Chapter 293: Silence
The fire on the riverbank continued to burn for more than an hour, and eventually the oil burned out and the wood burned to ashes, and then slowly extinguished.
There were no corpses on the embankment, only more than a thousand steel wreckage. In front of the fortress, starting from more than two hundred meters, the thick plasma freezing zone of more than half a meter has been extending for nearly three hundred meters in the distance. Here, I'm afraid, at least 50,000 cavalry will be left.
The bloody strangulation failed to stop the pace of the Soviet Russian offensive, but the skyrocketing fire shattered the idea of occupying the other side of the river embankment and taking the tiger's head before the Russian army was civilized.
At the three-fork crossing, because 'Darenevchensk' was within the range of the enemy's shelling, the army did not dare to move, one was insufficient troops, and the other was that the Zhilu Road could not quickly occupy the three-fork crossing, so it would be guaranteed to fall into a difficult situation of supply, and once the supply line was bombarded, they would not be able to transport anything.
After receiving the telegram, the bearded man calmed down, he did not become angry, and stared at the map with gloomy eyes.
Shaoqing, he personally drafted a telegram to General Skoinovich, who was already about to arrive in 'Izbesk,' asking him to build a base in 'Izbesk,' leaving only an observation post in 'Dalenevchensk,' and the attack was canceled.
He knew very well that without the support of tank bombardment on the embankment, the artillery had no place in 'Dalenevchensk', and the attack, it was a joke. He knew that the road was going to open the river, and the enemy would also know the road, that is, the enemy would do his best to hold on for three or four days, waiting to run the ice platoon and block the offensive route.
He was very helpless about this, he completely underestimated the opponent's logistical support ability, originally thought that the sharp consumption would make the enemy's ammunition quickly starved, but after yesterday's frantic attack, the blocking on the opposite side did not stop, obviously, the ammunition they "funded" has not been exhausted.
And that's exactly what happened. Dong Ku's logistics are all snatching, although the bullets are still enough for a few days, but the endless burst of fire like yesterday, let alone five days, three days will not be able to last, by that time. Depp may not be able to easily block the galloping war horse when he goes into battle.
In the fortress, Dong Ku listened to the reports of the reconnaissance team one by one, and confirmed that the Soviet and Russian troops left the shelling range, retreated to the defense, and gave up the attack.
He believed that the bearded men of Soviet Russia were not stupid, and in this kind of refueling tactic, if they couldn't run out of ammunition here, then they would count a million lions. Nor can it conquer the tiger's head.
Even if Maxim runs out of bullets, he still has Depp, and AK, these two alone will be enough to block any ground attack without fire support, not to mention mortars and 75 anti-aircraft guns.
Besides, he also has a secret weapon, the mountains of Raohe. The pilots have gone through hundreds of hours of flight training, although the planes are old Japanese aircraft. But against the Soviet Russian troops, which did not have air defense, it would be their nightmare. It's just that Dong Ku can't attack now, and he doesn't have the ability to support the consumption of the offense, it's not a matter of money, but materials and ammunition that money can't buy.
The Japanese know the electric heating flight suit. How could Dong Ku not know the way? The pilot has already put on an electric flight suit, practicing the basic skills of flying in the deep mountains, and training enough pilots for the subsequent air power.
There. The tanks were also roaring, and in the silent mountains, the Japanese 97 tanks were running wildly in the snow, and a large number of drivers gathered here to prepare the drivers for the upcoming armored division.
At this point in the war, there is no need to wait for dawn to be silent. Soviet Russia retreated to the defense and gave up the attack, but it was obviously preparing for an attack when the weather warmed up and the ground was dry, and at that time, it would not only be limited to the tiger's head, after all, the deep mountains were passable, and it was no longer difficult to survive in the vast snowfields in winter.
Dong Ku didn't care about the actions of Soviet Russia, anyway, he didn't plan to attack, and the materials for the airport battle allowed him to relieve the pressure on logistics, which was enough for him to support until his military industry could keep up.
He ordered the battlefield to be cleaned overnight and the blood in front of the fortress was cleaned. You can't wait until you are civilized, because that will cause a plague.
The fighters learned from the experience of cleaning up the battlefield of the Anti-United Nations, and now made a lot of flat shovels and chisels, using grenades with gunpowder deducted as hammers, clanging in the firelight to pick at the plasma jelly, picking out bullets, grenades and other items that were not broken inside. They said that the fragments of plasma were transported to the river embankment and piled up on the ice on the river, waiting to be civilized, so that the plasma that was enough to stain the river water would go down with the waves.
At the embankment, the crowd was like ants, quickly disassembling the blown up tank. These tanks have exploded from the inside, and they have been broken into many pieces, and the joints are all burned and deformed, and they can only be dragged directly by horses, and they are slowly disintegrating before reaching the fortress.
Dong Ku was most happy about these tank wreckage. Although a lot of small pieces of iron were flying, a wreckage of fifteen tons of scrap iron can still be guaranteed, that is, nearly 20,000 tons of scrap iron will be in hand.
After a night of cleaning, even if the Soviet Russian troops saw the fires here, they did not launch an attack, but curled up back and licked their wounds, making the cleaning work extremely smooth.
By dawn, the supplies here were basically empty. In front of the fortress, except that the ground was still blood-red, the frozen slag was basically cleaned up, and all the warheads and scattered materials were recovered. Especially the bullet tip, most of the bullet tips only have the friction marks of the rifle line, and the shape is intact.
However, Dong Ku will not focus on this, he needs materials, not modified bullets.
At this time, after a day and a night, a large number of disassembled Soviet Russian artillery was transported by the army of horses and plows, and entered the industrial park of Harbin in a steady stream. These are about to be used, and they are also the foundation of Dong Ku's industrial system.
At this time, Harbin was very quiet, and so was Qiqihar. The Japanese have not moved again, and it seems that they have fallen silent.
The war was very strange at this moment, but the two powerful enemies stopped attacking. But no one knows when and what kind of new offensive will break out in this silence. Truce, that's out of the question.
After Lao Zhao returned to Qiqihar, there was no superfluous action, and the massive weapons he brought back made many suspicious cadres even less asking, as for the disappearance of Fei Lei and a group of political cadres, they knew it. But no one asked. Due to their respective guards, in the two days that Lao Zhao was away, there was no chaos, and everything was very calm.
When Lao Zhao went back, he found that all the political cadres were gone, even the guards had disappeared, and he was stunned in the empty headquarters for more than ten minutes. Streams of cold air rushed straight down his back.
At this time, he really realized the weakness of his defense area, and at this time, Dong Ku was an ally with him, what if it was the Japanese? Then won't there be no one left of his generals and cadres overnight?
After being stunned for more than ten minutes, he regained his mind and ordered the cadres of all ministries to gather in Qiqihar for a meeting, and there was only one topic for the meeting. It is necessary to strengthen the quality of individual soldiers, train special combat personnel, and organize a strong contingent to deal with possible special operations.
Although the cadres of this division who were stimulated by the blood of the tiger head were young and inexperienced, Lao Zhao did not transfer cadres to replace them, but let them bring their knowledge. With the impact, go crazy training. I believe that in a month or two, this army will metamorphose and become a real iron-blooded lion.
Pressed Lao Zhao and did not mention it, Dong Ku was cleaning the battlefield, listening to the occasional sound of ice cracking on the river, and confirming that it would take two or three days to open the river. He handed over the defense to Xing Yuan and returned to Harbin with the guard platoon and guards.
At this time, Dong Ku's side was in full swing, and the resources under his hands were also turning nervously.
The biggest movement is still the Longxiang International Hotel, Liu Ruji after Dong Ku occupied Harbin. I haven't seen Dong Ku, but I have heard Yu Jin and Uncle Tie report bit by bit. She knew that this man had abilities and eyes that she couldn't imagine, and she couldn't help Dong Ku anything, so she could only do her best in her own field. The two new branches originally planned to open in May were opened one after another after the Spring Festival, and so far, Longxiang Hotel has opened in Shanghai and Tianjin.
The opening of Longxiang made the social shock at that time when the economic differentiation was serious, and the two large hotels that exceeded any building and any grade in China gave those who pursued drunken gold fans a place to go. But it is also limited to this, Liu Ruji's location in Shanghai Hotel was chosen in accordance with Dong Ku's intentions, not in the concession, but outside the concession, and it was all cement pouring, which cost a huge amount of money, and even the wings in the backyard were also poured with cement. This was an extremely rare building at that time, although it was only eight floors, but the floor area and structure were enough to be called the world's first-class, and it was stronger than the four rows of warehouses at that time.
Liu Ruji does have a lot of business acumen, although she doesn't know what the purpose of Dong Ku will keep the hotel in this not a busy location, but she chooses to obey, and through the operation, directly contacted Madame Jiang and invited her to attend the opening ceremony. Of course, Mrs. Jiang received 3% of the dry shares in return, and at the same time, some of Shanghai's strong enough forces also received 1% of the dry shares, so that Longxiang still maintained the original business policy, independent of the forces of all parties in Shanghai, which were mixed with dragons and snakes.
The location of the hotel, Dong Ku was always worried that the Japanese army would follow the historical trajectory to attack the hinterland of China and occupy Shanghai, so the location of the hotel was adjacent to the Sixing warehouse, also on the bank of the Suzhou Creek, which was reserved for use as a base in case of change.
Compared with Liu Ruji, Shao Fat's movements were quiet, and the minerals began to operate after the arrival of a steady stream of Jews. Soon, there will be large quantities of steel, minerals entering Crescent Island, to satisfy the demand for devouring steel there. At the same time, Pontianak's sprawling underground cement warehouse continues to expand to meet the demand for the ever-increasing stockpiling of compressed biscuits.
During this period, Shao Pang also built two underground granaries, which were the largest in the world, and a steady stream of grain was transported from Australia.
Here, Shao Pang's instant noodles are still popular, and even two manufacturers have been added in Japan, so that funds continue to flow into Shao Pang's account to meet his huge consumption.
In Crescent Island, after more than a month of resource plundering, more than a thousand outstanding scientists have gathered, or who will become famous soon. After seeing the advanced ideas in their field and the perfect scientific research system here, they have invested in crazy research, and I believe that in a few months, a large number of results will be available.
All these are the basis for Dong Ku to improve the industrial system. Harbin's strength alone is far from enough, he needs to have cutting-edge science and technology, so that his troops can be far ahead of the level of the world, so that after he has a foothold, the transformation of military science and technology into people's livelihood will achieve the goal of truly strengthening the country.
As for who leads, he doesn't have this idea anyway, but Liu Yucheng has been working tirelessly and making all kinds of preparations for him.
Lao Xi, although I haven't been able to get the anti-aircraft artillery skills of the weapons company these days, the flamingo has begun mass production. The Tiger and Leopard have also stepped off the production line, and I believe that in a year at most, his military industrial strength will increase by leaps and bounds because of the scientific and technological content of these weapons.
Especially the flamingo, when he was producing for the Japanese, the imitation research has not been interrupted, and his scientific research strength found that the flamingo is fast enough, but the power of the engine is still not enough, and the defense is too weak, it will take advantage in the early stage, once the enemy's aircraft skills rise, the flamingo will become a live target in the air.
Therefore, based on these two defects, he ordered to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to develop new engines to meet the needs of the new flamingos that were imitated and modified to increase armor, and also to allow the military industry to have a follow-up virtuous circle.
In fact, his action has been in line with the thinking of the middle and late stages of World War II, so that the research of weapons will not stop and the status quo, and constantly increase the intensity of research, and be ready for upgrading.
Compared to them, the only thing Dong Ku lacks is resources. Although Heilongjiang is rich in minerals, it still lacks various minerals, especially the amount of iron ore, which cannot meet his needs for mass production of artillery and tanks, which cannot be solved by 30,000 tons or 20,000 tons.
Therefore, he needs to have a richer and more abundant resource land to meet his upcoming national war consumption.
At this time, the hole cards in Dong Ku's hand can already run by themselves, and the funds no longer need to be provided by him, what is missing is time, and it takes time to study and make these advanced ideas a reality.
Dong Ku was also able to spare time, and after solving Lao Zhao's crisis, he began to work on his own plan. He only has a month and a half, which means that after civilization, he will not be able to achieve his goal. Therefore, he is now concentrating all his energy on completing the dispatch and implementing the plan within three days. Therefore, Harbin and Goudan have entered the most intense operation, Harbin is constantly producing AK at the same time, doing a variety of artillery transformation, and the Goudan army is also preparing to move in a few days of emergency training.
