At the airport, the officers and soldiers quickly blew up the planes one after another. Under the cover of tanks and artillery, the small groups of Soviet infantry were unable to intercept the actions of the officers and soldiers, especially the attacks fired by the Assault Tiger tanks. Rockets have become the best weapon to destroy Soviet aircraft. Please familiarize yourself with the domain name
"Bridge, the plane has been completely destroyed. Do you want to retreat immediately?" A major ran to Liu Yuzhang's side and asked loudly.
Liu Yuzhang looked at the situation around him and immediately issued an order to retreat.
Tanks one after another covered the retreat of the infantry. The Soviet soldiers who wanted to pursue them were all beaten into pieces by the tanks.
Anisov, who was on the position, slowly opened his eyes. All the recruits had been killed by the Chinese troops. Now the only ones left were the soldiers who rescued the airport fire. Anisov hesitated for a moment and quickly moved towards them. He walked over to the airport and joined the firefighting team.
"The troops marched quickly towards the direction of Buying and Selling City." Liu Yuzhang hurriedly issued the order after the troops left the airport.
Ten Panzer IV tanks acted as the vanguard under the cover of an infantry platoon, while ten Tiger tanks operated at the end of the entire unit and were responsible for covering the evacuation of the troops. Liu Yuzhang sat in a truck, holding a map and looking at it carefully, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Sergeant, I think the Soviets only lasted so long. If they hadn't been outnumbered, we would have been surrounded and annihilated by them." The major on the side said nonchalantly.
Before Liu Yuzhang said anything, a soldier on the side said proudly, "According to my opinion, it is better for us to go to the Soviet territory and fight from their territory. Teach them a lesson and let them know how powerful we are." .¡±
Liu Yuzhang smiled, looked at his subordinates and said, "Don't think that after winning two battles, you don't know how high the sky is. The Soviets have a large number of people and have advanced weapons. We still have to be careful. Our purpose is to The purpose of protecting foreign affairs is not to fight the Soviet Union. If they don't provoke us, we won't fight them."
Liu Yuzhang talked a lot with his subordinates, but he did not consider the issue solely from a military perspective.
But Liu Yuzhang didn¡¯t know that a Soviet tank brigade had quickly returned to support and was approaching their troops.
Outside the city, the headquarters of the Soviet Novosibirsk Front.
After Chernyakhov received Vasilevsky¡¯s message, he quickly dispatched a tank brigade and an infantry battalion to quickly return to support the Soviet headquarters in the Far East. [This chapter is provided for you] At this moment, Chernyakhov had no expression on his face.
The news that the assault group had invaded the deep positions of the Chinese troops could no longer bring a smile to his face. The Chinese troops' attack on the Soviet airport shocked him inside. However, he was very fortunate that Vasilevsky's headquarters was not hit. Otherwise, he, the commander of the front army closest to the headquarters, , but there is going to be trouble.
"Commander, the Chinese troops have evacuated the airport and the general headquarters has been transferred. It is really a blessing among misfortunes. If the Chinese troops continue to attack, I am afraid that the personnel of the general headquarters will be hit." The chief of staff held up a A telegram came over, looked at Chernyakhov and said.
Chernyakhov walked to the map and looked at the map of the Trading City carefully.
"Why, we invested four infantry corps, four tank brigades, and two artillery divisions, and the Chinese army was able to mobilize troops to attack our homeland. Fortunately, this unit has not many people. If this unit brings the Soviet Union If there is too much damage, I'm afraid we will all be punished." Chernyakhov said angrily. He still didn't understand that he had invested hundreds of thousands of troops in the trading city, but But there was never any gain.
The chief of staff stood aside silently. Now their only progress, that is, Chuikov's assault group has penetrated deep into the Tushe Tuhan Ministry and is about to launch an attack on Cullen. However, the Chinese troops in the Buying City are like steel plates. Together, no matter how the Soviet troops launched their attacks, they all stood firm on their positions.
"Immediately generate electricity for the attacking group, and ask them to quickly occupy the positions on both wings of the Buying and Selling City at all costs, at least defeat the Chinese troops on both wings, and encircle the Buying and Selling City." Chernyakhov gave the order coldly.
"Yes, commander." The chief of staff saluted hurriedly and walked out.
?Business City, Central Corps Headquarters.
Chu Xichun looked at the map without any expression on his face. He and Chernyakhov were in the same mood, and there was nothing to worry about at this moment.Things can make him happy. The armored corps has begun to assemble at Tuxie Tuhan's headquarters, preparing to launch an attack on the Soviet assault group, and whether it can hold its position has become a crucial point. Chu Xichun now has a very worried face, fearing that he What happens here will affect the entire battle.
"Commander, according to our analysis and the report of the reconnaissance force, at least one Soviet tank brigade and one infantry division will be deployed in the outer positions of Maimai City, with a number of more than 10,000 people. The Soviet army's main attack direction is in the reorganization 38 Division, according to Commander Yunqiaohan's report, they had at least two infantry corps, two tank brigades, and one artillery division, with at least 10,000 Soviet troops attacking them. The reorganized 42nd Division also faced nearly 10,000 Soviet troops. Attack by more than 50,000 people." Chief of Staff Ye Peigao came over with a document and looked at Chu Xichun in front of him and said.
Chu Xichun took the document and looked at it, but there was still no expression on his face.
"Commander, it seems that the Soviet army plans to solve our two wings first, and then encircle the Buying and selling city, and annihilate all our troops in the buying and selling city in one fell swoop. As long as the Soviet army controls the two wings, our defense here will probably be very difficult. Now We must occupy the outer positions of Buying and Selling City and connect them with the two flanks to form a peripheral defensive position." Deputy Commander Ma Zhanshan came over and pointed to the outer positions of Buying and Selling City.
Chu Xichun nodded, looked at the map and said, "Order to reorganize the 17th Division and quickly prepare for battle. It is still some time before six o'clock. At six o'clock in the morning, the 17th Division will be reorganized to attack the outer positions."
"Yes, Commander." Ye Peigao saluted quickly and walked out.
Peiping, Presidential Palace.
Although it was already late at night outside, Yang Junran did not have any sleepiness at the moment. Yang Junran was always concerned about the war in foreign countries. The Soviets would definitely do whatever it took to control foreign countries. For Yang Junran, China is now What is needed is not war, but time for development.
Although the Americans have provided assistance to China, this war still brought many problems to China. However, in the face of the Soviet attack, Yang Junran still chose to fight unconditionally. The reason is very simple. Foreign territory is Chinese territory.
"President, judging from the current situation, as long as the Central Corps holds the city of Buying and Selling, we will have no problem encircling and annihilating the Soviet assault group. As long as we encircle and annihilate the Soviet assault group, it will be a big blow to the Soviet Union. , at least their troops have lost the initiative on the battlefield." Zhang Zhizhong looked at the sand table next to the office and said comfortingly.
Yang Junran nodded, looked at the sand table and said, "After encircling and annihilating the Soviet assault group troops, we will target the Novosibirsk Front Army. As long as we eat up the Soviet Novosibirsk Front Army, the situation in the entire outer world will be very different." Big changes, the initiative on the battlefield is also in our hands. However, I am still a little worried that once we encircle and annihilate the Soviet troops, they will continue to increase their troops. They have the ability to continue fighting, but we do not. ¡±
Listening to what Yang Junran said, Zhang Zhizhong's face looked a little worried. The nearly one million troops invested by foreign troops are China's current main force, accounting for one-half of China's regular troops. However, the Soviet troops in foreign countries For the Soviet Union, it was just a small force.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You go to rest and I will calm down alone." Yang Junran said helplessly.
Zhang Zhizhong wanted to say something else, but after looking into Yang Junran's eyes, he saluted and walked out.
Yang Junran sat on the chair, lost in thought.
August 24, 1945, five-thirty.
The troops led by Jiang Weiguo have appeared behind the outer positions of Buying and Selling City.
The Soviet army deployed a tank brigade and an infantry division here, forming a solid position centered on several villages outside the city. The task of these Soviet troops is to hold on to the outer positions here and at the same time conduct a diversionary attack on the Buying and Selling City.
The Soviet army¡¯s main attacking troops were on both wings of the Merchant City, so they did not invest too many troops here. They also did not expect that the Chinese troops would counterattack the Soviet troops at this time and seize peripheral positions.
"Deputy Commander-in-Chief, there is an urgent message from the Central Corps Headquarters, asking us to attack the Soviet positions at 5:50 to attract the attention of the Soviet troops and cover the reorganized 17th Division to launch a frontal attack." A colonel held a message. , walked to Jiang Weiguo's side and said.
Jiang Weiguo took the message and read it, then ordered the messenger to convene several major officers of the army to hold a small meeting.
"Two tank battalions, one hundred and twenty tank units"??, responsible for the main offensive mission, dispatching an infantry regiment and responsible for covering the actions of the tank troops. The armored anti-tank artillery regiment, equipped with two infantry battalions, launched attacks from the flanks and cooperated with the tank troops' attacks. The artillery battalion directly under the brigade headquarters is responsible for clearing the firepower points on the Soviet positions. "Jiang Weiguo looked at the officer in front of him and quickly conveyed the combat order.
The officials saluted quickly.
5:50, above the Soviet position.
Most of the Soviet troops have just woken up.
But at this time, the 12m¨¦n 105mm howitzer and the 6m¨¦n 755mm mountain gun had already started firing.
The shells landed on the Soviet position one after another. The Soviet officers and soldiers were very surprised and quickly evaded it.
The artillery regiment directly under the Soviet infantry division quickly turned its muzzle and aimed at the Chinese artillery behind it to implement fire suppression.
Dozens of meters of Soviet artillery fired quickly, instantly suppressing the firepower of the brigade artillery battalion. But at this time, forty Panzer IV tanks, forty Panther tanks, forty Tiger tanks, forty men's self-propelled 75mm anti-tank guns, and forty men's 88mm self-propelled anti-tank guns in the armored regiment Under the cover of the enemy, they launched an attack on the Soviet positions.
Eighty meters of artillery fired continuously, suppressing the Soviet firepower.
The Soviet tank brigade, with more than 60 tanks, took the initiative to launch an attack, preparing for a decisive battle with the Chinese tanks.
