reborn super empire

(There was a mistake in the place name in the previous chapter. The Soviet army should retreat to Lesosibirsk, not Ust-Ilimusk. Because it is troublesome to change the VIP chapter, I will correct it here.)

Let’s not talk about what will happen to the Germans for the time being, because it’s tantamount to not saying anything. Even if the Germans don’t move at all, the Soviets don’t dare to deploy troops from the Western Front to support the Far East.

So if the Soviets want to support operations in the Far East, they must recruit new soldiers to join the army, but what are the consequences?Needless to say, everyone understands that if the Soviet Union continues to recruit troops with great fanfare, it will inevitably cause an imbalance in the ratio of male to female population in the country.

Although the Soviet Union in World War II also caused an imbalance in the ratio of men to women, coupled with the cold region of the Soviet Union, most men smoked and drank alcohol, which greatly damaged the physiological balance of the human body, and eventually led to a sharp increase in male mortality. This will continue to be the case in Russia in the future.

Many women find a man to sleep with, and then separate from that man after she becomes pregnant, and die alone with their children. Of course, there are also lucky ones, they can marry a man, but their married life is always different. As you wish.

The men are always drinking and being promiscuous, and the women can only pretend not to know about it, because they know that if they want to keep the family, they must make some compromises.

Men in the Soviet Union did not lack daughters-in-law. It can be said that if a divorce is made today, a woman will post it on her own initiative the next day. Even a married man has a happy family.There will also be women who keep poaching the wall.

This is all due to the excessive death of men in World War II and the short life span of men.However, so far the Soviet Union has not had any problems in this regard, so Stalin even wanted to expand its military.Also consider the hidden dangers that may arise in this regard.

However, according to Stalin's temperament, he would rather let the Soviet Union perish, and it is impossible to sit back and watch the Soviet Union be annexed. A new round of military expansion is inevitable. Most of the factories are women working, even working in the fields and so on.

And the men either joined the army, or ran away without a trace, in factories or in the fields.Men are rarely seen.

Looking back on the battlefield, after receiving the news, the Air Force reconnaissance plane immediately conducted a low-altitude search and reconnaissance in the direction of Ust-Ilimusk. In just one hour, the reconnaissance plane flew over Lesosibirsk.

To their surprise, the vanguard of the Soviet army had already begun to cross the river here, and even some soldiers had already crossed the river, and built simple fortifications on the other side of the river.

It's just that because of the dense forest behind it, aerial reconnaissance cannot accurately see the situation on the ground.Therefore, it is impossible to know where the Soviet troops have gone and how many people have not crossed the river.

When the news reached the ground troops, the entire Fifth Army fell silent. What should we do?To chase or not to chase?In case the Soviet army has all crossed the river after the past.And if the bridge is destroyed, what should they do?

This is a pursuit battle, and most of the soldiers of the Fifth Army are carrying ammunition.I only brought rations for a few days, and now I have almost eaten enough.The follow-up supplies did not keep up. If they catch up, what if the supplies are not delivered.There is no guarantee that there will be enough supplies if only relying on air force transportation.

However, ground transportation does not need to be thought about within half a month. According to the current situation, it will take at least half a month for the road conditions to recover, and it is still under the premise that it does not rain. Once it rains, the time will be reduced. was delayed again.

Jinxi, within the headquarters of the North Army Group.

Liu Ling anxiously paced back and forth in the headquarters, his mind spinning rapidly, and one question after another flew past his head quickly. In a short period of time, he had already thought about dozens of questions.

Although the Fifth Army seems to be a big victory now, if it is not done well, it may become a big defeat. Because of the geographical environment, the supply troops cannot quickly deliver supplies to the hands of various troops, and the air force also has its own tasks every day. , it is impossible to keep sending supplies to various troops.

In this case, the troops will once again fall into the situation of lack of supplies. Once the Soviet army launches a counterattack, the consequences will be disastrous.There is no need to worry too much about ammunition for the time being. The ammunition carried by each soldier is enough for them to support a medium-scale battle. The only thing Liu Ling worries about is the problem of food.

The roads are muddy. Although there are maps, there are no local guides. They are also very unfamiliar with the environment of each road. From the beginning of the war to the present, trucks alone have been trapped nearly a thousand times. Hundreds of people were killed, and in the current environment, they walked into the swamp without paying attention.

Although the chances are not very high, the tragic logistics team really walked in once. At any rate, they found it in time. Two trucks full of supplies were trapped, one of the four drivers was trapped, and the remaining three drivers Escape by leaning on the planks on the truck.

Originally, the winter was better because it was covered with snowflakes. The winter in the Soviet Union was already very cold. After the snowflakes melted, a hard layer of ice formed above the swamp, and even if someone walked on it, it would not sink.

But since March, the ice layer began to melt gradually, and it lasted until the end of April, and the ice layer melted slowly, and there were puddles everywhere on the ground, it was difficult to tell whether it was a swamp ahead.

The Soviets are quite experienced in this, and there are very few examples of getting stuck, but the North Army Group is different. They have little experience and don't know how to judge, which is why they have caused the current situation. situation.

The progress of the ground supply troops is slow, and the capacity of the air transport aircraft is insufficient. Are the troops advancing or retreating?Liu Ling also had a headache. Although the spring offensive was very helpful to them, it wasn't all helpful. At least the unknown swamp delayed a lot of things for them.

The most terrible thing is that the two armies of the first group army have been isolated, and it is impossible for them to rejoin the battle in a short time.And the two armies behind have their own tasks, that is to say.In case the Soviet army counterattacks, only one reserve army and two airborne divisions of the First Army can support the Fifth Army.

And before that.Su Dao repeatedly reminded Liu Ling to pay attention to the counterattack of the Soviet army. If they counterattacked, they should do what they can, and must not be surrounded by them, or run out of ammunition and food.

These are all Su Dao told Liu Ling based on the real history of World War II in later generations. Since the Soviet army can wipe out the German army in a counterattack, at least it poses a certain threat to the North Army Group, no matter whether the threat is big or small. , it is right to be careful after all.

"Order the troops to stop the pursuit. The Fifth Army retreats to the Kansk area and is on standby!"

After a long time, Liu Ling ordered.

Kansk is now their occupied area. Although there is not much food in it, at least the soldiers can have a place to live. No matter how bad they are, they can also directly transport supplies to Kansk Airport through the Air Force transport plane, and the transport plane directly lands and unloads. It is more cost-effective to download materials than airdrop materials. Although it is a bit more laborious, it is more cost-effective.

Furthermore, Liu Ling also hoped to wait, at least until there was news from the First Army.Initiating a new attack, now his strength is not enough, and it happens to be at this critical juncture, the burden on the Fifth Army is not light at all.Therefore, the Fifth Army cannot make any mistakes at all.

"Commander, Taiwan has called. The Ninth Army supporting us has boarded the ship. The ship is expected to sail tonight and arrive in Jinxi in a week."

The staff came to report.

Liu Ling hurriedly lay down on the map and glanced at Taiwan.Then he looked at Jinxi again, after a long time.Liu Ling shook his head slowly and sighed.

The Ninth Army is a newly formed force. It can be said that the recruits recruited from the south of China in the past year have been directly sent to Taiwan for training. In one year, Taiwan has created the Ninth Army.

As for the recruits from the Northern Army Group, I won’t mention them for now. Some of them have already been sent to the battlefield, but most of them are currently guarding their home in the Northeast.There are still two redundant army groups in the country at this time. Originally, Su Dao wanted to transfer all of them to the North Army Group, but was stopped by Liu Ling. The Tenth Army was transferred to the North Army Group.

China currently has the Second Army and the Armed Police Force stationed in the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia, the Fourth Army stationed in Taiwan, the new Ninth Army temporarily stationed in Taiwan, the Sixth Army stationed in Australia, and the Eighth Army stationed in Saudi Arabia. One is the Tenth Army temporarily stationed in Luzon and the No.11 Army temporarily stationed in Borneo.

It can be said that the strength of the troops is very easy if the defense is not adjusted, but once all the three armies are transferred to the North Army Group, once the United States and other countries attack the mainland, there will be no mobile forces in the country to call.

Originally, Liu Ling planned to only need Taiwan's newly formed Ninth Army. In this case, the total strength of the Northern Army Group would reach nearly 500 million. It would not be difficult to capture their predetermined target. It is to reduce the pressure on the troops a little, but it wastes more troops, which is not worthwhile.

However, Su Dao still forced Liu Ling to send two group armies, more than 180 million support troops. At present, the total number of armed forces in the Chinese Empire is just that small. It is impossible for the number of troops to exceed the current number in 20 years. So in the following time, they can only keep improving and replace quantity with quality.

"No, let them drive directly to Vladivostok and land there. At the same time, order each railway station to prepare enough trains there before the Ninth Army arrives in Vladivostok. The Ninth Army will take the train directly to the front line."

Liu Ling ordered directly.

In this case, no matter when the first group army lifts the quarantine, after half a month, they will be able to launch a new round of attacks. Once the first group army lifts the quarantine, their offensive power will be even stronger. It is not difficult to break through the central part of the Soviet Union. (To be continued..)
