Chapter 421: The Eastern Blitz

It was just dawn at this time, and the Air Force, which had reached the basic takeoff conditions, did not waste too much time. More than 2,000 fighter jets, more than 1,000 fearless dive bombers, and more than 500 B24 Liberator bombers filled the entire sky.

This is the entire air force lineup of the North Group Army Group. After years of development, the scale of the Chinese Empire's naval, land and air forces in the Northeast region have long exceeded the strength of the troops within the Chinese Empire.

Whether in terms of equipment or personnel, it can be said that from the beginning, Su Dao went to war with the Soviet Union. The domestic military reform was drastic and did not hide from the media's exposure at all, but few people knew about the reforms in the Northeast.

‘Buzz…’

There were constant buzzing sounds in the air, including fighters and bombers, and various sounds mixed together, giving a strange feeling.

As early as a few months before the war began, the North Army Group began to sit and prepare for this. Special forces infiltrated the Soviet Union one after another, responsible for finding the Soviet Air Force's airports, the Army armored forces and the Army command center.

Although the Soviet Far East Military Region was not as strong as the western region, the Soviet Far East Military Region was still not afraid to underestimate it at this time. In history, when the Soviet-German War broke out, the Far East Military Region had only more than 700,000 troops, but this situation changed after the arrival of General Apanashenko.

Stalin seemed to have noticed anomalies in the Far East, not only transporting some of the troops from the central region to the east, but also ordered Apaneseko to expand the scale of recruitment.

As a result, history was changed again. By the end of November 1941, the Far East Military Region, which should have had less than one million troops, had two million troops. This was the result of more than one million troops being sent to the west.

But this is just right. The Far East is sparsely populated. There are many places where there are not a single person for dozens of kilometers. Apaneseko forced so many soldiers to recruit so many soldiers, which can be said to have overdrawn their future potential for war in advance.

Once the two million troops in their hands are annihilated, then what awaits them will be without soldiers, and the Far East will no longer be able to support this battle.

However, Germany attacked them in the western region. It was obvious that the Soviet Union could not have the extra energy to transport troops from the Far East. Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps Su Dao had guessed that there would be such a possibility, so he accidentally chose to start the war now.

Germany has not yet suffered a defeat. The war potential in the Far East has also been stimulated by at least 80%. Once the attack is victorious, it will inevitably be a great victory.

Looking at the dense fighter jets in the air, Apanashenko felt like he wanted to vomit blood. He had been in the Far East Military Region for a while and had learned a lot about the situation opposite. Although he dared not say that no movement could escape his control, at least he could be regarded as knowing himself and his enemy.

But now there are so many air forces suddenly appearing. This makes Apanashenko a little difficult to accept, because the intelligence in his hands is that the other party has only 2,000 fighter jets at most, but now? There are no less than a thousand of them appearing on their heads alone.

Apanashenko obviously would not believe that the other party's commander would use half of the air force here. Since the war started, it would definitely be a full-on attack, so the air force that appeared here was likely to be one-third or one-quarter.

Thinking that the air force airport was not far behind him, General Apanashenko suddenly woke up. He looked a little panicked and shouted hurriedly: "Go and notify the air force comrades to take off to fight."

"Comrade Political Commissar, please report the situation here to Comrade Stalin. I need to command the troops to carry out defensive operations immediately."

Apaneseko glanced at the political commissar and then he was about to walk out of the room.

"Comrade Apaneseko, the best defense is offense. Since the Chinese have attacked us, we should respond to them with a more fierce attack, not defense. I think Comrade Stalin will not agree to your defensive combat request."

The political commissar looked at Apanashenko with some dissatisfaction and responded.

(The political commissar at this time was unknown who was the one. The information was not found after searching for a long time. There was very little information about the Far East Military Region, so I only found the commander Apanashenko. But now the Soviet Union has just completed the domestic purge, and many people have been withdrawn.)

This political commissar is also a newly replaced political commissar. Like many political commissars, he has never fought any major battles. He just came out of the political school and joined the army as political commissar. Later, he was promoted all the way to the current political commissar of the Far East Military Region.

I have to say that the Soviet political commissar in this era still has great power. Even the commanders of the military region often dare not object, because they can put a hat on you at any time, and there is no need for evidence. The political commissar can directly shoot officers or soldiers.

The supervision team we are familiar with is that the political commissar leads a group of soldiers, holding machine guns behind. Whoever dares to retreat or stagnate to avoid the opponent's bullets when charging, then the political commissar is likely to order the supervision team to open fire.

The political commissar who partnered with Apaneseko was a complete nerd type. He was a hardcore admirer of Stalin and unconditionally supported Stalin. Whether the decision was right or wrong, any person who resisted Stalin or said that Stalin was bad would be dealt with by him.

Otherwise, he would not have been so young and took up the position of political commissar of the Far East Military Region. However, Apaneseko wanted to adopt defensive operations to resist the attack of the Chinese team, but the political commissar felt that he should take the initiative to attack.

Because the mainstream idea in the Soviet army is attack, which mainly caused the principle of defense after Trotsky was revoked and expelled from the country, and the principle of defense became a secondary form of war. Both Stalin and Zhukov were mainly considering blitzkrieg.

Because Germany's previous blitzkrieg brought them too much, and when Germany attacked the Soviet Union, it still used blitzkrieg, which caught the Soviets off guard, so they wanted to imitate the Germans to engage in blitzkrieg.

The two argued with each other and wasted some time in vain. In the end, Apaneseko was afraid that it would waste more time, so he had to make a promise to the political commissar. He would follow Comrade Stalin's tactical ideas and order a counterattack after understanding the situation.

In this way, the political commissar let Apanashenko go and let him understand the situation. He himself quickly contacted Stalin and reported the situation here truthfully.

One thing to explain is that the Soviet Union's military development was a rapid progress, and in just a few years it changed from a mob to a world-class strong army. However, in the early days of the war, the Soviet Union's army did not make much progress.

Not only are they lagging behind in weapons and equipment, but they are also relatively backward in communication facilities. Many troops do not have radio stations, and contact is basically based on people and combat is basically based on individuals. It is difficult to engage in any joint combat with friendly troops. Even if there is one, it is easy to miss the best opportunity.

Moreover, the telegram translation time is too long, and it takes about ten minutes to go back and forth. Of course, the speed is not slow, but compared with the radio on Su Dao, it is simply weak.

The main air force soon arrived at the first airport. Facing the densely packed enemy planes, the Soviet Air Force on the ground obviously did not expect such a situation, just like the Western Front battlefield. As soon as the war began, they faced the situation of losing all the air force.

"The lightning group arrived at Airport No. 5, and fighter jets covered it. The enemy troops on the ground were prevented from taking off, and bombing the bomber. The dive bomber searched for some exposed targets for a secondary attack."

The plane took the plane through the pop-up mirror and looked at the situation where it was dropped off at the airport and ordered one after another.

Immediately afterwards, various fleets entered the battle, and the fighter planes kept wandering in the air. Once Soviet fighters wanted to take off or were gliding, they would give them the most severe blow from behind.

The aviation bombs on the bomber kept landing in the airport, instantly blowing out large pits of the snow-white earth, and a lot of snow instantly turned into snow water.

For a time, the Soviet Air Force Base, named No. 5 Airport by the North Army Group, became a vast sea of ​​fire, with explosions, cries and shouts, and ground air defense firepower joined the battle group one after another. However, due to the lack of organization, many of them seemed a little free and casual. As soon as the fire was opened, they were killed by fearless dive bombers or fighters.

Although the fighter cannot dive, the bomb it carries under its belly is not a vegetarian, and it is no less powerful than the fearless one.

"It's time for us to go on stage. Remember our mission and surround the enemy and surround them. If anyone falls behind, don't act alone. Join other combat classes nearby and return to the team after the battle is over."

The veteran squad leader saw the platoon leader signaling the troops to set off, stood up, patted the snow on his butt, loaded the mp40 bullet on his chest, and called his soldiers and walked forward.

The Tank Army and the Armored Infantry Army were responsible for the frontal attack, and the remaining troops surrounded the two wings. This time, Li Chengxuan’s purpose was very simple, to use his own army to surround the Soviet army in front of him, to defeat them in one battle as much as possible, and to win more preparation time for the troops.

But then again, it is indeed more than enough for a group of troops to destroy the opponent's troops. With the support of 1,200 tanks and the number of air force required, he had no reason not to win this war.

Hu Xiaoquan could only hold his rifle, load the bullets, and then followed the squad leader's steps forward step by step. He joined the army for one and a half years. If he did not perform well before, he could be a squad leader. If he made some contributions, he would be an officer.

But Hu Xiaoquan felt that his life seemed not very good, and he didn't catch up with the good times. He had been a soldier for a year and a half, and now he is still a first-class soldier, one level higher than the newly recruited recruits.

And what's even more tragic is that his marksmanship is not the best in the class, so he is not the best in the position of sniper, and his reaction speed is not the fastest, nor is he the smartest one, so the newly added assaulter and firepower player is not the best in the position of him.

The tragic Hu Xiaoquan could only charge with a rifle and a grenade on his back, but Hu Xiaoquan had an advantage. Although he had said it before, no one believed it, so he didn't mention it later.

This battle seemed very simple, but Hu Xiaoquan felt it was very dangerous. There was a voice in the dark to tell him to cheer up, otherwise you would lose your life.

“Speed ​​up.”

After talking to the correspondent of the battalion headquarters for a few times, the company commander quickly shouted loudly.

Unknown troops can only follow the company commander to accelerate forward. They cannot take trucks in such combat. In addition, basically all trucks have been transferred to logistics and cannot come back for the time being, so they need to march for at least twenty kilometers and then enter the battle.
