Hailanpao can go head-to-head and attack with force; but if Boli goes head-to-head, it won't be that easy.
Khabarovsk is the transportation center of the Far East of Soviet Russia. To the south, you can reach Vladivostok and the Sea of Japan by land; to the north, you can reach Komsomolsk and the Danevelskoy Strait along the Heilongjiang River and the railway; and to the east, you can reach the Danevelskoy Strait by railway.
Direct access to the Soviet Port; the Trans-Siberian Railway passes through the center of Khabarovsk.
Khabarovsk's fortifications can be dated back to the Russo-Japanese War. After Russia was defeated in the Russo-Japanese War and lost its rights in Northeast China, Khabarovsk began the construction of fortifications. This construction lasted for decades.
It can be said that Khabarovsk includes Vladivostok, another seaport city in the Far East, and its fortifications can be ranked among the top in the entire Soviet Union.
After the Northeast Front of the National Defense Force accepted the Northeast, they began to formulate an operational plan on how to capture Khabarovsk. There were three initial operational ideas. The first was a strong attack; the second was siege. After the army crossed the river, they surrounded it into a fortress.
city, and finally force them to surrender; the third step is to make a detour, attack the villages and towns near Khabarovsk, lure the Soviet troops in Khabarovsk out of the city, and annihilate them in the wild.
The first one is firepower supremacists. They think that the equipment of the National Defense Forces is so good that it can completely annihilate the Soviet army in Khabarovsk. However, the problem with this one is that the battle damage cannot be estimated, and most generals do not agree; the second one
It seems good, but the time it takes is unpredictable, and it is also undesirable. The third roundabout strategy is to attack and occupy vast villages and towns first, and lure the Soviet army out of the city, but this is also not safe. What if the Soviet army does not leave the city?
Finally, the Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Forces Wu Aihua agreed to the third article. Wu Aihua remembered Taizu's most successful strategy of "surrounding the city from the countryside". I occupied the vast countryside and the transportation arteries, regardless of your Soviet army in Khabarovsk.
If you don't come out, I will attack you. If you don't come out, I won't necessarily surround you with a large army, because that will cause a huge waste of troops.
There is no need for a large army to surround, but a small force can be used to surround it. Coupled with the air force of the Wehrmacht in the Far East, the supply chain of Khabarovsk will be cut off, and the Soviet army will eventually die.
Compared with the second strategy, this third strategy seems to be no different. In the end, isn’t it all about “siege”? No, it’s completely different. The “siege” in the second strategy is about siege because of siege and for siege.
And encircle; the third one is to encircle without encircling, to encircle without encircling, and to encircle without causing trouble. When hundreds of kilometers or even thousands of kilometers around have become China's world, the Soviet army in Khabarovsk finally ended up with a
The result is self-evident.
In fact, the German army made some mistakes when attacking Moscow or Stlingrad. If the German army did not attack hard, they would just send troops to occupy the small and medium-sized towns around Moscow, cut off all their communication lines, and at the same time,
Maintaining a certain mobile strategic group in the main direction, how will the Soviet army attack it?
There is Lyubertsy to the south of Moscow, Balashikha to the east, and Khimki and Medikha to the north. The distance between these satellite cities to Moscow is mostly between 10 and 30 kilometers. If Hitler had used another method, supplemented by
It may be difficult for Soviet Russia to persist in political means.
However, Hitler's ideal was to end the Soviet-German war as soon as possible and to show his military power to the world. As the saying goes, haste makes waste, there was no other way. Because the territory of Soviet Russia was too large to be wiped out in a short time.
Even if cities like Leningrad or Stlingrad were captured, there were still countless cities in Soviet Russia.
Of course, Germany still has a difficulty, that is, it only has about 60 million soldiers. There is a limit to the total number of its soldiers. The highest number was 10 million. The ratio of soldiers to civilians reached 17%, which is already a remarkable ratio.
As for China, as long as it reaches 2%, it will have 8 million soldiers; if it reaches 3%, it will have 12 million soldiers; if a country reaches about 5% of its soldiers during wartime without affecting the country's normal economic life, China can definitely have 2,000 soldiers.
More than 10,000 troops.
How many troops does China have now? In addition to the 24 army armies and 15 independent army groups of the navy, air force and army, about 5.5 million standing troops, each provincial military region also has 1 garrison division, 10-15 garrison battalions, and 60-100 garrison troops.
The total number of garrison troops nationwide is 28 garrison divisions, 320 garrison battalions, and 2,100 garrison companies. The garrison troops are staffed and equipped with about 60% of the field troops, so this area will not exceed 1.2 million soldiers.
In Wu Aihua's plan, with so many troops, he can basically "conquer" the world. The only variable is that in the newly occupied areas, new garrison troops must be formed. For the troops in the newly occupied areas, Wu Aihua is prepared
To command its armed forces in the form of "military regions", for example, in the areas east and north of Lake Baikal that will soon be occupied, Wu Aihua will soon establish a "Northeast Asia Military Region". The Northeast Asia Military Region will establish 3-5 Class A divisions (marine divisions), 3
-5b Category Division (Garrison Division), which is divided into several military divisions and garrisoned by garrison battalions, garrison companies, etc.
Such military regions are classified according to the political, economic and military importance of the region. The territory may be large or small, and the number of troops may be large or small. Unification is not mandatory. In addition, in some special areas, such as occupying certain types of areas,
But if it is not suitable to be merged into national unification, then "garrisons" will be set up like the United States did in later generations.
At 8 a.m. on March 12, the Northeastern Front of the National Defense Forces attacked the 17th Army Lin Yangchun Department of the Khabarovsk Group, the 1st Group Army Xiawei Department, the 3rd Cavalry Group Army Ma Zhanshan Department, the 3rd Armored Corps Chen Mingren Department of the 3rd Armored Division and the 6th Armored Division.
, the 1st Artillery Group's 7th Artillery Division Li Kang'an (Major General) Department, a total of 420,000 people crossed the Ussuri River at more than ten river crossing points from the 100-kilometer section between Raohe and Hulin.
The few border posts and fixed strongholds of the Soviet Army put up tenacious resistance. However, in the face of the powerful artillery of the Wehrmacht, these resistances were quite weak. In just two hours, the Wehrmacht's forward attack force crossed the Ussuri River and successfully seized the
River crossing ports on the east bank of the Ussuri River.
At 12 noon, the National Defense Forces led no troops to cross the river and cut off the railway connection between Khabarovsk and Vladivostok, and further cut off the road traffic between the two cities.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the National Defense Forces successively occupied nearly 10 small towns such as Iman, Razo, Burlit, and Bigin. The Soviet company and battalion-level garrison was surrounded and disarmed without causing any harm to the National Defense Force soldiers; at the same time,
, the He Shaozhou Division of the 171st Division of the National Defense Forces went north from Bigin, seized Bezha Station, and went out to the direction of Lermontovka to guard.
At 5 o'clock in the morning on March 13, garrison troops urgently withdrawn from Suiyuan, Chahar, Shanxi, Hebei and other provinces began to station in the towns along the above-mentioned railways, and among the local people with Chinese or Korean ancestry,
Recruiting Wehrmacht soldiers.
At the same time, the Northeastern Front of the National Defense Force issued an order. The Wei Yunsong Division of the 015th Division of the Khabarovsk Attack Group attacked southward from Lazo. With the cooperation of the domestic garrison troops arriving one after another, it occupied Hulin and the vast area east of Xingkai Lake, and connected with Vladivostok.
The area occupied by the attack group was connected to eliminate all resistance forces in the above-mentioned areas to the coast of the Sea of Japan. The remaining four divisions of the 1st Army and the units directly under the group army, all the 17th Army and other units, after the local garrison tasks were handed over,
Immediately go north and join the attack on Khabarovsk.
The Khabarovsk attack group was personally led and commanded by Luo Zhuoying (three-star general), deputy commander of the front army.
Like the Battle of Hailanpao, the attack operations of the Khabarovsk Attack Group were still unhurried, steady, and advancing steadily, with troop training as the primary purpose, and occupying land and annihilating the enemy as secondary purposes.
The Wehrmacht is not worried that the Soviet army will resist and resist somewhere in the front. Even if they want to build fortifications, bunkers or bunkers, let them build them. In a few days, one day early and one day late, they can have a lot of good fortune.
?
There is resistance and stubborn resistance, so it is a good opportunity to train troops.
When Soviet reconnaissance personnel saw that the Wehrmacht was occupying towns one after another in units of companies and battalions, or conducting conquests in the countryside, they immediately reported the intelligence to the Soviet Far Eastern Front headquarters. Based on the intelligence and the feasibility of the attack, the Soviet Far Eastern Front dispatched three times
or troops five times the strength of the Wehrmacht, in an attempt to encircle and annihilate these combat units. However, when the Soviet troops rushed to the scene, what greeted the Soviet troops was a counter-encirclement by the Chinese army, which was equal to or even greatly exceeded the Soviet troops.
ambush.
The Soviet army came like this several times in a row, and finally understood that the Chinese army seemed to have a small number of troops, but the Chinese army's communication system was extremely developed, and the Chinese scouts or small groups seemed to be suspected of deliberately letting the Soviet scouts go.
, Otherwise, how could we have surrounded and annihilated the Soviet Russian army so accurately every time?
As a result, the Soviet army took a decisive measure and transferred all the small garrison troops along the way back to Khabarovsk or Vladivostok, hoping to use the fortifications of the big cities to fight the Chinese army to the death.
That's fine, because the Chinese army doesn't just fight and leave. It's China's real purpose to occupy land and run these places for generations.
On March 14, the road from Hulin in China to Dalnerechensk in Soviet Russia was completely opened except for a short bridge over the Songhua River. The supplies of the Chinese troops could be transported by land and thus guaranteed.
On the same day, the Chinese army occupied Kazakhstan and was less than 60 kilometers away from Khabarovsk (Burli). In Kazakhstan, the commander of the Soviet Far East Front, General Alexander Korsayev, made a hesitant decision.
The mistake allowed the Chinese army to easily eat up an infantry regiment and an artillery regiment of the Soviet army. When the Chinese army joined the attack on Operation Heluo, its strength was also a marine regiment plus an armored regiment.
Originally, Alexander Korsayev had ordered the withdrawal of all armed forces east of the Ussuri River, and Heluo's troops were also retreating. However, Alexander felt that the Chinese army was about to attack the suburbs of Khabarovsk.
It seems unreasonable not to resist, but if the troops are left to resist, it is very likely that Roubaozi will never come back. For this reason, he only hesitated for an hour. In this hour, He Luo was
The Chinese army was surrounded and could not move away, so they had to fight. The result of the fight was that the entire army was annihilated. The Soviet army suffered more than 1,700 casualties and more than 3,200 prisoners. The Wehrmacht only suffered more than 120 casualties.
