Everything was ready, the artillery on this bank of the Syr Darya River had been erected, and Qu Jungang and Liu Haisong were also ready to attack.

There are three positions of 300 long-range artillery pieces here, the first will be able to bombard within one kilometer of the enemy's defensive line, the second will move forward by five kilometers, and the third will also be five kilometers. Tanks and armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery have moved to the front of the most rearmost artillery positions, ready to assault at any time.

This arrangement will soon show its power and break through the enemy's defenses in one fell swoop.

Dong Ku followed the army, the headquarters moved forward to the bank of the Syr Darya River, the supply vehicles quickly followed, the helicopters also turned on the artillery here, and the rear position flew to the position close to the ground in the forward movement, ready for a surprise attack.

The artillery fire, which suddenly extended again, directly dealt a devastating blow to both flanks and the retreating Russian army. The enemy's artillery moved so fast that the Russian army really couldn't adapt.

Unable to resist and unable to attack the enemy's artillery positions, at present, the Russian army can only retreat step by step, waiting for the enemy to attack, good melee combat. Gorelenko did not believe that the enemy could shell all the time, day after day, that was unscientific, no matter how many shells they had, they could not win the war with the number of shells, the number was too large.

Dong Ku didn't plan to bombard it with shells all day, shells don't cost money, and the barrel will lose its life, although there are barrels of this caliber that don't cost money, but after all, it's troublesome to transport anything.

At the moment when the helicopters and artillery were all in place, Dong Ku gave the order to attack.

Liu Haisong and Qu Jun couldn't wait any longer, and the artillery position at the back of the sky immediately roared, and then, the troops moved forward in dense clusters on the desert, chasing the shells, and rushed towards the defensive line between the Aral Sea and the Caspian Sea.

The Russian army has long been prepared for the shelling of the advance army. The positions here have been constantly thickened and thickened over the course of several hours.

However, the soil here is sandy, and although it is thick enough for the shells to bombard the head-up frame in a short time, the sand is also more easily blown away by the shock wave than the frozen soil.

As soon as the cannon came down, the sky was covered with sand and dust, and the visibility was like a sandstorm. Even the sky is yellow, and even thirty or fifty meters can't be seen.

The violent shock caused the sand in the tunnel to rise, and the air was immediately filled with sand and dust.

Although the Russian soldiers wore masks to prevent sand, they still had difficulty breathing.

In less than ten minutes, the roaring explosion tore over four or five meters of sand and soil, blowing it into the sky, and from a distance, it looked like a desert was moving, and the entire world was earthy yellow.

The heavy shelling made the Russian troops in the position so uncomfortable that they almost vomited blood. They roughly estimated. The enemy's artillery was at a distance of about thirty kilometers, which was not at all within their reach. The whole situation is again passively bombed, and there is no power to fight back.

The sand and dust made it impossible for the planes to reinforce them, and although the planes from Baku were rushing to Tashkent, to the attacked Aral Sea defenses, they could not get into the sandstorm.

The heavy shelling lasted for about ten minutes, and then intensified.

In the midst of the booming explosion, the artillery fire extended. Bombarded forward.

The design of the defense line is still the same old routine, one by one. Let the extended shells not be wasted at all, all fall on the position, fill in the trenches, lift the sand on the bunkers, and the sand and dust roll, roll and crash into the air. Vast expanses swallowed up the clear sky.

The artillery fire extended by four or five kilometers at once, which surprised the Russian troops who were bombed.

The range of the enemy's artillery is more than 30 kilometers, and the range of the enemy's artillery is about 35 kilometers. For them, this distance is barely enough to fix the battery, and the movement is not even thirty kilometers. Where is it possible to bombard the enemy's artillery positions?

Aircraft air strikes are unthinkable, and the only way to retreat is to retreat important positional defensive weapons, such as artillery, such as machine guns.

As a result of inertial thinking, Qu Jungang's plan succeeded, and the bombardment of the two artillery positions extended five kilometers away. In the midst of a violent explosion, where did the enemy still have the heart to calculate the distance of the shelling?

During the bombardment, tanks and self-propelled artillery, chasing the shells at a speed of forty kilometers, had already penetrated into the area of sand and dust, and then stopped.

It's two kilometers from the front line at most, and although the sand and dust don't obscure the view, it already needs protection to keep it from being blinded.

The self-propelled artillery can also go to the inner position, and when you fire at the third position, the self-propelled artillery will be turned on.

The continuous shelling made the Russian army struggle hard in the dust, and it was not known when the shells would fall on their side.

They didn't have you at the counter, and although they retreated quickly, they still couldn't keep up with the speed of the artillery fire.

"What? The firing range of enemy artillery is more than forty kilometers !? ”

Gorelenko was shocked.

This distance means that it will be impossible for them to fight back, and it is impossible for them to withstand such an attack rich in shells.

Before he could come up with a countermeasure, the defense line over there was all covered by artillery fire, and the density was so great that it was even more powerful than the one on this side, and I was afraid that there would be three or four thousand artillery pieces.

"This ......"

Gorelenko's eyes widened. There are four or five thousand heavy guns on both sides, which is a bit terrifying. If you add close defense guns, mortars, and anti-tank guns, you can still take over when you reach this number, and there will be four or five thousand long-range artillery alone, and that's not all. Moreover, there are so many shells that the enemy does not even have the intention of attacking quickly, it is obvious that he is exchanging territory with shells and smashing the victory of the war with money.

Before he could take a breath of air, news came from the Syr Darya River that made him angry again.

The enemy's artillery was fan-shaped, shelling a distance of thirty kilometers, covering all the surrounding positions, and the density of shells did not decrease at all, they were still so dense, like hitting machine gun bullets.

"How can this be ......?"

A weak frustration rose in Gorelenko's heart, and his fighting spirit was shattered by the continuous shelling. It's not that he doesn't make good use of soldiers, he can be the commander of the legion, and he is not a cabbage. But the other party's shelling made him really useless, and he couldn't counterattack, and he couldn't reach the shot. Aren't you waiting to be bombed?

Soon, the news reached the bearded man, who also felt powerless after receiving a report from the commander-in-chief, Meretskov. The means of war are nothing more than the movement of troops and the design of the war situation, but in this case, what strategy can work? There was not even a chance to charge and fight, twenty or thirty kilometers apart. How to play against?

This kind of attack can be called an over-the-horizon strike, and although it is not a search and positioning, it is also a battle in which you can't see each other and don't even know the effect of the attack.

At the moment when Dong Ku's artillery was fully fired, the helicopter roared into the air and quickly assembled. There were 600 kilograms of aerial bombs hanging under the transport plane, and the inside was full of steel balls the size of walnuts, which exploded and shattered the parts that the tip of the bullet had rushed down, and those steel balls were ejected like artillery shells. Lethality is terrifying just to think about.

Five hundred transport aircraft, two suspended from one. There are also 100 kilograms of small dotted steel ball bombs in the engine room, which will inflict a devastating blow on the ground. This isn't a bomb to bring down buildings or anything. This is purely a bomb developed to kill and injure the enemy's vital power. The principle, naturally, is still the distance of cluster bombs, but they are replaced with solid steel balls.

The escort of 800 helicopter gunships was divided into several waves, separated by a few minutes before and after, and rushed towards Tashkent.

The airfield in Tashkent was full of anti-aircraft artillery at this time, and anti-aircraft weapons were erected around it, and the entire airfield was like a hedgehog. The muzzle of the gun stared at the sky. Defense, it can be described as tight.

Helicopters flying. It was discovered by the air defense guards thirty kilometers from Tashkent, and the phone call was made to the airport.

One attack plane after another took off quickly, roared into the sky, and swooped straight in the direction from which the helicopter had flew. Although they knew that air combat was not possible, they would not sit idly by and watch the enemy's planes bomb the airfield like this.

Along the way, one after another anti-aircraft artillery began to bombard. Shells passed through the fleet.

The moment the pilots saw the anti-aircraft guns on the ground, they avoided them one after another, and while flashing a few flames in the air, they roared and pounced on the positions of these anti-aircraft guns.

In the sound of tom, one anti-aircraft gun after another was blown up by machine guns. In just a few tens of seconds, when the group of planes swept over here, there was no shadow of anti-aircraft artillery on the ground.

But the sneak attack of the Russian army still had a chance to get four helicopters, so to speak, to exchange injuries for injuries and lives for lives.

Just as the formation had experienced the first line of interception, enemy aircraft appeared in view.

At this time, the helicopters of the first echelon were six or seven hundred meters above the ground, and the moment they saw the enemy planes, they scattered one after another and dived down to the ground.

The rapid dive caused the battle formation of the enemy aircraft to change accordingly, and it also refined the dive, rushing down and rushing towards the helicopter in front.

The rapid dive allowed the helicopter to quickly approach the ground, and then, one by one, the volley flipped, and the plane turned left or right sideways when it was close to stability, and circled behind it.

The agility of the helicopter is far from being able to do by attack planes now, and at the moment when the helicopter turned, all the Soviet and Russian pilots realized that it was not a second, and they either pulled up or flipped left and right, trying to detour behind the enemy again.

It's a pity that these dozens of planes didn't have a chance to escape, and at the moment when the helicopter turned, they were doomed to tragedy.

The helicopter that was quickly reversing saw the shadow of the enemy plane after turning around, and immediately, the machine guns and Vulcan cannons were fully fired, and the chain of bullets was drawn towards the enemy plane in the reversal.

A roaring explosion followed, fireworks burst into the sky, and enemy planes were shot down, and they didn't even see the shadow of the enemy, although they tried hard to turn their heads to find it.

As the front came into contact with the enemy, the muzzles of the cabin doors of the transport planes moved one after another, preparing for the attack of enemy planes.

Enemy planes, at the moment of sight of the group, part of them chased the group of planes diving, and part of them looked for the enemy's bombers. Bombers are the ones they want to take care of

But they didn't know what to do, there were also escort attack planes above and below the bomber group, and as soon as they appeared, they saw the group of planes in the distance, and they saw the enemy planes that were diving and spraying tongues of fire.

"Not good, avoid!"

The group immediately scrambled, turning left and right, or diving, trying to dodge the oncoming attack.

However, the dense rain of bullets had already blocked the direction of their advance, and in the midst of the chaotic flight, one plane after another exploded, and in just a few seconds, six or seven of the more than 30 enemy planes escaped from the sky because their comrades in front of them blocked the bullets. But before he was out of danger, he was bitten by a helicopter and chased after his ass and shot angrily, and then brilliant fireworks burst into the sky.

In the fierce fighting of the group, not a single helicopter was damaged, except for four that were shot down by anti-aircraft guns, they were not damaged.

At this time, it was only a few kilometers away from the air defense network of the Russian army, and after destroying the second anti-aircraft artillery position, destroying more than a dozen anti-aircraft guns, a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns, and three planes were shot down again, and they ushered in the second wave of enemy aircraft that took off urgently.

The helicopters that had come together were the first to fire from a long distance. They can hover in the air, they can turn in place, and block them from a distance, so that although the oncoming enemy planes dodge the frontal interception, they cannot avoid the other barrages that block their direction.

In the midst of the roaring explosion, one by one the enemy planes scattered in all directions, chasing the enemy planes that were about to rush into the bomber group, and began to strangle in the air.

At the same time as the battle here, fifty attack planes lowered their altitude and flew straight to the airfield that was still invisible in the distance.

When the shadow of the helicopter appeared, the enemy's anti-aircraft fire was immediately in full swing, and an impermeable barrage was built in the direction of the helicopter's advance, and the anti-aircraft guns also shook rapidly, and the muzzles of the guns were pointed in the direction of the helicopters.

This method is tactically effective against attack aircraft. The turning radius of an attack aircraft is not thirty or fifty meters, and it will be guaranteed to plunge headlong into the barrage and hit the bullet itself.

But the helicopter will stop in the air, and of course it will not get into the barrage in front of it.

At the moment when they saw the flash of fire in front of them, the helicopters that had slowed down hovered one after another, and the tongues of fire from the muzzles of the guns immediately erupted, and a dense rain of bullets sprinkled on the air defense positions in front.

The dense firing of the Vulcan cannon can be called terrifying, and the rain of bullets is absolutely impenetrable. The shells of the machine guns are no longer three or five long bursts, but they are constantly being tommed at you, and in just a few seconds, dozens of shells are fired.

The dense firepower had already enveloped the forward positions before the enemy could react. At the moment when blood mist and debris flew all over the sky, there were not many people alive in the air defense position.

In the roaring explosion, one anti-aircraft machine gun after another was overturned, and one after another anti-aircraft guns were hit by shells.

The dense attack lasted less than ten seconds, and the helicopters left the place one by one, and then the bombers appeared in the air, and then, one bomb after another flew down in the air, and the helicopters also pounced forward in the whistle of the bombs falling.

The dense rain of steel balls immediately blocked the sky over the air defense position, and in the sound of popping and clanging, there were few people still alive in less than a minute.

Under the escort of the attack planes, the transport planes swooped down on the airfield one kilometer away, amid the constant flashes of fire below, bearing in mind that during the rapid flight, 600 kilograms of bombs fell into the sky.

Hundreds of planes dropped bombs together, the sky was full of falling bombs, in just a few seconds, a violent explosion resounded in the sky, although there was no fire at the airport, but there were not many people alive and planes that could fly...... (To be continued......)
