The winding and wide Syr Darya River, after the rush of spring and summer, gradually freezes, and looks like a white ribbon from the sky. The Syr Darya Valley, also known as the middle of the river, is one of the richest regions in all of Central Asia. With the exception of the small and fat Andijan, which belonged to China, the rest of the country produced 60 percent of the total cotton of the Soviet Union, 27 percent of grain, 35 percent of meat, and 20 percent of leather and wool. It is no exaggeration to say that without this, the Soviets in Europe may not even be able to guarantee warm cotton clothing.

In order to make the Kazakhs "obedient", Stalin brought the Great Purge into the steppes. In just a few years, tens of thousands of Kazakh elites were exiled and shot, and the Kazakhs became a "headless group" completely. Later, despite the opposition, collective farms were forcibly introduced, so that the herders could no longer have cattle and sheep, the only wealth they had.

In order to ensure that the light of the great leader Joseph Stalin would shine in Central Asia, and to counter China's defense requirements, Moscow has been building here since the first five-year plan, which has made the Kazakh people miserable, in order to ensure that the light of the great leader Stalin will shine in Central Asia. The Tashkent-Orenburg railway, which was proposed in the first five-year plan and started construction in the second five-year plan, has unfortunately been delayed due to the defection and has to be adjusted, so it is currently only built to Mailibash on the Aral Sea.

In order to mislead the enemy, the 15 Y-3s made a circle over the Aral Sea and then quickly headed east along the railway line. The Y-3, which resembles the JU52, was the earliest main transport aircraft of the Wehrmacht, and with the increasing demand for long-range operations of the Air Force, it was gradually reduced to the second line due to its short range, and at least 350 of it was sold to domestic airlines and some foreign customers.

Because the Soviet Union also bought a lot of ju52s when it purchased fighter jets from Germany last time, after deciphering Moscow's telegram, Yang Qiu thought of using its shape to confuse the enemy. But it's not easy. Because the JU52 uses corrugated skin, while the Yunsan has a smooth skin, there is also a big difference in appearance, so all 15 aircraft have been modified. The technicians used the method of pasting striped wallpaper on the surface to simulate the unique corrugated skin shape, and painted some unique symbols and flags of the Soviet Union, and finally invited the air force pilots who had encountered the Soviet JU52 to distinguish between the real and the fake.

Zong Lei walked into the cockpit: "How long will it take?" ”

"About half an hour." Captain Lei Tianchun pointed to the white salt marsh that appeared under the wings and instructed the co-pilot: "Let the translator come." We arrived at the Ares Salt Flats and were ready to contact the airport. ”

Before the co-pilot got up, the anxious Zong Lei had already pulled the translator over. Soon, the radio was connected to the Kyzylorda airport. The interpreter was also nervous and carefully coped with inquiries on the ground. Because Moscow had previously sent a telegram to send planes to pick up important personnel. Therefore, the airport was not too suspicious, but only asked a few more questions about the number of planes, and finally warned to be careful of enemy aircraft. For the sake of realism, the interpreter, disguised as the tone of the Moscow Internal Affairs Army, also unceremoniously asked the airport to prepare some delicious food, and asked the Soviet troops to clear the runway so as not to delay the return of the group.

Hearing that the translator sent by the Military Intelligence Bureau actually ordered the Soviet army directly, Zong Lei was also dumbfounded. I'm afraid it's too much. You know, although the Falcon Brigade has conducted intensive training for the environment at Kyzylorda Airport before departure, he does not dare to guarantee 100% success, after all, there are more than 60 planes stationed there.

Fortunately, the ground did not continue to ask. It seems that the gold-lettered signboard of the internal affairs army can still bluff many people.

As soon as the communication was interrupted, another radio station received a signal from the ground commandos that Zhuo Fan had encountered a Soviet cavalry company twenty kilometers north of Kyzylorda, and his tracks had been exposed.

"Sir. The air assault team landed 25 minutes later. ”

"Then speed it up!"

"With the exception of the machine guns of the wheeled armored battalion, the others were concentrating on the road and not firing. The first battalion and the second battalion dispersed. Platoons strafe after the cavalry, they don't have a radio! Standing on the half-track command vehicle, Zhuo Fan calmly commanded the battle with a telescope in hand. For convenience, before setting off, he renumbered the commando detachment with four wheeled armored battalions from one to four, five half-tracked battalions, six and seven battalions for infantry, and tank companies as separate assault forces.

Kyzylorda is surrounded by large plains, and the highest altitude is only 288 meters, so after Zhuo Fan accepted the task, he deliberately chose the faster 66-wheeled hound armored vehicle and the Type 25 tank, ready to retreat quickly and retreat quickly after grabbing people. Although now the operation has turned into a blocking battle, the Hound armored vehicle has a clear advantage in the chase.

Under the pursuit and strafing of the HJ32 general-purpose machine gun and the 127 mm fanged heavy machine gun, cavalry constantly rolled off horseback. If it is a tank, they still have hope to escape with agility and speed, but in the face of road speeds of up to 75 kilometers per hour, the wild Great Plains can ensure 45 kilometers of hunting dogs, which is no different from slaughter. The worst thing was that the Soviet industry was seriously short and lacked radio, so the cavalry company could not notify the rear even if it was attacked.

After about ten minutes of pursuit, two patrolling I-15s spotted the battle and whistled and dropped bombs on the commandos. Booming 50-kilogram bomblets landed in the middle of the assault group, and the flying mud debris clanged on the steel plates. "Anti-aircraft machine guns drove out the plane. The remaining battalions attacked with armored companies as arrows. Battery! In ten minutes, I need to see the shells shoot out! ”

The dense line of fire that rushed up from the ground made the I-15, who could not find a chance, have to go back to report the news first.

After the 14 assault half-tracks came to a stop, the artillerymen quickly opened the rear compartments, lowered their hoes, and shook the 105-mm cannon across the nose. With the tilt of resources towards the sea and air, the pace of upgrading of the ground weapons of the Wehrmacht was slow. For example, the 105 mm cannon on the half-track is actually the War Hammer Type 14B produced in imitation of the Japanese Type 92 long-range field cannon in the European war. 45 times the caliber, excluding the wheel mount artillery with a dead weight of 3 tons. Although it belongs to the old artillery, it is still the main cannon of the Wehrmacht because of the full amount of advance, the muzzle velocity of 765 meters per second and the firing range of up to 18,000 meters.

The artillery here is racing against time, and Kyzylorda is also in tension there. The fleet of planes sent by Moscow made Galachukin and Skovoldsov a sigh of relief, and although Moscow has not yet made public the news of the defeat in East Kazakhstan, it has not been able to hide it from them.

To know. They now have less than two regiments of infantry, a company of Vesk tanks, and dozens of old I-15 and I-16 fighters, not even a few cannons. As for the Kazakh cavalry division, it has been very unpeaceful recently, although several officers have been dismissed in succession, but the news that Yang Qiu wants to make Kazakhstan and Central Asian countries independent in his declaration of war speech has deeply stimulated these Kazakh fighters, so no one dares to guarantee that they will not defect en masse after being sent out. Skovoldsov even ordered the cavalry division to be stationed on the south bank of the Syr Darya River, so that something would happen. It also took 1 hour for the cavalry division to cross the river. But this was not enough to ensure the security of the Kazakh capital, and as the leader of the republic, he could not withdraw without an order from Moscow, otherwise he would be killed by Beria's internal affairs troops on charges of desertion. Fortunately, after waiting for more than half a month, the plane finally came.

After learning about the discovery of several hundred tanks and armored vehicles in the north of the city. Skovoltsov immediately ordered the two infantry regiments to press up, and then asked the internal troops to destroy the pieces, and he himself took more than 300 high-ranking Kazakh leaders and their families to the airport to prepare for retreat.

Just as they were taking the Kazakh high-level to the airport, Lei Tianchun had already driven Yunsan into the landing channel. Although there was a lot of gunfire in the north of the city, in order to make room for the landing of the "Ministry of Internal Affairs" group, the Soviet pilots could only sit in the engine room that had already started and wait anxiously.

Rybakov also sat in his I16 cabin, looking at the "JU52" that landed in front of him in a dense formation. I always feel that something is not normal. As one of the few pilots who escaped from Karaganda before the formation of the Kazakh encirclement, he was very alert to the experience of escaping from enemy machine guns several times.

What's wrong?

Rybakov habitually put his finger on the lever trigger, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense. But no matter how he looks at it. There is nothing abnormal about these planes. Suddenly, the two "ju52s" that were too close to each other shook violently, and the wind speed interference during landing almost caused the two planes to collide together, but fortunately the pilot reacted quickly. They each deviated to the left and right to avoid the impact. Let the wheels fall safely onto the compacted mud runway.

"The response was so fast." The thrilling scene and the speed of reaction made the Soviet pilots applaud loudly. Rybakov was just about to praise it, but a flash flashed in his mind! Formation, right! It's formation! Transport planes rarely use dense formations when landing, because the operation of these big guys is not as flexible as that of fighter jets, not to mention that transport planes land in safe areas, so there is no need to use this formation! And the scene just now clearly tells everyone that the pilots who fly the "ju52" are very skilled. With such technology, why not fly a fighter jet to fight the enemy, but hide behind and drive a transport plane?

"Send someone to check it."

There was no one inside, and Rybakov did not dare to open fire easily, so he immediately stood up and shouted for the soldiers to go up and check. But at the same time as he stood up, the windows on both sides of more than a dozen "JU52s" and the large improved hatches suddenly opened, and a heavy 127-mm machine gun poked out of it.

Seeing the machine gun, Rybakov suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly sat down and pulled the trigger. As soon as the finger touched the trigger, the sound of aggressive strafing had already come from the "ju52".

Thick and flat metal bullet chains fed the heavy machine guns at a rate of 500 rounds per minute, and a metal storm of more than a dozen heavy machine guns swept across the tarmac like a torrential rain. Dozens of Soviet fighters waiting to take off were smashed by semi-armor-piercing incendiary bombs before they could figure it out.

As the machine gunner opened fire, the large hatch on the other side of the fuselage quickly opened, and the 18 commandos rushed out of the cabin as fast as they could, rushing towards the intended target. "Hurry! The machine gun continues to strafe! Zong Lei shouted loudly to urge his comrades to get off the plane, and when the last soldier jumped out of the cabin, he immediately led everyone to the dormitory.

"Bastard, asshole!" At the same time, Rybakov also roared and pulled the trigger. Two 762-mm machine guns in the nose of the aircraft fired fiercely at the nearest "JU52". Dense bullets pierced through the middle of the fuselage like a cutting machine, and several commandos and machine gunners who had not had time to get off the plane were immediately beaten to a bloody pulp.

"Boom!" The fierce strafing finally turned the Yun-3 into a fireball, and the violent explosion not only blew the fuselage into three, but also affected the Yun-3 next to it. Fortunately, the commandos on the Y-3 had already left, and only one pilot was killed by the debris that penetrated the cockpit.

Just as Rybakov was quickly adjusting the nose of the plane to aim at the next Y-3, a series of fire points suddenly fell into the sky, swept past the tail boom of his plane, and completely interrupted the plane. After he crawled out of the cabin, he found that the last two "JU52s" that did not land were hovering sideways around the apron, while two lines of fire and a larger gun port were aiming at the airfield and firing non-stop.

"Boom, boom." On the plane, a 40mm automatic grenade launcher was aimed at Rybakov and sprayed with rage! In order to strengthen the commando firepower, the Air Force specially converted two of them into air fire support aircraft, each equipped with two 127-mm heavy machine guns and a 40-mm automatic grenade launcher that had just been finalized. Under the continuous strafing of automatic grenade launchers similar to the Mk18, Rybakov suddenly felt like he was in a rain of grenades, and by the time the gunners shifted their targets to the anti-aircraft positions, there were no erect creatures in the grenade-covered area.

A 40mm grenade is typically thin-skinned and large, and a single hit is enough to kill all soldiers in a gun emplacement. So it didn't take much effort for the two fire support aircraft to destroy the anti-aircraft artillery positions in the airfield. With strong support from the air, the assault team's attack was even smoother.

"Attack! Offensive! ”

The Falcon Commando, who was holding back his strength to be ashamed of his last mistake, quickly interspersed as planned, and Zong Lei kept rushing to the front. The H37 automatic rifle was also a tiger with wings, and often the Soviet soldiers were suppressed by a string of bullets as soon as they poked their heads out.

The rapid firepower and offensive caught the Soviet army off guard. By the time a group of commandos grabbed the two 37mm guns on the roof and aimed them at the airfield, the Soviets were already in a state of collapse.

The two fire support planes saw that the commando group controlled the airfield, and even more protected a group of commandos who had grabbed the truck early, and stopped the Kazakh leading convoy that was about to flee when they saw that the situation was not good, and the strafing of machine guns and grenades caused heavy casualties to the convoy, and the commandos almost did not make any effort to find out the people who had lost their fighting spirit, Galachukin and Skovoltsov, and others. After taking out the photos and identifying them one by one, they were re-stuffed into the truck.

Half an hour later, the six Yun-3 flew towards Balkhash with more than 100 important prisoners who had been tied into rice dumplings, escorted by thunder and lightning who arrived to meet them. After completing the task, Zong Lei immediately led the assault team back to the back of the Soviet army in the north of the city. At the same time, the Kazakh cavalry division stationed on the south bank of the Syr Darya River also launched an uprising at the instigation of the Military Intelligence Bureau, killing all the more than 100 non-Kazakh officers in the division, and officially announcing its reorganization into the Kazakh Independent First Cavalry Division, which accepted the leadership of the Central Asian Theater Command of the Wehrmacht
