"Why panic?" Cui Kefu straightened his back, showing the temperament of a famous general, "the enemy doesn't have three divisions, it's just that our people mistook the enemy's new firearms for machine guns in their panic, and miscalculated the enemy's situation!" Miscalculation, judging the number based on the enemy's machine guns or artillery sounds in night combat is stipulated in the Soviet Red Army training rules.
"You go and organize all the personnel in the military department, and follow me! Let's fight back these Chinese devils!" Chuikov loudly issued an order to the chief of staff, and reached out to take a Mosin Nagant rifle from the guard , strode out without looking back.
Sun Liren and Huang Hui stayed in the shelter set up on a small hill, holding binoculars and staring at the constantly flashing flames on the opposite side of the Yenisei River.They didn't know that their two battalions were attacking an enemy corps headquarters, they only knew that there was an artillery position, which was seen by the pilot of the transport plane that dropped supplies in the afternoon.Due to the troubles of several Soviet I-15s, the airlift of the National Defense Forces was forced to be changed to airdrops. However, the airborne troops have just started. Howitzers are more difficult... Without the support of large-caliber artillery, there is no way to carry out this positional warfare!So Sun Liren wanted to make a surprise attack at night and destroy the enemy's artillery positions!
"It doesn't look like it's going to work." Sun Liren sighed softly, "Send a signal flare and let them retreat."
Huang Hui, commander of the First Airborne Division, shook his head: "Commander, I think we can try again. Our firepower is stronger than the opponent's, and the soldiers have received strict training."
"No! We have few people and cannot afford to consume." Sun Liren put down his binoculars and strode up to the staff officers who were studying the battle situation in front of the map.His face was tight, and the flickering light of the lantern made his face flickering.
He said loudly to the chief of staff: "Give power to the base camp, and ask them to organize another airdrop tomorrow and send me the 3rd regiment of the [-]st Airborne Division. I am afraid we have a tough battle to fight here! In addition, let them airdrop a batch of winter clothes... …Siberia is so cold."
Sun Liren's face was livid, as if he had never been so serious before.This battle was the first time his paratroopers took to the battlefield.If you fight well and become famous in the world, if you can't defend Krasnoyarsk, then the airborne troops are not the pride of the Wehrmacht, but a laughing stock!Especially that hot-headed Natalie Lesinskaya was also in Krasnoyarsk. If Stalin's men captured her, Luo Yaoguo would lose his wife and lose his army!The foreign minister has gone home.I don't know what is the use of this woman staying here?
……
"Martynov, haven't we seen each other for 16 years?" Natalie was holding a cup of steaming coffee at this time in a luxuriously decorated office.The "arrested" First Secretary of the Krasnoyarsk Territory Party Committee was sitting opposite her, and a big, unfriendly Belarusian stared at him, as if he was going to eat him alive.However, the staunch communist no longer has the panic when he was arrested. He now knows that he was not arrested by the internal affairs personnel, but by the enemy!What's so scary about the enemy?Old Communists are not afraid.
Seeing the stubborn look on the other side, Natalie nodded with a smile, and said: "You are still the same, a tough guy with strong bones, you can't be frightened by the tsar's hard labor and the white Russian whip, even if you are shot! But I heard you peed your pants when they arrested you, is that true? Communists get scared too?"
Martynov looked up at Natalie, and said coldly: "It depends on who we are dealing with. Of course we are not afraid of the enemy's guns! But the mechanism is different. Communists are tough in front of the enemy, but in In front of the superior is a docile white rabbit, don't you know?"
"Is it tough in front of the enemy?" Natalie smiled: "But Barnov, the commander of the 21st Army, surrendered to the Queen with his army, a whole army!" She paused and said: " Why don't you surrender too... You must know how many labor camps there are, how many prisoners there are, how many defenders there are, how many material reserves there are in Krasnoyarsk, and where they are stored. As long as you tell the truth Come out, I can ask the queen to give you a Marquis... and we can also announce that we have killed you, the First Secretary of the Krasnoyarsk Border Region! Then your family in Moscow will not be in danger, You will also become a glorious martyr's family. Otherwise, we will say that you surrendered to us and accepted the title of Marquis...Martynov, you know that Stalin has a very bad temper! And it is still an extraordinary time !"
Natalie said his opinion slowly, her expression was normal, she had a confident smile.
"What! Barnov surrendered? It's impossible, impossible... How could an army commander betray the motherland?"
"He didn't betray the motherland!" Natalie said with a deep smile, "He just betrayed the Bolshevik Party and Stalin! He is now the commander of the No.13 Army of the Russian Imperial Army, and he is fighting for Russia! Russia is the real The motherland, the Soviet Union is just a prison imposed on the Russian people by the Bolsheviks! Martynov... please return to the real motherland, the Russian people will appreciate you!"
Chapter 0737 raid (twelfth) century gambling
On October 1937, 10, Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union, the Kremlin.
Dark clouds hang over the communist capital, and the weather in Moscow this autumn has been as depressing as the current war in the Far East.Although the sacred sickle and hammer flag is still flying high on the top of Lenin's Mausoleum on Red Square, in the eyes of Moscow citizens passing by, this flag has faded a bit.The report of the defeat of the Borgia Fortress in the Far East has come, and the Kremlin has simply admitted it.A fortress was lost on the border, and it was impossible to hide it.However, regarding the "surrender" of the 21st Army, the Kremlin flatly denied it. According to the battle report they reported, the 21st Army killed three times as many Chinese troops as itself, and fought to the last man...but the Soviet people were not A three-year-old child doesn't know if it takes 3 days to kill 4 to 40 Chinese in 50 days?These guys from the 21st Army are not killing machines!Moreover, the entire army was wiped out, so how do you count other people's casualties?
At this time, a long line of black cars with the logo of the general of the Soviet Red Army lined up. Under the expectant eyes of passing Moscow citizens, they slowly drove into the solemn Kremlin.Look at this posture, Comrade Stalin is convening the military strategists of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army to discuss countermeasures again!Hopefully someone today will come up with a clever plan to save the Soviet Fatherland.
The Kremlin's military meetings are, of course, the highest-level secrets.The meeting was held in a long conference room, and those who could participate in the conversation were Molotov, Voroshilov, Shaposhnikov, and Tukhachev, who had been secretly summoned back from Leningrad Ski and a few others.Stalin sat in the middle of the front of the conference room with a livid face, and was reviewing a document in his hand. This was a document that "sealed" Lieutenant General Barnov and other generals of the 21st Army as "Heroes of the Soviet Union"!Seeing some prominent Bolsheviks walk in, they didn't even raise their heads, but said in a hoarse voice, "Sit down, everyone sit down!"
The big men were not polite, and they found their seats and sat down. After a sound of chairs being pulled, the meeting room was still dead silent.Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and finally looked at Stalin, as if waiting for him to get angry.
Stalin had reason to be angry this time. China's all-out offensive had only begun a few days ago, and the Amur River defense line known as the Eastern Maginot was torn apart!And it also wiped out a whole Soviet army!No!Not eliminated but persuaded to surrender... A group army of the Red Army led by the commander and acting political commissar surrendered to the sworn enemy of the Soviet!Now, the whole world knows that the Soviet Union is doomed, that the Soviet Union is hopeless, and no one will make any more deals with the Soviet Union.If the attitudes of Germany and Japan are still ambiguous, they must be false!There must be some conspiracy... In fact, Germany's friendship with the Soviet Union does not seem to have changed a bit after the Borgia surrender!The Soviet-German front was also calm as usual.Perhaps another perfidious sneak attack is already in the works?
"There has been news from Berlin that after learning of Borgia's surrender, Hitler, the German head of state, entrusted Ribbentrop to bring a message to our emissary. He said: 'The German Empire is willing to keep all the secrets reached with the Soviet Union. open or public agreement...'Molotov, Voroshilov, Tukhachevsky, what do you think. Is Hitler deceiving us?"
Stalin's tone was very peaceful, without a hint of tendency. It seemed that the communist dictator really wanted his subordinates to give him advice.
"The probability that Hitler deceived us is almost [-]%!" Tukhachevsky was the first to answer, straightforward, without a trace of uncertainty.The Soviet Union has reached this point. If the people above cannot be open and honest, there may be no room for salvation at all.
Stalin nodded, "Comrade Tukhachevsky's views are the same as mine! Hitler, like Luo Yaoguo, must be planning a large-scale invasion. And I guess this invasion is the real ultimate move to destroy the Soviet Union!" What Hitler wanted was the life of every single one of us here... So, now we must unite to save the Soviet motherland and save Lenin's party! You can bring up any good idea, you can bring it up.”
Voroshilov and Molotov looked at each other and shook their heads repeatedly to express their helplessness.Tukhachevsky said loudly in Russian with a beautiful Moscow accent: "Comrade Stalin, you are right, now the motherland has reached the most dangerous moment, if we do nothing, we will only die! "
"Do you have any good ideas? Do you want to withdraw the troops from Poland? Let's stick to the Stalin line so that we may repel the enemy..."
Tukhachevsky took a deep breath and shook his head. "It's useless! Stalin's defense line and the Amur River defense line use the same standard. Since the Chinese can knock down the Amur River defense line, the German army with the same equipment, training, and tactical thinking is even slightly stronger. Of course, it can also defeat Stalin Line of defense!"
"It's really useless? You proposed Stalin's line of defense! Comrade Tukhachevsky." Stalin's tone was more or less reproachful.
"I was wrong, Comrade Stalin, I will review it with you. I did not expect that the dive bombers of the Chinese and German armies could carry 1.5 tons of bombs! This is terrible... Even the most powerful battleship in the world can drop Let alone those not too thick reinforced concrete fortifications on Stalin’s defense line?” Tukhachevsky’s expression became serious, he fixedly looked at Stalin, took a deep breath and said: “We can’t count on this A line of defense! But maybe there is a way to try... just try!"
"Speak!" Stalin said: "Comrade Tukhachevsky, please stop hesitating, time is running out!"
Tukhachevsky nodded heavily, and said loudly: "My suggestion is that we act first before Germany launches an attack! Just like dealing with Poland."
Stalin raised his head, opened his mouth wide, and looked at Tukhachevsky, completely stunned.Several other people in the room also looked at this "Red Napoleon" with fixed eyes, waiting for his further explanation.
Tukhachevsky walked to the huge military map of Eastern Europe hanging on the wall, and pointed at Brest and Baranovich with a baton.Said: "According to the report of the Polish Front Army, the defense of the Polish White Army is now on the verge of collapse. If there is no accident, before the end of October, these two places will fall into the hands of the Red Army, and the military power of White Poland will also be completely disintegrated. "
"So what? Germany will still attack!" Shaposhnikov said.
Tukhachevsky smiled at him, "Yes, Comrade General, your analysis is very accurate, they will come, but in what month will they attack?"
Shaposhnikov lowered his head and calculated, "October must be too late... The weather in Eastern Europe in November is bad, with frequent rain and snow and muddy roads. It is not a good day for invasion. I think the Germans will attack on December 1937." Although it was cold at that time, the roads were frozen hard and the weather was fine. It was suitable for large armies to fight, especially for mechanized warfare! Moreover, our Red Army General Staff estimated that Germany's main attack direction would be from the enemy. Fighting south, the climate will be warmer when they hit Ukraine in the south, they may spend the winter there, and then attack Moscow in May of the next year."
"Very well, this analysis makes sense, that is to say, the Germans will not take any action in November, and we have no action... I suggest that our 11 million Red Army of Workers and Peasants step on the ground in the rain and snow in November. Take the muddy road and launch a decisive blow to the 500 million enemies! If we win, the world revolution will be just around the corner. With a hint of lament, only God knows how sure of success this desperate plan is!Perhaps the Germans will use a clean counterattack to destroy the entire main force of the Red Army, and then march into Moscow with the corpse of the red Soviet Union?But if you don't do this, the final result will be the same.The surrender of Borgia showed that those officers and soldiers of the Soviet Red Army were happy to choose the queen in the face of death and Queen Anastasia.
Stalin suddenly slapped the table and stood up, shouting: "Comrade Tukhachevsky, how sure are you of victory? Please tell the truth!" This reaction startled several people in the conference room.Seeing that Stalin's face was ashen as black, his eyes were red, and his lips were trembling, as if he was about to gamble his life.
Tukhachevsky shook his head and sighed: "11% or [-]%! After all, such a large military mobilization, the possibility of the other party not being aware of it is almost zero, and with the rigor of the Germans, the raid should be Impossible! Everything can only be head-to-head! Use the bad weather and muddy roads in November to minimize the advantages of the opponent's tanks and aircraft, and then use the superiority of numbers to crush them!"
Stalin's chest heaved greatly, his face was also black and white, and his brows were tightly knit, as if he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.
"What do you think? Comrade Shaposhnikov, you are the chief of the general staff of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, come and give me advice now!" Stalin was silent for a while, still unable to make up his mind, so he turned to ask Shaposhnikov General's view.
The general smiled wryly, "Comrade Tukhachevsky's analysis is good. This is the only chance. If you completely switch to defense, it is tantamount to giving up the initiative, and then there is no chance at all."
After listening to the advice of Tukhachevsky and the chief of staff of the Red Army, Stalin froze for a moment, his expression had returned to calm, and he waved his hand imposingly: "Okay, let's use this method, let's act first , we must seriously damage the main force of fascist Germany!" He looked at Tukhachevsky and Shaposhnikov seriously and said, "I don't want a [-]% probability of success, I want a [-]% probability of success, you two know Is it gone?"
……
"The next target is Chita!" In the headquarters of the Northeast Front Army of China, the room was already filled with senior officers.Everyone looked at Luo Yaoguo and Bai Chongxi with serious faces.The two of them stood in front of a huge map.His eyes are like lightning.The atmosphere in the meeting room was so tense and serious that it was a bit dull.Behind this tense and serious atmosphere, there is a kind of secretly surging excitement.The decisive battle is coming, and it will be an unprecedented scene!
On the map, the Amur River Defense Line, once called the "Oriental Maginot Line of Defense" by the Soviet Union, has been torn a huge breach in the westernmost section!The Chita Fortress, the last and most important stronghold of the Far Eastern Front, is right in front of you!Pointed firmly by a giant blue arrow.Now there are exactly eight Soviet infantry corps and three Soviet cavalry corps there!The designations of eleven armies and 33 divisions crowded the place to the brim.These are all valuable information provided by the Marquis of Barnov. Even if there are some adjustments now, the changes will not be too big.
Bai Chongxi's baton was pointing to the Chita area. This general in the Chinese National Defense Forces is second only to An Sihua in prestige. After this battle, it seems that he will be promoted to Marshal before General An!Now is the time to be confident and ready to go big.
"Brother Fuwen." Bai Chongxi is Luo Yaoguo's sworn elder brother, so it is most appropriate to take advantage of him as his younger brother.He pointed to Chita and said: "I and the generals of the General Command of the Northeast Front Army all believe that the Chita Fortress should be taken down before the cold winter! Not just besieged!"
Now only Bai Chongxi and An Sihua dared to put forward different suggestions from Luo Yaoguo in public.All the officers below turned their eyes to Luo Yaoguo, but the Marshal looked calm, smiling and nodding.He and Bai Chongxi have no conflict of interest, they are completely one, and naturally they are willing to listen to his suggestions.Everyone also listened attentively to what he said.
"In the just-concluded Battle of Borgia, our Wehrmacht and the Russian Imperial Army took down the so-called indestructible fortress in just a few days! The defense of this fortress now seems to be completely strong from the outside and can't stop us Train artillery, let alone our latest A-4a Thunderhawk dive bombers... In this case, why do we need to spend time besieging it? And if we want to besiege the fortress, we have to put a large number of troops in the cold of the Far East During the winter, we estimate that there will be a certain degree of frostbite... Even the people with frostbite will suffer more casualties than storming the fortress! Moreover, the impact of breaking the Chita fortress on the Soviet army is far greater than the encirclement, as long as we destroy them in the end Chita, I believe that the Red Army in the Far East of the Soviet Union will soon join Empress Anastasia, and the war in the Far East and East Siberia will be won."
Borgia's easy victory seems to have made the generals of the Chinese National Defense Forces no longer afraid of the fortress.This completely outdated defense system can't stop the attack of the modern army at all. The only difference is how much time is spent, how many shells and bombs are used, oh, and cannon fodder!There is no shortage of cannon fodder now. The Russian Empress has more than 40 troops to use. The Japanese have seen that the Soviet Red Army is easy to bully, and they are eager to try these two days... After all, what they can get after the Battle of the Soviet Union is still the result of the battle As for the hook, if it is just soy sauce, then the Chinese are already doing their best to give the northern part of Sakhalin Island.If you want the Far East coastal area, you still have to show results.Anyway, Japanese lives are not very valuable now, those senior Japanese generals don't care, what does Luo Yaoguo care about?
"Count Sinei, is your country's army ready this time?" Luo Yaoguo glanced at Si Nei, who had the cheek to come to the meeting. This round of attack by the Chinese army and the Russian army, the Japanese did not know in advance. Using this excuse to say that I am not ready... is completely a mentality of watching for nothing.Unexpectedly, the Chinese won a complete victory in just a few days.If you don't join at this time, how will you divide the spoils after the war?
"We now have five infantry divisions in the Far East, and several detachments. However, our divisions are all two brigades and four regiments, as well as four auxiliary regiments of artillery, engineering, transportation, and cavalry. The military strength is very substantial, with five divisions and several detachments, no less than 16 people! And we also have an aviation wing to help in the battle." Said the general of the temple, he stood at attention, nodded heavily: "The Emperor of Japan The army has made full preparations, so I hope to be the vanguard of this operation! Just hand over the Chita Fortress to us. Only after the victory of the war, the empire also hopes that you can keep your promise..."
"Okay then! Please rest assured, Earl, the Far East coastal area will be handed over to Japan... Since the Japanese allies are willing to take on this arduous task, then I can rest assured." Luo Yaoguo smiled and nodded, there is Japanese cannon fodder to use Of course it is desirable.He scanned the audience, exuding a rare aggressive aura.His baton tapped the table lightly, and said lightly:
"If the Japanese army participates in the war, we will concentrate 11 infantry armies (including three White Russian armies), three cavalry armies, and five Japanese divisions around Chita in late October. The total strength exceeds 70! The Soviet Red Army is believed to be only 45! Our army is 25 more than the enemy! It has an overwhelming advantage. I will not talk about the significance of this battle. Difficulties... First, the enemy's fortress is strong. Everyone saw Bor It’s wrong for Jia Hao to fight because the Chita is the same! The second is the weather in the Far East of the Soviet Union, especially the roads in early winter are a bit muddy, and it will be ice and snow in December. I hope all the troops can be mentally prepared and don’t be too late. .”
