"Whoosh~~~" There was a violent sound tearing through the air in mid-air, like the terrifying sound of a heavy train passing through a cave, and it came to the top of the head in an instant. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Boom!" The violent explosion enveloped everything within a radius of hundreds of square meters in the coverage of the shock wave. Buildings collapsed, shrapnel flew everywhere, and no one could get out alive in this scenario.

A three-story building within the blast area collapsed, and two pedestrians fell to the ground next to the rubble. The collapsed building was a large crater, and light smoke was rising from the center of the pit. In the pool of blood on the ground lay a middle-aged woman, and an old man with only half of his body left.

A group of homeless Baku citizens got up from the ground after the explosion. Expressionless, they continued to search through the ruins for everything they thought was useful, most importantly, food and drinking water. As for the unlucky house and the two more unlucky civilians, no one had the energy to pay attention to them. This is a battlefield, and the cheapest material here is life.

A team of disheveled Russian troops also got up from the ground. The soldiers picked up the Mosinagan in their hands again, and continued on the road strewn with ruins and red blood stains on their faces with panicked expressions.

Most of these Russian soldiers had panic and grief on their faces. Most of them were local citizens who had been forcibly conscripted, and the fear and anger in their hearts as they looked at the devastated homes in front of them made them grieve inexplicably. At the same time, completely overwhelmed by their future.

Although Zhang Cheng was in a hurry, he did not blindly attack. On the battlefield, we must be good at making good use of our own advantages, this is Zhang Cheng's combat creed. Zhang Cheng, who had the upper hand, began to carry out heavy shelling of Baku. From heavy guns of 203 mm caliber to howitzers of 105 mm caliber, and even the naval guns of the Caspian flotilla joined in. All suppressed fire, which was long enough, fired at Baku without hesitation.

The railway line from Rasht to Baku has been put into use after emergency repairs by the engineering units. Train after train loaded with various military supplies drove to the front line in Baku to deliver supplies to Zhang Cheng's troops. The wealthy Ming will not be stingy with these shells.

The heavy shelling, which lasted for two days, had a huge impact on the Russian military and civilians in the Baku area. The brutal blockade and heavy shelling greatly undermined the morale and will of the defenders. And this is exactly what Zhang Cheng wants. Destroying the will of the enemy army to resist is even more effective than outright annihilation.

The artillery of the Ming Army has always been the best in the world, and the range of suppressed artillery is at least 10 kilometers or more. Almost the entire line of defense of the Russian army is shrouded in range.

Under the heavy bombardment of hundreds of heavy artillery, the Russian defense line was extremely rudimentary, and the improvised Russian defense line was destroyed and fragmented. At the same time, some of the remaining artillery pieces of the Russian army quickly turned into piles of scrap metal under the precise bombardment of the army aviation, and lost the ability to counterattack.

After two days of heavy shelling, Zhang Cheng gave the order for a general attack. A large number of tanks and armored vehicles rushed to the Russian defense line under the cover of the infantry, and it took only a few hours to break through the Russian perimeter and enter the city of Baku.

......

"General! The enemy attack is too fierce! A large number of tanks appeared in the eastern block, and the troops there were almost overwhelmed! They are compressing our defenses and we need reinforcements! "An officer with a blood-stained gauze on his head broke into the command post of Lieutenant General Berekov and reported loudly.

Another officer walked in with him, and the officer patted the dust on his body with his uninjured hand. There was gauze hanging from his other arm, and the blood stains inside could be faintly seen: "General! The enemy offensive was too fierce. From morning to now, I have to fill a regiment in an hour on average in battle! Now I have no troops left, the positions have been broken through. ”

"It's all bad news." Lieutenant General Berekov, who was sitting in a chair, raised his hand and scratched his bald hair, looked at a telegram on the table in front of him calmly, and whispered to himself, "Isn't there any good news?" ”

Lieutenant General Berekov's chief of staff stood by with a complicated expression and looked at the telegram. The telegram was sent by His Majesty the Tsar himself. The tsar told Lieutenant General Berekov that he would be allowed to break out by plane if it was not possible. Although I didn't dare to take off during the day, I didn't have a problem taking off at night and escaping. It's just that Lieutenant General Berekov seems to have completely failed to accept the good intentions of His Majesty the Tsar.

"I don't have any reserves either." Lieutenant General Berekov raised his hand and took a sip from the teacup beside him. The Ming Dynasty has dominated the world for hundreds of years, not only in politics, economy, military and other aspects, but also affected the world. The same is true for culture. After so many years of subtle development, drinking tea has become the first choice for upper-class people from all over the world.

"Guys, please hold on to the end." Lieutenant General Berekov raised his head, looked at his subordinates calmly, and said indifferently, "Not for anything else, but for the honor of the soldiers." ”

"Yes!" The subordinates who came to support looked at each other, then saluted and left.

"Your Excellency!" The chief of staff still couldn't hold back the worry in his heart, and stepped forward to say something. Lieutenant General Berekov stopped his next words with a wave of his hand. "I am the commander of the Caucasian Army. Now that the war is defeated, then it is necessary to assume the obligations and responsibilities of the commander. ”

Lieutenant General Berekov got up and went to his desk, took out a document of orders, took a pen and wrote a few lines on it, and then signed and sealed.

He took the document and handed it to his chief of staff. Lieutenant General Berekov spoke in a calm tone: "You select a group of excellent young officers and take them out of here by plane after dark." This is the command file. ”

"Your Excellency!" The chief of staff was stunned, he did not expect that Lieutenant General Berekov would actually give such an order.

"Young people are the future of the military." Lieutenant General Berekov smiled and raised his hand to pat the chief of staff on the shoulder, "Sum up the experience and lessons, and tell all my colleagues in detail about this battle." Don't let our tragedy happen again. ”

“...... Excellency. The chief of staff felt his vision begin to blur, and there was a hint of choked in his voice.

"Go ahead." Lieutenant General Berekov waved his hand calmly, turned to the chair and sat down, picked up the teacup and closed his eyes.

Listening to the rumbling sound of artillery outside the headquarters getting closer and closer, the chief of staff looked up to the sky and sighed, raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, touched his heel vigorously, saluted Lieutenant General Berekov, and then turned around and strode away.

......

"Stop!" Lin Shuo, who was lying on the periscope, suddenly shouted, and the driver stepped on the brakes, and the heavy Tiger suddenly stopped.

"Boom!" A dull metal knock made the crew members of the chariot shake, and an unbearable humming sound rang in their ears. This scene has been repeated many times, they were hit by anti-tank guns.

Most of the anti-tank guns equipped by the Russian army are 37 mm and 50 mm caliber. This is the equipment of the Russian army developed according to its own standards for armored forces. However, these small-caliber anti-tank guns hardly played any role in the face of the new Ming tanks, especially the Tiger tanks with super armor protection.

However, the Russian army is also equipped with a small number of 76 mm caliber anti-tank guns. The number of such anti-tank guns is small, and they are generally attached to units at or above the military level. And the 75-mm anti-tank of the entire Caucasian Army was concentrated in Baku. This anti-tank gun at close range could already inflict a fatal blow on the weak points of the Leopard tank. And what just hit Lin Shuo's car was a 76 mm caliber armor-piercing bullet.

"Normal!"

"Normal!"

"The headlights are broken!"

"The suspension is showing signs of loosening."

After hearing the report of the crew members, Lin Shuo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"At 2 o'clock, behind that sandy fortification! Aim! Lin Shuo quickly gave the gunner an order. The heavy turret of the Tiger tank began to rotate slowly. While the muzzle of the black hole was pointed at the 76mm anti-tank gun, the Russian artillerymen were still busy reloading.

"Fire!" With Lin Shuo's roar, a high-explosive grenade had accurately hit the Russian fortifications in an instant, and then destroyed the place along with people and artillery plus improvised fortifications.

"Hit!" Lin Shuo waved his fist vigorously and shouted loudly, "Reload, high-explosive bomb." ”

By this time, the mechanized infantry that accompanied the tank action had also followed, and they jumped from the armored vehicles and trucks, carrying their weapons and running through the rubble.

The ZCM2 submachine gun in the hands of the mechanized infantry is amazingly powerful in this combat environment at this moment. The submachine guns, armed with 71 rounds of large drums, formed an overwhelming firepower advantage in close combat against the Russians who were still using Mosinagan rifles. Often the two sides encounter each other suddenly in the rubble, and the Russian army usually only has a chance to fire a shot. And one ZCM2 submachine gun can even take out an entire squad!

Several machine gunners ran out from behind Lin Shuo's tank and burrowed into a building on the left side of the street that was only slightly damaged. It didn't take long for the second-floor windows of the building to be pushed open, and the terrifying sound of shooting like tearing linen rang out. Under the cover of tanks and machine guns, dozens of infantry soon occupied the crossing.

After the friendly forces came up, Lin Shuo and his crew were given a short break. After a general inspection of their vehicles, several armored soldiers pulled out their cigarettes and began to puff into the clouds.

It's not that they don't want to repair tank damage, it's not that they don't want to replenish ammunition. But now there are warring everywhere, and communications are very problematic. Neither the repair company nor the ammunition company passed by this side.

Ten minutes later, an infantry captain and his company approached Lin Shuo: "At the end of this street is a church, where scouts report that it may be the headquarters of a Russian army. I need your support. ”

The tank started again, and Lin Shuo leaned out half of his body and vigilantly looked at the environment on the street. His chariot was followed by three armored vehicles and hundreds of infantrymen. A new battle is about to begin again. (To be continued.) )
