"No!" Xiao Yao admitted very simply, "This is not a case.
I only have guesses and reasoning, no evidence!"
"Second Young Master!" Chen Wenqi hurried over, "We found the surviving soldiers!"
Seven or eight blood-stained soldiers were carried over on stretchers. After verification, they all belonged to the soldiers of the 135th Division, and they were all soldiers who were responsible for protecting a certain ammunition depot at that time. All of them were seriously injured.
Jiang Weiguo first expressed condolences to them, and then asked about the situation at that time.
"We...we were on duty at the time, and when it was time for the scheduled shift change...we saw a group of brothers approaching. They reported their family background as our teacher. They didn't look like Russians, they were Chinese, they spoke Chinese, and they were from Sichuan. We believed in the dialect, so we changed shifts with them. Unexpectedly, they suddenly attacked us, fired at us, and then got into the ammunition depot and detonated the ammunition...The brothers were killed and a large area was blown away..."
After Jiang Weiguo listened to the wounded soldiers' intermittent reports with the same meaning, he ordered them to be carried down for treatment, and then looked at Xiao Yao with puzzled eyes, because the situation described by the wounded soldiers was completely different from Xiao Yao's analysis.
"This matter...is really weird..." Xiao Yao looked at Jiang Weiguo, his eyes became very strange.
Fu Zuoyi ordered Chen Wenqi to be in charge of strictly investigating this matter, and Yang Hanzhong, the commander of the 135th Division, was temporarily detained.
This matter is very serious and confusing, but for the defenders of Champion City, the top priority is not to find out the truth and deal with the real culprit, but to resist the next wave of Soviet attacks.
After three days and three nights of fierce fighting, Champion City remained firm as a rock, while the besieging Soviet army suffered heavy casualties and losses.
The 22nd Army of the Soviet Army that took part in the war has suffered a total of nearly 6 casualties, and the total strength of the army before participating in the war was only 11, more than half of the total casualties. However, the defenders also suffered great losses. The casualties of the 202nd Division The number of people has exceeded 20, and the [-]th Army, which was fighting in coordination, also lost seven to eight thousand troops.
Facing this situation, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet army, Golikov, was completely terrified. He did not dare to continue the storm. Fortunately, the Chinese army "saved him some face". After the night-time pursuit, the Nanjing army quickly withdrew. The original position allowed the Soviet army to return to the city again.
About three-quarters of the entire Champion City is in the hands of the Nanjing Army, and about one-quarter is in the hands of the Soviet Army.
The reason why the Nanjing Army did not drive the Soviet army out of the city in one go and then keep the Soviet army out of the city was mainly due to four reasons. The entire urban area is owned by the Nanjing Army, and the Soviet Army will bombard the urban area endlessly. It is more beneficial for the Nanjing Army to let the Soviet Army come in. Second, the Nanjing Army has already suffered very serious casualties. The density of troops on the ground is naturally not as good as before. Rather than dispersing all the troops, it is better to close the defense area. The third is to continue to lure the Soviet army so that the Soviet army will not give up and continue to attack the Champion City.
Champion City is like a piece of fat. It is definitely not the goal of the Nanjing Army to be swallowed by the Soviet Army. If the Soviet Army cannot reach its mouth, it may make the Soviet Army give up eating this piece of fat. The best situation is to let the Soviet Army swallow it. Li couldn't swallow it.
"If the Soviet army is completely driven out of the city by us, it means that the Soviet army will not be able to capture the Champion City. Stalin will be furious. He will kill Golikov first, and then give up the plan to capture the Champion City!" Fu Zuoyi said with a smile. , "So, we must continue to make Stalin think that Golikov can capture the champion city, and not give up the battle plan. Stalin has an explanation, which can also leave him no choice!"
The facts are just as Fu Zuoyi speculated.
After the Nanjing army launched a night attack and counterattacked the Soviet army, Stalin personally called Golikov, scolded Golikov, and kept silent. Finally, Stalin asked Golikov:
"Comrade Golikov, tell me, can you take back Omsk (Champion City)?"
Golikov had no other choice of answer at all. He tried his best to sound confident: "Of course, Comrade Stalin! In fact, although the Chinese army's counterattack caused a certain blow to our army, it also caused their The remaining strength has been exhausted, and as long as the follow-up 30th Army arrives and joins the battle, the recovery of Omsk will undoubtedly win!"
"Are you sure?" Stalin's voice sounded extremely cold, full of his characteristic suspicion.
"I'm sure!" Golikov gritted his teeth, "I guarantee you with my life! Right now, our army controls nearly half of the city, which already shows the fact that the Chinese army has been exhausted.
If they really turned defeat into victory, how could they sit back and watch our army attack the city again without organizing a strong counterattack?Comrade Stalin, our army did not occupy the entire city of Omsk only because our army needed more troops! "
"I hope so, I hope you don't let me down!" Stalin hung up the phone heavily.
On the other end of the phone, Golikov slumped down on the chair profusely with sweat as if he was exhausted. He felt a cold panic in his heart. He realized that his selfishness and profit made him fall into a dangerous situation that he couldn't extricate himself from. My own life and future have become the stakes of this big bet.
"If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have vetoed Zhukov's battle plan..." He smiled regretfully.
The Nanjing Army, which won the night attack and counterattack, tore a gap in the fragile encirclement of the Soviet Army. The gap was in the north of Champion City, and part of the Chinese army entered the suburban field in the north of Champion City. Golikov did not agree with this. I am very worried, because the northern part of Champion City is wild snow and boundless virgin forest. If the Nanjing Army in the city breaks through to the north, it will be a dead end. The effective passage between Champion City and the outside world is the wharf, where there are ferries and At the intersection, if the Nanjing Army captures it, it will be able to get assistance from the three cities in the northeast of Kazakhstan, but the fact is that the Nanjing Army has not recaptured the pier, which means that Champion City is still surrounded by the Soviet Army.
"There is no need to intercept!" Golikov told Lieutenant General Yershakov, commander of the 22nd Army who reported the incident, "We are short of troops and unable to intercept, and we hope they escape from the gap in the north of the city! Then we can liberate Omsk without bloodshed!"
The result of the Soviet army's reconnaissance was that the Nanjing army who left the city through the gap in the north of the city did not flee, but felled a large number of trees and transported them into the city, and built fortifications against time, preparing to continue the bloody battle with the Soviet army to the end.
"Has Feng's Security Department reinforced Omsk?" Golikov asked the intelligence officer.
"No!" The intelligence officer replied bluntly.
"That's good!" Golikov breathed a sigh of relief, "One day, the 30th Army will arrive, and then we will be able to liberate Omsk in one fell swoop!"
Chapter 565 Who will win the game (10)
Somewhere in the wilderness outside the Champion City, two people whose faces were hidden in the darkness were talking in a dark forest:
"Does the Nanjing Army plan to abandon this place?"
"No!"
"Why so sure?"
"Because Jiang Weiguo is still here!"
"The 30th Army of the Soviet Army has arrived here, but he hasn't left yet? Is it because reinforcements from the Nanjing Army have arrived?"
"No reinforcements.
The person who can reinforce here is Feng Zhi'an, but Feng Zhi'an has not moved.
Fu Zuoyi has already ordered Feng Zhi'an to reinforce here, but Feng Zhi'an is still silent!"
"Oh? Could it be...Feng Zhi'an is also one of us?"
"Your guess is very interesting, but we don't need to confirm this guess, we just need to obey the arrangement!"
"Well, you are right, remember, keep an eye on Jiang Weiguo, he is the most direct sign.
He left, which meant that this place was going to be lost, if he stayed, it would be better, let him die here!I hope that there are too many people who died here. We have to borrow a knife to kill people. I guess he was still a fool when he died! "
"So much ammunition and rations were lost at once, and the follow-up troops of the Soviet army have arrived again. He is doomed!"
In the Nanjing Army General Headquarters in Champion City, Fu Zuoyi and Guo Jiqiao are persuading Jiang Weiguo earnestly, asking Jiang Weiguo to "go back and forth from wherever".
The two generals were so anxious that they scratched their heads, and what they said were heart-to-heart words, but Jiang Weiguo was very stubborn and said firmly: "Bosses, you didn't leave, neither did Brother Wanqian, do I want to be a deserter? "Jiang Weiguo uttered these righteous and righteous words decisively and loudly, which immediately moved all the middle-level officers on the scene to tears, and their feelings for Jiang Weiguo were even more awe-inspiring.
Fu Zuoyi was going crazy, he really wanted to kneel and kowtow to Jiang Weiguo: "Second Young Master, please!" His expression was exasperated, "Please don't be so hot-blooded and dizzy, can you? You are not an ordinary person! You I said, 'With great power comes great responsibility', you have too many things on your shoulders, if something happens to you here, what will happen to the country? What will happen to this war? I beg you! You Hurry up! If you leave, we will be free to fight the Soviet army to the end!"
Jiang Weiguo was still so stubborn that he couldn't get in: "No! I won't go!"
At first Fu Zuoyi and Guo Jiqiao thought that Jiang Weiguo was just "acting", but they didn't expect him to be "playing for real", and they were completely at a loss.
Since ancient times, there has been a set of unspoken rules in Chinese official circles. The superiors are pretending to be acting, and the subordinates must keenly figure out the thoughts of the superiors and cooperate. To give a simple example, Cao Cao led the army to fight in the war, in order to win people's hearts and protect agriculture. , Cao Cao announced that "whoever tramples on the wheat field will be beheaded." Unexpectedly, his own horse was frightened and ran into the wheat field. According to the military law set by himself, he must be beheaded, so things became very delicate , Cao Cao, as a leader, must be "selfless and self-disciplined", so he solemnly announced that he would behead himself according to law, but would his subordinates dare to really behead him?On the contrary, civil servants and military generals knelt down to intercede desperately with Cao Cao himself, and found various reasons for Cao Cao to shirk his responsibility for self-judgment. So, under the "pleading" of many subordinates, Cao Cao reluctantly chose "" Cut the hair and replace the head."
It is conceivable that if there is any official or general who "enforces the law impartially" at this time, and opens his mouth to say, "My lord should really commit suicide or be beheaded, because this is a military rule made by you, lord", the result of this person will not need to be said. of.
In fact, when Cao Cao pretended to commit suicide, he definitely did not want to die. His subordinates also knew that Cao Cao did not want to commit suicide at all. It is necessary to cooperate with Cao Cao in acting. In the end, the monarch and his ministers are happy together.
In Fu Zuoyi and Guo Jiqiao's eyes, Jiang Weiguo's behavior at this time was also playing tricks. Of course, Fu Zuoyi and Guo Jiqiao did not despise Jiang Weiguo, nor did they feel that he was hypocritical. It is very rare and rare, not to mention that he can persist here for so long. There is no legal norm or moral code in the world that requires Jiang Weiguo to really treat himself as an ordinary soldier. Jiang Weiguo has done enough. Fu Zuoyi and Guo Ji Qiao still admires Jiang Weiguo very much. Right now, Jiang Weiguo refuses to leave. They think that Jiang Weiguo is "pretending to be a gesture". , he must be "firm as iron", and at this time, Fu Zuoyi, Guo Jiqiao and others are needed to cooperate with him in acting, and give Jiang Weiguo a step down.
However, Fu Zuoyi, Guo Jiqiao and others never expected that Jiang Weiguo was serious. The shock in their hearts was no less than that of Cao Jun soldiers who saw Cao Cao really wiped his neck and killed himself.
Of course Jiang Weiguo is not a fool who automatically seeks death. It must be false to say that he does not want to run away. He himself does not believe in his "resolute decision". The biggest reason for him to stay is Xiao Yao's "strong remonstrance".
"When you leave Champion City at this time, even Mrs. Liu Si's father (Liu Yazi), who is extremely displeased with you, is impeccable towards you, but you can't leave!" Xiao Yao said to Jiang Weiguo, " That's right, the 202nd Division is about to be completely annihilated, and the Soviet army is about to capture Champion City. It is precisely at this last moment that you can continue to stand here, which will boost morale and boost the morale of the army. No less than you came here in person earlier.
To put it another way, if you leave, the morale and morale of the defending troops will not be exhausted. It is enough for them that you can come. After you leave, the brothers will understand that the time to serve the country has come. They don't have any other thoughts, they know in their hearts that they are bound to die, and killing a few more Soviet troops before they die is their only thought; if you stay, the effect will still be the same, and the brothers will have a hope that you will die before you die. So you insist on not leaving because you are confident that our army will win. Either reinforcements are coming, or you have some killer hidden to turn the tide.
Those who are driven to a dead end without hope, and those who are driven to a dead end but have a glimmer of hope, are equally unstoppable!"
Jiang Weiguo was at a loss when he heard this: "Military division, according to what you said, it doesn't matter if I leave or not. If that's the case, why don't I leave? Military division, you know me well. I'm not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death!"
"I understand, I understand!" Xiao Yao nodded again and again, he looked at Jiang Weiguo, narrowed his eyes, "You stay here, in fact, not for our own family to see, but for the enemy to see!"
"Ah?" Jiang Weiguo was taken aback. He felt that Xiao Yao liked to talk around corners. "Enemies? Soviet Army?"
"The Soviet army is our enemy, but our enemy is not just the Soviet army!" Xiao Yao sneered, "If you stay here, they will believe that you have a way to hold on to Champion City. If you leave here, they will think that you have given up. Champion City, this point is very important, we just want to use this point to make a fuss, use those self-righteous idiots backhand, and turn waste into treasure!"
Jiang Weiguo looked at Xiao Yao, he saw Xiao Yao squinting his eyes and showing a sneer, he knew that this guy was planning to plot against a sinister person, because this guy would show this expression every time he came up with some "poisonous trick".
On the one hand, Jiang Weiguo felt reassured and confident, on the other hand, he also had a premonition, because the methods Xiao Yao came up with were always unscrupulous.
"Military division, you and I are the only ones here, tell us what you can do!" Jiang Weiguo reluctantly lit a cigarette.
Xiao Yao paused, and whispered his plan to Jiang Weiguo.
Jiang Weiguo's eyes widened when he heard this, and he didn't smoke a cigarette in his hand. He waited until the cigarette burned to his finger before he was awakened by the pain.
After shaking off the cigarette butt, Jiang Weiguo lowered his head and sighed: "Oh! You are always like this!"
"With so much ammunition and food lost, we can't survive!" Xiao Yao said calmly, "We can only do this.
In addition, I know what you think, yes, this is very unfair to them, but since they are soldiers, they must have this awareness.
Soldiers, it is only natural to die on the battlefield, that's all!"
Jiang Weiguo didn't speak, he didn't object to Xiao Yao, but acquiesced.
Xiao Yao patted Jiang Weiguo on the shoulder: "Let's go! Go to inspect the troops. Brothers need to see your confident expression, and the enemy also needs to see that you are always here. You have to show your face more often!"
On March 3, the 6th Army, the follow-up unit of the Soviet Army, arrived at the Battlefield of Champion City, which increased the Soviet Army by more than 30 troops. The number of the Nanjing Army defending the city was still the same, and the balance of war began to tilt sharply towards the Soviet Army.
Jiang Weiguo didn't do anything else in the next two days, even to inspect the troops, he didn't need to say anything bold, because he just had to show his face.
Jiang Weiguo secretly felt that he was like Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng when the Battle of Chanzhou broke out in the Song and Liao Dynasties. Due to the danger of the war, he didn't want to go to the front to supervise the battle. Seeing the arrival of the emperor in person, the soldiers of the Song Army cheered and their morale was greatly boosted (of course, the soldiers of the Song Army must not have seen the dumb expression on Song Zhenzong's face eating coptis), and finally defeated the Liao Army and signed the Treaty of Chanyuan. At this time, Jiang Weiguo was the same, dragged by Xiao Yao to inspect various positions (Jiang Weiguo's mentality is definitely different from Song Zhenzong's, but he really doesn't want to stay at the forefront), and the officers and soldiers of the 202nd Division who saw him all The morale was high, and many officers and soldiers even burst into tears. Even the officers and soldiers of the 20th Army were moved to tears.
"Kill the thieves! Kill the thieves! Kill the thieves!" Thunderous slogans resounded over the sky of Champion City.
Although the number of the Soviet army is more than five times that of the defenders, even though the Soviet artillery shells are as dense as raindrops, even though the whole city is almost razed to the ground, even though the defenders are blown to flesh and blood by the Soviet artillery shells every second Fog, being beaten into a bloody hornet's nest by Soviet bullets, but among the ruined walls, the defenders' morale and fighting spirit have not weakened in the slightest, still resisting tenaciously, and there are scenes of defenders fighting to the death everywhere: death Shooting at the Soviet army, bombarding the Soviet army as if they were dead, throwing grenades at the Soviet army as if they were dead, smashing Molotov cocktails at the Soviet tanks as if they were dead, pulling the fuse of the explosive package on their bodies and rushing towards the Soviets as if they were dead. He raised his bayonet and rushed towards the Soviet army... When the Soviet army rushed up, Wang Nanping, the acting head of the artillery regiment, led the artillerymen to blow up all the artillery, and then rushed towards the Soviet army with the shells in their arms; when they learned that the army was completely destroyed, Xing Liangchen, the deputy brigade commander of the 222nd Brigade, who had been seriously injured, yelled on the operating table. More than 202 senior officers including one of the regiment commanders of the 212nd Brigade, two of the three commanders of the 222nd Brigade, and Chen Wenqi, the deputy chief of staff of the 202nd Division, died in the country within 20 hours. Almost all the battalion-level officers were killed in battle, and the last moment of the battle was so fierce that it was indescribable.
"Because the shells of the Soviet army kept falling, even if the soldiers died, they would not be safe. They were blown to pieces and flew into the sky, and fell to the ground in pieces. Looking up, there are shocking human body fragments everywhere!" The 222nd Brigade Chief Peng Shiliang said.
"The tenacity of the Chinese has reached an unbelievable level. I really don't know how they do it. Their soldiers are like human machines without thoughts and don't know what death is. They have no endurance for death, pain, and fear. Said extremely amazing.
They don’t seem to think about retreating when they are fighting, they just want to kill a few more of our people before they are killed by us. Their wounded soldiers can endure the severe pain and hide among the dead without anesthesia , Just wait for our soldiers to fire the grenade when they approach!" said Colonel Mikhail Yefimovich Katukov, the division commander of the Soviet 20th Tank Division.
"It was very difficult to capture Chinese soldiers, and their wounded would just wait for us to yank grenades as we approached.
The battle has continued until now, and we have less than 50 Chinese military prisoners in our hands, which is an extremely low number, and these Chinese military prisoners were all captured in a coma or when they were unable to resist or move!" Lieutenant General Homenko, commander of the 30th Army of the Soviet Army, said.
After the 30th Army of the Soviet Army entered the war, the situation completely turned to the Soviet Army. After bloody battles day and night and day after day, the defenders were almost exhausted. The 202nd Division still had more than 3000 officers and soldiers alive, and the 20th Army was still alive. There are less than 1 officers and soldiers alive.
In fact, there were still quite a few defenders at this time. The reason for this situation was not that the fighting was not fierce, but that the Soviet artillery was less and less effective. The reason was simple: the Soviet army occupied more and more urban areas, and the Soviet army Army artillery groups are naturally less and less able to shell, and artillery is the number one factor causing military casualties.
Right now, the Soviet army has poured into Champion City, occupying more than four-fifths of the urban area. Golikov was overjoyed by this. He repeatedly asked about the situation of reinforcements from the Nanjing Army. Depart from the three cities in the northeast and arrive in about three hours according to the speed of the fleet.
Golikov did not take this seriously. Three hours was enough for the Soviet army to completely occupy Champion City. Even if the reinforcements from the division of the Nanjing Army rushed over, it would be an afterthought. He was more interested in Jiang Weiguo's whereabouts at this time.
"According to reliable information, Jiang Weiguo is still in the city, hiding in the control area of the few remaining Chinese troops!" The intelligence officer gave Golikov a report that made him unbelievably excited.
