Chapter 609: Not Afraid of Sacrifice
Chapter 609 is not afraid of sacrifice
"Well, the casualties are too great!" The chief adviser, Smorodinov, was frightened. At this time, the artillery fire on the ground was suppressed, and the sky became the domain of the Chinese people again because the airfield was bombed by the vanguard army at night.
"Heavy casualties? If we don't quickly solve the problem of the outer gate G chasm, and revoke the greedy thoughts around us, we expect that our enemy will not be a Huaxia, and it will bring ten times more casualties! The calm face of the commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Front, Apanashchenko, suddenly turned hideous, and he said angrily.
His paternalistic and impetuous temper, although Smorodinov usually understands it, but at this time, Apanashchenko's eyes that seemed to be cannibalistic still made his heart skip a beat.
However, he also understood what Apanashchenko meant. Time waits for no one, and the situation in Europe and even the whole world puts Soviet Russia in a passive situation. This time, the Soviet Russians hurriedly instigated an attack at the outer gate, which was also the reason for the eagerness to extricate themselves from this unfortunate situation, which of course had something to do with the arrogance of the Soviet Russians and their contempt for China.
The slight enemy of the Russians this time is inseparable from the top of Moscow. The defeat on the battlefield in Finland was not accidental, and there were all kinds of problems in the army, even if people of insight knew about it, but they could not change it. This involves the interests and games of all parties, and involves even more brutal political struggles.
After the defeat of Finland, although the Soviet and Russian troops also had warnings, the speed of change was too slow, otherwise it would not have been beaten so smoothly by the later Germans.
Especially after the Far East repelled the temptation of the old enemy, it made Soviet Russia have some proud psychological advantages in the East, and this rush offensive was not unusual. Even some of the follow-up preparations are incomplete, and when the appropriate things are not expected, they have to make greater sacrifices.
What he didn't know was that Apanashchenko had already made up his mind at this time, even if he sacrificed more, he would exchange for victory.
Because he was at the top, he knew more about the tools than Morodinov.
Stalin had already hinted personally that he should not be afraid of sacrifice and not hesitate to win a victory in the Eastern theater of events to buy time for the alliance.
This is the time, time is of the essence. Only with time will it be possible to complete the installation and institutional adjustment of the Western Front, and only then will it be possible to implement the new conscription bill and grow tens of millions of international fighters.
If there is a defeat on the outer gate G-gap, the Germans will definitely take the initiative to attack in advance, and even have other unprepared attackers to join. For example, Turkey, which is now wavering, and even those who have signed a neutrality treaty, may become greedy wolves and pounce on Soviet Russia. The wall is down and everyone is pushing, don't look at the people who have begun to go south now, but as long as they don't tear their faces with Britain and the United States, it is possible to turn north to get more benefits.
Therefore, Apanashchenko understood that this battle was only allowed to be won, and it was forbidden to lose. No matter how big the sacrifice is, it doesn't matter.
Sacrifice is for the sake of better maintaining the overall situation. Even if half of the army is filled in this hole, at most it will be a little wounded by Soviet Russia. But the situation in Soviet Russia as a whole was opened.
And in this era, sacrifice is originally a kind of honor.
……
"Sacrifice is for the happiness of all mankind!" Stalin was faintly talking, and he was already sketching a map of the world in his mind.
Beria, who was standing quietly next to him, did not question such stupid words as "why save the decaying Western capitalist world".
The British envoy had just left. After countless compromises, this time, there was finally a phased progress in cooperation, and he left happily to rush to London, which was almost in ruins, to report the good news.
"The British must not fall. If the Germans had completely defeated the British, concentrating their forces on attacking us, then our situation would have been even more critical. At this time, we need to make sacrifices. It is worth the sacrifice we have made to save the British people from the clutches of fascism and for the future of the Union. Stalin waved his pipe and smiled.
He seemed to be in a good mood. The British, who were huddled in the underground wet command post, had made a big compromise, not only that the gold coins with the Queen's face would flow into the Treasury of the Federal Savings Board of the United States in exchange for weapons and equipment for Soviet Russia, but also that the technology and secrets of the British Empire would be locked in the basement of the Kremlin, and the resources of the British Empire's huge colonies would also be open to Soviet Russia. And Soviet Russia only needs to pull the British before they fall.
"As long as the British are fighting, the Americans will not sit idly by, rather than simply throwing out a concession bill as they are now. War is a catalyst for civilization. The contradictions between the decaying superstructure of Western imperialism and the productive forces are being transformed, and the world war is about to unfold in full swing for the sake of resources and markets. Stalin stood up with some excitement.
Soviet Russia was not paying attention to the Germans for a day or two, and with the smooth progress of the Germans in Europe, Stalin had a premonition that there would be a life-and-death battle between the two countries. He would never sit idly by and watch the Germans completely destroy the British, and Soviet Russia alone faced the danger that the Germans would perish again. Soviet Russia needed the British to hold back the Germans on the Western Front, and the Europeans knew that the Germans would inevitably fail on two fronts.
Although the two imperialist countries are inexhaustibly consumed and weakened, he is still gloating on the side. At the same time, he was preparing in China early. Not only are some factories moving to the east, but they are also actively preparing on the western front.
However, this preparation of the Soviets and Russians was both offensive and defensive. Not only did they resist the Germans' future attacks, but they even planned to take the Germans by surprise while the Germans were fighting with the British and even others, and reap the final fruits of victory.
When Meng Xiang found out such information, he was not only a little speechless and frightened. However, there were also various indications in later generations that Soviet Russia did have plans to attack Germany. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many planes and troops planted too close to the front line. Unexpectedly, the Germans, who were extremely self-confident, not only wanted to follow the trail of God, but also wanted to break the fate of defeat on both lines. When the Germans learned of the Russians' plans, they took the initiative to attack.
"The hand of war will crush the future of imperialism, and we are the victors of the future. In such an arduous process, sacrifice is inevitable, and those who die will be heroes who will contribute to the peaceful future of all mankind. "Stalin moved more and more, and his pipe waved endlessly. Although Beria was silent beside him, Stalin suddenly thought of the information he had told about the outer gate, and he couldn't help frowning and said:
"Tell Apanashchenko that you are not afraid of sacrifice and play with the momentum of the alliance!"
……
"This time, we must play with the momentum of our Huaxia!" Fu Zuoyi roared murderously and ended this meeting of senior officers.
The battle in the daytime was basically based on artillery battles, and the artillery fire of the vanguard army was superior and suppressed the Russians, but the guns were not long-sighted, although the tunnel system was sound, and the main force was also in the rear, but at the end of the day, there were still hundreds of casualties. But Fu Zuoyi understands that this is just the beginning. Not to mention the possible offensive of the Russians, even after the whole plan of the vanguard army was unfolded, the pressure on their corps was very great. When the time comes, heavy casualties are inevitable.
Especially now in the face-to-face bloody battle in the army, many recruits in the army have experienced less, in order to no longer present the situation of losing the chain at a critical time, so that Fu Zuoyi had to remind him at the strategic meeting at night. And some soldiers think that their artillery is powerful and somewhat underestimated, and this kind of thinking also needs to be beaten.
Officers at all levels also need to convey and implement various orders and instructions.
"Tomorrow, no, today, will be a test." Fu Zuoyi, who was also busy in his junior year, had no intention of sleeping, staring at the night sky with bloodshot eyes, and not only muttered in a low voice.
……
"The time has come to test you! The ardent hope of the people is condensed in them, and the alliance will be proud of them! A Russian political commissar was standing outside the shrapnel trench with an iron horn, waving a pistol in his hand, while walking around looking at the Russian soldiers in the trench, shouting loudly.
"Ulla!" In the distance, there were also political workers making the final move, and the deliberately suppressed response was quickly dissipated in the explosion of artillery fire.
The artillery shells on both sides seemed to be inexhaustible, from yesterday to the early hours of this morning. At most, it is a little sparse at night. However, at about three o'clock in the morning, the sparse artillery fire suddenly became fierce. The Russians had prepared shells for the night, and in a short time they poured out the barrels of the guns cooled by the cold water of the night.
In an instant, on the entire position, it seemed that only the fire of the Soviet Russians was shining brightly in the night, more numerous than the stars in the sky.
"Rush forward, and there will shine the glory of our victory. For the sake of the Union, for the ultimate victory of internationalism, rush! ”
"Ulla!" This time, the response that swept the entire battlefield overwhelmed the explosion of cannonballs, making the air of the cold night seem to boil.
Before the smoke began to obscure the starry sky, the Soviet and Russian soldiers in the front-line trenches poured out like a tide, following the footsteps of the shells and moving forward firmly
