    The winding and wide Syr Darya River gradually freezes after experiencing the rush of spring and summer. Viewed from a high altitude, it looks like a white ribbon.  The Syr Darya River basin, also known as the Transoxiana region, is one of the most fertile regions in Central Asia.  Except for the small and fat Andiyan, which belongs to China, the cotton output of other places accounts for 60% of the Soviet Union, grain accounts for 27%, meat accounts for 35%, and leather and wool account for 30%.  twenty.  It is no exaggeration to say that without this place, the Soviets in Europe may not even be able to guarantee their warm cotton clothes.

    In order to make the Kazakhs "obedient", Stalin brought the Great Purge into the grasslands.  In just a few years, tens of thousands of Kazakh elites were exiled and shot, turning the Kazakhs into a "headless bunch."  Later, collective farms were forced to be implemented despite opposition, so that herdsmen no longer had the only wealth of their existence, cattle and sheep.

    The planned system that ignores the unique economic model of the steppe has made the Kazakh people miserable. In order to ensure that the light of the great leader Stalin can shine in Central Asia, and to counter China's national defense requirements, Moscow has been building a lot of construction here since the first Five-Year Plan.  .  The railway from Tashkent to Orenburg was a project proposed in the first five-year plan and started in the second five-year plan. Unfortunately, adjustments had to be made due to the defection incident, which led to delays. Therefore, it is currently only built to the Aral Sea.  Mailibash.

    In order to mislead the enemy, 15 Y-3s made a circle over the Aral Sea, and then quickly headed east along the railway line.  The Yun-3, which looks exactly like the JU52, is the earliest main transport aircraft of the National Defense Force. With the increasing demand for long-range operations of the Air Force, it has gradually become a second-tier aircraft due to its short range. At least 350 of them have been sold to domestic airlines and some foreign customers.  .

    Because the Soviet Union also bought a lot of JU52 when it purchased fighter jets from Germany last time, so after deciphering the telegram from Moscow, Yang Qiu thought of using its appearance to confuse the enemy.  But this is not simple, because ju52 uses corrugated skin, while Yunsan uses smooth skin.  There was also a big difference in appearance, so all 15 aircraft were modified.  Technicians used striped wallpaper on the surface to simulate a unique corrugated skin shape, and painted some unique symbols and national flags of the Soviet Union. Finally, they invited air force pilots who had encountered the Soviet JU52 to identify it and make sure that unless it was observed closely,  Otherwise, you will not be able to distinguish between true and false before you start taking action.

    Zong Lei walked into the cockpit: "How long will it take?"

    "About half an hour." Captain Lei Tianchun pointed to the vast white salt marsh that appeared under the wing and told the co-pilot: "Let the translator come over. We have arrived at the Ares Salt Marsh and are ready to contact the airport."

    Before the co-pilot could get up, an impatient Zong Lei had already pulled the translator over.  soon.  The radio was connected to Kyzylorda Airport.  The translator was also very nervous and carefully responded to the inquiries on the ground.  Since Moscow had previously sent a telegram to send planes to pick up important personnel, the airport was not too suspicious. It only asked a few more questions about the number of planes, and finally warned to be careful of enemy planes.  In order to be realistic, the translator who pretended to be a Moscow internal affairs force unceremoniously asked the airport to prepare some delicious food and asked the Soviet army to clear the runway so as not to delay the return of the fleet.

    Zong Lei was also stunned when he heard that the translator sent by the Military Intelligence Bureau actually gave direct orders to the Soviet army.  I am afraid that going too far is not enough.  You know, although the Falcon Brigade conducted intensive training for the environment of Kyzylorda Airport before departure, he could not guarantee 100% success. After all, there were more than 60 aircraft stationed there.

    Fortunately, the ground did not continue to ask questions.  It seems that the internal affairs force's golden name can still scare many people.

    As soon as the communication here was interrupted, another radio station received the signal from the ground commando. Zhuo Fan encountered a Soviet cavalry company twenty kilometers north of Kyzylorda, and his whereabouts had been exposed.

    "Sir. The air commando will land in 25 minutes."

    "Then speed up!"

    "Except for the machine guns of the wheeled armored battalion, everyone else should focus on the road and not fire. The first and second battalions dispersed, and the platoons followed the cavalry and fired. They don't have radios!" Standing on the half-track command vehicle, Zhuo Fan held a telescope  Calmly direct the battle.  For convenience, he reorganized the temporary designation for the commando before departure. The four wheeled armored battalions were the 1st to 4th battalions, the half-tracked battalions were the 5th battalion, the 6th and 7th battalions were infantry, and the tank company served as a separate assault force.

    Kyzylorda is surrounded by great plains, and the highest altitude is only 288 meters. Therefore, after Zhuo Fan accepted the mission, he deliberately chose the faster 6*6 wheeled Hound armored vehicle and Type 25 tank, preparing to rush forward and retreat quickly.  Retreat immediately after arriving.  Although the operation has now turned into a blockade, the Hound armored vehicle has a clear advantage in the pursuit.

    Under the pursuit and fire of the HJ32 general-purpose machine gun and the 12.7mm Venom Fang heavy machine gun, cavalrymen continued to roll off their horses.  If it were a tank, they would still have hope of escaping with their agility and speed, but facing highway speeds of up to 75 kilometers per hour, and the wild plains can ensure 45 kilometers of hounds, it would be no different from massacre.  The worst?, the Soviet Union had serious industrial shortcomings and lacked radio, so even if the cavalry company was attacked, there was no way to notify the rear.

    After chasing for about ten minutes, two patrolling i15s discovered the fighting here, roared and dropped bombs on the commandos.  The 50-kilogram small bomb fell in the middle of the assault group, and the flying mud debris hit the steel plate with a clanking sound.  "Anti-aircraft machine guns drive away aircraft. The remaining battalions attack with armored companies as arrows. Artillery batteries! I need to see the artillery shells fired within ten minutes!"

    The dense line of fire that jumped up from the ground forced i15, who couldn't find a chance, to go back and report the news first.

    After the 14 assault half-track vehicles came to a stop, the artillerymen quickly opened the rear compartment, put down the station hoe, and raised the 105 mm cannon across the front of the vehicle.  After allocating resources to the sea and air, the pace of upgrading ground weapons of the National Defense Forces has been very slow.  For example, the 105mm cannon on the half-track vehicle is actually the Warhammer 14 Type B produced in the European War by imitating the Japanese Type 92 long-range field cannon.  45 times the caliber, the weight of the gun is 3 tons excluding the wheel frame.  Although it is an old artillery piece, it is still not outdated due to its sufficient advance, muzzle velocity of 765 meters per second and range of up to 18,000 meters, so it is still the main cannon of the National Defense Forces.

    The artillery here is racing against time, and Kyzylorda is also tense over there.  The fleet of aircraft sent by Moscow made high-level Kazakh figures such as Galachukin and Skvortsov breathe a sigh of relief. Although Moscow has not made public the news of the fiasco in East Kazakhstan, it cannot hide it from them.

    You know, they currently have less than two regiments of infantry and one company of Wesk tanks.  There are also dozens of old i15 and i16 fighter jets, not even a few cannons.  As for the Kazakh Cavalry Division, there has been a lot of internal unrest recently. Although several officers have been dismissed in succession, the news that Yang Qiu wanted Kazakhstan and Central Asian countries to be independent in his declaration of war deeply stimulated these Kazakh warriors, so no one can guarantee  Will there be a collective rebellion after being sent out?  Skvortsov even ordered the cavalry division to be stationed on the south bank of the Syr Darya River, so that even if something happened, it would take an hour for the cavalry division to cross the river.  But these are not enough to ensure the security of the Kazakh capital, and as a leader stationed in a union republic, he cannot withdraw first without Moscow's order.  Otherwise, he would be beaten to death by Beria's internal affairs troops for fleeing the battlefield.  Fortunately, after waiting for more than half a month, the plane finally arrived.

    After learning that hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles were found in the north of the city, Skovaltsov immediately ordered two infantry regiments to attack them. Then he asked the internal affairs troops to destroy the documents, and he took more than 300 senior Kazakh leaders and their families to the airport.  Prepare to retreat.

    Just as they were taking Kazakh executives to the airport, Lei Tianchun had already driven Yunsan into the landing channel.  Although there was loud gunfire in the north of the city, in order to make room for the "Ministry of Internal Affairs" fleet to land, the Soviet pilots could only sit in the engine cabin and wait anxiously.

    Rybakov was also sitting in the cabin of his i16, looking at the "JU52" landing in front of him in a dense formation.  I always feel like something is abnormal.  As one of the few pilots who escaped from Karaganda before the Kazakh encirclement was formed, his experience of escaping from enemy gunfire several times made him very alert.

    What is wrong?

    Rybakov habitually placed his finger on the trigger of the operating lever, feeling increasingly uneasy.  But no matter how he looks at it.  There is nothing unusual about these planes.  Suddenly, the two "JU52" that were too close to each other shook violently, and the wind speed interference during landing almost caused the two planes to collide. Fortunately, the pilots responded quickly.  Each deflected to the left and right to avoid the collision, and the wheels landed safely on the compacted mud runway.

    "The reaction is so fast." Thrilling scene and reaction speed.  Let the Soviet pilots cheer loudly.  Rybakov was about to praise, but something suddenly flashed in his mind!  Formation, yes!  It's a formation!  Transport planes rarely use dense formations when landing, because the operation of these big guys is not as flexible as fighter jets, not to mention that transport planes all land in safe areas, so there is no need to use this formation!  And the scene just now clearly tells everyone that the pilots flying the "JU52" are very skilled.  With such technology, why not fly a fighter jet to fight the enemy, but hide behind and drive a transport plane?

    "Send someone to check."

    Without seeing the people inside, Rybakov did not dare to fire easily, so he immediately stood up and shouted to prepare for the soldiers to go up and check.  But just as he stood up, the side windows and improved large hatches of more than a dozen "JU52" suddenly opened, and 12.7mm heavy machine guns poked out from inside.

    Seeing the machine gun, Rybakov broke out in a cold sweat and quickly sat down to pull the trigger.  Just as his finger touched the trigger, the aggressive sound of strafing was already heard from the "ju52".

    The thick, flat metal bullet chain supplied bullets to the heavy machine gun at a rate of 500 rounds per minute. A metal storm composed of more than a dozen heavy machine guns swept across the tarmac like a heavy rain.  ?Before the ten Soviet fighter jets waiting to take off could understand, they were riddled with semi-armor-piercing incendiary bombs and burst into flames.

    When the machine gunner opened fire, the large hatch on the other side of the fuselage also opened quickly. The 18 commandos rushed out of the cabin as quickly as possible and rushed toward the intended target.  "Hurry up! Keep firing with machine guns!" Zong Lei shouted and urged his comrades to get off the plane. When the last soldier jumped out of the cabin, he immediately led everyone towards the dormitory.

    "Bastard, bastard!" At the same time, Rybakov roared and pulled the trigger.  The two 7.62mm machine guns on the nose of the aircraft aimed at the nearest "JU52" and fired fiercely.  The dense bullets pierced through the middle of the fuselage like a cutting machine, and several commandos and machine gunners who had not yet had time to get off the plane were beaten to a bloody pulp.

    "Boom!" The violent strafing finally turned the Yun-3 into a ball of fire. The violent explosion not only broke the fuselage into three pieces, but also affected the Yun-3 next to it.  Fortunately, the commandos on the Y-3 aircraft had already left, and only one pilot was stabbed and killed by debris that penetrated the cockpit.

    Just as Rybakov quickly adjusted the nose of the aircraft to align with the next Yun-3, a string of fire points suddenly fell from the sky and swept across the tail boom of his aircraft, completely interrupting the aircraft.  After he rolled and climbed out of the cabin, he discovered that the two "JU52" that had not landed in the end were leaning sideways on the fuselage, constantly circling around the apron, and at the same time, two lines of fire and a larger gun muzzle were aimed at it.  The airport kept firing.

    "Boom, boom, boom." On the plane, a 40mm automatic grenade launcher was aimed at Rybakov, spraying anger!  In order to strengthen the firepower of the commandos, the Air Force specially converted two of them into air fire support aircraft, each equipped with two 12.7 mm heavy machine guns and a 40 mm automatic grenade launcher that had just been finalized.  Under continuous fire from an automatic grenade launcher similar to the Mk18, Rybakov suddenly felt like he was in a rain of grenades. When the gunner shifted his target to the anti-aircraft position, no upright creatures could be seen in the area covered by grenades.

    The 40mm grenade is a typical thin-skinned grenade with a large filling. As long as one hit is enough to kill all the soldiers in a gun emplacement.  Therefore, the two fire support aircraft destroyed the anti-aircraft artillery positions at the airport without much effort.  With strong support from the air, the commando attack was even smoother.

    "Attack! Attack!"

    The Falcon Commandos, who were trying to avenge their last mistake, rushed through as planned, and Zong Lei was always at the front.  The all-purpose H37 automatic rifle is also even more powerful. Often the Soviet soldiers will be suppressed by strings of bullets as soon as they poke their heads out.

    The rapid firepower and offensive made the Soviet army unprepared.  By the time a group of commandos grabbed two 37mm cannons on the roof and aimed them at the airport, the Soviet army was completely defeated.

    The two fire support aircraft saw that the commandos basically controlled the airport, and even protected a team of commandos who had grabbed the truck early, and stopped the Kazakh-led convoy that was about to flee when the situation was bad. The machine gun and grenade fire caused heavy casualties to the convoy.  It took almost no effort for the commandos to uncover Galachukin, Skvortsov and others who had lost their fighting spirit and looked pale.  After taking out the photos and identifying them one by one, they were put back into the truck.

    Half an hour later, six Yunsan aircraft took more than a hundred important prisoners tied into rice dumplings and flew towards Balkhash under the escort of Leiden who came to meet them.  After completing the mission, Zong Lei immediately led the commando team back to the rear of the Soviet army in the north of the city.  At the same time, the Kazakh Cavalry Division stationed on the south bank of the Syr Darya River also launched an uprising instigated by the Military Intelligence Bureau. More than 100 non-Kazakh officers in the division were killed, and they were officially reorganized into the Kazakh Independent First Cavalry Division.  Accept the leadership of the Central Asian Theater Command of the National Defense Forces (To be continued)
