Sitting there, he suddenly stood up, and the staff officers who were working nervously watched his sudden movement in surprise.The general opened his eyes, and his eyes had regained their firmness. No matter what, Poland must be defeated first!He looked at Marshal Urebovich: "Comrade Commander, can we start?"

The marshal nodded, stood up, and loudly ordered: "Notify the frontline assault points and the rear artillery group to test the communication line. The assault group is ready and waiting for orders!"

The guns behind slowly raised their muzzles.The artillery that cooperated with the Soviet Red Army's assault operations was divided into two levels.The first level is the artillery group that directly supports the infantry and tank attacks. It is mainly composed of the division and regiment artillery of the Soviet Red Army. It is mainly equipped with 122mm and 76.2mm artillery, and there are also a small number of 37mm and 57mm anti-tank guns.These artillery groups have now established a wired communication network with the assault group.The artillery support is directly directed by the artillery observers on the front line.The second-level artillery group is a suppression artillery group directly under the military and headquarters, including 30 heavy artillery regiments and 10 heavy artillery divisions.They are responsible for long-range shooting, interdiction of the battlefield, and conduct artillery battles.At present, Soviet tanks and aircraft may be lagging behind in quantity and quality, but their heavy artillery is still one of the most powerful in the world. Perhaps only China and Germany, two military machines, can compete with them. Poland... at all Not worth mentioning!

One after another, the polished shells have been shipped out of the ammunition storage warehouse, and different fuzes have been installed.They are all quietly getting ready to go!At a command from above, these shells will bring destruction to White Poland.

……

Liu Ziming, the staff officer of the 6th Division of the Chinese National Defense Army, was covering the receiver of the phone with his hand at this time, listening intently to the brief order issued by the division headquarters.He half turned around and raised his hand towards Huangshi.Huang Shi took a deep breath, squatted in the trench and raised his left hand, and said in a low voice: "Everyone has it, look at my gestures, get ready!" All the officers and soldiers stood up at the same time, bowed their waists and began to check equipment on the body.A layer of black mud has been rolled on their thick face coats, as are their weapons and helmets, which are used to cover up the reflection of the steel.The stars are dim tonight. Although there are flares rising from the Soviet position from time to time, there are so many bomb craters covering it. If you are careful, it is still possible to achieve the greatest sudden effect.

Seeing that his subordinates were ready, Chief Liu Ziming waved at Huang Shi. "Let's go! Infiltrate and raid first. If you fail, change to a raid. All units will follow the original plan!"

Huang Shi nodded and looked around in a low tone: "Brothers, the time has come for us to work hard. As mentioned above, this is to open up living space for future generations. Even if it is sacrificed, it is worth it! I will talk about other nonsense Not much to say, act now, everyone remember, I will always be the first!"

After saying these words, Huangshi Battalion Commander Huang took the lead in digging out of the trench, and his quick tactical actions did not make any noise.He climbed a few steps forward, holding up the binoculars in his hand, while looking back at his brothers digging out of the trenches one after another, while observing the Soviet position opposite.Under the cover of the night, countless figures crawled out quietly, and rushed into the no man's land between the two armies full of corpses, but these corpses have now become the best cover.

There are five assault key points across the line, each of which has a battalion, carrying enough ammunition and equipment, almost squirming and slowly approaching the Soviet army's position.The darkest hours before dawn hid their figures, and their movements were so light that they seemed to make no sound.The follow-up troops in the trench watched their actions with bated breath, whether they succeeded or failed, it was all in one fell swoop!

The front of the Soviet Red Army remained silent, and occasionally a flare would rise, illuminating the ground pale.The Chinese wriggling all over the ground bowed their heads deeply, disguising themselves as a slowly rotting corpse!At this time, the officers and soldiers who were crawling forward in front were alright, they had put aside all distracting thoughts, and even disregarded life and death!But those who stayed behind were so nervous that they couldn't breathe.Once these small troops are discovered, tonight's raid will fail in all likelihood.

That is, the sneak attack was about to turn into a strong attack, and the casualty price paid was unimaginable!Hundreds of mortars of various calibers, anti-aircraft guns, infantry guns, and mountain guns in the trenches are all ready, and the ammunition hand holds the shells with slightly trembling hands. At such a short distance, so many artillery, just a command With one attack, they can turn the opponent's position into a sea of ​​flames!

At this time, around the Brest salient of Belarus, thousands of miles away, there was already a sea of ​​flames. With the order of Marshal Ubolevich, more than 1 Soviet light and heavy artillery began to be free It seemed to pour shells on the heads of the Polish army that was about to retreat!The fate of White Poland completely slipped into the abyss at this moment.

Chapter 0740 raid (fifteen) bloody battle

May 1937, 10, 23 am.

Now is the darkest moment before dawn, and the night is as thick as thick ink that cannot be opened in a picture.The officers and soldiers of the Soviet Red Army in the trench tried their best to keep their eyes wide open, while enduring the Siberian cold current that had been quietly moving south, while watching the movement on the opposite side, but in the darkness where it was difficult to see five fingers, the line of sight could not exceed a distance of ten meters , only under the light of the flares fired from the rear, you can see the equally quiet enemy trenches on the opposite side, and occasionally stray bullets pass over the battlefield, and only the sentry who is ordered to watch the night will look up and sleep in the anti-battery hole The officers and soldiers of the 336th Regiment of the 996th Division of the Soviet Union simply ignored it.They have been fighting the enemy here for a day and two nights, their nerves have become a little numb, and they are really too tired.

But at this moment, these Soviet troops never expected that the Chinese army, which has an overwhelming air superiority and firepower advantage, actually used this sneak attack with a small number of troops this time without artillery fire and air cover. How to play!Including more than 6 officers and soldiers of the 18th Battalion of the 54th Regiment of the 700th Division of the Chinese National Defense Army, thousands of infantry and combat engineers are advancing silently in the area full of bomb craters and dead bodies between the trenches of the two armies tonight. In the trenches behind them, there are also thousands of Wehrmacht soldiers holding their breath, waiting for the battle to start.

Second Lieutenant Molov of the Soviet Red Army is a veteran who has smelled the smoke of gunpowder in the trenches of the Far East War for several years. He has fought against the Chinese, Japanese, and White Russia who supported Queen Anastasia. To these opponents He also thinks he understands his temperament very well.That's why the superior confidently entrusted his platoon with the duties of the night watchman.If it weren't for an experienced veteran like him, it would be impossible to detect every move of the enemy in the pitch black night.

Lieutenant Molov gritted his teeth and endured the strongest fatigue near dawn, holding his Mosin Nagant rifle, opened his eyelids that seemed to be filled with lead, and looked at the opposite trench over and over again, except midnight At that time there seemed to be a little movement of troops, but there was silence.Thinking that the Soviet motherland is suffering from joint attacks from internal and external enemies, and only thousands of Red Army soldiers like myself can save the motherland.The second lieutenant regained his energy, his eyes widened, he looked left and right, and suddenly saw something moving on the ground!Molov looked again, and found that these moving things were actually a whole piece!And it was no more than fifteen yards from their trenches!A flare was lit over the position again at this time.He actually saw a Chinese soldier covered in mud, cutting a remnant of barbed wire!Enemy attack!These Chinese actually launched a night attack on this night!

The rifle in his hand suddenly slammed, and it was unclear whether he had hit the target.After firing the gun, he began to shout at the top of his voice: "Enemy attack! The enemy is coming up!" The sound of the gunshot spread far and wide in the silent night sky, and the Chinese reacted very quickly, jumping as soon as they heard the gunshot. After getting up, under the light of the flares, Molov finally found that they were all in the dark!There are at least a few thousand people!The one at the front should be a major. He waved a submachine gun and let out a chest-torn cry: "Brothers! Come with me!"

This Chinese sentence was the last sentence Comrade Molov heard in this world, and then there was a burst of gunshots and the sound of bullets piercing into the flesh, and finally there was a burst of heart-piercing pain ... At the same time, the Soviet front boiled instantly at this moment. The hidden heavy machine gun on duty spit out long tongues of flames, and the chaotic shouts and screams rang out. The awakened Red Army soldiers came out of the artillery hole They rushed out in disorder.But the Chinese soldiers had already reached a distance of fifteen yards from them, and it took only a few seconds to rush into the trench, and it was too late for all their reactions.The elite Chinese infantry poured into the trenches, and the sound of exploding grenades and explosives immediately shook the ground.The submachine guns blocked the entrance of the Soviets' anti-bomb holes, and bursts of gunshots caused the Soviets who poured out with their heads covered to die at the entrance of the hole.Then several long-handled grenades tied with explosives were thrown in, and the sound of explosions and the screams of dying Soviet soldiers rang together.Many Red Army soldiers were buried alive before they could react from their sleep!Some Soviet Red Army still rushed out, holding up their rifles without bayonets and firing indiscriminately, but it would not be long before they were wiped out by the Chinese who had the upper hand in numbers and firepower.

More than 4000 officers and soldiers from the six battalions selected by the Chinese rushed into the trenches of the Soviet army almost at the same time. Another 12 battalions were thrown in, and a continuous assault was launched into the depth and two wings of the Tiger Mountain highland of the Soviet Army.

……

At this time, on the other side of the world, the tanks of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army ran over the trenches, destroyed the fortifications, and wiped out all the Polish troops who dared to stand in their way.

After several hours of bloody battle.Nearly 2000 tanks from the four tank corps of the Soviet Red Army have created a deep and wide gap in the Polish front.Although the Polish army was also resisting tenaciously, and even sent a tank column composed of nearly 200 No. [-] tanks to intercept it, but in front of the overwhelmingly superior Red Army, it was tantamount to mantising a car.The steel torrent of the Red Army has been advancing in depth.The Polish army hastily dispatched reserves from the Brest Fortress and the west bank of the Bouag River to try to counterattack, but they were all repelled by tank fire.In less than half a day, the Polish army suffered heavy losses, and a large number of technical weapons were destroyed.The artillery positions arranged behind the line of defense were destroyed one after another by Soviet tanks.Dead people, dead horses, and broken and damaged artillery piled up on the road crushed by tanks, seeming to witness the end of white Poland!

The two gaps in the north and south of the Brest salient have been controlled by the Soviet Red Army infantry who arrived later, and they withstood the almost crazy counterattack launched by the Polish army from both wings.On the battlefield on the east bank of the Buwag River, the Polish army suffered casualties as high as 3 to 1 horses in this half day!More than [-] people were completely desperate and surrendered to the Soviet army with their hands up!Such a record made the raid on Tiger Mountain somewhat overshadowed.

The 27th Special Army under the command of Zhukov made the fastest progress and rushed to the outskirts of the Brest Fortress that night.Several infantry regiments of the 1st Polish Army and the 11th Army, relying on the ancient star fortifications of the Brest Fortress, are resisting desperately.Zhukov did not order the tanks to attack the fortress, but just swept the Polish fortifications with firepower.At the same time, the main force of the frontal Soviet Polish Front also launched an offensive with the support of more than 1 cannons.The Polish army, which was attacked on the flanks and even behind, was shaken across the board!The first-line positions have also been breached in many places.After a day of hard work, the Poles have already understood that this war has been completely lost, and the only option now is to retreat.But under the strong pressure of the Soviet Red Army.How much this last strategic group of White Poland can be removed is a question!The Polish army fell into panic everywhere, and kept asking the rear to send reinforcements to cover their turn to the west bank of the Buwag River.At this time, the east bank of the Buwag River was not completely safe. While attacking the Brest salient, the Soviet army also sent troops to forcibly cross the Bowag River, threatening the retreat of the Polish army.

The headquarters of the Polish Army, which is located in the Brest Fortress, has also fallen into complete panic.The commander of the Polish army is below Marshal Hemigvi.Opinions were uncertain, while scrambling to search for reserve troops, trying to repel the threat of Zhukov's 27th Special Army to Brest.On the other hand, they are planning to retreat.At the same time, he also sent an emergency call to Hitler in Wolf's Lair in East Prussia, Germany, promising to cede the Danzig Corridor as a price, asking Germany to send troops to rescue, at least immediately send the air force to help.In addition, it is necessary to go to Britain and France to provide supplies and weapons and equipment as soon as possible, and send military advisers to help Poland organize a new army.It even asked the British navy to launch an immediate bombardment of Leningrad to reduce the pressure on the Polish army, and also asked China to immediately launch a powerful offensive in Central Asia and the Far East...

At this time, Shimigvi had already ignored the basic international etiquette, and directly instructed his backstage boss and allies.However, Marshal Himigvi's gaffe is excusable, looking out from the watchtower of the Brest Fortress.On the plains of West Belarus, beacon fires are everywhere, and Soviet tanks with red flags undulate on the hilly plains.Groups of defeated Polish troops fled in panic.In the sky, Soviet fighter-bombers were fighting fiercely. The Polish army's logistics base, artillery positions, and transportation lines had been smashed to pieces.However, the air cover of Germany or China cannot be dispatched because of the weather in East Prussia!The last strategic cluster of the Polish army is now in jeopardy, and the Polish army, which has lost artillery support and a large amount of logistical supplies, can only support it with heavy casualties.They just want to wait until dark, and then quickly retreat and return to the capital Warsaw. If the Soviet Red Army cannot be defeated there, the Republic of Poland may once again become a historical term!

……

"Comrade Stalin, just intercepted a telegram sent to Hitler by the headquarters of the Brest Poles. The Polish traitor, Shmigvi, is ready to cede Danzesk as a condition for Germany to send troops! In addition, Poles near Brest The army group also plans to retreat tonight!" Voroshilov rushed into Stalin's office with a rare brisk pace, and reported the military situation to Stalin beamingly before saluting.

Although Brest's breakthrough was expected, the situation in Poland was so critical that Danze was to be ceded in exchange for Germany sending troops, which was beyond the imagination of the Soviet High Command and Stalin.Hearing the unexpected good news, Stalin was staring at the map, turned around and said with a smile, "Did Hitler call back?"

Voroshilov said with a smile: "Not yet, but the German Communist Party in East Prussia has reported that all the roads from East Prussia to Poland have been taken over by the army, and all civilian transportation has come to a complete standstill. Signs! It looks like the German army is about to enter Poland... Latvia and Lithuania must be empty, Comrade Stalin, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Stalin let out a sigh of relief, "It's an opportunity, but we must grasp it well... Comrade Voroshilov, do you think our Red Army soldiers still have the strength to liberate Latvia and Lithuania after defeating White Poland? ?”

Voroshilov bowed to Stalin's side.Look at the map with him.Laughing in a low voice: "Comrade Stalin, please rest assured that our Red Army soldiers are the most heroic and tenacious in the world, and they can completely fight continuously... and there are currently more than 40 fresh troops deployed on the Soviet-German border. Use it. So the Red Army of Workers and Peasants is fully capable of liberating our compatriots in Latvia and Lithuania!"

Pointing at the map, he said with bright eyes: "The High Command estimates that Germany will send 100 million people from East Prussia, Latvia, Lithuania and other places to help White Poland, and the number of German troops there will decrease from 300 million. To 200 million! Moreover, several German armored divisions may also be transferred from Lithuania, so that our Red Army of Workers and Peasants will have a greater chance of winning!"

Stalin nodded with a smile, and said with a smile: "I think we should try to confuse Hitler again. We can help the Communist Party of Poland establish a red Polish government, and let Comrade Lenzki be the leader of the government... I believe Hitler is absolutely not A red Poland will be allowed to appear beside Germany, because that will greatly inspire the fighting spirit of the German working class!"

"Your instructions are really wise. With this red Polish government, Hitler will definitely be eager to throw his fascist gangsters into the Polish battlefield, so that his north will be empty, and we just happened to launch a big deep there. Raid. The Soviet meteorological experts analyzed that from November 11th to 10th, there will be a long period of rain and snow in the Baltic Sea coast. At that time, the German planes will not be able to take off, and their heavy tanks will be difficult to start. Our The light tanks of the German army will not be affected (the T-18 tanks have all been lying down after a period of combat), and we will use 28 to 300 million people to assault the German fascist army at most 400 million... The total strength is 250 more Wan, we also have more cannons and tanks... This battle should be able to win, it seems that the Soviet Union will definitely win this war!" Voroshilov's tone was full of confidence, and his eyes were shining, as if It seemed that the Soviet Union had already won the war.

This revolutionary optimism seems to have infected Stalin as well. He murmured to himself in a low voice: "...it seems that I will give Yagoda an instruction that all captured Polish, German, and Chinese officers should be To be shot!"

Just when the two Soviet leaders felt that the future was promising, the door of Stalin's office was pushed open. Stalin turned his head and saw Secretary Pavlov standing at the door with a serious face: "Comrade Stalin , The Far East Army urgently reported... At 1 o'clock in the morning today, the Komsomolsk Peak (Tiger Mountain) southwest of Chita Fortress was attacked by the Chinese White Army during a night attack!"

Stalin frowned, leaned over the map on the desk, trying to find where the Komsomolsk is.On the side, Voroshilov's expression changed drastically. He snatched the telegram from Pavlov in a few steps, read it again and again, and after confirming that it was correct, he stomped his feet and said, "Okay... this time it's okay." Damn it! Once the Communist Youth League Peak is lost, the Chita Fortress will be completely exposed to the guns of the Chinese! Now the Chita Fortress cannot be defended, it cannot be defended!"

Stalin still hadn't found this important-sounding Komsomolsk on the map at this time, but seeing Voroshilov's distraught look, he also knew that the problem was serious, so he hurriedly instructed: "Order Comrade Blyukher Organize a counterattack as soon as possible, and we must take back the Communist Youth League Peak!"

……

The entire Komsomolsk Peak (Tiger Mountain) highland is now on fire. Looking southwest from the Chita Fortress, Blucher saw the ballistic trajectory around the Komsomolsk Peak, and the sound of guns and guns came like raging waves. .The officers of the Far East Front Army Command were heartbroken.Now the entire Komsomolsk Peak has been smashed into a pot of porridge.The Chinese army took advantage of a surprise attack in the early hours of the morning, and then Blueher began to organize wave after wave of counterattacks.

But how easy is it to regain the lost high ground from the enemy?The Chinese army already had an absolute superiority in numbers and firepower. After capturing the Komsomolsk Peak, their artillery observers could overlook the core area of ​​the entire Chita Fortress.Although the heroic Soviet Red Army launched successive attacks on this high ground, every attack was easily crushed by the joint strangling of the artillery and air force firepower of the Chinese army without exception!At the same time, the shells of the super-heavy artillery continued to fly over the mountains around Chita and landed in the core area of ​​the fortress, destroying seven fortress groups in a hundred days!If this crucial high ground is not regained as soon as possible, the fortress where the headquarters of the Soviet Far East Front Army is located may be destroyed by artillery fire.

At this point, Bliucher couldn't care less about hiding the artillery firepower. All the cannons in the fortress were roaring, and the explosion points of artillery of various calibers had already enveloped the entire Komsomolsk Peak.Large and small explosive spots flashed one after another like churning magma.This commanding height in the southwest of the Chita Fortress is now related to the fate of the entire Soviet Far East Front Army!Under the stern gaze of the internal affairs personnel and political commissars, tens of thousands of Red Army soldiers shouted the slogan "Hurrah! Urrah!" and rushed to the Komsomolsk Peak, which was like a sea of ​​fire. Swallowed by the burning furnace of life!And the only thing Marshal Blucher can do is to organize a new round of offensive.

Chapter 0741 raid (sixteen) dispatched

On October 1937, 10, Zhanjiang Guangzhou Bay.The warships whimpered and began to light fire and anchor.The battleship units of the Chinese Navy have already gone to Europe one after another, and this time it is the newly formed Chinese Expeditionary Fleet Command and auxiliary ships such as cruisers and destroyers.Prepare to escort and transport the officers and soldiers of the third batch of an infantry corps of the Chinese Expeditionary Army to Europe.

In the military port, the military music was loud and clear, but the sky was a bit dark, and there was still some misty drizzle falling intermittently.The officers and soldiers of the National Defense Forces neatly lined up were silently boarding the boat, and a group of people organized by the Kuomintang and the Youth Party who did not know the truth waved flags in the distance and let out bursts of hoarse cheers.

Today's waves are not small, pushing the large warships of the Chinese expeditionary fleet in the port to fluctuate and fluctuate. This time, there are two Guangzhou-class air defense cruisers, four Konigsberg-class light cruisers, four destroyers, and Some transport ships and a hospital ship.At this time, the two super battleships Zhenyuan and Dingyuan have passed through the Suez Canal and will soon arrive in Europe!In this regard, the British Empire, the world's naval overlord, has expressed dissatisfaction in private. If the war situation in Poland is not really tight, the world revolution will soon spread to Western Europe... They will definitely not develop a canal to allow the Chinese fleet to pass.In addition, the British Admiralty has also formulated a plan to transfer all battleships originally stationed around the world back to the mainland when necessary, to guard against the Sino-German joint fleet with six super battleships.

On the bridge of the air defense cruiser Guangzhou, the flagship of the Chinese expeditionary fleet, Luo Yaoguo, who came to see off the expeditionary force, was standing side by side with Admiral Long Tenghui, the commander of the expeditionary fleet.The two of them watched the scene of the magnificent army marching at the port, but neither of them untied their brows.

"Auxiliary commander, is it really possible for us to go to Europe this time to fight with the British navy? They are the world's naval overlord, and with the power of China and Germany, I am afraid they are not their opponents..."

"Why? I don't think the British Navy has superpowers either!"

"The navy of the British Empire has been able to dominate the world for hundreds of years. It must have its unique features. Even if it declined after World War I, it is by no means something that we and Germany can compete with. Among other things, the total number of battleships alone Tonnage, the UK has 56 tons! And we and Germany together have only six Zhenyuan-class ships, a mere 24 tons, which is less than half of theirs! Once we fight, we can’t help others consume it.”

Luo Yaoguo glanced at the worried Commander Long of the expedition fleet, and said with a faint smile: "But our six Zhenyuan-class ships are stronger than any British battleship! And with the help of the German Air Force, I think this battle is a good one." There's nothing wrong with that."

"With all due respect, although our Zhenyuan-class battleship is powerful, the UK also has several very good battleships. For example, the HMS Hood with a standard displacement of 4 tons is two times larger than our Zhenyuan-class battleship. Thousand tons, and the main guns are 8 15-inch 42-fold diameters comparable to ours... The British Nelson and Rodney are also very powerful battleships, although their standard displacement is less than 3 Tons, but it is equipped with three triple-mounted 4-inch 3-caliber turrets. This kind of artillery should be able to easily penetrate the defense of the Zhenyuan class. It is a very big threat to us! Assistant Commander! Our battleships are hard-won Yes!" Long Tenghui's face was slightly ugly, probably because he was worried that the battle with the British fleet would destroy the "weak" Chinese navy.

Although the British Empire, the world's naval overlord, has long been a paper tiger, it is a paper tiger with a very mighty appearance. If someone did not pierce it, no one would be able to tell it at a glance.

Luo Yaoguo knew what Long Tenghui was thinking, smiled lightly, and patted the thick bridge deck of the Guangzhou.

"What are we building these valuable large warships for? Isn't it just to create a large enough living space for China? And the direction of our expansion is the north, and the second is Nanyang...Compared to Siberia, Central Asia, and Nanyang are more important to the development of our country in the next ten to 20 years, especially the warm and humid climate there is very conducive to the growth of crops, which can greatly ease our food supply. The people depend on food! Our Chinese history The root cause of the civil strife is the lack of enough food. So after we defeat the Soviet Union, we will soon go south! Capture the Nanyang territories of Britain, France, and the Netherlands. The navy of the British Empire is undoubtedly the key to our strategic goal Even if they hide far away in Australia to act as a fleet, it will still be a big constraint on our actions. Therefore, your task is to do everything possible to destroy or contain the main force of the British fleet in Europe."
