Chapter 601: The Forced Decisive Battle
When Zhukov's army broke through the basic line of defense, it began to move, and the large forces left the place where they were stationed and advanced in the direction of Lake Baikal all over the mountains.
By the time they were moving, the entire line had been breached, and towns had been attacked, and supplies had been removed, leaving empty cities and civilians.
During the movement, Zhukov received that the enemy had captured various towns and, in a panic, urged his troops to speed up their march,
He didn't know if he could take back the cities, but he had to. He is already alone, he does not do it, it is unrealistic to count on Moscow.
At this time, Qu Jun had just taken three cities in a row, strangled all those few Russian troops, packed up the supplies, and transported them to Yurga. The army approached Krasnoyarsk, where the enemy army was no more than two regiments, and it was impossible to stop his iron cavalry from killing. Fleeing civilians were everywhere along the way, but soon they were left behind by Hurumlong's iron horsemen who ignored them.
When the people saw that the enemy was not chasing them all over the mountain, they muttered in their hearts, but they also gave up the idea of fleeing to other places. How could they outrun those steel behemoths?
But the snow covers the mountains, and if they don't escape, where can they go?
The armored units that followed galloped all the way, shouting all the way with loudspeakers to let the civilians go home, and they would not harm the civilians.
These Soviet and Russian people will be suspicious, and with the return of the first one, some people have embarked on the way home one after another.
These are all beautiful and affect Qu Jungang their march Sudu. Attacking the town, it is beautiful and kills the Austrian defenders, such a raid speed, so that the Russian army has no time to mobilize, a town that is not enough garrison for the advance army to plug the teeth, escape, and there is no tank and armored vehicle speed, horseback. In addition to burrowing into the deep mountains and old forests, away from the roads and plains, they were able to escape.
But they did not receive the order to retreat, that is, to fight, to the last one.
Yu Lei, when Qu Jun was just marching all the way. also galloped, at a speed of more than forty kilometers an hour, from Novosibirsk to the position where Zhukov's army was stationed.
He now gathered two-thirds of the tanks and armored vehicles of the advance army, as well as infantry vehicles, and marched through the plain in six directions in the midst of the rolling snow waves.
Zhukov's army did not move so fast, although desperately. However, people alone cannot run at a speed of 30 kilometers, and the baggage is even more slow.
Zhukov is not a rookie, and when his army moves, he also beware of a sneak attack from behind the enemy, so that the army cannot be deployed. He left four divisions of troops in his position to block the attack layer by layer to prevent the enemy from pursuing.
But where can this stop the pursuit of the advance army?
It had only been more than three hours since Zhukov's army had been moving, and Yu Lei's vanguard had already arrived in Mezhdurechensk. A reconnaissance team was dispatched to contact the scouts who were there to monitor the enemy's movements. Get a quick grasp of what's going on there.
According to the observation of the scouts, there were no less than 500 mortars, and 300 mountain guns, and the machine guns were lined up, and the defense of the position was not bad. It can be said that it is very stable.
After Yu Lei arrived in Mezhdurechensk, he quickly gathered this information and formulated the steps for the attack. He called the transport planes, and the few attack planes all kept up with the attacking team, and the helicopters that were already following him were also refueling. Waiting for the sortie.
Half an hour later, the tanks and armored vehicles began to move, but the helicopters flew first to the target.
The enemy still does not know much about the tactics of helicopters, and they still do not know how to resist the surprise attack of helicopters.
The helicopter that followed Yu Lei's movement was from Novosibirsk, and a total of 50 attack planes and 100 armed transport planes followed.
The plane is still the old way, sticking to the treetops, and when the enemy sees the figure of the plane, the artillery position has been covered by dense machine guns, and the dense bullets of the Vulcan cannon are hovering in the fuselage, and in all the swinging strafing, they are scattered to the position, and those old and uncomfortable Russian troops can withstand such a fierce attack? The moment the debris flew around, the defense of the position was chaotic.
The armed transport plane flew rapidly through the air, and the heavy machine guns on the plane clattered and spewed tongues of fire. At this moment, the Russian troops on the position understood that the shark-like plane was the first three weapons with fierce firepower, and there seemed to be artillery, and the large aircraft cabin door and front end of the reminder were shot out, and there were fires all over the body, especially on both sides, all of which were manually operated, and the tongue of fire could be adjusted to continuously spray bullets.
The fierce attack made the Russian troops on the position miserable, and the air defense was a joke at this moment, and it was too late to see the enemy planes, and under the heavy fire, they retreated into temporary bunkers one after another to avoid the rain of bullets in the sky.
Armored vehicles and tanks followed closely at this moment, followed by the rain of bullets and pounced on the position, the soft sound of clicking, the crushing of the chain rails, the hurried resistance of the Russian army had no effect at all, and one by one the tanks rushed into the temporary positions and rushed into the artillery positions in the rear.
The strangulation began again at this moment, the helicopters in the sky were almost invincible, and when the tanks rushed in, the air defense was ineffective.
The chainrails of the tanks were crushed back and forth on the snow and the improvised wooden shocks, and patches of bright red were stirred with the chains, staining the snow red, and the miserable cries and futile explosions of grenades rose and fell on the position.
It was only then that the Russian army discovered that three or four grenades could not blow up the tank, and even the chain rails could not be helped. At this time, it was too late to increase the number of grenades, and the tanks entered the position almost in line, so that the Russian army was not only crushed to death by tragedy, but also beaten into a sieve by machine guns.
The helicopter simply hovered in the sky, and the machine gunners in the transport plane held the machine guns and fired continuously at an altitude of 1,200 meters, destroying the figures rolling and climbing in the snow.
There was not a single soldier of the advance army on the position, and they didn't care if they would be injured by mistake, the tanks and armored vehicles were thick-skinned, and the bullets from the heavy machine guns were not enough to threaten them, at most it was a clanging sound, so that the people in the car had to speak loudly, but in front of the headset, these voices were also ignored.
Less than five minutes before the tanks poured into the position, the position was completely flattened, and piles of bright red snow were wrapped in fragmented body wreckage, and under the wood, the soldiers who had lost their lives were crushed. Position. In less than ten minutes, it was declared lost, and there were not many people alive.
Tanks and armored vehicles are from the constant use of positions, and even cleaning is saved after being crushed by chain rails, and there are almost zero people who can still survive. Those who are athletic. Rolling back and forth between the chain rails of the tank, they did not know that in the Ludao infantry vehicle, the angle of fire was close to 130 degrees, and almost any object on the ground could be shot.
The soldiers in the infantry vehicle were looking for a target in the firing port, and in the thump of gunfire, the killers rolled and dodged one by one.
The moment the army formed helicopters in the sky, roared out of the position, and the subsequent trucks stopped. Clean up what you can pick up on the battlefield and throw it on the truck. The corpses, instead of piling up, will be set on fire after the army has departed.
Yu Lei, Yu Ke, and Liu Haisong arrived at the position one after another, and they didn't look at the situation of the position. According to the plan formulated in advance, the troops were divided into three routes. Pounced on Sajanogersk, Abakan, and Chernogrelsk, and with only a few civilian officials and few soldiers in the city, after only half an hour of fierce fighting, they broke into the city and began to clean up those fighters in pieces. Clean up all supplies and food.
At this time, Zhukov already knew that the position of the road was lost, which made him panic. The enemy's attack was so sharp that he was caught off guard. He could no longer calm down, the enemy's movements were too fast. This moment. He completely lost his confidence, and his self-confidence was gone. He had already foreseen that this was a war that was bound to be lost.
Moreover, he was already timid about advancing to Lake Baikal, and the pursuers behind him cut off his retreat, and he was now very likely to be encircled, surrounded by armies on both sides, and he believed that, with the combat effectiveness of the advance army, he could not expect to jump out and encircle.
"Defend !! in place"
Zhukov was ruthless. He yelled and ordered. Even if he dies, he must die in battle, and he must not die in the rout, which will damage his image as a general, and he does not care about the horse leather shroud, which is his destination.
The marching Russian army stopped in the order and began to build positions, and the front lines all over the mountains, layer by layer, were fortified in the direction of Yu Lei. The baggage was put in the back, in the rear position under the protection of the large army.
Zhukov is going to have a decisive battle, and even if he dies, he will bite off a piece of the flesh of the advance army.
But he didn't know that at this time, Yu Lei's air power had stopped, and he landed in the open space outside the town he had just occupied, waiting for the arrival of the transport plane, properly replenishing ammunition and fuel, and preparing for the upcoming battle.
Yu Lei cleaned up the three cities in an orderly manner, and without disturbing the people, the armored army moved.
According to the helicopter's report, the enemy troops were only sixty or seventy kilometers away from them, and they were in a position in an open field and between mountains and forests, and were ready for a decisive battle of defense.
"A decisive battle?"
Yu Lei smiled. He did not receive an order to annihilate these large armies, although his more than 2,000 armored vehicles and infantry vehicles, plus more than 1,000 tanks, and more than 500 helicopters, it was difficult to annihilate this army of hundreds of thousands, but it was not difficult.
When the mecha army was ready, it set off. The army is still three-way, but two regiments have been added to Yu Ke, so that the number of three-way armies is basically the same.
At the same time, Han Jie's troops also concentrated all their armor and went straight to Zhukov's army.
Zhukov's army was tense in defense, even in the direction of the Baikal region, and he decided to hold out and have a decisive battle, but unexpectedly, the enemy did not intend to annihilate them.
In less than two hours, the Third Route Army saw the shadow of Zhukov's position. Only the collection was still the main attack, and at the moment of seeing the enemy, the following helicopter began to accelerate and rushed straight to the position of Zhukov's army.
"Enemy planes!"
The Russian army sounded the alarm, and with it, the observation post in front was knocked out, but the coordinates were already there, and the artillery began to roar.
The shells screeched and screeched in the direction from which the tank had come from, and exploded with a bang.
But no sooner had their shelling begun than helicopters erupted tongues of fire from behind the treetops.
The machine guns covered in all directions, and the bombardment of the explosion made the position burst into flames, and all of them were replaced by high-explosive machine guns and dense shells, so that the position was immediately in flames.
The heavy blows made the anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns aim in the direction where the planes were flying, but where did the planes fly faster when they moved their muzzles? Before the muzzle could find its target, the plane had already dumped the shells, whistling and flipped away.
As soon as the muzzle of the guns on their side moved, a violent explosion sounded again from the side, and another formation of planes rushed out of the treetops, firing intensively at the artillery position.
The loud bang was deafening, and many shells were blown up, making the position constantly loud, and the shock wave destroyed one cannon after another, blowing up trucks.
Where can the air defense with full of loopholes afford such a toss, and before the guns can be turned over, those planes roared and disappeared above the bushes, so that they didn't even have a chance to open fire.
These anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns vomited blood in a depressed manner, they could not catch the shadow of the enemy, and it was too late to hear the roar, but soon they did not need to be depressed, and several planes flew behind them at this moment, and when they were frightened and pointed at the muzzle, a dense fireball Saul surrounded them.
Amid the loud roar, dozens of antiaircraft guns and hundreds of antiaircraft machine guns were stumbling in the middle of the explosion, and countless people were killed and wounded.
Zhukov's eyes were shattered by the heavy artillery fire, and he roared to shoot down the planes.
But Depp and everyone's guns rushed away, and the futile jet bullets of the planes that disappeared above the trees in a few breaths were simply not able to use these ultra-low-altitude planes, which were blocked by trees, and had no effect at all.
The battle, which lasted for more than twenty minutes without the army making contact, destroyed all of Zhukov's artillery, his cannon only blew up six tanks on the move, and three more were only broken and could be repaired.
At this moment, he understood that the enemy could attack quickly, and the artillery carried on the plane was too sharp, so it was no wonder that air combat was not cheap at all. Not to mention that these planes that are not flexible can be hit, and even if they do, it will be difficult to shoot down the opponent without hitting the vital point. And the other side can blow up the plane with just one shot. And the tanks, those planes can also blow up tanks, and just now he saw a tank blown to pieces by that strange plane.
"The ...... of the Decisive Battle"
Zhukov looked at the stray artillery on the position, looked at the wounded soldiers who were wailing in pain, he suddenly felt how naïve he was, in the face of this kind of firepower, what decisive battle would he use?
He sighed, he knew that the enemy had become a climate, they might not really intervene in this war when the advance army strangled the Japanese army, if they didn't take advantage of the fire to rob, maybe there would be a chance for peace talks, but now, it seems impossible to ......, (to be continued......)
