Chapter 712: The Kurds Leading the Way

All kinds of hovercraft slowly docked on the coastline, and the Red Navy soldiers driving these hovercraft finished docking, saluted the naval infantry in the cabin, "Comrades, it's up to you, we have to go back to transport the second group of people, long live the motherland."

The hatches were wide open, the heavily armed Soviet infantry disembarked, and not far in front of them, the entire city of Ordu was in a state of smoke, and they could see their targets without any equipment, and in some places the flames were the best coordinates.

"Attack!" Thousands of Red Navy soldiers who went ashore ran forward, followed the amphibious tanks not far ahead, and went straight to Ordu, conquering the city to establish a solid position for the follow-up landing force, because of the radar, the Soviet Union's large landing ships did not dispatch this time, not that they did not believe in the destruction ability of the Soviet Air Force, after all, be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, this truth is better understood than anyone as a soldier who sacrifices his life at any time.

Barely a moment of pause, the landed waterway amphibious tank units and Soviet naval infantry were thrown into battle. Rushing directly into the city of Ordu to engage in street fighting, the whole city was bursting with gunfire, and the Soviet tank units plunged into the city like a javelin, seemingly undaunted by the brutal battle that followed.

Because the order of the southern theater of operations in this war is very simple, that is, speed, the speed of occupation is the first goal, as for the casualty rate, after experiencing a bloody battle of the scale of the Great Patriotic War, the generals who have become the Soviet Ministry of Defense seem to be not very interested in any casualty figures, not to mention that the total casualties of the Soviet Union are only six or seven hundred, even if this number is increasing by a hundred times, it will not make the Soviet Ministry of Defense fluctuate a little, as long as the war can be won, what is the dead point? How can there be war that does not die?

The machine gunner, who was lying on the opposite corner of the street, fired two long shots in succession, and the chain of non-scattered ammunition on the side of the machine gun's ram had already hung to the ground, and a patch of bullet casings was scattered on the sidewalk. The machine gunners temporarily suppressed the enemy's fire, but the Soviet soldiers knew that this situation could not last long. In the previous exchanges, the machine gunner had knocked out four or fifty rounds of drums, and now used the ammunition carried by the secondary shooter.

"Platoon commander, I'll rush over with two comrades." It was Corporal Rudolph who spoke, the squad leader of the second squad, a brave fighter and at the same time a staunch communist.

Mechanized infantry, also known as motorized infantry, is essentially a simple infantry, relying only on mechanized carriers to move, and when they reach the battlefield, they still have to get out of the car and enter the battle on foot. The definition of motorized infantry in the USSR is completely different from that of other countries, whether it is marching or fighting, there is not much difference between the motorized infantry and tank divisions of the USSR, what the Soviet tank division can do, the motorized infantry division can also do, and in the Soviet army, there is not much difference in the weapons equipped with the two troops.

Because the night has not yet dispersed, the Soviet naval infantry, which is not very capable of night fighting, is more cautious, after all, no one wants to meet Marx in advance, and bad luck is not the same thing at all as taking the initiative to seek death. They need a certain amount of time to uproot the few remaining strongholds, after all, the Soviet army is not too capable of night fighting, of course, this is not too strong means that compared with the American army, it is still a piece of cake to clean up the Turkish army.

The sound of gunfire alarmed the Turkish units in the vicinity, and the Soviet naval infantry soon engaged in a fierce shootout with Turkish soldiers in the streets. Maybe it's because of the relationship of mutual non-domination. The Turks in the city showed no signs of gathering, but successively engaged in fighting the Soviet naval infantry according to the original squad units.

Ten divisions of the Soviet Union's main force on the Eastern Front had crossed the border between Armenia and Turkey, less than sixty years earlier, when Western Armenia conquered the city of Kars. The Turkish army had lost its organization, the scattered soldiers fled all over the mountains, and the first Soviet tank divisions to attack were left behind as a finish, leading the motorized rifle divisions that later crossed the border to begin the march in the direction of Erzurum, they drove the remnants of the Turkish troops to advance towards the established territory, and the rest of the finishing work was left to the Soviet motorized rifle divisions on the flanks.

At half past two in the morning, Serov followed the troops to Kars, which will be the front-line command, and he was naturally not ready to learn from Comrade Chang Kaishen to be such a great profession as a micro-gymnastics master, he still knew that he had a few pounds and a few taels, and he would not look at any military map, and he had never attended a regular military school, and the purpose of arranging the front-line command in Kars was to show the attitude of the Soviet Union, an offensive attitude.

"Haven't we received a protest from NATO? It shouldn't be. "The entire Kremlin is brightly lit, the members of the Presidium of the Central Committee of the USSR are here, and at such times no one sleeps. They approved the Soviet plan with great determination, and everyone understood that it was a great adventure, and that it was difficult to carry it out in earnest.

The Soviet Defense Ministry's previous exercise plans have all held that once the Soviet Union's huge tank army is mobilized, it will be able to drink the Atlantic Ocean in no more than two weeks at most, standing on the French coastline and waiting for the United States to assemble a large army. The most optimistic estimates are that they could sweep through NATO in a week, turning all of Europe into the backyard of the Soviet Union.

The exercise is an exercise after all, although it gave Brezhnev great confidence, but after all, it was a planned war, and now the real war is coming, if it only takes two weeks for the Soviet Union to sweep NATO, then it should be a week to take Turkey, in order to be safe, Brezhnev gave Serov twenty days, not three days as Serov himself estimated.

"Under normal circumstances, we should indeed receive a protest from NATO, but at the moment there really isn't, which is very disturbing." Foreign Minister Andrei? Gromyko also had a question mark in his head, he had already prepared how to deal with it, but the expected protest did not appear, and suddenly he felt bottomless.

If NATO protests fiercely, he can still judge how serious the matter is by the other party's words, but the silence on the other side is frightening. This kind of heavy psychological pressure is all on them. To put it more seriously, could it be that American nuclear missiles are flying here? No, no, no...... What our radar will find......

"Maybe NATO hasn't found out yet." Kosygin, the chairman of the Council of Ministers, gave an apparently comforting reason, then shook his head and said, "Maybe the United States doesn't care if Turkey lives or dies, and to be honest, I don't believe that either." ”

"In any case, our military strength is no worse than that of the Americans, and the Americans on land are afraid of us, and it is the Americans who should really be worried, because the battlefield is on land. We should think about whether Americans are just as distressed as we are, or even more sad. Chairman of the Supreme Soviet Serepin opened his mouth and said, "Since we have already made a decision, we will have to bear the consequences, and I firmly believe that the winner ......"

"It has to be us!" Serov clenched his fists and ordered to the staff officers around him, "Send a report to Moscow, everything is going well, we have achieved absolute superiority on all fronts, it is as simple as smashing eggs with a hammer." ”

"Comrade General, we have just broken through the border, are we a little too optimistic." The staff officer next to him asked.

"Do you know who I am? I'm the leader of an intelligence service, do what I say, and soon we'll win reinforcements all over the hills, I'm not going to lie to you, go ahead. Serov smiled at the corner of his mouth, "We will be welcomed in the middle of the road, just as we did when we liberated Eastern Europe." ”

Like other cities, Erzurum, Turkey's fourth-largest city, has been subjected to successive attacks by the Soviet Strategic Rocket Force and Air Force, but in this city, the Soviet Air Force is noticeably more restrained, as the vast majority of the population is Kurd. Kurdistan in general, occupies at least a fifth of Turkey's interior.

However, Erzurum Serov is not ready to give to the Kurds, because, according to history, the city should be part of Western Armenia, and the Kurds also think so, and the place where they demand independence is not included.

"In the future, it will be a prosperous border city, a good place for us to do business with Kurdistan and Syria." Serov said to himself to the map on the table, and suddenly pulled out the Damascus steel knife from his waist and nailed it to Erzurum's place.

Erzurum is very lively, no one knows, the general secretary of the Kurdish Communist Party Abdullah? Öcalan has secretly returned to the city, Turkey's fourth-largest city, which has been part of the Kurdistan Communist Party since a few days ago.

Erzurum was hit with precision airstrikes, thanks to the accurate intelligence provided by these Kurds to the Soviet Union, and after the airstrikes, Ocalan, who was armed with a Soviet assault rifle, shouted to his supporters, "The time has come to fight for our national independence, we will create a new Kurdish state, and now we are fighting for independence." ”

"Long live the Kurds, long live socialism......" The Kurdish fighters then threw themselves into the battle, and Erzurum was attacked by the Kurdish communist forces at important targets that had not yet been attacked, while two Soviet tank divisions were approaching at the speed of a rapid march.

The attack of Kurdish soldiers on Turkish targets instantly boiled over the whole of Erzurum, and soon the Kurds, who make up the majority of the population, joined the battle, knowing that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for independence was in front of their eyes. (To be continued.) )
