Chapter 433: Looting the Soviet Union(2/2)
The loud whistle sounded. Hua Jingou, who was originally a little slow, quickly packed up his clothes. The comrades next to him also got up and quickly dressed in the small tent.
"It's 10 minutes to eat, let's start!"
Dozens of large pots were placed open on the snow, and soldiers lined up to quickly get food.
It was Hua Jingou's turn. He quickly took the breakfast in his military lunch box and then began to look at it.
"A box of lean meat and egg porridge, two steamed buns, a small spoonful of pickles, and a hot pork shank."
Looking at this rich breakfast, Hua Jingou was slightly excited, which meant that there might be a war soon.
Sure enough, just ten minutes after breakfast ended, the soldiers wiped the marching lunch boxes clean with water or snow residue, and the gunshot sounded again. The troops quickly assembled, and then the commander announced their departure.
Sitting on tanks, self-propelled artillery, armored vehicles, and a large number of military trucks, Hua Jingou roughly estimated that there were about one and a half divisions of troops. The 473rd Division was all there, the 474th Division looked like a regiment, and the rest was the Third Division.
When he saw the troops of the Armored Group Army, what he saw the most was not just tanks, but also powerful self-propelled artillery vehicles.
It only took less than 40 minutes for the huge offensive convoy to reach the outside of the Soviet defense line, killing many small Soviet troops along the way. Naturally, people and cars could not outrun the tanks and artillery. However, the troops were exposed
’ It’s natural that the vast Soviet territory along the way makes it really difficult to hide such a large-scale enemy force.
When this force, consisting of one tank armored division and one and a half infantry divisions, came up, the battle alarm had just sounded on the Soviet position. Through the faint morning light, the telescope could see the "chaos" of the Soviet troops on the opposite position.
They formed a group, and the machine guns in some bunkers even fired towards the shadow area in the distance, for fear of being "touched" by the enemy.
The commander of the Imperial Army's battle was Lieutenant General Li Jiajue, the commander of the 17th Army. Although he was not in command of the armored forces, the 17th Army also had tank troops. As a senior general, he naturally knew what to do now.
"Reporting that the Air Force's fighter and bomber combat units have arrived over the battlefield and are ready to provide air support to our army and suppress the enemy at any time."
"Very good! All artillery fire, target sections 4 to 6, feign attack on sections 1 to 3, concentrate firepower, and open fire three minutes later! Request the air force to be vigilant about the Soviet air force while concentrating firepower to attack positions 4 to 6."
Lieutenant General Li Jiajue looked at his watch, checked the time, and simply issued an order. For such a line of defense, in front of an armored tank division, choosing an inconspicuous position to break through is the simplest way. The same is true for the Germans.
It was done, and it worked over and over again. The method was very simple, but the Soviets just couldn't prevent it. In the final analysis, they lacked a large artillery group, powerful air support, positional anti-tank weapons, and even tanks.
In order to prevent the offensive forces from being suppressed by the Soviet air force, the Imperial Air Force has always followed the army. Once a place is occupied, the military airport or field airport there will be quickly cleared, no matter how many roads or temporary flat training grounds there are.
The similar ones will also be cleared out, and then the air force will move forward in a leap. If it has a small range, it will turn a few times, and if it has a long range, it can support the front line in one go.
However, the Soviet army concentrated its aircraft to the Moscow theater and the triangle area in the north near Hoqubong Province and Beihai Province. Only a few junk aircraft were left in other places.
At this time, the Soviet troops on the opposite side were still in a state of extreme panic. They were originally one or two thousand kilometers away from the Chinese, but unexpectedly they were beaten to the doorstep.
"Fire!!"
