I am Jiang Weiguo in World War II

Page 458

Through the few secret transportation channels that were opened with money, Konev quietly accumulated strength. At this time, he had more than 500 tanks alone, and the regular army with well-trained, well-equipped, and sufficient ammunition had More than 20 people.

In the past, Konev had been standing still and patiently waiting, but now, he has officially used his accumulated trump card. The first to be hit is the core unit of the 31st Army, the 13th Army that Tang Enbo started his career from. The biggest reason why the corps became Konev's target was that the corps was positioned at the front and completely protruded on the front line.

After Sun Yuanliang was executed, Tang Enbo was terrified. He knew that he had underestimated Jiang Weiguo's "ruthlessness" and that Jiang Weiguo was the son of Chiang Kai-shek. Therefore, Jiang Weiguo himself was a "humanoid Shangfang sword" with the power to cut first and then play. In order to make up for his mistakes, Tang Enbo next beat He worked very hard, and the more he fought, the more he "had fun", because he found that the Soviets were actually "very easy to fight", and they only practiced crowd tactics, and their killing was like a hurricane passing by. Let the troops "go forward bravely", so the 13th Army and the 85th Army scrambled together, and the news of killing the enemy continued to be sent to him, and the number of enemies killed was in tens of thousands. It is the Soviet militia, but after all, they have killed so many thousands, and they will definitely be able to make up for it.

When the Soviet army counterattacked, the 13th Army was on a wilderness and snowy field between Biysk and Novokuznetsk. The three division commanders of the army were gathering together, pointing out the country and berating Fang Qiu with great pride.

Bao Gang, the commander of the 4th Division, said with emotion: "The Soviets are much easier to fight than the Japanese! When we fought against the Japanese, it was no small victory to wipe out hundreds of Japanese troops. Now it is thousands or even tens of thousands of Soviets. tens of thousands.

No wonder the Russians were no match for Little Japan during the Russo-Japanese War! "

Li Bifan, commander of the 23rd Division, said: "You can't say that. Most of the main force of the Soviet army is on the Eastern European battlefield, and most of the main force of the Soviet army on our side is carried by the Nanjing army. We are just picking up the loopholes!"

Wu Shaozhou, the commander of the 89th Division, said: "So we have to take advantage of his illness and kill him! The old Maozi has bullied us for hundreds of years, China's weakness and decline, and has continuously devoured our northern land. This time we will take it back with interest! The more Soviets are killed now, the better, and it will be much cleaner and easier in the future!"

At this time, a signal soldier of the Nanjing Army hurried over: "Report! A large number of Soviet troops have been found ahead! Tens of thousands! Our brigade has already exchanged fire with the Soviet troops in front!" The vanguard of the 13th Army is the 101st Division The 101st Brigade was less than two kilometers ahead of the 13th Army.

The three teachers were overjoyed: "Okay, the old man is here to die again!"

The communications officer said anxiously: "Three officers, these Soviet troops have a large number of tanks! There are hundreds of them!"

The three division commanders were taken aback: "What? Tanks? Hundreds more? How is that possible?" The three of them raised their binoculars together, and then froze together.

Under the cover of more than 300 tanks, more than 13 Soviet troops came roaring through ice and snow, flying clouds and fog. There are dozens of tanks, coming fiercely.

In the three directions, the t-34 tank group was galloping like lightning, and it was still running on the soft snow as if walking on flat ground. Tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers howled and charged forward, all over the mountains and plains were covered with white helmets and bayonets, and the sound of their footsteps was like the roar of a giant drum.

"Glorious Red Army soldiers! The time has come to destroy the Chinese invaders! Go forward!" Vatutin, commander of the Soviet 34th Army riding on a T-15 tank, roared angrily.

"Hurrah!" Amidst the blizzard-like shouts, all the Soviet officers and soldiers in charge spit fire from their eyes.

The 101st Brigade of the 101st Division of the Nanjing Army has already launched a fierce confrontation with the Soviet army. The brigade commander Qiu Xingxiang was also surprised when he saw so many tanks of the Soviet army. He really did not expect that the Soviet army in the four cities in North Asia would have so many tanks. And it was a new type of tank, but he quickly stabilized his mind, raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers! It's time to kill the enemy and serve the country! Go!" Stepping on the snow, they rushed back to the Soviet army, and an iron-blooded confrontation of flesh and steel broke out immediately.

The 101st Division is a "second-rate unit" in the Nanjing Army. Although its weapons and equipment are much better than those of the ordinary national army, they are not as good as the first-rate units such as the 77th, 74th, and 17th Divisions. It is rare, and it is only No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-]. There are not many No. [-] vehicles. There is also a lack of anti-tank weapons. There is not even a new iron fist. Only Molotov cocktails, explosive kits, and grenades can be used as anti-tank weapons. .

In the harsh wind and snow, the officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army who rushed back to the Soviet army fell down in the blood mist one after another. The machine gunners and gunners opened fire desperately, strafing the Soviet tanks, beating the Soviet tanks like hedgehogs Sparks ricocheted all over his body, blowing up flying ice, snow and smoke to cover his own infantry. The infantry tried their best to light their Molotov cocktails in the snowstorm. Most of the Molotov cocktails could not be ignited, and the few that could be ignited could not be effectively thrown to Su On the army tanks, the infantry holding Molotov cocktails approached the Soviet tanks desperately, and were shot and knocked down by the machine guns of the Soviet tanks one after another, blood staining the snow one after another.

Many red-eyed officers and soldiers picked up explosive packs or cluster grenades, rushed towards the Soviet tanks as if they were dead, or fell down among the bloody corpses and pretended to be dead, and waited for the Soviet tanks to get under the tank chassis and detonate them. The number of successes was very low, and only a dozen or so Soviet tanks were destroyed one after another.

More Soviet tanks rolled up, unstoppable, and the Soviet infantry behind the tanks shot bullets like locust lightning, making the Nanjing Army's attempt to destroy the Soviet tanks further unsuccessful and the number of casualties increased rapidly.

"This is the regular army of the Soviet Army! And it's the main force!" Qiu Xingxiang understood completely. He looked at the casualties of his own officers and soldiers everywhere, and couldn't help crying. Before the tears fell to the ground, they froze into small ice beads.

Qiu Xingxiang looked around, feeling like he was falling into an abyss. The Soviet army advanced very fast and surrounded the 101st Brigade.

"Fuck! Fight!" Qiu Xingxiang roared, "It's time to serve the country! Build foxholes with shells and grenades! Hurry up!"

There was a flat river in the snow, and there was almost no shelter. The officers and soldiers rushed to the craters opened by the shells to serve as foxholes, or buried grenades in the snow and exploded them. A little, and jump in as a fortification.

"Pile up the dead!" Qiu Xingxiang roared, "Use the dead as sandbags!" Following his order, the officers and soldiers piled up the bodies of their comrades who had died in battle and were quickly frozen solid in the low temperature of the wind and snow in the bomb crater The front serves as a cover, and then guns are set up on the dead bodies, and they fight hard, fighting to the death without retreating.

Two kilometers away, Bao Gang, Li Bifan, and Wu Shaozhou nervously watched the battle with binoculars, while communicating with Tang Enbo on the radio.

Tang Enbo was shocked when he learned that a large number of elite Soviet troops had come to counterattack. After knowing that these Soviet troops were not only regular troops but also had hundreds of tanks, he was even more frightened. He quickly understood that it was Konev who took out his The real troops are here, so he is unequivocal: "What are you waiting for? Get out!"

Bao Gang replied on the radio: "The 101st Brigade has been surrounded by the Soviet army!"

"You can't blame us!" Tang Enbo was furious. "The devil knows that the Soviets still have so many tanks! You retreat quickly! If you don't withdraw, you will be made dumplings by the Soviets together with Qiu Xingxiang!"

Bao Gang looked at Li Bifan and Wu Shaozhou beside him, and saw the same unwillingness on the other's face as himself.

Bao Gang gritted his teeth: "The 101st Brigade is still fighting, but we are retreating, isn't it?"

Tang Enbo was furious: "Can you save them? Do you have tanks? Do you have anti-tank guns? You go to save them, it's meat buns beating dogs! Retreat immediately!"

Bao Gang couldn't bear it anymore: "We have already run away once! There can't be a second time!" He looked at Li Bifan and Wu Shaozhou excitedly.

Li Bifan and Wu Shaozhou nodded firmly together: "We and Qiu Xingxiang are both Chinese soldiers, how can we not save them? Qiu Xingxiang and the others are fighting bloody battles, how can we flee?"

"That's right!" Bao Gang yelled into the radio intercom, "Senior, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" He hung up the intercom, raised his gun and shouted, "Brothers, let's fight the Soviets!"

"Fight it!" The officers and soldiers of the 13th Army were deeply infected by the 101st Brigade, and they were all excited. Under the leadership of the three division commanders, the 101 officers and soldiers of the three divisions did not advance but retreated, rushing head-on. The encircled [-]st Brigade swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger.

Seeing this scene, Vatutin was immediately overjoyed. His mission was to encircle and wipe out the 13th Army of the Chinese Army in front of him. The desperate resistance of the 101st Brigade of the Nanjing Army caused his troops to be dragged down to a certain extent. He was very worried. The 13th Army would take the opportunity to escape, but unexpectedly, the 13th Army threw itself into the trap and fell into his arms.

"Forward! Destroy them all in one go!" Vatutin yelled, and the more than 15 regular troops of the Soviet 13th Army, which had been ready to go, all attacked, and surrounded the 101th Army like a plow. Army and the [-]st Brigade.

On the wilderness and snow, the brutal fight suddenly magnified several times.

More than 400 Soviet troops with more than [-] tanks surrounded more than [-] Chinese troops who basically had no tanks and were very short of anti-tank weapons. The battle situation can be imagined.

The Soviet troops who participated in the battle were all gnashing their teeth and their eyes were cracked, and all the besieged Chinese troops were also full of anger and fire in their eyes. The two sides launched a frenzied battle.

Because of time constraints, Vatutin was eager for a quick battle. Under the lead of the tanks, the Soviet army crushed the Chinese army like a bulldozer.

Amidst the Chinese shouts of killing that resounded through the sky, the officers and soldiers of the national army who participated in the battle fought desperately. The mountains and rivers in the battle area changed color, and the dragon's blood turned yellow.

In the explosion of infantry shells, mortar shells, grenades, explosives, and Molotov cocktails, the Soviet tanks burst into flames one after another. The tanks were surrounded by the corpses of soldiers from both sides, and they hit each other with almost no cover. Soldiers from both sides fell down one by one. Soldiers from both sides were smashed into a hornet's nest by the tank machine gun of the T-34 tank and the general-purpose machine gun of the mg-34. . Both sides are red-eyed.

"Kill all these Chinese! They let countless of us starve to death! They are animals!" All Soviet officers and soldiers rushed towards the national army with red eyes.

"Kill all these Soviets! They even eat human flesh! They eat all the brothers who fall into their hands! They are animals!" All the officers and soldiers of the national army rushed towards the Soviet army with red eyes.

Thrilling gunshots, lightning and thunderous explosions, heart-piercing shouts, and grief-stricken cursing... Both sides fought frantically in the blood-stained snow, and fell to the ground. The wounded soldiers also fought to the end with their last breath. The grenade was fired and the surrounding enemy soldiers were blown to pieces. Suicide attacks abounded. The entire battlefield was completely shrouded in blood and blood.

Tang Enbo and Liu Kan, who knew that both the 13th Army and the 101st Brigade were surrounded by the Soviet Army, were shocked. The few dozens of tanks and armored vehicles of the 85st Division formed a small mechanized assault force and rushed into the encirclement of the Soviet army to start rescue.

It took only five hours for reinforcements from both sides to arrive at the fighting area, but the sound of gunfire and explosions has been greatly reduced, and the battle has basically ended.

At this time, Vatutin noticed that another Chinese army had arrived, and was immediately ecstatic. He resolutely gave up the final finishing campaign and commanded the troops to attack and surround the 85th Army with all their strength. The 85th Army was caught off guard. The loss was heavy, but it was also because of this that the mechanized assault troops of the 101st Division successfully rushed into the original place of the 101st Brigade and rescued Qiu Xingxiang, who was hit by three bombs and more than ten shell fragments. He was bleeding profusely until he lost too much blood and died. Fortunately, the temperature was very low and the wound was frozen, which effectively stopped the bleeding.

"Take them... they are all good... don't leave them behind..." Qiu Xingxiang, who was dying, insisted not to pass out. He was referring to Bao Gang, Li Bifan, and Wu Shaozhou who led the troops to fight side by side with him. Among the three division commanders, Bao Gang was blown into two pieces by Soviet tank shells, Li Bifan was hit in the head by a stray bullet, and Wu Shaozhou was seriously injured by Soviet artillery shells. Two of the three division commanders died and one was seriously injured.

Konev's fierce counterattack achieved fruitful results. The 13th Army and the 101st Brigade of the Chinese Army were almost wiped out, and the 85th Army was also severely hit. More than 2%), two major generals and division commanders were killed, the Soviet army suffered more than 30 casualties, and lost more than [-] tanks.

After the news came, both Peking and Wuhan were shocked.

Chapter 534 Big Avalanche (14)

"Konev really deserves his reputation..." Jiang Weiguo, who received the battle report from the front line, was deeply shocked, "What a sharp counterattack!"

"His tactics are nothing to the point!" Xiao Yao disapproved, "First show weakness deliberately, and then kill a carbine by surprise, and concentrate the elite on one point, clenching fingers into fists, and hitting our army's weak points hard. There are two key points. First, Konev paid a huge price to paralyze our army at all costs, how many people have he died since he launched a counterattack to break through?"

Jiang Weiguo thought for a while, then nodded in agreement: "Yes.

The Soviet army in the four cities of North Asia has almost lost 50 million dead so far. Although more than [-]% of them are militia cannon fodder, from the comparison of casualties, Konev's victory is not very glorious. He killed [-] enemies and lost one Wan, no matter how you look at it, it’s not a victory!”

Xiao Yao showed a mocking smile: "This is an 'advantage' of the Soviet generals, as long as they can win, it doesn't matter how much they pay or how many lives they sacrifice.

Such a reckless tactic, to be honest, we are really beyond our reach.

In addition..." He changed the subject with a serious expression, "The second reason why Konev can launch such a fierce counterattack is that he owns a lot of tanks, and most of them are new T-34 tanks.

The problem arose. When Konev retreated into the four North Asian cities, he did not see him carrying many tanks. The four North Asian cities did not have the conditions to independently produce tanks. Moreover, the t-34 is the latest Soviet army Tanks, it didn't take long to put them into mass production.

So, where did the hundreds of T-34s in Konev's hands come from?First of all, he didn’t own it when the Huxi battle broke out with us, and secondly, he didn’t make it by himself in the four cities of North Asia!”

Jiang Weiguo's face became tense: "The T-34 in Konev's hand has only one source, that is, after the national army launched a blockade and siege, it was transported from the Ural region or Eastern Europe to the four cities in North Asia.

There are big... loopholes in the encirclement and blockade of the national army!"

Xiao Yao sneered: "Prevent everything, but it's hard to guard against house thieves!"

Jiang Weiguo became annoyed: "Fuck! There are so many scum!" He suppressed his anger, "Brother Haoran, what do you think Konev's purpose is?"

Xiao Yao pondered for a while: "I think Konev is showing his strength, telling us that the Soviet army in the four cities in North Asia is very powerful, very aggressive and threatening, thus forcing us to draw out more Many troops intercept him and guard against him, so as to achieve the goal of diverting the tiger away from the mountain and attacking the west!"

"Oh?" Jiang Weiguo thought about it, "Then what do you think Konev will do next?"

"Expand the attack surface!" Without hesitation, Xiao Yao said, "Launch another counterattack on other lines of defense!"

"Then what should we do?"

"Follow the plan!" Xiao Yao seemed to have a plan in mind, "Konev wants to fight, so let him have a good fight! Let's not be led by the nose by him, abandon the four army groups, stop calmly, and wait for work at ease!"

"Abandon those four armies?"

"Although Konev is aggressive, his attack range is not large. The four cities in North Asia are his lairs, and he cannot escape. He can only show off his power within a hundred kilometers around the four cities in North Asia, and cannot go deep.

As long as we don't let Konev and Zhukov really join forces, the situation will still be in our hands! Xiao Yao seemed very confident, "If you grasp the key, it will be fine!"

"But... abandoning those four armies, isn't it good?" Jiang Weiguo hesitated.

"It's just trash that's not enough to accomplish anything, but we're just turning waste into treasure and making full use of it!" Xiao Yao was very disdainful.

The near-annihilation of the 13th Army and the 101st Brigade caught the high-level national army by surprise, because Konev's strength greatly exceeded their expectations. "General" and his subordinates are also "remnants of remnants", and it is very likely that "in the past four months or so, due to famine, chaos, psychological collapse, serious shortage of supplies, demoralization, weak beliefs, negative and pessimistic thoughts, internal conflicts, internal strife, etc. self-destruction and disintegration due to various reasons”, but unexpectedly, Konev’s troops not only did not self-destruct and disintegrate, but were “reborn from the ashes as if reborn”.

The four cities in North Asia are no longer secondary battlefields, but have become the main battlefield.

Xue Yue and Luo Zhuoying sent a telegram to the headquarters of the Nanjing Army, requesting that "Nanjing Army with no less than three divisions and [-] troops" be dispatched to the four North Asian cities for reinforcements.

In this regard, Jiang Weiguo, Yang Jie, Xiao Yao and others, after repeated discussions, decided to stand still and wait and see what happened.

In the early morning of February 2, Konev launched a second partial counterattack.

Vatutin's tank troops were transferred by train from Novokuznetsk to Novosibirsk night and night, and then launched an equally thunderous mechanized surprise counterattack against the 34th Army of the National Army. It was the 34th Army that was hit head-on The core force of Hu Zongnan's faction and the backbone of the first army of Hu Zongnan's faction.

According to common sense, with the lessons learned by the 13th Army, the 1st Army should have taken precautions, but the situation is the opposite. Tang Enbo's department is in the south of the encirclement, and Hu Zongnan is in the southwest of the encirclement. Hu Zongnan believes that the Soviet army launched a counterattack. In the south instead of the southwest, I didn't expect the Soviet army to "fire a shot to change a place", and Vatutin's speed was extremely fast. In less than 300 hours, he turned to more than [-] kilometers, and launched a second counterattack like lightning. Hu Zongnan was caught off guard.

After eight hours of iron and blood fighting, the 1st Army suffered a devastating blow. The 1st Division, 8th Division, and 78th Division under the army were almost wiped out. Army Commander Tao Zhiyue and Deputy Army Commander Fan Hanjie were both injured , Li Zhengxian, the commander of the 1st Division, and Zhao Xiguang, the commander of the 78th Division, were killed in the fierce battle. Only Liu Anqi, the commander of the 8th Division, led more than [-] officers and soldiers to break through.

The 1st Army lost more than [-] soldiers, and the Soviet Army suffered more than [-] casualties, and once again won a beautiful victory.

After learning of the defeat of the 1st Army, Hu Zongnan was heartbroken and wanted to cry without tears. The 1st Army was his original unit that made a fortune. Unexpectedly, it was almost wiped out on the Soviet battlefield, and he had to be heartbroken.

Immediately, Hu Zongnan and Tang Enbo could be described as sympathetic and sympathetic brothers.

In the final analysis, it was expected that Hu Zongnan and Tang Enbo's troops suffered such an ugly defeat, because the confrontation between the two sides was a real "fight between the Chinese and Soviet armies", reflecting the real gap between the Chinese and Soviet armies.

Objectively speaking, the Nanjing Army is actually a "strengthened Chinese army". The 1st Army and the 13th Army are the real level of the Chinese army at this time (in fact, there are still some high levels), and the 1st Army and the 13th Army are all uniform Equipped with medium-sized rifles, heavy weapons such as machine guns and artillery are much inferior to the Soviet army, and tanks are even rarer. However, Vatutin's troops are "real Soviet troops" with excellent quality, well-equipped, strong command, Tanks are in groups, and the battle area is a wilderness and snowy land, which is extremely conducive to the impact of mechanized troops. It is not normal for the 1st and 13th armies to fail completely.

In the original history, the battle of Nanchang broke out between the Chinese and Japanese armies. The Japanese army used more than 100 inferior Japanese-style tanks to launch a mechanized attack on the 20 defenders of the city. It took only seven days to defeat the national army, occupy Nanchang, and fought The area is still the hills in the south of the Yangtze River, and right now, the Soviet army is using three or four hundred T-34 tanks with excellent performance on the wilderness and snow to carry out a carpet attack on the 1st and 13th armies, both of which have only [-] troops. And know.

After the 1st Army was defeated by the Soviet Army, Xue Yue and Luo Zhuoying once again requested that the Nanjing Army be transferred to the four North Asian cities.
