Chapter 1566 is like a bamboo

At 8 o'clock in the morning of Central Asian time, the general offensive of the combined forces of the Far Eastern Army and the Anjia Army on the Kurandag Mountain officially began. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The moment the order to attack was given, the cannon roared loudly and rumbled through the sky. In the billowing smoke, the Far Eastern Army, as the main force of the attack, fully embodied the principle of Lao Maozi's artillery doctrine, and nearly 1,000 light and heavy artillery pieces were concentrated together and opened fire, hitting the sky with great clarity, thousands of shining ballistics drew a meteor-like trajectory in the sky, and groups of shells roared towards the Soviet positions on the high ground in the mountains.

The cannonballs smashed to the ground, exploding countless pillars of fire, and the air waves swept all kinds of debris in the air, and soon turned into a torrential rain, and the skulls and brains were sprinkled on the ground.

The dozens of kilometers of positions lined up by the Soviet troops along the top of the hill were soon shrouded in smoke and dust.

The group of shells repeatedly poured back between the various trenches arranged by the Soviet army in the mountains, and each round of shells fell to the ground and exploded quickly, and the invisible steel knife-sharp wind set off five or six meters high, just like the astronomical tide, one after another, and the surging earth and stone tide was overwhelming, and it was a grand sight!

Shrapnel, stone clusters, adobe, and grass roots burst out everywhere, forming an airtight curtain wall that swept the entire northern foot of Kurandag Mountain.

"Boom-"

A string of thunderbolts as dense as fried beans and thunder, wave after wave, from far to near, and from near to far, like a hammer, smashed fiercely at the Soviets stationed on the high ground! The Soviet troops, whether they were officers or ordinary soldiers, all of them lying dead in bunkers or mountain trenches, opened their mouths wide and trembled unconsciously, the only difference was that the degree of trembling was different!

In order to prevent the collapse of the troops, the political commissar and the internal affairs commissar personally went to the front line to boost morale, and the supervision team composed of the internal affairs troops was arranged in the anti-artillery bunkers, condescendingly, and the muzzles of the black holes were pointed directly at the front of the position, and any retreat without consent would be mercilessly shot.

If you stay on the ground, there may be a way to live, and if you retreat, you will have to die or live, and you will have to bear a terrible charge! Soviet soldiers, completely with the greatest courage, endure this seemingly never-ending bombardment!

The whole earth trembled, the shells fell densely on the Soviet trenches, and in the fireball of large-caliber grenades, squads of Soviet soldiers flew into the sky screaming like pieces of paper, instantly becoming the most gorgeous fireworks in the world, annihilated in the flying rubble!

Some of the shells landed on some well-constructed fire fortifications and exploded, and the fire flashed, and the entire fortifications flew into the air with people and guns, turning into flesh and blood and parts, which was unbearable to see!

After half an hour of bombardment, the shelling gradually stopped.

As a rule of thumb, after the shelling, there will be an infantry charge. The Soviet soldiers came out of the rubble one after another, and the commanders, political workers, and internal affairs personnel, regardless of the pain on their bodies, urged the soldiers to pull out the guns and ammunition from the rubble pile, and quickly repair the collapsed fortifications and trenches to meet the attack of the infantry of the Far Eastern Army.

At this time, a "buzzing" sound was heard, and the first wave of a hundred B2 bombers, which provided air cover for the attacking forces, under the protection of fifty fighters, reached the sky over the battlefield.

The overwhelming B2 bombers, coming out of the clouds, screamed like birds of prey from hell, and rushed fiercely towards the mountain positions of the Soviet army.

The leading B2 bombers made a terrible roar during the dive, and the large-caliber machine gun bullets "swished" vertically into the communication ditches and trenches, and the Soviet soldiers who were moving towards the front-line trenches screamed and fell in pools of blood one after another.

After firing a string of bullets, the B2 bomber dropped a bomb, then pulled up sharply, shook its wings twice, and immediately rushed into the air.

The bombs that fell in the trenches exploded violently, billowing smoke and dust mixed with dirt rushed into the air, and the flesh and blood of more than a dozen Soviet soldiers disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the second, third, and fourth bombers dived down to the ground one after another, and the aviation machine guns on both sides of the plane spat out two flaming whips, and fiercely pumped at the Soviet soldiers in the trenches who could not dodge at all! Wherever the whip passed, the screams were endless, and those who were shot fell one after another with a fountain of blood!

Fifty kilogram, 100 kilogram, and 200 kilogram aerial bombs fell on the position one by one and exploded violently, and 12.7mm aviation machine gun bullets fell from the sky with a roar! The devastated Soviet positions were once again enveloped in a sea of fire, the trenches collapsed and fell down the hill, the fortifications rose into the sky, and the soldiers were reduced to piles of flesh and blood.

The A26, A27 and Mosquito fighters involved in the escort circled back and forth in the sky, diving downward and strafing from time to time to suppress the fire on the ground. However, the fighters did not dare to dive almost vertically like the B2 bomber, but their agility in pulling up and leveling flight was not comparable to that of the stupid B2 bomber.

After continuous bombardment, the artillery positions, machine-gun bunkers, and headquarters of the Soviet troops arranged on the mountains have been bombed to the point that they are not in shape.

Seeing that the time was ripe and the deafening sound of "Ula," the six armies of the Far Eastern Army, a total of 18 divisions, launched an attack on the enemy on the mountains on a front of more than 20 kilometers, from low to high, and the Soviet troops, who were undergoing the baptism of aerial bombs and aviation machine guns, were simply unable to organize an effective counterattack.

However, there were still some machine-gun bunkers built using caves and cliffs, constantly spitting out tongues of fire to suppress the attacks of the Far Eastern Army, and the battle quickly entered a state of anxiety.

......

The headquarters of the Turkmenistan Corps, set up in a widened cave at the southern foot of Mount Kurandag, is brightly lit. The entire cave was excavated out of the hall, side hall and conference room, all kinds of machines, almost occupying the cave, what transmitters, printers, telephones, etc., along the cave wall, more than 20 officers of different ages, are nervously busy, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet army Gorodovikov 2nd Army Group commander (the rank of general) stood in front of the map, watching the staff officers constantly mark on the map, with a heavy heart. However, at the moment, he could not see anything on his face, and in response to the changes in the front-line positions, he constantly mobilized troops into the front line to plug the gap that was almost collapsed.

More than 200 meters away from this cave is a dense Suosuo forest, and the officers and men of the Special Brigade of the Eighth Army, dressed in Soviet uniforms, cautiously lurked in the woods composed of hutong and shrubs, observing the situation of the Soviet army headquarters on the opposite side. The defense of the Soviet army headquarters was extremely sparse, and Captain An Zhixiao, the commander of the special brigade on the mission, sneaked all the way here from Chagger last night and lurked for three hours, and found that the Soviet command headquarters was only guarded by eight sentries from beginning to end.

However, these eight sentries were extremely conscientious, two of them stood at the mouth of the cave, and the remaining six were prostrate in the sandbag fortifications on both sides of the cave entrance, and the muzzles of the two Maxim M1910 heavy machine guns were outward, deterring all suspicious personnel who dared to approach the headquarters. At the same time, two or three hundred meters to the left and right of the headquarters, there are Soviet camps, and once the strong attack fails, Soviet reinforcements will arrive in two or three minutes at most, and the defense seems to be impeccable.

Just when An Zhixiao was pondering how to approach the headquarters, a terrible air raid siren came from the north, and the violent explosion of the aerial bomb landed on the ground, getting closer and closer to the cave where the Soviet headquarters was located, and the surrounding camps were in chaos, and there were Soviet soldiers running everywhere.

When the sound of the "buzzing" plane could be heard clearly, An Zhixiao acted decisively, and quickly moved towards the cave with eleven special fighters, and Lieutenant Long Xiaodan, the deputy detachment leader who participated in the mission, led the remaining four special soldiers and two Soviet DP machine guns to block the attack.

The lethality and coherence of this DP machine gun is not much worse than the general-purpose machine gun equipped by the MG34 machine gun equipped by the An Jiajun, it is simple to operate, reliable in action, firing M1908R 7.62 mm bullets with bottom edge, muzzle velocity of 840 m / s, maximum firing range of 3000 meters, gauge firing range of 1500 meters, effective firing range of 800 meters, theoretical rate of fire of 600 rounds / min, combat rate of fire of 80 ~ 90 rounds / min, later generations have been given the reputation of "MG42 nemesis". However, after secret research by the Anjiajun Ordnance Research Institute, it was found that after continuous firing, the DP machine gun will change its performance due to the heating of the barrel, which will cause the re-entry spring under the barrel to be heated and affect the normal operation of the weapon.

There were still more than 20 meters away from the Soviet command post, and the guards had obviously noticed this group of uninvited guests with weapons rapidly approaching, nervously raised the guns in their hands, and when they heard the cry of "comrades, hide, the Chinese bombers are coming, pay attention to protect the chief", and then looked at the Soviet military uniforms on An Zhixiao and others, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and put down the guns in their hands.

In the sandbag position, the Soviet soldiers on duty apparently heard the shouts as well, and the two M1910 heavy machine guns did not fire.

Taking advantage of the moment's hesitation of the Soviet guards, An Zhixiao and his special forces rushed forward and used only bayonets to kill the eight Soviet soldiers who had not yet figured out the situation. Because the bombers of the An Jiajun were constantly pouring bombs on the ground at this time, the Soviet troops near and far were only concerned with air defense and evasion, and no one realized that there was something wrong with their command center.

The battle went very smoothly, An Zhixiao led people to quickly drag the dead Soviet guards into sandbags and put them away, separated two special soldiers to stand at the gate post to continue camouflage, and then led the rest of the team to rush to the cave. As soon as he entered the cave, a Soviet officer walked out, An Zhixiao raised his hand to shoot, the Soviet officer was full of confusion, and he didn't understand why he was blackmailed by his own people, and he unwillingly covered his chest and fell against the wall.

The special forces flocked in, and for this group of killing machines that had undergone long-term and rigorous training, the officers and civilian personnel inside were simply chickens in the mouth of a tiger, and there was no difficulty at all.

The sound of gunfire in the cave was completely muffled by the chaotic sound of artillery and explosions from the outside world, and the special forces of the Anjia Army, armed with Soviet Nagant revolvers and PPD34 submachine guns, easily swept the halls and side halls of the cave, and most of the officers here did not even carry weapons.

However, after sweeping around, there was no figure of the commander-in-chief of the Soviet Army, Gorodovikov, who had left a deep memory after seeing the photos before the mission. Everyone's eyes quickly focused on the wooden door at the bottom of the cave that was isolated from the hall outside, and immediately several special forces rushed over.

"Bang-"

As soon as the special forces who rushed to the front kicked open the wooden door, he was immediately hit in the chest by a bullet fired from inside! Fortunately, he was wearing a bulletproof vest with a combination of aluminum alloy and high-strength nylon developed by the Syrian Weapons Research Institute, which could resist the shooting of pistol and submachine gun bullets.

"Throw a grenade!"

Under the command of An Zhixiao, a special soldier took out a Soviet 1930 grenade, opened the ring and threw it into the wooden door, "boom" sounded, and the explosion in the enclosed space really made people experience what is called deafening, An Zhixiao held a Nagant revolver, and quickly rushed into the wooden door that had been blown open, and his companions with submachine guns also rushed in. Stimulated by the strong smell of gunsmoke, they opened fire when they saw the panting, sending every living life to hell.

A minute later, the special forces ran out of ammunition in their magazines, and the battle was over.

In this conference room full of paper, An Zhixiao counted sixteen corpses, and was surprised to find that the officer with the smallest rank here was also a colonel. He looked around one by one, and soon found Gorodovikov, a Soviet general with a small stature and two thick beards, who had been shot in the head and should not have suffered much before dying.

Soon, the special forces began to search the headquarters on a large scale, swept away things including combat maps and code books, and threw a few grenades into the headquarters before leaving, and then rushed out of the cave.

Outside, the bombardment of the sky continued, and the deafening sound of explosions masked everything that was happening in the cave.

An Zhixiao led the special forces to retreat quickly, and the entire operation did not attract the attention of the Soviet garrisons on the left and right flanks of the command from beginning to end.

......

The Chinese Air Force adopted the method of bombing in turns, and when the second wave of aircraft arrived above the Soviet front, the first wave of fighters left to refuel and add ammunition, so as to ensure the continuity of the bombing.

This time, the fighters dispatched by the Anjia Army Air Force were all AB26 fighters that could brave ground artillery fire to support the ground. According to the advice of military experts, after the logistics department asked An Yi for instructions, the AB26 bomber has been named the Q1 (strong 1) attack aircraft, and its powerful firepower configuration is tantamount to a nightmare for the ground forces.

After withstanding repeated air raids, the Soviet troops, who had just woken up from a dream, also began to try to counterattack, and the Soviet air defense units arranged on more than 50 hills on a front with a diameter of more than 20 kilometers were organized, and more than 200 antiaircraft machine guns and more than 50 antiaircraft guns quickly spit out flames one after another, weaving a dense network of fire in the air.

Although the ground anti-aircraft fire was very fierce, the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine gunners of the Soviet army did not have much practical experience in air defense operations; due to the deliberate neglect of their superiors and the shortage of anti-aircraft ammunition, the number of training sessions was scarce, and they did not conduct live firing on the rare training several times throughout the year, so they suddenly went into battle, and the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns fired into the air for a long time, and they did not even have the hair of the Q2 fighter plane.

However, although they were not injured, the bullets and shells that suddenly shot into the air also frightened the pilots of the An Jiajun army, and they hurriedly pulled up the fuselage, not daring to dive at low altitude to strafe and drop bombs, which doubled the casualties of the Soviet soldiers in the trenches.

Major General Liu Yuxi, deputy of the 2nd Air Force Regiment and commander of the 20th Air Force Regiment and the 20th Air Force Regiment, who personally led the team to carry out the bombing mission, scolded: "What are you afraid of, their anti-aircraft machine gun bullets can't hurt us at all, and as for those anti-aircraft guns, do they have that crosshair?" Kill the anti-aircraft fire of the Soviets first! After saying that, he personally piloted the Q1 attack plane and swooped down on the 506 anti-aircraft machine gun position, which had the most firepower.

Liu Yuxi didn't pay attention to the bullet marks that swept around the fuselage, and the nose of the fuselage was firmly pointed at an anti-aircraft machine gun that was shooting at him frantically.

The Soviet anti-aircraft machine gunner, who was firing at the air with an anti-aircraft machine gun, was hit several times and fell unwillingly, and the deputy shooter filled the machine gun position and continued to shoot, and was soon hit by the bullets poured by the bomber behind! The ammunition man on the side hesitated, rushed to the position, and the anti-aircraft machine gun with the muzzle held high spit out flames, chasing straight towards the tail of the turning fighter.

"Tom-tom—"

The bullet collided with the perverted alloy armor of the Q1 strike plane, leaving only a few bullet marks, hearing the sound, the pilot piloting the fighter plane was startled, and hurriedly pulled it up, and the bombardier behind checked it and reported that there was no problem, so he was relieved to look for the next target.

The Soviet air defense soldier who had just served as an anti-aircraft machine gun shooter looked stunned, and before he could figure out what was going on, a bomb fell, and suddenly the entire position was shrouded in a violent explosion, and when the smoke dissipated, except for a deep pit, there was no trace of people with guns.

Another Q2 fighter plane swooped down from the sky, and two aerial bombs whizzed down on another anti-aircraft machine gun position. The bombs that were falling at a free speed were getting closer and closer, and the Soviet soldiers showed the spirit of seeing death as if they were at home, as if they had not seen anything, the ammunition men continued to carry boxes of bullets to the position, and the deputy shooters connected the bullet chains to ensure that the fire did not stop, the shooters hooked their fingers to the plate machine, and the yellow and clear bullet shells rained down on the position in the roar of the anti-aircraft machine guns.

Chains of fire chased the Q1 attack planes as they entered the bomb drop route, and the crossfire forced the pilots to pull up the planes cautiously! Even if it is equipped with powerful armor, it will not be able to withstand continuous fire, after all, some parts are still very fragile, and once shot, the consequences are unimaginable.

"Boom-"

Two huge orange fireballs rose into the air on the edge of the position, the entire hilltop position had been flattened by aerial bombs, and the sound of continuous anti-aircraft machine gun fire came to an abrupt end.

Just when the battle between the open and ground was raging, and the Far Eastern Army and the Soviet ground troops were in close hands, behind the Kurandag Mountain, there was a sudden earth-shattering continuous explosion, and the whole mountain was constantly trembling and crumbling, and it didn't take long for a huge column of smoke with a diameter of one or two kilometers to rise into the sky, and almost all the Soviet troops, from the officers to the soldiers below, looked up and wondered in their hearts the approximate location of the explosion, and their faces quickly changed dramatically.

The main ammunition supply of the Soviet army was in the city of Chagar behind the mountain, and looking at the place where the explosion occurred, a huge shadow was buried in everyone's hearts. The commander, political commissar, and internal affairs commissar of the Soviet army hurriedly called the command to confirm, but unfortunately they could not get through, and the worries in their hearts became more and more intense.

However, the Far Eastern Army knew that it was the Anjia Army, which had been airlifted to the southern foot of Mount Kurandag, and was launching an attack on the Soviet rear base of the city of Chagle. Chagger is the ammunition and material supply base of the Soviet army, looking at this battle, it is clear that the ammunition depot has been detonated, and the Soviet army, which has lost its supplies, has no capital to continue fighting.

The Far Eastern Army did not take care of the mood of the Soviet troops, and if the tiger came out of the cage, it fiercely pounced on the Soviet positions on the mountain.

Tang Wen personally led the Guard Division and the 22nd Division directly under the army, closely followed behind the Far Eastern Army, and launched an attack together. Tang Wen had a long heart, and ordered the troops not to rush too forward, to pay more attention to the remnants of the Soviet army left on the position, in the spirit of the Anjia army's goose plucking, guns and ammunition should not be left behind, even those incomplete weapons can not be let go, many weapons can be pieced together to form an intact firearm.

Looking at the Soviet army, after continuous artillery bombardment, and repeated bombing and shooting by Anjia Army fighters, Rao is a Red Army soldier with an iron will, and he has lost his temper at this time. In particular, the Q1 attack planes carried rockets with a navigation system, and they were able to hit artillery positions and machine-gun positions one by one, and the machine-gun bunkers arranged between caves and cliffs were silent, and they were unable to organize effective resistance at all.

At this time, there was an overwhelming shout of killing from the rear of the mountain, and the 23rd and 24th Divisions of the Eighth Army of the Anjia Army launched a fierce attack on the back of the defenseless Soviet army under the cover of tanks and armored fighting vehicles. Caught off guard, the Soviet army was in a mess, and the command center failed, and the troops fled in all directions like sparrows that exploded their nests.

Seeing that the current opponent was panicking, the Far Eastern Army was in great spirits and attacked desperately, and the Soviet army's defensive lines were broken one by one, and even the supervision team composed of internal affairs troops was shaken, which evolved into an unprecedented rout.

By the morning of the next day, all three Soviet armies had been wiped out, and the Soviet army of 200,000 troops had killed more than 98,000 people, captured 100,000 people, and lost more than 2,000 people.
