(The weather update starts today, wishing you a happy and happy New Year. Happy New Year!)
Blyucher's strategy was undoubtedly successful. He rushed to intercept in three directions, which could avoid the Northwest Army's aircraft.
Although the effect is obvious, the speed of the Russian army is indeed very slow. The Russian army still marches on two legs, and there are still too few military vehicles. Zhang Yunhan, who concentrated three armies to use military vehicles, tanks, and armored vehicles on a large scale, has to be said to be the best in the world. A precedent. The marching speed is greatly improved!

Large numbers of bombers flew over the heads of the Russian army. Where was the hiding space on the prairie? It can only be dispersed and dispersed again and again, but how can the speed of people running keep up with the speed of the plane?
Densely packed aerial bombs fell, giving priority to destroying Russian vehicles and artillery. These were all threats to a major war.
Trucks and carriages carry weapons, ammunition, medicine, fuel, etc.
Artillery is an indispensable part of modern warfare, so it is very necessary to destroy these things.
Aerial bombs kept falling in the middle of the Russian army. A group of 10 people from the Russian army who were taking shelter were hit by chance, leaving a crater and a few shoes with white smoke behind in an instant. As for the people? He has returned to Changshengtian long ago.
In a crater on the side, Bluucher looked at the Chinese aircraft raging overhead in embarrassment, and punched the soft soil angrily.
Looking at the planes coming and going overhead, although Bluucher felt uncomfortable, he also found that there were only two to three hundred Chinese fighter planes overhead. Based on the previous news from Ulan-Ude and Cullen, it was not difficult to judge the number of enemy aircraft. .
Encircling the enemy forces has great hope! !
Part of the Russian First Army of the Far East, led by Zhukov. This unit concentrated a large number of armored units. In addition, Zhukov ordered the troops to advance lightly. The entire unit has been marching almost from the beginning, with occasional stops of no more than an hour. !
Zhukov was promoted to the Far East as army commander due to his excellent training performance when he was the commander of the cavalry division. And this time it was the elite main force of the First Army commanded by Zhukov who carried out the encirclement operation!
Lu Bohan and Yue Zhen were very successful in bombing the Russian Far East Army. The only variable was Zhukov!
Zhukov's troops did not move forward but went north to avoid the Northwestern Army's reconnaissance planes, and specially sent planes to cover them!
Although the Russian army complained very much about Zhukov's order to march urgently, under Zhukov's strong management, the army performed its tasks well.
Since the 15th Division and the 40th Division needed to bypass Darkhan's 17th Group Army, their marching route was close to the Russian Far Eastern Army. Therefore, Zhukov and the 15th Division and the 40th Division encountered in the eastern plain area of Shalingol!
"Division Commander! Division Commander! Oops! The reconnaissance plane reported that enemy troops were found in front of our army! The number is no less than 30,000!"
In an armored command vehicle, Xie Yuanhua was suddenly startled by the correspondent on the side!
"what happened?"
"Our pilots discovered an enemy army 3 kilometers ahead, equipped with a large number of tanks and war horses!! According to the pilot's visual inspection, the enemy troops were no less than 30,000!"
"Quick! Get me the division commander! Also, report to Cullen's former headquarters!"
"yes!"
Soon the correspondent contacted Guan Wenbai, the commander of the 40th Division behind him.
"Commander Guan, enemy troops have been spotted ahead! We may be in for a bloody battle!"
"I already know. Let's wait for the news from Cullen first. Let the soldiers stop and rest and prepare for battle!"
"Well, I have already reported it to the headquarters! It seems that the Russian army is not all a loser."
"This plan is inherently dangerous. It's only to be expected that this happened."
…
coulomb
"Mr. Lu! Mr. Lu! It's not good!"
"The 15th Division sent a telegram that a Russian army of no less than 30,000 troops appeared in front of them!!"
"According to the pilot's observation, this army has a large number of tanks! It looks like it is the Russian First Army!"
"Damn it!"
"This guy Blyucher is really quite capable! I asked him where the main force of his first group army went, and they are actually waiting for me here!"
Lu Bohan frowned and paced back and forth, and Yue Zhen said tentatively: "I think, how about sending some of the bombers on the front line to support their breakout? As long as we break away from contact before Blyucher catches up, we can launch a second attack." It’s the second phase of combat.”
"Well, we must break out of the encirclement. But in this way, Blyucher's main force has no resistance, and I'm afraid they will follow soon!"
Yue Zhen also frowned a little. If the Russian army catches up like this, then there will undoubtedly be great resistance to the 14th Army's obstruction!
Lu Bohan stopped: "There is no other way to do this, but our army will not be completely delayed!"
"Tell Xie Yuanhua! I will give him 100 planes! Penetrate this Russian army for me!"
"Where are the 13th Division, 14th Division, and 17th Army?"
"It is expected to arrive in Shaharhan around two o'clock this afternoon!"
Lu Bohan looked at the map again: "The 14th Army is not far from the 15th Division, since the offensive operation is at two points!"
"Then send all the Il-2s out to support Xie Yuanhua's breakout! In one sentence, I want them to crush this Russian army for me!!"
…
At this time, Zhukov also received the news, and they rushed in front of the Chinese army to intercept this lone army!
But Zhukov's eyes were not contemptuous, but rather solemn! From the situation of the Battle of Coulomb and the planes of the Chinese army that are all over the sky these days!
Zhukov knew that it would be difficult for them to stop this Chinese army! Especially he knows that there are many tanks in the Chinese army!
As a military brother who rose from the rank of cavalry division commander, Zhukov certainly knows how difficult it is to resist the impact of tanks, which is more terrifying than cavalry!
Moreover, the Russian army does not have decent anti-tank guns and air force!
In fact, Zhukov does not support this military operation, because from his judgment, even if the Russian army pulls out the entire Far East army, it may not be an opponent of the Chinese army. Before Ulan-Ude was bombed, he proposed the idea of withdrawing the 17th Army.
First of all, the 17th Army stands out a bit. Although the Chinese army is not large in number, its strong combat effectiveness has been recognized by all Russian armies in the Far East, including Blyucher.
There is nothing embarrassing about retreating at this time, but Zhukov did not know that once he retreated, Bluher would have to bear the responsibility for losing Mongolia.
With such a big pot, Blyucher cannot climb out. This is no longer a problem of incompetence in command, but that there must be a scapegoat, coupled with the bearded man's displeasure. Blyucher is almost in a certain death situation, which is why Blyucher doesn't want to retreat, but wants to attack!
