Liu Zhi and Xiong Shihui are not stupid guys. Bai Chongxi fully understood after a little analysis. Liu Zhi and Xiong Shihui are not unfamiliar with Russian Russians. You should know that when the European War broke out, these two were members of the military observation team and had personally experienced the bloody battle between the Russians and the Germans.

The Russians have always been ruthless in wars. Compared with the elite German army, although the Russians did not have better training and advanced German weapons and equipment, they relied on the large number of people and desperate resistance to drag the Germans to death to the battlefield on the Eastern Front, thus losing the opportunity to win this war. Now, the Russians who were "armed" by the Bolshevik spirit are even more ruthless than the previous Tsarist Russian army. These guys do not take human lives seriously and play the tactics of consumption with the Chinese. In this way, if they continue to fight according to the current tactics, the losses will inevitably be quite large, which is a result that the Chinese ** regiment will definitely not allow to see.

In this case, the tactics must be adjusted. The three of them quickly reached an agreement and rushed to the rear command to negotiate and respond. During this period, the Chinese Regiment retreated slightly and maintained a certain amount of contact with Serov's defenders. At the same time, the artillery and the air force continued to fire on Serov continuously, using long-range artillery tactics to try to weaken Serov's military power and cause a continuous destructive blow to the opponent's defense line.

"Comrade Fu Longzhi! Your command is really appropriate. Today we defended the defense line without much casualties, causing a lot of losses to the enemy, and forced the enemy to temporarily retreat and recuperate. Judging from the situation, the chance of defending Serov is very high. This is all your credit!"

The day passed quickly, in the afternoon. With the retreat of the Chinese regiment, the two sides only maintained firepower contact. Although the Chinese cannons and planes continued to be dispatched in the afternoon, the losses on the positions were not large because they had prepared for a long time. As the sky gradually darkened, the battle on this day was basically over. It can be said that Serov's defenders defeated the enemy without paying too much money and firmly defended all positions.

Faced with the cheerful General Ubolevich and General Yakiel and a group of generals, Fu Longzhi was not as happy as he imagined.

"How is the casualties in the troops?"

"The front-line troops suffered a total of more than 5,300 casualties, nearly half of whom were sacrificed in air strikes and Chinese artillery attacks. The rest of the sacrificed comrades fell in the enemy's attack. Although our soldiers' equipment was very different from the Chinese devils armed to the teeth, the comrades armed with Bolshevikism were very brave. They were not afraid of the Chinese devils' planes, tanks, cannons and machine guns, and continued to do so..."

Before the political commissar who reported the situation of the war finished speaking, Fu Longzhi frowned in displeasure. What are these? They talked about one set of nonsense after another. These things were almost the same as the soldiers below. Those present were senior Red Army generals. Does speaking this nonsense at a military meeting mean that you are a man with a high political awareness?

Waving his hand, stopping the political commissar from continuing to talk, Fu Longzhi asked directly: "How is the casualties of the Chinese? So what is the situation of our artillery? I need specific numbers! The more specific the better, there is no need to say nonsense."

The red-looking political commissar was a little embarrassed, but in fact he couldn't figure out the specific data. The more than 5,300 casualties mentioned before were reported below, and he didn't have time to read the following series of specific data. Hearing Fu Longzhi's question, the political commissar changed his mind and quickly replied: "Comrade Fu Longzhi, because the specific data has just been counted, for accuracy and reliability, I suggest Comrade Batonov, who is responsible for the defense mission today, report to you."

"This cunning flattery!" The generals present looked down on this guy very much and couldn't help but think in their hearts. Fu Longzhi nodded slightly with his expression unchanged, and turned his eyes to Commander Batonov.

Batonov stood up, nodded to Fu Longzhi first, and then directly reported: "In today's battle, our army lost 21 heavy equipment, including 21 artillery and several heavy machine gun positions. The soldiers suffered heavy casualties, but the enemy also suffered heavy losses. According to the preliminary report on the front line, the enemy lost about one and a half battalions of troops during the attack, and another 10 tanks were destroyed by our army..."

Fu Longzhi breathed a little relieved when he heard this. Although he was still as usual on the surface, he was still a little happy. Although his casualties on his side reached about 5,300 in today's battle, his response tactics still worked as a whole. The number of casualties was caused by the bombing of Chinese planes and cannons, and the other half actually became cannon fodder under the counterattack and his artillery. From this point of view, the damage ratio to the enemy has been close to 3 to 1, and nearly ten enemy tanks have been destroyed, which is an unprecedented result since the war started.

"This is a victory! a hard-won victory!" To boost morale, Fu Longzhi happily defined today's battle and asked the political commissar to report the victory to Moscow immediately.

"Comrades! We have a good start today. Judging from the results of today's battle, the efforts we made before are effective! Next, we must continue to modify the tactics on the original basis to minimize casualties in enemy air strikes and artillery attacks. In addition, I am still a little dissatisfied with the situation of artillery. Comrade Ikomosnov, your artillery is too slow to react. If you can counterattack the enemy in the attack as soon as possible and quickly transfer after the counterattack is completed, you can completely avoid casualties and losses of artillery. You must make a thorough inspection of this and improve the current situation of artillery!"

General Ikomosnov quickly stood up and promised to adjust the artillery tactics immediately after returning to ensure that he would live up to Comrade Fu Longzhi's high hopes.

Regarding some of the problems exposed in today's battle, Fu Longzhi explained to everyone one by one, and adjusted the tactical arrangements later. The meeting ended soon and after the dissolution was announced, Fu Longzhi deliberately kept General Ubolevic and General Yakiel, and the highest commanders of the three fronts held a small meeting.

"It seems that the Chinese devils are not too difficult to deal with. We still have great hope of defending Serov." General Yakiel said happily. The result of today's battle was somewhat beyond his expectations. He did not expect that the Chinese would immediately retreat after the battle was setback. This was a cowardly behavior for the Russians who have always admired force. From this point of view, although the Chinese have advanced weapons, their will is far inferior to the heroic Red Army.

"Ubolevich. What are you thinking about? Are you not satisfied with today's results?" said a few words with a smile. General Yakir saw that General Ubolevich beside him was not as happy as he did, but instead showed a deep thought expression and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"Comrade Fu Longzhi and Comrade Yakiel, although we achieved our pre-destination in today's battle, the actions of the Chinese devils are a bit puzzled to me."

"Oh. Then tell me what exactly I don't understand?" Fu Longzhi asked calmly.

"It's like this. According to the data on the front line just now, the Chinese devils lost less than 1,000 people. Although they also lost ten tanks and some heavy weapons, based on our combat experience, the actual losses may be slightly less."

Speaking of this, seeing Fu Longzhi nodding slightly, General Ubolevic continued: "From this point of view, the Chinese did not hurt their vitality. They can fully bear the losses of this troops. You should know that our opponents have more than 700,000 troops, of course most of them are the White Bandits and rebels. But even so, the Chinese still have hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line. The loss of only about 1,000 people is a very small number. Logically speaking, the Chinese devils should not retreat at all, but continue to launch an attack..."

"What do you think, Comrade Yakiel." Fulongzhi asked General Yakiel.

After hearing General Ubolevic's analysis, General Yakir couldn't help but hesitate. Indeed, as General Ubolevic said, the losses of the Chinese devils today were not large overall, and it shouldn't be so good.

"I don't understand a little, maybe it's because the enemy is too careful..." After thinking for a while, General Yakiel guessed.

"The enemy is not careful, but too cunning!" Fu Longzhi said at this time: "If I guess correctly, our opponents have understood our intentions from today's battle, and will take such a response in order to avoid fearless consumption. It seems that this is a very difficult enemy to deal with. The next battle will be more cruel than today. We must be fully prepared to prevent accidents."

"Comrade Fu Longzhi, you are right, but from my perspective, with today's tactics, it is still very likely that we will defend Serov. At least we can also cause great casualties to the Chinese devils in the Serov area, which will play a very important role in defending Moscow."

"Yes! Serov is the gate of Moscow. To guard Serov means to guard Moscow. Comrade Fulongzhi must hold Serov firmly in our hands and try to cause greater casualties to the enemy."

"No!" After hearing what the two said, Fu Longzhi shook his head and saw the surprised expression on their faces, Fu Longzhi said, "Serov cannot defend at all, but you said it just now. We must cause as much as possible to lose to the enemy here so that we can better defend Moscow. In addition, judging from today's battle situation, the enemy will soon make tactics adjustments, the subsequent battle will be more cruel, and we will have more difficulties. For this situation, I suggest starting the battle on the Eastern Front immediately and taking this opportunity to attack the White Bandits in the East. As long as the enemy in the East is defeated, we can win strategic initiative, which is crucial for the entire war."

"Let's start the Eastern Front Battle now? Comrade Fu Longzhi, isn't it too early?" Both generals were shocked by Fu Longzhi's decision. You should know that according to the previous estimate, the Eastern Front Battle would have to wait for a few days. After all, many aspects of preparations have not been completed, so it is probably too difficult to promote the operation in this way.

"We are not ready, and the White Bandits are not ready either. Now, the White Bandits coming from the east are in full force. They try to take advantage of the opportunity of the Serov war to swallow my Siberian Front in one fell swoop, and at this time, when the enemy could not expect it, it is an excellent opportunity to defeat the opponent in one tactical perspective. In addition, the temporary retreat of the Chinese devils also gives us a good opportunity to mobilize troops safely. If the Chinese devils' tactical adjustments, the enemy we face will become more difficult to deal with. In this case, it is better to launch the Eastern Front Battle in advance, fight a time difference, and strive to take the initiative into our hands."
