The third more

"The motorized infantry battalion, as the vanguard, has entered South Ossetia, and it seems that our plans are being carried out perfectly, and having lost the air strike force, the current Georgian army is like a fly without a head. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Troshev read out the contents of the paper word by word, he took the report from the front, and was very satisfied with the speed of the attack of the 58th Army, but the progress of the encirclement of Tskhinvali was not as expected, and he hoped to fire the first shot of the offensive in the next two hours.

Standing in front of Troshev were Deputy Commander Shamanov, and Chief of Staff and Political Commissar Kolabelnikov, three people who were supposed to shine in the Second Chechen War were transferred by Yanayev to the Joint Strategic Command in the South to take charge of the Caucasus.

Pointing to the cities of Tskhinvali and Tbilisi on the map, Shamanov drew a line with a red pen between Tbilisi and Tskhinvali and Shamanov explained, "Now that South Ossetia has completely fallen, Tskhinvali has become a forward buffer zone for the Georgian army." Our troops should attack Tskhinvali from two different directions, in order to pinch the offensive and smash the enemy's positions, not to mention that the Georgian rebels would never have expected that we had changed the way of warfare. According to intelligence, they also intend to use SAM missiles to fend off our attack. Little did they know that we had laser-guided shells ready to attack them. ”

Then the current Soviet army almost used guided missiles as the vanguard of the offensive, clearing out air defense positions and artillery positions, and then marching under the cover of air support. According to Troshev, who will accompany you in the prelude to carpet bombing and rocket scrubbing these days. The new Soviet army has begun to pursue efficient precision strikes.

Times have changed, and those who cling to the old ways of fighting will eventually be eliminated. In recent years, Yanayev has acquiesced in the purge of Marshal Ogarkov in the army, not without reason, he wants to get rid of anyone who refuses to change his mind. In this regard, Yanayev's means are more Stalin than Stalin.

"This will be the first battle to make the Soviet army famous, and then the whole world will see that the Soviet army will not be inferior to the American army in a way that is not inferior to the American army." Troshev clenched his fists, the 1991 Gulf War had too much impact on the whole world, and when other countries realized that the war could still be waged in this way, Yanayev had already begun to prepare for the reform of the Soviet army in all aspects.

Shamanov suddenly remembered the meaningful words that Ogarkov had said to him before receiving the combat instructions.

"Let's treat this civil war as another version of the August 1 military exercise."

――――――

BMP infantry combat vehicles began to fortify on both sides of the Zach road, pulling up a cordon. Guarantees were provided for the entry of follow-up troops into South Ossetia. T72 tanks and BMP infantry tanks lined up in a long line of steel are on alert along the line, and the final preparations are underway before the attack. Mi-24 and Mi-28 helicopters hovered in the air to provide fire cover for the attacking ground forces, and the wind from the propellers blew through the lush green weeds.

The scrapped tanks that burned into iron sheets have been cleaned up, and the vanguard has cleared the road from the Locksky tunnel directly to Tskhinvali in the shortest possible time, and then the two motorized infantry regiments of the 19th Division of the 58th Soviet Army, 429 and 503, will attack and encircle Tskhinvali from two directions, cutting off the connection between Tskhinvali and Tbilisi.

The 56th Army continued to pass through the Roksky tunnel, and Colonel Manilov, who commanded the 503rd Motorized Infantry Regiment, was making final preparations, and soon they would have a terrible war of encirclement and annihilation, of course, it was not the Soviet army, but the Georgian rebels. It can be said that the civil war was fought purely for the purpose of testing the new tactics of the Soviet army.

The commander of the reconnaissance company of the 503rd Motorized Infantry Regiment, Gantamirov, received the latest instructions from Colonel Manilov, and wearing white camouflage was to carry out precision strikes against command posts, anti-aircraft weapons, fortifications, anti-tank weapons, fire weapons and living forces on the defensive positions of the Tskhinvali rebels. This is also the first time that the Soviet army has used high-tech means to combat the opponent's operations, and after receiving the order, the commander of the reconnaissance company, Captain Gantamirov, will lead a team of soldiers to direct missiles against the Georgian rebel positions in Tskhinvali.

Captain Gantamirov, dressed in white camouflage uniform, quietly approached the anti-aircraft missile positions of Tskhinvali, which were deployed in the southeastern part of Tskhinvali, and Gantamirov had to direct laser-guided artillery shells to destroy them before the air force could cover the ground forces for a strike.

He set up a laser guide in the grass, and the Kalashnikov rifle was quietly placed aside, and through the laser-guided scope, he could see the soldiers in the position with SAM missiles on their feet. Gantamirov lay motionless in the grass, waiting for the shells to fall on the heads of the soldiers.

At the same time, Tskhinvali's defensive positions and armored battalions are also guided by the invisible lasers of the scouts, and as the scouts who have infiltrated Tskhinvali, their main task is to solve all the problems for the follow-up troops.

This time in the civil war, there is also the latest equipment of the Russian army 2S35 self-propelled guns. The 58th Army was the first to possess the bombing weapon, which had been kept secret until it was put on the battlefield, and Tskhinvali would be the first battlefield of their service to test the power of the self-propelled guns.

Colonel Manilov received a reply from Gantamirov, who told the colonel that everything was ready, just wait for the long-range artillery fire.

Manilov put down the radio and said to the commander of the artillery position, "The bombardment begins." ”

The 2S35 self-propelled guns, which were deployed in a single line on the plain, were aimed at their respective targets, and Manilov was to carry out the same baptism of fire on different positions of the Georgian army at the same time.

"Launch."

With the commander's order, the self-propelled guns with a certain arc adjusted made a deafening sound, and a cloud of flame mixed with smoke appeared at the mouth of the barrel, and even the pebbles at Colonel Manilov's feet shook slightly when the cannonballs were fired in a volley.

And the 2K25 Red Earth laser-guided artillery shells that flew out will deal a devastating blow to the Georgian rebels in Tskhinvali under the guidance of the reconnaissance force.

The rebels in Georgia did not yet know that they were in danger of being attacked. (To be continued.) )
