The Soviet Third Division's counterattack was meaningless and ridiculous. It used infantry to pursue the tank troops. Only a hot-headed person could make such a ridiculous decision. When the Third Division pursued it five kilometers away from the river mouth forest, An Ruoyi's tanks
The brigade suddenly turned around and charged at the pursuers with lightning speed.
"It's over! It's all over!"
Kudryash, the commander of the 3rd Soviet Division at the rear of the team, looked pale. He watched helplessly as the leading cavalry was defeated by the enemy's tank troops. The artillery had just found its position and was about to bombard the tanks with anti-tank artillery, but was stopped by the north.
The sudden dive bombers were defeated, and then the infantry suffered. The enemy's tanks were galloping around, dividing and surrounding their own soldiers. Many weapons they had never seen before were spitting out violent tongues of fire, ruthlessly harvesting lives.
The political commissar of the third division, Zahvoki, looked pale and said loudly: "Comrade Kudryash, you should find a way to reverse the current unfavorable situation! Didn't we fight well in the town of Davkara?"
Kudryash shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But now I can't create an anti-tank trench that can prevent the enemy from attacking, and there is no place to hide our anti-tank troops. We..."
Internal Affairs Commissar Kazarinsky interrupted Kudryash, with a ferocious look on his face: "No, organize a death squad immediately and get close to the enemy's tanks. I don't believe it. We will be in trouble with tanks without infantry protection, Comrade Kudryash."
,you......"
Before Kazarinsky finished speaking, a bomber suddenly rushed down from the sky. Kudryash felt something was wrong and was about to call everyone to avoid it, but it was too late. After a violent rain of machine gun bullets, two 100-kilogram bombers
The level of aerial bombs fell rapidly, turning the area a hundred meters away into a hell of flying shrapnel. The senior commanders of the Third Division who had gathered here were immediately taken away from the blame.
Seeing that the senior commander of the army was gone, the Soviet army, which had been frightened by the cooperation of tanks and aircraft, suddenly exploded and fled around frantically. They were chased and beaten by tanks one after another, leaving corpses lying everywhere.
All over the fields.
In the armored command vehicle, An Ruoyi, commander of the Second Brigade, saw through the periscope that the Soviet army was defeated. A smile appeared on his face, and he turned around and asked, "Where is the main force now?"
Lin Longji, the chief of the intelligence section who was busy in front of the radio station, replied: "The third, fourth, and fifth brigades have all entered the river mouth forest and are currently heading towards Kizi Town. The first brigade has successfully occupied Kornokazakhdariya.
Town, the Sixth Brigade was ordered to assist in the defense. The rest of the main force will enter the edge of the forest and desert in the north in an hour."
An Ruoyi nodded: "In that case, we don't need to rescue Kezizhen... Chief Qiao, give me an order for each battalion to give up chasing the enemy and return to the team quickly. After refueling and overhauling,
We once again went south to attack the town of Daukkara, but this time we penetrated from the desert edge to the west of the town and tried to deal with the enemy overnight. As long as Daukkara is captured, the entire river mouth forest will be under our control, and the Soviet army will counterattack again.
You have to think about it!"
"yes!"
Qiao Chongqing, chief of the operations section, recorded An Ruoyi's order and left quickly.

Just when the Anjia Army was in close combat with the Soviet Army in the mouth of the southern Aral Sea, the battle between the Soviet Army and the Far Eastern Army at the eastern foot of the Ural Mountains also became intense.
After the failure of the Perm offensive on the first day, the Soviet army opened new fronts in Izhevsk, Ufa, and Orenburg.
Having learned the lesson of the first day's failure, the Soviet army equipped a large number of anti-aircraft weapons on the front line, which caused huge damage to the Far East Army's fighter planes. Nearly a hundred fighter planes were shot down within a week. Of course, compared to the losses of the Soviet army, this nearly
The effort of hundreds of fighter planes is completely worth it.
Yes, the tanks and artillery assembled by the Soviet army on the front line suffered heavy blows and were completely unable to play their role as gods of war. Several corps and division-level headquarters were wiped out, and the infantry attack was completely destroyed due to the artillery fire of the Far East Army.
Suppression was in vain and resulted in heavy casualties.
As of April 27, the Soviet offensive had not made any progress.
During this period, the Soviet army also thought about launching an attack from Saratov along the railway to Uralsk. However, on the morning of the 23rd, the two railway and highway bridges across the Volga River were violently attacked by the Anjia Army Air Force.
It collapsed after the bombing, and the Soviet side organized people to rob it overnight
It was repaired, but every time it was not repaired, it attracted more bombers. At most, thousands of fighter planes flew along the Volga River from Saratov to Kuibyshev at the same time, which would connect several cities on the Volga River.
The pontoon bridge exploded, greatly frightening the Soviets.
The Anjiajun did not overly stimulate Moscow. They usually destroyed the Soviet bridge crossing facilities and then returned. And it was like they had eyes. No matter where the Soviet army chose to erect a pontoon bridge, it would not take long for the Anjiajun air force to be attracted.
, which left the Soviets with no choice but to focus all their attention on the northern battlefield.

An Yi read the latest battle reports from all fronts in Central Asia, with a look of anxiety on his face: "Now the offensive on the southern front is blocked, and according to our intelligence, the Japanese have assembled more than fifty divisions in the northeastern part of Korea.
forces, at the same time, the Japanese Navy combined
The fleet has been transferred north to the Sea of Japan and frequently clashes with the Far East Navy. The strategic materials we transport from the United States to Vladivostok have been intercepted and inspected by the Japanese army many times. Various signs indicate that Japan's invasion of the Far East is possible at any time.
occur!"
In order to strengthen the military leadership of the Central Asian theater, Hu Jialin, who specially received Guriyev from the Syrian government as the commander of the theater, had an equally solemn expression:
"The front line of Chuyili Mountain and Latau Mountain has been unable to be taken. We entered Uzbekistan and encountered the main force of the Soviet army. The Far East Army on the eastern front engaged the Soviet army on the front line of Turkmenistan. The resistance of the Soviet army was stronger than we imagined.
tenacious."
Huang Zhi, who was the deputy chief of the General Staff and temporarily replaced the chief of staff of the Central Asian Theater, nodded: "None of us expected beforehand that the terrain in southern Central Asia is so complex. This large continuous mountain range is almost
is natural
The blocking barrier reminds me of the towering Taihang Mountains on the North China Plain. Now we have to see whether Ye and Li can defeat the main force of the Soviet army on the southern line of the Aral Sea as soon as possible, speed up their move south, and defeat the opponent's defense line from the flanks."
At this time, Shen Fengdao walked in from outside the door, said hello to Hu Jialin and Huang Zhi, and then said to An Yi: "The plane is ready, we have to board the plane. We will go to Ust-Kamen to fill up the tank tomorrow morning.
We have to transfer to Kulun and then fly directly to Xufu, trying to reach Xinjing tomorrow night."
An Yi stood up and apologized to Hu Jialin: "Brother Hu, Central Asia lacks a strong general to take charge, so you are not in good health. I still forced you to transfer you from Xu Mansion. I feel very sorry.
Whatever needs to be solved, I will try my best to satisfy it.”
Hu Jialin smiled: "I have been training for almost a year, and my hands are itchy. Now I can lead troops to fight. There is nothing more joyful than this. And it will be May soon, and spring has entered in Guliyev.
, my body can bear it! But Lao Huang, he is now the deputy chief of staff of the General Staff, and I asked him to be my chief of staff, I am a little..."
Huang Zhi said quickly: "Old Army Commander, aren't you trying to kill me? There is work everywhere, and commanding operations on the front line is more to my liking. Besides, I have always been the subordinate of the old Army Commander.
Come on, now it’s time to go back to your old business!”
An Yi looked serious: "Brother Hu, Lao Huang, you are only temporarily seconded here. When Central Asia is pacified, effective local rule is established, and all armies are deployed in place, you still have to go back to the south to help me. You have all suffered serious injuries.
The weather in Central Asia is fine except from the end of April to the beginning of November, but the rest of the time is nothing less than a kind of torture for you. You don’t care but I still feel sorry for you!”
Hu Jialin laughed loudly: "Actually, it's nothing. Aren't there abundant oil, natural gas and coal resources here? If I'm really afraid of the cold, we'll just install heating and air conditioning. It's not as serious as you said. I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I'm in good health.
I believe that in a few months, everything will be fine and you don’t have to worry about me at all!”
An Yi said nothing more, hugged Hu Jialin affectionately, shook hands with Huang Zhi, turned and walked out the door.
During An Yi's time away from Xinjing, he accumulated a lot of government affairs, which he had to rush back to deal with as soon as possible. At the same time, as the Japanese navy moved northward, it created conditions for the Poyang Lake navy to move southward, and the navy also had to wait for him to return and make plans for the southward withdrawal.
Make the final decision.
Two weeks ago, the sunken ship in the main channel of the Yangtze River was finally salvaged. After more than seven months of continuous efforts by the British and Japanese, using underwater blasting and cutting and other techniques, the 50,000-ton oil tanker was basically successfully dismembered.
The waterway has been sorted out, and 10,000-ton cargo ships can freely enter and exit the Yangtze River Estuary. Shanghai is gradually restoring its status as an industrial and commercial center.
There are two 8,000-ton heavy cruisers, ten destroyers and a large number of gunboats in Poyang Lake. It is not a problem to stay in the lake for a long time. Therefore, the navy is determined to mobilize the ships southward while the Japanese navy is focusing on the Sea of Japan.
The Navy's plan is that the Air Force will send fighter jets to escort the passengers on their way south, and they will be escorted safely all the way to Nanhua's territorial waters.

Kezzi Town at the southern end of the Aral Sea Estuary Forest.
Just when the Soviet army was gathering strength and preparing to launch a new wave of offensive, three tank brigades of the Anjia Army suddenly appeared. The Soviet army was caught off guard and collapsed in the first battle. The tank troops took advantage of the situation to cover up the attack and chased them for more than ten kilometers before returning.
The Soviet Second Amu Darya Division reunited with the two independent regiments heading north, returned to Qinbai, and then immediately fed back the news of the large-scale march of the Chinese army southward to the Military and Corps Headquarters.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Ye Cheng and Li Jinlong led the front army headquarters to enter the town.
In a simple house, Ye Cheng, Li Jinlong and other generals from the headquarters gathered in front of a light powered by a diesel generator, analyzing the battle situation based on the Soviet army's map that was full of flaws.
"The 1st Tank Brigade has successfully occupied Kornokazakhdarya. According to Chen Bannian's report, there is indeed a large fuel depot and supply center in the north of the town, which stores 60% of the supplies and 50% of the Soviet Uzbek Corps. The enemy had no preparations for the fuel, and the first brigade occupied the town almost without a fight. According to the interrogation of the prisoners, there were two Soviet divisions in Karagar, Shahaman and other places to the west and south of the town, although the enemy did not know it yet. The fuel depot and supply center were lost, but with frequent battles, the Soviet army will sooner or later send troops to defend the area, and a fierce battle will inevitably break out! Chen Bannian suggested that it is best for our army to take the initiative to launch an attack to catch the enemy by surprise. !”
"In addition, after the Second Tank Brigade defeated the pursuing enemies, they quickly moved south to flank the town of Daukala. An Ruoyi called and said they would occupy the town overnight and, if possible, continue the attack to capture Thakuper, and then Build a defense line on the spot.”
After Chief of Staff Huang Hanqian introduced the battle situation, Ye Cheng and Li Jinlong discussed it and immediately mobilized their troops and generals, striving to quickly implement a strategic encirclement while the Soviet army was still in shock.
