To use a metaphor, the defensive position of the 203rd Division is like a coconut. The first line of defense is the hardest shell, and the inside is the soft pulp inside the coconut. Into the inside of the coconut, in such a case, even though the outer shell remains hard and intact, the inner part of the coconut has collapsed.
"Shrink the defense line! Call the [-]th Regiment and [-]st Regiment to return to the defense! Eliminate the Soviet troops inside the defense line!" Lan Yundong shouted anxiously and ordered, "Ask the deputy for help! We need at least one brigade Reinforcement! Quick!"
At this moment, flaming flying dragons suddenly flashed in the distance in the dark night where the Soviet army was coming, roaring across the sky, and poured on the heads of the Nanjing army like a sea of fire in the clouds. Flesh and blood flew all over the place.
"Soviet artillery fire is coming!" The officers and soldiers of the Nanjing Army roared.
The artillery units of the Soviet army who came rushed into the battle, and the artillery fire roared towards the Nanjing Army with thunderous force. Moreover, the Soviet artillery participated in the battle not only conventional artillery, but also Katyusha rockets that had already been put into mass production.
Compared with conventional artillery, the blasting of Katyusha rockets can be said to penetrate Changhong. Waves of rockets pierced through the clouds and fog like golden snakes dancing wildly, and then fell head-on, covering a large area. Fly.
The shelling of the Soviet army seemed to not care about accidentally injuring its own personnel. It was completely indiscriminate artillery salvos aimed at the melee area of the two sides. A large number of Nanjing troops and a large number of Soviet troops were blasted into meat paste, making the follow-up Soviet troops march everywhere. The meat puree goes straight in.
At that moment just now, Lin Shijie really saw a bunch of meteor-like rockets whistling directly towards him in the air. Without hesitation, he shouted "Be careful, Master" while throwing Lan Yundong's body down. On Lan Yundong, the rest of the guards also threw themselves on Lan Yundong.
In the thunderbolt that was close at hand, Lin Shijie felt that his ears were deafened, and the shock wave almost made him faint. Fortunately, the rockets did not completely rely on the shock wave to kill people. Hot things splashed on him, and when he raised his head, he was shocked to find that his body was splashed with rotten flesh and blood, and more than a dozen guards were killed.
"Master seat!" Lin Shijie hurriedly found Lan Yundong among the dead and the living. Lan Yundong was drenched in blood, and he stood up unsteadily. It didn't go into his belly, only a little came out.
"Medical soldiers! Medical soldiers! Come here quickly! The teacher is injured!" Lin Shijie shouted in panic.
Two medics ran over staggeringly, and were covered in cold sweat after checking: "Master! You must have an operation! The shrapnel has penetrated too deep into your body!"
Lan Yundong was in so much pain that his head was covered in cold sweat, but he sternly rejected the medical staff's suggestion: "Just stab the wound to death! Give me another injection of morphine!"
Lin Shijie had tears in his eyes: "Master! You'd better go for the surgery! Otherwise you might..."
Lan Yundong trembled all over: "At this time...I can't leave...you hold me..."
Lin Shijie burst into tears. He supported Lan Yundong, who could hardly walk, and continued to run in various positions. He saw that the gauze on the teacher's body was quickly soaked with blood, but the teacher kept shouting in a hoarse voice: "Brother! Let’s hold on! Kill the enemy and serve the country! Hold on!…”
Lin Shijie didn't know how long it would take, he was dizzy, he only saw the brothers around him continue to die, the number of Soviet troops pouring in continued to increase, and at the same time, the commander's body became weaker and weaker, until finally I couldn't hold on and fell down.
"Master seat!" Lin Shijie held Lan Yundong's hand in tears like rain, and felt a burst of coldness, which pierced his heart. Yes, people who have lost too much blood cold very quickly.
"The enemy is coming..." Lan Yundong said with difficulty.
Lin Shijie turned his head, he saw a group of Soviet cavalry roaring towards him, and he found that he was the last guard left beside the division commander.
The Soviet cavalry who rushed over noticed Lan Yundong's rank, and instead of shooting, they surrounded him and Lin Shijie, trying to capture the Chinese Army Major General alive.
"Quick..." Lan Yundong commanded Lin Shijie with difficulty, "I don't have the strength to hold the gun anymore...you shoot...kill me..."
Lin Shijie felt a thunder in his head, and he stared blankly at Lan Yundong.
"This is...an order..." Lan Yundong's tone was low but firm as iron.
Lin Shijie couldn't help crying like rain. He knelt down and wailed bitterly: "Master! I swear to protect you with my life! How could I shoot you..."
"Surrender!" The Soviet cavalry happened to have a translator who could speak Chinese, and he shouted loudly, "The Soviet Red Army treats prisoners preferentially!"
Lan Yundong burst out laughing suddenly, his voice was full of vigor like a flashback: "How can our dignified Chinese nobles and descendants of Yan and Huang surrender to you barbarians like pigs and dogs?" He shouted loudly, "Fengtian Kill the thief! Shoot!"
Lin Shijie knew that the "shoot" that the division commander said was the last order given to him, so he picked up the submachine gun without hesitation, aimed at the division commander's chest and pulled the trigger.
Under the dumbfoundedness of the Soviet army, Lin Shijie immediately turned the gun and pulled the trigger at his own head, and the body fell heavily on Lan Yundong's body.
Just three hours after the Battle of Kecheng broke out, the 203rd Division of the Nanjing Army was defeated, and nearly 2 people died in the whole division.
"What should we do? What should we do?" In the headquarters of the Nanjing Army in Beiping, Jiang Weiguo was heartbroken and anxious.
Chapter 556 Who will win the game (1)
"Don't worry, we haven't lost yet!" Yang Jie put his heavy hand on Jiang Weiguo's shoulder, which made Jiang Weiguo feel a great sense of peace of mind.
On the entire Soviet battlefield, the most peculiar and bizarre situation is Baku. The largest oil field in the Soviet Union has been divided into three countries. The north is controlled by the Soviet army, the southwest is controlled by the German army, and the southeast is controlled by the German army. The Nanjing Army is in control, and the German Army and the Nanjing Army are naturally hardcore. The relationship between the two armies and the Soviet Army is inseparable. In Baku, the German, Nanjing and Soviet troops who were close at hand "lived in peace."
After that agreement was signed, a barbed wire fence divided the Baku oil field into two in the east-west direction. This barbed wire fence was a temporary military demarcation line, with the Soviet army on the north and the German and Nanjing troops on the south.
On the east side of the barbed wire fence, armed Soviet troops were patrolling the north side of the barbed wire fence, while the Nanjing Army also armed with live ammunition was patrolling the south side of the barbed wire fence.
There is no barbed wire between the areas controlled by the Chinese and German troops, and personnel from both sides can come and go freely. The Nanjing Army and the German Army on patrol greeted each other with a smile after meeting (they did not give each other cigarettes, and smoking is strictly prohibited in the local area), while the Soviet Army and the German Army on patrol After the Nanjing Army or the German Army met, they were all expressionless.
In Baku, the closest distance between the Nanjing Army or the German Army and the Soviet Army was less than one meter, but because of the oil everywhere, they kept the well water and the river water.
On both sides of the military demarcation line, hundreds of cannons from both sides are aiming at each other proudly. If there is any disturbance, they will open fire at any time.
The Nanjing Army's garrison in Baku is the 180th Division, with more than [-] people in the division.
According to common sense, the [-]th Division is stationed in Baku to maintain the control area of "a quarter of Baku" held by the Nanjing Army's opponents and to deter the Soviet army, but Yang Jie has already launched the [-]th Division The "idea".
Yang Jie believes that the [-]th Division should not only be an "oil field guard team", but should be able to play a more adequate role in this war, because the division not only goes deep into the enemy's rear, but also is located very cleverly, just across the Caspian Sea , As for the Caspian Sea, it is a piece of water with a very "fussy" geographical location, stuck between the two continents of Asia and Europe.
Relying on the advantages of water conservancy, the [-]th Division has the advantage of being close to the water, and has a great possibility to become the first army of the Nanjing Army to reach Europe (Baku is located in the Transcaucasus and belongs to Asia. The Nanjing Army has not yet entered the Soviet Union. European territories).
Therefore, the [-]th Division, according to Yang Jie's instructions, deliberately and secretly carried out combat preparations in this area a long time ago.
On the night of February 2, Yang Jie contacted Luo Qi, the commander of the 28th Division, by telegram.
Yang Jie: "Mr. Luo, how is your stay in Baku?"
Roach: "Glorious and painful!"
Yang Jie: "Glory, I understand, pain, why? Could it be that the pain is caused by living in fear of dying with the Soviet army at any time?"
Roach: "No, it's because you can't smoke!"
Yang Jie couldn't help laughing: "The reason why I sent you there is to get rid of your smoking addiction and cure your bronchitis (Roach had a relatively serious bronchitis, and he died of bronchitis in the original history), but you Now you can smoke!"
Roach was overjoyed: "Is there a mission?"
Yang Jie said in a heavy tone: "The big counterattack launched by the Soviet army made us very passive and at a disadvantage everywhere. We lost our troops and lost our generals! In order to fight back, we need to carry out a certain blow to the Soviet army!"
Luo Qi solemnly said: "The [-]th Division is on standby at any time!"
Yang Jie: "Okay.
Only your [-]th Division is capable of this task, because your location is ingenious, on the Caspian Sea, and we have the 'dominance' of the Caspian Sea.
To the south of the Caspian Sea is Iran, to the east and north is Central Asia, to the west is the Russian region of the Soviet Union, and even the rear of Stalingrad is on the Caspian Sea.
you know what I mean!"
Roach: "I understand!"
Yang Jie paused: "You know that our capital is limited, and this war has to use some special or even extreme means.
For example, deliberately sacrificing one division in order to save five divisions is unacceptable, but it is the only option.
Sometimes, we have to abandon the car to protect the handsome man, and the strong man cuts off his wrist!"
Roach was silent for a while, and then his tone was as firm as iron: "The responsibility is, it is incumbent!"
Yang Jie: "Okay, you can contact Commander Ouyang immediately!"
The "Commander Ouyang" mentioned by Yang Jie is Ouyang Sihai. In fact, Ouyang Sihai is not the commander, but he is nicknamed the "Commander of the Caspian Sea Fleet". The Chinese Navy has not actually established a "Caspian Sea Fleet". The strength here is so weak that it can be ignored, so Ouyang Sihai used only a few dozen torpedo boats to "dominate" the Caspian Sea.
Previously, in order to raid the Caspian Sea Fleet of the Soviet Army, the Chinese Navy did not dispatch many torpedo boats. After the raid was successful, it immediately increased the number of torpedo boats in the Caspian Sea.
At this time, the Chinese navy had more than 80 torpedo boats in the Caspian Sea, which were organized into two torpedo boat wings (each wing had two or three brigades under its jurisdiction), and were unified under the command of Ouyang Sihai, so that Ouyang Sihai got the title of "Commander of the Caspian Sea Fleet". Ridiculous title.
However, Ouyang Sihai still has a lot of power. He can not only mobilize more than 80 torpedo boats of the Chinese Navy in the Caspian Sea, but also mobilize two or three hundred Iranian civilian ships in the Caspian Sea (Iran basically has no military power in the Caspian Sea) .
After the Nanjing Army raided Baku and succeeded, Ouyang Sihai and his "Caspian Sea Fleet" mainly carried out two things, one was to guard and patrol, and the other was to escort Iranian civilian ships transporting oil (China has no ships in the Caspian Sea, and it is too late to build a shipyard , so the ships transporting oil all come from Iran, and Iran can also get a share of it), right now, Ouyang Sihai and his "Caspian Sea Fleet" have a new mission.
Ouyang Sihai, Luo Qi, commander of the 2th Division, Fang Tian, deputy commander of the [-]th Division, Lu Xinrong, chief of staff and commander of the [-]th Brigade, and the independent [-]th Brigade of the Nanjing Army were on a ship near the port of Baku flying both the Iranian and Chinese flags. Wang Yecheng, head of the [-] self-propelled heavy artillery regiment, held an urgent and brief meeting.
Due to time constraints, the participants were all soldiers, so everyone's conversations went straight to the point.
"Commander Ouyang, how many ships do you have?" Roach asked Ouyang Sihai.
"85 torpedo boats and 270 seven civilian ships!" Ouyang Sihai replied, "The gross tonnage of those Iranian civilian ships exceeds 15 tons!"
"How many civilian ships can you transfer within three hours?" Roach asked.
Ouyang Sihai thought for a while: "More than 100 ships, [-] to [-] tons!"
"Okay!" Roach nodded, "All the civilian ships you can transfer will be transferred to the port of Baku within three hours.
More than 100 ships, 3 people and a self-propelled heavy artillery regiment should be no problem!"
"3 people?" Ouyang Sihai asked in surprise, "Are all your teachers going to leave?"
Fang Tian smiled: "There are more than 3 people in our division, in fact there are about [-] people. During the period of stationing in Baku, our division has been increasing troops. This is the order of Director Yang.
3 or 4, anyway, the Soviets can't tell the difference, in fact, the Soviet army on the other side doesn't care how many people we have!"
Ouyang Sihai nodded: "I see.
It seems that you have long been an important pawn to Director Yang!"
"Yes!" Roach nodded, "Commander Ouyang, how long will it take from Baku to the northernmost tip of the Caspian Sea?"
Ouyang Sihai thought for a while, and replied: "The journey is about 24 kilometers, and the fleet can sail at a speed of about [-] knots. It takes almost a day and a night, that is, [-] hours!"
"Very good!" Roach took a deep breath, "There is no time to wait, let's go! Try to hide as much as possible, so as not to alarm the Soviets on the opposite side.
In addition, the northern part of the Caspian Sea has been snowing now, right? "
Lu Xinrong nodded: "Well, it has been snowing.
The Soviet planes cannot be dispatched!"
"That's good!" Roach breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, in the Nanjing Army Headquarters, Jiang Weiguo was discussing the latest battle situation with high-level decision makers.
Bai Chongxi said: "Obviously, Fu Zuoyi fell for Zhukov's tricks of diverting the tiger away from the mountain and attacking the west. Of course, if it were me, I would be confused too. The authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear! I really didn't expect that the old man would Using a trick that doesn't fit their style like a surrender.
However, the situation was already very clear. The real purpose of the Soviet Army was not to capture Champion City, nor to wipe out the No. 70 Seventh Division, but to wipe out the three divisions of Li Yutang's department.
Fu Zuoyi concentrated a large number of troops in Champion City, but it was empty, allowing the Soviet army to take advantage of the situation.
The top priority is to rescue Sun Tongxuan's three divisions, the 203rd Division has been defeated, the 204th Division and the 205th Division have also been defeated, Sun Tongxuan's entire division is destined to be wiped out!"
"One division of our army (Nanjing Army) is actually equal to one army, and three divisions are equal to one group army!" Liu Fei was worried. Although the northwestern part of Kazakhstan did not directly attack westward, it restrained a large number of Soviet troops, forcing the Soviet army to gather a main force in the Orenburg area (Orenburg is located on the Ural River, and the Ural River and the Ural Mountains are two parts of Asia and Europe. Therefore, if the Soviet army loses Orenburg, the Nanjing army will directly cross the Ural River and enter Eastern Europe).
