Fengxian Jiangshan

The first thing to solve is the Russian air power, and the dive bomber once again acts as the protagonist.Huge fleets appeared over Karaganda, Astana and other places.

These silver warhawks were in groups, and once they launched an attack, each plane was like a cannonball, falling from the sky with precision, and dropped the bomb on their heads, with both accuracy and hatred.

What's more terrible is that these bombers are equipped with special devices. Every time they dive down, they will make a sharp whistle, like a whistle, but the sound is dozens or hundreds of times louder.

Whenever he heard this sound, it was like coming out of hell, and the heart of the Russian soldier seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer.They became frightened and uneasy, and even said that they had formed a conditioned reflex. As long as they heard the whistle, they would be extremely frightened.

Obviously, this is also a psychological tactic, to make the other party fearful and fearful, so that they can look down on them.After two days of bombing, a total of more than a dozen aircraft were shot down, and more than 20 aircraft were destroyed on the runway.

These old-fashioned Russian aircraft are obviously not China's opponents, and the air power brought by Trotsky is almost lost.However, as an excellent commander, especially a person with great inspiring ability, Trotsky didn't care too much. He still firmly believed that the victory belonged to him.

At present, there are more than 3 Russian troops and more than 2 militiamen in Central Asia. In addition, there are troops coming here continuously. As long as they can survive the initial difficult period, the unlucky ones must be the Chinese. This is the result of the civil war Time, accumulated strong self-confidence.

After dispelling the Russian air threat, Zhang Henian commanded the troops, divided into three groups, and pounced on the Russian defense line.The tanks rumbled, the artillery sounded loud, and the Chinese armored forces were getting closer.

Immediately, the Russian artillery also aimed at the monsters rushing, the shells exploded, and the shrapnel flew continuously among the snow leopard tanks.But for these giant steel beasts, apart from direct hits, it is very difficult to destroy them.These tanks still rushed forward without hesitation. The Russians at the forefront could already clearly see the steel body of the tanks. The thick 76 guns were aimed at their positions. With a loud noise, a machine gun position was destroyed. When it hit, the machine gun turned into parts and flew into the sky, and the machine gunner was also blown to pieces, and there was no shadow at all.

The power of this tank is so powerful that these Russians couldn't help opening their mouths, but time did not allow them to be shocked.

"Ula!"

With a loud roar, more than a dozen Russians divided into three sides and rushed towards a Snow Leopard tank. These people formed a group of three, one person in each group was carrying a cluster grenade, and the other two were in charge of covering.

They crossed the ditch and rushed towards the tank.The Chinese tank soldiers also quickly saw through their plans. The machine guns were aimed at these people, da da da, ta da da, the bullets swept across, and people were constantly killed.Before getting close to the tank, it turned into a pile of corpses.

However, these Russians were still able to find a chance. With a loud noise, the track of a tank was blown off, and the 27-ton behemoth stopped immediately.

Although they lost their mobility, the tanks were still the best fortress. The tank soldiers kept aiming their machine guns at the rushing Russians, and the main guns locked on fortifications one after another, smashing them easily.

At this time, the Russians were also red-eyed, and a soldier jumped onto the tank, but he was hit in the head by a bullet as soon as he got up, and thousands of peach blossoms bloomed immediately.But the people behind did not hesitate, jumped up again, opened the hatch, and threw the grenade into it.

boom!With a violent explosion, the tank was finally killed, but there were also Russian corpses piled up around it.In addition to cluster grenades, the Russians also use a large number of Molotov cocktails.In fact, this thing was first used by the Chinese, but it was learned by the Russians, and this time it was used by the Chinese again.

Smoke billowed, and a tank was ignited again, but fortunately the diesel engine was used, and there was no terrible explosion, but the soldiers had to climb out of the tank.

In this way, the Russians, relying on their crazy energy, contained the offensive of the tanks.Russian soldiers and tanks got entangled, and at this moment, the artillery had locked in this direction.

A round of artillery shells hit over quickly, and the armored troops that had come to a standstill were shelled, and suffered heavy losses immediately.However, compared with the Chinese side, Russian soldiers suffered more casualties. This is completely a way of killing each other.

In fact, this also shows the ruthlessness and determination of Trotsky, who will destroy the most threatening tanks at all costs, no matter how much life is lost.

Seeing one after another of treasures being destroyed, Zhang Henian's nose twisted with anger: "Shameless, he is simply crazy, he will not spare even his own people."

"Hurry up, let Huang Xiansheng back, and the air force will give me a blast!"

The sharp whistle sounded again, and the Air Force focused its bombing on the artillery positions. The heavy bombs fell from the sky and hit the Russian positions. The artillery was blown up, the soldiers were killed, and the Russians were dead. everywhere.

But in any case, the Russians finally blocked China's first round of offensive. They took advantage of the darkness to restore the trenches as soon as possible and build more effective tank traps.At the same time, every party member and regiment member has become a backbone, forming an assault team, and each team deals with a tank.

The battle on the second day was even bloodier. The Chinese side mixed tanks and armored vehicles to provide stronger personal protection. A large number of soldiers were armed with submachine guns and guarded by the side, while the Russians were like gophers, hiding in the trenches. , Wait until the tanks come over, and launch an attack.

For two days in a row, Zhang Henian lost more than [-] tanks, but made no progress at all, and his lips were suddenly covered with blisters.

Chapter 8 Speed ​​of Life and Death

Inside the headquarters of the Central Asian Front Army, the dim lights and the unprecedentedly oppressive atmosphere, all the main generals gathered together, Zhang Henian's eyes were red, his face was gloomy, and he said after a long while: "What do you think about the defeat of the past two days?" ?”

After being silent for a while, Zhou Zijian said with some grief: "We made a serious mistake. The smooth start made us underestimate the Russians' ability to resist. Carelessness made us ignore many details. For example, at the beginning, the armored forces did not get The cover of the air force is to rush forward. When launching the attack, the infantry did not follow up well, the artillery was not prepared enough, and the air power was not in place."

"And the most terrible thing is that time is not on our side." Chief of Staff Rong Zhen also said: "Armored assault pays attention to one effort, then declines, and exhausts three times. Since breaking through the Alashan Pass, we have already traveled more than 2 kilometers, and the soldiers have already I'm a little tired, and the logistical pressure is increasing. And because some troops were scattered along the way, we only have a little over [-] people, and we don't have an advantage in numbers. If we continue to deplete and the Russian reinforcements arrive, we will be in a difficult situation Too dangerous."

Hearing this, Zhang Henian couldn't help but nodded: "You are all right. I will explain the situation to the President. The current situation is caused by my mistakes. But here I want to know, what do you have? Any good ideas?"

"Commander, I don't believe that the Russians can fight steel with flesh and blood." Huang Xiansheng said loudly: "Tomorrow dawn, I am willing to take the first regiment as the main force, and I will definitely break through the defense line, no matter how much it costs. If you take If you don’t come down, I’ll come and see you.”

Rong Zhen waved his hand: "Not good, if we said that on the first day, we showed such vigor, maybe we fought hard, and we really won. Now the Russians' morale is greatly shaken, and if we go all out, we will be able to beat Kara. Ganda, there is Astana behind us. If we fight hard, we will lose the ability to continue attacking. You must know that we only lost Central Asia, and we cannot make this polar bear succumb.”

"Chief of Staff. Do you have any good ideas?"

Rong Zhen walked to the sand table without hesitation.Pointing to a place, he said: "Here, as long as we take this place, the Russian army in Central Asia will become a turtle in the urn. It can also threaten Omsk and Novosibirsk, and the traffic artery will be in our hands."

Zhang Henian and the others gathered around and took a closer look. The location Rong Zhen pointed out was Kleku, an important town about [-] kilometers northeast of Astana, connected to Omsk by railway.As Rong Zhen said, as long as they control this place, they can threaten the Siberian Railway and block Russian reinforcements.Let the troops in Central Asia become the turtle in the urn.

There is no doubt that this plan is the best choice at present, as long as it is realized, it can break the existing deadlock.But there are also serious challenges, from where they are, to Kreku.At least [-] kilometers, even at the fastest speed, will take about five days. The battlefield changes rapidly, and what they have to cross is the most desolate no-man's land in Central Asia.The variables are very large, and the difficulty is really amazing.

Once the Russians mobilize reinforcements in advance, the attack will be difficult to complete.The big guys are thinking in their hearts whether they should take a gamble.

But at this moment, someone suddenly ran in with a telegram in his hand, and hurriedly delivered it to Zhang Henian. After opening it, he found that the telegram was sent by the Supreme Command.

When Zhang Tinglan was in battle, he trusted his generals very much, and basically would not interfere with their combat operations. After all, the commanders in front knew the situation on the battlefield better than those who were thousands of miles away.

But this time Zhang Tinglan made an exception and sent a telegram, which shows the seriousness of the matter. When Zhang Henian and the others opened the telegram, they immediately had a headache. It turned out that according to reliable information, Russian reinforcements had already been dispatched.Tukhachevsky personally led two divisions to Omsk.

"Everyone, this Tukhachevsky is not simple. He is known as the Red Napoleon. He is a soldier like a god. He was sent here because the situation is going to be bad." Rong Zhen said a little worried.

Zhou Zijian couldn't help but said, "Look, what will happen if Tukhachevsky captures Kleku?"

After listening to his words, everyone gasped. Indeed, the idea was terrible. Once Keleku fell into the hands of Russia, they would definitely go south to attack Aktoka and cut off the squadron's retreat.

Originally, the purpose of China's attack on Central Asia was to attack the Siberian Railway from this flank. Who knew that the Russians would take advantage of the loophole and threaten themselves in turn. Everyone's face was very gloomy.

After a long while, Zhang Henian slapped the table and said loudly: "It seems that no matter what, Keleku must be captured first. Do you have any good ideas?"

Rong Zhen calculated the distance, and then said: "Commander, it will take at least five days for us to reach Kleku, and the Russians have railways to use, so three days is about the same. There is a difference of two days in between. It is impossible to catch up no matter what. The only way is to use Wu Kaijie's first cavalry division and rely on them to seize Kleku."

As soon as Wu Kaijie was mentioned, everyone showed a hint of joy on their faces. As an old brother who had been in the martial arts hall with Zhang Tinglan, Wu Kaijie had always had a high status in the National Defense Forces, and he was not slow to be promoted. Together with Ma Zhanshan, he can be called The two best commanders of the cavalry.

After a fight in North Korea and Japan, Feng Jun realized the value of using jeeps for quick assaults. Wu Kaijie proposed to install motorized vehicles for the cavalry, but at that time the ability was limited and there were not a large number of them.

However, with the implementation of the First Five-Year Plan, the country's industrial strength has rapidly improved, and it is time for the Fengjun's equipment to be updated. The traditional cavalry can no longer meet the needs of the battlefield. Equipping the army with tracks and wheels has become an important part of the army. party consensus.

As the first ace main force to go mechanized, the Guards Division is mainly positioned as the sharp knife of the entire army, so it is equipped with the latest medium tanks.The First Cavalry Division has also been upgraded, but they are positioned as a fast-moving force, and they must continue the advantages of the cavalry to the greatest extent.

The First Cavalry Division is mainly equipped with high-speed light tanks, wheeled chariots, and a large number of jeeps and half-ton trucks.The main task of the First Cavalry Division is to counter infantry and cavalry, to achieve rapid support and rapid strikes.

Zhang Tinglan originally wanted to send the [-]st Cavalry Division to the Far East, but later he considered that the situation in Central Asia was complicated, and thieves were rampant in various regions, and the troops would go deep into Russia, posing a great threat to the logistics line, so Zhang Tinglan decided to transfer the [-]st Cavalry Division to the Far East. Come over and let them take care of logistical security.

At this time, the main force of the [-]st Cavalry Division happened to be stationed in Aktoka and other places. When Rong Zhen mentioned them, Zhang Henian's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands immediately and said, "Okay, give Wu Kaijie an order to let him go within two days. , Be sure to rush to Kelieku and firmly control this place.”

Zhang Henian looked at Zhou Zijian again, and said, "Deputy Commander, you continue to attack Karaganda with a brigade of troops. I will lead the other soldiers and rush to Keleku."

"Commander, why don't you leave it to me, you stay here."

"No, I must let the Russians know how powerful Zhang is!" Zhang Henian clenched his fists loudly. The depression of the past two days made him full of anger, and he was about to take it out on the Russians.

Soon everyone had a good division of labor, the guard division was divided into two halves, Zhang Henian led the main force, and quickly left the periphery of Karaganda.

At this time, Wu Kaijie had already received the order. When he heard that he was ordered to attack Kleku, Wu Kaijie also became energetic.The [-]st Cavalry Division is a troop with great military exploits, so you can't just sit back and watch the house, what will it look like!
