Chapter 644: Fierce Battle in the Caspian Sea (3)

When Qu Jun had just fought a fierce battle with Shunzi, Dong Ku's army broke through the base city below the Aral Sea, quickly assembled and rushed to the rear target of Turkmenbashi.

He followed the route of the Russian army along the edge of Lake Sarekamesh along the Aral Sea through the desert area, and when there were still traces of it, he did not take the road, but went straight to the direction in which the Qu army had just marched, and tried to meet the army when the Qu army had just attacked Turkmenbashi.

His change of course made Gorelenko's interception along the oasis an empty talk, but there were still a large number of enemy troops in front.

Dong Ku's march did not have a moment without fighting, and there was very little free time. These are the troops that withdrew to Turkmenbashi, baggage, supplies, and everything that was thrown everywhere along the way.

Every small unit encounter, if you can't talk about it, it's a massacre. Among them are also civilians.

Casualties were inevitable in the fierce fighting, and when the flashlight shone on the civilians who had cowered in the bunkers after the resistance had worn off, the Russian-speaking soldiers would repeat that they would return home, and the advance army would not harm the civilians.

Then, leave them alone, and let those people decide for themselves whether or not to return to the city in the bitter cold.

Advancing all the way, Dong Ku broke through to a place about 150 kilometers away from Turkmenbashi less than two hours after Qu's army had just finished the battle, and Qu Jungang was one step ahead of him, and there was a fierce battle with the defenders there.

This is the army sent by Gorelenko during the air raid, and the large army that has been stagnant on the march and assembled, there are four tank divisions, four cavalry divisions, and six infantry divisions.

Here they built a defensive line with the intention of intercepting the enemy's advance. But they also know that this battle is just a backlash, not something that can be held.

The air raids have not stopped. The planes were still bombarding the ports and sea of Turkmenbashi, and the enemy army already knew that there was no way out, so it was inevitable to fight for their lives.

The forward reconnaissance team was suddenly ambushed as it advanced, and tongues of fire erupted from the dunes, and mortars roared. By the time the forward team of one battalion sent the news back, their chain-track trucks and motorcycles had all been destroyed, and there was not a single person left, less than three minutes before and after.

Receiving an interception from the enemy in front, Dong Ku's marching ranks stopped. Armored vehicles, tanks, and self-propelled artillery were quickly refueled, and helicopters were also refueled and ready for war.

Dong Ku didn't know the size of the enemy army on the other side of the road, and he didn't dare to be careless to avoid capsizing in the gutter. Let the follow-up squads get close to reconnoiter and prepare for battle.

The reconnaissance team was five or six hundred meters away from the still burning wreckage, saw the figure of the enemy searching for it, and then went around, counting you and the sand dunes, and approached the place where the enemy was ambushed.

They couldn't see the enemy clearly in the night, but they knew the approximate location of the enemy's army, and then. reported the situation to Dong Ku in the back.

Dong Ku received a report and ordered a group of thirty self-propelled guns to approach three kilometers from the burning wreckage. The artillery bombardment began, and the first shot was fired, and then retreated, and a helicopter was ordered to approach and reconnoiter while the shelling was fired, so as to grasp the layout and scale of the enemy, so as to decide on the next step.

The enemy spares no effort against a squad, obviously. They didn't intend to fight with a stick, and their purpose was extremely obvious, that is, to fight, a direct decisive battle.

Dong Ku's order was given, and thirty self-propelled guns drove out. A helicopter took off and hovered in mid-air, waiting for the artillery fire to begin before diving over and approaching to reconnoitre.

The self-propelled artillery came to a halt at the position set by the reconnaissance team, quickly set up the artillery, and after a brief preparation, fired the shells.

As soon as the shell was discharged, except for one person who lowered the muzzle, the others turned around and rushed towards the infantry vehicle, and immediately, all the self-propelled guns and infantry vehicles retreated at full speed, and the flames at the muzzle disappeared, and the surrounding area fell into darkness, rolling up the sand and dust in the sky, and rushed backwards.

The gallop at full speed, in the loud roar in the distance, made them withdraw three or four hundred meters away, and when the shells on the opposite side came, they had already withdrawn a kilometer away, and they were still retreating.

Sure enough, Dong Ku's guess was correct, the enemy immediately returned the color after the first artillery bombardment, hundreds of cannons roared, and the shells tore through the cold air and fell directly within a kilometer of the approximate location. The other side actually came with a wide range of coverage shots.

Shooting, the Yun'a City artillery behind did not keep up, Dong Ku would not let the self-propelled artillery fight with them, and the moment the helicopter saw the fire in the distance and confirmed the approximate coordinates, the helicopter roared up, clinging to the sand dunes, advancing in a roundabout way, and directly hitting the artillery position there. The transport plane took off into the air, and rushed into the air in front of it in the midst of the flames and sand and dust.

In just a few kilometers, the speed of the helicopter was very fast, and when the enemy was shelling for the second time, the target had already been seen, and immediately, the fire was fully fired, and the rain of bullets poured into the position where the fire flashed.

As soon as they opened fire, the Russian anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft artillery roared, and in the dark night, the light of fire was used to guide the direction of the transport aircraft and determine the target.

The transport plane, of course, will not be polite, and with the roar of the opponent's artillery and the sound of the engine muffled, the bomb, volley, is dropped.

The Russian army is a little careless at this time, and their mentality is to lead the enemy to a decisive battle, so, in addition to the reserve firepower points, the front line is not hidden at all, and the intention is extremely simple, the enemy hits here, and the artillery behind covers the front of the position, sacrificing part of it as much as possible, leaving more lives for the enemy.

, but their temporarily constructed position could not defend against the rain of bullets in the air at all, and as soon as the bombs exploded in the sky, the Russian troops on the positions were sad. Such a dense rain of bullets is no worse than a torrential rain, there are no gaps at all, as long as the overhead is not a deduction, not the hatch cover of the tank, they have no chance of survival. Even in the trenches, it could not stop the attack of a dense rain of bullets.

With the explosion of Zhan Dan, the fire of the artillery positions and anti-aircraft artillery positions decreased sharply, and in just a few tens of seconds, the fire of these positions disappeared.

"Keep bombing! The attack aircraft headlights are turned on, looking for targets to strafe! ”

Dong Ku Mei Oh with the order for a raid. This is a desert area, it is difficult to strangle in the sand, the vision is not clear, and it is common to accidentally injure his own people, he has to suppress all the opponent's air defense and long-range artillery, and then come to the surprise attack to avoid damage in the melee.

In the sky, a large light suddenly lit up, and the snowy pillar of light made the Russian army below in an uproar. For the first time, they saw searchlights on the plane. For them, the establishment is a miracle.

Those pillars of light flew quickly, and the tongue of fire at the front made these surprised Russian soldiers understand that there was still a killing weapon hidden behind the pillar of light, and if it was locked by the pillar of light, it would kill people.

Helicopter gunships were seeing heavy weapons on the ground. When there is artillery, they will use machine guns to strafe in the rush, especially trucks, which are the objects of their attention.

As the pillars of light flew by, a large fire rose into the sky, and the tanks hidden behind the position were revealed.

In the firelight. The high-altitude hovering transport planes discovered another position less than two kilometers away, and after their brief report, more than a dozen attack planes swept rapidly at a low altitude, their headlights still on, and they circled left and right to pounce forward. They all left there.

The raising of flares completely exposed this position. The commander also understood. They will be the next target. Sure enough, his prediction was very accurate, and before the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns that fired during the order could escalate the pursuit of the locked and fled, the screams of bombs were heard in the sky.

With the explosion of bombs one after another, this place turned into a living hell in an instant. Those Russian troops next to the artillery, move fast. The luck that got under the car escaped with his life, and most of the rest was annihilated by the rain of steel balls, and in just a few tens of seconds, when the flares fell, there were not too many living people here.

The fierce air strikes made the Russian army, which had not experienced the air raids of the advance army, stunned all of a sudden. Such an air raid was not as loud as it was fired. There is no fear and oppression brought by the roar, but the lethality has hit those high-explosive bombs, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a killing weapon.

When the helicopters succeeded in destroying the opponent's artillery defenses and chasing down the tanks, the self-propelled guns did not fire, but did not move. Tanks and armored vehicles, as well as infantry vehicles, swarmed out and rushed into enemy positions in the distance.

A quick battle, Dong Ku will never give the enemy a chance to breathe, once the enemy army has come to his senses, the intensity of resistance will increase, although the same can be won, but the cost will be much greater.

The fierce air raids made the Russian army panic, and those planes chasing tanks and hunting wantonly didn't care about Depp's strafing, or rather, flying rapidly, and the infantry who didn't have a certain amount of experience really couldn't hit the planes.

The tanks, even more exploded, they could no longer hide behind the dunes, he scattered in the explosion of his companions, hiding from the killers in the air.

At this moment, they don't even have the least ability to fight back, and there is nothing they can do except to be bombed.

The machine gun is really easy to deal with their armor. This is all thanks to the penetrating ability of armor-piercing shells. The armor-piercing shells of these machine guns are specially made, and not only the warheads are steel alloys that have matured, but also warheads of depleted uranium alloys that are not very mature, and their strength is not ordinary. Far sharper than the current armor-piercing shells with built-in explosives against tanks.

The machine gun fired three rounds each time, and the first one was the armor-piercing projectile, and the subsequent two shells could then penetrate the piercing steel armor and explode violently, and the destructive power was quite amazing. Even if you don't get in, it will explode near the bullet hole, and the shock wave will cause some damage to the driver inside the tank. The most important thing is that the armor-piercing shell is powerful enough to destroy the machinery inside the tank, and even break the engine and blow up the shells inside.

And the tank to the helicopter, there is no way at all, they have no other way but to escape.

Just when the opposing tanks were burning into flames one by one and scattering in all directions, the tanks and armored vehicles on this side had already pounced on the position.

The sound of gunfire suddenly intensified, and where the sandy bunker was shelled, the chain rail was directly crushed over, so that the Russian army, who had no time to dodge, was buried alive under the sand, and it was much more difficult to escape because of the soft sand.

The strafing of machine guns was unmatched. Returning fire, the fighters of the advance army, hiding in the armor, did not work at all, and the moment they rushed through the front line and rushed into the tank group, the slaughter began.

The scattered tanks were hit by the bombardment of the helicopters and the moment the opposing tanks pounced, and they burst into flames. The tanks of the advance army did not chase after these fierce battles, but covered the armored vehicles, passed through the tank group, and when the armored vehicles pounced on the cavalry camp in front, they returned and chased down the tanks that could dodge.

The strangulation was officially staged at this moment, and the fierce gunfire made the desert noisy. In the fierce battle, neither side noticed, and to the north of them, a large army galloped up the sand and dust in the sky.

This was Qu Jungang's brigade, and after the battle was over, he handed over the task of cleaning the battlefield to the infantry, and rushed to replenish the fuel.

He received an order from Dong Ku in the rush, Dong Ku was fighting fiercely in front, he needed to bypass the other party's encirclement, eat all the enemy troops in one sentence, and work together to attack Turkmenbashi.

The fact that the enemy has put the front so far shows that there will be interception positions ahead, after all, there are still more than 100 kilometers left. Dong Ku will not let a large number of Russian troops escape, then it will be difficult to find it at that time, and once they attack the weak places in the occupied areas, they will suffer heavy losses.

Qu Jungang's army, guided by the flames in the distance, bypassed the position of the battle, galloped in the desert, and circled behind the firelight.

At the same time that the Qu army had just circled and encircled, the armored vehicles were full of firepower, spraying a rain of bullets, crashing into the cavalry camp, rolling blood mist all the way, and rushing forward without hindrance.

The fierce strangulation made the Russian army really unable to resist, even if it was a confrontation, it had to be able to impress the armor. Their grenade bundles did not have a chance to be thrown, and they were torn apart by a rain of bullets from a distance of 100 meters, and the bombed grenades caused great damage to the surrounding area, causing their companions to be affected by the pond fish.

Infantry, desperately maneuvering between the chain rails, countless figures climbed onto the tank, but could not inflict damage on the tank, and in vain turned grenades were used as hammers, smashing at everything that thought it was possible to open the hatch.

Unequal battles are not fierce, they can only be described as bloody. When Qu Jun had just been fighting fiercely here for about ten minutes, they had already bypassed the fierce battle position and quickly closed the siege to find you.

The real carnage was staged at this moment, and the surrounding tanks and armored vehicles lined up and threw themselves into the flames.

When the Russian army saw the headlights behind them, they completely collapsed. The explosion of a personal bomb also stopped the tanks from moving. When the armored car hits it, it is basically paralyzed, and even if it is not blown up, few people inside are alive.

But this dying struggle does not solve the fundamental problem, and as soon as the air guns are all activated, the sand and soil, no longer scorched, have become blood-red in the sound of gunfire. The destruction of this army will not be long ago, and at this time, it is just the middle of the night. (To be continued......)
