October 21, 1932, the holy city of Mecca.

"Hurry up, the infidel shelling is over, pick up your weapons and prepare for battle." The commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Division of the Caliphate Guards had just experienced what he considered to be the most terrible shelling in the history of the whole world - it was a hellish hour. At least 1,000 Soviet artillery pieces and mortars rained shells on the outer positions of the Caliphate Army in the east of Mecca, countless shells burst through the air with a piercing whistling sound, as if they were death from hell, and the power of the shell explosion was simply earth-shattering, and from time to time the shells fell into the trenches, exploded with a bang, and then brought up pieces of flesh and dust. The most terrible thing is not the death caused by the shells, but the torment of lying in the trenches and being bombarded. Death can come at any moment, and in such a dense artillery bombardment, many shells will always fall into the trenches, blowing up piles of caliphate fighters into meat sauce. And time flies so slowly, 60 minutes of shelling seems to these bombed holy warriors to be even longer than 60 years! Just when Magubaili thought that such shelling would continue forever, until the end of the world, the Soviet bombardment stopped abruptly, followed by the shouting and scolding of the regiment commander Ma Zhongying.

"Magubairi, you coward, why are you still lying in the trench shivering! Hurry up and organize your people to get ready for battle! Then the big scalp shoe kicked up on Magubairi's ass.

"Got it, Camp Commander, Magubairi won't let you down." Covering his buttocks, Magubairi picked up his Min-13 submachine gun and got up on his stomach, then began to shout and kick until all the soldiers under him who could still move were in combat positions. Driven by him, soldiers wearing steel helmets with large German ears stood on the steps of the side walls of the trenches. In order to protect the soldiers as much as possible, the trenches outside Mecca were dug very deep. The two walls are also reinforced with wooden bars, and ordinary people can't reach the edge even if they stand up straight, so they can only stand on the empty ammunition box to poke their heads out for people to shoot!

"Bang bang! Quack quack ......"

Gunfire began one after another, and the shelling was followed by the usual infantry attack, a truth that even the black Mismling recruits who had just come from Africa to join the jihad knew this. Speaking of these "mujahideen". There were all sorts of things, including whites from Asia Minor and Albania, blacks from Sudan, Asan from India, and even diminutive natives from the Dutch East Indies, and of course yellow-skinned and black-haired muslins from China. Most of the officers of the Caliphate. All of them were appointed by the Chinese M Slin, among whom the middle and senior officers were almost monopolized by the Ma surnamed M Slin in Hezhou, Gansu. Magubaili and his head Sima Zhongying are both sons of the Ma family in Hezhou, and Ma Zhongying is also the nephew of Ma Qi, the commander-in-chief of the Caliphate. This strict cronyism naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of most non-Chinese Minslin, but 100,000 Chinese expeditionary troops supported this rest Mslin in the port of Jeddah. Those disgruntled jihadists can only swallow their anger, who let the caliphate be supported by the Chinese? However, these people did not dare to oppose the Chinese and the caliphate on the surface, but secretly held high the banner of Mslin's holy city Mslin to defend, and did not allow the Chinese expeditionary force to "share" the honor of defending the holy city.

"Reload! Get ready for battle! ”

Magubaili can't control the intrigue between the upper echelons, all he thinks about is how to lead his "miscellaneous army", if there is a choice, he would rather use all the Hezhou soldiers. There is no need for this Xiao Xiangguli eccentric "M Sling Brothers". These fools have been following them for months, not even learning a few words of simple Chinese, only half of them have learned to aim and shoot correctly, and less than a quarter can fight bayonets, but these guys are allowed to use machetes or scimitars they bring to fight hand-to-hand. As for anti-tank grenade launchers, there are even fewer people who will use them correctly, but there are a lot of crazy people who are willing to carry bombs on their backs and die with the Soviets.

It was now past three o'clock in the morning, and under the night sky, the flares shone with a pale yellow light, dyeing the earth with a strange color. Illuminates the surrounding terrain. In front of the hill was a relatively open sandy area, in which an anti-tank trench was dug 3 meters wide and 2 meters deep, and there was a minefield in front of it, but it was devastated by Soviet artillery fire. There were only countless craters in the depths of the craters, and it appeared that most of the anti-tank mines had been blown up. As the enemy's attacking forces approached, countless figures shook on the potholed sand, and you could see something huge in size and looking very lethal - Soviet tanks!

Thundered......

Artillery fire was opened in the anti-tank stronghold on the defenders' positions, I don't know if it was a 45mm anti-tank gun or a more old-fashioned 37mm anti-tank gun? In short, it could not be a 75mm anti-tank gun. Magubaili said in his heart that the pagan prime minister of Nanking was reluctant to give such good weapons to the caliph's army, otherwise Riyadh and Medina would not have been lost so quickly.

Sure enough, after a roar of cannonballs, those big black shadows were still moving forward slowly, even the moment they were hit by the cannonballs, they only stopped a little, and rumbled forward again.

"O Allah, please descend and destroy the tanks of the infidels!"

Magubari prayed in his heart, but did not see Allah respond, and it seemed that he could only rely on his jihadists, who were not afraid of death, to block the opposing tanks with anti-tank grenade launchers, grenades, explosive packs and Molotov cocktails.

This time, although it was the first wave of the offensive, the Soviet army still invested a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, the most conspicuous of which was, of course, the "ace tank" T-28 of the Red Empire. These tanks, which were approved by the Chinese Expeditionary Force as useless, showed their might in front of the positions of the caliphate, and the 45mm and 37mm anti-tank guns, no matter how hard they tried, could not stop them from approaching step by step, and with them, there was also the Soviet infantry like a yellow tide, and the fanatical Ulla sounded, even overshadowing the roar of guns and tank motors.

This is probably the last thing Magubaili wants to see, right?

"Dada...... "Without waiting for Magubaili to give the order, the sound ......of machine guns rang out, first one machine gun fired, then the second, then the third, and finally all the machine guns and rifles began to fire!

"Hell. The enemy has not yet entered the effective firing range! Magubairi cursed loudly, but few people could understand his words, and even if they did, no one would pay attention. Although these mujahideen don't take their lives very seriously, that doesn't mean they're good soldiers. They did not know how to obey orders, and they could still listen to the words of the imam, but they often ignored the orders of his officer. Moreover, they have not undergone rigorous training, and they have completely panicked when the Soviets' artillery bombards, and now they just want to block the other side as far as possible.

But the reality is cruel, and several T-28 tanks, which the Chinese Expeditionary Force caricature as garbage, have already rushed through a section of anti-tank trench that has been destroyed by artillery fire. Rushing to the first trench, they began to use their 76.2mm guns to point out the fire of the exposed targets.

"Allah is great!" Now it was the turn of the deadly Mujahideen, who were carrying the "iron fist" and the infantry of the Caliphate Army covering them, braving the hail of bullets from the Soviets to launch an almost suicidal charge.

The Soviet tanks did not charge alone, and the Soviet infantry accompanying them never took the Muslin Mujahideen in their eyes and dared to counterattack when they saw the other side. Without hesitation, Mosin picked up the bayonet. The Nagant rifle met him. And Lao Maozi's level of stabbing is probably the best in the world, not to mention that these m slings who can only play with knives can't bear it, it's a little Japan that regards the white soldier assault as a housekeeper in another time and space, and it's not the opponent of these Russian bears - the horses are too big, where can the Japanese little slinger resist? Fighting a bayonet is always a lot of effort, right?

Magubairi saw his men fall one by one, not by the Russians with bayonets. is killed by machine guns, rifles and submachine guns, in short, all the deaths are very ugly, I wonder if the virgins in the sky will like it? As for those Soviet T-28 tanks, with the exception of a few with broken tracks, most of them were unharmed. It looks like the positions that you are holding on to will soon be lost!

"Pounds...... Rumble! ”

The sound of metal crashing and the loud explosion rang out one after another, and a T-28 tank, which was still showing off its might, had turned into a raging fire! It was not the work of Iron Fist, and Magubairi did not recall any holy warriors who came within 60 meters of this tank. Suddenly, the same sound sounded one after another, and the T-28s in front of the position were hit one after another and caught fire. This is...... 75mm anti-tank gun is firing! Magubairi suddenly had a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe. Seeing that the remaining Soviet tanks in front of him began to reverse and retreat, the Soviet infantry also began to retreat, hurriedly yelled, and jumped out of the trench with his submachine gun, his motley army subordinates. Seeing this scene, they also shouted slogans praising Allah in their respective languages and rushed towards the retreating Soviet troops......

"Damn! It's a 75mm anti-tank gun! ”

Pavlov, who was commanding in the back, saw his tanks turn into fireballs, and he hated it to the fullest: "Order the artillery, fire and suppress!" Blast them all into parts! ”

"Boom, boom!"

The 76.2mm field artillery and 120mm heavy mortars deployed in the front line of the Soviet Army had already opened fire, and the Soviet Red Army has always been a large artillery doctrine, not only the group army and divisions are equipped with a large number of artillery, but also a 76.2mm field artillery company and a 120mm heavy mortar company in each infantry regiment. Because it was attached to the regiment, this Syrian artillery was placed almost at the forefront and was the nemesis of the enemy's anti-tank gun and machine-gun positions. The 75mm anti-tank gun that had just opened fire had already exposed its target, attracting countless field artillery and mortar shells, and it was immediately dumbed down and turned into a pile of parts!

Seeing that the reactionary 75mm anti-tank guns and the even more reactionary caliphate artillery were reduced to pieces, the GCIST fighters, who had retreated halfway, turned around and shouted "Ula! Ulla! The slogan began to charge, and the caliphate holy warrior who had just taken advantage of the victory to pursue was not to be outdone, and went to fight desperately with a roar.

On the one hand, there is the Red Army, which devotes its entire life and all its energy to the cause of human liberation, and on the other hand, there are terrorists who are ready to sacrifice more than 100 pounds to be used as a human bullet in exchange for a pass to heaven. On the one hand, shouting the slogan "Long live Trotsky" and poking people with bayonets, on the other hand, shouting "Allah is great", he pulled off the explosives bags and grenades on his body, and the opponent died together!

Although they are all about the same ruthless people, they still seem to be a little more powerful than GC fighters. People have the truth of the universe, uh, there should be T-28 and T-26 tanks! This is the battlefield, the Soviets have tanks, and the Messlin does not even have an armored vehicle. So truth was on the side of the USSR, and justice was on the side of the USSR.

The Soviet Red Army, which possessed truth and justice, quickly broke through the first line of defense of the caliphate's army, and Pavlov immediately ordered more troops to enter Mecca in one go, to demolish the caliphate's mosque earlier, and preferably to dig up the ancestral grave of the reactionary Hussein! and then lead the Arab working people, who have been exploited by the Hashemite family for generations, to rise up in rebellion......

But Pavlov's good mood did not last long. Someone shouted in his ear: "Shelling! As soon as the shouts of shelling ......" began, a sharp and piercing whistling sound broke through the air. The explosion that followed began to violently hammer the ground, not behind the Soviet front, where Pavlov was, of course, but on the front line where the two armies were fighting! The powerful shock wave formed a furious wave of air, and the high-speed spinning shrapnel seemed to sweep through the wrath of Allah, killing every living person in its reach. Even if he is the most loyal mujahideen! However, not every shell that landed on the ground made a loud noise, about 30 shells just made a muffled sound, and then yellow smoke came out, which was a gas bomb!

"Indiscriminate shelling, also, and poison gas bombs!"

Seeing this scene, Pavlov trembled with anger, the caliph was already reactionary to the point of outrageousness! And not only to cover the soldiers of both sides who were fighting with artillery fire. Even gas bombs were used! Your own infantry didn't charge with gas masks! In just such a round, the 2 or 3 thousand Red Army infantry who accompanied the tank charge became corpses lying on the ground! The two dozen tanks that lost the cover of the infantry suddenly became the target of the death squads of the Caliphate, and I don't know how many mujahideen wearing gas masks did not wait for the poisonous fog of mustard gas to dissipate and began to charge! Anyway, they are determined to go to heaven, and they are not afraid of being contaminated with mustard gas. The tanks on the battlefield saw that something was wrong and started reversing one after another, but unfortunately a few of them were still a little slower to react, and they were destroyed by the "iron fist" and suicide bombers after a while.

"A bunch of reactionary madmen! How can there be such a madman in the world who fights a war! A Red Army political cadre cursed indignantly, and his words also went to Pavlov's heart. These muslins are really crazy...... I'm fighting a madman! Not only Pavlov, but all the Red officers and soldiers who witnessed this scene had the same idea, and the already high morale suddenly fell.

"Prepare for the second round of attacks! This time, first bombard with a cannon! The positions of the Caliphate must be razed to the ground! Pavlov roared. Be sure to hit the city of Mecca today! I'd like to see if their Allah is working or if our GCISM is right! ”

"But. Comrade Pavlov, we don't have many shells. The deep voice of Kulik, who was in charge of commanding the artillery, sounded in Pavlov's ears: "There is only one base number of shells left in each cannon, and it is impossible to raze the enemy's positions."

There is only one base number of shells left? How is this possible? Even if the Red Army does not have tanks and planes, how can it not even have enough shells? The Soviet Union spent almost 10 years preparing for war, and it is said that it had 500 million rounds of artillery shells in reserve. Enough for every Chinese to take one shot, how can there be no shells? How many days has the war begun? Have all 500 million shells been exhausted?

"There seems to be something wrong with our logistical line!" Kulik explained with a sad face: "There were some problems in the attack on Medina and Riyadh, and now it is even more strict, and this week we have only received a supply of ammunition for the planned 20. The comrades in charge of logistics explained that they would be bombed by the Chinese and British air forces during the day, and at night they would be attacked by the reactionary tribes in the desert, and the losses would be very large! In addition, the requisitioned Persian and Iraqi people often fled, killing horses and camels, destroying carriages, and causing us great trouble...... Now there is not only a shortage of shells, but also the supply of fuel for tanks and rations for soldiers. ”

Of course, Pavlov knew about these things, and Aprasink, who was in charge of logistics, had reported to him this morning about the rampant guerrilla activities and the extremely stressful logistics and transportation, but he did not expect that the situation would be so severe that it would affect the troops' attack on Mecca.

"Report these to Comrade Ubolevich and ask the Front to intensify the fight against the reactionary ministerial leaders!" Pavlov glanced at the position of the caliphate army in front of him again, gritted his teeth, and said: "The offensive will continue, the artillery will first hit a quarter of the base number of shells, and at the same time let the infantry put on gas masks and charge, and the tanks should not rush too far forward, just get in front of the anti-tank trench, and then use tank guns to cover the infantry charge ......"
