Chapter 395: Fierce Battle of Rocklin City (5)
"That's great, let's go." Tall and strong.
Dong Guicheng nodded: "It's okay, let's go over now, look for comrades on the road, the more people we have, the better our chances of winning." ”
Just as the brave Wehrmacht soldiers were besieging the city of Rokelin, far away outside the city of Omsk in the Central Continent, the commander of the Fifth Army of the Guards Army, Du Guangting, was looking at the city of Omsk not far away with a telescope. "How's the situation with our army?" Du Guangting didn't look back, and asked the staff officer behind him directly.
The staff officer immediately replied: "Commander, the situation is not optimistic, although we have occupied two-thirds of the city, but our losses are not small, and the information just sent back says that the Cossack army used a kind of 'Molotov cocktail' to cause us to lose a lot of tanks. ”
"Cocktails?" Du Guangting smiled: "What kind of wine is so powerful that it can fight a chariot?" ”
The staff officer said: "This is the name given to it by the Cossack army, in fact, it is a kind of incendiary bomb, using people close to the chariot to drop bombs, there are too many gaps in the corners of the city, and the machine guns on the chariot are also invincible, and the body of the chariot is often hit and burned, although people can escape, the chariot must be destroyed." ”
Du Guangting frowned for a long time and said: "Let the infantry march on the chariot with submachine guns, and you won't be afraid to cover the chariot with them." ”
The staff officer said: "But the casualties of the infantry in this way may be very large. ”
Du Guangting said: "This is the only way, otherwise our chariot losses will be too great, how can we fight the battle in the future?" We are still almost 700 kilometers away from the Ural Pass. ”
"Yes, Captain." The staff officer had no choice but to convey the order.
At this moment, Lin Yangchun sat in the command headquarters, squinting his eyes and staring at the map on the wall, the map was densely painted with red and blue arrows, marking the intricate situation of the enemy and us, and now the battle lines of the two sides are intertwined, although the Chinese army has been advancing, but the resistance of the Cossack army is also very tenacious, and every step forward has paid huge casualties.
Lin Yangchun suddenly stood up and said, "Answer the phone for me." ”
Gao Deyu, the chief of staff of the military region who was standing aside, raised his head and said in surprise: "Where to pick up?" ”
Lin Yangchun looked at the map and said, "Pick up Your Majesty, I want to talk to Your Majesty directly." ”
Fang Xiaoyu's phone was quickly connected, and when he heard that it was Lin Yangchun's call, Fang Xiaoyu immediately answered: "Old Lin, what's going on?" The battle didn't go well? ”
Lin Yangchun said: "Young master, it is not smooth, but there is no problem with victory, I want to ask the young master, if my million-strong army suffers more than thirty percent casualties, can the young master agree." ”
"Thirty percent casualties? Isn't that 300,000? Fang Xiaoyu was a little surprised: "Do you need so many casualties?" ”
Lin Yangchun said: "Yes, now that the enemy is hiding in the city, we need street battles city by city, and the crisis on the Far Eastern front, we can't fight slowly, casualties are inevitable." ”
Fang Xiaoyu pondered for a while and said, "No matter what, the casualties of thirty percent are too high, and I will never allow it." Aren't we just fighting this battle, this is just the beginning, if we cripple the troops now, what will we do in the future? ”
Lin Yangchun said: "If the young master doesn't want to suffer too many casualties, there is a way, but I want to borrow a troop from the young master." ”
Fang Xiaoyu said: "Which army do you want, tell me and I'll transfer it to you." ”
Lin Yangchun said firmly: "I want the third army of the Iron Army." ”
Fang Xiaoyu was surprised: "Your ears are really long, you know the troops I just trained." ”
Lin Yangchun said: "I also knew by accident, young master, only when this army joins the attack can it be possible to reduce casualties." ”
Fang Xiaoyu pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll transfer it to you, but you have to give me a packing ticket, and the casualties must not exceed one percent." ”
Lin Yangchun said: "I guarantee that the casualties will not exceed 100,000." ”
Fang Xiaoyu put down the phone, immediately picked up another special line phone and ordered: "Send a telegram to Fu Mingcheng, and the iron-blooded Third Army will immediately return to the Eastern Continent to carry out special tasks." ”
Lin Yangchun slowed down the offensive after Fang Xiaoyu agreed, and the troops were no longer in a hurry to attack, but fought slowly and methodically in the streets. As soon as the Chinese offensive unfolded, the Cossacks felt the pressure, they had never been trained in street fighting, and compared to these well-trained Chinese troops, they were almost like novices.
The arrogance of the Cossack army was quickly suppressed, and the quality of the weapons was very different, and the casualties of the Cossack army began to rise in a straight line, so Marshal Kolchak immediately sent an application to Alexander III by cable telegram, claiming that he could quickly make a breakthrough in the Far East, but the rear must be stable, and hoped that His Majesty could send reinforcements to the front line in the Central Continent to help them stabilize the front.
Alexander III also felt justified and quickly drew a large number of reserves from Katerinburg in the Ural Pass to replenish the front, hoping to hold out until Kolchak's victory.
The Cossack army increased its troops in a big way, but Lin Yangchun was not moved, but still fought unhurriedly, with effective tactical tactics, not seeking the speed of advancement, only seeking to consume a large number of opponent's troops, and at this time, the third army of the Iron and Blood Army had been delivered to the Eastern Continent by a large number of transport ships, and was using the train to rush to the front line of the Central Continent day and night, and a larger-scale battle was about to start.
A week later, the Third Army of the Iron-Blooded Army, which was covered in dust, arrived at the battlefield in the Central Continent, and the army commander Xu Xiangnan immediately reported to the headquarters: "Report, the Third Army of the Iron-Blooded Army has arrived, please instruct the chief." ”
Lin Yangchun said with a smile: "It's good to come, sit down first, and I'll tell you about the situation first." ”
A staff officer hurriedly poured a cup of hot water for Xu Xiangnan, many officers in the Guards came from the Iron Army, so the relationship between the Guards and the Iron Blood officers and soldiers was very harmonious, and they didn't need to be polite.
Lin Yangchun smiled: "I heard that you have conducted a very peculiar training in the Savage Continent, can you tell me about it?" ”
Xu Xiangnan said: "Are you talking about parachute training?" This is indeed a peculiar kind of training, which is to take us to the sky in a bomber, and then jump from a height of several hundred meters with a parachute on our backs. ”
"Jump?" The staff officer who had just brought the boiling water was startled when he heard it, and with a shake of his hand, he spilled the boiling water on his hand, which made him shake his hand vigorously. Although he was burned, he still didn't forget to ask: "Wouldn't you fall to your death if you jumped down a few hundred meters high?" ”
Xu Xiangnan said with a smile: "We are carrying a parachute, and we can use the parachute to land smoothly." ”
Lin Yangchun said with a smile: "Okay, this ability is good, I have a very difficult combat mission here, I don't know if you can complete it." ”
Xu Xiangnan said: "Before we came, Your Majesty had already instructed us to obey the chief's arrangement, as long as the chief gave us the task, we will definitely complete it." ”
