    In early May, the sudden outbreak of the Soviet War entered its second month of raging war. The million-strong troops of the originally close "Germany-Soviet-Fengtian" tripartite group fell into an unprecedented life-and-death struggle. The fighting situation has reached a fever pitch.  .  Fierce battles, bloody battles, and defensive battles of unprecedented scale were going on day and night on the Soviet land that stretched for nine time zones; on the eastern front where the morning sun shone slightly, and on the western front where the sky was filled with stars and moons, people were as dense as swarms of locusts.  The Axis forces were gnawing at the Soviet Union crazily.

    On the eastern front, the Northeastern Army's three major army groups, the East, North and South, annihilated nine Soviet armies like a blizzard, and strangled the Soviet Union's "Eastern Europe-Far East" Siberian railway transportation artery into several twists.  It captured almost all of the Transoxingan Mountains, Lake Baikal region, and Eastern Siberia south of 55 North Latitude; while the West Route Army Group, after liberating the Tangnu Uryanghai area and sweeping across nearly a quarter of Kazakhstan,  They began to flock to the city of Novosibirsk, a fortress in the Siberian region of the Soviet Union.

    The person responsible for the defense of Novosibirsk is General Pavlov, commander of the Eastern Front of the Soviet Central Asian Military Region. The entire front has seven army groups and several independent divisions and brigades, with a total strength of more than 600,000.  General Pavlov himself was not a Red Army general who was good at fighting. He was a politician who had climbed up from the position of political commissar. During the "Great Purge" storm, he was promoted by Stalin to replace the Soviet generals who were purged.  Served in Novosibirsk.  In the past month, the unstoppable West Route Army Group of the Northeastern Army wiped out more than 100,000 troops of the Soviet Ninth and Seventeenth Army Groups in an instant, and also killed two Soviet lieutenant generals. This suddenly made Bav  General Love was frightened.  But forced by Stalin's just-given order to "hold Novosibirsk at all costs," he had no choice but to bite the bullet and command his troops to fight.

    Novosibirsk is a transit station city for railway transportation connecting East Siberia, West Siberia, Central Asia, and Eastern Europe. It is located at the "T-intersection" of the Siberian transportation artery of the Soviet Union. It is also the largest city in the Soviet Union in Siberia.  and the largest heavy industry base; in Russia, it is the third largest city after Moscow and Leningrad, with a population of more than 1 million and more than 2,000 large factories as well as numerous universities, museums, opera houses and other buildings; strategic  It is extremely important because the entire city is located on the river impact plain of the lower reaches of the Ob River.

    After some hasty research, General Pavlov believed that the huge troops under his command could not all huddle in the city of Novosibirsk, otherwise they would be completely blocked by the rolling Northeastern Army; at the same time, they could not be arranged in a  In the flat wasteland area, the Soviet troops with poor equipment, lack of ammunition and loss of most of their air superiority would be wiped out by the lightning-speed armored troops of the Northeastern Army.  Finally, General Pavlov ignored the objections of his army commanders and placed the 53rd, 56th, and 57th armies at the forefront of the army at the curved protrusion of the river 40 kilometers south of Novosibirsk.  The area around Kirovo and Morozovo relied on the dense rivers and swamps in the area to block the Northeastern Army; while the subsequent 45th, 46th, and 47th Army units were stationed in the suburbs outside the city.  Build a second line of defense.

    This can not only stop the Northeast Army, but also prevent the entire army from being completely defeated at once.  General Pavlov was very satisfied with his arrangement, but he inadvertently made the mistake of dispersing his forces, and there were almost no troops to guard or dig deep defensive trenches between the two armies, because General Pavlov originally  He is a person who is arrogant and careless.

    On May 9, the 5th Armored Army and the 10th Mechanized Army of the Northeastern Army's West Route Army Group advanced to the Borovoi area south of Kirovo and Morozovo. The 15th Armored Army commanded by Major General Xiong Hu and  The 10th Mechanized Army, commanded by Major General Fang Jingwei, immediately launched a fierce battle with the Soviet army.  Under the bombing of the Northeastern Army's bomber group, the shelling of the heavy artillery regiment, and the repeated attacks by the infantry and tank mixed forces, the Soviet army suffered heavy casualties, but it still relied on the favorable terrain to block the Northeastern Army's attack.

    On the evening of the 11th, after repeated discussions at a frontline military meeting held by Lieutenant General Long Yunfeng, Lieutenant General Huo Shouyi, Major General Xiong Hu, and Major General Fang Jingwei, they all felt that the command method of the Soviet Army General Pavlov was timid.  The Soviet army's tactics were rigid, mechanical, passive defensive, and lacked decisive attack and aggressive spirit. Therefore, the generals concluded that the Soviet army would not boldly attack the Northeastern Army's right wing or rear supply line.  The three motorized infantry divisions of the 30th Army of the Northeast Army, responsible for the flank cover of the Army Group, were immediately deployed. Under the command of Army Commander Major General Yu Zhaolin, the troops quietly detoured back to the Tula area south of the joint battle zone between the two sides.  The Ob River in this area is wide, about 15 kilometers. Taking advantage of the darkness, the Northeastern Army of the 30th Army used bamboo rafts to?We need to comprehensively expand; within a year, we will have 10,000 aircraft and 10,000 tanks, as well as combat warships with a total tonnage of more than 750,000 tons.  "

    "I'm sorry, Mr. President, please forgive me." Army Chief of Staff General Bradley was as dumbfounded as everyone else at the scene. He hesitated, "Are these numbers too huge?"

    "As long as workers are willing to work hard, these will not be problems." President Roosevelt, who had led the United States through the storm of the financial crisis, was obviously confident in the industrial productivity of the United States. He continued, "Second point, we must  We need to capture Greenland and Iceland as quickly as possible."

    The dignitaries suddenly looked at each other: "Mr. President, those two islands are now under German occupation. Once we carry out armed occupation operations on them, it will undoubtedly be a war with Germany or even the entire Axis group!"

    "What does it matter? Gentlemen." President Roosevelt said firmly, "Our military expansion and preparation are to deal with the invasion of Germany and the entire Axis Powers. What's more, the number of German submarines has exceeded 100 in the past few years.  Our merchant ships and warships were sunk time and time again. The Far East and Eastern Europe of the Soviet Union have all been occupied by the Axis forces. We cannot support them through the Pacific or Atlantic, so we can only pass through the Arctic Ocean. And these two islands  It happened to curb the maritime communication line from the east coast of the United States to the northern seaports of the Soviet Union, so that we now have to secretly provide arms and fuel to the Soviet Union like thieves and smugglers. The occupation of these two islands is related to the U.S-Soviet Arctic Ocean maritime  The establishment of communication lines is related to the life and death of the Soviet Union, and even more related to the life and death of the United States of America!"

    President Roosevelt's eyes were bright: "Gentlemen, we have already wasted enough time, so we cannot waste any more time. The comprehensive military expansion and the actions to seize Greenland and Iceland must be done quickly! Adolf Hitler always mocked the United States as a bully.  A playboy used in China, but now, we have to participate in this world war!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
