Everyone commented on the success or failure of the Kiev Battle. In the end, most people believed that the Soviet Union’s strength would plummet after losing Kiev and the Southwest Front.
The battle to defend Moscow will be a fatal blow. Once Moscow is also lost, the Soviet regime may be in danger.
Those who hold the above statement are led by Jiang Dingwen, commander of the First War Zone, while Yan Laoxi is still hesitant.
Of course, there are also objections.
People led by Commander Liu believe that the Soviet Union's territory is too vast. Although the war seems to be unfavorable and a large amount of territory has been lost, these territories are not too big for the Soviet Union, which has more than 20 million square kilometers of land.
There are many, and the Soviet Union has a population of nearly 200 million and a huge number of soldiers. It is unrealistic for Germany to defeat the Soviet Union in the short term.
Although the number of pro-Soviet faction headed by Commander Liu is relatively small, Commander Liu, who graduated from the Frunze Military Academy, is well-known throughout China in terms of both theoretical level and practical experience. For a time, both sides talked around the sandbox.
Dry tongue.
No one on either side could argue with the other, and many people turned red in the face during the fierce quarrel. Li Yunlong even almost staged a full-scale martial arts showdown with a colonel from the First War Zone.
Jiang Dingwen, Yan Xishan, Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo, Commander Liu, Political Commissar Ping and others naturally did not want to go into battle shirtless and argue like Li Yunlong due to their status, but they each picked up their pointers and pointed at the sand table and argued in low voices. For a while, the entire combat hall was like a vegetable.
The market is generally lively.
Finally, someone said, "Commander Gao, you haven't expressed your opinion yet. Who do you think will win and who will lose in the next battle between Soviet Union and Germany?"
Gao Hongming, who was watching the excitement with his arms folded, didn't expect that the fire could burn his head. Looking at the eyes that were all looking at him, he said modestly: "My fellow officers and colleagues, I am just a small regiment leader.
I have no role to play in this, so please just let me go."
Sun Chu smiled and said: "Brother Gao, you don't think it's too shabby to say this. Let's not talk about the distance. Let's talk about the battle of Zhongtiao Mountain a few months ago. You led the Third Army and the Eighth Route Army with 30,000 to 40,000 people.
Zhongtiaoshan fought with the Japs for a full month, killing and injuring tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers, while our own casualties were less than 10,000. Looking at China, this kind of record is unique to Scorpion Shit.
Not to mention that you severely damaged the Japanese 14th Division and 108th Division in the Battle of Qingyuan River last year. I’m afraid you don’t know that, right? Just half a month ago, the Japanese reward for you had reached 100.
Wan Dayang, this reward is second only to Chairman Chiang.
If you want to say that Captain Gao is not qualified to interfere, I, Old Sun, will not agree to it for the first time. Do you think so?"
"The enemy..."
"That's right, Captain Gao, please tell everyone your opinions."
After Sun Chu said this, the people present remembered that although the commander Gao in front of them had never attended a military academy, he had made the Japanese complain incessantly in less than two years since his debut.
The First Army stationed in Shanxi also changed from its previous arrogance. Most of the time, it stayed in its strongholds and cities and rarely dispatched. This was all due to this person. For a while, everyone started to boo.
Everyone looked at Gao Hongming eagerly, but little did they know that our tall leader was also complaining secretly in his heart.
His family knows his own affairs, even though he has been able to lead the Liantai militia in the past two years and caused heavy losses to the Japanese, but to be honest, if he shows his true command ability, let alone those with professional backgrounds such as Commander Liu, Brigadier Chen, and Sun Chu
Compared with generals who have experienced hundreds of battles, even Li Yunlong can stay a few blocks away from him.
In the final analysis, he relied on only one thing to fight the Japanese, and that was to overwhelm others with force. What he relied on was ferocious artillery fire, absolute firepower superiority and air superiority to crush his opponents.
This is like two people fighting. One person has practiced martial arts for many years and is very proficient in martial arts moves. The other person is unfamiliar with boxing skills, but he is extremely talented and powerful. The most terrible thing is that he has no martial arts ethics.
If you hold a big knife, if you hit it with one strike, it doesn't matter what master you are, you will still be finished.
But now he has to explain the essence of boxing in front of a group of martial arts masters. Isn't this just a trick?
I wanted to refuse, but I was lifted up into the air by everyone, and now it is impossible to even think about it.
However, Gao Hongming's leadership of the regiment these years was not for nothing. After thinking about it for a few times, he finally came up with a solution.
He called Dabao and whispered instructions into his ear for a while, and Dabao quickly followed the order and left.
"Everyone... I'm sorry, please wait a moment." Seeing everyone's confused looks, Gao Hongming apologized to everyone.
Everyone was not in a hurry, but looked curious. They all wanted to hear what this famous anti-Japanese general, who had become more and more famous in the past two years, had to say.
Soon, Dabao led more than a dozen soldiers to bring boxes of things, and then began to arrange them indoors. Soon a small screen and a projector were set up.
Yan Xishan couldn't help but laugh and said: "Nephew Gao Xian, we all want to listen to your opinions, but you want to invite us to watch a movie. Isn't this inappropriate?"
Gao Hongming showed a mysterious smile: "Sir, please be patient for a moment, I'll be fine later."
Soon, everything was ready in less than twenty minutes. All the windows in the command hall were covered with curtains and the door was closed. The room suddenly fell into darkness, and soon a beam of light hit the screen.
As the screen lit up, a deep voice came from the speaker, "In June 1941, with Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union, a grand war began. On July 7, 1941, Long
The German Army Group South commanded by Marshal de Stetter invested 40 divisions and began to attack Kiev. His opponent was the Soviet Southwest Front commanded by General Kirponos."
As the explanation sounded, tanks were charging towards the enemy positions on the vast plains under the cover of artillery groups. The scene was particularly spectacular. The battlefield was filled with smoke and fire, and black streaks.
Thick smoke rose into the sky, and it looked like the mountains and plains were filled with densely packed soldiers and armored fighting vehicles.
Seeing this, everyone's expressions changed.
Although none of the people present were rookies who had just graduated from the military academy, especially many generals and officers who could even be said to have experienced hundreds of battles, even generals who had been fighting for more than ten or even decades had never seen
Having experienced a large-scale armored charge like this, with tens of thousands of soldiers charging together, such a scene was extremely shocking even to them, let alone some young officers.
