    In the early morning, the white color of fish belly gradually appeared in the east, and the sky became bright.  On the Northeast Army's front line, which stretched for more than ten kilometers across the city, the officers' orders and the sonorous and heavy footsteps sounded one after another.  The Northeast Army soldiers lurking in the cold trenches were resting, loading bullets, inspecting weapons, or struggling to put on heavy "Chu Qiming body armor."  The harsh "Huo Huo Huo" sound of grinding stones was heard. The experienced veterans of the Northeast Army sharpened the issued shovels with ease, because in close combat, shovels are also effective and reliable killing weapons.

    In the rear headquarters of the Northeastern Army¡¯s West Route Army Group, the top generals of the Northeastern Army were discussing the differences between them.  Major General Xiong, commander of the 15th Armored Corps of the Fifth Armored Group, suggested that since the Soviet army has changed its desperate tactics, our troops should immediately stop street fighting and make every effort to clear out the Soviet remnants to consolidate the occupied area; at the same time, integrate the siege forces  In addition, a highly mobile armored tactical group was organized to monitor and besiege the city's defenders; while the main troops rested, recuperated, and prepared to face the Soviet reinforcements.  The reason why Major General Xiong put forward this opinion is: since most of the heavy weapons of the Soviet army in the city have been destroyed, their mobility is poor, and they have lost air superiority, all the use of armored forces to contain them is very effective, and the enemy cannot break through.  The Northeastern Army intensified strategic bombing and air strikes, blocked external supplies to the defenders in the city, and carried out siege and strangulation warfare.

    After hearing this, General Su, the commander-in-chief of the Army Group, pondered for a while and rejected the suggestion.  Admiral Su said: "Everyone, three-quarters of Novosibirsk has fallen into our hands. What Ubolevich hopes most is that the war will drag on sluggishly, while we must fight tit-for-tat quickly.  Quick decision. Time is very precious to us, because every day, the Soviet Union's strength is slowly recovering, and they will slowly have new tanks, artillery, and new aircraft that compete with our air force for air supremacy. Currently  , we still have a huge advantage, so we must take advantage of the advantage to win a quick victory. To besiege the enemy, in a sense, serves the purpose of the enemy's delaying tactics, and as time goes by, the rainy season  It is coming, and the enemy's reinforcements, heavy weapons, and air power will be strengthened, which is very detrimental to us. The capture of Novosibirsk is related to our final victory in this battle. Moreover," Admiral Su said solemnly  He glanced at the young generals under his command and said slowly and earnestly, "The Young Marshal has urged us to capture this city as soon as possible. You must know that the way a battle is fought not only depends on its military significance, but also its military significance.  It has a lot to do with its political significance. After all, there is a lot of opposition in our country to our continued war against the Soviet Union after regaining the lost territory. The slower our progress and the greater the casualties, the greater the pressure on the Border Defense Department and the Marshal will be.  A huge increase.¡±

    At 6 o'clock in the morning, the tomb-like silence of the city of Novosibirsk was instantly torn apart by the roaring roar of the overwhelming bombardment like a hurricane. Before the war began, the Northeastern Army launched four integrated heavy artillery regiments, including 16 heavy artillery pieces.  Battalion and 8 long-range rocket launcher battalions, plus the infantry artillery units affiliated to each field unit, the Northeast Army's artillery density has reached an unprecedented density, with more than 150 artillery, rocket launchers, railway guns, and mortars arrayed within a one-kilometer frontal range.  Cannons, mortars, and more than forty extremely lethal 208mm giant siege howitzers.  Following the order of Lieutenant General Wu Keren, who had full command of the artillery force of the West Route Army Group, tens of thousands of artillery fired in the south of the city, deafening, and countless rapid rays of light cut through the haze and night in the dawn sky, piercing the sky majesticly.  The sky.  Thousands of artillery shells and rocket shells rained down on the northern part of Novosibirsk like a red downpour.  The soldiers of the Northeastern Army who were hiding in the trenches and waiting for the charge felt that the whole city was shaking like an active volcano erupting. Large chunks of soil were blown away and fell. Heat waves billowed above their heads and thick smoke filled the air.  .

    "Brothers! Check the ammunition! Prepare to fight!" the officers hunched over and shouted in the trench.  Amidst the crisp sound of the gun bolt being pulled, in the bunker behind, tanks and armored vehicles began to roar and spit out streams of thick smoke.

    Amid the soaring smoke and sharp roars, waves of Northeastern Army bombers simultaneously appeared over the city through the clouds and fog. Wherever the silver war eagle went, countless huge mushroom clouds sprung up in the city under the wings.  They bloomed so densely all over the place, blasting the city until it was almost like the surface of the moon was devastated.  Huge shockwaves of air were impacting across the city. The air filled with the smell of sulfur was scorching hot. The trembling ground was almost scorched. Dust was flying and thick smoke was billowing. The entire city was darkened by gunpowder smoke.

    Several "Flying Leopard" strategic bombers came majestically from the sky, their huge bodies like floating aerial fortresses.Army personnel, workers, and young and middle-aged citizens organized themselves into the 37th Guards Division.

    Covering the flanks of the 50th Brigade and the 115th Heavy Armored Division attacking the hydropower station and thermal power station in the city was the 299th Mechanized Infantry Division. The officers and soldiers relied on the tank troops to bravely assault to the banks of the Ob River, and the Soviet army's only  The ferry dock in the north of the city is across the river.  On the river, two Soviet armed motorboats were shelling the city occupied by the Northeastern Army.  The officers and soldiers of the 299th Division immediately used 120mm heavy mortars and "Maxin" heavy machine guns to violently bombard and strafe the Soviet gunboats. The water columns on the river rose into the sky, and the bullets swept the water surface and set off thousands of waves like a torrential rain.  The Soviet gunboats immediately fired back, blowing up a Northeastern Army heavy machine gun group into a pulp.  Major General Yin Xiaotian, the one-eyed commander of the 299th Division, immediately rushed to the river with four "Siberian Tiger" main battle tanks and started a bombardment with the Soviet gunboats. A single armor-piercing shell from the "Siberian Tiger" 88mm smoothbore main gun quickly destroyed the two  Soviet gunboats blasted into the water one after another.  In the explosion, the oil depot stored by the Soviet army at the dock was blown up again, and the burning oil rushed into the river like fire dragons.

    After seizing Marquesa Square in the west of the city, Commander Yin mobilized 300 elite soldiers from various units of the 299th Division to form an assault team. After lifting the manhole cover of the sewer, the assault team quietly followed the sewer network to the north of the square.  Novosibirsk West Station.  In the dark and damp sewers, the Northeastern Army commandos unexpectedly encountered another small Soviet army unit that used the same tactics to try to destroy the Northeastern Army's command system.  The pipe was immediately filled with bullets and sparks. Flash bombs and flares were flying around like meteors. The sound of submachine gun fire echoed back and forth in the pipe. The soldiers of the two armies who met on the narrow road immediately took up their weapons and waved their bayonets to fight.  The commandos of the 299th Division, which had an advantage in small arms, quickly eliminated the Soviet assault troops, but the gunfire had already alerted the Soviet troops at the West Railway Station. When the commandos reached the bottom of the West Railway Station in the west of the city, they were stationed there.  Soldiers from the Soviet 373rd Division threw a large number of explosive packets and gasoline into the sewer, which collapsed the sewer and buried alive all the Northeastern Army and remaining Soviet troops inside.  In anger, Commander Yin immediately called the Air Force to use four "Giant Hammer" super bombs to blow up the entire West Station to the ground. More than 1,000 soldiers of the Soviet 373rd Division were blown into ashes and powder.

    Because the city of Novosibirsk was built across the Ob River, the hundreds of sewer pipes that discharged sewage from the east and west districts to the river waters were also active like rats with a large number of Soviet troops. The thick sewers not only concealed  In order to defeat the Soviet army, it also protected the Soviet army and reduced the artillery fire and bombing of the Northeast Army. The attacking Northeast Army had to send a large number of commandos into these smelly sewers to drive away and eliminate the Soviet soldiers hiding inside.

    When the mechanized infantry troops entered the city and started street fighting with the Soviet army, the 5th Armored Corps and the 15th Armored Corps of the Northeastern Army circled around from the countryside to the north of Novosibirsk, biting away at the edges of the city bit by bit.  .  At this time, the entire city had "one trench for every five steps and a bunker for every ten steps" and became a three-dimensional waterway chain of bunkers on the ground and underground. The West Railway Station in the west of the city and the October Revolution Square, Lenin Square, East Railway Station in the east of the city, etc.  The junctures of both armies were mired in a quagmire of intertwined street fighting and hand-to-hand combat.  The Soviet army suffered heavy losses due to the lack of heavy weapons and aerial firepower. The fierce attacks of the Northeast Army caused the Soviet army to run out of ammunition and food, and suffered heavy casualties. Some Soviet troops were forced to retreat in pieces, while more unkempt soldiers  Soviet soldiers or Soviet civilians surrendered to the Northeastern Army in droves.  Although several important targets were captured, the overall progress of the Northeastern Army was still very unsatisfactory, and large urban areas were still in the hands of the Soviet army.

    "Commander-in-Chief, the Soviet resistance is very tenacious." After nightfall, Lieutenant General Huo in the frontline headquarters said pertinently, "Their tactics have become flexible, active and effective, and they are also full of the spirit of death together.  Although we won a full day of victory, a quarter of the city was still in the hands of the Soviets. During the day, our losses were considerable. Moreover, most of the night belonged to the all-pervasive Soviet snipers."

    "War naturally has to pay a price, whether it is the winning side or the losing side." Admiral Su said categorically, "At this moment, it is the time when we and the Soviets are competing for perseverance and endurance. Only by gritting our teeth and persevering will we win."  It belongs to us. In addition, the Marshal has taken into account the Soviet sniper tactics. The Ghost Troops and Dark Arrow Troops have arrived in Novosibirsk. They will join our sniper infantry division to compete with the Soviet sniper troops in the dark."
