"Ahem!" Zhang Zizhong was choked by a burst of smoke and coughed, spitting out a mouthful of turbid phlegm, which was full of blood. He hadn't drank water for an unknown amount of time, and his throat felt like it was on fire. But he didn¡¯t even dare to expect a sip of water. The Russian offensive came like a tide again, and the sound of artillery rumbled. The ground on the battlefield had been plowed repeatedly by shells from both sides. There were still many corpses on the ground that had not been cleaned up in time. They were all turned into a pile of debris during the bombing. To put it bluntly, every inch of land is filled with flesh and blood, and both China and Russia are risking their lives. Around the defense line of Lake Baikal, the two sides have been fighting for half a month. The Russians have exhausted all their means, but they have advanced as far as about ten kilometers and are still some distance away from breaking through the defense line. But bad news from the direction of Central Asia has spread, and Yegorov and others also feel heavy pressure. what to do? If there is no breakthrough in the Far East and the army is dragged here, once Central Asia is lost, the Chinese army can easily cut off the Siberian Railway with just their planes. By then, they will be kites with their strings broken, and their life and death will depend on others. in hand. But Yegorov also knew that there was no possibility of their retreat. Otherwise, if the Chinese army pushed over from the Far East, Russia's Asian part would be fatally threatened. In fact, now, Yegorov also regrets a little. They still underestimated China too much, which is why they ended up in the current situation. Yegorov could only desperately beg for troops and weapons. supplies, while desperately attacking the Chinese army. As long as we kill the troops in front of us, we may be able to regain the initiative on the battlefield. ????????????? In fact, for opponents like China and Russia with super thick blood volume, a rough start is nothing. The most important thing is to grit your teeth and hold on. Yegorov also frequently went to the front line to boost morale. "Comrade Yakir, do you feel confident that you can quickly defeat the enemy in front of you?" "Comrade Commander, I am very confident!" Yakir said loudly: "After a long battle, their losses have been very serious. Soldiers "It's also extremely tiring. I think we should concentrate on armored forces, break through the front, and completely defeat the Chinese army." Yegorov thought for a while, and then nodded: "In the field of armored forces, maybe we should learn from the Chinese!" In the hazy sky, a trace of tranquility was restored on the battlefield, and the soldiers were extremely tired. They all slept soundly against the trenches. However, each of them held a gun tightly in their hands, and it seemed that as soon as the gunfire sounded, they could immediately join the battle. "Wake up!" Song Zheyuan patted Zhang Zizhong on the shoulder. Zhang Zizhong woke up suddenly and looked up quickly, only to see Song Zheyuan squatting next to the trench with a smile. There was also a big watermelon in his hand. "Old Song, where did you do it?" "Don't worry about it, hurry up and beat it open, let's eat together." Zhang Zizhong swallowed hard and rubbed his hands: "It's just the two of us. I'm afraid it won't be good. Right?" "Of course it's not ours. Do you think there are others?" Zhang Zizhong looked around. Almost all the soldiers brought by Song Zheyuan came over with watermelons and shared them with the soldiers stationed on the battlefield. Everyone couldn't wait for a long time. Some used daggers to cut open the watermelon, and some directly smashed the watermelon and ate it in big mouthfuls. The juice flowed from the mouth, which was so satisfying. Zhang Zizhong was no longer polite, raised his hand and smashed the watermelon open. ????????????????????????????????????????????? out out of a bite, the sweet juice flowed directly into his heart. Zhang Zizhong gulped it down, and in less than five minutes, half of the watermelon went into his stomach. "Refreshing, I have never eaten such delicious watermelon." Song Zheyuan also jumped into the trench and couldn't help but said: "It has been detected by the superiors. The Russians are concentrating their forces in a large scale. I am afraid that a bloody battle is just around the corner. " "Hey. These Russians are just crazy. They don't take their lives seriously at all. At least two-thirds of my regiment have been consumed. If they were left in the country, they would have collapsed long ago. At this time, we cannot abandon this man, who has a scar as big as a bowl. He must hold on no matter what. " Song Zheyuan also nodded: "Yes, I heard that Zhang Henian's troops have entered Central Asia, and the Russians cannot be rampant. How long has it been" Before they finished speaking, the sound of artillery rumbled in the distance, and artillery shells hit the position one after another. Zhang Zizhong and Song Zheyuan both skillfully entered the anti-gun cave to avoid it. At this moment, a heavy artillery shell landed near the trench, and the three unlucky guys who had just eaten the watermelon were all killed. The battle was so cruel. The Russian artillery fire became more and more fierce. The shells hit the ground like a heavy hammer, causing huge craters like wounds on the earth.?The same, ferocious and terrifying. Before the bombardment ended, the polar bear's offensive began, with forty or fifty T26 tanks rushing ahead. The tank soldiers no longer care about losses. They only have one thought, which is to keep charging! The engine roared, and at this time, more than twenty tanks appeared on the Chinese position, charging towards the Russians. New Snow Leopard tanks have been sent to Central Asia. These tanks are all old models. Fortunately, some improvements have been made, especially the replacement of long-barreled cannons, which not only can shoot farther, but also can shoot more accurately. In fact, according to some reports, the effective shooting distance of the early T26 was only 300 meters. Beyond this distance, it would be inaccurate. The distance between the tanks on both sides was getting closer and closer. When there were still 500 meters away, the Chinese tank took the lead in opening fire. A T26 happened to be hit on the front armor. There was a huge explosion and the tank's turret was immediately blown away. Naturally, the Russian soldiers inside were not spared. One after another, Russian tanks were blown up, while the Chinese losses were minimal. It seems that the Soviet Union¡¯s early tanks did have a lot of problems. It's just that the Russian tank crews worked up their energy and quickly approached the Chinese tanks. Finally, after losing nearly ten tanks, the Russians finally rushed within 300 meters as they wished, and the battle turned into a bayonet fight between steel behemoths. Tanks were blown up and turned into big fireballs. The weapons of war built with heavy gold turned into burning scrap metal. The soldiers inside were lucky enough to escape with their lives, but unfortunately they turned into a pile of charcoal. Both sides had no room to retreat and could only fight each other to the last drop of blood. Every time a Russian tank is destroyed, the Chinese position will let out a burst of cheers, but when their own tanks are hit, they shake their heads and sigh. This tank encounter lasted for more than an hour. The Chinese tanks were exhausted, but the Russians still had a dozen or so that could move. This is the advantage that comes with sufficient quantity. The Russians rolled over towards the Chinese position, and the soldiers behind them followed closely, and finally set foot on the Chinese position. Boom! With a loud noise, the cluster grenade exploded under the tank, and the T26's tracks were immediately broken. The driver inside hurriedly opened the hatch, and thick black smoke poured out. They want to escape. But the bullets came over without mercy, killing all three people who ran out. It was Song Zheyuan who shot, and Zhang Zizhong from the gang also gave a thumbs up. "There are only two moments!" "There are even more powerful ones, just wait and see!" The battle became more and more tense, as flesh and blood competed with steel. Someone is dying every moment. Some soldiers desperately held cluster grenades and died together with Russian tanks. The Russian soldiers rushed to the position, using bayonets to kill and slash, killing both sides. ?¡ And at this time, Central Asia. It was a bit more cruel than the bloody fight here. After Zhang Henian mobilized the main force. Launched a fierce attack on the Russian army in Karaganda. The first thing to solve is the Russian air power. Dive bombers once again played the leading role, and huge fleets appeared in the skies over Karaganda, Astana and other places. These silver war eagles are in groups. Once they launch an attack, each plane is like a cannonball, accurately falling from the sky and dropping bombs on their heads. It is both accurate and hateful. What¡¯s even more terrible is that these bombers are equipped with special devices. Every time they dive downward, they will emit a sharp whistle, like a whistle, but the sound is dozens or hundreds of times louder. Whenever you hear this sound, it's like coming out of hell, and the Russian soldiers' hearts feel like they've been hit with a heavy hammer. They became frightened and restless, and even said that they had formed a conditioned reflex. As long as they heard the whistle, they would be extremely frightened. ?Obviously this is also a psychological tactic, to make the other party fearful and fearful, so that they can look down upon them. After two days of bombing, a total of more than a dozen planes were shot down, and more than 20 planes were destroyed on the runway. These old-fashioned Russian aircraft are obviously no match for China, and the air power brought by Trotsky has almost been lost. However, as an outstanding commander, especially a person with great agitation ability, Trotsky did not pay too much attention. He still firmly believed that victory belonged to him. There are currently more than 30,000 Russian troops and more than 20,000 militiamen in Central Asia. There are also troops arriving in a steady stream. As long as they can survive the initial difficult period, the unlucky ones will definitely be the Chinese. This is during the civil war. Accumulated strong self-confidence. After eliminating the Russian air threat, Zhang Henian commanded the troops, divided into three groups, and pounced on the Russians.?? line. The tanks rumbled and the guns roared. The Chinese armored forces were getting closer and closer. Immediately, Russian artillery was also aimed at these charging monsters. The shells exploded and shrapnel continued to fly among the Snow Leopard tanks. However, for these steel behemoths, it is difficult to destroy except for direct hits. These tanks still rushed forward without hesitation. The Russians on the front line could clearly see the steel bodies of the tanks. The thick 76-gun was aimed at their position. With a loud noise, a machine gun position was destroyed. After hitting it, the machine gun suddenly turned into parts and flew into the sky. The machine gunner was also blown to pieces, and no shadow could be seen at all. The power of this tank was so powerful that the Russians could not help but open their mouths, but time did not allow them to be horrified. "Ula!" With a huge roar, a dozen Russians divided into three sides and rushed towards a Snow Leopard tank. These people formed a group of three, with one person in each group carrying a cluster grenade, and the other two were in charge. cover. They crossed the trench and rushed towards the tank. The Chinese tank soldiers also quickly saw through their plans, and the machine guns were aimed at these people. Click, click, click, bullets swept by, and people were killed one after another. Before he could get close to the tank, it turned into a pile of corpses. However, these Russians were still able to find an opportunity. With a loud bang, the track of a tank was broken, and the twenty-seven-ton behemoth stopped immediately. Although they have lost their mobility, tanks are still the best fortresses. Tank soldiers constantly aim their machine guns at the rushing Russians, and their main guns lock on fortifications one after another and smash them easily. At this time, the Russians were also red-eyed. A soldier rushed onto the tank, but as soon as he came up, he was hit in the head by a bullet, and a thousand peach blossoms suddenly bloomed. But the people behind didn't hesitate at all, jumped up again, opened the hatch cover, and threw the grenade in. Boom! With a violent explosion, the tank was finally killed, but the surroundings were also piled with Russian corpses. In addition to cluster grenades, the Russians also use Molotov cocktails extensively. In fact, this thing was first used by the Chinese, but it was learned by the Russians and used on the Chinese this time. With thick smoke billowing, a tank was ignited again, but fortunately a diesel engine was used and there was no terrible explosion, but the soldiers had to climb out of the tank. In this way, the Russians relied on their crazy energy to contain the tank offensive. The Russian soldiers and the tanks were entangled. At this time, the artillery had already locked in this direction. Round after round of artillery shells came over quickly, and the armored troops that had come to a standstill were bombarded and suffered heavy losses. However, compared to the Chinese side, the Russian soldiers suffered more casualties. This is a completely dead-end strategy. In fact, this also shows the ruthlessness and determination of Trotsky, who will destroy these tanks that threaten him the most at all costs, even if all lives are lost. Seeing one treasure after another being destroyed, Zhang Henian's nose was twisted with anger: "Shameless, he is simply a lunatic, and he won't even spare his own people." "Quickly, let Huang Xiansheng retreat, and the Air Force will bomb me! "The sharp whistle sounded again. The Air Force focused its bombing on the artillery positions. Heavy bombs fell from the sky and hit the Russian positions. The cannons were blown up, soldiers were killed, and Russian corpses Across the fields. But no matter what, the Russians finally blocked China's first round of offensive. They took advantage of the darkness to restore the trenches as quickly as possible and build more effective tank traps. At the same time, every party member and league member became the backbone and formed an assault team, each team dealing with one tank. The battle on the second day was even more bloody. The Chinese mixed tanks and armored vehicles to provide stronger personal protection. A large number of soldiers armed with submachine guns guarded the side, while the Russians were like gophers, hiding in the trenches. , wait until the tanks come, and launch the attack. For two days in a row, Zhang Henian lost more than thirty tanks, but made no progress at all. A circle of blisters suddenly appeared on his lips.
