reborn super empire

Although the Red Army of the Soviet Union charged more fiercely, they belonged to the type of rushing blindly. Up to now, they shouted to charge without even seeing the shadow of the enemy, and they shouted so loudly, for fear that the enemy would not know that they were coming. .

'Da da da……'

The sound of the artillery continued, and the continuous bombing lasted for about half an hour, leaving a lot of broken arms on the ground. After receiving the order to stop the artillery attack, the artillery never fired a single shell. Then came the sound of machine guns.

The area where the Soviet army was located immediately became a hail of bullets, and they couldn't figure out where the bullets were coming from. When they found that the enemy was on the left side and just wanted to attack the left side, they found that there seemed to be bullets flying on the right side. Come.

For a time, the entire Soviet army lineup was in a mess. Although the various ministries had not been cut off, they were unable to organize an effective attack. The war was over before it even started. The Soviet army fought really hard. It's too useless.

It can be said that the Soviet army was defeated before they saw the shadow of the enemy. In a simple fight, the Soviet army lost tens of thousands of soldiers, although this number is nothing among a million people. , but you must know that it has only been less than half an hour now, and the Soviet army's defense line is constantly being compressed.

The armored army is also quickly interspersed and cut, separating small groups of enemy troops, and at the same time quickly annihilated them with the cooperation of the armored infantry division.

The Soviet army's tanks have become decorations. In front of the t3485, the original version of the Soviet army's t34 is simply vulnerable, one shot at a time.Even a bazooka can take out a tank in one go if you're lucky.

If it weren't for the fact that the First Army mainly wanted to fight mobile warfare this time, these Soviet soldiers would have died even worse.At that time, all the Katyushas will be pulled up, and a group of Soviet troops will be surrounded by Katyushas, ​​and they will be blasted with Katyushas for a while.The effect is obvious, and they have to spend less effort.

It's just that Katyusha didn't bring too much for concealment before, and more Katyusha remained on the frontal battlefield, that is, the reserve army.

Jinxi, within the headquarters of the North Army Group.

"How's it going?"

Seeing the communications staff officer coming in, Liu Ling hurriedly asked.

The Soviet Red Army suddenly launched a counterattack. This incident was too weird. Although Liu Ling roughly guessed the intention of the Soviet Army, he was still not sure.Liu Ling also knows a little about Zhukov, knowing that he would not make such a suicide attack

Even if it is a suicide attack, it is intentional, or it is to confuse the enemy, and wants to use this little human sacrifice in exchange for greater benefits.There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, Liu Ling is very clear about this truth

"The First Army has already eaten part of the enemies in the encirclement, but the Air Force's investigation found that there are a large number of Soviet troops coming from the periphery of the First Army. It is estimated that it will take half a day at most to meet the First Army."

Communications Staff Report

"Oh? Did you find the heavy firepower?"

Liu Ling frowned, this situation is really abnormal.Nearly a million troops have come, and they have been surrounded by them, and some of them have even been wiped out. It stands to reason that Zhukov should not be ignorant of the situation here.At this time, he should find a way to let the troops inside break out.

Their battle plan has been exposed, and the first batch of troops can be surrounded, so the second batch of reinforcements is likely to be surrounded as well.Zhukov obviously didn't miss this, so why did he send troops here?

"Only some tanks were found. The rest were infantry"

The communications officer continued

"Let the Air Force try it out"

Liu Ling immediately ordered, abnormal.it's so abnormal

The heavy firepower of the supporting troops is actually worse than that of the first batch of troops. What use are these people going to do?Although there are many troops under Zhukov, they are not many. At best, they are about the same number as the North Army Group

But his troops lacked equipment, and even lacked training. They were not at the same level as the North Army Group. To put it bluntly, the Soviet Union could not fight this battle at all. ?

'boom'

A shell directly penetrated the armor of a Soviet t34, and the shell inside was also killed, and the Soviet infantry hiding behind the tank was also affected.

The course of this war has exceeded their imagination. Although the defense of Moscow was fought very hard, it is not without a chance of victory, but now?After fighting for a long time, there was no sign of the other party. A powerful firepower net blocked them on both sides of the strait. The Soviet Red Army could only watch their shadows from a distance, and was still unable to fight them in close quarters.

The Soviet Red Army, which lacks equipment, can only gain a certain advantage in close combat. When in the distance, they can only rely on human lives to close the distance between them and their opponents, and then kill as much as possible in close combat. Opponents, grab their weapons to continue fighting.

This seems to have become the basic principle of the Soviet army's operations. Although every time there are heavy casualties, it is still successful in the end. Now?With nothing, so many people died, and after fighting for so long, the result is still the same. The front line has not been advanced an inch, and the enemy has not been killed much.

The spirit of the Soviet soldiers has gradually collapsed. Even a person who is not afraid of death, after seeing so many deaths and hopeless battles, who can guarantee that he can still be the same as before?

As long as a person has weaknesses, as long as a person is afraid of death, this is an eternal truth, knowing that the fear of death in the heart cannot be changed.

"Mommy mommy!"

A Soviet soldier was lying on the ground, hugging his calf, a large amount of blood flowed from the stump, and kept calling for his mother, his eyes became more and more blurred, but there was a lot of unwillingness in the blurred eyes, He wanted to live, but he didn't want to die. Although he had acted bravely before, at the moment of dying, he was finally terrified.

With the current medical conditions of the Soviet Army, there is no hope of saving him, even if it is placed on the side of the North Army Group.Excessive blood loss, the blood in the body is basically drained.Moreover, the wound is so large that it is very troublesome to deal with.It will also take time, and he simply can't last until then.

If he had been treated by the North Army Group when his leg was just broken, maybe he still had hope of surviving, but right now, even Immortal Da Luo couldn't save him.

On the bloody battlefield, one after another, complete or mutilated corpses lay there quietly. The sound of guns and guns seemed to end them, and at the same time brought them some companions.The entire battlefield is like hell, and people will feel terrible after seeing it.

Decades later, a retired veteran of the North Army Group wrote this in his memoirs.As for what happened in the Battle of Irkutsk, it is also the battle that appears most frequently in the memoirs of retired veterans of the First Army.

'I don't know how much that war hurt me, but I knew that I had to do that at that time. There would inevitably be casualties in a war between the two countries. The situation at that time was either he died or I lived. I had no choice. .Besides, Tsarist Russia has occupied so much of our territory.They have no intention of returning them. Those lost territories must be recovered by us. '

'At the end of the battle, the weather was already a little hot, and the entire battlefield was covered with Soviet corpses, because it took too long.The corpses of the Soviet soldiers who died within a week began to rot and smell. In the later stages of the battle, the entire battlefield was full of corpses.Many comrades-in-arms were unable to eat, or even drink water. '

'Every day I close my eyes is what happened there that year.On the battlefield, Soviet soldiers fell one after another, and their corpses lay on the ground irregularly.After retiring, I chose to return to my hometown, but my hometown is already the territory of another country, but I don’t know if it is our territory, because the country’s territory is sacred and majestic, and foreign troops are not allowed to station troops Yes, but in my hometown, there is our country's garrison, because too many of our comrades-in-arms are buried there, and the garrison is to protect them.

After returning to my hometown for two years, I chose to move to Irkutsk. After that, I would go to the battlefield every day, and when I saw some corpses lying on the ground, I would go forward and add some Take the soil, because after that battle, most of the residents of Irkutsk chose to move to other places. Until the decades after the war, the number of residents here did not exceed 1. This is The damage that battle did to the city. '

There are many, many records about this battle. Whether it is the winner or the loser, they did not express much dissatisfaction with each other, or what, many memoirs record the horror of that battle, but there is one thing After this battle, Stalin's position in the Soviet Red Army has begun to shake, and lower-level soldiers have begun to trust Stalin less.

And the political commissars sent by Stalin were shot to death from time to time. The current Soviet Union is an alliance composed of more than ten countries, and these soldiers also come from different countries. Some people worship Stalin, while others don’t. I have a cold, but I dare not say it.

But after this battle, Stalin's status had indeed begun to shake. Even Marshal Zhukov, who was extremely loyal to the Soviet Union, began to express dissatisfaction with Stalin, and even resisted.According to insiders, Zhukov's dissatisfaction with Stalin mainly stemmed from Stalin's rejection of Zhukov's proposal and ordered Zhukov to take the initiative to attack.

And this battle also brought great harm to Zhukov. Zhukov not only lost an arm because of this, but more psychological damage. Millions of people were killed in battle. This is unprecedented in the history of the Soviet army. There have been records, setting a record for the largest number of casualties in a single battle since the establishment of the Soviet Union.

The time went back to the end of March [-]. The Air Force of the Northern Army Group, which had received an order to intercept the Soviet army's support army, dispatched thousands of fighter planes. They were full of various ammunition and flew towards the place where the Soviet army supported the army.

But if they want to get there, they have to pass over Irkutsk, and it is impossible for thousands of fighters to pass by one by one, so many fighters have to extend outward.

Li Peng drove his Hellcat fighter plane and followed his regiment to the destination over Slyudyanka, and Li Peng was the outermost fighter plane. The boring journey made him want to doze off, because now The current war is really too boring for them, and before the war happened, they couldn't even raise their spirits at all.

In the past, because there was no airborne radar, they had to carefully observe whether there were enemy planes around during the flight, but now they don't need to pay attention to these. Once an unknown fleet is found, those fighter planes equipped with airborne radar will remind them.

Li Peng looked at the ground boredly, because the plane's flight altitude was not high, and he could even see the houses on the ground without any equipment. Things he couldn't believe.

Soviet army? (to be continued..)
