Chapter 720: Ula!
The Soviet air bases in the cities of Dnepropetrovsk, Donetsk, Kiev, Kirovgrad, Poltava, Sumy, Kharkov belonged to the 17th Red Banner Air Army. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoUkraine is second only to Russia itself in importance to the USSR itself, the Red Banner Kiev Military District is armed with seventy Tu-95 strategic bombers, which are themselves intended for Turkey, and the Red Banner Kiev Military District is not in the plans for this attack on Turkey. But the air force to which it belonged, still joined the war. As of this year, all military districts of the Soviet Union have been awarded the Order of the Red Banner, and all military districts have added the Red Banner as a prefix to their names.
In the major airports, the eye-catching propellers on the huge Tu-95 strategic bombers have been activated, and the loud sound of the propellers provides surging power for the huge bombers, driving the strategic bombers to taxi on the runway until they take off and rush into the blue sky. At this time, Turkey's navy and air force had already been completely wiped out, all major radar stations had been destroyed, and with the escort of the aviation division, 70 Tu-95 strategic bombers carrying 1,500 tons of bombshells flew over the Black Sea and quickly approached Constantinople.
Admiral Ivanov received repeated assurances from Serov that the Tu-95 strategic bombers that had set off did not carry nuclear bombs, and then ordered the soldiers of the southern cluster who had rushed into the city of Constantinople to retreat, in fact, the Tu-95 did not move, Admiral Ivanov also believed that as long as he gave himself a few more hours and suffered more casualties, he could conquer the city, but Serov thought more about the time, who knows what NATO is moving now, even if it is a minute earlier to capture Constantinople, It is also possible to use a powerful fait accompli to force NATO to admit it.
In fact, there is no need for Admiral Ivanov to say more, Serov had already contacted the Kiev Military District long before he confirmed it, and he is not a war maniac, in case any ground crew drinks and forgets to unload the nuclear bomb, then this joke will be big. The world will soon enter the Fallout plot.
"The Tu-95 bomber formation under the 17th Air Force Group of the Red Banner was confirmed to have reached the skies over Constantinople with good visibility, and it was a good day for bombing missions." A Tu-95 strategic bomber airfield reported to the ground command center in Bulgaria that "Constantinople seems to be calm and no danger is detected." ”
"All the defensive positions have been destroyed, and there is absolutely no threat unless the Turkish soldiers hit you with rifles." It didn't take long for the ground command center to confirm the news of safety.
"That's good, the clean-up of the comrades of the aviation division is complete. The flight altitude is 7,500 meters, and in order to avoid accidental injury, we are preparing to drop bombs at an altitude of 5,000 meters. The bombs we brought with us were very powerful. "Before the bombing began, the Tu-95 strategic bomber formation made a rare joke.
"As long as it's not a nuclear bomb, there's no problem, pay attention to safety, comrades." The ground command center cautioned.
"Attention to all aircraft, fly at an altitude of 5,500 meters, drop bombs." Colonel Loskov calmly commanded with a walkie-talkie.
"Understood, bomb dropping begins." Bombshells were dropped from the Tu-95 strategic bombers, and it was only by this time that Serov was sure that he had misunderstood the Soviet ground crews that there were really no nuclear bombs on them.
The soldiers of the Soviet Southern Cluster and the Airborne Army, who were evacuated to safety, could feel the shaking of the earth from a long distance. In their hearts, they hoped that the air force brothers would definitely aim at something, they didn't want the biggest loss in this battle of Constantinople to come from their own country, if so, then it was a sacrifice for the country or a pure unlucky egg.
Serov, who was like a dead dog, finally found the command of Admiral Ivanov and picked peaches before Constantinople was conquered, once the Tu-95 strategic bomber went out to bomb, Serov, the name of the butcher, could not run, and this title of Admiral Ivanov, a commander of an army group, could not bear it, and could only be carried by him. He didn't know how many people died in this wave of bombing of Constantinople, but no matter how many people died, the outside world could only have an estimate that he was ready to destroy the corpses.
"The Hellenic Wehrmacht has already made an offer to us to attack Constantinople with us, I didn't agree, we can do it ourselves, it's up to you now." Serov, who was in a hurry, said to Admiral Ivanov, "Order, Comrade Admiral, Constantinople is right in front of your eyes." ”
Looking at Constantinople, which looked like a dead city not far away, Admiral Ivanov took a deep breath and ordered, "Now I follow the order of General Serov, the commander of the Southern Theater of Operations, and order the soldiers belonging to the Southern Cluster to carry out a general attack on Constantinople. Goal, Constantinople, offensive ......"
At the sound of an order, 100,000 Soviet soldiers launched a general offensive from the eastern and western fronts, and the operation went very smoothly. The Soviet airborne assault detachment was able to successfully land without much effort under the cover of Mi-24 helicopter gunships. The second step of the operation was not much hindered, and the 21st Tank Regiment attacked in a textbook-perfect formation, encountering almost no resistance along the way, except for two unlucky and lunched BRDM armored reconnaissance vehicles and some burned-out wreckage. It seems that the Turkish soldiers had withdrawn into the city of Constantinople while the Soviets were preparing for artillery fire, and this was playing into the hands of the Soviet forces.
The centripetal assault against Constantinople was being carried out with the support of powerful artillery fire. The Soviets were in no hurry, heavy self-propelled mortars and fighter-bombers dropped bombs over Constantinople continuously, and with the help of observation helicopter corrections, this heavy mortar battery fired 500 shells into Constantinople, destroying all the remaining main buildings and inflicting heavy casualties on the densely deployed Turkish soldiers. The morale of the Turkish army fell to the bottom.
The first to appear was a platoon of T-55 tanks, part of the tank unit in which the Soviet army still maintained a battle formation. They did not turn on their infrared headlights or white searchlights, and the battalion was asked to shoot at a distance of 1,200 meters when the Turkish stronghold was discovered, so the Soviet soldiers remained still. The Turks were in disarray, did not send flankers, and looked completely out of order. After the T-55 entered the required firing range, a brief command was transmitted on the radio: 'Fire!' Fire! ’
This is a microcosm of the entire battlefield, and this time when the Soviet tank groups advanced again, it was clear that there was much less resistance. Feedback from the battlefields everywhere unmistakably confirmed this, at least he had seen the Soviet soldiers escorting the Turkish prisoners back, but unfortunately things were rushed, the Soviet army did not have time to build prisoner of war camps, it didn't matter, he could bother the Greek Wehrmacht to help take care of it temporarily.
"We don't have to do the expulsion, we KGB do it ourselves, of course, I only have a Cheka division in my hands, and I have just reached the Romanian border, which is still far from here, and then I will let the Greek Defense Forces be the main force to drive out, and now I am waiting for the news of complete victory to report to the Kremlin." Serov said lightly, "All we want is such a city, and as for the eastern battlefield, it is just a bargaining chip with NATO." ”
In any case, after this war, Turkey will not become a threat to the Soviet Union, and it is unknown how much use Turkey will have for the United States. Even having lost part of the territory of Europe, it is debatable whether the United States will allow Turkey to remain in NATO.
100,000 Soviet troops along the way very smoothly cleaned up the Turkish soldiers who were still resisting, as well as one by one Turkish soldiers who came out to surrender with white flags, the regular army rarely committed suicide attacks, but the Soviet soldiers still did not dare to slack off, the urban warfare manual issued by the KGB taught them how to deal with it, and soon these stripped soldiers will be transported to the rear.
At four o'clock in the afternoon Constantinople time, the Soviet flag was planted at the Constantinople City Hall and the Sophia Cathedral. Skirmishes continued in some areas, but Serov had arrived in tanks and the Turkish soldiers around Sophia's Cathedral had been cleared and were now safe.
The General Political Commissar in military boots got out of the tank and carefully stepped on the ground, the world's largest Orthodox cathedral was lucky and was not destroyed by the indiscriminate attacks of the Soviet Union, or did some commander know this church and deliberately protect it?
"Pick me up in Moscow!" Let the assistant of the 7th Main Directorate prepare for a while, Serov, who was holding the phone, waited patiently, and it was not easy to contact the Kremlin directly from the battlefield, even in the USSR in the seventies. He has this time, and he has this patience.
"NATO's forces are being assembled, but there has not yet been an offensive posture, the Western cluster is already preparing for a possible attack, and once the threat is confirmed, the Western cluster will first take the offensive to let the war start in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, and drive NATO into the sea according to the earlier battle plan." Defense Minister Marshal Grechko said solemnly.
Well! Brezhnev absentmindedly agreed, he had just received a not-so-rosy news, the US Navy was still assembled in the world's waters, carrying the US mainland Marines and Army to the sea, which did not need to be thought about to know that it was aimed at the Soviet Union. At this moment, the red phone on the desk rang, and Brezhnev picked up the phone, "I'm Brezhnev, please say ......"
"At half past four in the afternoon Constantinople time, our army has completely occupied Constantinople, and now, listen to the cheers of the Red Army soldiers under the Cathedral of Sophia." Serov's unhurried voice came, and a deafening cheer on the phone was heard, "Ula ......" (to be continued. )
