Chapter 701 Kazan must not be lost

The door of the office of the Nanjing Ministry of Defense Building was pushed open, and a communications officer ran in panting, waving a telegram, "Sir, Chief, Kazan, Kazan, Kazan attacked in."

As the staff officer's loud voice rang in the office, everyone in the office looked at the staff officer.

The reckless guy then found that more than a dozen people with golden light on their shoulders in the office were staring at him intently. Between them, there was a young man in his thirty-year-old dressed in Zhongshan suit, with a pretty face but a sense of unfury and dignity. The staff officer felt that an invisible breath that almost suffocated him rushed towards him and almost breathlessly.

A major general with two stars on his shoulder asked with a calm face, "What the hell is it?"

This major general is Xu Li, the director of the General Staff Operations Department of the Ministry of National Defense, and the staff officer who broke in was a direct subordinate of his rashness. Today, Su Tong came to the Ministry of National Defense to listen to the report. Even Premier Li Zongren, Minister of Defense Jiang Baili, Chief of Staff Bai Chongxi and other officials were present to listen to the report. Seeing that his subordinates were embarrassed in front of so many bosses, Xu Li was very displeased, so his tone was also very bad.

The rash staff officer realized his recklessness at this time. His actions of rushing into the office rashly must have left a frivolous and unstable impression on his boss, which was something that a staff officer tried hard to avoid.

"Sir, I, I," the staff officer who realized that he had disturbed the affairs of the superior stood at a loss and his face turned red.

Seeing the staff officer's appearance, Su Tong, who was standing among the crowd, couldn't help but smile and said gently: "Okay, don't stand there, what good thing makes you so excited."

"Uh" The staff officer was stunned when he saw the president asking him.

"You idiot, why don't you answer the president's question quickly." Xu Li, who was standing beside him, cursed with regret.

"Oh" The staff officer who finally came to his senses quickly stood at the scene, saluted everyone with a "slap" and said loudly, "Report to all the officials, Chief Sun, the commander of the Second Army Group, came to report that after a daytime battle, the Second Army Group had successively conquered the Soviet army's peripheral positions in Kazan yesterday afternoon, and wiped out nearly 70,000 Soviet troops. Now they are organizing forces to launch street fighting against the Soviet army defending in Kazan city."

"Well" Su Tong nodded without comment after hearing the staff's words, turned to Jiang Baili beside him and said, "Don Ning, the periphery of Kazan has been broken now. Do you think you will continue to order the troops to capture Kazan in one go or use Kazan as bait to lure some more Soviet troops to come and attack the aid of the aid."

Jiang Baili touched his gray hair and pondered for a while before saying: "According to the information, the Soviet army's troops in Kazan have reached 600,000. Although we have wiped out nearly 70,000 of them on the periphery, it can be seen from this that the Soviet commander did not think of a large-scale field battle with us on the plains, but instead shrank all the troops in the city and carried out street fighting with us with complex terrain. This is also one of the main reasons why they were able to stop the German army in the suburbs of Moscow. Elite Germans, such as Germans, have suffered more than 400,000 casualties under the city of Moscow. We must be wary. Kazan is a big city, and as Moscow and Umyanovgrad are one of the three major Soviet cities. If we want to capture Kazan, we may suffer a lot of casualties."

Su Tong sneered after hearing this: "Hmph, the Russians want to use the means to deal with the Germans to deal with us and consume our troops. They made the wrong plan this time. We don't have anything else, but there are many soldiers. The soldiers we recruited from North Korea and Vietnam are not sitting there to consume food. One million people eat us and drink us every day. It's their turn to work hard to fight attrition with us? I'm as you wish."

Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in Su Tong's eyes and said sternly to Bai Chongxi: "Sign up to Sun Liren, starting today, all the members of the North Korean Army and the Vietnam Army took turns to launch uninterrupted attacks on Kazan day and night. In addition, another 500,000 troops were recruited from Vietnam and North Korea. Even if Kazan is a bottomless pit, I will fill it up."

Bai Chongxi felt nervous. He knew that his fellow villager was going to use a knife to kill people again, but he had no objection to Su Tong's actions. After all, it was not his compatriots who died, so he immediately replied solemnly: "Yes, I'll give orders immediately."

With the issuance of Su Tong's order, Kazan, a historic city, immediately fell into a bloody storm.

General Chernyakovsky Ivan Danilovic, the commander-in-chief of Kazan, was standing in front of a sand table with his hands behind his back, thinking about the battle situation in recent days.

General Chernyakovsky was a brave and resourceful general in the Soviet Union. Before the war began, he concluded that if the Soviet army had been preparing for more than one million on the plains outside Kazan for more than a year, the Chinese army that had been armed to the teeth had no chance of winning at all. The only way to defend Kazan was to turn Kazan into a solid fortress like Moscow and Umianovgrad, and use the complex terrain in the city to build countless fortresses to stop the attack of the Chinese and make Kazan their tombs. After they could not bear such a large casualty, the Soviet army might have the chance to save Kazan.

Some time ago, China transferred an army group back to the country. Their army in the Soviet Union had been reduced to more than 3.5 million, and there were still many places to be stationed. With such a vast territory as the Soviet Union, they would not be able to draw too many troops to Kazan. They would definitely fight quickly.

The facts were not beyond General Chernyakhovsky's expectations. After conquering the outer defense line after Kazan, the Chinese side immediately launched an attack on the suburbs of Kazan. After receiving the report, General Chernyakhovsky immediately ordered the troops to launch a counterattack according to the plan. So far, the sound of gunfire in the suburbs of Kazan has been resounding for three days. In these three days, the Soviet army has repelled dozens of attacks on China, and the battle situation is very fierce. In order to build fortifications, the command center ordered all Kazan citizens to go to the streets to help the army build bunkers, bunkers and other fortifications. In short, more than 900,000 Kazan citizens, regardless of age, mobilized, turning Kazan into a huge military fortress.

After three days of battle, both sides suffered a lot of casualties, but generally speaking, the casualties of China as the offensive side were still larger than those of the Soviet Union. This can be concluded from the reports of each defense zone.

"Hmph, aren't the Chinese people very brave? Then let me let you dry your blood here." Chernyakhovsky thought to himself that he still had more than 500,000 troops in his hands. If he continued to fight at such a casualty ratio, even if the Chinese army could capture Kazan, their casualties would be at least 700,000 to 800,000. Chernyakhovsky believed that such casualty rate was absolutely unacceptable to the Chinese side.

Just as Chernyakovsky was considering mobilizing the troops to replace the troops in a region with heavy casualties, an officer came to report: "Report to the commander, our people caught several prisoners this morning, and after interrogation, they obtained some new situations."

"What's the situation?" Chernyakhovsky asked casually.

"After our interrogation, the captives were not the regular army of China, but the minion army composed of Vietnam and North Korea."

"What kind of Servant Army?" Chernyakovsky turned around in disbelief and asked sternly, "Have you asked clearly, all those who have participated in the attack in the past three days are those Servant Army."

"Yes," the officer's voice was filled with helplessness. "After interrogating the prisoners, we ordered each defense zone to check the bodies left by the enemy. The documents they carried also showed that they were all North Korean and Vietnamese soldiers, but they were just wearing military uniforms of the Chinese National Defense Forces."

"Bastards, how can they do this?" In the end, Chernyakhovsky's voice gradually lowered. Yes, why can't they? Now the Chinese obviously want these servants to consume the strength of the Soviet Russian army. Thinking of the more hateful Chinese lackeys, Alexey's Russian guards[] and the Chinese National Defense Forces were eyeing each other, and Chernyakhovsky's heart became cold.

"So, the Chinese are fighting the same ideology as themselves. I still underestimate those Chinese too much."

Chernyakovsky murmured, and then ordered sternly: "Send a newspaper to Moscow immediately and tell Comrade Stalin about the situation here, and ask Moscow to send reinforcements, aircraft and artillery immediately, the more the number, the better. I have a premonition that the Kazan form will deteriorate soon."

"Yes, Comrade Commander" the officer saluted and immediately walked out.

When Chernyakovsky's telegram was handed to Stalin, it was already midnight in Moscow. Looking at the telegram asking for help in his hand, Stalin's beard, whose surname was named, couldn't help but shake a few times.

I originally thought that General Chernyakovsky and an army of 600,000 were guarding Kazan, and they would resist the Chinese for at least half a year. Unexpectedly, the Chinese actually used despicable human-sea tactics. What's worse was that they just drove their servants to take turns to fight, but they were watching the fun behind them, which made Stalin feel a little confused.

After thinking for a long time, Stalin finally made a decision. He picked up a red phone call on the table: "Is the General Staff? I ordered you to immediately send at least one army or more to support Kazan. You must be quick, and Kazan must not be lost."
