Chapter 564: Storm the Fortress

The second more

By the time the supporting M60 tank company arrived on the scene, the fighting was already over, and the destroyed tanks were deployed in an area ten kilometers northeast of Coolion. Burning armor, exploding barrels, and Turkish tank units wiped out by the whole formation, www.biquge.info the pen. All show that there was a fierce battle fought here. The encircled Turkish tank company fought until the last M60 tank was eliminated, and no one survived.

In the face of Soviet armored forces, which believed in range and caliber, all tricks were useless.

The waves of air tore over the surrounding trees, and the scorched black earth emitted a scorching smell. These Turkish troops seemed to be fighting terrible demons from Hellfire, burning chariots with charred hands trying to escape the nightmare, and their indistinguishable faces facing the sky, trying to make a final effort and struggle.

"What the hell is going on here? Why was the Cypriot army able to wipe out the Turkish army in its entirety? "If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, the Leopard 2 driver would have had a hard time believing what was happening in front of him. What kind of terrible armored forces are these to wipe out all the elite they have deployed in Cyprus?

The company commander surveyed the terrain and generally judged the enemy's ambush method, "The enemy's angle of surprise attack was very tricky, and after detecting the ambush of this army, part of it went around the rear of the Turkish armored forces and tried to carry out an encirclement battle." But the Turkish army was attacked by rockets, and from the intercom at the beginning we can also hear the company crying for help mentioning the enemy helicopter. It was not surprising that the rhythm of this ambush army was directly disrupted, and in the end, in the case of encirclement in front and rear, the Turkish army was wiped out as a whole. ”

"Can the Cypriot army do this?" One of them asked weakly, not to mention the synchronization of air strikes, even if the infantry and tanks fought together, the Cypriot army might not be able to do it. With such a perfect coordination between the various arms, could it be that Greece dispatched elite troops?

"The army in Cyprus will definitely not be able to do it, but ......" The company commander hesitated, logically speaking, they should not have evacuated so quickly, this company has rushed to the ambush site almost as fast as possible from the first accident to now. However, they were still a step late, and the other party didn't even have time to clean up the battlefield, and left after the massacre.

"Could it be that their purpose is not to reinforce troops at all? Didn't even think about encircling the point to send reinforcements? It stands to reason that the number of armored units capable of conducting a counter-ambush war will definitely not be less than that of a company. ”

The more the company commander thought about it, the more unbelievable he felt, and when he saw the direction of the extension of the tracks, he suddenly came to his senses, and the gloom on his face became more and more obvious.

"I see, it's just an attempt to divert our attention." The company commander suddenly came to his senses, he turned his head to look in the direction of Culion, and said with a panicked voice, "From the beginning, the target was not us, but Fortress Coolion, they just wanted to divert our attention. ”

"Hurry up!" The company commander shouted, "Everyone return to Coolion, as soon as possible!" Their target is not us, it's Culion! ”

While Coolion was still in a state of slackness, the Buran rockets were already aimed at the Ottoman fortress, which the Turks were proud of. The reason why they did not worry about the army of the Cypriot government was that the other side did not have a war machine capable of breaking down the fortress. The Dow and Stinger missiles deployed were more than enough to deal with any invading Cypriot tanks.

So they did not expect at all that the Soviet Union would bring Tornado rockets, a weapon that would change the tide of the war. In an instant, this petty conflict elevated the level of real mechanized warfare. The appearance of rockets meant that the attacking armored forces were able to advance towards the target under the cover of a barrage, while the Mi-24 helicopters provided themselves with air fire cover.

The six Red Tornado rockets on the position have been aimed at Coolion, and the weapons covered by a large area of artillery fire do not have to worry about the accuracy of the problem, if the enemy can still resist after the first round of strikes, change the position and come to another round of artillery fire until the opponent loses the ability to counterattack.

Rockets were fired from the position, and the glittering flames formed a brilliant spot of light. This is the real Soviet red organ. The storm behind him fired rockets fiercely into the sky, and each rocket launched a dazzling flame in the tail, like fireworks soaring into the sky.

The Turkish troops in Coolion heard a shrill whistling, and when they looked up, they saw a meteor shower in the sky. Each rocket, carrying ammunition capable of toppling the entire fortress, quickly crashed in the direction of the Turkish "Armored Hell" camp.

"Take cover!" Someone began shouting to hide from the shelling. The rockets fell to the top of the church tower, and the sharp church bell tower was blown in two by the lazy waist, and the spire fell down, directly burying the pedestrians who had no time to dodge.

And the tanks of the Turkish army also suffered heavy losses, before they had time to dodge, they were directly hit by the rapidly falling rockets, and the metal jet shot through the M60 tank, directly turning him into a pile of burning scrap metal, and the enemy's fire coverage lasted less than a minute, and in the entire fortress, the M60 tanks of the Turkish army were destroyed by nearly two-thirds. As for those Turkish soldiers, those who were able to survive such a sudden attack were already the favor of real pigs.

Half of the proud Ottoman fortress was destroyed, and the Turkish-painstakingly built "Armored Hell" battalion was reduced to a third of its combat strength. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Turkish army in Cyprus.

But that's just the prelude, and the real highlight is yet to come.

A few seconds before the artillery fire ended, dozens of Soviet T72 tanks began to charge, and their goal was to take advantage of the Turkish army's recovery to occupy the entire fortress and annihilate the opposing 39th Division tank battalion in one go. The decapitation operation was successfully completed.

The army-green tanks were emblazoned with a shining red star, and under the cover of infantry and Mi-24 helicopters, the Soviet Red Army launched its last victorious charge. There were no political commissars who raised their arms and shouted, and there were no war correspondents who deliberately exaggerated the atmosphere, just a group of former Soviet soldiers who carried out the last order for the sake of faith and loyalty.

The Soviets never retreat, move forward!

"Ulla!"

Soviet Red Army, armed with Kalashnikov rifles, marched through the last meadow in front of the fortress. And ahead is the end point of this battle, the Ottoman fortress.

The grizzled Turks crawled out of the rubble, and before they could recover their senses, they were horrified to see a T72 armored unit rushing in the direction of the fortress. They also have Tunguska behind them cover, just to prevent Turkish helicopter gunships from causing damage and damage to themselves. The red star on the tank and the military uniform of the opposing side made it immediately obvious to the Turks who was attacking, and in fact they should have long thought about which country could carry out such a brutal offensive other than the Soviet Union.

This was the first time that the Turks faced the Russians after the end of the 11th Russo-Turkish War.

The Third Rome, which once crushed the entire Ottoman Empire.

The Red Soviets, which kept the power of Turkey from expanding eastward.

The biggest obstacle to the rise of the Turks.

Steel Monster.

And the most terrible enemies.

This was the first time that the Turkish troops in Cyprus felt such a strong sense of fear, and they were horrified to find that Turkey did not have the slightest ability to fight back in the face of Soviet armored forces. And the once brilliant record in front of the Soviet Red Army is not worth mentioning at all.

The T72 tank smashed the walls of the "fortress" like a steel monster breaking through the door, crushing the masonry and wooden blocks into pieces with tracks, and the goal of the T72 tank unit was very direct, which was to destroy the remaining M60 tanks in the Turkish armored battalion. And before the Turkish army even climbed into the tank, it was directly blown into scrap metal by a T72 shell.

In front of the Soviet armored forces, no one dared to call themselves armored hell.

If there is, just crush them! (To be continued.) )
