When the high wall of artillery fire finally swept across the front line of the Ramiere Heights and extended back, the observation post on the high ground finally found these surging Soviet tanks and infantry. Into pieces!Colonel Deng Yaozai, the commander of the garrison, already knew that the forward position was about to be lost, but in order to give the troops on the reserve position time to set up an anti-tank blocking position, he still gritted his teeth and ordered one of his battalions to enter the forward position immediately.At the same time, messengers were sent to request reinforcements, and calls for artillery support also reached the artillery headquarters.

The already haggard and exhausted Chinese soldiers rushed out of the shelter and quickly entered the forward position, but the Soviet Red Army was also in sight!There was no time to set up the machine gun and fire. The first time was to fight grenades. The long-handled grenades of the Chinese National Defense Army and the wooden-handled grenades of the Soviet Army were flying in the air.The sound of explosions inside and outside the trenches rang out!The infantry on both sides were blown to pieces.But this kind of grenade has little threat to the Soviet T-26 tank with steel armor.The tracks of the tanks quickly drove past the trenches of the Chinese army, followed by countless Soviet bayonets pouring in!Melee combat immediately started above the cover.At this time, the artillery unit of the expeditionary force also fired desperately, trying to block the input of the follow-up Soviet troops with firepower.However, under the suppression of the more powerful Soviet artillery fire, the disturbed Chinese artillery can provide very limited support!Thousands of Soviet troops in the trenches have overwhelmed the Chinese soldiers. The equipment of the infantry of the Wehrmacht is not prepared for hand-to-hand combat, and in front of the Soviet Red Army, which is the world's number one in hand-to-hand combat, they will probably be defeated even if they have enough bayonets. Come on.A red signal flare rose into the air, it was the Soviet Red Army reporting victory to the rear, and the forward position of the Chinese army has now been captured by the Soviet army!

With red eyes, Colonel Deng Yaozai ordered the artillery company of the regiment to concentrate on bombarding the line of defense that had just been lost, and asked the artillery group to fire at the same time... Although there are still many Chinese soldiers there who are making the final resistance!After giving this order, he once again sent a 36 urgent telegram for help to the headquarters of the [-]th Division.Then he picked up an automatic rifle and led his regiment staff to the reserve position on the Ramiere Heights...

The reserve position built on the high ground has three trenches and several anti-tank artillery positions. The reserve position and the shelter where the regiment headquarters is located are connected by a long traffic trench, but many places of this traffic trench have been bombarded by Soviet artillery!Deng Yaozai and the others didn't care about so many people, they just crawled over with hands and feet, and after running stumblingly for about ten minutes, the group finally reached the last barrier of the Ramiere Heights.At this time, the preparatory position has been set up, and at a glance, there are soldiers of the National Defense Forces who are waiting for the formation, and all of them have iron complexions and red eyes. It seems that the "jade broken" in the front position just now has inspired their fighting spirit!However, the anti-tank weapons on the position are still insufficient. There are only a few 37mm anti-tank guns and some 12.7mm anti-tank guns.

It also looks like the Wehrmacht infantry has insufficient anti-tank capabilities!Deng Yaozai felt that with such anti-tank firepower, it would not be easy to stop the torrent of steel from the Soviet army!at this time.

boom!boom!boom!

The explosion of landslides and ground cracks shook the earth again, and the extremely powerful artillery group of the Soviet Army is now showing off its power again. The target is the last line of defense on the Ramiere Heights where the 108 battalions of the 2th Regiment of the Wehrmacht are defending!This round of shelling did not last too long, only four to five minutes.However, the effect is very good. In Deng Yaozai's sight, some trenches have collapsed, and more than half of the obstacles in the front of the trenches have been cleared away. The rest is not enough to stop the tide of Soviet tanks and infantry. Fortunately, that Four 5mm anti-tank guns and three 4mm mountain guns are still intact.But when he stood on the steps of the trench and cast his gaze forward, he suddenly felt a tremor in his heart.Because in the open area opposite the position, hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles swarmed like ants, and there were thousands of Soviet soldiers farther away.From a distance, it looks like a white tide is coming. How long can the remaining 37 people of the 3th Regiment last?

Deng Yaozai was not sure at all.

Cruel battles were staged soon. Anti-tank guns, mountain guns, cluster grenades, explosive kits...all the anti-tank weapons that could be used were put into the blocking battle against the Soviet tank group by the soldiers of the National Defense Forces.Although the T-26's thin armor cannot withstand the blow of the 37mm anti-tank gun, although the Chinese officers and soldiers on the front line did not hesitate to sacrifice and fight to the death, the defenders still could not stop the fierce offensive of the Soviet army + fire + tanks... Pull The Mier Heights was finally broken by the Soviet army in the early morning of November 11th!All members of the 15th Infantry Regiment of the Wehrmacht are broken!

But the battle continues...

Chapter 0748 Chinese Expeditionary Force ([-]) Counterattack

The road to Valmiera was full of traffic.Brigades of carriages, trucks, and half-track armored transport vehicles carried all the weapons and supplies that could be shipped to the distant place where the sound of gunfire was dense.Groups of infantry walked forward with their heads bowed.There is one direction for the infantry, artillery and baggage to advance here.It is Valmiera, which is related to the victory or defeat of this war, and it is also the place where the Chinese Expeditionary Force is fighting bloody battles.

General Rundstede, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army Group, finally regained his composure from the initial panic.After carefully analyzing the current situation on the battlefield, the German army veteran quickly confirmed that the main direction of the Soviet assault was Valmiera, 120 kilometers north of Riga. The Allied Forces of Nations, within two days at the most, hundreds of thousands of Red Army can hit the city of Riga!Once Riga is occupied by the Soviet army, the German Sixth Army on the southern front and the German Seventh Army on the eastern front will immediately fall into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides.After figuring out the goal of the Soviet army, General Rundstedt couldn't help being secretly surprised. It turned out that the Soviets had such a big appetite that they actually planned to defeat or even annihilate the main force of the Northern Army Group in one fell swoop!Knowing the opponent's intentions, how could Rundstedt dare to neglect, the reinforcements from Lithuania and East Prussia were immediately sent to Valmiera to reinforce the Chinese army there as soon as they got off the train!

The road to Valmiera was originally a very low-level road. After Germany took over Latvia, several emergency roads were built to facilitate the entry and exit of the army.In the current rainy and snowy weather, these roads are already muddy, and the speed of reinforcements has been seriously slowed down!Moreover, it will take time for large troops to move up and form a fighting state.Before that, whether they can resist the menacing red empire in Valmiera depends on those yellow-skinned Chinese soldiers!

Wei Lihuang, the commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and Du Yuming, the chief of staff, naturally also received the urgent telegram forwarded by Rundstedt, in addition to asking about the situation on the front line.It is to inform them that the northern army group has mobilized a large number of reinforcements and will soon rush to the battlefield. Before that, the Chinese expeditionary force must stick to the end!Wei Lihuang could not care about Rundstedt's order, but then Luo Yaoguo also sent a stern order, severely criticizing the expeditionary force's mistake of losing the important Ramières position in the first day of battle , Wei Lihuang, Du Yuming, and Huang Wei each recorded a major demerit, and at the same time strictly ordered the expeditionary force not to take a step back!Even if you hit the last person, you must firmly defend Valmiera!After receiving Luo Yaoguo's order, Wei Lihuang and Du Yuming immediately felt the seriousness of the matter.And as senior officers, they now also know the importance of guarding Valmières.However, the Ramier Heights have been lost, and now the Soviet army can condescend to launch an attack on Valmier. If you want to hold this gateway to Riga, you must take back this key highland!

Du Yuming's face was already a little unshaven, and he seemed to be ten years old and haggard all of a sudden.He has been standing in front of the radio station that communicates directly with Wei Lihuang and Zheng Dongguo, commander of the [-]th Army, anxiously waiting for every bit of news ahead.Then according to the changing situation, adjust the firepower in your hands, and send more reserve teams in your hands in time.

The tactics of the Soviets' infantry, tanks and guns put great pressure on the expeditionary force. The attack on November 11 immediately occupied the commanding heights on the left wing of the entire defense line, the Ramiere Heights!Then the Soviet army took advantage of the victory to advance again, and the battle continued from the afternoon until late at night, and the Red Army's offensive did not appear to stop.The artillery fire became more and more intense.During the day, tanks and infantry take turns to attack, and at night, it is pure infantry fighting sea tactics.Waves of attacks came towards Valmières from two directions, as if they wanted to pile up corpses and drown this strategic place!

The front line was originally composed of two Chinese infantry corps and one Russian infantry corps, and later received the garrison forces of two Russian divisions.After two days of bloody battles, the 108th Infantry Regiment was wiped out, more than half of the 36th Division was lost, and the other two divisions of the 18th Army also suffered more than 3% casualties. The situation of the 17th Army was a little better. The right flank they were holding was not the main direction of the Soviet army's assault, so they did not encounter a joint attack by infantry and tanks. After two days of fierce fighting, the loss was about 35%, and they could still persist.Two of the five Russian divisions (one whole army plus two divisions) serving as the reserve team have been sent for reinforcements, and the six infantry regiments of the 55th and [-]th divisions of the Russian Army infantry have been sent to reinforce them, but they were repeatedly fired by the Soviet artillery. Partition coverage, almost half of the people lost on the road ahead!The rest also suffered heavy losses in the fierce fighting.Wei Lihuang still seemed calm on the phone. The commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force was probably pushed by Luo Yaoguo's harsh telegram, and he was probably ready to die on the front line.But Du Yuming knew that now was not the time to "repay the king with one death".Luo Yaoguo's telegram made it very clear that the first battle of Valmiers was directly related to the progress of the anti-Soviet war, and also directly related to the future of the country and the nation!Who is the hero of the ages and who is the sinner of the ages depends on the hard work of the frontline kings!

Du Yuming didn't think too much about what Luo Yaoguo's words meant, nor did he think about whether the anti-Soviet war was just... His greatest strength is his obedience!In history, follow Chiang Kai-shek's words to fight a civil war against the Communist Party and the people, but now listen to Luo Yaoguo's words to fight a world war against the Communist Party and the people!Since Luo Yaoguo wants the expeditionary force to defend Valmières at all costs, then he will defend it well!

He pondered in front of the map for half the night, finally gritted his teeth and dialed the phone number of Wei Lihuang, who personally supervised the battle at the 18th Army Headquarters: "Mr. Our rear has no barriers, and their artillery fire can block the road to the front line with unscrupulous bombardment! The Ministry of Staff recommends...to gather strength as much as possible, mobilize the 117th and 118th tank regiments, and launch a counterattack on the left flank in the early morning of tomorrow, trying to regain the high ground... "

The battle was still going on around Valmières.Flames from flares and shell explosions have already illuminated the entire battlefield.There seems to be no time for the Soviet Red Army to stop attacking.They seem to have endless troops, and people who can't die.One infantry division after another was filled into this furnace, and one after another was maimed!And the new infantry division immediately replaced it!Under the command of Tukhachevsky.The First Baltic Front also exerted its greatest combat effectiveness.The high-level Soviets also seem to know that now is the moment to decide the fate of the Soviet Union. After millions of shells hit, 10,000+ infantry and thousands of tanks repeatedly attacked, the Chinese reactionaries and White Russian traitors who stood firm in Valmiers Should have reached the brink of collapse!As long as there is one more blow, perhaps victory will once again come to the Soviet motherland!

The small village where the headquarters of the 18th Army where Wei Lihuang is stationed is almost the front line now. Three winding trenches lie outside the village, and the command post of the 18th Army is located inside the village. In the basement.When Du Yuming talked with him on the phone, it was the time when a young infantry division of the Soviets launched a frontal night attack with the cooperation of their powerful artillery group.Waves of Soviet infantry formed a dense wave of people, rushing towards the dense fire net of the Chinese army!Go on and on, regard death as home!

But fortunately, their tanks did not show up. Zhukov's joint attack of infantry and tanks finally met its nemesis before dark today, and that was several anti-aircraft artillery battalions belonging to the Luftwaffe!These battalions are equipped with the famous 88mm anti-aircraft guns. Hans' 88 guns are still the same as in history, they are the nemesis of tanks!Zhukov and Baghramyan's tank army lost 226 T-26s in one attack, and Tukhachevsky was so distressed that he shed tears.Hurry up and send the tank army and Zhukov back to Leningrad to rest.Although Tukhachevsky was reluctant to use tanks, the heavy artillery of the Soviet army was still as sharp as ever. The shells of the heavy artillery kept falling and exploded around the bunker where Wei Lihuang was located, shaking the people in the bunker from time to time.Huang Wei stood up again with difficulty leaning on the wall, and looked at the Chief Wei anxiously.

Wei Lihuang put down the phone in his hand and sighed softly: "Guang Ting is right. If we don't take back the Ramiere Heights, even if we can hold on, we will wipe out the troops. But the Soviets attacked so hard. Tight. Where do we have spare power to fight back? Wu Wo (Huang Wei), do you have spare power in the 18th Army, and how many soldiers do you have on hand now?"

Huang Wei just shook his head: "Brothers 5 are born here to support the artillery advantage of the Soviets! Our 18th Army has been disabled in this battle. I'm sorry to resign...The 18th Army was brought out by his old man!"

Glancing at Huang Wei, who was heartbroken, Wei Lihuang smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "It's rare that you still remember Chen Cixiu's kindness in nurturing you. But today is different from the past, Luo Fushuai's strict orders have come down Now, we must hold here and buy time for the Germans to mobilize troops to counterattack the Soviet Union." He suddenly cheered up and said to Huang Wei: "It is already the early morning of the 16th, and the Soviets have been attacking for two consecutive days. It is estimated that there may be adjustments. Stop it! Many of their troops have suffered heavy losses in front of our defense. If they don't take a break, they may not be able to fight. Understand me, you go to mobilize the tank regiment, organize the 118th regiment and the 117th regiment, and collect as many as possible Infantry. When the Soviet attack stops for a while, we will counterattack to the Ramiere Heights!"

……

"The plan of attack must be changed, it must be changed! If you continue to fight like this, the Red Army will bleed dry! Our Soviet fatherland will also perish! Comrade Tukhachevsky! Can't you attack from another place? From Aluksny or Rezekne, or even Daugavpils, the progress in those places is better than that in Valmier!” Russian with an unclear Georgian accent came through the phone However, due to the distance and the backward communication technology of the Soviet Union, the voice of the owner of the Kremlin was almost drowned out by the noise on the phone.

Tukhachevsky just had no choice but to explain there.The battle has been fought for 2 days!Now it will take several days to adjust the attack plan, when the reinforcements from the Germans will arrive, and the weather will almost clear up.Is the Soviet Red Army still fighting?It was also blown up by seven or eight thousand German planes!At that time, it's time to put your tail between your legs and go back to defend Stalin's line of defense.That is really waiting for death, there is no hope at all.It's just that a few more people have died now, and the casualties of those Chinese may not be so small. Besides, I have enough troops at hand. As long as I work harder, I will definitely be able to smash them, I will definitely be able to!

He suppressed his temper and explained it to Stalin, promising that the Latvian campaign would end as scheduled. Stalin was not stubborn, but he just asked him to pay attention to the losses of the troops, especially the tank troops, and absolutely no longer use tank groups to attack the enemy. Positioned, and then hung up the phone.

Tukhachevsky breathed a sigh of relief, and called his chief of staff: "How is the progress?"

"The plan to capture Valmières in three days seems impossible... The troops suffered heavy casualties. Division after division were filled into the furnace, and the enemy still resisted stubbornly. Their position was very flexible and a trench was laid Another one was dug up. If tanks are not used, another week of fighting with infantry artillery alone will not yield results. Since Comrade Stalin gave the order, shall we adjust the attack line a little? Change the direction of the breakthrough to Alu How about Kesner? There are a few White Russian and Italian troops guarding..." The chief of staff, General Yakir, didn't look good. The battle is now off to a bad start, and the Chinese defense is unusually tenacious. As time goes by, German reinforcements will arrive soon, and the bad weather will always pass.

After listening to General Yakir's analysis, Tukhachevsky's eyebrows became more and more tight, obviously he was also caught in a dilemma.At this time, the sound of guns and artillery on the Valmiera battlefield gradually became thinner.It wasn't that Stalin was commanding the troops by leaps and bounds, but that after two days and three nights of bloody battles, the Soviet offensive finally became unsustainable.The artillery emptied the ammunition reserves, and the supply ammunition vehicles also failed to arrive on time because of the muddy roads.The starting position was full of collapsed Red Army infantry. They were crowded in the cold and damp trenches. The organization was chaotic. Everyone was exhausted and fell asleep under the sound of artillery.Troops need to be adjusted, ammunition needs to be replenished, and a new round of attack will take time to launch again.

The Soviet army, which temporarily stopped attacking, retreated to the Ramiere Heights. At this moment, the battlefield finally calmed down.Even the artillery fire was much sparser than the previous two days.Only the heavy snow like goose feathers was still falling down, and the visibility on the battlefield dropped again.Even the high-rising flares can barely reflect a small area of ​​the battlefield.The more than 135 remnants of the three infantry regiments of the 5000th Infantry Division of the Soviet Red Army who had just retreated from the front line are now crowded in the trenches dug by the Chinese army, falling asleep with their rifles in their arms.The task of this division has been completed, and they can leave this hell on earth early tomorrow morning, and return to Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, to rest for a few weeks, and maybe they will never come back again!So they were very relaxed and slept soundly that night. No one thought that those Chinese reactionaries who had survived in the sea of ​​fire for two days would have the idea of ​​fighting back!

At this time, behind the position of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, it was another scene.In an open space, the infantry of about two regiments has been lined up, and about 300 No. 35 light tanks are parked behind them. Next to each tank are tank crews wearing black berets.Huang Wei, dressed in a neat uniform, was reviewing the troops accompanied by Fang Tian, ​​Chief of Staff of the Army.The heads of the three infantry regiments, the two tank regiments, and Colonel Luo Zekai, the deputy commander of the [-]th Division who was in charge of this operation, all spontaneously approached the commander Huang Weihuang.

Huang Wei glanced at them with a deep expression, and said slowly in a hoarse voice: "You already know your mission... The Soviet offensive has temporarily stopped. We will use this opportunity to launch a counterattack! Our Chinese When was the Wehrmacht afraid of the Soviet Red Army? They have made it impossible for their brother troops to fight in the Far East, and the airborne troops have also won a big victory in Siberia. We have to teach these Bolsheviks a lesson in Europe! I won’t talk about other nonsense , this time the style of play is tanks charge, infantry follow up, there will be no artillery preparations. Well, take advantage of this heavy snowstorm, you just attack! Good luck to everyone!" After finishing speaking, Huang Wei stood at attention , It was a solemn military salute to the five regiment commanders and all the officers and soldiers who participated in this counterattack.

The tanks of the two regiments formed a triangular attack formation, rumbling and roaring towards the Ramiere Heights, while the infantry of the three regiments spread out and marched together around the tanks.But before the troops approached the high ground, flares rose into the sky one by one without paying.The roar of the tanks finally alarmed the Soviet defenders.The infantry firepower on the Ramiere Heights immediately began to fire, and then the Soviet artillery group began to speak, and bursts of shells roared!But the artillerymen of the Chinese Expeditionary Army are not to be outdone and start roaring now!A round of shells flew towards the Soviet positions and their rear depths.

The engines of the tanks also began to roar with maximum power. The 300 tanks led thousands of infantry, led the Soviet artillery to charge, and rushed into the Soviet position above the Ramiere Heights in a blink of an eye.The 20mm machine gun of the No. 26 tank, the Min 37 automatic rifle of the Chinese infantry, the Chinese official rifle, the MG135 general-purpose machine gun, as well as grenades and mortars project ammunition at the maximum speed at the same time.The [-]th Division of the Soviet Army caught the Chinese army, which was counterattacking swiftly, by surprise!Ramiere Heights once again became the focus of the entire battlefield.

Chapter 0749 big siege (a) big appetite

The counterattack on the Ramiere Heights has been in a heated state from the very beginning.Both sides are constantly moving forward and dispatching troops, and neither of them is willing to take half a step back. It seems that they are ready to fight to the death here!Du Yuming also sent out the last two White Russian divisions in his hands, and moved forward under the artillery fire of the Soviet army.At the same time, he also drew an infantry division from the No.17 Army, and also launched a frontal counterattack to distract the attention of the Soviet commander.At this time, the Chinese army had the upper hand on the Layer Heights. The impact of the 300 tanks was indeed extraordinary. After a period of desperate resistance, the exhausted Soviet infantry finally began to collapse.Tukhachevsky, who reacted, was not to be outdone, and immediately blocked the battlefield with superior firepower, and at the same time threw the fresh troops in his hands into the high ground one by one.Also disregarding the cannons of the Chinese army also blocked the way forward for the Soviet army!The artillery shells fell in a staggered manner, smoke, dust and flames enveloped the entire battlefield, and the passages for the reinforcements from both sides were even more explosive and roaring.Almost half of the people were cut down by the flying shrapnel before reaching the high ground!

The Ramiere Heights trembled amid fierce battles, and constant reinforcements came up to the Soviet Red Army to fight the Chinese army with bayonets, grenades and anti-tank guns, trying to re-establish a front.They were driven away by Chinese tanks and infantry.Colonel Luo Zekai was guarding in a half-collapsed trench, with only a few companies of reserve troops in his hands.To be sent at any time to a front where the Red Army has already appeared to be shaken.Half of the 300 No. [-] tanks of the two tank regiments have now been lost, and most of the rest have become fixed firepower points, supporting a precarious line of defense.Between the tanks, Chinese or Russian infantry set up rifles, machine guns or mortars, and beat all the firepower over the swarming Red Army. Bullets from both sides flew back and forth in the air, forming a The river was on fire, and the smoke pillars of shell explosions rose and fell around the entire battle line one after another.The young lives of both sides are constantly being turned into ashes in this battlefield furnace.

The Ramiere Heights was finally conquered by the tenacious attack of the Chinese Expeditionary Force before dawn.This night counterattack greatly exceeded the expectations of the Soviet commanders.Under such tremendous pressure, they can still launch a counterattack!Marshal Tukhachevsky was furious at the loss of the highland, and suggested on the spot that the political commissar Kirov should arrest the commander of the 135th Division of the Red Army responsible for defending the highland.In this night battle, both sides are estimated to have more than thousands of casualties.The Chinese army lost nearly 200 light tanks, most of which were destroyed by brave Red Army soldiers with cluster grenades.However, the remaining 100 or so No. 15 tanks have driven into the trenches just captured, and they have become fixed firepower points. The 20mm thick turret armor cannot be penetrated by ordinary grenade fragments. A [-]mm machine gun, such a firepower point is indeed not so easy to deal with.

As soon as the Chinese army's new line of defense was laid out, a larger-scale counterattack by the Soviet Red Army began.The Soviets, especially Marshal Tukhachevsky, have been cornered by the tenacious fighting of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.If you continue to entangle with the Chinese repeatedly.Then it is impossible for them to open the door to Riga before the main reinforcements of the German army come up!Their desperate campaign, especially their plan to defeat the German Army Group North, will become a dream!The First Baltic Front of the Soviet Union mobilized all the forces it could mobilize, and since November 11, it has launched repeated attacks without stopping, regardless of casualties.The God of the Red Army is now very jealous. He has only one thought in his mind now, which is to destroy the Chinese who are sticking to Valmiers before the Germans arrive, leaving no one behind!Time is ticking by every minute. On November 16, 1937, which was the 11th anniversary of the October Revolution in Soviet Russia, the swastika flag symbolizing the fascist German army was finally raised over the Ramiere Heights—the first batch of German reinforcements finally arrived!The Soviet Army's "Battle in the Baltic Sea" may really stop in this small Latvian town of Valmier!

……

Luo Yaoguo gently put down the telegram in his hand, and unconsciously knocked on the table with his fingers.His expression now is very playful.There was a little excitement and a little regret, but more of it was the kind of indifference that people in high positions have for a long time.The Battle of Valmiers has become a stalemate. With the arrival of the first German infantry division, the Soviets are destined to have no way to form a breakthrough there. As for their battles in Alux, Rezekne, Taug The breakthroughs made in Vpils and other places were not fatal to the German North Army Group, but the entire front was forced back by the Soviet army for more than ten or twenty kilometers.It looks like the last effort of the Soviet Empire is doomed to fail!The state of this country has entered the countdown...

The office door opened with a bang, and Luo Yaoguo looked up, and saw An Sihua standing at the door with a smile on his face. He was still wearing a neat military uniform and looked like a rigid Prussian soldier.He returned to Wuhan from Beijing two days ago to serve as the Deputy Chief of Staff of the National Defense Forces. The newly appointed General An Da nodded at Natalie who opened the door for him, walked into the office and sat down, and then sent another document Put it on the desk.

"This is..." Luo Yaoguo frowned slightly, raised his hand and opened the file to look at it. It was a draft of a battle plan, and it was also a battle plan for annihilating the main force of the Soviet army in Estonia. !This General An's hand really stretched out a bit too long!It seems that subconsciously, he still regards himself as a half-German, right?

"Fuwen, I've been planning this plan since the beginning of the Latvia campaign." An Sihua spread out a map of Estonia on the desk in front of Luo Yaoguo. "You see, this is Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, and it is also the main throat from Estonia to Leningrad. At the same time, Tallinn is also a port city, located on the coast of the Baltic Sea, across the sea from Helsinki, the capital of Finland. Now The command of the Baltic Sea is completely in the hands of the German Navy and the Chinese Expeditionary Fleet. Stalin's Baltic Fleet dare not leave the Kronstadt naval port at all... If a few elite German infantry divisions can land in Tallinn now, it will be difficult for us and With the cooperation of the German six Zhenyuan-class battleships, they will definitely be able to cut off the connection between the Soviet First Baltic Front Army and Leningrad, and may even encircle the main Soviet army in Estonia... At that time, their only retreat is to the east Thin ice on Lake Chud!"

Luo Yaoguo laughed and closed the file. "Then more than 100 million Soviet troops will be finished! Do they still have troops to guard Leningrad?"

An Sihua also smiled slightly: "No, it is impossible. Nearly 170 million Soviet troops were trapped in Eastern Siberia and the Far East, more than 60 were in Central Asia, and there were more than 100 million on both sides of the Buwag River. People are used to resist the counterattack of the German Army Group South and the Polish Army. At least 250 million people are besieging the German Army Group North in Latvia, and 70 people are holding down the German Army Group Center in Lithuania... so at least 550 million people The army has been pinned down on various battlefields, plus the garrison on the vast territory of the Soviet Union, the garrison guarding Moscow, the navy, the air force, the logistics transportation force, and the huge internal defense force used for domestic suppression. There are 700 million to 800 million troops who have been unable to move. Although the Soviet Union has a large population, their heavy industry strength is limited and they cannot supply more troops! Supplementary text, as long as the Tallinn landing plan is successful, Leningrad will probably be able to avoid war And down."

"Yes, that would save Leningrad from too much damage, and it would be more beneficial to maintain Anastasia's rule." Luo Yaoguo was extremely excited. After thinking for a while, he said to An Sihua: "Go Please come over to Chen Si, Minister of the Navy. I want the Chinese expeditionary fleet and the expeditionary force to propose this plan to the Germans. The Germans seem to have never fought a landing battle. Let the Chinese navy successfully land in Taiwan to convince them. "

……

East Prussia, Wolf's Lair.

Although the Battle of Valmières is still going on, the outstanding performance of the Chinese Expeditionary Force has made every German in the Wolf's Den look at their Eastern allies with admiration, and at the same time relieved their hearts a little bit down.These guys in Hitler's Eastern Front Command may seem to outsiders to be the most war-fighting group in the world, but the fact is that most of them have not been exposed to real war for 20 years!

And the millions of German youths who make up this actually the most powerful army are basically recruits, and their combat experience is far inferior to their opponents, the Soviet Red Army!When the Latvian campaign just started, the atmosphere in the wolf den was very low for a few days. The news from the front was mixed, most of which were not good. Either the army was repulsed by the Soviet army, or the front-line generals complained about the lack of training of the troops. , the German soldiers who had not experienced the baptism of war panicked in front of the sea of ​​fire and people of the Soviets...

Those high-level German soldiers who have experienced World War I know that this fear of war and death is a hurdle that every recruit must go through. Even if they have received the most rigorous training in the world before, it cannot help them overcome their fear. After going to the battlefield, they will also be unable to perform their due training level due to fear.For an army composed of millions of recruits, the most dangerous thing is to be beaten by experienced opponents in the first battle. The shadow of defeat in the first battle will hang over this army for a long time.On the contrary, if they succeed in the first battle, the confidence of invincibility will be established deep in their hearts, which is a key step for them to become an invincible army.

Therefore, the fighting of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Valmières really helped their German allies at the most critical moment, and it really allowed the Chinese soldiers to win the respect and trust of this group of racists.

"Hi! Hitler!" A blond SS soldier raised his hand to Sheng Shicai and Long Tenghui who were striding forward.Then a second lieutenant of the party team came out from the door. After carefully checking the credentials presented by the two Chinese generals, he raised his hands respectfully and saluted them: "Hi! Hitler, the Führer is in the big conference room Waiting for the two generals, please follow me." After that, he opened the heavy door, stretched out his right hand and made a false gesture, and the two Chinese generals did not hesitate , Entered this door in the marking ceremony of the German SS officers and soldiers.

A few minutes later, Sheng Shicai and Long Tenghui finally arrived at the core of the wolf den after passing through the checkpoints.In an aisle that wasn't too narrow, it was already full of people, and Sheng Shicai took a closer look.
