Back to more than two months ago, in a boreal forest on the northern outskirts of Angarsk, hundreds of Soviet engineers were working diligently with saws and axes. Under their operation, the boreal trees were
First they turned into pieces of wood, then they were assembled together, and after being covered with iron sheets, they turned into tanks one by one. About a month later, when Vatutin arrived here in person,
In the northern part of this boreal forest, which is most suitable as a tank training ground, he saw a tank warehouse and groups of tanks.
The camera turned to the present. An hour and a half after the bombing was launched, as the first batch of Chinese sturgeons participating in the attack completed refueling and reloading, Zhuang Houzhong personally lectured them, asking them to find and try their best to find the enemy in the second wave of attacks.
Destroyed many tanks of the Soviet Northern Front.
Compared with the Political Security Bureau of Soviet Russia, the intelligence collection work of the Chinese Central Intelligence Agency is better. Vatutin was appointed by Stalin as the commander of the reassembled Northern Front of the Soviet Red Army, and the intelligence information about him was sent to Zhang Zizhong
In front of Zhang Zizhong in this time and space, because of Ouyang Yun's special care, his life trajectory is comparable to that of himself in that time and space. The more wars he has experienced, the more he understands modern warfare.
Zhang Zizhong has been named the Optimus Pillar of China's Far East. Knowing that Vatutin is best at commanding armored group operations, Zhang Zizhong began to collect relevant intelligence as early as the Northern Front regrouped, and asked his staff to formulate targeted measures.
The purpose is to neutralize Vatutin's biggest support at the beginning of the war.
In the combat plan formulated by the General Staff of the Far East Army, the air strike will be divided into three stages. The strategic goal of the first stage is to destroy the ground fortifications built by the Northern Front between Lake Baikal and Irkutsk and take advantage of the situation to attack its air defense forces;
In the second stage, the strategic goal is to find and destroy the armored forces of the Northern Front as much as possible; in the third stage, it is the turn of other units of the Northern Front. When the first wave of air strikes was launched, the Chinese pilots began to search everywhere with purpose.
Traces of the Soviet and Russian tank troops. Therefore, when the second wave of air strikes began, in Zhuang Houzhong's hands, there were already three suspicious targets at the assembly point of the Soviet and Russian tank troops.
"Go out, find the Soviet tanks and destroy them! This is my request!" Standing in the aviation building, Zhuang Hou held the microphone in his hand and encouraged the pilots who were about to start the second round of the journey.
Half an hour later, the pseudo-tank assembly area that Vatutin spent a lot of effort to create was found by Chinese pilots. The first person to discover the target was an air force second lieutenant named Guo Haisheng. "Haidongqing 137 Report, Angarsk
A suspicious target was found in area 7, I am lowering the flight altitude for screening!"
"Golden eagle received, please pay attention to safety and report immediately if found!"
Chinese fighter planes bombed continuously. After discovering that the explosions on the ground had weakened, Vatutin ignored the dissuasion of his men and went to the ground. On a high ground to the south of the basement, he set up a telescope and looked around.
The Chinese fighter plane cruising around suddenly changed its direction and flew north of Angarsk, and a smile appeared on his square face.
"Comrade General, it seems that the Chinese have discovered our tank camouflage position. Will they be fooled?"
"Of course, you have to believe in the wisdom of the soldiers. I can't tell the authenticity of the wooden tanks that Shivalevsky personally designed and manufactured in person, let alone these Chinese pilots flying at an altitude of hundreds or even thousands of meters.
Come on! Pass my order and let Warsawski block it at all costs! We must make the Chinese believe that that is our tank position!"
"yes!"
Guo Haisheng was controlling his Chinese sturgeon to circle down when his eyes suddenly blurred, and a fire flickered in a forest on the left front. Amidst the sound of "empty, empty, empty" anti-aircraft artillery shelling, he immediately pulled up the fighter plane, and at the same time, he was even more excited.
He reported to the back in a tone of voice, saying that he had been shelled by Soviet Russian air defense forces, and that the following must be a gathering place for Soviet Russian tanks.
Guo Haisheng's top frontline commander was Su Quanyou, the captain of his first group of the medium-range aviation division. Su Quanyou immediately forwarded Guo Haisheng's report to the rear base camp, and at the same time ordered all fighter planes to assemble to Angarsk and launch an attack on the Soviet tank assembly area.
Saturation bombing.
In order to paralyze the squadron, Vatutin invested a lot of money in this camouflaged tank position. The air defense troops used to defend this position alone invested three battalions. You know, the Soviet Red Army's establishment, one division is equipped with
An anti-aircraft battalion, that is to say, in order to deceive the Chinese, he removed three divisions of anti-aircraft troops at once.
The three battalions of the air defense force are already a good air defense force. In addition, Chinese pilots are eager to achieve strategic goals and often risk their lives during battles. This gives the Soviet air defense force the opportunity to expand its results.
The battle was extremely fierce from the beginning, which also caused the Chinese participating officers and soldiers from Su Quanyou to the following to never notice that the target they attacked had not moved from the beginning, and not a single shot or bullet was fired from beginning to end.
Among the tank groups, they never saw a single Soviet armored soldier.
This air-to-ground battle, which lasted about half an hour, ended with the victory of the Chinese aviation force. When Su Quanyou could not hide his excitement, he reported to Zhuang Houzhong that they had successfully destroyed no less than 400 Soviet Red Army vehicles.
What he didn't know was that the real bodies of these tanks were lurking about fifty kilometers west of Baikalsk, waiting for the opportunity to launch a fatal blow to the Far Eastern Army.
The intelligence information about the Northern Front Army obtained by Zhang Zizhong shows that the Northern Front Army has a total of three tank divisions, equipped with a total of about 600 tanks of various types. Together with the tanks of other infantry divisions, the total number of tanks of the Northern Front Army is only about 700.
, the second wave of air strikes destroyed more than 400 Soviet and Russian tanks at once, which was already a pretty good result.
"The second wave of air strikes has been completed well. The third wave of bombings will be carried out immediately. Iron Palm, the ground troops are ready to dispatch! Now is the time to let the Soviets see our determination!"
The decision-making level of the Far East Army was completely inherited from the Far East Expeditionary Force. Zhang Zizhong, Jiang Tiezhang and Hu Li have developed a considerable tacit understanding after working together over the past few years. Jiang Tiezhang responded, walked to the side and grabbed
He picked up the phone and began to issue a series of orders. While he was issuing orders, Zhang Zizhong and Hu Li walked to the sand table and watched the staff deducing the battle situation.
