Chapter 243: Marching into Burleigh
The Chinese Air Force is carrying out unscrupulous bombing of the ground-based air defense systems of the Red Banner Far East Air Defense Force of the Soviet Army around the Khabarovsk airfield.
Under the ravages of iron and fire, I wonder if these Soviet big brothers still have the toughness and temper of the Russian nation? In the positions and barracks of the 37th Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment and the M15A1 Self-propelled Anti-aircraft Artillery Regiment of the 7th Division of the Red Banner Far East Air Defense Force of the Soviet Army, all that could be seen was the charred corpses of these big brothers burned in the flames of the ruins, and the terrible screams of the wounded
Toughness is relative to cowardice. When you kneel and look at others, they are always taller than you.
The D1001 and another "Saboteur 2" bomber piloted by Yang Zhe also appeared over the Khabarovsk airfield and entered the attack position.
They did not bomb the various Soviet planes parked on both sides of the airfield's auxiliary road. Instead, it was aimed at the runway of the airport. The weapon columnist sitting in the back row was victorious, and through the multi-purpose fire control radar, he accurately dropped four anti-runway bombs weighing 500 kilograms on the length and short runways of the "Comma" airfield. Completely destroy the runway of the Soviet army. At the same time, another "Saboteur 2" bomber also dropped four anti-runway bombs on the long runway of the Khabarovsk Civil Aviation Airport, more than 4,000 meters north of the "Comma" airport.
This anti-runway bomb is also the result of the high technology of later generations, and its warhead shell is made of nickel-cobalt steel alloy and contains high-energy explosives. It is capable of drilling into layers of soil up to 20 meters thick, or penetrating layers of reinforced concrete up to 4 meters thick.
In order to avoid the uncontrollable flight attitude of the anti-runway bomb when it falls freely, the angle between the bomb and the airport runway is too small, and the phenomenon of ricochet occurs. Add a small solid rocket to the tail of the anti-runway bomb, when the anti-runway bomb is dropped, the rocket is ignited at a certain height from the ground, and the bomb is nailed into the runway like a nail gun used by carpenters, and detonated at the best depth to maximize the degree of damage to the runway, so as to destroy the concrete surface of the runway, form a crater that is difficult to repair, and form some cavities in the soil layer below the concrete surface of the runway, which destroys the internal structure of the concrete on the surface of the runway above, and becomes a fragmented bulge. The original runway loses the huge impact capacity generated by the take-off and landing of aircraft.
If you want to repair it, you must clean all the concrete surfaces that have been shaken by the surface bulge, fill them in and re-pavement. In this way, the project will be large, and it will not be a simple problem of filling the pit.
Moreover, this kind of bomb is scattered with mines and bullets in one, and it also has a continuous killing effect. The mines were set to detonate and equipped with anti-demolition devices, which could effectively stop the repair work of the Soviet troops. Destruction of runway maintenance equipment at Soviet airfields, killing and injuring restoration personnel at Soviet airfields. To achieve the goal of preventing the Soviet planes from taking off at the Khabarovsk airfield. In the end, these planes were intact and became trophies of the [***] team.
After the stormy air raid of the [***] team, Yang Guang did not break his promise to Warbinovsky. A Soviet Mi-4 multi-purpose helicopter piloted by Flying Leopards, which I don't know where I got it, landed on the lawn in front of Villa Huapinovsky. Picked up Vapinowski's family.
After sending off his family, Huapinovsky had nothing to fear. Accompanied by Yang Guang, he inspected the villa area where party, government, and military dignitaries lived in the Soviet Far East. A total of 8 places in the entire villa area were bombed, and these 8 places were the residences of officers of the Soviet army, navy and air force above the rank of major general. None of the people in these eight "hard-hit areas" were spared. He also witnessed the corpse of General Hashlesov, commander of the Red Banner Military District of the Soviet Far East, who was pulled out of the ruins of the villa and had no skin and face beyond recognition, and witnessed the tremendous power of the "heart-digging and beheading" tactics of the Chinese [***] team.
Then he drove to the headquarters of the Far Eastern Military District of the Soviet Army, and he was once again shocked by what he saw. The gray five-story building of the Far Eastern Military District Operational Command Center was blown up and only sections of the broken walls were shrouded in the flames, and the rubble of the buildings and some messy garbage and a charred corpse were scattered everywhere, and some of the cars in front of the building were blown up and scattered, and they were thrown far away by the shock wave of the explosion, some of which were flipped to the side and were still burning, and some were burned in the fire and only an ugly black shelf.
The body of Chief of Staff Ivan Erbinsky, with a bruish-purple face, was carried out of the basement by firefighters.
Warpinovsky was once again secretly glad and once again grateful to the Chinese comrades for giving him a chance to live. It proves that what Comrade Yang Guang said is to save his own life is by no means a lie. He sincerely felt that China's "heart-digging and decapitation" operation, which was carried out from the air, was too perfectly organized and accurate, the attack time was uniform, the target of the attack was accurate, and the attack range did not deviate at all.
To his wonder, how did the [***] team do all this? Although he knew that China's weapons were very advanced, it was still greatly unexpected for him to be advanced to such an extent. Not only did he not expect, but the entire Soviet Union had not imagined it before. China's intelligence is so accurate, its long-range strikes are so accurate, and the bombs they use are so powerful. Fighting with such an army is only looking for death, and those main battle factions who are not self-sufficient do not know how they died. The USSR is really going to be finished this time.
At this time, the deputy commander of the Far Eastern Military District in charge of logistics, Lieutenant General Strelnikov, also came to the command. Warpinovsky absentmindedly listened to the deputy commander tell about his "adventures" and thought to himself, you Strelnikov, don't talk to me in the vernacular. If you don't belong to the Lord's faction, can you still have a life? I thought about it in my heart, but I said: "Comrade Strelnikov, we are all lucky, you know? Commander Hashlesov and Chief of Staff Ivan Erbinsky have already died. Now we should take over their entire work. Now I announce the formation of a provisional command of the Far Eastern Military District, headed by me and with you as deputy, and I ask you to further verify the casualties of the commanders of the command colonel and above, and organize them to take over the work of those who have died and been wounded. For those who dare to disobey orders, battlefield discipline is enforced according to regulations. Military movements at the regimental level are absolutely not allowed without my orders.
Lieutenant General Strelnikov immediately said that the political commissar is now the supreme leader of the Far Eastern Military District, and it is only natural that he should come out to preside over the overall situation. As the deputy commander of the Far Eastern Military District of the Soviet Union, he must have assumed his due responsibilities under the leadership of Comrade Political Commissar at this time. We must obey the leadership of the political commissar, closely rally around the political commissar, obey the party's command, obey the political commissar, and work together with the political commissar.
Colonel-General Warpinovsky quite naturally entered the role, taking over the military command of the Far Eastern Military District. He also methodically carried out a series of military maneuvers according to the "defense map" given to him by Yang Guang. Since both wired and wireless communications were now out of order, he directly sent the staff officers of the headquarters to inform the various units.
After receiving the order, the 1st Far East Guard Division of the Khabarovsk City Garrison Force had some doubts about the transfer of its own internal guard unit, which was only responsible for the Khabarovsk city area, from the Khabarovsk City Temporary Command Headquarters of the Far Eastern Military District headed by General Warpinovsky, but there were indeed no defensive troops on the front of the Khabarovsk City to block the attack of the [***] team. It is also unexpected to let his own internal guard force go around the front defense, and it is a matter of love.
Is this a hole in the defense of the Soviet army? Probably not. Because the size of the USSR was simply too large. How sparsely populated is the land? In a Soviet collective farm with only more than 4,000 people, it covers more than 9,000 square kilometers of land, or 2 square kilometers per capita. At this time, the total population of the Soviet Union was only more than 100 million, and how could there be so many troops fortified everywhere.
On the map of China, which is more than 20 kilometers away from the city of Khabarovsk, on this "chicken mouth" with a protruding front, no one with a little military knowledge will choose to attack the Soviet Union here. Because the 35th Army of the Far Eastern Military District, which is stationed under the "chicken mouth", can cut off this "chicken mouth" at any time. Thus cutting off the back road of the [***] team.
But this time the Soviets were really wrong. Deng Feng is the kind of "person who has no military common sense", and before the attack, there was a 122-mm self-propelled rocket artillery regiment and a machine infantry regiment of the 1st Division of the 16th Army of the Shenyang Military Region lurking in the forest on the tip of this "chicken mouth."
Moreover, a regiment of the Heilongjiang Production and Construction Corps and a militia regiment of the Red Frontier were deployed along the 210 Provincial Highway, totaling more than 30,000 people.
The reason why Deng Feng dared to do this was that after the war started, there was no restriction on the border line, and all roads led to Rome, and there was no problem of cutting off the back road at all. For the 35th Army of the Far Eastern Military District of the USSR, naturally, there was a way to deal with it.
The 1st Far Eastern Guard Division of the Khabarovsk City Garrison, with only light infantry weapons and a few light armored vehicles, went to the Bechkha region on the east bank of the Ussuri River, 20 kilometers from the city of Khabarovsk; The peninsula formed by the confluence of the Vladimiroka region and the Heilongjiang and Ussuri rivers went up to "block the attack of the [***] team."
After receiving the order, Buyinevich, the commander of the 76th Regiment stationed in the central city of Khabarovsk, left one squad in each company to stay behind, and all the rest got on trucks with tarpaulins and the only 30 or so light armored vehicles in the whole regiment, and rushed to the peninsula formed by the confluence of the Heilongjiang and Ussuri rivers, and went to block the attack launched by the [***] team from the "tip of the chicken's mouth" to the Soviet Union.
At about 4 o'clock in the morning of the 11th, the 76th Regiment of the Soviet Army, under the leadership of regiment commander Buyinevich, went to the peninsula in an all-round way, and according to the arrangement of the military region, this regiment was deployed between the Heilongjiang River and the Ussuri River, two kilometers away from the Sino-Soviet border line, and the width of the defensive front was 5 kilometers, the 74th Guard Regiment was on the south side of the Ussuri River, and the 75th Guard Regiment was on the north side of the Heilongjiang River.
But when he arrived at his own defensive area, Lieutenant Colonel Buyinevich was a little stupid, and secretly scolded in his heart: "What the hell do the leaders of the military region think, how to defend against this horse and snow." This frozen ground is harder than rock, and even the simplest individual bunker fortifications cannot be built, how can it be defended. These more than 3,000 people, lying on this flat land without the slightest support, aren't they looking for death?
Lieutenant Colonel Buyinewicz's heartfelt remarks were immediately echoed by the Chinese side.
Countless rockets with long tails tore through the pre-dawn darkness, drawing countless dazzling orange-red colored stripes in the dark night sky, rubbing against the cold air, making a "whoosh" whistling sound, flying out of the woods on the Chinese border.
One shot followed another, like a storm, a violent explosion occurred in the crowd of Soviet troops and between the convoys, deafening, the sky collapsed, steel balls flew everywhere, the wreckage and broken parts of the vehicle, the rock-solid frozen soil mixed with the mutilated limbs of the human body, broken weapons, with the sound of explosions, up and down kept moving, in less than 20 seconds, nearly 4,000 shells smashed on the heads of the three regiments of the 1st Far East Guard Division of the Khabarovsk garrison.
The silvery white earth, which had been covered with snow just a moment ago, had become a filthy palette in the blink of an eye. In the charred black earth, thick smoke and fire were everywhere, and under the light of the fire, piles of mutilated corpses lay on top of each other, and broken weapons and equipment and frozen soil clods of various sizes were scattered everywhere.
Lieutenant Colonel Bujnevich really regretted that he said this sentence in his heart that he should not have said, this was not looking for his own death, this was the leadership arranging for himself and these fighters to be sent to death. I must ask them for an explanation after I go back to this matter, there is no such arrangement of work!
But he didn't have a chance to talk to the leader again. Several 5mm steel balls were shot into his body in a very unfriendly manner, and one of the most uninteresting was the most unpleasant, burrowing through his right eye and through his brain stem, destroying the vital respiratory reflex center in his medullary reticulum memory, causing him to stop breathing.
"Attack!" Tanks painted in camouflage rushed out one after another. Immediately after, armored vehicles, command vehicles, jeeps, and military trucks also rushed out one by one.
"Don't laugh at our 16th Army, we are not a group army, and the equipment is not so good, but we are not ambiguous when it comes to fighting!" This is what the commander of the 1st Division of the 16th Army said to the war correspondent of the People's Liberation Army Daily when he fully occupied the city of Boli.
The 1st Infantry Regiment of the 1st Division of the 16th Army, all descending from the mountain like a tiger, followed closely behind the tanks, crossed the piles of flames through the smoke of gunpowder, and quickly assaulted the Soviet army......
