The Chechens, who had been bombarded by artillery fire for a whole day, thought that purgatory was over and light had returned to the world. But they were wrong again. They underestimated the intensity of the Russians' plan of punishment.
After the bombing, Grozny ushered in a swarm of bombers. The Russian bomber formation arrived. The Central Siberian Military District and the military airports around the Volga River were all temporarily activated. Various bombers were at the airport.
It took off mid-air, carrying various bombs, and arrived in the sky above Grozny.
Figure 95, Figure 42 Bear-shaped bomber is the main force of the bomber formation. This former Soviet bomber entered service in 1952, with a bomb load of up to 11,000 kilograms and 24,244 pounds.
Fighters can plunge a large area of Grozny into a sea of flames. This time nearly thirty were dispatched!
In addition, there are also the Tu-22 Backfire supersonic bomber with a larger bomb load, and even the Tu-0 White Swan has five dispatched.
However, Russia's move was a bit big this time, and the United States was shocked, because Russia also used three Figure 4 Bull strategic bombers. Although the Bull bomber model is a bit old, this thing can carry nuclear weapons. Russia's first
This is what detonated the atomic bomb. After the American satellite discovered that Bull was dispatched, a small meeting was held overnight to discuss whether Russia would use an atomic bomb against Grozny.
However, in the end, the Americans believed that the Russians should not use nuclear weapons. After all, Grozny is Russian territory, while the opposition believed that the Russians wanted the land of Grozny, not the population on the land (like Treasure Island).
In the end, the Russians did not drop the atomic bomb. The Bull was used entirely because there were not enough bombers. Russia's poor logistics made many bombers unusable. They could only drag out a few old ones from the hangar for use. Russia itself did not think of it.
The inadvertent action scared the American into a cold sweat.
The bombing lasted for two days. Incendiary bombs, high-explosive bombs, cluster bombs, ground-penetrating bombs, armor-piercing bombs, armor-piercing incendiary bombs, and all kinds of bombs fell on the heads of the Chechens as if they were free. The whole Grozny became
At the Russian Air Force test site, various types of ammunition are thrown into the city, and there are even specialized scientific researchers who come to calculate the power of various bombs.
Sea of Fire, this was the first sentence the Russian pilots reported to the headquarters on the third night when they flew over Grozny. They were all fire, lighting up Grozny like daylight, but Russian bombers still dropped bombs day and night.
The Russian soldiers in the city retreated to the outer areas and surrounded all the entrances and exits of Grozny. The Chechens who were originally hiding around the Russian army also suffered a disaster. The bombers did not need to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy and dropped them wherever there were no flames.
The bomb was dropped, and the area immediately became a sea of flames.
The fire burned for four days, and the entire Grozny became a black ruin. Almost all the combustible things in the city were burned, and there were no intact buildings. The entire city turned black, and the sky was blackened by the fires that continued day and night.
When Yu Yang entered Grozny again, it was like a Victory Day parade. On the 8th, Yu Yang followed the 3rd Brigade into Grozny. Before that, all the resistance in Grozny was wiped out. Three days of high-intensity
There were bombings and four days of fires. Even if there were resistance militants, they were only one or two remaining survivors and would not affect the Russians' entry into the city. They did not even dare to show up.
Grozny is now an empty city. This city has a population of more than 600,000. After the war started, there were more than 200,000 people. Now the survivors are no more than 20,000, and more people died under artillery fire.
Parev arranged for the 3rd brigade led by Yu Yang to be the first to enter the city. The huge credit for capturing Grozny fell on Yu Yang's head. Yu Yang was very happy. He didn't know if this was a hidden reward, so he didn't refuse it.
, he sat in a tank generously, and Yu Yang drove the tank himself. After learning for a few days, Yu Yang felt that he should be able to drive the T80 tank.
The road was smooth and the vehicle successfully drove into the Grozny government building. The government building only exists on the map. In reality, only some rubble remains of the government building. Find any trace of the existence of the government building. The entire building
The total height is less than two meters, and it is still a load-bearing wall that was collapsed by the bomb.
Several Russian soldiers excitedly ran to the highest position with the national flag and planted the Russian flag on the top of the wall, which represented that the Russians had officially occupied Grozny. After the flag was planted, the entire 3rd Brigade cheered.
, the sound of urrahs keeps rising and falling.
Yu Yang didn't quite understand Lao Maozi's habit. Occupying an area without planting a flag does not count as occupation. Even if it is still in a war zone, as long as the Russian flag is planted, they think the area is occupied by them.
The troops continued to advance, aiming for the Kaman Bridge. They went there to join the soldiers guarding the bridge. The only organized Chechens in the city were concentrated in the southern part of the Kaman Bridge.
After several days of hard work, the Chechens still could not cross the bridge. As the bombing became more and more intense, more and more people chose to cross the river, hoping to go around from the lower reaches or other places. However, except for a few lucky people,
More Chechens drowned in icy rivers.
According to post-war statistics, a total of nearly 4,000 corpses were recovered from the Gaisunza River. Most of them were drowned, and this statistics only counts the corpses that were discovered. More corpses were found.
Not found.
The vehicle was advancing rapidly towards the south of the Kaman Bridge. Along the way, some ordinary Chechens could be seen sitting on the edge of the road with their eyes open. They were lucky. Compared to those who had lost their lives,
They are still alive, and being alive is the greatest luck.
But they are unfortunate. It will take them a lifetime to slowly understand the pain this war has left them. In the years to come, they will never forget this nightmare war.
The eyes of the Chechens looking at the Russian army were full of hatred and fear. Yu Yang saw their eyes through the periscope and knew that this kind of massacre would not bring peace, but perhaps a war on a larger scale.
Maybe the Chechens in this time and space cannot pose a secondary threat to the Russians, and the Russians do not need to launch a second Chechen war, but maybe there are many incidents in Beslan, and this kind of hatred will be passed down from generation to generation.
