The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

"Destroy them?!"

Voronov almost reached out and tried Zhukov's forehead to see if he was talking nonsense with a high fever.In the current situation, there are less than 5000 people in the city guarding the back line, and the rescue troops can't catch up or draw them out, and the mechanized troops of the Japanese army can kill them in a few hours, so why should they be eliminated?

Fortunately, knowing that this guy will not talk nonsense, the Air Force Acting Commander Baljikin said worriedly: "We can try to mobilize reserve forces to stop them! For example, send those new LaGG-3 fighters? It should be able to fight They were caught off guard!"

He personally came to inspect the battlefield and couldn't do it empty-handed. In addition to an air division whose main force was the I-16 fighter jets, there were also a few LaGG-3 high-speed fighter jets that had just successfully tested their flights.Originally, this fighter still needed further test flight verification, but I didn't expect the report from the front line to say that Ri's fighter is "as fast as a rocket"!The dozen or so planes manufactured in a hurry were shipped directly to the battlefield. At this time, they had not yet been sent to the battlefield.

Zhukov shook his head firmly: "They are too few in number to play much of a role. We need to use them at a critical moment to give the Japanese army a big surprise! Just keep the air force in its current state!"

Baljikin twitched his cheeks involuntarily, and almost shouted: "What is the current state? Do you know how many deaths and injuries my pilots and planes have suffered?!"

In the air above the Nuomenkan battlefield, the twin-engined fighters are completely exhausted. The number of Japanese flying regiments is relatively small, and they still want to reserve their spare energy to deal with those dangerous guys in the south, so the total number sent out does not exceed [-].In their view.The slow and clumsy fighter planes of the Soviet army were just like targets to hunt casually.

The Japanese army did not expect that the clumsy, ugly, low-speed, and short-legged I-16 combat performance was a mess, but this thing was equipped with a weapon that the Japanese army could not think of --- rs-82 rocket!There are even some modifications equipped with rs-132 larger caliber rockets!At a distance of 800 meters, they opened fire suddenly, and the rocket with a poor aim was close to exploding, and all kinds of fragments still caused fatal damage to the Japanese fighter plane with almost no armor!

Worst of all, the Soviet Army's fighter planes are almost endless!The Hailar x weapon killed 150 of them at one time, and nearly [-] of them were killed in several air battles and air strikes. They immediately sent [-] of them without blinking an eyelid!And there's a steady stream of more being mobilized, though after each liftoff battle.The Japanese flying regiment is always winning, but the exhausted pilots are terrified one by one!God knows how many of those vodka-drinking guys are still in the air!

The gap in industrial strength is clear at a glance!The top Kwantung Army finally realized the terrible productivity. This is because Ishihara Waner has worked hard for several years, and the arms production capacity of the entire Northeast has reached half of the empire. The rebuilt Shenyang Aircraft Factory has been rushing around the clock. The production capacity of the company is only [-], and now it seems that it is far from enough!

But the Soviet Army himself was not feeling well.Qualified pilots are limited after all, although most of them benefit from the protection of the 8mm steel plates at the front and rear of the flight seat.It is difficult for warheads below 12mm to hurt them, but there are always casualties.After a month of fighting, at least 7 outstanding air force fighters died, the rear hospital was overcrowded, and many people began to show fear of fighting.

Boerjijin twitched in distress, but he was terrified when he thought about the fate of not carrying out the order.Apart from complaining, he can only hope that those guys in the aircraft factory can quickly produce more and better aircraft to make up for the shortage.

Pavlov asked anxiously: "Then how do you plan to defeat the Japanese army? With the current military strength, I can't think of any way!"

Zhukov said calmly as if nothing happened: "We withdrew from Krulen, and everyone went directly to the forward command center!"

"What?!" Pavlov dared to bet that this guy must be crazy!There is no situation where the enemy has formed an encirclement circle.Instead of running outside, why drill inside instead? !Did he think that a [-] army with a [-]-kilometer front would be able to keep the headquarters safe? !This is ridiculous!

Voronov's eyes flashed, he thought of something, and raised his brows: "Don't you want to turn this place into an empty city, and after the Japanese army occupies it, you will send troops to come back suddenly to destroy them?!"

The eyes of the two generals lit up.It's a good idea!The mobility of the Soviet Army is incomparable to that of the Japanese Army. Those greedy and aggressive guys will definitely not give up the opportunity to occupy the strategic center of Kereren, but as long as they are trapped, it will be difficult to leave!

The issue is.There are all kinds of ammunition and supplies piled up here. Isn't Zhukov afraid that the Japanese army will be stabbed directly after getting the replenishment? There is not much time left by the Japanese army, and it is basically impossible to withdraw all of them!

Zhukov's eyes flickered with madness: "No! The battle on the front line is still proceeding according to the original plan! We will leave enough means here to ensure an indelible impression on the Japanese army! As for the excess supplies, destroy them!"

The faces of the three generals changed drastically again, this is a desperate attempt!It's crazy!But now the few of them have to go crazy with them, can't they take a plane and leave at the most critical moment?

Zhukov did what he said, without even giving the others time to think or hesitate. Within half an hour after the order was issued, the first batch of withdrawing troops marched out of Kerulen with as much ammunition and supplies as possible and went straight to the front line. The headquarters followed closely behind, and the two remaining regiments of motorized infantry began to drive away the people in the city, transfer the wounded soldiers, and prepare to destroy the piled up supplies!

At the same time, the news that Krulen had stored nearly 2 tons of military supplies somehow reached the ears of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army, and the chariot regiment that was attacking the outer line of defense suddenly went crazy like chicken blood!

[-] tons of munitions and supplies!It is enough for their entire division to replenish, even if there is no suitable ammunition, just gasoline and food are enough for them to comfortably cut off the Soviet army's rear line of defense, and persist until the large forces complete the encirclement and suppression!Mechanized units, gasoline, everything!

"We must pass through the position at all costs and seize those supplies!" The order of the division headquarters made the attack of the tank regiment more intense, and the intercepting Soviet army also received the "stop the enemy at all costs, for the evacuation." Gain precious time" order, which originally took casualties into consideration, but now it doesn't care about anything. The reserve team is all pulled up, and those with minor injuries stop sending them back, and they are directly stuffed with weapons and put into the trenches.

If you can't aim, put an explosive pack or an anti-tank mine in your arms. For the great Soviet Union, for the great Comrade Stalin, sacrifice bravely, comrade!

After being held back for about two hours, the Japanese chariot unit finally opened a breakthrough, leaving behind [-] or [-] medium tanks. One of the brigades ventured straight into Kereren, and after an hour, followed the final A layer of defensive troops exchanged fire.

The small town built on the flat plateau was almost defenseless, and the Soviet army probably never expected that it would be attacked by the enemy's infantry two to three hundred kilometers away from the front line, and there were very few fortifications on the outskirts of the city.The 45mm main guns and anti-tank guns of the armored vehicles of a regiment's side defense troops can barely damage the frontal armor of the Japanese tanks, but they must be able to penetrate the side armor and destroy them. After blocking for a full hour, they began to withdraw into the city , leaving a lot of obstacles, igniting the spare tire and a large number of gasoline barrels, creating thick smoke that filled the entire small town, and fled.

The advance chariot brigade ran out of gas after chasing for more than ten kilometers, and had to go back to resupply. At the same time, they happily entered the city to count the amount of seized materials.And at this time, the large troops behind also broke through the defense line, completely defeated the Soviet army and then went to Kerelun. When it was dark, they completely occupied this important rear defense town!

Because the attack was too fast and decisive (the Japanese army thought so), they finally seized the opportunity before the Soviet army bombed the city and burned the supplies, and successfully captured the fruitful fruits. Seeing the piles of boxes in the warehouse like hills, There were piles of gasoline barrels, and even brand-new crawler tractors and bulldozers. The brigade commander who hurried over to check his military achievements was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth.This time, developed!

"After a arduous battle, our army finally captured the enemy's strategic rear defense and completed the combat goal!"

Seishiro Itagaki read and re-read the telegram from the 4th Division, and after repeated confirmations, he and Kenji Doihara burst into tears in excitement, danced uncontrollably, and shouted: "Hey! Hey!"

The last few days and nights have made their bones almost dry, and they desperately tried their best. Fortunately, they finally won the victory. Although the 2nd Division went out to fight with the 57th Division of the Soviet Army. But after all, it has greatly hindered the opponent's strategic deployment and bought precious time for the fatal blow. Now, there is a huge loophole in the defense of the southern line. As long as the 2nd Division seizes the opportunity to catch up with the blow, the encirclement will be unbreakable!

The most important thing is that the back road was cut off and the supplies were robbed. It should be fatal to the morale of the Soviet army. When fighting, are you not so brave?

The victory telegram was sent to the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, and Ishihara smiled and replied with a cold line: "Please be sure to pay attention to the conspiracy and tricks of Soviet Russia. Zhukov knows our army very well, so we must guard against it!"

Itagaki Seishiro and Doihara looked at each other, feeling quite helpless in their hearts. It seems that Major General Ishihara's nerves are about to collapse?The iron-like attempt is in front of you. Even if Zhukov is extremely intelligent, what kind of tricks can Zhukov do?

Shaking their heads, the two lieutenant generals gave the 4th division an order to guard against arrogance, impetuosity, and vigilance, and then cheered up their spirits to plan a decisive blow on the frontal battlefield!

That night, the mechanized unit of the 4th Division, which had been fighting all day and night, began to overhaul the vehicles with exhaustion, replenish ammunition and fuel, and seize the time to count the spoils.Soldiers from one of the squads found a large building covered with canvas in the center of the warehouse of hundreds of trucks, tractors, and tractors.

Excitedly, they pulled off the camouflage, and suddenly discovered that it was a strange giant tank as high as a four-story building!The width of the track alone can catch up with their tatami mats!

The soldiers who thought they had found the treasure were trying to find a way to climb up to see what happened, when the big guy let out a deafening roar, followed by a large group of dazzling blue arcs that lit up the night sky!
