Chapter 2000: Up and down the mountain (with comments)

Huge rock domes and handsome peaks, dim gorges or deep canyons that make people look dizzy, and small areas but clear boundaries are often grassy or trees-bound valleys and plains. This is the important geographical feature of the Zagros Mountain area in northwest Persia. Baidu Search Quickly enter this site without pop-up advertisements

Most of the borders between Persia and the Soviet Union are bounded by the Aras River. To the south is the Kara River, an important tributary of the Aras River. The Kara River converges with the Ahar River in the northern part of the Salang Mountains. The main trunk turns eastward and reaches Ardabil, forming a unique "Kong" shape with two horizontal and one vertical. That vertical is the main road connecting the north and south, and it is also the top priority of the Anjia Army's defense.

Before the war, the Anjia army quietly abandoned the plain border cities on the south bank of the border river, such as Falsaad, Salband, Aslanduz, and other plain border cities on the south bank of the border river, retreated to the Zagros Mountain, and the Anjia army's border defense system. Relying on the steep mountains, the Mugan steppe area where the German army gathered, firmly blocked several inter-valley roads leading to the Persian hinterland, especially the Kara Valley area.

The German army's full-line attack started yesterday evening. Due to the large minefield along the way, the German vanguard troops suffered heavy losses. After urgently dispatching engineers to clear mines, the main force had to move forward slowly until two o'clock in the morning before pushing the front line to the Zagros Pass.

To open the door to the Persian hinterland, you must take down the high ground on both wings of the Kara Valley. At three o'clock in the morning, the German army took a short rest and launched a large-scale shelling. The continuous shelling lasted for nearly two hours before gradually extending to the rear.

The German army's dense shelling looked amazing. Fireworks were everywhere in the mountains, and there were broken walls and rocks everywhere. However, in fact, the shelling had no focus and did not damage the Anjia Army's defense line.

As the sound of German artillery gradually became sparse, the defensive officers and soldiers of the Anjia Army were more vigilant and built solid barriers made of reinforced concrete on both sides of the mountain canyon and behind the main position. Cannons of various calibers and light and heavy machine guns of various calibers extended from the dark shooting mouth, aiming at the foot of the mountain.

During the artillery process, the German army began to sweat heavily, picked up engineer shovels to repair fortifications. After the artillery fire extended, the German army sent a unit to drive towards the two wing positions under the cover of hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles! Due to the tentative attack, the German army pulled the scattered line very wide, and less than two regiments of troops almost covered the entire front.

The German tanks stopped moving forward five or six hundred meters away from the foot of the mountain. The engineers began to pile up gentle slopes with sand and stones and sleepers to increase the shooting angle of the tanks, while the armored fighting vehicles still covered the infantry's movement. A solemn atmosphere came to the entire land in front of the mountain.

The German artillery fire gradually stopped. When their infantry began to climb upwards, their positions in front were still quiet. Just as the German army began to speculate whether the Anjia army chose to give up like in plains, the fortress on the ridge behind began to spit out flames violently. The condescending rain of bullets knocked the Germans to the ground one by one. The German army left behind three or four hundred corpses and retreated in a mess.

Except for the fortress, the rest of the mountain is still extremely quiet.

During this round of feint attack, the German army discovered a large area of ​​firepower points, and artillery fire began to focus on the Anjia Army positions on the mountain. Then the German mountain artillery troops even used single artillery and heavy machine guns to carry out direct aiming in close proximity, trying to destroy the exposed firepower points of the Anjia Army.

However, almost all of these fortresses were built according to the highest standards. The steel and cement walls in front and top were nearly one meter thick. The Germans could not directly fire from the bottom up, so naturally there was no effect. When the shells exploded one by one, they only made shallow pits on the exterior wall.

The shelling stopped after half an hour. The smoke and dust generated by the explosion enveloped the ridges. The Germans thought that they had successfully destroyed the defense line of the Anjia Army and sent troops to attack the main position again. Under the cover of the darkest night before dawn, the densely packed German troops climbed up like locusts. Due to the steep mountain, their attacking troops were in a very unfavorable upward attack position.

It was not until this time that the Anjia Army's defense line began to move. As the sharp sound sounded, a machine gun was dragged from the bunker to the excavated shooting bunker, and the bullet links of the yellow heavy machine gun emitted a flash of cold light.

At the forefront of the German surveillance force, about four or five hundred fanatical SS officers and soldiers held submachine guns and shouted slogans to the front. When they rushed to the steep slope two or three hundred meters ahead of the position, a series of red flares rose into the sky, illuminating the earth bloodily.

Before the German army was charging could react, the overwhelming rain of bullets had already hit the face from top to bottom.

Blood splashed and limbs flew across. The German soldiers who were shot continued to fall on the hillside. The bodies that rolled down from time to time caused a turmoil. However, the German SS officers and soldiers who rushed in front still maintained firm steps, completely ignored life, and lined up in scattered troops to face the barrage shot by the Anjia army officers and soldiers.

Driven by the SS demonstration before the sudden outbreak, although the German soldiers fell in large numbers under the bullets of the Anjia Army officers and soldiers, they still successfully entered a depression fifty meters away from the Anjia Army's front line.

At this 50-meter death distance, the German army, which was like a tide, launched two assaults, but all ended in failure. Then the German army began to use the terrain and entwined with the Anjia Army officers and soldiers who were guarding the dangerous situation. Many German soldiers actually piled up their companions' bodies as bunkers and chest walls. The German mortars, grenade guns and flamethrowers, and the grenades thrown by the Anjia Army officers and soldiers, as well as the ammunition fired by the bazooka and other heavy weapons intersected in the air. The sound of explosions, screams and the whistling sound of bullet rain were intertwined, which was shocking.

Seeing the war was stalemate, the commander of the German front line immediately added a new force to the front line again. From the starting position of the German army to the 50 meters in front of the Anjia army's position, the mountains and fields were filled with the shouts of killing from the German army to boost morale. Under the flares that kept rising up, the rolling crowd made people feel numb.

Seeing the German offensive becoming more and more fierce, the crowds became more and more dense. Fortresses and bunkers built everywhere in the mountains suddenly opened fire. A dense rain of bullets composed of anti-aircraft cannons, cannons, howitzers and Gaoping dual-purpose machine guns, Maxim heavy machine guns, and general machine guns quickly surrounded the Germans in a rain of meteor fire.

German tanks shooting up the mountain at a thirty-degree slope are very threatening. Due to the high shooting accuracy, almost every gun will explode into flesh and blood on the front line.

The Anjia Army anti-tank artillery in the fortress at a high altitude was specifically aimed at the tanks. Under the guidance of the flares, the gunners calibrated the shooting orders, aimed at the German tanks that were firing, and fought back quickly. A violent roar sounded on the entire majestic mountain ridge, and the muzzle storm blew the withered yellow grass in front of the fortresses, and fell down collectively, and the armor-piercing bullets flew towards the German tanks.

"First hit!"

The main gunner of the 75mm anti-aircraft gun position on the upper floor of the No. 4 bunker was Sergeant Zhang Mingyuan from Bengbu, Anhui. He pulled down the running bolt, but his eyes did not leave the straight scope. When he returned to the high and low plane with his right hand, he couldn't help but shout, with a joyful smile on his face - the German tank he was aiming at just now came out of smoke, which was completely reimbursed!

The loader Tan Chong also smiled at Sgt. However, even though he was happy, he was not slow at all. After a "clang", he reported loudly: "Reloading, blunt-headed armor-piercing bullet!"

A volley of dozens of fortresses on a front that lasted more than ten kilometers, more than 50 German No. 4 tanks and nearly 100 armored vehicles were reimbursed. The German army was in chaos, and the surviving tanks quickly started, preparing to retreat from the just-built gentle slope and retreat with the armored vehicles.

"It's not that easy to run!"

Without wasting a second of time, Zhang Mingyuan cooperated with both hands and aimed at a German tank in just a moment. With a "boom", he shouted again: "Two shots hit!"

Seeing that the situation had unexpected changes, the German artillery fire rang again, and dense shells roared towards the mountain fortress of Anjia Army. The soil and smoke splashed everywhere. The young men had no time to pay attention to it, and all their attention was focused on the target!

It was a little dawn, and the battle against bombardment continued. There were explosions and black smoke all around. The violent sound of shell explosions made the soldiers' ears "buzz" and splashed mud flew into the cannon position through the shooting port. The faces of the officers and soldiers who could not avoid it were ached faintly.

"Don't worry about them, the Germans are not in a good position and cannot form direct barrage. It poses little threat to us. Keep coming and beat the Germans in one breath!"

Amid the deafening explosion outside, Zhang Mingyuan almost roared and greeted, then continued to aim at the target, and soon locked the third tank.

The No. 4 tank had just retreated from the gentle slope. Before he could turn, the shells had already flew straight out of the muzzle and hit the tank's turret at a high speed. The 75mm anti-aircraft gun is worthy of being a tank killer. The armor-piercing shell directly penetrated the forty-mm armor at a ten-degree angle on the front of the turret. An explosion occurred in the ammunition depot. After a muffled "bang", the flames shot out from the inside of the exploded tank and quickly turned into a fire coffin. None of the five crew members in the tank could escape.

The German army was blocked from the frontal attack and had to set their sights on the two wings higher than the Kara Valley, trying to break the deadlock by relying on encirclement.

Unfortunately, the artillery fire on the high ground on both wings was equally fierce. The German army suffered heavy casualties due to the rapid attack on fire. The troops were in great chaos. The German soldiers retreating down the mountain collided with the people attacking upwards. In the chaos, the German front-line commander saw that there was no hope of breaking through, so he could only order the troops to temporarily retreat and return to the starting position.

Half an hour passed, it was already six in the morning in the Bay time. The visibility in West Asia in November was not high, and the sky was still dark.

After adjustment, the German army began to cover artillery fire again, and carried out high-intensive crackdowns against weak spots on the Anjia Army's defense line during the attack, preparing to make a breakthrough from one point first.

At this time, our officers and soldiers on the frontier positions that received the notice in advance had retreated into the tunnel. The artillery positions set up by the Anjia Army on the reverse slope of the mountain top were finally unbearable and there was no need to endure them anymore. Heavy artillery shells of various calibers flew towards the German artillery positions like splashing water.

Almost in an instant, looking out from the Anjia Army Artillery Observatory on the top of the mountain, I saw a yellow light flashing in the haze behind the German front.

Lightning flashed into the north sky suddenly brightened, and then the sound of muffled thunder connected, and finally the earth shook violently!

Amid the shrill whistle, hundreds of large and small artillery shells exploded on the German artillery positions almost at the same time.

The orange-yellow explosion spots that erupted in the dawn of the morning were shiny and connected in a shiny piece. The shells were densely connected, and sometimes there were 203 mm caliber fortress shells flying over, dragging the roar of trains in the air and landing on the ground. Even on the mountain four or five kilometers away from the enemy's position, you can feel the violent shaking of the mountain.

The dense explosion of shells gathered into a loud noise, echoing on the ground with a "rumbling" and any other sound was suppressed!

The German army, who were preparing to launch a charge in the infantry artillery together, were almost stunned when they saw such intense artillery fire. They hid in the temporary positions that were urgently built, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, endured the huge vibration and the loud bang of shells that pierced into people's hearts. Every German soldier shook violently with the vibration of the explosion, as if his heart and lungs were about to be shaken out. The smoke filled their respiratory tracts and lungs, making people breathless.

The German artillery fought back frantically, and one artillery position was silent. The artillery in the rest immediately filled up. A bunch of artillery shells exploded on the hillsides of the high ground on both sides of the river valley, but it could not pose a direct threat to the Anjia Army's ingenious artillery position.

The artillery of the Anjia Army launched artillery as fast as possible, and the barrels were almost red. The mountains and down the mountains became a world of shrapnel flying, and the air was filled with explosions and flashes, and the sky in the north and south were almost red.

However, the disadvantage of the terrain cannot be compensated by courage. The German artillery positions were silent one after another. Countless howitzers of all sizes and caliber flying from the opposite mountain exploded terrible pits on the German artillery positions. With the flash of artillery fire and the dawn light, the trembling German soldiers hiding on the frontier positions could clearly see the wreckage of one cannon being blown into the sky by the explosion of the air waves. Even some trenches not far from the artillery positions flew into the dead from time to time into the broken limbs and broken arms. The thin blood mist almost enveloped the German positions like rain.

The shells fired by the Anjia Army's artillery group, like rolling cumulonimbus clouds, spreading the dead bomb rain everywhere. Occasionally, an overweight shell fell down in the middle. I saw the ground like a volcano erupting, and the soil was blown up to a high for half a day, and the German troops on a large area of ​​positions disappeared.

After more than an hour of shelling, the barrage of the shells gradually became visible, but at this time the German artillery was almost completely silent, and the frontiers and subsequent positions of the German army were almost plowed by the shells.

After this artillery battle, not only were all the artillery soldiers that were covering the attacks in the German army, but the infantry also suffered heavy losses due to the sloppy fortifications. Without the follow-up troops keeping up, the northern front actually became a strange stalemate.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ps: Before I knew it, "Iron Bone" has been two thousand chapters, and the number of words is almost nine million. Thank you for accompanying the emperor through the three years of ups and downs.

In recent years, the emperor's health has declined severely. During his creation, he caught colds and fevers. After a severe cold in 10 years, he suffered from acute myocarditis due to poor rest. After he was cured, he still did not pay much attention to it. His long-term irregular work and rest had evolved into chronic myocarditis, causing his body to become worse. He was hospitalized for more than a month last year and this year.

Originally, the emperor wanted to end the book earlier and have a good rest. However, when he thought of his friends' expectations, the promise that he never ended when he opened the book, and the nearly 20,000 readers who subscribed to the book, the emperor could not bear to end it hastily, and could only follow the more reasonable deductions and interpret the story naturally.

I know that many people have criticized recently, and even many friends who often rewarded have left the emperor's vision, but the emperor really doesn't want to end in an outline style. After all, many pits dug around An Yi and the people around him have not been filled yet. The Chinese nation in the book has not yet truly stood at the top of the world. To give everyone a beautiful memory, the plot still has to be interpreted step by step until the end of the book.

Thank you again for giving Tiegu’s subscription, rewards and monthly tickets. I hope that friends will come back and let the emperor take a good look at you again.
