Chapter 599 Ankara

"Attack, attack across the board, attack non-stop!" After learning that the Ishim River railway bridge was blown up, Wang Shizhen immediately issued the order.````

"In addition, the bombers of the Army Aviation are ordered to operate in batches and continuously bomb Petropavl. Unless they cannot aim at night, the explosions in this city will not stop, and all Russian trucks must be driven out.

But the Ishim River, what is it called in the words of our Holy Father?" He then said.

"Strangulation, air strangulation!" the staff officer next to him said quickly and wisely.

"Yes, strangle, strangle our enemies to death like a noose." Wang Shizhen said with a sinister smile.

Immediately afterwards, on the long front from Omsk in the east to Petropavl in the west, four million-strong Chinese armies simultaneously launched an attack on the Russian army in front of them. Countless artillery roared in the empty Siberian steppes.

, the flames of the explosion stretched endlessly, the tanks roared, and the soldiers shouted, the destined enemy began an unprecedented decisive battle. Facing the enemies coming like a tide, the Russian soldiers tried their best to block them with intensive firepower, and soon one

Reports of ammunition shortages in various positions were sent to the Russian Army General Headquarters.

At this time, at the airports in Omsk and Pavlodar, those bombers and fighter-bombers were taking off and landing non-stop. While providing air support to the front line, they were flying non-stop in accordance with the strangulation orders of their commanders.

Bombs and coagulation decoys were dropped on Petropavl, completely blowing the city into ruins. At the same time, those bombers with sufficient endurance even kept cruising on the Ishim River, and any pontoons or pontoons were set up.

The act of building temporary docks will lead to bombs raining down. After the railway supply is lost, the already small amount of road supplies is also completely cut off.

Without the supply of ammunition, there is no possibility for this battle to continue. One million Russian troops consume tens of millions of bullets every day. In normal times, there is often a problem of insufficient supply, not to mention that all roads are now blocked.

Cut off. Not a single bullet could be transported. They had no reserves on the front line. As a result, facing the attack of the Siberian Front, the Russian army could no longer hold out after only one day of fighting.

The person in charge of the Siberian battlefield is Nikolai's uncle, Grand Duke Nicholas. As the only general in the Russian royal family who can take action, he naturally understands that it is impossible to continue to persist here under such circumstances. Such a long snake spread horizontally.

The formation was originally designed to protect the railway, but now that the railway is of no use, it is useless to protect it. The Russian army that was fighting began to withdraw from the battlefield one by one from east to west and retreated to the west bank of the Ishim River. During their retreat, they almost destroyed all the railways.

All were destroyed, and Wang Shizhen, whose transportation was also restricted, had her attack power greatly weakened due to the lengthened transportation distance when she chased them to the Ishim River. In the end, the two sides once again reached a stalemate at the Ishim River.

At this time, the 15th Army of the Chinese Army, which was reinforcing the Middle East, had also arrived in Kuwait and quickly reinforced Basra. The 10th Army, which was moving south from Ashgabat, was also approaching Tehran. Brusilov, who was attacking Basra, immediately faced

A dilemma arises. Retreat to Baghdad and join forces with Denikin to defend Baghdad, or retreat to Tehran to protect the back of the Russian army that is attacking Ankara. If you choose the former, the Chinese Tenth Army will fight towards the Caucasus, but Persia is so bad

The traffic conditions limited the advance speed of the Chinese with heavy firepower. It would be difficult to truly threaten the Russian army on the northern front within two months. If you choose the latter, the Chinese 15th Group Army will attack Baghdad. If Denikin cannot hold Baghdad, then it will attack Baghdad.

The transportation lines in Europe will be open again, but if the northern line can successfully reach Istanbul, this line can still be blocked, and it will be completely blocked.

After some hesitation, this guy chose to return to Tehran. After all, Tehran was closer to Russia. Even if he retreated, there would be somewhere to evacuate, but if he went to Baghdad, he would probably have to fail or die in the end.

The Russian army retreated very quickly. It had completely withdrawn from the battlefield before the 15th Army arrived. Ma Biao was now exhausted from the fight and had no ability to pursue it. He could only watch the Russians leave, and Isfahan

And the subsequent Battle of Basra was the battle with the heaviest casualties of the Chinese Army so far, with a total of more than 15,000 casualties, while the Russian army suffered 60,000 casualties.

Ankara, the capital of the Turkish Republic in history, has already ushered in the day of destruction. On the artillery position of the Russian 21st Group Army attacking this city, a total of forty 280mm heavy artillery were lined up, huge

The muzzles of the cannons were raised high, and next to each cannon there was a special loading truck waiting with more than 200 kilograms of shells. In order to capture this railway hub as quickly as possible, Kuropa, who was in charge of the Middle East battlefield

Tekin gave all the 280 heavy artillery pieces and artillery shells that Denikin sent to him to this army group.

"Enemy plane!" However, before the bombardment started, the air defense siren sounded first in the Russian position, and a group of black bombers roared in the distant sky. These bombers were actually the main enemies of the Russian army on the Ottoman battlefield.

Their arrival every time was like a nightmare, but this time the Russian army was very confident, because what Denikin captured in Baghdad was not just heavy artillery, but also a large number of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, especially those twin 37mm anti-aircraft guns.

, compared with this kind of anti-aircraft gun, the British product is a piece of shit.

The same time-fuzed artillery shells were also a treasure for the Russians. In fact, what they didn't know was that Emperor Yang despised the air power of the Allies so much that he did not equip the European Legion with radio proximity bombs. This was considered

It's lucky that it didn't work, otherwise it would have been really troublesome for them to get a bunch of radios to explode.

The forty Thunder bombers were not protected by Eagle fighter-bombers, so they attacked fiercely. Before they could fly over the heads of the Russian troops, the Double 37 anti-aircraft guns on the ground opened fire one after another.

The bombs exploded near the aircraft group, and shrapnel flew in all directions in the explosion fire. The two bombers were immediately shot and dragged up black smoke, and fled in panic amidst the cheers of the Russian army.

"Base, base, the enemy's ground firepower is extremely fierce, repeat, the enemy's ground firepower is extremely fierce, they have a large number of double 37 anti-aircraft guns, where did these guys get the proximity fuzes from, our army suffered heavy casualties." In the sky.

On the pilot plane, bomber wing captain Qin Yu shouted anxiously with a smile on his face.

The remaining Thunder bombers around him kept circling, trying to break through the Russian anti-aircraft artillery blockade, but unfortunately they failed one after another in front of the exploding 37mm artillery shells. Soon, ten bombers were forced to emit black smoke.

Returned.

In the headquarters in Istanbul, the generals of the Chinese and Austrian armies were equally anxiously listening to Qin Yu's voice on the radio. Han Fei, the commander of the European Corps, grabbed the microphone impatiently and shouted: "No matter what difficulties there are, no matter what

No matter how heavy the casualties are, you must destroy the enemy's heavy artillery, even if you use your plane to hit them, you must complete this task."

"Yes, I understand, please pass my suicide note to my wife!" Qin Yu's decisive voice came from the radio.

"Colonel Qin, please!" Hamid II, who was sitting at the headquarters in person, was moved to tears.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will never...ah, what's going on, quickly control the plane..."

Then the sound on the radio was just clutter.

Han Fei sat on the chair with a sad face.

Of course Colonel Qin did not die, but his plane was seriously injured, so he had to lead the crew to parachute. Finally, they landed behind a nearby Ottoman defense line, and were then sent to Istanbul by military vehicles. The bombers he led were in

A total of fifteen aircraft were lost during the bombing of the Russian heavy artillery. Fortunately, they were all injured and had to parachute, so the pilot casualties were not large. Only four pilots were injured. But their bombing results were very impressive.

Frustrated, under the fierce anti-aircraft firepower of the Russian army, only a small number of bombers were able to fly over and drop bombs. However, due to the intensive anti-aircraft machine gun fire on the ground, they had to resort to high-altitude horizontal bombing. The accuracy of such bombing was tearful. In fact, it only destroyed

A 280 heavy gun.

After the aerial attack failed miserably, the Ankara garrison was immediately devastated. Thirty-nine 280 heavy artillery pieces poured huge shells at the city all the time, and the sharp whistling sound was like the devil's grin.

Like falling from the sky, the heavy shells hit the ground with gravitational acceleration like meteors. Then dozens of kilograms of antimony and antimony inside exploded. The shock wave of the explosion instantly flattened everything within a few tens of meters around them. Those who were originally

The low-spirited Ottoman soldiers huddled in their hiding places one by one, screaming and waiting for the call of Allah, waiting for their pile of maidens and gardens flowing with milk and honey that would never change no matter how broken they were. Of course, as for them

I don’t know how my body, which is divided into pieces, can enjoy these things in the end.

The Russians didn't feel bad about picking up artillery shells for free anyway. In addition, by this time they had learned that Brusilov had retreated from Basra. Next, Denikin and his actually only one and a half divisions would face the entire China.

Once Denikin could not hold the offensive of the Army Group, the Allied transportation lines would be opened again, so they had to capture Ankara and cut off the railway again. Under Kuropatkin's order, the Russian army spent the next two days

For a long time, the city was constantly ravaged with 280 heavy artillery. In the end, Ankara was bombarded to the point where almost no complete building could be seen. At this time, more than 200,000 Russian troops launched a general offensive. (To be continued.
