Now the Battle of Stalingrad has completely turned into a desperate battle. Although the air supply, which was already pitifully scarce at the end of June, experienced several rebounds, it was almost completely interrupted in July. The guns in the hands of the soldiers were useless due to lack of ammunition. A soldier of the 6th Infantry Division taunted Said: "We are brandishing a rifle without bullets like a medieval knight, and poking it at the Chinese as a spear."
The daily ration per person was also reduced to a 150 bagel, a spoonful of horsemeat and 5 grams of butter.Negativity began to spread uncontrollably on the front lines and in civilian shelters.The morale of the newly formed urban Red Guard recruits was also shaken, and a large number of soldiers began to throw down their weapons. They shot and killed the officers leading the team, and fled in groups to the Dragon Army's position.
A more tragic situation occurred among the wounded in the city. At that time, there were about 1 wounded Soviet soldiers who lacked clothes and medicines gathered in the ruins of Stalingrad.In a daily report, General Secretary Zhdanov of the Stalingrad Region described the condition of the wounded in a tone that was quite different from his previous calm: "Due to the lack of medicines and first aid, combined with the subzero temperature , most of them will die tragically within a few days. The military doctors in the city of Stalingrad still tried their best to save the wounded soldiers: Buhler, the chief professor of the Stalingrad University School of Medicine Professor Thor remained on the front line when he was seriously injured until he was finally killed. Lieutenant Colonel Zegler, the chief medical officer of the 52nd Army, tried his best to save the commander of the 66th Infantry Regiment in the absence of medicines. Lieutenant Nape of the Red Navy Artillery Regiment and many other Soviet military doctors, together with a small number of brave Russian female nurses, provided final care for many dying wounded. And those Orthodox priests and priests who were cleaned up also walked out In churches and prisons, they eased the pain and fear of dying soldiers. Busy figures of these clergymen can be seen everywhere on the battlefield, and they chanted in the ears of the dying that have been circulating in the Russian army since the time of the Russian Tsar The traditional prayer, modified by political workers, is: Fight in the name of Russia, we are innocent."
July 7, Beijing.Entering July, Beijing International Airport suddenly became extremely busy.The Chinese air force and public security forces stationed at the airport received the news from the Beijing garrison that the airport was immediately blocked.
Half an hour later, more than a dozen black Beijing cars drove into the gate of the airport like ghosts, and then stopped straight on the apron.After a while.A huge plane tore through the thick rain and fog, and rushed straight to the runway next to the car, and soon the plane stopped firmly at the airport.
After a while, the door of the plane opened, and a man in a gray military uniform stepped down from the plane.At this time, the doors of the cars parked next to them opened immediately.Several senior agents in black suits surrounded them, and then they saluted the officer who was coming down the gangway.Of course, that person also quickly returned the gift.Then he got into one of the cars.
"Your Highness." A tall officer sitting in the car said to the general cautiously. The one sitting in front of him was Pu Yin, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Far East Army and the eldest prince.
"Yeah!" Pu Yin replied weakly, now his mind is not on Zhao Bingjun next to him at all, his mind is full of Stalingrad.Now the battle situation in Stalingrad has become a stalemate, although the dragon army has taken full advantage from the air to the ground to the sea and even the supply line.However, the Soviets were still fighting to the death. They defended every place stubbornly, and they refused to surrender in the face of the superiority of Chinese troops and weapons.This kind of tactics of killing eight hundred enemies and harming one thousand really made him feel helpless.
Pu Yin also knows that the best way at this time is to besiege, use his own heavy troops to surround the entire city, and then wait until the opponent's ammunition and personnel are exhausted before launching an attack, but the current conditions are not suitable for him. Not allowed.The first is timing, with October on the horizon.The power of General Dong has begun to show, and the mobility of the Dragon Army has been repeatedly troubled by the cold weather.In addition, the top leaders of the Dragon Army still have great expectations for Moscow. They urgently need Pu Yin to transfer his huge armored forces to the central front to strengthen Moscow's offensive on the front line.Therefore, there is not much time left in Pu Yin's hands.
Another important issue is the situation.Although the siege offensive on the periphery of the Soviet Union was repeatedly interrupted by himself, the enemy never gave up on the rescue of Stalingrad.Intelligence indicated that the Soviets were continuing to prepare for a peripheral attack, and their target might still be the Dragon Army defensive position on the front line of Lake Ladoga.If your own troops can no longer take Stalingrad.In addition, the mobile troops in their hands were constantly drawn.If the Soviets organize a powerful force to attack, then the entire battlefield may really be turned upside down.
Now, most of my energies are involved in the brutal urban street fighting, and the peripheral defense relies entirely on the mobile defense force composed of armor and motorized troops.In case the armored forces are to be withdrawn, and the battle in the entire city is at its most dangerous, if the Soviets launch a counterattack, the situation on the entire battlefield will be greatly affected, so the biggest problem now is how to get rid of it as soon as possible. Take all of Stalingrad.
However, soldiers are still needed to defeat Stalingrad now. All of my troops, except for the powerful strategic reserve of about six armored divisions dedicated to guarding the peripheral Soviet army, most of their forces are devoted to Stalingrad. In a huge bottomless pit.
Judging from the current situation, the battle in the entire city will continue for about half a month.It can be said that even a soldier is very precious to him.
Half an hour later, the long motorcade stopped at the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City. After going through layers of almost abnormal inspections, Pu Yin came to the Qianqing Palace.
Guan Xuqing was sitting upright on the Xumizuo.
Pu Yin walked up to His Majesty Dan with big strides, knelt down to pay his respects: "I greet my father and emperor."
"Get up." Guan Xuqing, who was writing at his desk, finally raised his head slowly, "Oh, it's Yin'er, you're finally here." Having said this, he stretched out his hand, and then slightly pointed to the person next to him. A chair: "Come, sit, sit and talk."
When Pu Yin sat down slowly, Guan Xuqing said: "Yin'er, I need troops now, I need armored troops. And there are no armored troops in my strategic reserve team. When will these troops be ready?"
Pu Yin was taken aback when he heard that his father wanted to transfer the armored troops directly. It's not that he didn't think that his father would ask him for troops, but he didn't expect that his father would ask him so directly.This made him feel very strange, so Pu Yin adjusted his emotions slightly, and slowly said: "Father, my troops are now in the Stalingrad area, and they are fighting the final battle. If at this time If we rashly transfer troops from Stalingrad, then the entire Battle of Stalingrad will be in vain. As a battlefield commander, I don’t want to see the victory at hand just disappear for no reason.”
"No!" Guan Xuqing waved his hand: "You are just a battlefield commander, so you can only see things inside the battlefield, and you don't see anything outside the battlefield at all. We are now in a victory. So far we have captured 250 million enemy troops, destroyed or seized more than 2 cannons, the dragon army has advanced 1000 kilometers, and our troops have occupied cities very close to Moscow. We have completed three complete military campaigns against the Soviet Union According to the reports from the front, the Red Army has been largely defeated, and Moscow is within reach."
Who Controls Ups and Downs: The Third World War (Closed Volume) Chapter 350 and Eight Two Choices
After a pause, he continued: "Do you know what Moscow looks like now? I heard that the diplomatic missions in Moscow have already fled towards Kuibyshev, 600 miles to the east. Now the whole city of Moscow has panicked. A train had driven into the suburbs, and the entire station was crowded with people. Senior party and government officials, in cars, also joined the ranks of the fugitives, causing the largest traffic jam in the history of the Soviet Union. Groups of fugitives Looting in shops with workers because no police came to stop it. Rumors say that Lenin's body has been removed from Red Square for safekeeping, and other rumors that Stalin himself has fled. Only a small number of people are building barricades in the streets , prepared to fight to the death not to let a single Chinese through. Most of the Muscovites were demoralized and waited for the dragon army to enter the city. Many bought Chinese-Russian dictionaries in order to greet them in the language of the conqueror. In addition, Stalin had passed the Bulgarian King Boris asked us for peace. Their foreign minister Fritz Hesse once asked Wu Tingfang this question. But the empire has rejected his request, and the rejection is very clear.” Speaking of this, he glanced at Pu Yin : "You know why I say that.Do you know what it means for me to do this? After a few seconds, he suddenly took up the topic just now and said: "This means that the Soviets have failed, and they have completely failed." "
Then he suddenly changed the subject, "But now we have encountered a very serious problem, that is, the number of our troops is seriously insufficient. Now the shortage of front-line troops is relatively large. The Second Panzer Army has reduced its personnel by a quarter. These are urgently needed to be replenished. Now you have a large number of armored units in your hands, and these armored units are not very useful when facing the fortified city of Stalingrad. You should use your Armored troops are called out to participate in this battle full of historical missions. I believe we will be able to succeed."
After a few seconds, he suddenly said inexplicably: "This is a war between different ideologies. Therefore, now we must smelt the essence of China into an indissoluble body. Only when all the Chinese people are willing to sacrifice We have hope only when we are one. God is on our side."
"Father, do you really think that the empire has won the final victory?" On the outside, it's mostly a political thing. But... we don't have the full advantage, and the empire must prepare to fight in the east for another 10 years. In the short term, no one will notice that peace has not been achieved at all. "
Without hesitation, Pu Yin summoned up his courage and said suddenly: "Father, I insist that now is not the time to completely solve the Soviet Union issue."
Guan Xuqing's face immediately changed, "Why do you say that? Do you question the strength of the empire? Do you question my ability? Yin'er, I know what you are thinking. You still can't forget your tactics. You still want to Take Stalingrad, but I want you to know that Moscow is far more important than Stalingrad. You should know that as long as we take Moscow, the war will be over. The Soviets have already There is no longer any force against us, and we don’t need to win Stalingrad to ensure the advantage of the entire battlefield. Yin’er, you need to take back your ideas.”
"Father, I know all this. In fact, I have always hoped that this war can be won, but from the current point of view, we have not won the final victory. First of all, the Soviets have gradually recovered from the chaos Come over, including Stalin, who likes to command blindly at the beginning, he has regained his composure. He reappeared in the Kremlin, I heard that he has ordered Timoshenko to form a new army to defend Moscow? In addition, he announced that he was Measures under siege, those who disrupt law and order should be dealt with immediately; spies, rebels, agents, and instigators will be shot to death. Due to the firm instructions from above, the morale of the whole city began to improve again. On July 7, Stalin The speech at the Revolutionary Day military parade also proved his resolute will to fight, and now the morale of the Muscovites has become extremely strong. Although outside Moscow, although our frontline troops have inserted less than 7 miles from Moscow. But we do not have the advantage. According to the information I have learned, our troops are under the firm resistance of the Soviet army, and the progress of the vanguard has slowed down. The Soviets are using various methods to delay our progress, and God is not Don't help us, the current weather has changed suddenly, and the never-before-seen winter rain has started without warning. Longjun's heavy Tiger tanks and a large number of trucks and half-track armored personnel carriers are stuck in the mud and cannot move; but they are lighter in weight and equipped with The Su-80 tanks with wide tracks can continue to drive freely. Now, there is a muddy ocean below, and the tanks cannot move; our plane is stuck in the mud and cannot take off at all. Even if it really flies into the sky, due to low visibility , The role of our aircraft is also extremely limited. The Imperial Air Force, which has air superiority, is at a loss, and once our mobility is lost, our firepower advantage also disappears.”
"I know." Guan Xuqing suddenly interrupted the other party's words: "Our troops encountered some problems on the Eastern Front. However, the problems of the Soviets are even bigger, as I said before. The main force of the Soviets was defeated by us .Although, they were not completely wiped out. But according to the accurate information from the Eastern Front Intelligence Office of our Army Headquarters, the Soviets are indeed preparing new troops, including the construction of 150 infantry divisions, 35 cavalry divisions and 40 tank brigades, but These troops had to wait until 1930 to complete training and form combat effectiveness. The Soviet Union still had 200 infantry divisions, 20 cavalry divisions and 25 tank brigades on the Sino-Soviet battlefield. The scale of the attack. We can now take advantage of this time difference to take Moscow, so as to establish the victory in one fell swoop."
"Only 200 infantry divisions?" Pu Yin suddenly asked back: "Father, who provided this information?"
"Provided by the Eastern Front Intelligence Department of the Imperial Army Headquarters. They are experts in the study of Soviet military issues. What? Do you have an opinion on this figure?"
"Yes." Pu Yin replied immediately: "There seems to be an error in this number." Speaking of which, he took out a small notebook from his pocket, and then respectfully handed it to Guan Xuqing: "This is provided by the Security Bureau. We have passed the information to the Army Headquarters. According to our information. During the same period, they formed 208 divisions, and this number is still increasing. It is expected that by August, the Soviet Army may resume its old strength. As of now, the Soviet Army has a total of 8 million army and aviation units, equipped with 549.3 tanks, and 200 artillery pieces. In addition, the Soviet Red Navy has nearly 22000 troops. These troops are still gradually increasing .”
"Oh? Why do the Russians still have so many troops? They have wiped out more than 400 million troops for us, so why are there so many troops? Are they really cockroaches? They can't be killed no matter what ?” At this point, he glanced at Pu Yin who was standing beside him: “Yin’er, are you deliberately exaggerating the enemy’s strength in order to convince me?”
"I don't dare. In fact, it is quite normal for the Soviets to have so many troops." After a pause, he continued: "Judging from the general situation, the Soviet Union has lost millions of troops so far. It is indeed difficult for the army to restore its original strength and fully arm them in a short period of time. In fact, Stalin did not restore so many troops to combat effectiveness."
"Wait!" Guan Xuqing suddenly interrupted the other party, "You said that even if Stalin had a way to recover his troops, he couldn't recover his combat power? If that's the case, then they still can't compete with us in terms of combat power. What is there to worry about?"
"No! Things are not as simple as you imagined! Although Stalin couldn't get enough troops and equipment. But he couldn't help it." Speaking of this, Pu Yin picked up a map of the Soviet Union: "As we all know, The Soviet Union was a vast country. In addition to facing us in the east, the Soviet Union also faced other countries. Such as Turkey in the southwest, Afghanistan and China in the south-central, and Japan Island in the southeast. In some places, The Soviets still retain a very strong force. Therefore, the Soviet Union can mobilize their troops calmly. They can send a large number of untrained soldiers to these non-sensitive areas for military training. Those troops that have been trained are not This method is very simple, just like the hematopoietic function of bone marrow. They can continuously pull those untrained people into the battlefield, and the advantage of the number of these cannon fodder can calmly crush us completely .”
"Yin'er, what do you think of the current situation of the Central Army Group? Is there any chance to turn the whole situation around?"
"Yes! According to the current strategic situation between the enemy and us, we have no chance. Unless we can solve several key issues now. The first is the replenishment of soldiers, the second is the supply of ammunition and equipment, and the last is winter equipment and winter clothes Whether we can reach the front line on time, if these three things can be satisfied, then we will be able to take Moscow very smoothly. Conversely, if only one of these three things cannot be satisfied, then we will not be able to take Moscow, Absolutely impossible."
Guan Xuqing sighed slightly, "Don't say all of the three points you mentioned, even if you can only achieve a little bit, I will be very pleased. Unfortunately, although we have to pay attention to the supply problem, we have also put in some effort in this area , but this effect is still very insignificant.”
Who will rule the ups and downs: The Third World War (Closed Volume) Chapter 350 and Nine Victory Gathering
"My son thinks that the best way now is to retreat the troops of the Central Army Group to a line of defense that can last for a long time. For example, here." While talking, Pu Yin leaned over and stretched out his hand to point to a few spots on the map. A small point, "If now we can give up all-out assault to Moscow, then put the troops here."
"Why did you choose those places as strongholds for our resistance?"
"The reason why I chose those places as strongholds is mainly for the following reasons. First of all, there used to be a strong defense system. The Doryo Fortress in the Mtzensk area of Vyazma was once a famous fortress. Orel's outlying fortifications are also extremely complete. The defense depth of the Zhekov area is relatively large, and the defense area is relatively narrow, so the defense is also very well utilized. The second point of my choice of these three places is these three points They are all in transportation hubs, Orel, Rhekov and Vyazma regions have complete railway lines and road lines, Orel and Vyazma also have airports. Our trains, cars and even planes are available It is also the most critical to transport all kinds of supplies and soldiers through these transportation lines. My tactic is: first establish a solid strategic support point in these places, making it a bridgehead that can threaten Moscow. Retreat to the super fortress that can block the Soviets from breaking through the road. Then, we built a new line of defense relying on the strong fortifications and convenient railway system there, and connected the entire line of defense through continuous trenches, barbed wire and minefields, so that It becomes a real defense system. At the same time, we should destroy the railways and roads leading from Moscow to there. The advantage of this is that if the Soviets really take the initiative to pursue them, their more fragile supply lines will not be able to support them. The advance of the troops, even if they have such courage and perseverance, the lack of food and fuel will make their advance into a death attack. At that time, our troops can wipe out those attackers with little effort .”
"Honestly speaking, your plan is very good, there is almost nothing to be picky about in the details, but you have forgotten one thing, that is, our troops are on the way to attack, and the morale is very high now. If at this time, rashly It is necessary to withdraw the troops from the battlefield. This will have a great impact on the morale of the troops. If the Soviets encounter counterattacks and pursuits, then the entire army will collapse. At that time, Napoleon 1812 This will really happen to us again. This is very unfavorable to us. So this tactic cannot be used. At least it cannot be used at this critical moment." After a pause, Guan Xuqing suddenly said: "Zhen There is a tactic, that is to transfer your armored troops directly to these three areas, and then, after your troops enter here, immediately start building positions to improve the defense system of the entire area. In this way, you can Follow your method to build a complete defense system and the starting position of your troops. At the same time, your troops can also serve as the entire strategic reserve. If the situation on the entire battlefield is more optimistic, then your armored troops can be our backup Forces are sent to the front line to fight, and if the situation on the battlefield is really as bad as you said, then your troops will hold their ground, or serve as a supporting force to prevent the Soviets from completely breaking through our defense line."
"Father, there is nothing wrong with this plan, but the premise is that my troops will be dispatched, and there will be problems with the coordination of time. Because, according to the forecast of the meteorological department, there will be a big storm in the weather in Russia at the beginning of December. The range is cooling down. Our rash action at this time will not bring any good results to the entire battle situation, on the contrary, it will bury our only armored reserve team here..."
"What's your suggestion?"
"My son thinks that our troops cannot be withdrawn now. As I said, although these mechanized troops are useless when attacking Stalingrad, they are quite effective as a mobile defense force in our hands. Especially in La The front line of Lake Dorga. Compared with the Soviet army on the opposite side, our defensive forces there do not have an absolute advantage. The main goal of these armored forces is to be able to stabilize the entire defense line, which is absolutely important."
An hour later, Pu Yin slowly walked out of Qianqing Palace.The air outside was very fresh, and his mood gradually became brighter.
"The emperor agrees with your plan?" Zhao Bingjun came over.
"Father agreed to my battle plan, let me continue to attack Stalingrad, and gave me enough reinforcements." Suddenly, he glanced at the other party and said, "Mr. Zhao, is our military intelligence about the Soviet Union Have they all been sent to the Military Intelligence Agency of the Ministry of War?"
"Yes! I have sent them all! There is not a lot!" Zhao Bingjun said after being stunned for a while: "Didn't you coordinate the relationship between us? Information about politics, economy and diplomacy is under our management. All the information on the Internet was handed over there, and we handed over all the information to them after we received it."
"Hmm!" Pu Yin nodded slightly, and said, "Then, have you sent the information about the Soviets mobilizing the Far East troops to join the war and the information about the possible large-scale cooling of the Soviet Union in the future?"
"Of course!" Zhao Bingjun said very seriously, "The information was urgent, so we gave it to them without any delay. I dare to guarantee it with my life."
"Oh! That's all right!" Looking at Zhao Bingjun's swearing look, Pu Yin knew that the other party would not lie to him.
After the plane bumped in the sky for about 5 hours, Pu Yin finally returned to the headquarters in Dachinoye on the Stalingrad front.At this time, according to the order he issued in Beijing, all the commanders of the first-line forces of the Empire's siege of Stalingrad were waiting for him there.
"Everyone stand up!" Pu Hui, the chief of staff responsible for the order of the venue, quickly shouted after seeing Pu Yin pushing the door in a military uniform.
With a sound of "swipe", all the people at the scene started to fight like a spring, and then turned their faces to Pu Yin who was standing at the door.
"Very good!" Although it is already the early morning of the 19th, the spirits of everyone present are still very strong.He couldn't help being very relieved, but he didn't know why those senior officers were so nervous. In fact, it was all because they just got the news that his boss was received by the emperor in secret.Now the boss is rushing back in such a hurry, it is entirely due to some special reasons.In view of this, none of them dared to be careless, so they came to the headquarters one after another, hoping to leave a good impression in the eyes of their boss.
Seeing that all the people present were sitting in danger, Pu Yin said slowly: "I believe you all already know. The emperor summoned me today, and his meaning is very clear, that is, he wants me to quickly deploy the mechanized troops. Go south to strengthen the Central Army Group's attack on Moscow!"
"Om!" After hearing what his boss said, the people present immediately fell into chaos.Obviously, they were taken aback by this order.Because they know that this idea is very unrealistic. Their troops are fighting bloody battles with the Soviets in Stalingrad, and they don't even have enough troops, let alone transfer them.And the road to Moscow has not been easy.The cold winter has come, if you run over to join in the excitement, you will undoubtedly die.Thinking of this, everyone in the venue began to whisper.After a while, Chen Jitang, who was sitting on Puyin's right hand, stood up: "Commander-in-Chief, I think the emperor's order is not in line with our army's current strategy. Stalingrad has not been taken yet. If we withdraw our troops at this time, our The defensive line will face a tough test."
