Chapter 510: Bombing Abakan
There is not enough troops, but a position that can accommodate millions of people is arranged...
This time, it was not only the soldiers on the front line who were confused, but even Liu Ling, who was in charge of the rear and commanded the army to fight, was also confused.
He really couldn't think of what the Soviet Union used for?
What's the use of setting up such a position in Abakan? In fact, Abakan is not a must-attack place for the Northern Army Group. Although there is a large plain there, there is also reclaimed land, and it can be used directly after occupation.
But to put it bluntly, the traffic conditions in the Abakan area are really worrying. Even if they take over this place, they must invest huge amounts of money and strength to ensure that this place is the same as other areas.
In other words, the current occupation of Abakan has no effect at all, it is simply a burden.
However, the Soviet army had set up such a large position in the Abakan area, which was not allowed to be ignored by Liu Ling.
Although the economic conditions here are very average, they are very close to Krasnoyarsk. If they are left alone, it is impossible to ensure that the Soviet army in the Abakan area will go to attack the Northern Army Group without getting tired of it.
What made Liu Ling the most troubled was that once troops were drawn from other places, there would be no third-line battlefield that could completely wipe out the enemy, and it was very likely to enter a confrontation state. This was not the situation that Liu Ling wanted to see.
Fight? Now that the troops are not strong enough, it is impossible to guarantee victory on other fronts. If you don’t fight, Liu Ling was also very worried about placing such a bomb next to him.
What exactly should be done?
"Order the Air Force to bomb towns and periphery positions in the Abakan area."
After a long time, Liu Ling decided to test it first. If it really didn't work, he could only draw the 10th Army out.
The Third Army and the Seventh Army had to guard most of the occupied areas, and they had already seen their troops, and they had to prepare for the troops to receive the areas to be occupied. These two armies could not draw out any troops.
If any accidents really happen, the reserves in the Northeast will probably be sent. Of course, Liu Ling did not want to send the reserves too.
If this is the case, then he will not have any mobile force in his hands. Once the situation on the battlefield deteriorates, he will be helpless. Once one side is defeated, the entire front will not be able to be saved.
It took more than half a year to kill tens of thousands of soldiers to achieve the results that were finally achieved. Liu Ling was unwilling to watch them take them back by the Soviet army.
Now there are six front-line combat troops of the North Army Group, with nearly five million people, and there are more than 500,000 reserves in the rear, totaling more than 6 million people. If the logistics forces are included, they have basically moved closer to seven million people.
Although most of the logistics troops are old, weak, sick and disabled, they are also considered soldiers within the Chinese Empire, but this was later expanded. What about the previous logistics troops?
Those with slightly stronger combat power were either transferred to the reserve or directly supplemented other troops on the front line. The earliest logistics forces no longer existed.
Now, except for some auto soldiers, most of the other logistics troops in their hands are newly recruited from the Northeast region, and their age levels are also uneven. The largest soldiers are already in their forties, and the youngest is less than eighteen years old.
It can be said that the Northeast region has basically been emptied by them and no longer has the ability to continue to expand. If they cannot defeat the Soviet army in this way, then they have no other way except to continue to draw troops from the local area.
Bombing the positions in the Abakan area to attract the troops to build fortifications. If they ignore these destroyed fortifications, it is naturally the best. Once a large number of Soviet fortifications appear, Liu Ling could only transfer the 10th Army.
Until now, Liu Ling and Zhukov have been fighting for half a year. This is the first time that Liu Ling is confused about his mind, and it is also the first battle that has made Liu Ling so tangled.
The circular fortifications are tied up one by one. If the number of attacking troops is too small, it can be said that one will get stuck and there is no place to run when you go in. The least you want to see in the field battle is this kind of fortification. It is too laborious to attack.
The reason why I am so worried about ring fortifications is actually not without basis. In the early years, during the War of Resistance in China, Liu Ling witnessed its power with his own eyes in a small village in Zhejiang.
After entering that village, the Japanese army got lost within a few minutes. No matter how they walked, they could not find the right direction. Even with a compass, it would not work.
The Japanese army, who had originally planned to massacre, had to return on the same road. Since then, the Japanese army often passed by this small village, but never entered the village again and always walked around it.
According to locals, it was Zhuge Village, where Zhuge Liang lived, and the layout of the village was built according to the Bagua diagram. Except for the people in their village, outsiders would get lost when they entered.
That village is also the best village with the best public security. There is never a need to worry about thieves, because the thieves can't come out after entering. In other words, after entering, the villagers just need to wait at the entrance of the village. After a while, the thieves will come out to surrender.
Although the circular fortifications in front of him are far less powerful than the Bagua diagram, he dare not underestimate them. In front of an excellent general, he will use any small details. Once he falls into it, it will definitely be a hard battle and a fierce battle.
‘Buzz…’
Hundreds of bombers in the air flew forward slightly clumsy under the cover of fighters. From the ground, there was a large area of darkness in the air, and the scene was very spectacular.
In the Soviet Union, no one was curious about this scene in the air. The soldiers of the North Army Group had long been used to it. Although the Soviets were angry and afraid of it, they had no way of doing it.
They have tried hard. Although the Air Force is equipped with the latest fighter jets, it still cannot defeat the other side. In the past few months of air combat, it completely lost air supremacy. By now, the Soviet Air Force has basically become a decoration.
The newly produced fighter jets in the factory were also sent to the Western Front to confront the Germans. After all, they can still play a certain role there. But now, since the Germans changed into Hellcat fighter jets, the Soviet Air Force has once again become a tragedy.
Therefore, after seeing the Chinese Empire's air force, the Soviets' first reaction was to hide and try their best to escape this disaster.
The long-term resistance has made the Soviets feel a little tired of it psychologically. Although they have to resist, the Soviets are also afraid and worried about the huge death numbers.
So far, more than half of the Soviet Union's families have lost at least one man, and even more, two or more men have lost.
At this time, the family was completely a family named female. Except for children, all the work, farm work, factory workers, cooking and washing are needed. In addition, the family living conditions are getting worse and worse, and many Soviets are on the verge of collapse.
If this is just a seasoning, then another thing will become the last straw that overwhelms the Soviets. If not fully counted, one in ten thousand Soviet families no longer exist, and all their family members died in war.
Moreover, as the war continues, the growth rate will become faster and faster, because in addition to war, hunger is also the biggest problem they need to face. At the earliest, it was only one hundred thousand, and in just a few months, this number increased to one ten thousand.
This has caused some panic among the Soviet people. If it weren't for the forced suppression of the Soviet government and the Soviet people had not completely lost their will to resist, it would have probably surrendered long ago.
‘Boom! Boom! Boom!’
Aviation bombs of 500 kilograms were thrown down at an altitude of about 500 meters, and there was no need to aim at them. Once they entered the bomb drop zone, all the bombers were throwing bombs frantically.
Whether it was the small town of Abakan or the outer positions, they were trapped in a vast sea of fire for a moment. The Soviet soldiers who were patrolling were blown away without having time to dodge.
Houses were bombed into ruins, and whether they were hiding inside were ordinary people or Soviet soldiers, they were all destroyed together with their houses.
Although hundreds of bombers seemed to be throwing bombs in a mess, the key point was that there were nearly a thousand 500 kilogram bombs in the Abakan town above.
After the bomber left, the entire Abakan had become a ruin, and the houses that were still standing could be counted with one hand.
Feeling the terrifying trembling of the earth, the shells ruthlessly tear each inch of his air, soil, bunker, and life.
Sun Quanbing and others, who were hiding in the forest not far away, couldn't help but feel fear after seeing this scene. It was so terrible.
If it weren't for personal experience and seeing the effects of hundreds of bombers dropping bombs with their own eyes, Sun Quanbing and others would never know what kind of shock this kind of thing could bring to people?
It was coming and going in a hurry. In just over twenty minutes of bombing, the entire Abakan became a ruin, but the bomber left, as if nothing they did.
On those bombed positions, there were soldiers' wailing, and some uninjured soldiers checking the situation of the people around them.
