PS: Bow and thank Mu Xue. Coco's reward, thank you for the double precious monthly ticket voted by n2d.69c.607.3NX.xU.hv children's shoes, thank you!!

Gorelenko was not so shocked by the strength of the advance army, he felt fear, and in his report to the commander-in-chief Meretskov, he explained in detail that the opponent's 1,000 artillery pieces bombarded for two hours without stopping, but did not send troops to fight for positions, there were no enemy troops on the ground, and there were no troops of his own. In addition to the dilapidated position, according to the report of the messenger who ventured to make contact, not a single soldier was missing.

Meretskov was also dumbfounded. How to fight such a battle? The enemy has absolute strength and does not fight for positions, so his strangulation plan has become an ornament, and those small-caliber close defense guns, Maxim and Depp, have become victims of artillery bombardment. The criss-crossing defensive positions and the firepower network supporting each other have no chance to shoot a single bullet, and the enemy is using financial resources to use artillery shells to pile up!

At this moment, he felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. The strength of the enemy, but from the accumulation of shells, it is already not to be underestimated. They have the ability to shell this whole country, and they also have enough shells, which can be transported? Without trains, how many trucks do you need to transport by car alone?

Where did he know that trucks are the most lacking in Dong Ku at present. Dong Ku himself bought only more than 2,000 trucks, and produced only 2,000 heavy trucks, but he has more than 10,000 trucks, and he has all kinds of vehicles. Japan, the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union, miscellaneous, and modified five or six thousand chain-rail trucks, the transportation capacity is not ordinarily strong.

As for the shells. Most of Dong Ku's shells came from Germany and Italy. German artillery shells are guaranteed by the materials of the weapons company, and Lao Xi does not have to spend money on supplies, but he does not have to worry about asking for money to provide artillery shells to the advance army. In this way, he was also very satisfied with the production of artillery shells for the advance army, and the right was to export and sell in exchange for materials. That's oil and all sorts of minerals. Including steel.

The Italian barrel technique is provided by the arms company, although it needs to be paid, but it is not used in cash, and it can be repaid with shells and barrels. But this was not a reason for Italy to spare no effort to supply shells, after all, it was impossible for that skill to buy such a large number of shells.

This was the supply of cannonballs obtained by Dong Ku's negotiation with Major General Field when he left Shanghai, and Du Fei personally made a deal.

When Field sailed in the sea for eight days, anchored on a desert island and waited for four days before finally boarding the battleship Kongo, he felt that the battleship was a little familiar, but he could see it. This battleship without a name, without a mark, is definitely better than the Japanese battleship, better than the British battleship. There is nothing special about artillery, the main gun of 306 caliber and the secondary gun are all 15, and they can do this. But other designs. Including the huge chimney that appears so small on the ship, the turret location leaves a large enough slot deck. Anti-aircraft guns were erected at the edge of the deck, and these designs alone made this battleship much more powerful than Fairy's battleship in terms of self-preservation.

But when he himself watched the battleship gallop on the bridge, and the men with painted faces and flowery uniforms busy, the final speed reported in English was 31 knots. He was not calm at all.

According to Mr. Du, who brought him aboard, in another four months, the warship could reach a speed of 32 knots and a range of 13,000 nautical miles. Become the fastest battlecruiser in the world.

Its protection capability is also superior to that of existing Italian warships, and the firing range of the main gun has reached 51,000 kilometers, and the secondary gun has reached 45,000 kilometers, which is far greater than the range of the artillery in the same period now.

When he heard that two almost identical battleships could be delivered at the same time, Field was excited. After detailed discussions, a total of two battleships, eight destroyers, eight torpedo boats, four aircraft carriers, and a complete and slightly weakly defended large maritime fleet were sold to Italy in their entirety, so that Field did not faint with excitement in the constant self-hypnosis.

Not to mention the data on the paper of these warships, he heard that there was no need to pay for the time being, and he used shells and barrels to pay off the debt in the early stage, and when he made the final payment two years later, he even saved the headquarters, and directly agreed to let Du Fei go to Italy and sign an agreement with Mussolini to deliver all the warships in June 37.

As for the fact that the price of these warships and aircraft carriers is higher than the price of their current counterparts, he does not care at all. After all, the payment will be made after two years, and the money will be repaid at the market price of shells and barrels in the early stage, and those shells and barrels will be profitable.

And also received a batch of steel plate processing, according to the market price to offset the transaction of the battleship. These all determine the reason why he dares to make decisions privately and does not ask the dictatorial Lao Mo. He believed that no matter who it was, he would not let go of such an advanced warship and such a generous payment method.

It is precisely because of this that the shells and barrels of the cannonballs have continuously entered Shanghai and Mongolia, so that the number of shells here in Dongku is sufficient, not to mention, and there is no money spent, or rather, it only spends money on renovating warships, but it has a number of shells comparable to the strength of the country.

Dong Kuzhi said that it was not easy for him to train his soldiers, and now that there were enough shells, he absolutely could not use the lives of his soldiers to fill the big holes in the battlefield. It is precisely because of this that there has been a continuous artillery bombardment, which directly destroyed a span of nearly six kilometers and a depth of five kilometers.

Gorelenko counterattacked for two hours, but he did not even see the opponent's artillery position, and under the intensive bombardment of artillery of the same caliber, he could not even get close to the first three kilometers of the position, and was blown up. Tanks, planes, cavalry, all one result, the other side has no intention of using people to fight them in close combat, the shelling of one color, the use of shells to pile up the results of the battle, and the exchange of shells for the lives of the soldiers on his side.

The front and flanks of the long-range artillery are all self-propelled artillery, and Yu Lei has transferred 600 self-propelled artillery, plus the Shunzi side and Xing Yuan's there, all of which have 2,000 guns, so that the artillery positions here almost have no other defenses, and they will bomb the Soviet Russian troops a few kilometers away, and they will not be able to move forward at all.

In the continuous extension of artillery fire, Gorelenko had no way to deal with the opponent's artillery except for withdrawing the soldiers from the two positions behind. Although it was not occupied by the enemy. But his own soldiers were gone.

Qu Jungang and Liu Haisong did not move at this time, they were waiting, waiting for the enemy to begin to retreat towards the Caspian Sea before launching an attack, at that time, the damage was the least, but the materials obtained were the most. At least most of the war materials can be left.

For such a fierce bombardment of the enemy, Gorelenko had no choice but to wait for the enemy to enter the position and start a melee strangulation.

After receiving Meretskov's report, the bearded man couldn't pay attention either. In the face of absolute strength, all schemes are ineffective. The other party doesn't play tactics with you, it's just that pile of shells, smash with money, and there is no way to fight against such a battle. It is better to say that the range of the opponent's artillery is farther than theirs, two or three kilometers away, and as long as the artillery on their side has just been test-fired, and they do not know whether the road can hit the opponent's position, the opponent's artillery will chase after them and directly destroy the position, just like having sights.

But he did not think about retreating. There is a springboard for a counteroffensive, once lost. Baku was completely exposed under the noses of the other side.

The bombardment continued in the exchange of telegrams, and the shelling had penetrated the depth of the Russian defenses, and even those soldiers who had withdrawn from their positions had to fight for artillery and quickly evacuate. Only machine guns and ammunition were carried, as well as small-caliber close-in anti-aircraft guns.

The rest. can only let the opponent's artillery bombard, and then come back, these designations are scrap metal.

The shells of the second batch of artillery moved forward were mixed with the artillery in the rear, so that the Russians did not distinguish that the artillery was very close to them, and it was completely possible to bombard their positions twenty kilometers deep. Their retreat will be retreated again and again, and they will completely abandon their positions here under the accumulation of shells, so that the defenses will be torn open and cannot be blocked.

Gorelenko had already lost his temper during the shelling, and he could not think of a way to deal with the enemy's shelling. The defense of the positions simply did not hold up under the shelling, and all the originally designed schemes were completely torn apart by simple shelling.

At this time, Dongku has moved to a position close to the front line of the Russian army, and beyond the position here, it will be the Syr Darya River, which is also the real second line of defense of the Russian army. And 100 kilometers away on the left is Tashkent, which is also the only large military airfield of the Russian army on this side.

It was not easy to cover the attack there with the Tien Shan Mountains, so Dongku chose the target in the hilly area of more than 40 kilometers north of Turkestan, and after directly breaking through the Syr Darya River, he attacked Tashkent.

The destruction of the shelling was so severe that in nearly three hours of shelling, the Russian defense line completely collapsed, and a large opening six kilometers long and 112 kilometers deep was completely torn open.

The Russian troops on both sides had already shrunk back and made a defense of Dakouzi's side to prevent the enemy from stretching out the connected tunnels to enter the positions on this side.

But Dong Ku obviously didn't plan to do this, he wouldn't send troops to clear these tunnels, he wanted the defenders here to withdraw automatically and abandon the defensive line.

With the shelling, Junko's first long-range artillery position began to move forward, and in less than an hour, all moved to about a kilometer in front of the position of the second wave of artillery, entering the hilly terrain.

In the tense erection, the shelling did not stop. Helicopters have already gained air supremacy, and from time to time helicopters fly over the positions of the Russian army to guide artillery fire and minimize the number of shells falling in the blank area.

Tanks, armored vehicles and infantry vehicles are ready for the offensive, and self-propelled artillery is closely following the large forces, ready to attack at any moment.

Dong Ku had already received from the helicopters that the enemy troops were gathered around the shelling perimeter, and the maximum range could be covered there, so he ordered the artillery fire to be extended directly, in one step, and no longer bombarded the positions where no one was many.

The Russian army is constantly moving towards the gap, gathering on the other side of the Syr Darya, ready to strangle here. Their artillery could not reach the artillery positions on this side, but they could reach the positions they had lost, so from time to time they shelled their own positions.

Just after being shelled for more than three hours, the other side fired 20,000 or 30,000 shells, and the sound of shells flying suddenly became clear, and I saw a monochrome black shadow falling on the top of the army.

"The other side's artillery fire has extended again!!"

"Dodge shelling!!"

Amid the shouts one by one, the Russian troops who were waiting to rush to the position and engage in close combat with the enemy were looking for concealment. It's a pity, what if they found it? On the bank of the river, there is a defense line built on the riverbank, but they are powerless to resist it, as the shells fall, the loud roar of the bombardment is continuous, and the Russian troops who have not had time to evacuate immediately turn on their backs and be blown away.

With the extension of the artillery fire, the armored troops who had already seen the route of the car overflowed the hilly area, and quickly used explosives to repair several passages that Chu could barely pass through the artillery, and used manual and explosives to fill in the ravines along the way, and the second wave of artillery stopped firing, and slowly began to move forward under the drag of the truck.

Faced with fierce shelling, the Russian army had no aerial reconnaissance, and did not know the situation of the artillery bombardment of the positions behind it, so they couldn't care about it at this time, and they all avoided the sides and back of the shelling, and in the dust in the sky, they only cared about fleeing for their lives, where did they care that the enemy had already entered the front?

Tanks and self-propelled artillery entered the devastated position first, followed by a movement in the direction of the side of the shelling on both sides, and at the same time, advanced forward.

Artillery, when the tanks entered the position and arrived on the banks of the Syr Darya, also slowly stepped on the loose frozen ground and entered the position.

The sappers moved quickly, began to build artillery positions on the banks of the river, cleared the earth, and hurried to the sound of shells flying overhead.

In this fierce shelling of the Russian army, the plan to prepare a positional counteroffensive was aborted again, and Gorelenko jumped like thunder, but in the face of such shelling, he was really helpless.

In just half an hour, the assembled army was blown up and took refuge in all directions, leaving corpses all over the ground and a mess.

At this time, there has been a strange phenomenon in the defense line, and now the position of the shelling, a large number of riots, the Russian army is sniping here with more than 100,000 people, in the chaos, preparing for strangulation.

But the advance army still did not make a ground attack, and the artillery still roared, driving the Russian army to avoid in the distance, away from the smashed positions.

It is believed that in less than an hour, the artillery will be constructed, and the artillery fire will maintain this rhythm and density and continue to bombard. However, there will be more directions, and those positions on the banks of the Syr Darya River.

After gaining a foothold in this gap, he will continue to bombard with artillery, so that all the tactics of the Russian army will be aborted, so that the Russian army will misjudge and his shells will be endless. In this case, as soon as Qu Jun and Liu Haisong attacked, the army here would retreat. (To be continued......)
