Chapter 540: The Decisive Battle Against Russia (4)

Now he is a little afraid to invest anymore, if the army in his hands is also wiped out, then Russia will be finished, in his understanding, street fighting should be the most able to offset the weapon advantage of the NATO coalition.

In this way, according to this theory, we should not go to the rescue and disperse all the troops to various cities, but if we do not go to the rescue, it will be bad for the morale of the army, not to mention that if Trotsky surrenders because there is no hope of support, it will set a very bad precedent for all the troops, even under the brainwashing of utopianism, in the face of the advanced equipment of the NATO coalition forces, I am afraid that there will be no fewer surrenders in the future, so he still feels that reinforcements will be carried out after thinking about it.

Although the combined forces of the Chinese Empire and the Cossack Empire exceeded 1.4 million people, they were divided into three offensive arrows, and the combined forces of the two countries encircling the main force of the Russian Southeastern Front in the middle were only 800,000, so Ulyanov transferred 1 million troops from the reserves, and under the cover of 2,000 aircraft, attacked the besieged Smolensk, intending to annihilate the middle route troops of the Sino-Colombian coalition army in one fell swoop and completely turn the tide of the war.

It's a pity that Ulyanov doesn't know what to do, Gao Deyu's plan is to encircle the point and send reinforcements, and he is waiting for reinforcements. With the offensive ability of the Imperial Chinese Army, Trotsky's army could not hold out for two days, and they were surrounded for half a month, because Gao Deyu tried to use them as bait to catch a big fish.

Gao Deyu is very clear about the difficulty of street fighting, in order to be able to wipe out the Russian army in the field, Gao Deyu did not immediately eliminate the 300,000 Southeast Front Army, in fact, for these besieged Russian troops, Gao Deyu really can't look down on them. The 1 million Russian army, under the command of the commander of the Western Front, Colonel-General Frunze, marched in unison to attack Smolensk. Gao Deyu was also a little stunned in the face of the Russian army's one million reinforcements, he was glad that he had caught a big enough fish, but he was worried that he would not be able to eat it.

Hesitation is not Gao Deyu's character, since the other party is coming, he naturally wants to entertain him, and taking advantage of the fact that the other party has not yet approached, Gao Deyu commanded the Chinese army and the Cossack army to jointly fight and launched a large-scale attack on Trotsky.

Trotsky was also quite aggrieved, the front line was retreating too quickly, and the Chinese army was advancing too fast, and before he could deploy his troops, he was surrounded in the small place of Smolensk. At this time, there were 300,000 Russian troops crowded in a ten-square-kilometer area of Smolensk, and the density of troops here was so high that every shell fired by the NATO coalition forces could achieve good results.

The Russian artillery could not be erected, and the infantry could only lie on the ground and wait to be bombed, no one could stand such mental torture, and after withstanding the bombardment of thousands of artillery pieces of the NATO coalition forces for half an hour, the Russian army, which already had a battalion size, ran over and surrendered in formation.

Gao Deyu did not dare to consume the bait too much, and after an hour of shelling, they stopped. Even so, more than 100,000 Russian troops were killed and wounded, and more than 100,000 people came to surrender, and Trotsky was completely honest.

After crippling the Russian Army's Southeast Front, Gao Deyu began to block the Western Front. Frunze's attack was very careful, and the army of one million marched in unison without any troops rushing forward, so that Gao Deyu could not find a chance to break through, so Gao Deyu decided to send two corps of the Guards, two armies of the Wehrmacht and five Cossack corps to form a large in-depth defense line that stretched for more than ten kilometers.

The Chinese Empire started on defense, and for the defense line of the NATO coalition forces, Frunze did not have a very good way to suppress it with superior forces. The terrain of Smolensk is narrow, which is not suitable for large corps operations, but in the face of the Southeastern Front, which is close at hand and waiting for rescue, Frunze can only fill it with the lives of the Russian army.

The battle was extremely fierce, the Russian army completely ignored its own casualties and rushed to the positions of the NATO coalition forces, wave after wave seemed to never stop, the barrels of the fighters were red, and a large number of Russian corpses were stacked in front of the position, and the Russian troops behind used the corpses of their companions to pile up positions and shoot at the NATO coalition forces.

However, the Russian high-level obviously miscalculated, and the Chinese Army with Type 18 assault rifles and machine guns in their hands was very fierce, so that those Russian soldiers armed with wave-made Garand semi-automatic rifles could not raise their heads, and the fierce artillery suppression of the Chinese Empire killed and wounded a large number of unobstructed Russian follow-up troops on the way to attack.

With more than 70,000 casualties in one day, Frunze shuddered at such a report, but he had no choice, utopian Russia may seem fair and beautiful to others, but Frunze knew very well that this country full of autocracy was more violent than those of the imperial state.

If he could not save Trotsky's troops, he was destined to go to court-martial, and at worst he could not escape being shot, so he could only harden his heart and continue to attack and use his lives to build a way forward, to consume the enemy's seemingly never-ending ammunition.

While Frunze was attacking head-on, he did not know that the 400,000 Chinese army, which was the attack group from the north, was turning southward, bypassing Safonovo and Yaltsevo and advancing to Orsha on the Dnieper.

"General, fifty kilometers to our rear, a large enemy force has been spotted." A herald reported to Frunze out of breath.

"What?" The teacup in Frunze's hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound, but fortunately, the cup used by the Russian army was made of metal, so it did not fall apart. Such a gaffe showed how much Frunze's heart was shaken, and he immediately understood that his army of one million had fallen into a well-arranged trap.

"Immediately order the rearguard unit to turn around and search and advance to the west to find out the details of the enemy's forces." In this case, Frunze could only give the order, and then he ordered the attacking troops to slow down and wait until the situation was clear.

Gao Deyu had already seen Frunze's reaction, and after the other party suspended the attack, Gao Deyu immediately secretly transferred 200,000 troops from the front line and launched a general attack on Trotsky, who had not dared to move in the encirclement. This time it was really ready for a decisive battle, and the NATO coalition forces not only used all the artillery they could use, but also dispatched all the bomber groups that had been hidden in the snow.

The encircled Russian Southeastern Front was immediately covered by all-round firepower, the so-called recruits are afraid of artillery, veterans are afraid of machine guns, this argument is probably because the accuracy of the artillery is poor, and the trajectory is easy to judge, and the veterans can judge the landing point of the shells by listening to the sound with experience.

However, this experience did not apply to this offensive, because the density of shells and aerial bombs was so high that shells and bombs of various calibers and weights were constantly falling on almost all the land, so that even the veterans could not avoid it.

A sharp screech that had never been heard before sounded from the sky, and the Russian soldiers looked up in amazement to find a single-engine light plane diving straight down from the sky. Many Russian soldiers thought that it was a Chinese Air Force plane shot down by their own side, and they couldn't help but cheer, but they soon realized that something was wrong.

The plane, which had descended to 4,000 meters, opened the speed brake, and the speed of the plane dropped sharply, and before the Russian soldiers could react, a large black bomb fell off from under the belly of the plane, and the plane took advantage of the moment of weight reduction, raised the nose of the plane, and flew into the distance.

The huge bomb fell straight down on the ammunition depot near the heavy artillery position, and the one-ton bomb smashed through the one-meter-thick concrete roof with strong kinetic energy and exploded in the ammunition pile. The violent explosion made the earth tremble, and a fiery red mushroom cloud rose from the direction of the ammunition depot, frightening the nearby Russian troops to lie down.

This is the precision bombing effect of the albatross dive bomber, after the assembly of the first kind of ground-penetrating bomb of the Chinese Air Force, those reinforced concrete fortifications completely lost their effect, under the precision bombing of the albatross bomber, the Russian army's fortifications were destroyed one after another, and the Russian army in the encirclement has completely lost its support.

The Russian soldiers, who did not have many underground fortifications left, were considered to have fallen into bad luck, and the increasing casualties completely destroyed their psychological defenses, and after Trotsky was accidentally killed by a 500-kilogram aerial bomb, the Southeastern Front began to surrender in formation. Gao Deyu didn't expect that before he could use ground troops to attack, the other party had already surrendered.

At this time, Gao Deyu did not know what to say, after receiving the report of the reconnaissance force, Frunze had ordered the reserve to send five corps in the direction of Orsha, and they were ordered to retake Orsha and protect the passage through the Dnieper River for the retreat of the army.

The unit found by the Russian army in the northern cluster is the 28th Army of the Wehrmacht, and his commander is Dong Guicheng, who captured the Cossack lieutenant general alive that year, and he is already in his forties at this time, he has already hung up the rank of lieutenant general with two flowers, this time as the vanguard of the northern cluster, he took the entire 28th Army day and night, and finally captured the unprepared Orsha in one fell swoop before the Russian army reacted.

The capture of Orsha cut off the retreat of the Russian army, but the 28th Army also faced a difficult environment, and in the face of the five armies of the Russian army rushing over, the 28th Army, which was at an absolute disadvantage, could only choose to defend on the spot. But this is not the worst, after learning that the NATO coalition forces want to completely annihilate the Western Front, the Russian base camp immediately began to draw troops along the Dnieper River to attack Orsha, in an attempt to eliminate this blocking force and rescue the trapped Western Front.

Frunze did not dare to press the whole army to Orsha, because the NATO Allied forces were found behind him and on the flanks, and after biting the Russian Western Front, all the NATO Allied forces that broke into the Russian territory pressed towards the narrow area between Smolensk and the Dnieper, and even the distant Iranian army intensified its offensive, favorably pinning down the troops of the Russian Caucasian Front.
