Chapter 95 The Last Winter Battle(2/2)
They are waiting for spring, when the ground thaws and our mechanized troops are mired in the quagmire again, before launching a large-scale attack.
Because of the reserves prepared over the winter, their logistical supply lines were very short.
In this regard, they are much better than the French in winter.
If we really follow their rhythm, we will fall into passivity.
After all, the strength of the Russian army plus ours is less than half of theirs.
So, I'm going to launch an attack as planned. I'll grab Winter's tail and hit him hard.
Strive to cut off a piece of flesh from them on the bank of the Dnieper River."
The baton in Li Xiao's hand stopped at a place called Vyazma.
“This is the forefront of the coalition forces and the support point on the east bank of the Dnieper River that was focused on construction during this period.
Aerial reconnaissance shows that there are a little more than two divisions of troops here, with almost more than 30,000 people.
They are all huddled inside the strong fortifications, ready to respond to our army's attack at any time.
Behind them, on the east bank of the Dnieper River, there were five divisions of troops supporting them.
Behind them is the large coalition force.
The distance between Smolensk and Vyazma is one hundred kilometers.
Over one hundred kilometers, there are seven divisions with hundreds of thousands of people spread out.
We want to eat this mouthful of meat."
"It's only a hundred thousand people, that's not enough points." Hearing that his opponent had only a hundred thousand people, Master Ao's face immediately fell.
He has 150,000 people under his command, and a mere 100,000 people cannot be his opponent.
Looking at all armies around the world, no one of the same scale can be a match for the First Army of the Expeditionary Force.
"hehe!
Who says it’s not enough to eat? I think it’s well prepared.
First, we will send some troops to join the Russian army to besiege Vyazma.
Your tank division is involved."
"We don't need the Russians, we can do it ourselves. To attack a place guarded by 20,000 people and to have the Russians participate is not a joke."
Mr. Ao was very dissatisfied. There were almost 20,000 people in his tank division.
A stronghold with more than 20,000 people was dispersed as soon as a tank division charged.
"I don't let you really fight, I let you attack fiercely, but you don't really fight down. You have to put enough pressure on the opponent, but you have to let them defend.
Only Zu Kuan can do this kind of thing."
"Do you want to gather around for help?" Man Ye, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.
"Haha! Master Man still understands!
If Vyazma is surrounded, the coalition forces will definitely come to rescue.
After all, 20,000 people could not be evacuated and were completely wiped out. It is not easy to hear and it will damage morale.
We want to let the Vyazma garrison see the hope of victory if they hold on.
This will force the Russian army to sacrifice itself!"
Master Ao and Master Man curled their lips at the same time.
This is to let the Russian army be used as cannon fodder!
"I will put pressure on the Vyazma garrison one by one and force the Prussians to continuously reinforce them.
The battle for the siege of Vyazma is expected to reach its climax on March 10.
On the night of March 10th, Mr. Ao, you go from north to south, Mr. Man, you go from south to north.
At this place, the Safonov area joins forces and directly surrounds the coalition forces in the encirclement!
Then, rocket launchers will bomb the ice of the Dnieper River and the bridges above it.
Around March 10th, the temperature began to rise. Once the ice surface was destroyed, it would not freeze again quickly.
We will try to kill the Prussians in the encirclement in three to five days."
"How many people can there be?" Master Ao swallowed.
"That depends on Zu Kuan! But according to the maneuverability of the Prussian army, there should be more than 200,000.
But we can accept more than a hundred thousand people."
"It's done!" Mr. Ao's eyes were shining.
The last time we fought against the Austro-Hungarian Empire, many people said that we were killing a chicken with a bull's-eye.
Although 650,000 enemy troops were wiped out, some people still said strange things.
This time it was different, it was the Prussian army that was the main force of the coalition.
The Prussians are said to be the most powerful army in Europe, and even Napoleon's French army cannot match them.
Moreover, the Prussians have always claimed to be the first army power in Europe.
Not only them, but also those "little brothers" on the northern line.
The armies of Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland are also Nordic countries.
Hundreds of years ago they had a common name called Vikings.
This is a group of people who once made Europe tremble. Even women rushed to the shore to rob with axes and shields. They seem to be qualified to be called a fighting nation.
Although over the years, everyone has picked up rifles, axes no longer work.
But the toughness of the Nordic people is still obvious to all.
Moreover, the Finns, who used snipers, inflicted very heavy casualties on the Russian Guards Corps during the battle in Grozny.
Even the Russian commander Vatutin was killed by snipers.
More than 200,000 of these people were killed. Let’s see what those people who say weird things all day long have to say.
"In the final stage of this battle, we must move in and out quickly, and those who do not surrender must be resolutely annihilated.
According to intelligence, the coalition should launch an offensive at the end of March.
The key point is the northern route which was relatively calm before!
The French army on the southern front and the Israeli army on the center line will also launch attacks to provide support.
In addition, the Austro-Hungarian Empire mobilized another 300,000 people.
In terms of military strength, we are at an absolute disadvantage.
After you fight this battle, you may only have seven days to rest and recuperate.
Then, you need to switch to elastic defense operations.
If I want to rest again, I don’t know how long it will take.”
"Fuck! The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and the earth, I'm afraid of you!
As long as there are enough artillery shells, bullets, and fuel pipes, one of them will be killed, one million will be killed, and one million will be killed."
Mangui returned to the steaming dog meat pot, holding the wine bowl and started doing it.
"Master Man, you are different. During flexible operations, you have to be a reserve team." Li Xiao also returned to the wine table.
"Why!" Man Ye jumped up all of a sudden.
"You are the main force, the First Cavalry Division. Sit! Sit! Sit!" Ao Ye looked gloating.
Let alone the First Cavalry Division, even if it is the First Division in the universe, as long as you are still in the Ming Army, you are nothing without military merit.
Now that there is no biggest competitor to grab the credit, Master Ao is of course smiling like a flower.
“Get out!
Brother Xiao, you can't be partial.
We ride a division, always in reserve.
The war has been going on so far, but not much military merit has been achieved.
We have been brothers for so many years, you can't be partial to this shit."
"Master Man!
Your cavalry division has the best equipment and the largest organization.
I have to keep a knife in my hand whenever I find an enemy's weak point.
Chapter completed!
