The cold wind carried fine pieces of ice and made the whole of Western Siberia begin to consider the threat of a harsh winter, and early in the morning, hundreds of conscripts and soldiers were pulled out of their warm beds and ordered to go to the train station to carry the twenty truckloads of supplies that had arrived last night.

Major Boroni was woken up by shouting, he was annoyed that he had just arrived from St. Petersburg, but he couldn't help it, it was the order of Admiral Chekov.

No, it should be said that it is a general, because last night's train also brought a letter of appointment from His Majesty the Tsar, who has been promoted to the rank of general of the Russian army.

He really couldn't sleep, so he could only go into the barracks and wake up the tank soldiers who were still sleeping.

"Get up!"

"Damn, you stupid pigs, if the [Chinese] Army had come over now, you would have died a long time ago!"

"Idiot, what are you doing in a daze? Go and light a fire in the boiler, go around and see if last night's cold snap hurt the chariot! The roar of Major Boroni attracted a lot of white eyes and curses, and the Russian tank soldiers had already hated this little white face in St. Petersburg who only knew how to drill a woman's crotch, but the official was crushed to death, and everyone could only lazily walk to the open space in the distance.

In the open space, twenty Mendeleev super tanks with a boxy appearance like a rectangular iron box made Major Boroni, who lacked a woman's warm bed, gradually "excited", a 0/120 mm assault gun, and heavy machine guns mounted in the rotating machine gun tower on both sides, using an oil and gas suspension with adjustable bottom height from the ground, the thickness of the front steel plate is 150 mm, the side is 100 mm, and even the tail is 80 mm, and the total weight reaches 170 tons!

They are masterpieces of Russia!

At least that's what Major Boroni thinks, it turns out that this big monster has no chance to be built because it is too expensive, but after the United States joined, the first batch of loans were given to Russia to lead to B dollars, "Finally released this monster!"

His Majesty the Tsar was tired of the death of three million elite troops being dragged here, so he brought himself the 20 vehicles that had just been produced to the Eastern Front, hoping to deal with the damned yellow-skinned heretics as soon as possible.

Boroni was also convinced that as soon as he reached the front, the Minusinsk fortress would collapse under the trembling of 20 120-mm guns, because no infantry could withstand such a powerful weapon.

However, the thought of how to get to the front line made Major Boroni's head bigger, because this monster weighed more than a ton, and no internal combustion engine could propel it, so he had to use boilers and steam engines, but even then "it was only three miles per hour in the field, and even if it was transported to the front line by train, it faced the problem of a middle ground of nearly 80 kilometers." (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Learning Network)

Western Siberia is about to face a harsh winter, which is a big problem for any metal today, so he will ask the boilers to fire once a day to make sure these behemoths are in good shape.

Twenty columns of smoke rose from the open space of the fortress, and the slow-moving Mendeleev supertank stunned all the soldiers who saw it for the first time, but Major Boroni probably never imagined what serious consequences his so-called due diligence had brought to Tomsk!

"There's a column of smoke!"

Seeing the white fog in the sky, Xia Shihui was anxious about how to locate the target, and the rolling smoke column that suddenly rose in the distance made him suddenly excited, and the two wild horses responsible for reconnaissance and cover saw the smoke column, like smelling a bloody hunting shark, and the fuselage roared downward.

The light Mustangs have a speed of up to 320 knots per hour, or 590 kilometers per hour, and if it weren't for the fact that they were in sync with the formation, "it would take only an hour for them to roar over Tomsk."

The Mustang swooped down at a 30-degree angle and swept past the smoke column, and when the hideous black eagle head under the wings looked down on the earth, the awakening Tomsk fortress was stunned for a moment, and Major Boroni also looked at the sky stupidly, wondering where this never-before-seen plane flew from.

When the slightest hint of bad things just rose, the huge black eagle had already appeared in the sky, and the humming motor sound went from light to loud and then to a shrill whistling.

The Tomsk fortress, which covers an area of more than 40 square kilometers, is like a honeycomb that has exploded, the alarm bell rings from every corner, many soldiers have not even put on their clothes and grab their guns and rush out, and the artillerymen are rushing to the four scattered artillery batteries "When they panicked and opened the thick cold-proof artillery clothing, when the few dozen or so 57-mm anti-aircraft guns just began to raise their heads, and the shells had not yet been stuffed into the barrels" The black shadow had already passed from a low altitude of less than 300 meters overhead.

At that moment, Major Boroni's eyes seemed to be frozen.

Two black dots were thrown out of the belly of such a large plane that had never been seen before, and they fell straight to the battery on the left, followed by a violent explosion that nearly brought him to his knees.

In the loud rumbling sound, two huge mushroom clouds flashed in front of them, and the flying fire and gunpowder smoke were hundreds of meters high, and the explosion pushed the soldiers around directly to hundreds of meters away, although it did not directly hit the fort, but the rubble and rubble lifted off smashed the cement wall outside the fort to pieces, and when the heat wave carried countless rubble, the frightened war horses hundreds of meters away began to scurry around.

"It's a pity."

Glancing at the half-crippled battery, Xia Shihui secretly said that it was a pity, he finally took advantage of the fact that the anti-aircraft artillery had not yet started the low-altitude bombardment, but he didn't expect it to hit directly, although it was a little broken, and most of the people inside must have died, but as long as there is enough replenishment, it should be very recoverable.

This is not a good thing, no matter how powerful the Fourth Mechanized Infantry Division is, it is impossible to bombard the fortress heavy artillery, so he hurriedly grabbed the microphone and shouted: "Call No. 03, the stone throwing is complete, the focus is on the four batteries, [free] bombing!" ”

"Bombing by yourself!"

As Xia Shihui's call was completed, Major Boroni was completely dumbfounded, only to see a large dark cloud directly out of the distance this time!

The second plane, which had dropped both bombs, also deviated from the battery, but instead of feeling lucky, it added to the fear, because the two bombs fell on the barracks located below the battery, and more than a thousand soldiers who were running out were instantly torn apart by the explosion wave.

He jumped as if he had woken up from a dream when one of the bombs that fell again drilled through the No. 4 turret on the left, and then lifted a thick, heavy 203-mm barrel converted from a naval gun, smashing an officer's quarters beneath the fortress.

"Drive! Drive and get out of here! ”

Boroni got into a nearby Mendeleev tank, the thick armor reassured him a lot, and the soldiers in the back cabin, who had already been frightened, desperately threw coal into the boiler to push the behemoth up little by little.

A carp that had not yet dropped bombs found a tank that had not run far in the open space, and the pilot was very curious about what it was, and wanted to fly lower to see it clearly, but at this time, the roaring fire of the fortress anti-aircraft gun made him dispel his thoughts, and he didn't care what it was, so he threw the two bombs down. The power of 500 kg of aerial bombs is extremely amazing, one is enough to destroy most of the open space, when two heavy bombs exploded from the edge of the open space, everything within hundreds of meters around it was quickly pushed as if it had encountered a hurricane, and a full five of them were concentrated there, and the Mendeleev tank weighing 170 tons was directly overturned.

If it weren't for the fact that the Mendeleev tank itself was like an iron wall blocking a lot of fragments and waves of air that rushed to his partner, and if it weren't for the fact that Major Boroni had already moved ahead with the remaining tanks, the harvest of these two bombs would have been greater.

But at this time, no one realized what a mistake it had made to leave the main assembly with the tank troops and prepare to go to the field to temporarily avoid Major Boroni, because he provided the coordinates for the last two waves of gill peng.

Because of the deviation of direction during the night, when the last six scales arrived over the fortress, the whole of Tomsk was almost covered in gunsmoke, which made the pilots who were anxious to find the target point to return to the sea, so as not to run out of fuel, and at this moment they saw a large group of large iron boxes drilled out of the fortress.

12 500-kilogram bombs flew down the passage where the Mendeleev tank came out, and the explosion completely tore the passage open, but the explosion was so violent that a large amount of debris blocked the road.

General Chekov staggered out of the debris of the explosion, looked at the bomber group that Youya Youzai left, his face turned blue with anger, and he grabbed the staff officer next to him and shouted: "What about the anti-aircraft guns? Why didn't you fire! "General, they came too suddenly, and many of the anti-aircraft guns were destroyed before they had time to prepare. ”

"Damn it!"

Chekov could not accuse the fighters of slackness, because he himself did not expect the Chinese planes to arrive here, and the thought of facing this terrible bombardment every day in the future even immediately wanted to retreat to the Ural Mountains.

The momentary silence of the explosions gave a terrified Tomsk a breather, and after stepping on rubble and corpse fragments to climb the only intact artillery battery high above the fortress, the Cheko's face turned green.

A mere 56 bombs, in just twenty minutes, brought unimaginable damage to the fortress, and everywhere you looked, the smoke covered the sky, the rubble was full of screaming soldiers, and the fire was rising from under every brick!

If Chekov had known that the 2nd Air Division had not used its might and terrible heavy incendiary bombs and napalm because it still needed this fortress, I don't know how lucky it would have been.

"God, this is hell!" The staff officer next to him moved his Adam's apple, which was the only thing he could think of to describe the Tomsk fortress at this moment, but before his words could be blown away, a large black cloud appeared again in the distant sky.

"Fire!" , anti-aircraft guns and rapid-fire guns began to fire fiercely at the second wave of aircraft, and General Chekov gritted his teeth, he never imagined that the planes of the Chinese Empire would be able to reach here across nearly five hundred kilometers and drop such powerful bombs!

But before he could give the order to increase the firepower, the staff officers around him had already shouted.

"General, look!" , Following his fingers, Chekov, who had just been promoted to general, saw an unforgettable scene in his life, only to see countless smoke and dust rising on the southern horizon, and hundreds of black spots in the smoke and dust rushed towards Tomsk!! ~！
