In the Central Asian battlefield, the day after the Soviet army occupied Tashkent, Kulik, the commander of the Soviet Central Asian theater, led the army southward without hesitation. As of the 25th, except for one infantry division left to guard Tashkent, the rest of the main force had crossed the Syr Darya River.
, forcing them towards the Leninabat area where the Anjia army was gathering.
On the 26th, the Anjiajun electronic countermeasures brigade sneaked between Ares and Tashkent and completely interfered with the Soviet army's radio communications. Ye Cheng grouped three tank corps, directly under the guard corps and three reinforced motorized infantry divisions, and the troops were unearthed.
Erkestan suddenly appeared outside the city of Ares, the hub of the Central Asian Railway and the Caspian Railway.
The Soviet army was caught off guard and hurriedly responded to the battle. After a fierce battle all day and night, the entire army was wiped out and Ares successfully recovered.
The Yecheng cluster did not stop and quickly moved south, annihilating a division of Soviet troops stationed in Tashkent on the morning of the 28th. Due to electronic signal interference, the Soviet troops never sent out a distress signal under attack from beginning to end.
On the afternoon of the 28th, Ye Cheng's cluster left an infantry division behind and quietly built fortifications on the north bank of the Syr Darya River. The main force quickly moved eastward, and on the morning of July 30th, they captured the Talas Pass guarded by the Soviet army, and then pounced on it.
Jambur City. After the main force of Ye Cheng's cluster occupied Jambur, his troops were very fast. It only took one day for the forward troops to arrive at Frunze and launch an attack on the two divisions of Soviet troops defending the city.
After two days and nights of fierce fighting, during which they also repelled three Soviet divisions returning from Chu City on the south bank of the Chu River, Frunzhi City was liberated on August 1. On August 2, in the north and south of Yecheng Cluster and Xiao Wu Cluster,
Under the pincer attack, the five Soviet divisions on the south bank of the Chu River surrendered after a little resistance.
After the war, it was discovered that most of the twelve Soviet divisions stationed in Jambur, Frunze and Chucheng were so hungry that they could not even walk, let alone fight, because they only had one meal for a long time.
...
Sulyukta Pass west of Leninabat.
After being covered by fierce artillery fire, the Soviet army launched another round of attack on the mountain pass position held by the Anjia army.
More than 5,000 Soviet soldiers swarmed out of the trenches, like a raging wave, and attacked the mountain pass, which had been silent after the shelling.
There was silence in the Anjia Army's frontline position. Several soldiers emerged from the artillery holes. After checking the laid mines, they quickly passed through the traffic ditch and ran to the position on the high ground behind.
In the rear position on the mountainside, more than a hundred general-purpose machine guns and Maxim machine guns of various types were densely arrayed. The infantrymen simply acted as ammunition carriers, and as many as two hundred mortars and rocket launchers,
The angle is aligned with the front position.
About two hundred meters behind the battle line, there were gaps in the artillery position. The gunners held on tightly to the gun ropes, and the grenades were loaded into the chambers. The ammunition handlers held the grenades with fuses in their hands and lined up in a line.
When they rushed to a hundred meters in front of the front line position, the Soviet front line was already prepared to face the hail of bullets. Then they rushed forward twenty meters. The hearts of the grassroots Soviet commanders and political cadres at the front were jumping into their throats.
Their eyes were closed. Although they were not afraid of death, it was best not to die. Who would have thought that they would rush forward more than ten meters, and the trench in front would still be as quiet as death.
"Have all the Chinese been killed by our artillery?" the charging Soviet officers and soldiers thought ecstatically, their feet moving faster.
Finally arriving at the front-line position set up by the Anjia Army at the foot of the mountain, the Soviet troops jumped out of the trenches one after another and quickly stepped on more than two hundred mines buried at the mouths of traffic ditches and anti-aircraft holes. In the huge fireball, whole groups of
Mud flew into the sky, traffic ditches, and bomb-proof caverns collapsed.
As the sound of landmines sounded, the general-purpose machine guns and Maxim machine guns on the Anjiajun position took the lead in launching an attack. Hundreds of violent flames were like sickles wielded by the god of death, fiercely cutting into the charging Soviet army. The flames
Wherever it went, streams of bloody arrows were sprayed out, and the Soviet officers and soldiers who were caught off guard fell one by one.
The deputy shooter quickly connected the ammunition chains one by one. Amidst the continuous roar of the Maxim machine gun and the general machine gun, the yellow bullet casings fell to the ground with a clanking sound, and soon they piled up into a small pile.
Before the stunned Soviet soldiers could react, the gunners of the small-caliber artillery placed on the position by the Anjia Army pulled hard on the gun ropes, and "dong dong——" dozens of grenades screamed and plunged into the Soviet army.
formation, and in the continuous explosions, blood, limbs, and weapons were all over the sky.
The Soviet troops behind were frightened and threw themselves into the wide trench like dumplings. Soon, there was nothing but densely packed corpses at the front of the position.
At the main artillery position on the top of the mountain, sixteen M1910 107mm howitzers captured from the Soviet army launched a rapid bombardment at the same time. The sixteen rounds of shells drew beautiful arcs in the sky, and they pounced on the already locked
Soviet artillery position.
"Boom boom——"
Huge explosions sounded simultaneously on the Soviet artillery positions. The 76.2mm Putilov field cannons in the center of the explosion, which had been loaded with shells and were waiting to be fired, flew straight out in an instant and turned over in the air.
After flipping over several times, it hit the ground several meters away, and the gun body and barrel were separated.
In the orange fireball, the gunners who stood on the gun positions rose into the air. Their lifeless bodies were cut into several pieces by sharp shrapnel before they hit the ground. Dripping blood, limbs, and internal organs were splashed everywhere.
The Soviet artillery commander, who was knocked over by the blast wave, stood up tenaciously, ignoring the blood seeping from the corners of his mouth, and shouted: "Shoot -"
Amidst the shrapnel flying everywhere on the artillery position, the still alive gunners and the supplementary auxiliary gunners were about to pull the gun rope! At this time, amidst the screams of bullets flying at high speed, these gunners who had gathered their courage almost shuddered at the same time.
Zhen then fell to the ground weakly, and streams of blood arrows spurted out from the hole in his head or chest.
This is the Anjia Army's snipers showing off their power!
As the body of the sniper rifle trembled slightly, bullets accurately penetrated the Soviet gunner's head or chest.
The second and third rounds of ammunition exploded on the Soviet artillery position one after another. The artillery pieces, together with the Soviet officers and soldiers lying next to them, turned into a pile of parts in the firelight. In the huge fireball, ammunition boxes were piled up.
was detonated,
The entire Soviet artillery position was razed to the ground in the continuous explosions. Amidst the desperate screams, thousands of Soviet artillerymen lying on the artillery position were shaken into the sky one after another, and were immediately turned into a rain of blood by countless shrapnel.
The Soviet officers and soldiers of the two regiments deployed on both sides of the Soviet artillery position were also shocked by the violent shock wave, causing their mouths and noses to bleed, and they were miserable.
While the artillery was unleashing its power, the Anjia Army's mortars and rocket launchers were fired at the same time. Dark cloud-like groups of bullets drew large arcs in mid-air, covering the trenches where the Soviet troops were hiding.
The more than two thousand remaining Soviet officers and soldiers in the trench lay in despair and shivered in the wide and high trench. Just as they were secretly thankful to have such a safe trench to hide in, they suddenly heard a group of screams getting closer and closer.
, the Soviet officers and soldiers who were very familiar with this sound suddenly became desperate.
At this point, even the Soviet officers and soldiers with iron will finally collapsed. Knowing what was going to happen, they rushed towards the trench wall crazily. In the crowd, the officers and soldiers in front were still jumping hard, but they were severely beaten by the screaming officers and soldiers behind.
Pushed down. Before he could react, the Soviet soldier who fell to the ground was covered by countless legs. Amidst a series of screams, blood once again flowed all over the trench.
As waves of overwhelming grenades accurately fell into the trenches, hundreds of orange-red fireballs rose into the sky one after another. The relatively closed space amplified the power of the explosion several times.
The Soviet officers and soldiers at the center of the explosion were violently thrown out of the trench without even making a sound. Their bodies were riddled with holes and heavily hit the position with rain of blood. Tens of thousands of sharp shrapnel screamed in the trench.
Shooting in all directions, chasing the Soviet officers and soldiers who had nowhere to hide, the blood arrows dyed the entire trench red amid the constant screams.
Among the piles of limbs, more than a hundred Soviet officers and soldiers were lying in the blood, covering their wounds with gushing blood, howling in pain. The Soviet army's seemingly powerful offensive was suddenly destroyed in the blink of an eye.
Anjia officers and soldiers resolved the situation.
...
Begovat, Soviet Central Asian Theater Command.
Kulik was furious at a group of generals: "What are you doing? You have been attacking a small mountain pass for nearly a week and still failed to capture it. Instead, you lost your troops. Is this how the heroic and invincible Red Army should behave?"
Each of the commanders looked pale and silent. Many of them endured the "gurgling" sound from their stomachs, lowered their heads, and cursed in their hearts: After entering Tashkent, not a single grain of food was found. The troops fought continuously, and the commanders and soldiers continued to fight every day.
Hungry, as the food is gradually consumed, it is now difficult to guarantee even two meals. Many commanders have fallen ill due to hunger, and the soldiers are very sick. Under such circumstances, it is extremely difficult to achieve a good record.
!
Seeing that everyone was silent, Kulik wanted to call his name. At this time, the military and political commissar Mehlis walked into the conference room, approached Kulik, and suggested that he adjourn the meeting temporarily as there were important situations that needed to be reported.
Kulik was worried that he couldn't find anyone to vent to, so he pointed at Mehris and said: "What are you doing sneaking around? You can't tell anyone anything. We are all revolutionary comrades. If you have anything to hide, just tell me in front of all the commanders."
Say it in person!"
Mehris was anxious: "Comrade Marshal, this is the news sent by the comrades of the Southern Front Corps over the Lenin Mountains and the Turks Mountains. It is of great importance, and announcing it in public may affect the morale of the army..."
Kulik was slightly startled: "Don't they know how to send a telegram?"
Mehris said in pain: "The problem is that the telegram was sent, but there was no response. I just made a special trip to the communications department. They said that they had not received any news for a week, and there was no response to the telegram.
.Although I don’t know what happened, I think it may all have something to do with our opponents..."
The Soviet generals looked at each other with surprise. After thinking about it, Kulik still felt that he should maintain his prestige and deliberately pretended not to care. He said, "No matter what, tell the news first."
In desperation, Mehris had to report truthfully: "Aren't we unable to contact the garrisons in Tashkent and Ares these days? Now the news has been confirmed that they were wiped out by the Chinese army! In addition, we stayed behind around Frunze
The troops in the area were also attacked by the superior strength of the Chinese army.
.Before the Southern Front Corps received the urgent report from Frunze and sent a correspondent to deliver information to us, Jambur had already been lost. It is estimated that Frunze City and Chu City have also fallen into the hands of the Chinese now. If I am not wrong, I guess
, the main force of the enemy army is rushing towards us, we must make a decision as soon as possible."
"What? How is this possible?" Kulik exclaimed, the expressions of all the generals and commanders changed dramatically, and there was a buzz of discussion in the conference room.
Kulik grabbed Mehris's hand: "Is the news correct?"
Mehris said: "The correspondent is waiting in the war room now. You can ask in person..."
