    :.

    The 21st Division of the Soviet Union is responsible for the main offensive task. The 21st Division is a military district and central military unit stationed in the Siberian Military District. Their main task is to conduct a frontal attack with the 35th Division to attract enemy firepower.  , let the cavalry attack from the flanks, and raid Coulun. Once Coulun is captured, half of their mission will be completed.

    Although his superiors have always despised China, the 21st division commander Christoph did not think so. He always felt that the Chinese ** troops on the opposite side were not that weak. If he was given a choice, he would not let the troops attack those who had already done so.  The army has fortifications and battle preparations. Once the combat order is issued, there is no possibility of changing it. The great Soviet Red Army dares to move forward even in the face of mountains of swords and seas of fire.

    Not far away, the political commissar is giving political lessons to the regiment leader and regiment political commissars, motivating them to fight with confidence.

    Kristoff raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was 3:28, and the war was about to start in 32 minutes. These regiment leaders had to go back to command.

    "Comrades, the Chinese people on the opposite side are slandering our great Soviet and great leader Lenin in their own country. Our country has promised to let the residents of the occupied areas decide their own ownership, so there is no such thing as our country's occupation of Chinese territory. This is the Chinese people's attitude toward  The slander of our great Soviet Union began on July 16. Chinese saboteurs continued to cross the border to carry out harassment. On July 21, floating mines released by the Chinese from the Songhua River estuary appeared on the Amur River. Our government still adopted a consistent policy in this conflict.  However, China¡¯s provocations have never ended. Our great Soviet Union was forced to take effective military actions to stop the Chinese warlords and restore normal order on the Eastern Railway and the Soviet-Chinese border.¡±

    "Comrades, this battle is a battle between the Soviets and the imperialist lackeys. We must carry forward the revolutionary spirit of not fearing death and defeat the imperialist lackeys. Long live the great Soviet." As he spoke, the political commissar shouted excitedly  slogan

    ¡°Long live the great Soviet that defeated the imperialist lackeys¡± the people below followed the political commissar and shouted slogans

    Kristoff was very disgusted with this. The battle was about to start and they were still shouting slogans. He had to go over and remind him.

    "Comrades, there is still half an hour before the war starts. They have to go back and prepare to attack on time at 4 o'clock." Kristoff ignored the complaining eyes of the political commissar and said to the regiment leader and political commissars.

    "It's comrade division commander, we promise to complete the mission." After hearing what Kristoff said, the group quickly stood up, gave a military salute, and turned to leave.

    When they all left, the political commissar began to say dissatisfiedly: "Christopher, please don't interrupt my speech next time!" After that, he walked out angrily.

    Damn it, if talking can be useful, why would you need guns and artillery? Kristoff curled his lips and walked out of the command center. In the eastern sky, people could already be seen vaguely five meters in front of him. It seemed that  today is a good day

    At 4 o'clock, Kristoff personally took the signal gun and fired a signal flare into the sky. Soviet commanders and fighters located everywhere saw the signal flare and issued combat orders.

    The Soviet artillery took the lead in firing at the Chinese position opposite. The shells fired by dozens of Soviet cannons fell on the Chinese position.

    Since the soldiers had been informed in advance that the war would start at 4 o'clock, they had already prepared artillery fire to avoid the Soviet artillery. The sound of the Soviet artillery was very loud, and a lot of artillery shells fell, but the effective damage was very limited.

    After two rounds of shelling, more than 3,000 Soviet soldiers on charge mission jumped out of the trenches, shouted "Ula" and rushed towards the Chinese position.

    Facing the menacing Soviets, Li Long was a little stunned. He had heard that Lao Maozi would risk his life in war before, but he didn't expect it to be true. Now that they are coming, don't be polite. They are really not afraid of them compared to artillery.  Over whom

    "Boom boom boom" the thundering sound of artillery sounded. Thirty 120mm caliber artillery fired first, followed closely by 102mm and 75mm field guns.

    The continuous sound of artillery made Kristoff feel very uneasy at the headquarters. Judging from the sound of artillery, China had at least twice as many artillery pieces as the Soviet Union. The first to fire was definitely a large-caliber artillery. When did the Chinese army  With such strong firepower?

    "I didn't expect that the Chinese ** team would have such a large-caliber artillery. It seems that this charge will not have any effect," Kristoff said to himself.

    The political commissar next to him was very angry when he heard this: "Comrade Christoph, as the political commissar, I have to remind you, please pay attention to your words and deeds. What you say, if the soldiers hear it, what will they think about it?"  Well, what if the enemy has cannons? During the civil war, the white bandits also had advanced weapons and equipment. In the end, they were very unlikely to be wiped out by our great Soviet Red Army. I believe that our brave Soviet Red Army will use its indomitable spirit to??Overwhelm the opponent and rush to the enemy's position in one breath."

    Hearing what his political commissar said, Christophe really didn¡¯t know what to say. Is this political commissar really stupid or just pretending to be confused? He wisely didn¡¯t say anything.

    But momentum can only work on people. The artillery shells have no feeling, and they don¡¯t know what momentum is. They still follow their own parabola and fall next to the charging Red Army soldiers. Every explosion will kill several or even a dozen people.  s life

    The charging Soviet Red Army did not even blink when their comrades fell. Some people were even hit by blown limbs and did not react. They just rushed forward blindly to greet the soldiers who retreated without military orders.  The machine gun of the soldiers supervising the team

    Fortunately, the Soviets' charge formation was relatively scattered, otherwise this round of shelling would have wiped out more than half of their troops. Even now, nearly half of the Soviet soldiers have fallen to the ground.

    When Christoph learned that the 1st SA had suffered heavy casualties, he asked them to withdraw and let the 2nd SA, who had been prepared for a long time, begin the charge.

    "According to my words, the number of 3,000 stormtroopers at a time is too small. At least 5,000 stormtroopers must be organized to charge. Only in this way can we show the indomitable momentum of our Suri Soviet Red Army." The political commissar began to speak again.

    Kristoff could only pretend that he didn¡¯t hear anything and continued to study his battle map

    Stalin received the telegram from Blucher and learned that the war had begun and that all ministries were implementing the original combat plan. Everything was going smoothly.

    After reading the telegram, Stalin smiled and said to the other Politburo members in the room: "Okay, it's past 10 o'clock now. Everyone goes back to rest. I hope I will be woken up by the good news early tomorrow morning."

    After saying that, he left the conference room first.

    Stalin had no doubts about the Soviet Union's easy victory over China. When Blyucher asked him for troops in the central defense zone, he felt that Blyucher was making a fuss out of a molehill.

    Last year, the Soviet Union carried out military reforms and abolished most of its troops, leaving only 500,000 of the most elite troops. As troops directly led by the central government and military regions, these troops must be able to compete with the troops of the world's first-class army powers, such as Japan,  Germany and the United States left behind 1 million local troops led by local military regions. They must be able to defeat second-rate army countries, such as the United Kingdom, France, and Italy. As for China, which is considered third-rate by the Soviets, the remaining millions of militiamen must also have  ability to defeat Chinese forces

    This was the Soviet Union's plan during the military reform, so Stalin would think that Blyucher was making a fuss. If the local troops couldn't even defeat the Chinese army, wouldn't it be a joke that the Soviet Union only retained 500,000 regular troops?  Having promised Blyucher to fully support him, Stalin would not give him several central defense area troops.

    Stalin went to bed very relaxedly, but Blyucher, who was in Chita, was a little stunned by the news coming back from the front line. All the ministries were subjected to tenacious resistance, and the enemy's firepower advantage was obvious.

    It seemed that this battle was not as easy as he thought before. Bluucher suddenly felt that he had been overconfident. He had put fifteen divisions into the battle, while the opponent had twenty divisions. He originally thought he could rely on it.  The firepower advantage made up for the lack of numbers. I didn't expect that I didn't even have the firepower advantage.

    The opponent has more people than you and stronger firepower than you. The next thing you can fight for is military literacy. But on the endless grasslands of Mongolia, even if you have great abilities, you can't display them. At this time, you can only hope for bravery.  The Soviet Red Army relied on its tenacious will and extraordinary courage to defeat the enemy.

    Zhang Anle, who is in Hulun County, naturally gets good news. All the ministries have resisted the Soviet attack. It seems that the war situation is developing in the direction he expected. The arrogant Soviets will pay the price for their arrogance.

    "Since the war is going well, I'm going to take a rest first. Wake me up at 9 o'clock in the morning." Zhang Anle got up at around 4 o'clock yesterday morning and hasn't slept for more than 20 hours now. Now he can finally take a rest.  Got it

    As if they had agreed upon it, the top leaders of the two countries went to bed.

    Bluucher felt more and more uneasy. It was already 8 o'clock in the morning, but there was no progress on the front line. As the commander-in-chief of the former enemy of the Central Route Army, the commander of the 21st Division Christoph reported that the 4 charges organized  The troops who were all defeated by the enemy and returned to attack Manchuria also encountered desperate resistance from the enemy.

    This kind of start was something that Blucher did not expect. It was certain that he would encounter resistance in his plan, but he did not expect that it would be such resistance that he could not advance at all. The charging infantry was suppressed by the enemy. How could the cavalry be dispatched at this time?  If an enemy fails to exert all his strength, isn't that asking for his own death?  To be continued)
