Chapter 53: Chasing and Fighting
History has changed a little because of Kolchak's survival, but from the perspective of the process, some things have not changed. Fu Longzhi's failure did not make him lose the trust of the Soviet senior leaders.
"The Poles captured Vilnius, and their next goal should be Galicia. If I were the leader of the Soviet Union, I had to reverse the unfavorable situation of fighting on both sides." Cai E put forward his own point of view from a military perspective.
"Tell Qi Zhenghong, emphasize that Omsk is the bottom line. We don't need to work hard for the Belarusian army. The gold of Kolchak is not worth the huge price our army paid." Jiang Fangzhen also looked so sad when he mentioned this. Since the war in Novosibirsk, although the results of the war have been great, the losses have been paid. The casualties of nearly 5,000 people are not a small number. Although there are many new recruits here. As for the more casualties of the Belarusian army, Jiang Fangzhen didn't care at all.
"The Military Intelligence Bureau has found out that Denikin's troops were completely defeated. With the deepening of the Polish army and the lengthening of the supply line, the Soviet counterattack became inevitable. Judging from the time, the war is probably not over until the end of the year. Tell Leng Yu that he can move faster and that the task must be completed before the end of the year." After Fang Jianxiong finished extinguishing the cigarette in his hand, he walked to the window and looked at the sky: "Tomorrow should be sunny." Puchi, the two behind him laughed together. It seemed that the weather problem gave Marshal Fang a headache.
The plane appeared in the sky again, and the fierce bombing turned the Soviet position on the high ground into a sea of fire. After the shelling, a regiment of the First Belarus Army shouted Ula and rushed forward. This linear group charge tactic is really unsatisfactory.
Liu Mingzhao put down his telescope and said to the regiment commander Fan Yong, who was beside him: "The Belarusian army is still using the old tricks from World War I, don't expect them. At most half an hour, they will have to be defeated. Let the artillery prepare to block the shooting and prevent the Soviet army from chasing them."
Zhu Helai in the woods was waiting for the order. Finally, he waited for Buluheer's call. "It's now, attack!"
The Soviet armored brigade hiding in the woods suddenly came out and stabbed the attacking Belarusian army hard on the waist and eyes. In less than ten minutes, the Belarusian army ran back in panic, and the Soviet army chased after him crazily.
"Is there such a trick?" Liu Mingzhao was shocked and immediately ordered: "The Mountain Cannon Battalion stared at the Soviet armored brigade and beat him hard. What? The Belarusian army, don't care about their life or death, otherwise the Soviet armored troops would chase him down, and we would be done." Unexpectedly, the Soviet army still had such a killer weapon hidden. Cold sweat broke out on Liu Mingzhao's forehead.
This position has been fighting for a whole morning, but it has not been taken down. In Liu Mingzhao's opinion, the Belarusian army is really a waste.
Boom boom boom. The 12 75 mountain cannons ignored the Belarusian army that was being hunted and bombed together with the Soviet armored troops. This result shocked Zhu Helai, who was chasing, and immediately ordered: "Change, turn around and return to the woods."
An Air Force lieutenant came into Liu Mingzhao's command and saluted: "General Liu, Air Force lieutenant Xu Jianzhang, was ordered to report. My mission is to guide the Air Force."
Liu Mingzhao grabbed his hand and walked to the bullet mirror, pointed to the tank where the Soviet army was turning, and said, "Did you see, can you come?" Xu Jianzhang glanced and said, "No problem, it's up to five minutes." He said, and called the communication team in. After a call, a group of eagles flew into the sky.
Soviet tanks and armored vehicles that were fleeing into the woods became the targets of artillery and Eagle Three. Four Eagle Three dived one after another. A string of bombs was dropped, followed by a strafing. There were less than ten tanks fleeing back to the woods. Although five or six hundred Belarusian troops were killed, this result did not satisfy Buluheer.
"Damn it! Our air force is all waste!" Zhu Helai, who escaped from the ascension, leaned against the wall of the car and sweated coldly.
Wei Yue walked into Liu Mingzhao's command center. He had a strong aura and everyone saluted. "Braft Commander Liu. I have sent you a heavy artillery run, 24 155 howitzers. How long does it take to take this high ground?"
"Teacher Commander, I need at least one regiment to supplement it." Liu Mingzhao was neither humble nor arrogant, and seemed extremely calm. Wei Yue sighed that this guy was not as good as he was in war. The blocking position built by the Soviet army in the Ob River was broken through by his brigade.
"Yes, I'll give you another tank company." Wei Yue waved his hand, meaning that he would do anything.
"Before darkness, if I can't take the position, I will not be the brigade commander." Liu Mingzhao issued a military order.
The retreating commander of the Belarusian Legion was taken to Liu Mingzhao. Liu Mingzhao didn't even look at his gray face and said lightly: "Retreat without authorization and escort down to carry out a gun execution." Bang bang, after two gunshots, the Belarusian officers shook.
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance, wait for my man to be responsible for the main attack. Your troops will send a regiment. From the side, I will give you a tank company. There is no order to retreat. Whoever dares to take a step back will shoot whoever I will shoot." The Belarusian brigade commander Variosha, who was also a brigade commander of Jerikov, stood in front of Liu Mingzhao and lowered his head and was scolded and didn't dare to let go of a single fart.
Thirty minutes of artillery fire was about to begin, and 24 155 howitzers violently bombarded the Soviet high ground according to Liu Mingzhao's request. After the shelling, the Soviet army came out of the bunker, but did not wait for the opponent to charge, but waited for eight Eagle Three.
The bombs were thrown down one by one, and instead of waiting for the expected violent explosion, they waited for a sea of fire.
Incendiary bomb! There is also a scientific name called napalm bomb! The Soviet army on the position was instantly burned into firemen, and people kept escaping from the trenches, living on the position and struggling and wailing. The screams made people tremble all over.
"Mountain Cannon Battalion, a base shell is bombarded." After the order, 12 75 mountain cannons bombarded violently, and they had advanced to a battalion's commando five hundred meters in front of the position, making all preparations for the charge.
"Without a tank, I can still destroy these turtle sons." Liu Mingzhao showed a sly smile on his lips, picked up the phone and said, "Variosha, your people can attack."
There was a regiment of Soviet troops on the high ground defending. After discovering the tanks rushing forward on the flank, they immediately believed that the flank was the main attack. The Soviet army was deceived and when the volunteer commando on the front launched a fierce attack, it was too late. The assault battalion rushed to the position where the fire was still burning under the cover of fierce firepower at an extremely fast speed.
"Flame Spray!" A bunker was covered by a fire dragon, and several Soviet soldiers struggled to escape, were beaten up and turned into corpses. Su soldiers rushed out in the trenches, and the bright bayonets did not have much room to exert. The assault camp firepower was all over. The National Defense Forces were not the Japanese Army, and they could use bullets to deal with them without bayonets.
The Soviet army's position was in chaos, and the assault battalion cut the originally small high ground into two like a sharp knife. The subsequent troops rushed forward like a tide, dividing the Soviet army into five small units, and defeating them one by one. Buluheer urgently reinforced, but was strafed by the plane and blocked the artillery regiment. After more than three hours of fierce fighting, the high ground before the outbreak was captured, and the forces of one battalion after another of the Soviet army were wiped out, and less than twenty escaped. The armored brigade ambushed in the woods had already run away. The chariots that fled back were only five wheeled armored vehicles left.
The bad things were still behind. On the second day of the blocking battle, half of the high-level support points that Buluhell had high hopes for were captured. Buluhell lost an infantry brigade and an armored brigade. Fortunately, it was dark and the Chinese stopped attacking. However, when the early morning came again, something even worse happened.
Boom! A shell directly overturned a bunker reinforced with rails, and the violent explosion was stronger than the previous 155 howitzer. This was the Second Brigade of Independent Artillery and used the built railway to transport quickly. This 210 howitzer with a range of 15 kilometers was simply a demon from hell. The fortifications built by Buluhell, even the strongest bunker, could not withstand its one-shot power.
The Soviet army fought desperately, and Buluheer personally went to the front line to supervise the battle. Under the accusation of the political commissar, the Soviet army became desperate people. Li Daxiong, the first commander of the Volunteer Army, also rushed to the front line and found Wei Yue, the commander of the 53rd Division, in the command center five kilometers away from the front line.
"Old Wei, the air reconnaissance has been launched. The main forces of the Soviet army have all surpassed Ubinskye. The little Kabi Nitnaya, how long do you plan to fight?" Li Daxiong said with a bad tone. Wei Yue said with shame and angrily: "Please wait for the military defense line. After dark, our army will continue to attack. We will definitely break through the Soviet defense line tomorrow."
"Barring, you must break through before dawn tomorrow. Before dark tomorrow tomorrow, I hope to see the cavalry arrive at Ubinskye." After Li Daxiong said that, he stared at Wei Yue and stared at him without any discussion.
"I understand, I'll go to the front line to supervise the battle."
"Old Wei, it's not that I want to make things difficult for you. The commander-in-chief is not under a small pressure. Beijing Fushuai called. In order to ensure that Omsk is taken as fast as possible, our army is required to annihilate at least three-quarters of the Soviet army in this 650-kilometer pursuit. Let me tell you the truth that the Air Force has used all four regiments that can be drawn, and the first regiment is guarding Beijing. The more Soviet troops we eliminate, the less the Soviet troops on the Polish side can invest, and the greater the space that Kolchak's regime in Omsk can gain in the future. I won't say much about these major principles."
"Military, I understand that I will consume the elite of the Soviet army at all costs. The 500,000 Soviet troops brought by Fu Longzhi are all veterans of the Soviet army. The longer the Soviet-Bo War, the more beneficial it is to me."
On the night of May 1st, the coalition forces launched a night attack abnormally. Buluheer hoped that he could hold on to the defense line for a week and was riddled with holes. At dawn, it was Liu Mingzhao's direction again, and the last support point was captured. Buluheer of the command center drew his gun and wanted to commit suicide. He was hugged tightly by his subordinates and escaped with the last few armored vehicles.
