Chapter 711: Fearless of Death (10th Update)
Bled, originally just an ordinary town. However, now the town has become the focus of contention between the Chinese and Soviet armies. Under the constant air attack delay of the Imperial Air Force, the 3rd Army finally arrived in Bled, and built a defensive position here, preparing to meet the Russian Red Army here. In the same way, although the Soviet Russian Red Army suffered heavy losses from the air raids of the Imperial Air Force. But they were still rushing to Bled, preparing to defeat the Chinese* army here, and then go further north to conquer Chelyabinsk and destroy the Russian Empire.
The headquarters of the 3rd Army of the Chinese Army, located in a small courtyard on the northern outskirts of Bled. If it weren't for the antennas erected in the courtyard, others wouldn't have known that this was actually the headquarters of an army group of the Imperial Army.
The commander of the 3rd Army, General Zhao Tianwei, had just inspected the positions on the front line and returned to the headquarters. For the field defensive positions of the Imperial Army, General Zhao Tianwei was still very satisfied. He was transferred from the commander of the heavy artillery unit to the commander of the group army, and he always attached great importance to the ability of the troops to resist the attack of the fortifications. He believed that only by defending against the enemy's attack in the battle could he give better damage to the enemy until the final victory was obtained. In other words, the most important thing is to try your best to save yourself on the battlefield.
"How far are we from the Red Fur?" Admiral Zhao Tianwei asked after taking off his gloves.
"Commander, according to the latest information, the closest Hongmaozi to us is only about twenty kilometers. However, under the air raids of the air force brothers, the red hairs are moving very slowly, and it is expected that they will not be able to attack our true meaning until at least tomorrow. The adjutant replied.
Admiral Zhao Tianwei nodded, turned to look at the defensive situation map hanging on the wall. The 3rd Army's first line of defense was deployed with the 3rd Infantry Division, the starting unit of the Imperial Army. It is also the elite of the elite of the Imperial Army. The position defended by the 3rd Infantry Division was a ten-kilometer-long position. On the flanks of the 3rd Infantry Division, the 18th Infantry Division and the 33rd Infantry Division were respectively. The other two infantry divisions of the 3rd Army served as reserves. Units directly under the group army were deployed in the town. In addition, the 2nd Janissary Panzer Division was split into small units, ready to support the troops at the front. After all. This time, the Russian Air Force attacked the troops, but it included tank troops. Although the infantry is equipped with anti-tank guns, it is still difficult to deal with such targets. The armored forces of the Imperial Army can just make up for the shortcomings in this regard. Of course, at the time of the attack, the armored forces are still gathered together and are able to gain stronger assault capabilities.
"I don't know how many troops the red hairs will stop attacking after losing how many troops." Admiral Zhao Tianwei thought secretly. The fortifications constructed by the 4th Army, albeit hastily constructed field fortifications. But it's definitely not that easy to break through. Especially with the support of armored forces and the air force, the offensive of the Soviet Russian Red Army is absolutely no different from sending it to death.
While the 3rd Army of the Imperial Army was in full battle and was ready to give the Russian Red Army a head-on attack, the Russian Red Army was still rushing under the air raids of the Imperial Air Force. In the face of the air raids of the Chinese Air Force, the Soviet Russian Red Army had no choice but to dodge the air raids when they came. Or use rifles and machine guns to shoot blankly in the air, doing these useless tasks.
Fortunately. The Russian Red Army was strong, even though it was constantly attacked by the Imperial Air Force. Nor could they stop their march. Of course, the casualties paid by the Soviet Russian Red Army along the way were definitely not small, and the Soviet Russian Red Army officers and soldiers who died in the air raids alone amounted to tens of thousands. Countless people have been injured. An even more serious blow was the serious damage to the morale of the Russian Red Army. If it weren't for the constant pacification and demagoguery of the political commissars of the various troops. Perhaps the Russian Red Army would have collapsed long ago.
The command of the troops of the Southern Front of the Russian Red Army, Commander Voroshilov was listening to the reports of the troops of the front.
"Comrade Commander, tomorrow morning we will be able to reach Bled and attack. Only, judging by the intelligence obtained by the reconnaissance troops. The Chinese have already taken Bred and built fortifications. If we want to get through Bryde, we'll have to conquer here. "said the commander of the 7th Army of the Russian Red Army, Kasnov.
"The Chinese keep attacking us with air forces in order to buy time for their army. Obviously, the Chinese are ready to stop us at Bled. Voroshilov's brow furrowed. He realized that if he wanted to conquer Bled, it would definitely be a tough battle, and it might cost the Russian Red Army dearly.
"Comrade commander, but we have no other choice but to attack Bled. If Bled is bypassed, it will not only increase the distance by tens of kilometers, but also must leave enough troops to contain the Chinese here. Otherwise, if they attack, our logistical supply lines may be cut off. Kasnov said.
Voroshilov nodded: "The Chinese expected this, so they have no fear." It seems that we have only one more time to storm Bled. ”
Voroshilov said helplessly. Although, the Russian Red Army was not afraid of sacrifice, nor was it afraid of fighting a tough battle. But if the losses are too great, it will be very detrimental to the next war.
"Comrade Commander, please give the task of attacking Bled to our 7th Army. We will definitely be able to defeat the Chinese in one fell swoop and take Bred's. Kasnov said confidently. Although, he is well aware of the combat effectiveness of the Chinese * army. But he believed more that the Soviet Russian Red Army, with its fearless spirit of sacrifice, would be able to create a miracle and conquer Bred.
"Alright! Comrade Kasnov, I hope that the 7th Army will be able to take Bred at minimal cost. After all, our enemy is still too strong to lose too many troops in Bled. Voroshilov said.
"Yes, Comrade Commander." Kasnov nodded.
On the morning of May 3, 4618 (20), the 7th Army of the Russian Red Army arrived in Bled. Without trimming, the commander of the army group, Kasnov, gave the order to attack.
Hundreds of artillery pieces of the 7th Army began to fire at Brede. These cannons include Soviet-made 76.2 mm field guns, captured 75 mm field guns, 105 mm light howitzers and 122 mm light howitzers. Equipped with a variety of cannons, it was very difficult to supply the Russian Red Army. However, this was already all the artillery that the Russian Red Army was able to collect. In order to enhance the vitality of the troops, all the troops were equipped with whatever caliber as long as they could be put to use.
It's just that the shelling of the Russian Red Army has just begun, and the 144 heavy howitzers of the heavy artillery brigade of the 3rd Army of the Imperial Army have begun to counterattack and suppress the artillery positions of the Russian Red Army. In the face of the heavy artillery suppression of the Imperial Army, the artillery of the Soviet Russian Red Army was far from being comparable in power and range, so much so that they were suppressed only a few minutes after the start of the shelling.
And that's not all. Aircraft of the Chinese Air Force have already appeared in the sky. Four A2 attack planes pounced and threw bombs on the artillery positions of the Russian Red Army, and the artillerymen of the Russian Red Army turned on their backs, killing many of the artillerymen, and the cannons were blown into scrap metal. The F5 fighters who escorted the attack aircraft were also killed, strafing the artillery positions with aviation machine guns. Countless Soviet and Russian artillery were directly killed, which caused heavy losses to the Soviet and Russian artillery.
Seeing this, Commander Kasnov's eyes were red and his teeth were about to be crushed.
"Damn the Chinese, do they only know how to bully us with their superiority in the performance of weapons? Do they think they can defeat us in this way? We will prove that the Russian Red Army was invincible. Order the troops, launch an attack, take Bred with one blow, and kill all the Chinese! "Kasnov gave the order directly. Although, the artillery preparation has not yet been completed, but he can no longer care about so much. If they continue to wait, they will only lose more. Morale can also be greatly affected.
"Comrades, the Chinese only have weapons that are a little more advanced than ours. They are so small that if we could storm their positions, even with bayonets, we could kill them all. The great Comrade Ulyanov is in Moscow waiting for news of our victory. If we are able to successfully capture Bred, Comrade Ulyanov will receive meritorious officers and soldiers in the Kremlin. Comrades, don't you want to be received by Comrade Ulyanov? If you want to, then fight for it! "The political commissar was cheering hard for the officers and men of the Russian Red Army who were about to attack.
At this moment, Ulyanov is already a deified figure in Soviet Russia, equivalent to the existence of God in the past. Hearing that if he made meritorious service, he could be received by Ulyanov, which suddenly made those Red officers and soldiers excited one by one. For them, it would undoubtedly be extremely lucky to be received by Ulyanov, and even if they were allowed to die for this, no one would refuse.
Subsequently, under the orders of Kasnov, the 7th Infantry Corps of the 1st Army, totaling more than 17,000 men, was directly engaged in the attack on Bred. These Soviet Russian officers and soldiers, whose eyes were full of fanaticism, did not care about death at all. They had only one conviction in their hearts, that is, to attack Bled, defeat the Chinese* army, and then wait for Comrade Ulyanov's reception. (To be continued.) )
