Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 1275

Before this battle, the Soviet army had already shown some skill under the planning of the General Staff.Whether it is the deception of strategic intentions or the concealment of tactical mobilization, they have reached the pinnacle of the Soviet army in military history.In addition to using a considerable amount of force in a large number of combat-experienced troops, they all joined the battle sequence of the Fifth Army. This front army that had been beaten and disabled suddenly had a super organizational system of 21 reorganized divisions.During the mobilization process, before May 5, they had concentrated 30 infantry divisions, [-] cavalry divisions, [-] armored brigades and [-] various artillery pieces secretly entered the front-line positions.Now, everyone is holding their breath.They waited for the last order from Zhukov, the commander of the Supreme Command.

At 2:20 in the morning, Zhukov issued an order to start counter preparations.

At 2:30, counter-preparations had begun everywhere, and Supreme Commander Ling Zhukov called, and there was only one sentence in the phone: "Fire!"

At 5:30 on May 2, the Soviet Sixth Guards Army first carried out shelling to prevent the Dragon Army from destroying the Soviet security detachment.When the Soviet artillery shells suddenly struck fiercely, the Long Army finally understood: the attack attempt was over.

A flash of light that almost turned the night into day passed across the front of the Soviets. Many officers and soldiers of the Dragon Army who were nervously watching the direction of the dark Soviet formation felt their eyes were dazzled.When the idea that this is a new Soviet weapon was still spinning in my mind, a huge and unimaginable roar rang in my ears.The shelling of the Soviets has begun!There are as many as 260 heavy howitzers, cannons, rocket launchers, 370 field guns, mountain guns, and 320 heavy mortars with a longer range, all roaring at the same time on a not very long front!

The trajectory of the shells immediately interweaved a huge net of flames in the sky.In just a few seconds, groups of shells landed on the positions of the expeditionary army, and the earth trembled suddenly, as if a huge volcano was about to erupt under people's feet!This is indeed the cruelest war in human history!The unison roar of thousands of cannons finally opened the prelude to the most tragic battle in World War III.

In the early morning of May 5, the Soviet army carried out a second bombardment lasting 30 minutes: first, a 30-minute surprise attack on the starting position of the Dragon Army, followed by a 5-minute constant-speed direct-pointing fire on the artillery position, and finally a 15-minute attack on the artillery position. The possible staging area of ​​the tanks carried out artillery fire raids for 10 minutes.As is customary, the shelling began and ended with an unusually violent rocket salvo.

At 3 o'clock in the morning, the artillery unit of the 7th Infantry Army also joined in. This army used 696 artillery mortars and 47 rocket launchers to bombard the Dragon Army tanks and infantry assembly areas, consuming half of the base ammunition within 30 minutes.Everything around was shaken, and there was a thrilling rumbling explosion.The largest battle in the Bulge begins.

In this terrible "symphony", the bombardment of heavy artillery, the explosion of bombs, M31 rockets, "Katyusha", and the constant roar of aircraft motors merged into one.

A Soviet artillery observer described the scene he saw at the time: "Those Chinese are no more than 2 kilometers away from the concealed fortification of our artillery observation post. At this moment we hear and feel this. There was a shooting like a storm. The comrades around me all opened their mouths and covered their ears, enduring the huge shock and the loud sound of the shell explosion that pierced into people's hearts. Everyone followed The shock of the explosion shook violently, as if the heart and lungs were about to be shaken out. The gunpowder smoke filled their airways and lungs, making them so hot that people couldn't breathe. The dragon army artillery immediately started to fight back. The creek that divided At this time, it has become a world of flying shrapnel. The river water reflects flashes of explosions, and what flows all over the river seems to be the light of blood."

The Dragon Army in the north of the salient also realized their intentions. Although the 4th Army fighting here did not take the initiative to attack like Chen Jitang did, he also sent combat engineers to clear the minefields.However, due to the heavy security of the Soviet army and the cover of firepower, the Chinese failed to complete the task until the morning of June 6.In the process of digging mines, an engineer of the 1th Infantry Division of the Dragon Army was also captured by scouts commanded by Lieutenant Mileshniko of the 6st Red Army Army.The prisoner then provided an important message to the Soviets: the Dragon Army had entered the starting position and would launch an attack at 1 am on June 6.

At 6:1 a.m. on June 2, the 20th Army of the Central Front Army of the Red Army began shelling. At this time, it was only 13 minute before the artillery preparation of the Dragon Army.In a moment, the ground that was still silent just now violently rose up!A Soviet army commander later described: "The bombardment is getting more and more fierce! The west is dark, and the flames of the explosion cut through the thick gray-black smoke and dust, like an ominous black wall rising into the sky. The immortal Dante, despite his amazing Imagination may not be able to describe hell in this way in his "Divine Comedy". I walked to an artillery battery 1 meters away from the command post. Since no one could hear the voice of speech, people had to make gestures. Everyone Open your mouth, or you'll burst your eardrums. Muscular soldiers with tanned bodies, glistening with sweat under the cannon."

After a series of calculations, Zhukov and his staff made the following assessment on the effect of fire counter-preparation: When the Soviet army launched shelling, most of the Dragon Army's attacking infantry were still in bunkers. , shelters and deep trenches, their tanks should also be hidden in the standby area, and they did not appear at all.Therefore, Zhukov believes that if the Soviets can shoot 3060 minutes later, the effect will be better.Zhukov's point of view is indeed reasonable, but it must also be taken into account that delaying the shooting must risk the Dragon Army's first fire preparation.On the whole, although the shelling by the Soviets may not have caused serious losses to the Dragon Army's vital forces and equipment, it did throw them into chaos.The attack time of the Central Army Group was forced to be delayed by two and a half hours, while the South Army Group was delayed by 3 hours.It was this bombardment that completely kicked off the prelude to the decisive battle.

At 6:1 a.m. on June 2, when the cannons were roaring, Stalin called Zhukov: "How is it? Has it started?" Zhukov had just picked up the phone when he heard Stalin's anxious words.

"It's started!" Zhukov replied quickly and firmly.

On Monday, June 6, International Children's Day, dawn began to break on the horizon at 1:4 a.m. that day.At around 38 on May 5, the Chinese armored forces began to go to the assembly area and arrived at around 31:2021.Since 24:5 on May 31, heavy rain began to fall in the south, making the ground somewhat muddy, and this situation lasted until June 3.

For the Chinese Air Force, June 6st was a fine and sunny day.The airports of Longjun ushered in a crowded and busy morning.After some tense preparations, amidst the thunderous roar, a large group of horizontal bombers took off first and assembled over the airport, waiting to join the fighter jets that took off later.On the frontline where the gunpowder has not yet exhausted after the Soviet bombardment, with the sun falling on the sky above, it will no longer be the silence that lasted for nearly 1 days, but roaring artillery fire and burning flames!
One day in July 1929, Guan Xuqing had just listened to the report on the situation of the Sino-Russian war. His expression was a little heavy and complicated, and he always seemed to be absent. He suddenly asked Zhao Bingjun: "Is Mata Hari No. 7 really Is it hard to fix?"

This incident can be traced back to the end of last year, when Mata Hari [-] was conducting the third teleportation experiment, a strange thing happened suddenly. The strength and equipment of one of the divisions did not reach the target area as planned. On the contrary, the communication of this division was suddenly interrupted, and since then it has disappeared without a trace.

Einstein said in his report to the emperor that this may have been caused by an error in the vector calculation of the space-time orbit, but the specific reason is still unclear.

Guan Xuqing asked further: "Where did these soldiers go? Is it possible to find them?"

Einstein said painfully: "Maybe maybe the space-time machine is not as perfect as we imagined. On the contrary, before many problems are clarified, this experiment must not continue, because the officers and soldiers of that division are very likely It was transported to another time and space."

"Another time and space? If this is the case, can't we go back to any historical node?"

"In theory, yes, but we can't really do it because we can't control the target time and space, which means we can't teleport people or things to the predetermined time and space, and as I said in the past, time and space teleportation technology has a A huge paradox, when time changes, all objects in the space will also change, so the soldiers of that division may have disappeared due to the sudden change of time and space.”

"Is there a way to fix this?"

"No, at least for me, I don't have this ability anymore. Mata Hari No. [-] has been a mistake since the day it was produced, and it is a mistake that cannot be saved at all."

If it is said that Guan Xuqing had a little fantasy about traveling through time and space, then now this fantasy has been burst like a bubble. Maybe, maybe in this life, he will never be able to return to the era that haunted him forever. For him who now possesses supreme power and honor, I don't know whether it is a kind of luck or a kind of regret.
