The helicopter landed on the military playground. Lieutenant General Xiao Hua didn't even look at the military playground that had been blown to the surface of the moon. He walked straight to the underground command center under the guidance of the guards. His face was as gloomy as the sky before the June heavy rainstorm, his eyes were gushing out with anger. The blisters on his lips and mud on his body made him look less like a high-powered war zone commander, but rather like a squad leader who had just returned from the front line.

He entered the underground command center and walked into the combat conference room. There, Major General Peng Yu from the Central Military Commission, General Liu Yunlong, Commander of the Beijing Military Region, Lieutenant General Wu Shusheng, Chief of Staff of Jinan Military Region, and Lieutenant General Han Renjie, Commander of the Changchun War Zone, had arrived. Everyone was in a bad mood and kept smoking. General Yang Silan stood silently in front of the huge combat map. Through the smoke filled with nicotine, Lieutenant General Xiao Hua saw that the old commander's hair was completely white, and his back, which had always been as straight as a javelin, was slightly hunched down like overwhelmed. The general turned around slowly and looked at him. Seeing that he was not injured, a little relief appeared on his wrinkled face, and his voice was hoarse: "Are you back?"

Xiao Hua raised his hand and saluted the military salute, his voice was also hoarse: "I'm back. I heard that Changchun was attacked by the Soviet army by roundabout attacks, I rushed back immediately." He downplayed the situation, but in fact, the trip was killing step by step. A two-seater long-range fighter bomber he was riding took off on the broken runway and was almost dispersed. When the plane was pulled up, he saw that the pilot's forehead was covered with cold sweat; the plane encountered Soviet fighter planes many times on the way, and three air battles occurred. The crazy pilot used air-to-air missiles to kill a MiG-29m and used a cannon to explode two MiG-27s, but he finally failed to survive the third time. After entering Liaoning Province, the flying wolf encountered two more

The Su-27 was built and all the missiles were fired, and there were only three rounds of the cannon shells left. The pilot pulled down the ejection handle and ejected the Lieutenant General out. He flew the wounded fighter plane and collided heavily with a Su-27, turning into a fireball. The Lieutenant General walked alone for four hours before meeting a patrol company. After a long struggle, he boarded the helicopter and rushed to the military region. The hardships and sharp turns of the journey were over, and the extremely bad battlefield situation made his inner anger accumulate to the limit. Due to the fact that Yang Silan, Liu Yunlong, Peng Yu and others did not attack, he sat down heavily, took the ice water handed over by Political Commissar Han and asked anxiously: "How is the situation now?"

General Yang Silan returned to his seat and sat down, saying, "It's getting worse and worse. We just lost contact with the 13th border defense division defending Songyuan. Before the 12th Army's 36th Infantry Division collided with the vanguard of the Fifth Guards Army of the Soviet Union... Although we were unwilling to believe it, we had to accept the reality that Songyuan had lost and the west gate of Changchun was knocked open."

Xiao Hua's heart beat wildly, and he could hardly remain calm anymore: "That... Ji

Where is Lin's direction?"

Political Commissar Han said: "The street fighting in Jilin city is still continuing. The 22nd Infantry Division and the 75th Armored Brigade of the Soviet Red Flag First Army have occupied half of the city and are attacking the railway station. There are only two militia divisions and a 23rd Army and an unsatisfied infantry brigade. The troops that reinforce Jilin were bombarded by Soviet long-range bombers and suffered huge losses, especially the armored troops, which were almost completely lost under the bombing of Soviet bullet bombs......" He shook his head and closed his eyes: "The Soviets are already crazy. They don't eat or drink and sleep. They were repelled in an attack, and they don't breathe and come again. The third time is like filling our defense line with tanks! The reinforcements cannot go up, and the troops defending the city lack anti-tank missiles. If they can't defend for a long time, Jilin will be lost in at most ten hours."

Xiao Hua finally had an attack, stared at Lieutenant General Han Renjie and asked sternly: "Why is Changchun's defense so empty? Why can't he even take out a complete army!?"

Lieutenant General Han Renjie said: "The battlefield in Harbin has been in a row, and all the elite troops under my command have been reinforced!"

Xiao Hua roared: "You won't keep at least one reserve force of the army? Do you think that Changchun can rest assured that we will withstand the Soviet offensive in Harbin, and all the desperate attempts to send reinforcements to Harbin? I tell you, your idea is very wrong! The Soviet army's operation to open a road in the primeval forest and bypass the Xing'an Mountains and go straight to Harbin proves that there is no natural obstacle that they cannot overcome! As early as the Soviet-German War, the heavy-armed Soviet troops crossed the swamp called the life-forbidden zone more than once, appearing in unexpected places of the German army, and defeated the German army. Have you never studied these battle examples? There is not enough force? There is not enough force. You will not select outstanding soldiers from militia and border guards to supplement them into various divisions and brigades?"

Lieutenant General Han Renjie was yelled and his face turned pale, his lips were moving, and he couldn't speak. He had trouble. Changchun was more than 200 kilometers away from Harbin and was still far from the front line. Therefore, from the very beginning, the mission of the Changchun War Zone was defined as the rear of the Harbin War Zone, responsible for providing supplies and personnel supplies to Harbin. When the war was in a hurry, he would support the Harbin battlefield, or respond to the retreat of the Harbin War Zone, and at the same time defend against the Soviet army from Hunchun. He did a good job in these aspects. It was originally thought that at most it was only

Harbin, who could last for two weeks, held the Amur front tightly, and failed to take Harbin for a month without taking over the bloody battle. He had his own contribution to this, and he gave priority to whatever needs were needed on the Harbin battlefield. Only when the Harbin battlefield withstanded, Changchun could talk about safety. This idea was not wrong, but he had to face the Soviet army, the most powerful and crazy ground forces of this era, and the steel torrents that crossed the Eurasian continent. His talent was not enough to compete with Soviet generals such as Rosoftsky and Tumensolev.

Xiao Hua's face was still ashen and said hard: "In the past thirty-six hours, the Soviet army launched six large-scale attacks on the front line that stretched for nearly 200 kilometers, with an average of once every six hours. The Soviet army in Hulun direction launched nineteen charges, which put great pressure on us. In addition to playing a perfect deception role, these fierce attacks covered up the strategic purpose of the two main armies' large detours, they also seized more than 60 of our large and small peripheral areas.

At the position, the front fortress of the Harbin theater on the other side of the Songhua River is only one Hulan left, and is barely supporting it... "At this point, he took a deep breath, "If the situation does not improve, at most three days, the Amur front army can seize most important ferries and cross the Songhua River unimpeded. The two important railways from Jilin to Harbin were destroyed by the Soviet detoured troops, and the logistics line was cut off, and Harbin could not last long."

Major General Peng Yu was silent for a moment and said, "It is already a miracle that Harbin can hold on for more than a month. If you really can't hold on, just give up and withdraw the troops back to Changchun and leave the green mountains, even if there is no firewood. The most urgent task is to annihilate the roundabout troops of the Soviet army. Commander Yang, are you sure to annihilate the two armies of the Soviet army?"

Lieutenant General Yang Silan shook his head slowly: "The First Red Flag Army and the Fifth Guard Army are both top elites of the Soviet Army. They come with a deep heart to break the sunken boat. With the support of the Soviet Air Force, it is almost impossible to complete the task of annihilation of these two armies."

General Liu Yunlong saw Major General Peng Yu's face turned gloomy and explained a little heavy: "The First Red Flag Army and the Fifth Guard Army both have a force of about 70,000 to 80,000, which is one of the few strategic armies of the Soviet army. It has no less than 500 main battle tanks and as many as 300 large-caliber artillery. Together, it is nearly 1,000 main battle tanks, six hundred large-caliber artillery, and more than 100,000 troops. These two armies have been raising their energy. Our army has been fighting hard for more than a month and is already very tired. The air force is seriously injured. In this case, it is really impossible to annihilate these two armies."

Major General Peng Yu said irritably: "I know all of these, and the Military Commission also knows them! But Changchun is less than 300 kilometers away from Harbin, and the Soviet armored troops advanced at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour, and they rushed to Changchun City in six or seven hours. If they cannot annihilate them before they meet with Amur Front, the Changchun defense line will not be stable. How can we deal with the torrent of steel coming like a tide?"

General Yang Silan pointed to the great plain between the two railways and said, "After Harbin's loss, the thousands of miles of fertile fields in the hinterland of the northeast were exposed to the Soviet army's troops. No one could block the crazy impact of the Soviet army on this open and open plain. Now what we need to care about is not whether we can defend Changchun, but whether we can withdraw hundreds of thousands of troops on the battlefield in Harbin!" He looked at Major General Peng Yu and said word by word: "We need air force support, we need more tanks and helicopters, and we need more anti-tanks

G missile!"

The major general did not speak. The situation in the Northeast battlefield is now extremely critical. Without these equipment and air force support, the consequences will be disastrous. However, due to the increasing threat from Inner Mongolia, the Central Military Commission had to transfer a large number of armored troops, helicopters and anti-tank missiles to Inner Mongolia to curb the flood-like offensive of the Outer Mongolia Front. The Central Military Commission could not provide the reinforcements urgently needed by the Shenyang Military Region in a short time. As for the Air Force, it has lost nearly 700 in the past month.

One third of the fighter jets were the J-10 and J-12. Due to the heavy blow of Shenyang Aircraft Corporation, it has not been able to resume production until now. Many J-12s cannot receive maintenance and spare parts, and fewer and fewer can be deployed. Before the 200 F-14 fighter jets purchased from Citigroup were delivered, the Air Force could only barely maintain air security in North China, and provide relatively limited support to the battlefields of Northeast China and Inner Mongolia, and lost the ability to conduct large-scale dispatches to compete with the Soviet army for air supremacy at the beginning of the war, and to resist tit-for-tat.

The atmosphere was so depressing that it was breathless that the meeting lasted for six hours. During this period they received two good news and one bad news:

The first good news is that the Pioneer aircraft carrier battle group finally arrived in Dalian Bay, launching air strikes on the Soviet army on the front line of Hunchun, helping the 39th Army and the 23rd Army to get rid of this annoying dog-skin plaster and launching medium-range cruise missiles to launch a precise strike on the Hongqi First Army.

The second good news is that the first batch of sixteen F-14 fighter jets have arrived in Jinan. Stimulated by the US dollar, the efficiency of the two-headed Eagles is unprecedentedly high. It only took a week before the contract was signed.

The bad news is that Jilin City has fallen, and the First Red Flag Army is only 80 kilometers away from Changchun. The Amur Front seized the opportunity to launch a scattered offensive on Harbin, and Harbin was in a row of emergency!

General Yang Silan was silent for a long time and said heavily: "Xiao Hua, you should immediately prepare for retreating from Harbin. You must arrange the troops that have been cut off. You must not be confused. Otherwise, the railway from Changchun to Harbin will most likely turn into a road of death." His eyes fell on Lieutenant General Han Renjie, and his expression was a bit complicated. Han Renjie, from battalion commander to division commander, army commander, and then to war zone commander, were all promoted by him. He performed well in the Annan War. However, this time, his poor performance really disappointed the old commander. The general hesitated whether he should remove him. After pondering for a while, he still gave up this idea and changed his generals at the last minute. It was a taboo for military strategists. The situation was critical, and he could only choose to continue to believe in this beloved general he had worked hard to cultivate.

"You go back to Changchun immediately, dismantle the two tank production lines in Changchun City and send them into the pass, organize troops to build defense lines on the periphery of Changchun, and respond to the retreat of the main troops of the Harbin War Zone. Remember, without my order, even if you fight only the last company, you cannot retreat!" General Yang Silan said word by word, "The soldiers are all killed, the officers are on the top of the head."

Go, the officers have finished all the tests, you can just push me over. If you still can't hold back, I don't mind filling my old bones in it!"

Lieutenant General Han Renjie's face turned pale, and even his lips were bloodless. His muscles twitched slightly and he said, "Old Commander, don't worry, I have 70,000 or 80,000 troops under my command. It's no problem to search and expand to more than 100,000. Even if I lead the guards to fight for the Soviet army, I won't let you fill it in!" He stood up, saluted the old commander solemnly, then picked up his military cap, and walked out with a meteor. Under the dim light, his body seemed to be covered with a gray-black death breath. The trace of disappointment that passed through his eyes just now hurt his heart, and the disastrous consequences caused by negligence made him regret even more. Now he wants to use his blood to wash away the shame on his body. Changchun will be his last position. After walking on the helicopter flying to Changchun, he did not plan to come back alive.

Two weeks later, Lieutenant General Han Renjie was killed in the street battle in Changchun. His body was surrounded by burning Soviet tank wreckage, and the bodies of the guard company were arranged in circles around him.
