Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2495 Kungur

The Battle of Kungur is destined to leave a strong mark in the history of this world war.Because this was not only the first large-scale confrontation between the German army and the Chinese army, but also sounded the clarion call for the Allied forces to launch a counterattack against the German army.That's right, it's a counterattack.Not to mention the Soviet-Russian battlefield, North Africa and the Middle East, the British and the French have survived the most difficult period, especially the French Central African Army, which has recognized the leadership of Free France and thus won the cadet army After the support of a large number of advanced weapons and equipment, the indomitable momentum of the Germans was immediately contained.

In this service, the German Army Group A dispatched three armored divisions, two infantry divisions and one aviation division.The Chinese Far East Army was fully mobilized. In the end, at Ouyang Yun's strong request, Stalin sent two Soviet divisions to reinforce the battlefield.

According to the order of command, the Chinese Far East Expeditionary Force is divided into two parts: the Army and the Air Force.The army part has jurisdiction over Zhang Zizhong's No.30 Eighth Army and Hu Li's Northwest Army, of which the No.30 Eighth Army is the 29th Army and the 38th Army, and each army has three B divisions; the Northwest Army is the Renqiu Mountain Division and the Yingyashan Army. Mountain divisions, each army governs two Type A divisions.The air force part is based on the Volunteer Brigade of the Air Force Aiding the Soviet Union, and has two aviation brigades under its jurisdiction, and each aviation brigade has two fighter squadrons and a bomber squadron under its jurisdiction.

The battle first took place between the No.20 [-]st Armored Division of the German Army and the Yingyashan Mountain Division under the personal command of Jiang Tiezhang. After the two sides received reports from their respective reconnaissance planes and found the enemy, the first thing they thought of was to occupy the city of Kungur The unnamed highland in the south of the city, and then the two sides began a tug-of-war around the unnamed highland.The German army is closer to the unnamed highlands, and the German army is more mechanized, so the German army first controlled the unnamed highlands.However, due to the rush of time, the German army failed to build a solid fortification before the Eagle Cliff Mountain Division arrived.

Jiang Tiezhang was leading the troops forward when suddenly the scouts in front sent back information-the unnamed highland had been occupied by the German army. "Damn! The Germans took the lead!" Jiang Tiezhang frowned at that moment, and then he looked at the Soviet Russian guide beside him, his eyes were very unfriendly.Due to the continuous bombing of the German army, Kungur has long been turned into ruins.Therefore, after receiving the order from the Supreme Command asking them to wait for an opportunity to counterattack, after discussing with Hu Li, Zhang Zizhong and Hu Li did not regard Kungul as the first recovery target.There is another reason why they made such a decision. After all, the Far East Expeditionary Force was fighting in a foreign country. They were very unfamiliar with the geography of the theater, so they could not know in advance where the key points of defense were and where they could abandon them.The Soviet Russian government sent enough guides for them, but now it seems that these guides can only play the role of a guide, either because of qualification problems, or because they have received special care from above.

Waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, this order from the Supreme Command is actually a bit general.Of course, from the perspective of not accepting military orders abroad, the Supreme Command gave them higher autonomy in response to the current situation, which is the most appropriate under the current circumstances.After discussing with Hu Li and Jiang Tiezhang, Zhang Zizhong felt that in order to achieve the goal of the counterattack and recover as much lost ground as possible, the key was to eliminate the German army to the greatest extent.Because only when the German army is wiped out or scared, can it be possible to drive them away.And as long as they are driven away, a large area of ​​Soviet Russia's lost land will naturally be recovered.

Jiang Tiezhang and the others did a lot of intelligence gathering after they entered Soviet Russia, but without the support of the Soviet Russian military, this kind of work was laborious and inefficient.Of course, because Stalin always coveted the command of the Far East Expeditionary Force, Zhang Zizhong still decided to take everything into his own hands from the perspective of security.

Jiang Tiezhang realized the importance of the unnamed highland after receiving the report from the reconnaissance plane. To his regret, the Germans also saw this and seemed to be ahead of them.Although the Yingyashan Mountain Division is now under the command of Jiang Tiezhang, the commander of the division is his third brother Jiang Tieyao.Jiang Tieyao has also received the report, and at this time is asking him through the phone: "Old five, do you want to fight?"

"Fight, of course we have to fight. If we don't take down the unnamed highland, we will be blocked east of Kungur!" Jiang Tiezhang made a decision in an instant, and then ordered: "Thank you for the ancient, please reply."

Xie Zuogu is the head of the self-propelled artillery regiment of the Yingyashan Mountain Division.He responded immediately and asked for action orders. "Boom the German devils, boom hard!" Jiang Tiezhang ordered, and then he called the Air Force Headquarters of the Expeditionary Army, and asked Gu Tianyao, the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, for support.After experiencing the Battle of Ufa, Jiang Tiezhang and the others have basically figured out the German army's combat laws.On the whole, the German army's combat method is very similar to the three axes of aircraft, guns, and tanks that the Japanese invaders relied on earlier. The arms are completely consumed.

Jiang Tiezhang's prediction was accurate. The artillery regiment of the Yingyashan Mountain Division began to bombard the unnamed highlands, and the German fighter planes appeared in the southwest of the battlefield.Just as he was about to order the artillery regiment to move, the fighter jet group sent by Gu Tianyao also rushed to the battlefield.

As for Army Group A, Manstein summoned his generals to discuss the matter after he received Hitler's order asking him to formulate a plan to severely attack the Chinese troops entering Soviet Russia, and then he came to the conclusion: "China People are here to aid the Soviet army, so as long as we step up our attack and make the Soviets panic, then Stalin will definitely ask the Chinese army to strengthen reinforcements. At that time, it will be our chance to complete the task of the head of state.”

The expeditionary army wanted to counterattack, and Army Group A wanted to step up its offensive, so there was no doubt that the two sides collided fiercely.

Manstein also had a certain understanding of the combat power of the expeditionary force through the Battle of Ufa. He believed that in terms of combat power, the expeditionary force was not too far behind the A group army, so he decided to beat the Chinese in the first battle. You must use all your strength.Therefore, he not only specially selected the troops to participate in the "strengthening the attack", but also presided over the drafting of a very detailed combat plan.

In this plan, because he realized that the weakness of the air force is the weakness of the expeditionary force, he placed high hopes on the air force.It is believed that the strength of the armored forces of the expeditionary force can be weakened through the air force, and then a comprehensive advantage can be formed, thereby defeating the expeditionary force in World War I.Because of this plan, the air force affiliated to Army Group A took off immediately after discovering the enemy's situation, and immediately took off a brigade of fighter planes to stand guard behind the battlefield, so they could show up to attack immediately after the Yingyashan Mountain Division artillery regiment entered the battlefield.
