Chapter 1554 is in place

The Soviet counterattack was faster and more urgent than General An Jiajun had expected. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

At two o'clock in the morning, about a division of Soviet cavalry appeared at the end of the road five roads southwest of the town of Kornokhazakdaria, but they did not rush to attack, but stopped their march from a distance, and then sent out more than 50 horsemen to gallop back and forth in front of the improvised position constructed by the 77th Infantry Regiment of the 19th Motorized Infantry Division, which had arrived only three hours earlier.

"What is Lao Maozi doing?"

A soldier lying in the trench asked a slightly older platoon commander not far from him.

"Scouting-"

The platoon commander looked at the enemy's movements, and then nodded: "These guys are out of range of our machine guns and want to test our firing points. Speaking of this, he suddenly shouted in a low voice: "Snipers and marksmen of all classes are ready!" ”

"No...... It's too far away, it's too dark to see clearly! ”

One of the snipers approached.

"It's fine!"

The platoon commander smiled, then spoke into the individual soldier communication radio. Soon, a few slight sounds sounded in the sky, and then a red ball of light slowly rose into the sky, and in an instant, the red light that evolved from the ball of light illuminated the entire position as blood red.

In this short moment, the snipers and sharpshooters decisively pulled the trigger, accompanied by the earth-shattering sound of the 12.7mm caliber sniper rifle, the neighing of war horses was heard in the distance, and then one by one black shadows disappeared into the distance.

"Okay, kill six Mao Zi soldiers in one go!" After watching the enemy cavalry in the distance begin to scatter and flee, a smile appeared on the platoon commander's face.

However, the Soviet army did not let the grassroots commanders of the front line relax for long, and soon the shells accurately smashed on the positions that had just been built, and for a time the entire defense line was in flames, red flames and black shrapnel formed a gate to hell, and innocent lives were swept into hell.

Under the barrage of artillery and mortars, the Soviets began their first round of attacks, riding tall horses, constantly shouting all kinds of incomprehensible Slavic languages, and holding long sabers in their hands, which looked particularly sharp in the light of the moon in the sky.

Soon this cavalry unit rushed to four hundred meters in front of the line of the 77th Infantry Regiment.

At this moment, the light and heavy machine guns began to roar, and the sound of continuous fire from the Maxim machine gun and the general-purpose machine gun resounded throughout the night sky, and red tracer bullets and burning bushes lit up the entire night sky.

The valiant Soviet cavalry continued to advance bravely, but they were knocked to the ground by a dense bullet like a swarm of swarms, and the corpses of men and horses were scattered in front of the position.

The battle, which lasted about half an hour, ended with the temporary retreat of Soviet troops.

However, the Soviets were not willing to be defeated, and after a quarter of an hour of preparation, they launched a new offensive again. This time, the Soviet army threw in two regiments of nearly 2,000 horses in one go, scattered into a wide skirmishment line, and slowly approached the position of the Anjia army.

"All ready!"

Lin Yifei, the commander of the 77th Infantry Regiment in the temporary bunker of the third trench, issued a loud order: "Wait for my order to fire!" ”

At this time, the Soviets began to speed up their horses, and rushed towards the position of the Anjia army like lightning.

"Fire!"

As soon as the first mortar shell of the artillery fell on the Soviet cavalry and exploded, Lin Yifei immediately issued a combat order to the whole regiment through the radio.

Soon, the light and heavy machine guns on the position began to strafe wildly, bullets were spilled out like rain, and the officers and men also raised their semi-automatic rifles and automatic rifles in their hands to shoot at the enemy.

In this wave of attacks, the Soviets appeared to be extremely experienced, and through the previous tentative attacks, they already knew the approximate location of the defenders' machine gun fire points, so they consciously bent down when charging, hiding most of their bodies under the tall horses, and tried their best to reduce their area, making it difficult for the bullets to hit.

Because it was dark and the ground was very wide, the accurate marksmanship of the veterans of the Anjia Army could not be brought into play, and the Soviet cavalry successfully broke through the first firepower network set up by the Anjia Army after losing five or six hundred horsemen, and rushed to a place only 60 meters away from the first-line position.

"Boom—"

Countless round marbles suddenly flew out of the ground, this is a directional anti-infantry mine planted by the sappers of the Anjia army, each mine similar to a canned luncheon meat box, can be equipped with more than 500 marbles with a diameter of one centimeter, and one mine can cover an area of twenty to forty square meters.

Under the violent explosion, those Soviet cavalry near the minefield began to fall in pieces, this kind of dense, flying marbles, the Soviet cavalry just wanted to dodge but could not dodge, those cavalry either suddenly had a hole in their heads, or their bodies became a real hornet's nest, looking as miserable as it was.

However, the remaining seven or eight hundred Soviet cavalry did not flinch, and after rushing through the minefield, they accelerated the speed of the charge of their mounts under their hips, raised the cavalry rifles on their backs, and with a burst of gunfire, several machine guns on the position of the An Jiajun were dumb.

Not to be outdone, the officers and men fired accurately at the Soviet troops under the illumination of the rising flares. However, the speed of the war horses was very fast, and the Soviets further approached the position after paying the price of more than 200 horsemen.

"Grenades!"

Seeing that the Soviet cavalry had rushed to a distance of thirty meters from the front-line position, Lieutenant Colonel Lin Yifei in the rear headquarters roared loudly into the radio again.

All the infantrymen who received the order began to pick up the long-handled grenades placed in front of their trenches, skillfully opened the knob and pulled out the fuse, and threw the guy in their hands with all their might, and in an instant, the explosions were incessant. And the smoke from the violent explosion completely drowned out the Soviet cavalry who were charging.

At the same time, the roar of motors sounded on the position of the Anjia Army, and Lin Yifei was overjoyed, knowing that this was the beginning of the tank troops.

Sure enough, behind the position, the Wolf light tank and the Leopard medium tank rushed out from the place where they had been ambushed a long time ago, slowly turned the turret, and with the rotation of the barrel, a tongue of fire erupted, and in an instant the remaining Soviet cavalry in front of the position was beaten into a hornet's nest.

"Charge!"

Lin Yifei's blood was gushing, and he ordered the trumpeter to blow the horn of the charge. Suddenly, on the entire front, thousands of infantry soldiers jumped out, followed the tanks, and rushed towards the fleeing Soviet troops.

......

In the town of Ukara, more than 40 kilometers southwest of the town of Kornokhazakdaria, the remnants of the 3rd Amu Darya Division, which had just escaped from the breakout, were in a state of panic when they were suddenly attacked by An Ruoyi's 2nd Tank Brigade.

The 2nd Tank Brigade pursued at the tail end, and the rout broke through the defenses of the defenders of Takuper, and the Anjia army took advantage of the situation to attack Takupel. In the darkness of the night, a regiment of Soviet troops stationed in Takuper, who did not know how many enemies had come, fled in a panic and retreated along the tributaries of the Amu Darya River to the downstream town of Halkabad, and the Anjia army successfully occupied Takupel.

In the early morning, the 24th Infantry Division of the Eighth Army successfully entered Takupel, creating conditions for the large force to move south to cut off the retreat of the Uzbek Corps.
