Rebirth of the National Marshal

Just as the two company commanders were discussing how to fight later, hundreds of planes roared past their heads. They were already familiar with the sound; it was the Stuka bombers of their Air Force.

"I feel more at ease when I can always hear their voices. It's just like the last battle, these guys are like locusts. Wherever they fly, there are basically no complete defensive positions. The Soviets have been scared by them. When we passed by, they lined up there and raised their hands in surrender. Our air force is so powerful. If it weren't for them, who knows how long it would take to defeat the Soviet Union. Besides, from the beginning of the battle to now, we have never seen the Soviet Air Force dropping bombs on our heads." The cooperation between the soldiers of the infantry regiment and the air force is basically not that much, but the cooperation between the armored regiment and the air force is really a lot.

Whenever they go to the battlefield, these two aspects cooperate with each other. When the company commander of the armored regiment talks about the Air Force, he admires them from the bottom of his heart. If it weren't for them, how many lives would have to be paid in order to have an extra star on his shoulder?

"Just now I went to the headquarters to deliver documents, but I heard the staff officers of the headquarters say that the Air Force seemed to have won a great victory and shot down many Russian planes. These planes were not from the Russian Far East Military District. They all came from their capital called Moscow. Those people are not as good as us." Li Dongsheng suddenly thought of what they said just now.

It seems that these air forces are really powerful. At that time, the regiment commander seemed to have said that as long as they had control of the air, the war would basically be won.

"I have a cousin who is a ground crew member in the Air Force. I heard that our planes are much more advanced than those of the Russians. It's like our tanks. I can just stay there and let the two Russian tanks circle around and hit me, but they can't do anything to me. Even if their tanks run very fast, I can still catch up with them, shoot them from behind, and send these guys to see their God." During the last battle, the tank where the company commander was was hit twice by the Russian tanks, but those 37mm artillery were of no use to the Hillman tanks. If you want to leave a mark on such a tank, you must have an artillery of 80mm or above, and it has to be a very powerful one. Under normal circumstances, well, Soviet soldiers don't have such artillery.

"Company commander, we've spotted Russian troops ahead. It seems to be their vanguard. There aren't many of them, just a few hundred people." Just as Li Dongsheng was chatting animatedly with the company commander of the armored regiment, the scouts reported that they had spotted the Soviet vanguard.

Li Dongsheng was about to order his infantry to get off the tanks.

"I don't think there is a need for you infantrymen to go down. Look at what's become of them. It's the work of those air force again. It must be the same as last time, they lined up in an attack queue and then strafed them with machine guns until there wasn't even a complete body. The guys who will clean up the battlefield later will be in real trouble. Don't throw up last night's meal. They always work like this. They didn't even leave us a patrol of several hundred people." The company commander of the armored regiment took a look through the telescope, and it was exactly as he said. The bodies over there were all in pieces, and it was obviously the work of the air force. Apart from the air force, this armored unit was the frontline army, and they didn't even see any living Soviets, let alone those behind.

When the tank drove into the middle of these people, fortunately it was tracked. If it was a car with wheels, it would probably not be able to move. The human flesh, internal organs, and some other things below were mixed together with the soil to become a very muddy ground. If people walked on it, they would definitely feel nauseous. For these people on the tank, the bloody smell in the air was enough to make them want to vomit.

"In the past, I only heard that the Air Force likes to use machine guns to strafed infantry, but I have never seen it. Today I saw the real situation. These people really don't know how to work. They left all these to us infantry. It really disgusts me." Li Dongsheng quickly lit a cigarette for himself.

If he didn't rely on the cigarette to suppress his urge, he would have vomited like those new recruits. Now he was no longer a new recruit, so he could vomit if he wanted to. Many people in the company were watching him, so he had to swallow back the urge to vomit because he was already the company commander.

Although not many Soviet soldiers died here, this place was like a hell. The new recruits almost vomited their bile. It's not like they had never seen dead bodies before. They had also been on the battlefield. Even if they had not seen dead bodies on the battlefield, they had received a lot of education in the training camp. If it weren't for these air force who made this place like this, I believe they would still be able to hold on.

"I tell you guys to stop vomiting. Think about it, if it weren't for the help of our Air Force brothers, we would have been beaten into this state. If the Air Force had been defeated and Soviet planes flew over our heads, they would have beaten us into this state. By then, even if you want to vomit, you won't have the chance. Just go to the King of Hell and vomit." Li Dongsheng looked at the new recruits who were so vomiting that they couldn't even lift their heads.

These guys are too weak. It’s already so late and you’re about to see the enemy. If you keep vomiting like this, you’ll probably be killed by the enemy when you see them later.

"The soldiers nowadays are really worse than the previous ones. When I was serving in the Northwest Army, seeing a few dead people was nothing. There were so many ways for people to die. These people nowadays have been spoiled by our commander-in-chief. My goodness, look at these soldiers, they all use semi-automatic weapons after they arrive, and the food and drink are better than those of our regiment commanders at that time. They are not here to be soldiers, they are simply here to enjoy themselves. Look at these fat and white guys, they don’t look like soldiers at all, they all seem to be officers.” The tank company commander is not satisfied with the quality of today’s recruits.
