    Liu Zhi and Xiong Shihui were not idiots. Bai Chongxi understood it after a little analysis.  Liu Zhi and Xiong Shihui are no strangers to Russian veterans. You must know that when the European War first broke out, these two were members of the military observation group and had personally experienced the bloody battle between the Russians and the Germans.

    The Lao Maozi always fought ruthlessly. Compared with the elite German Army, although the Lao Maozi did not have better training and the advanced weapons and equipment of the Germans, they relied on their large numbers and desperate resistance to eventually drag the Germans to death.  on the Eastern Front, thus losing the chance to win the war.  But now, these old guys who are "armed" by the Bolshevik spirit are even three points more ruthless than the previous Tsarist Russian army. These guys don't take human life seriously at all, and they are playing with the Chinese at the expense of consumption.  tactics.  In this way, if we continue to fight according to the current tactics, the losses will inevitably be considerable. This is a result that the Chinese regiment is absolutely not allowed to see.

    In this case, the tactics had to be adjusted. The three quickly reached an agreement and rushed to the rear headquarters to negotiate a response.  During this period, the Chinese ** regiment retreated slightly and maintained certain contact with Serov's defenders. At the same time, the artillery and air force continued to fire at Serov, using long-range artillery tactics to try to weaken Serov's military power and cause continuous damage to the opponent's defense line.  Sexually devastating blows.

    "Comrade Frunze! Your command is so appropriate. Today we held the defense line without too many casualties, causing a lot of losses to the enemy, and forcing the enemy to retreat temporarily to rest. Judging from the situation, holding Serov  The probability is very high. This is all your credit!"

    The day passed quickly, it was afternoon.  As the Chinese regiment retreated, the two sides only maintained fire contact. Although the Chinese artillery and aircraft continued to be dispatched in the afternoon, the losses on the position were not large because they had been prepared in advance.  As the sky gradually darkened, the day's battle was basically over. It can be said that Serov's defenders repelled the enemy without paying much cost and firmly held all positions.

    Facing the jubilant Generals Ubolevich and Yakir.  There are also a bunch of generals who are flattering, and Frunze is not as happy as he imagined.

    "What are the casualties of the troops?"

    "The frontline troops suffered a total of more than 5,300 casualties. Nearly half of them died in air strikes and Chinese shelling. The rest of the comrades who died fell in the enemy's attack. Although compared with the Chinese devils who were armed to the teeth, ours  The equipment of the soldiers was very different, but inspired by the spirit of Comrade Stalin, the comrades armed with Bolshevism performed very bravely. They were not afraid of the planes, tanks, artillery and machine guns of the Chinese devils, and they went forward one after another"

    Before the political commissar who reported the war situation could finish his words, Frunze frowned in displeasure.  What are these and what!  One set of nonsense followed another, which was almost the same as what the soldiers below were talking about. All the people present were senior generals of the Red Army.  Does speaking such nonsense at a military meeting mean that your political consciousness is high?

    Waving his hand to stop the political commissar from continuing to talk, Frunze asked directly: "What are the Chinese casualties? What about our artillery? I need specific figures! The more specific the better, no nonsense.  Moreover."

    The red-faced political commissar was a little embarrassed. In fact, he couldn¡¯t figure out the specific data.  The more than 5,300 casualties mentioned before were reported from below. He did not have time to look carefully at the subsequent series of specific data.  I heard Frunze ask this.  Comrade Political Commissar thought for a moment and quickly replied: "Comrade Frunze, because the specific data has just been calculated, for the sake of accuracy and reliability, I suggest that Comrade Batonov, who is responsible for the defense task today, report to you."

    "This cunning flatterer!" The generals present looked down upon this guy and couldn't help but secretly thought.  Frunze nodded slightly without changing his expression and turned his attention to Commander Bartonov.

    Batonov stood up, nodded to Frunze first, and then reported directly: "In today's battle, our army lost 21 artillery pieces and several heavy machine gun positions, and the casualties among the soldiers were also  Not small, but the enemy also suffered heavy losses. According to preliminary reports from the front line, the enemy lost about one and a half battalions during the attack, and another 10 tanks were destroyed by our army"

    Frunzhi was slightly relieved when he heard this. Although he remained as usual on the outside, he was still a little happy in his heart.  Although the casualties on our side reached about 5,300 in today's battle, overall, our response tactics were effective.  Among the casualties, more than 2,000 were caused by Chinese aircraft and artillery bombings, and the other half were actually turned into cannon fodder by counterattacks and their own artillery coverage.  From this point of view, the damage ratio to the enemy is close to three to one. In addition, nearly ten enemy tanks were destroyed. This is a feat achieved since the beginning of the war.??No results.

    "This is a victory! A hard-won victory!" In order to boost morale, Frunze happily defined today's battle and asked the political commissar comrades to report this victory to Moscow immediately.

    "Comrades! Today we have made a good start. Judging from the results of today's battle, our previous efforts are effective! Next, we must continue to modify our tactics on the basis of the original to minimize the risk of enemy air strikes.  and casualties in artillery. In addition, I am still a little dissatisfied with the situation of the artillery. Comrade Ikomosnov, your artillery response is too slow. If you can counterattack the attacking enemy as soon as possible, and counterattack  Quick transfer after completion can completely avoid the casualties of our soldiers and the loss of artillery. You must make a thorough inspection on this point and improve the current artillery situation!"

    General Ikomosnov quickly stood up and promised that he would immediately adjust his artillery tactics after returning to ensure that he would live up to Comrade Frunze's high expectations.

    In response to some problems exposed in today's battle, Frunze explained to everyone one by one, and at the same time adjusted the subsequent tactical arrangements.  The meeting ended quickly and the dissolution was announced.  Frunze deliberately kept General Ubolevich and General Yakir behind, and the top commanders of the three fronts held separate small meetings.

    "It seems that the Chinese devils are not too difficult to deal with. We still have great hope of guarding Serov." General Yakir said happily. The result of today's battle was somewhat beyond his expectation. He did not expect the Chinese to be fighting.  Retreating immediately after being frustrated is a cowardly behavior for the Russians who have always worshiped force. From this point of view, although the Chinese have advanced weapons, their will is far inferior to that of the heroic Red Army.

    "Ubolevich. What are you thinking about? Are you not satisfied with today's results?" He smiled and said a few words. General Yakir saw that General Ubolevich beside him was not as happy as he was.  Instead, he showed a thoughtful expression and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

    "Comrade Frunze and Comrade Yakir, although we have achieved our intended goal in today's battle, the actions of the Chinese devils are somewhat puzzling to me."

    "Oh. Then tell me what you don't understand?" Frunzhi asked calmly.

    "It's like this. According to the frontline statistics just now, the losses of the Chinese Japs were less than 1,000. Although they also lost ten tanks and some heavy weapons, based on our combat experience, the actual losses may be slightly higher.  lesser."

    Speaking of which.  Seeing Frunze nodding slightly, General Ubolevich continued: "From this point of view, the Chinese have not lost their vitality. They can fully bear the loss of this army. You must know that our opponent has more than 700,000  Troops, of course, most of them are white bandits and rebels. But even so, the Chinese still have hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line. The loss of only about 1,000 people is a very small number. It stands to reason that the Chinese devils have no  You should not retreat, but continue to attack"

    "What do you think, Comrade Yakir?" Frunze asked General Yakir.

    After listening to General Uboljevich's analysis, General Yakir couldn't help but hesitate. Indeed, as General Uboljevich said, the losses suffered by the Chinese devils today are not large overall. Logically speaking, not  This should be the reaction.

    "I don't understand. Maybe the enemy is too careful" After thinking for a while, General Yakir guessed.

    "The enemy is not careful, but too cunning!" Frunzhi said at this time: "If my guess is correct, our opponents have understood our intentions from today's battle, and they will make this decision in order to avoid fearless consumption.  Such a response. It seems that this is a very difficult enemy to deal with, and the next battle will be more brutal than today. We must be fully prepared to prevent any eventuality."

    "Comrade Frunze, you are right, but from my point of view, with today's tactical adjustments, it is still very possible for us to defend Serov. At least we can also cause great casualties to the Chinese devils in the Serov area.  This will play a very important role in protecting Moscow."

    "Yes! Serov is the gate of Moscow. Guarding Serov means guarding Moscow. Comrade Frunze, we must hold Serov firmly in our hands no matter what, and try to cause greater casualties to the enemy."

    "No!" After hearing what the two said, Frunzhi shook his head. Seeing the surprised expressions on their faces, Frunzhi said: "Serov cannot hold it at all, but what you just said is right, we must  Inflict as much damage as possible on the enemy here so that we can better defend Moscow. In addition, judging from today's battle situation, the enemy will soon make adjustments to his tactics. The next battle will be more brutal and we will have more difficulties.  .For this situation, I suggest launching an immediateIn the battle of ??, we took this opportunity to deal a severe blow to the White Army in the east.  As long as we defeat the enemy in the east, we can win the strategic initiative, which is crucial to the entire war.  "

    "Start the Eastern Front Campaign now? Comrade Frunze, is it too early?" Both generals were shocked by Frunze's decision. They knew that the Eastern Front Campaign would have to wait several days according to previous expectations.  After all, many aspects of preparations have not yet been completed, so it would be too difficult to rush the process.

    "We are not ready, and neither are the White Army. Now, the White Army coming from the east is fierce. They are trying to take advantage of the Serov Battle to swallow up my Siberian Front Army. At this time, the enemy is  Launching a counterattack under unexpected circumstances and defeating the opponent in one fell swoop is an excellent opportunity from a tactical point of view. In addition, the temporary retreat of the Chinese devils also gives us a good opportunity to safely mobilize our troops. If we wait for the Chinese devils' tactics to adjust,  , the enemies we face will become more difficult to deal with. In this case, it is better to launch the Eastern Front Campaign in advance to create a time difference and strive to get the initiative into our hands."

    General Ubolevich and General Yakir thought about it and finally agreed to Frunze's plan.  In order to ensure the success of the Eastern Front campaign, Frunze will temporarily leave Serov and go to the preset battlefield. The defense of Serov will be jointly responsible for General Ubolevich and General Yakir. The main task is to reduce casualties while guarding Serov.  , try your best to destroy the enemy.
