    Due to the participation of the US military, the snowy Soviet Union plunged into a confusing and uncertain future.  On the Western Front, the German Army Group Northern under the command of Marshal Manstein was forced to abandon its strategic plan to comprehensively encircle Moscow due to the strong military power of the US military. Instead, it consolidated its defense line in the Smolensk area and joined forces with Guderian.  General's Central Tank Army Group merged and continued to advance towards Moscow. Marshal Rommel's Southern Army Group focused on surrounding Moscow's southern retreat and tried its best to cut off the passage between the Moscow area and the Caucasus. For a time, the forces surrounding Moscow  On the long front, the allied forces of the Axis powers such as Germany, Italy and Finland were fighting inextricably with the American and Soviet troops; on the eastern front, the three army groups of the Northeastern Army and the Soviet Ural Front, a total of more than 4 million troops, fought with Orenburg as the center.  It became a huge whirlpool of life and death; and the connection point of the two battlefields - Guibyshevsky, the Fourth Army of the Northeast Army was firmly resisting the attack of the US Seventh Army.  This world war of unprecedented scale seems to have reached a stalemate.

    The longer time goes by, the more warring Axis and Allies have their own gains and losses.  Because as time went by, facing the fierce and well-prepared U.S. military offensive, the German, Italian, and Finnish coalition forces became more and more difficult. Hitler's statement of "ending the war in the Soviet Union before Christmas" has obviously come to nothing. The German army in Red Square  It has become impractical to hold military parades; and in the Battle of Orenburg, the six main Soviet armies trapped in the iron triangle of the Northeastern Army were already dying, and devastating attacks were being carried out every day.  The key to breaking this deadlock lies in the US Seventh Army and the Northeast Army's Fourth Army, which are locked in a confrontation.  Although Lieutenant General Patton's fire offensive broke through the Northeastern Army's frozen soil defense line one by one, and although the Northeastern Army had to contain the Soviet counterattack in the encirclement while also being unable to deal with the massive offensive of the US Army, the Northeastern Army was extremely tenacious.  The counterattack still prevented the U.S. Seventh Army from taking a step beyond the thunder pit for several days. The U.S. Army, which was in the limelight on the Western Front, hesitated here for a while. The casualties were unprecedentedly high. They almost sacrificed their lives in exchange for every inch of progress on the Northeast Army's defense line.  .  This made Lieutenant General Patton fall into a rare anxiety.  Before the war started, in a speech to encourage his subordinates, Lieutenant General Patton once said impassionedly: "I don't want to hear any reports that 'we are holding on to our positions.' We don't hold on to any damn positions. Let the Germans and Chinamen hold on!"  We have to attack non-stop! Attack! Attack again! The best defense is to attack!"

    However, it is very difficult to "defend by attacking" when encountering an army as tough as steel like China's Northeastern Army and such bad weather.  Lieutenant General Patton, who had always been keen on rapid armored forces and non-stop attacks, had to order his troops to temporarily engage in a protracted positional war and tug-of-war with the Northeastern Army in this place that was bound to be unforgettable for him.  After General Vasilevsky learned of this, he expressed great dissatisfaction. His attitude made Lieutenant General Patton even more annoyed and anxious.  In the telegram, he and General Vasilevsky repeatedly emphasized that the Seventh Army was not blocked by the Northeastern Army, but was "cleverly dealing with it and actively accumulating strength to prepare for the final attack."

    "Patton wants to start a decisive battle with us, but we don't because we have limited capital." Chu Qiming said confidently in the frontline headquarters of the Fourth Army, "We will block the US military in Kuibyshevsky like this, and then  Like a file, grinding away the sharp edges of the US military layer by layer!"

    When Chu Qiming said this, there was still a hint of worry floating between his eyebrows.  Because Patton also quickly saw through the Northeastern Army's intentions, he changed his tactics and ordered various US armored units to take turns attacking around the clock.  Under his command, the U.S. military continued to attack the positions of the Northeastern Army in units of divisions and regiments, and its offensive purpose changed from "defeating the Northeastern Army" to "exhausting the Northeastern Army."  After charging and fighting for five or six hours, they retreated to the rear to rest. Then, the next wave of U.S. troops who had finished their rest continued to attack with all their strength, and the cycle started again and again, day and night.  Although Chu Qiming's avalanche at the beginning almost buried the entire U.S. Second Armored Corps, Patton still had three or four times the number of troops and tanks on hand at this time than the Northeastern Army responsible for interception, because the Fourth Army not only had to  Block the US military, and at the same time block the northward escape route of the Soviet army behind them.  Patton's tactics were very effective. After several days and nights, the officers and soldiers of the 108th Division, 109th Division, 290th Division, and 48th Brigade who defended the defensive line were indeed exhausted.  Before the soldiers of the Northeast Army had time to take a nap after repelling a swooping attack by the US troops, a second group of US troops rushed forward one after another. The tired officers and soldiers, whose eyes were bloodshot, had to pick up their weapons and continue fighting.  Where the two armies faced each other, the sounds of killing and gunfire continued all day long.

    "It's not an option to continue like this." Chu Qiming knocked on the table and fell into deep thought. He called the frontline commander many times when the war was fierce.Add to the fight.  The U.S. machine guns and Thompson submachine guns began to fire. Amidst the hail of bullets, the slow-moving soldiers of the Northeast Army could not dodge at all. The officers and soldiers who were shot fell straight to the ground like stone monuments, letting out one after another "Plop! Plop!"  There was a heavy sound of falling to the ground, and some soldiers who were shot continued to move forward without being affected at all, because their cotton-padded clothes had been frozen to the point of bulletproof hardness.  The soldiers of the Northeastern Army continued to advance one after another in the light of the explosion. Viewed from the side, the soldiers of the Northeastern Army were like neat rows of zombies moving slowly towards the US military amid the flying bullets and fire.

    The Gurkha soldiers of the 45th Brigade have lived in the snowfields and icebergs since childhood. Their frozen fighting spirit quickly thawed and burst out. They roared fiercely in the Gurkha language that the US military could not understand. The cold Gurkhas shone.  The scimitar was swung vigorously amidst the howls of the U.S. troops. The splashing blood quickly froze into puddles of blood ice on the ground. The heads of the U.S. troops rolled around on the ground, and the U.S. troops were suddenly scared and ran away with their heads in their hands.  Amidst the killing sounds in Chinese that were particularly sharp and strange in the cold wind, more and more soldiers from the Northeast Army began to rush onto the road. U.S. military vehicles filled with fuel began to explode one after another. The corpses of the U.S. Army and the Northeast Army were scattered everywhere, and they were exploding.  The fire was flying all over the sky, the entire road was burning, and the American soldiers who were on fire let out shrill screams, but the Northeast Army soldiers did not care about this. They were covered with thick snow and ice, which was enough to  Resist the fire oil flying everywhere after the oil truck exploded.  Amidst the raging fire and billowing smoke, the bodies and fighting spirit of the Northeast Army soldiers began to melt and release little by little. "Kill" the Chinese shouts became louder and louder. The officers and soldiers who had recovered from their fatigue were in an almost crazy state.  During the desperate fighting, the wounds of the officers and soldiers quickly froze at low temperatures. The desolate road and the hills beside the road were filled with blood, and the corpses of American soldiers were in a mess.  In less than three hours, a U.S. regiment guarding the road and the heavy troops escorting the military vehicles, who were defeated by the Northeastern Army, fled back to Salama in panic.

    The officers and soldiers, covered in blood and snow, crowded around the fires left by the US military or the burning cars to keep warm. Sweat and melted ice and snow soaked the officers and soldiers' clothes inside and out.  All U.S. military vehicles carrying fuel were burned in the explosion of grenades, while the vehicles containing ammunition, food, and clothing were retained by the officers and soldiers. The hungry soldiers climbed onto the U.S. military vehicles one after another and bit into them without politeness.  Canned roast turkey and biscuits for the American soldiers.  "Collect ammunition! Quickly build fortifications on the road and the mountains! Prepare to block the US military! We must cut off this road!" Major General Chen shouted an order, "Send power to Jun Zuo, we have captured the road! Hurry!  !quick!"

    Fires and explosions shot into the sky, and in the Kuibyshevsky Gorge, the Northeastern Army's counterattack against the US military began.  (The weather is getting colder and colder, and coding is getting more and more difficult. Fortunately, the war is about to end.) (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
