Chapter 622: Missile Strike
The second more
The military airfields of Vagani, Marnieul and Kopinatli have been put on emergency alert and will be able to quickly cover their air cover operations in the event of war. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Gorbachev is still very confident in the army in his hands. After all, this is the air force he has accumulated over the years. A MiG-21 fighter group and a Su-27 fighter group, placed in front of other small European countries, are also powerful air forces.
However, the Black Sea Fleet is faster, and before the Georgian side can react, Georgian air bases have already entered the attack range of Kilo-class attack submarines, and at the same time there are Thug M-class missile boats that are ready to show their combat effectiveness in the Black Sea, and all air bases are under the aim of Kalibr missiles. After an order from Comrade Vladimir. The offensive begins.
Caliber missiles were launched from the sea, and this time the Black Sea Fleet fired twenty-three Caliber missiles at the Vagani, Marnieuli and Kopinatli military airfields, and anyone who was lucky enough to witness this spectacular sight would notice a sudden burst of fire on the surface of the Black Sea, and according to the calculated target, the cruise missiles flew towards the airfield hundreds of kilometers away.
When the first missile hit a MiG-21 fighter, the clarion call for this war was sounded. The neatly docked MiG-21 fighter was hit by a cruise missile before it could take off. At the same time, the runways of the airfields were also hit under heavy artillery fire, and the goal of the cruise missiles was to destroy the runways of the three airfields and to destroy as many fighters as possible to prevent enemy fighters from taking off.
By the time the explosions stopped, the entire military airfield was in shambles. Personnel on the ground extinguished the burning fighter jet and treated those seriously injured in the explosion. The cruise missile strikes of the Soviet army were almost silent, and they got rid of the previous brutal practice of washing the floor with Bear strategic bombers, but directly inflicted damage on the other side with the most accurate strikes.
After the first round of strikes, three airfields were badly damaged, runways were blown up and fighter jets were destroyed, and the rebels in Georgia were completely deprived of air support. After the decapitation operation was completed, it was time for the Soviet army to perform.
Gorbachev was woken up from his sleep in a daze, and when he saw the commanders-in-chief of Georgia Minashvili and Plekhanov standing in front of him, he knew that something bad must have happened.
"The Soviet Black Sea Fleet destroyed our military airfields, and now the Georgian ground forces have lost their air cover, and Moscow has declared war on us. ”
Gorbachev, after listening to what Minashvili said, knew that illusions about peace talks with Moscow had been shattered. So Gorbachev gave the order to enter a state of war for the first time.
"Now that the negotiations have failed, let's have a bloody revolution. Air force personnel stationed at the airports of Vagani, Marnieul and Kopinatli were ordered to repair the runways overnight and get them back into use as quickly as possible. Counting the loss of fighters, I need all fighters that are still able to fly, and immediately join the mission of air support. ”
However, Gorbachev still had some strategic vision, and he ordered Minashvili to immediately block the Roksky Tunnel, "The Roksky Tunnel is a key area for Soviet troops to enter Georgia, and we must occupy this tunnel and firmly control it in our hands." ”
Gorbachev has torn his face, although the South Ossetian government still declares its loyalty to the Soviets. But the rebels in Georgia have always liked to speak with their fists. The armored forces immediately pushed into South Ossetia, and although they met with small resistance, the troops stationed in South Ossetia retreated all the way in the face of the disparity, and finally stopped the Georgian troops who were still trying to continue advancing fifteen kilometers ahead of the Roksky tunnel.
Minashvili explained, "The battle for the Roksky tunnel is still going on, and it has advanced to Kazbek Hill at 6 o'clock tonight, so it is only a matter of time before the Locksky tunnel is taken." ”
When Gorbachev heard that the Roksky Tunnel had not yet been completely taken, he immediately became calm, and he said to Minashvili in a very stern tone, "We must take down the Roksky Tunnel, so that we will have the opportunity to delay the advance of the Soviet armored forces and gain valuable time for us to readjust our strategy." I don't care what method you use and what price you pay, you must strangle the throat of South Ossetia to the USSR at this time. ”
"Yes, President Gorbachev."
Minashvili did not dare to resist Gorbachev's orders and could only do as the other side did. In fact, with the military strength of the Georgian rebels, it is very difficult to take the Roksky tunnel.
The troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of South Ossetia, loyal to Moscow, and a part of the Georgian police, who refused to participate in the Georgian rebellion and fled, gathered in South Ossetia to respond to the threat from Georgia. This was an important passage for the Soviet troops, where the gathered forces had to form the last line of defense and wait for Moscow's assistance.
The sound of explosions in the distance covered the faces of the soldiers stationed in the tunnel. They had set up checkpoints on the road, and the chariots were aimed in the direction of the enemy's attack. This Zhar road was their last hope, and at this time the South Ossetian army, which was in disarray, did not yet know that the Moscow army had carried out an operation to forcibly restore order.
The enemy offensive began to slow down, and the remnants of the South Ossetian army were regrouping and accumulating forces from the rout for a counterattack. Although the Georgian rebels' armored forces were fierce at first, and it took almost no time to break up most of the resistance, as the war progressed, the Georgian rebels' lack of stamina gradually became apparent. Especially when they advanced to the Zar road, it was already the end of the strong bow.
The soldiers standing at the mouth of the tunnel clenched their Kalashnikov rifles in their hands, they had no way back. Even if a Georgian rebel T72 tank appeared at the end of the road, they would have to fight back with 7.62mm bullets. Even if the result is just a mayfly shaking the tree, the remaining soldiers must slow down the advance of the T72 tank, which is the duty of a soldier.
While everyone was in a hurry, the cacophony of chariots advancing could be heard in the tunnels, and the voices of people were boiling in the darkness.
The soldiers stationed there breathed a sigh of relief.
The armored forces of the USSR came. (To be continued.) )
