Chapter 641: Fierce Collision
The calculations of the Japanese army are unknown, but Dong Ku's attack reached its maximum at about ten o'clock in the evening, when the bitter cold had officially risen.
Qu Jun had just taken Aktau and had a short rest for half an hour, replenished his fuel, ignored the villages and towns in the direction of the Aral Sea, and followed the edge of the Caspian Sea and went straight to Turkmenbashi. As for the corpses covered in Aktau, they were handed over to the infantry who followed behind, as well as the remnants of the enemy who had not been completely cleared, and the cleaning of the materials was also handed over to the follow-up infantry to deal with, and they were about to attack.
By this time, the army in the middle had broken through the line of defense and was marching towards Nukus on the south side of the Aral Sea, and at this time, it was already approaching there, and after breaking through here, the two surrounding cities were swept away, and behind this oasis was no man's land two hundred kilometers away, until the edge of the Caspian Sea.
The air raids did not stop in the bitter cold. Turkmenbashi was already in a mess at this time. The air raids by enemy planes were very damaging, and they not only dropped bombs designed to kill people, but also directly attacked ships on the sea.
The big barge could not stop the artillery attack on the plane, although there were anti-aircraft machine guns, but the opponent's plane flickered and stopped, and even the trajectory could not be mastered, and the artillery was extremely powerful, and as soon as a big hole was pierced, the barge could not be rescued after a few shots, and it was doomed to sink.
At this time, the sea surface was already a layer of debris and a layer of corpses. Those Russian troops who fell into the water held out for less than twenty or thirty minutes before they froze, floating on the sea surface one by one, making the sea surface like land, and the sea could not be built.
The attack planes that came to escort the escort came in waves, were shot down in waves, and dozens of planes were shot down into the sea, and they could not stop the air raids at all.
Due to the rapid reduction in the number of ships, the throughput of the dock has been paralyzed, and those Russian troops cannot board the ships, so they can only huddle on the dock, waiting painfully and anxiously.
Gorelenko still did not leave. He had already realized in the waves of air raids that the enemy was going to leave them behind, to leave the large forces here. Although he has no fighting spirit, he will not stand still. At the moment when the fourth wave of air raids arrived and the docks were littered with corpses, he brazenly ordered. All the troops left the harbor and defended the perimeter to fight the enemy to the death.
At this time, if you don't work hard, you will die, and if you can't live hard, you can also pull on the back, right?
With his order, the surrounding troops who were waiting to be evacuated moved one after another, and the crowd poured out, and groups picked up their guns at the shouts of the commanders. The ammunition that had been loaded into the truck began to be unloaded, carried, and rushed to the surrounding layers of positions.
They're going to fight hard.
Dong Ku's central army did not encounter the slightest obstacle in the attack on Nukus, and the attack took only half an hour to enter Nukus and complete the clean-up work.
When the army attacked Nukus, it had already divided its forces, and rushed to Dashaguz and Urgench on both sides, at the same time that the army entered Nuscu. The other two armies also broke into the city.
The rapid strangulation lasted only a dozen minutes, as the follow-up infantry followed. When Xing Yuan's second humming generals, Han Jie and Meng Zhaocheng, arrived after completing their mission, they had already begun to assemble to replenish fuel and prepare for a long-distance attack.
They were still more than 200 kilometers away from the target, nearly 300 kilometers, and Qu Jungang was not much closer, only Shunzi was a little farther away. And the towns are dense, and there are important towns, and the speed of attack will be much slower.
Dong Ku's rapid attack allowed the only remaining defensive line in the frontal position to be successfully broken through, and it took only half an hour. There's a tank corps here. The strength of the two infantry corps, although the battle was fierce, broke through and did not take too long.
The painful rapid advance forced Gorelenko to make desperate movements, and those troops who were still rushing threw down their baggage, defended on the spot, and no longer rushed to the docks, they could not walk, only a battle.
Qu's army had just left Aktau less than thirty kilometers when they encountered a large army that had rushed to Aktau and learned that it had fallen and defended on the spot.
This large army all added up to more than four cavalry divisions, two tank divisions, and a heavy artillery brigade. Their artillery did not have time to build a position, but the close defense artillery was erected one after another, and they did not hold their positions to the death, and they all knew that defense was of little use to the advance army with strong firepower.
So, the tank army assembled on this front, and after it was stabilized, in the cold night, the headlights were all turned off, and they waited at the front of the position, waiting for the appearance of Dizhen. The cavalry also mounted one after another, each carrying a bundle of grenades, and they were to use the simplest, but most brutal way, to send them to the tanks in the most brutal way, and to carry out the explosions in close regard.
The reason why Qu Jungang assembled as quickly as possible was that one of his forward squads had already seen the enemy army gathering, so he would not let the enemy gain a firm foothold, and he would crush this force before the enemy completed the stabilization of the position.
Thirty kilometers, for the armored troops, it is only more than half an hour, on the enemy's close defense artillery mount, the moment the tanks gathered to the front of the position, Qu Jungang's army has already spread out, roaring and rushing over, when the enemy is less than a kilometer, and the forward reconnaissance team wants to converge, and then, the self-propelled artillery has been erected, and in less than five minutes, the preparation before the bombardment has been completed.
At this time, the enemy's tanks were still moving densely to the front of the position, their motors covering the faint sound of motors in the distance, allowing Qu Jungang's army to have time to set up artillery.
As Qu Jungang's order was issued, hundreds of self-propelled artillery roared neatly, and a piece of shells whistled and flew forward.
"The enemy is coming! Charge!! ”
The moment the distant light of fire appeared, the commander of the enemy army shouted loudly and gave the order to attack.
The moment the screech of the shells flew, the close defense guns here fired flares, and at the same time, launched an artillery attack on the distant firelight.
The flares had just been lifted into the air, the shells were still flying, the tanks began to roar, and the moment they charged forward, the shells fell with a bang.
The artillery bombardment is not effective shooting, but the power of the 200 caliber artillery bombardment is also absolutely strong, and the fall of the shells directly shatters the tank, and the fire lights up the night sky.
With a loud bang, the sand and dust obscured the sky, dimming the light of the fire that had just been lit.
The shells on this side also fell on the self-propelled artillery, and in the loud roar, the soldiers who controlled the cannon behind the self-propelled artillery were hit by shrapnel and air waves, and fell in a pool of blood.
But more fighters had already finished reloading and fired shells in the blaster.
The shelling only attracted the enemy's firepower, and the self-propelled artillery stood very open, so the intensive shelling did not destroy too many self-propelled artillery, but the damage to the personnel was very large.
But by this moment, the tanks and armored vehicles had already come out of the blue, and in the sky of goods, in the faint light, the bombardment was roaring, and they rushed into the enemy's tank group.
Drunk approaching, I saw a dark shadow without lighting, and although the sight was not good, it did not delay aiming and shooting. As the turret turned, the shells flew out one by one, and with it, the fire rose rapidly, still bright in the dusty night sky.
The fire lit up everything around it, so that both sides were not invisible, and the shelling began, and the battle of tanks broke out at this moment.
The weak firepower of the Soviet Russian tanks has been explained by the secret, but they are still fearless in their death-defying charge, shooting at close range, ignoring the fact that they will collide at any time.
The tanks of the advance army were even more like that, without stopping, rushing straight into the enemy's camp, and at the moment when the self-propelled artillery extended the fire, one by one the tanks of the Russian army were bombed and rushed to the horses that were galloping behind.
The Russian tanks were depressed at this time and wanted to vomit blood, their shelling did not work at all, and if a cannon hit it, it was at most a sound, and then in the firelight, the enemy's tank muzzle moved, and with a bang, their iron cavalry was shattered.
Passing the T62, piles of flames burned in the sandstorm, and in the distant roar, the tank passed through the enemy line in just a few minutes.
The hatch of the armored car behind the team has been opened, the machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns have been ready, and at the moment when the tanks have turned over and returned to continue to entangle with the enemy tanks, they are like sharp arrows, rushing out of the area of the tank battle, and then moving forward, the heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns roared.
The dense bullets formed a barrage of steel nets, and as the shells swept overhead, they crashed into the galloping horses.
The collision of steel and flesh and blood roared up a blood mist in the sky, and the horses fell in pieces, and in the process of overturning, they quickly turned into plasma and minced meat.
The grenades in their hands were blasted by a barrage of bullets, and the roar sent the blood mist high into the air, and the shrapnel tore apart everything behind and around it in the steam.
The armored vehicles continued to rush forward without stopping, and their target was determined, which was the enemy position revealed in the fire of the shell explosion in front of them.
Behind them, the tanks have been battled into a group, the tanks of the Russian army and the tanks of the advance army are very easy to identify, and the reminders are not the same, one is less than thirty tons, and the other is thirty-five or six tons, but even so, it is a test of the commander's eyesight, otherwise, even if there is a burning tank lighting, it is possible to accidentally injure his own people.
The fierce collision reached its peak at this moment, the artillery of the advance army not only has an elevation angle adjustment, but also a stabilizer, in the battle, the speed is not a little bit faster, often the opponent has a shell, this side has already completed the two rounds, plus the difference in the number of shells carried, in less than ten minutes, the Russian tanks have shells that have not been missed, and they have to withdraw from the battle, trying to flee to the rear and replenish ammunition. But where can they escape?
In the loud roar, the tanks of the advance army quickly strangled the enemy tanks, and destroyed the tanks that had already retreated and had not had time to withdraw from the battle.
And the armored car, also in the blood fog in the sky, the machine gun sprayed tongues of fire and crashed into the enemy's position, and the self-propelled artillery also stopped shelling at this moment, slowly lowered the muzzle, and roared forward...... (To be continued......)
