It's almost the New Year, especially at the end of the year, there are a lot of things, March has been very desperate, and it is still maintaining ten thousand more, and I hope you will support it here, vote for the monthly ticket, recommend the vote, thank you!!
The battle, at this moment can no longer continue, Zhukov received all the planes, and it was not the opponent's air defense, but in the air battle, completely defeated, and he has not yet recovered from his own shock, and then the tank troops were hit by destruction, only more than 200 of the thousand tanks escaped, and now they are slowly retreating in the woods, and they do not even dare to leave the woods.
The losses of cavalry and infantry were thousands, and even before the enemy's position could get closer, the offensive was crushed. In other places, it was much the same, there were no tanks, but the non-stop bombardment of the opponent's artillery made the troops crippled in the march, and they were already unable to attack, so they asked to retreat.
"Withdraw it......"
Zhukov said weakly.
He suddenly became much older, and it seemed that the years had suddenly gone fast at this moment, allowing him to directly span twenty or thirty years.
The enemy has planes and is strong in combat, more than 300 bombers and dozens of fighters were shot down by the other side, and according to reports, the other side has less than 100 planes.
These, there was no wind at all before, and it wasn't until a few days ago that I knew that the other party had a plane, but I didn't know what Lu Dao was like. And today, he was beaten bald by the other party's plane, and according to the report, not even a single one was shot down.
The sudden appearance of the plane and the strong combat effectiveness are even considered, but the opponent's plane can easily destroy the tank. Let thousands of tanks have no way but to flee for their lives, and they don't even have the ability to fight back. It's shocking! He didn't know what other means the other party had now.
The raid sneaked in, his own camp was useless, and the losses were so huge, but even the other party's people were beautiful and grabbed one. Even the corpse, the other party calmly took it away. This is the gap, it's not that your own soldiers can't do it, but that the other party is too powerful.
The other side has such force, attacking, it's a joke.
He sat there decadent for a few minutes, his eyes lit up suddenly, he raised his head and looked at the map and ordered: "Inform all troops to assemble at the border, the enemy has such combat effectiveness." It is impossible not to attack, and we must be prepared to defend, otherwise, once the opponent breaks through our defense, it will be difficult to control, and the defense will be a feast for us to crush the enemy's attack! ”
"Yes!"
The generals looked solemn and shouted their orders. The frustration of defeat did not spread, and was dispelled by Zhukov's expression.
And Zhukov was, after all, a famous general. How could he be defeated by defeat? Most of the short-term frustration is to blame yourself for not having enough information and not knowing yourself and your opponent. And he knows better that the enemy will attack, otherwise, he will not show his weapons.
He was right, but he didn't. The other side did not attack, but mobilized his forces so that there could be a bigger battle.
Zhukov did not wait for the withdrawn troops to make a detailed report, but directly sent a telegram to the bearded man to report the situation here in detail. At the same time, he reported his own defense plan, thinking that the other side might be trying to drag down the army with hunger, but he did not rule out the possibility of attacking.
When the bearded man received the report, he knew that the enemy, how could he give up the attack? The opponent's army has all withdrawn into Mongolia, and it is obvious that they are putting on a posture and are about to compete with themselves. And he failed to take advantage of the situation to recapture the Mongols, he has already lost the lead, and now, he must turn to the defensive.
As for the Japanese, he no longer counted on it, the other side did not fulfill its promises, did not launch an attack together, at the beginning, it was fierce, and when the advance army returned to help, it died down and pushed all the troubles on himself.
According to his understanding of Dong Ku's advance army, he knew that as long as this army did not make a move, it would not stop, and there was absolutely no possibility of peace talks.
Originally, he thought that the advance army was fighting with the Japanese at a critical moment, and he would sit down and talk to him, so as to concentrate on dealing with Japan, but he didn't expect Dong Ku to be so decisive and did not destroy the Japanese army, so he turned around and returned to help, and set up a position to fight.
In just half a month after his return, he has pushed the whole of Siberia into a desperate situation, and now, new planes, which were not even used in the war with the Japanese, have been revealed.
He frowned and carefully scrutinized it, and found that he could only hold on, but Zhukov had lost his fighting spirit, and he had to replace Zhukov. It's just that it's not suitable yet, the morale of the army has fluctuated, and it will cause even more trouble if it comes to changing the battle again.
Having figured out the various joints, he ordered the supplies to go straight to the Transbaikal Military District as soon as possible, and the Far East and Siberia were suspended, and the food of the army of the Transbaikal Military District must be guaranteed, otherwise, without the attack of the other side, repeated defeats, coupled with hunger, the troops will mutiny.
After receiving the telegram from the Mulin, Zhukov let out a long breath of turbidity, and he knew that for the time being, his head could still be saved, but if the defense failed again, he did not doubt that military law would be enforced on the battlefield.
He had just breathed a sigh of relief when the captain who had sneaked up on the photo in the woods had reported that he wanted to see him in person.
Zhukov did not hesitate and directly ordered him to enter the command without exception.
Soon, the captain walked into the command headquarters with his camera.
"You said you took a picture of the other party's plane?"
"Yes, Comrade General!"
"Okay, rinse it out immediately, and I'll apply for your merits!"
Zhukov was overjoyed. With photos, at least I know what is the difference between the kind of aircraft that can take off and land directly, which has not yet been started here, and the shape designed by the other party, even if the detailed parameters cannot be known, the general direction is already there, and it will be much easier for development.
These are enough to reduce the accusation of one's defeat, at least understand the other party's means, right?
Zhukov withdrew, the whole battle was only more than three hours, the battle was over, but the corpses, he withdrew his own troops The other party did not pursue, and let the retreating army bring back all the corpses and wounded on the battlefield, leaving only the wreckage of tanks all over the ground.
Dong Ku did not pursue, not not not chasing, but still put on a defensive posture to cover the sneaking of Sun Tao's army.
At this time, one of Sun Tao's troops had rushed to the location of Liu Zhong's exit, and the other army was advancing along the edge of the Gobi, along the route of Soviet Russia's sneaking in, and from the vicinity of Xinjiang, where Soviet Russia had entered, to raid out of the city, and prepare to encircle Siberia.
Dong Ku is going to have a big battle, eat the main force of hundreds of thousands of the opponent in one fell swoop, occupy Siberia, and then advance with light cavalry, parachute into the area between the Ural Mountains and the Aral Sea, build a defensive line, and completely occupy all the areas south of the Ural Mountains.
Qu Jungang and Yu Ke attacked along the route that Liu Zhong walked, Qu Jungang was still in command, his troops were already huge, but most of them were still training, just like that, the two divisions he led were already four divisions, which made Yu Lei and them envious.
However, these classmates did not take Qu Jungang cheaply, and a lot of the recruits he recruited were divided, and they were all left in the rear for training as a supplement for the next big war.
The Li Zhuang recruited in Shanhaiguan, Qu Jungang directly gave him the division commander and asked him to form a regiment with the selected elites. But the number of this regiment is the number of divisions, and after just a few days of training, these people were pulled onto the battlefield, no, they are marching with the army.
They, on foot, didn't have the opportunity to travel through the jungle on armored vehicles, infantry vehicles, and self-propelled artillery, including modified chain-track trucks. They carried much more on their backs than other warriors, purely camping.
The reason why Qu Jungang asked them to follow the army was that they were all soldiers and could fight immediately, and they could immediately go up when they fought, and the other was that these people were picked out and could be fought if they were pulled out.
Let him follow, Qu Jun just wanted them to follow the army, get used to the rules and regulations of the advance army as soon as possible, the habits of the team, the password, the execution, etc., and also get close to the battle, so that they can get back to the feeling when they were soldiers in a short time.
The entire army was fully mechanized, and the convoy divided into four columns was so inconspicuous in the dense forest. At this time, the troops of Soviet Russia did not realize that such a large snowfall, the other side still dared to march in the deep mountains, and it was a large army, you must know that such a large snow, now the use of skis and snowboards, people's physical strength will also be sharply consumed, and it is extremely difficult for the army to walk in the mountains and forests.
Moreover, they believed that the other side was sent to the border by plane, so those areas that were not conducive to the movement of the army and could not transport supplies were not heavily guarded. And the small force, long before the approach of the large army, was annihilated, and even the news could not be sent.
Marching in the mountains and forests made the roar of the engine much smaller, and if you don't get close to the army, you really don't know that there is such a huge army crossing the forest sea in Ludao. The Russians would not have imagined that their enemies would have changed their trucks to chain-gauge trucks, pulling fuel and supplies, and the army would cross the forest in areas where trucks could not pass.
The tank, circling between the trees, did not move fast, but it did not stop. Liu Zhong walked this route, and the density of the woods was not difficult because of the tall trees and the scarcity of small trees and shrubs.
By this time, they had already marched for more than two hours, and it would be dark in three hours at most, and they would also arrive at their first stop, which was Novokuznetsk, the town where Liu Zhong had burned down the granary. Here, it is necessary to occupy, here is the only road to Central Asia, to Novosibirsk. All Qu had to do was to take control of this mountain range and block all the enemies on the Siberian side, all the way to the train track in the Ural Mountains.
There will be no fighting, but it will start again in a moment. Qu Jungang's army of the road, when attacking Novokuznetsk, returned to the edge of the mountain range, marched rapidly, and quickly attacked every town along the way, all the way to Siberia.
And at this time, not to mention here in Novokuznetsk, even Zhukov and the surrounding troops did not expect that the enemy's army had already entered and was preparing for the attack. (To be continued......)
