The Ming army is divided into two army groups, one is the Northern Army Group, and the other is the Eastern Army Group. The offensive direction of the Northern Army Group is the Heilongjiang River running east-west, and the offensive direction of the Eastern Army Group is the Ussuri River running north-south. Two rivers
They met at Khabarovsk, and Khabarovsk became the dividing point between the two army groups' offensive fronts.
The Ming army still used the same old tactics that they were familiar with - breakthrough on both wings, pincer offensive, and encirclement in the center.
Army Group North attacks the front, that is, there are two breakthrough points. The one on the east is from "Petrovskoye" to "Stepanovka". The width of the front is about 60 kilometers. This point is very close to Khaba
The one to the west of Rovsk is from "Ozornaya" to "Kilovo", with a frontal width of about 80 kilometers. The distance between the two breakthrough points is about 260 kilometers.
The vast area between these two breakthrough points is full of plains and few hills, and further to the west, there are more mountains and fewer plains, which is not conducive to the advancement of large corps. The Ming army planned to break through from both ends of this battlefield to form a pincer.
A form-shaped offensive was launched to quickly encircle the Soviet army in the middle.
The Eastern Army Group also has two offensive fronts. The northern one is from "Somovoye" to "Sheremekivoye", with a frontal width of about 50 kilometers. The southern one is from the southern end of "Xingkai Lake" to
"Fadeyevka" has a frontal width of about 80 kilometers. The distance between the two places is about 400 kilometers.
Compared with the Northern Army Group, the distance between the two breakthrough points of the Southern Army Group is much larger. There is less emphasis on "pincer offensive" and "central encirclement" here, because the Soviet troops on the battlefield here do not have much depth.
More than two hundred kilometers east of the Suli River is the sea. There is a narrow strip in the middle
long area. As long as the Ming army cuts off the connection between this area and the vast inland in the north and the connection with the seaport of Vladivostok in the south, then the Soviet army in the middle will be alone. The Ussuri River and the sea have replaced the Ming army and blocked it.
The Soviet army had to block the east and west sides. The Ming army only had to seal it from the north and south, and it would be considered an encirclement.
The Ming army's pressure to cross the Yangtze River was mainly concentrated on the Northern Army Group. Because at this time, the Heilongjiang River was more than a thousand meters wide at its widest point and several hundred meters narrow at its narrowest point. It was comparable to the forced crossing of the Yangtze River last year. But the Eastern Army Group
The pressure of crossing the river is much smaller. The Wusuli River cannot compete with the Heilong River in terms of water volume and width.
River comparison. The Ussuri River originates from Xingkai Lake in the south, and joins Khabarovsk and Heilongjiang in the north. The wider area in the north is only four to five hundred meters. The south side is close to the source of Xingkai Lake.
, the narrowest part is only ten to twenty meters. In some places, even tanks can drive directly through.
To the south of Xingkai Lake, there is no boundary river anymore. The two sides are bordered by land and are both farmland. Here, the Ming army's tank army was launched directly at the command, rushed out from the camouflaged haystacks, and dragged
Covered in thatch, he whizzed away.
The Soviet Union was the "world's largest armored power" at this time, but the Soviet soldiers had never seen such an overwhelming tank army. The almost "perverted" shelling just now had already caused most of the Soviet soldiers to have a mental breakdown.
.A few people were still lying in the field, holding rifles and shooting at the oncoming tanks, which was quite brave. But most of them turned around and ran away without their lives.
The Ming Army tank divisions that charged in the first wave were all old armored divisions of the People's Guard that had participated in the "D-Day" charge of the Unification War. The veterans in the tanks were all excited at this time, and they re-experienced the experience of sitting in the tanks and charging while
The situation of strafing the fleeing Qing troops in front... Now, as before, they are sitting in the crowded and dark tanks, surrounded by the roar and vibration, with their faces pressed against the small observation windows, aiming at the Soviet soldiers in front, and
Shoot at once.
The Woodpecker machine gun was extremely efficient, and the skills of these people were extremely accurate. As the muzzle flashes flashed, the fleeing Soviet soldiers in the distance fell to the ground one by one. Most of the Soviet soldiers were disheveled, except for
Most of the few sentries on duty were blown out of bed by the shelling just now. Some of them were not wearing belts, some were only wearing white shirts, some were shirtless, and some were not even wearing pants...
There are still many people running ahead with bare hands and not even a gun in their hands. Those are a few armories who are resolutely following the rules. Although shells and bombs are raining down, the guards still insist that they must not issue them without instructions from their superiors.
arms.
The label of "anarchism" is too big for anyone to bear. In Moscow, this crime has caused many people to move their heads.
The Ming army's tanks roared past the Soviet village. While strafing and firing, the loudspeakers on the tanks shouted loudly in Russian:
"Brave Soviet soldiers, we are your friends, not enemies... Although we have different nationalities, we are all workers and farmers! We are also proletarians... Our common enemy is the murderous tyrant Stalin...
Put down your arms and you will be treated like comrades..."
The loudspeaker kept shouting, but the Ming army tanks still fired unceremoniously, shooting at the fleeing Soviet soldiers in front.
Overhead, several Ground Condor dive bombers kept whizzing past, pounced on the deep battlefield ahead, swooped down with shrill screams, dropped three or four bombs, and set off several columns of black smoke...
The loudspeaker still shouted:
"Soviet soldiers, stop resisting and think about who you are shooting at! Workers! Farmers! Shoot at your class brothers! Can you bear it..."
A large group of tanks roared like a tide, passing by the Soviet village. Old Russian women with headscarves on their heads, and young women screamed with the most terrifying expressions on their faces, desperately looking for a place to hide. Collective farms
Many of the livestock pens were blown open, and the cows and horses were running lifelessly in the fields. Many of them were directly hit and killed by tanks, and then ran over them.
The tanks passed by, and the armored personnel carriers that followed behind them caught up. The mission of the tanks was just to push forward, while the mission of the infantry included clearing out these residential areas. Several armored vehicles stopped outside the village, and then attacked from both sides.
A dozen Ming soldiers jumped out, carrying submachine guns, machine guns, and rifles with bright bayonets. They bent over and surrounded the village from both sides, and began to inspect street by street, searching for the remaining Soviet troops.
Some of the Soviet people in the house were terrified, and some were looking forward to it. But at this time, every household closed the door tightly, and the men were holding wooden sticks, ready to defend their wives, children, and daughters.
Several Ming soldiers trotted past the street with their backs bent. At this time, a small window upstairs in a thatched house opened, and an old Russian man with a white beard in ragged clothes poked his head out and shouted softly:
"Hey! Boys! Boys! Come with me, I will take you to catch the farm leader! ... Wherever you want to go, I will show you the way!"
Several Ming soldiers were startled and raised their heads to see the old man making gestures. However, these Ming soldiers could not understand what he said. They shook their heads and put their fingers on their lips to signal him to be quiet.
Then the search continued.
The old man also understood. They didn't understand. However, the old man didn't seem to be afraid. He had clear scars on his face and his eyes were shining with excitement. He probably turned out to be a rich farmer.
The Soviet Union's policy at the time was to "rely on the poor peasants, unite with the middle peasants, and eliminate the rich peasants." They would kill all the rich peasants and barely give them a way to survive. Not to mention the rich peasants, even the middle peasants were made miserable. Some were shot and others starved to death.
Starved to death, not many survived. How many farmers lived a good life, but because
He worked hard for half his life, managed his family diligently and saved a few pieces of land and livestock. After the October Revolution, he became a criminal and his family was ruined. They all had a blood feud with the Bolsheviks, and before the Ming army attacked
, and also told the frontline troops that after the fight, these people are more reliable and trustworthy.
In just over two hours, when the sun had just risen and the morning sun was shining all over the land, Ming troops were marching large groups of disheveled Soviet prisoners across the front lines and concentrating on the border.
These Russian young men squatted on the ground, squatting in a large, dark mass. Their faces were all black from gunpowder smoke and dust, except for their two white eyes and white teeth. Some of their faces were numb and expressionless, and some had expressions.
In the officer's car next to him, a female soldier of the Ming Army held a loudspeaker and said loudly in Russian:
"Comrades, you are free now... Your lives will be protected, you will be able to eat well, and the injured will be properly taken care of... Don't get me wrong, we are not here to invade you, we are here to liberate you.
... We will liberate your hometown soon... You will be able to go home soon... Your parents and brothers will also be allocated land and livestock... You will no longer be hungry...
…”
However, in stark contrast, the dive bombers in the sky are still roaring past, and the tanks, armored vehicles, cars, and sidecar motorcycles on both sides are still pouring into the Soviet Union like a tide... In the distance, there are still
The muffled sound of constant explosions came... There was a strong smell of gunpowder smoke, burnt smell, and blood floating around...
The female soldier of the Ming Army continued to announce: "Now, you have to pick out the political commissars hidden among you... Don't worry, no one who says it is a traitor. On the contrary, you are helping all of you... We will too
Keeping it secret for you... The political commissar is too dangerous. He may incite the prisoners of war to riot and needs to be kept in separate custody... I also said just now that if there is a riot, you will all be executed..."
