Rebirth of the National Marshal

Originally, there were 60 troops gathered around here. The security corps had previously caused him to lose 20 troops. If these 40 troops died here again, he would really commit suicide. The Soviet high-level officials would definitely not have any good arrangements for him.

There was a raging fire in front of them and a fierce armored force behind them. This was the fate of hundreds of thousands of Soviet soldiers. There were also a large number of planes bombing them overhead. All the Soviet planes had taken off. They did not head towards Chahar, but turned around and flew inland.

This is the order given to them by Marshal Timoshenko. Since there is no way to protect you and there is no way to keep your airport, what are you still waiting for? Instead of blowing up these planes, it is better to fill up your tanks and turn inland. They have received the order, and the pilots are relieved. What they fear most is that they are ordered to fill up their tanks and bring bombs, and then crash into the enemy's ground targets. Now it is better. Marshal Timoshenko has not lost his mind. These planes are also very important. The Soviet Far East still needs them.

Marshal Timoshenko originally ordered them to fly to Vladivostok, but later he thought that since Irkutsk had been lost, it meant that the entire Siberian artery was cut off from here. Vladivostok was like an isolated island and there was no way there would be enough energy. If these planes flew there temporarily, it would only delay their fate of being captured.

The Soviet Union's military industry has not yet been fully developed. The number of aircraft produced each year is similar to that of the Japanese, which is only more than 2,000. If all these aircraft are lost here, once something happens in Europe, it will be a big deal. There is no way to supply them. It is better to let these aircraft go to Europe to realize their last bit of value.

Although it is very backward compared with the German aircraft, it is still much better to have it than not to have it.

According to Admiral Dudin's opinion, all the factories in Irkutsk were to be blown up, but Marshal Timoshenko stopped him from doing so. In Marshal Timoshenko's view, if the Chinese saw that the city was intact, that there were so many factories in the city, that there was so much wealth to be robbed, and that there were so many ordinary people to be enslaved, they might let us go. They might be dazzled by the wealth, and they would not be able to chase us so urgently. Then we could quickly pass through their encirclement and blockade and rush directly into the subarctic coniferous forests, and our goal would be achieved.

It is a pity that China's top officials are not as corrupt as you think. Even if these things are sugar-coated bullets, we will peel off your sugar coating. It's just that I will wipe the bullets clean before hitting them back at you.

When the Chinese planes appeared in the sky, Marshal Timoshenko regretted not listening to Admiral Dudin. If he had listened to Admiral Dudin, the whole Irkutsk would have become a ruin. There were still hundreds of tons of explosives there. Unfortunately, all those things now belonged to the Chinese. Perhaps they would have blown up Irkutsk.

At the beginning, these Soviet soldiers did not dare to rush through the sea of ​​fire. After all, there was a raging fire in front of them. How could they dare to go there? But later, after some persuasion from the political commissar, they also understood that if they stayed, they would only be prisoners. It was okay for them to be prisoners. At most, they would go to the Mongolian steppes to work for those Chinese people. But the problem was that they still had families. We were not soldiers of the Far East Military District, but soldiers of the Central Military District of Moscow. If we were prisoners, our families would move out of the warm house and live in a small wooden house on the outskirts of the city. The winter in the Soviet Union was so cold. If we asked our families to move out, it would be too difficult for them. Some people had elderly people at home, and some had children at home. Thinking about the lives of those people at home, they bit the bullet and rushed into the fire.

Because the fire was caused entirely by incendiary bombs, some simple fire-fighting equipment is of no use.

The senior officers had their own ideas when they asked these soldiers to rush through the sea of ​​fire. As long as these soldiers rushed in, they would try their best to put out the fire. However, these senior officers also understood that when the fire was about to go out, it would be the death of the first batch of soldiers who rushed in.

After they go in, there will definitely not be much oxygen, but even if these soldiers die, they can still put out the flames on the ground by falling down. This is exchanging human lives for hope.

Some officers with conscience also discovered this. They wanted to stop their soldiers from rushing in, but were immediately slapped to the ground by the political commissar, who grabbed them and said viciously, "Either you rush in yourself and put out the flames with your body, or you let these soldiers rush in. You can only choose one of the two." These officers with conscience also abandoned their conscience at this time. When facing life and death, it is better for others to die than for yourself. You should keep your life. As long as you are alive, there will be hope in the future sooner or later.

For the Soviets, this entrance to the forest was tragic, as large numbers of soldiers rushed in one after another and extinguished the flames with their bodies. But for the Chinese, this was a prelude to your escape. If you ran in, our casualties might be several times more than your current number, so we absolutely cannot let you run in.

The tanks moving at high speed were constantly firing, hoping to use artillery fire to force the Soviets to retreat. In the past, when the Soviets faced intensive artillery fire, they would definitely choose a place without artillery fire, but today was different. No matter how fierce the artillery fire in front of them was, they would still rush forward without hesitation, because they understood that if they stopped, they would be trampled to death by the soldiers behind them. No matter how tired you are, you must not stop. Only by rushing forward without hesitation can you have a glimmer of hope of survival.

"We must not let them rush in. Order the air force's machine guns to fire at us." Mao Yuanshan gave the order.
