Chapter 1595 Smoke is billowing out

In the town of Kabuchi, north of Tashkent, on the south bank of the Yangiyur River, Sun Desheng, commander of the Eighth Army, stood in front of the window of a two-story house north of the town, holding a telescope and watching the situation across the river. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Major General Li Li, commander of the 22nd Motor Infantry Division, said:

"Because this is an area bordering the desert and the steppe, the terrain is flat, and the Soviet army can cross the river at any point on the river more than 200 kilometers long at any time. After a week of rebuilding, we've built the entire town into a strong fortress where we can kill as many enemies as possible. ”

Sun Desheng put down the binoculars, turned his head and said: "The Soviet army still has concerns about going south, and set up a long snake formation, the head of the snake reaches the Yangjiyur River, and the tail still falls on Ares. According to the intelligence fed back by the Air Force, the enemy's forward is at best three divisions, and the enemy will definitely take the town of Kabuchi at all costs to open a passage for the large force to move south. ”

Major General Wang Qihua, chief of staff of the group army, pointed in the direction of the bridge and said with a smile:

"This railway bridge is well kept! It is a stroke of genius that you have excavated all the five kilometers of railway tracks and roadbed north of the bridge, but you have left such a bridge. People have a habit of thinking, and with a ready-made bridge over the river, the Soviet army will not think of building a pontoon bridge, at least not much before hitting a wall, and the troops will continue to drive in the direction of the railway bridge. And because we dug up the railway, the Soviets could not use the train to quickly rush across the railway bridge for a surprise attack, but could only use tanks, armored vehicles and infantry to assault and fight us with refueling tactics, which is our strong point! ”

"The task of our army group is to wound and cripple the Soviet troops, to make them think that Commander Ye's troops are in Tashkent, to induce their main forces to speed south, to seek a decisive battle with us, and to transfer the enemy away from the Ares and Shymkent areas. Now it's up to you to get your first shot! ”

Li Li solemnly saluted: "Army commander, chief of staff, you just relax!" This time, the group army deployed the artillery brigade directly under our defense line to the rear of our defensive line, and with the help of two air regiments stationed in Tashkent, we were fighting a completely asymmetrical war with the other side, and as long as they did not send more than 10 divisions to surround us in one go, we were confident that the battle would continue. ”

Shortly after Sun Desheng and Wang Qihua left, Li Li had just returned to the underground headquarters two kilometers behind the village, when the air force sent an urgent report that a division of the Soviet army was rushing south from the town of Gerga, five kilometers north of the Yangjiyur River, toward the railway bridge. Between Tashkent and Ares of the Air Force, two high-altitude airships were arranged, equipped with high-powered telescopes, and the radar was fully turned on to monitor every move of the Soviet army, so the Soviet army only set off here.

On the north bank of the Yangiyur River, the red flag is displayed.

The marching procession, which could not see the end at a glance, continued to advance towards the iron bridge, and the middle and senior commanders of the Soviet army rode horses, surrounded by guards who also rode horses, stopping from time to time to beckon the troops to advance.

"Buzz-"

Suddenly, the sound of a dense swarm of bees sounded in my ears, and while all the Soviet officers and men were looking around blankly, the sky to the south of the group appeared -- two flying squadrons of the Anjia Air Force, mainly B1 mosquito bombers, were coming towards the Soviet marching procession.

Since the flight altitude of the fighter plane was only one or two hundred meters, the people on the ground could not only see the flying fox logo under the silver-white wings, but also the appearance of the pilot in the cockpit clearly.

The sudden appearance of the group of planes plunged the Soviet troops into a huge panic, and the neat queue was in a riot in an instant, some people lay on the ground to avoid bombs, some raised their guns and blindly shot into the sky, and some people ran to places with fewer people pulling their legs, and the plane fell to the ground the moment it arrived.

Stimulated by this scene, the war horses under the crotches of those Soviet officers also lost control and jumped wildly.

The Soviet soldiers lying on the ground are relatively smart, and those who fall to the ground after running away are wise, and the heroic soldiers are not so lucky.

Major Qin Ke, the leader of the 7th Flight Squadron, who was in charge of the combat command mission, resolutely issued an order to fight separately, and the B1 Mosquito bombers of the Anjia Army Air Force began to strike at Soviet targets in this area. The B1 Mosquito bomber flew horizontally, and when it swept over the heads of the Soviet troops, it dropped a string of 50 to 100 kilogram aerial bombs under its buttocks, and the huge shock wave generated by the explosion and countless shrapnel that spun at high speed and flew in all directions swallowed the lives of hundreds of Soviet officers and soldiers in an instant, and the earth, broken yellow cloth strips, and gun parts fell one after another.

When the smoke cleared, all that was left was a large blackened crater on the ground, a disgusting human limb and intestines, and fragments of red flags scattered everywhere.

On the flat wilderness, with nowhere to hide except for an unknown small village, the Soviet soldiers scattered in panic, looking for a place where no one was running. Everyone has a fluke mentality in their hearts -- the other party's fighter plane can't drop expensive aerial bombs for me, right?

This instinct was undoubtedly very correct, and seeing that it was very laborious to chase down scattered people in the wilderness, the bombing target of the Anjia Army Air Force turned to the only small village nearby. One after another, the roaring B1 bombers fired wildly at the Soviet officers and soldiers on the ground with guns and blank faces, and the aviation machine gun bullets shattered the lives one by one.

Those small wooden and stone houses, in front of the bombs dropped by the B1 bombers, looked extremely vulnerable, and the Soviet soldiers standing on the road of the village also fell into pools of blood in the explosion. The B1 bombers of the two squadrons almost destroyed the village, and even the only three-story brick and concrete building in the village, which was used as a place for railway workers to work and rest, collapsed after eating three bombs, and the Soviet officers and soldiers who had not had time to withdraw were killed and wounded in an instant.

The Soviet troops hiding in the village, like hornets that have blown up their nests, desperately ran outside, but they appeared in groups in the wilderness, but they became good targets for the aviation machine guns in the nose of the B1 bomber.

It was not until the bombing and strafing of the Anjia Air Force came to an end that the Soviet officers and men woke up from a dream and began to organize anti-aircraft defense in some places, and light and heavy machine guns were erected on some objects protruding from the ground, in an attempt to force these bombers to stop firing at low altitudes so wantonly and recklessly.

However, the pilots of the Anjia Army Air Force have long been experienced in a hundred battles, and the strings of machine gun bullets rising from the ground are their forte, and strafing those exposed ground machine gun fire points are commonplace for pilots with rich combat experience, and the improved mosquito bomber cockpit position is installed with alloy steel plates, although it once affected the speed and bomb load of the fighter, but it is a good guarantee for the lives of the pilots, and with the emergence of high-horsepower aircraft engines, Instead of decreasing, the speed and bomb load increased.

Under the command of more than a dozen Soviet soldiers and a regimental political commissar, five Tomakav and Deggarev machine gun racks were piled up into more than 20 empty ammunition boxes.

"Shoot at that plane! Yes, that's it! ”

The political commissar pointed to a B1 bomber not far away that was passing by low-altitude bombs, and shouted loudly, and the soldiers hurriedly turned their guns to the bomber, and when the two bombs fell from the bomber to the ground, the earth could be felt violently shaking even from a hundred meters away.

The hands of the five main gunners were all affected by the explosion and shook in unison, with the result that a large number of bullets were far away from the target, and by the time they tried to chase and aim, the target had quickly pulled up and could no longer hit.

"Aim and hit again next time! It's coming, over there! Over there! ”

The commissar looked very dissatisfied, and the soldiers hurriedly turned their guns in the other direction, where a B1 bomber was flying at a low altitude towards this temporary machine gun position, and at this time, almost all the Soviet officers and soldiers could see the grim faces of the Anjia military pilots in the cockpit, and the red tongues of fire from the aviation machine guns on the front of the aircraft.

A few seconds later, An Jiajun's fighter plane pulled up the nose and flew away, leaving only five lone machine guns and the corpses of a dozen warriors on the ground.

The bombing of the Anjia Army Air Force lasted only eight minutes, and then disappeared into the southern sky, and the land returned to calm, but the charred black craters on the ground, the corpses of Soviet officers and soldiers, and the damaged and collapsed houses were all evidence that the Anjia Army fighters had come.

The Soviet troops, who were attacked head-on, were full of resilience, and after being summoned by military commanders and political cadres at all levels, they quickly lined up their ranks and marched to the railway bridge again.

A quarter of an hour later, more than 300 meters north of the railway bridge.

"Everyone, keep up! You're almost there! ”

A Soviet captain battalion commander in front of him shouted to his soldiers. Running a few kilometers on a hot summer day is no fun thing, and everyone is gasping for breath and drenched in sweat.

These charging Soviets sparkled the Mosin Nagant rifle diagonally on the chest and the bayonet on the front of the rifle in the scorching sun.

Suddenly, the captain of the battalion noticed a large black round thing silently rising from the town across the bridge, which rose higher and higher, and its trajectory was very different from that of ordinary shells and bullets, and soon it plunged headlong into the crowd and exploded.

The sudden and intensive mortar shell attack did not cause the Soviet army to fall into a large-scale panic, and after experiencing the bombardment of aircraft, the current mortar attack appeared much gentler. Seeing his companions fall one by one, a large number of Soviet soldiers instead accelerated the pace of their advance.

The frequency of mortar fire was much faster than that of ordinary artillery, and they exploded again and again on the road of the Soviet army's advance, and the flying shrapnel killed and injured Soviet officers and soldiers in a large area, and the Soviet army's advance queue gradually appeared one by one.

When the first wave of Soviet troops rushed into the range of the general machine guns and rifles of the Anjia Army on the north bank of the railway bridge, the oncoming dense bullets made everyone feel helpless, and the Soviet soldiers who were shot in the chest or in the head, due to inertia, fell to the ground on their backs, opened their hands, and couldn't help but throw out the weapons in their hands, and the whole person fell down head-on, and passed away.

"Keep going!"

The captain of the Soviet army had just taken the next step, and an oncoming bullet quietly drilled into his body, and the moment he leaned back, his big red star cap flew out, his brown hair was tightly pressed against his scalp due to sweat, and his eyes looked at the blue sky in distraction.

When he knelt on the hot ground, the battalion commander suddenly felt that the ground was so soft, like a comfortable bed, and he wanted this big bed to sleep forever.
