Chapter 637 Siberian Cold Snap

The enemy began to retreat as expected, and Dong Ku's attack on all fronts could be carried out.

But the offensive will not be here, and all the top brass know very well that this will be the time when the Russian army is desperate. The Russian defenders at this meeting received death orders and would not take half a step back to buy time for evacuation.

Those outdated machines would spare no effort if other countries were to keep them, but Dong Ku didn't care about these backward machines. These are just recycled scrap iron, and it's not worth fighting for scrap iron.

The army is now on surprise and can break through to the enemy's strongest rear line, the Caspian coast, in two days. But the price will not be small, and what you get is nothing more than outdated machinery and guns that you can't use. The only thing of value is food and fuel. None of this can make Dong Ku sacrifice the lives of his soldiers.

At this time, the soldiers of the advance army have almost run in, and the tiger and wolf division is not worth wasting strength for these things. The most important thing is that Dong Ku's actions are aggression now, although under the banner of revenge, after all, this place has been occupied by Tsarist Russia for many years, and it is actually suspected of aggression.

Based on this, in order to avoid the emergence of anti-war sentiment among the soldiers, Dong Ku was unwilling to sacrifice the lives of the soldiers, and when the reasons for war were far-fetched, victory was the only way to calm the various thoughts in the hearts of the soldiers. Therefore, he adopted the method of continuing to press, rather than attacking, so that the victory of the war tends to be stable, although it is a little slower, but the effect will obviously be better.

After a short tunic, the army, in the command, set off.

Shunzi's troops were divided into three routes after the round with Xing Yuan's troops, Xing Yuan's troops were responsible for the eastern part of the Aral Sea and the cities along the estuary of the Syr Darya River, and Shunzi's army divided his troops into two routes, all the way to Tashkent, attacking Dushanbe. Arrive at the handover position with Afghanistan and let the troops show their faces. All the way to Urgench at the southern end of the Aral Sea.

Qu Jungang and Liu Haisong steadily moved forward, sweeping the area between the Caspian Sea and the Aral Sea, and slowly advancing.

With the scheme being determined, the troops rested for two hours, maintaining the artillery and all the armored units. After the follow-up supplies were fully sufficient, the army moved.

Xing Yuan, who attacked the mouth of the Syr Darya River and the Aral Sea, did not have much verbosity, and Han Jie and Meng Zhaocheng were each in charge of a city and launched an artillery attack directly on the positions on the riverbank.

Heavy artillery fire resumed after two hours of silence.

The loud explosion made all the already small defenders tense. The defenders of one place here are only one infantry division, and their mission is to hold out for a day. But everyone knows that such a strong defensive line did not hold up for three hours under enemy shelling, how could they hold it for a day?

But the death order is to retreat at an even pace, they are veterans. Unlike the recruits, this is very clear, so at the beginning of breaking Aki, they did not show the slightest sign of escape, except for concealment.

Shelling, just to pull out a few artillery positions, under the command of helicopters. In less than 20 minutes, all the artillery positions were destroyed.

Han Jie stood in the armored car. Pointing to the dusty place, he ordered: "Stay inside tonight, the attack begins!" ”

With Han Jie's order, the self-propelled artillery followed the tank, and the armored vehicle followed the artillery, raising sand and dust all the way, and rumbling to the front.

The Russian army held out with the determination to die. The artillery positions are gone, and they still won't back down. Molotov cocktails, cluster grenades, anti-tank guns that survived hiding in positions, mortars of 81 caliber were all removed. Quietly watching the tank army rumbling towards them, there was no fear on their faces, and they all held their weapons steadily.

As the tank approached, the anti-tank guns were the first to roar. The bombardment of the thirty surviving anti-tank guns on the positions should not be underestimated. 75 caliber armor-piercing shells, especially the current ones, are not enough to destroy the armor of the T62, but they can blow up the chain rails, blow up those automatic wheels, and paralyze the tank.

At the moment of the artillery fire, all the advancing tanks made an emergency stop, the muzzles of the guns turned rapidly, and in the roaring explosion, they aimed at the position where the fire flashed, and then fired back.

The number of anti-tank guns is too small, especially for tanks in the shelling movement, it is necessary to calculate factors such as speed, so the hit rate is not high. One round of their shelling, one shell did not work, it was annihilated by intensive artillery fire, and without even a chance to fire a second shot, it exploded and became parts.

The bombardment turned the forward positions into a sea of fire, and the sand and dust covered the sky and obscured the view.

The tank shelling ended, did not stop, roared and drove at full speed, straight to the bunker.

They don't need to collapse these sandy bunkers, these have the pyroes behind to solve, they just need to destroy the enemy artillery and let the follow-up armored vehicles and infantry vehicles enter the position.

The Russian machine guns roared in vain, tongues of fire spewed bullets, and the tanks clanged. But it couldn't stop the tanks from advancing.

The tank did not stop, roared onto the first long line, and under the intensive mortar bombardment, rushed into the defense line without care.

As the tank entered, figures pounced out. They were holding bundles of smoking grenades, and after a few steps, there was a boom that kicked up a cloud of sand and dust.

One by one, the figures were beaten into a sieve by the machine guns on the tank, but they still rushed forward one after another, and the grenade was delayed for four seconds, so they had to detonate it early, otherwise, they might not have a chance to pull the fuse.

Molotov cocktails were ignited one by one, and the soldiers rushed to the tank with the burning oil bottles, and then threw the oil bottles while being shot in the body.

As the oil bottle shattered, the flames of hula rose into the air, and most of the entire tank was enveloped in flames.

Molotov cocktails were still effective against tanks in the early days of World War II, when tanks were not very airtight and could burn to the fuel tank or isolate the air inside the tank.

But the design of the T62, these are not problems, the air vents, and the bottom of the hatch out of the tank, including the airtight fuel tank, are not capable of flame work.

Tanks are burning with flames and running fast to keep the flames burning clean as quickly as possible, and to avoid overheating other parts that can ignite.

Their chain rails ran over the figures holding oil bottles, pressing the flames all over the ground, and the machine guns were not as big as the love of you. Culling the Russian army that is rising.

As the number of tanks poured in, these suicidal attacks were completely ineffective. Machine guns, don't worry about hitting your own tank, so, tongues of fire gushing everywhere, bullets densely swept out of all directions. Many people who had just come out of the bunker and had not had time to see the location of the tank were hit by machine guns and fell down covered in blood.

The infantry vehicles rushed into the position in this short minute or two, and then, the back door opened, and the pyros jumped out of the cars, and then one after another fire dragons pounced into the bunker.

A miserable howl rang out as flames erupted, and fiery figures rushed out of cover. Soon, he was suffocated and fell to the ground, and was quickly burned and curled up on the ground.

As soon as the infantry vehicle followed, he left the front of the position with the self-propelled artillery and rushed directly into the depth of the position behind, shielding the pyro soldiers on foot from the rain of bullets and destroying the mortars.

Self-propelled artillery has no attack power. But there are chain rails, they are on the trenches. Crushing back and forth in the position, it has become a luxury for countless Russian troops to leave the trenches. Few grenades were able to be accurately stuffed into the chain rails, so these suicidal Russians had little effect, and when the tanks rushed out of their positions and turned back to continue firing, they were left with only a dozen immobile tanks, but none of them were blown up. It's just that the chain rail is broken.

With the influx of more and more tanks and armored vehicles, the defensive positions here completely crumbled. There were corpses everywhere, charcoal everywhere, and flames from the bunker spewed out of the firing port, and it was clear that there could be no living people inside.

The moment Kyzylorda appeared in front of him. Junko ordered loudly.

The self-propelled guns were raised one by one, and the direction was across the Syr Darya River, not Kyzylorda.

Kyzylorda was already in the palm of his hand, and without the outer line of defense, the tanks had already rushed to the city gates, and the armored vehicles followed closely behind, under artillery fire, rushed into the city.

The number of artillery in the city was limited, and the bombardment of the galloping tanks was undoubtedly a cannon to shoot mosquitoes, and before a few shots could be fired, the tanks had already opened the bunker in front of the city gate and rushed into the city with the explosion of grenades.

Armored vehicles followed, quickly dividing the streets, tanks directly shelled those houses with bunkers, and the anti-aircraft machine guns of armored vehicles also roared, strafing houses on both sides of the streets, giving the enemy no chance for street fighting.

The heavy shelling made another division on the other side of the river miserable, the shells fell, the sand and dust filled the sky, and the soldiers were shocked to death in the bunkers, and within thirty or fifty meters of the explosion point, it was difficult for the creatures to survive, even if they were more than two meters underground.

At the same time that Han Jie attacked Kyzylorda, Meng Zhaocheng entered Baikonur and also shelled the opposite riverbank, preparing to cross the river.

They cleared the remnants of the town with a terrifying pace, and in less than twenty minutes, the town was completely occupied without residents. Most of the houses and buildings are dilapidated, and the Russian army that has not been wiped out is also difficult to survive. When the infantry enters from behind, they will be cleared in a short time.

However, their shelling of the other side of the river was only for show, and they were ordered to cross the river tonight, rest their troops, and rest for the night.

The defenders were terrified by heavy shelling on the other side of the river, believing that the enemy would attack the other side of the river before dark, and that was where their battle would be.

The effect of the shelling is expected to make it difficult for the Russian troops on the other side of the river to sleep all night, but they will definitely not fight back. If you can't defend it, where can you fight back?

When Han Jie and Meng Zhaocheng completed their set goals, leaving the troops to defend the empty towns, and the army began to sweep along the river bank and shelled the other side of the river from time to time, so that the Russian army did not know where they were going to cross the river, Shunzi's left army had already reached Tashkent.

At this time, there were no large number of defenders in Tashkent, and all that could be taken away had been taken away, and even the fuel was transported to the dock with the retreating team.

But the number of troops stationed there was still quite a lot, and there were two divisions of defenders here, defending Tashkent and the river bank to the west, and the order was, again, to hold out for one day.

The moment Junko's troops appeared in Tashkent along the dilapidated positions that had been overturned by artillery fire, the battle broke out violently.

The defenders knew that they could not sell you, and at the same time as they saw the Junko troops, the shelling began.

All the long-range artillery, whether ten or fifteen kilometers, opened fire, and a dense rain of shells rained down on this side.

Junzi's self-propelled artillery and artillery have long been erected, and the forward tanks are just trying to get the coordinates of the opponent's position.

The enemy's artillery fire moved away, and hundreds of artillery pieces on this side immediately roared, and then, they upgraded and took off, rushed through the dust, and pounced on Tashkent.

The predictable interception from the air did not appear, and above the shells flew the helicopters clearly saw the airfield in Tashkent, and not a single plane took off.

"Evacuate clean!"

After confirming that there were no planes at the airfield, the captain of the team directly ordered an attack on the ground troops, so that those artillery positions lost the ability to fire shells.

During the artillery bombardment, there were two loud bangs, and two artillery positions of the Russian army were destroyed, causing the detonation of shells.

The furious shock wave swept through the surrounding kilometers at the moment when the mushroom cloud rose, destroying countless ground facilities and making the visibility in the area almost zero.

The Russian artillery bombardment was far less fierce than the advance army, in which they successfully blew up four tanks, and in the second round of artillery bombardment, all the positions were covered by the artillery fire of the advance army.

The loss of the artillery position, their line of defense was like paper paste, the moment the shelling extended and the helicopter flew towards the airfield, the tank rushed into the position in the dust, and then, the fire dragon of the flamethrower drilled into the firing ports leaking out of the bunker, and the tragic slaughter began.

The recalcitrant Russian troops did not even have a chance to fight, most of them were burned to death by the flames without seeing a figure, and the position became devoid of defenders in an instant, and those who were alive were howling, rushing out of the bunker covered in flames and falling under the clattering machine guns.

Without defensive positions, it is only a matter of time before Tashkent is taken, and in half an hour at most, it will become the garrison of the advance army, the airfield, and helicopters will be moored in the airfield.

At this moment, news came from Calland and Novokuznetsk almost at the same time that the weather temperature had plummeted, and according to the locals of Soviet Russia, it was a time of cooling and entering a bitter cold season.

When Dong Ku received the telegram, he suddenly remembered that in the future, Heilongjiang, Mongolia, and Xinjiang would be affected by an air current around December every year, that is, the Siberian cold current.

The Siberian cold snap can cause temperatures to plummet, accompanied by high winds, snowfall, and the beginning of the fireworks season. This period will be three or four days at most, and when the temperature drops, a cold snap will hit Xinjiang, Mongolia and Heilongjiang.

Although it is affected by the marine climate to a certain extent, the arrival of the cold snap will still cause the fireworks season and heavy snowfall.

"Up to three days ......"

Dong Ku pinched the message, squinted his eyes and muttered...... (To be continued......)
