"Ahem!" Zhang Zizhong was choked by a burst of gunpowder smoke and coughed, and spit out a mouthful of turbid phlegm, which was all bloodshot. He hadn't drunk water for an unknown amount of time, and his throat felt like it was on fire.

It's just that he didn't dare to expect to drink a sip of water at all, and the Russians came again, and the cannon rumbled. The land on the battlefield has been repeatedly plowed by shells from both sides. There were still a lot of corpses on the ground that had not had time to be cleaned up, all of them were bombarded and turned into a pile of debris.

To put it bluntly, every inch of land is full of flesh and blood, and both China and Russia have already played with their lives. Half a month has passed since the battle between the two sides around the Baikal defense line.

The Russians exhausted all means, but advanced as far as ten kilometers forward, and there was still some distance to break through the defensive line. But bad news from the Central Asian direction has already arrived, and Yegorov and others are feeling a heavy pressure.

What to do? If the Far East has not yet broken through, the army will be dragged here, and once Central Asia is lost, the Chinese army can easily cut off the Trans-Siberian Railway with aircraft alone, and by that time, they will be kites with broken lines, and life and death will be in the hands of others.

But Yegorov also knew that there was no possibility of them retreating, otherwise the Chinese army would be pushed from the Far East, and the Asian part of Russia would be mortally threatened.

In fact, until now, Yegorov has also regretted it a little, they still underestimated China too much, and they will fall into the current situation.

Yegorov could only desperately ask for troops, weapons, and supplies on the one hand, and attack the Chinese army with all his might, as long as the troops in front of him were killed, perhaps he could also move back to the initiative on the battlefield.

In fact, for opponents like China and Russia, who have super thick blood. A bad start is nothing, the most important thing is to grit your teeth and hold on. Yegorov also frequently went to the front line to boost morale.

"Comrade Yakil, do you think you can be sure of a quick solution to the enemy in front of you?"

"Comrade Commander, I am very confident!" Yakir said loudly, "After a long battle, their attrition has been very serious, and the soldiers are extremely tired. I think that the armor Liliang should be concentrated, break through the frontal and completely defeat the Chinese army. ”

Egorov thought for a moment, then nodded: "In the field of armored liliang." Maybe we should learn from the Chinese! ”

……

In the hazy sky, there was a rare glimmer of tranquility on the battlefield, and the extremely tired soldiers all slept soundly on the trenches. But each of them held their guns tightly in their hands, as if all they needed was to sound the guns. They can jump right into the fray.

"Wake up!" Song Zheyuan patted Zhang Zizhong on the shoulder, and Zhang Zizhong woke up suddenly. Hurriedly looked up. I saw Song Zheyuan squatting next to the trench with a smile, holding a big watermelon in his hand.

"Old Song, where did you get it?"

"Don't worry about it, hurry up and crack it open, let's eat together."

Zhang Zizhong swallowed a mouthful of foam with difficulty and rubbed his hands: "Just let's eat." I'm afraid it's not okay? ”

"Of course it's not the two of us, do you see if everyone else has it?"

Zhang Zizhong looked around, and almost all the soldiers brought by Song Zheyuan came over with watermelons and shared them with the soldiers stationed on the battlefield. Everyone can't wait. Some cut it with a dagger, and some smashed the watermelon directly, and ate it in a big gulp, with juice flowing down their mouths, so unpleasant. Zhang Zizhong was not polite, raised his palm, and smashed the watermelon open.

Fresh watermelon, still with dew, a bite, the sweet juice flowed directly to the heart, Zhang Zizhong wolf swallowed, less than five minutes, half of the watermelon into the stomach.

"Refreshing, I've never eaten such a delicious watermelon."

Song Zheyuan also jumped into the trench and couldn't help but say: "It has been detected from above, the Russians are concentrating their forces on a large scale, and I am afraid that a bloody battle is just around the corner." ”

"Hey. These Russians are simply crazy, they don't take their lives seriously at all, my regiment has been consumed at least two-thirds, and if it were placed in the country, I am afraid that it would have collapsed long ago. It's just that at this time, you can't lose this person, your head has a scar the size of a bowl, and you have to hold on to everything. ”

Song Zheyuan also nodded: "That's right, I heard that Zhang Henian's troops have entered Central Asia, and the Russians won't be rampant for long......"

Before they finished speaking, the cannon roared in the distance, and one shell after another smashed towards the position, and Zhang Zizhong and Song Zheyuan skillfully entered the anti-artillery hole to dodge.

At this moment, a heavy shell landed near the trench, and the three unlucky people who had just finished eating watermelon were all killed. The battle was so cruel that the Russian artillery fire became more and more intense, and the shells smashed on the ground like heavy hammers, causing huge craters, like the scars of the earth, which were hideous and terrible.

Before the shelling was over, the Polar Bear offensive began, with forty or fifty T26 tanks rushing ahead. The tank crews don't care about any losses anymore, they have only one thought, which is to keep rushing!

The engine roared, and at this time, more than two dozen tanks appeared on the Chinese position, rushing towards the Russians.

New Snow Leopard tanks were sent in the direction of Central Asia, and these tanks were old models. However, some improvements have been made, especially the replacement of the long-barreled gun, which can not only hit farther, but also more accurately.

In fact, according to some accounts, the effective firing distance of the early T26 was only 300 meters, and beyond this distance, it would be inaccurate. The tanks of both sides were getting closer and closer, and just when there were still 500 meters left, the Chinese tanks opened fire first.

A T26 happened to be hit in the frontal armor, and with a huge explosion, the turret of the tank was immediately knocked away, and the Russian soldiers inside were naturally not spared.

A succession of Russian tanks were blown up, while the losses of the Chinese were negligible, and it seems that the early Soviet tanks did have a lot of problems. It's just that the Russian tankers are holding back their strength and quickly approaching the Chinese tanks.

Finally, after losing nearly ten tanks, the Russians finally rushed to within 300 meters as they wished, and the battle had turned into a fight of bayonets between steel behemoths, and one tank after another was blown up and turned into a large fireball.

In this way, the weapons of war made with heavy money were turned into burning scrap metal, and the soldiers in it were lucky enough to escape their lives, and unfortunately they became a pile of coke. There is no room for retreat on either side. can only fight each other to zuihou a drop of blood.

Every time a Russian tank is destroyed, the Chinese positions will let out a burst of cheers, and when their own tanks are hit, they will shake their heads and sigh.

The tank encounter lasted more than an hour, and the Chinese tanks were depleted, while the Russians still had a dozen or so that they could move, which was the advantage of sufficient numbers.

The Russians crushed towards the Chinese position, and the soldiers behind followed closely, and finally stepped on the Chinese position.

Rumble!

With a loud bang, a cluster grenade exploded under the tank. Immediately, the tracks of the T26 were blown off, and the driver inside hurriedly opened the hatch, thick black smoke gushed out, and they wanted to escape.

But the bullets hit mercilessly, killing all three people who ran out. It was Song Zheyuan who shot, and Zhang Zizhong from the gang also gave a thumbs up.

"There are two hits!"

"There's more. Wait and see! ”

The battle is getting more and more intense. Flesh and steel are in a contest, and people are sacrificed at every moment. Some soldiers desperately clung to cluster grenades and died along with the Russian tanks. And the Russian soldiers rushed to the position, using bayonets, killing and slashing, and both sides killed the red eye.

……

And the Central Asian side at this time. Compared to the bloody fight here, it is a little more cruel. After mobilizing the main force, Zhang Henian launched a fierce attack on the Russian army in Karaganda.

The first thing to be solved was the air liliang of the Russians, and the dive bombers once again played the leading role. Huge fleets appeared over Karaganda, Astana and other places.

These silver warhawks swarmed in groups, and once they attacked, each plane was like a cannonball, falling from the sky with precision, dropping bombs on their heads, accurate and hateful.

What's even worse is that these bombers are also equipped with special devices, and every time Xiangxia dives, it will make a sharp whistle, like a whistle, but the sound is dozens or hundreds of times louder.

Every time I heard this sound, it was as if I had come out of hell, and the hearts of Russian soldiers felt as if they had been hit with a hammer. They become frightened, even reflexive, and panic whenever they hear the whistle.

Obviously, this is also a psychological tactic, so that the other party is afraid and afraid, so that he can turn his eyes on it. After two days of bombing, a dozen planes were shot down and more than two dozen planes were destroyed on the runway.

These old Russian planes were clearly no match for China, and Trotsky had almost lost all of the air liliang he had brought. However, as a brilliant commander-in-chief, and especially a highly agitating figure, Trotsky did not pay much attention to it, and he remained convinced that victory was his.

At present, there are more than 30,000 Russian troops in Central Asia, more than 20,000 militias, and there are also troops rushing over, as long as they can survive the initial difficult period, the unlucky must be the Chinese, this is the strong self-confidence accumulated during the civil war.

After removing the Russian air threat, Zhang Henian commanded the troops, divided into three routes, and pounced on the Russian defense. Tanks rumbled, artillery shook the sky, and the Chinese armored forces were getting closer and closer.

Suddenly, the Russian artillery was also aimed at these rushing monsters, and the shells exploded, and shrapnel flew through the middle of the Snow Leopard tank. However, for these steel behemoths, it is difficult to destroy unless they hit directly. These tanks still rushed forward without hesitation, and the Russians at the forefront could clearly see the steel shells of the tanks.

The thick 76 guns were aimed at their positions, and with a loud bang, a machine gun position was hit, and suddenly the machine guns turned into parts and flew into the sky, and the machine gunners were also blown to pieces, and there was no shadow to be seen at all.

The Russians couldn't help but open their mouths wide because the power of this tank was so powerful, but time did not allow them to be frightened.

"Ulla!"

With a loud roar, a dozen Russians split into three sides and rushed towards a Snow Leopard tank, these people formed groups of three, one in each group with cluster grenades, and the other two were responsible for cover.

They passed through the trench and rushed quickly towards the tank. The Chinese tank crews also quickly saw through their plans, and the machine guns were aimed at these people, and the bullets swept by, and people were constantly killed. It didn't have time to get close to the tank at all, it turned into a pile of corpses.

However, these Russians were still able to find an opportunity, and with a loud bang, the track of a tank was blown off, and suddenly the twenty-seven-ton behemoth stopped.

Although it lost its mobility, the tank was still the most haode fortress, and the tank crew constantly aimed at the rushing Russians with machine guns, and the main guns locked on one fortification after another, easily smashing them.

At this time, the Russians were also red-eyed, and a soldier rushed onto the tank, but as soon as he came up, he was hit in the head by a bullet, and a thousand peach blossoms suddenly bloomed. But the man behind did not hesitate at all, jumped up again, lifted the hatch, and threw the grenade into it.

Rumble! With a violent explosion, the tank was finally taken out, but the corpses of the Russians were also piled up around it. In addition to cluster grenades, the Russians also used Molotov cocktails extensively. In fact, this thing was first used by the Chinese, but it was learned by the Russians, and this time it was used on the Chinese.

Smoke billowed and a tank was set on fire again, but fortunately with a diesel engine, there was no terrible explosion, but the soldiers had to climb out of the tank.

In this way, the Russians, relying on their crazy energy, vigorously contained the offensive of the tanks. Russian soldiers and tanks were entangled, and at this time, the artillery had locked on to this direction.

Shells came quickly, and the armored units that had come to a standstill were shelled, and the losses were immediately heavy. However, compared to the Chinese side, the Russian soldiers suffered more casualties, which is completely the same way of fighting.

In fact, this also shows the ruthlessness and determination of Trotsky, who will destroy these most threatening tanks at all costs, no matter how many lives are lost.

Seeing one treasure after another being destroyed, Zhang Henian's nose was crooked: "Shameless, he is simply a madman, and he doesn't even let go of his own people." ”

"Quick, let Huang Xiansheng retreat, the Air Force will bombard me!"

The sharp whistle sounded again, and the air force focused its bombardment on the artillery positions, and heavy bombs fell from the sky and smashed on the Russian positions, the artillery was blown up, the soldiers were killed, and the Russian corpses were strewn all over the field.

But in any case, the Russians finally blocked the first round of the Chinese offensive, and they took advantage of the darkness to restore the trenches as quickly as possible and build more effective tank traps. At the same time, each party member and regiment member became the backbone, forming assault squads, each team against a tank.

The next day's fighting was even bloodier, with the Chinese mixing tanks and armoured vehicles to provide stronger close protection, with a large number of soldiers armed with submachine guns on the side, while the Russians hid in the trenches like gophers, waiting for the tanks to come and attack.

For two days in a row, Zhang Henian lost more than thirty tanks, but there was no progress at all, and his lips suddenly blistered. (To be continued......)
