The Soviet Union, the Komsomolsk Defense Line Command, was also Zhukov’s underground headquarters behind Komsomolsk.

"Marshal Zhukov! The Chinese have just implemented differential firepower coverage on the four lines of defense in front of us. China

People used some new type of artillery. According to reports, a large number of underground bunkers have been blown up. The troops on our position suffered heavy losses, and most of the survivors were trapped underground by ground explosions and bunker collapses."

Soon, although most of the wire and telecommunications equipment in the entire Far East Allied-controlled area with Komsomolsk as the center was destroyed, in the face of such earth-shattering artillery attacks, the Soviets still quickly got a more realistic picture.

Preliminary report.

Zhukov couldn't help but frown when he heard this. Although he had expected that the Chinese general offensive was about to begin when China interfered with communications and carried out sabotage on a large scale, he did not expect that it would be so fast, so violent, and that it would choose the front of the Komsomolsk defense line.

Make a breakthrough.

"Here...here..."

Zhukov and many Soviet, American and even Japanese officers rushed in front of a huge map sandbox. The staff placed the most severely damaged defense lines and fortification sections on a scaled-down sandbox model of the Komsomolsk defense line.

Soon, the initial intuitive situation came out. According to the reports received so far, the entire defense line was very seriously damaged. Not to mention the casualties on the position and in the bunkers below the position, several of the four defense lines had been cleared.

The hole was large enough for the Chinese to march straight into. Either the people on the ground were covered and killed by artillery fire, or the people underground were killed, blocked, and buried in the ruins of the bunker.

"What kind of artillery did the Chinese use? It can actually blow through underground bunkers."

Although Zhukov didn't have to worry about the safety of the underground bunker that was more than ten meters deep, he still felt angry when he saw the mess on the sand table.

"What are our artillery groups doing? Fire back immediately." Zhukov ordered angrily.

"But Comrade Marshal, the range and accuracy of our cannons are not as good as theirs. Once an artillery battle begins, we may suffer heavy losses."

A staff officer said boldly.

"Asshole, execute the order." Zhukov couldn't help but curse. This has been a rare occurrence in the past ten years.

"Marshal, if our artillery group breaks away from the camouflage and is exposed in advance, we may not only be counterattacked by the Chinese artillery group and air fleet, but if the Chinese rush into position at this time, we will..."

Another staff officer took a step forward and said, the Chinese are not human beings. Even if they had discovered the approximate location of the Soviet artillery group, their range and accuracy were not as good as those of the Soviet army. But now it is the other way around. China

Their artillery range, accuracy, and firepower are all better than those of the Soviet army, and they are equipped with artillery radar and frontline reconnaissance aircraft, two advanced equipment that have been exposed, which are enough to calibrate the artillery group.

Of course, they have more advanced aircraft and are a bigger enemy with artillery. No matter how fast the artillery unit is, they will never be able to outrun the aircraft.

"Let the 221st Division, 149th Division, 327th Division, and 328th Division be ready to support the first two lines of defense from the fifth line of defense at any time."

Zhukov waved his hand, indicating that the order just now was cancelled. The first two lines of defense had suffered the most heavy losses now. If some force deployment was not made, it is very likely that the Chinese would not attack the position next, but enter on foot.

"In addition, the US military was asked to provide air support, and all our night combat aircraft took off. It will be dawn soon. As long as it is dawn, we will have more means to fight back."

Zhukov ordered.

Due to communication equipment interference, the command headquarters even lost contact with most Soviet airports for a time. This is why not many planes took off to rush to the Ninguta defense line to try to bomb the Chinese artillery groups.

"Report, our first wave of night fighter groups has been shot down by the Chinese."

Suddenly, a staff officer hurried over and reported that not long ago, a batch of Saber jets that were closest to Komsomolsk and took off in an emergency took off and headed for Komsomolsk. Unexpectedly, they were shot down so quickly.

"Order the aircraft fleet to take off as soon as possible to meet the enemy, and inform the Americans of the seriousness of the situation. It is time to use their aviation fleet. In addition, the air defense forces should prepare for combat."

At this time, Zhukov no longer expected that the planes arriving from various airports could compete with the approaching Chinese planes. The only thing he could pray for was that the defense line and Komsomolsk could withstand the Chinese bombing.

However, Zhukov soon discovered that his idea was too one-sided. With the aggressive attitude of the Chinese in recent years, once such a large-scale artillery group was organized and the Chinese Air Force, which was more convenient for air mobilization,

How could he be so petty? He could only clenched his fists and hit him hard.

"The damn gunfire finally started to quiet down."

A large number of Soviet troops were ordered to go up to the fourth line, especially the fifth line of defense, which had not been subjected to large-scale shelling.

Although they were not baptized by the overwhelming artillery fire in the distance, the Soviet officers, soldiers and political commissars still looked at the three lines of defense in the distance with fearful eyes, even the sky was reflected red. The fourth line of defense was also bombarded, and only the last line was

The defense line below the city is safe.

The sound of the artillery was a little quieter. This can be seen from the fact that the earth-shattering explosion just now spread so far away and still frightened the Soviet army. Although the sound of the artillery is still rumbling, it is at least tolerable.

The Soviet officers and soldiers began to curse the Chinese loudly and recklessly, just as they cursed the people who had to attack the position more than ten times a day, cursing those yellow-skinned Chinese monkeys in the most filthy language imaginable.

"Let them die." This simple sentence was the most popular among the Soviet army. The helplessness towards the Chinese was all contained in this sentence. Although there was no outbreak between China and the Soviet Union for more than half a year before the general offensive.

General offensive, but they were suppressed by the Chinese from the ground to the sky. The confrontation between the Soviet Union and Japan at that time turned into today's China suppressing the Soviet Union. It really made these officers and soldiers accustomed to the political commissars preaching the superiority of the Great Soviet Union and Bolshism.

They find it difficult to accept.

"Did you hear it? There seems to be a strange sound in the sky!!!"

Suddenly, a Soviet soldier raised his head in the trench and looked up at half of the sky illuminated by distant artillery fire. He saw an overwhelming number of aircraft flying in the sky from the light and smoke over the distant positions.

The flash of artillery fire allowed him to spot the plane, but there was nothing he could do to save their lives.

“Boo…hoo…woo…woo”

Aerial bombs of different calibers poured down from the bomber fleet that covered the entire sky. Although the Soviet anti-aircraft artillery troops were working hard to fire, they were faced with the overwhelming aircraft fleet and the falling bombs like rain.

Wow, they feel so capable.

Heavy aerial bombs one after another, and even some ground-penetrating aerial bombs with similar effects to B-type guns, rained down from the Chinese bomber fleet.

It fell like rain, and even though quite a few of them failed and exploded in other places, those huge ships that swept across the trenches, completely blew them up, and even created a pit about ten meters deep on the position, were still harvesting crazily.

The lives of the Soviet officers and soldiers on the ground, from soldiers to generals, from the positions to underground bunkers, hiding caves, positions and fortifications were blown up...

"Air strike, air strike..."

Desperate cries echoed on the Soviet positions. Not only did the Chinese bombers drop from medium and high altitudes, but there were also many aircraft that dived, strafed and bombed. Due to the addition of infrared equipment, they harvested areas that they thought were safe.

It was very convenient to save the lives of Soviet officers and soldiers hiding in the trenches.
