Flags were flying fiercely, chariots were rumbling, and the Viking Division continued to pursue the Soviet 24th Infantry Division and other troops from behind. After a small-scale conflict, the Viking Division even captured the flag of the Soviet 24th Infantry Division.
The Soviet army stipulates that if the military flag is lost, the unit's designation will be revoked. After learning about it, Felix laughed and said to Bowen: "If the Soviet army was trying to lure the enemy, would they lose their military flag? It seems now
, the Soviet army is on the verge of collapse, as long as we work harder, we will definitely be able to completely annihilate the 24th Soviet Infantry Division!"
"But General, the 24th Infantry Division is the most elite ace unit in the Soviet army. How could it throw away its flag so easily? There must be some fraud involved!" Chief of Staff Bown said.
When Felix heard Bowen's words, his heart suddenly rose. Bowen had his own way of commanding operations, and he could not ignore his thoughts. Then he asked: "If the Soviet army is cheating, then what is their purpose?"
What is it?"
Bowen said: "Lure us out of the salient, then gather together and annihilate them to seize the salient outside Moscow."
Felix said: "The Soviets are so bold and dare to touch the brains of our Viking division?"
Bowen said: "General, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and anything can happen."
Felix pondered for a moment and said: "It would be a pity to give up the opportunity to completely wipe out the 24th Infantry Division."
"General, our mission is to ensure the safety of the salient." Bowen said.
Felix sighed and said, "Then... retreat."
"Report, our division was suddenly attacked by Soviet artillery fire and suffered heavy losses. The frontline commander requested further instructions." An officer hurriedly came over and said.
Felix's face darkened, knowing that Bowen had really told him right, and that the Soviet army was using a tactic to lure the enemy.
"Immediately order the entire army to retreat and return to the starting point!"
"yes!"
"boom!"
"Boom boom!"
Outside Moscow, the German troops of the Viking Division and the other three divisions were heavily bombarded by Soviet heavy artillery during their pursuit, and cars and armored vehicles were overturned.
"Oh my God, the Soviet artillery!" a German soldier shouted.
"Oh my God, run!" The German army suffered heavy losses under the overwhelming Soviet attack. Especially the Viking Division became the key target of the Soviet artillery.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" the German commander shouted, commanding the troops to retreat in a hurry.
"Ula!"
In the distance, the roar of mountains and tsunamis resounded through the night. The Soviet army, which had been fleeing, turned around and launched an attack on the German army. This time the attacking Soviet army showed a completely different fighting will and combat effectiveness than before.
, launched round after round of attacks on the German army.
Although the Viking Division had strong combat effectiveness, the rhythm of the transition from attack to defense changed too quickly. In addition, there was no position on the road that could block the enemy. After an hour of fierce fighting with the Soviet army, the Viking Division finally collapsed and countless soldiers were abandoned.
Almost all heavy weapons rushed towards the protrusion.
At this moment, a Soviet corps-level unit launched an attack on the empty German salient.
"Tap-tat-tat..." A German general-purpose machine gun roared condescendingly.
"call out!"
A rocket's long tail flame streaked across, leaving a trail of white smoke, and then exploded in the German machine gun nest, directly blowing up the general-purpose machine gun and three or four German troops.
"Ula!"
After clearing away the German machine guns, the Soviet army once again let out a roar like a mountain roar and a tsunami, and charged upward...
"General, retreat quickly, otherwise it will be too late!" Bowen shouted.
"We can't withdraw. If we lose the salient, our army will lose its forward base. It will be difficult to capture Moscow!" Felix said.
Bowen said: "General, do you want to become a prisoner of the Soviets?"
Felix sighed. Including the Viking division, the main forces of the four divisions in the salient went to pursue the Soviet army. There were only two regiments left in the salient, which were unable to stop the Soviet attack. In this battle, he
If he was really defeated, if he had listened to Bowen earlier, he would not have been defeated today. How could he face Kruger and the Führer?
Thinking of this, Felix pulled out a pistol from his waist and pointed it at his temple.
"General!" Bowen snatched Felix's pistol and said, "General, as long as we don't die, there is hope. We will fight back sooner or later. We must live!"
Felix suddenly felt like a deflated ball, and left his headquarters with Bowen dejectedly...
Moscow, Xu Rui is sitting leisurely in Xu Rui's office, with his legs crossed and a cup of coffee in his hand, taking a sip from time to time, looking leisurely and contented.
At this moment, the phone on Xu Rui's desk rang. Xu Rui answered the phone. The call was from Zhukov. Zhukov happily said to Xu Rui on the phone: "Comrade Xu Rui, I have some good news for you."
, our army has defeated four German divisions, including the Viking division, and occupied the salient outside Moscow. Now, the entire Moscow no longer needs to be threatened by the German army."
Xu Rui said: "Congratulations, Comrade Zhukov, for finally removing the threat from Moscow. You can dispatch troops to the direction of Stalingrad, and I can leave with peace of mind."
Zhukov said on the phone: "No, Comrade Xu Rui, the Soviet-German war cannot be without you. I will make my case to Comrade Stalin and let you stay."
Xu Rui said: "Let's forget it. I said this is the last time I will help you. It's time to say goodbye. My Langya and I will take the flight tonight to Vladivostok."
Zhukov was silent for a moment, and finally said helplessly: "Well, since you have made up your mind, I will not force it. Comrade Xu Rui, I hope we will have the opportunity to continue fighting together in the future."
After putting down the phone, Xu Rui took a sip of coffee, then put the cup on the desk, stood up slowly, and looked out the window.
It was time to end. From January to June, he and Lang Ya had stayed on the Soviet battlefield for five months. The ice and snow when they arrived had turned into green grass. During these five months, in his own
Under the command of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union went from a precarious situation to a stable situation. Although it was still at a disadvantage overall, it had nothing to do with it and was entirely caused by the Soviet people's own suicide.
The current Soviet Union is much weaker than it was in its original history, but it will not be destroyed. The Germans have also been weakened a lot. The Soviet Union and Germany are like two exhausted tigers, constantly biting each other and draining the blood from their bodies.
Flow away bit by bit.
The current situation should be the most ideal for China. If the Soviet Union is too strong, then China will not be able to get back lost territories such as Outer Mongolia and Sakhalin after the war. If the Soviet Union is too weak, then China will not be able to get back its lost territories such as Outer Mongolia and Sakhalin.
Withstand the German attack.
And now the Soviet Union has become weaker than in its original history because of its own suicide. It has completely reached a stalemate with the German army. This result is exactly what it wants. During this trip to the Soviet Union, it attacked Germany and helped
The Soviet Union had stabilized the front, and its merits were considered complete. It was time to go back.
Glancing again at the tall tower of the Kremlin not far away, Xu Rui took a deep breath and thought to himself, goodbye, Soviet Union, goodbye, Kremlin, goodbye, Zhukov!
Four DC-3 transport planes slowly took off from the Moscow Airport and flew towards Vladivostok. Along the way, the Langyas were in a bad mood. Langya had made such a great contribution, but in the end he became a scapegoat and was used by the Soviets.
I rushed back to the country and couldn't let go of this, which was really frustrating.
However, Xu Rui is quite happy. He continues to fight against the Germans in the Soviet Union just to fight for the Soviets. The better he fights, the stronger the Soviets will be. Instead of doing this, it is better to return to China as soon as possible. Besides, he will not be empty-handed when he returns.
, during this trip to the Soviet Union, I got several divisions of equipment for the Eighth Route Army, and I still had Stalin’s autographed document in my hand, promising to return Sakhalin Island and let Outer Mongolia cancel its independence. This was a complete achievement of all my goals.
Having reached this point, there is no need to stay any longer. Returning to China is the best choice for myself and Langya.
As for Zhukov's efforts to retain him, let him go to hell. I can't conquer the world for you, the Soviet Union. You, the Soviets, will have to solve the future problems on your own.
Seeing that Xu Rui was in a good mood, Leng Tiefeng felt a little puzzled and asked: "Old Xu, we have been kicked out of the Soviet Union, why are you still so happy?"
Xu Rui said: "I feel homesick. I can see my wife when I go home."
Leng Tiefeng looked at Xu Rui with a look like I don't know you, and said: "Old Xu, when did you become so homesick?"
Xu Rui said: "Veteran, we have been out for so long, it's time to go home. We can't help the Soviets fight for a lifetime."
Leng Tiefeng changed his mind and said: "You old Xu, I understand what you mean. You don't want to help the Soviets fight anymore, so you want to return to China. Even Stalin was taken advantage of by you."
"Old Xu, tell me the truth. When we assassinated the German head of state, did you already know that the person we killed was a substitute?"
"What do you think?" Xu Rui smiled but said nothing.
Leng Tiefeng's thoughts flashed in his mind, and he thought that if this was really the case, then all the situations were within Lao Xu's expectation. Lao Xu must have been prepared for the result of being driven back to China by Stalin. If he insisted on winning the war, Stalin would definitely not
He was willing to let Xu Rui return to China, but now that the war was defeated, Stalin became angry with Lao Xu and drove Langya and his team out of the Soviet Union. Everything was within Lao Xu's plan. Even the shrewd Stalin fell into his scheme.
.
"Old Xu, I really can't understand you more and more. What are you thinking about every day in your head that you can play such a big game of chess?" Leng Tiefeng said.
Xu Rui said: "Veteran, I didn't say anything. It's all my own thoughts."
Leng Tiefeng wondered to himself, had he guessed wrong?
Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning in his mind. How did Lao Xu know what he was thinking? This guy, at this moment, was still trying to get away with himself...
