reborn super empire

() Soviet army?How did they appear here? ** secretly surprised in his heart, but thinking of the geographical location of Slyudyanka, ** quickly guessed their intentions. If the Soviet army is really below, then the situation will be a bit bad.

"Regimental Commander, do you think the following is the Soviet army?"

**Reported to the head of the regiment through the communicator that the Air Force is composed of squads, squadrons, brigades, and then flight regiments, flight brigades, and pilot divisions, and this time** their entire regiment will pass here.

After hearing the voice of **, Tao Bi also lowered his head to look at the situation on the ground, but because the distance was too far, he didn't find anything unusual.However, since ** found an abnormality, it would definitely not be a nonsense report, so Tao took out his telescope and pointed it down for observation.

There is no way, it is impossible to lower the altitude of the fighters rashly, not to mention that it will affect the flight of the entire formation, and at the same time it will bring some potential dangers to himself, so in this case, he can only look through the telescope The following situation.

At the beginning, Tao Pai didn't find anything abnormal, but with the movement of the fighter plane, a trace of abnormality suddenly appeared on the well-hidden ground. There were a large number of people moving, but they were moving towards the tree , apparently to avoid being found by the Air Force.

Sure enough, it was the Soviet army, Tao Ba secretly affirmed in his heart, Slyudyanka is located at the southwest end of Lake Baikal, and it is the only place for Irkutsk to contact the rear except Lake Baikal, the closest land distance, it can be said that once Slyudyanka was occupied by the Soviet army, so the supplies of the First Army were also likely to be cut off.

Of course, it was not completely cut off, but the Slyudianka line was cut off. Even without this line, they could still be transported through Lake Baikal or the northern part of Lake Baikal. It would be a waste of time. The fastest way is to transport by water, but the loading and unloading of ships, and since Lake Baikal is an inland lake, there are no large-tonnage transport ships at all, and the transport capacity is really limited.

However, if you pass the land road in the northern part of Baikal, you will have to walk one or two thousand kilometers more. You must know what one or two thousand kilometers means in the current road environment?In other words, materials that could have been delivered in one day now take at least six or seven days, or even longer.

"Tower Tower, I am the Air Tenth Regiment. When our troops passed over Slyudyanka, we found Soviet infantry in the southwest of Slyudyanka. Please ask the ground troops to go over and scout the exact number of enemy troops."

Tao Pai communicated with the ground tower through the radio station.

Although he can also contact the garrison of Slyudyanka directly, it is too troublesome. He needs to find out the communication channel of Slyudyanka from the code book first, and then change the channel of the communicator before he can contact. Will waste more time.

What's more, such words will distract him, and the gain outweighs the gain. Instead of this, it is better to report the situation here directly to the control tower, and then the control tower will contact the Slyudyanka garrison. The control tower on the side of Liujiangka also had a lot of contacts.

On weekdays, calls for air support are usually made from the ground to the tower, and the tower is going to give orders to the fighter planes. Of course, there are exceptions. If there are fighter planes on the same channel as the ground at that time, their calls are heard by the fighter planes. , then fighters will directly support.

But this kind of situation is very rare, only the ground troops deliberately join the channel of the Air Force fighter plane, so as to call for support in wartime, and things like the air force joining the ground channel have basically never happened.

"Received by the tower, Air Tenth Regiment, your department will continue to carry out the mission, and we will be responsible for the ground troops!"

Soon, a reply came from the control tower.

As Tao Wei imagined, this situation should be handled by the tower. As a pilot, he has his own mission, and it is impossible to get involved in everything by himself. If that is the case, will this mission still be done? up?

After responding to the tower, Tao Pai no longer paid attention to the situation on the ground. Anyway, the ground troops would send scout troops to check the situation later. It would be impossible for him to stay here and not move, besides, he still had his own As for the mission, the Soviet Red Army over there is still waiting to eat the shells. What if they are late and get angry?

Jinxi, North Army Group Command.

"Commander, just now when the Air Force passed by Slyudyanka, it found the shadow of the Soviet army there. Slyudyanka just sent scouts to find out the news. It is estimated that there will be accurate information soon."

After receiving the news from the air force, the communications staff immediately passed the battle report to Liu Ling's ears.

Hearing the latest situation, Liu Ling hurriedly lay down on the map and stared at it with wide eyes. After repeating it again and again, Liu Ling slammed the table and suddenly shouted: "That's right."

Seeing Liu Ling's anomaly, other people in the headquarters were also very depressed, especially the communications staff officer, who was walking around behind you, and you still said it was right?Others were surprised because they didn't know what happened, but if the truth was told to them, many people would be depressed.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Ling took out a red pencil and quickly drew a few arrows on the map, and then felt a little dissatisfied. After drawing a few more arrows, he nodded in satisfaction.

But the Communications Staff Officer was surprised. Looking at the map processed by Liu Ling, he couldn't believe it could be true, but the information on the front line was transmitted through him, so he naturally knew the map drawn by Liu Ling. What do the arrows represent?

It may be nothing if the information is scattered, but once they are linked together and marked on the map at the same time, the Soviet army's combat intentions will be exposed at once.

Yes, the communication staff officer is so busy on weekdays that he has no time to study tactics and the like. His daily job is to sort out information, receive telegrams and so on, so he has no time to think about other things.

But even such a person who doesn't know much about tactics can see the Soviet army's intentions on this map at a glance, let alone other people. It's just that after understanding the Soviet army's intentions, the communications staff became depressed again. Was it so easy to decipher the intention of the Soviet army?

The Air Force is a Soviet reinforcement found in Zima, and the current battlefield is mainly in Cheremhovo, Svirsk, Siberia Usolye, Angarsk, and Irkutsk, surrounded by valleys on both sides , It is not conducive to large corps operations.

Although there are about tens of kilometers of plains between the valleys, it is enough to use this terrain to surround the enemy for large corps operations. Zhukov is originally a Soviet and has also stayed in the Far East. Combat maps are more detailed than their maps.

So Liu Ling had no reason not to believe that Zhukov would not know the danger of letting troops enter here, and he sent troops here regardless of the danger, obviously he was prepared.

At the beginning, other Soviet troops were found in Jima, which seemed to confirm Liu Ling's guess. Zhukov really had a premeditated plan. The surrounded Soviet troops can be said to be decoys, or they can be said to be the last counterattack of the Soviet army. A wonderful move, as to whether it can play its role, it can only depend on the survivability of the surrounded Soviet troops.

The second clue found was Slyudyanka. The Soviet troops appeared here, and their intentions were obvious. They wanted to cut off the retreat of the First Army, and then defend Slyudyanka to the death. The group army implemented anti-encirclement tactics.

Thinking of this, Liu Ling couldn't help but doubt his guess. Is it so easy for a group army of more than 80 people to carry out anti-encirclement? More than 80 people can surround a Soviet army of more than 100 million troops and keep him immobile. Even if the Soviet army increases its strength by 100 million, it may not be able to successfully implement anti-encirclement.

Is it just to rescue the trapped Soviet army?That's even more impossible. Zhukov's previous intention was to use these trapped Soviet troops as bait. How could he throw out the bait and save them with greater casualties?

So now Zhukov has only one way to go, either to see with his own eyes the nearly one million Soviet Red Army that he used as a bait to be annihilated, or to devote all his troops to a decisive battle with Liu Ling.

Liu Ling has gradually begun to believe that Zhukov wants to fight him in a decisive battle, because Zhukov has no advantage in terms of military strength, nor does he have the slightest advantage in weapons and equipment. If there is a war of attrition, although it is not good for the North Army Group, But it is even more so for the Soviet army. They don't have enough food, they don't have enough weapons and ammunition.

Therefore, a quick battle seems to be Zhukov's idea, and Zhukov seems to be very smart, knowing that he is not an opponent of the Northern Army Group when he puts all his troops into it. A group army.

For Zhukov, it doesn't matter whether he can defeat the North Army Group, because even a fool knows that they can't beat them with this strength. The main purpose of the Soviet Union now is to dampen the offensive spirit of the North Army Group. Or annihilation, then it will undoubtedly be a bolt from the blue for the North Army Group.

In this case, Zhukov's mission is considered complete, and Liu Ling seems to have guessed something. According to Zhukov's behavior, he will definitely not be so reckless. Stalin must have played a very important role in this battle. Otherwise, Zhukov would never have come to fight such a desperate battle.

"Order the air force to conduct 24-hour uninterrupted reconnaissance in this area. At the same time, order the troops in this area to send out scouts to investigate the surrounding situation to see if any Soviet troops have sneaked in."

Immediately afterwards, Liu Ling drew another big circle on the map.

For him, this area will be a dangerous area. Once a large number of Soviet troops are found here, his idea will be confirmed for a long time. If not, his idea will be overturned in the short term.Now Liu Ling hopes that there are Soviet troops in this area, because he only needs to be tired for a while, and then he can enjoy a few months of good time.

And if Zhukov's combat intentions are as he expected, then after this battle, the Soviet Union will completely lose control of the Far East, and it is impossible to send new troops here to fight here in the short term.

More importantly, if everything goes as expected, the Soviet Union will be severely damaged after this war, and it will not be able to recover within a few years.

At that time, they can take this opportunity to stabilize the land they have already occupied, or continue to increase the strength of the Northern Army Group, and at the same time prepare to continue westward. There are many options for them to choose. On the one hand, the Soviet Union has to deal with the German attack. On the other hand, we must also consider the security of the east and fight on two fronts. Although Germany is also fighting on two fronts, the Soviet Union must be the first to collapse.

Because the Soviet Union did not have the background of Germany, because the Soviet Union did not have an ally like the Chinese Empire. (To be continued.)
