A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier, and similarly, a general who does not want to be a marshal is not a good general. The generals of the Soviet Russian army www.biquge.info want to go one step further and become the marshal of Soviet Russia. It's just that it's very difficult. So far, there are only five marshals in Soviet Russia. Of these, two were executed, a total of mutiny, and now only two remain.

"Comrade Voroshilov, Comrade Shaposhnikov. If Comrade Timoshenko was able to defeat the Chinese* army in this battle, would he be able to cooperate with the Upper Urals Front and destroy Tsarist Russia in one fell swoop? Stalin asked. The Russian Empire, located on the West Siberian Plain, has always been a thorn in Stalin's side. Soviet Russia wanted to wage war against the Russian Empire several times and destroy the Russian Empire. However, in the end, they all ended in failure.

"Comrade Stalin, according to the information we have received, Tsarist Russia is also building up its armaments. With the support of the Chinese, they planned to expand the army to two million men. Of course, the decaying Tsarist Russian army, with very limited combat effectiveness, was not at all an opponent of the heroic Soviet Russian army. As long as we can defeat the Chinese, then it will be very easy to defeat them. Voroshilov said.

Soviet Russia has never taken Tsarist Russia into account, and thought that the combat effectiveness of the Tsarist Russian army was the same as before. In fact, the current Tsarist army has already undergone radical changes. The equipment they use is all the standard equipment of the Chinese Army. The training was also mainly conducted by instructors sent by the Imperial Army. Senior generals also have to go to the Imperial Army University for training, and the overall combat strength has changed greatly. What's more, the chief of the General Staff of the Tsarist army was Tukhachevsky. Among the marshals of the Soviet army, Tukhachevsky was the one who was the best at fighting. Under his leadership, the combat effectiveness of the army of the Russian Empire is naturally not to be underestimated.

"Comrade Stalin, Comrade Timoshenko was able to break through the defense line of the Chinese this time, and this is a good start. If the Nizhny Ural Front can defeat the Chinese* army in one fell swoop, then it will be a matter of being able to deal with the Russian Empire. Shaposhnikov also said.

Stalin nodded, believing that his views were shared by Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov, which made him somewhat complacent.

"After the destruction of Tsarist Russia, we will be able to recover Western Siberia and part of Central Asia. At that time, while the Chinese are fighting fiercely with the United States in the Pacific, we can send troops to recover all of Siberia and Central Asia. Even sending troops to attack the Chinese mainland will make the Chinese pay a greater price. If Russia can control the whole of Eurasia, then we will be able to spread the revolution to the whole world. Let the red flag weave the whole world. Stalin said excitedly.

Now he doesn't just want to be the leader of Soviet Russia, he also wants to be the leader of the whole world. This may be the reason why people's ambitions and desires are always not fully satisfied.

Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov, in the face of Stalin's eloquent talk, could only nod. Although, they considered this conception of Stalin to be almost like a pipe dream. But they have to pretend to take it for granted. This is also the reason why they were so trusted by Stalin that they were not purged.

It was not until three o'clock in the morning that Voroshilov and Shaposhnikov were released. After the two left the Kremlin, they both had wry smiles on their faces. Both of them are smart people and have deep military attainments, so they naturally know how big a problem the Lower Ural Front under the command of Timoshenko broke through the defense line of the Chinese army this time. It's just that the two chose to protect themselves and didn't say it to their faces. Anyway, even if something goes wrong then, it's Timoshenge's problem, and it has nothing to do with them.

Under the existing system in Soviet Russia, Stalin held all the power, and those who dared to resist him or threaten his rule were all purged. Therefore, this made it possible for no one to question Stalin, and not to dare to question Stalin. In such a situation, it is natural that something will go wrong.

At the front, the command of the Nizhny Ural Front, Timoshenko received a telegram from Moscow. Stalin's praise for him made his heart that had been hanging finally put back in his stomach. Especially after learning from his own sources that Stalin intended to promote him to marshal next year made him even more ecstatic. If he can become a marshal, then he will be considered a real high-level military in Soviet Russia. Whether it is power or status, it will improve a lot. Of course, the premise is that he must fight this battle well. Otherwise, everything will come to naught. At the same time, it will not only make him not promoted, but even saving his own life will become a problem.

"Order the troops on the front line to seize the time to attack. Before dawn, it is necessary to occupy as many positions as possible. Once dawn, the departments must turn to the defensive to prevent the Chinese from attacking. Tell the comrades that as long as they can defeat the Chinese, they are the heroes of Soviet Russia, and Comrade Stalin will personally wear medals for them. Timoshenko said.

In order to win this battle, he can only do his best.

Under the orders of Timoshenko, the Russian army took advantage of the darkness of night and launched a fierce attack. They stubbornly pushed into the depths of the Imperial Army again and again. By daybreak, the farthest advancing army had penetrated twenty kilometers into the positions of the Imperial Army.

Of course, this was the reason why the Imperial Army deliberately let these Soviet troops go deeper. Otherwise, the Imperial Army would have suffered heavy losses once it had defended with all its might. But the Soviets should not think of taking a step forward.

After daybreak, the Soviets stopped their offensive and moved to the defensive. They began to strengthen their defensive lines, preparing for a possible counterattack by the Imperial Army. It's just that how strong can the defensive positions built in a hurry be? Especially in the face of the powerful firepower of the Imperial Army and the fire support of the Air Force, these hastily constructed fortifications were actually no different from paper paste.

The battlefield situation at this time, if you look at it from the map, will be quite strange. The Soviets broke through the Reichs' defenses in five sections. Millions of Soviet troops stormed the positions of the Imperial Army. It's just that in the positions of the Imperial Army, there are several positions that have been holding out. Even in the face of the fierce attack of the Soviet troops, they withstood it. As a result, the Soviet forces that broke into the Imperial Army line were not able to unite, but were divided into five salients. If the Imperial Army launched a counterattack and regained the defensive line previously occupied by the Soviet Army, then the Soviet Army that had broken into the Imperial Army's defensive line would be surrounded. At that time, the fate that awaits them is most likely to be surrounded and annihilated by the concentrated superior forces of the Imperial Army.

After annihilating the main forces of the Soviet Lower Ural Front, the Imperial Army was able to launch a counterattack and destroy the remnants of the Soviet Lower Ural Front in one fell swoop. Even crossed the Ural River in one fell swoop, advanced the defensive line to the Volga, and occupied a large area of Soviet Russian land.

The success of this plan of the Imperial Army depends entirely on the fact that after the Imperial Army has laid a trap, the Soviets will foolishly break in on their own. Judging by the current situation, the Soviets really broke in on their own. And this gave the Imperial Army a great opportunity.

After daybreak, the airfields of the Imperial Air Force were lined with fighter planes, dive bombers, and ground attack planes ready for action. With the help of the ground crew, they were ready to take off. Just wait for the order to attack, and then they can take off and bomb the Soviet troops.

At the headquarters of the 3rd Army of the Imperial Army, Lieutenant General Zhu Yi was having a headache about yesterday's losses. Although, the 3rd Army of the Imperial Army suffered considerable losses in this battle. However, compared with the imminent annihilation of more than one million or even two million Soviet troops, such a small loss is nothing.

The 5th and 6th armies of the Imperial Army, as well as the 1st Panzer Army, as the main forces of this counterattack, had long been prepared. Yesterday's battle was so fierce, but they could only act as spectators in the rear, not to mention how reluctant they were. Well, now, the counterattack is finally about to begin.

Yasne, the headquarters of the Western Front of the Reich, Admiral Zhang Yunnong is listening to a report from the front. The 3rd Army of the Imperial Army, although suffering considerable losses, was ready to make a sortie to regain its position. The 5th Army and the 6th Army will also send part of their forces to help the 3rd Army. After all, once the Imperial Army began to counterattack, the Soviet army would definitely retreat if it could not resist. Even other units of the Lower Ural Front of the Soviet Army will respond. At that time, the Imperial Army, which was stationed on the east bank of the Ural River, would have to face the danger of being attacked from both sides. Therefore, their power must be strengthened. In this way, this plan can be a complete success.

"Commander, the 3rd Army, the 5th Army, the 6th Army, the 1st Panzer Army are ready. The Air Force has also reported that they are ready. All the fighters are already refueled, full of bombs, ready to take off for battle. An operational staff officer reported to Admiral Zhang Yunnong.

"Very good, since Lao Maozi has found death by himself and entered our trap. Well, now is the last moment to hunt the prey that falls into the trap. The Air Force, the 3rd Army, the 5th Army, the 6th Army and the 1st Panzer Army were ordered to launch a counterattack at once. Admiral Zhang Yunnong ordered. (To be continued.) )
