Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The grass is decaying and the soil is brown, and the leaves are yellow and withered.  Standing on the high mountains and looking far away, the entire Akchatau region is like this withered scenery in severe winter.  No one likes this place, not even the herdsmen, because the environment of this place is somewhat special. To the east are endless mountains extending to the Toklawu River, and to the west are mountains that are difficult to navigate.

    Lujin has chosen a good terrain. Whoever wants to go to Karaganda through here must pay a sufficient price.  Fighting broke out after Sharif sent three identical telegrams.  There was a storm on the Soviet position that had just been carpet bombed. Three independent heavy artillery regiments and six self-propelled artillery battalions of the First Army of the Wehrmacht opened fire violently on the most critical 403 heights on the east side of Akchatau.  .  The temporary wooden piles and barbed wire fences set up by the Soviet army were lifted into the air, and the shock waves of the artillery shells swept across the surface, setting off sandy yellow storms. Many Soviet soldiers were suffocated to death by the shells in the trenches, with their orifices bleeding and their internal organs shattered.

    Kou Huainan, commander of the third battalion, stood on the tank and shook his arms: "For the majesty of the Republic, the National Defense Forces, attack!" With a hoarse cry, 41 Type 36 tanks led two infantry battalions to launch the first wave of attack.

    The artillerymen of the First Army showed their solid skills at this moment. The artillery shells were almost in front of the tanks of the third battalion, squeezing the Soviet troops into a barrage. The infantry hid behind the tanks, in the thick  Rushing up the slope under the protection of thick steel plates.  There is nothing fancy about the battle in the wild. The life-and-death struggle for position is extremely cruel.  After the rain of bullets climbed up the ridge and stopped temporarily, several 122mm howitzers in the Soviet position were immediately leveled. The officers hoped to use the caliber to destroy the Type 36 tank.

    Bang bang bang The smoke filled the ridge bunker. The 122mm shell hit the front of the Type 36 tank at a speed of 700 meters per second. However, to the disappointment of the Soviet army, except for two vehicles that were stopped by the bomb, several others were hit.  There was only a brief pause, and then it rushed toward them again, spewing black smoke.  "For the Soviets!" The party commandos organized by Sharif functioned as death squads.  The five commandos hiding behind the boulder had explosives strapped to their bodies and shouted slogans as they rushed towards a tank that was just around the corner.

    In the continuous explosions, four of them were hit by infantry and died, but the last one fell to the side of the tank before being hit.  boom!  With a loud noise, the left track of the Type 36 tank was blown off, and black spots were all over the surface of the vehicle. Three tank crew members inside were killed on the spot.

    "Expand left and right! Don't let them get close, mortars! Focus on knocking out the hiding spots!" Faced with the Soviet army's madness, the infantry battalion commander quickly changed his tactics and took the initiative to walk out of the tank shelter area.  Lead the infantry to spread out on both wings.  When many Soviet soldiers saw the scene just now, they were like enraged bulls. They frantically held grenades and explosive packets and tried to destroy the tank, but except for a few people, most of them were killed.

    "Up, up, up."

    The infantrymen began to accelerate past the tanks, and the intensive firepower formed by all H37 fully automatic rifles suppressed the Soviet troops on Highland 403 in the trenches.  As the most brutal trench clearing battle began, small smoke pillars continued to rise from the high ground, and many Soviet soldiers were unable to avoid it.  Simply fire the grenade and choose to die together.  Although the soldiers of the Soviet 16th Army tried their best to countercharge frantically, even at the risk of their lives, their opponents were calmer.  Seeing the enemy going crazy without risking his life, he simply took the initiative to keep a certain distance and win with firepower.

    The h37 assault rifle is comparable to a light machine gun.  Often two or three can hold down a platoon of Soviet troops unable to raise their heads, and the remaining infantry only need to get closer and throw grenades.  Under the heavy firepower, the first line of defense on Highland 403 was gradually overwhelmed, forcing Lukin to wait one hour after the battle began.  Just put in a few reserve teams.

    As the battle on Highland 403 began, Chunan took the 1st Armored Division as the leader and simultaneously deployed two infantry divisions to launch a fierce attack on the Akchatau area.

    "Commander, look, these idiots are going crazy." Leshiwen pointed to the most intense 403 heights.  This landform is strange, like a giant yellow adobe highland filled with smoke. There are explosions and dust and smoke everywhere. The fire points of machine guns are continuous. The intensity of the battle is even more intense than that of Riniwell back then.

    "This Lu Jin is indeed capable of motivating the soldiers to this extent." Chu Nan also nodded and said regretfully: "If we let him command a front army, I'm afraid we will really lose to him if we don't pay some blood. It's a pity that he  Now we only have a half-disabled army group, and the width of the troops' deployment is seriously insufficient. The troops that went south last night were all mobile forces. After losing them, there is not much reconnaissance force left. By the way, where are the 18th Division and the 48th Division?"

    Le Shiwen naturally understood the meaning of Chu Nan's words. In fact, from the beginning, everyone had no intention of getting entangled with Lu Jin.  This is Kazakhstan. The land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are countless places that can be detoured. Even if Akchatau has special terrain, Agadir, which is 80 kilometers to the west, can still pass through. It is just an extra 100 kilometers.

    "We're already here, Commander Xu."Thank you for your mercy and brought our truck over first.  Le Shiwen smiled and said: "Commander, why do I think you favor one over the other?"  Why don't you let me switch with the 3rd Division?  "

    "If you weren't here, I'm afraid Lu Jin wouldn't have the heart to fight." Chu Nan smiled and motioned to the staff to spread out the map: "From the telegram intercepted by the headquarters, Stalin has strictly ordered not to take even half a step back, and anyone who steps back will be shot.  He also asked Beria to monitor the families of officers such as Kulik and Lukin! So they will not retreat unless they have to. Now he has infantry in his hands. If he drills into the mountains to the east, he will eat them.  It¡¯s very laborious. So as long as you are here, he will think that we want to forcefully open the way to the north. So you and the 33rd Division and the 126th Division must adopt a strong pressure posture, but you can¡¯t be too harsh all at once, and you must force him to keep investing.  Reserve team, slowly wear him down, and when I get to Karaganda, he won't be able to take many people with him even if he wants to escape."

    Lexwen actually knows that as long as the First Armored Division is here and dragged into a mess, Lu Jin will resist to the end.  When I said that just now, I just felt that it was a pity that such a great contribution was taken away by the 3rd Mech Infantry Division.  So he saluted and promised: "Commander, don't worry, I know what's appropriate."

    "Don't worry, I'll give you half of the credit." Chu Nan smiled and patted him. Just as he was about to leave, the communications soldier brought a surprising piece of news with the individual radio on his back.  "Report, a call from the headquarters. It says that the leading troops of the 22nd Division have arrived in Pavlodar. Let us speed up."

    "Ye Weixun found Pavlodar?" Don't talk about Leshiwen.  Even Chu Nan and even the Almaty headquarters were full of disbelief. You must know that the second group only broke out of the encirclement this morning, and Kulik had mobilized troops to pursue and harass. How could it be possible to cross a 300-kilometer war zone in just seven hours?

    "Did he fly over?" Looking at the sky where snow started to fall, everyone was stunned

    ¡°First battalion goes to the airport!¡±

    "Three companies, the train station!"

    "Second Company, Municipal Building."

    ¡°Commandos, blow up radio stations and radio stations!¡±

    "Buzz buzz." In order to keep the engine from turning off, the motorcyclist kept turning the throttle.  Ye Weixun stood in the back seat, waving his hands and shouting loudly.  One after another, three-wheeled or two-wheeled motorcycles, crushing the blood of the Soviet troops in the north of the city, rushed quickly to all parts of Pavlodar.

    The swarm of motorcycles turned this small town of only 60,000 people upside down.

    There is the roar of the exhaust pipe everywhere. The hj32 general machine gun mounted on the three-wheeled motorcycle will directly sweep away rows of bullets whenever it sees anyone wearing a Soviet military uniform, whether it is a civilian or a wounded soldier.  "Tanks, be careful. Tanks ahead!" As soon as a team of three-wheeled and four-wheeled motorcycles turned out of the street and arrived at the train station, they saw two British Visk tanks imported by the Soviet Union in the early years parked on the roadside.

    When the two sides met, they were all stunned.  The motorcycle did not expect to encounter the tank, and the Soviet troops on the tank also did not expect that the enemy would drive straight into the city on an inconspicuous motorcycle.  Just like that, he was stunned.  Machine guns rang out.  The hj32 fired desperately at a speed of 900 rounds per minute. The hissing sound of gunfire made several other motorcycles wake up. Two of them suddenly turned the accelerator and rushed to the side. The infantryman in the back seat threw the grenade into the uncovered motorcycle.  In the tank.

    ¡°Let¡¯s go! Let¡¯s go!¡± the leading motorcycle yelled at the moment of turning.  Two booming explosions were heard from behind, and the Vesker light tank was blown to pieces.

    "Don't stop! Seize the commanding heights! What are you doing? Idiots! Throw away the motorcycle and climb up. Climb up and occupy the roof!"

    ¡°Blow open the door, Grenadier!¡±

    "Boom!"

    "Come on, rush in! Buzz buzz buzz."

    The two Veskers here were blown up without even knowing what was going on, and the motorcycle company attacking the city hall over there went directly to the door of the city hall.  Although the alert Soviet sentries resisted desperately, the 84mm recoilless rifles dismounted from the motorcycles pronounced their death sentence.  Two consecutive rounds of bombs shattered the door painted with red stars and sickles. A two-wheeled motorcycle accelerated up the steps and rushed directly into the city hall before the flames were extinguished.

    Within three minutes, the sickle flag on the upper floor of the city hall was torn down and the Chinese flag was hung.

    The battalion headquarters of the Soviet 613th Regiment in the south of the city was even more unlucky. More than 700 officers and soldiers who were having dinner picked up their lunch boxes when more than 70 motorcycles rushed into the station from all directions.  More than a dozen HJ32 machine guns, all submachine guns, and H37 assault rifles specially reinforced from the 5th Armored Division instantly flooded the barracks.

    As for the important targets of the city hospital and telegraph station, less than ten minutes after the city hall was occupied, they were besieged by an army of more than a hundred motorcycles.  More than 200 guards were killed, and more than 6,000 medical staff were killed.The soldiers and wounded soldiers were taken prisoners, and the radio stations were all blown up.

    Fast, it¡¯s too fast!  When the commander of the 219th Soviet Division stationed in Pavlodar heard the sound of motorcycles, he thought it was Omsk reinforcements arriving, and even called the military band to organize a welcome ceremony.  Unexpectedly, before the call was hung up, the sound of fierce shooting and the screams of his own soldiers came from outside.  Although the division guards and officers resisted to the death, facing the gathering of more than 200 motorcycles and more than 400 elite infantrymen, they could only hold on for less than half an hour before being destroyed.

    Completely stunned!  Although the 219th Division had received early warning and deployed a defense line in the south, everyone from the officers to the soldiers believed that there would be no ground war until at least tomorrow. They did not expect that the enemy would appear in front of them more than ten hours in advance.

    The Chinese flag was raised in the city hall, the 219th Division headquarters was attacked, the train station was occupied, the airport was occupied, the telegraph station was bombed, etc., everything was in chaos!  Without unified command and unable to even make telegrams or phone calls, the remaining Soviet troops were completely helpless and could only fight back blindly under the leadership of grassroots officers.  To make matters worse, they find themselves facing extremely fast motorcycles.  Moreover, these weird motorcycle soldiers have obviously been ordered to rush forward in a swarm if they can beat them. If they can't be defeated, they will retreat immediately. They will never entangle them. If they really must be blocked, they will simply blow up the motorcycles and use buildings to build a defense line.

    "Damn, how many motorcycles are there!" A battalion commander and hundreds of Soviet soldiers were trapped behind a power plant. He climbed to the top of the building and used a telescope to see an army of motorcycles sweeping through the streets like locusts.  , almost wanted to jump off the building.

    He knew that after learning that Zhukov had seen through the encirclement intention and ordered an entire infantry corps and three divisions from Omsk to go south, Ye Weixun was very anxious.  Because the Balkhash airborne has proven that in such a wide area.  In addition, Kulik also sent several divisions to pursue the second assault group in parallel.  In the end, counting the time, even if we arrive tomorrow, it will definitely turn into a tough city attack and defense battle.

    Although Pavlodar is not a fortress like Omsk, city assaults often take a lot of time. The Second Assault Group is not afraid of assaults, but the headquarters is!  Although Stalin strictly ordered to defend and Kulik issued several orders an hour to attack and defend, God knows what will happen next?  If they knew they were about to be surrounded, millions of troops would explode, it would be no joke.  Therefore, Ye Weixun discussed with Xu Zuyi, commander of the 5th Armored Division, and decided to assemble all 1,577 motorcycles in the second cluster, led by Ye Weixun personally, and all veterans were drawn from the 22nd Division and the 5th Armored Division respectively.  An elite assault group was formed, and then took a shortcut along the path along the Irtysh River for a sneak attack.

    In this way, the first all-motorcycle army in history, composed of 3,631 motorcycle soldiers and elite veterans, braved the north wind and a low temperature of minus ten degrees, and traveled at 50 kilometers per hour in the wilderness beside the Irtysh River.  The speed reached 300 kilometers.  In the end, more than 30 vehicles were damaged and 11 people fell into the Irtysh River to their death. They appeared in Pavlodar like lightning.  In order to take the enemy by surprise, Ye Weixun even spent an hour detouring back to the north where the defenses were worst before launching an attack.

    At this time, the second assault group was even a hundred kilometers away!

    "Tanks! Cannons! We found the cannons and tanks!"

    The elite veterans smashed open the 219th Division headquarters warehouse and excitedly dragged out a whole battalion of 42 brand-new T34 tanks and 16 122mm howitzers. After stuffing hundreds of rounds of artillery shells, they also plundered several boxes from the officers' dormitory.  Vodka finally walked northward in the eyes of the Soviet prisoners with ashen eyes.  In less than two hours, rumbles of artillery were heard from the north. More than a thousand elite veterans, whose eyes were reddened by the victory and had forgotten the severe cold, drank vodka, ate the soybean "tribute" from Kazakhstan, and drove the Soviet Union  The Japanese T34 tanks used Soviet artillery to blow to pieces the Soviet army columns that were moving south at night.

    At this time, the first batch of Y-6s, which rushed after learning the news, had already sent 122 soldiers and 16 pilots who knew Russian to Pavlodar Airport.  Why are there pilots among the first batch of support?  That was because the speed was too fast. When the motorcycle battalion rushed into the airport, the Soviet pilots were still holding a pre-war mobilization meeting, so more than 70 aircraft of various types were seized, including the 10 actual IL2s that the Wehrmacht had always wanted to obtain.  .

    After the pilots became familiar with it, they flew into the sky with il2 and i15 to support the north and block the Soviet troops from the south. As for the i16, which was the most popular, no one dared to fly. Static instability was not considered at all when designing this thing (to be completed)  Continued)
