    Orsk is the only important city at the eastern foot of the Ural Mountains. Since the annexation of Central Asia, it has become a major military town in Russia.

    This important city on the only Siberian railway line has become an important stronghold guarding the European part of Russia and Siberia.  Although the Russian army nominally has more than two million troops in Siberia, 400,000 of them are deployed in Orenburg and the Urals in Europe!  If Orsk can be captured, it will be able to cut off the more than 1.7 million Russian troops on the Siberian Plain from Europe in the rear in one fell swoop, creating an important opportunity for the Chinese army to annihilate the Russian army!  Therefore, under the order of Marshal Cai Yun, it was the 11th Group Army of the Chinese Army that attacked Orsk!

    Although the 11th Group Army of the Chinese Army is the latest group army to be established, it was formerly an army unit directly under the Chinese General Staff Headquarters, and most of its infantry divisions are elite units!  Moreover, compared with other group armies that only have six infantry divisions, the 11th Group Army has eight group armies, with nearly 40,000 more troops than other group armies.  Marshal Cai Yun handed over the task of attacking Orsk to the 11th Army in order to allow the 11th Army to completely block this place and cut off the Russian army's connection with Europe!  Therefore, after the 11th Army captures Orsk, it is likely to be attacked by Russian troops from Europe. The task is also very arduous!

    At 7 o'clock in the morning on April 30, after Marshal Cai Yun's attack order was issued, the artillery of the 11th Army and ten other infantry divisions assembled thousands of heavy artillery pieces with a caliber of 105 mm or more to attack the enemy troops entrenched in Orsk.  The Russian army launched a fierce attack!

    The bombardment of thousands of heavy artillery pieces was earth-shattering and astonishingly powerful.  The Russian army's position was completely covered by artillery shells!  General Zhou Shun, commander of the 11th Group Army, was very satisfied with the fierce fire of the Chinese artillery.  The Chinese Army's artillery construction has made the Chinese Army's firepower the world's top. The Russian army, which cannot even meet the requirements of rifles for all its troops and equipment, naturally cannot compare with the Chinese Army!

    The commander of the Russian army guarding Orsk is Lieutenant General Yakov. He has four armies under his command: the 5th Army, the 16th Army, the 17th Army and the 18th Army, with a total of 200,000 people!  Lieutenant General Yakov is now fifty years old and participated in the battle against the Austro-Hungarian Empire last year. At that time, they annihilated hundreds of thousands of Austrian troops and almost invaded the Austro-Hungarian Empire.  It is a pity that the German army's participation in the war restored the decline of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and caused heavy losses to the Russian army!  After China revealed its ambition to attack Russia, he was promoted from major general to general and served as the commander of the Russian Orsk Army Group, responsible for guarding this important town!

    Lieutenant General Yakov knows that the Chinese army's attack power is very powerful. If the army is sent to fight outside the city, it will probably be lost in vain!  Therefore, he established his main line of defense within the city.  After several years of construction, Augusk has completely become a militarized fortress, but it only has large-caliber fortress guns, otherwise it would be worthy of its name!  However, even so, Lieutenant General Yakov also believes that it will be very difficult for the Chinese Army to capture Orsk!  The Russian troops deployed in the fortifications in the city will definitely make this city a tomb for the Chinese!  The same is true even if the Chinese army has world-famous armored forces!

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!" dense artillery shells exploded in the city of Orsk, and houses were destroyed. Fortunately, before the war began, the hundreds of thousands of Russian residents living here had already retreated, otherwise those civilians would definitely suffer.  To serious losses!  Those yellow-skinned demons will never care about the lives of civilians. This was already very clear to the Russians more than ten years ago!  Therefore, despite their reluctance, the Russians left here in tears and hid in the countryside after the Russian army issued a warning that war was coming!  They just hope the Chinese shells don't destroy their houses.  However, this seems unlikely!  Under the fierce bombardment of Chinese artillery, the entire city seemed to be in danger of being reduced to rubble!

    "Fight! Fight! Let's see how many shells you can have!" Lieutenant General Yakov hid in the headquarters built ten meters underground, listening to the sound of shells fired by Chinese artillery exploding in the city.  He didn't care at all about this!  After years of construction, the Russian army has already made Orsk impregnable. Most of the people are hiding underground. Although the Chinese shelling is fierce, it is still somewhat impossible to cause fatal damage to these Russian troops.  !

    After half an hour of fierce bombardment, the fighter planes of the Air Force Wing responsible for supporting the 11th Group Army had already flown over Orsk!  At an altitude of two thousand meters, forty HB'Hongyan fighter jets opened the belly magazine, and twenty aerial bombs weighing 50 kilograms fell, accompanied by the whistling sound produced when the bombs fell.  Soon, the ground turned into a sea of ??flames, and the bombs dropped by a HB'Hongyan fighter jet could almost reduce half a block to rubble!  !

    "Ta-ta-ta!" The Russian anti-aircraft machine gun firedThey started to fight back, and red tracer bullets were shot into the sky, which could be seen clearly even in broad daylight.  However, these anti-aircraft machine guns pose almost no threat to the UB'Hongyan fighter jets that are hovering at an altitude of two thousand meters and dropping bombs!  The counterattack of the Russian air defense force actually triggered the counterattack of the Chinese Air Force's FB'Haidongqing, fighter jets and FHB'Falcon, dive bombers!  Especially the FH5' Falcon, a dive bomber. Every dive is almost accompanied by howls from hell. An aerial bomb weighing 560 kilograms is dropped, destroying buildings within tens of meters at night. Russia  The army's air defense positions were completely destroyed during the bombing!  The Chinese Air Force and artillery cooperated to launch a devastating blow to Orsk held by the Russian army!

    At 8 o'clock in the morning, after an hour of shelling and bombing, Orsk was in a mess. A large number of neighborhoods were reduced to ruins, and many houses were still burning with billowing smoke.  However, it is not known how many casualties the fierce shelling and bombing caused to the Russian army!  However, the Chinese army believes that if the Russian army can survive such fierce shelling and bombing, then they will really be transformed into cockroaches!

    At 8 o'clock in the morning, General Zhou Shun issued the order to attack. The 11th Armored Brigade of the 11th Group Army took the lead and launched an attack on Orsk!  The 5th Division and the 16th Division of the 11th Group Army followed the 11th Armored Brigade, preparing to attack the city of Orsk after the Armored Brigade broke through the Russian defense line!  In addition, Japanese mercenaries also dispatched three divisions to participate in this attack!  Because of the importance of capturing Orsk, Marshal Cai Yun specially assigned twenty divisions of Japanese mercenaries to the 11th Army, hoping to use these fierce Japanese to capture Orsk with minimal losses!  Anyway, no matter how many Japanese people die, they won¡¯t feel bad. These Japanese people happen to be the best candidates for cannon fodder!

    "Boom!" The motor sounds of more than two hundred tanks and armored vehicles converged together, as if thunder!  Let the Russian soldiers change their colors after hearing this!

    Lieutenant General Yakov did not deploy many troops outside Orsk, but only deployed an infantry division on the outskirts of the city!  Under the attack of the 11th Armored Brigade of the Chinese Army, the Russian infantry division almost collapsed at the first touch and retreated into the city in less than half an hour!

    "General, all the Russians have retreated into the city. It seems that they are preparing to fight with us in the streets!" Lieutenant General Jiang Qiao, commander of the 11th Group Army, said with some worry!

    "Hmph! In street fighting, the Russians are still no match for us! Order the armored brigade to attack westward, cut off the railway line first, then the 6th Division and the 35th Division attack the city of Orsk and wipe out the Russian troops in the city. In addition, let the Japanese  Send three more divisions in!" General Zhou Shun said without changing his expression!  Allowing the armored brigade, two infantry divisions, and three Japanese mercenary divisions to be stationed in the west of Orsk can cut off the Trans-Siberian Railway, prevent the Russian army from escaping westward, and prevent the Russian army from the west from reinforcing the Siberian Plain!  The Russian commander, Lieutenant General Yakov, reduced his troops to the city. Although it made it more difficult for the Chinese army to capture Orsk, it also allowed the Chinese army to cut off the Russian army's connection with the west with almost no effort!

    At 9 a.m., the Chinese Army¡¯s 11th Armored Brigade, two infantry divisions, and three Japanese mercenary divisions built defenses ten kilometers west of Orsk, cutting off the Trans-Siberian Railway.  At the same time, two infantry divisions and three Japanese mercenary divisions of the 11th Group Army also entered the city of Orsk and began a fierce battle with the Russian troops in the city to seize control of the city!

    Russian commander Lieutenant General Yakov seemed to realize the mistake he made after learning that the Chinese army was stationed in western Orsk!  However, at this time, he no longer cares so much. The Chinese army has launched a fierce attack on the city of Orsk. If it cannot withstand the attack of the Chinese army, Orsk will be occupied by the Chinese army, and the Russian army guarding it will  You can only imagine what the outcome will be!

    After the Russian commander Grand Duke Nicholas in Yekaterinburg learned about the battle that took place in Orsk, he was even more furious and cursed Yakov, this idiot!  The Trans-Siberian Railway has been cut off by the Chinese. If the millions of Russian troops in the Siberian Plain want to retreat, they may have to cross the Ural Mountains. If the war does not go smoothly, this will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to the Russian army!  Grand Duke Nicholas quickly ordered the Russian troops in Orenburg and the Urals to attack eastward, preparing to break the blockade of the Chinese army!
