Chapter 390 General Attack on the Far East (16): A Million Troops Rumble(1/2)

,

spn Baigava, located more than 30 miles north of Komsomolsk City, was originally a Soviet town. After the war began, millions of Far Eastern Soviet troops quickly built a long line around Komsomolsk City with Komsomolsk City as the core.

As a result, the residents of this small town were quickly emptied, and it turned from a peaceful Far Eastern town into a fortress garrison on this thirty-mile defense line.

Before the Chinese National Defense Force launched the general offensive, two Red Army divisions were stationed here. Due to the high attrition of soldiers during the war with Japan, the actual strength of the two Red Army divisions was only the size of one Red Army division before the war. The commander was Lieutenant Commander Kurbat Jin.

General, before the war, he was in charge of commanding an army.

Boom! Boom!..., explosions were heard one after another outside the town. Cannons were flying across the sky. The Chinese aircraft flying in groups overhead dropped strings of bombs. The already riddled Baijiawa was even more damaged.

It was blown into ruins.

"Report, a large number of Chinese tanks were discovered in our rear."

"Report, the 421st Division and the 488th Division on our right flank abandoned their positions and ran away. They broke through our obstruction arrogantly."[

The series of bad news made the Red Army general who stood firm in Baigawa frown. As a heroic general who came from the October Revolution, he also participated in the counter-insurgency war and the war against Japan, and has always performed very well.

From a small soldier during the October Revolution to a lieutenant general today.

Is the Komsomolsk defense line strong? If someone asks Lieutenant General Kurbatkin this question, he will answer without hesitation that it is very strong.

But it is this solid line of defense that now cannot even block a dawn general attack by the Chinese. This same line of defense was blocked by two Red Army divisions under his command more than a year ago.

Although the three Japanese divisions suffered heavy losses in their continuous attacks, the defense line was not breached after all.

However, during the battle at dawn, the Baigawa section of the defense line under his command was attacked by a Chinese division. At first, he thought there were several Chinese divisions and tank divisions attacking, but as the sky became brighter,

When the forward positions were broken through one by one, he got the report that there was only one regiment attacking this section of the defense line.

With the support of dozens of tanks, a regiment defeated two Red Army divisions that were seriously short of personnel. Although the Chinese firmly controlled the air superiority and the fierce power of ground artillery fire was in it, in fact, the Kurdish

Lieutenant General Erbatkin knew very well that the team's marksmanship was accurate, individual firepower and regimental firepower were very fierce, and there were many automatic weapons. Once the Chinese rushed to the position, that section of the position would have to pay several times the casualties of the Red Army to recapture it.

.

Lieutenant General Kurbatkin ignored the Chinese fighter planes flying everywhere and stood on a small high ground, looking at the surroundings of the Baigava position.

Behind Bai Jawa, you can see billowing smoke and the muffled sound of engines, which is a large group of tanks charging.

Position 66 on the left and Position 64 on the right were already engulfed in billowing smoke, but the smoke was weakening because the Chinese had already attacked the positions and were picking up the dejected Red Army prisoners one by one.

"General Kurbatkin, we are surrounded!"

A regimental leader ran to Kurbatkin. His left forehead was scratched and a large piece of scalp was torn off. Even after several layers of gauze were wrapped, it was stained completely red by the blood. He had lost too much blood.

, his face and lips turned white, and his legs seemed to be injured. He leaned half-tilt and panted, and said carefully.

"Is there really no other way?"

Kurbatkin knew that the regiment leader was asking for his opinion. If possible, he should surrender in time. In that way, the thousands of Red Army soldiers left behind after the heavy death here would have a way to survive. If Baigava hadn't been lucky enough to survive,

Now, with a solid underground fortification and complex battlefield terrain, I am afraid that not even half of these thousands of Red Army soldiers can be left behind.

While he was hesitating, the team in front of the position was also preparing to launch an attack to completely capture this strategically located Soviet highland.

"Teacher, it's almost time."

Wu Peiqiang, the commander of the 3rd regiment, approached the division commander Hou Xiaoshan and said a little unbearably.

"If you wait a little longer, the roundabout armored forces will soon break through their rear. I have a feeling that the enemy is going to surrender."

Hou Xiaoshan is not just talking nonsense. Although the Baijiawa position opposite is not the core position of Komsomolsk, it has the best passage from here to the north. If the Soviet army loses here, then the entire position will be destroyed.

After the generals are lost, the National Defense Forces can enter from this point. From the breakthrough point of Komsomolsk, a huge breakthrough point is opened, and the large forces can march straight in.

Hou Xiaoshan's division belongs to Fu Zuoyi's Thirteenth Army. It is best at field battles. Although it is not the best at attacking fortified positions, it is very good at infantry and tank coordination, so it was transferred to attack Baijiawa.

Of course, at this time, there were millions of troops on the Far East Komsomolsk defense line. As long as the field troops who could fight and run were brought to the front line, the scale of the general attack was so astonishing.[

"But, now there are only 20 minutes left to win the position." Wu Peiqiang said with some worry. As his cousin, the commander has always liked to take risks, which he is not very impressed with. As the leader of his subordinates, he thinks

To fight is to rush in and resolve the battle.

"Order to concentrate the firepower of the entire division. I will personally ask Commander Fu Zuoyi for another concentrated fire support." Hou Xiaoshan walked towards the line and said without looking back, "If they don't surrender, we still have enough time to break through the defense line."

"Commander Fu, this is Hou Xiaoshan. Judging from the enemy's reaction, they are likely to surrender. I hope to receive support from a group army artillery group and strive to use the most concentrated firepower to defeat the enemy's last psychological defense line. The effect of the air strike just now is as good as

The shelling effect provided by the long-range artillery group is not very good. The location here is a bit tricky...Okay, I will ask the staff to report the parameters of the Baijiawa position immediately!"

Putting down the phone, Hou Xiaoshan said happily, "Order, the artillery group of the group army will carry out artillery bombardment in five minutes. Our firepower is also ready at the same time. The 2nd and 3rd regiments are ready to attack. If the enemy does not surrender, they will take it in one go."

it."

"yes!"

In Hou Xiaoshan's view, if there is plenty of time, it would be best to capture all the thousands of people on the opposite side alive. He has taken on a good job. Once the situation is successfully resolved, he can get behind the defense line first and thus gain a lot of money.

Captured a large number of Soviet troops.

A few minutes later, the army's artillery group had not yet opened fire, but a senior general arrived here.

"salute!"

Several generals wearing the uniforms of the field armored army walked into the offensive bunker opposite Baigava. It was originally a bunker on the second line of defense of the Soviet army. It was captured by the Wehrmacht and converted into a forward headquarters.

"Commander Ye, why are you here?

The division's strength is not lightning attacks, but it is very good at drilling into ravines and going into battle in the dark. It is very familiar with field warfare, so it was picked by Fu Zuoyi as the spearhead division to attack Khabarovsk. Unexpectedly, the general charge here has not yet been

At first, General Ye Long, the commander of the Far East Theater of the Armored Group, actually came.

"Hou Xiaoshan, right? I heard that you have a lot of clever ideas. The opposite side is Baijiawa. My main force will pass through here soon. You are not waiting for them to fight." 7 Ye Long said with a smile

.

"Commander Ye is joking, our general attack will begin soon."

Hou Xiaoshan secretly thought that if the enemy did not surrender, it would only be a few minutes late, but if the enemy surrendered, then the division would save a lot of time in Baijiawa and directly board tanks and armored vehicles to pursue the pursuit.

"Report, the artillery group of the group army will start shelling in one minute."

"Order the firepower of the entire division to prepare, and the propaganda team to prepare to persuade surrender."

Hou Xiaoshan quickly ordered.

"Hou Xiaoshan, I heard that your surrender team is composed entirely of captured Soviet political commissars, right?" Ye Long asked with a smile.

"It's the mouth heirs. These political commissars used to be good at bullying soldiers and officers, and now they are also good at persuading them to surrender. We relied on them to capture a division before. They are usually closely guarded, but they come in handy when persuading them to surrender."

Hou Xiaoshan said with a grin.

Boom!!!..., soon, the bombardment of Fu Zuoyi Group Army began, and the firepower of J Coin also joined in. After adjusting the bombardment of Zhu Yuan, the effect was very good, and the Baijiawa Highlands suddenly fell into an explosion.

In the sea of ​​smoke and fire.

The bombardment lasted for 3 minutes. The intensity was very high and it didn't last long. Hou Xiaoshan waved his hand, and a propaganda vehicle converted from an armored vehicle drove out, climbed to the forefront, and turned on a high-power electric horn to point at the Soviet troops on the opposite side.

Position shouting.[

"Comrades! You have been abandoned by the Soviet 'government'. Your mission is over. Your left and right wings have surrendered. You don't have to hold on any longer. Our army) (X Division Political Commissar Major General Lugotsev

, I can prove that our Comrade Zhukov has arrived at the prisoner of war camp in Khabarovsk. He has already sent a call in Khabarovsk asking everyone to put down their weapons... The electric speaker is on

, the Soviet political commissars, who were stared at by Chinese translators and had guns pointed at their heads by the military police, worked very hard. In just a few minutes, they took turns to fight, and their true or false numbers were revealed one by one. These people were either political commissars or regimental commanders and battalion commanders.

, all of them are very distinguished, some are coercive, some are inducement, and some are promoting the prisoner policy of the National Defense Forces, explaining some of the differences in treatment between prisoners and voluntary surrender, etc.

"Will this trick work?"

Ye Long stared at this crappy surrender team with his mouth open. He had seen political propaganda teams before. Even the Sixth Armored Group Army he commanded had such a special propaganda team, but he boldly used high-level Soviet prisoners like this and made them willing to do so.

It was the first time he had heard of the people who were impatient to surrender.

This Hou Xiaoshan is really a weirdo, a new division commander of the National Defense Force who doesn't play by common sense.

"General, the Chinese are trying to persuade us to surrender, and we, the Soviets, are the ones trying to persuade us to surrender..."

A staff officer walked up to Lieutenant General Kurbatkin who was sitting against the bunker and said with a low expression. Although the violent Chinese shelling just lasted for a short time, it was very powerful and destroyed many hidden bunkers.

, and several trenches were blown to the ground. An artillery bombardment that took less than a few minutes caused more than 200 casualties, which was extremely heavy.

"The glory of the Soviet Union can no longer cover the Far East. Order the surrender."

Lieutenant General Kurbatkin leaned there with a dejected expression. He no longer had the glory of the past. The all-powerful general who came from a small soldier all the way, a legend in the Far East Red Army, a role model for the Bolsheviks, he even once participated in

During the Red Square military parade, he was received by the top leader of the Bolsheviks... Too many honors, just because he was a lucky, good at fighting, brave general, a hero of the Soviet Union who rose from a soldier to a high position as a general.

Now, these honors have become the dust of the past. "Comrade Barsukov, I order you to lead the army to surrender to the Chinese. The war has failed, at least in the Far East. Your task is to lead them to the prisoner of war camp,

Fight for them to be free one day.'

Lieutenant General Kurbatkin said to the political commissar that he saw signs of surrender opportunism in the political commissar's twinkling eyes.

But at this time, what else is important about these things?

After the defeat of millions of Soviet troops, the Allied forces in the Far East were divided into two parts: the Japanese army, the American army and the Soviet remnants. Evacuation was the best outcome, and the worst outcome was to be surrounded by the Chinese army, and then the entire Chinese population would be

Send out hundreds of thousands or even millions of war prisoners to build railways, airports and even residential buildings for them... "Yes, Lieutenant General, I will follow your order."

"You guys go out."

Lieutenant General Kurbatkin motioned for everyone to get out. The bunker even had only one wooden door that could not be locked. The intact house had already been blown up. All of this highlighted the vicissitudes of the defeated people.
