Zhang Xueliang looked up at Xiqia, and sighed slightly: "Is it possible to escape? We have to bypass Hulun Lake and retreat to Hailaer, at least a distance of more than 300 kilometers... With our marching speed, we can't go at all in five days It’s not over. If the Russian invaders win Luo Fuwen, they will probably arrive before us. If Luo Fuwen wins... we will make people laugh out loud. Who helped my father come up with this idea?"

Xiqia's face turned hot, this idea seemed to be a telegram he secretly sent to Zhang Zuolin...

"Young Marshal, that won't be the case. According to the information given to us by the Japanese, the division brought by Luo Yaoguo is very capable of fighting and will not be easily defeated by the Russians. Even if they lose most of the time, both sides will suffer. We can’t go further into Hailar anymore, we can definitely get away. Now the boss has stockpiled a lot of weapons, equipment and supplies in Hailar, we can regroup as long as we get there, and then neither the Soviet Union nor the Kuomintang will have anything to do with us Already... If we don't leave now, when Luo Yaoguo is defeated and return to Hailar, then the Russian invaders will come to attack the city. How many days can we hold on then? If you are captured by the Russian invaders, how much will the old man do? Worry! You can't be so unfilial!"

"Then how about we and Luo Fuwen confront the Russian invaders?" Zhang Xueliang looked at the teacher Xiqia, his eyes full of hesitation.In all fairness, Zhang Xueliang is indeed a passionate young man, and he still has great love for the country and the nation.It's just... when it's time to go all out and fight a strong enemy, you often hesitate and make a decision.

The east-west confrontation was the original decisive battle plan, which was determined after repeated consultations by Zhang Xueliang and Luo Yaoguo through telegrams.However, the plan at that time was formulated on the basis that Zhalainuoer could stick to it, and now Zhalainuoer has "fallen".If the Russian invaders lose control, they can also take advantage of the favorable terrain of Zhalainuoer to block one part of the Chinese army with one force, and then concentrate their forces for a decisive battle with the other.Under such circumstances, Zhang Xueliang's determination has been shaken, and he is unwilling to take the risk of annihilating the entire army to fight.

"Young Marshal... Now there are at least 1 Russian invaders in Zhalai Nuoer! There may even be as many as [-] to [-]. If they hold Luo Yaoguo's army back with [-] people, and the rest come to fight us first...then we But the whole army will be wiped out. At that time, Luo Yaoguo and the Kuomintang will rule the Northeast."

Xi Qia's words sounded like they came from the heart.Now the defeat of the Feng army is certain, but as long as it is not destroyed, the situation can be restored.If once the main force is wiped out...then the surname of Northeast is no longer Zhang!

"Then how should we reply to Luo Fuwen?" There seemed to be a trace of pain on Zhang Xueliang's face.If it wasn't for the sake of preserving his strength and planning for the future, he would have wished to go all out for a fight!But who will guard the northeast?Who will guard against the covetous Japanese?Now the Russian invaders have made it clear that they have no ambitions for the Northeast and are not the real enemy of China, so...

Xiqia let out a sigh of relief, and there was a trace of eager flame in his eyes.He smiled coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "We can tell Luo Yaoguo that our army will dispatch the entire army to cooperate with him in a decisive battle against the Russian invaders!"

……

In the 16th year of the Republic of China, the afternoon of April [-]th.Cuogang Town, east of Zhalai Nuoer.

Luo Yaoguo's former enemy headquarters is located in the train station of Cuogang Town.A radio antenna was erected high, and a large military map was hung in the waiting room.Staff officers passed various information and orders in and out. Luo Yaoguo, a group of senior generals and military advisers gathered in the war room to hold the last military meeting before the war.

"Air reconnaissance shows that the Russian invaders have built a very thin line of defense between Hulun Lake and the Hailar River west of Zhalainor. There is only about one infantry division on the line of defense of about [-] kilometers. Moreover... the air force reconnaissance also It was found that there seemed to be smoke pillars rising in the direction of Zhalainuoer, and it seemed that the war had not completely ended."

Yan Wuzheng, a senior staff member of the staff group, is explaining the latest situation on the front line to everyone with the report he just received.Speaking of the fact that the aviation soldiers found that Zhalainuoer was still suspected of fighting, he also showed a hint of joy on his face.

"...Young Marshal Zhang in Manchuria has also replied by telegram. They will dispatch all seven divisions of the Fengjun Army and a heavy artillery regiment to advance eastward to cooperate with us in a decisive battle with the enemy of Zhabeinuoer! However, they may still need some time to prepare. I hope we can first Attack."

"Telegram Manchuria and Beijing about the fact that Zhalainor is still fighting." Luo Yaoguo seemed to suddenly think of something happy, smiled slightly, and said: "This time the Soviet Stalin and the "Pravda" are talking big, if It would be embarrassing to be exposed, I guess our opponent is really busy gnawing on that hard bone right now?"

At this time, Yan Wu had already drawn the defense line of the Soviet Red Army on the military map with red and blue pencils.On the endless flat grassland, a [-]-kilometer line of defense is held by about [-] Soviet Red Army, and there are no strong fortifications yet.This time the Soviets were indeed a little overbearing, probably because they lacked troops and underestimated the enemy, right?

"Hubei Railway Station should be an important support point for the Russian defense line, but there is basically no danger on the large grassland from the south of the railway station to Hulun Lake...Mr. Guderian, your breakthrough point is Hubei How about the area three to six kilometers south of the station?"

Luo Yaoguo looked at the Soviet Red Army defense line drawn with red pencils on the map, smiled and looked at Guderian who was eager to try.This time, the Soviet Red Army is almost cooperating with Guderian, forming such a thin long snake formation, how can it withstand the impact of the armored forces?

Guderian smiled smugly, and raised his mustache: "General Luo, your suggestion is good, I will break through from there, sixty tanks, forty armored personnel carriers, plus a regiment Infantry, I can storm into the town of Zhalainur in an hour!"

"...Sihua, you command the infantry of the No.18 Division to break through behind the armored brigade, and then divide a regiment to outflank the Hubei station from behind the enemy's line of defense. The other troops followed the armored brigade to rush to the town of Zhalai Nuoer, trying to push the Russian invaders. Chaos... Brother Xiaohou (Yu Xuezhong), your third division attacked the Russian defense line from the front after the armored brigade broke through, trying to completely defeat this division. The attack time is set at eight o'clock tonight. At 10:[-] o'clock, artillery preparations began for [-] minutes, focusing on bombarding the area three to five kilometers south of Hubei Station..."

Luo Yaoguo picked up the attack plan that Rommel had just drawn up, deployed the entire combat mission, and then looked at everyone quietly.After a long silence, he said again:

"Gentlemen, this battle is the first time our National Revolutionary Army has fought a national war! And it is still facing our most ferocious and insidious enemy, Russia! This country is the enemy that has taken the most territory from us in history, and even now they are occupying The imperialist country with the largest territory in our country. Outer Mongolia’s more than two million square kilometers of fertile land is still occupied by this self-proclaimed socialist country, and they are still eyeing our northeast Xinjiang. Now if we put We defeated and let them see how powerful the Chinese army is, and maybe there will be a few years of peace in the future... We can use this precious time to build our heavy industry and the southern base to deal with the two major imperialisms of the red and white in the future Another invasion! Gentlemen, for the country, for the nation, for our party, and for our own future, please fight this battle well!"

……

Looking at the backs of the generals leaving, Luo Yaoguo frowned tightly again.This battle with the Soviet Red Army seems to be a sure thing... But will Stalin give up?And after he defeated the Red Army in front of him, how should he end up next?Is it necessary to take advantage of the victory and pursue to cross the Sino-Soviet border?If so, how far should this war go?In the current battle of the Middle East Road, the Soviet Union seems to be more motivated than in history. Zhang Xueliang has agreed to return the Middle East Road and realize the Sino-Soviet joint management. Lotsky struggles to unite.This matter is really getting more and more complicated. It seems that it is impossible to easily end the war without using that secret hole card.

Thinking of this, Luo Yaoguo's eyes flashed a trace of coldness, and a faint sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.It took a lot of effort to get this secret hole card, and now it's time to bring it into play.

"Yuanliang!" Luo Yaoguo suddenly called out Sun Yuanliang's name.Although this person cannot fight, he is still very reliable in other aspects. For example, the Sun Wenism Society is doing well now, and has attracted many elites among Whampoa students to participate.

"The student is here." Sun Yuanliang responded and walked in from the door, stood in front of Luo Yaoguo respectfully, gave a neat military salute, stood there, and waited for Luo Yaoguo's order.

Luo Yaoguo glanced at Sun Yuanliang, without any expression on his face, just said a few words coldly: "Send a power call to Wu Ziliang, Director of Military Intelligence, and tell him to start the 'Sunshot Project' now."

Chapter 0323 Manzhouli Great Victory ([-]) Armored Assault

At [-] o'clock in the evening, the third Zhalai Nuoer offensive and defensive battle launched by the Kuomintang and the direct coalition forces officially started.

At the moment when the attack order was issued, eighteen 150mm howitzers, 36 105mm howitzers, and 72 75mm mountain guns that had already been prepared roared at the same time!For a while, the rumble of cannons resounded through the sky.The construction of heavy industry in southern China, which started four years ago, finally exerted a little power at this moment.In the billowing smoke, the artillery doctrine that originally belonged to the Soviet Red Army also occasionally showed its glory in the National Revolutionary Army. More than 100 light and heavy artillery fired intensively, shooting brightly all over the sky.Thousands of shells dragged orange-red ballistics across the night sky, roaring in groups towards the Soviet defense line between Hulun Lake and Hailar River.

The cannonball hit the ground like Thor's hammer, blasting countless pillars of fire into the sky. The violent air wave swept the high-speed rotating shrapnel flying in the air, and soon turned into a torrential rain, splashing on the ground.

The [-]-kilometer-long defense line lined up by the Soviet army was soon shrouded in smoke and dust.Due to time constraints and excessive self-confidence, these self-righteous invaders did not dig long trenches, but only hastily dug some shallow foxholes.The shells falling from the sky exploded in the middle of these foxholes, wave after wave, as if hammers were slammed down on the Soviets crawling in the foxholes!

The Soviet army, who was caught off guard by the sudden bombardment, whether it was an officer or an ordinary soldier, is now lying dead in the foxhole, with his mouth open, and he can't help but feel trembling all over!An atmosphere of despair quickly permeated the entire defense line.If it weren't for the political commissars and internal affairs commissars who are now behind the line of defense, with machine guns on their backs, and the black muzzles are pointing directly at their backs, I am afraid that the armored brigade commanded by Guderian will not need to attack, and this division will collapse. ?

The whole earth was trembling, and the artillery shells fell on the Soviet defense line in rows.The huge fireball formed by the explosion of a large-caliber grenade can often smash entire rows of Soviet soldiers into pieces, and then lift them into the sky like pieces of paper, and finally turn into flesh and blood and fly all over the vast grassland.

After 10 minutes, the shelling stopped abruptly.

According to experience, after the shelling, the infantry will charge.The surviving Soviet Red Army, under the organization of officers and the urging of political cadres, picked up weapons, loaded ammunition, and crawled in bomb craters or foxholes, preparing to meet the infantry attack of the Chinese White Army.

……

Guderian was now standing on the roof of an armored command vehicle in high spirits, and he looked back at the formation behind him.This is all the armor power that this ancient oriental country possesses!Five tank companies, five armored vehicle companies, and an elite infantry regiment.Whether his theory can work or not depends on tonight's battle.

At this time, Huang Guyu, the chief of staff of the temporary armored brigade, ran to his side and reported to him in fluent German: "Sir, all the troops are ready. Please order!"

"Very good!" Guderian nodded in satisfaction, then slowly raised his right hand, and swung it down again: "Attention everyone! Start the vehicle!"

"Start the vehicle!" Seeing Guderian's gesture, those Kuomintang or Fengjun tank drivers and commanders who did not understand German began to start their respective vehicles with the joystick.About 5 minutes later, all the vehicles of the entire army were launched, and the roar of the chariots enveloped the entire grassland in an instant.

Guderian let out a sigh of relief, and pointed his right hand forward again: "All attention, all attention! The target is right in front of you! Armored soldiers! Charge! Strike!"

Following Guderian's order, the motors of the tanks and armored vehicles that had already started roared, spewed out bursts of pungent smoke, and began to slowly start to form a battle formation.Sixty Renault FT-17 tanks drove forward to form an equilateral triangle offensive formation, and then slowly moved forward, heading towards the Soviet position a few kilometers away.

Behind the convoy of tanks is a small square of forty armored personnel carriers, about a battalion of officers and soldiers will enter the field in these armored personnel carriers.Behind the armored personnel carrier is a convoy of dozens of temporarily assembled trucks. The trucks are also full of officers and soldiers with live ammunition, and behind the trucks are dragging a dozen 37mm rapid-fire guns.Since the Renault FT-17 is now only equipped with a machine gun, there is no artillery.So these 37mm rapid-fire guns provide fire cover.

Behind this improvised and seemingly unreliable armored force is the infantry of the No. 18 Division of the Kuomintang under the command of An Sihua.This unit will follow the armored troops to expand the results of the battle after they successfully break through... Of course, if the armored units really fail, these infantry will be responsible for launching a charge to defeat the defense of the Soviet Red Army.

……

The officers and soldiers of the First Division of the Soviet Red Army, who had just experienced the bombardment like hell, heard the huge roar of the engines of tanks and armored vehicles, and saw the attack formation formed by hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles, accompanied by thousands of infantrymen. When pressing down on your own position.Their first thought was not fear, but surprise!

"My God! This is a tank! Is it the enemy? Or ours?"

I don't know which unrestrained Soviet soldier said what he thought in his heart.Yeah, who owns these tanks?Is it the Chinese army that is said to be poor and backward without any heavy industry?This is too funny, right?The army of the Soviet Union, which claimed to be the number one industrial power in the world, was actually attacked by armored troops by a Chinese army that had been impoverished for hundreds of years!And what's even more intolerable is that the officers and soldiers of the Soviet Union, an industrial country, don't know what to use to fight against the torrent of steel rumbling across the road!

The Soviet Red Army has now equipped its troops with 37mm anti-tank guns, but this time it is going to war with the poor and weak China...so they didn't bring them.Even if it was brought, it was probably destroyed by the violent shelling just now.It seems that the anti-tank rocket launcher has not been invented yet, and the Soviet Union does not have anti-tank guns now... Is the only thing left to fight grenades?

"Attention! Attention! Ready to fight! Ready to fight!"

The commanders at all levels of the Soviet Red Army who came back to their senses began to yell and urge the soldiers to go into battle. As for what to fight with, only God knows.But before they could figure out how to fight, the machine guns on the tanks on the opposite side began to shoot.The scene of dozens of machine guns spitting out flames at the same time was quite spectacular. The Kuomintang infantry who followed the tanks to provide cover also raised their rifles or Czech machine guns and began to shoot at the Soviet front.In this time and space, the armored units of the Kuomintang were trained by German instructors from the beginning, so naturally there will be no mistakes of stepping out of step.After all, these small Renault tanks are not very strong... It is said that the tanks of the Feng army were defeated by the soldiers of Feng Yuxiang's army with shotguns in history!How could this Fengjun be a little dazed?

Facing the mass assault of so many tanks and armored vehicles is very scary, especially seeing this kind of scene for the first time, even the Soviet Red Army armed with Marxist-Leninist ideology is equally afraid!Not only today, but also ten years from now!When the armored group assaulted to a distance of less than 200 meters from the Soviet infantry line, most of the soldiers had already begun to waver.Because they already know that the weapons in their hands are completely useless against those steel monsters, unless they rush to the front of the tank and shoot directly at the observation port of the tank driver... just like those awesome people under Feng Yuxiang in history!However, the officers and soldiers of the [-]th Division of the Kuomintang who accompanied the tanks on this battlefield would not allow this kind of joke to happen.

Now the Soviet Red Army guarding this line of defense has completely panicked, and everyone turned their heads and looked back.He looked helplessly at the political commissar behind him, hoping that the old man would show kindness and let the internal affairs personnel's machine guns be withdrawn.Then run for your life together, and never return to this terrible battlefield.But what they saw was the black muzzle of the supervisor team...

The guns of the Soviet Red Army Supervisory Team could prevent the Soviet soldiers from escaping, but there was no way to prevent them from being killed one by one by the fire stream from the surging steel monsters on the opposite side.Guarding this section of the position is a certain infantry regiment of the First Division of the Soviet Red Army. This regiment originally had 500 people.After the battle of Zhalainuoer, there were 10 casualties, and the bombardment in the 300 minutes just now killed more than 100 people. Now there are less than 2000 people standing on the ground and suffering.These few people are now being attacked by a hundred tanks and armored vehicles and nearly [-] infantrymen. There are more than [-] various machine guns, more than [-] rifles and submachine guns, and dozens of various artillery and mortars. come over.In a short time, the Soviet army on the entire position was almost wiped out. In the end, only some political workers were left holding their hands high and begging to surrender!

The entire breakthrough took less than 10 minutes. In fact, these tanks and armored vehicles didn't stop their wheels at all, and didn't even slow down much, just like this.A Soviet Red Army infantry regiment was completely defeated in just 10 minutes!Seeing the corpses of the Soviet army lying on both sides, and the groups of Soviet prisoners with dull eyes and bewildered eyes, Guderian let out a long sigh.He knew... the war had been won, and his vision had been fully vindicated.Seeing the video data of this battle, I believe that even the most stubborn generals will immediately change their views on tanks.Tanks should be concentrated as the blade of the attacking force!As now, tear apart the enemy's defenses and crush their will to resist.

With a wave of Guderian's hand, he summoned Second Lieutenant Zhang Linfu, the communication officer in charge of liaison between the tank companies and armored vehicle companies.After this famous anti-Japanese general in history graduated from Whampoa Phase IV, he was specially arranged by Luo Yaoguo to enter the Central Military Academy to teach the tank brigade of the corps to learn armored soldiers.

"Order the companies to maintain speed and distance between vehicles! Pay attention to the formation! Don't worry about those routs! Hand them over to the infantry behind to deal with them. Our purpose is to charge! Charge! Continue to charge!"
