Fengxian Jiangshan

Give an order, and a company of soldiers acted immediately. They caught up with the Central Asian bandits who had just left. There were more than 100 people, and they were all reimbursed within half an hour.

Moreover, they all chopped off their heads and hung them on the flagpole, setting an example for other bandits. Those who dare to attack the Chinese will definitely not end well.

With a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other, these Central Asian bandits obediently became pawns in the hands of the Chinese. For the Russians, this is definitely a nightmare.

Especially Trotsky, more and more unfortunate news gathered in his hands. Kleku fell, the logistics line was constantly harassed by bandits, and the main force of the squadron was killed soon.

Faced with this situation, how should he continue to defend himself? Trotsky kept asking himself. As the saying goes, a clever woman can’t live without rice. Even if he had an idea, facing this situation, he could only ask Moscow for help.

Not long after Trotsky sent the telegram, Zhang Henian's troops had already rushed over. On the field, tank troops rushed towards Astana like a torrent.

In addition, Zhou Zijian also launched an offensive against Karaganda. In the past few days, his forces have also been strengthened, and a cavalry division led by Ma Zhanshan rushed over.

This is also the main force of the last large-scale cavalry in the squadron. As for the other cavalry units, they are all placed in auxiliary positions.

"Master Ma, the armored force will be the main force in this attack on Karaganda. You take the cavalry and detour to the rear to cut off the Russians' retreat. You must wipe out the defenders in one fell swoop."

"Okay, that's it!"

After the task was assigned, the offensive began. After the first attack failed, the soldiers were all reflecting on their mistakes, especially Huang Xiansheng, who repeated the deduction repeatedly, not letting go of every detail.

This time the attack was launched again, which was different from the past. First, sufficient artillery fire preparations were made, and then the artillery fire continued to extend, while the tank soldiers rushed towards the Russians quickly with the coordination of the infantry.

Now the firepower coordination is perfect, there is no loophole to exploit.No matter how desperate the Russian soldiers are.But to no avail, they were unceremoniously shot dead.The attack of the armored forces seemed to be unstoppable by any force.

The Russian tanks were also sent out, and the t26 rushed over quickly.Regardless of the sacrifice, they rushed forward desperately, finally entered the shooting range, and shot out with one shot.

bingo!The Russians couldn't help cheering, but they were only half happy when the Chinese tank rushed out of the smoke unharmed. The mere 37mm main gun could not do anything to the Chinese tank at all.

On the contrary, after the Russian tank was hit by the 76 main gun.No matter what part it is, as long as it is hit by a shell, it will crack instantly, and even directly become scrap iron.

Seeing the tanks that they had high hopes for were called out one by one, the morale of the Russians was also severely damaged.And at this time, the squadron also dropped a lot of leaflets, telling them that Kleku had fallen and they had nowhere to escape.

Other leaflets stated that Trotsky had surrendered.Hand in your guns and don't kill them, send them back home, resist to the end, and sit through the prison!

Finally, under multiple blows, the Russians began to retreat, and one escaped.There was the second one, and the retreat soon turned into a rout, and the Russian army in Karaganda fled frantically.

At this time, Ma Zhanshan, who had been preparing for a long time, was finally able to show his skills. With the massive equipment of tanks, the proud cavalry of the past.has become increasingly marginalized.However, Ma Zhanshan and the others still insisted on the last glory of the cavalry, jumping the horse and raising the whip.Quickly rushed towards the Russians.

The defeated army who was defenseless, was strangled by the cavalry, and became like a flock of lambs, extraordinarily vulnerable.Stay away and use submachine guns, carbines, and pistols to continuously harvest life.When he rushed to the front, he simply took out his saber, the sharp saber was like chopping melons and vegetables.

Everyone had a good time, and Ma Zhanshan, the division commander, also rushed to the front. The cold long knife cut across the body, and the smelly liquid splashed out.Stimulating the sense of smell, but also stimulating the nerves, the soldiers killed crazily, and when they started to kill, they couldn't help but howl.

Where the horse's hooves stepped, there were stumps and broken legs all over the place, and there was a mess everywhere.More than two-thirds of the Russian troops retreating from Karaganda were killed in this way.

After Zhou Zijian successfully seized Karaganda, he and Ma Zhanshan rushed towards Astana without any pause. This was already the last stronghold in Central Asia, and the dawn of victory was just around the corner.

Before they arrived, Zhang Henian had already commanded the troops and launched an attack on the guarding Russian army.The two sides fell into a bloody battle from the beginning.I have to admit Trotsky's ability. Although he was in an extremely disadvantageous situation, he still inspired the courage of the soldiers.

These Russians frantically rushed towards the squadron as if desperate, facing the Chinese who already had experience in dealing with it, no matter how hard the Russians were, they still couldn't change the huge gap in equipment.

China's air-ground cooperation, infantry-tank coordination, and infantry-gun coordination have reached the point of perfection. Each arm is like a machine, operating perfectly, and fully digging out the combat effectiveness.

In fact, after this period of experience, the squadron is also rapidly maturing, especially in the field of blitzkrieg, after all, actual combat is the best teacher.Only from the battle can we find out the problems and sum up the experience.At this time, the squadron will no longer make the mistake of advancing and retreating, which delays the fighter.

After more than two days of fighting, all the fortifications on the outskirts of Astana were cleared away, leaving only the Russian army in the urban area still fighting to the death.

At this time, Zhou Zijian led the army and rushed over. The two sides joined forces, and the main force of the Guards Division finally gathered. After some battles, there were losses and malfunctions. The remaining tanks of the entire Guards Division were only about 180.However, after combat experience, these troops are more adept at using tactics than at the beginning.

In addition, a light armored division, a fast infantry division, and Ma Zhanshan's cavalry division were added, gathering the main force of more than 5 squadrons outside Astana.

Everyone is gearing up and eager to try.Everyone gathered in front of the sand table, discussing the general attack plan.Rong Zhen took the lead to say: "Currently in Astana, there are still about 1 regular troops, more than [-] militiamen, and a large number of armed expatriates. It can be exploited. Street fighting has always been our weakness, and if the Russians go all out, our losses will not be too small."

"It's the so-called encirclement and lack of one, so let's not blindly attack and give the Russians a way to survive, so they won't be looking for death." Ma Zhanshan couldn't help but said.

Zhang Henian shook his head: "These Russian soldiers are quite tenacious, especially their commander. I heard that he is the founder of the Russian army. He has a high prestige and is very good at managing troops. I'm afraid he won't admit defeat easily."

Zhou Zijian frowned, and couldn't help but said: "Since the other party is the founder of the army, it stands to reason that he has amazing power, how could he go to the front line to fight? Isn't this a joke? It's like our president, why? You should also sit in the back."

When Rong Zhen heard this, he hurriedly said: "I heard that the internal fighting in Russia is very fierce. Now Stalin is in power, and Trotsky was squeezed out, so he ran to the front."

Zhang Henian frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help but said, "Chief of Staff, since there is a discord within Russia, do you think we can take advantage of it?"

……

"Comrade Director, this is the Chinese radio contact we intercepted."

Koldorov received the telegram, and when he saw the text on it, he was shocked and said hastily: "Hurry up and report to Comrade Stalin that Trotsky has betrayed."

Soon Stalin got the telegram through the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which was an ordinary telegram from the Chinese side, to the effect that he asked the soldiers of a certain battalion to prepare to receive Astana, and said that the big men in the city were willing to conduct peace talks.

Seeing this, Stalin also frowned a little. He was not a fool, but he realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.Over the years, he has been thinking about solving Trotsky all the time, but this guy's prestige and reputation are too high to move him easily.

But it would be easy if Trotsky could be labeled a traitor.As for China, although it will take advantage of the opportunity, but from Switzerland, it has revealed that China is willing to negotiate peace.

At this moment, Stalin had already made a decision, and he immediately ordered Voroshilov, who was going to assist Astana, to stand by on the spot.

"Comrades, I firmly believe that Comrade Lotsky is a heroic and loyal soldier, but the situation at the front makes us worry. Inside the army, and at the top, there are traitors. We must first find out the problematic elements. Otherwise, other allies will be put in danger..."

Stalin explained his actions, but the squadron had already taken advantage of this time to enter Astana, and Trotsky had reached the most dangerous time.

"Hundan, this despicable guy is not worthy of being a revolutionist at all!" When Trotsky learned that the reinforcements were delayed, he guessed that Stalin must have made a move. He was furious, but he was helpless.

Chapter 811

The offensive and defensive battle around Astana has been going on for more than two days. The Russians have paid heavy sacrifices, but they are still fighting to the death, especially after entering the city. These people use the ruins as cover to attack Chinese tanks. Launched an attack, many times it is completely impossible to guard against.

The Chinese side also had to pull out all the stops. The air force kept throwing leaflets, telling these Russians that they had become a turtle in the urn, that the reinforcements had disappeared, and that continuing to resist was only a dead end.And he kept shouting to the Russian army with a loudspeaker, asking them to surrender.

Attacking the city is the bottom, attacking the heart is the top.These moves also quickly received good results.Rong Zhen summarized the results of the battle and introduced to Zhang Henian with a smile: "So far, more than 2000 Russian troops have surrendered, and the number of surrenders is still increasing. This is a very good phenomenon. But there is only one problem, that is, these surrenders Most of the people are militiamen, and the real main force is quite tenacious."

"No matter how tenacious we are, we can't procrastinate. We must take Astana as soon as possible, otherwise there will be no enough oil."

Playing blitzkrieg looks very imposing, but the consumption is also huge. Before the war, Zhang Tinglan specially set up several large oil storage warehouses in Xinjiang, hoarding [-] tons of oil.Now more than half of it has been consumed, and with the elongation of the battle line, the supply line is getting longer and longer. If it continues, there will be problems with the fuel supply. Ma Zhanshan said with a smile: "Our cavalry is better. Although tanks are good, they are all oil. Tiger, no matter what time it comes, it must stretch this string."

Zhang Henian also smiled wryly: "Starting tomorrow, we will launch the final offensive. Within two days, Astana must be taken."

Just when everyone made up their minds and was about to launch an attack, suddenly Huang Xiansheng came in from the outside with a smile and said to everyone: "Good news. Great news, our self-propelled artillery has been refitted, and now there are more Sharp weapon."

Everyone listened.Everyone's eyes lit up, and Zhang Henian laughed loudly: "Let's go. Let's all go and have a look."

These people all arrived at the camp where the maintenance troops were located at the back. They saw a row of self-propelled artillery in the temporary shed. There were fifty or sixty of them. The long black barrels revealed powerful lethality. People take a look.I can't put it down.

Both tanks and self-propelled artillery are sharp weapons in blitzkrieg. One charge and one fire support are indispensable.Guards divisions were also equipped with self-propelled guns.However, when it came to the battlefield, it was discovered that the number of self-propelled artillery was somewhat insufficient.

以二战美国的装甲师为例，会配属一个三营制炮兵团，每营18门105毫米口径的m7自行榴弹炮，36门57mm反坦克炮。12门155毫米牵引榴弹炮，6门8英寸和240毫米口径榴弹炮，高射炮60门。

Although the situation on the battlefield is not that complicated at this time, and there are not so many anti-aircraft guns, but in comparison.An artillery battalion in China is only equipped with 12 76 self-propelled artillery, and a small number of howitzers and anti-tank artillery. The number is still seriously insufficient, and it is a bit powerless when it comes to fire support.
