Chapter 394: Hundreds of Thousands of Captives(1/2)

,

spn Far East, Allied Command.

Bradley, the actual supreme commander of the Far ASEAN Army, had a bad premonition since he got the Chinese army appeared outside the defense line of Bellozowei Town.

"Does the Chinese want to concentrate their troops to capture Beliao Zuowei Town and then go straight in?" Although the defeat of the Soviet army had a great impact on him, it was far less than the bad influence of the US military being completely wiped out. When he thought that the Chinese might pursue them desperately and take down the entire Far East with millions of troops in one go, he was very uneasy.

"Impossible. I have two million troops in the Vanino area. It seems that I need to ask the Japanese to do something."

Bradley's idea was to ask the Japanese army to take offensive momentum, echoing the Allied defense line in Bellozowei Town.[

But soon, news came that made Bradley breathe a sigh of relief.

"The ** team is concentrating their forces to attack the Japanese army, and some of the main forces are pursuing the Soviet army's fleeing troops. At present, the ** team on the periphery of the defense line of Biliao Zuowei Town has been proven not to be the main force." This is good news. Even in a moment, Bradley wanted to give up on the Japanese army and just need to help the Soviet army escape. After all, it is not possible to rescue the Japanese army with hundreds of thousands of US troops.

"Let the Japanese organize their retreat on their own. The millions of elite Chinese soldiers have no power to stop in the Far East."

Bradley decided to immediately apply to the Allied senior officials and the US government to evacuate the Far East. The situation in the Far East has deteriorated so much that it cannot continue to persist.

Of course, in order to evacuate in a glorious way, he still needs to do something, that is, to take as many Soviet troops as possible, just thinking that if he could take hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops to withdraw back to the United States, even if he was defeated in the Far East, he would still be a war hero.

In war, as long as the last moment is not reached, the success of failure and victory can be defined as "sex".

"Order the Eighth Air Force to speed up the support of Beliozowei Town battlefield, and the Ninth Air Force to reduce the

Support to the Japanese army of Vanino will increase reinforcements to the town of Beliozowei. Be sure to ensure the safety of the defense line. If a person is broken here, there will be a law to recover the losses."

Bradley couldn't even ignore the Japanese. Although from the entire map, the Japanese were in danger of being surrounded, he had only more than 500,000 US troops and hundreds of thousands of Soviet remnants in his hands, so he could not attack the millions of Chinese teams.

He knew very well that this was the main battlefield with the world's powerful country, China, and not Africa. One regiment could sweep a million square kilometers of Africa.

Once the U.S. government reached a final consensus with the Allied Supreme Command and made a decision, he would decisively implement it. With Bradley's understanding of Eisenhower and Washington's decision-making, evacuation is the most likely result.

Therefore, he had ordered the US troops along the way to prepare for maintenance of cars and stock oil, and strengthen some roads and bridges to retreat quickly.

The newly formed Pacific Fleet also sent some of its main forces into the Sea of ​​Okhotsk to respond at any time.

However, just half an hour later, the orders from the Allied top leaders and Washington did not wait, but Bradley waited for very bad news.

"General, we just received the news that the Chinese sent a large number of troops to set up a blocking defense line less than five kilometers away from Liao Zuowei Town. Just 30 minutes ago, the Soviet defeated troops of about 20,000 people had been blocked and captured by them.,...

"What!!" Bradley was shocked. He thought that the Chinese were just sending small troops to disturb the Soviet army's escape, but he didn't expect that they were so brave that they wanted to eat all the hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops.

This was his greatest reliance on retreat. Only by retreating with hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops and making the most active remedies can Bradley win glory in the post-war summary, rather than being dismissed or even held accountable.

The Chinese are really too brave. After replenishing, there were four US military divisions and two Soviet army troops with nearly 200,000 troops deployed defenses in Beliaozowei Town. They actually dared to send vanguard troops to block the retreating Soviet army five kilometers away.

"map!"[

Bradley shouted loudly, and then the staff members rushed to simulate the latest situation on the sand table. As they watched, the general's brows became tighter and tighter.

Judging from the sand table, hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops were rushing towards Beliao Zuowei Town. These Soviet troops not only robbed the road in a great defeat, but also lost command and only knew to follow the large troops. Commands at all levels had completely collapsed, and sporadic communications laws were smooth. Most troops were continuing to advance towards Beliao Zuowei Town according to the evacuation orders they received initially.

Judging from the traces of the "Zhong" team that had been discovered, they were marked red on the sand table. The entire Soviet army defeated soldiers formed a large encirclement by two big red arrows and the five-kilometer block of Liao Zuowei Town, and this encirclement is constantly shrinking.

Bellozowei Town is the last pocket.

"The situation has actually worsened to this point." Bradley only felt a little cold. No matter he was a well-known veteran of the US military, he felt it was too difficult. The Soviet army had never had such situations where hundreds of thousands of people were surrounded. The Germans often used millions or even two million troops to surround hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops, and they often succeeded.

But it was a battle, a battle that lasted for a long time.

And what about this time?

In just one day, hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops were surrounded by siege, not to mention that little one

Two million Japanese troops surrounded by the Chinese and the sea, hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops were actually surrounded during the crazy evacuation.

"The years of war greatly weakened the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army in the Far East. The combat will and equipment were extremely damaged. The collapse of the command mechanism, the strong offensive power of the "China-China-Central Team", the stronger the artillery group, the stronger the air force, and the elite "China-Central Team" with the advantageous number,..."

Bradley thought in his heart that the Chinese had the advantage, yes, the Chinese people's advantages are too strong.

"Maybe this time is the real military power of the Chinese. In the past, the Chinese were just fighting a battle with the power of a war zone, but this time they were concentrating their efforts."

Bradley knew that action must be taken quickly.

"If we have no reply after three hours, and the rescue of the Soviet army in Beliaozowei Town failed, we will evacuate the Far East by ourselves... In addition, we ordered the 33rd Soviet Army to go to the 5692 Highlands to drive away the "Chinese" team here to ensure the evacuation of the large army.

I ordered the Japanese army to break through to us if they were to do so, and I would recommend that they arrange their own evacuation at sea."

Bradley knew very well that although the Allies in the Far East had scattered and more than 250

Ten thousand, but the layout is too scattered and it is surrounded by segments. The most important thing is that they are not facing 2.5 million Chinese teams. According to the latest news, the total force used by the Chinese people reached 4 million, which is definitely a rare in the world. Even if most of the Chinese troops have been proven to be used to encircle the Japanese army and are gradually narrowing the encirclement, that is, China and Japan will have a cruel battle of siege and anti-encirclement, but the remaining Chinese teams are enough to deal with the remaining Allied forces.

So soon, the 33rd Army Group 5 of the Soviet Far East Military Region commanded by Soviet General Shurupov

The troops of more than 10,000 people began to set off to the 5692 Highland, which was only five kilometers away.

Their journey was not smooth, five kilometers were straight-line. In order to avoid the bombing of Chinese planes, they needed to march in the mountains and jungles. They originally only had to walk 10 minutes, but now they had to walk at least 30 minutes.

〖Chinese people even have so many planes that they can see several when they look up at the sky, and once a large-scale march is about to attract dozens of them immediately.

Therefore, when the Soviet army was in a desperate situation, the Japanese army began to realize the great crisis. The Soviet army was defeated, but only seventy or eight hundred thousand remaining soldiers. If the Japanese army was defeated and surrounded and annihilated, it would be 2 million. It is doubtful that once the worst case occurs, it will be the most amazing war since World War II, and even in the history of human wars.[

The 5692 Highland, which is the line of defense between the 166th Division and the 22nd Armored Division of the 5692nd Division of the 〖中〗** team.

"I didn't expect the war to be like this."

Faced with the situation in front of him, Hou Xiaoshan and Zhang Jing felt a little confused.

Originally, the Soviet army's fleeing troops of a scale of 50,000 should be a big threat. Not to mention eating two defense divisions, it would at least cause great trouble.

For example, only if these tens of thousands of Soviet troops support a period of time, a second Soviet brigade of ten thousand people or even more Soviet troops will arrive later, thus developing into a wave-like Soviet defeated troops that attack the defense line.

However, the situation is very unexpected.

The 50,000 Soviet army was first bombed and attacked by a group of National Defense Forces attack aircraft and bombers and passing fighters. Then, the armored troops of the 22nd Division began to assault.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the two divisions who were ready for a tough battle were surprised to find that the Soviet army did not resist, especially when some Soviet troops surrendered, this surrender atmosphere began to spread explosively.

A large number of Soviet troops stayed there and threw their guns to the ground. When the National Defense Forces tank arrived, they pointed at the muzzle. Even if there was only one tank and pointed at a thousand Soviet troops, they would subconsciously raise their hands.

From the crazy attack before dawn and then fleeing for dozens of kilometers, I didn't expect that the Soviet troops would be rushed in front of them. These Soviet troops no longer wanted to resist. If the officers in military coats were killed by the snipers of the squad, the speed of surrender would be faster.

Hou Xiaoshan raised his telescope, and the Soviet army in the valley was quickly lined up in long lines, pointing directly at the muzzles of tanks, armored vehicles and the Wehrmachts of the officers and soldiers of the National Defense Forces, and cooperated toward the left valley where the prisoners were imprisoned.

The exhausted and dejected Soviet officers and soldiers walked into this crude temporary prisoner of war camp one by one.

"Create power to the command center and report that we have captured 70,000 Soviet troops here."

The two division commanders had no choice. At this time, the prisoners were not allowed to be taken away, nor could they be killed, so they could only be taken care of on the spot.

The continuous defeated troops were still coming. Although there were no more large-scale defeats of 50,000 people, in less than an hour, more than 30,000 prisoners were added. Nearly 100,000 prisoners of war camp next to the 5692 Highlands had imprisoned nearly 100,000 prisoners of war.

"No, we must escort prisoners of war towards Boli, otherwise if there is a situation in the direction of Biliao Zuowei Town, these prisoners of war are likely to have problems. "After discussing, the final result is that the 166th Division divided into a battalion, while the 22nd Tank Division sent a tank battalion to escort 100,000 Soviet troops to move to Gongqingcheng. More than 30 kilometers away, there were several divisions surrounded by the National Defense Forces, and the encirclement was rapidly shrinking.

The prisoners of war were quickly taken away, but 30 minutes were still wasted, and the 5692 Highland finally gave up a heartache.

When more than 10,000 Soviet troops were captured in the temporary prisoner camp, bad news finally came from Beliaozowei Town.

A large number of Soviet troops were found 1 kilometer away from the blocking defense line, and finally confirmed that there was a Soviet army group.

Just ten minutes later, a regiment of the 166th Division and a regiment of the 22nd Tank Division fought with the enemy.

There was no time to build a position. Relying on the hilltop, the Second Regiment of the 166th Division broke out in fierce firefighting with the Soviet army, while the Third Regiment of the 22nd Division of the Tandong was waiting for an opportunity to launch an attack, dispersing the Soviet army's offensive formation several times.

Soon, the Soviet army discovered that the sneak attack failed and changed to a strong attack. The Soviet army, which was everywhere in the mountains, began to attack the "Zhong"** team on the top of the mountain.

"Please pay attention to sweeping and firing the roof machine gun, and targeting the most Soviet soldiers."

The Soviet army, which lacked enough anti-tank weapons and had no heavy artillery, could not do anything to Chinese tanks, but could climb mountains. After all, Chinese tanks could not climb too high.

At the most tense time, the Soviet army even climbed up the mountain less than 50 meters away from the National Defense Forces soldiers.

"Put the flat high-fire cannon and shoot it for me!"

At the critical moment, Zhang Jing, the commander of the 22nd Tank Division, ordered the high-fire guns on the tank division's self-propelled high-fire gun chariot to level the high-fire guns, and concentrated firepower to cover the 50-meter position at the front of the 166th Division's Second Regiment, which saved the crisis.

Boom! Boom!"

Bang bang bang bang………

The fire exchange was fierce and the troops were disparate. The Soviet rescue troops suffered losses because they had no artillery, no tanks and armored vehicles, and there was also a lack of anti-tank weapons. During this period, they were repeatedly bombarded and attacked by passing Chinese aircraft.

"You can't be beaten by the pressure all the time. The 1st regiment gave Lou Zi the flank and cooperated with Commander Zhang's tank.

Give me a counterattack.”

More than ten minutes later, when the Soviet army defeated troops on the front had not arrived yet, the 166th Division gathered two regiments, and with the assistance of a half-regiment tank unit, successfully launched a counterattack, drove the Soviet army backward for more than a kilometer and captured more than 1,500 prisoners.

"You persist for a while. In thirty minutes, the main force will complete the closing mission of the large encirclement. There will be a bomber and attacking pilot to support you soon. That is the air support personally transferred by Commander Huo." The wire order from Commander Fu Zuoyi of the 13th Army finally breathed a sigh of relief and rushed forward. The main force was about to complete the detour of the large encirclement. After Huo Weiguo got a rescue force from a Soviet army, he tried his best to gather two air pilots to support him.

This is no longer an era when the attack troops need to hold back the enemy at the cost of complete destruction or death or injury, at least not for the National Defense Forces.

The attack of the Soviet 33rd Army has not been effective for a long time. After all, it is facing an almost full Chinese field elite division and the tank division of the main tank army. It is not easy to easily tear the defense line without heavy weapons and air support.

What the Allied Laws understood afterwards was that the rear of the 5692 Highland was fighting fiercely, but on the front position less than 2 kilometers apart, the Soviet army was still surrendering, as if the sound of gunfire not only did not give the Soviet army hope, but instead made them think that the "China team" was attacking fiercely in the front, and the speed of surrender was even faster.

Finally, after more than four hours of persistence, the main force arrived shortly after two air force divisions crazily bombed the defeated troops and the Soviet 33rd Army.

Looking at Commander Fu Zuoyi who was climbing up the ridge in an armored vehicle and the commanders of several other brother troops, Hou Xiaoshan and Zhang Jing knew that they had made a big profit after the right bet.

"Welcome Commander Fu and all the officials, we have worked so hard for you, haha."

Hou Xiaoshan and Zhang Jing hurriedly met him.
