Chapter 42 Decisive Battle in North China (8)
The crazy legion was centered on Tumu Fort, and the front line of dozens of kilometers was formed into a pot of porridge. Groups of shells gathered into a fiery red waterfall with steel and fire, rushing back and forth in the sky, the rumbling and explosions tore the earth, and large pieces of flying sand and fire rushed straight to the sky. On the battlefield covered by gunfire, large groups of chariots were roaring, rushing towards the opponent like beasts, and dazzling flashes burst out in untidy rows. High-pressure smoothbore cannons were roaring, and armor-piercing shells were chiseling towards the front armor of the opposite tank at an astonishing speed of more than a thousand meters per second. After a series of hot air waves, there was a harsh sound of armor penetrating the body of the chariot being hit. Short-range ballistic missiles flew through the night sky, long-range cannons were bombarded, and large groups of fighter jets were entangled, killing them indistinguishable!
This time, the Seventh Assault Army had no spare force. All three divisions were pressing on. The Army Aviation Brigade affiliated to the Army attacked desperately, and used anti-tank missiles and rockets to rush the front line of the armored troops of the 27th Army over and over again. Under the 27th Army's air defense firepower attack, which had almost no gap, the entire Army Aviation Brigade basically lost all. At this cost, they destroyed 27 tanks and more than 30 of the 27th Army's 27th Army's 27th Army's 20th Army's 20th Army's 20th Army's 27th Army's 20th tanks and more than 30
An armored vehicle and more than 70 cars can be said to have killed 1,000 enemies and lost 100 yuan. The 7th Armored Brigade of the 27th Army also suffered heavy losses under the attack of the integrated firepower of the Soviet air and ground. Within an hour, 80% of the tanks were destroyed and injured, leaving only seven or eight Type 69a main battle tanks hidden in piles of tank wreckage and fired repeatedly, blowing up the Soviet tanks that rushed up one by one. The battle situation was so tragic that it was shocking.
After fighting until almost one o'clock in the night, a faint roar came from Luan County. Then, the soldiers of the two armies were surprised to see that the sky was blasted by the explosion, turning into a sickly bright red. The flames reflected the blood flowing on the ground, reflecting a strange blood light. The sky and the earth were covered with blood. Such a cruel and magnificent picture made every witness unforgettable for life. The ground was shaking, not because of the explosion, but because hundreds of tanks and countless vehicles were coming along a river that had been dry for many years. The whistle of the tail wing stable shell-piercing armor-piercing bomb was like countless needles piercing everyone's membrane.
The subsequent explosion turned this sting into a torn pain. The right wing of the 27th Army was attacked by an unprecedented fierce attack. In just a few minutes, an infantry regiment lost more than 90% of its armored vehicles and self-propelled artillery. A large group of tanks rushed over the pool of blood and rumbling. It was the Kantemirovka Tank Division directly under the command of the Third Soviet Army Group! This was the case every time. When the battle situation was in a stalemate, the Soviet commander would join the Guards and make a final decision. General Yang Silan told Liu Weiping to be careful of the Soviet Guards before his death, which was not without reason.
The commander bit his lips heavily, grabbed his bare head with hissing force, almost catching Mars. The 81st Division on the right wing has always been the target of the Soviet army's key attacks, enduring huge casualties, and has reached the point where the oil was exhausted. The Soviet army invested the most elite guard division at this critical moment, and the timing was so accurate!
After fighting hard for a whole day, the exhausted 81st Division would definitely not be able to stop the fierce attack of one guard division and one Mojian division of the Soviet army. The collapse of the right wing was a foregone conclusion. He lost this fierce battle of blood and blood.
"Report to the Battle Zone Command: Our army fought hard for nearly twenty hours, repelled the Soviet army's thirteen attacks, and gave the enemy a lot of damage, but its own casualties were also very heavy, and they were unable to repel the enemy's attack. They were ready to retreat according to the plan. Please prepare for the 26th Army to take the enemy!"
Despite his reluctance, he still issued this order that was almost as shameful to him——The war zone command gave him the order to withstand the Soviet army for twenty-four hours, and he failed to complete the task!
The theater command replied in a few minutes: Agree!
Liu Weiping did not blame the 27th Army too much, and it was not easy to withstand nearly twenty hours. He ordered: "The Air Force covered the Air Assault Division and the Pterosaur Fighter Wing to launch an attack on the Soviet armored forces to help the 27th Army get rid of the Soviet army's pursuit!"
The Air Division was pressing down, with more than 60 J-10 fighters and more than 40 J-12cs covering nearly 200 helicopters and turboprop fighters, and fiercely attacking the Soviet armored forces. The fighter rushed to the front, rushing hard, forcing the Soviet front-line aviation troops to retreat for 50 kilometers. Armed helicopters and turboprop fighters took the opportunity to dive down, and anti-tank missiles and rockets turned into fireballs, as dense as a sudden rain, as fast as a meteor, covering the Soviet armored forces, and forcibly firewalls were fired in the middle of the scattered lines of the two armies. The Soviet tanks that were pursuing and attacking were shot and exploded one after another. The fires soared into the sky. The air defense forces accompanied by the attack of the armored forces immediately opened fire, and the ballistics formed a shiny net of red and shiny sky. Whether it was a helicopter or a turboprop fighter, they all
They were shot and caught fire, and fell from the sky with a sad roar. What the Soviet army was unbelievable was that even with such a fierce attack, the Chinese turboprop fighters still rushed over one after another, desperately smashing anti-tank missiles and napalm bombs on their armored units! At the most fierce attack, a Soviet captain even saw nine turboprop fighters catching fire and explode at the same time, but those turboprop fighters were still rushing towards them like moths to the flames. They were not afraid of death, they just couldn't fight them! The ground and the air were full of flames and fragments flew around. This kind of fierce battle with life is extremely rare in modern wars. Perhaps only when the Soviet Union and China, two great powers that were both domineering the army and were equally brave and fearless, could such sparks be created.
For the Wingdon Turboprop Fighter Unit who was on the battlefield for the first time, the frontal attack on the Soviet army with strong air defense firepower was a disaster. Almost every fighter was hit, and almost every minute the fighter was shot and caught fire. However, the theater command had no better choice. In the past two months of fierce battles, armed helicopters suffered heavy losses. Even the top elite air assault divisions, their attack capabilities against the ground were greatly weakened. The Hafei production base had long been destroyed by the fire and had not been able to resume production until now. Sending gunboats or even attack aircraft was simply a death. Liu Weiping's best integrated air-ground combat had a loophole, and it could only be filled with turboprop Fighters, otherwise this battle would be even more difficult to fight.
The fledgling Wingdon turboprop fighter unit did not disappoint the Republic's high expectations. Although it suffered heavy losses, it became more and more courageous in the battle. Under the desperate attack, it temporarily curbed the Soviet offensive, winning precious time for the retreat of the 27th Army. The price was 120 turboprop fighters. In the end, less than seventy people returned to the base, and more than 30 pilots sprinkled blood from the blue sky. The price paid by the Soviet army was also quite heavy. More than 100 tanks and more than 200 cars were either beaten into scrap iron or burned into twisted empty shells by napalm bombs, and the scorched corpses were everywhere.
Although it was a pity that the 27th Army failed to annihilate, it was a surprise that he could shoot down dozens of Chinese fighter jets in one go. The Third Army was very morale and advanced rapidly, and hit the defense line of the 26th Army. At this time, the 26th Army had been fighting fiercely with the 11th Guard Mojian Division, which was interspersed with the 11th Guard Mojian Division.
A few days later, the Soviet army, who was delighted to shoot down many turboprop fighters in pain, discovered that in just a few days, the Chinese army made up the lost turboprop fighters. South Flying, up Flying, Cheng Fei, and West Flying were all producing such cheap and fierce firepower fighters day and night. One aircraft was assembled, filled with fuel, and flew directly to the front line to participate in the war, even exempting debugging. Everything was simple during the war. A strong industrial foundation, fearless pilots and countless selfless technical workers turned the turboprop fighter troops into a powerful brigade that could not be defeated, dragging the Soviet army into the swamp of the war of attrition.
Liu Weiping didn't need to go to the front line to see. If you close your eyes, you can imagine that the speed is like a snail climbing compared to the jet fighter. The pilots lack practical experience in practical combat will face such a fierce battle under the strangled Soviet air defense forces. For him, sending a large number of pilots who are not much older than his son to the front line was a torture to his soul, but he had no choice. In order to defend Beijing and win, this price must be paid. As the battle situation gradually heated up, the price they were going to pay would only become heavier and heavier. There was no time to think about it, and a very bad news came:
Luan County was bombed violently by the Soviet army!
At the beginning of the war, the Pioneer Rail Cannon bombed violently. The air bases south of the Ural Mountains that could take off and land by strategic long-range bombers were destroyed, but the main strike force of the Pioneer Rail Cannon was used to destroy the Siberian Railway. It was impossible to destroy all air bases that could take off and land by bombers. The Tu-16 bombers, which had relatively low requirements for the runway, survived and became the Soviet fist for the ground bombing. More than 40 Tu-16s launched a carpet bombing on Luan County, first hitting the ball.
The air defense forces of the Chinese army were fired, and then used gliding air-fuel bombs to destroy the air defense positions. Then they threw 500 kilograms of incendiary bombs at the Luan County Industrial Zone, turning the entire Luan County into a sea of fire. The entire bombing process was linked together, showing excellent ground-to-ground bombing capabilities and tacit understanding of the team. The Luan County defenders were red-eyed, and controlled air defense missiles and anti-aircraft guns to fire violently at the sky with the roaring aviation bombs, shooting down seven Tu-16 one after another. However, as a ton of aviation
After the air bombs hit the famous Kailuan coal mine area, these tenacious air defense forces had to retreat: the Soviet army also used napalm bombs, and the sky fire fell from the sky, ignited the coal stored in the open air, ignited the mine, and ignited every mine. The entire Kailuan coal mine instantly turned into a sea of fire. Explosive shock waves and strong winds blew the burning coal all over the sky, burning wherever it landed, and there was no way to extinguish it. Soon, Kailuan became the mythical and legendary Flame Mountain, and everything was swallowed mercilessly by the flames.
The sky-swelling fire and the suffocating thick smoke mixed into smoke columns and rushed up thousands of meters high. The temperature in the center of the flame was enough to burn the tank into iron juice. The thick smoke wrapped in the column of fire was torn apart by the explosion from time to time. The explosions one after another made the sky turn into a sickly bright red. The terrifying flames can be clearly seen in the city of Tangshan. The scorching flames, Mars flying in the wind, and the rapid moving fire cut off the Beijing-Shanxi Railway, and also told the Tangshan military and civilians that the Soviet army was not far from them.
This kind of fire is almost impossible to extinguish. Once it is ignited, it will never be extinguished unless everything that can be burned is burned. The sky-sky fire, the rolling smoke, and the suffocating poisonous gas have turned Luan County, which has just walked out of the shadow of the earthquake, into purgatory. At the same time, it also added a large spoon of oil to the republic's turbulent anger, making the anger even more violent and uncontrollable.
