reborn super empire

At this time, it was just dawn, and the air force that had reached the basic take-off conditions did not waste too much time. More than 2000 fighter jets, more than 1000 dreadnought dive bombers, and more than 500 B24 Liberator bombers filled the entire sky.

This is the entire air force lineup of the North Army Group. After years of development, the size of the Chinese Empire's sea, land and air forces in the Northeast region has already far exceeded the strength of the troops in the Chinese Empire.

Whether it is equipment or personnel, it can be said that from the very beginning, Su Dao rushed to go to war with the Soviet Union. The domestic military reforms can be described as drastic, and he did not shy away from media exposure at all, but the reforms in the Northeast were few. Know.

'Buzzing...'

There were constant buzzing sounds in the air, from fighter jets and bombers, and all kinds of sounds mixed together, giving off a strange feeling.

As early as a few months before the start of the war, the North Army Group began to make sufficient preparations for this. Special forces sneaked into the Soviet Union one after another, and were responsible for finding the airport of the Soviet Air Force, the Army Armored Forces, and the Army Command Center.

Although the strength of the Soviet Far East Military Region is not as good as that of the West, the Soviet Far East Military Region at this time still dare not be underestimated.Historically, when the Soviet-German War just broke out, the Far Eastern Military Region had only about 70 troops, but this situation changed after the arrival of General Apanashenko.

Stalin seemed to have noticed the anomalies in the Far East, not only sent some troops from the central region to the east, but also ordered Apanashenko to expand the scale of conscription.

Thus, history was changed again, until the end of November 41.The Far Eastern Military Region, which should have less than 11 million troops, has 100 million troops.As far as this is the result of sending more than 200 million troops to the west.

But this is also just right, the Far East is sparsely populated.In many places, no one can be seen for tens of kilometers. Apanashenko forcibly recruited so many soldiers, which can be said to have overdrawn their future war potential in advance.

Once the 200 million troops in their hands are wiped out, there will be no soldiers waiting for them, and the Far East will no longer be able to support this battle.

However, Germany attacked them in the west. It is obviously impossible for the Soviet Union to have extra energy to send troops to the Far East. Perhaps it was a coincidence, or Su Dao had already guessed that there would be such a possibility, so it just so happened that he chose to start the war now. .

At this time, Germany has not yet experienced a rout.The war potential of the Far East region has also been stimulated by at least 80.00%. Once the attack is successful at this time, it will inevitably be a big victory.

Looking at the dense fighter planes in the sky, Apanashenko felt like vomiting blood. He has been in the Far Eastern Military Region for a while, and he has learned a lot about the situation on the other side, although he dare not say that no movement can escape him. His control, but at least he can be regarded as knowing himself and the enemy.

But now there are so many air forces suddenly appearing.This made Apanashenko a bit unacceptable, because the intelligence in his hands was that the opponent only had a maximum of two thousand fighters, but now?There were no less than a thousand planes that appeared on their heads alone.

Apanashenko obviously would not believe that the opposing commander would use half of the air force here, since the war started.It must be an attack across the board, so the air force that appeared here is likely to be one-third.Or a quarter.

Thinking of his own air force airport not far behind him, General Apanashenko suddenly woke up.With a flustered face, he hurriedly shouted: "Go and tell the Air Force comrades to take off and meet."

"Comrade Political Commissar, please report the situation here to Comrade Stalin. I need to command the troops for defensive operations immediately."

Apanashenko glanced briefly at the political commissar, and soon he himself was about to leave the room.

"Comrade Apanashenko, the best defense is offense. Since the Chinese have launched an attack on us, we should respond to them with a more aggressive offense instead of defense. I don't think Comrade Stalin would agree with you of the defensive operations requested."

The political commissar glanced at Apanashenko with some dissatisfaction, and responded.

(I don’t know who the political commissar was at this time, and I couldn’t find any information after searching for a long time, and there was very little information about the Far Eastern Military Region, so I only found the commander Apanashenko. But now the Soviet Union has just completed a large-scale domestic campaign Cleaning, many people were removed.)

This political commissar is also a newly replaced political commissar. Like many political commissars, he has not fought any major battles. He just entered the army as a political commissar after he graduated from political school.

I have to say that the political commissars of the Soviet Union still have a lot of power in this era. Even the commanders of the military regions often dare not object to their words, because they can put a hat on you at any time, and they don’t even need evidence. You can shoot officers or soldiers directly

We are familiar with the supervising team, which is a group of soldiers led by the political commissar, holding machine guns and putting them behind. When charging, whoever dares to retreat or stand still to avoid the opponent's bullets, then the political commissar is likely to order the supervising team to open fire.

The political commissar partnered with Apanashenko is an out-and-out nerd type, a hard-core admirer of Stalin, who unconditionally supports Stalin, no matter whether the decision is right or wrong, as long as he is against Stalin, or someone who says something bad about Stalin , were all cleaned up by him.

Otherwise, he would not have taken up the post of political commissar of the Far Eastern Military Region at such a young age, and Apanashenko wanted to adopt defensive operations to resist the attack of the squadron, but the political commissar felt that he should take the initiative to attack Way.

Because the mainstream thinking in the Soviet army is to attack. The main reason is that after Trotsky was dismissed from all positions and expelled from the country, the principle of defense has become a secondary form of war. Whether it is Stalin or Zhukov, the main consideration is blitzkrieg. .

Because Germany's previous blitzkrieg had shocked them too much, and when Germany attacked the Soviet Union, it still used blitzkrieg, which caught the Soviets by surprise, so they wanted to imitate the Germans for blitzkrieg.

The two were arguing with each other, wasting some time in vain.In the end, Apanashenko was afraid that he would lose more time because of this, so he had to make a promise to the political commissar.He will follow Comrade Stalin's tactical thinking and order a counterattack after understanding the situation clearly.

that's all.The political commissar let Apanashenko go and let him know the situation, but he himself quickly contacted Stalin and reported the situation here truthfully.

One thing needs to be explained. The military development of the Soviet Union can be described as advancing by leaps and bounds. In just a few years, it has changed from a mob to a world-class powerful army. However, at the beginning of the war, the Soviet army had not made much progress.

Not only are their weapons and equipment backward, but their communication facilities are also relatively backward.There are no radio stations in many troops, communication basically depends on people, and combat basically depends on individuals.It is difficult to conduct any joint operations with friendly forces, and even if there is, it is easy to miss the best time.

And the telegram translation took too long, it took about 10 minutes to go back and forth. Of course, this speed is not too slow, but compared with Su Dao's radio.It's simply weak.

The main force of the Air Force arrived at the first airport very quickly. Facing the dense enemy planes, the Soviet Air Force on the ground obviously did not expect such a situation, just like the Western Front.As soon as the war started, they faced the situation of losing their entire air force.

"The Lightning fleet arrived at Airport No. [-], covered by fighter jets. To prevent the ground enemy from taking off, the bombers bombed. The dive bombers looked for some exposed targets for a second attack."

The leader looked at the situation at the airport through the bombardment mirror, and gave instructions one after another.

Immediately afterwards.All the fleets went into battle one after another, and the fighter planes kept hovering in the sky. Once the Soviet fighter planes wanted to take off, or were taxiing, they would give them the most severe blow from the rear.

The aerial bombs on the bomber kept falling on the airport, instantly blasting the snow-white ground into large pits, and a lot of snow turned into snow water in an instant.

For a time, the Soviet Air Force Base, which was named Airport No. [-] by the North Army Group, became a sea of ​​flames. There were explosions, cries, and the sound of meeting the enemy. Ground anti-aircraft firepower also joined the battle group one after another. They all seemed a little free and unrestrained, and were killed by fearless dive bombers or fighter jets as soon as they fired.

Although a fighter jet cannot dive, the bomb it carries under its belly is not a vegetarian, and its power is no less than that of a fearless type.

"Let's go, it's time for us to play, remember our mission, go around behind the enemy and surround them, if anyone falls behind, don't act alone, join other combat squads nearby, and return to the team after the battle is over. "

The veteran squad leader saw the platoon leader signal the troops to go, stood up and patted the snow on his buttocks, loaded the MP40 bullet on his chest, and beckoned the soldiers under him to move forward.

The tank army and the armored infantry army were responsible for the frontal attack, and the rest of the troops surrounded from the two wings. This time, Li Chengxuan's purpose was very simple. Troops gain more preparation time.

But then again, it is indeed more than enough for a group army to destroy the troops on the opposite side. With the support of 1000 or [-] tanks, and as many air forces as needed, there is no reason why he cannot win this battle. war.

Hu Xiaoquan could only hold his own rifle, loaded the bullets, and followed the steps of the squad leader step by step. He had been in the army for a year and a half. It's the officer.

But Hu Xiaoquan felt that his life was not very good, he did not catch up with the good times, he was a soldier for a year and a half, and now he is still a first-class soldier, one level higher than the recruits who just joined the army.

What's more tragic is that his marksmanship is not the best in the class, so the position of sniper is not for him. He also missed the firepower.

The tragic Hu Xiaoquan had no choice but to charge with a rifle and a grenade, but Hu Xiaoquan had an advantage. Although he said it before, no one believed it, so he didn't mention it later.

This battle seemed very simple, but Hu Xiaoquan felt that it was very dangerous. A voice in the dark told him to cheer up, or you would lose your life.

"Speed ​​up."

After talking to the battalion correspondent a few times, the company commander shouted loudly.

The troops who don't know why can only speed up with the company commander. It is impossible for them to take a truck for this kind of battle. For short-distance combat, and now basically all the trucks have been transferred to the logistics, and it is impossible to come back for the time being, so they It is necessary to march at least [-] kilometers, and then go into battle.

But the real situation is that the soldiers of the tank army and the armored infantry army fought so fiercely that the Soviets couldn't bear it and began to retreat. Therefore, in order to prevent the enemy from running away, they could only run desperately. (To be continued..)
