PS: PS: Typing with one hand is so damn painful. That’s it for today.

Tashkent has become a city of death. 400,000 Soviet troops are surrounded. The nearest friendly forces are 800 kilometers away and have no intention of moving forward to rescue. The Chinese army does not fight, and Lu Jin has no intention of breaking out.

With the arrival of winter, hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops were trapped and struggling within a radius of less than 50 kilometers.

Moscow's meaning is very clear. Even if Lukin dies, he will die in Tashkent. Holding on is the only choice. At this time, Moscow needs time more than ever. Winter is a test for the Chinese army, and for the Soviet army

, isn’t it a period of hardship? It takes time to train new troops, it takes time to manufacture weapons and equipment, and it takes time to transport supplies. All of these can only be completed before the end of winter. The original winter counterattack is no longer available

It's possible. Chuikov suffered heavy casualties from the sudden attack launched by the Chinese at the beginning of the harsh winter. Especially the two mechanized armies were completely lost in the battle with the Chinese mechanized troops. The Siberian Front Army lost countless heavy weapons and equipment. The most critical thing is

Unfortunately, the Chinese army took the initiative to retreat after the victory. Chuikov remembered that it was too late to pursue, so he could only carefully send a small force to follow, and finally stopped on the bank of the Ob River. The Soviet Union claimed that the Siberian Front withstood the Chinese

After the fierce attack, the army launched a powerful counterattack and regained the territory west of the Ob River.

Even the Soviets probably couldn't believe this propaganda. If you had the ability, you could cross the Ob River.

For the National Defense Forces, it is helpless to give up the territory on the west bank of the Ob River. The section from Novosibirsk to Omsk is more than 600 kilometers inaccessible. In most areas, there is only a lonely Siberian Railway, and the road is covered with heavy snow. You can see it everywhere

Less than. In addition, the casualties of the troops are not small, and they are tired from long-term combat, so it is necessary to retire to rest and recuperate.

After retreating from the Amu Darya River, Zhukov's life was even more difficult. The winter in Central Asia was not as brutal as that in Siberia. As long as the weather was fine, the Chinese Air Force would go out for a walk and attack valuable targets when they saw them. In the past battles, the Air Force had almost all

After the fight, Zhukov could only stare blankly and repeatedly asked Moscow to provide new fighter units and ground air defense units.

Winter is not a good time for Lukin in Tashkent. The daily consumption of supplies amid heavy siege is not a small number. Now Lukin is already supplying limited supplies. Lukin even hopes that the Chinese army will launch an attack as soon as possible.

Okay. Speaking of which, Zhukov was defeated too quickly, otherwise the two heavily armed groups would have echoed each other. The battle situation would not end there.

Boom boom boom, explosions sounded. You didn’t even need to look to know that it was the Chinese heavy artillery going on a routine. After lunch every day, you would definitely come here for an hour. The big guys with 410 and 305 calibers were targeting those buildings that looked very conspicuous.

.

In Lukin's view, there is no problem with Tashkent's defenses. The problem is that there are too many people eating. Tashkent, which was originally operated as a fortress, maintained a food reserve of 100,000 people for half a year. Now, 400,000 people are eating, and it cannot last long. Local

The food in people's homes had long been plundered. The elderly and children were driven out of the city, and the young and middle-aged were forced to build fortifications. After the work was completed, there was no extra food for them to eat, and most of them were shot directly in the back of the head.

, and buried the matter on the spot. The most unlucky ones are the young women in the city. Rape has become too common in the past two months.

The war horse was walking slowly on a certain street in the city. Lu Jin would walk around the city every afternoon to let the soldiers see that he was still there. A woman was lying naked in the corner, her body already cold. Lu Jin

Seeing the expressionless face, he secretly sighed in his heart. This kind of thing is very common. The soldiers need to vent, otherwise there will definitely be other problems. Cruelly, Lu Jin continued to move forward without seeing it. The air raid siren sounded.

When he got up, the guard beside him pulled his bridle, looked up at the sky and said: "Comrade Commander, air attack! Hurry and hide."

Lu Jin said without changing his expression: "It's okay, the Chinese bombs will not be wasted on such deserted streets." After walking forward for a while, there were indeed dense explosions from the bunkers outside the city.

You can tell from the noise that there are no fewer than twenty bombers.

In recent times, the Chinese Air Force's bombings have mainly targeted some forts and bunker groups outside the city, and the bombardment targets are mainly these buildings. Lu Jin can feel that the Chinese attack will not last long. The winter will not be too long.

, continuing to retain the Tashkent-heavy force group is always a hidden danger for the Chinese. The 400,000 Soviet troops will hold back at least 800,000 Chinese troops.

At this time, Liu Mingzhao and the others happened to be observing the terrain of Tashkent on a mountain top. Looking at the dense fortifications, Liu Mingzhao's scalp was a little numb. Zhang Zhizhong's expression was also very serious. After the organization of the group army was abolished, Zhang Zizhong's current position is deputy general staff officer

Long, three people form a team.

"This tortoise shell is not easy to fight! The Soviet army has set up many solid fortifications on the periphery due to the favorable terrain. Judging from the interrogation materials, many of the forts are holes dug in the mountains. They have been in operation for many years and are very difficult to build. If it were not for time constraints, it would be slow

It's not a big deal if you wait around slowly." Zhang Zizhong meant that if you can do it without risking human life, then don't do it.

"What do you mean by Wenbai?" Liu Mingzhao asked with a smile. Zhang Zhizhong shook his head and said, "I don't advocate hard hitting."

"I heard the President mentioned that this Lukin has a good way of defensive warfare. If we continue to encircle without fighting, we need approval from the General Staff. During the summary meeting, the President told us that we have to make a decision on this.

What I mean is to let go of the west, block the north, south, and east sides, and let the local cavalry clear the field in the west. This way the Soviet army will not be able to hold on for long. The president asked me, in terms of the current war situation, does Tashkent look like a hug?

A bomb in your arms?" Liu Mingzhao said this to the two of them. Neither of them understood it very well, but the president's tendency came out.

"Unless Tashkent is solved, our army will not be able to cross the Amu Darya River with peace of mind. Make up your mind!" Although Zhang Zhizhong was reluctant, he finally obeyed.

"Specifically how to fight, the staff office will prepare a combat plan as soon as possible. Logistics and material reserves, Wenbai will work harder and keep a closer eye. Let Yang Zui retreat eastward appropriately. The main target is still to target Zhukov's cluster on the other side of the Amu Darya River.

"That's about it. How much time is needed to prepare and how many troops are needed are all the work of the staff.
