It was dusk, the sunset was like blood, and the gunpowder smoke had not cleared. Frunze and Stalin, who rushed from the rear, still saw the tragic scene after the air raid. The soldiers, who had high morale before setting off, were silently cleaning up the air raid site.

The strong smell of blood could not help but penetrate into the nose. Bombed trucks and large vehicles were left on the roadside, and the craters on the road were being filled.

"Comrade Commander, we must find ways to control this kind of thing, otherwise the enemy's planes will bomb every day, and the thousands of kilometers of logistics lines will inevitably have problems." Stalin saw the crux of the problem. The half-million-strong army was unstoppable. The problem was this

Half a million people also need food and drink.

Of course, Frunze knew what it would mean if the logistics were not smooth. Half a million troops marched eastward. The material reserves in Omsk alone lasted a whole winter, and it took less than half a year to prepare. I originally thought that I could take Novosibirsk in one go, but I couldn't.

It was a bad start and suffered a blow. The current losses are not very big, but the problem is that morale has been greatly affected.

"It seems that the previous deployment is correct. We should seize the time to convene a meeting with comrades to deploy air defense and how to deal with the next situation." Frunze said in a heavy tone. The Soviet Red Army had never fought such a battle before.

I had never thought about the number of ways aircraft bombed. During World War I, the Russian army bombed the German army, which was also based on bombing the opponent's solid defense line.

It was getting dark, but the atmosphere in the tents on the roadside was unexpectedly warm. After the discussion of a group of Red Army commanders and soldiers who had lost morale caused by the bombing, some seemingly feasible solutions were found. The first was to ensure the safety of the troops' baggage.

, this can be left to the anti-aircraft firepower and the air force that can do it tomorrow. Secondly, the army cannot stop advancing because of bombing, which is in line with the enemy's intention, but it cannot just march at night, and marching during the day is not impossible. The wilderness of Siberia

Of course, it is clear at a glance. However, there are many woods on both sides of the road. Once an enemy plane attacks, you can hide in the woods. The premise is that the cavalry comrades in front do a good job of reconnaissance and discover the enemy plane and transmit the message in time, so that the troops behind can stop advancing to avoid the plane.

From a process perspective, the threat of high-altitude bombing is not as effective against ground marching troops as diving aircraft, so targeted preparations can be made and machine guns used for air defense. Finally, important fire and artillery units can march at night instead.

"This meeting was quite successful. Comrades have thought of many ways. Whether it works or not depends on tomorrow. I think the key lies in the role of our military aircraft. Unfortunately, our military's fighter jets only have three brigades in Omsk.

This issue must be reported to the superiors and attract enough attention." Special Commissioner Stalin discussed with Frunze after the meeting. Judging from his tone, he was not optimistic about tomorrow's results. Frunze's mood was similar, and he really didn't expect it.

Chinese imperialism can play such a trick. Thinking that it may happen every day in the future, Frunze's mood doesn't get better.

"It would be better if it rains tomorrow." Frunze said this subconsciously. Stalin was stunned for a while and realized that Comrade Commander's confidence may not be that full. Ordinarily Frunze is a determined person.

.Otherwise, we would not have persisted in attacking Novosibirsk even when the Soviet-Polish war broke out.

"In bad weather, the enemy's aircraft will not be able to come out, but the problem is that our army's march will also be greatly affected."

"No, no. Comrade Stalin, you misunderstood me. My idea is very simple. Let the guerrillas behind enemy lines find a way to attack the enemy's airport. You see, from the report, the enemy will come at least 150

Planes, so many planes are definitely not at the same airport. With more airports, the enemy's defense becomes more difficult. If we can succeed in a sneak attack, our pressure will be less." Frunze explained this, and Stalin understood.

Immediately I felt a slight chill. The guerrillas were behind enemy lines and were short of food and ammunition. Some time ago, Balakov called, saying that they had reached the point of killing horses for meat. Due to the enemy's crazy encirclement and suppression, the guerrillas hiding in the mountains did not dare to

Life is afraid of exposing the target. Under such premise, what is the difference between letting the guerrillas attack the enemy's airport and committing suicide?

"How many people are there in the guerrilla forces behind enemy lines?" Stalin's heart was hard enough, and it all went through his mind in a flash. Frunze said: "I'm not sure, there shouldn't be too many. There used to be six or seven guerrilla groups.

The size of the team is more than a thousand. The enemy carried out several encirclements and suppressions some time ago. Comrade Balakov’s men we sent have less than 800 men. The key is that there is insufficient food and ammunition, and the comrades are persisting.

All for the Soviets."

Stalin thought of the famous slogan, "All rights to the Soviets." It was precisely because of this slogan shouted during the revolutionary period that most of the poor people sided with the revolutionary ranks. Because of this, the Red Army became stronger as it fought. Now it is still for the Soviets

, the guerrillas behind enemy lines are about to launch a final suicide attack.

Stalin fought against the White Bandits in Tsaritsyn, and his opponents were not as ferocious as the Red Army.

Novosibirsk, Volunteer Army General Headquarters, after the results of the Air Force reconnaissance came back, Qi Zhenghong and the two commanders looked stunned. For a whole afternoon, the Soviet army failed to advance to ten kilometers because of the aircraft.

Continuous bombing. How is this possible? Even Feng Hua, who has experienced the European War, does not quite believe in this result.

"Commander, to be honest, I didn't really believe it would happen at first, but the comrades who attacked came back and reported that the air strike was very effective, especially the dive bombing effect of the Eagle III aircraft. During the march of the Soviet ground troops,

Trucks and carts loaded with supplies were all caused by dive bombing. The accuracy of high-altitude bombing was still a bit poor, but it was a pity that the Eagle 3 aircraft carried too little bombs." Feng Hua further explained, and Qi Zhenghong reacted and said:

"Let someone notify General Kolchak and tell him that time is very tight. His troops must build defenses as soon as possible, and more lines of defense must be deployed. It cannot be just two or three lines of defense."

"In a few days, the snow will start to melt, and then the Soviet army's operations will become even more difficult. It is about 650 kilometers from Omsk to Novosibirsk. Now the Soviet vanguard is about 300 kilometers away from Novosibirsk.

kilometers. It can be seen that their marching speed is not very fast, which is caused by the objective difficulties of the road. It can be concluded that the Soviet army in the future will mainly rely on railways to solve the problem of material transportation, such as the 122 howitzer, which is stupid, big and black.

If you take the highway, you can sink it into the ground." Feng Hua then analyzed it, and it was obvious that the air force still wanted to concentrate on bombing the railway.

"You can't rely on God. The weather this year is a bit abnormal. In previous years, the snow has already begun to melt on a large scale by mid-April. It also snowed in early April this year. I think Frunze just wants to win the new snow before the snow melts."

Siberia." Qi Zhenghong shook his head and rejected Feng Hua's analysis.

"No matter how many there are, the comrades of the Air Force will attack according to today's rhythm. One wave will be dispatched every ten minutes. I'll see what the Soviet army can do." Li Daxiong looked excited. The Air Force could kill one more Soviet gun and one more person.

There will be one less difficulty in the future. If these 650 kilometers are bombed all the way, the Soviet army's already slow marching speed will naturally become even slower.

Qi Zhenghong glanced at Li Daxiong and said: "Don't be overly optimistic. Fu Shuai said that in everything, you must prepare for the worst, but strive for the best results. I don't think the Soviet army will give up here and suffer bombings in vain."

I won’t agree even if it happens. The Air Force should increase the number of escort fighter jets in its next attack.”

Feng Hua thought for a while and said: "Now we have two wings of combat troops. The twenty brigades are divided into five batches. They take off in waves every half hour. Each time, two escort fighter brigades and two bomber brigades are dispatched.

The commander-in-chief can also ask for instructions from the commander-in-chief and deploy two air force wings deployed in Beijing and Shenyang to assist."

Li Daxiong smiled and said: "This is a good idea. No one thought that the Air Force could play such a big role before. Since it can bomb when the enemy is marching, it can also bomb when the enemy attacks. Fushuai allocates 100 million to the Air Force every year

, then it would be a waste of resources to place Jingui’s aircraft at the rear.”

Feng Hua was so angry at these words that he thought that this kid was angry in front of him. At that moment, Feng Hua sneered and said: "Commander Li, don't be too happy. The bombs of the plane are consumed very quickly. There are only two wings now, and the logistics can barely support it."

Down. It’s hard to say if there are more, unless the transportation volume of other materials is appropriately reduced."

Qi Zhenghong heard Feng Hua's displeasure and said with a smile: "I think Commander Feng is worried that bombs are too expensive? Haha, just kidding, let's jointly send this report to Fu Shuai, and at least allocate another aircraft from the wing to assist in the battle."

Seeing that he was still polite, Feng Hua put away his displeasure and said: "The Air Force only has four wings in total, so three wings will be allocated to help out. I'm worried that Fu Shuai won't agree. After all, Beijing's sky also needs to be protected. But this

I signed the joint telegram."

The telegram was sent out quickly. When Fang Jianxiong in Beijing received the telegram, it was already ten o'clock at night. Because the call came from Novosibirsk, the director on duty of the Telecommunications Department did not dare to delay at all and immediately found Qi Erzhu, the chief attendant.

It was already very late, and Fang Jianxiong had already fallen asleep normally. Qi Erzhu hesitated for a moment, then took the telegram and entered the backyard. Seeing that the lights in the house were out, Qi Erzhu had a crease on his forehead and knocked on the door daringly.

Unexpectedly, the headlights came on in the room, and the door opened quickly, and Alice, a foreign girl, came out. She was wearing a dark short pajamas, with her long legs exposed, and her figure was so hot that people dared not look directly at her.

"Miss Alice, there is an urgent telegram from the Volunteer Army Headquarters." Qi Erzhu handed over the telegram and left, not daring to stay a minute longer.

Fang Jianxiong had just turned off the lights and had a rest. The battle with the foreign girl Alice had just entered the prologue when he was interrupted by a knock on the door. He felt a little depressed. He sat on the bed and watched Alice come in with the telegram, and collected himself to take it.
