The city on the lower Volga River, Engels.
Although the weather is still cold and windy, snowflakes are flying, and the temperature is still dripping water and turning into ice, there are already a few tenacious plants in the vast white ice and snow that have begun to sprout green, adding a little bit of spring to the cold chill. Spring has arrived in North Asia.
The senior generals such as General Yu, General Su, and General Wang who gathered around the Engels River all had happy faces. They were looking at the surroundings carefully with their telescopes, and they burst into hearty laughter from time to time. Another huge victory made them happy. They were very satisfied. Engels is located at the intersection of the only three major industrial bases and agricultural granaries in the Soviet Union at this time - the Volga region (west of the river), the Don River region, and the Caucasus region. Looking across the river is the important town of Saratov, and from Engels After starting and going 400 kilometers down the river, you will reach the famous Stalingrad. Even Moscow is only 700 kilometers away from Engels at this time. Although the course of the war was slightly disturbed by the participation of the US military, it was still developing in a direction favorable to the Axis Powers. The demise of the Soviet Union is just around the corner, which undoubtedly excites all the generals and officers and soldiers of the Axis Powers including the Northeastern Army, the German Army, the Italian Army, and the Finnish Army participating in the war. The leaders of the three major Axis Powers in Berlin, Rome, and Shenyang are even more overjoyed. .
After the Battle of the Urals, more than one million Soviet troops were once again annihilated by the Northeastern Army, and countless heavy equipment was lost. The Soviet Union's more than 400,000 square kilometers of vital industrial and agricultural areas between the Ural Mountains and the Volga River were also destroyed. All fell into the hands of the Northeast Army. To put it bluntly, the Soviet Union had exhausted all its accumulated strength on the Eastern Front and was completely in ruins.
On February 10, some troops of the German Armored Group Center broke into Moscow from the southwest and started street fighting.
An ecstatic Hitler called Zhang Xueliang on the 11th. He hoped that "the Northeastern Army will continue its efforts, cross the Volga River area in one go, and pursue the victory into the Don River area in the soft underbelly of the Soviet Union, and join forces with the German and Italian Allied Forces to capture Moscow." Zhang Xueliang politely rejected this promising suggestion. He replied by telegram: "Although the Northeast Army is now at its peak, it is also facing tremendous difficulties, numerous and numerous. The Ural defense line that defeated the Soviet army has been exhausted. With the last strength, the Northeast Army's current offensive is at the end of its strength and it is really impossible to launch a cross-river battle."
Hitler said: "You can consider letting your Fourth Army or the Fifth Armored Army, which has the most courageous combat effectiveness, launch a tentative attack on the Eastern European plains or the Caucasus, so as to contain part of the US and Soviet forces that are fighting the German army."
Zhang Xueliang replied: "The lives of Northeastern Army soldiers are as precious as the lives of German soldiers. The lives of frontline soldiers cannot be wasted in order to obtain a quick victory or a purposeless war." In his message, he once again reminded Hitler not to let his immediate If you are intoxicated with the fantasy of "quick victory and quick victory", you must stay calm and be prepared for a protracted battle. Hitler expressed his understanding and support for this in his reply. Zhang Xueliang then ordered the four major army groups participating in the war to stop pursuing the Soviet army and attacking the Volga River, build a comprehensive defense line, and start rest and recuperation.
On February 18, more than four million Northeastern officers and soldiers who participated in the Soviet War spent the Spring Festival of 1943 in the trenches on the vast territory of the Soviet Union. Although they did not go home to celebrate the New Year as they wished, the officers and soldiers of the Northeast were still very happy, and the Spring Festival in the battlefield was also lively. To this end, Zhang Xueliang sternly ordered the military logistics department of the Northeastern Army and the relevant departments of the Northeastern government to deliver 50 million kilograms of grain, 6 million kilograms of vegetables and fruits, 2 million kilograms of cooked meat and fresh fish, and several dozen to the frontline Northeastern Army troops before the Spring Festival. Tens of thousands of chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep and other livestock were brought to reward all the soldiers of the Northeast Army who fought bloody battles on the front line. In addition, there were piles of hundreds of thousands of tons of bedding, beer, cigarettes, chewing gum, coffee, tea and other condolence items. , these huge figures do not include the spontaneous donations of labor supplies by non-governmental organizations in Northeast China and China. Under the protection of the Air Force's night fighter fleet and the vigilance of the security forces, the Volga River, the desert plains of Central Asia, the foothills of the Ural Mountains, the thousands of miles of snowfields in Siberia, and Vladivostok, Hailanpao, Sakhalin, and Kamchatka in the Far East PeninsulaMore than four million Northeastern officers and soldiers celebrated the New Year happily in cold camps and muddy trenches. The jubilant soldiers sat around a bonfire with barbecues, setting off firecrackers and fireworks, and carrying cooking utensils. The New Year's Eve dinner and hot broth were served to everyone, and they were happily devoured. Artists from the Chinese art troupe, song and dance troupe, and acrobatic troupe also performed songs and dances enthusiastically and generously in the fragrant and joyful military camp, winning bursts of cheers and whistles from the officers and soldiers.
From April 1, 1942 to this time, the Northeast Army¡¯s achievements in the more than ten months since it participated in the Soviet War are undoubtedlyThe "Toga" aircraft carrier retreated, and the less injured "China South" and "Huabei" pursued it. The Northeast Army carrier-based aircraft pilots who assisted in the operation continued to throw down flares that illuminated the night brightly, and directed towards them. The USS Hua Nan and Hua Bei, which were catching up, launched "Eagle Strike" bombs and "Fish Xiang" torpedoes at the USS. The U.S. fleet used searchlights to lock on the U.S. ship. At 5:50, the lone "Washington" was blown up by a head-on shot from the "South China" and the bridge was shattered. Immediately afterwards, more armor-piercing bombs and high-explosive bombs fell on The devastated body of the "Washington" was blown to pieces, and the entire warship was shattered. Fifteen minutes later, the high-speed "North China" and "South China" caught up with the "Washington", and more than a dozen searchlight beams immediately covered it tightly. After seeing the "Washington", the two ships' shells and torpedoes quickly completely sunk the "Washington", which was still fighting in vain.
Although the battleship "Missouri" escaped by chance, in its panic and panic, the warship ran into a reef in the waters near Attu Island. Amidst the loud noise like thunder, this 30,000-ton sea monster just stranded on the beach, unable to move. In order to prevent the warship from being towed back by the Northeastern Army and becoming a trophy, Admiral Halsey reluctantly ordered the "Missouri" to dismantle the turret and then self-destruct. In fact, the Northeastern Fleet had already returned happily at this time. It was not until a seaplane discovered the burning "Missouri" that they learned of this unexpected result. The "Northeast Military Daily" on May 1 published a striking headline - "Chinese Battleships vs. American Battleships: Two to Zero!" ¡±, and the whole country suddenly rejoiced. The successive victories have made every Chinese feel that the final victory is not far away. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
