Chapter 3145 Unstoppable

"Varosha sent a telegram saying that he tested the Germans in the end, and they performed quite well. Not only were the Germans very obedient, but they also handed in all their weapons without supervision, and no contraband was found in the subsequent body search."

"Look here, Valosha is good at describing, saying "these Germans are even more obedient than my watchdogs, enough to bring back my slippers." He is a major general division commander, and what is written in this telegram is no different from that of gangsters."

Malachenko took the telegram handed over by the political commissar and listened to the explanation. He glanced at it and found that although the political commissar cursed, his face was obviously smiling and happy. What he was thinking was written all over his face at once, wasn't it?

"But to be honest, I think this is good. I think Varosha must be balanced now and will no longer complain about the commander's partiality. I tell you that this kid must have complained about this in private, I guarantee it!"

"In this battle alone, he captured the Japanese devils' lieutenant general division commander and the Germans in one go. In terms of capturing high-quality prisoners, he has surpassed Kurbalov in one go and is in the leading position for the time being. Let him be happy for a while. It doesn't matter if you say a few words to those Germans."

While saying this, Malashenko has already considered some other related matters.

Now the last mobile reserve of the entire Kwantung Army Group has been completely defeated and eliminated.

Although there are still many remaining devils, they are all "filling line soldiers" thrown in various contact lines and key battle zones.

To put it bluntly, they can't move at all. Even if they really want to move now, they are already in a state of being unable to take care of themselves, let alone stop the unstoppable giant like the Leader Army.

At present, all the defense lines of the Kwantung Army are in a state of emergency and leaking everywhere. Combined with the overall battle situation, it is a great opportunity for the Leader Army to continue to pursue the victory.

The only problem is that after the Leader Army has traveled a long distance and moved off-road for a long distance, the overall equipment availability rate of the entire army is not very good. Many vehicles, especially tracked combat vehicles, have different degrees of wear and tear and even break down for repair.

For tracked armored combat vehicles, whose average trouble-free hours and overall reliability are much lower than those of wheeled vehicles, this is also unavoidable.

Whenever it comes to long-distance mechanized off-road marches, it is inevitable that equipment will be lost along the way. It's just that the amount of loss is different.

Regarding this point, let alone World War II, even in modern warfare with the technological level of the future 21st century, it will still be the same.

The good news is that the Red Army's southward offensive was launched suddenly, and the overall offensive, especially the main offensive direction of the battle led by the leader army, was particularly swift and fierce, and progressed rapidly.

The railway line behind the leader army, which was rushing all the way, was basically in a safe and sound state.

The Japanese army did not even have the opportunity to systematically destroy the railway network and then evacuate, and was crushed into powder and blown away by the leader army that came like a mudslide.

The relatively complete and reliable railway transportation line guarantee has well supported and guaranteed the leader army's supply capacity and the ability to quickly repair damaged vehicles.

In many cases, there was not even a train station. Wherever the leader army went off-road, the supply train that came up along the railway would stop temporarily halfway to unload goods for the leader army to supply on the spot. After the supply was completed, it would continue on the road to pursue and annihilate the next group of Japanese troops and move forward.

The time spent on marching and rushing on the road was much longer than the time spent in fighting. Thinking of this, Malashenko couldn't help but sigh. He really felt that the war against Japan was more like an off-road rally.

Looking at the war zone map in front of him, his eyes soon fixed on the next target point, which was also the first important city that the leader army was about to arrive at since the start of the operation-Harbin.

"Notify the troops to speed up the march. Now there is no organized enemy field corps that can stop us. This will be the first important city liberated since the start of the Red Army's operation. It is more appropriate for the leader army to complete this task!"

Under Malashenko's order, the leader army, which had just annihilated the Japanese Second Division as a whole, basically did not even take a breath. It simply cleaned up the battlefield and sent back the prisoners, and then once again engaged in the surging mobile march.

The second division of more than 20,000 elite troops was wiped out in just half a day. The news that the division commander was defeated and captured alive and the chief of staff was killed on the spot.

Not only did it spread quickly throughout the Far East Military Region of the Red Army, it boosted the morale of all the Red Army soldiers fighting on the front line of the battle against the Japanese army, and launched a more rapid and fierce attack on the Japanese invaders.

This news also spread like wildfire among the Japanese army. Under the premise of failed information control, it reached many Japanese middle-level officers and even the ears of the bottom-level soldiers.

The situation is already very obvious. They are busy plugging holes on the battlefield and putting out fires everywhere. All fronts are in a state of collapse. The Kwantung Army Headquarters, which has been defeated in a series of battles, has long been unable to manage and handle good news control.

Many Japanese division-level troops involved in the battle have lost contact, and the messenger troops sent out to confirm the situation have not received any feedback or returned.

At this time, the Kwantung Army Headquarters had reached a state where they could not even figure out how many troops, divisions, and manpower they had available.

In such a situation, even the most basic deployment of troops was difficult to carry out. The divisions that were moved to block the gap on the map might have been annihilated by the Red Army as a whole hours ago when they were transferred to the actual battlefield.

As a result, the Kwantung Army Headquarters' "empty blocking" behavior not only failed to block the gap in the defense line, but also made the gap leak more and more, and the gap became bigger and bigger until the situation was completely out of control.

The reason was that the Red Army's offensive energy was too strong and the offensive was too fierce. The Kwantung Army Headquarters, which could not keep up with the rhythm of the war, felt their scalp tingling. The busy firefighting command was just a waste of time in the end.

"Commander, you haven't slept for two days and two nights. If you continue like this, there will definitely be problems. You should eat something and then go to rest. I'll keep an eye on this place, you can rest assured."

Faced with the chief of staff's painstaking persuasion, General Yamada Otozo, the commander of the Kwantung Army, raised his arm and waved his hand feebly, but he still insisted.

"Well, forget it, I'm fine. I'll go to rest at noon, I can still hold on now. Go and get me the battle report of the 4th Army. It should have been sent by now-"

Bang--

Yamada Otozo didn't even have time to finish his words. He only heard that the door behind him was suddenly slammed open by someone. Turning his head, he saw that the person who came was already crying and shouting.

"Commander, no--it's not good! I just received news that the Russians' tanks have entered Harbin!"

"What? So fast!?"
