In early June 1919, the Chinese Emperor Yuze personally led the Chief of Staff Marshal Cai Yun, the Army Minister, Marshal Zhao Bowen, and the Air Force Minister, Marshal Long Feiyu, to Chelyabinsk, Siberia, to command this battle! This is the large-scale counterattack plan of the German-Russian coalition forces prepared by the Chinese Army after several months of planning! On the Ural Mountains and the Volga River, the Chinese Army has gathered heavy troops!
Germany's attempt to negotiate with China was rejected, or the conditions proposed by China made Germany unacceptable. Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that the war will continue! Only one side will completely fall can end the war! However, judging from the current situation, it is very likely that Germany and the Holy Alliance will fall! Only Germany and Russia are still struggling to support the current Holy Alliance, and the rest of the countries have had to surrender to China because of their defeat!
"Your Majesty, the front-line departments are ready and can start attacking at any time!" Chief of Staff Marshal Cai Yun reported to Wang Yuze!
After several months of mobilization, the Chinese Army has assembled 15 armies, 15 independent armored brigades, 15 independent artillery brigades, 100 infantry divisions, 3 fighter wings, 3 dive bomber wings and 3 striker wings. The Air Force has also assembled 10 fighter wings and 5 long-range bomber wings on the front line. A total of five million people, 6,000 tanks and armor
Cars, tens of thousands of heavy artillery and three thousand aircraft! In addition, the Japanese mercenaries also sent one million troops. North Korea also sent 500,000 mercenaries to participate in this war! China's allies were not willing to fall behind, and several allies dispatched a total of one million troops to the front line. Everyone knows that this may be the last battle against Germany and the Holy Alliance. If you want to gain greater benefits after the war, you have to show it in the war!
"Then, launch an attack according to the scheduled plan!" Wang Yuze said. He did not intervene in the specific tactical command. In this regard, Cai Yun and others were much more powerful than him. He came to the front line in person just to stimulate the morale of the soldiers! After decades of hard work, it finally reached the last moment! After defeating the Germans, China's position as the world overlord will be stable! By then, no country in the world can pose a threat to China!
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Marshal Cai Yun and others practiced and nodded. They also valued this big counterattack very much. The total number of troops invested by China and its allies was as high as 8 million. In addition to the enemy, more than 15 million people were fighting on the Eastern European plains!
The Chinese army was divided into three clusters. The attacks were launched from Ufa, Samara and Volgograd, and they were divided into the North Road cluster, the Middle Road cluster and the South Road cluster. Among them, the North Road cluster target was Moscow, the Middle Road cluster target was Minsk, and the South Road cluster target was Kiev. Of course, the specific deployment will be adjusted due to the battlefield situation!
After several months of preparation, China has completed the preparation for the final blow to Germany and the Holy Alliance! Similarly, Germany and Russia are also making final efforts! In the failure of diplomatic channels, the harsh conditions proposed by the Chinese are unacceptable to Germany, which indicates that the door to diplomacy has been completely closed! Therefore, the problem can only be solved through war means!
At this time, Germany and Russia have not given up. Although China refused the peace talks, they hoped to win a huge victory on the battlefield. In this way, they might be able to force China to negotiate! The German-Russian coalition also assembled more than 8 million troops on the Eastern European plains, including 3 million German troops and 5 million Russian troops. And on the defensive side, they can use the Kama River and Volga River to block the Chinese! In summer, the Volga River is wide, and the river surface in most areas is more than one kilometer wide. It is not so easy for the Chinese army to cross the wide Volga River! Therefore, the German Command believes that as long as it resists the attack of the Chinese team, they are qualified to ask China to sit down and negotiate! Germany may lose some benefits at that time, but most of the benefits can be preserved!
On June 8, 1919, the decisive battle between the Eastern Alliance led by China and Germany and the Holy Alliance broke out in the Eastern European plains! China first launched an attack, with thousands of aircraft crossing the border and entering the Eastern European plains, and began to bomb the German airports and strategic areas! The Luftwaffe and Army Air Force also launched a counterattack! However, affected by the strategic bombing of the Chinese Air Force, the strength of the Luftwaffe and Army Air Force at this time had been greatly affected, and in terms of quantity, they were completely at a disadvantage! Even though the Luftwaffe was equipped with advanced Hurricane 5 fighters at this time, it was often beaten by Chinese Air Force fighters because of its rare speed.
Within one day, the Chinese Air Force and Army Aviation dispatched tens of thousands of combat aircraft, blowing up all the airports on the front line of the Luftwaffe and Army Aviation, destroying thousands of aircraft of the Luftwaffe and Army Aviation, and the losses were only more than 300! Moreover, the Chinese Air Force and Army Aviation have obtained air supremacy in the Eastern European plains!
On the morning of the same day, the Chinese Army also launched an attack, and tens of thousands of heavy artillery fired violently at the positions of the German and Russian coalition forces on the front line that stretched for thousands of kilometers! The dense shells directly turned the positions of the German and Russian coalition forces into a sea of fire. The German heavy artillery troops also began to counterattack, but at this time, the German army did not have any advantage in the number of heavy artillery, and it can even be said to be completely at a disadvantage! In addition, the bombing of the German artillery positions by the Chinese Air Force and the Army Air Force made the German and Russian coalition forces suppressed at the beginning of this battle!
The vanguard of the Chinese Army took a landing craft and launched an attack on the west bank of the Volga River. Under the cover of artillery fire and air force, although the landing troops suffered heavy losses, they still rushed to the west bank and established a beachhead!
Afterwards, the Chinese Army's engineers began to cross the river and prepare to build a pontoon bridge. The German and Russian coalition forces braved the artillery fire of the Chinese Army and bombarded the air force to launch a fierce attack. They also knew that if the pontoon bridge was built by the Chinese Army's engineers, their defense line would have the possibility of being broken!
The German and Russian coalition also organized troops to launch counterattacks several times, attempting to drive the landing Chinese army down the river, but they were all shot back by the China Team by artillery fire and air superiority. The battle was very fierce! At this time, the German artillery did not care about hiding its strength and opened fire on the beachhead and the supposed pontoon bridge. Even if it was blown up by the fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force and the Army Air Force!
In order to be able to cross the Volga River, the Chinese Army invested 5 boat bridge brigades and assumed pontoon bridges at several landing sites at the same time!
Although the Chinese Army suffered heavy losses under the attack of the German and Russian coalition forces, the pontoon bridge on the river was still extending rapidly to the west bank! The northern cluster with Ufa as the main offensive defense line first broke through! Ufa is located in the middle and upper reaches of the Kama River. The river surface is not wide, and even in summer, it is only more than 200 meters wide. For the well-trained boat bridge brigade, it is not difficult to build a pontoon bridge of 200 meters wide. Under the cover of the Chinese Army's artillery and the air force, the first pontoon bridge was built in less than an hour!
Then, the Chinese Army soldiers passed the pontoon bridge and launched an attack on the German-Russian coalition positions. The fearless Japanese mercenaries were also the first troops to cross the river. They performed very well like in the last World War. They held rifles and rushed towards the German-Russian coalition positions, as if they were afraid of death at all!
On June 9, the North Road Cluster successfully broke through the defense line of the German-Russian coalition forces and established a solid beachhead position on the north bank of the Kama River. The engineers also assumed that several pontoon bridges were built on the river surface, which could be reinforced by the armored forces!
After the armored troops crossed the river, they played a great role! The Russian army mainly defended the northern defense line. The Russian army lacked heavy weapons, so naturally there was not enough anti-tank equipment! In the northern cluster of the Chinese Army, there were ten armored brigades, a total of 1,800 "Leopard" tanks! When the armored troops crossed the river, the German-Russian coalition forces were shaken on the whole line. Especially the Russian army, they were defeated and defeated on many battlefields!
On June 12, the main force of the North Road Cluster had crossed the Kama River, broke through the Russian defense line head-on, and began to advance towards Kazan! In this river crossing battle, the Chinese army lost tens of thousands of people, and absolutely part of them were lost when competing for beachhead positions and crossing the river. The losses of the German and Russian coalition forces exceeded 200,000, and they had no advantage in air and artillery fire. They had to fight hard to block the Chinese army with the fierce artillery and bombardment of the Chinese team!
The successful breakthrough of the Chinese Army's North Road cluster caused huge loopholes in the entire defense line of the German and Russian coalition forces. The Chinese Army's North Road cluster even divided several armored brigades to attack south along the Volga River to assist the middle road cluster!
On June 14, the middle lane cluster also broke through the defense line of the German-Russian coalition forces and crossed the Volga River!
After the two defense lines were broken, the entire defense line of the German and Russian coalition forces tended to collapse.
Chapter completed!
