The poor Cossack cavalrymen, before they could fully wake up from the crazy attacks of the rocket launchers, were immediately hit by the violent storm of large-caliber bullets from the self-propelled anti-aircraft machine guns. Twenty high-speed self-propelled anti-aircraft machine guns were bombarded with mortar shells.
The flames of the explosion were like a huge broom, sweeping across the entire battlefield in an instant. Eighty 14.5mm machine guns poured a heavy rain of steel on the Russian army at a speed of tens of thousands of rounds per minute, leaving a bloody mess wherever it went.
Flying horizontally, this scene even frightened Krasnov, the commander of this cavalry. ()
It was true that he had heard of this kind of thing. After all, an entire cavalry division hated the muzzles of such mechanical monsters, but hearing about them and feeling their horror in person were two different things.
"Asshole, come back and go around the two wings!" He yelled like crazy at his subordinates who had begun to retreat. Unfortunately, no one listened to him at this time. This is an anti-aircraft machine gun. It can shoot for one or two kilometers without any problem.
It's not like they haven't seen the ferocity of this kind of machine gun's horizontal fire on the European battlefield. At that time, they were not mobile enough and there were ways to deal with them, but they were mounted on tanks, so who could deal with them.
Besides, there are not only self-propelled anti-aircraft machine guns facing them, but also heavy machine guns and 12.7mm machine guns on tanks. There are at least two of the former and one of the latter on a tank. Two tank regiments have more than 200 guns.
Each tank adds up to more than 600 machine guns.
Damn it, let's charge against a total of almost 700 machine guns of various calibers. How is this different from asking us to commit suicide? What's more, there are equally brutal artillery fires. Isn't this nonsense? Cossack bravery does not mean that he is willing to die.
The gang of cavalrymen looked at their commander with contempt, and then continued to flee from this hell frantically.
"You cowards!" General Krasnov looked sadly and angrily at his subordinates who had completely let go of the sheep. However, he had nothing to do. He couldn't just charge at the seven hundred machine guns bravely and noblely! As a result, the situation of the battle had already changed.
Unable to recover, even he turned his horse around and ran away.
Just when the cavalry was defeated, the Russian tanks that fled towards the Mias River failed in the end. For them, the distance of more than ten kilometers was an insurmountable gap between life and death. Those who were pursuing them behind them
Under the attack of the Dragon tank, the last Russian tank was finally knocked off the turret by a 76mm armor-piercing round. This interception operation ended perfectly. Nie Xianfan was in no mood to continue to attack, so he just
It was too unrealistic for the division to attack Chelyabinsk. However, more than fifty bombers that came to provide air support for him chased him forward for a while. It was very difficult to shoot the cavalry with large-caliber machine guns in the sky.
What was so exciting was that the pilots went crazy for fun. One of the bombers even flew too low and crashed into a tree because they were having too much fun. This was considered a rare shootdown record for the Russians.
The result of this battle made Grand Duke Nicholas completely sober. He understood how pale his offensive capabilities were when facing the Chinese. It can be said that without a solid fortress, he had no chance of winning even a small-scale battle.
, in this case, just stay there honestly, time is in your favor anyway, as long as you delay it until the snowstorm comes, everything will be fine.
As for Kaledin, he can only hold on to it with all his strength. Whether he can hold on to this depends on him. In fact, Grand Duke Nicholas is not worried about this. Although the task he gave Kaledin is one month, he only needs to
It is enough to hold on for half a month. Once the railway is destroyed and the Chinese build roads as they go, they will definitely not be able to reach Chelyabinsk before winter comes.
As for whether Kaledin can hold on to this for half a month, there is definitely no suspense. Even if they put hundreds of thousands of pigs there, it is hard to say whether the Chinese can catch them all in half a month, let alone hundreds of thousands of them fully armed.
A big living person. Unfortunately, he forgot that pigs will not go out and surrender with their hands raised, but people will.
In the ensuing battle, Qincheng, who was not distracted, still used the tactics of steadily advancing on the ground and slamming with heavy hammers from the sky. The domestically produced heavy bombs were directly transported by airships and transport planes in batches to the military airport in Pavlodar and then installed.
Get on the Liberator bomber and throw it into Kurgan, like a killing assembly line, smashing this demon that makes the Russians despair on their heads. This battle lasted for three days, and by the afternoon of the third day, actually
Four Liberators flew in from China. When they saw what was hanging on the belly of the aircraft, the pilots of the bomber wing almost fainted.
This is an oversized bomb. It is too big to be installed in the bomb bay and can only be hung outside the Liberator. What they don't know is that Emperor Yang is obsessed with this kind of thing recently and is developing those one-ton bombs.
When he was half a bomb, he was thinking about playing a bigger one. Although he couldn't find a plane to throw it in the Grand Slam, there was still no pressure on the high-cupboard level liberator, so he also asked the arsenal to create a bomb at the same time.
A batch of six-ton bombs were made, and then the four latest Liberators were modified so that they could directly mount such bombs.
Because there was no transport aircraft capable of carrying it, and even the cargo hold of the airship could not bear such a heavy weight, we had to let the four Liberators fly over from Beijing with four bombs without fuses, and the fuses were placed directly on them.
In the cabin, Emperor Yang also gave his new toy an atmospheric name: the mother of bombs.
The arrival of these four bombs sent Pavlodar Airport into a panic. The ground crew and mechanics all swarmed around the four Liberators. Such a long-distance flight must have required maintenance. They have been busy for half the night.
Early the next morning, I put the fuse on the mother of four bombs and took off again, heading straight for Kurgan.
In fact, in Kurgan City, Kaledin and his men were already wavering at this time. In just three days of fighting, the Russian casualties were close to half. The ground attack could still be withstood. So far, the Chinese could only
Controlling less than one-fifth of the urban area of Kurgan, the aerial bombardment, especially those super bombs, was so desperate. In the face of these things that kept falling one after another, even the most tenacious soldiers could not
Losing their fighting spirit, facing the whizzing super bombs, they felt like a weak girl facing a gorilla or polar bear, as helpless as a gorilla.
No one has the courage to fight in such a situation.
"Your Excellency, Commander, we must think about the remaining nearly 100,000 lives." In the underground headquarters that had been shaken with cracks, a group of generals were surrounding Kaledin, and one of them said with compassion on his face.
.
"You should understand what it means for Kurgan to fall in a short period of time. The enemy can directly approach the Ural River before winter comes, and the entire empire in Asia will no longer be in possession. Next, the Chinese will set foot on the Volga River Basin,
What was left of the Russian Empire at that time? You should have heard the Beijing Declaration. The Chinese goal is to carve up our country with Germany and Austria-Hungary. Only if we firmly block them here can we possibly keep it in future negotiations.
More territory." Kaledin said righteously.
"But we will fail after all. Your Excellency Commander, we are not those gray animals. We all know this. We cannot win the war. If the Chinese want the land east of the Volga River, then we can only
Give them, does the current Russian Empire still have the ability to continue fighting with them? Population, industry, weapons, financial resources, what can we do to defy the will of His Majesty the Emperor, the courage of the soldiers? Courage in the face of bombs falling from the sky
What's the use? In this case, we don't want to let Russia's blood continue to be shed pointlessly, we have already shed enough blood." A major general said pessimistically.
I have to say that this guy's mind is still very clear. In fact, most of the Russian generals he said understood, including Kaledin, that Yang Feng really insisted on east of the Volga River, and in the end Russia could only give it to him. Both sides
It is no longer an opponent of the same level now, even if the Allied Powers are tied together, and if he alone wants the east of the Volga River at that time, it is absolutely impossible for Russia's allies in Britain and France to continue to defend this land and
The Russian people are fighting side by side. In this case, there is really no need to continue fighting. After five years of fighting, it can be said that we are exhausted. Now we just want to rest.
For a moment, the entire command headquarters felt dejected.
"Your Excellency, Commander, those four-engine bombers are here again!" At this time, an officer came over and said with unconcealable fear.
"Alas!" Kaledin and a group of generals stood up and walked to the observation port. They looked at the group of bombers in the sky and couldn't help but sigh.
The moment he sighed, he saw a bomber suddenly leaving the group and descending, and then hovering over a major fortress. Soon, a black spot could be vaguely seen falling from the belly of the aircraft. This made Kaledin
He couldn't help but feel doubtful. This was the first time he had seen a bomb with his naked eyes. Before he could think too much, the black spot had already hit the fortress, and then he saw that the entire ground seemed to be jumping upwards.
In an instant, an unprecedented explosion of fire overwhelmed everything. Like a flame demon stretching its body, it expanded outward at a frightening speed, swallowing everything in its path.
When the expansion of the flames stopped, the air waves did not stop, but continued to expand at almost the same speed. Everything in the path of the eye-catching impact line was instantly flattened, and it even kept pointing in front of him.
Come. At this time, a huge explosion hit his face with smoke, dust and air waves. The gravel hit him and he screamed. Then he felt the ground under his feet shaking violently like an earthquake, and the reinforced concrete above his head made an overwhelming sound.
There was a shattering sound, and then the entire headquarters screamed. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
