Chapter 524 The battle between commanders

The Battle of Molensk-Brest is regarded as a decisive battle with great symbolism!

If the Russians can win, the door to Bolan will be opened and the situation on the battlefield will be directed towards the side that is beneficial to the Russians.

But obviously, the Chinese do not want the Russians to succeed in their wishful thinking.

On this front, they invested a large number of troops, as well as a genius commander in the Chinese army: Liu Zhaocheng!

Tukhachevsky, who was highly anticipated by Trotsky and Lenin, met the most terrifying and helpless opponent in his life.

Starting from July 7, the war fell into a stalemate.

Tukhachevsky, who chose the Chinese army as the main attack point, did not get what he wanted. A large number of Russian soldiers were driven to the battlefield and then unrestrainedly entered the melting pot. With the flames that could swallow everything, everything he had burned without a trace.

"This is a cursed war..." Meletskov murmured.

Too many people die here, those who are familiar with and do not recount. The lives here are like humble ants. No one will let out even a sigh of sympathy, even if there are many deaths.

He began to feel something was wrong.

〖Chinese people are so calm. This calmness is not how strong they defend the position, but that even if they have an advantage in defense, they have absolutely no intention of attacking and counterattacking.

Their only task seemed to be to prevent the Red Army from moving forward!

They consume here, and then wait for the most appropriate time to appear, and give the Red Army the most fatal blow at the most appropriate location!

Meletskov firmly believed in his judgment!

When he reported this judgment to Commander Tukhachevsky, the commander nodded: "Yes, Comrade Meletskov, your judgment is the same as I think, the enemy is carrying out a plan."

"Then, I suggest stop the attack for the time being." Meletskov quickly put forward his opinion: "Since we have already understood the enemy's plan, we should not continue to move on in the trap designed by the enemy."

Tukhachevsky was silent: "Comrade Meletskov, war is not something that can be stopped just by stopping. The Chinese are happy to see our attack and are even more happy to see us not attacking. While we stop the attack, the enemy can mobilize a large number of planes and artillery to bombard us, preventing us from forming an effective defense circle, while they can calmly mobilize the forces to achieve their strategic goals..."

Meletskov's face was a little heavy.

Yes, whether it is offense or defense, the Chinese are already confident. They are not worried about any changes on the battlefield, as if everything is already under their control.

Tukhachevsky's god was also a little dim, and he immediately took out a telegram: "Comrade Meletskov, please read this telegram."

This is what Comrade Lenin photographed: "Comrade Tukhachevsky, the situation on the battlefield makes me deeply worried. Imperialism is launching a large-scale attack on us. In Irkutsk, we have suffered failures. The vast number of Red Army commanders and soldiers died on the battlefield. In Molensk and Brestovsk, we will never allow another failure. The Party has given you full trust and hope, hoping that you will destroy all our enemies with the situation of attack, attack and attack again, and give everything you have for the great cause!"

"This is a telegram from Comrade Lenin himself." Tukhachevsky said with concern.

In fact, there is a deeper meaning that he did not say.

Voroshilov was on his side, he was Stalin's man, and he was placed here by Comrade Trotsky to restrain Stalin.

If you fail here or the attack cannot achieve the expected results, the harm to Comrade Trotsky will be very huge, and it will even cause an inestimable impact within the party!

So no matter how big the difficulties are, I must attack to the end!

But how could I tell a staff officer like Meletskov about these matters within the party?

"The offense must be carried out when conditions are ripe."

Meletskov said it, and Tukhachevsky had already interrupted him: "Please Comrade Lenin's orders, attack, attack, attack again! The great Red Army will never bow its head in front of any enemy!"

Attack, attack, attack again! became Hongfu's only guideline.

A large number of soldiers were thrown to the front line. Out of firmness in their beliefs and trust in Tukhachevsky, they launched repeated attacks on Brest regardless of their own efforts.

There are no worries, and there is no need to think about anything more.

Either stand on the enemy's position or die on the road to charge.

"Ula, Ula" that made the familiar Chinese people sounded overwhelmed again, filling the entire battlefield. Every Red Army that charged temporarily fell into a curse.

The bomb rain was seen as their own baptism, and death was the beginning of rebirth in their eyes...

The crazy attacks still achieved certain results. The two consecutive attacks on the 7th and 8th made the Chinese army give up some positions and retreat to the second line of defense.

The cheers of the Russians sounded on the positions they occupied, and the flags of the Bolsheviks were also flying in the positions.

They were cheering for victory and venting their depression for several days.

At this moment, opposite them, a smile appeared on the corner of Liu Zhaocheng's mouth.

Although Russia occupied almost all the front line positions, their aura was no longer as powerful as at the beginning of the war. They were no longer able to reorganize a new large-scale attack on the Brest's second-line position!

So this is exactly what I have been waiting for...

The battle situation developed exactly the same as what Liu Zhaocheng had predicted.

In the re-launched attack by the Russians on No. 9, the Red Army's momentum was obviously not as powerful as before. At this time, the Chinese Air Force, which had been silent for two days, reappeared in the blue sky.

The bomber threw the bombs endlessly, and the fighter dived and strafed again and again, and the bullets blew of smoke rose from the ground.

Immediately, the Chinese artillery also participated in the attack. They and the Russian cannons were fired at each other.

Although the Russians had the same advantage in the number of cannons, their more than 700 cannons were lined up on the long front of Molensk and Brestovsk, and they could not effectively concentrate.

The Chinese cannons are exactly the opposite of them.

They were at a disadvantage in terms of quantity, but they concentrated almost all their artillery to the greatest extent and desperately fired every shell they could fire at the Red Army.

The Red Army's cannons were suppressed!

Liu Zhaocheng was even able to see that victory was not far away.

On the 10th, while the second-line position was still firmly in his hands, Liu Zhaocheng suddenly issued an order that was puzzled: "Give up all the second-line positions and retreat to the third-line position for defense and combat!"

This order surprised the commanders on the front line!

They were addicted to fighting, and the Russians were blocked from the position and could not move forward in an instant. At this time, the commander suddenly ordered a retreat?

The third front is already the last line of defense for the Chinese army in Brest!

Although my heart was full of doubts, the commanders on the front line still firmly implemented this order!

They trust their commanders, and their commanders never made any mistakes in their judgment on the battlefield.

〖Chinese troops began to evacuate the second line of defense and handed over their positions to the Russians.

The Russians were initially confused about such "victory", but when they were sure that all the Chinese people retreated, the sound of "Ula" sounded everywhere.

After learning the good news from the front line, Tukhachevsky couldn't help but wave his fist hard.

〖Chinese people finally couldn't stand it, and the great Red Army was about to achieve a comprehensive victory.

Meletskov, on the other hand, frowned, and always felt that something was wrong. At least in the previous battle, the Chinese were very tenacious, and there were no major flaws in their positions.

But why do they suddenly retreat under such a situation?

Meletskov thought for a long time, but could not give himself a clear answer.

Perhaps as Commander Tukhachevski said, the Chinese are really tired...

The battlefield was quiet. Although all the second-tier positions in Brest were captured, the Russians were extremely tired during the battle for several days.

Their consumption is too great, and the price they pay for such "victory" is too great.

Although some of them were unwilling to admit it, they really hoped that the next battle would arrive as late as possible.

They need rest and need supplementation!

The Chinese on the opposite side showed no sign of attack. They seemed to be more willing to be content with the current situation, which also made the Red Army officers feel much more relieved.

〖Chinese people are also tired, and they also need a good rest after a few days of battle. If this situation can be maintained, it will be good for everyone.

However, everything is just the beginning. The curtain has not officially opened.

For Liu Zhaocheng, the commander of the Chinese army, the good show has just begun.

The Russians have made so many limelights on the battlefield, and now it is their turn to be the army!!!
