At the same time, hundreds of kilometers away from Brest to the north, in Russia's Great Luki City, a larger-scale armored assault was also launched at the same time!The six armored divisions of the German 19th Panzer Army commanded by Admiral Guderian were like six Zeus lightnings, tearing the Soviet army's thin line of defense to pieces.In the afternoon of that day, a torrent of steel consisting of more than 2000 tanks rumbled into the urban area of ​​Greater Luki.

……

December 12 marked the beginning of an unprecedented disaster for the Soviet Union.The German army made major breakthroughs in almost all main directions of attack.To the northwest, the defense line of the Greater Luki area, defended by the newly formed Leningrad Front, no longer exists.Guderian's armored group marched unimpeded on the road from Veliky Luki to Smolensk.The 2th Armored Army commanded by Admiral Hopner in the West also broke through the defenses of the Western Front of the Soviet Union. The steel army composed of 16 tanks and assault artillery detoured from the south of the Brest Fortress, and then followed Napoleon's army back then. The route of attack went straight to Minsk, the capital of White.Above these two unstoppable steel dragons, there are German and Chinese planes flying all over the sky, throwing bombs and strafing wildly, including bombers from the Seventh Aviation Division of the Chinese Air Force-their mission is to bomb the Soviet capital Moscow!

The bombing was carried out at the suggestion of the big fat Air Force Marshal Goering. According to the fat man, more than 1000 bombers will be mobilized in this bombing, and the capital of the Soviet Union, Huawei, will be scorched and reduced to ruins with a thunderous force!The bombing will be directed by General Kesselring of the German Air Force. Nearly 1000 He-111 and Ju-88 bombers have been concentrated in the German air force base around Riga, the capital of Latvia.It also includes 240 He-111 bombers belonging to the two bomber regiments of the China Aviation Seventh Division.

At 12:2 am on December 5, Lieutenant General Sun Yang, the commander of the Seventh Aviation Division, received the order to attack. He personally drove a He-30 bomber to fly into the blue sky for the first time. Then all 111 bombers of the two bombing aviation regiments A bomber full of bombs and incendiary bombs was lifted into the air in less than 240 minutes. The fleet formed 30 clusters in the air, escorted by 15 German Fw-40 fighter jets that came later. A straight line, roaring to Moscow.

It is naturally impossible to keep it secret when swaggeringly bombing other people's capitals in broad daylight. The arrogant German/Chinese bomber fleet did not penetrate far into the Soviet territory before being intercepted by the first wave of Soviet fighter jets.

"Attention all units, attention all units! Soviet fighter jets are found ahead, Soviet fighter jets are found ahead!" A German alarm sounded in the cockpit of the He-111 bomber Sun Yang was driving.

"Attention Seventh Division, keep the formation, don't worry about those Soviet planes, keep moving forward!" Lieutenant General Sun Yang gave the plane to the co-pilot after giving the order, raised his binoculars, and watched the air battle ahead with great interest up.

The Soviet Air Force sent a dozen very good biplane fighters, which looked like Yi-15s in appearance, but their performance seemed to have improved.The hovering performance of this aircraft is excellent, better than the Chinese F-2 series aircraft, even the F-3 monoplane may not be able to easily take it down.But today it is the latest Fw-190 fighter jet of the Luftwaffe that is escorting the bomber fleet!The BMW-801 radial engine equipped with this aircraft has almost double the horsepower of the opponent!Moreover, the design of Fw-190 is also very good, and it also has very good hovering performance.Looking through the telescope, it is basically the German planes circling the Soviet planes. The 20mm machine guns and 7.92mm machine guns continuously spit flames on the tails of the Soviet fighter jets. In less than 10 minutes, more than a dozen brave Soviet planes They all fell down with black smoke!At the same time, a blossoming white parachute opened in midair.

Seeing a German fighter jet turn its head and prepare to straf the Soviet pilots who escaped by parachuting, Sun Yang sighed slightly, picked up the microphone, and ordered in German: "Don't worry about those parachutes, all fighter jets return to the designated positions. Our goal is Moscow!"

Chapter 0755 Great Siege ([-]) Burning City

On December 1937, 12, the noon sun shone on the red tower of the Kremlin, which could be seen from the window of the apartment rented by the Chinese Communist delegation to the Comintern.Comrade Wang Ming is now the master here, and he is the new general representative of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China to the Communist International.Now he is holding a cup of freshly brewed fragrant coffee, standing at the open window, looking out the window.What he saw was the scene of a Moscow morning in winter: a clear blue sky, a city covered with snow, men or young women in military uniforms hurriedly walking on the streets, crowded and dirty buses staggering past On the streets, old Soviet aunts line up at the door of shops selling black bread. Milk, meat, fruits, vegetables, etc. have long been insulated from ordinary people.Only cadres who have reached a certain level can enjoy special supplies, including Comrade Wang Ming... This is real communism!

The center of world revolution, the Kremlin, stood just across the river, huge, grand, and peaceful; its walls were dark red in the morning sun; the dome of the cathedral shone with gold.A scene of harmony and tranquility, as if in peacetime!It seems that the attacks of fascist Germany and the Chinese Expeditionary Force have really been contained!

Wang Ming breathed a sigh of relief. At present, there are three different views on this war within the CCP. Among them, the rightists headed by Zhang Xueliang advocate joining the war against the Soviet Union!Fortunately, there are not too many comrades who hold this view of obtaining land expansion power from the Soviet Union.The powerful faction headed by Zhou Enlai and Mao Zedong advocated neutrality and limited cooperation with the Kuomintang, striving to obtain new territory from the Far East, and at the same time making preparations to take over the heavy responsibility of the world revolution!Wang Ming himself is a clear-cut pro-Soviet faction... advocates helping the Soviet Union, opposing Chinese imperialism, and launching a revolutionary war to cooperate with the Soviet Union's anti-fascist war!It's just that although this correct view has won the support of most comrades, Zhou Enlai, Mao Zedong, Zhang Xueliang and others who hold guns firmly oppose it.They even used their power to send themselves to Moscow.But that's good too. After arriving in Moscow, my pro-Soviet stance became even clearer. If the anti-fascist war wins in the future, the position of the leader of the CCP will also be in my pocket!

"Citizens! Attention! Air raid siren!" Just as Comrade Wang Ming was looking forward to the bright future after the victory of the Chinese revolution, a calm and stern male voice suddenly came from the loudspeaker on the street!Then, the air raid sirens screamed over Moscow.

Air Raid Alert! ?This is Moscow!How dare someone fly a plane to Moscow to play wild?This is too absurd, too absurd!Wang Ming was not mentally prepared, nor did he pay attention to the location of the air defense shelter.When the air-raid siren came, he was shocked. A chill came from the bottom of his heart and quickly spread to his legs. As a result, the leader of the Communist Party of China couldn't even walk. He finally walked out of the building without knowing it. Where is the air defense shelter?He raised his head and looked around in a daze, only to find that the stone pillars by the sidewalk, the window, and the wall marked the location of the air defense shelter everywhere...

Just when Comrade Wang Ming followed the flustered flow of people into a dark and damp air-raid shelter, he was still thinking, this is not a real alarm, the fascist bandits will never blow up here, and the heroic Soviet Air Force will definitely kill them Repulse!

……

At this time, the 240 He-111 bombers commanded by the fascist bandit Sun Yang had broken into the city from the northwest of Moscow, and began to search for the intended target, ready to bomb!His 240 bombers and another 760 German He-111 and Ju-88 bombers each carried 2 tons of bombs, which contained powerful explosives and extremely terrible incendiary agents!According to Fat Goering's calculations, just one such "thousand-plane bombing" can turn the ruins of Huawei, the capital of the entire Bolshevik country, into an endless cemetery.All the rulers of the fascist Third Reich want is the total destruction of Moscow!However, the Chinese Air Force participating in this bombing received an order from Wuhan: to avoid attacking civilian targets as much as possible!

"Attention the Seventh Aviation Division, keep the formation, aim at Binkuka Airport, drop the bomb at an altitude of 1100 meters, pay attention to the wind direction and the interval between bombing."

Just when Master Sun Yang led his 240 planes around the sky of Moscow, looking for the "Binkuka Airport".Several I-16 fighter jets got out from nowhere, rushed to the top of the center of the Chinese bomber group, and opened fire on the He-111 driven by Sun Yang.The rotating turrets on the fuselages of dozens of Chinese planes also immediately fired back at those I-16s. Machine gun bullets dragged long strings of red flames back and forth in the sky.

Sun Yang felt his plane shake slightly, and he knew it was hit by a Soviet bullet.But he couldn't help it, because he was flying a bomber instead of a fighter like BF-109 or Fw-190.In this case, he could only maintain the course of the aircraft, and formed an airtight formation in the air of Moscow with the 240 He-111s of the entire aviation division.Each He-111 has four machine guns and three machine guns. As long as the formation is maintained, no matter which angle the opponent attacks from, there will be enough firepower to deal with it!And those free-moving Fw-190s will soon see the crisis here and rush over for reinforcements.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Clouds of black smoke bloomed again under the Chinese bomber fleet, this is the Soviet anti-aircraft guns showing their power!These 76.2mm or 85mm anti-aircraft guns obviously pose a great threat to the bomber fleet flying horizontally.Just a few minutes after being shelled, the Air Force Expeditionary Force from China finally paid their first casualty over Moscow!A He-111 bomber was unfortunately hit by the intensive Soviet anti-aircraft fire. The plane was split in two from the middle, and it fell quickly with thick black smoke!It finally landed near Arbat Street in the center of Moscow.Except for the second lieutenant Liu Shanben, the co-pilot, who escaped by parachute and was captured by the Soviet army, all the crew members on the plane died!

At this moment, with the help of the navigator, Sun Yang finally found his target - Binkuka Airport of the Soviet Air Force.He lightly pushed the lever, and the plane turned around, leading the huge bomber fleet to the intended target.

"30 seconds to prepare for bombing! Open the bomb bay..."

Following Lieutenant General Sun Yang's order, more than 200 He-111 bombers in the sky began to open the belly hatch, the plane began to bump, and the wind roared in the cabin.

In front of the aiming window of the He-111's unique fully transparent nose, the bomber stared at the angle meter with all his attention, and when the target just entered the angle meter, he pulled the bombing switch suddenly. Sixteen 16 kg high-explosive incendiary bombs doped with white phosphorus and TNT explosives suddenly broke away from the pylon.With a slight shake of the fuselage, he immediately relaxed.After dropping the bomb, the plane immediately closed the hatch, then rose rapidly, got rid of the threat of Soviet anti-aircraft artillery fire and fighter jets, turned the nose, and started the long return journey.

At this time, the Binkuka Airport of the Soviet Army was already a scene of a sea of ​​fire and purgatory. Countless dazzling flames rose up, and the runways, oil depots, ammunition depots, hangars, barracks, and antiaircraft artillery positions around the airport seemed to suddenly bloom. The fiery red flowers of death, the fireball and gunpowder smoke instantly enveloped the entire airport!In just a few 10 minutes, more than 230 aircraft dropped nearly 500 tons of high-explosive incendiary bombs on the largest military airport of the Soviet Army. The continuous explosions and fires completely razed the place to the ground.

At the same time, 760 German He-111 and Ju-88 bombers were also bombarding indiscriminately in downtown Moscow. A string of high-explosive bombs or incendiary bombs fell in every corner of the city, and balls of fireballs exploded. Pillars of smoke rose one after another.As the explosion ended, the fire began to spread.The ancient houses with brick and wood structure were engulfed by raging flames. Countless ignited people ran wildly screaming with the flames, the houses were torn apart, and the city was being engulfed in flames...

……

While the heroic Moscow citizens were busy fighting with the fire set down by the invaders, another group of fascist gangsters armed to the teeth were driving tanks, half-track armored vehicles, and trucks on the bumpy old Minsk road. It is the road that the French Emperor Napoleon led his army to take Moscow in 1812.And now advancing along this road is the Eighth Armored Division of the Chinese Expeditionary Force!

General Hu Lian sat on a half-track armored command vehicle, looking at the snow-covered road and the confused Belarusians on both sides of the road, thinking about all the things his Eighth Armored Division would encounter In complex situations, try to think of the most accurate way to deal with it in advance.The farthest goal of his division in this attack was Smolensk. It did not require the capture of the city. It only needed to join forces with the German 19th Panzer Army on the west bank of the Dnieper River to the west of the city to be considered a victory!However, this task is not easy to complete, because the entire armored division has to advance more than 700 kilometers!During the period, there will be resistance from the Soviet Red Army who does not know how many tens of thousands, there will be counterattacks from the Soviet tank troops, and the Soviets may even use the legendary T-28 tanks that can deal with the No. [-] and No. [-] tanks.At this moment, a motorcycle used by a signal soldier came quickly from the front, and it brought Hu Lian the news of the Soviet counterattack.

The half-track armored command vehicle stopped, several foldable tables were erected, a map and several telephones were placed on them.Just such a rudimentary former enemy command post appeared on the side of the road leading to Kobrin.

"Where are we now? Where are they? Who are they?" Hu Lian's question was very simple and direct.

"We are less than 10 kilometers away from Kobrin, and they are just outside Kobrin. It is a Soviet tank unit. They set up an ambush in the woods outside Kobrin, and ambushed some tanks. It seems that there are T-28 Tanks. They ambushed our vanguard, knocked out three Panzer IIs, and now the two armies are facing each other across a frozen river. Also, the commander of the 15th Tank Regiment reported that they seemed to be preparing for a counterattack.” Eighth Major General Qiu Weida, Chief of Staff of the Armored Division, used red and blue pencils to draw the battle lines of the two sides on the map.

"What? They want to fight back?" Hu Lian shook his head disapprovingly. "It seems that these old men think that they didn't die fast enough."

"Maybe they are afraid that they will capture Kobrin? This small town is the only way from Brest to Barnovich. If we occupy it, the Soviet army group assembled in Brest will be at a disadvantage." The point of isolation and helplessness." Qiu Weida analyzed.

"It doesn't matter that much, just repel them." Hu Lian shook his head, stopped thinking about the enemy's intentions, and began to arrange combat deployment.

The ambush of the 15th Tank Regiment was actually the old opponent of the 27th Armored Division, the 28th Tank Army of the 26th Special Army of the Soviet Army.After this army was defeated by the Eighth Armored Division in Vovomin, it was transferred to Minsk by Marshal Ubolevich for repairs. It got a batch of T-[-] tanks repaired by the rear tank factory, and added another batch The newly produced T-[-] was only sent to Berioza at the end of last month to serve as the reserve team for the western defense line.Unexpectedly, just after settling down, they encountered a large-scale German attack.So the tank army, under the command of the new commander, Major General Lukin, marched eastward to reinforce the Brest Fortress.Unexpectedly, they encountered a Chinese tank unit near Kobrin.But Major General Lu Jin didn't know that his opponent was four well-equipped Chinese and German armored divisions!

卢金少将把自己同中国坦克部队遭遇的消息报告给方面军司令部后，很快就得到了“反击”的命令。此时，第四坦克军的两个坦克旅拥有215辆T-26坦克和125辆T-28坦克。此外还有一个原本驻防科布林的步兵109师也划归第四坦克军指挥。

而他们的对手第八装甲师则拥有235辆二号坦克和126辆三号坦克、70多辆突击炮和自行火炮，此外该师还拥有一个齐装满员的装甲掷弹兵旅（第八装甲掷弹兵旅）和1个德国的摩托化炮兵团（德军的第76炮兵团）。

At 6:25 in the afternoon, the sky finally dimmed, and the Soviet counterattack also started at the same time.The 96 cannons of the two artillery regiments of the Soviet army roared first, and the 76.2mm, 122mm and 152mm shells roared and flew towards the river embankment occupied by the Chinese army, completely submerging the opponent in the smoke column and flames.The counterattack of Chinese and German artillery also started at the same time. The No. 1 self-propelled artillery of 2 battalion, the No. 150 self-propelled artillery of [-] battalions and the German [-]mm cannon of three battalions clearly had the upper hand in terms of firepower.

Seeing that something was wrong, Major General Lu Jin hurriedly called the Western Front Command, but Lu Jin did not finish talking with the Western Front Command.Just reporting to him that he had started an artillery battle with about 2 enemy divisions near Kobrin, Ubolevich excitedly ordered him to repel the invading enemy no matter what, and defend Kobrin. Breen, and the call hung up.From the anxious tone of the marshal, Lukin already sensed the severe situation facing the entire front. Perhaps only by repelling the enemy's vanguard in Kobrin can the situation be saved?The determined Major General Lu Jin had no choice but to grit his teeth and put the tank troops in his hands into the attack on the Chinese army positions.

At the same time, Hu Lian also gave the tank troops an order to attack.After the first battle of Wovomin, another tank battle between the Chinese and Soviet armies took place on the outskirts of Kobrin, a small city in Belarus.As always, the Chinese tanks formed a large tank formation with more than 400 tanks, and the powerful artillery formed a huge wedge, roaring forward.However, the formation of the Soviet army is dozens of small tank groups, and it has a wide front, which looks like it wants to encircle the Chinese tank group!In fact, this was due to the lack of radio equipment in the Soviet tanks, which made it difficult to communicate with each other.And on the battlefield where the flames of war are raging and the smoke is filled, it is difficult for Soviet tankers to coordinate operations by observing the small flags in the hands of tank commanders.Therefore, we can only adopt this method of spreading troops.

In order to make up for this weakness of his own side, Lukin concentrated all T-28 tanks on the front, hoping to use their solid armor and powerful firepower to withstand the impact of Chinese tanks.At the same time, the T26 tank group is placed on the two wings, hoping to use their speed advantage to detour to the flank of the Chinese tank group to launch an attack.

于是这场坦克战中首先交火的就是中国人的三号坦克和苏军的T-28坦克。中国军队的三号坦克上所装备的火炮是48倍径的75mm加农炮，这种火炮的威力足以在1000米的距离击穿T-28正面30mm的装甲，而T-28的26倍径的76.2mm大炮在同样的距离上却根本无法威胁到三号坦克厚达60mm成斜角布置的优质装甲钢板。因此首先开火的是中国人的三号坦克。行动缓慢，体型巨大的T-28坦克在这个战场上简直是中国坦克炮炮手们最容易瞄准的靶子，T-28坦克被接二连三地击穿击毁，体型巨大的装甲巨兽变成了一堆堆废铁。在苏军两翼的T-26完成迂回动作之前，他们的100多辆T-28已经损失殆尽了。战场上到处都是被击毁并熊熊燃烧着的苏联坦克残骸。

And then the T-26 tank group that charged the two wings of the Chinese tank group did not get any cheap.Due to the high cross-country performance of the Christie suspension system and the strong horsepower of the diesel engines provided by MAN, these 22-ton and 32-ton "big tanks" do not appear clumsy on the battlefield, and their driving speed is no faster than that of 10.5-ton tanks. The T-26 is slow.When these brave little tanks rushed to the flanks of the Chinese tank group, the Chinese No. 75 tanks and No. 88 assault guns had already completed their turn, and the 4mm and [-]mm projectiles hit them like raindrops. Another huge defeat at the Battle of Kobrin!The city of Kobrin was also captured by the Chinese army a few hours later.

Chapter 0756 of the encirclement (eight) the trap of breaking out

On December 12, the fire in Moscow was finally extinguished, and this heroic city survived tenaciously under the bombs and incendiary bombs of the fascists!In other words, the white phosphorus incendiary bomb is not as effective as expected, and the 3 tons of bombs dropped by 1000 planes are not enough to destroy a magnificent city like Moscow!

Georgi Konstantinovich Zhukov had just walked out of the bomb shelter, and before he had time to see the great capital of the motherland being horribly bombed by the enemy, he was notified to go to Miya Meet the great leader Stalin at Nitsky str. 37.This is the second time in two days that he has been invited to meet with the country's supreme leader.

In Stalin's office, he also met Molotov, Voroshilov and Berzin.Everyone looked sad. Seeing Zhukov, Stalin pointed to Berzin with a gloomy face. "Comrade Berzin, tell Konstantinovich the latest situation."

Berzin spread out a map on the desk covered with a green blanket. As soon as he saw the two blue arrows inserted into the Soviet front line on the map, Zhukov's expression darkened suddenly, and he blurted out: "Have the Germans already started? Two armored groups are inserting towards our rear... Their target is..." Zhukov thought for a while and said, "It must be Smolensk! The Germans are going to encircle the Second Baltic Front Army And the Western Front!"

"The General Staff also thinks so." Berzin glanced at Zhukov, and continued in a gloomy tone: "General Shaposhnikov reported that the German army launched an attack in the early morning of December 12. They spent about 2 tanks (overestimated the opponent) took the lead, broke through a section of the defense line south of Brest, and then quickly advanced along the Brest-Minsk road, at Kobrin on the afternoon of December 3000. There was a battle with the 12th Tank Corps, the 2th Infantry Division, we were defeated, we lost almost 109 tanks and more than 300 people. Kobrin was also lost last night... news this morning, their leader The troops have arrived near the city of Belyozha and are fighting with our 1nd Infantry Corps. Our intelligence personnel found that they have 22 tanks, and the line is so long that it can't be seen.

...General Kulik of the Leningrad Front reported that his line of defense was also broken by about 5000 tanks (which also exaggerated the strength of the German army) in the early hours of yesterday. , captured Nevel last night, and is now advancing on Smolensk!And we don't have the power to stop them now..."

Stalin had been pacing back and forth in the office while Berzin was telling the story of the war, when he suddenly stopped.He took a puff of smoke, leaned slightly to look at Zhukov, "Konstantinovich, you guessed the whole situation just by looking at the map, which shows that you are very talented in military affairs, and you are a rare military strategist." .Then now, please come and advise me, the Supreme Commander, what should we do?"

what to do?Zhukov frowned and thought hard for a while before he said in a deep voice: "Abandon Leningrad immediately, let the Leningrad Front Army move to Moscow, and at the same time abandon Western Ukraine, and let the Ukrainian Front Army withdraw to Kiev."

"What?" Stalin raised the extinguished pipe as if to hit Zhukov on the head with it, but finally held back.He said angrily: "Konstantinovich! I want you to advise on the rescue of the Second Baltic Front and the Western Front, but you want me to give up the birthplace of our Soviet motherland! What kind of intention is this?"

"Comrade Stalin..." Zhukov looked at the great leader with a serious face, "I also know that the Second Baltic Front and the Western Front must be saved, but what will be used to save them? How many reserves are still in the hands of the headquarters?"

Stalin looked at Voroshilov, and Voroshilov said: "We still have a reserve front army with [-] troops, but... these troops are newly formed and lack training and equipment."
