Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Pu Yin's answer to this question is simpler: "If I say that the army did not blow up the reservoir, no one will believe it now. After all, all the evidence seems to be against us, but what I want to say is that blowing up the reservoir is harmful to us. Is it good? Could it be that our mechanized troops like to walk on muddy roads? Or our soldiers like to bathe in water? According to the principle of whoever benefits the most and who is the murderer in criminology, I think it’s a bit unfair to say that we are the murderers now It's too early. The truth of the matter may come out soon, and time will tell everything." Speaking of this, he put on his military cap, then smiled and waved his hands: "Everyone, the answer will be revealed soon!"

What he said made all the reporters present feel mysterious. They really didn't know what the young commander said to reveal the answer.After Pu Yin said this, he didn't speak again, and hurried away under the protection of a large number of guards, leaving a lot of question marks for the reporters.

Soon, this sentence appeared in newspapers of all sizes in the world: "The answer is about to be revealed! Pu Yin, the supreme commander of the Dragon Army in the Sino-Soviet War, is fully prepared..." Obviously, those reporters were very concerned about Zoya who Pu Yin tried to explain. The incident and the Istria reservoir incident were not taken to heart.In other words, even if they take it to heart, they dare not announce it due to the pressure of a certain country.For this, Pu Yin deeply understands.He deeply knows that the so-called justice and axioms are all bullshit in front of the interests of the country.Justice and morality are only used when they need to be used, but in normal times they are just tools to fool the people.But he still has to say that, although not many people will listen to him.What he expresses is only a position of the empire, and in the end it still depends on fighting, because everything is a manifestation of strength.Other issues are not very important, only strength is the most important.Only when your own strength is strong, the other party will be afraid of you.Therefore, the most urgent task is to lead the troops to victory in the war against the Soviet Union.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, it is not very optimistic. The most important thing is that the situation on the front line is still very bad.

The flood in the Istria Reservoir not only formed a natural barrier in front of Moscow, tightly blocking the advance route of the Dragon Army, but also surrounded the troops of the Dragon Army advancing to Istria. .These dragon armies could only stop their advance because the back road was cut off.To be honest, although Pu Yin had made a correct judgment that the Istria Reservoir might be blown up by the opponent, in fact, the troops below still didn't pay enough attention to it.Many officers in the Dragon Army believed that the Soviets would not do such things that harm others and benefit themselves.So much so that when the flood really flooded, their preparations were not sufficient, and the troops on the front line were suddenly plunged into the ocean.The rear of the forward troops was cut off.However, in fact, their losses were not very large, mainly because the flood came suddenly but not violently.Because the entire Moscow region is a gentle plain, the water in the Istria Reservoir comes and goes quickly, and there is almost no stop.Therefore, the Dragon Army did not appear to have the entire army swept away by the flood.Of course, there were also casualties.Reports from front-line troops.In this sudden flood, the front-line troops lost a total of about 315 people, of which 73 were killed, 130 were injured, and 112 were missing.Compared with the hundreds of thousands of casualties of the first-line troops, their losses are much smaller.But Long Jun still faces many problems.

The first is the loss of equipment. The flood turned most of the land into a flood country.At the same time, the mechanized units of the Dragon Army who were trapped inside completely lost their mobility. Their tanks, trucks and half-track personnel carriers were all deeply stuck in the mud and could not move.According to the information obtained from the front line, those heavy weapons could not get out of the thick mud ground at all, and could only stay there moldy and rusty.

In addition to the equipment loss of the armored forces, the biggest loss is the logistics supply system of the Dragon Army.Since the expressway network in the Soviet Union is very limited, it cannot support the needs of the Dragon Army's front-line operations, and the airlift capacity here is also very weak, which is just a drop in the bucket for the large troops of the Dragon Army.Therefore, most of the supplies of the Long Army depended on the railway line, and after the train transported the supplies to the designated stations on the front line, they were transferred by car.For this reason, many units of the Dragon Army, especially the logistics depots of their armored units, are located in areas relatively close to the front line.When the flood came this time, many railway stations where materials were piled up suffered disaster. The flood not only washed away the roadbed of the railway, displaced the tracks, and temporarily stopped the trains.At the same time, it also rushed into the cargo yard where ammunition materials were temporarily piled up.For the convenience of transportation.Many freight yards are set at relatively low positions.The arrival of the flood caused those lower freight yards to be completely flooded.Biscuits and sausages in metal tins were fine, but shells and machine parts in crates were a big problem, especially the propellant for those shells.

Faced with such a situation, Pu Yin had no choice but to mobilize troops while fighting against the Soviets through speech.The most important issue before us is to reorganize the troops.In order to prevent those troops that have already fallen into the quagmire from being annihilated.Pu Yin can only withdraw all these troops from the original front line, and reorganize a new line of defense in a place where there is no quagmire behind.Under his personal intervention, the troops of the 6 armored divisions and 3 infantry divisions that had been mired in the original front line began to retreat, and then moved to the rear.

In addition to gathering the equipment of the frontline troops, another problem is the logistical supplies that have been damp.The supply of the Central Army Group of the Dragon Army has a very dangerous figure, especially the shortage of ammunition is very serious, and many of the artillery of the Dragon Army have only half of the base ammunition.In order to save the situation, Pu Yin had no choice but to transfer a batch of ammunition to the southern and northern army groups to meet the needs of the front-line troops. The railways from Grad to Moscow and from Smolensk to Moscow must be completely restored on May 5.Under his strict orders, the efficiency of the Dragon Army engineering troops was very high, and soon they completed the railway from Smolensk to Moscow.

At the same time, at the Beijing Olympic Sports Center, a massive military summary meeting is being held.

Not only representatives from the party, government, and army from various regions of the empire participated in this meeting, but also the four fronts of the empire, including all senior officers from the three military branches of the army, sea and air. This is the largest meeting held by the empire since the war between China and the Soviet Union. military council.

At this meeting, Imperial Emperor Guan Xuqing attended in person.On the same day in Moscow, the Supreme Congress of the Soviet Union was also held in the Kremlin. Coincidentally, Stalin, who had never been seen before, will also attend this meeting.

At the Beijing Olympic Stadium, Yang Rui, Minister of Culture and Propaganda of the Empire, was the first to speak. His appearance immediately attracted the attention of many people.He proposed a new war proposition: a war of attrition.

Every detail of this conference was like acting. In order to achieve an intuitive effect, the audience wore civilian clothes instead of uniforms. They either sang, shouted their approval, or praised each other. They all cooperated very well.Yang Rui on the podium was more like acting than giving a speech. What he said was not as important as his skills. He used his demagogic speech skills to mobilize the audience's emotions to the highest point.When he asked: "Do you want a total war? If necessary, do you want to fight a more comprehensive and thorough war than can be imagined today," the audience present shouted in unison: "Yes! " When he asked: "Do you accept the fact that anyone who damages the war effort will lose his head?" The audience roared and all agreed.

"Our purpose is nothing more than to support each other and build a strong leadership group around the emperor. For example, if one thing is proposed to the emperor from various angles, the emperor will sometimes waver when making a decision .Sometimes the way he reacts to others is not consistent.It goes without saying that this cause is greater than any of us.The people who helped the Emperor win his reforms should now help him win his war. "

"Now let us welcome His Majesty the Emperor to speak to us!"

Amid thunderous applause, Guan Xuqing appeared at the Olympic Stadium.He was wearing a uniform of a special honorary marshal, holding a golden dagger tightly in his left hand, and holding an armed belt in his right hand.Soon, he came to the very center of the venue, in front of the temporary podium.

"My dear friends, generals, ladies and gentlemen!" Guan Xuqing's opening remarks were very simple, completely different from Kaiser Wilhelm II's provocative opening remarks.

"Everyone, I believe you already know about our series of actions in the Soviet Union. In last year's winter operations, we suffered certain losses. However, we quickly recovered from that brutal blow. We The army quickly stabilized the unfavorable situation, withstood the enemy's crazy counterattack, and continued to extend the front for 100 kilometers, until it hit the city of Moscow..."

In the Kremlin, Stalin also walked to the front of the podium amidst thunderous applause, and he said slowly: "Last year we were attacked by China suddenly, and the militarists headed by Guangxu launched a surprise attack against us like perfidy. In the previous period of time, we suffered huge losses. However, we soon stabilized the situation. After a series of counterattacks, the enemy's forces were shaken and suffered a huge blow last winter. The failure. More than 100 million dragon troops were completely defeated under the attack of the Moscow military and civilians. However, these Chinese were not reconciled. They tried their best to strangle our advanced socialist country here. For this reason, they even Inhumanely blowing up the dam of the Istria Reservoir, which caused serious casualties to our innocent civilians. However, this also caused a lot of trouble for the Chinese. Because the ruthless river water not only hurt us The civilians are also blocking their way forward, and those Chinese who are not willing to fail have only one way to choose here..."

"Moscow, we must completely flatten this huge protrusion!" After the preliminary preparations, Guan Xuqing's voice gradually increased.When he said this, everyone understood the official purpose of the meeting. "What's more important is that 80% of the mobile forces of the Soviets are concentrated here. As long as these troops are eliminated, we will be able to win the final victory."

"The enemy will definitely concentrate its key forces near Moscow!" Stalin's suffocating tone echoed in the venue. "Although those eastern bandits are more cunning, they must occupy the Moscow region. Because this is not only a huge salient, but also a good battlefield. All our troops can be concentrated here. They want to To seize the initiative on the battlefield must destroy us, and to destroy our main force must attack Moscow."

"Taking Moscow is our goal. We have twice as many tanks as the Soviets. We have three times as many planes and twice as many artillery as the Soviets. I really can't think of why we failed." Guan Xuqing said with burning eyes .

"That's right. China has twice as many tanks as us, and they have more planes and artillery than us, but we have 90 people, while the militarists only have 60 people including their servants .90 vs. 60 we have an advantage!"

"There are a lot of Soviets, but our fighting power is stronger. The soldiers of the Empire are the most elite troops in the world. I never worry that we will lose."

"We are not only fighting by ourselves, we can also get help from peace-loving people all over the world in this battle. The Chinese are already isolated and helpless in the world. Their inhumane practice has been cast aside by the whole world!"

"Looking around the world, few countries have come to help them, and we don't need help from others. We still have plenty of time left. Now is our best chance. As long as the Soviet Union can be eliminated, China will never We will reach the pinnacle of the world!" He paused here, and then shouted loudly: "Target! Moscow!"

On May 1929, 5, the Moscow region was covered with dark clouds, and thunder rumbled from time to time in the dull and hot air.At 29:4 p.m., the first round of battle broke out between the 1st Armored Army and the 16th Army of the Suvoronezh Front in the southern part of the salient, which is the theater Chen Jitang was in charge of.

The intensity of the battle escalated to white-hot from the very beginning.The weather and visibility were excellent that day, so the Chinese Air Force first launched a violent air strike on the Soviet positions.The 8th Air Force, responsible for the aviation attack and escort tasks on the southern front, dispatched 324 sorties that day, including 212 dive bombers.The Chinese bomber force focused on the position of the 67th Guards Infantry Division of the Red Army, because the position here is very prominent.If the armored troops of the Dragon Army need to break through here, they must go here first, so in order to be able to capture this crucial salient, the Dragon Army decided to take it at all costs.

So, in just 10 minutes, the division's position dropped 2500 Chinese-made high-explosive bombs, cluster bombs and incendiary bombs.Of course, the Soviet Air Force immediately retaliated. The planes they took off shot down three planes of the 8th Air Force.

While the Chinese air force launched its air strikes, the Dragon Army ground forces launched battalion-sized offensives aimed at clearing the advancing Soviet positions and capturing the required observation posts for tomorrow's main attack.The Chinese 52nd Army first launched an attack to attract the attention of the Soviet Army; then, the 52th Armored Army, located on the right flank of the 48nd Army, began to take major actions.Those who entered the battle included the 3rd and 11th Armored Divisions of the Dragon Army and some elite regiment battalions. The first opponent they encountered was the forward security forces of the 52nd and 67th Guards Infantry Divisions of the Soviet Union near Draguskoye.

Although the scale of the battle is small, it is quite intense.East of Draguskoye, the advance battalion of the 11th Armored Division successfully cleared a camp position of the Soviet 52nd Guards Rifle Division; while west of Draguskoye, the 3rd Battalion and the 3th Armored Infantry The 394st Battalion of the Corps was stubbornly resisted by the 1nd Battalion of the Soviet Army.Under the fire of Soviet anti-tank guns and mortars, the Dragon Army suffered heavy losses.About one-third of the 2th company of the participating troops was killed or injured.It wasn't until 15 o'clock that the Dragon Army achieved its goal.

在距红军主要防御地带3公里处一个叫做布托沃的小村，龙军先遣营以及第11装甲师分队遭到的抵抗也很激烈。在这里作战的苏军是第67近卫步兵师第199团第营的加强排，他们打退了约1个团的中国步兵以及50辆坦克的反复进攻，把强大的对手牵制了78个小时。

A Chinese soldier who participated in the war described such a scene in his diary: "Our attack was met with tenacious resistance by the Soviet army. We didn't know that the Soviets had placed so many landmines here. Large and small, All kinds of landmines were planted in front of us. One of our officers was blown to pieces by a landmine as soon as he entered the minefield. Faced with this situation, we could only lie on the spot and not move Waiting for the support of the engineers. Now the entire battlefield is full of gunpowder smoke, and everything is shrouded in endless dust and smoke. After a while, our engineers arrived on the battlefield, and they immediately engaged in intense mine clearance. At this time, the Soviet Union Human shells kept falling on our heads, and for a moment we really doubted whether we could persist until the mines were cleared. No

After a long time, the Soviet artillery on the opposite side of us suddenly stopped firing.Soon we heard shouts from the opposite side, the voices of soldiers.It turned out that the troops bypassed the opponent's defensive formation from the flanks and rushed up successfully.In this way, we finally occupied the opponent's position..."

On the night of the same day, the 1th Brigade belonging to the 5st Panzer Army also began to carry out infiltration operations, which lasted until the next morning.On the right wing of the 4th Armored Army, a battle group of the Dragon Army deployed along the North Donets River carried out covert operations across the river. They continued to send out reconnaissance troops, hoping to find a wider river beach.In this way, their Tiger tanks can smoothly cross this seemingly complicated shoal.

Although the frontline battle on May 5 was not large in scale and the real battle did not start, the Chinese and Soviets believed that this was the beginning of the Dragon Army's "Castle" campaign.In this battle, the 29st Panzer Army seized 1% of the outposts of the opposite Soviet army and forced the remaining Soviet outposts to shrink back to the main line of defense.Since the Red Army initially did not use powerful artillery to counterattack, the Chinese thought that the opponent had been caught off guard.

In fact, these battles only played a limited role in tactical adjustment, but also exposed the attack attempt of the Dragon Army.Especially in a combat engagement in the Belgorod area, the 6th Army of the Soviet Guard captured hundreds of soldiers from the 168th Infantry Division and learned that the Dragon Army would launch an offensive at dawn.After Marshal Vasilevsky received this information, he immediately ordered the defenders to carry out counter-fire preparations to disrupt the deployment of the Dragon Army.This information was also reported to the Central Front Army and Zhukov who was at the command post of the Front Army.

On the evening of May 5, Zhukov was at Rokossovsky's headquarters.He talked with Vasilevsky in the Vadodin headquarters by high-frequency telephone and learned the results of the battle with the enemy's advance detachment in the Belgorod area.Zhukov learned that the confession of the soldiers of the enemy's 29th infantry division captured that day that the enemy had turned to the offensive at dawn on May 168 was true, and that the Voronezh Front would carry out artillery and aviation counter-fire preparations according to the plan of the Supreme Command. .

At 30 o'clock in the morning on the 2th, General Pukhov, commander of the 13th Army, called Rokossovsky and reported that according to the confession of the captured engineer of the 6th Division of the enemy infantry, the Dragon Army had recovered. Into the preparation of the attack.The time to start the attack was around 5:30 am on May 3.

After getting the news, Rokossovsky asked Zhukov: "What should we do? Should we report to the Supreme Command first, or immediately issue an order to implement counter-preparation?"

"Comrade Rokossovsky, let's not waste any more time. You issue orders according to the plan of the Front Army and the Supreme Command. I will call the Supreme Commander now and report the information we have received and the decisions we have taken."

After issuing this order, Zhukov immediately got on the phone with the Supreme Commander.He was finishing talking with Vasilevsky at the Supreme Command, and Zhukov reported the intelligence received and the decision to implement counter-preparation.Stalin agreed with their decision and ordered them to keep reporting to him, saying: "I am waiting for the development of the situation in the Supreme Command."

At this moment, Zhukov has noticed that the Supreme Commander has become tense, and everyone is the same now. Although they have built a deep and echeloned defense, and now they have a powerful means of assaulting the dragon army, they are very excited. , extremely nervous.It was already late at night, but there was no sleepiness.

At this moment Zhukov and Rokossovsky were, as usual at such times, at the headquarters of the Front.Next to him was Ma Linin, Chief of Staff of the Central Front.Zhukov and this chief of staff have known each other since the Battle of Moscow. At that time, he was the chief of staff of the 16th Army.The one who helped him the most was General Boykov, the Chief of Operations. The Chief of Operations was humble, diligent, and full of initiative. He was the right-hand man of the Chief of Staff of the Front Army.Take this moment, for example, with phones ringing and pressing questions and requests coming one after another, and he was as composed as ever.On the other side, Colonel Nadshev, Chief of the Artillery Staff of the Front Army, was also here, and often went out to call the commanders of the artillery regiments of the Supreme Command Reserve and General Kazakov, the Artillery Commander of the Front Army in the 4th Artillery Army at that time.It should be said that the artillery headquarters of the various fronts and the commanders of the artillery of the fronts, group armies, and corps all organized artillery defense and counter-preparation work very skillfully.

Who Controls the Ups and Downs: The Third World War (Closed Volume) Chapter 370 That Era That Haunts Your Dreams

Reminder to readers: Tomorrow will be the finale.

Before this battle, the Soviet army had already shown some skill under the planning of the General Staff.Whether it is the deception of strategic intentions or the concealment of tactical mobilization, they have reached the pinnacle of the Soviet army in military history.In addition to using a considerable amount of force in a large number of combat-experienced troops, they all joined the battle sequence of the Fifth Army. This front army that had been beaten and disabled suddenly had a super organizational system of 21 reorganized divisions.During the mobilization process, before May 5, they had concentrated 30 infantry divisions, [-] cavalry divisions, [-] armored brigades and [-] various artillery pieces secretly entered the front-line positions.Now, everyone is holding their breath.They waited for the last order from Zhukov, the commander of the Supreme Command.

At 2:20 in the morning, Zhukov issued an order to start counter preparations.

At 2:30, counter-preparations had begun everywhere, and Supreme Commander Ling Zhukov called, and there was only one sentence in the phone: "Fire!"

At 5:30 on May 2, the Soviet Sixth Guards Army first carried out shelling to prevent the Dragon Army from destroying the Soviet security detachment.When the Soviet artillery shells suddenly struck fiercely, Long Jun finally understood that the attack attempt had been exposed.

A flash of light that almost turned the night into day passed across the front of the Soviets. Many officers and soldiers of the Dragon Army who were nervously watching the direction of the dark Soviet formation felt their eyes were dazzled.When the idea that this is a new Soviet weapon was still spinning in my mind, a huge and unimaginable roar rang in my ears.The shelling of the Soviets has begun!There are as many as 260 heavy howitzers, cannons, rocket launchers, 370 field guns, mountain guns, and 320 heavy mortars with a longer range, all roaring at the same time on a not very long front!

The trajectory of the shells immediately interweaved a huge net of flames in the sky.In just a few seconds, groups of shells landed on the positions of the expeditionary army, and the earth trembled suddenly, as if a huge volcano was about to erupt under people's feet!This is indeed the cruelest war in human history!The unison roar of thousands of cannons finally opened the prelude to the most tragic battle in World War III.

In the early morning of May 5, the Soviet army carried out a second bombardment lasting 30 minutes: first, a 30-minute surprise attack on the starting position of the Dragon Army, followed by a 5-minute constant-speed direct-pointing fire on the artillery position, and finally a 15-minute attack on the artillery position. The possible staging area of ​​the tanks carried out artillery fire raids for 10 minutes.As is customary, the shelling began and ended with an unusually violent rocket salvo.

At 3 o'clock in the morning, the artillery unit of the 7th Infantry Army also joined in. This army used 696 artillery mortars and 47 rocket launchers to bombard the Dragon Army tanks and infantry assembly areas, consuming half of the base ammunition within 30 minutes.Everything around was shaken, and there was a thrilling rumbling explosion.The biggest battle in the Moscow Bulge began.

In this terrible "symphony", the bombardment of heavy artillery, the explosion of bombs, M31 rockets, "Katyusha", and the constant roar of aircraft motors merged into one.

A Soviet artillery observer described the scene he saw at the time: "Those Chinese are no more than 2 kilometers away from the concealed fortification of our artillery observation post. At this moment we hear and feel this. There was a shooting like a storm. The comrades around me all opened their mouths and covered their ears, enduring the huge shock and the loud sound of the shell explosion that pierced into people's hearts. Everyone followed The shock of the explosion shook violently, as if the heart and lungs were about to be shaken out. The gunpowder smoke filled their airways and lungs, making them so hot that people couldn't breathe. The dragon army artillery immediately started to fight back. The creek that divided At this time, it has become a world of flying shrapnel. The river water reflects flashes of explosions, and what flows all over the river seems to be the light of blood."

The Dragon Army in the north of the salient also exposed their intentions. Although the 4th Army fighting here did not take the initiative to attack like Chen Jitang did, he also sent combat engineers to clear the minefields.However, due to the heavy security of the Soviet army and the cover of firepower, the Chinese failed to complete the task until the morning of June 6.In the process of digging mines, an engineer of the 1th Infantry Division of the Dragon Army was also captured by scouts commanded by Lieutenant Mileshniko of the 6st Red Army Army.The prisoner then provided an important message to the Soviets: the Dragon Army had entered the starting position and would launch an attack at 1 am on June 6.

At 6:1 a.m. on June 2, the 20th Army of the Central Front Army of the Red Army began shelling. At this time, it was only 13 minute before the artillery preparation of the Dragon Army.In a moment, the ground that was still silent just now violently rose up!A Soviet army commander later described: "The bombardment is getting more and more fierce! The west is dark, and the flames of the explosion cut through the thick gray-black smoke and dust, like an ominous black wall rising into the sky. The immortal Dante, despite his amazing Imagination may not be able to describe hell in this way in his "Divine Comedy". I walked to an artillery battery 1 meters away from the command post. Since no one could hear the voice of speech, people had to make gestures. Everyone Open your mouth, or you'll burst your eardrums. Muscular soldiers with tanned bodies, glistening with sweat under the cannon."
