Along with the shrill shouts, countless people ran frantically from their homes. At this time, the raging flames had already burned over. Along with the strong wind, the flames flew everywhere, igniting one house after another, and the fire was merciless.
Devouring everything.
The residents of Akdoka suffered unprecedented disasters. Planes flew over the city from time to time, and bombs fell on their heads like hailstones.
The fire caused by the explosion was raging in the city, and there was no way to stop it. Countless people could only run around, and what they wanted most was to rush out.
However, various intersections have been under martial law, and a large number of Russian soldiers have machine guns pointed at these people.
"Quickly, let us get out. We don't want to wait to die in the city."
"Go back!" Faced with the people's demands, the Russian commander's eyes widened and he said viciously: "You bastards, just go back. Don't challenge my patience, or I'll beat you to death."
"Kill me if you can, you damn bandits, Russians, get out of our land!"
A middle-aged man suddenly shouted loudly, and he rushed towards the Russian army desperately, getting closer and closer to the Russians. Suddenly the gun fired tongues of fire, and countless blood splatters suddenly appeared on the big man's chest.
His chest was shattered and he fell heavily to the ground.
Seeing this man's tragic death, the other Central Asians couldn't bear it anymore and rushed towards the Russian army crazily. If they stayed, they would be killed by bombs, and if they were beaten to death, they would die.
These people suddenly forgot their past humility and cowardice and rushed towards the Russians as if they were desperate. At this time, the Russian machine guns finally fired, and the people who led the charge were killed one by one.
Kill people. The Russians will never show mercy. The battle has been fought to the death. They cannot let these people escape. Not only will they disrupt order, they may even take the situation in the city out. You must know that Central Asians and Russia
People are not of the same mind.
The sound of gunfire gradually weakened, the smoke dissipated, and a pungent smell of blood rushed into the nostrils. There were hundreds of corpses piled up on the ground, and some people were lucky enough to survive. The painful "shenyin" passed by.
After a lot of killings, the Russians gradually calmed down and drove these people back. The cruel killings were the seeds of hatred. The eyes of these people were full of poisonous light, staring at the Russian soldiers.
Just as they were escorting these people, a messenger suddenly ran over panting, and said with a change of expression: "Something bad is going on. The Chinese are coming, hurry up and defend!"
When the Russian soldiers heard this, they were also shocked. They really couldn't imagine how it could come so fast. Didn't they just break through the Alashan Pass? How could they be here in the blink of an eye? Could it be that the Chinese fell from the sky?
But no matter how confused they were, the order from their superiors had been issued, and the Russian soldiers rushed into the front line of the battle in panic. At this time, they encountered the most terrifying scene in their lives.
On the distant horizon, streaks of sand and dust appeared, covering the sky and the sun, accompanied by rumbling roars. Huge tanks rushed towards them. The high muzzles were full of power, wild, fierce, and majestic.
, merged together. In the face of this modern war machine, any resistance is humble.
The Russians are also equipped with tanks, but they pale in comparison to the tanks in front of them. Their view is not wrong. The main tank used by Zhang Henian this time is already the latest second-generation main battle tank developed by China.
.
The basic tonnage of the original tank was between 10 and 15 tons, which was similar to the T26. The tonnage of the second-generation tank was increased to about 27 tons, which was almost twice as large.
A larger tank means that it can be equipped with a larger caliber main gun. This batch of tanks has been equipped with a 30 times caliber 76 main gun. Looking around the world, their tank main guns generally stay between 40 and 50 mm.
During the period, China has undoubtedly taken another big step ahead of schedule.
Moreover, China also took the lead in adopting the tilted deck, Christie suspension system, and 50 cm wide super-large tracks. In addition, China and Germany also conducted joint research and development and jointly developed a 12-cylinder diesel engine with a horsepower of 400. It was also the leader among its contemporaries.
of.
Relying on the powerful engine, the new tank can reach 40 kilometers on the road and 32 kilometers per hour off-road. From all aspects, the new generation tank is already quite close to the Soviet T34. There is no doubt that the T34
In the early days of World War II, it was also a well-designed tank.
Moreover, in the super attrition war between major powers, Soviet-made tanks proved their strength with their record. The new tanks actually took shape around 2023, and began to be equipped on a small scale among the troops.
Obviously, this kind of tank, which is leading the world by a large margin, is not so easy to build. Problems continue to arise during testing and are constantly fed back to the military factory, and then continuous improvements are made. For example, 60-degree tilted armor was initially adopted.
Finally, it was changed to 45 degrees, which can better rebound the shells and also enhance the defense.
Of course, the biggest improvement is the issue of comfort. Early tanks can torture the driver to death, which shows how bad this tank is. Soviet-made tanks are also notorious in this regard. Don't think that comfort is a small thing.
Directly related to the ability of armored forces to continue fighting.
China also worked hard, and finally this type of tank was finalized in 2026 and was named the Snow Leopard tank. After two years, the main force of the Guards Division was basically replaced.
The battlefield in Central Asia was the debut of the "Snow Leopard". Not long after the war started, the soldiers developed a strong love for this tank. First of all, the Snow Leopard was comfortable and had excellent off-road performance. Facing the yellow sand in Central Asia, the Snow Leopard was like a
On flat ground, the 50cm wide tracks provide strong support and can easily cross sand dunes one after another without worrying about getting stuck.
Moreover, the 76mm main gun is fatal to any fortifications of the Russian army. As long as it is directly hit by an artillery shell, all the fortifications will be smashed. And the outstanding defensive capabilities can easily block shrapnel, even small-caliber artillery.
.
With strong firepower, fast speed, outstanding protection, and relative comfort, they are simply the perfect warrior. More than 200 "Snow Leopards" rushed to the forefront of the entire army.
When these tanks appeared outside Akdoka, the Russian soldiers guarding were frightened. The tank soldiers did not hesitate at all. They drove their steel chariots and rushed over quickly. Artillery shells were beside the Russians.
Explosion. Death came to them.
More and more Russians were killed. With a charge, the position was cut into several sections. The follow-up troops divided and surrounded them, and then quickly eaten them.
There was originally a brigade of Russian troops guarding Akdoka, but within two hours, thousands of them were killed. In addition, more than 2,000 people fled, and the rest became prisoners of the Chinese army.
Until they were caught, these people were still in a daze. They had no idea that they would be so vulnerable. Facing the Chinese army, they had no ability to resist. But Zhang Henian didn't care about them. Speed was the life of the armored soldiers. He
Before Akdoka could completely settle down, he immediately organized his army and headed for the next target.
The Chinese army entered Central Asia, and a huge boulder fell into the water. It set off a huge wave, and the entire Central Asia was affected. People with intentions from all walks of life were ready to take action.
As early as the Han Dynasty, Central Asia had in-depth exchanges with China. In fact, the history of Central Asia is much longer than that of Russia. Many powerful countries have appeared here before the Tsar forcibly annexed it.
Since then, resistance in various places has never stopped.
Especially after 1916, the Basmazi movement emerged here. The so-called Basmachi means bandits. Central Asia has always had a tradition of plunder. In order to make it easier to suppress, the Tsar called the troublemakers Basmazi.
strange.
After the Russian Revolution, this force quickly turned into a national independence movement. They tried to split from Russia, regain their former glory, and establish their own country. They continued to fight against the Russians, and both sides won.
Negative, it lasted even more than ten years.
As Russia becomes stronger and stronger, the country becomes more stable, and the intensity of its attacks becomes more and more shocking. They can only retreat to the hills, mountains, and desert areas to protect their own safety. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that they have failed.
Even the British, their former financial backers, were unwilling to help them.
At this life-and-death moment, the Chinese suddenly extended a helping hand. After Yang Yuting inspected Xinjiang, he determined the policy of supporting the national movements in Central Asia. He wanted to use these people to consume Russia's energy and at the same time pave the way for China's actions.
.
China's main supporter is Junaid Khan. He is a prince in Central Asia and has a large number of troops. Originally, they were not from the same group as Basmachi, who was a bandit. However, after having a common enemy, Junaid Khan
Dehan gradually merged with Basmachi.
After receiving funding from China, Junaid Khan quickly bought a large number of Basmachi leaders, and his army expanded rapidly to more than 20,000 people. And after receiving the arms provided by China, their
Equipment has been greatly improved.
These fierce bandits have long been eager to try. The Chinese army entered Central Asia, like a spark, completely igniting a pile of dry firewood. The bandits who had retreated into the deserts and mountains sprang out again.
Because Russia forcibly promoted agricultural collectivization, it had a great impact on local people's livelihood. Many people were dissatisfied with Russia, but they just dared to be angry.
Now that there was a leader, these people did not hesitate to side with Basmachi. Junaid Khan's team expanded by more than half in just a few days.
These bandit armed forces have little effect in head-to-head confrontation, but they are enough to cause chaos for the Russians. They attack trade routes, massacre Russian people, and even attack governments everywhere. As long as they capture members of the majority party, they will not hesitate
Kill it and create intense terror.
After a lot of massacres, Junaid Khan's troops controlled an area stretching from the Pamir Plateau in the east, to the Caspian Sea coast in the west, and to the Amu Darya and Syr Darya rivers in the north. This area is about one-third the size of Central Asia.
1. Although the terrain is rugged, it is the commanding height of the entire Central Asia. It controls Central Asia to the west, looks to Afghanistan and South Asia to the south, approaches Iran and other places to the west, and extends outward from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the east.
This area is the core of Asia and has unparalleled value. It has completely fallen into the hands of a group of bandits. Of course the Russians are not willing to accept it, but what can they do!
The Russians still had bigger troubles. After Zhang Henian occupied Akdoka, they briefly rested and then began to move north to seize more land.
In the long yellow sand, China's steel army is advancing rapidly. Wherever it passes, the Russians are fleeing and are in a panic.
"Sorry, good news!"
Yang Yuting took the battle report and happily walked up to Zhang Tinglan and said with a smile: "Zhang Henian got off to a good start in Central Asia."
Zhang Tinglan was just watching the battle report in the Far East. The Russian offensive was getting more and more fierce. China was under great pressure, but it couldn't spare the troops. Zhang Tinglan was also a little worried.
At this time, with the news of victory, Zhang Tinglan seemed to have received a shot in the arm and hurriedly said with a smile: "How is the situation in Central Asia?"
"It's better than we thought. The Russians' power in Central Asia is quite weak, and they didn't expect that we could launch an attack from here. Zhang Henian and the others have entered Central Asia for five days, and have killed and captured more than 2 Russian troops.
Thousands of people, the Russian troops on the border have been wiped out. They have seized Akdoka, and through railway maneuvers, they have seized Sayak and Balkhash, followed by Karaganda and Astana. If everything goes well
If so, Central Asia will fall into our hands within half a month."
“How are the logistics going?”
The armored force looks majestic, but in fact it is a monster that devours supplies, especially since not only the armored force, but also the air force must keep up. Every day, two to three hundred tanks and nearly a thousand other vehicles are driven, swallowing fuel.
Tiger. To a certain extent, the war in Central Asia is a logistical war, so Zhang Tinglan asked this question.
"Don't worry. Since the completion of the Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway, with our support capabilities, we can maintain at least 100,000 combat needs. Although there is no railway connection from Xinjiang to Central Asia, we have recruited a large number of civilians. Especially,
The people in Central Asia hate the Russians so much that they actually took the initiative to help us, which was unexpected. With their help, the logistical pressure has been reduced a lot."
“Do the people of Central Asia really hate Russia so much?”
"No, it's just that many people were robbed of their land. They are all local dignitaries with some appeal. There are also some religious elders who are dissatisfied with the Russians because of their beliefs."
Zhang Tinglan nodded, with a smile on his lips: "Since the people's support is available, we might as well light another fire. Lin Ge, go and draw up a list of Central Asian princes, canonize these people immediately, and encourage them to jump out and oppose Russia."
