readx;
Appalling!
The outside world is undoubtedly highly concerned about the decisive battle in Khartoum this time, but when the decisive battle really broke out, everyone still felt a tremor from the bottom of their hearts. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Such a war is too tragic.
The entire Khartoum is home to the entire army of the North Soviet Union, with more than 47,000 combat troops, more than 15,000 logistics troops and support units in various fields, and a total of more than 60,000 troops.
Sixty thousand people, sixty thousand living beings, stood on the ground in a black oppressive area with no end in sight, completely overwhelmed by Abyeji's artillery fire.
On March 21, the first day of the decisive battle in Khartoum, the continuous bombardment lasted for five hours, and more than 800 missiles of various types were launched from the Black Mamba, fighters, bombers, helicopters, and rocket artillery.
The whole of Khartoum was caught in flames.
On March 22, the day after the decisive battle in Khartoum, Abyeh's ground forces were still unmounted, and the bombardment continued, with buildings and buildings collapsing and being bombed again, with huge craters almost overlapping.
On this day, the bombing lasted even longer, reaching six hours, and more than 1,000 missiles of various types of Black Mamba were launched.
In the whole of Khartoum, the continuous sea of fire has not been extinguished, and the skyline is no longer visible to the towering city line, and from the satellite imagery, Khartoum is shrouded in billowing black smoke for more than ten miles.
A large number of North Soviet soldiers were either killed outright, buried in the rubble of buildings, or hid in bomb shelters, shivering, hoping that the bombardment would end at an unknown time.
Two days of bombardment. More than 10,000 soldiers from the North Soviet Union were killed, and countless casualties were numerous.
And many of the troops were completely beaten to the point of collapse. Khartoum, a hellish place from which countless soldiers have fled.
On the first day, with the determination to fight to the death and not retreat, the army of the North Soviet Union relied on air defense fortifications and suffered hardships, and they also pinned their hopes on the fact that in the ground war, they would be able to hold out longer. In street fighting, they will make Abyeha's army pay a heavy price.
But the next day, after the endless bombardment, this extravagant hope was ruthlessly shattered.
In this kind of bombardment, they do not see any hope.
At the command center in North Khartoum, the top levels of the government are also trembling.
Kamal is making a desperate bet and pouring all his troops into gambling. As for Yang Tian, he played even bigger than him.
In two days, 1,800 Black Mamba missiles were smashed, and the cost of one Black Mamba missile was about $600,000, or $1,800, or $1.1 billion.
Plus fighters. The consumption of helicopters and other weapons and equipment, in just two days, Yang Tian frantically smashed into nearly 1.5 billion US dollars.
1.5 billion dollars, Khartoum razed to the ground. It's a big fireworks explosion show that shocked the world.
In the Iraq War, it was as strong as the big brother of the United States. The military expenditure in all aspects is only about 200 million US dollars a day, but Yang Tian smashed in 1.5 billion US dollars in two days, and this is just a simple expenditure on weapons and equipment; once the ground troops start fighting, Yang Tian will have to pay for every soldier who dies, and if he still maintains this scale of bombing, the military expenditure will be even greater.
Jaber said: "They can't support it, no one can afford such military spending, we just need to hold on a little longer, hold on longer, and when their ground forces start to act, victory will still be ours." ”
Stefa's eyes were red, and he didn't care what the occasion was, and roared: "The victory of going belongs to us, insist, you sit here, while the soldiers are on the front line, bearing the bombardment of artillery fire, you tell me, how to persevere?" No, we are going to withdraw our troops, evacuate Khartoum! ”
Although before the battle, Stefa was mentally prepared to throw his entire army into it, and launched this decisive battle at all costs and regardless of casualties.
But when the war broke out, the huge casualty figure still shook him.
In two days, more than 10,000 people were killed, 10,000 living lives, what a tragedy.
In Stefa's opinion, the only way to get out of Khartoum is to get away from this damn place completely.
"No, we must not retreat, if we retreat now, you must know that their ground forces are on the border, and once we retreat, they will immediately occupy Khartoum, in that case, what is the point of us doing all this, and the soldiers who died died in vain." Jaber also stared at the red eyes and retorted loudly.
At this point, everyone is desperate, and there are no scruples to speak of.
"President!" Stefa looked at Kamal.
Everyone's eyes are focused on Kamal, whether to return or not depends on how Kamal decides.
Kamal's body was trembling, his face was pale, and his mind went blank as he looked at everyone.
He's just a politician, and it's okay to let him play political tricks and engage in economic reform, but war, this kind of decision, may bury a country, and he doesn't have that kind of courage, and he is starting to be afraid.
"Or ...... Let's get out. Kamal looked at Jaber and said in a consultative tone.
Judging from the wind direction in the field, there are more supporters of Stefa.
Jaber sighed secretly, and at this moment, he had to admit that people are indeed different, and if it was Brahim who was sitting here now, I am afraid that he would support himself to the end.
There are only 10,000 dead, so what is it, we still need 30,000 combat troops, and if you have the ability, you Yang Tian will also blow up these 30,000 people?
This is how politicians and military men think very differently.
Stefa stared at Jaber viciously, and was about to give the order to withdraw the troops from Khartoum.
But at this moment, an operational staff officer suddenly ran into the conference room and shouted: "The enemy's ground forces have moved and are marching towards Khartoum." ”
The sudden arrival of this news shocked everyone, and Jaber saw the dawn of hope in an instant.
"President, the enemy can no longer support such high military spending, at this time, we cannot retreat, we still have the strength to fight, as long as we persist, victory will be ours." Jaber shouted urgently.
Stefa did not oppose it at the first time, in essence, he also supported Jabir to launch this decisive battle in the first place, and the loser cannot lose the faith, but Abye has seemed to have no end to the bombardment, but it has shaken Stefa's confidence, and he feels that he can no longer let the soldiers die in such a senseless way.
A soldier can die on a frontal battlefield, but not in this kind of long-range bombardment that the enemy doesn't even see.
Kamal looked at Stefa.
Stefa gritted his teeth, still hung his head for a while, and said, "President, I don't think we should retreat." ”
Of course, he also knew the consequences of retreating, those 10,000 people died in vain, and they lost even their pants. And at this moment, the other side launched a ground attack, and this decisive battle still entered the rhythm that the North Soviet Union wanted.
At 2 p.m. on March 22, the second day of the decisive battle in Khartoum, Abyeh had officially launched an attack on Khartoum with the 11th Brigade as the vanguard.
The bombardment, which lasted for half a day, finally ended, and Khartoum, in the ruins, also crawled out of various anti-aircraft fortifications, many North Soviet soldiers, armed with weapons, rushed to the defensive line.
For the North Soviet Union, the real war had just begun.
……
Kaduli, the top government also gathered, nervously watching this Armageddon.
"Where has the 11th Brigade advanced?" Yang Tian asked loudly.
After two days of bombardment, smashing into almost 1.5 billion US dollars, Yang Tian was also a little unbearable, the North Soviet Union was pouring its national strength, and Abye was no longer like this.
It's not that Yang Tian doesn't want to continue smashing, but the Black Mamba missiles equipped with the troops, plus the standing stocks, have all been wiped out in two days.
Khartoum was razed to the ground, but the stubborn resistance of the Northern Soviet Union still exceeded Yang Tian's expectations.
Yang Tian, who has lost more than 10,000 people in battle, such an astonishing number of casualties, has not forced back the Northern Soviet Union, Yang Tian also understands that this time, the other party is really breaking the kettle and playing with his life.
From Yang Tian's point of view, this decisive battle is also undefeatable.
Since the war was launched, there has never been a single defeat, and if the battle of Armageddon is lost here, it will be a huge blow and defeat to Abyeh.
Therefore, Yang Tian had to throw the ground troops into it in advance and send them into this huge meat grinder.
"The 11th Brigade has met stubborn resistance in a village seven kilometers south of Khartoum, with continuous reinforcements." An officer stood up and reported.
The 11th Brigade is a fully equipped brigade, with more than 5,000 combatants and absolutely the best weapons and equipment.
Under such a huge gap in combat effectiveness, the 11th Brigade can still be resisted by the North Soviet Union on the outskirts of Khartoum for only one reason, the other side will do whatever it takes to reinforce and use the advantage of numbers to gain the victory.
"Send the 12th Brigade of the 1st Division and the 21st Brigade of the 2nd Division as well." Yang Tian frowned, but said categorically.
This time, Yang Tian also transferred all the troops that could be drawn, with a total number of nearly two divisions and nearly 20,000 troops, and they were stationed south of Khartoum.
If the overlying missile bombardment did not crush the resistance of the North Soviet Union, then Yang Tian would completely crush the confidence of the North Soviet Union in ground operations.
