The huge roar from the high-power diesel engine of the D-tank destroyer nicknamed "Cheatah" shakes the earth. This enlarged version of the hunter has a full combat weight of 45 tons, and its armor protection level is far greater than that of the former famous hunter. There is also a 52-caliber 88mm anti-tank gun that is enough to explode the most sturdy tank of this era. It can be said to be a weapon used by the Chinese armored forces. However, now it feels like a hero is useless. After getting the cast

After Jian Fei and Tian Yuchen's report, Guo Songling immediately ordered two armored grenade divisions stationed on the front line to launch an attack on the Soviet position. However, when dozens of D-type tank destroyers led thousands of grenades in crawler armored vehicles appeared in front of the Soviet front-line positions, only a few Soviet Red Army officers and soldiers were waiting there, and they also immediately took the white flag and held high his hands to walk out of the position. In addition to pain and numbness, everyone's eyes were just a feeling of relief.

A battle of scale can be called a battle, but the intensity is not as fierce as a medium-sized battle, and the "Battle of Krasnoyarsk" kicked off in a daze.

When the battle began, the Soviet Red Army stationed on the front line of Krasnoyarsk were six armies, including the 56th, 57th, 59th, 61st, 63rd, and 64th, as well as a fortress division. However, the 56th and 57th Army suffered heavy casualties in the nuclear explosion on April 1 and completely lost their combat effectiveness. The 64th Army experienced two nuclear explosions. Although it was a certain distance close to the center of the nuclear explosion, the losses were still very heavy, and the fortress division was wiped out in the second nuclear explosion.

However, the remaining three armies, including the 59th, 61st, and 63rd, are still intact. Most of them are stationed in the fortifications east of Krasnoyarsk, with continuous and dense fortifications like spider webs. They include anti-tank trenches, anti-tank firepower strongholds, anti-artery fortifications, minefields, barbed wire and deer fortifications. A little further backwards, 15 division-level artillery regiment positions were deployed, with more than 500 suppressed artillery pieces of various caliber. On several infantry defense lines, hundreds of 45mm and 76.2mm anti-tank guns, as well as countless machine guns, mortars and other light and heavy weapons. If the Chinese army wanted to break through these dense fortifications in front of them before the two Krasnoyarsk nuclear explosions, they would have to pay an unimaginable price.

However, now, the attacking Chinese armored grenades actually felt like they were empty and empty. In addition to encountering some minor troubles in the minefield before breaking through the first line of defense of the Soviet army. The offensive behind could only be described as unstoppable. In just one morning, three lines of defense were broken through. The walking corpse-like Soviet prisoners of war lined up in line with a small number of defense officers and soldiers to the prisoner-of-war camps set up in the east of the battlefield. The seized weapons and ammunition were already piled up, and the cheapest Mosin Nagan rifle and defense officers and soldiers were too lazy to carry them. They simply crushed them with the tracks of armored vehicles.

Before the Chinese army launched an attack, the Soviet command system seemed to have been completely paralyzed, and large-scale organized resistance had almost never occurred. Their infantry and the artillery in the rear did not seem to have any coordination. The Soviet artillery group either did not fire a single shot or fired artillery randomly, and sometimes even shot shells into their own positions. The 45mm and 76.2mm anti-tank guns arranged in the frontline anti-tank strongholds had almost no power. In some areas, these weapons that were very precious to the Soviet Red Army were directly discarded, while in other areas, some people still fired shells at the D-tank destroyer that was rumbling over. However, after seeing the 45mm and 76.2mm armor-piercing shells they fired, they could not penetrate the 80mm armored steel plates arranged at a 55-degree angle on the front of the D-tank destroyer, they raised their hands and surrendered neatly.

Moreover, unlike the situation in the past duels between the two armies of China and the Soviet Union, not only ordinary Red Army soldiers surrendered on a large scale, but even the officers and political cadres who were GCD members did not have the determination to fight to the death. By the afternoon of the same day, the attacking troops attacked the "cordon line" less than 5 kilometers from the central area of ​​the nuclear explosion, the total number of Red Army officers and soldiers captured had reached between 70,000 and 80,000, including 19 colonel commanders, regiment political commissars, and more than 40 lieutenant colonel battalion commanders (at this time the Soviet army had cancelled the battalion instructors and company instructors), and there were also several

Thousands of company commanders and platoon leaders, and even many political security personnel wearing blue hats were captured. These political security personnel were mentally broken. They found it difficult to accept the reality that the Soviet Union was about to perish, but they did not have the courage to commit suicide. They were even more afraid of being liquidated after the collapse of the Soviet Union's GCD. The only way to survive was probably to surrender to the Chinese. Although everyone knew that such behavior violated Article 56 of the Soviet Criminal Code and betrayed the motherland, so what? The Soviet Union was gone, and what else was there Article 56 of the Criminal Code?

In the further rear, the commanders, political commissars and chiefs of staff of several army groups also showed amazing numbness in the face of the collapse of their subordinates, which seemed to be natural. No one tried to save the situation of defeat, and accepted the result very much. The only thing they could do now was to escape, not to escape from Kemerovo, hundreds of kilometers away, but to take a small number of confidants into the dense forest of Siberia. The name was: "fighting guerrillas", but to escape from their own army.

As well as the severe punishment of the Revolutionary Military Commission, and also to avoid the nuclear fission bombs of the Chinese. Although the 55th Army of the Red Army, which was more than 20 kilometers away from Krasnoyarsk, the 65th Army of the Red Army, which was more than ten kilometers northeast of Krasnoyarsk, the 56th Army, the 57th Army, and the 64th Army, which were deployed more than ten kilometers away from the west bank of the Yenisei River, all retreated west in time to avoid the result of annihilation of the entire army, fundamentally speaking, the Eastern Front of the Soviet Red Army had completely lost its combat effectiveness!

This Krasnoyarsk Battle, both at that time and in the days that followed, became the focus of research by military experts from China, the United States, Germany, Britain and other countries. The published articles and books were published, and later military history researchers unanimously agreed that this Krasnoyarsk Battle was obviously won by two nuclear bomb attacks. It was the first time that nuclear weapons were used in actual combat. This battle not only proved the explosive power of nuclear weapons, but also made all military strategists in the world clearly realize the great value of nuclear weapons in actual combat, and completely changed the course of World War II.

"...The ground battle in this Krasnoyarsk Battle is almost worth mentioning. It lasted less than one day, and the battle was not fierce, and it even showed a one-sided situation. However, the results were surprising. The main force of the entire Eastern Front of the Soviet Union, as many as 300,000 troops and strong fortifications, completely collapsed in the not-fier offensive of the Chinese army. It is obvious that such results cannot be regarded as being obtained by the Chinese ground forces. It was achieved by the previous two nuclear bomb attacks.

This effect made the Chinese and German military strategists at that time see the tactical role of the nuclear fission bomb. Although this weapon is more like a strategic weapon, it is undeniable that it played a huge tactical role in the Battle of Krasnoyarsk - after killing about 150,000 Soviet Red Army officers and soldiers, it completely scared the remaining hundreds of thousands. In Napoleon's words: 'The purpose of the war is to intimidate the opponent. Let him obey your will.' The tactical effect of the nuclear fission bomb is obviously to intimidate the opponent. Although the result of killing more than 100,000 people with two nuclear fission bombs does not seem to be too great, the result of such a battle is based on the slightest loss on one's own side. In other words, the Chinese can use nuclear fission bombs to kill tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Soviets without any losses.

If we use a more vivid metaphor, the gap between the Chinese team using nuclear fission bombs and the Soviet Red Army without nuclear fission bombs is like the gap between the army of Western colonists equipped with machine guns and cannons and the Chinese Boxers with only big swords and spears. It is hard to imagine that the Chinese Boxers could maintain high fighting spirit in front of the Eight-Nation Alliance with advanced weapons, because no matter how high their fighting spirit is, they cannot defeat the enemy's guns and cannons with flesh and blood. They are fighting a war that will surely lose. As the side that will surely lose, they usually have no fighting spirit.

Of course, those who study history in later generations know that at that time, there were not many nuclear fission bombs in China and the Germans. The plutonium-239 in the hands of the Chinese could assemble about 3 to 4 nuclear bombs, while their uranium-235 could assemble 20 to 30 nuclear bombs. However, there were some technical problems with the use of uranium-235 to load nuclear bombs, which took two or three months to solve. In other words, in April 1936, the Chinese could use it to implement it.

There were only 4 nuclear bombs in the war, and they actually used two of them for the same location! This act of intent or unintentional did make the Soviet Red Army misjudgment. They believed that the Chinese Defense Force had hundreds of nuclear bombs in their hands, while Germany had more nuclear bombs! Although most of the middle and lower-level Red Army officers and soldiers and the Soviet people did not know about the tragedy that happened in Krasnoyarsk, the Soviet GCD and the top leaders of the Red Army were first frightened.

Since the Battle of Krasnoyarsk, the almost perfect senior commanders of the Red Army who were originally expressed in the art of military command began to lose their standards. Obviously, "nuclear fission bombs falling like raindrops" became the first issue they need to consider - they should not be too concentrated, they should not place the troops in densely populated large cities or industrial centers, and they should not expect any fortresses to block the enemy's advancement, etc., all became the iron law for senior Soviet generals to use troops to fight. However, excessively dispersed forces are not enough to build a truly solid defense line, and to launch a counterattack, a large number of troops must be concentrated. Gathering heavy troops around the big cities is the best way to stop the mechanized clusters of the German and Chinese troops. After these tactics are no longer adopted, the senior generals of the Soviet Red Army actually have no effective way to delay the demise of the Soviet Union.

Therefore, we can make such a judgment with great certainty. The Battle of Krasnoyarsk was the beginning of the era of nuclear war. After this battle, nuclear weapons have become the decisive factor in the outcome of the war. The Soviet Red Army without nuclear weapons inevitably went to failure. And what won the Second World War for us was actually nuclear weapons!"

...

"Prime Minister. Good news, good news, good news, good news from the Siberian Front. Krasnoyarsk has now been captured by our army!" Zhao Zhen rushed into Chang Ruiqing's office with a telegram in his hand, and his mouth was almost unable to close. When he saw Prime Minister Chang, he didn't salute, and came up to report the victory.

Although it was expected to capture Krasnoyarsk, it took less than a day, without any fierce battles or serious casualties. It defeated hundreds of thousands of Soviet Red Army, seized countless weapons and equipment, and captured nearly 100,000 people. It was far beyond the imagination of the General Staff and the Ministry of National Defense.

These are obviously two nuclear fission bombs that are exerting their remaining power. The first practical use of this powerful new weapon seems to have achieved beyond imagination.

Chang Ruiqing was in a daze towards several photos, all of which were taken from the air after the first nuclear explosion of Krasnoyarsk sent by the Strategic Air Force. It looked a bit disappointing. When he heard the news of Zhao Zhen’s report, Chang Ruiqing was slightly stunned and looked up at the other party: "Youlin, are you serious? Krasnoyarsk has been defeated? How long has it been?"

Zhao Zhen laughed and said, "It's true, can this be false? Guo Maochen's telegram is clear that the Soviets have collapsed, and they should have been scared by two nuclear fission bombs. When Shi Jianfei and Tian Yuchen took a plane to Krasnoyarsk to observe the results of the nuclear explosion, they found that there were many Soviet Red Army fleeing below, and then immediately generated a power to report the situation to the Siberian Front Command. Then Guo Maochen urgently mobilized an armored grenade division to launch a tentative attack. Who knew that the Soviet Red Army had no will to resist at all... It was about to collapse at one touch!"

"Really?" Chang Ruiqing hurriedly took the telegram and read it carefully. He laughed and said, "Haha, I originally thought that the two nuclear fission bombs killed not enough Russians. They were not afraid of GC warriors, but they didn't expect that these people were also afraid of death. Hahaha..."

Zhao Zhen took a map and spread it out. He took out a red and blue pencil from his pocket. He drew several red arrows west of Krasnoyarsk and said, "Air force reconnaissance found that the highway from Krasnoyarsk to the west were fleeing Soviet troops, and they had completely lost their struggle. Often, when they heard the sound of planes, they would throw away their equipment and supplies and run away quickly. Guo Maochen had sent the 5th armored cavalry army to chase and hundreds of planes to chase and blow up. Even if they could not completely wipe out the Soviet troops, they could destroy all the 7788. The remaining troops should not be able to defend the Kuznetsk Mountains and Novosibirsk."

He tapped the map with his finger: "The two nuclear fission bombs will push the front more than a thousand kilometers forward, which is really worth it! Moreover, once the Siberian Front advances to Novosibirsk, the flanks of the Soviet Central Asian Front will be completely exposed. If Fu Longzhi does not want to be surrounded by us, he can only retreat. He will probably have to give up most of Kazakhstan and retreat all the way to the area north of Astanna. Perhaps we can throw the other two plutonium bombs somewhere in Kazakhstan and blow the Soviet Central Asian Front down together! In this way, the matter on the other side of the Soviet Union will be basically settled, and this world war can be ready to end!" Zhao Zhen's tone was full of confidence, his eyes were also shining, as if he was looking forward to a bright future of the Greater China Federation. For a moment, Chang Ruiqing's heart also became warm.

He whispered to himself: "...It seems that I have really created a bright future for the descendants of China. It is not in vain that I came to this world for a while."

Just when both of them felt that the situation was good, the door of Chang Ruiqing's office was knocked. When he turned around, he saw Wu Shi, the commander-in-chief of the Army, standing at the door with a smile, holding a telegram in his hand: "Prime Minister, it's the news of our delegation to Germany... The Germans just dropped a nuclear fission bomb in Smolensk!"

"The Germans bombed Smolensk?" Zhao Zhen looked out the map of the Western Front battlefield for a while, and smiled and said, "If our intelligence is not a big mistake, it should be the location of the Soviet Western Front Command and the storage place for logistics supplies. I don't know if their Western Front Command has moved. If not, I'm afraid it will be a big mess."

Wu Shi smiled and said, "Even if the headquarters moves, it's useless. The materials piled up in Smolensk cannot be moved away so quickly. And it is an important railway hub. I guess the railway bridge on the Dnieper River has been abandoned. The railway traffic from Moscow to the Belarusian front has been completely interrupted. This is the logistics lifeline of the Soviet Western Front. Also, the nuclear fission bombs in Hitler's hand are not one or two. If it is thrown out, Trotsky will be able to bear it. By the way, where will we bomb with nuclear fission bombs next? I don't think there is any need to bomb Baku, because the Soviet Union has no way to resist for a long time."

Chang Ruiqing smiled faintly: "Is there any way for the Soviet Union to resist for a long time? Is it related to whether it bombards Baku with nuclear fission bombs?"

Zhao Zhen and Wu Shi looked at each other and were a little confused. Chang Ruiqing smiled again: "Baku, the largest oil industrial base in the Soviet Union, is not our territory, what a pity is it to be bombed by a nuclear bomb? The victory of the world war is now a foregone conclusion. The future world will be an era when China, Germany and the United States run together. However, the strength and ambition of the three giants are not very similar. Germany ruled Europe and Africa, and occupied the average oil resources of the Middle East. The Ural Industrial Zone of the Soviet Union is also

If their territory is only about industry and technology, Germany is undoubtedly the most powerful. Even if it does not include Britain, which also has nuclear fission bombs, the heavy industry production capacity of Germany is now comparable to that of the United States. If the European part of the Soviet Union and the Ural industrial zone are taken into the hands, Germany's heavy industry has at least 1.5 times that of the United States, and 3 to 4 times that of ours. Fortunately, the heavy industry of the Soviet Union mainly relies on Baku's oil for power. If a nuclear fission bomb continues, it will always paralyze them for three to five years, right?"

After hearing Chang Ruiqing's words, the surprise expressions on Zhao Zhen and Wu Shi's faces disappeared. Wu Shi seemed to be muttering to himself: "Plasy will be paralyzed for a while, but the foundation of Soviet heavy industry is still there, with Germany's technology, capital and their management capabilities. The speed of revival will definitely not be slow, I'm afraid it will take five years. Hitler will be able to straighten Germany's territory and sphere of influence in Europe, and then a great enemy will appear in our west."

Zhao Zhen nodded and added: "There is another American who may not be difficult to deal with. The United States has been signed. The next step is to build an American Community. If Roosevelt really makes the American Community out, it will be a behemoth with a total area of ​​more than 42 million square kilometers! It is 12 million square kilometers larger than our Greater China Federation, and it has extremely rich resources and very fertile land. As well as the capital and industrial technology of the United States, the future prospects are also unlimited!" He smiled bitterly: "Prime Minister, it seems that our Greater China Federation is still at the bottom of the three future giants!"

Chang Ruiqing sneered and shook his head and said, "This may not be necessary. We also have our advantage, which is unity! The Germans' Europe and the Americans' America are still just a prototype. I don't know how many difficulties we have to pass in the end! Only our Great East Asia has overcome all 80 difficulties, and it is only a matter of the last difficulty to achieve the right result. Moreover, our East Asian nation has been the best at producing since ancient times, but after the two industrial revolutions, it was chased by the West, but the thrifty and hard-working folk customs are still there.

With 30 million square kilometers of land and resources, as well as a labor force of 600 million people and a huge market, even if technology is behind, we can catch up! But we cannot just catch up, because the real struggle between the three giants has begun now. No matter how we keep a low profile, we cannot stay out. In the next war, we cannot just consider defeating the enemy, but also consider weakening allies as much as possible. Therefore, we must still make good use of this nuclear fission bomb..."

"Prime Minister, what do you mean?" Zhao Zhen and Wu Shi looked at each other, and the latter said tentatively: "Do we want to drop a few more nuclear fission bombs on the Soviet territory that we will distribute to the Germans in the future? The Germans will not raise any objections, right?"

Chang Ruiqing sneered and picked up the table and summarized the situation sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: "There will be no objection now. Hitler must kill some Russians! He had a dispute with Britain on the Australian issue. Churchill had a nuclear fission bomb. Now he is not afraid of the Germans anymore, so he is flirting at Roosevelt, preparing to unite with the United States to fight Germany and protect the Australian continent. Of course, on the Australian issue, we must support it.

Those who hold Germany will probably have a compromise in the end. British Australia or Canada will receive some Russian refugees, with the total number not exceeding 30 million. The rest are all troubles between us and Germany. Since the Germans gave us most of Western Siberia, we will have to share at least half of it." He gritted his teeth slightly and said, "It would be better to eliminate more now, and wait for the war to end before finding a way to resettle it." (To be continued...)
