Timoshenko's face was very ugly as he watched the Chinese planes in the sky that had dropped bombs returning one after another. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info their attack this time is really full of twists and turns. Before the army could really charge, they lost all their aircraft, and even the artillery suffered heavy losses.

"Can't wait any longer, order the troops at the front to attack. Waiting any longer will only make us more passive. Let the armored forces break through the Chinese lines and strangle with the Chinese. In this way, the air raids of the Chinese will be somewhat restrained. Timoshenko ordered.

The air superiority of the Chinese Empire was so obvious that the Soviets would pay extremely heavy casualties if they sat idly by and watched the air raids of the Chinese Air Force. For Timoshenko, the only way he can think of now is probably to break through the defense line of the Chinese army as soon as possible.

"Yes, Comrade Commander." The staff officer nodded, and immediately went to convey the order.

On the Ural front, the commanders of the various Soviet armies received orders from Timoshenko to attack. Although, their previous preparation of fire was not completed. However, there is no longer so much to care about. If they wait for the Chinese Air Force fighters to return and continue the bombing, they will pay a greater price.

"For the sake of Soviet Russia, for the sake of Comrade Stalin, rush!" Countless political workers on the front line shouted loudly.

"Ulla! Ulla! "A large number of Soviet soldiers jumped out of the trenches and rushed towards the Urals. Because of the snow, the temperature dropped below freezing, and the Ural River, which was not wide, was frozen, which allowed the soldiers to rush directly across the Ural River from the ice without having to erect pontoon bridges or the like. Of course, the Soviet army's tanks and armored vehicles and other heavy weapons were easier to cross the river. Although the ice cannot carry the weight of tanks and armored vehicles, the Ural River is now in a dry period, the river is very shallow, and even the river is very easy, and tanks and armored vehicles can directly wade across the river.

"Da Da Da!" Heavy machine guns from Soviet positions began to strafe fire, providing fire cover for the attacking Soviet troops in an attempt to suppress the positions of the Imperial Army.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "Some mortars and field guns also began shelling, and they tried to destroy the fire points of the Imperial Army as much as possible, so as to reduce the casualties of their own soldiers. Because the defense lines of the two sides are not far apart, only a kilometer apart. Therefore, many weapons of the Soviet army can come in handy.

Numerous Soviet soldiers leapt from their positions and launched an attack on the lines of the Imperial Army. They stepped on the snow, one foot deep and one foot shallow, and launched an attack. There was a frenzy in everyone's eyes, and there was no fear at all.

"The divisions pay attention to the fact that the Soviets have launched an offensive and immediately enter the positions and hold the defensive line. Call the artillery in the rear, ask for fire support. "The commanders at the front also gave orders.

The soldiers of the Imperial Army, who had been hiding in the anti-artillery holes, came out of the anti-artillery holes one after another and entered the positions along the communication trenches. The correspondent also hurriedly contacted the artillery positions in the rear and requested artillery support. When the Soviet artillery opened fire fiercely, the artillery of the 3rd Army of the Imperial Army remained silent. Now that the Soviet artillery has been heavily damaged, and the remnants of the artillery are hiding in the woods and do not dare to fire any more, it is time for the artillery of the Imperial Army to show itself.

"Da Da Da!" A machine gunner set up a light machine gun at a machine gun fire point and began strafing the attacking Soviet troops. A dense stream of bullets swept towards the Soviet troops, and the attacking Soviet soldiers fell to the ground. Blood flowed from them, leaving a shocking red color in the snow.

"Boom!" A mortar shell exploded on the snow, and the snow was blown up all over the sky, and the snowflakes wrapped in shrapnel **** all around, and immediately blew several Soviet soldiers around to the ground.

"Da Da Da!" A stiff heavy machine gun also began to roar, and the dense bullets were like a torrential rain on the Soviet troops, and the Soviet soldiers who charged with cats on their waists fell to the ground one by one if they were cutting wheat.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! The crisp sound of a rifle like fried beans rang out. The infantry in the trenches also began to shoot the Soviet soldiers with rifles. Although the firepower of the rifle is inferior to that of the machine gun, in terms of accuracy, it is superior to the machine gun. The soldiers of the Imperial Army have always had strict requirements for marksmanship. Through a lot of training, their marksmanship has improved greatly. Of course, the amount of ammunition consumed in this area alone is also very staggering. What's more, there are also snipers in each squad. These snipers who use sniper rifles are the Grim Reaper that those Soviet soldiers have to face. With the help of sniper rifles, they were often able to shoot one Soviet soldier after another. Moreover, often the targets they choose to snipe are valuable targets, such as Soviet machine gunners or junior officers.

Less than two minutes after the start of the Soviet offensive, the artillery of the Imperial Army began shelling. The first to fire were the 75-mm field guns of the regiments, which, at the request of the front-line troops, poured shells directly into the dense areas of the Soviet troops. Although this field gun has been in service with the Imperial Army for more than three decades, its light weight, fast rate of fire, and ability to fire fifteen shells per minute at its limit make it still the favorite infantry support firepower of the Imperial Army.

Shells fell from the sky and continued to fall into the ranks of the Soviet troops, and a large number of Soviet soldiers were directly blown away. However, there were too many Soviet soldiers attacking, and even if the people in front were killed, the people behind immediately followed.

The howitzers deployed behind the line of defense also fired, and the division's 105-mm light howitzers, 155-mm heavy howitzers, and the 210-mm heavy howitzers belonging to the army group all appeared.

"Boom!" A 155-mm howitzer fell on the ice of the Urals. Immediately, hundreds of square meters of ice in the vicinity were blown up, and dozens of Soviet soldiers fell into the Ural River. The icy river water made these Soviet soldiers shiver from the cold, and their faces were pale.

"Boom!" Another 210-mm shell fell on the west bank of the Urals, and on the river beach, a large number of Soviet soldiers were preparing to rush to the ice, but the shells that fell from the sky exploded in the crowd, directly causing heavy casualties to the Soviet troops gathered here. In the violent explosion, hundreds of Soviet soldiers were killed, and a large crater was left on the river beach.

"Damn, heavy artillery for the Chinese. This is definitely a heavy howitzer with a caliber of more than two hundred millimeters. When we shelled before, these heavy guns of theirs were hidden and did not fire, and now they are firing, which is simply too scheming. A Soviet general said through gritted teeth.

Obviously, the Imperial Army knew that the strength of artillery was obviously not as large as that of the two million Soviet troops, so the Chinese artillery remained silent when the Soviet artillery was reckless. Let the bombers of the Chinese Air Force come on the field and bomb the Soviet artillery. It was only after the Soviet artillery suffered heavy losses and the infantry went on the offensive that the artillery of the Imperial Army began shelling, aimed at the Soviet infantry.

Hundreds of artillery pieces of the 3rd Army of the Imperial Army let out an earth-shattering roar, constantly firing shells, inflicting great casualties on the attacking Soviet soldiers. However, the defensive line of the 3rd Army of the Imperial Army was simply too long. The 200-kilometer-long defense line has only these few hundred cannons, and if it is averaged, there are only two cannons per kilometer. Of course, if you count the mortars of the various units below, the density of this artillery is undoubtedly much greater.

Shells continued to explode in the ranks of the Soviet troops, and shrapnel was everywhere, taking away the lives of one by one.

"Da Da Da!" The crossfire composed of light and heavy machine guns of the empire continued to shoot and kill the Soviet soldiers, so that the Soviet troops continued to fall and bleed and die in the process of attacking. But even this could not stop the pace of the Soviet offensive. A large number of Soviet soldiers were still desperately attacking, braving the hail of bullets and stepping on the corpses of their comrades.

"Boom!" On the Soviet positions on the west bank of the Urals, pitch-black iron bumps rushed out of the positions. These iron bumps are the tanks of the armored forces of the Soviet army. On the defensive line of more than 200 kilometers, the Soviet army invested nearly 2,000 tanks to attack. The vast majority of these tanks were T-26 light tanks and BT-7 fast tanks, with only a very small number of KV-1 heavy tanks.

At the time of Timoshenko's order to attack, the Soviet armored forces were not ready. At the same time, because before starting the tank in the cold winter, it is necessary to warm up the car. This caused them to delay a great deal of time, knowing that the infantry attack had begun for more than twenty minutes before they began to attack.

However, as soon as the Soviet armored forces appeared, the Imperial Army was greatly shocked and made them feel a huge pressure. No matter how bad the quality of the tanks of the Soviet army is, it is still a tank! Not a machine gun can penetrate it. It requires anti-aircraft guns or anti-tank guns and your own tanks to be able to deal with them.

What's more, the armored forces of the Soviet army were too large, and more than two thousand tanks were forming more than a dozen tank clusters on a defensive line of more than two hundred kilometers long to launch an attack. This undoubtedly formed a torrent of steel, rushing towards the position of the Imperial Army with a huge momentum.

"Damn, Lao Maozi is really willing to pay for it! Actually threw so many tanks into the attack. If we don't do it, we won't be able to hold out for even a day. Order the anti-tank guns to prepare, take out the old Maozi's tank. Send a telegram to the rear, we need reinforcements. "The commander of a battalion at the front ordered. (To be continued.) )
