The battle progressed so quickly that even the commander Chen Changjie was surprised. For a while, he even wondered if this was a plan for the Russians to lure the enemy into depth. But when his command car officially stepped onto the Russians' positions and saw the tragic scene after the continuous strikes, he suddenly realized in his heart that the Russians did not have the time and space to play conspiracy, but in fact, it was destined before the war began!

The war model brought by the Zhu family army has undergone earth-shaking changes compared with the tactics that have been popular in countries around the world over the past decades.

Due to climate impact, the special teams in the plan infiltrated reconnaissance, beheaded enemy chiefs, destroyed key traffic, communication points, exploded material supplies, spread rumors and created chaos, set key targets for subsequent attacks, and even provided tactical positioning guidance, etc., were directly abandoned before they were launched. Secondly, the battle was initially fought for air supremacy, and large-scale bombing was carried out, especially precise bombing to destroy important enemy military targets, mainly threatening forces, and provide air battlefield interruption to deprive the enemy of air support capabilities and maintain all-weather suppression, which was also cancelled.

These two things alone are because of the huge changes in the use of personnel and equipment, and the details involved are ever-changing, which is enough for an excellent commander to study for half his life. Therefore, in the entire command center, a separate command seat and relevant personnel will be set up to complete remote control supervision of the specific combat process.

During the short training period, Chen Changjie learned the relevant entries briefly and the specific implementation details. He was powerless and could only rely on the experts who had been immersed in it for seven or eight years to complete it. From the side, he also truly understood how high-end the core strength of the Zhu family army is!

The third step of formal combat is the attack of the ground troops. As the pioneer of the road, the armored troops must suppress the precise strike of the artillery to destroy the enemy's key defense targets. Under unprecedented fierce bombing, they will be fast and fierce, and suddenly drive straight in, and they will completely have no power to fight back.

But this step is also far behind the so-called "blitz war" that the Germans talk about today's European battlefield is far behind.

The cannon bombardment on the European battlefield is essentially a destructive force based on quantity and carpet-like coverage. The cost-effectiveness ratio alone is a very bad number, not to mention the difference in the killing power of the shells. What about this? After careful investigation in advance, the probability shooting and precise strike modes of the control are accurately calculated and controlled in the battle. Various shells are responsible for their own responsibilities and cooperate with each other to exert the maximum killing effect.

The cannon's armor-piercing bullets broke through obstacles, grenades killed and destroyed the ground, and the rocket cloud explosion bombs killed and destroyed the solid fortress built by the Russians after three axes. Tank troops opened fire while they were marching, and relying on the close-range direct shooting of high-speed artillery to destroy the remaining solid hidden fortresses. The self-propelled artillery and assault guns almost hit the forehead are the places known as permanent fortifications, which are still destroyed and vulnerable!

Cannons! Cannons! Or cannons! From beginning to end, they are all cannons of various calibers, functions and power! Even when exposed infantry follow the marching, their vehicle-mounted mortars, recoilless cannons, and small-caliber machine cannons are the main forces of attack. The largest and cheap firearms rarely fire. They do not even need precise aiming for soldiers. Even if they encounter active enemies, just pull the trigger and pour out the copper-clad steel shell and steel core warhead like a rainstorm...

Chen Changjie never thought that the war could be fought like this! And the new army after the overturned transformation, the power it exerted after the war was so powerful that it was so terrible!

He roughly estimated that among the troops he commanded, the total number of explosive weapons that could be called "cannons" was actually equivalent to one-20th of the total number of infantrymen!

What does this mean? That is to say, a mechanic and infantry division with nearly 20,000 people had at least one thousand cannons! And this number was all the Jinsui army that year. I'm afraid it would not be able to reach it! Not to mention, there are 152 howitzers and rocket launchers and other big killing weapons.

Just such a large scale of military power, after half an hour of fierce attack, when Chen Changjie's command car entered the front-line battlefield, he found that the originally dense primeval forest had been rubbed into a garbage dump! Countless trees, thicker or even thicker, were piled up on the ground.

The thick layer of ice and snow caused by the blizzards in recent days was actually exploded, evaporated, and threw away by tens of thousands of shells, and a layer was severely hung up. Many places exposed black and year-round humus land, which was not so eye-catching in the same dark snow, but overall it would feel very terrifying!

The forest that lasted several kilometers was not as bright as imagined. The logs thick as a few people were cut off in the waist. The branches of the thighs were broken and chopped. Before the juice of the pale fresh wood was frozen, the fresh fragrance released with the crushed leaves was filled with the rolling smoke and dust, and it was indescribable to smell.

Large craters of shells are scattered in a battlefield of more than ten square kilometers. Each one has a diameter of more than five or six meters, with varying depths. There are often a large number of broken limbs or broken arms, or broken artificial building fragments that hit the unmanned open space. There are very few that hit the shooting accuracy of the precise shooting shells!

The most dazzling one is hundreds of craters with a diameter of one or two hundred meters!

These craters were just a little shallow and fell into the ground, but the breadth was more than ten times larger. At the core, the permafrost was burnt and coking slabs appeared in a grey color of volcanic rocks. There were countless trees radially lodging on the edges. The slightly thinner trees broke in the waist and crawled across the waist. The surface was instantly burned and carbonized by high temperatures, and still emitting thick smoke.

These are all traces of the cloud explosion bombing after the bombardment at low altitude! The high temperature and high pressure shock waves produced instantly are extremely lethal. There are many living forces within the range that are burned to ashes on the spot, and more are shattered by the shock waves, or are thrown away by the airflow and hit and killed.

A large number of soldiers hiding in the trenches were suffocated to death by hypoxia, some were ripe by high temperature steam, some were burnt with skin, but the inside was safe and sound. The unbearable pain made them scream in a series of shrill screams, and finally the Chinese soldiers who could not see them were merciless and used bullets to relieve them.

In the end, the soldiers who survived by luck. Mu dazed to watch the Chinese tanks rumbled past their eyes, their faces were dull, their eyes were dull, their clothes were torn, and the biting cold wind blew on their bodies, quickly taking away the heat waves. He was also unaware of it, and he still did not come back to his senses until Chen Changjie and the others arrived.

However, at this time, the followers also had a full grasp of the battlefield, constantly searching out the relatively complete Russian soldiers, and rushed to temporary tents built on site with shell craters as the center - you wouldn't be able to watch them freeze to death, right?

Soldiers who were slightly injured would also be given appropriate treatment and sent to injured tents transformed by shell craters. As for those who were seriously injured or dying, there was nothing to say. Just let the new recruits go up, whether they were shooting or stabbing them with bayonets, in short, these people could not survive. It would be better to let the new guy see blood and gain some experience.

Chen Changjie could already foresee that under this war model, the requirements for the fighting will of soldiers will be greatly reduced, and the huge disparity in the proportion of casualties between the two sides is absolutely amazing. The chances of infantry participating in trench warfare over the years are getting fewer and fewer, and we are expected to grow slowly in battle. The remaining veterans who are rushing gold in the sand - creating elite troops - will not be reproduced.

Seeing the captives slowly staggering into the tent built temporarily for them, no one resisted or shouted slogans bravely. He was very surprised when he had seen Chen Changjie, who had been brave and unyielding in the civil war.

In this regard, Chief of Staff Lu Ruiying had another view: "The military commanders look down on them too high! In fact, the so-called spiritual beliefs of the Russians are essentially different from those of our neighbors' firm Bolsheviks after being tempered and slashed with gold in the sand. Our compatriots and comrades now have firm beliefs to change the living environment of the entire nation and the country, and they are willing to sacrifice for this. What about these in front of us? They are just like armed ideas, but they only have ordinary people fighting for the country."

It seemed that he thought he had said the guys from the 18th Army were too good. Chief of Staff Lu paused and explained from another perspective: "In addition, you should be able to see that the series of strikes we launched were far beyond the scope of the enemy's cognition. They were confused by various artillery shells and lightning attacks! If we were to suddenly face the killing of the terrible artillery shells, especially the cloud explosion bombs, it would be difficult to maintain peace of mind, right?"

Chen Changjie nodded deeply in agreement. This is the truth. If it were the Shanxi Sui Army or the Central Army a few years ago, and other princely armed forces, not to mention facing the cloud bomb, just the fierce bombardment of ordinary 152mm howitzers, the morale of the army would collapse under the continuous bombardment of hundreds of cannons. In addition, the impact of the tank group, there was no resistance?!

That is, after the army was reorganized, the entire army had earth-shaking changes from thought to spiritual outlook. In addition, as the attacking side, it was impossible to show that it was very different.

Thinking of this, Chen Changjie couldn't help but secretly glad that he had strong combat power. If the Russians could do this, I really don't know what they would be like! Perhaps, it would be better if the 100,000 troops under his command could be left with 30%, right? I wonder how the Russians who are used to being arrogant feel?

Well, speaking of this, Lieutenant General Galilovic, who has become a prisoner, has the most say.

In short, this time, he was defeated three times in a row and fled in a panic. However, unlike the previous two phased attacks, Dong Qiwu's troops were able to escape every time. However, this time, the formal attack not only cut off the defense line of the 17th Army, which he commanded, from behind, but the tank regiment's raid and the coordinated advancement of the mechanized troops was too fast. He, together with the guards and commanders around him, even gave several cloud bombs a terrible attack at close range. When he woke up from his drowsiness, he had been captured and captured.

It is also said that his guards were conscientious and tried their best to put on ordinary officers' clothes. Therefore, at this time, he was wearing a lieutenant colonel uniform, mixed with a group of isolated and screened prisoners, detained in a tent built after being excavated and cleaned by five large shell craters, and surrounded the stove to keep warm.

After he was dragged out of the collapsed command center by Chinese soldiers and escorted to the tent for a few dozen minutes, Galilovic said without saying a word, and used his keen eyes like a falcon to quickly and conceal the destroyed battlefields and passing troops. Until he entered the tent, he squatted beside the brazier with his frown. His eyes were dull, but various pictures flashed back and forth like a whirlwind in his mind to analyze useful information.

After the noise outside came to an end, after the first hot meal, the energetic officers and prisoners began to feel restless. Several of the strong and brave guys stood up carefully. They pushed a tall and thin man up the top of the pit like a stack of logs to try to investigate the situation. As a result, what caught their eyes was the stack of logs and the tilted sealed tent, and nothing else could be seen.

The initiator pressed his elbow toward Galilovich: "Lieutenant Colonel! You are very old and must have rich experience. Let me tell you, is there any way to take us out? I think the Chinese people do not seem to be strictly alert to us."

Galilovic came to his senses, touched his face covered in dust and blood, and realized that he had been put on makeup by the guards. The biggest officers of the major, who could not recognize them, were their commanders. They smiled self-deprecatingly and shook their heads and said, "In my opinion, everyone should put away their luck and be prisoners in peace. We have no chance to escape, and even if we go out, we will definitely not be able to survive for a day!"

"Well?! How can you say that? Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, I think your thinking is unfair! As a firm Bolshevik, you must not be discouraged in the face of any difficulties, dare to fight. You must be brave enough to think, and you must persevere in finding any opportunity to fight the enemy in various ways..."

It is obvious that this person was doing ideological and political work before, and he opened his mouth and was a series of clichés, but he couldn't get any useful ideas.

The problem is that this is the case for an old fried dough stick like Galilovic. When this guy said that he had a dry mouth, he tightened his coat tightly, opened his hands to cover the red charcoal fire, and sighed: "War cannot be achieved by just having courage and confidence. In the face of absolute strength, all spiritual power will be dim."

The former political commissar was not happy to listen to this. Seeing that he said something depressed, he couldn't help but want to continue criticizing and educating. A taciturn bearded major next to him slapped his back with his furry bear paw, stopped his conversation, and asked in a serious manner: "Then, please tell me your opinion."

As he spoke, the bearded major handed over the glass bottle he left behind. It was half a bottle but only one or two ounces of 60-degree burning knife. If it was usually not enough for them to be stuffy, but now he became a prisoner, it seemed particularly precious--God knows whether the Chinese will replenish this indispensable arms!

Galilovic was not polite. After taking it, he took a sip under the hot gaze of everyone, letting the knife-like squid warm from his throat to his stomach, and he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk about it. Please pay attention to the tent we are in first. It should be seen that it was made by a slight trimming of the shell crater, expanding and compacting it directly, and adding a cover to it. So who knows the benefits of this structure?"

The officers thought he was going to talk about the other party's artillery fire, tanks, weapons, etc., and they knew that when they came to talk about the tent, they didn't understand it for a while, so they looked at each other.

A captain raised his hand and spoke: "I know. Before joining the army, I used to be an oil worker. When I was exploring in the field, because I didn't have time to build a house, we often dug large pits on the spot, and then covered them with thick leaves on canvas to serve as a hidden place. The advantage is that they are simple and convenient, and have good insulation effect. In fact, many of our semi-submersible fortifications have similar effects."

Galilovic nodded in praise: "Well, probably that's what it means. But you should pay a little attention. So many of us are crowded in a big pit, with only one fire insulated. Why don't we feel cold at such a low outdoor temperature?"

Yes, it’s strange, it’s just a pit. Now they are prisoners, without quilts and no other heating facilities, and they are not cold. This means...the air convection is not very good?!

Galilovic continued: "I have observed that their tents are structured at least two layers. The lower edge of the inner layer is slightly higher and sealed, and the lower edge of the outer layer is crushed with logs and sand and gravel, but a breathable hole is opened on the top. What are the benefits of doing this? It is to maximize the accumulation of heat in the middle, and the cold wind on the outside cannot be blown in, and it will not appear to be stuffy. It can be said that this is the best convenient and convenient hidden place in extremely cold environments. Please note that this tent and construction method are spread throughout the battlefield, including them themselves. It means that before the war begins, they had already anticipated the extremely cold weather in the north and thought of countermeasures."

How to survive in extremely cold weather with a temperature of more than 30 degrees below zero is a science. The Russians are self-conceited and professional, but they did not expect that the Chinese in the warm southern region were no worse than them at all.

"In addition, I found that even an ordinary soldier, the clothes on the Chinese people did not look very thick. From the warm clothes that were smuggled in before, it can be judged that those multi-layer thermal underwear and blended sweaters that were very expensive in our country and only a few people could afford to wear were packaged. Even better duck down goose down vest and fur coats were included. It means that the Chinese people are richer than we imagined. Their motor vehicles are very adapted to extreme cold weather and have not seen much breakdown. Their performance and cold-proof oil must have unique features. Even their guns are exposed for a long time and can fire at will without freezing. These are enough to show that our opponents are too well prepared. They are by no means poor people who can't even eat in the publicity!"
