The power of this 320mm heavy-duty rocket in street battles shocked even the Chinese generals responsible for the attack. The original shortcomings in the range are no longer of concern in the urban streets with dense buildings, but more than 50 kilograms of rockets
But the warhead of the explosive can easily tear apart any fortress. 23 More importantly, this kind of vehicle-mounted rocket can accompany infantry and tanks in attacks. When tank guns, recoilless guns, and rocket launchers are all ineffective, the left and right mounted rockets can
The crawler vehicle carrying three rockets came up from behind and shot out with a striking trajectory, turning all obstacles into rubbish.
However, generally speaking, the First Army's attack did not go smoothly. There were hundreds of thousands of Russian troops guarding the city, and they had a complete defense system, sufficient ammunition reserves, and a tenacious will to fight. When these
When added together, it becomes a steel fortress.
Next, it was the turn of the heavy hammer. At the military airport in Pavlodar, forty Liberator bombers were ready to go. Countless busy ground crews pushed huge bombs to the wing roots of both wings.
There is a dedicated large pylon below each, which is enough to bear the weight of more than one and a half tons. The heavy bombs tailor-made for them were quickly mounted on the aircraft, and then under the command of the control tower, they began to take off and flew towards the eight
Kurgan, more than 100 kilometers away.
At this time, General Kaledin was asking for help from Grand Duke Nicholas of Chelyabinsk. Although the street fighting in Kurgan temporarily blocked the Chinese, he also lost more than a quarter of his men, most of whom were
More than half of them died from shelling and bombing, especially the casualties caused by bombing. Under this situation, if he wanted to hold on in Kurgan until the blizzard arrived, there would be no hope without external support.
Although he was surprised by the number of losses on the front line, fortunately, Archduke Nicholas was also prepared for this. His most elite cavalry corps and a chariot brigade were immediately sent to Kurgan to contain the attacking Chinese First Army from the outside.
As for his side, he had to be on guard against the Chinese Eleventh Army, which might launch an attack on Chelyabinsk at any time, but what he didn't know was that there was a special force waiting for his reinforcements on the Kurgan battlefield.
Just as the Kurgan War kicked off, the First Armored Division led by Nie Xianfan had already crossed the upper reaches of the Bozhar River, then bypassed the Kurgan and moved to the rear, preparing to wait and wait. A heavy tank regiment added another
The steel torrent of the two light tank regiments will crush anyone who dares to harass Qincheng at any time.
After more than two hours of flight, the Liberator fleet finally arrived in Kurgan. Looking at the city below in the flames and smoke, the commander who directed the bombing immediately contacted the First Army Headquarters on the ground.
, orders were soon transmitted by radio from the headquarters to the attacking armies. Eye-catching red smoke rose one after another at several of the most important Russian defense points. The liberators who saw the smoke immediately dived down.
At this time, the Russian air defense force can be said to be gone. After all, those Thunder and Eagles have been bombing for a day. Anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns are their key targets. The Russians can still use them to resist air attacks.
There are only light and heavy machine guns in the hands of infantry. This firepower is almost negligible for the huge liberators. Ordinary bullets hitting them are no different than mosquito bites. In order to pursue accuracy, these bombers even lower their altitude.
After reaching a few hundred meters, it passed over the city like a dark cloud pressing overhead, and at the same time as it passed, giant bombs fell one after another.
Explosions sounded like the earth was falling apart in an instant, and the terrifying power of the mixture of more than 600 kilograms of black gold and aluminum powder wiped out everything around it, whether on the ground or underground, like the hand of the gods.
The shock wave spread violently around like a boulder thrown into a calm pond. The place it passed was a ruin, and the earth was shaking. During the trembling, the underground bunkers near the explosion point collapsed one after another, even those hundreds of meters away from the explosion point.
Meters of Russian underground headquarters were affected. The traces of cracks on the protective layer of reinforced concrete overhead were shocking.
"What?" General Kaledin, who was on the phone, was so shocked that he almost fell over. He looked at each other with his chief of staff in horror, and then rushed towards the observation port in unison. This was the first time he had tasted such a bomb.
They had never thought that there would be such a terrifying weapon in the world. The two of them lay down in the small observation opening, staring at the huge smoke column rising outside, dumbfounded.
Forty Liberators carried eighty such bombs, and only ten were dropped in the first round. Then they easily created ten uninhabited areas of nearly a thousand square meters in Kurgan City and ten that looked very eye-catching in the sky.
There were huge craters, and the power of these bombs was not limited to this. They also easily destroyed the will of the Russian army. Those Russian soldiers who saw how they exploded no longer had the courage to resist to the death in the first place.
Because these bombs have clearly told them that there is no hope for them.
And such explosions are still going on. As the liberators hovering in the sky swoop down from time to time, the sound of horrific explosions continues to sound. At this time, let alone those Russian soldiers, even Kaledin and his men
The generals all began to lose confidence in their mission. Now the only thing that can support them to continue fighting is the expectation of reinforcements.
At this time, in Shumikha, a small town more than 100 kilometers away, the first large-scale tank showdown between the Chinese and Russian armies was taking place. The Russian army reinforcing from Chelyabinsk to Kurgan encountered the Chinese
In the interception of the Army's 1st Armored Division, the one hundred Lynx tanks at the forefront were unable to escape under the attack of three tank regiments encircling them from three directions, so they had no choice but to rush forward. They were very smart.
, chose a light tank regiment, but unfortunately even those Tiger tanks could not compete with their Chinese-made Lynx tanks. The reason why Nie Xianfan dared to attack from three sides was of course not to worry about this problem.
After all, the Russian tanks are made by the same company, and they know their performance very well.
Just when the tanks of both sides were 500 meters apart, they both stopped for a short time almost at the same time. Then the tank cannons sprayed out flames, and the tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles roared towards each other. But unfortunately, the next result made the Russians stupid.
Eyes, in the first round of shooting, they had more than 30 armor-piercing rounds hitting the target, but unfortunately none of them penetrated the opponent's front armor. However, the Chinese on the opposite side had more than 20 rounds hitting the target, and then all of these Russian tanks were hit without exception.
Made into a torch.
Naturally, the 37-ton cannon and the 57-ton cannon cannot be compared with each other, and the same cannot be said for a 13-ton tank and a 20-ton tank.
The sad and angry Russian tank drivers desperately drove their steel beasts forward, while the Chinese tanks on the opposite side retreated at a slightly slower speed. The two sides stopped briefly from time to time while advancing or retreating, followed by a
Armor-piercing projectiles were fired, but the result was still the same. The Russians could not penetrate the front of the Chinese tanks, but the Chinese tanks could easily destroy the Russian tanks. At this time, some smart people began to move around the flanks, hoping to use their speed advantage to get around to the sides.
Attack, but unfortunately at this time the attack of the other two tank regiments began.
The first one to fire was the Dragon in the middle. The powerful 76mm tank gun destroyed a dozen Lynxes from nearly a thousand meters away in the first round. The most brutal one even knocked the turret off with one shot.
, and just when the Dragon Chariot opened fire, the Tigers of another regiment had also accelerated to a speed of nearly fifty kilometers per hour and circled behind the Russians, and then opened fire one after another with five or seven cannons.
By this time, the Russian tank brigade had lost more than half of its tank brigade. If the battle continued, the only result would be annihilation of the entire army. After understanding this, the Russian brigade commander had to order an escape to the north, trying to escape more than ten kilometers away.
He took advantage of the light weight of his tank to escape across the Mias River, but unfortunately, compared to his opponents, his Lynx tank had no advantage in speed. In fact, the fastest of the three tanks was
It is fifty, which means that it is impossible for the Russians to distance themselves.
"Want to run? Now that you're here, don't even think about running away." Nie Xianfan, lying on the turret of his command vehicle, said with a sneer.
"Division Commander, the Russian cavalry has arrived." At this time, the communications soldier reported to him.
Just on the left wing of the 1st Armored Division, countless Cossack cavalry rushed forward heroically like a tide, waving their sabers, while the mortars and light howitzers behind them were also hastily setting up emplacements, preparing to bombard the Chinese tanks.
"We're here, we're here just in time, order the self-propelled artillery and rocket launchers to fire, let them see what fire coverage is first." Looking at the spectacular scene in the telescope, Nie Xianfan said disdainfully.
After receiving his order, five kilometers behind the battlefield, the 120mm self-propelled howitzers and 130mm rocket launchers that had already adjusted their coordinates immediately roared, and dense shells whizzed past the sky, followed by the Russian cavalry.
Exploded, the exploding shrapnel scattered in all directions, easily harvesting lives, especially the rocket launchers. This terrifying weapon directly stunned the Cossacks. Forty nineteen-tube rocket launchers poured 700 bullets over their heads in an instant.
Multiple artillery shells and fire-like explosions made their livers and gallbladders burst.
Unfortunately, this was just the beginning of their nightmare. While the artillery of the 1st Armored Division opened fire, the self-propelled anti-aircraft machine guns used for anti-aircraft quietly opened up, and the two Tiger tank regiments chasing the remaining Russian tanks also withdrew.
, the sharp claws of the steel beasts were all aimed at the poor Russian cavalry. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
