Chapter Ninety-Five: The Last Winter Battle
", it's snowing again.
This hellish place in Russia, it snows endlessly.
The New Year's Day will not be stopped. Ao Ye looked at the falling snowflakes outside the window and scolded.
"The snow of the New Year is called the scene, and it often snows during the New Year in Liaodong.
Besides, eating dog meat in the snow is called the occasion.
It's almost cooked, you don't eat it. ”
Man Ye opened the clay pot, and the thick smell of meat immediately filled the whole room.
"!
Don't you Mongolians don't eat dog meat? ”
How could Ao Ye let go of the fat dog meat, not to mention that this is a hunting dog in the Kremlin.
"Dogs help us Mongolians herd sheep, bite wolves, and help us Mongolians hunt.
Of course, Mongolians don't eat dog meat, but this is a Russian dog, and it's not a Mongolian dog, so what's wrong with eating it?
It's the New Year, it's best to slaughter you.
Fat enough! Man Ye stared at Ao Ye's big belly, and took out a piece from the pot and stuffed it in his mouth.
The fat juice immediately trickled down the corners of his mouth, and he looked like he was enjoying it.
Mongolians don't eat dog meat, but they do.
According to him, when he was a child, his family was poor, and all the rats in the field were eaten, not to mention the dogs. He was so hungry that he ate even people.
Ao Ye is an expert in eating dogs, according to him. After the dog is killed, it should be skinned immediately, and then the dog that has been skinned should be plucked in cold water for a night, otherwise the dog meat will be fishy.
"! A Mongolian dog is a dog, and a Russian dog is not a dog?
Well! Not to mention, this Russian dog smells really good. Ao Ye also tasted a piece and was full of praise.
"Damn, didn't that mean hounds? Why are you so fat, Brother Xiao, you won't fool us with the dirt dog that eats. ”
Man Ye picked out a piece of dog ribs from the pot and looked at Li Xiao while gnawing on it.
"Oops! It's all mixed up as a general, and it's still so unfazed.
Come on, freshly tossed chili sauce.
It was transported by airship from Sichuan, and watercress was added, what is it called watercress paste.
Dipping in dog meat, fragrant. ”
Li Xiao walked over with a bowl of dark red things, and directly gave a small bowl by himself.
"! I've been eating it for decades, and I still have to dip it in sauce when I eat dog meat? Although he was puzzled on his lips, he was not slow in his hands.
The dog meat rolled in the bean paste and put it in the mouth, and then the chopsticks couldn't stop.
"Stingy, fool people with lieutenant generals. What about Moutai? Please eat more refreshingly, take out Moutai, don't fool us with the old dragon's mouth.
Nowadays, we are all people who have seen the world. Ao Ye directly held the bowl and tossed under Li Xiao's desk while eating dog meat.
"The two lieutenant generals of the Ming Army have been carried by you, so what are you going to do.
The second in my family is still only a vice admiral. ”
"I found it, there is really Moutai." Ao Ye searched out two cases of Moutai from under the desk.
"Searched inside the Catherine Palace, there are dozens of boxes." Li Xiao also fished out a chopsticks of dog meat.
In many places, dog meat is called fragrant meat, and the fragrant meat rolls twice, and the gods can't walk steadily.
"Holy shit, that bitch can drink like this?
Damn, with all this money, it would be good to buy some food for his soldiers.
You don't see, what those Russian soldiers eat, it's fucking pig food.
Wrong! It's not even as good as pig food. ”
Ao Ye unscrewed a bottle of Moutai and smelled it, and there was no doubt that it was genuine.
He took out the bowl and poured a bowl for one person.
"Eat! What kind of pig food do you always mention, and you can't stop your mouth with dog meat? "Man Ye is very dissatisfied.
Because he was very poor when he was a child, he really ate pig food.
"Seven million tons of potatoes have been rushed from the rear, which can hold out for a while and will not starve to death." Li Xiao took a bite of Maotai.
"It's still pig food!"
Man Ye gave Ao Ye a fierce look, everyone knows that in addition to cooking, the biggest use of potatoes in Daming is to feed pigs.
"When will the double line of the Central Asian Railway be completed, and now the front line is always lacking in this and that.
Especially oil, my soldiers can go without food, but my tanks can't go without oil. ”
"I'm the same, there's always not enough fuel.
I've asked the driver to fill up the mailbox at the line. ”
"Fuck, you're too shrewd.
I'll have to fill up the tank too! ”
"Oil tanks? What kind of car are you coming from? ”
"Tanker!"
"Fuck, you shit. What a fucking chicken thief!
Correspondent! Correspondent!
Hurry up, send a telegram, and drive a tanker. Lao Tzu went back by tanker! ”
"Get out of the way!" Li Xiao was happy.
The First Army of the Expeditionary Force has the 1st Tank Division, the 2nd Tank Division, the 3rd Tank Division, and three infantry divisions formed by the expansion of the field regiments of the whole army.
It can be said that the elite of the whole army gathers in one place!
There are 150,000 people, and the diesel fuel of a tanker truck is an egg.
The two old fellows were complaining, complaining about the lack of supplies.
"Logistics has brought in 30,000 tons of diesel, plus the previous reserves in Russia, and now the logistics have close to 100,000 tons of diesel.
By the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, 50,000 tons of diesel fuel will arrive.
If you have the ability, you will all be pulled to the front line. ”
Li Xiao pretended to be calm, took a pair of chopsticks, threw the dog meat into his mouth, and chewed slowly.
Ao Ye and Man Ye stopped their chopsticks at the same time, and their four big eyes looked directly at Li Xiao.
These two are murderous old guys. Ordinary people are looked at by the two of them like this, and their legs are already as soft as noodles.
But Li Xiao still sandwiched the dog meat lightly, soaked it in the bean paste and filled it into his mouth.
Then he took a sip of Moutai, and his expression was extremely comfortable.
"You wait a minute!" Ao Ye and Man Ye held down Li Xiao's two hands at the same time.
"Tell me, what do you mean. Do you want to do it! Ao Ye and Man Ye's eyes emitted light at the same time.
The Ming Dynasty is proud of its military exploits, and Ao Ye and Man Ye have reached this point today, and they are already extremely powerful ministers.
But there are so many people under his command, and he still has to make military merits.
didn't fight, a bullshit military exploit.
Seeing that the temporary units that were put together were fighting vigorously, while the armored troops were always in reserve, there were not many opportunities to participate in the battle.
In private, there have been complaints about the two old marshals.
After all, everyone is playing all the miscellaneous cards, and the main force is staying behind, and his face is somewhat unbearable.
Hearing that there were so many oil reserves, the two of them instantly understood that they were going to fight.
Moreover, it is a war, otherwise, it is absolutely impossible to take out the hoarded hundreds of thousands of tons of oil at once.
Li Xiao still poured a sip of wine, then threw his chopsticks and came directly to the huge sand table.
"The Northern Front!
The main force was the Prussians, about 1.3 million people.
Their equipment is not bad, and their combat effectiveness is very good.
And after a winter of hoarding, they hoarded a lot of ammunition, grain and so on in Smolensk.
The servant troops, including the Swedes, Danes, Norwegians, and the armies of small countries such as Finland, combined were about 600,000 men.
These people constitute the main force of the Northern Coalition front.
They will wait for spring, when the earth thaws, and our mechanized troops are again mired in a quagmire, before launching a large-scale offensive.
Because of the reserves prepared for a winter, their logistical supply lines are short.
In this respect, they are much better than the French in winter.
If we really follow their rhythm, we will fall into passivity.
After all, the Russian army plus ours is not even half of theirs.
So, I'm ready to launch an offensive as planned. Grab Winter's tail and give him a hard blow.
Fight, on the edge of the Dnieper, cut a piece of meat off them. ”
The baton in Li Xiao's hand stayed in a place called Vyazma.
"This is the forefront of the coalition forces, and it is also the support point on the east bank of the Dnieper River that will be built during this period.
Aerial reconnaissance showed that there were a little more than two divisions here, almost 30,000 people.
All of them are huddled in strong fortifications, ready to respond to our attack.
Behind them, on the eastern bank of the Dnieper, five divisions of troops met them.
Behind that, there is the large army of the coalition forces.
From Smolensk, to Vyazma, with an interval of a hundred kilometers.
More than 100 kilometers, there are more than 100,000 people in seven divisions.
This mouthful of meat, let's eat it. ”
"It's only a hundred thousand people, not enough points." Hearing that the opponent was only a hundred thousand people, Ao Ye's face immediately collapsed.
He had 150,000 people under his command, a mere 100,000 people, and it was impossible for him to be his opponent.
Looking at the land forces of the whole world, at the same scale, they will not be the opponents of the First Army of the Expeditionary Force.
"Huh!
Who said that there is not enough to eat, I think the preparation is quite sufficient.
First of all, we will send some troops to unite the Russian army to besiege Vyazma.
Your first division of tanks, take part in it. ”
"We don't need Russians, we just do it ourselves. Hitting a place where 20,000 people are guarded, and the Russians are involved, it doesn't make people laugh. ”
Ao Ye was very dissatisfied, his first tank division had almost 20,000 people.
A stronghold of more than 20,000 people, the first tank division scattered as soon as it rushed.
"I didn't let you really fight, let you attack, but didn't really fight down. You have to put enough pressure on the other party, but you have to make them hold on.
This kind of thing can only be done by Zu Kuan. ”
"Do you want to surround the dots and send reinforcements?" Man Ye, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly spoke.
"Huh! It's still full of understanding!
Vyazma was surrounded, and the coalition forces would definitely come to the rescue.
After all, 20,000 people could not be evacuated and were completely annihilated, which was not good to say, and it hurt morale.
We want him to defend the army in Viazima and see the hope of victory if he holds on.
This has to make the Russian army sacrifice! ”
Ao Ye and Man Ye pouted at the same time.
This is to let the Russian army be cannon fodder!
"I will put pressure on the defenders of Vyazma one by one, and force the Prussians to constantly reinforce them.
The siege of Vyazma is expected to culminate on 10 March.
On the night of March 10, Ao Ye, you went from north to south, and Manye, you went from south to north.
In this place, the Safonov region will meet. Directly surround the coalition forces inside the encirclement!
Rocket artillery units would then bombard the ice of the Dnieper River and the bridges above it.
Around March 10, the temperature began to rise. Once the ice is blown up, it won't freeze again so quickly.
We will try to kill the Prussians in the encirclement in three to five days. ”
"How many people can there be?" Ao Ye swallowed his saliva.
"That depends on Zu Kuan! However, according to the mobility of the Prussian army, there should be more than 200,000.
But with more than 100,000 people, we can accept it. ”
"It's done!" Ao Ye's eyes lit up.
The last time Austria-Hungary was fought, many people said that they used a knife to kill chickens.
Although they annihilated 650,000 enemy troops, there were still strange people.
This time it was different, it was the Prussian army, the main force of the coalition forces, that was fighting.
The Prussians were said to be the most powerful army in Europe, rivaled even Napoleon's French army.
Moreover, the Prussians have always called themselves the first army power in Europe.
Not only them, but those "little brothers" of the Northern Front.
The armies of Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland are also Nordic countries.
A few hundred years ago they had a common name, called Vikings.
This is a group of people who once made Europe tremble, and even women rushed to the shore with axes and shields to rob, and seemed to be worthy of being called a fighting nation.
Although over the years, everyone has picked up rifles, and axes no longer work.
But the fierceness of the Nordics is still obvious to all.
And there were also the Finns who came out as snipers, and in the battle for Grozny, they inflicted very heavy casualties on the Russian Guards Corps.
Even the commander of the Russian army, Vatutin, was killed by snipers.
These people were killed more than 200,000 people, and look at what else those who say strange things all day long.
"In this battle, the final closing stage must be fast in and out, and those who do not surrender must be resolutely annihilated.
According to intelligence, coalition forces should launch an offensive at the end of March.
The focus is on the previously relatively calm northern front!
The French army on the southern front and the Israeli army on the central front will also launch an offensive in response.
In addition, Austria-Hungary mobilized another 300,000 people.
In terms of troops, we are at an absolute disadvantage.
After you have fought this battle, you may only have seven days to rest.
Then you need to move on to resilient defensive operations.
If you want to rest again, you don't know when you will have to wait. ”
"! The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, afraid of a dick!
As long as there are enough shells, bullets, and oil pipes, one will kill another, and one million will kill one million. ”
Man Gui returned to the steaming dog meat pot and dried it directly with the wine bowl.
"Master Man, you are different, when you fight flexibly, you still have to be a reserve." Li Xiao also returned to the wine table.
"Why!" Man Ye jumped up all of a sudden.
"You're the main force, the 1st Cavalry Division. Sit! Sit! Sit! Ao Ye gloated with a look of schadenfreude.
Not to mention the first cavalry division, even if it is the first division in the universe, as long as it is still the Ming army, you are nothing without military merits.
Now that there is less of the biggest competitor who grabs credit, Ao Ye is of course smiling.
"Fuck off!
Brother Xiao, you can't be eccentric.
We rode a division, always in reserve.
The battle has been fought so far, and there is not much military merit.
It's been so many years, you can't be partial to this dog's day. ”
"Master Man!
You have the best equipment and the largest number of cavalry divisions.
I'll have to keep a knife in my hand, as long as I find a weak spot in the enemy's army.
That Lao Tzu's knife was directly inserted into it, killing him with one move. ”
