The third more

This battle made the October Battalion and the Correctional Battalion directly the darlings of the war in Cyprus, and even Clerides personally paid tribute to the group of Soviet fighters who had annihilated the elite Turkish troops. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even after a fierce battle, the Punishment Battalion still maintains a high fighting spirit, and the neatly parked T72 tanks try to prove their last glory to others, they will only be crushed on the battlefield, and will definitely not stop in the steel graveyard to rust and grow old.

Defending the faith is the pride of Soviet soldiers.

The capitalists of the free world will never understand what a noble and great ideal it is to liberate the oppressed peoples of the world, and they certainly will not understand the greatness of those who have sacrificed and sacrificed for this ideal. Although they used all means to portray the Soviet Union as an evil totalitarian state, they still could not hide their crimes of exploiting the people. A warrior with shortcomings is a warrior after all, and no matter how noble a fly is, it is not just a fly. Even the capitalists sit at the table, elegantly cutting steaks, praising freedom, human rights and democracy. It doesn't change the fact that your hands smell of blood.

When Eastern Europe is frantically de-Sovietization and de-Europeanization, when the beliefs that were once defended are trampled on, there will always be people who stand up and tell the world that they are still there.

As long as they remain, the Red Republic will not fall.

Clerides walked in the barracks, and for the first time he felt what a real army was. The near-morbid meticulousness made Clerides feel solemn and solemn.

"I finally understood why this force had been sent to Cyprus in the first place. It is said that it is a retired volunteer army, but it is much more terrible than the regular army. It turned out that it was not a legend that the Soviet Union was able to push the steel torrent in Europe back then, and according to the current strength, it would be completely easy to crush the Turkish garrison in the north, as long as the Soviet Union was willing to invest a division of troops here. Thankfully, they are our allies, not our enemies. ”

Clerides breathed a sigh of relief, but Alkasha, who was standing beside him, said with some disdain, "With such strength, the strength of a division is not needed at all to annihilate the Turkish army in Cyprus." Half a division was enough for them to suffer. A division of armored units was able to liberate the whole of Cyprus in a week. ”

Alkasha told Clérides, "We have opened the key point for the Cypriot army to reach Molfo, and then we will meet the Maginot Line, which Turkey is proud of." Of course, the Turkish army did not think about the issue of fighter jets at all when it built this line of defense, because Turkey's main target was not us, but the Cypriot army. In the absence of air supremacy, Turkey does not have to worry about air strikes, which is why it will use such outdated defense methods. ”

In fact, the Maginot Line was not really a fortification made of pillboxes, walls, trenches and barbed wire, but simply a line of defense built with armored forces and set up firing points in certain key areas. Because the terrain southeast of Morfu is a plain area, it is easy to attack and difficult to defend. That's why the Turkish army needs such a seemingly outdated way to cover up its weak defenses.

"So how can we tear through this Maginot Line? Is it still the use of rocket artillery to wash the floor? Clerides stared at the map, believing that the experienced Arkasha knew more about the art of war than the Cypriot army. Especially after seeing how the Soviet army fought.

"No, no, no." Alcasha shook his head and dismissed Clerides' idea, "This line of defense is different from the Fortress of Cullion. His breadth is much wider than we think. This means that the enemy's forces are not so concentrated, and it may not be effective if the artillery fire washes the ground, but it is just a waste of shells. We need a more direct way to disrupt the rhythm of Turkey. In other words, we need the support of the Greek Air Force. ”

"Greek Air Force support? Aren't your fighters good? Clerides asked rhetorically. In fact, the Greek Air Force was not very willing to carry out combat missions over Cyprus at this time. After all, he still needs to get the consent of the British side.

"No, no, no, it's too obvious that we are using Soviet-made fighters. Moscow doesn't really want to get involved in the Cyprus dispute, so we want to use Greek fighter jets to tear through the line with air strikes and create an opportunity for the armored forces to break through the Maginot Line. ”

"Why are you so sure that the Turkish side is not using anti-aircraft weapons?" ”

Alkasha smirked disdainfully, "Because their level of knowledge is still in the 1974 war. They expected that Greece was afraid of the British attitude, so they did not dare to intervene in the dispute on a large scale. But the Soviet Union was different, as long as there was a layer of identity cover, we were just volunteers who helped to liberate the national power in Cyprus. ”

Clerides nodded and said, "We'll try to communicate with President Stefanopoulos and get them to send an air force to support us in retaking Morf." ”

"Please be sure to tell President Stefanopoulos that the ability of the Cypriot army to retake the two important cities depends on the support of the Greek Air Force. If the Maginot Line was resolved, the Correctional and October Battalions would be the vanguard of a wedge into the heavily guarded Morfo, creating a safe battlefield for the two T80 battalions. Then street fighting was carried out to gradually annihilate the resistance of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. ”

After seeing Clerides off, Alcasha sat alone on the tank, smoking a cigarette and watching the slowly setting sun melancholy. When he turned around and saw Gordon standing behind him, he beckoned him to sit down.

Alkasha said slowly, "Maybe in the next few days, we will have a very difficult war. Perhaps no less tragic than Stalingrad, are you all ready? ”

"Huh?" Gordon was taken aback by Alkasha's words, and he replied, "Isn't our offense going well?" Why is there a fierce battle? Moreover, Turkey's strongest elite troops have been beaten and are powerless to fight back, and now the Northern Cyprus regime is already in a panic. ”

"Smooth?" Alkasha dropped the cigarette butt on the ground, turned his head to face Gordon, and the corners of his mouth curled into a mocking arc, he said, "Morfu is different from the town of Callion, it is a densely built city, without the support of rocket artillery and the cover of air fighters, and in the streets and lanes, the weakly armored T72 tank is simply a live target. They can destroy our tanks as long as they use Tao anti-tank missiles. When the time comes, we will only be able to rely on rocket artillery to deliver carpet strikes in the direction of our attack, and as for the effect, I don't think it will be very useful. So what will we do as vanguards? There is only one possibility, heavy losses. But our intelligence shows that the defenders of Morfu are only the militia of Northern Cyprus, which means that as long as they can advance deeper and occupy a third of the city, the remaining militia will not be able to fight back at all, but this third may need blood to fill every step. That's why I would say that this is another version of Stalingrad. ”

Gordon was silent for a moment before he replied, "And what are we going to do then?" Slowing down the pace of the offense? Or realign the strategy? ”

The setting sun reflected the side of Alcasha's face, outlining a sad silhouette.

"No, everything went according to the original plan, the armored forces of the Soviets only advanced, not retreated."

He knew his mission as a soldier, and it was an honor for Alkasha to die on the battlefield, and it was also his final destination.

Alkasha's voice was a little sad, and he said silently, "If I can, I hope to be buried in the cemetery closest to the New Virgin Cemetery when I die, this is the honor I dream of as a soldier." I want to tell my homeland that I have done my best. ”

"I am honored to be able to sacrifice my life for my country." (To be continued.) )
