"The Chinese are too bad. Do you dare to fight with real swords and guns?" I believe this is the voice of many Soviet soldiers. When they gathered to prepare to resist the Chinese attack, the result was nothing like the previous two days. The difference is air strikes.
However, even if they did encounter the Chinese Army on the opposite side, they would only be defeated, because the unit in front of them was the number one ace of the Qi Yiming Red Police Corps. 3 Pei, a military district of the Soviet Union, is now a three-star unit of the 1st Red Police Division.
In Qi Yiming¡¯s view, it is not difficult to cross the Ural Mountains to attack Soviet Russia. Sometimes the area is too wide and does provide a lot of depth for the defenders, but this also depends on the situation. For example, Qi Yiming aggressively brought 200,000 troops over. With the area of ????4 million square kilometers in Western Russia, it still depends on the situation. It's really nothing.
The terrain of the Ural Mountains is actually not particularly high, and there are endless plains on both sides of the mountain. The Soviets originally built highways and railways through the mountains. There are many directions to choose from to break through. One is Yekaterinburg in the north, First Uralsk The other route to Perm is from Chelyabinsk, Zlatoust to Ufa via Yulyuzan and Sim.
The South Road has some undulating terrain, which can be a bit troublesome, but with the First Division of the Red Police in charge, it shouldn't be a serious problem. The northern road directly bypasses the Ural Mountains. The Kama River, a tributary of the Volga River, cuts through the Ural Mountains, making the middle section of the Ural Mountains not only relatively flat, but even surrounded by valley plains.
Qi Yiming's Red Police Corps and other countries' troops are almost fully mechanized and heavily equipped troops. They cannot cross the mountains and can only take highways and railways. The flat terrain of the northern line facilitates the maneuverability of Qi Yiming's troops. When the border between Siberia and Makashev was divided, the border between Sverdlovk Oblast and Perm Oblast was relatively hastily used as the actual control boundary. Both sides are basically defenseless. The E2 highway crosses the two states, which is a natural advantage for the attacker.
After China announced that it would use troops against Makashev's Soviet army, Leopold deployed heavy defense forces in the Perm region, especially in this area, which is crisscrossed by river valleys. Although there are no permanent military fortifications, it can still be defended. ¡ÍThe attacking party feels uncomfortable. However, the flat and lack of shelter suffered a disaster as soon as Operation Thunder Strike began, and even had to abandon the established defense lines one after another to avoid suffering a more severe blow.
The main offensive on the northern front is the Siberian and Far Eastern armies. There are about 100,000 people from both sides gathered together, all equipped with Soviet-made equipment. Speaking of which, these troops are not the most elite forces of the two countries, but after the independence of the two countries, the reorganization of the troops They have not stopped training and training, and they are much better than the miserable Soviet army now.
Although the armies of the two countries are also along the highway, it is not necessary because there are at least tens of kilometers of plains on both sides of the highway to facilitate the movement of their heavily armed troops. The Soviet Russian army here is a defense force of just over 20,000. They were severely punished by the Air Force in the first two days. Now they are depleted and suddenly attacked by the Siberian and Far Eastern armies. They did not last long before being repulsed.
However, the average quality of this Soviet army was slightly higher. Although it suffered a defeat, it was not completely defeated. Instead, it retreated in an orderly manner under the command of the army commander. The Siberian and Far Eastern armies also pursued them, attacking the Soviet rearguard troops one after another and eating up the Soviet troops one by one.
The commanders of the Soviet Army actually had their own little calculations. They planned to lure the coalition forces deep into the enemy, then pull them to a deep enough place, and then concentrate their forces to defeat them. However, there were several technical problems that allowed their plan to be finally launched, but the effect after deployment was completely different.
First, the Soviet defense force on the northern route is only 50,000 to 60,000 people, and the Siberian and Far Eastern Army, the coalition forward force alone, is a large combined army of 100,000 people. After luring the enemy deep, even if the Soviet Russian army uses its troops, It's definitely not an advantage, and it might still be a tough battle.
Second, the Joint 6th Army of Siberia and the Far East Army is the vanguard, followed by the Joint 1st Army, the Joint 2nd Army and the Joint 19th Army, with as many as 300,000 troops. The Fifth Army has entered, and the following three The group army will definitely follow up after receiving the order. It is not certain who will encircle and who will be encircled by then.
After Qi Yiming established a unified joint operations headquarters for the convenience of joint command, he reorganized the organization of the twelve-nation coalition and established twenty joint armies. Basically, Siberia, the Far East, and Kazakhstan of the former Soviet Union republics. Because the Soviet-made weapons formed 6 combined armies, those who also used Chinese weapons were listed separately, and formed the other 14 combined armies with the Red Police Corps and the remaining friendly forces from small countries.
Qi Yiming did not put the small countries who came to buy equipment into the same army group, because then the combat effectiveness could not be guaranteed. The troops of a single country were stuffed into the army group mainly composed of red police troops to make up the numbers.
To be honest, there is almost no difference in equipment level between the two sides on the Northern Front. They are all Soviet-made weapons, butThe United Fifth Army cannot help but be larger in size and have more numbers. Maybe if one division is fighting one division, the Soviet Army can still fight, but if the number is too different, it will be impossible to fight at all.
The Fifth Army also first called the air force and added its own artillery to blast for a while, and then tanks and mechanized infantry rushed up. There was nothing clever about this tactic, but with such fierce force, the Soviet army could not stand it and had to retreat. The Fifth Army of the Northern Front pursued the Soviet Army all the way to the state capital, Perm. At this time, the Soviet Army also slowed down, and several other units also moved closer, and started fighting with the Fifth Army on the outskirts of Perm. A relatively fierce battle ensued.
At the beginning, the battle between the more than 60,000 Soviet Russian troops and the Fifth Army was still inextricable, and the Fifth Army could not take much advantage. However, until the United Second Army, which had three reorganized Red Police Divisions, arrived, the Soviet Union The army could no longer resist. The firepower of a single Red Police Division is comparable to that of the entire Fifth Army with Soviet-made equipment. Large swaths of Type 99 main battle tanks crisscrossed the battlefield, cutting off the Soviet troops one after another like a sickle harvesting wheat.
The unstoppable Soviet troops wanted to withdraw into the city of Perm, but were blocked by the fast-moving Red Police Division. They had no choice but to drop their weapons in large areas and surrender to the coalition forces. The northern line was penetrated by the coalition forces, allowing the coalition forces to obtain the first breakthrough point. To the southwest from Perm are important Russian cities such as Kazan and Ulyanovsk, which are also the main areas where the Soviet Russian army is located, all the way to the By attacking in the west, we can break into Moscow, the current home base of the Soviet Russian army.
The victory was achieved on the northern front, and the United First Army, which started from Chelyabinsk in the center, was also unequivocal. Although it was very dangerous for the army to travel through the tree-lined avenues, and it was far less convenient than the northern line traveling through the plains, they still crossed the Ural Mountains as expected and arrived at the Republic of Bashkortostan.
Qi Yiming was still wary at first, worried that the Soviet army would break up into pieces and use small forces to attack and harass his troops in the Ural Mountains. But now it seems that the Soviet army does not have the IQ, but probably does not have the execution ability. They They were worried about what would happen if the soldiers were released and deserted or surrendered to the enemy, so in the end they had no choice but to start a battle on the battlefield.
To the east of Ufa, the capital of the Republic of Bashkortostan, the Soviet Russian army deployed several lines of defense to defend against the attacks of the coalition forces. However, after the Thunderbolt Strike began, these lines of defense could not be maintained at all. When the First Division of Red Alert When they rushed up first, the defense line did not achieve the expected defensive effect at all. The dug trenches were directly bulldozed and filled by engineering tanks, and even the Chinese tanks were able to run over the trenches directly.
During this period, some conflicts of varying sizes broke out. The Soviet Russian army dispatched tanks to block the advance of the 1st Red Police Division, but they were unable to hold back the 1st Red Police Division. More than a dozen T2 tanks rushed up. These T2s were not the T2Es equipped with 1130-horsepower engines specifically for cheating in later tank competitions. However, even those T2Es that could be called "tank racing cars" in later generations were more suitable for running. Not suitable for off-roading.
The inherently poor fire control cannot ensure the accuracy of shooting in an environment with extremely poor driving stability. What's more, these T2 opponents are not designed to adapt to the UUA tanks in the southern region with dense water networks, but are the first red alert tanks. The division is equipped with 99 main battle tanks that are less than a year old.
The Type 99 tank, which can be called the devil-level tank among the third-generation main battle tanks, has been changed to the fifth version by the base and Norinco. The total combat weight has dropped from the 6 tons of the 99 back to 6.6 tons. The reason is that the new tank uses a large number of new materials, which greatly increases its defense power. The frontal defense power has reached a terrifying level equivalent to 26 mm of homogeneous armor. Even the defense power of weak positions such as the sides and rear has a defense power of more than 700 mm. . The model also increases the power of the engine again, to 186 horsepower, and the power-to-weight ratio is nearly 3 horses per ton. In addition, the design capability of hitting artillery-launched missiles has been increased to make its missions richer.
At a distance of five thousand meters or even six thousand meters, the 99 can shoot artillery-launched missiles. At this time, the T2 can't even see the shadow of a 99 tank. The gun-launched missile that penetrates the barrel is a new generation product of China. When attacking the tank at the end, there will be a sudden jump, and then it will attack the most vulnerable roof part of the tank from above.
These dozen T2s did not even come face-to-face with the 99s, but were all blown up by several 99s with artillery-launched missiles. The scene was really shocking. The 99 main battle tank is like a heroic knight wearing heavy armor and a famous horse on the battlefield, waving the horse's spear at will to knock off the soldiers one after another.
Until late in the battle, when the Soviet tank soldiers saw the Chinese 99, they would even jump out of the car immediately, cursing and shouting: "How to fight such a monster?"
