Since the beginning of the battle, the strategic bombing brigade of the Defense Forces Air Force, which once attracted the attention of the world, was like stealth, and spent most of its time performing tactical tasks. The reason for this situation is that, on the one hand, Central Asia lacks solid cities like industry and Europe, and secondly, the Soviet Union's industrial bases are all west of Chelyabinsk and the Caucasus. There are no frontier fighter escort bases like Tehran and Karaganda, which often causes serious losses to strategic bombers. As for the end, Yang Qiu also wanted to save Central Asia and not blow up, leaving a breath for Central Asia, and try to make the Central Asian nation feel that the Defense Force is here to rescue rather than destroy.

Although there are very few strategic bombings, it does not mean that Central Asian cities are easy to fight.

Because urban combat is the most troublesome for any army. The battle of Taraz proved that in the face of the disrepaired Tsarist Russian fortress city, the 29th Army and the 31st Army were not fully prepared for firepower, and the siege of the city was rashly agitated because of the smooth and hot mind in the early stage. The death of more than 3,000 soldiers and the price of more than 8,000 injuries made the victory a lot. Although he finally won this strategic city, he was also criticized by the General Staff. Therefore, even if Kizilorda does not have a large number of solid cement steel buildings like European cities, the low and messy shantytowns and narrow streets are enough to give anyone a headache.

Kacharov was not unaware that cities were difficult to fight, but he thought he had the advantage of military strength and firepower, so he tried to invest heavily in the attack brigade in one fell swoop. This was the lack of concept of urban attacks, and he thought that relying solely on troops could crush the opponent. But this cannot be blamed. Not to mention the Soviet army, even many generals in the current national defense army lacked enough attention to the urban attacks.

But Zhuo Fan was different. The National Defense Forces tasted the taste of urban warfare in Reneevel in the last European warfare. For this reason, the National Defense University specially opened a discipline of urban warfare, not to mention Taraz's previous lessons, so he had long planned to use the city to drag Kacharov to the main road. After the battle ended yesterday, he mobilized manpower to drag the destroyed tanks and aircraft wreckage to the main road, buried the seized useless Soviet ammunition on the roadside and houses, and laid camouflage and fire-induced objects. Finally, he also learned from the Spanish Civil War, found empty wine bottles, and brought a large amount of crude oil from the power plant, made simple combusts with gasoline, crude oil, cotton, syrup and a little explosive to distribute it to the soldiers and the Kazakh Volunteers who were voluntarily left behind, turning a small town that could accommodate 200,000 residents was completely organized into a chaotic area similar to later Mogadishu.

"Hurry, here's it." Han Shiwei rushed to the roof with a large 12.7mm anti-equipment sniper rifle. This heavy sniper rifle, which uses 12.7*99 bullets and looks like the later v94, is specially equipped with a few elite troops. As the number one sniper of the Falcon Brigade, urban warfare is simply a paradise for him.

A heavy sniper, an H35 semi-automatic high-precision rifle, an H37 fully automatic rifle and a Kazakh guide with Mosinnagan are all the firepower of the four-man sniper team. After he chose wèizhi and installed the 8x scope that a special sniper could use, two T34 and two BT5s turned out from the distant street with an infantry company. Han Shiwei would not waste bullets to attack tanks, and even if the armor-piercing bullets could penetrate the engine cover of the BT5, he still did not waste ammunition. In fact, many people have misunderstandings that tanks must be fought first in street battles. However, after research and a large number of exercises, the National Defense Forces found that infantry protecting tanks was more troublesome. Only by killing infantry to the maximum extent can the tanks be captured. So he immediately selected a Soviet officer who followed behind to command and shouted the infantry forward.

When the four tanks turned the intersection, he immediately pulled the trigger. While the strong recoil made his shoulders sore, the bullets had accurately cut off the head and neck of the officer 600 meters away. The body was standing straight and rushing for two seconds before falling down. The terrifying heavy sniper pulled the curtain of street fighting. Before the Soviet army could continue to penetrate deeper, the juliè explosion gushed out of the room behind the tank. After more than a dozen 76mm shells and ten barrels of gasoline exploded at the same time,

Only a few tons of stones and bricks were lifted up. A large amount of gasoline was thrown out. The bricks with flames were like meteor fire rain in hell! They fell into the middle of tanks and infantry. A whole company of infantry was shrouded by overwhelming Mars. The defenseless infantry turned into coke in the flames. Even the soldiers who escaped by chance were beaten by bullets shot from all directions before they escaped from the block. In an instant, there were enemies hidden behind each window and building in fǎngfo.

Seeing this, the t34 at the front immediately wanted to withdraw, but when they poured out of the sea of ​​fire and were upgraded to the commander of the Volunteer Army by Zhuo Fan, Mohetar excitedly led more than a dozen young Kazakhstans to aim the t34 engine and smashed it hard. When the tank machine gun turned around, the boys had already disappeared into the complex streets. Because of the mixed with sticky crude oil and syrup, the flames quickly attached to the surface of the tank after the bottle was frying. Even though the t34 used non-flammable diesel, the flames still spread quickly.

A tank hand just pushed open the hatch and was about to escape. Han Shiwei's 12.7mm bullet arrived. Bang! With the crisp gunshot, the half-climbed tank hand was torn off from its waist, rolled into the sea of ​​fire, but the lower body was still hanging inside the tank! The remaining tank soldiers were so scared that they dared not move around. At this time, Mohetar came out from somewhere and threw a moor bottle from the hatch. Boom! With a loud bang, the tank ammunition was lured, and the t34, which had just been off the line for less than two months, was dispersed into waste parts.

The block in charge of Han Shiwei is just a small microcosm of the entire urban battlefield. Looking down from the reconnaissance plane in the sky, dozens of houses were destroyed by carefully arranged shells and explosives in just a few dozen minutes, and blocks were trapped in the sea of ​​fire. Soviet soldiers who lack protection screamed. The meat and blood from the machine guns were scattered all over the road. At least 30 tanks were destroyed by raindrop grenades and incendiary bombs! It should be admired that even a reserve force, Kacharov's troops were fighting very tenaciously, but the lack of automatic weapons to throw a large amount of ammunition for a short period of time made them trapped in a fire net composed of h32 semi-automatic rifles, submachine guns, shotguns, grenade guns and hj32 universal machine guns, not to mention the H37 fully automatic rifles equipped by the Falcon Commando, which is comparable to the light machine gun.

Under the guidance of the guide, Han Shiwei changed his position. After killing two Soviet officers hiding behind the t26 in a row, a half-track assault gun appeared behind the brick wall. In order to guide the assault gun, he replaced the semi-armor-piercing incendiary bomb and aimed at the hood of the t26 engine that was leading. The bullet penetrated the thin armor and ignited the gasoline engine. The leading t26 immediately burst into smoke, and the two t26s following immediately rushed out to him.

With one shot, the small building almost collapsed. Just as Han Shiwei escaped from the small building, the half-tracked car crashed into the wall and opened fire at the remaining two vehicles at close range. Boom, boom! Wu Wenhu and his artillery squad used the fastest speed to kill two t26s, and pointed the universal machine gun on the vehicle at the Soviet infantry. "Hiss." With the rapid shooting, the Soviet infantry was beaten so hard that they were overturned, and they had to leave the body and retreat out of the street in a hurry.

When Han Shiwei and Wu Wenhu began to look for the next target, Major General Sherichenko, who was responsible for the attack, was already in his eyes. I am afraid that the 29th Army officers, including Kacharov, did not expect that the city war would be like this! "Retreat! Retreat." Faced with the chaotic battlefield, no one would be so stupid as to follow the opponent's footsteps to fight, so Major General Sherichenko immediately ordered a retreat. But at this time his troops had already spread out in more than 30 blocks, and there was not enough radio coordination, so they could not retreat just by wanting to retreat.

The troops were trapped in a mess of sand and fought each other. They wanted to retreat but could not withdraw, and the attack lacked the necessary means. This situation made Kacharov so anxious that he jumped back and forth like an ant on a hot pan. In order to open up the situation, he finally accepted the advice of the staff. He ordered the artillery to enter the city and use artillery shells to destroy the blocking buildings. This move was very effective. At least 30 heavy artillery pieces of 122 and 152 mm were put into the city's combat. The artillery, regardless of whether there were any soldiers in the building, directly opened fire to level the houses that blocked tanks and infantry.

Seeing the smoke and clouds rising from both sides of the southeast, and the buildings turned into rubble under the direct shooting of artillery at close range, Zhuo Fan immediately realized something was wrong!

"What's going on?"

"Sir! Find a way! The Russians have invested heavy artillery and their firepower is too strong! They bombarded the house at close range, and many people were crushed to death before they could retreat!" Ye Zishan rushed into the command center with red eyes and covered in smoke, angrily smashing the steel helmet on the table. The sacrifice of a large number of comrades made him, who had just made great contributions, want to kill Kacharov with one shot.

"Don't be anxious!" Zhuo Fan tried hard to keep calm. He knew that the more calm the more he needed. If the officers were in a mess, the soldiers below would be even less able to fight. So after walking around, he gritted his teeth and took out his last resort. He drew an arc red line on the southeast sides of the city map, pointing and shouting: "Let Commander Zhao lead the 2nd regiment to attack from the north! Zishan, do you see? This is your mission! Give you twenty minutes to get our people behind the red line. Call the Air Force. Whether it is a bomber or a transport plane, I will fly for me as long as I can fly, and throw the prepared oil barrels to me on the southeast sides of the red line! Order everyone to bring a gas mask! Those without masks will find water on the spot to cover their mouths and noses with towels!"

"Don't stop the offensive! Keep the pressure and blow me up all the houses I can see!"

Zhuo Fan made a desperate bet. Kazarov saw that the bayonet tactics on the cannon had been effective, and he swept the downward trend and ordered the expansion of the results. But at this moment, he didn't know that Ye Zishan had once again led the airborne battalion into the battlefield, and turned on the amplifier installed on the 25 tanks to notify the troops to retreat in Chinese. Even the Kazakh Volunteers who were urgently invested in the Kazakh Volunteers took advantage of the familiar environment to find the wounded and hidden troops, and then retreated behind the red line.

"Blow him away!" Major General Shelitchko's eyes were red, and he personally directed three 122mm howitzers toward the solid Post and Telecommunications Bureau building. One by one, the shells hit the four-story building built by granite. When it was about to collapse, a harsh buzz suddenly appeared in the sky. 16 transport planes and 8 H-500 supported formations flew over his head, and then threw 505 barrels of crude oil from 600 meters high! "Be careful of the bomb!" Shelitchko and his soldiers thought it was bombs hiding everywhere at first, but later they found it was an oil barrel, but it was too late. After the oil barrels hit the ground, they quickly deformed and ruptured, splashing out large patches of viscous black oil spots.

“What does it taste?”

"It seems to be sulfur."

"Look, it's not a bomb, it's an oil barrel!"

Seeing the cracked oil barrels all over the ground and the crude oil that was spreading like mud, Sherichenko's face changed drastically! "Retreat, retreat! Don't worry about cannons, retreat quickly!" A scream higher than the other made the atmosphere suddenly tense. No matter how stupid the soldiers saw the oil barrels all over the ground, they could understand what the opponent was doing. But it was too late. The dive bombers and ground attack aircraft that were worried that their side had been attacking the Soviet army outside the city quickly turned around and threw high-explosive bombs and rockets to the most densely densely popped up areas of the gasoline barrels. The oil barrels in some scattered areas were also ignited by lightning and armor-piercing incendiary bombs. The dense explosion and strafing of boom, the crude oil dropped was quickly ignited! The flames spread very quickly, and in the blink of an eye it became a prairie fire! Hundreds of Soviet troops who had not had time to retreat were swallowed up by the explosion and flames.

The Soviet Union was a major oil country, but a small refining country. When Germany, Japan and Italy were worried about oil supply, only the Soviet Union was the only one who transported millions of tons of crude oil to Siberia and Central Asia every year to burn it directly for heating and power generation. Because of this, Zhuofan, who quickly took down Kizilorda, not only searched the power plant for making incendiary bombs, but also came up with a way to airdrop and ignite directly to the most dense places of the Soviet army. Since the viscous crude oil will release a large amount of toxic smoke after burning, many Soviet soldiers were choked to death by the toxic smoke that spreads even if they were not burned to death.

To enhance the effect, Zhuo Fan stocked up 1,700 barrels of crude oil at the airport, and ordered all aircraft not to be shut down, and used 1,000 Kazakh Volunteers as porters. As soon as the plane landed, it would be moved into the cabin immediately, and then flew back to fly and threw the oil barrel into the sea of ​​fire. In this way, in just one hour, using the airport less than 35 kilometers away, 1,700 barrels of crude oil were all put into the southeastern sides of the red line. As more and more buildings were ignited, half of the city was shrouded in the sea of ​​fire. Even Zhuo Fan had to order his troops to blow up nearby buildings, and exploded the ice surface of the Sir River and sprayed with a water pump to prevent excessive fire from burning himself.

The raging flames, the thick smoke that covered the sky and the sun, and countless shells that were lured into explosions were like a heavy hammer, which made Kacharov and the Soviet army confused! But before they could qingchu how many soldiers were flooded by the sea of ​​fire, the tank regiment led by Zhao Dengyu had already detoured to the north and rushed straight down...
