Chapter 660 - Another way needs to be found
"This 153rd Ural Infantry Division is very desperate!" Fu Yucheng said in a deep voice, "You must be careful against the opponent, don't take it lightly!" ”
"No matter how much you can fight, you will still be defeated by our men! This Asia on the eastern side of the Ural Mountains is our territory in China. The gang got nothing but more than 2,000 corpses, and we drove them back to Europe. Liang Zhongping, a staff officer of the military department next to him, said with a grin.
"It can't be said that in this encounter, our losses are also very large, more than 1,000 casualties, which has never been seen before. We are now few people, and if everyone in the Soviet and Russian armies were so desperate, it would be very difficult for us to defend. Fu Yucheng shook his head and said worriedly.
In the three-hour battle in the morning, there were only more than 1,000 casualties, which is not much, but compared with the results, the casualty rate of almost 1 to 2 is rare since the founding of the vanguard army. Whether it was fighting devils, or even in the occupation of the Urals and Siberia, the losses of the vanguard army were surprisingly small.
Relying on the sharp artillery of the vanguard army and the air supremacy firmly controlled, a burst of bombardment passed, and the enemy was left with half a breath. Then the infantry pressed to clean up the mess and win the victory, it was as simple as that, and it was purely crushed directly by relying on strong strength.
However, in the Soviet and Russian raids in the early hours of this morning, in a small-scale battle, artillery fire could not be supported at all, not to mention air superiority, if it were not for the soldiers of the vanguard army, who were trained in street fighting, mountain warfare, and night fighting, and quickly reacted and used the superiority of machine guns to suppress the enemy, I am afraid that last night would not have been a problem of big losses, and it is very likely that the second line of defense would have been lost.
According to the confessions of more than 100 captured prisoners, the 153rd Ural Infantry Division of Soviet Russia had a surprise attack of one regiment, while more troops were waiting for the first line of defense, ready to flank the front and rear.
And the soldiers of the 153rd Division shouted that the fanatical grenades of Ulla exploded in the last series, which also made the soldiers of the vanguard army, who had won consecutive battles, restrain their proud thoughts.
This is a force to be reckoned with.
However, in the sequence of the Soviet army, there were not many such teams.
Even Meng Xiang of the puppet army did not know that the 153rd Ural Infantry Division, without his arrival, would have fought valiantly in Belarus and Smolensk, and thus received the honorary title of the 3rd Guards Division soon after. However, this did not prevent him from once again emphasizing the instructions in the army not to be arrogant after hearing the news.
When someone took the performance of the Soviet Russians on the Western Front a little unimpressed, Meng Xiang said solemnly:
"Don't look at the great rout of the Russians on the Western Front and think that the Russians are nothing more than that. In fact, there were many reasons for the defeat of the Russians. First of all, the Germans were very prepared and took Soviet Russia by surprise. The convenient transportation in Europe made it possible for the Germans to do a good job of logistics on any front. And we need to cross the steppe, and even far away we need to cross the Great Siberian Wilderness. Many places can only rely on airborne. This has also led to a shortage of our troops and logistics.
The people of the three countries of the Bō Sea, Bō Lan and Ukraine were originally resistant to the Russians, and even those ethnic minorities directly turned their guns against the Russian soldiers, which we have received from the local people outside Méng, and we have deeply experienced this, but in the Urals and other regions where the Russians have been operating for many years, we will not get much help from the minority forces. The topography of the Great Plains of Europe on the Western Front is also very different from the topography of the mountains around the Urals, and we need to be extra careful because we cannot occupy the geographical advantages and people.
There were not many opportunities for the armies of Soviet Russia and Europe to train their troops, and it was popular to clean up in the army, and almost all the experienced officers were almost lost. In addition to those who were shot, a large part of them were sent directly to Siberia to cut down trees. Therefore, the Soviet and Russian troops on the Western Front may flee and surrender in their entirety, but in some of our cities and towns in Siberia, even civilians spontaneously organized themselves to confront us.
For hundreds of years, Siberia has been exiled to robbers, hooligans, murderers, and other restless people, and the people are fierce, and they need to be dealt with with with carefully, and if you are not careful, countless guerrillas may pop up everywhere.
This is not counting the regular armies of the Far East and Transbaikal Military Districts.
Because of the threat of the Kwantung Army, the combat effectiveness of the Far Eastern Army, which was always ready for war, was maintained, and even at the time of the Great Liquidation, the Far Eastern and Transbaikal Military Districts still defeated people in Manchuria. In the battle of Waiméng, although the Soviet and Russian troops were in great distress, they still held out to the end. When we were airborne, we were met with stubborn resistance almost everywhere.
I think that the soldiers forged by the cold wind of Siberia should be a little different from those old soldiers in Europe, right? And our enemies are them!
With advanced weapons and an effective organizational plan, we were able to easily achieve a few victories at the beginning. But the cannon is not omnipotent, in some cases that occupy the right time and place, directly flatten the gap between the two sides, we need to be cautious and cautious! ”
With the mechanized troops built from the Red Guard base, Meng Xiang dared to challenge any strong army on the plain, even if all the Soviet Russian troops east of the Ural Mountains came together, they could not stop the vanguard army's chariot from advancing. But in the mountains and cities, coupled with night fighting, the role of heavy equipment was greatly diminished. Otherwise, there would have been several large-scale city defense battles in Soviet Russia, and there would have been no 38th parallel on the Korean Peninsula after World War II.
The experience of later history made Meng Xiang always cautious in his plan in arranging siege battles. So until now, only half of the cities on the Siberian plain have been occupied.
Of course, this is also due to the lack of manpower, and even the overall deployment under the insufficient logistics supply capacity of the sub-bases. A sub-base can't support a large-scale sustained battle, and it takes time to build. And the transport planes that are constantly buzzing in the air every day are also accumulating troops.
Therefore, in order to win the first opportunity, those important cities must be occupied first no matter what, leaving some unnecessary cities, which can also allow the Soviet Russians to take care of one thing and lose the other, under the threat of the vanguard army's airborne, they need to defend everywhere, and their own forces will be torn to pieces.
By the time the Soviet Union was on the border, the strength of the vanguard army had reached nearly 300,000, and the Soviet and Russian sides had only made up about the same size. This was already the limit of the Russians at this time, and the army of the vanguard army was still growing.
……
"The strength of the Chinese people is still increasing, but we can only passively defend, so the long-term attrition of fighting on two fronts at the same time is very unfavorable to us." General Zhukov, who had just been promoted to chief of the General Staff of Soviet Russia, had a thorough understanding of the Far East, and although he was in Moscow, the showdown in the Far East also made him very concerned.
Without Stalin's nod, the defense committee in Moscow could not come up with an effective way to stop the German tanks. Again, without Stalin's nod, Zhukov, who was still busy on the Western Front just now, would not have openly expressed more opinions on the war on the Eastern Front.
The intricacies of the army on the Western Front were not something that Zhukov, a rapidly rising general, could grasp at once, and the former General Staff Marshal Shabōshnikov had just been appointed Chief of the General Staff of the Western Front by Stalin to deal with the troubles in the west. And Zhukov, who had risen rapidly from the victory in the Far East, concentrated on dealing with the problems of the Eastern Front.
"Both fronts in the east and west are difficult to solve in a short period of time!" Temoshengo said lightly. As in the original history, as soon as the Soviet-German war broke out, Soviet Russia established a high command on the 17th, and Timoshenko became the supreme commander. But without Stalin, Timoshenko's orders could only be a piece of waste paper.
The fact that any major military action requires a nod from Stalin, whose military level is limited to the praise of poetry, undoubtedly delays the time to make decisions and give orders, and makes the supreme chain of command ineffective. Under such circumstances, the commanders at all levels at the front were still waiting for the orders of their superiors to be issued in the face of the Germans' tank muzzles, and it was not surprising that they were undefeated.
An old fox like Temusingo, who has gone through several actions, will not openly express his dissatisfaction even if he has any grievances. As the nominal supreme commander, it's good to be able to make suggestions.
Zhukov frowned slightly, what Timoshenko said was very true, whether it is the east and the west, it is a collision of great powers, just like the period of World War I, and it will not be calmed down for three or five years. The Germans were planning to unify Europe, and they would never give up until they reached Moscow. The Chinese originally wanted the ceded lands, after all, they would involve the Far East, which was still under control, and Stalin was absolutely unwilling to compromise with a weak country that was once a second- or third-rate country.
Not only him, but even Huaxia's side stopped the peace talks and directly shouted out the jīlie words that spoke with cannons.
On the Eastern Front, more than a million troops have been invested on both sides, from the Ural Mountains to Lake Baikal, from the Arctic Circle to the Transméng steppe, and a war of this magnitude will not be able to subside in a moment. The rest can only be said in terms of victory and defeat.
It's just that Soviet Russia also did not have enough strength to cope with the quagmire of two-front warfare.
"The Chinese have more and more troops on the border of Suméng, but they have not been able to trigger it, and they are improving logistics and supplies, and the railway is about to be repaired to Ulaanbaatar." Zhukov said again, "And yesterday our three divisions failed in their attacks on several Ural Passes, and with the activities of the Chinese in Siberia, we may not be able to completely open up the Trans-Siberian Railway in the short term." There is no European support, there are too few factories in the Far East, and the stocks of strategic materials there are dwindling. Over time, it's only going to get worse for us. We need to find another way to solve this problem! ”RO!。
