Chapter 50 Turning
"Hold on for the last three hours!" This was Frunze and Stalin's request to the Soviet troops on the front line!
The Ob River is not too wide. In winter, the river surface is less than 100 meters. When it freezes, crossing the river takes only a few dozen seconds. But now the river is covered with ice floes. If you accidentally fall through the holes, you can't cross the river at all.
The only hope is the pontoon bridge, but it is too difficult to build a bridge at this time. Three hours to erect the pontoon bridge is already the fastest speed.
Obviously, Liu Mingzhao, who was in charge of the main attack section, would not give the Soviet army this time. At his request, the artillery regiment concentrated a hundred howitzers, aimed at the position in the 500-meter section in the middle, and carried out the most violent bombardment for half an hour.
"Warriors of the National Defense Force, when I was still studying at Wuhu Army University, I had the honor to listen to Fu Shuai's class. I clearly remember Fu Shuai said that persistence is victory, and the outcome of a war is often decided in the last five minutes. Now.
, it is getting dark, and the brothers in the Air Force can no longer give us any support. At this time, we can only look to us. When we meet on a narrow road, the brave will win, rush forward, kill the old man! Fight a bloody road to national rejuvenation!"
Liu Mingzhao said this to one hundred commandos before his final charge.
In the last attack before dark, a hundred commandos crouched and trotted behind three tanks. The Soviet army did not have many anti-tank weapons. They put the tanks past the first trench and prepared to hit the infantry behind them. But what awaited them was
It was a fire arrow composed of a hundred submachine guns and four grenades per person. Facing skilled infantry and tank coordination and fierce close combat firepower, the remaining Soviet troops had almost no results and were all killed in the trenches.
The entire defense thickness of the Soviet army was less than two thousand meters. After a fierce battle during the day, the remaining defense thickness was less than one thousand meters. One point was broken through, and the entire line collapsed. Behind them was the Ob River. If it had not been a last-ditch battle, the Soviet army would have been short of ammunition.
It was impossible to withstand a whole day. As for now, the results came out. The Soviet soldiers were driven like ducks. They kept jumping into the cold river water. From the breakthrough point to the end of the fierce battle, it took a whole night before they finally calmed down.
From the time the Soviet troops jumped into the pit to the end of the battle, it took about thirty-three hours. 120,000 Soviet troops were wiped out, countless people fell into the water, and more than 10,000 soldiers froze to death and drowned in the Ob River. 70,000 Soviet troops were captured.
The rest were killed in the battle. More than 5,000 seriously wounded Soviet soldiers had no chance to become prisoners and were stabbed to death by their compatriots, the White Russian troops.
The Ob River has returned to calm, but the Soviet army on the other side is lacking supplies and is in a dilemma.
The news was sent back to Moscow. After a whole day's meeting, Frunze received the order, and the troops were handed over to the command of special envoy Stalin, who returned to Moscow. After two days of fierce fighting, the Novosibirsk battlefield was quiet for three days, and the Soviet army did not
Continuing the offensive, the coalition forces had no intention of taking the initiative. Only the air force was still frantically bombing the Siberian Railway.
Within three days, the Soviet army dispatched more than 200 fighter jets in an attempt to regain air supremacy. After two days and five battles, the Chinese Air Force achieved a brilliant result of 31:135, and the skies over Siberia were once again cleared.
"I have to say that the Soviet army is too confident! If we wait for a while and have 200 aircraft to support the attack again, our life will be much more difficult." Qi Zhenghong was in a good mood. He raised his hand towards Kolchak across the table.
cup.
"General Qi, what are your plans next?" Kolchak replied and took a sip of the red wine in his glass. He had been pondering this question for a long time. Qi Zhenghong shrugged and said, "If the Soviet army ceases the war,
, I think there is nothing for me to do next. But you need to seize the time to clean up the internal problems and improve the quality of the army. Frankly speaking, the current standard of the Belarusian army is too poor. It seems that the First World War did not teach the Belarusian army attitude.
something.”
Kolchak's expression was obviously stunned. He put down the knife and fork in his hand, looked at Qi Zhenghong opposite him with doubtful eyes and said, "Can you make it more clear?" At this time, Kolchak seemed to understand that the Chinese
He has no intention of staying in Novosibirsk. No matter what the final result is, even if the Chinese withdraw from the entire Far East, Kolchak will not be grateful to the Chinese. This is a nationalist who only has Russia's interests at heart and will not let the Chinese use the volunteer army.
The form of participation in the war has changed.
"What will happen to your army if the Red Army retreats?" Kolchak had already realized something and spoke in a heavy tone.
"This is not something I can decide." Qi Zhenghong sighed. In fact, he wanted to pursue. The problem was a telegram from Beijing, "If the Soviet army retreats, our army cannot pursue it as far as Omsk." The telegram was signed by Fang Jianxiong,
It is impossible for Qi Zhenghong to violate it.
"It seems that I need to go to Beijing." Kolchak stood up, nodded gracefully, and got up to go out.
There are big differences in the Military Commission on whether to attack Omsk. The root cause is that the logistics pressure is too great. War is a waste of money, especially this war, which can be said to have taken away all the good things in the hands of the National Defense Forces.
, it would be even more expensive. Not to mention anything else, the consumption of ammunition is an astronomical sum. In comparison, transportation is still a small expense. As the saying goes, before the three armies are moved, food and grass will go first. This battle seems to have not been fought for a long time.
God, in fact, the little wealth saved by the army was consumed by 7788.
Fortunately, all army equipment is domestically produced, but even this is a huge expense. Hundreds of thousands of people are fighting thousands of miles away. Of course, the generals at the front have a great time fighting, but the General Logistics Department at the rear has recently been forced to hang himself with a rope.
Duan Feng has come to Fang Jianxiong to complain several times. If this war continues, it will be a loss-making business. The little money the Americans gave is not enough to waste for a month. The National Defense Force is not an army like the Soviet Army and the Russian Army. Two people
A rifle can't do this kind of thing.
Originally, the task of the Wehrmacht in Novosibirsk was to defend. It would be over once the Soviet-Polish war started. Basically, there would be no major events this year. However, the Soviet-Polish war was advanced a few days, which did not change Frunze's determination to continue the attack. This
It was very annoying, so Fang Jianxiong was determined to beat up the Soviet army at all costs.
The determination was made, and naturally a huge investment was made. Who would have thought that the Soviet army was not as durable as expected. Less than 48 hours after the war started, Qi Zhenghong was severely beaten. Now the Soviet army has the intention to cease the war, but the massive
The supplies have been transported to Irkutsk, and countless warehouses are filled with supplies. Duan Feng almost died from exhaustion in the past six months.
Fang Jianxiong is not a warlike person and hopes for peaceful development, but this era of dog days is not an era for people to live in peace and development. Every time he thinks that there will be a behemoth in the north that can compete with the Western world in the future, Fang Jianxiong does not dare to
There is not the slightest carelessness. I am always thinking about making the Soviet Union consume more. This is the disadvantage of geographical location.
It's so sad. In the long two thousand years of history, the Chinese have occupied the most suitable places for human habitation in Asia during the scientifically backward era. The result is that the future will be surrounded by tigers and wolves.
The advantage of understanding has caught up the gap. In the future, we must not repeat the mistakes of the Republic, and we can only pinch our noses and tolerate being bullied.
To hell with all the talk of peaceful coexistence and world peace. This world has always been dominated by those with big fists. The US imperialists can dominate the world only by relying on their strength.
The branches in Beijing are already covered with verdant green, and the last trace of snow brought by the late spring cold is hiding from the sun in a corner and making its final struggle. The young staff officers in the hall of the General Staff War Room are arguing endlessly as always, and no one can
Convince the other party.
Wang Geng, the newly promoted operational staff officer of the Attendant's Office of the Marshal's Mansion, did not participate in the controversy. Instead, he stayed aside quietly, flipping through a thick document in his hand. Although he is still a captain, he often looks around with envious eyes.
Wang Geng has become the norm. In a war like this, the most difficult thing is not to charge and die in battle, but how to coordinate the relationship between hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people. To put it bluntly,
Everything is polite.
Only a few days after entering the attendant's room, Wang Geng realized how superficial it was to stay in the General Staff for a year and only do almost everything with maps. The Novosibirsk War consumed thousands of tons of supplies every day. Although
The Belarusian army was paid for their share, but the door-to-door service was not easy to provide.
It was obvious that Fang Jianxiong was training Wang Geng as a logistics talent. At that time, in the entire war room, only Wang Geng treated logistics issues as a major issue.
Fang Jianxiong came out of Jiang Fangzhen's office and talked with Jiang Fangzhen beside him as he walked: "Brother Baili, the battle in Novosibirsk will be settled in at least half a month. Without our army's attack, Kolchak cannot fight alone. But Gore
Chak should be able to capture Omsk. The morale of the Soviet army has reached its lowest point. But that's just it. The next step still depends on the competition on the negotiation table. It may not be beneficial to our army to continue the war in the afternoon."
These words were said in private, not at yesterday's meeting, and Jiang Fangzhen felt deeply trusted. Sometimes what Fang Jianxiong did and said sounded a bit like a stickman, but nine times out of ten, he was expected.
For example, when the Soviet-Polish War broke out, Fang Jianxiong predicted that the Allies would definitely not stop there.
Hugh, he might incite the newly independent Poland to go to war. When the Soviet-Polish war broke out, Jiang Fangzhen was naturally shocked. Cai E and Zhang Xiaohuai privately judged that the Military Intelligence Bureau should have obtained the information, but Jiang Fangzhen did not think so, because in Germany
When I was young, I had seen Fang’s divine prediction.
Wang Geng stood up and stepped forward, saluting: "Commander Fu, Mr. Jiang." The two of them stood still and smiled in return. Jiang Fangzhen looked at the heroic Wang Geng with satisfaction and said with a smile: "You are lucky, follow Fu Shuai."
Study hard with Shuai around you, and what you learn in the next two or three years will be of endless use to you throughout your life."
Xue Yue, holding a telegram, hurried over and presented the telegram with both hands: "Commander Leng of the Lanzhou Military Region called." Jiang Fangzhen took the telegram and glanced at it, his brows furrowed enough to kill a fly. When Fang Jianxiong saw this, his face darkened and he said: "What happened?
Already?"
