reborn super empire

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of bombing spots appeared on the entire railway. These bombing spots were uneven, some were 30 meters long, and some were only a few meters short. The important thing is that so many places need repairs, the trains can't run normally at all.

As a result, the time to deploy troops to the front was infinitely delayed, which made the Soviet general Zhukov who was in charge of the deployment very depressed. The defense of Moscow was over, and finally Zhukov won the war with superhuman wisdom.

With the end of the Moscow Defense War, Zhukov was sent to the Far East without stopping. In the early years, Zhukov had stayed in the Far Eastern Military Region, and he also commanded the troops of the Far Eastern Military Region to fight the Japanese army in Nomenkan.

So Zhukov, who had just come down from Moscow, was sent to the Far East in a blink of an eye to command the battle with the North Army Group. In order to commend Zhukov for his outstanding contribution in the war, Zhukov should have been awarded the rank of Marshal on January 1943, 1. .

He was promoted to marshal nearly a year earlier, and at this time, it was only less than two years before Zhukov was promoted to general, and Zhukov had completely become Stalin's firefighter. Can plug the leak.

It's just that this time I came to the Far East. Although Zhukov was in this place when he reached the peak of power, this time, the Far East may not bring Zhukov any good luck.

The rule of the Soviet army's early operations is generally to defend in spring and summer, wait until autumn and winter to start counterattacks, and come and go for a year.The advantages that the Germans had worked so hard to gain were taken back by the Soviets in the blink of an eye.And hit the Germans hard.

But what can Zhukov do here in the Northern Army Group?Counterattack in autumn and winter?Please, I don't need anything.And if they can take the initiative to launch an offensive in winter, can the Soviet offensive work against them?

Although Zhukov is very good, he has become more and more confident after experiencing so many battles, and he has become more and more comfortable in fighting, but this does not mean that his heart will expand rapidly. In other words, although Zhukov has become more confident, but He has always been very cautious, never arrogant enough to look down on the enemy.

At this time, Zhukov was also sitting on a train smoking a cigarette depressed.Frowning tightly, I don't know what to do. The train has been parked here for two days, although the railway that was blown up before is about to be repaired, and it will be open to traffic soon.

But then came the news that the railway was blown up. Not long after it was repaired, the engineers here just walked away, and the Chinese Empire continued to bomb the railway behind, and the battle on the front line had already begun.

So far, he, the commander of the Far East, has not reached the front line.Millions of reinforcements were still blocked on the road, and Zhukov was very depressed. Of course, what he saw was not just that the reinforcements could not arrive on time.What he saw was more.

The Chinese Empire did everything possible to prevent the reinforcements from going to the Far East, obviously in order to completely wipe out the forces of the Far East Military Region before the reinforcements arrived, and then launch a surprise attack when the reinforcements arrived.How can the Soviet Red Army, whose foothold is not stable, be the opponent of the Northern Army Group?

On the other hand, what if reinforcements arrived at the front?They can also attack railways.Even the trains that transport troops are not afraid, so what should we do with the supplies in the future?Railroads are vital for resupply.Once the railway is blocked, they will face the danger of being cut off from supplies.

It can be said that as long as the Northern Army Group sends thousands or even hundreds of troops, it can forcibly cut off the supply line and starve to death millions of Red Army soldiers on the front line.

Whenever Zhukov thinks of this, his heart is particularly heavy. Even Zhukov, who has experienced many battles, doesn't know how to fight this battle at this time?It can be said that this is a dead end, no matter what he does next, the chance of surviving is not high.

Whether it is the Air Force, the Armored Forces, the Army, or the Artillery, they do not have the slightest advantage in front of the North Army Group. The only weather advantage that the Soviets can rely on has also been reduced to the minimum. set.

Moreover, most of the soldiers of the North Army Group have stayed in the Northeast of the Republic of China for at least a year. Although the winter there is not as good as that of the Soviet Union, the temperature is tens of degrees below zero after all. Just a little training to adapt to the Soviet Union The environment is not difficult.

"Order all the Red Army soldiers to get off the train and defend where they are. The troops behind guard the railway to ensure that the railway behind is intact. At the same time, order the Red Army soldiers from the Far Eastern Military Region to withdraw to us. We will come here to fight with the North Army Group battle."

After a long time, Zhukov finally made up his mind.

Going forward, he has no confidence in victory. Now he can only stop, guard the railway behind, ensure that the supplies can be delivered to them smoothly, and then fight the enemy here.

However, Zhukov knew that this was not an excellent place to fight, because there was no one to rely on, and the railways were mainly built on the plains, which was very beneficial to the movement of the armored corps of the Northern Army Group, and it was also conducive to the bombing of the enemy's air force. , they are completely defenseless.

However, Zhukov did not dare to give the order to withdraw the entire army at will. Even though Stalin had fully authorized Zhukov to command the troops in the Far East and promised not to intervene excessively in his decision-making, it was just that he would not intervene excessively, not not intervene at all. .

Zhukov has been dealt with by Stalin not once or twice because of this kind of thing, so this time Zhukov made this decision very carefully. Although he did not order a retreat, this does not mean that Zhukov was nailed here. Once a situation unfavorable to them occurs, Zhukov will still order a retreat. It is impossible for him to watch so many troops being wiped out with his own eyes.

"Comrade Zhukov, have you thought about the consequences of making such a decision?"

One of Zhukov's entourage reminded in surprise that fortunately Zhukov is the commander and political commissar now, and no one can interfere with Zhukov's decision at will, but even so, he also decided to remind Zhukov.

"I just know that if the troops keep going. It's very likely that we will run out of ammunition and food, and that the enemy will very likely wipe us out without firing a single shot."

Zhukov smiled wryly and shook his head.Although this statement is very unreasonable, but at this moment Zhukov can only say so.Besides, he couldn't come up with any more important reasons.

"I think it's better to report the situation here and our thoughts to Comrade Stalin, and let Comrade Stalin make a decision."

The follower continued to say that it was hard for him to rise again. Naturally, it was impossible to watch Zhukov fall again.

And he has already formed a camp with Zhukov, and everyone advances and retreats together, and Zhukov is their leader. This has long been known in the Soviet Union. A commander will definitely bring some of his own people there when he takes office.Then others can only make way for them.

He had given way to others before, but now he was just here to grab someone else's position, and he also knew that once Stalin blamed him, let alone him, even Zhukov couldn't bear it.

"Okay, then go tell Comrade Stalin about the situation here, and ask Comrade Stalin for his opinion by the way."

Zhukov is also vacillating right now, not knowing what to do.It's also good to ask Stalin's opinion, at least this will allow him to have a clear goal.

At that time, even if he blames him, he won't push it to the end, because in this case, Stalin would be slapping himself in the face.

northeast.Inside the Jinbei Army Group Command.

Liu Ling frowned and lay down on the map to check carefully. There was only one railway running through the east and west of the Soviet Union, which was the Trans-Siberian Railway.From Moscow, passing through Ryazan, Samara, Chelyabinsk, Omsk, Novosibirsk, Irkutsk, Chita, Khabarovsk (Khabarovsk).To Vladivostok (Vladivostok).The total length is 9 kilometers.It is currently the longest railway in the world.

About 1000 freight and passenger trains run on this steel artery.To the west of Chelyabinsk, it was built in the middle of the 7th century; to the east, it is 416 kilometers long. It was built in 1891 and opened to traffic in 1916.

This railway is easy to find on the map. Even though the map on the market does not mark this railway, you can know the route of this railway after a little inquiry in the Soviet Union.

"Stopped in Novosibirsk? Do you want to fight us there?"

Liu Ling quickly found out the location of Novosibirsk on the map, and after looking carefully, he roughly understood Zhukov's intentions.

"Report to the commander, the troops of the Far East Military Region have begun to retreat."

Immediately afterwards, the staff officer's report made Liu Ling more certain of his thoughts. It seemed that Zhukov really wanted to start a decisive battle with them in Novosibirsk.

Liu Ling couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart. Zhukov is a pretty good guy. He knew that if he moved forward, he would fall into our encirclement and face the danger of being cut off from supplies. Now he is smarter and just hides there to defend.

It's just that Zhukov looked down on the North Army Group too much?Do you think I'm going to attack when you crouch there?Do you think I will definitely go after you have set up the battle?Hmph, if you think so, I just don't do it, I don't go there, what do you do?

"What's going on with Generalissimo Chiang?"

Liu Ling then asked.

Zhukov was self-righteous and thought that as long as he stayed in the Novosibirsk area, he could sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and wait for the Northern Army Group to confront them from the front, but he ignored a crucial issue, that is, at this time, Generalissimo Jiang was recovering the already Outer Mongolia that went out independently.

Once Outer Mongolia is taken back by Chairman Jiang, the Mongolian region of the Republic of China will be directly adjacent to the territory of the Soviet Union, and the northwest of Mongolia will also be connected to the Novosibirsk region. It is not difficult for Generalissimo Jiang to attack Zhukov together.

But then again, don't underestimate the power of Generalissimo Jiang's troops, and don't always think that they are as vulnerable as you imagined. When we fought against Japan, the main reason was poor equipment and insufficient ammunition. And other issues.

After more than two years of development, at this time it is considered a strong army. The soldiers have at least one year of training, and there are still many veterans who have come out of the War of Resistance. Now they are not later generations. There is no eight-year War of Resistance. Chairman Jiang’s elite troops are still there.

"It's already approaching Ulan Bator. It is estimated that the fighting will end within a month, and the situation in Mongolia will be stabilized within a year."

"It's too slow. Tell Chairman Jiang to send troops to Novosibirsk. I will be responsible for Mongolia's problems. After defeating Zhukov, all the land occupied by Tsarist Russia in the Qing Dynasty will be allocated to him." (To be continued...)
