Chapter 378: Reporter on the Battlefield
On the East Siberian Plain, the main force of the delayed offensive was dominated by the air cavalry division, supplemented by a small number of tanks and armored vehicles on the ground.
There were only more than 30,000 troops in battle, and in this plain, there were as many as 400,000 Soviet troops, as well as hundreds of thousands of new recruits, some of whom had not even put on their uniforms.
Compared with the numbers, it is completely incomparable, but for the Soviets in this land, there is hardly any will to fight.
Many of the Soviet people living here are family members of sinners, and from the Great Purge to the outbreak of war, a large number of people were sent here, and then let these people go to the battlefield, and it is good not to mutiny.
Although Khrushchev sent a large number of political workers and law enforcement teams, he could not stop the inertia of the soldiers, as well as the extreme dissatisfaction and hatred of those in power.
With no heavy weapons, no trucks, no air force support, the trek of hundreds of kilometers was not easy at all.
In this area, it is common to see a large number of Soviet soldiers, throwing their hands up in the air, surrendering to several Red Alert soldiers.
You can also see the picture of hundreds of Soviet soldiers coming out to surrender just by setting up a machine gun outside the farm, without firing, and inside.
You can also see the picture of thousands of Soviet soldiers, when they saw the Apocalypse Tank, quickly threw away their weapons and raised their hands.
On the battlefield, many reporters from the United States took these pictures.
The United States of America no longer exists, but all the Americans who once lived in that land still lived.
Accept your new identity, because all Americans find that life has not changed at all without the White House and Capitol Hill.
There was no oppression, no abuse and no oppression, and Americans did not go to war as slaves and cannon fodder as they were rumored.
On the contrary, the change brought about is huge, a large number of jobs have been added, all racial discrimination has been abolished, and it has been liked by the majority of the common people.
As a result, many Americans embarked on the path of service in the war, and many were in the rear of the occupation zone, responsible for transportation and infrastructure.
During the Pacific War, the Red Alert Empire taught the Japanese a hard lesson, and it was further recognized by the Americans.
Therefore, many American newspapers and reporters have stepped into the ranks of military reporters and onto the battlefield, bringing the most truthful news on the battlefield to the rear.
In Siberia, there are also many journalists who are active on the front line, and the army provides them with security protection, and they can go to the front line by helicopter to take pictures of the battlefield and interview prisoners.
For example, an American reporter used a color camera to capture more than 300 Soviet soldiers in a Soviet farm, and was also welcomed by many Soviet women and elderly people in the farm.
Soon the reporter learned that the people in this farm were all women and old people from Ukraine, and the men in the farm were all forcibly conscripted into the army, and this Soviet army came here to take away the grain in the farm.
If it weren't for the arrival of the Red Guard Corps, which allowed this Soviet army to surrender without a fight, everyone in the farm would probably not be able to survive this winter.
Later, the reporter also learned that the soldiers of the Red Guard Corps were very familiar with the situation in this area, and their actions were also very purposeful.
Here in Eastern Siberia, there are many people from Poland and Ukraine, and if it were not for the arrival of the Red Guard, their fate under the war can be imagined.
The reporter then went to a tractor production plant in Iman, an area where the Soviets had completely abandoned and entered the Red Guard Corps in the city, without the slightest resistance.
But this tractor factory has been demolished and seriously damaged.
At the time of the arrival of the reporters, a transport helicopter brought in several engineers to inspect the equipment in the factory.
As the engineers entered the factory, they could see that inside the factory, many machine tools and processing equipment were blown up.
A lot of tank parts were scattered all over the ground, they were unfinished parts, and those parts that had been completed were all taken away.
There are also several tanks manufactured to varying degrees that have been blown up in the project, and on the crane in the factory, you can also see the turret of the tank with the barrel blown open.
The factory, which used to produce a large number of agricultural machinery, was converted into a tank factory during the war, and could produce five tanks per week.
And similar tractor production plants, in the city, there are two, in the Soviet Union in the Siberian region, there are many more.
So, although Germany occupied the industrial regions of the western part of the Soviet Union, it never really wiped out the military industry of the Soviets.
Even though Germany had been bombing the rear of the Soviet Union, small factories like this were the core of the Soviet war machine.
Inside the factory, when the Soviets retreated, the relevant technicians were also taken away, but most of the workers remained.
Regarding the arrival of the Red Police Corps, the Soviets inside were quite calm, with a very indifferent attitude, and there was no hatred, but only a faint look of worry.
Journalists from the United States can understand the thoughts of these Soviets, and when the Red Alert Empire invaded the United States, most of the United States was like this.
Comparing the current social and living environment in the United States, the reporter also believes that these Soviets will soon return to normal life and begin to like the new living environment.
And this time, it won't be too long.
It would have been even shorter than the time that the Americans had accepted, because in the United States at that time there was no oppressive regime.
This reporter sent all his observations and understandings to domestic newspapers.
A large number of high-definition pictures and images soon spread in the United States and other occupied areas, and then quickly spread.
It also allows the outside world to understand the offensive efficiency and actions of the Red Alert Empire on the battlefield of the Soviet Union for the first time.
When Stalin saw the report, he almost flipped the table, and his angry roar could be heard outside the Kremlin.
Subsequently, a telegram was sent to Khrushchev, demanding that Khrushchev take resolute measures against those traitors who surrendered.
It's just that Khrushchev is beyond the reach of the whip, and he can't deal with those soldiers who surrendered, not to mention that the current Far East, after compulsory conscription, also lacks a large number of laborers, and can not continue to purge and kill.
But in order to deal with Stalin, Khrushchev could only deal with part of it, and at the same time, in order to deter the rest of the army, so that everyone knew that surrender was death.
