"Help!"

"It's on fire!"

……

With a terrible shout, countless people ran out of their homes frantically, and at this time, the raging tongue of fire had already burned over. Accompanied by a strong wind, the fires flew everywhere, igniting one house after another, and the fire relentlessly devoured everything.

The inhabitants of Akdouka suffered unprecedented devastation, with planes flying over the city from time to time, and bombs raining down on their heads like hailstones.

The flames caused by the explosion raged in the city, and there was no way to stop it, and countless people could only run around, and the most they wanted was to rush out.

However, martial law has been imposed at various intersections, and a large number of Russian soldiers have machine guns, and the muzzles of their guns are aimed at these people.

"Quick, let's get out, let's not wait to die in the city."

"Go back!" In the face of the people's demands, the commander of the Russian army widened his eyes, and he said viciously: "You bastards, go back honestly, don't challenge my patience, or I will kill you." ”

"Kill me if you have the ability, you damned bandits, the Russians get out of our land!"

A middle-aged man suddenly shouted loudly, and he rushed towards the Russian army desperately, getting closer and closer to the Russians. Suddenly, the muzzle of the gun suddenly spat out tongues of fire, and countless blood flowers suddenly appeared on the big man's chest, and his chest was shattered, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Seeing this person's tragic death, the other Central Asians couldn't stand it anymore, and rushed towards the Russian army frantically, staying to be blown up and killed, and being killed was also death.

These people suddenly forgot their humility and cowardice, and rushed towards the Russians as if they were dead. At this time, the machine guns of the Russian army finally sounded, and the people who led the charge were killed one after another.

When it comes to killing, the Russians never relent, and the battle has already been fired and killed. They can't let these people escape. Not only will they disturb the order, but they may even bring the situation out of the city. You know, Central Asians and Russians are not of the same mind.

The gunfire gradually subsided, the smoke cleared, and a pungent smell of blood rushed into the nostrils. There were hundreds of corpses piled up on the ground, and some people were lucky not to die, moaning in pain. After some killing, the Russians gradually calmed down, and they drove the people back. Brutal killing is the seed of hatred, and the eyes of these people are full of poisonous light. Staring at the Russian soldiers.

Just as they were escorting these civilians, suddenly a herald ran over panting, and said with a change of face: "The big thing is not good, the Chinese have killed it, go and defend it!" ”

The Russian soldiers heard this. It was also a big shock, they really couldn't imagine it. How could it come so quickly. Didn't you just break through the Alashan Pass, how did you get to the front in a blink of an eye, could it be that the Chinese fell from the sky?

However, no matter how much they doubted, the order from their superiors had been given, and the Russian soldiers panicked and threw themselves into the front line of the battle. At this time, they encountered the most terrifying scene in their lives.

On the distant horizon, streaks of sand and dust appeared. Obscuring the sky and the sun, with a rumbling roar, huge tanks rushed towards them. The high muzzle is full of liliang feeling, wild. Fierce, majestic, blended together. In the face of this modern war machine, any resistance is humble.

The Russians are also equipped with tanks, but they are nothing compared to the tanks in front of them. Their opinion is not wrong, the main tank used by Zhang Henian this time is already the second-generation main battle tank newly developed by China.

The basic tonnage of the original tank was between 10 and 15 tons, which was about the same as that of the T26. The tonnage of the second-generation tank was increased to about 27 tons, which was almost twice as large.

Larger tanks mean they can be equipped with larger caliber guns, and this batch of tanks is already equipped with 30 times the diameter of the 76 main guns. Looking at Shijie countries, their tank main guns generally stay between 40 and 50 mm, and China has undoubtedly taken a big step ahead of schedule.

China was also the first to adopt a sloping deck, a Christie suspension system, and an oversized track with a width of 50 centimeters. In addition, China and Germany also engaged in joint research and development, and jointly developed a 12-cylinder diesel engine with a horsepower of 400, which was also proud of its contemporaries.

Thanks to the powerful engine, the new tank can reach 40 kilometers on the road and 32 kilometers per hour off-road. By all accounts, the new generation of tanks is already quite close to the Soviet T34. There is no doubt that the T34 was also a well-designed tank at the beginning of World War II.

And in the super war of attrition between the great powers, Soviet-made tanks proved their strength with their achievements. The new tank actually took shape in about 23 years and began to be equipped on a small scale among the troops.

Obviously, this kind of tank, which is significantly ahead of Shijie, is not so easy to come up with, and problems continue to arise during testing, and it is constantly fed back to the military factory, and then it is constantly improved. For example, the original 60-degree inclined armor was changed to a 45-degree one, which made it more capable of rebounding shells and strengthened defense.

Of course, the biggest improvement is the problem of comfort, and the early tanks can torture the driver to death, which shows how bad this tank is. Soviet-made tanks are also notorious in this regard, don't think that comfort is a small matter, it is directly related to the ability of the armored corps to continue fighting.

The Chinese side also worked hard, and finally this type of tank was finalized in 26 years and named the Snow Leopard Tank. After two years, the main force of the Guards Division was basically redressed.

The Central Asian battlefield was the debut of the "Snow Leopard", and soon after the start of the war, the soldiers developed a strong love for this tank. First of all, the snow leopard is comfortable, excellent off-road performance, facing the yellow sand of Central Asia, the snow leopard is like walking on the ground, and the 50 cm wide track provides strong support ability, and can easily cross one sand dune after another, without worrying about trapping.

And the 76-mm main gun has a lethal effect on any fortifications of the Russian army, as long as it is directly hit by a shell, all the fortifications will be crushed. And the outstanding defense ability can easily block shrapnel, even small-caliber artillery.

Strong firepower, high speed, outstanding protection. And also relatively comfortable, this is simply the perfect fighter. More than 200 "snow leopards" rushed to the forefront of the whole army.

When these tanks appeared on the periphery of Akdouka, the Russian soldiers guarding were stunned, and the tank crews did not hesitate, they drove the steel chariots and rushed over quickly. The shells exploded next to the Russians, and death befell them.

More and more Russians were killed, and with a charge, the position was cut into several sections, and the follow-up troops divided and surrounded them. Then eat it quickly.

Originally, the Russian army guarding Akdouka had a brigade, but within two hours, thousands of people were killed, another 2,000 escaped, and the rest became prisoners of the Chinese army.

Until they are caught. These people were still dazed, and they didn't expect them to be so vulnerable. In the face of the Chinese army. There was no resistance at all. However, Zhang Henian didn't care about them, speed was the life of the armored soldiers, and he didn't wait for Akdouka to completely settle down, so he immediately reorganized the army and marched towards a target.

The Chinese army entered Central Asia, and a boulder fell into the water. A huge wave has been set off, and the whole of Central Asia is under influence, and people from all walks of life are ready to move.

As early as the Han Dynasty, Central Asia had in-depth exchanges with China. In fact, the history of Central Asia is much longer than that of Russia. There have also been many powerful states here, and after the Tsar forcibly annexed it, the resistance has not stopped.

Especially after 1916, the Basmachi movement arose here, and the so-called Basmachi means bandits. Central Asia has always had a tradition of plundering, and the Tsar called the troublemakers Basmachi for the convenience of suppression.

After the Russian Revolution, this liliang quickly turned into a national independence movement, which tried to secede from Russia, restore its former glory, and establish its own state. They fought against the Russians in a constant whirlwind, and both sides won and lost each other, which lasted for more than ten years.

As Russia grew stronger, the country became more and more stable, and the intensity of the blow became more and more alarming. They can only retreat to hilly and mountainous areas, as well as desert areas, to protect their safety. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that they have failed, and even the British, who were once the financiers, are unwilling to help them.

At this time of life and death, the Chinese suddenly reached out. Just after Yang Yuting's visit to Xinjiang, he decided on a policy of supporting the Central Asian national movement, using these people to drain Russia's energy, and at the same time paving the way for China's actions.

China's main support is Junaid Khan, he is the prince of Central Asia, with a large number of troops in his hands, originally they were not the same as the bandit-born Basmaqi, but because of the common enemy, Junaid Khan gradually merged with Basmaqi.

With Chinese funding, Junaid Khan quickly bought off a large number of Basmachi leaders, and his army grew rapidly to more than 20,000 men. And after receiving the arms provided by China, their equipment has been greatly improved.

These fierce bandits have long been eager to try, and the Chinese army has entered Central Asia, like a spark, completely igniting a pile of dry firewood. The bandits, who had retreated into the desert and the mountains, came out again.

Because Russia's forced agricultural collectivization movement has had a great impact on local people's livelihoods, many people are dissatisfied with Russia, but they dare to be angry.

Now that there are those who take the lead, these people do not hesitate to side with Basmachi. In just a few days, Junaid Khan's ranks had expanded by more than a normal amount.

These bandits did little in a head-to-head confrontation, but they were enough to cause chaos for the Russians. They attacked trade routes, slaughtered the Russian populace, and even attacked local governments. As long as the members of the majority party are caught, they will not hesitate to kill them and create a strong terror.

After a series of slaughters, Junaid Khan's forces took control of the Pamirs in the east, the Caspian coast in the west, and the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers in the north. This area is about one-third the size of Central Asia. Although the terrain is rugged, it is the commanding height of the whole of Central Asia, controlling Central Asia in the west, Afghanistan and South Asia in the south, approaching Iran and other places in the west, and extending the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau outward in the east.

This area is the heart of Asia and has unrivalled value. Completely in the hands of a group of bandits, the Russians, of course, were not reconciled, but what could they do!

The Russians had even more trouble, and after Zhang Henian had captured Akdouka, he simply took a break and began to march north to seize more land.

In the long yellow sand, China's iron and steel heroes are advancing rapidly. Everywhere they passed, the Russians fled in disarray.

"Good news!"

Yang Yuting took the battle report, walked up to Zhang Tinglan excitedly, and said with a smile: "Zhang Henian has started to win a good start in Central Asia. ”

Zhang Tinglan was still looking at the war report in the Far East just now, the Russians were attacking more and more fiercely, the pressure on China was very huge, but he couldn't draw troops at hand, Zhang Tinglan was also a little worried.

At this time, with the news of the victory, Zhang Tinglan also seemed to have taken a shot in the arm, and hurriedly said with a smile: "What is the situation in Central Asia?" ”

"It's better than we thought, the Russians are quite weak in Shili in Central Asia, and they didn't expect us to attack from here. Zhang Henian and his team have been in Central Asia for five days, and they have eliminated and captured more than 20,000 Russian troops, and the Russian troops on the border have been swept away. They have seized Akdouka and, by maneuvering by rail, have seized Sayak and Balkhash, followed by Karaganda and Astana. If it goes well, within half a month, Central Asia will fall into our hands. ”

"How's the logistics?"

Armored Liliang looks majestic, in fact, it is a monster that devours materials, especially not only armored troops, but also Liliang in the air has to keep up. Two or three hundred tanks a day, and nearly a thousand other vehicles, are like oil-swallowing tigers when they start. To a certain extent, the war in Central Asia is a logistics war, which is why Zhang Tinglan asked this question.

"Don't worry, since the Lanxin Railway was built, with our support capabilities, we can maintain the combat needs of at least 100,000 people. Although there is no railway connection from Xinjiang to Central Asia, we have recruited a large number of people. In particular, the common people in Central Asia hated the Russians and took the initiative to help us, which was unexpected, and with their help, the logistical pressure was reduced a lot. ”

"Do the people of Central Asia really hate Russia so much?"

"No, it's just that there are a lot of people who have been robbed of their land, they are all local magnates, they have some appeal, and there are also some religious elders who are dissatisfied with the Russians because of their faith."

Zhang Tinglan nodded, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Since the people's hearts are available, we might as well burn another fire." Go and draw up a list of Central Asian princes, canonize them at once, and encourage them to jump out against Russia. (To be continued......)
