Chapter 137 137 Twin Blades and Thunderbolts

"The 78th Tank Division of the Soviet Army is showing signs of retreat." Qi Yiming frowned and looked at the text that appeared in the lower left corner of the screen, he knew very well what kind of idea the opponent was playing, if it was changed to his position in Feskov, he would definitely not stupidly send the 78th Tank Division into the grave.

Now it can be reflected from many aspects that the Soviet army is almost unable to compete with the PLA in terms of intelligence mastery, air superiority, firepower and maneuverability, not to mention the crushing effect produced by the combination of these advantages, and it is impossible for the Soviet army to face the PLA to achieve the face-saving victory in the image.

Qi Yiming is now full of confidence, as long as the rear can ensure the logistics of the front-line troops through railways and other means, especially the 309th Division, a gold-swallowing beast, even if the 40th Army of the Turkestan Military Region in Afghanistan is withdrawn, and then the 36th Army is pieced together, and the remaining troops of the Central Asian Military Region are pressed out, and an army of 200,000 is made or something, Qi Yiming still feels that with the 309th Division as the main body, with the 4th, 6th, 8th and 11th Divisions of the Xinjiang Military Region that are already in place, the total strength is almost 80,000 people. The firepower was even more easily superior to the two Soviet armies. He has nearly 200 warplanes at his disposal, and he continues to have a large number of precision surface-to-surface missiles at his disposal. Holding a good hand, as long as there is no faint move, only at the tactical level, Qi Yiming is confident that he will win.

Fiskov naturally saw it, but compared to PLA, which was full of morale and firepower, the cards he originally thought were good became inferior. Obviously, it is impossible for the Dao to be stronger than the Chinese army in a head-to-head duel, so there is naturally no need to continue to fight hard. The idea of this cunning Soviet commander was to wait for changes.

At this point, although only 30 hours have passed, too many things have happened in these 30 hours - the Fifth Agricultural Division was almost wiped out by the whole organization, the Solinsky Division was defeated and surrendered by the Eighth Division, the Central Asian Military District and the Turkestan Military District suffered a large number of surface-to-surface missile attacks, the Territorial Defense Force suffered Waterloo, and the 32nd Army was unfavorable - Fiskov, an old-school soldier, could no longer understand what kind of mode the current war was conducting, and he obviously felt that the war was speeding up, pushing him forward, When he thought he was ready, reality proved that he was far from ready.

Feskov needed a moment to gather his thoughts and take a detailed summary of the 30 hours of the battle. He could subconsciously feel that this war would play a crucial role in the future military reform and military transformation of the Soviet Union and even the entire world.

The crux of the matter lies in the fact that Fiskov vaguely knew that this military operation had to a certain extent bypassed Gorbachev, who had not yet established absolute prestige in the party, and that it was led by some people within the military; although he repeatedly asked his direct superior, Nikolayevich, commander-in-chief of the Central Asian Military District, although the military district commander's tone was resolute, Feskov was well aware of the mentality of his old boss, and the more decisive he appeared, the more panicked Nikolayevich became.

If the war continues to expand, where will it go? No one knows what to do, but everyone can guess an ending, and it is the last thing everyone wants. Feskov no longer has the idea of finding face or finding a place at the moment, and he is even ready to be punished, but to paraphrase a financial term, it is time to cut the meat and stop the loss. Knowing that you can't win, you still have to fight, and you can only suffer more losses.

"Or wait for other forces to support, or seek a political breakthrough, but now is by no means the time to rigidly seek a military solution." Fiskov told his subordinates this to the relief of many. Suffering losses is not a big deal for the gray cattle of the fighting people, but suffering losses one after another in such a short period of time, and the losses are so heavy, even the cattle will be afraid!

What fragments of foreign civilizations, Soviet glory and the like, Fiskov has discarded, as a military commander, the most important thing is to protect his troops to the greatest extent.

Qi Yiming on the other end also knew that this battle could not be turned into a full-scale war, and if it was fought, Qi Yiming would have no future. Playing to this point, Qi Yiming's little heart liver is popping, he is under great pressure, in order to accumulate experience in his base, and upgrade to unlock the combat laboratory. But in the final analysis, he did not build a base for the purpose of strengthening the army and the country, because "his own selfishness" plunged the country into a protracted war, which was inconsistent with his original intention.

Qi Yiming glanced at the experience bar again, and knew that he had already taken some advantage, if the entire 32nd Army was eaten, the road to upgrading would be completed for the most part, and if he destroyed the Turkestan Military Region and the Central Asian Military Region, it would definitely be an upgrade. But at that time, he couldn't end it. Sometimes things are so helpless, fortunately, Qi Yiming's self-control is not bad, otherwise he may really mobilize a large army to break into Central Asia until he upgrades.

"You can't destroy all the Soviet troops in Central Asia, it's no problem to eat the 78 Tank Division!" Qi Yiming comforted himself that as an all-armored force, killing the 78th Tank Division could account for almost half of the experience of destroying the 32nd Army, and it was also a necessary step to destroy the 32nd Army's ability to attack fortifications. Unless Gorbachev is willing to start a big war, all he can do is continue to build up millions of troops on the border, not start a nuclear war.

————

After receiving Fiskov's military order, Yamakov did not hesitate any longer, immediately gathered his troops and prepared to retreat to join the main mechanized infantry division. It's just that people are not as good as heaven, and as soon as his troops completed the turn, a tank battalion that changed from the front to the rear encountered the enemy.

"Division commander, it's a helicopter gunship! Chinese gunships, a lot...... Yes! "Communication was cut off, and Fiskov could roughly understand what had happened to his battalion commander without even thinking about it.

The staff officer anxiously suggested: "Comrade division commander, we should go back immediately and rescue our comrades. ”

Who knew that Yamakov didn't think about it, and directly vetoed: "No, the whole army will speed up, and we will withdraw from this area immediately!" Our division does not have many anti-aircraft weapons, not many self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, and even fewer shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles, if it is really a large cluster of armed helicopters of the PLA, for us armored soldiers on the ground, it is simply delicious carrion in the eyes of vultures! I can't take this risk! ”

What Yamakov said is a bit excessive, in fact, as a fully armed tank division, he still has a lot of good things in his hands. In addition to three regiments of nearly three hundred T-64s and even a part of the T-80 tanks, he also had an air defense regiment and a motorized infantry regiment, a helicopter squadron. Against the enemy's helicopter fleet, the SA-6 missiles used by his air defense regiment were more than enough, and the helicopters could also conduct air combat.

It's just that Yamakov doesn't have the courage to face an opponent who seems to be as tall as a mountain. In his heart, he only repeatedly told himself that the fulfillment of the orders given by Commander Fiskov was the most important thing, and if the troops were cut off in his hands, then going to court martial was something to be expected.

Yamakov's ruthlessness directly led to a bloody massacre of a tank battalion of the 78th Tank Division in the rearguard.

The army aviation units of the 309th Division, like other establishments, are still seriously overstaffed. The total number of helicopter gunships that came up in this wave of surprise attacks was 36, most of which were gunships that were common to the whole army, the Thunderbolt Fire Wuzhi-10. A small amount is derived from the TwinBlade, a general-purpose helicopter in Red Alert 3.

This heavy helicopter, which seems a little weird no matter how you look at it, has a parallel cockpit, which is usually the layout of the Wuzhi. It uses a pair of alternating twin rotors, which differ from the front and rear layout of the CH-47, which are distributed on both sides of the upper fuselage. This heavy-duty helicopter has a maximum take-off weight of 51 tons, a maximum suspension of 25 tons, and a maximum cabin load of 22 tons. The powerful four 12,500 horsepower engines not only have high power, but also low fuel consumption, making this rugged-looking big guy can fly 1,000 kilometers with only internal fuel.

Of course, the most perverted thing is that after installing the pylons, this thing can hang 4 19-pack 60mm rocket nests, and then hang two Petrel-90 air-to-air missiles specially used for helicopter combat, and there are actually two 23mm six-barreled Gatling guns that can rotate in the nose. The firepower it can provide is almost as good as that of three Wuzhi-10 Thunderbolts.

Almost as soon as they entered the battlefield, these large helicopter gunships led a vote of Wuzhi-10 junior brothers, which brought great panic to the Soviet army, and the Soviet armored troops who lacked air defense countermeasures were like a herd of sheep trembling under the butcher's knife. The double-edged helicopter mobilized the 23mm cannon in its nose, making a sound like a ripper, and the tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullet easily hit the relatively weak top of the T-64, directly penetrating the tank, and even because the T-64 was not designed to be a very safe automatic loader, these shells with a small caliber easily detonated it, so that a large number of tanks were killed in this way, and the car was destroyed and killed.

Not to be outdone, these medium-sized Wuzhi did not carry many rocket nests, but mostly used AKD-9 anti-tank missiles. These laser-guided missiles, with a range of 7 kilometers, can easily harvest a tank, almost without missing a shot, and the Soviet tanks on the ground have become the targets of its slaughter.

The AKD-9 can penetrate 1400mm of armor, not to mention hitting from the relatively weak armor above, these tanks abandoned by Yamakov quickly became Qi Yiming's experience points.

Just when the helicopter gunships were enjoying their bloody feast, the tank units of the 309th Division Armored Brigade finally followed, and the hideous muzzles of the Type 99 were forward, but a group of Soviet tanks full of holes were found.

Qi Yiming continued to order: "Pursue until all Soviet tanks are turned into scrap metal!" ”
