Wang Chunsheng was stunned for a moment when he saw several young men lying in a pool of blood not far away. He looked at the old squad leader in surprise. The corners of his mouth twitched and he was speechless for a while.
"I asked the Vietnamese soldiers to do this. Why, Chun Sheng, do you think I'm cruel?" The old squad leader turned away from his usual amiability, and a stern expression flashed across his face.
"He and the others are still children." Wang Chunsheng felt as if his heart was going to jump out of his chest.
"Just because they are all children, we can't leave any hidden dangers. Did you hear what he just said? He said, "When we grow up, we will all kill us all."" said the old squad leader.
One sentence was spoken slowly.
"Maybe, this is just what he said in anger. Maybe they will do it in the future." Wang Chunsheng's voice became lower and lower, and the last few words could no longer be said. The Chinese people still know that the hatred of killing their father is irreconcilable. These
Don’t the young man know? Wang Chunsheng turned around and looked at the indifferent expressions of his comrades in the class. He knew that his thoughts before joining the army were so naive. For the sake of civilization, justice and chivalry, they were just used to deceive the ignorant.
It's just a nonsense told by a girl and an ignorant boy. After going to the battlefield, there are only two things you can do, either kill or be killed, nothing else.
The old squad leader sighed slightly, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Chunsheng, today is your first time on the battlefield. As your squad leader, the first thing I want to teach you is to fight with your comrades on the battlefield except for your comrades.
The rest of the people are your enemies. It is not impossible to capture the enemy, but that can only be done after making sure that the other party is not a threat. Do you know what the consequences will be if those teenagers were released just now?
None of us knows that in a few years one of our compatriots will be killed by them, and these people may include our descendants. Our ancestors even taught us to cut the weeds to get rid of the roots. Have you forgotten all this?
Okay, you will gradually understand this later, now pick up your gun and move on."
While the First Army Group led by Liu Yecheng was engaged in a fierce battle in Irkutsk, Vasilevsky also led the main force of the Southeastern Front to begin preparations for a breakout.
In an observation post 500 meters away from the Soviet outer position of Nizhny Uginsk, Sun Liren bent down and put his eyes in front of the observation mirror to carefully observe the Soviet defensive position. Behind him were Qiu Qingquan, Liao Yaoxiang, and Li
Daxi and a dozen other senior generals also raised their telescopes to observe the situation ahead.
The Soviet positions in front of them were composed of open forts, bunkers, barbed wire fences and countless communication trenches made of thick logs and earth structures. The depth of these positions reached 40 to 60 kilometers.
They form three thick protective rings around Nizhny Uginsk. These civil fortifications, which are constructed with tens of centimeters of soil and thick logs, can protect the fortifications to the greatest extent during shelling and bombing.
No soldier will doubt this, but the premise of all this is that the artillery shells must not hit directly.
Sun Liren took his eyes away from the observation glass and stood up slowly, turned around and asked the generals behind him, "Everyone, everyone has seen the Soviet defenses. You may wish to speak freely about how to break through the enemy's defenses."
Liao Yaoxiang, commander of the 46th Infantry Division, thought for a while and said: "Although these Soviet fortifications are forty to sixty kilometers deep, as long as we concentrate artillery fire to open a hole and then let the armored troops tear it open to expand the results,
As long as there are three days, their defensive positions can be dismembered and divided, and then the overall situation can be determined."
Qiu Qingquan took a step forward and said loudly: "Our Third Armored Division can fight in the front line, and we will not give up until we break through the Soviet position."
After graduating from Chahar Armor Academy, Qiu Qingquan was appointed as the commander of the Third Armored Division. However, by the time he became the division commander, there were almost no wars to fight in the country, and Qiu Qingquan could only sit in the country and watch with drooling eyes.
The Marine Corps fought so fiercely in Sakhalin and other places that he was drooling. Now that he was finally going to fight with Lao Maozi, and his armored division finally had a place to use, he had long been itching in his heart. Moreover, the armored soldier in front of him was born
Isn't it because Commander Sun was the first to conquer the world with President Su and made countless military exploits that he was promoted to a second-level general and took up the position of Army Group Commander? If he can do it himself, why can't he?
At this time, Guan Linzheng, the army group next to him, put forward a different opinion, "Sir Sun, colleagues, I think the most important thing now is not how to capture the Soviet position, but how to prevent the Soviet army from breaking through."
The expressions of the people who "break through" couldn't help but become a little weird.
"Yes." Guan Linzheng nodded and said: "The Soviet troops now in our encirclement are not old, weak, sick or disabled. Although we wiped out and captured nearly 600,000 people in Irkutsk and Krasnoyarsk,
The people in the encirclement are all the elites of the Soviet army. They will definitely not stay there and wait to die. Now the defenders of Irkutsk have been almost completely wiped out. Commander Liu's First Army Group has been defeated for three days.
We can get here within a few days. By then Vasilevsky will not be able to fly even if he puts on his wings, so he will definitely find a way to break through in these two days. And we have divided our troops of more than 400,000 to march westward.
Whether the remaining one million troops can withstand the desperate 700,000 Soviet troops and prevent them from breaking out is the biggest problem at the moment."
Everyone fell silent. The problem Guan Linzheng mentioned was reasonable and very likely to happen. If it were him, he would not sit here and wait for the enemy's millions of troops to surround him and eat him. He would definitely try his best to break out.
Sun Liren also nodded heavily and said: "What Chief of Staff Guan said makes sense. I will take some more reconnaissance planes for reconnaissance in a while to figure out the movements of the Soviet army. If they want to break out, which direction will they break out from? These are all
Need to find out."
"Mr. Sun, Chief Guan, I think we can't just wait for the Soviet army to take the initiative to break out. We can also take the initiative to attack, disrupt their breakout deployment, and by the way, we can also explore the reality of the Soviet army." The 41st Division stood aside.
Li Daxi, the division commander, also added.
In this way, everyone fleshed out the plan with each other's words.
"Target Soviet bunker No. 03, fire from 2865 meters away"
Tens of minutes later, with a command and several loud noises, the 155mm howitzer barrel placed on the artillery position on the 327th Highland spit out a ball of orange flames from the rear muzzle.
The sixteen howitzers of the artillery regiment fired sixteen forty-five kilogram howitzer projectiles, which then flew towards the target they had aimed at at a speed of 760 meters per second.
"shelling"
The Russian troops hiding in the civil fortifications immediately roared loudly after seeing several clouds of smoke rising from the 327 Heights. As soon as the roar fell, the sound of the shells breaking through the air immediately reached the ears of the Soviet troops in the trenches or within the fortifications.
, the Soviet troops closest to the field fortifications hurriedly penetrated into the field fortifications to avoid the Chinese shelling.
"Whoosh"
After the 155mm grenade with a whistling sound of breaking through the ground hit the Soviet fortifications, the projectile did not explode immediately due to the use of a delayed fuse. The 45-kilogram projectile flying at high speed passed through several
The ten centimeter thick covering of soil shattered the leg-thick wooden beams. The Soviet troops inside the fortifications could almost hear the cracking sound of the wooden beams being impacted and deformed after the shells penetrated the soil.
"boom"
Accompanied by a dull explosion, the artillery shells that penetrated the earth layers and wooden beams exploded inside the fortifications. The earth coverings and broken beams of the civil fortifications that originally seemed to be extremely strong were thrown into the sky by the violent explosion.
, the wreckage of the Soviet army in the bunker was also lifted into the air at least ten meters high.
As the first gunshot sounded, more and more artillery groups joined the chorus. In addition to the 155 howitzers, 75mm, 105mm and even 207mm
Military heavy artillery also joined the attack. As the shells fell into the Soviet positions one after another, the entire Soviet defense line was alerted. Vasilevsky, who was far away in the Nizhniyutinsk headquarters, also received a call from the front position.
Telephone.
"What, the Chinese National Defense Force launched a large-scale artillery bombardment on the position and even used heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 200. I don't care what caliber artillery the Chinese in front used. Your mission is to firmly hold the position, even if you die, you will die.
On the battlefield, if anyone dares to abandon the position without authorization, don't blame me for sending you to a military court." Huashalevsky put down the phone with a bang, a look of anxiety flashed in his eyes.
Now the troops are urgently mobilizing to prepare for a breakout, but the Chinese who have been silent these days suddenly started shelling. Are they aware of their plan to break out?
"Comrade Commander, our observation post discovered that a large number of Chinese reconnaissance planes appeared above us. They are constantly hovering over our positions and cities to take photos and reconnaissance."
"Reporting to Comrade Commander, Comrade Mamonov sent a farewell message. He reported at the farewell point that Irkutsk had been completely lost. Almost all the 380,000 Red Army soldiers were killed. Now the Chinese are far away from his headquarters.
It's less than two hundred meters away. After sending this telegram, he will lead the guard company to launch a final desperate attack on the Chinese."
Bad news came to Vasilevsky one after another. The exhausted commander of the Southeastern Front, who had not closed his eyes all day and night, could no longer support his tired body and sat heavily on the chair.
