Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

558 The Warrior's Broken Wrist

As the chief of staff of the Soviet Red Army, the battles Tukhachevsky has experienced can definitely be described by the words 'innumerable'.Therefore, it only took him half a minute to react from the shock.

After scanning the map that was quickly thrown in front of him by the staff officer with a pair of murderous sharp eyes, he analyzed with murderous intent: "Since the National Defense Forces launched a counterattack against us, the current shelling and air strikes are the firepower preparations before the National Defense Forces counterattack... "

"As soon as the firepower of the Wehrmacht ceases, the armored units that have not shown up on the battlefield will crush our barracks. In order to win, and for the remaining hundreds of thousands of elite Red Army soldiers in the Far East Military Region, we must find a way to stop the Wehrmacht tank offensive. Otherwise, including us, everything in the Far Eastern Army will be over.”

Ushur first opened his mouth to express his thoughts: "Chief of the General Staff, I have seen the power of the new tanks of the National Defense Forces. As far as the various tanks and anti-tank weapons currently equipped by our army are concerned, unless they shoot at close range, Otherwise, it would not be fatal to it at all."

"Since this is the case, I think that in order to block the upcoming tank offensive of the Wehrmacht, we must dig a large number of anti-tank trenches in front of the position. Only anti-tank trenches can block the Wehrmacht tanks..."

Tukhachevsky refused without thinking: "The idea is good, but it is not feasible... Comrade Ushur, don't forget the Chinese planes that have been patrolling above our heads. Do you think, Under the continuous cruise and bombing of hundreds of bombers of the Wehrmacht, do we have the opportunity to complete such a large amount of engineering, digging anti-tank trenches around the barracks....."

"Also. Our barracks are so big that the Wehrmacht can attack our barracks from any direction. Don't you want to turn hundreds of thousands of troops into engineers. Form a circle of anti-tank trenches around the barracks... Of course, if It really became like this. These anti-tank trenches not only failed to help us block the National Defense Army tanks, but to a certain extent helped the Chinese National Defense Forces to trap us on the endless grasslands of Outer Mongolia."

Speaking of this, a thick murderous aura quickly emanated from Tukhachevsky.He said to Ushur: "In addition to the anti-tank weapons that Comrade Ushur just introduced can block the tanks of the National Defense Forces, there is another weapon that can block them, and that is the heavy aerial bombs dropped by the Air Force."

"No matter how strong the defense force tanks are, they can't stop heavy aerial bomb attacks..."

Ushur asked back with a puzzled face: "But, in the case of losing air supremacy, how do we drop heavy bombs into the tank attacking troops of the National Defense Army..."

"Heavy aerial bombs are of course dropped by bombers. Do you still have to ask this question..." Tukhachevsky answered as a matter of course.

Ushur was taken aback suddenly.He asked with a look of shock: "How is it possible... Chief of the General Staff, the air superiority on the battlefield has been seized by the National Defense Forces. Now let the bomber take off to fight, isn't it going to die..."

"Has the National Defense Forces really mastered the air supremacy on the battlefield?" Tukhachevsky, who gradually calmed down, said mockingly.

Afterwards, before Ushur could react from the astonishment, he continued: "Comrade Ushur, I suggest you take a serious look at yesterday's Air Force battle report..."

"In the air battle yesterday, although our air force was completely lost, the air force of the national defense army that won the victory did not get any benefits from us...According to the battle report, the air force of the national defense army that fought successfully persisted until the battle was won. There is only one aircraft A hundred or so...do you think that one hundred fighter jets can control the air supremacy of the entire battlefield?"

"Don't forget. In addition to the hundreds of fighter jets that fought yesterday, we have a fighter regiment standing guard at the airport from the beginning to the end and did not attack..."

"If we really plan to fight desperately with the Air Force of the National Defense Forces, the ultimate ownership of battlefield air supremacy must be us..."

Because in the air battle yesterday, none of the Soviet fighter planes escaped the pursuit of the 'Mustang' fighter jets, Tukhachevsky only learned about the air battle situation from the ground troops.At least so far, it is still not known that the National Defense Forces have installed 'Mustang' fighter jets.

So, in the eyes of Tukhachevsky.With the remaining fighter regiment of the Soviet Far East Army, it is fully capable of fighting to the death.Take back the battlefield air supremacy from the Wehrmacht.

The dignified expression on the faces of Wu Shuer and others finally showed signs of slowly dissipating, and a glimmer of hope and expectation appeared on everyone's faces.Chief of Staff Ushur, the leader of the subordinates, asked excitedly: "Chief of General Staff, you mean to use the last air force of the Far Eastern Army to regain air supremacy..."

"There is only one way..." Tukhachevsky affirmed.

"No matter what the outcome is, as long as we can persist here for two days, the air force reinforcements from China will continue to rush to the Far East... At that time, not only the battlefield air supremacy, but also the battlefield initiative will be in our hands."

Faced with Tukhachevsky's confident explanation, Ushur was completely relieved.It was as if he had found the backbone again, and he replied loudly to Tkhachevsky: "Chief of the General Staff, I will immediately give the order..."

Tukhachevsky not only ignored the four 'Mustang' fighter squadrons of the Wehrmacht on standby, but also ignored the military radar that the Wehrmacht had just commissioned.

When the air force and artillery were preparing fire against the Soviet Far Eastern Army, several secret radar bases scattered on the Sino-Soviet border had already monitored all the field airports behind the Far Eastern Army.

More than a hundred Soviet fighter planes had just taken off from the airport, and Li Guosheng, who was located in the front finger, received the news.

Li Shaoqing, the deputy director of the Operations Department, said with a look of lingering fear: "Boss, your guess is indeed correct... The Soviet Far East Army not only has a backup, but also a fighter jet from the flying regiment."

Li Guosheng smiled indifferently and said: "The old man has left behind, and I, Li Guosheng, also have left behind."

After finishing speaking, he ordered to more than a dozen communication soldiers lined up in front of him: "Contact Gao Zhihang, the commander of the Second Air Division, his 'Mustang' fighter formation has a mission... Immediately attack the Soviet fighter group. These fighter jets join the field."

48 'Mustangs' fought twice as many Soviet fighters.Li Guosheng is still very confident.

Once the order is given, forget about it.Redirect energy to the battlefield.

There are more than 1 large-caliber heavy artillery, even if one heavy artillery fires five shells in one minute. In 10 minutes, more than [-] rounds of heavy artillery shells fell into the outer barracks of the Soviet army.

When Li Guosheng walked to the observation port of the headquarters and raised his binoculars to observe the battle situation condescendingly.In the telescope, apart from the thick gunpowder smoke and rising black smoke, there are only huge fireballs rising into the sky.

At this moment, a communication staff officer behind him suddenly opened his mouth and reported: "Chief, the artillery group reports: the artillery group has implemented two rounds of artillery coverage on the scheduled bombardment target. The artillery group asked for instructions, and it was Buddha who extended the artillery fire according to the predetermined combat plan." , to cover the armored group to carry out an assault on the Soviet barracks..."

"Yes..." Li Guosheng replied very readily.

After returning to his position.He ordered to another signal soldier: "Contact Commander Sun Liren of the Armored Army Group... After the artillery group's artillery extension began, the armored group immediately launched an assault on the Soviet barracks... According to the predetermined combat plan, sweep across the entire Soviet Union in the shortest possible time. The army barracks completely defeated the Soviet army..."

"Contact all the newly formed divisions participating in the attack, and follow the armored group to attack the Soviet barracks... During the attack, we must pay attention to the coordination of infantry and tanks to ensure that the entire assault formation is not chaotic..."

"The last one is to contact Gao Zhihang, the commander of the Second Air Division again... After the assault of the armored group begins, we must pay attention to the air-ground coordination. At the same time, separate out at least three bomber brigades, and use the combat squad as a unit to bomb all those who broke out from the barracks. Large-scale Soviet troops. Ensure that the ground forces wipe out the main force of the Soviet Far East Red Army."

The armored group army has more than a thousand tanks, with the battalion as the unit, forming a sharp sword that has been polished.Scattered in a line on the Outer Mongolia prairie with a front width of ten kilometers.

When the deafening roar sounded one after another in the armored group.

Looking down from the air, more than 1000 tanks formed a steel torrent.It's like dozens of unsheathed swords under the sun.While reflecting the cold light outwards, they rushed towards the Soviet barracks that had just been ravaged by shells.

When Tukhachevsky pinned his hope of blocking the torrent of Wehrmacht tanks on the Air Force.

The sword-like torrent of steel has easily broken through the defense line of the Soviet barracks.

All the way to crush the corpses of Soviet soldiers, and the land completely scorched by artillery fire, quickly rushed to the interior of the Soviet barracks.

Just when more than 1000 tanks were like a super-large rake, harvesting the corpses of Soviet soldiers with a steel storm, destroying Soviet tanks, blowing up cars full of ammunition, and so on.Tukhachevsky at the rear headquarters finally received the news that the air force was intercepted...

"How is it possible? How could more than 40 fighter jets of the national defense force block more than [-] fighter jets of our army... Say, are you lying about the military situation and disturbing the morale of our army..." After reading the telegram sent by the troops in a hurry, all hope Tukhachevsky, who entrusted everything to the Air Force, was like an angry lion, grabbing the collar of the communications staff officer and roaring loudly.

Because of the difficulty in breathing, the communication staff officer's face was quickly flushed from suffocation.

After finally waiting for the anger in Tukhachevsky's heart to subside, he took a deep breath of air.

Fearing that Tukhachevsky would vent his anger behind him again, the communications staff hurriedly took the time to report.

"Reporting chief, according to the reports of our military pilots rescued by parachuting, the National Defense Force fighters that engaged us were not 'Wildcat' fighters, but a group of new fighters that they had never seen before. Whether it is the flight speed of the fighters or the firepower of air combat, all It far exceeds the new fighter jets currently in service in our army...."

"What... why did you report such important news now..." Tukhachevsky said with a stunned expression.

"If we lose the superiority of the air force and the air supremacy, no matter how many bombers we dispatch, we will be wiped out by the Air Force of the National Defense Forces. How can we bomb the armored clusters of the National Defense Forces and block their offensive..."

After finishing speaking, Tukhachevsky seemed to have been hit by something, and stood powerlessly in front of the map, motionless.

At this moment, a communications staff officer suddenly sent a telegram to Ushur.

After quickly scanning the content of the telegram, Ushur's face was already solemn because of the interception by the air force.A look of despair flashed unexpectedly.

After taking a deep breath, he calmed down the tension in his heart after reading the telegram.

Ushur walked quickly to Tukhachevsky.Reported with a worried face.

"Chief of the General Staff, a very bad news. The armored group of the Wehrmacht has launched an attack on us... The outer defense line of the barracks has been breached by the armored group of the Wehrmacht..."

"According to the report of the front-line troops, there are at least a thousand tanks of the National Defense Forces attacking. They are so mighty that there is no end in sight. At present, the armored group of the National Defense Forces is rushing to the interior of the barracks at an assault speed. In an attempt to pass through the armored group, Massively killed the vital forces of our army and crushed us on the prairie of Outer Mongolia..."

"The conspiracy... All of this is a conspiracy carefully planned by the National Defense Forces..." Tukhachevsky, who quickly exuded a strong murderous aura.Said with a look of hatred.

Under the expectant eyes of Ushur and others, facing the unstoppable torrent of steel from the Wehrmacht, Tukhachevsky had to draw a straight line on the map like a strong man cut his wrist.Then, he ordered with a heartbroken face.

"Order all combat units south of this line to slow down the attack speed of the tank group at all costs..."

"The rest of the troops north of this line will immediately retreat to the territory of the Soviet Union... Everything is lost. As long as hundreds of thousands of soldiers can be withdrawn to the territory of the Soviet Union, we have not lost yet..."

Inside the chaotic Soviet barracks.When the Soviet troops quickly assembled, left the barracks, and retreated to the Soviet Union.

The eyes of the dozens of bomber pilots who have been cruising above their heads, worrying about having nothing to do, lit up.

Fly the bomber directly.With a sharp and ear-piercing whistling sound, the Soviet army swooped down to the ground.

When the roaring bombers were about to pass over the heads of the Soviet army, a more piercing whistle sounded in the air like an alarm.The mother-child aerial bomb weighing one ton quickly broke away from the bomber's shackles.Spinning and hitting the ground.

When the parent and child aerial bombs were less than 100 meters away from the ground, a dull explosion sounded quickly.subsequently.The black cluster bombs were exploded, and a hundred ten-kilogram high-explosive bombs were scattered into the surrounding airspace.

A rain of high-explosive shells exploded on the ground.The flying shell fragments quickly formed an airtight anti-personnel bomb net in the explosion area.At the same time, the air wave generated by the explosion also formed an unprecedentedly powerful shock wave in this area.

Amidst the violent explosion, the Soviet Red Army in the explosion area, no matter what state they were in, were blown to the ground without exception: if they were lucky, they would directly turn into corpses without enduring pain.Those who were unlucky rolled back and forth on the ground holding the wound, while making heart-piercing screams.

When hundreds of high-explosive bombs exploded at the same time, the smoke from the explosion dispersed with the wind, dotted with dots of green outer explosion area, and was directly bombed with craters all over the place.Of course, around these craters, there are at least [-] corpses of Soviet soldiers and hundreds of Soviet wounded who are wailing...

Once a large area is blown up, among ordinary aerial bombs, there is no more powerful bomb than sub-cluster bombs.

When the other Soviet troops in this team hadn't reacted from the shock.

The Stuka bomber that roared past everyone's heads just now has returned to the attack position again.

A sharp whistling sound resounded in the air, and the silver-white fuselage of the bomber, like a giant bomb, quickly dived towards the ground.When a more piercing siren sounded in the air, the roaring bomber quickly passed over everyone's heads, and slowly disappeared from everyone's sight because of the exhaustion of ammunition.

Although the bomber disappeared, the new aerial bomb dropped by the bomber still hit the ground with a roar.

First there was a dull explosion, and then there were intensive and violent explosions. Afterwards, hundreds of Soviet Red Army soldiers fell into a pool of blood with an expression of unwillingness and despair, turning into corpses and lightly or severely wounded.

The sky above the battlefield, which has been completely covered by various howls and engine roars, except for a few bomber brigades cooperating with the ground attack force, the rest of the bombers were all scattered by Gao Zhihang, like bloodthirsty hungry wolves. The target, he rushed to take a bite.

When the two aerial bombs carried by the bomber were exhausted, they quickly left the battlefield and returned to the nearest airport without Gao Zhihang's order.Add aerial bombs, replenish fuel, and take off again to join this aerial hunting operation.

As the chief of staff of the Soviet Red Army, this senior officer in the Soviet Red Army who was "under one man, above ten thousand", Tukhachevsky's security is absolutely unprecedented.

When other troops retreated, the Far Eastern Army Command headed by Tukhachevsky also quickly left the barracks and retreated in the direction of the Soviet Union.

However, for the safety of Tukhachevsky, the cautious Ushur directly ordered the guard division directly under the Far Eastern Military Region, a heavy tank division, the only self-propelled artillery regiment of the Far Eastern Army, and a mechanized force of more than 2 people to guard and escort.

It is absolutely impossible for such an orderly and well-equipped army to suddenly appear on a chaotic battlefield without attracting the attention of the aerial bombers.

Therefore, Tukhachevsky had just left the barracks, and the six bombers scattered in the surrounding airspace, like a pack of wolves smelling blood, rushed towards the target desperately. (To be continued..)
