Chapter 3154 Broken Blood
Although Vatutin was shocked by the rocket raid of the Chinese Far East Army, he still made the most correct reaction at the first time, that is, he immediately took back all the front-line troops that could be withdrawn, and sent them to Irkutsk. Build new lines of defense.And in the telegram to Zhukov the next day, he explained the reason for doing so in this way, thinking that before finding a way to restrain the Chinese rocket raid tactics, what the Soviet Red Army should do is not how to repel the Chinese aggression, but should Avoid being locked by the Chinese again to avoid repeating the same mistakes.

Vatutin made this decision after careful consideration.Because of the special political environment of Soviet Russia, he knew very well that once such a decision was made, it would mean that unless he could achieve a record that was no less than the total annihilation of two tank divisions of the enemy army, otherwise, he would be defeated once and for all. When the war is over, what awaits him is a career behind bars.However, he really couldn't do such a thing as letting him leave the first-line troops alone and watch them being eaten by the Chinese army step by step.So, after some ideological struggle, in the end, he chose to keep the army regardless of his personal future.

The matter is so important that Zhukov dared not specialize in it, so he could only report to Stalin and ask him for tactical guidance.

Last night, Stalin had already received Vatutin's report.At that time, his first reaction was to immediately call back and reprimand Vatutin very unceremoniously, and asked him to carefully inspect the staff around him, thinking that "the quality of the staff of the Northern Front Army Command needs to be improved."Yes, Stalin did not believe at all that "two of the most elite tank divisions were wiped out by the Chinese rockets", and thought that the communications staff of the Northern Front Army had made a language error when sending a telegram.

It wasn't until he received Zhukov's telegram that he realized that what seemed to be a fantasy was actually true.

"Isn't Vatutin an expert in armored warfare? How could he make such a mistake? Two tank divisions? How many tank divisions are there in the entire Soviet? He thought tanks were dolls in the hands of children, and he wanted as many as he wanted Is it?” As a dictator, Stalin’s way of thinking was fixed after he became the No.1 of Soviet Russia.That is to say, mistakes and failures must be human factors, and they are all the result of the people below not acting according to his orders.Naturally, they should bear all the consequences for their mistakes.

If it is said that the loss of two tank divisions was in vain, Stalin could still accept it while pinching his nose (Vatutin and Zhukov have not reported the matter of the Seventh Army, maybe they think that the Seventh Army still has the possibility of returning the whole army), Vatutin arbitrarily ordered the troops to abandon the first-line positions on the west bank of Lake Baikal. In his opinion, it was unbearable. "Every inch of the Soviet land is sacred and inviolable. As a Red Army soldier, you should fight the enemy to the end! Vatutin, a bastard, who gave him the right to retreat? Beria, let the Security Bureau escort him immediately Come to Moscow, and I will personally interrogate this bastard..." Even though "two of the most elite tank divisions were destroyed by the Chinese with a single rocket shot", after all, he did not see it with his own eyes, so Stalin could not understand Vatutin's words at all. Strategic retreat.

Almost at the same time, in Chongqing, Ouyang Yun also received a report from Zhang Zizhong.Unlike Stalin, he certainly had an uncontrollable smile on his face.

"The Far Eastern Army got off to a good start. It not only wiped out the two main tank divisions of the Soviet Russian Northern Front Army, but also surrounded the Seventh Army in Kurtuk. If there is no accident, at the latest tomorrow, Jiang Tieyao's Far Eastern A group of armies can completely wipe out this enemy army. There is Severobaikalsk on the front of Lake Baikal, Chen Deru and Wawsky's Far East Second and Third Group Armies also performed well, and they all repelled their respective frontal enemies. Soviet Russians Taking the initiative to retreat should be because we are afraid of our missile tactical troops, what a pity, what a pity!" Ouyang Yun said with a smile that it was a pity, and the others were inevitably curious.

He Yingqin asked jokingly, "Boss, what's the pity?"

"Missiles are too expensive! It is impossible to install them. Otherwise, why should we be afraid of the alliance between the United States, Britain, Japan and the Soviet Union?"

Ouyang Yun knew the power of the missile anyway, so although he was surprised, he did not suspect that Zhang Zizhong would lie about the military situation.In the eyes of He Yingqin, Feng Yuxiang and others, Zhang Zizhong's victory telegram seemed to contain too much credit.

"Only using the Second Artillery, an elite tank division of the Soviet Union was completely wiped out, and it was separated by a distance of [-] kilometers. This, is this impossible?" He Yingqin.

"It's unbelievable, but General Zhang Zizhong is not the type to talk nonsense. Chief, is this missile really so powerful?" It was Deng Xihou who asked this question.

"Honestly, I was also surprised. But I believe it is true, but after all, missiles are a deterrent force, and it is impossible to equip them on a large scale. Otherwise—by the way, Commander-in-Chief Zhang asked us for the next action plan. Everyone Let's talk about it."

"Counting it all together, the Soviet Russians will be annihilated by five divisions, that is, more than [-] people. Can it be said that the pre-war goal has been achieved? After all, we still do not have the ability to wage an all-out war with the Soviet Union. Is it good? Just take it?" He Yingqin said, not forgetting to look at Ouyang Yun.

He Yingqin had reservations before allowing the Far Eastern Army to take the initiative to attack the Soviet Red Army.In private, he even asserted that Ouyang Yun made this decision to die, which would ruin the good situation in the Far East and even Outer Mongolia.And even now, he does not believe that China has the ability to defeat Soviet Russia.

"The total strength of the Soviet Russians in the Far East is more than 50, right? The Far Eastern Army eats up [-] at once, which should make the Soviet Russians suffer for a while. I also think it should be accepted as soon as it is good," Li Zongren said.

This was obviously not the answer Ouyang Yun wanted, he looked at Deng Xihou.

Deng Xihou is known as the Crystal Monkey, and observing his appearance is his forte.He considered for a while, and said: "The opinions of Vice President He and Chief Counselor Li are safe. However, I think we can consider it from the perspective of the Soviets. There is no doubt that because of the excellent Second Artillery Corps of Wang Yicheng The Soviet Russians must feel very hurt. But what kind of temper is Stalin, would he be afraid? I don’t think so. If this is the case, we should take advantage of the situation and beat the Soviet Russians completely. I suggest, don’t Considering the cost, let Wang Yicheng use missiles to teach the Soviets a good lesson. Well, I think that the Siberian Railway, which is specially targeted at the Soviets, will be bombed to completely paralyze the Soviets’ logistics supply line!”

The importance of the Trans-Siberian Railway to the Far East of Soviet Russia is self-evident. In the absence of enough large transport aircraft, the Soviet Russians must rely on this railway if they want to use troops in the Far East.And if the missile force can be used to turn the Trans-Siberian Railway into scrap iron, even if the Soviets can muster up the courage to ignore the threat of missiles, logistical supplies will become a hurdle that cannot be overcome, seriously lagging behind their military operations——

A smile appeared on Ouyang Yun's face again.
