Chapter 614 Attack on all fronts
The army, in place overnight. Qu Jun had just completed the attack on the Lena River at this time. The two regiments there had artillery, but they could not stop Qu Jungang's surprise attack. When the tank emerged from the woods and appeared in front of the enemy, the rhythm of the battle was controlled by Qu Jungang.
In less than an hour, the armored forces broke through the defensive line and used flamethrowers to break through the fortress defenses of the warehouse, successfully occupying the warehouse, which was also a cave built on the mountain.
Here, the cave is divided into four, all of which are built separately, with a large warehouse for food, military supplies, ammunition, and fuel oil, and a complete ventilation system, which obviously consumes countless manpower and material resources.
The inhabitants of this place died in the fighting. The inhabitants here are all retired veterans, which also extended the originally expected attack time, and the number of people was far more than two regiments, but two divisions.
Those desperate guys also made Qu Jungang furious, and gave the order to quickly strangle and leave no one alive.
There was no distinction between civilians and soldiers, he did not have time, not so many soldiers' lives to sift through, and in the course of the attack, almost all the buildings were destroyed, and he broke through to them only after the scouts had taken control of the holes in the warehouses and resisted the enemy's attack for fifteen minutes.
After clearing the remnants of the enemy, he boiled all the nearly 200 trucks here, loaded them with weapons and ammunition, and delivered them to Lake Baikal first.
Knowing that Qu Jun had just succeeded, thousands of chain-rail trucks went straight there and could return in a day's time.
Qu Jun had just brought in 200 soldiers in a transport helicopter to take over the defense here, and he would return to the battlefield, but he was more than a day behind Yu Lei.
When Qu Jun was just on the way, Yu Lei's army was divided into three routes, and Yu Ke was all the way. Liu Haisong went all the way, with his own way, the self-propelled artillery followed the tank, most of the armored vehicles and infantry vehicles followed, and a small number of people took care of the supply vehicles, when the sky was not yet dawn. Hu rumbling went straight to the front line after the withdrawal of the Russian army.
The attack of the advance army was too sudden, and yesterday there was a big battle in Baikalsk and Xinjiang, and before dawn, the self-propelled artillery had already been erected.
The Russian troops, who had not yet risen, were awakened by the roar in the sky, and in their brief confusion, they shouted in horror one by one. Quickly put on, run wildly out of the tent,
But the cannonballs didn't wait for them to get dressed, and in the panic, the cannonballs fell with a screech.
In the loud roar, the flames immediately annihilated the positions of the Russian army, which were all improvised positions made of trees scattered in the artillery fire. Figures without coats flew in the firelight, and the figures were shattered.
The roar of hundreds of self-propelled artillery pieces destroyed the positions of the Russian army in an instant. Frightened cries and miserable cries for help resounded over the dawn.
Yu Lei at the moment when the self-propelled artillery roared. The order for the assault was given.
In the roar, the tank took the lead, rumbling up the snow and mist in the sky, whistling and rushing towards the area where the fire flickered two or three kilometers away.
The tanks spread out a width of one or two thousand meters and galloped across the plain, hitting the positions of the Russian troops.
Heavy shelling completely paralyzed the Russian army's defenses. Coupled with the fact that there were simply no means of effective defense against artillery shelling, in the midst of the roar, except for unconscious running, there was no order in the combat units.
Their artillery positions fired only one round of artillery fire before they were rushed in by tanks. Fired directly at the artillery.
The loud roar of the bombardment continued to be in pieces, and the Russian artillery positions had no chance to take power, only a few self-propelled guns were blown up, and the tanks broke into the position, and the machine guns continued to strafe, and the chain rails crushed all the four artillery positions, so that thousands of artillery pieces did not even exert their minimum power, and they were set up there alone. The cart full of shells was not even unboxed.
The fierce mecha charge was unstoppable with the assistance of self-propelled artillery, and the hundreds of thousands of troops gathered here immediately collapsed, and the mountains were full of tanks and armored vehicles, and the infantry vehicles chased the figure of the rout, and then, the armed transport planes spat tongues of fire and rained bullets in the sky.
The resistance of the Russian army completely collapsed less than twenty minutes after the start of the offensive, and the ground was full of fleeing figures and mountains full of galloping horses.
The cavalry, in the face of the wreaking havoc of the steel beasts, they were powerless to fight back, and after the addition of helicopters, they could not swarm in groups, and in the strafing fire, they were like blowing up the honeycombs of the swarm, and they scattered and fled for their lives.
Liu Haisong is on the left, Yu Ke is on the right, and the three armies are only a dozen kilometers apart, strangling the fleeing Russian army all the way without hindrance.
Behind them, the army of dogs and eggs was already in place by helicopters and trucks, and they did not bother to rest, followed the pace of the tanks and rushed into the battlefield.
Their entry left the rout soldiers thrown by the armored forces with nowhere to hide, and the moment the army poured in, the Russian troops here ended their fear in the sound of thumping gunfire. They don't have to run for their lives.
As soon as the battle began, the Russian army attacking Novosibirsk collapsed on all fronts, and in the half-hour pursuit, except for those who fled into the mountains and forests, the Russian troops left on the plain would be annihilated, and not a single one could escape.
As soon as the battle began, the bearded man received a telegram. He was shocked in the palace that the enemy's speed of maneuvering far exceeded his estimates, and he did not believe that the enemy's strength exceeded one million, and in the battles of Xinjiang and Belgasque, there were still such strong forces to launch attacks on Central Asia.
"Hold the line at all costs!!"
The bearded man roared.
But before his roar fell, another telegram arrived.
There at Lake Zaisampo, where the enemy troops broke into the territory and were attacking the Oskemen, and the army of Bruzovsk was in danger of being surrounded.
"Stay where you are!!"
The bearded man's eyes were red and he hissed. He knew that once the two armies in Central Asia were defeated, the whole of Central Asia would become a cyst of the enemy. And those assembled legions are still on the way.
In the palace, all the people were silent, they did not dare to squeak, no one dared to anger the bearded man on the verge of rage, only the roar of the bearded man echoed in the palace.
But this was only the beginning of the suffering, and he did not yet have a complete plan on his side, where the enemy army passed through the Tien Shan Mountains, and the telegram that appeared on the border arrived.
How many people are there in the advance army......
Everyone was stunned.
In the current situation of the war, at least 100,000 troops must be required in each place, and with the addition of logistical supplies, it is impossible to play without 200,000. But the advance army attacked in three directions, and had to fight Zhukov in Siberia, and encircled and annihilated 200,000 troops, did they really have more than a million troops?
"Hold the position along the Kashgar Lake!!"
The bearded man didn't know what to shout except for this.
After a short silence, the bearded man tried to calm his anger, stared at the map and ordered: "Order the Seventh Army to send reinforcements to Almaty!" The 8th Army sent reinforcements to Rubtsovsk! ”
"Order the Ninth Army to defend Novosibirsk and hold Paplodar and Omsk!"
"The Tenth Army is building a defensive line in Astana, reinforcing three locations at any time! Order the 11th Army to rush to Almaty, cooperate with the 7th Army to defeat the invading enemy, and wave the army to reinforce Oskemen! ”
With his order, telegrams were sent one after another, and the regiments that were in motion moved one after another, hurrying to the place where the order was intended.
The Seventh Army had thirteen infantry divisions, five tank brigades, and the corps commander Gorelenko. The Seventh Army was originally formed in Leningrad in response to the Finnish War, but at this time it was completed ahead of schedule due to the outbreak of the war with the advance army in Siberia.
Six infantry divisions of the Eighth Army, one tank brigade, one cavalry division, corps commander Sobennikov. The Eighth Army, which was also a product of the Finnish war, was also formed in advance and entered the war in Siberia.
The Ninth Army was eight infantry divisions, the corps commander Chuikov.
The 10th Army had two infantry corps, two mechanized corps, and one cavalry corps, and the corps commander Gorubev. The combat effectiveness of the Tenth Army and the Seventh Army was comparable, slightly worse, and not far behind.
The 11th Army had two infantry corps, one mechanized division, and the corps commander Morozov.
These armies had not been formed for a long time, and the movement took time, so they had not yet reached the combat position. But when they received the order, they marched sharply and hurried to their respective targets.
But the speed of their reinforcements is still slow, after all, it is not the whole army motorized, and the infantry, except for the Ninth Army, which is nearly motorized, the other group armies have the disadvantage of not being able to keep up with the speed of movement.
Dong Ku already knew that the Russian army was converging in Central Asia, and his scouts had compiled this information. That's one of the reasons why he assembled overnight, using all his capacity, to attack this morning. He could not wait for the enemy's large forces to be in place before launching an attack, and the enemy's supplies had arrived, and it was the best time to start the war.
Yu Lei's army moved the fastest, advancing in three directions, each with nearly three divisions of mechanized troops, with 50 armed transport planes and 50 attack planes, and their advance speed was terrifying, chasing the large army stationed in Novosibirsk along the way to Baplodar in the west.
Along the way, the debris and corpses all over the ground were handed over to the infantry who followed behind to clean up, and they were a straight attack.
The troops attacking Oskemen were an army of dogs, Xing Yuan's old team, and of course, Han Jie and Meng Zhaocheng were among them.
Their attacks were just as sharp, with self-propelled artillery, tanks, and armored vehicles, but in much smaller numbers than Yu Lei.
Even so, when the bearded man dispatched his troops, it only took half an hour to break through the Öskmen, and quickly clear the remnants and occupy the Öskmen.
They had cut off the retreat of the Great Army in Rubtsovsk, where six infantry divisions, three tank brigades, and two cavalry divisions were cut off. Once they move westward, they will expose their flanks to Xing Yuan's guns, forcing the Russian troops there to cower and wait for reinforcements to arrive. (To be continued......)
