Chapter 1599 The battle clouds crush the city

The four-engine bomber flew at an altitude of two or three thousand meters, and its buttocks were like fish eggs, and dense bombs fell on the Soviet positions, causing a huge explosion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The horizontal bombers followed the four-engine bombers and swept at a low altitude of six or seven hundred meters, inflicting huge casualties on the Soviet troops, and the Soviet air defense troops operating anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns suffered heavy casualties.

In the end, the dive bombers carried out precision strikes, and the Soviet anti-tank guns, infantry guns, and mortars were soon thrown into the sky by the air waves blown up by the aerial bombs. There were more and more Soviet soldiers killed on the ground, and the defensive position that had just been formed was like a big ant nest.

Concentrating two or three hundred fighters to deal with three divisions in one go was an air attack of high intensity that had never been seen since the beginning of Armageddon, and the practice of concentrating troops to storm a little bit was precisely the essence of blitzkrieg.

At the same time as the air raid began, the tanks continued to advance in depth to the Soviet positions.

A total of 112 tanks and 158 armored vehicles of the armored brigades directly under the Eighth Army and the armored regiments directly under the divisions were concentrated under the attack of a large number of infantry, showing their invincible strength, and the flashes of artillery fire came and went, destroying all the enemies in sight.

The ravaged Soviet 8th Division was the first to collapse, breaking up the positions of the 9th and 10th Divisions, turning into a complete defeat.

The tanks and armored vehicles of the An Jiajun successfully passed through the trenches that had collapsed after the sappers blasted, and the tank guns and machine guns constantly spewed tongues of fire and followed the pursuit.

By nightfall, the three infantry divisions of the Soviet army had finally gained a foothold two kilometers south of the town of Kabuchi with the help of follow-up troops, of which the 8th Division lost two-thirds of the battle, and the 9th and 10th Divisions lost nearly half of the battle. The tank units of the Anjia Army stopped outside the range of Soviet mortars and machine guns, and only turned away slowly after the infantry had finished cleaning the battlefield.

Fearing an ambush by the other side, the Soviet troops did not dare to launch a counteroffensive, and the Soviet front commander immediately asked Kulik for instructions. In order to absolve the culpability, Boris, the commander of the Third Army, in his report to Kulik, claimed that the tanks of the Anjia Army in the field were green and everywhere, and the total number was at least seven or eight hundred. From this, it can be concluded that the tank strategic cluster of the South China Army must have retreated near Tashkent, and Boris spared no effort to tout Kulik's southward strategy wise and decisive.

Kulik did not doubt the information fed back from the front.

In fact, the troops in charge of receiving it also saw the almost endless tide of tanks, and under the echo of the superior fighters in the sky, the momentum was terrifying, which made every Soviet officer and soldier tremble. In addition, the Third Army, which fought in the vanguard, was Kulik's descendant, and from the ordinary regimental battalion commander to the army commander of the group army, Kulik was single-handedly promoted. Kulik, who was quite selfish, would never follow Stalin's example of self-destruction of the Great Wall.

......

The lights are on.

South China, Haiphong Port, Naval Base Canteen.

Lu Guang instructed the kitchen to prepare some Sichuan-style seafood with a focus on spicy flavors, which can be regarded as a reception banquet for An Yi.

In the navy's inventory, there is no guarantee that there is anything else, but there is never a shortage of seafood, not to mention anything else, just shooting at the target ship during training will accidentally injure many fish, and those sea fish that float up with their bellies are usually fished up and sent to the freezer of the military port, and then all kinds of refurbished seafood dishes are studied by the chefs.

"Ziwei, why are you here?"

An Yi was surprised to see Zhou Ziwei sitting next to him, and asked in surprise.

"Brother Xiao Yi, it's really you! I thought I was looking at the wrong person! After Zhou Ziwei saw An Yi, she stretched out her hands and grabbed An Yi's hand tightly, very excited: "You forgot?" I'm a reporter for the 79th Army Daily! I was asked to cover the Navy...... Brother Cheng and I are old acquaintances, and on the island of Weishan Lake, Brother Cheng personally picked us up. These days, Brother Cheng has taken a lot of care of me and responds to my needs! ”

Seeing Zhou Ziwei's youthful and beautiful face, An Yi was in a good mood, and asked with a smile: "The navy is an important department of our secrecy, what can be published in the military newspaper?" ”

Zhou Ziwei's eyebrows fluttered: "It's to introduce our offshore fleet." The Offshore Fleet was formed from the former Poyang Lake Fleet, which is mainly responsible for the defense of our vast coastline. Recently, Britain and the United States and other countries have frequently consulted about the situation of our fleet, and after urgent consultations, the General Staff Headquarters and the General Political Department held that with the espionage capabilities of the United States, Britain, and other countries, perhaps our coastal fleet will find out clearly when it is in Poyang Lake, and what they are seeking is just an attitude on our part! Therefore, instead of covering it up and making people suspicious, it is better to announce it generously and show our sincerity. Anyway, the main force of this fleet is the ships of the former Japanese naval fleet, which can just slap the Japanese in the face. So I was commanded to come! ”

After speaking, Zhou Ziwei realized her gaffe, retracted her hand a little shyly, and looked at An Yi with more flattery.

At the moment when Zhou Ziwei's small hand held An Yi tightly, An Yi's heart fluttered for no reason, feeling the warmth and beauty of the jade hand, and wondering how to remind Xiao Nizi to pay attention to the impact. However, when Zhou Ziwei really pulled her hand back, An Yi felt disappointed, didn't show anything on his face, and said approvingly:

"That's right, in February this year, both the British and Americans opened consulates in Nanchang, and then opened offices in old Nanchang and Xingzi County, which is simply aimed at our navy. However, they did not calculate that there were still French people who were in the snow, and seriously underestimated the strength of our navy.

"The French and political circles have suffered a big loss, and they are unwilling to be laughed at by the powers, and at the same time they are worried that they will be impeached by the government and the opposition after the truth is announced, and the truth about the damage to the navy is kept secret and forced to smile, so the secrets of our navy are still relatively hidden. When you have an interview this time, if you don't have a good grasp of many questions, it's best to ask for your brother's opinion, if he is too busy to take care of it, the main admirals of the navy can help answer them. Whoever has a bad attitude, you tell me, I criticize him! ”

Zhou Ziwei said happily: "Then does this count as getting the Shang Fang Sword?" ”

"You! People are small and big! ”

An Yi couldn't help but laugh, suddenly remembered something after laughing, and solemnly said to Zhou Ziwei: "Ziwei, I haven't thanked you well for the fact that you and Little Hepburn woke up Sister Qing from her slumber!" Originally, I wanted to find you and Hepburn Jr. to see what you have difficult wishes to fulfill and help you achieve them, but unfortunately things are too busy to take care of it. I met here today, tell me, is there anything I need help with? ”

Zhou Ziwei's eyes rolled slightly: "Brother Xiaoyi, my work and life are very smooth now, and I don't have anything to ask for." If I think about it in the future, you can't refuse me! ”

Seeing Zhou Ziwei's mysterious appearance, An Yi said with a smile: "Okay, brother promises you, as long as it is not a matter that will bring disaster to the country and the people, brother will not refuse!" ”

Zhou Ziwei's eyes smiled like a crooked crescent, and then she said as low as a gnat: "Brother Xiao Yi, you are so good......"

An Yi didn't hear Zhou Ziwei's words, because Lin Yaodong on the side had already begun to pull him to fight for wine, and then Cheng Chengguang, Li Weiqing, Yan Kaitai, Zhao Lei and other naval generals also came up to pour wine in turn.

An Yi rarely indulged, and those who came did not refuse, and the glass was dry, and he was extremely heroic. The army is full of upright men, and when they saw An Yi so refreshing, they all sacrificed their lives to accompany the gentleman, as long as An Yi had a drink, he would also accompany him. Shen Fengdao was originally resolute not to drink, but in the end, even An Yi joined the ranks of persuading alcohol, and finally couldn't resist it, and after drinking several bowls of wine, his face actually flew red.

Zhou Ziwei drank the juice and watched a group of iron-blooded men fight for wine, feeling very interesting, and never left. Several admirals and colonels drank high, and even called Mrs. Zhou Ziwei, and then toasted her, but were stopped by An Yi's tiger glare, and then raised the full salute and went back.

Zhou Ziwei saw An Yi defending herself like this, and her heart was sweet, but she later found out that something was wrong, I don't know when, including An Yi, Lin Yaodong and Shen Fengdao, a large table of men drank down, and only a little girl like her, who didn't know anything, kept her head clear.

Zhou Ziwei had no choice but to call the guards of the Central Security Bureau and send the schoolers home one by one, while she followed An Yi to the guest house where An Yi stayed, helped An Yi strip and take a bath, and served him to bed, so that she left happily as if she had completed a sacred mission.

......

At 10 o'clock in the evening of Central Asian time, Kulik convened an emergency military meeting in the town of Gerga, five kilometers north of the Yangiyur River, attended by all the generals and colonels of the Third Army, who were the generals of the defeated army.

"We need more anti-aircraft artillery against the enemy's air force. This time, we have successfully built anti-tank trenches and positions, but due to the lack of anti-aircraft artillery, there is no way to deter the enemy's air force from dive-dropping bombs, and the anti-tank positions quickly fell, and the enemy's tanks plunged straight into our heart like sharp knives, and then the air defense positions and strategic depth were also broken through. I now find that air supremacy is a really good thing! Boris said with emotion.

Kulik did not refute Boris's weaponism and did not emphasize the importance of spiritual strength, but carefully consulted the commanders of the three infantry divisions. The terrible feeling of being controlled by the enemy, both in the sky and on the ground, described by Division Commander Antonio, who was rescued by the Soviet cavalry unit at risk, made everyone in the conference room feel cold and stand on end.

"Comrades generals, don't be discouraged, this is what we expected, and everyone should be happy...... We have been looking for a strategic decisive battle with the enemy's main force, but we have never been able to catch the enemy's tail! Now there is no doubt that the enemy's forces are massed in Tashkent, and if we pounce on them at all costs and entangle them so that they cannot escape, we will be able to eat them in one fell swoop by virtue of our superiority in strength. ”

Kulik stood up and waved his hands to strengthen the tone of his voice: "In field battles, the enemy's tank groups can play an extraordinary role, but in positional and urban warfare, the enemy's superiority will no longer be obvious, and if the offensive is put at night, even the enemy's air force will not be able to exert it. In the end, the war still depends on the infantry to achieve victory, and our troops are almost twice as large as the other side. ”

Seeing the contemplative faces of the generals, Kulik pointed to the watch on his left wrist with his right index finger: "It's now half past ten in the evening, and it is estimated that the South Chinese army that won the encounter in the evening is still celebrating, we can take this opportunity to catch them off guard." Now I order: all units march at full speed to Tashkent, and before sunrise tomorrow we will build a ring of fortifications in front of the enemy positions in Tashkent that can be used for air defense and artillery bombardment. In all positions, we must deploy anti-aircraft positions, hold them during the day and attack them at night, and we must eat away at the enemy's defense line step by step. ”

All the Soviet generals stood up, saluted and left one after another.
