Chapter 382: Capture the city of Sayak

At this moment, a distinctive cannon sound suddenly sounded, and a cannonball exploded among the soldiers of the Kokand Army with a firelight, Cheng Hui looked back and found that a Grizzly Bear 1 tank was rumbling onto the bridge deck, and it fired the cannonball just now. Behind the chariot, countless lights staggered and shining, obviously a huge mechanized army was coming, in order not to startle the snake, this ambush was a little far away, but fortunately, at a critical moment, they still caught up.

Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, the special combat team cheered, and Cheng Hui also breathed a long sigh of relief, his task was completed. One by one, the rumbling chariots drove across the Lepser Bridge, rushing towards the Kokand soldiers with a strong murderous aura, looking at these huge steel monsters, the Kokand people were so frightened that they turned around and ran.

"Charge, assault in depth, tear through the enemy's lines with all your might." Sitting in the commanding Grizzly 1 tank, Wang Xiucheng ordered loudly by radio, and the two tank regiments quickly passed the bridge and advanced rapidly towards the depth of the defense line, and then an armored regiment immediately deployed defenses near the bridge.

The breakthrough was made, the whole army broke through, and as the two tank regiments continued to advance and quickly tore through the Kokand army's defense line along the river, the two divisions intending to regain control of the bridge were beaten back and broken by the Wehrmacht because they did not have effective anti-tank weapons.

The Grizzly Bear 1 chariot formed an assault formation and quickly penetrated the position of the Kokand army, and then Wang Xiucheng organized the troops of the chariot regiment to quickly rush towards the city of Sayak without stopping. The city of Sayak is a transportation hub in Kokand, and although there is no railway, there are several roads that lead to all parts of the country, even to Krius, the capital of Kokand.

Wang Xiucheng would not have taken two tank regiments to attack Kerryushy, and in the absence of logistical supplies, the tank regiment simply did not have enough fuel to drive there. Wang Xiucheng's main purpose is the city of Sayak, because this is the largest material supply center on the front line of the Kokand army, which not only has a large amount of food and ammunition, but also 100,000 rifles and more than 300 cannons specially prepared for the front line.

In order to complete this assault, Wang Xiucheng specially brought 50 fuel tanker trucks of the logistics brigade, which were enough for the chariot regiment to attack. The rumbling chariots drove along the dusty dirt roads, disturbing the various small animals on the side of the road, and there had never been a vehicle with an internal combustion engine in the area since the beginning of the world.

Wang Xiucheng leaned out of the command car with his upper body and observed the surroundings with a telescope. Kokand is a very barren place, surrounded by semi-desert terrain, and the arid terrain with little rain makes it impossible to feed anything except goats and camels, and Kokand lives by grazing these two animals.

Seeing the scattered shepherds in the distance sitting on camels, looking at the chariot troops galloping by with frightened eyes, he seemed a little overwhelmed. Wang Xiucheng smashed it, smashed it, and said with thirsty lips that were a little cracked: "This ghost place, if it weren't for the fact that this is a strategic point, the ghost would be willing to occupy this place." ”

Wang Qi, the gunner in the car, smiled when he heard his words: "Deputy military officer, otherwise you think that the Cossacks don't occupy this place because they are poor." ”

Wang Xiucheng touched the roof of the hot car and said: "Tell the troops, speed up, let's go to Sayak City to replenish, we must capture it before dark, otherwise we won't even have water to drink." ”

The Grizzly Bear 1 of the Chinese Empire is different from the older models sold to the Western Continent, and their tracks are equipped with the latest super wear-resistant alloy bearings, and the addition of oil grooves and rubber cushions, these special designs for wear and tear make the tracks last more than 400 kilometers, and do not need any consignment equipment to complete a long-range assault.

The Kokand army was still relying on the ancient and slow method of camels to transmit information, and their speed could not be compared with the chariots, and when the chariot troops led by Wang Xiucheng approached the city, the Kokand defenders stationed in Sayak City were completely unprepared.

Looking at the smoke and dust rising in the distance, the Kokand defenders at the head of the city were a little confused, and they thought that the logistics camel team from the front line had come to receive ammunition supplies, but this scale was too large. As the dust drew closer, and the dark armored chariots showed their hideous faces, the Kokand defenders realized that something was wrong.

Before the defenders could react, the chariot unit at the highest speed had already broken through the gates and entered the city of Sayak. The defenders in the city are all logistics troops, and they don't even have a rifle, let alone any strong combat effectiveness, and they immediately disperse when they see the chariots rushing towards them.

Sayak City is a typical old city in the Middle Continent, the streets are narrow and only a horse-drawn carriage can pass, and the wide chariots cannot pass at all, but these obstacles are nothing in front of the Grizzly Bear 1 chariot, and in the face of the narrow block, they choose to crash directly into the houses and break a way between the houses.

The chariot turret slowly turned, put the barrel behind to avoid being knocked down, and then the hull of the chariot rushed directly to the house, how can these simple houses made of adobe withstand the impact of the steel monster, the chariot easily passed through the house, opening up a new road, seeing the chariot so powerful, those Kokand soldiers were so frightened that their legs weakened, and immediately knelt down and surrendered, and the two chariot regiments took only an hour to completely control the entire Sayak City, and directly took the huge military material reserves here as their own.

Walking out of the command car, the first thing Wang Xiucheng did was to pour a beautiful stream of cold water, in this place of high temperature and drought and lack of water, no water is more difficult than no food. "Replenish the tanks with fuel and cooling water, overhaul the machines, and we will prepare tomorrow to hold back the retreating Kokand army." Wang Xiucheng arranged the defense of the city on the one hand, and asked the logistics personnel to quickly maintain the chariot so as not to cause problems on the battlefield.

The occupation of Sayak City is destined to be a sleepless night for Wang Xiucheng, cleaning up the remaining rebels in the city, dispatching troops to detain prisoners, and counting the seized materials It will take a lot of time, and when the sky is bright the next morning, the exhausted Wang Xiucheng leaned on the chair in the command car and fell asleep for a while.

Wang Xiucheng led the troops back and forth for a day and two nights, and Chen Junhe was also not easy there. At the same time that Wang Xiucheng led two chariot regiments to rush across the Lepser Bridge and attack towards the city of Sayak, Chen Junhe launched a large-scale river crossing operation.

The Wehrmacht troops along the river were firing at full fire, attracting the attention of the Kokand army with a dense rain of bullets, while following Wang Xiucheng's troops, a chariot regiment covered two mechanized infantry regiments across the bridge and detoured towards the flank of the Kokand army.

The Kokand army was concentrating on defending the attack on the other side of the river, and did not expect the enemy to appear in their rear, and waited until the Wehrmacht tank broke into the Kokand army's position, and they woke up like a dream and wanted to resist in panic, but the Kokand army's position had no anti-tank facilities at all, and there was no such weapon, and they were helpless in the face of the heavily armored Grizzly Bear 1 tank.

The Wehrmacht's assault from the flanks played a rather important role, and the unrivaled Kokand army was immediately routed. The rout soon had a ripple effect, and the entire Kokand army's defense along the river collapsed like dominoes, and the soldiers were soon in disarray.

At this time, the Kokand army leaders regretted that they did not blow up the Lepser Bridge early because they couldn't bear it, so that the opponent's chariot troops could play a role, but now it was too late to say anything, they could only withdraw their troops from their positions, hoping to retreat to the nearby key points and continue to organize defense.

Seeing the confusion of the Kokand army, the Wehrmacht infantry on the other side of the river took the opportunity to cross the river, while the trucks of the logistics unit and the tractors of the artillery unit rumbled across the Lepser Bridge.

With this bridge in hand, the whole course of the war was quickened considerably, and in just one night the 4th Panzer Cavalry Corps had all crossed the river, and after a little reorganization of their troops, they led with the chariot regiment as the lead, and the infantry in trucks followed, and the army advanced towards the city of Sayak.

The soldiers of the Kokand army fled frantically, but relying on the two-legged infantry to keep up with the speed of chariots and trucks, the Kokand army had no choice but to keep the small force behind and block the advance of the Wehrmacht.

Before attacking the Kokand army, the joint command gave Chen Junhe a special notice, which said that the geographical conditions of the Kokand country were harsh and the people's customs were fierce, and if too many defeated troops were scattered into the people, it would be very unfavorable to the future rule of the Chinese Empire, so the headquarters asked him to fight as many wars of annihilation as possible and eliminate more Kokand soldiers to create good conditions for his future rule.

It is also because of such a notice that Chen Junhe was cautious in the attack, whenever he saw a blocking force of the Kokand army, the Wehrmacht would first surround it, and then slowly annihilate or force it to surrender to ensure that no enemy escaped, which cost the Wehrmacht a lot of time, and it was because of such a reason that the main force of the Kokand Army was able to escape.

The Kokand army broke all the way and fled, but fortunately they were familiar with the geography and could find those qanats on the road to replenish fresh water, otherwise they would have died of thirst when they fled to the city of Sayak. The Kokand army fled to the city of Sayak with hope, and the military top brass believed that as long as they held there and relied on a large supply of supplies and weapons, they would still be able to hold on for a year and a half, and when it was a long time, the Cossacks would come to their rescue.

However, the ideal is very beautiful, but the reality is very cruel, when the Kokand army approached the city of Sayak, they were greeted by a group of chariots advancing in battle formation. Seeing these steel monsters again, many soldiers of the Kokand army no longer had the courage to resist.
