    Chapter 185: Quick and decisive peripheral cleaning battle

    The military command is like a mountain, and the general command of the army ordered, the front finger of Chim Kente could only be executed in a hard scalp.  Since the beginning of the war, the tenacity of the Soviet army has exceeded that of the previous Central Asian battles. During the process of cleaning up the periphery, many Soviet positions were in a situation where all the Soviet troops were killed and refused to retreat.  At present, the Soviet army has the last fast position left outside Shymkent, which is also the last commanding height of the Soviet army outside the city. If we capture this fort on the hillside, which is only two kilometers away from the city, and add artillery, we can attack the city.  Any target you want to hit.

    An infantry regiment of the Soviet Army was stationed at this position. The regiment commander, Deryyanko, received an order to defend the position and there would be no reinforcements.  After many days of bombing and shelling, the forts on the position had long been removed, and the only ones left on the position were infantry and four 76-guns.  The artillery in the city will not fire reinforcements. The reason is simple: there are not many artillery shells.  Under the indiscriminate bombing of the Chinese Air Force, the railways and highways from Shymkent to Tashkent were severely damaged.  The commander of the city defense, Krolev, was ordered to defend the city without any reinforcements. Fighting to the last moment was the only option.

    It was precisely because they knew they were on the verge of death that the Soviet army fought so hard.  Of course, you can surrender, but your family members are in the country. If they are found to have surrendered, your family members will have to go to a labor camp.  Well, that¡¯s what the political commissar said anyway!

    The top of the mountain is not very high, and it is only about 1,500 meters from the slope to the position.  The Chinese artillery fire was so fast and fierce that the soldiers in the front line could only hide in the anti-gun holes and endure the hardship. Those who were unlucky were directly hit by the 155 howitzer in the anti-gun holes, and they collapsed and were buried alive.  Delyyanko's command post was the command post of the previous fort. The two 122-mm howitzers on the fort had been killed by the Chinese air force in a dive. There was no damage to the command post inside the mountain.

    The sound of artillery finally stopped. From the gun scope, we could see the Chinese infantry leaping out of the trenches two thousand meters away. The skirmishers were lined up widely, and they didn't seem to be in any hurry to rush forward.  It seems that the fighting spirit of the Chinese people has been consumed a lot in the continuous battles.

    "Hurry up, hurry up and get into position!" The soldiers in the anti-gun cave surged out.  The officer stood at the entrance of the cave and kept shouting.  When the soldiers on the position are ready.  The Chinese infantry was still 1,500 meters away. Jelyenko breathed a sigh of relief. This time the attack could be carried out.  On the first day of the war, the Chinese infantry did not fight like this. They used the cover of night to lurk 300 to 500 meters in front of the position, and immediately launched a fierce attack after preparing artillery fire.  This move is not easy to use during the day. If you have the opportunity in the future, you will have to guard against their move. Several hills were knocked down by the Chinese using this move.

    Maxim¡¯s ammunition belt has been clipped, and the DP machine gunner is also ready.  Mosin-Nagant's insurance has been opened, and the Soviet troops on the position are waiting patiently.  After a morning of fighting.  There were still thirty or forty corpses left in front of the position that the Chinese had not brought back.  Some brave soldiers were addicted to cigarettes, so they quietly went down to find cigarettes and got back two Chinese soldiers' rifles.  After seeing the rifles equipped by the Chinese, Jelyenko felt very envious.  The firepower of this semi-automatic rifle is completely different from that of the Mosin Nagant. The Chinese also have a submachine gun for infantry equipment with a thirty-round magazine.  It shoots like a machine gun.

    Just when Jelyenko thought the Chinese infantry would continue to charge forward, suddenly these Chinese infantry fell down collectively.  Jelyenko was shocked, what's going on?  Before he could react, a dense whistling sound sounded in the air, just like the howling wind that Jelyenko heard when he was a boy on the edge of the North Sea.

    In just a few seconds, the entire Soviet position began to shake violently. Jelyenko, who was hiding in the command post inside the mountain, witnessed with his own eyes the birth of a hellish sea of ????fire.

    Yang Zui, deputy commander of the Mountain Army and commander of the Third Mountain Division, looked at the sea of ????fire on the position with a telescope with satisfaction.  He reached out and patted the shoulder of the rocket launcher battalion commander Liu Geng next to Pai and said: "Well done, these old guys are quite troublesome. The infantry division in front of them fought for a whole day and they didn't win. But let me tell you, they are too rigid in fighting.  , I don¡¯t even know how to be more flexible.¡±

    Chief of Staff Zhou Xuefeng also looked proud. The mountain troops are definitely the elite of the army. Well, they cannot be compared with the mechanized army.  "Since the mechanization of the army, our mountain army has become a concubine." Zhou Xuefeng still couldn't help complaining. Yang Zui said with a crooked mouth: "Nonsense, in the end, it depends on the infantry to solve the problem. On this mountain top  , can a tank feint attack be good? Why should it be 30 degrees?" This is a bit contrary to one's will. In fact, the Great Wall Type IV tank can easily climb a 45 degree slope.  The steepest point on this mountain is about 35¡ã at most.

    The Soviet troops who had just entered the position were given a hard and vicious blow. In just five minutes, the rocket launchers cleared the Soviet position several times.  As soon as the sound of artillery stopped, the mountain division that was showing off before turned into a dragon and moved towards the place at an extremely fast speed.Conflict.  In less than three minutes, these troops had rushed to less than 500 meters from the front of the Soviet position.

    At this time, Delikov looked at the mess on the battlefield. The soldiers had not recovered from the severe beating just now. The casualties must have been huge, but he couldn't care less.  The remaining four 76-guns were also pushed out of the bunker at this time, and they tilted the shells toward the position desperately.

    The Mountain Division infantry who were rushing forward were very experienced and quickly spread out to take cover. Some of them were still crawling forward. The exposed Soviet artillery was found by two Mustang fighter jets cruising nearby. The cannons were silenced after a dive.  .  The four 76-guns only bought five minutes. During this period, the Soviet officers on the position had already pushed the soldiers back into the trenches.

    The few remaining DP machine guns rang out, and two Chinese soldiers were hit and fell to the ground. The general-purpose machine guns equipped to the squad suppressed them like rain, making the Soviet troops on the battlefield unable to raise their heads.  The mortars fired continuously, and brave soldiers continued to fire despite the suppression. At the same time, officers and soldiers continued to be hit and fell to the ground.

    Delyyanko took out his pistol and shouted to the political commissar: "I'm going to the reserve team. You organize everyone in the command post to reinforce me." He rushed out of the command post and found his last reserve team, an infantry company, without saying a word.  Then he led the infantry to the front position.  At this time, the existence of the headquarters was of little significance. After a morning of fierce fighting, more than half of the more than 2,000 people on the position had suffered casualties. After the rocket launch just now, there was definitely no more than one battalion of troops on the position.

    This was Jelyonko¡¯s last effort, but less than three minutes after he and the reserve team left the hiding place, 120 mortar shells came down, and they were still smoke bombs, which fell on the position to cover things up.  The anxious Jelyonke led his men to run faster. When he was less than 300 meters away from the position, there was another roar in the sky. Jelyonke instinctively fell to the ground, and dense shells fell to the ground. Less than five  Meters away, three soldiers were blown away.  This is a 75-caliber howitzer equipped by the Chinese, also called a 75-caliber field gun.  This kind of field artillery designed to fire at a rate of up to 15 rounds per minute can fire at a rate of more than 20 rounds per minute in the hands of Chinese artillery. I really don¡¯t know how they trained it.

    The artillery fire to block the suppression was fired fast and urgently. Jelyenko had no choice but to take the lead and rush to the position. During the gaps between the artillery fire, he jumped into a crater in front of him at the critical moment.  He didn't know what happened to the others. Anyway, as long as he rushed forward, others would follow suit.

    Just when Delyyanko was less than thirty meters away from the trench, a 120-mm mortar shell fell next to him, and the flying piece was fiercely embedded in his neck, severing the aorta.  Jelyenko was like a chicken with its throat cut off, twitching and struggling, and stopped moving after a while.

    "Brothers, you did a great job. I'll give you credit when I get back." Yang Zui put away the binoculars with satisfaction, and went up to the position with just one charge. In front of the mountain division's submachine guns, the Soviet infantry was beaten into sieves.  fate.

    "Tata, Tata!" A Maxim machine gun that had been hidden for a long time rang out. Two soldiers were knocked to the ground. The nearby general-purpose machine gun quickly suppressed it. At the same time, a rocket launcher could only risk his life by squatting due to vision problems.  Shooting with a bazooka.  With a bang, when a rocket hit the machine gun, the brave rocket launcher was hit by three evil bullets. He leaned back on the spot and fell to the ground.

    An hour later, the remaining Soviet troops on the top of the mountain huddled in the command post inside the mountain. They shouted multiple times and refused to surrender. There were also gunshots inside. Two soldiers appeared from the flank carrying flamethrowers, and other soldiers  As they dispersed, a fire dragon entered from the entrance of the cave.

    After a while, a soldier covered in fire screamed in pain and staggered out of the hole. After being shot dead by a submachine gun, the pain ended.  Two melon grenades were thrown into the cave. After two bangs, the infantry rushed in.  The soldiers who rushed in saw corpses on the ground. One of the officers was still holding a pistol in his hand. A soldier had a hole in his stomach with a bayonet. The soldier's brain was also opened by a gun and flowed out.  His brains have been roasted.

    Finally, three prisoners were captured from the command post. After interrogation, they found out that there was an internal strife in the cave. The political commissar and several political workers refused to allow everyone to surrender. A dozen soldiers resisted. When they fought together, flames sprayed out.  The device was scanned in.  Amidst the choking smell of oil fumes, several soldiers were burned to death, and political workers were shot to death by other soldiers. The one with the pistol in his hand was the political commissar.

    Soon the mountain division cleared the entire hilltop position, and two 105 cannons were dragged up the hill, facing the Shymkent city, looking for valuable targets and ready to fire at any time.

    In Samarkand, Zhukov received two pieces of bad news. The first bad news came from Sirdaria. 48 hours later, all the outer positions of the city were cleared by the Chinese army.  The second bad thingThe news came an hour late, and Shymkent suffered the same fate.  In the peripheral defense battle, Lukin lost about five infantry divisions.

    The intensity of the attack of the Chinese ** team finally confirmed Zhukov's somewhat worried thoughts.
