"Let me go up! Let me go up! Bastards, you bastards! Lao Tzu's soldiers. ”

"Let go of me, as long as I'm not dead, the position will still be there!"

"Fake, this order is fake!"

The soldiers forcibly carried a large number of junior officers and the robes and brothers, and under the cover of machine gun and artillery fire, they were stuffed into the retreating armored vehicles. Officers and soldiers were furious, their eyes blood-red, and they struggled to get back into position.

Such sights abound throughout the Irgiz line.

Although the late telegram could not save Zhao Siyuan and the 412 Heights, it still kept the last of the 16th and 33rd armies. When the deputy commander, who was kneeling on the ground and pleading, heard the news, he immediately gave the order to retreat in place of the wounded commander. The order was given, but many troops had already killed the red eyes, and these soldiers at the grassroots level, who did not know the plan, could not give up the high ground that they had held for 23 days, and they were unwilling to leave their siblings to escape alone, so many people insisted on continuing to fight. In order to avoid greater casualties, Du Zishan finally had to force a retreat, and also used the gendarmes to drag them away. How to retreat safely and ensure that the remaining troops could be engaged in a counterattack in a few days tested Du Zishan and all the officers, but fortunately they were well prepared, using more than 5,000 trucks and 40,000 mules and horses, under the cover of the air force and artillery, to quickly retreat. During the retreat, Du Zishan also decisively invested a small number of reserves, joined the withdrawn troops to carry out several ambush battles, and annihilated the Soviet troops pursuing before the breakthrough several times.

Although the troops were repeatedly ambushed, they did not interrupt the pursuit of Malinovsky and Zhukov. Just as Liu Mingzhao predicted, after 23 days of fierce fighting, the Soviet army, with 100,000 dead and wounded, had also reached its limit, and if we did not take advantage of the excitement period to expand the breakthrough as much as possible and seize the strategic depth, it would be very dangerous once the opponent gathered troops to pounce from the rear and from the north. After receiving the telegram sent by Mechelis at the first time, Stalin, who was about to be cornered, jumped up and ran to the General Staff in person, once again bypassing Timoshenko, who was supposed to be under specific command, and sent the order directly to the front. "Don't be afraid of casualties! It is necessary to continue to expand the results of the battle, give full play to the spirit of the best warriors who are not afraid of hardship and sacrifice, and boldly intersperse with Alkarek! This is the command center of the enemy's southern front, so be sure to capture it as soon as possible! Holding the phone, his words were loud and loud, completely lost his previous apprehension.

"Please rest assured that the general secretary and the people will definitely complete the task and eliminate all the invaders!" On the other end of the phone, Mehris replied loudly, ignoring the two pairs of disdainful eyes behind him. On the one hand, there was the order of the General Secretary, and on the other hand, the needs of the battlefield, and Zhukov and Malinovsky could only order to press on all fronts. By evening, after two large-scale pursuits, the four armies of the West Kazakh Front had unwittingly pursued 70 kilometers. Looking down from the sky, the Irgiz salient of the Central Asian defense line has cracked a huge depression 40 kilometers wide, and more than 400,000 Soviet troops are moving eastward along the depression.

At eight o'clock that night, fearing an attack in the dark, Zhukov suggested stopping the pursuit. As the commander of the Front, Malinovsky also knew that the night was dangerous, but Stalin's orders made him hesitate. At this time, Mehris jumped out again, and the fox took out Stalin's order, asking to continue the pursuit, and also turned over old accounts, saying that Zhukov had delayed the fighter, and finally even stabbed the matter to the Kremlin. Stalin, who received the news and was imagining the capture of Arkarek and then the encirclement of the Kazakh Akmola region, was very angry and scolded Zhukov on the phone. Zhukov was very annoyed by Stalin's repeated bypassing direct orders from the theater command. But just as he was about to convince Malinovsky, the tide of the war took a subtle turn. It turned out that Du Zishan took advantage of the darkness of night to order the two corps of the reserve army to assemble at the northern end of the Aral Sea and the Aksala-Baikonur line behind him, and at the same time, he personally led the 60,000 soldiers who had withdrawn, regardless of fatigue, to deliberately detour to both sides of the depression and put on a posture of counter-encirclement. This feint had a miraculous effect, and Malinovsky, fearing a counter-encirclement, had to abandon Zhukov's suggestion and ordered the few remaining reserves and baggage convoys to speed up the crossing of Irgiz, and also deployed them on both flanks to protect the main forces to continue their advance.

Malinovsky did not know that shortly after he asked the staff officer to send a transfer telegram, the Central Asian Theater Command successfully deciphered the telegram and handed it over to the anxious Liu Mingzhao. After receiving the telegram, Liu Mingzhao first asked Li Yuguo to attack on all fronts, put on a posture of a decisive battle with Kirponosky, cover Sun Liren and others, open a passage for them, and then let the air force start a "covering" operation.

At midnight, in the huge Alkarek field airfield, 16 black-painted electric warfare 5 electronic jamming planes of the Air Force's 'Night Owl' group slowly slid onto the runway, followed by the 24 night combat Jian-6 double-headed Jiaojiao fighters protecting them, and flew into the night sky together. Soon after, an air command plane converted from a four-engine long-range Y-9 transport plane and 12 Jian-Ba Tianquan fighters also quickly broke free from the shackles of gravity.

The 'Night Owl' Brigade is a newly formed aviation group of the Air Force that specializes in conducting electronic warfare, and its main equipment is an electronic warfare-5 electronic jamming aircraft modified from the H-5 fuselage. In fact, electronic jamming is no longer a secret, Britain, the United States, Germany and other countries have already entered actual combat, the United States also developed the latest APT-2 strong radio wave jammer half a year ago, Britain also began to install similar products on bombers, and when bombing Germany, it was used to jam German communications and radar. Of course, Yang Qiu will not let China lag behind in electronic technology, so the country began to study electromagnetic interference very early, but the early difficulty is that the interference time is short, and it is easy to 'accidentally injure' himself, until Nanjing University invented a special electronic pod, using the turbine generator at the head of the pod, to solve the problems of long-term suppression and electromagnetic wave amplification, etc., before it really entered into practice. The Air Force was very satisfied with the test, and deliberately used large aircraft such as the H-5 to modify them, and set up a special 'night owl' brigade.

According to actual combat testing, when an electric warfare 5 carries two 'silent' full-band electromagnetic noise interference pods, the interference area can reach 1,200 square kilometers, and the efficiency is twice that of the American APT-2 strong radio wave jammer. In addition, the EW 5 can also carry anti-radar chaff and anti-radar jamming pods to suppress enemy radars. The four-engine large-scale electronic warfare Type 6 electronic jamming aircraft, which is also under development, can search for and locate the source of electromagnetic waves while jamming the target, and then direct the bomber to destroy the target.

"Report, night owls are out of the nest, and the masking operation begins half an hour later."

After the Night Owl Brigade lifted into the air, the assembly area to the east of the Sarekopa theater of operations also boiled. Thousands of engines roared noisily, and the chariots that had just undergone pre-war maintenance drove out of their hidden positions under the cover of night. "Let's go!" Sun Liren, who had grabbed the task of sharp knives, looked at his watch, flicked his black leather windbreaker, got into the latest Type 39 'Yak' full-tracked command vehicle, and led the 2nd Armored Division to rush towards the dense artillery fire.

Then there was the 8th Panzer Division, the 39th Panzer Division, and the 29th Mechanized Infantry Division.

=====

25 km northeast of Lake Sarekopa, 61 T34/76, 12 KV100 tanks of the 45th Tank Brigade of the USSR 2nd Ural Front, quietly hid behind a dense canopy. This is a forested area with a small river in front and the Turkgai Plateau in the back, where traffic is difficult. Due to the lack of roads, no significant value, and its location on the edge of a war zone, there were basically no major exchanges of fire for 23 days. However, the steady Kirponoski deployed a tank brigade and an infantry brigade here.

The 45th Tank Brigade is a battle-hardened unit that has been in the Central Asian theater since the spring and summer battles of last year. Although the opponent's tanks were better, the brigade commander, Colonel Ponov, was confident that the gap in equipment could be made up for with more use of terrain and tactical coordination. Just like the dense canopy of trees, the river, and the plateau behind you, it is the best place to ambush. It's a pity that this is not the main theater of operations, and General Kirponoski has a conservative army, so he has not had a chance to test his ideas yet.

"Comrade Brigade Commander, come and see this! Something went wrong with our radio. "Colonel Ponov was about to inspect the vehicles, and in the tank next to him, the communications squad leader Yulkin came out and waved to him anxiously." What's wrong? "Communication is a big weakness of the Soviet army, because of the serious shortage of its own radio station production, and the fact that all countries now regard radio stations as strategic materials, it is difficult to smuggle, so he has only five radio stations in a tank brigade.

In developed urban areas such as Kokshetau to the north, there is no problem with the lack of radio stations, and it is possible to contact them through telephone lines. But not here, because before the war Sarecopa was a wasteland, and there was not a single telephone line passing through it. In wartime, it is okay to have a telephone line of several tens of kilometers, but it is not worth laying hundreds of kilometers of field telephone lines, so the troops here all have to rely on radio communication. "Listen, noise, it's all noise." Eulikin is the oldest and most skilled communications squad leader in the brigade, and even he has a panicked look, which shows that the problem is very serious. Colonel Ponov hurriedly put his ear to the headphones, only to find that it was full of rustling noise.

"Is it broken?"

"I don't know, this has never been the case. I've checked, you see, all the parts are good. I just used another one to do a transmission experiment, and the results are all like this. ”

"The other? You mean, we broke two? Colonel Ponov shouted in surprise, but Eulygin held up five fingers and swung vigorously. No, it's five, all of them! It's all this weird sound. I can't get any signal, and when I send it out, it's going to be this damn noise. "If in Western Europe, Eulygin would definitely have been warned about the characteristics of electronic interference. However, Germany and the Soviet Union did not form an alliance, so they were not obliged to inform each other of the new situation on the battlefield, and in addition, the Soviet Union's research on electronic jamming technology was backward, and because the war had completely stopped, he had no way to judge at all.

Ponov was also puzzled and couldn't figure out why the five radio stations suddenly broke down together. As he was trying to figure out a solution, a slight motor sound disturbed his thoughts. "Comrade brigade commander, there seems to be something outside the woods." The sound of the motor alarmed the soldiers, and everyone got into the tank.

"Find a way to fix it! Tell me as soon as it's fixed. "Colonel Ponov patted Eulykin, got into his own KV100 tank and ordered to be combat-ready. The woods began to bustle, and the noise of the B2 engine drowned out the sound of the motor just heard. "It seems to be on the left." A sharp-eared tankman poked through the hatch to try to discern the difference from the noise. More commanders and infantry officers leaned out and searched around with binoculars. But it was too dark and deep in the woods, so the maximum visibility was only about 150 meters.

"Torris! Take your class and go scouting. Ponov waved to a tank squad leader and told him to get out of the woods and take a look. Three T34/76s emitted black smoke and slowly drove out of the woods. But the moment their figures disappeared into the canopy, three fireballs exploded from the direction they had left.

"Boom, boom." The sight of three T34s being hit and exploding almost simultaneously stunned the Soviet troops, and before Colonel Ponov could understand what was going on, the infantry company commander next to him screamed in horror.

"Manchurian Tiger!"

Four 'Night Tigers' main battle tanks, drilled out from behind the flames of the T34's explosion, the powerful 85mm long-barreled cannon, have locked onto their next target.
