Episode 151 The War of Wolves Begins

Episode 151 The war between wolves begins

Xiang Xiaoqiang's method indeed achieved very good results.

The engineers of the Ming Army built several "barrages" one after another on the Razdolinaya River. A few days after these "barrages" were built, a large number of floating corpses accumulated on the Razdolinaya River, ranging from dozens to hundreds.

It stinked and rotted there. Downstream until it entered the sea, the river was filled with stench, flies were flying, maggots were squirming, and a large number of fish floated up and died with their bellies turned.

However, in the middle and upper reaches of the area controlled by the Ming army, the river water was not polluted, and the water quality was still very clear. There was nothing wrong with the Ming army taking water from the river to purify it and use it.

But on the contrary, in the Soviet-controlled areas downstream near the estuary, diseases spread again. Cholera, E. coli poisoning, parasites... Soviet soldiers began to suffer from vomiting and diarrhea on a large scale, and even the Soviet citizens in Vladivostok also suffered.

.

At the same time, the Ming army's bombing of Vladivostok continued day and night. Precision bombing was carried out during the day, and at night, using the sea of ​​​​fire from the day's bombing as a mark, they continued to drop bombs into the sea of ​​​​fire. Vladivostok became a sea of ​​​​fire.

Since October, the Soviet Army has taken advantage of the opportunity of the Ming Army to transfer all its elite main forces to Northeast Asia, gathered the strength of the Central Asian Border Defense Military District, and took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack on the Central Asian battlefield, hoping to regain its advantage in another battlefield. But the Ming Dynasty

The army still left the elite strength of ten People's Guard armored divisions on the Western Front. With these ten armored divisions,

Division A is the backbone, and there are about 500,000 troops of the Ming Army here. Now the front line of Central Asia has reached western Gansu, and it is more than 1,600 kilometers away from the Soviet offensive base camp of Almaty. There is not an inch of railway in these 1,600 kilometers.

The climate is harsh, water sources are scarce, wind and sand cover the sky, and supplies are difficult.

More importantly, all the 1,600 kilometers along the route are Muslim-inhabited areas, which are full of hatred for the Soviet army. The locals tried every means to attack the Soviet army's supply lines, and guerrilla forces emerged one after another. Moreover, while the locals hated the Soviet army, they also hated the Soviet army.

It’s the fanaticism about one’s own religious beliefs,

The people of the Northern Qing Dynasty are not like sheep at all. These Muslims have tough folk customs and a very rebellious spirit. They will fight with swords when they are hot-blooded and are not afraid of death. The Soviet army wants to suppress the situation and ensure its supply line of more than a thousand kilometers.

Basically nothing major happens, and the cost of the troops spent is unimaginably high.

In this case, with this 1,600-kilometer-long supply line full of hatred and resistance, it is no longer whoever has the advantage in military strength can gain the upper hand. Although the Ming army has taken away the elite forces, the Central Asian front is still

Not much has changed. The Soviet army is still at the end of its battle. The difference from before is that it was a tug-of-war between the two sides. The Soviet army fought from eastern Xinjiang to western Henan, and then the Ming army fought from western Henan to eastern Xinjiang...

Now, the front is just stable in western Henan. It is almost in the Dunhuang-Yumen area, with small swings from east to west, and the front is seesawing on a small scale.

But on the contrary, the Ming army has been making great progress on the battlefield in Northeast Asia. The victory pattern in the early stage of the Unification War seems to have been copied again: the Ming army's mechanized army broke through on both wings - encircled the center - annihilated a large number of captured Soviet troops -

Continue to break through - encircle the center - annihilate a large number of captured Soviet troops...

Only on October 16, only 20 days after the start of the Eastern Front Campaign, the Ming Army's Eastern Army Group basically controlled all the land east of the Ussuri River except Vladivostok, and the Northern Army Group also controlled north of Heilongjiang, Zieya

Almost all the land east of the river.

But the two army groups have not yet joined together. What prevents them from joining together is Heilongjiang, or to be precise, the lower reaches of Heilongjiang, the part that flows through the Soviet Union, which is called the Amur River in Russian. The second is the Habaro River where the Soviet army is still holding on.

Fusk - the area on the front line of Komsomolsk. This

This narrow Soviet-controlled area juxtaposed with the Amur River gathered most of the main force of the Soviet Far East Red Banner Corps. The headquarters of the Far East Red Banner Corps was in the city of Khabarovsk. When the two Ming army groups reached here, they

They encountered the fiercest resistance and were unable to join forces for a while.

However, excluding the two small Soviet-controlled areas along the Vladivostok and Khabarovsk-Komsomolsk lines, the area that the Ming army has captured is already very vast. It can be said to be as big as Northern Xinjiang, or even

There is more to come. Judging from the area, the Ming army's offensive plan before the winter of 37 years has now been completed by almost a quarter.

Although the area along the Khabarovsk-Komsomolsk line is much larger than the Soviet-controlled area in Vladivostok, the Ming army is very confident in this narrow strip. The main reason is that it is not like Vladivostok, which has been managed for decades.

The large fortress. The Khabarovsk-Komsomolsk line is more than 300 kilometers long, but its width is very small. The widest place is only more than 50 kilometers. The narrowest place is only a few kilometers. A Ming army artillery shell

You can get through it all.

Moreover, this controlled area is basically on both sides of the Amur River. Both sides are flat and cannot be defended. The reason why the Soviet army can barely withstand it now is purely based on the use of human lives. Nearly half of the Soviet Far East Red Banner Corps' troops and artillery,

The tanks are now trapped in this narrow strip. But if the Ming army wants to advance in, it will be more difficult.

The Ming Dynasty's cabinet has initially decided to set up the "Free Russia" government here after capturing Khabarovsk. It will first set up a team and brand, and then start to fulfill its mission: recruit troops internally and buy horses from all over the world externally.

Weapons and equipment.

The land war was in full swing, and the sea war was also intensifying. Within this half month, the "Wolf Pack Battle" that Xiang Xiaoqiang expected came ahead of schedule.

As the Ming army fought a large-scale battle against the Soviet Union in the Northeast and besieged Vladivostok, Japan did as the Ming Dynasty thought and began to rely on its maritime superiority and absolute sea control of the Honor Guard in the Sea of ​​Japan to transport supplies to the Soviet army by sea. Of course, Japan was not a fool.

Now the Su and Ri families

In addition to the "lip and tooth" situation in Northeast Asia, the things it aided were not free. The Soviet Union showed unprecedented generosity at this time - every shipment of supplies was paid in cash, and not in rubles, but in gold.

, US dollars, pounds and other "high-quality currencies" to pay bills.

The stronger the offensive of the Ming army, the more prosperous the business between the two countries. Japan used cargo ships to transport ship after ship to Vladivostok, and the Soviet Union also transferred money to Japan in Swiss banks one by one. Because of the air superiority on the Northeast Asian continent

In the hands of the Ming army,

When the Japanese cargo ships reached a place dozens of nautical miles away from the coastline, they did not dare to go any further. Instead, they gathered together and formed a fleet. They increased their power at night and sailed the last few dozen nautical miles overnight.

, drive into Vladivostok.

The Ming army planned to use it immediately after taking Vladivostok, so it did not want the cargo ships to sink in the port. In this way, the port was abandoned for a long time. The Ming army's aircraft were ordered to try not to attack the ships parked in the port.

Instead, they only attacked cargo ships at sea, close to the Vladivostok area. As a result, Japanese cargo ships concentrated on entering the port at night, and the Ming army's aircraft immediately lost many targets during the day.

At this time, submarines come in handy. At night, it is also a suitable time for submarines to show off their skills. The Japanese cargo ship's "gathering fleet" behavior is also in line with the target of Xiang Xiaoqiang's "Wolf Pack Tactics" -

—Swarm versus swarm, "submarine swarm" against "cargo ship swarm".

In mid-October, a large-scale submarine "Wolf Pack War" began in the Sea of ​​Japan.
