Defeated Far East Front Army
Chapter 390:Defeated Far East Front Army
In the Central Siberian region, the huge Soviet Union was defeated overnight, and on the Siberian plains, there were defeated Soviet troops everywhere.
There are also a large number of Soviet soldiers, who simply put down their weapons and wandered to the mountains and forests to avoid the fire of war.
A large number of Soviet troops, along the Far East Railway all the way to the west, the establishment of chaos, the railways are rout troops.
Stalin, who did not give up, rushed from the Western Front to Field Marshal Rokossovsky on the Eastern Front and became the supreme commander of the Eastern Front, responsible for the combat operations of the Red Guard Empire.
Before arriving in the Far East, Rokossovsky’s train stopped in Bratsk.
Millions of Soviet troops on the front line rout, just stopped Rokossovsky heard the sad news that the thirty-first, thirty-sixth, thirty-seventh, thirty-seventh armies of the Far Eastern Front were surrounded by the Red Guards in Irkuzk and were in place to insist.
And the front troops of the Red Guards Corps are almost reaching the edge of Bratsk.
That evening, the Red Guards' air force bombed two transit airfields on Bratsk's side and destroyed the train station.
In the same night, two paratroopers from the Third Theater completed the parachute near Bratsk and launched a fierce attack on Bratsk.
Under the protection of the guard, Rokossovsky, who had just taken office, had to return to Krasnoyarsk at night to avoid beheading.
However, all kinds of bad news followed, and the speed of the attack of the Red Guard Empire frightened the Marshal of the Soviet Union.
After all, from the time he was on his way to accept the appointment, the latest news was that the troops of the Third Theater of the Red Police Empire had just left Communist Youth City, but as a result, in less than two days, the third theater had defeated millions of troops in Central Siberia and pushed the battlefield to Bratsk.
This mode of warfare, Rokossovsky had not seen at all, and could not even understand how the enemy carried out such a sharp attack.
After all, in Central Siberia, there are millions of Soviet troops, and most of them are excellent troops baptized by the war.
Tens of thousands of tanks of various types, and more than 20,000 guns of all calibers, plus adequate supplies, two days, not to mention a million people, even a million pigs, half a million people in the third theater, two days can not be caught.
However, the result of the fact, even if unwilling to believe and admit, Rokossovsky can only accept this helpless fact.
On the night of his withdrawal to Krasnoyarsk, Rokossovsky also learned why he lost so quickly.
According to the report of the following troops, the troops have not yet seen the enemy, and the enemy's firepower has destroyed a large number of tanks.
A large number of helicopter gunships were deployed in the third theater, and hundreds of Soviet troops in Central Siberia, even the enemy soldiers did not touch, did not see the enemy tanks, and their own tanks were all lying in their nests.
A large number of commands in the army were also destroyed under air strikes, causing a large number of troops to become a regiment for a while, and they did not know what was happening.
Thousands of artillery pieces, before coming off the towing car, were destroyed along with the truck.
Rokossovsky even learned that tens of thousands of fighters were deployed in the third theater, and at least tens of thousands of new helicopter gunships were sent out, and a million troops were defeated during the night, and there was no need to send infantry.
Of course, these figures must have a lot of water, after all, it is only the news of the next rout report, which Rokossovsky is quite clear about.
But there is water, but not necessarily false, if there is really a means to defeat millions of troops in one night, it can only be the kind of attack that has never been encountered before.
Only a day, in short contact, tens of thousands of tanks were destroyed, along the way to the airport and train station and logistics points, all spared.
Several army headquarters were not even left at the end of the pot, even those divisional and regimental headquarters.
As soon as he arrived, he took over a mess, and in front of Rokossovsky, there was another problem, that he now had few troops in his hands.
From the Western Front, although he brought three armies, but also in order to strengthen the Far East Front, now, the first million troops that should have been on the front line were defeated, so that they could close the rout, not even 300,000.
Another half a million troops were surrounded by the Third Theater, which, with its strong air transport capabilities, launched a multi-stage jump attack, truncating the retreat of the Soviet army in batches.
Moreover, Rokossovsky's army does not have enough weapons and equipment, less than a thousand tanks, and only a few thousand guns.
The serious lack of heavy weapons is not enough to threaten the enemy, and even defense cannot be done.
As a Marshal of the Soviet Union, it is one of the troikas of the Soviet Army with Zhukov and Konev, even if his mind is calm and calm, he is in turmoil, and in the confrontation with the Germans, he has achieved good results in adversity many times.
However, in the face of a new enemy, an enemy he does not know very well, and he is not strong enough, and he is also very difficult.
In the newly stabilized headquarters of the Far Eastern Front, Rokossovsky asked the people sitting in the headquarters: "How should we surround our country and people in this situation, and how should we repay Comrade Stalin's trust in us?"
“Comrade marshal, our present strength can only choose to defend, and we are not at all capable of carrying out attacks.”Below is a staff member.
With such an answer, Rokossovsky shook his head and looked at the others.
“Comrade, my advice, my advice is to avoid the enemy’s edge for the time being, to retreat to the vicinity of Yabinsk, to rely on the big cities for defensive operations, and our troops will be able to be supplied nearby, in exchange for sufficient strategic time.”Another officer said.
Rokossovsky said, “Our original goal was the Far East, not to retreat, to retreat to Moscow, to look at the Red Guards and the German division of Moscow?”
The people who were frightened by Rokossovsky's words did not dare to continue to speak, and Rokossovsky said, "Our immediate priority now is to counterattack, take advantage of the enemy's unstable position in our hinterland, launch a comprehensive counter-offensive, and even rescue the three armies surrounded by Irkutsk, so that we can reverse the situation and take the initiative on the battlefield."
