Volume 3 Cannons Bombing His Mother Chapter 474 The Battle of Serov 6
In the Baron's opinion, Fu Longzhi's front army was already the yellow flower of yesterday, and it was even a dog who fled in a panic. He took down Surgut to pursue the victory and met with the Central ** regiment at the city of Serov. The victory of this battle is just around the corner.
After winning the Battle of Serov, nearly 750,000 of the three Soviet Red Army troops were wiped out. This result was enough to determine the final outcome of the entire Russian war. At this time, he had no intention of resting in Surgut, and his heart could not wait to fly to Serov.
The Baron agreed without thinking about the cooperation questions raised by his Chinese allies. He handed over the flanks and rears of the large army to his Chinese allies as before, and he will continue to lead the troops forward! Move forward! Step on the enemy's corpse and fight to Moscow.
"Damn it, what kind of war is this called fighting? Our Far East Army is not a logistics force. It's all about others eating meat and drinking soup?"
After consultation with the baron, Zhang Huchen returned to the Army Headquarters to issue tasks to the various units. As soon as he heard the task arrangement, Feng Yuxiang, deputy commander of the Army Headquarters and commander of the 39th Division, could not hold it in his arms and couldn't help but curse.
Looking at Feng Yuxiang's anxious look, Zhang Huchen smiled faintly and comforted: "Brother Huanzhang, I understand your desire to fight. To be honest, I, Zhang, fight all the way from the east, was also frustrated. If you want to fight with the Russians, the entire National Defense Forces are the most experienced in our Far East Army. You must know that our Army secretly participated in the war a year before the official war began. Whether it is his understanding of the enemy or combat capability, it can be said that he is the best in the Defense Forces sequence."
Seeing everyone nodding repeatedly, but with dissatisfaction in their expressions, Zhang Huchen certainly understood what everyone was thinking. As the Sino-Soviet war officially started, the Northwest Legion and Mongolian Legion, which were responsible for the main attack, had a lot of results. With the rapid advancement of the two major Chinese legions, they eliminated hundreds of thousands of Red Army troops, and occupied and liberated a large area of Soviet territory. Such great military achievements have attracted the attention of the whole world, but at this time, far more than the northwest, the Far East Army, which was fighting with the Soviets more than a year in advance, no one knew about it. When it comes to the troops fighting against the Fulongzhi Front, the first one to think of the Far East Government Army of the Russian Empire. But no one saw that there was one of the most elite troops in the Chinese National Defense Forces in this unit-the Far East Army.
Why did the generals lead troops? Isn’t it just to make achievements, get promoted and make money? Is it even left a name in history and admired by future generations? Compared with the passionate defense forces fighting in the west, with the Siberian counterattack, the entire Chinese Far East Army did nothing at all and has been silently obscured and has been doing boring work to cover the flanks and rear of the large army.
This result made everyone's ambitions like pouring cold water. Seeing friendly forces fighting with the Red Army in the west and making achievements, but they did nothing and could not even find the opportunity to face the enemy head-on. They were jealous of them. If this continues, I am afraid that they will not make any contribution when they fight the Moscow Far East Army. After the war is over, can they see others getting promoted and wealthy, but they will not be able to stand still?
"Commander, everyone knows what you said. But it won't work forever! You don't know that the brothers below have been holding their eyes red these days. They are watching the northwest and the Mongolian army fight vigorously there, but what about us? They all do the work of the Master. We are not holding fire sticks in our hands. If we have to do war, who is worse than who is worse than who is fighting." Cao Wenlian, the commander of the 45th Division, took a deep breath of cigarette butt, threw the cigarette butt that was almost burned to the ground and stepped on it, and stood up and said.
It was also his opportunity for Cao Wenlian to be the commander of the 45th Division. Compared with others, his commander who came step by step from the big-headed army did not have a deep foundation, so he usually understood his shortcomings. Although the 45th Division was in charge, the main decision-making power of military aspects was still in the hands of Zhang Huchen. Cao Wenlian helped manage the troops like Zhang Huchen's butler, and always was very low-key. But today, this honest man couldn't hold it anymore and couldn't help but complain to Zhang Huchen.
Zhang Huchen was not angry, raised his hand and pressed down, signaling everyone to calm down. Then he continued, "You are right. None of us is worse than others when it comes to war, but the current situation is indeed a bit awkward. For some diplomatic and political reasons, you have suffered a little grievance. However, I here to assure you that this grievance will not last forever. There will be a big battle in no time. If you want to fight fierce battles, please restrain the troops, prepare for battle, and devote yourself to the war anytime and anywhere."
"Is it true?" Feng Yuxiang stood up suddenly and stared at Zhang Huchen and asked: "When? How big a battle will be fought? Is there an order from the General Staff?"
"It won't take long, please rest assured Brother Huanzhang. The group army has indeed received a formal order from the General Staff today. Just wait for the troops to arrive in the Serov area, our Far East Group Army will officially return to the Central ** Regiment. Think about it, will you still be afraid that you will not be able to fight without a war? "
"Okay! That's good!" Feng Yuxiang patted his thighs with a slight brow, "Damn! If I continue like this, people will be moldy. I heard that Bai Jiansheng has made a lot of contributions to the Mongolian army. This kid is not good enough. When he sees him, he has to ask him to raise his hand and give us some work. No matter what, they are brothers who have swung spoons in the same pot, and the Forty-Fifth Division is still his old army. Should he give this little face?"
"Hahaha! You are absolutely relieved. If Bai Jiansheng refuses to give it to me, Zhang Huchen, will put a gun on his forehead and ask him to give it to him." Zhang Huchen patted his chest and promised, which caused everyone to burst into laughter.
As expected, Surgut was officially restored in the evening. The Baron commanded the troops to capture Surgut and did not stop much. In addition to leaving some garrison troops, he continued to command the army to pursue the fleeing enemies. On the morning of the third day, he finally surrounded part of the enemy west of the Ob River, and wiped out the troops after a brief battle.
"Report to your Excellency, most of the enemy has crossed the Ob River, and it seems that the direction is continuing to retreat towards the Khant-Mansisk region."
"Order the troops to continue pursuing! You must never give the enemy a chance to breathe!"
"Yes!" The commander who was in the pursuit mission thought for a while and hesitated: "Your Excellency, if you continue chasing, it may be a little troublesome, because the enemy destroyed the bridge when retreating. Our heavy equipment must wait for the bridge to be repaired before it can be transported across the river. Do you see if you are here first..."
"How long does it take to repair the bridge?" the Baron asked directly after interrupting the other party.
"It will take two or three days at the fastest."
"I ask you, how long does it take to build a floating bridge with the capabilities of the engineers?"
"This... I will be able to complete several pontoon bridges later today, but you, the pontoon bridge cannot transport heavy equipment. To be on the safe side, I think it is still..."
"No need!" The baron decisively said: "The enemy is now a dog of a family. The most important thing for us is not heavy equipment but speed! Do you understand speed? Besides, I fled all the way, and Fu Longzhi's troops did not have much heavy equipment at all, so I decided to build a floating bridge immediately, transport the soldiers across the river as soon as possible, and try to surround the enemy in the shortest time. As for heavy equipment, the repair of the bridge can be carried out at the same time. A few days away is not a big problem. Eliminating the enemy is the most important thing. Fighting shots are fleeting, so you must not miss this opportunity!"
The Baron's order was unquestionable, and the engineers quickly took action to build a pontoon bridge on the river. When it was dark, three pontoon bridges could be put into use. At this time, the Baron asked the troops to advance lightly, cross the river from the pontoon bridge, and continue to march towards the Khant-Mansisk area.
Chapter completed!
