In the early morning of October 13.

Borja, in the underground bunker of the 1st fortress of the Far Eastern Front, the headquarters of the 21st Soviet Army.

Lieutenant General Barnov sat quietly in front of the map, listening to the staff officer's report on the losses over the past two days, his face a little gloomy. A torrent of steel with thousands of Chinese tanks had broken through the entire defensive line, rushed to its rear, and surrounded the 21st Regiment in a narrow area of more than a dozen kilometers around the Borja fortress. Although everything is calm now, the squadron did not attack, but Lieutenant General Baranov could also think with his heel that the other side was placing a gate 210mm, 240mm, 280mm, or even 380mm siege artillery in place!

Compared to Chita Fortress, Borja Fortress is nothing more than a crudely built crappy product, and the reinforced concrete bunkers here are too thin to withstand the bombardment of cannons over 240mm. And apart from 12 203mm heavy howitzers in the fortress, there are no other heavy guns!

In addition, the air defense system of this fortress was too weak. When designing this fortress, those blind engineers designed the air defense system according to the bombing level of the Soviet Air Force, and they did not expect that there would be dive bombers in this world that could carry 500 kg or even 1500 kg of giant bombs! On the 11th and 12th, these planes blew up the four main fortress complexes of the fortress into a pile of rubble with huge bombs of 1,500 kilograms!

At that time, Comrade Brezhnev, the political commissar of the 21 Army, was inspecting one of the fortresses...... It is said that the heroic commissar of the Red Army was torn to pieces by the explosion before he could even scream, and was buried forever in the collapsed fortress along with more than a thousand Red Army soldiers. If you add in the losses suffered by the three corps stationed around the Borja fortress during the two days of air raids, more than 5,000 people have already been killed or injured in the air raids.

This situation suddenly cast a shadow on the entire Far Eastern Front, and the Chita fortress, about 300 kilometers behind the Borja fortress, was also subjected to heavy air strikes in the past two days. Although the fortress, where the headquarters of the Front was located, was not hit by the bombs, the raging Chinese planes caused almost three thousand casualties.

What made Lieutenant General Baranov even more troublesome was not the bombs dropped from these Chinese planes, but the leaflets with the portrait of Empress Anastasia printed on them! On these leaflets, the empress promised "her subjects" in the presence of the cross and the Orthodox archbishop that after she took power in Russia, every peasant would have his own land. They can plant whatever they want, except for a slight tax, and all the fruits of their labor belong to them! There will be no more collective farms. There will be no Gulag labor camps either! There will also be no heavy military service......

The Empress also announced the pardon of all revolutionaries who had once opposed the Romanov dynasty! Both Stalin and the Red Army executioners who had shot at the Empress herself were pardoned...... And all the officers and government officials of the Soviet Red Army who surrendered to the Empress's government were rewarded with corresponding positions and titles! In the end, the empress, whom Comrade Stalin called a prostitute and a madwoman, expressed her most sincere repentance and apology for the suffering caused to the entire Russian people by leading Russia into the First World War! And guaranteed after the restoration of the Romanov dynasty. Will always be internationally neutral! Now this war will be the last one that the Russian nation has ever experienced! Of course. If they are not willing to surrender, but to die defending the cause of GCISM, Her Majesty will pray for them with tears in her eyes!

To tell the truth, this piece of paper, which is full of absurd lies, is still quite attractive to the officers and men of the 21st Group of the Red Army in despair. You can own your own land, pay only a light tax, and you don't have to fight for the tsar, and there is no gulag and NKVD! Isn't this the life that Russians dream of? According to the reports of the internal affairs personnel of the army group, now almost every soldier of the 21 army secretly hid a leaflet. And Anastasia has been called "mother" by some people under the SI...... It is clear that the morale of the 21st Army and even the entire Far Eastern Front has begun to waver!

In the early morning of this day, a lieutenant officer with a white flag sent a letter of surrender written by Empress Anastasia herself, in which the Empress asked the 21st Army to side with the Romanovs. War with the brutal usurper - Georgian Stalin! At the same time, he also promised to crown the group army-level generals as marquises, and all army-level generals as counts. Divisions are viscounts, and regimental commanders can get the title of baron! All officers who were knighted would receive a manor at the end of the war.

Of course, Lieutenant General Balnov had sternly rejected the empress's surrender, and on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of the 21st Army, he wrote a reply letter to the empress, insulting the empress! Well, but he is not an idiot, after rejecting the other party's persuasion, he naturally knows what will happen next. The squadron's attack will soon begin, and the three remaining armies in his hands and this fortress that is almost in ruins will definitely not last a few days. However, as a loyal GC fighter, it is time to dedicate oneself to the cause! Well, to be precise, he led hundreds of thousands of backward elements who did not believe in GCISM to dedicate themselves to the cause!

Barnov put a stop to the staff officer's pessimistic briefing: "I don't need to listen to that, tell me where the reinforcements from Chita have arrived. ”

The staff officer sighed lightly and said: "Marshal Blyukhel sent us the Fourth Cavalry Army, which has nine cavalry divisions and about 35,000 cavalry, and they set off on the morning of the 11th, but the enemy's air raid is too fierce, and there are some White Guards who disguise themselves as our men to harass along the way, so ......"

"So you can't come?"

Barnov glared at the reporting staff officer: "Since they can't come, then let's defeat those Chinese devils by our own strength!" The commanders, political commissars, and chiefs of staff of the 101st, 102nd, and 103rd armies were ordered to come to the bunker for a meeting.

"Yes!" After the staff officer saluted, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Comrade commander, I just got the report." The Chinese seem to have brought in a White Russian infantry corps, which is estimated to be used to take the lead. ”

Barnov said with a bitter smile: "Use the Russians to fight the Russians, these Chinese have now learned the skills of GC International!" However, their wishful thinking will not succeed, because the knife of the White Russians to kill the Bolsheviks will never be as fast as the knife of the Bolsheviks to kill the White Russians! We will soon kill all the White Russians, if they Chinese want to take the Borja fortress. Only go into battle by yourself! ”

However, Lieutenant General Barnov's expectations did not come true, and the Chinese did not send Russian cannon fodder to the field, nor did they personally go out. Rather, a whole day of artillery bombardment and aircraft bombardment!

……

Oct. 13 at 7:30 a.m. Just 30 minutes after Lieutenant General Barnov refused to surrender. The Chinese artillery began to show its might.

As the red light streaked across the sky, the outer positions of the 21st Army of the Soviet Red Army were suddenly filled with the light of shells. 150mm, 105mm howitzers. 75mm mountain gun. 70mm infantry guns, 88mm anti-aircraft guns, and 120mm heavy mortars fired from the trenches all threw their shells onto the front-line field positions of the Soviet Red Army. It exploded in front of and behind the trenches, leaving a sky full of smoke.

At this time, in the deep trench fortifications, 100,000 Soviet Red officers and soldiers were huddled and hiding at the bottom of the trenches, some shivering, some chanting. More is complete numbness and resignation. Anyway, their fate has already been decided by the great Soviet GCD, either starving in the collective farms, or shelling in this damned earthen ditch for the most magnificent cause of all mankind! From time to time, shells exploded in the trenches. Many officers and soldiers of the 21st Soviet Army have not even seen the shadow of the Chinese or the White Russian infantry. He fell into this cold, wet ditch. And no one but Empress Anastasia and their families will shed a tear for them, and no one will pray for their spirits......

And the Chinese's long-range heavy artillery now mainly hits the fortresses of the Borja fortress, and the giant shells make a roaring sound in the sky like a speeding train, and then there is a rumbling explosion like the sky is cracking, as if the furious Thor is hitting the heads of Soviet officers and soldiers with his giant hammer. If a 210mm shell hit the reinforced concrete fortifications of the Borja fortress, then it was okay, the people inside were at most deafening to the huge explosion, and some would have bleeding from the mouth and nose. If a 240mm shell hits the fort, cracks will appear everywhere in the fortifications, and the water in the cistern will leak. If you are hit by a huge 280mm shell, the fortifications will be reduced to a pile of rubble! If it was hit by the shells fired by the two 380mm train guns, the entire shelter would become a deep pit with a diameter of more than ten meters, and everything in it would not exist.

The sound of engines roaring and the strange cries of planes as they dive and bomb could be heard in the sky, and a dark cloud seemed to be flying over the Soviet front. Hundreds of A-4A Thunderhawk dive bombers were dispatched at the same time, dropping giant bombs round after round into what appeared to be fortress bunkers, turning the entire core area of the Borja fortress into a terrifying crater like the surface of the moon, where all life seemed to be extinct.

In this way, this round of continuous shelling and bombardment by the Chinese put great pressure on the Soviet Red Army in Borja. 300,000 shells of various types and thousands of bombshells, repeatedly ploughing the positions of the Soviet Red Army from front to back and from left to back, from day to night, the sound of artillery here lasted for 24 hours, as if the Chinese were ready to wipe Borja off the map with shells! And these 200,000 shells and thousands of bombshells were exchanged for more than 20% of the combat effectiveness of the defenders, and more than 15,000 people were killed and wounded in the sound of artillery fire and explosions! There are also many people whose will to fight has been shattered by the shelling, and they will only tremble in the trenches! And the already imperfect defense system and obstacles are almost destroyed! The entire defense line, except for the most core fortress area, is almost **luo facing the attacking army of the Chinese.

And the offensive of infantry and tanks, this time has finally arrived!

……

October 13, 1937, was clearly a good day to be bombed!

Boom Boom Boom ......

Countless shells also fell on the banks of the Yenisei River on this day, and exploded around the old Krasnoyarsk fortress! This scene made Sun Liren, who had just arrived in Krasnoyarsk, his eyeballs almost cracked. Damn the Soviet Red Army reacted too quickly, right? In less than three days, they brought in a large army from Novosibirsk, a thousand kilometers away. And as soon as the train was delighted, these tireless "blue hats" seized positions on the other side of the Yenisei River, set up cannons, and somewhere got a lot of small wooden boats...... Then the artillery shells that began to attack without a head and no brains fell as if they didn't want money, and in three hours they actually dropped nearly a thousand shells on the star fort built in 1820 on the east bank of the Yenisei River!

Oh, my God! It's just an antique that's more than a hundred years old, and it needs to be destroyed with such powerful artillery fire?

If it's just artillery fire, forget it. Their infantry was also charging almost incessantly, and the "blue hat" didn't seem to know tiredness or death. Paddled in all kinds of small wooden boats, staring at the dense rain of bullets, they charged towards the east bank of the Yenisei River.

Is this the real strength of the Soviet Internal Guard? I thought they were just some executioners who would only shoot at their own people. I didn't expect it to be so fierce and not afraid of death! Stepping on the corpses of his comrades. Charge without hesitation! If all the Soviet Red Army had been so heroic and tenacious, it would have been difficult to say whether the war would have been won or lost.

"Boom!"

Another shell exploded not far from Sun Liren's temporary headquarters, and several soldiers stationed there were suddenly overturned by the explosion wave, and a burst of dust fell from the air, which also made Sun Liren calm down a little.

This antique fortress guards an important crossing on the Yenisei River, and a railway bridge of the Trans-Siberian Railway passes next to the fortress. But now that the bridge has been blown up, there are more than one places to cross the river, and there is no need for the Soviet Red Army to sacrifice so many lives to force the crossing here. So the offensive here is fierce though. But it must be a feint, the other party just wants to attract their attention firmly, and then complete the rush elsewhere!

But here's the thing. His own troops were too thin, and they simply did not have enough troops to defend the banks of the river, which were too long. It can only be concentrated in a small section near the city of Krasnoyarsk. And this is also a very great significance for their lone army, because the Krasnoyarsk airfield is less than 5 kilometers away, and once it is lost, the Soviet Red Army can put artillery here to bombard the airfield, and its own retreat of seven or eight thousand people will be cut off.

"Major Lu Fusheng! Take your battalion and search and patrol 20 kilometers north along the Yenisei River! ”

"Major Xie Zhihan! You also led a search patrol along the Yenisei River to the south for 20 kilometers! It is necessary to pay attention to the situation on the river and on the opposite bank, and if there is any sign of Soviet troops crossing the river, immediately report it by radio. ”

"Yes!" After the two majors who graduated from the seventh phase of Huangpu saluted, they turned around and left, looking at the backs of the two young people wearing MI color uniforms, a smile appeared on the corner of Sun Liren's mouth. The "blue hats" on the opposite side are elite, and how can their own airborne troops not be unexpected? If those blue hats were to fight in a frontal attack with artillery and tanks to cover the infantry, they would probably not be able to exert their thousands of men, but if they were to fight jungle warfare in the dense forests of Siberia...... Hehe, even the 100,000 Soviet Red Army can't help themselves! The Airborne Forces are dedicated to special missions, and each of them is highly trained in difficult terrain and environments.

After seeing the two leave, Sun Liren raised his binoculars again and began to observe the scene on the river. There are so many "blue hats" of the Soviets! It seems that you can't kill all of them, and if you die, you will come up again, and you probably will go forward and follow these people, right? Their weapons were also very rudimentary, not only did they not have an automatic rifle with incredible power, they didn't even seem to have a submachine gun, only rifles and large turntable light machine guns, and there seemed to be some water-cooled heavy machine guns mounted on the other side of the river, raising the muzzle of the guns and firing indiscriminately at their side. It's just that there are no people at all, and they don't have many people deployed on the embankment on the east bank of the Yenisei River. It was nothing more than snipers hiding on the commanding heights of the fortress and several buildings, and more than a hundred airborne troops hiding behind the river embankment with Min-26 automatic rifles.

If this person had been in the past, it would have been impossible to hold such a large section of the riverbank, but now with this automatic rifle with firepower no less than that of a light machine gun, it is different! Two or three hundred automatic rifles in the hands of elite airborne troops are enough to cost the life of any enemy who dares to approach! It was these people, who worked with the snipers who were deployed on high ground to fight machine gunners, and repelled the Soviet attack for an entire morning. At least 2,000 people were killed and wounded, but the opponent's attack showed no signs of exhaustion!

"Airplanes! The planes of the Soviets! Air raid! Air raid!!! ”

Just as Sun Liren was thinking about when he would be able to kill more than 10,000 "blue hats", a terrible shout suddenly came from outside. Startled, he hurriedly rushed out of the headquarters.

When he rushed outside to look at the sky, the last thing he wanted to see appeared in front of him, only to see three biplane I-15 fighters chasing an FW-200 ready to land and firing! However, what is hilarious is that this Soviet fighter plane does not seem to be able to catch up with the big transport plane, and the distance between the two sides is getting farther and farther away...... But Sun Liren's heart was tightly raised, and he knew that his logistics were in trouble now!。
