Chapter 214 The Siege of Kyiv (7)
The crazy legion started to rain again.
The city of Kiev was crowded with people, and every street was filled with traffic. Soldiers from more than a dozen countries were crowded in this city, running around with panic expressions, trying to find their commanders or comrades. A large number of military vehicles kept honking their horns. The soldiers on the car spoke the most unpleasant language to let the soldiers blocked in front roll away, shouting, horns, and cursing sounds resounded through every corner of the city. Whenever the shouts of engines came from the sky.
When roaring, or when air defense missiles rushed into the sky, it would always cause a large area of panic in the city. Countless soldiers screamed in English, French, Russian, Polish, Italian, Spanish and other languages: "Airplane! The Soviet planes are here! We don't have planes!" The bright light and faint roar of explosions in the sky were like a big rock, pressing heavily on everyone's heart, which made them breathless. They were almost frightened.
Lieutenant General Halsey stood in a raincoat on the Central Street of Kiev, staring blankly at his army. He saw that most of his soldiers were soaked in the dust and covered in mud and water. The crowded cars were full of people except for the wheels, and even the roof was full of people. More soldiers could only walk and block the Central Street. There was no trace of heroism on their faces that were indispensable as soldiers. They looked tired and numb, and they were even more deeply afraid and despair for the future. They were like a group of puppets pulled by people with threads, moving mechanically. Even if the car was clattering behind them, they did not react. They didn't even know where they were going.
How could this happen? How could hundreds of thousands of troops collapse?
Of course, the lieutenant general knew that even the most tenacious army had its limits. The NATO coalition fought with the Soviet Union for several months in adversity, killing flesh and blood. Especially from October to November, the tragic level of the war exceeded that of World War II. On average, tens of thousands of casualties were killed or killed every day. The train transported batches of soldiers to the battlefield and transported the bodies back in truckloads. This scene has become a nightmare for the whole of Europe. The Soviet Union was not less casualties than them, but the Soviet Red Army, who survived the Soviet-German War, survived the Soviet-German War, held on, but the NATO army could not stand it! In Western Ukraine, the NATO army could not see any hope. The Soviet offensive was higher and higher than that, and they could get less and less supplies, and they had received regular training.
There are fewer and fewer trustworthy lieutenants. They can stand alone and always lead them out of adversity at the critical moment. The superiors cannot give them any promises, but they just want them to persevere, persevere, and persist! They have gritted their teeth and fought, but what have they waited for? What they waited for was the more fierce offensive of the Soviet army, and the biting cold wind in Western Ukraine. Victory is nowhere to be long. The Lieutenant General knew that in this state, even an iron-torn army would collapse sooner or later, but he never dreamed that this day would come so quickly. An unprecedented electronic warfare shook the morale of the army. Coupled with the Soviet army's overwhelming offensive, hundreds of thousands of troops collapsed like this, all collapsed!
"Ah———" A scream came out, and it was drowned in the blink of an eye. The Lieutenant General looked away and saw a soldier lying on the ground, covering his thighs and twitching. A truck just now rolled over his leg. No one stopped to help him. Everyone walked by indifferently. No one knew if there was still tomorrow, and where was the mood to care about other people's lives or death? This scene hurt the lieutenant general's heart. He gasped and said to the guards: "Go and dispatch the military police to maintain order immediately! If you continue like this, you don't have to wait until the Soviets call us, and we will collapse first!"
The guard said: "The gendarmerie is maintaining order, but their number is too small to take care of it!"
The Lieutenant General roared: "Then we will transfer another company to come! If one company doesn't work, then one battalion will transfer one battalion. If one battalion doesn't work, then two battalions will be transferred. In short, the order in the city must be maintained well and the chaos cannot continue to spread!"
Facing the angry lieutenant general, the guards fought a cold war and did not dare to say anything else, so they hurried to find the military police.
Dadadadadada———
The shrill gunshot suddenly sounded, causing a burst of exclamations. Everyone instinctively escaped. An officer stood on a high platform on the side of the road, roaring in German: "Look at you, look at what you are now. Are you worthy of claiming to be the most powerful army in the world? The Soviets defeated all of you in one offensive, and even the strategic defense line that was built with countless manpower and material resources. Hundreds of thousands of troops were driven away by others like ducks.
, drove into Kiev! Do you think it would be safe to hide in Kiev? No, you were wrong! The Soviet army would not attack Kiev, they would siege Kiev and trap us in the city! There is no food, no fuel, no clothes to keep warm, and there is only one way to die! Anyway, they are all dead, so why don’t you choose to die in a vigorous battle? Europeans have been cowards in front of the Soviets for nearly half a century. How long are you still cowardly? "
The whole audience was silent, and everyone lowered their heads and said nothing. Of course, they knew that there was not much supplies in the city of Kiev, and the supplies sent from the rear were not enough to consume the front line. It was a dream to rely on how much reserves they had. However, except for Kiev, they could never find a place for them to take a breath. Death in a vigorous battle? Death was never an easy thing. As long as they were not forced into a desperate situation, who would like to die like this?
The officer glanced coldly and saw all his dejected faces. He knew that these guys could not count on them, and his voice became louder: "Are there any German soldiers here? All the German soldiers stood up for me, picked up their guns, and followed me to Brovare! Our army was fighting desperately with the Soviet army, and that was where we should go!"
Many German soldiers stood out from the silent crowd, followed the officer and left the crowd, walked in the opposite direction, and stepped onto the battlefield without hesitation. Wherever they walked, no matter how crowded they were, everyone automatically made way for them to go a long way. Some soldiers from other countries also gritted their teeth and joined their team, and this small army grew stronger like a thunderball.
Lieutenant General Halsey turned around and said to the staff around him: "Contact the Fourth German Army immediately. I authorize them to command all troops in the direction of Brovare, including the United States, to withstand the Soviet offensive in the direction of Brovare!"
The staff officer said: "The communication system is blocked..."
The Lieutenant General roared: "Then drive over and convey my order to the German Fourth Army without changing it!"
The staff officer was trembling with roar and didn't dare to say anything else, so he hurried to find a car.
On the front line of Brovare, the armored cluster of the Fifth Soviet Army was constantly appearing on the horizon illuminated by the explosion of flames, t-62, t-72, t-80... almost endless. The NATO Air Force can no longer pose a threat to the Soviet ground forces. The Red Empire cavalry, which once made the whole of Europe tremble for decades, unscrupulously showed its power. Hundreds of artillery guns were fired wildly, and Xu Jin's barrage was like the thunder thrown by God, rumbling between heaven and earth. The German army touched by the barrage, whether it was soldiers or tanks, returned to the part state in an instant!
The German artillery number was far inferior to that of the Soviet army, but it was extremely calm and constantly fired laser-guided artillery shells to destroy Soviet tanks. The bad weather greatly reduced the accuracy of laser-guided artillery shells, but tanks were still hit by artillery shells, and the turret was thirty or forty meters high and 155 mm caliber. Once hit, there was no possibility of tanks surviving. The Soviet artillery was not willing to be outdone. While suppressing the German artillery fire with overwhelming artillery fire, it also used BM-30 tornado rocket launchers and 203 mm self-propelled artillery to carry out a devastating blow to the German armored forces assembly area. A bm-30 volley would create a hundreds of thousands of square meters, which was completely destroyed.
The square made of firelights, and the defense ability of the Leopard 2 main battle tank is only a fireball in front of this carpet bombing. The 203mm heavy artillery is even more terrifying and there is no need to hit directly. Even if the shells fall more than ten meters away, it will overturn the tanks weighing dozens of tons! The armored troops of the German Fourth Army retreated in an orderly manner, attracting Soviet tanks to come, and greet them with laser-guided shells, destroying several more Soviet tanks as much as possible before the armor collision. The Soviet army rushed forward without blinking, which was the rhythm of your own death if you dare to bury me, and even if the tank wreckage was already covered along the way, it did not stop a moment!
In the end, the German Fourth Army could no longer hold back. One hundred and fifty Leopard 2a4s lined up in two rows and rushed out under the cover of unprecedented fierce artillery fire. The 120mm high-pressure smoothbore cannon entered the Soviet tank covered with shrapnel scratches and spewed violent flames and air waves. The tail wing stably unshelled armor-piercing bullets came out at lightning! Almost in the same second, the Soviet At-6 gun-fired anti-tank missile also made a thrilling sound, and the "songbird" opened its teeth and claws towards the leopard.
2a4 rushed over! The armor-piercing projectile fired at the initial speed of several times the speed of sound will not leave much reaction time for the armored soldiers. Almost in the next second, the shell of the armor-piercing projectile exploded, and the slender and sharp core turned into a black light and flew towards the tank! The reaction armor exploded itself, forming a dense ball of debris to cut the core, but the armor-piercing projectile did not care, and penetrated the ball of debris mercilessly, shattering the breastplate of the Soviet tank with lightning speed!
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom ———
At the first strait of the Soviet tank formation, dazzling flames rush to explode. As the body of the hit tank was shocked, the turrets soared into the air and brought out fire pillars, which was spectacular. For the sake of cost saving, the Soviet tanks have many disadvantages in design. The biggest disadvantage is that they are prone to death after being hit. Now this shortcoming is fully exposed. Under the thunder strike, more than 20 Soviet tanks and armored vehicles were lifted off their turrets. The body of the vehicle that lost the turret sank in place like a dead turret, burning wildly.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom ———
The German army was not able to get better either. The anti-tank missile fired by the "Songbird" guns turned into a deadly fire meteor and flew down, accurately hitting the door of the Leopard 2a4 - the weakest top armor, and the fragments flew around. The hit Leopard 2a4 Tianling Cover was blown out with a big hole. Many German armored soldiers only saw a red fireball that was more dazzling than the sun and exploded above their heads, and were burned into coke by the high temperature and metal jets produced by the explosion. There were gaps of large and small in the first row on both sides, but the tanks in the second row were immediately filled, and in a blink of an eye, the gap was filled. The two copper walls quickly approached, 120
Under the command of the command tank, the mm-caliber high-pressure smoothbore gun and the 125mm high-pressure smoothbore gun are pointed at the opponent in a coordinated and neat manner, with a cold, sonorous and powerful beauty, a beauty that makes people sweat stand up but is boiling. When the blazing flames burst out from the neat muzzle like electric current, you will feel that the whole body is burning! Coupled with the fire flowing from the sky and the fiery red trajectory drawn by the rocket artillery shells, the rising columns of fire in the distance, and the twisted faces of the steel giant beasts and soldiers who appear in the explosion fire, it seems that the whole of Brovare is burning!
With its strong qualities and tenacious will, the German army fought hard to distinguish the Soviet army. The Soviet army made a slow progress in the direction of Brovare, but the losses were extremely heavy. On this flesh-and-blood battlefield, the German army once again proved its excellence. Their performance was a shot of a strong aid for the defeated NATO coalition. At least the Fourth Army was holding on, the Soviet army could not take Brovare and kick open the door to Kiev for a while. Unfortunately, the troops of other countries were not as good as the German army. The German army's bloody battle failed to arouse their fighting spirit. When the German army and the Soviet army were killed, the coalition was still only concerned about fleeing to Kiev. The Soviet army followed behind and chased the NATO coalition apart.
When they rushed towards Kiev, they didn't seem to worry at all that Kiev had too many troops, which would bring huge difficulties to their attacks. Seventy-two hours after the Soviet army launched a new round of offensives, the NATO coalition forces poured into Kiev City more than 600,000, and the entire city was almost squeezed into canned sardines. Apart from continuing to maintain a strong offensive in the direction of Brovare and putting strong pressure on the coalition forces, the other troops did not launch a attack, but left a part of the troops to surround Kiev City. The main force turned around and swept the remaining forces of the coalition forces and met with the airborne troops. On the fourth day of the decisive battle, the Soviet army had built a huge encirclement with Kiev as the center, besieging more than 700,000 coalition forces in the Kiev area in one fell swoop.
The NATO coalition forces are in trouble.
Fortunately, when the Soviet army's iron clamps were connected, NATO's information warfare troops finally cleared a channel in the crowded computer viruses, and the c3i system barely began to operate. The ecstatic Lieutenant General Halsey ordered the NATO coalition in Poland to open up the major artery of the Kiev-Lublin railway at any cost, and ordered the coalition forces to strictly guard the enemy's defense. Without his orders, they would not take a step back without authorization. In his opinion, the Soviet army's encirclement was extraordinary, but there were many loopholes. As long as the NATO coalition in Poland came to aid with all its strength, it would not be difficult to fight a bloody road and turn defeat into victory. They would not dare to expect to win. At least half of these hundreds of thousands of main forces could be regained back! Ukraine could not defend itself. Only by actively withdrawing Poland and even Central Europe and extending the supply line of the Soviet army, can they withstand the Soviet army's crazy attack!
When the NATO leaders learned that the main force of the coalition was surrounded, they were shocked. If these hundreds of thousands of elite troops were annihilated by the Soviet army, they would have no other choice except to throw nuclear bombs or kneel down to the Soviet Union to sing conquest! The French President whined: "My God, my God! More than half of the elite divisions of the French Army are there! Damn Ogalkov, they want to break the backbone of the French Army in one battle!"
The British Prime Minister yelled: "What's the point of being surrounded by more than half of your elite divisions? Six of our nine standing divisions are surrounded!"
President Ronald sternly said: "What's the use of screaming like this? Find a way! Don't we still have many troops in Poland? Let these troops be dispatched to reinforce Kiev and to withdraw the surrounded troops!"
This was all I could do. For a moment, the stern-worded telegram flew towards Poland like snowflakes, and the second-line NATO army in Eastern Europe followed and rushed towards Kiev along the railway line.
The turbulent NATO leaders did not realize that China and the Soviet Union had a bigger trump card, and they were driving more NATO troops to the chopping board carefully prepared by Lyuppin and Ogarkov.
