Chapter 777: Conquering Vladivostok
, Chapter 779 Conquering Vladivostok
In the early hours of September 2, as Meretskov had guessed, the aerial bombardment finally subsided, and the ground assault of the vanguard army was launched.
"Come to your position, those Huaxia people are going to rush up!" Everywhere there was the loud urging of the iron horns. Sensing that the bombardment overhead was gradually weakening until it was close to disappearing, even if they did not receive an order from above, they could guess that the Chinese army approaching Vladivostok was about to launch a ground attack.
Huddled in the cramped and gloomy underground fortifications, covered for two days of bombardment, every Russian soldier felt like he was holding his breath in his heart, eager to tear his enemy apart and burst into anger.
But when they had set up their positions and taken a few more breaths of the air, which was filled with the smell of blood and burnt paste, a dense scream sounded in the air again.
"Shelling!" The familiar parabolic screech reminded the Russians that the explosion was not only coming from high altitudes, but also from artillery on the ground.
The screams of exclamation everywhere were soon drowned out by more violent explosions. Only the severed arms and stumps were thrown into the air along with the scorching dust, making a futile free fall.
"I said a long time ago, don't get into position so quickly. Now it's fine, look outside! Do you know how many soldiers were sacrificed in one of your orders? Colonel-General Pulkaev, who was commanding at the front, shouted to the military commissar Yakovlev, "The Chinese are not those Japanese who are so poor that they charge with bayonets, nor are they the Chinese who used to be unable to even get together a gun. They now don't need a sneak attack, as long as there are enough shells, they can squeeze us to death with artillery fire. ”
During the two days of bombing, the iron horns had been encouraging the morale of the soldiers. When the ground war was about to begin, it was they who had already instigated the soldiers to come out of their bunkers, ready to spray their revenge anger on the Huaxia. But who knows, those soldiers who come out of the bunker will be greeted by an overwhelming barrage of shells.
Although there were not many artillery pieces that arrived in Vladivostok yesterday, the attack of more than 1,000 guns was enough for the Russians to be once again exposed to explosives
The bombardment continued until dawn, and the shelling gradually weakened for more than two hours.
The Russians who poked their heads out of the bunker only hesitated slightly, and then their faces changed dramatically. The ground was littered with rubble and dust, and the armored units of the vanguard were already rushing up behind the tail of the shells.
The two years of training of the vanguard army were enough to complete a large-scale artillery coordination.
The fact that tanks are not good at fighting in street battles does not mean that they are in a pile of ruins and are pinned down too much. Moreover, in this mission, they not only occupy, but also brought destruction.
With the drills in Lushun and so many cities before, the vanguard army was more skilled in siege warfare. As the heavy tanks approached, the armored vehicles and infantry behind the tanks also pressed on one after another.
To the surprise of the Russians, the tanks of the vanguard army did not charge quickly. Instead, step by step, he is cleaning up all the targets in his field of vision.
Vladivostok, defended by 500,000 soldiers and civilians, was not so easy to conquer. Meng Xiang does not need to pay a high price for good news, and the vanguard army does not need honor at the cost of soldiers' lives. It only takes a step-by-step release of one's strength to crush the city into a victory pie.
"They were so careful!" Shepchenko hated.
Many arrangements were made in Vladivostok against the tank units of the Vanguard, and even though many of them had been destroyed by bombs and shells, some of the underground arrangements were still in force. What's more, a large number of meat bullets have been arranged, which is enough to leave an unforgettable memory for the tanks in China.
But the vanguard army is marching step by step, and under the cover of armored vehicles and infantry, there are not many opportunities. Machine guns and submachine guns blocked the route of devotion of meat bullets.
"Then let them in more!" Meretskov said tiredly, "As long as we are mixed with them, their artillery superiority will inevitably be gone." ”
As the smoke of the shelling and bombs dissipated, the blue of the sky was finally revealed in the smoke and dust.
Although there was no bombing, the Russians were once again frightened by the behemoths suspended in the air.
"Area C5 was intercepted by the fire of the Soviet Russian brigade and needs support!"
"There are about 1,000 Russian troops in the direction of the E12 sector support!"
“……”
In the command room on the Wen Tianxiang, the radio signals were continuous.
Not long after, under the accurate fire of the support artillery, the Soviet Russian reinforcements in the E12 area, which had just been blown up, quickly swept over six Il-10 attack planes. They galloped away and quickly dealt with the troubles in C5 with their cannons.
After they dropped the bomb and flew away, a column of smoke and dust peculiar to a tall cabinet suddenly erupted in the distance.
Airships in the sky are not only responsible for communication and intelligence, they can turn into demons in the sky at any time, bringing about overwhelming destruction.
Even some of the snipers on the airship began to squander their large-caliber sniper rifle bullets with ease.
……
"Our air supremacy has been completely lost, and the whole sky is theirs!" Shepchenko sighed.
There are less than 200 of the more than 1,000 planes left, and even if half of the fighters hiding in the bunkers are not damaged, without runways and control towers, it is difficult to have a chance to take off. Moreover, there are not only airships and bombers overhead, but at least 200 fighters chasing any hunting target at any given moment.
Meretskov put down the telescope looking into the air in the bunker and snorted coldly: "We have lost the sky, and they can't imagine it." ”
……
Bursts of black smoke billowed up, thicker than the smoke from the tank engines below, and it wasn't long before such smoke rose everywhere in Vladivostok, quickly obscuring the entire sky.
"These smoke are caused by the burning of waste tires, wood, cloth, and even rubber shoes, belts and other leather products, as well as all kinds of garbage, and now the smoke has seriously interfered with our aerial detection and positioning." Zhao Yi said with a stern face.
Now that the two sides are in the hands of fire, artillery fire and air support all require relatively accurate coordinates, and it is no longer the previous rain of bullets. But a thick black smoke made everything inaccurate.
Meretskov knew that in the saturation bombing, this trick would not work, and he endured it in the ground contact battle between the two sides, and it did work.
"Without air and artillery support, we can win the battle! War can't rely too much on foreign objects! Wei Hanchao said disapprovingly.
In the Northeast for a few years, although the performance of Chapter 779, which maintained the guerrilla style, slowed down, the victory of the Chinese army was approaching as a large area of Vladivostok was completely cleared.
