Chapter 191 Thunder (Part 2)

"Commander, Yang Shiying and the others have deciphered a telegram from the Soviet army. Moscow agreed to Zhukov's retreat to the west." Zhang Zhizhong strode into the war room, and Liu Mingzhao stood up in a flash, rushed to the map to look at it, and then

He raised his hand and looked at his watch and said, "It's been an hour since the general offensive was launched. Have you not contacted Yang Zui yet? Is there any accident?"

"Judging from the time, they should have started parachuting half an hour ago. It will take time to gather the troops, so they probably haven't had time yet." Zhang Zhi was also very unsure at the center. He really didn't expect Moscow to be so decisive, so he launched the attack.

After a while, he agreed with Zhukov to withdraw to the west. He was anxious, and his tone also showed anxiety: "The key now is where the Soviet mechanized army is, and whether the three paratrooper divisions can assemble quickly.

And building blocking positions and finding a suitable location to welcome the second wave of airborne mountain divisions are all factors that determine success or failure."

"Order the Telecommunications Department to step up the continuous communication with Yang Zui, and at the same time nail Zhukov's radio signal to me. We must grasp the information on the mechanized army in Zhukov's hands as soon as possible." Liu Mingzhao could only do this. To say that this change was too sudden.

.

"Should Bai Chongxi push westward and chase the Soviet army after the defense line breaks through?" Zhang Zhizhong made a suggestion. Liu Mingzhao shook his head and said: "Don't be anxious for the time being. The key is when the west line of defense can be broken through. If it can

By breaking through the defense line in time, the Ninth Mechanized Army can provide timely reinforcements. Our main purpose is to encircle and annihilate the Soviet army's effective forces as much as possible, so the battle in the west is the most critical. The general offensive has begun. There are hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops.

, you can’t just withdraw if you want to.”

Yang Zui was lucky. There was a large grassland under the glider. The people in the intelligence department were not hard-working people, so the coordinates were chosen very well. Previously, the glider passed by a small town, which probably only had a few hundred households.

Yang Zui has already decided on the location of the headquarters.

Violent trembling began, and he held his head tightly. If it hadn't been for the safety belt, he didn't know where he would have rolled. The glider finally stabilized. When Yang Zui got off the plane, he saw white umbrella flowers all over the sky.

In front of him was a vast expanse of grassland, not even a hill. Yang Zui's head began to hurt again. Where the hell was he building a position?

Officers were shouting everywhere: "The Third Battalion of the First Regiment of the First Parachute Division is gathering here..." Hearing the jumbled shouts gave him a headache, and there were gunshots in the distance. Yang Zui's mind exploded.

Without saying a word, he stood on a box, raised his gun to the sky, and bang! Then he roared with a broken gong: "Listen to me, I am your commander-in-chief Yang Zui, everyone listens, no matter what

Which unit they belong to? Immediately assemble them into companies as units nearby. The person with the highest military rank will be the officer. After the assembly is completed, the officers will report to me."

When the troops were regrouping, the walkie-talkie liaison officer brought good news and bad news. The good news was that he had contacted Chief of Staff Qin Dechun. The bad news was that Qin Dechun landed at the railway edge about thirty kilometers away.

, a small Soviet unit also intercepted and fired when it landed, and the battle was still ongoing.

I haven't contacted the headquarters of other paratrooper divisions, and I don't know what went wrong. The use of this paratrooper is really complicated. Don't expect a sound organization even when it comes to a specific landing location. Just gather them one by one.

, this kind of thing has happened before during exercises, and there are emergency measures. It just depends on who has the most authority in the local area.

Half an hour later, Yang Zui was surrounded by more than fifty officers. The highest-ranking officer was Long Haitao, the commander of the First Paratrooper Division and Regiment. The assembled troops totaled sixteen infantry companies, and the soldiers came from a variety of sources. The paratroopers

There are members of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions, mainly from the 1st Parachute Division and 1 Regiment. The Parachute Division adopts a 3-3 system, which means that the strength here is two companies short of two regiments.

Yang Zui invited everyone to sit around for a meeting and said arbitrarily: "First, I announced the formation of a temporary headquarters, with me as the commander-in-chief and Long Haitao as the deputy commander-in-chief. Second, immediately dispatch a company, with squads as units,

Move forward to conduct reconnaissance around the company, hand over all off-road vehicles to this company, and contact all troops as much as possible. Third, pull out four vehicles, survey the terrain back and forth along the railway line, and find a place suitable for building a blocking position as soon as possible.

Fourth, the rest of the troops will build defensive positions on the spot, just in case. Let’s do this for now, Long Haitao will be responsible for the specific execution, and the meeting will be adjourned.”

As one of the most elite units in the National Defense Forces, the quality of the skirmishers is quite good. After the order was issued, the officers went back and the order was quickly implemented. Yang Zui was still busy asking people to count the heavy equipment, and then

After waiting for half an hour, some data slowly came up. We contacted nearby and contacted about a battalion of the 3rd Parachute Division and about a regiment of the 2nd Parachute Division. All the heavy weapons were 25 57-caliber anti-tank guns and 11

75 field artillery and rocket launchers, basically one for each squad. Other equipment such as off-road vehicles, a total of 15 of them landed safely.

Half an hour later, a great piece of good news came. The 3rd Paratrooper Division was contacted, just 20 kilometers to the east. The terrain there was good, and there were two hills next to the railway. From the map

It is about 320 kilometers away from Bukhara. And the Third Parachute Division has gathered about a regiment of troops. The most important thing is that they found the combined alloy plates. During the assembly, the white reflective alloy plates,

It is easily spotted by airplanes in the sun, making it easy for the domestic Y-5 light transport aircraft with a load capacity of only one and a half tons to land.

"Commander-in-Chief, please contact the commander-in-chief." Long Haitao ran over with the telegram. Yang Zui quickly read the telegram, and his face turned pale after reading it. The content of the telegram was really not good news. The Soviet army was going to

He withdrew to the west. He took a look at the map and said, "Return the call. Our unit is about 320 to 50 kilometers away from Bukhara. Currently, we have contacted more than three regiments of troops, and the remaining troops are still in contact.

How to select blocking positions is still being discovered. The biggest threat to the Soviet army's westward retreat is the mechanized troops. The general front is to send fighter planes to conduct reconnaissance along the railway line. Once discovered, air strikes will be carried out. In addition, combined alloy plates that can land light transport aircraft

We have found the second and third mountain divisions and can take off as soon as possible. This power..."

It is more than 300 kilometers, which means that the main force of the Soviet army will have to walk for three days at the fastest. There will not be too many Soviet troops stationed along the railway. After the indiscriminate bombing of the air force, the main railways and highways of the Soviet army

Daodu is in a very bad situation. Calculated this way, even if the Soviet mechanized troops come to attack, there will be at least 48 hours of preparation time.

Thinking of the main force, Yang Zui added: "More forward points, the Mountain Division will bring 57 more infantry anti-tank guns."

The reconnaissance troops sent out quickly reported via walkie-talkie. They found some troops one after another, and also discovered the railway from Bukhara to Urgench. They also found some local herders. After inquiring, they learned that there is a small town called Tutu nearby.

Plakara is less than 200 kilometers away from Urgench.

There must be Soviet troops stationed in Urgench. There is no way of knowing how many there are. Yang Zui's scalp was numb. The escort fighter jets had destroyed the railway and Urgench before. I don't know what the effect was. In short, we must consider it first.

How to kill the threats coming from behind? This place is really scary.

Many years later, when military history recalled this large-scale parachute operation, they used this paragraph to explain: This was a large-scale parachute operation intended to capture Urgench and cut off the Soviet army's westward retreat. Unfortunately, it was a large-scale parachute operation.

Our luck was a bit bad. There was a wind of level 5 to level 6 during the parachute landing. The three paratrooper divisions were blown to pieces and could not form a complete organization at all. Under such a premise, it was time to test the commander's ability.

.

The three division headquarters were contacted one after another, but bad news came one after another. The Second Parachute Division was blown away by the strong wind. The division commander and chief of staff each gathered about a battalion of troops, and their location is not yet clear.

The Chief of Staff of the Third Parachute Division also got in touch, and they figured out the specific location. Bezingen is a small town about a hundred kilometers away. He gathered about a regiment of troops and has now occupied the town. Bezingen is there.

There is a small station next to the railway. With such an account, only five regiments of troops have been contacted. In other words, there are still four regiments whose troops are unknown?

Yang Zui decisively ordered the troops to march in the direction of Bezingen, and first return to the headquarters of the 3rd Paratrooper Division. The telegram required Bezingen to hold on for 48 hours, waiting for the return of the main force. At the same time, he called the General Forward Command and requested that aircraft be sent to Bezingen without interruption.

Zingen, air reinforcements for Bezingen's defense. In other words, the Mustang fighter has a range of nearly 4,000 kilometers so that it can fly like this. Other types of aircraft simply wouldn't have enough fuel to fly back, let alone perform combat missions.

After crossing Bukhara, ten Mustang fighter jets cruised back and forth along railways and highways. Captain Bao Zhiguo divided a brigade into five groups to conduct reconnaissance and cruise in different airspaces. A voice kept coming from the headset: "Kitty Eagle calling

The Eagle's Nest, found a railway bridge, the location..." "The sparrow called the Eagle's Nest, found a highway bridge,..."

Bao Zhiguo was very dissatisfied with this mission. How could reconnaissance be compared with aerial combat? Unfortunately, Soviet aircraft were rarely found nearby. The reason was simple. The Soviet aircraft had lost too many and were now mainly concentrated in the Siberian battlefield.

We hope to launch a counterattack after winter comes. The number of Soviet fighter planes in Central Asia is only more than 600. After the war started, most of them were shot down, and few of them dared to fly out to find trouble.

Just when Bao Zhiguo was a little bored, a sharp cry suddenly came from the earphones: "The little eagle called the eagle and found a large Soviet army marching on the road. Oh my God, there are tens of thousands of people."
