Chapter 108: Kyiv

On August 7, the Soviet Union's general offensive began in full swing, codenamed Zero. The Soviet Union has been brewing for a long time, and it is also the first large-scale ground war in Europe since the end of World War II.

The Soviet army fought on three fronts, and the middle line combat units, that is, the armored torrent and several infantry divisions around the Ukrainian front, were still fighting in tandem, and heavy weapons from the rear were quickly replenished. Although it is sitting on a torrent of armor, it is fighting in a slow way, standing still.

The troops of the Western Front and the Northern Front, that is, the cutting-edge troops that were quickly reinforced after the parade, both of which were temporarily formed mixed units, ranging from air force fighters to self-propelled artillery, and the troops on the Western Front also had warships, which were all war killing machines. After the air force fighters took to the air, the troops of the Western Front and the Northern Front attacked at the same time.

On the Western Front, the Crimean Peninsula, which was once a state of the Soviet Union, was annexed to Ukraine in 1954 to commemorate the 300th anniversary of the merger of Ukraine and Russia.

The warships of the troops of the Western Front passed through the Sea of Azov, straight to the port of Crimea. Artillery fire covered the military installations along the coast, and at the same time, the wizard of the warship disembarked and arranged the portkey directly.

So half an hour later, under the cover of gunfire from warships, the road combat units of the troops of the Western Front landed on the island of Crimea. Launch a surprise attack on the territory of the Crimea.

But in fact, the entire Western Front and the Central Front are all planned to contain the multinational joint forces, that is, to attract their attention, but also to hold them back.

The battlefield on the northern front is the core of the Zero Point plan, passing through the territory of Belarus and cutting directly to Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.

The battle plan on the Western Front, Soviet warships sailed directly into the port, used artillery fire to cut off the connection between Ukraine and the Crimean peninsula, cut off the lines of communication, and isolated the combined forces in the Crimea. And the army units quickly broke into the Crimea, and the coalition forces sought fighters.

The battle plan of the middle line, seek progress while maintaining stability, stop the rolling offensive of the armor, sacrifice speed, cooperate with the infantry, and contain the offensive posture of the combined army.

The combat units on the northern front are mechanized troops, waving north, preparing to eat two Belarusian divisions in one go, turning south, and then using the portkey to assault Kyiv.

The battle plan was carried out extremely smoothly, the warships on the Western Front were coordinated by wizards, and the fleet stationed on the Crimean peninsula, after discovering the Soviet warships, was transferred by the phantom before they even had time to leave the port, and the wizards standing in the harbor with the phantom spell were named one by one with the vanishing charm.

The warship disappeared directly on the water, but the personnel in the warship were not affected, but because of the disappearance of the warship, all of them fell into the water like dumplings.

Without the warships, the port cities along the Crimea could only passively accept the baptism of fire from Soviet warships. Army combat units also quickly crossed the Sea of Azov from Soviet territory to the Crimea via a portkey.

After cooperating with the army's combat units to destroy the military facilities within the effective strike range, the warship quickly turned around and entered the narrow area between Crimea and the Ukrainian mainland, and directly crossed it to use as a battery, the main purpose of which was to prevent Ukrainian troop carriers.

The bridge and railroad have been destroyed by wizards, maneuvering around the battlefield using apparition.

And when the Ukrainian joint combat army tried to move in the direction of Crimea, the mechanized troops of the northern front had already eaten two Belarusian divisions in one go, swaggering across the Ukrainian state border.

In an instant, a disagreement between the joint combat forces arose. When the generals finished arguing, leaving some of the troops to try to take the opportunity to intervene in the Crimea, the large forces all turned north reflexively, intending to intercept the Soviet troops crossing the border.

Unfortunately, this large and highly mechanized army is lining up to cross the Portkey, and at the other end of the Portkey is the outskirts of Kyiv on the Dnieper River.

By the time all the troops had passed the portkey, the combat units that arrived first were already building their frontline positions. Front-line observers quickly reported to the commander the latest information that had just been discovered, that is, behind the argument that this ancient city was rich in ancient buildings and rich cultural heritage, and that air strikes were impossible. At the very least, weapons of mass destruction, such as gasoline incendiary bombs, will not be allowed.

The commander was angry, he thought that the order of his superiors to protect cultural heritage was like nonsense, but as a front-line commander, he did not have the ability to bring the lawsuit to the leader, so he had to give up the tempting idea of using Molotov cocktails to raid Kyiv and directly extinguish Ukraine's independence with fire. But it was also impossible to abandon the Air Force, and the commander ordered the Air Force to raid the airfield in Kiev.

The MiG-29 and Su-27 soared happily over the blue sky, which claimed to be independent, but the blue sky was within the strike range of the Soviet fleet.

Most of the Kiev aircraft group did not have time to take off, although the air raid alarm has been sounded, but the Soviet combat aircraft group came out through the portkey is already in a state of flight acceleration, and this speed to the Kyiv airport does not give all pilots the opportunity to pull up the plane at all, after all, the runway is limited.

And the few planes that flew up were not even a united enemy, and the Ukrainian planes charged like knights, but like Don Quixote, they were flashed by the MiGs with an excellent radius of maneuver, and then, like a drop of water hitting the steel, disappeared into the sky of the USSR in the blink of an eye.

Under the air raid siren, the Ukrainian troops guarding Kyiv rushed out of the barracks, they marched along the street in full gear, and the officers of the bars and dance halls ran out of the bars and dancers, and then mixed with the army, leading the soldiers to shout slogans.

"Get out of our land!"

"Stand back, Soviets!"

Completely forgetting the fact that a year or two ago they were also the USSR.

The U.S. International Military Inspectorate is actually in Kyiv, and he came to judge the Soviet Union's combat capability, so even if he is sitting in his office, he can learn about the situation on the front line through American intelligence channels, even more accurately and in detail than the Ukrainian side.

So, when he learned that the Soviet Air Force was bombing the airport in Kyiv, he could hardly believe it, and it was not until he saw the MiGs flying in the sky that he put down the coffee in his hand.

The reality is so funny, as a military observer, he has to rack his brains to judge where this army jumped out of the hell?

Armored vehicles carrying Soviet troops drove up the roads of Kyiv, and they were greeted by Ukrainian troops who were ready to defend their homeland.

Ukrainian troops rely on streets, buildings. Decided to fight street battles with Soviet troops. It is necessary to take advantage of the local superiority and use the vast sea of people to defeat the Soviet army.

But, where the Ukrainians can't see, the wizarding regiment is preparing.

"Try again." Li Lin gave the order.

Several wizards under his command are working together to perform a spell. The smoke is enough to turn the whole of Kyiv into the fog capital of London, and it can create a haze of unknown people on the other side of the meeting.

Although they are both adult wizards, the first time they use magic, they are still rusty and unskilled, and they fail to make two attempts in a row. Li Lin had no choice but to order the wizards to work in groups of three, and ten groups took turns to try, and finally halfway through the second round, the haze finally descended on Kiev.
