"Boom! Rumble! "When the Imperial Air Force fighters roared one after another and threw bombs on the heads of the Soviet troops, it meant that with the arrival of daylight, the sky was once again controlled by the Imperial Air Force. The best time for the Soviet army to escape has passed www.biquge.info, and from now on, the possibility of the Soviet army successfully breaking through will increase exponentially.

The longer they were surrounded by the Imperial Army, the more severe the Soviets suffered, which would make the forces they used to break the encirclement of the Imperial Army weaker and weaker, leading to the complete encirclement and annihilation of them by the Imperial Army.

When daylight returned, the Imperial Air Force dispatched thousands of planes to attack the Soviet forces in the encirclement, further weakening the resistance of the Soviet forces and creating conditions for the Imperial Army to completely annihilate them. At the same time, the artillery of the Imperial Army continued to fire. Because the living space of the Soviet army has become even more cramped after last night's battle. This made the artillery bombardment of the Imperial Army even more threatening.

Of course, for the Soviet troops in the encirclement, it was like hell. Every minute, people die here, whether they are killed by fighters of the Chinese Air Force or by the artillery of the Chinese Army, the result is practically the same.

There was no hope of breaking through, and watching the comrades around him be blown into minced meat by bombs or shells, this was undoubtedly a great test for the soldiers of the Soviet army, and many people even collapsed because of it.

Outside the encirclement, on the west bank of the Urals, the remaining units of the Soviet army also moved. When the Chinese army and air force were gathering their main forces to deal with the Soviet forces in the encirclement, they chose to retreat. The first to be evacuated were the baggage troops, artillery and armored troops. Although, the Soviet artillery and armored forces suffered very heavy losses in the previous battles. However, these two technical arms are still valued by the Soviet army. After the retreat to the Volga, more artillery and armor had to be replenished.

"Comrade commander, this is a telegram from Moscow." A communications officer handed over a telegram to Zhukov.

After reading the telegram, Zhukov smiled helplessly: "Call back to Comrade Stalin, we have already tried." However, it is very regrettable that our efforts have not been able to succeed. The Chinese encirclement was so strong that we could not rescue the besieged troops. If you keep going, I'm afraid; Even we will be annihilated by the Chinese. In order to preserve strength, I will retreat to the west of the Volga for defense. ”

"In addition, Comrade Stalin was asked to send more troops to the Volga. The Air Force, in particular, must ensure air supremacy. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to defeat the Chinese. Zhukov continued.

"Yes, Comrade Commander." The communications officer saluted and left.

"Comrade Commander, do we really want to abandon those comrades who are besieged? That's an army of millions! Without them, the Nizhny Ural Front existed in name only. A general asked with a sad face.

"It's not that we're going to give up on them, it's that there's nothing we can do. The Chinese have laid a trap, they have fallen into it. If we don't retreat, we'll fall into it. Also, keep in mind that even without them. The Nizhny Urals Front will not exist in name only. Comrade Stalin will reinforce us with troops from the Upper Urals Front and the Don Front. The Air Force will also send a large number of warplanes to assist us. We will form a new front, the Volga Front. There, resist the attacks of the Chinese. Zhukov said.

Of course, he could also see that everyone didn't agree with the retreat.

"Comrades, we are now retreating, abandoning our comrades-in-arms, and also giving up a large amount of territory. I know it's making people feel bad. However, there is no way around it. Our retreat, in order to preserve strength, in order to be able to resist the attack of the Chinese in the future, in order to better protect the great Soviet Russia. So, I hope you all understand that. Execute the order and go. Zhukov said.

"Yes, Comrade Commander." The generals nodded their heads. Regardless of whether they could accept Zhukov's order to retreat or not. However, it is necessary to act in accordance with this command. Otherwise, Zhukov is not a good stubble, and they will definitely not be able to eat and walk around. With Zhukov as commander of the army group and at the same time with Stalin's support, no one could confront him head-on.

Looking at the backs of the departing generals, Zhukov looked indifferent. If he wanted to, of course, he hoped to be able to rescue the Soviet troops in the encirclement and retreat to the Volga together. Those veterans who fought with the Chinese* army will be the backbone of the future Soviet and Russian armies. Each one is a valuable asset. However, they have tried, but they simply cannot do it, and they cannot save those surrounded troops. If they continue to stay here, after the Chinese* army has eliminated the besieged Soviet army, I am afraid that it will be their turn next. So, in order to preserve his strength, Zhukov had to order a retreat. In this way, hundreds of thousands of people can be saved. When reinforcements arrived, they were able to deploy along the Volga. If these hundreds of thousands of people are lost, the gap in the strength of the Soviet army will be even greater.

The Imperial Army successfully surrounded millions of Soviet troops, and only by annihilating the Soviet troops in the encirclement would the Imperial Army achieve a brilliant victory. This also gave way to a jubilant atmosphere within the Western Front Command in Yasne. Although, the Western Front Command has been on the defensive since it was launched. However, being able to win the battle is undoubtedly the hope of every soldier of the Empire.

However, at this time, in the office of General Zhang Yunnong, the commander of the Western Front of the Imperial Army, there was a foreigner with a high nose and blue eyes. This person is none other than Marshal Tukhachevsky, the former Marshal of Soviet Russia, and now a traitor, the current Chief of the General Staff of the Imperial Russian Army.

In the last Sino-Soviet war, Tukhachevsky was surrounded and eventually surrendered. After accepting the goodwill of the Reich and the Russian Empire, he betrayed Soviet Russia and became the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Empire, and at the same time was awarded the rank of marshal.

As a traitor to Soviet Russia, Tukhachevsky always harbored fear of Soviet Russia, and he knew very well how powerful Soviet Russia was when it was agitated. How fierce the Russian army was. If it weren't for the support of the Chinese Empire, he would not have believed that the Russian Empire would have the strength to confront Soviet Russia. Now, war has broken out again. And it will be a war that will decide the fate of Soviet Russia and the Russian Empire. Tukhachevsky, of course, hoped to be able to settle the Russians once and for all in this war. That way, he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

Tukhachevsky knew that Soviet Russia had always had zero tolerance for traitors. Once the Russian Empire is destroyed and he is recaptured by Soviet Russia, I am afraid that even death will become a luxury at that time.

Fortunately, in this war, the Chinese Empire lived up to expectations and won a great victory at the beginning. So far, the Imperial Army has annihilated hundreds of thousands of enemies, and even surrounded millions of Soviet troops. If all the Soviet troops in the encirclement were wiped out, then the Soviet army would suffer heavy losses. The strength of both sides will also change radically.

"Your Excellency, Commander, congratulations on the victory of the Imperial* army in this battle. Although, the war has only just begun. However, I believe that the Empire has already sealed the victory. We will definitely win this battle. Marshal Tukhachevsky smiled, he was genuinely happy at the victory of the Reich* army. After all, at this time, the Russian Empire and the Chinese Empire had long been tied together. His own fate has also been tied to the Chinese Empire. If he fails, he will only die.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for your congratulations. However, the war has only just begun. It's too early to say that the Empire is in control. Admiral Zhang Yunnong said with a smile. Of course, he actually agrees with Tukhachevsky's statement. The Empire has been preparing for so long, would it have been easy for the Empire to go to war if it hadn't been for the chance of victory?

"Your Excellency, you are still so cautious. However, the Russian Imperial Army was on the eastern side of the Ural River and never caught any battles. The Soviet troops opposite us seemed to have been frightened and did not have the courage to climb over the Urals to attack us. So, if His Excellency the General wanted it, the Russian Empire could provide the General with troops of six army groups. Tukhachevsky said.

In this war, the Ural River was the focus of the Soviet army's attack. As for the Ural Mountains and the Don direction, the Soviets simply sent their air forces into the battle. After being beaten up by the Imperial Air Force again, he was honest and never dared to provoke again.

"Your Excellency, Marshal. There is no need for it at the moment. If you need a reserve, I won't be polite to you. Admiral Zhang Yunnong shook his head.

"Your Excellency, my main intention this time is to encircle those Soviet troops in the encirclement. That's a million people! Even though they joined the army of Soviet Russia, they were all deceived. They are all Russians and are well-trained military men. Therefore, Her Majesty wanted to be able to recruit those troops and let them join the Empress's army to fight for the Russian Empire. In this way, we can greatly enhance our strength. It's much better than killing them all. Tukhachevsky said. The reason why he rushed here from Chelyabinsk was to recruit the besieged Soviet army. That's a million sturdy men, and even if they can recruit half of them, they can add hundreds of thousands of troops to the Russian Imperial Army. (To be continued.) )
