Rebirth of the National Marshal

The Soviet heavy machine guns also quickly fired at the Chinese positions. In their impression, heavy machine guns should be considered a relatively powerful weapon, especially for the Chinese army. When they clashed with the Northeast Army, the number of heavy machine guns in that unit was very small. Generally speaking, it was good for a company to have two or three heavy machine guns.

But the troops in front of them were completely different. Their heavy machine guns were densely packed, with one every 20 to 30 meters. The density was much higher than ours. Even the armies of some advanced European countries did not have this ability. In their impression, the German army should be the best-equipped army in Europe, but the number of heavy machine guns in the German army was not that high. Where did this Chinese army come from?

Seeing the heavy machine guns in the Soviet army opening fire, Wang Zhonghua immediately ordered the 60-mm mortars and grenade launchers to respond. For firepower like that of heavy machine guns, blocking them with heavy machine guns is one aspect, while using mortars to shoot them down is the real solution. Wang Zhonghua had already planned for all the Soviet Union's offensive methods.

Because the Soviet side did not have many heavy artillery. The dozen or so 76mm mountain cannons were destroyed by our 100mm mortars at the beginning of the war. They no longer had much heavy firepower, and their remaining planes could no longer fly over. Our Air Force has organized a Great Wall of Steel in the sky. It is absolutely impossible for you to fly over and bomb us.

Now it depends on the infantry of both sides. If you want to compete with us with your infantry weapons, you'd better take a break. You don't have that ability.

The Soviets quickly retreated in the first wave of attacks. Even the soldiers who did not retreat lay on the ground and dared not move. As long as you showed your head slightly, or if you were at a height that the enemy could hit you, you would immediately be fired at with dozens of bullets. The Chinese people's bullets seemed to be free. They had so many submachine guns and light machine guns, and their rifles were also very powerful.

Our Mosin-Nagant rifles pull the bolt after each shot, and we never saw the Chinese soldiers pull the bolt. Even if they did, it would take a long time to do so. By this time, the Soviet soldiers understood that the Chinese soldiers were using semi-automatic rifles, and the manual rifles we used were a generation behind theirs!

"Comrade division commander, we can't go on fighting like this. Half of my troops have already died. If we continue to fight like this, all the officers and soldiers of our entire division may die here. Please give the order to retreat." A regiment commander rushed to the division headquarters and said that half of his troops had really died in the previous charge, and many more died in the retreat. It was already good to have only one-third left, and most of them were slightly injured.

boom! ! !

Without waiting for the division commander to say anything, the political commissar standing nearby took out his pistol and shot the regiment commander. Shooting any commanding officer who fought poorly was the sacred mission given to these political commissars by Comrade Starlin. If there were military commanders who dared to retreat when the battle situation was unfavorable, these political commissars could shoot any officer below the rank of colonel without asking for permission. This was their iron rule and also their most important task on the battlefield.

"Political Commissar, you, what are you doing?" Although this is your mission, I haven't said anything yet? After all, I am the division commander here. You shot one of my regiment commanders without my consent. You should know that this regiment commander owns one-third of my troops. You just shot him. Have you ever thought about the impact on the morale of the army?

Xie Liukov was originally a political commissar. He became the division commander after getting rid of the previous division commander. Now he finally realized the difference between being a military chief and a political chief. When he was a political commissar, he could do whatever he wanted and didn't have to consider these things at all, but after becoming a military chief, he had more things to consider.

"Comrade Division Commander, it is obvious that he is no longer fit to command our great Soviet army. Look at him, he is afraid. He is afraid in front of these despicable Chinese. If he is allowed to continue to lead our soldiers to charge, then our army may face the invasion of failure emotions, so I performed my own duty." This guy was still confident when he spoke, as if it was a matter of course for him to kill the regiment commander. Xie Liukov really didn't know what to say. In the past, many people said that these political commissars were brainless. He had refuted this statement when he was a political commissar. Now he also felt that this statement was true. These damn political commissars were brainless. But he didn't dare to say this. Although he was the military chief now, he knew that these political committees were very good at reporting on others. If he didn't want to spend his time in a concentration camp in Siberia, he had to support these political commissars in shooting officers.

"Comrade division commander, now is the time to fulfill your great promise. You should lead us to charge forward and kill these Chinese and defend the dignity of our great Soviet Union." Before he could recover from the shock of this guy killing the regiment commander, Xie Liukov heard this guy coming in and wanting to lead the team to charge forward. Yes, this is also the task of their political commissar. When the battle is unfavorable, the military commander should take the lead and charge forward. This is also a tradition left over from the Soviet Union.

Looking at the strong members of the supervision team behind the political commissar, he knew that if he did not charge forward immediately with the guard company, these people would definitely look at him. This was a tradition recently formed in the Soviet army. The political commissar seemed to be the most important person in the army, while the original military chief was nothing.

This division commander now really understands the pain of the division commander back then. The political commissar knows nothing, and all he has is his own passion. He is simply commanding blindly. In such a fierce artillery fire environment, what else can he do except to die? When did these damn Chinese people have such a strong military power!
