Two representatives of the Soviet army were immediately sent to Qiu Qingquan's headquarters.
Qiu Qingquan felt absurd, how could the Soviets play with such a method with Chinese characteristics of sending envoys before the war?Qiu Qingquan didn't know at this time that the two representatives of the Soviet army were sent by Cui Kefu. As a "China hand" in the Soviet army, Cui Kefu was already familiar with this.
"General, can we talk about it alone!" The Soviet lieutenant colonel was very calm.
Qiu Qingquan and Liao Yaoxiang looked at each other, both of them wanted to know what the hell the Soviet army was doing, so they ordered the other officers in the headquarters to go out.
The lieutenant colonel of the Soviet Army unhurriedly opened a large suitcase he was carrying, which contained brand new dollars and gold bars.
"General!" The Soviet lieutenant colonel seemed confident, "We want to make a deal with you, here is 100 million US dollars and [-] gold bars!"
Qiu Qingquan and Liao Yaoxiang were shocked at first, then furious, and finally laughed out of anger: "What deal?"
The lieutenant colonel of the Soviet Army talked eloquently: "You have seen that our strength is far superior to yours. After a fight, you will definitely be wiped out. In fact, we might as well tell you that our goal is the 77th Division, not your 74th Division." Division, you have discovered that we do not surround you on all sides. Next, we and you can "exchange fire for a while" and then you lead your troops to withdraw to Omsk. In this way, your 74th Division will not give the 77th Teacher compensation, but also get our generous rewards!"
Liao Yaoxiang held back his anger: "Which general on your side proposed this deal?"
The Soviet lieutenant colonel replied: "It is Comrade Cuikov, the commander of our Ninth Army!"
Qiu Qingquan couldn't bear it anymore, he drew his gun suddenly, and killed the Soviet lieutenant colonel with one shot before he recovered, blood splashed the face of the Soviet translator officer next to him.
The Soviet translator looked at Qiu Qingquan in horror.
"Fuck me!" Qiu Qingquan was furious, "This is my reply to that bastard Cui Kefu! Damn it! Does Cui Kefu think I'm a bastard like Sun Yuanliang?"
"Keep the money!" Liao Yaoxiang was not polite, "It's good to boost morale and reward the troops!"
The Soviet translator carried the body of the Soviet lieutenant colonel on his back, and left the headquarters of the 74th Division in a daze, and the fierce battle officially kicked off.
Chapter 540 Big Avalanche (20)
When the Second Battle of Chengbei (North of Champion City) broke out, Fang Dazeng, a famous photographer and field reporter of "China Heroes", was in Champion City. On the battlefield, full of fiery passion, trembling with excitement, and moved to tears, he wanted to report the second city north campaign in detail and comprehensively to the people in the rear, but after picking up pen and ink, he couldn't write. After uttering a word, after a while, he threw away the pen, covered his face and stamped his feet: "How can I write it? Such a huge and complicated battle, 77 million words can't be written in every detail! No language can describe this battle. It’s pale and empty!” He gave up writing reports and concentrated on taking pictures, and then, the reports on the Second Chengbei Battle published by the “China Heroes Daily” were all photos and a few sentences of photo explanations.
"Everything is unspoken!" This is the headline of the "China Heroes" report on the second Chengbei battle.
"In the forest fire, the enemy and the enemy are fighting madly!"
"The enemy and our artillery units launched a dazzling artillery battle!"
"The enemy and our armored forces engage in a furnace-like battle of steel!"
"Officers Huang and Wang personally supervised the battle! Master Zhong and Master Qiu charged in person!"
"Majestic mountains and rivers! The warriors of our army fought a bloody mill-like death battle with the Soviet tank group and cavalry group!"...
The tactics used by the Nanjing Army to meet the Soviet Army were "mobile warfare and positional warfare complement each other." Both the 77th Division and the 74th Division were highly mechanized units. The 77th Division was called an armored division, and the 74th Division was called an armored infantry division. Obviously , These two divisions cannot make full use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses in positional warfare. Together with these two divisions, the 27th Army of the 20th Army (the army is relatively well organized, with about 60 troops at this time), and the 70th Army. Army and the defeated troops of the 27th Army, the whole army is about [-], the Nanjing Army is about [-], and the officers and soldiers from the [-]th Army are about [-].
黄维和王耀武把第60、第70军的溃兵败兵打散补入第77、第74师里，使用这两个师与苏军展开机动战，同时把第20军部署在战壕防线上展开阵地战。
"Raise the battle flag!" Zhong Song and Qiu Qingquan shouted together.
The flag guards of the 77th Division and the 74th Division held up the battle flags of the headquarters together. One side was "invincible" and the other side was "tiger".
Flying the battle flag, on the tens of kilometers deep front, the sound of killing was loud, and the Chinese soldiers rushed towards the avalanche of the Soviet army like a mountain torrent and tsunami.
On the battlefield where the black smoke was filled with fog due to the forest fire, it was difficult for the Soviet bombers and attack planes to drop bombs accurately, and the artillery units of both sides were also blocked by the black smoke. Both sides have their own advantages. The Soviet army greatly exceeds the Chinese army in the number of tanks, armored vehicles, cavalry, and infantry. However, the Japanese-made self-propelled artillery of the Nanjing Army can be activated like an armored force. Together with its own tanks, cavalry, and infantry Charge, so as to be able to provide artillery assistance to one's own troops continuously and nearby.
"This is a battle for which God will hold his breath!" A German military adviser said deeply in shock.
Fu Zuoyi and Wei Lihuang stood together on the tallest building in Champion City. The two generals held up binoculars and looked at the distant battlefield in the north of the city for a long time. Their expressions were as firm as steel.
"Junru (Wei Lihuang)..." Fu Zuoyi asked softly, "What did you see?"
"Blood!" Wei Lihuang sighed, "Blood everywhere!"
"What mood are you in now?" Fu Zuoyi sighed.
"Proud!" Wei Lihuang's eyes were moist, "Proud of our country having such a powerful army! Proud of having so many hot-blooded men in Huanghuang China! Proud of being able to command such a powerful army of tigers in my life!"
"Yes! Proud!" Fu Zuoyi also burst into tears, "We should not feel sad, we should be proud! Since entering the war, the British, French, Americans and Japanese have all ridiculed our Chinese army, thinking that we are just Following the Germans to take advantage of loopholes and pick up loopholes, now, we want to tell them through actual combat that our Chinese army is very strong!"
Wei Lihuang nodded: "Yes! Exactly like this!"
Fu Zuoyi thought for a while: "Junru, according to your plan, the Yellow Russian army has already started, right?"
Wei Lihuang nodded heavily: "No problem!"
Fu Zuoyi is good at defensive operations, while Wei Lihuang is good at offensive operations, and the two complement each other.
The Battle of Champion City was fixed as a defensive battle from the very beginning, but Wei Lihuang still wanted to play an offensive nature. He believed that it was impossible to be passively beaten, and must take the initiative. The Soviet army's Zhukov and Konev troops flanked Champion City , the Nanjing Army can’t always fight on two fronts and be attacked by the enemy. It must first break one of the two armies of the Soviet Army, and Konev’s strength is inferior to Zhukov’s. If Konev is defeated, the Nanjing Army will be able to deal with Zhukov wholeheartedly. Otherwise, Konev's department will contain the Nanjing Army behind the Nanjing Army, and the Nanjing Army will be exhausted and exhausted.
To this end, Wei Lihuang formulated a careful "counterattack" combat plan.
According to common sense, Zhukov's department is stronger than Konev's department, and the Nanjing Army should use more tanks to deal with Zhukov, but Wei Lihuang boldly did the opposite and used more tanks to deal with Konev. Husband, if you defeat Konev's department, there will be a killer in the future.
On the eastern front of the battlefield in the north of the city, fire trees and silver blossoms, steel smashed, the most elite 77th Brigade of the Nanjing Army and the 15th Army Vatukin Division of the Konev Division of the Soviet Army launched a thunderous tank battle.
The 77th Brigade is a complete armored brigade. The brigade has more than 250 tanks, half of which are No. 15 and half of No. 19 (it is worth mentioning that due to the long-term ice and snow in the Soviet Union, tanks need to be painted with white paint for camouflage, so they were called The No. 15 tank named "Black Panther" by the Germans was renamed "Snow Leopard" by the Nanjing Army, and the No. 20 tank that was not named by the Germans was named "Snow Wolf" by the Nanjing Army). The 202th Tank Brigade of the 19th Army of the Soviet Army (the 12th Army of the Soviet Army has the 18th Infantry Army, the 400nd Airborne Brigade, the 34th Tank Brigade, the [-]th Aviation Regiment, and the [-]th Artillery Regiment). Before the siege of the four cities, there was a very misnamed tank force, only dozens of old-fashioned tanks, but because of the secret blood transfusion, and Konev and Vatutin have realized through actual combat that "the tanks must be concentrated. The brigade was carefully built by Konev and Vatutin into a real tank brigade, with more than [-] tanks of various types, most of which are new T-[-] tanks.
In the previous two breakout counterattacks, the brigade played the role of a pioneer, invincible and invincible. The 27th Army of the National Army was completely defeated by the brigade. At this time, it encountered the 77th Armored Brigade of the Nanjing Army. The son ushered in the end.
Amidst the mechanical roar of the wind and thunder, the steel beasts on both sides collided like two trains, bursting out with earth-shattering energy.
The roar of the tank engine, the speeding of the tank tracks, the roar of the shell ejection, the loud noise of the shell explosion...In an instant, a majestic and high-spirited battle song of iron armor was played in the wilderness and snow. The war beast rushed towards each other angrily in the flying sand and rocks of the ice fog, and shot out waves of lightning-like flying fire meteors. On the snow, thunderbolts flashed and flames danced wildly. The tank groups of both sides were submerged in the lightning and thunder.
In the black smoke, the snow leopards were still running fast and continued to charge under the cover of the snow wolves, while the t-34s dropped their helmets and armor one after another. The shells smashed their heads and brains like hammers and spears. Most of the snow leopards hit by tank shells were safe and sound. The shells either bounced off the armor, or blasted a crater or a ring of cracks on the armor. Almost none of them were damaged. The armored soldiers were stunned and injured, but the tanks were basically intact, and the snow wolves, whose defense was weaker than the snow leopards, also suffered very little loss, because the snow wolves were all behind the snow leopards; In the midst of thunder and lightning, people were turned on their backs. Some T-34s were blown to pieces like a person whose hood had been lifted by a bullet. The entire tank was splattered with sparks and billowing with thick smoke, and then paralyzed and motionless. All the tank soldiers died. In the tank, some t-34s were directly penetrated by snow leopard shells. The shells exploded inside the cabin, and the interior of the cabin became a slaughterhouse full of flesh and blood. Some t-34s were completely penetrated by snow leopard shells. The tank was smashed to pieces in the big explosion like a gunpowder barrel. The T-34 in the battle area fell apart like a sand sculpture model washed by sea water, and it was burning. All kinds of fragmented tank parts, metal fragments, and human flesh were flying in midair. and scattered all over the place,
Crushing over the wreckage of T-34 and the corpses of Soviet tank soldiers, the snow leopards galloped in the flames and smoke.
Vatutin never expected that he would become the key target of the armored group of the Nanjing Army. He was extremely shocked. He believed that the threat to the Nanjing Army from the west was much greater than that from the east, and the armored group of the Nanjing Army should deal with it. Rokossovsky, but the Nanjing Army did not play cards according to common sense, which made him stunned.
His own tanks were killed by enemy tanks like chopping melons and vegetables, which made Vatutin at a loss. He had no way to retreat at this time. If he ordered to retreat, the Soviet tanks with the weakest armor exposed would be killed. lose faster.
"Why did this happen?" Vatutin was in agony.
It was Xu Yuwei, deputy commander of the 77th brigade who killed Vatutin.
After the battle broke out, Xu Yuwei, like the majority of Nanjing Army officers, took the lead and charged bravely, driving his snow leopard with 37 black rings on the barrel (according to German military practice, how many enemy tanks a tank destroys depends on How many rings are brushed on the barrel), take the lead and go on a rampage.
In the fierce melee, Xu Yuwei discovered that a Soviet kv-1 heavy tank was turning around and evacuating.
Xu Yuwei immediately felt that this was very unusual, because the Soviet army strictly did not allow escapes. Those who escaped were either shot dead on the spot by the supervising team or severely punished afterwards. What is even more strange is that the defensive power of the kv-1 exceeds that of the t-34 (kv-1 Its firepower and maneuverability are not as good as the t-34), it should fight bravely in this battle, how could it turn around and run away?Xu Yuwei immediately judged that the kv-1 was a big fish.
"Follow it!" Xu Yuwei ordered.
Like a leopard, the snow leopard chased the 43.5-ton kv-1, which was like an elephant.
Xu Yuwei commanded the tank carefully and cautiously. He specially kept his tank and the opponent at a certain distance, because he knew very well that the KV-1 armor was so thick that the snow leopard could not penetrate it, so he had to hit the opponent's track, which was positioned low. If one side wants to hit the opponent's track, it has to keep the distance, and the angle of the tank gun is enough. Although this will cause the opponent to escape, too far distance will also lead to a decrease in shooting accuracy, which will test the skill of the tank gunner even more. is the only way to destroy it.
Facts have proved that Xu Yuwei commanded very well, and the tank gunner did not disappoint him. At a distance of more than 500 meters, a single shot hit the right rear track of the kv-1, blowing up the track and road wheels in an instant. Flying, kv-1 suddenly paralyzed in place.
Xu Yuwei guessed that there was a senior Soviet officer in that kv-1, and he really wanted to capture it alive, but at the same time, he found four or five Soviet tanks nearby. Worried that the prey would take the opportunity to escape, he had to order the gunner to make another shot, which hit the kv-1 The tank body of -[-] did not penetrate, but the tank was shaken by the explosion.
Xu Yuwei reckoned that if the senior Soviet officers inside were not killed by the shock, they would have fainted from the shock.
After dealing with the few Soviet tanks that came over, Xu Yuwei calmly drove the Snow Leopard to the side of the motionless KV-1 tank, and dragged out six people from inside, all of whom were bleeding from all orifices. Xu Yuwei was overjoyed when he saw a 40-year-old Soviet officer, who he recognized as General Nikolai Fedorovich Vatutin, commander of the 15th Army of the Soviet Army.
Vatutin was originally a lieutenant general, but he was promoted to general by Stalin a few days ago because he fought well in the breakout and counterattack a while ago, and in consideration of the effect of boosting morale.
"Damn it! I won the jackpot!" Xu Yuwei was elated, and he immediately ordered, "Drag the corpse into the tank quickly, no, cut off the head first!"
The armored soldiers took up bayonets and cut off the head of the unlucky Vatutin. Xu Yuwei hung Vatutin's head high on the end of the tank barrel, and used the blood from Vatutin's body to cover the snow leopard's frontal armor. In Russian, write "Vatutin is dead" in bold and eye-catching words.
"Let's go!" Xu Yuwei waved his hands vigorously.
After returning to the battlefield, the Snow Leopard tank with Vatutin's head on its barrel was invincible and invincible. The Soviet army was all stunned and demoralized.
After an hour of fierce fighting, the 19th Tank Brigade of the Soviet Army was completely wiped out by the 77th Armored Brigade of the Nanjing Army. More than 350 Soviet tanks were destroyed, and the Nanjing Army lost more than 90 tanks. -34 wreckage, making this place known as "t-34's cemetery".
After defeating the Soviet tank unit, more than 77 officers and soldiers of the [-]th Brigade took advantage of the situation to chase and kill them. They headed eastward and abruptly defeated the two Soviet infantry divisions they encountered along the way. The huge gap, unstoppable and direct to Novosibirsk in the distance.
After learning that Vatutin's troops were defeated and Vatutin himself was killed, Konev regretted and was deeply at a loss. He didn't understand that Zhukov's pressure on the Nanjing Army was at least three times that of his own. And the focus of the counterattack is on Zhukov, but turning back and focusing on attacking himself is simply unimaginable.
However, Konev quickly realized that the Nanjing Army was "defeating one by one", defeating the weaker self first, and then launching a decisive battle with Zhukov.
After pondering for a while, Konev sent Zhukov a telegram:
"Comrade Zhukov, I can tell you the latest enemy situation with certainty. The Chinese army has used a large number of tanks to counterattack on the east road, trying to defeat me first, eliminate future troubles, and then deal with you with all its strength.
I will try my best to contain the tank troops of the Chinese army and assist you to win the final victory.
Please concentrate on taking advantage of this great opportunity to launch a full-scale attack and break through the Chinese army's defense line in one fell swoop.
Congratulations and best wishes to comrades!"
After sending this telegram, Konev immediately ordered the communications officers around him with clear thinking: "Order the troops that have already been dispatched. If they can return to Novosibirsk, they will return immediately. If they cannot return, they can continue to fight on their own. Remember, there is no need to fight with China. When the army is fighting head-on, it only needs to harass them, the enemy advances and retreats, the enemy retreats and advances, restrain them, so that they cannot let go!"
Konev's order is very correct. He knows that the strength of his troops is hard-won and cannot be easily consumed. They should be used with treasure and play the greatest role in this "big avalanche" battle.
Since the Chinese army launched a counterattack, the Soviet army retreated back to the four cities in North Asia and fought the most beneficial city defense battle for the Soviet army. In this way, it could not only preserve its strength, but also contain a large number of Chinese troops and indirectly support Zhukov.
In fact, Konev had just received a report from Cuikov that Song Xilian's troops were attacking from Anbei to the west, threatening Krasnoyarsk, the easternmost of the four cities in North Asia, and the Soviet army in the four cities in North Asia was also trapped. In a tight situation, in this case, it is naturally more urgent to preserve strength.
On the wild snowfields in the west of Novosibirsk, the tank units of the Nanjing Army rolled forward, invincible, and a large number of Soviet troops who either maintained their integrity or had been defeated and dispersed fled to Novosibirsk in a swarm.
In the evening, on an unnamed wasteland more than 70 kilometers due west of Novosibirsk, the 20th Infantry Division of the 34th Army of the Soviet Army, which was fighting against the Nanjing Army, was also repulsed. The division commander, Colonel Cheremisov, was hunted down during the evacuation process. The Nanjing army tank that went up broke his right leg with a machine gun bullet, and was captured before he could escape.
After receiving the report, Hu Lian and Liu Fengling, who were in charge of the battle, were overjoyed: "Damn it! I was worried that there would be no high-level prisoners! Ancestors bless you! This is here!"
Cheremisov was quickly sent to Hu Lian and Liu Fengling.
Liu Fengling said to Cheremisov through an interpreter: "Mr. Colonel, you have fallen into our hands and become our prisoner. According to your leader Stalin, the Soviet Red Army has no prisoners, only traitors. Therefore, you are now a prisoner." Became a traitor to the Soviet Red Army.
We hope you can cooperate with us, as long as you promise, we will give you a generous reward!"
Cheremisov, with fire-breathing eyes, looked at Liu Fengling viciously, sneered contemptuously, and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm: "I will never surrender to you evil Chinese invaders! The glorious Soviet Red Army is not Will surrender! Dream your dreams!"
Liu Fengling looked helplessly at Chen Rui, the director of the Secret Service of the 77th Division and a senior agent of the Maritime Bureau.
Chen Rui smiled: "Leave this to us!" He waved his hand, and a team of Haitong agents stepped forward, opening wooden boxes one by one like a doctor about to perform surgery. Instruments of torture not inferior to surgical instruments.
Chen Rui picked up something that looked like a vice, moved it a few times in his hand, and then looked at Hu Lian and Liu Fengling: "Bosses, you should go out! This way, we can work with peace of mind, and you don't need to see Some nauseating scenes!"
Hu Lian and Liu Fengling understood, walked out of the tent where they were, and they lit cigarettes.
Cheremisov's slogan came from the tent: "Long live the Soviet Union! The Soviet Union must win! Long live Stalin! Ah..." His slogan suddenly turned into a heart-piercing scream.
