Chapter 587: Lightning Raid (continued)
By the time Qu's army first entered Novokuznetsk, the battle had turned to cold guns, and the soldiers in the infantry vehicles began to search for the remnants of the enemy in the streets divided by armored vehicles.
In less than an hour, there was a division and a cavalry regiment here, and it is estimated that only a few hundred of the rest fled into the people's houses.
The loudspeaker was still shouting, but the lines had changed.
"Soldiers leave their homes, lay down their weapons, surrender their guns and do not kill......"
In the continuous shouting of several loudspeakers, the doors of the houses were pushed open by the soldiers of the advance army, and the people inside looked at the soldiers who came in in horror, not knowing what to do. But they had no intention of resisting, and the child held the adult's leg, and the adult put his arm around the child's head, allowing the warriors to rummage through the house.
Soviet Russian soldiers disguised as civilians were found out, and soldiers who took off their uniforms one by one, but did not have time to change their shoes, were discovered. Without exception, they were subdued by the soldiers of the advance army with their bare hands, and few resisted.
However, there were those who resisted, but they were all killed, and the bodies were dragged out of the room. And the civilians, who did not even let them leave their homes, turned around and left after the search, put down the printed leaflets in Russian.
Seeing that the Chinese soldiers who came in had no intention of disturbing the people, the frightened civilians felt a little relieved. The daring ones picked up the leaflets to read after the soldiers left.
The content of the leaflet is very simple, saying that do not take in soldiers, fighting a war is a soldier's business, as long as they do not resist and do not provide intelligence to the troops, the advance army will not harm civilians, but once it is found that soldiers are secretly hidden, guns and ammunition are hidden, they will be severely punished.
The civilians of Soviet Russia did not even move the property in the house when they saw the Chinese soldiers searching, nor did they do anything to the beautiful girl, although they did not speak, they were extremely polite, and they closed the door when they went out. Saying that they are enemies is more like a doorman, which makes their frightened hearts a little calmer.
During the search, there were occasional shootouts, but the fighters only killed the resisting Russian soldiers, but did not embarrass the civilians. There hasn't been a riot in the city yet. After a few brief gunshots, the city was declared completely occupied.
Yu Lei also completed the same action there, and after a short search, the army had already withdrawn from the encirclement, and the tanks raised snow and mist in the smoke of gunpowder and continued to attack.
Qu Jun had just stayed here for a regiment and waited for the arrival of the troops behind, while he led the army and continued to attack.
Kiselyysk, located only a few tens of kilometers from Novokuznetsk. and Liu Zhong The nearby one where they were once tied, Mezhdurechensk, must be taken.
News of the enemy's invasion had been received in these two places, but they were told to hold on and not to reinforce them. As a result, the defenders in both places set up positions one after another, and all the artillery was set up, ready to meet the incoming enemy.
Qu Jun had just personally led this unit to Kiselyosk. It's an hour's journey away.
Artillery, except for fifty guns left for temporary defense. The rest moved with the division of troops.
When Zhukov urgently transferred troops to Kiselyysk and prepared to defend there, Qu's army had just arrived with a large army, and the reinforcements, the Soviet Russian cavalry, were at least thirty kilometers away from there.
Far away. The Russian artillery roared, shells flew in the sky, and thick smoke rose from the explosion.
A tank was blown aside by a large-caliber gun at a gallop, the chain rail was blown off and stopped in place. For the rest, no shells have been hit yet.
"Destroy the artillery on the opposite side!"
Qu Jungang did not let the tanks retreat, but ordered direct shelling.
The self-propelled artillery raised its barrels one after another, and when the tank was bombarded by the artillery on the opposite side, flames erupted with a roar, and 300 cannons of 200 caliber fired in unison, and the moment the second round of shells was fired by the opposite artillery, it fell with a bang.
There were several loud bangs, the earth shook violently, and firelight rose into the air several kilometers away.
Dozens of artillery pieces pieced together by the Soviet and Russian troops were all destroyed in a round of bombardment, and the messy shells on the position became an aid to the explosion, so that the violent shock wave not only destroyed the positions outside the city, but even the city wall was blown out of three huge openings, and several houses inside also collapsed, and the dust covered half of the city in the shock wave.
The violent explosion made the tank's charge no longer resist. The Soviet Russian soldiers at the front did not die, but they were also shocked and lost their ability to resist, allowing the chain rails of the tank to press against the still breathing body and run over.
"Surround the city!!"
The threat of artillery was lifted, and Qu Jun just gave the order.
The armored vehicles and infantry vehicles hidden behind started one after another, and the remaining tanks also unfurled, encircling the target.
The paralyzed tank quickly repaired the battlefield at the moment the armored maintenance vehicle arrived, and did not blow up the wheels, but only the chain rail plate was blown up to a section, and it could still fight.
By the time the armored vehicles arrived in the city, the tanks had already rushed into the streets of the city under the explosion of the constant grenades, and the machine guns were mercilessly strafing, harvesting the lives of the Russian soldiers who were still resisting.
The addition of armored vehicles has sharply accelerated the speed of the massacre, and where can those Soviet and Russian soldiers who have not had time to hide in civilian houses withstand such dense machine gun fire? They couldn't even see the enemy's figure, they were splashed with blood from the dense bullets, and their bodies were pierced, or they were simply torn apart.
Immediately after that, they withdrew, and the few with horns began to shout again. However, because of the early knowledge that the enemy was coming, those who could run had already run to the next city, and those who could not run were all hiding at home, hiding in the cellar, listening to the movement outside in horror.
Fighting, it is not a level, although the angle of machine gun fire on armored vehicles and tanks is limited, but infantry vehicles can shoot in almost all directions, which makes those Soviet and Russian soldiers hiding in the houses and corners have nothing to hide, and they are sniped without even a chance to sneak attack.
Inside the infantry vehicle, the muzzles of the guns poking out of the shooting holes slammed inward, making the Soviet Russian soldiers who were dodging miserable, and the grenades could not hurt the enemy, and they could not blow up the iron guy at all. Shooting, and not hitting the people inside, made them depressed and unwilling to fall.
At the moment when the troops dispersed, some people tried to break out of the city, but unfortunately, the surrounding circle was already full of tanks and armored vehicles, and there was no hope of escaping.
Fierce fighting, because many houses are empty. Those Russian soldiers hid and gave up Li and still resisted.
After Qu Jun just entered the city in the command car, after seeing the surrounding blockage through the periscope, he brazenly gave an order: "When you see a resisting house, the tank will bombard it directly!" Infantry do not get off! ”
Receiving the order, the tank turned its gun muzzle with a bang, followed by a shot. The houses ten or fifty meters away, or forty or fifty meters away, were turned into ruins in the loud noise, and the dust made the surrounding dozens of meters dim, and even people could not see them.
The continuous bombardment of dozens of artillery, coupled with the shouting of loudspeakers, those stubborn Soviet and Russian soldiers could not stand it. They don't have cannons, and the Mogan in their hands is simply a burning stick!
So, one by one, the white rose up. Fighting, at this moment there is no suspense.
Waves of Russian soldiers came out of the house, they were not shot, and the guns above their heads were raised, so that they were safe.
The first wave was not shot, which was a signal of hope for the desperate Russian soldiers, who quickly stopped their struggles and held their guns. Leaving the room, going up into the street.
"Put your weapons down. Assemble at the barracks. ”
The loudspeaker kept repeating, and these surrendered Russian soldiers chose to obey the arrangement, escorted by armored vehicles, and walked towards the barracks.
All points have been fully occupied, the building of the political axe agency, the ammunition depot. Supplies, granaries, these were quickly controlled. These places were not attacked by the Huya warriors, and there were still normal reserves of grain and oil, although some of them were transferred, but most of them were still there. Those who fled. Didn't take much away either.
The fierce battle here didn't even take an hour, at best more than twenty minutes, and then it was over. There are too few troops here, not even a brigade, at most two regiments.
The battle here is not as fierce as outside, and the moment the battle starts here, and the effective shot destroys the opponent's artillery, the Russian cavalry is only about thirty kilometers away from here, and they are rushing towards here through the snow. But their movements had long since fallen into the eyes of the scouts who had rushed forward, and after closing the circle, a detachment of 100 armored vehicles and 200 infantry vehicles departed to meet the reinforced cavalry brigade.
The cavalry was galloping wildly in the snowfield, and suddenly an explosion was faintly heard, and all the Russian cavalry immediately beat their horses like flying, and they knew that there was already a battle there.
In the midst of the frantic running, a snow mist suddenly appeared in front of him, rising several meters high like a smoke cannon.
Enemy?
The Soviet and Russian soldiers on dozens of war horses who were fighting stared at the front, but they still did not slow down, but all the guns were in their hands, ready for battle.
They didn't know what they were about to face, and they fought like horses, bravely facing the armored troops.
As the distance quickly closed, they could see what the dark shadows were at the front of the snow fog.
"Armored car !!"
"Prepare grenades!!"
One by one, they didn't slow down. They also believed in the creed that the brave will win when they meet on the next road, and in the earth-shattering sound of Ula, they raised grenades one by one and rushed towards the armored car.
There are still more than 300 meters away, the armored car began to spray tongues of fire, the roof, anti-aircraft machine guns roared, the soldiers stared at the weld, with goggles, holding the anti-aircraft machine gun is a long point of non-stop shooting, a string of bullets sprayed out, hundreds of anti-aircraft machine guns woven into a steel barrage, plus the heavy machine guns on the car, so that the bullet rain is impermeable, and the bomb crashed into the herd.
The rushing horses were like snow irradiated by the scorching sun, melting rapidly, and the steaming heat was sunburned blood-red, so that nothing could be seen in that area.
The Russian cavalry did not stop advancing, nor could it stop, even if the companions in front of them quickly decomposed, even the horses turned into minced meat between breaths, they could not stop advancing.
It's not that they are really so brave and not afraid of death, but in fact, the war horses are running wild, and the war horses behind will not allow you to stop.
The armored car does not need to aim, the bullet is the general direction of strafing, in the continuous shooting, those charging Zama quickly disappeared, killing Ami in a short time, when the two sides collided together, the fighters of the anti-aircraft machine gun returned to the car, the moment the top cover was fastened, the real collision began.
The sound of the clanging cluster, the miserable shouts, and the neighing of the painful horses sounded violently at this moment, and one by one the war horses and their owners were knocked away, and then they were run over by the chain rails. In the splash of bullets, one by one the war horses fell, and whether the owner was still alive or not, they were mercilessly run over by the chain rails that followed.
In the steaming heat, armored vehicles and infantry vehicles were like tigers entering a flock of sheep, passing through without hindrance, and in just ten minutes, an encounter was over.
On both sides of the battle, not a single Russian cavalry was standing, including the war horses. The advance army, except for the color of the armored vehicles changed from grass green to blood red, there were zero casualties...... (To be continued......)
