Chapter 230: Attack on the Eastern Front

The bullet is loaded, the knife is unsheathed, the hatred of anger burns in the chest, the muzzle of the gun is aimed at the Russian robbers, the blood debt is repaid, and the mountains and rivers of the motherland are never allowed to be touched by foreign races.

In the quiet deep mountains and old forests to the east and north of the right bank of the Heilongjiang River in Heihe County, groups of PLA soldiers are like death-defying athletes, with new hatred and old hatred for the Russians. Lurking in the woods, these soldiers who were about to go out to kill the enemy had high morale and were determined to "shed blood and sacrifice fearlessly, and serve the motherland Sanchunhui". In the harsh winter of more than minus 30 degrees, a thick layer of frost hung on the cotton hat of sheep shearling without edges, a winter camouflage cold-proof hood with only two murderous blood-red eyes and pursed lips on the shaved bald head, high-elastic warm tactical gloves on the hands, thick woolen warm socks on the feet, semi-high-waisted combat boots wrapped the tight cotton trousers inside, one of the three treasures of the Northeast naturally hot "Ula grass" in the combat boots, wearing high-waisted tight-legged cotton pants on the lower body, and winter camouflage military pants on the jacket. He wears a one-piece thermal underwear underneath and a half-camouflage cotton coat with a white camouflage cloak on the outside, blending in with the snow around him. This set of cold-proof clothing was developed by the Military Uniform Research Institute of the General Logistics Department for nearly two years. This set of cold-proof equipment can hide in the ice and snow for 6 hours in temperatures of minus 36 degrees Celsius, and still maintain the fighters' sufficient combat effectiveness. In addition, according to the characteristics of winter operations in Northeast China, these fighters summed up a set of anti-freezing methods, and turned this set of experience into a smooth mouth: "Wear a hood, a hat on your face, a padded jacket on your trouser belt, copy your hands in your arms, don't be lazy on duty at night, and don't sleep when you're sleepy." "The other phrase is easy to understand, such as 'the trouser belt is tied to the padded jacket", which is to tie the padded jacket inside the high-waisted cotton pants to prevent the snow from entering the outer coat when crawling forward. At this time, they put their hands in the cuffs of their coats, holding weapons in their arms, they were waiting, waiting to conquer the most ferocious enemy of the Chinese nation, and recover the great rivers and mountains that China had been seized by this gang of robbers.

On the left bank of the Heilongjiang River, in the area of No. 96 on the Sino-Soviet border, on the watchtower of a technical observation post of the 44th Regiment of the Main Directorate of the Border Guards of the KGB of the USSR. Corporal Ivan Strelini, rising from the stool on the watchtower, stretched, yawned long, rubbed his dry eyes, walked over to the long high-powered telescope, looked at the right bank in the direction of China, and in the moonlight the woods opposite showed a dark and hazy silhouette, and there was silence all around, and the snow covered the ice of the wide Amur River, and there was not even a rabbit foraging around, nothing unusual. The air was dry and cold, and he shivered. "Fuck, it's so cold!" He cursed in his heart. He took out a bottle of inferior vodka from his bosom, unscrewed the lid with his frozen fingers, took a big sip with his neck tilted, and then put the bottle back on the lid and carefully carried it into his arms. He stamped his frozen feet, shrunk his neck into the collar of his rough tweed coat, and sat back on the stool. He looked at the alarm watch on the table, it was almost half past two, and it would be time to change the guard in another half an hour. He rested his head on the plank behind the watchtower, shrinking himself into a ball, trying to minimize the amount of heat dissipation on his body. He thought of the warm bed, and his head felt dazed

"Boom, boom," a series of inaudible deafening cannon sounds woke up the stunned Corporal Ivan Strelini. He opened his eyes in horror, only to see from behind the trees on the Chinese side of the Amur River, a volley of ballistic light piercing the icy night sky. He stood up and tried to run down the watchtower, but his two trembling legs just wouldn't listen. "Damn, why is it that your legs are not good at this critical time? With a strong wave of air, Corporal Ivan Srelini was thrown high into the sky along with the fragments of the watchtower, and the last glimpse he saw in the air was a familiar and unfamiliar object that was flying upwards like himself, only 2 or 3 meters away from him in the firelight, as if it were the lower half of the human body; His last thought was, "It can't be my disobedient legs, right?" ”

At 2:30 on February 11, the Eastern Theater and the entire thousands of kilometers of Sino-Soviet border erupted like a volcano, boiling! The artillery preparation of the 2nd Army of the Shenyang Military District of the Chinese People's Liberation Army on Soviet military targets on the left bank of the Heilongjiang River began. The artillery preparation of the 2nd Army was divided into three echelons: the first echelon, in which the tactical missile battalion of the group army and the "Thunder"-300 mm wheeled rocket artillery regiment carried out saturation bombing of Soviet strategic targets within 150 kilometers of their own theater of operations; The second echelon is composed of artillery regiments belonging to the artillery divisions of the group army, 152-mm cannons of the cannon regiment, 135-mm howitzers of the howitzer regiment, 122-mm "Tempest" 40-barrel rocket launchers of the rocket artillery regiment, and various artillery pieces of the artillery regiments of each division. The third echelon consisted of regimental artillery. The regiments carried out sabotage bombardment of the forward fortifications of the Soviet army in their own offensive areas.

At the same time, more than 50,000 rounds of large-caliber artillery shells were poured into the first batch of 511 strategic and tactical targets of the Soviet army within 50 minutes, and the artillery preparations were carried out suddenly, accurately, intensively, and violently, so that the Soviet army's forward and in-depth positions, barracks, army, division, regiment, and battalion-level command posts, armories, airfields, radar stations, and other military targets suddenly turned into a sea of smoke and fire.

In the sky, the projectiles dragged the red flames like meteors to the left bank of the Heilongjiang River, especially the rocket artillery, and rows of shells reflected half of the sky for dozens of kilometers.

Short-range missiles and artillery shells of various types covered the main military forces of the Soviet army with dense firepower, and the entire Soviet positions on the left bank of the Heilongjiang River were boiling like a pot of boiling water. The sound of the huge explosion was deafening, and some Soviet officers and soldiers were shocked to the point that their internal organs were ruptured and bleeding.

Waves of air spread out in all directions, throwing into the air the shattered bodies of the Soviet soldiers on duty in the positions and the sleeping Soviet officers and soldiers in the barracks; The flames of the explosion were mixed with shrapnel and a piercing roar, harvesting lives; A raging fire burned in the ruined area of the ruined wall, and from time to time a few voices came out in the sea of fire: "Помогите!" (Help). "Яумираю, прийтинапомощьмне!(I'm going to die, who's going to save me!) Miserable and desolate cries for help.

The ground was littered with the corpses and severed arms of Soviet officers and soldiers; Some of the blown up tanks were spewing smoke and flames, and the overturned tracked armored vehicles were riddled with bullet wounds and cracked walls; The various artillery pieces on the various artillery positions were blown up and twisted, and choking smoke came out of the burning tires

During the artillery preparation of the 2nd Army, 83 tanks, 106 armored vehicles, 428 military vehicles, 286 artillery pieces and mortars were destroyed. At the same time, almost all the headquarters of the 45th Soviet Army and the 44th Regiment, 45th Regiment and 48th Frontier Regiment of the Main Directorate of the KGB Frontier Guards of the USSR were destroyed, and the barracks at the company level were hit to varying degrees, causing more than 7,000 Soviet officers and men to suffer casualties. 4 railway hubs, 3 airports, 1 power station, 16 substations, and 8 radar stations were seriously damaged.

In order to achieve the sudden surname of the offensive launched in the campaign, while the artillery division of the group army and the artillery regiment under the division were preparing for artillery fire, one after another "destroyer" tanks and "assault" wheeled armored vehicles and armored personnel carriers formed a multi-way powerful armored assault group suddenly launched, according to the predetermined plan, quickly passed through the hidden woods, moved to the Heilongjiang River, and after the artillery prepared for artillery fire for 10 minutes, the fortifications of the Soviet defense front were destroyed and attacked. The heroic posture of the 2nd Army's Jin Ge Iron Horse had crossed the dam on the right bank of the Heilongjiang River.

The artillery fire began to extend, and the armored regimental group was about to attack, which was the best time for the engineering detachment to break through the obstacles and open the way.

"Start breaking barriers!" With the order of the engineer company commander.

Several armored vehicles of the engineer blasting project quickly rushed to the opposite bank of the Heilongjiang River to carry out directional blasting on some of the high and convex embankments that affected the landing of tanks in some sections; with a muffled sound, a gap with a slope of 30 degrees and a width of more than 10 meters was blown out on the embankment on the left bank, opening up the way for the armored assault group to advance.

The "destroyer" tanks, which were closely behind the engineer demolition armored vehicles and were responsible for covering the engineer barrier-breaking detachment, charged along the river facing the opposite bank while providing direct fire support to the engineer barrier-breaking detachment on the river to cover the engineer for the blasting.

More armored assault groups, mainly "destroyer" tanks, sailed up the surface of the Heilongjiang River, where the ice was hard and clear, and rushed through the unsupported river with the momentum of overwhelming the mountains and the sea, rushing towards the relatively gentle embankments.

When the artillery preparations were over, there was a roar of motors in the sky, and dozens of "Hunter" helicopter gunships, covering the 2nd Group Army, which had crossed the left bank of the Heilongjiang River, were composed of tanks, armored vehicles, armored personnel carriers, and infantry, engineers, artillery, and other arms to form a multi-way armored battle group to advance into the Soviet Union.

This three-dimensional armored attack group composed of various arms of the armed forces was as powerful as a bamboo, invincible, and they alternated the firepower of various arms to launch a fierce attack on the remnants of the Soviet army that had been ravaged by artillery fire. The positions of the 34th Tank Division, the 35th Motorized Infantry Division, and the 36th Motorized Infantry Division of the 45th Army of the Soviet Far Eastern Military District and the 44th, 45th, and 48th Frontier Regiments of the General Directorate of the Frontier Guards of the KGB of the USSR were divided and torn apart. Then it was quickly swept up to completely smash the Soviet army's defense system in the Heilongjiang River valley.

Interspersed detachments composed of special forces and scouts of the Army Aviation Regiment also went deep into the strategic points of the Soviet army and the towns where the Soviet Union was entrenched, and carried out special operations in coordination with the frontal attack troops. Rebel, kidnap, assassinate, and detect important strategic targets, and use lasers to indicate accurate target locations for the Air Force. If you find it, you can destroy it.
