army was completely torn apart by Zhukov. And the 17th Army and the 55th Army, which had been hard against the Fifth Army for five days, were also reduced to powder in the wave of the Red Army's furious offensive!

When Timoshenko and Zhukov stood in front of the camera and shook hands, Kiev, which had been besieged for half a year, finally resumed direct contact with the outside world. When the photo of Zhukov and Timoshenko shaking hands and laughing made the front page headlines of Pravda, the entire Soviet Union cheered.

Well, maybe except for one person who didn't cheer, Tukhachevsky couldn't believe his eyes, when his main attack cluster was teased by the Germans and couldn't take care of himself, Timoshenko actually broke through the German defense line with two weak dissatisfied army groups, not only lifted the German encirclement and blockade of Kiev, but also annihilated nearly two armies of the German 6th Army, such a result was the first after the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, and even the previous defense of Bryansk could not be compared with it!

It is not that the number of enemies destroyed in the Battle of Bryansk was less than this time, but that Timoshenko annihilated the German army in formation, and the German 17th Army only ran out with two or three three-legged cats, and the remaining 29th Army and the 55th Army were also severely damaged, and one division of each was completely annihilated. And Bryansk was more like a crushing battle, and it did not annihilate the German army in a formation.

For a time, both Timoshenko and Zhukov became household names in the USSR, in fact they were already heroes, and the Politburo and the Military Commissariat had already decided to award them the Order of Lenin and the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. It can be seen how happy the Politburo is at this victory!

Tukhachevsky, however, was not happy at all, and according to the battle plan, he should have been the one who should have received these honors. His main attack cluster should be the protagonist, and it should be him who is on the front page of Pravda, and he will use this glorious victory to reclaim what belongs to him.

But this dream was completely ruined by Timoshenko and Zhukov, and while his main attacking force was still overwhelmed by the German lines, the weak feint did what he Tukhachevsky failed to do. Isn't that proof of his incompetence!

Tukhachevsky was completely unable to accept all this, let alone believe in the result, but all this was not subject to his will. When the encirclement of Kiev was broken, the Politburo and the Military Commission immediately adjusted their deployment, ordering the main offensive cluster in the north to stop the senseless assault and immediately turn to defense on the spot, and their task will become to consolidate the defensive line to block the German counterattack and buy time for the southern front troops to expand their gains.

According to the new operational plan of the Military Commission, the original main attack cluster will be turned into an impregnable wall, separating the German 11th and 17th armies from the Timoshenko cluster to the south. And the Timoshenko cluster turned to the main attack.

Where is the main attack? Naturally, it is to attack the puppet forces of Hungary, Romania and Yugoslavia around Kyiv, annihilate as many of these miscellaneous as possible, and completely crush the German siege of Kyiv!

It was from this moment that Tukhachevsky lost control of the campaign to relieve the siege of Kyiv, which would develop in depth in a situation that he did not want to see at all. The blow to him was self-evident.

However, at that time, none of the generals of the Red Army paid attention to Tukhachevsky's feelings, and for them this was a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions, seize the opportunity to annihilate the enemy more and make more achievements, this is the first place! As for Tukhachevsky, what is there to concern about this chief of the General Staff, who is already doomed to be eliminated?

It's just that neither Tukhachevsky nor other Red Army generals realized that the current war situation really did not fundamentally improve, although the encirclement of Kiev was lifted and part of the German army was annihilated, but the main force of the German army did not break its bones.

To tell the truth, the performance of the Red Army in the battle to relieve the siege was actually not ideal, and if it were not for the fact that Timoshenko and Zhukov seized the seven-inch hammer of the German army, and with the organizational ability and troop allocation of the Red Army in this campaign, the result would have been embarrassing. To put it bluntly, this time the Red Army was lucky!

But luck didn't always work, especially as the Germans were preparing a large-scale offensive operation. A large number of troops began to assemble in Gomel, and a new and larger battle was about to break out! (To be continued......)
