Solinsky frowned. He did not expect that some Chinese troops whose weapons and equipment were not much better than the guerrillas would actually delay themselves on the sand for so long. The stubborn resistance, coupled with the sand pits on the soft sand, made the armored soldiers

It is difficult to fully deploy it, and obviously Solinsky's tanks are not good at using night vision goggles to fight in the dark night. The soldiers of the 5th Agricultural Division who come one after another always have ways to use methods that Solinsky finds ridiculous and impossible.

Destroy their T-64.

From the beginning of the battle to the present, Solinsky was shocked to find that a group of infantrymen who did not even have recoilless rifles or rocket launchers had destroyed 9 of their T-64 tanks. This result was even if he finally completely destroyed the Chinese army.

The establishment will also bring him ridicule from his colleagues.

"Narrow the distance between tanks and use denser defense to keep out the Chinese death squads!" Solinsky took the battlefield phone and ordered to his frontline commanders. He couldn't think of anything good at this time.

Because he needed to protect the fragments of the spacecraft, he was restricted in many aspects, which made him feel like he was dancing with shackles, which was very uncomfortable.

Solinsky's method is definitely not wrong. The assault tactics of infantry-tank coordination generally require a certain distance between tanks. This is a problem of breakthrough width. However, at this time, it is obvious to maintain the 100-150 meter distance taught in the textbook.

It was not a smart choice, because in the dark, even with the help of night vision goggles, it was still easy to miss some details. The sneaky Chinese specially threw explosive bags and grenade bundles under the chassis of the tank.

When the T-64s began to gather together and cooperate with each other to guard their surroundings, the infantry anti-tank tactics of the 5th Peasant Division began to fail. Although the armored troops advanced slowly but steadily, they gradually began to destroy the Peasants with a high battle damage rate.

The fifth division’s final confidence.

Commander Liu also noticed this phenomenon. He resolutely took out his Type 92 pistol and said: "Let's go to the front line. Today, even if our Fifth Agricultural Division is defeated, we will drag the Soviets away."

Here, provide valuable time for backup!”

When the top commander of this unit had already shown his will to fight to the death, he still wanted to persuade him to withdraw the division headquarters. The people who were in charge of the 8th Division behind him also kept their mouths shut. No one wanted to say anything at this time.

If they are cowards, even they have a strong sense of fear in their hearts. They all think about their families and their own lives, but the military uniforms on their bodies are like a suppressive talisman. As long as they wear them, they cannot think about anything else and put themselves aside.

Put their gains and losses, honor and disgrace above the interests of the collective and the country, even if it means their personal death.

Just when Commander Liu and others had just walked out of the temporary headquarters, they suddenly heard a roar from the dark sky, and then saw several fighter planes flashing night lights flying rapidly over their heads.

For a moment above their heads, these fighter planes released several missiles on their pylons. After the rocket engines were ignited, they flew towards the T-64 tanks several kilometers away with dazzling flames.

Only violent explosions were heard in the distance, and at least four tanks were hit by this round-looking missile from the weakest point on the roof. The 60-kilogram high-explosive warhead directly hit

The turrets of several tanks were raised. There is no doubt that there will be no breathing objects inside. Whether all the bodies can be found is a big question mark.

Commander Liu suddenly became excited: "The Air Force is here!"

As he shouted in relief and rejoicing, more and more fighter planes roared past. Just like the previous ones, they threw out what looked like elongated oversized winter melons from the pylons, carrying four pieces of them.

Larger wing missiles. These missiles have only recently entered service in the Air Force. They are modeled as the AR-2 air-to-ground anti-tank missile. However, some Air Force personnel and military fans like to call this thing the "Chinese version of the Maverick."

With a missile weight of 205 kilograms, a missile length of 2.3 meters, a diameter of 0.28 meters, and a wingspan of 0.7 meters, this air-launched anti-armor missile, which looks almost the same as the Maverick missile, is actually based on the original

The AR-1 missile specially developed for drones was mixed with the Maverick missile used by the Red Alert Allied Forces. The final design was completed as an all-weather air-to-ground missile with a range of 30-50 kilometers and a fire-and-forget feature.

Later generations of PLA did not have a particularly strong demand for air-to-ground missiles of the Maverick level. The reasons are very complicated. First of all, the army's tank army itself is an anti-tank weapon. In addition, it is more suitable for anti-armor armed helicopters. This kind of attack

Cheap missiles carried by aircraft and fighter jets, suitable for attacking large-scale armored clusters, are not particularly important. Furthermore, TG’s air force has never been keen on doing “dirty work” such as ground attacks, and its defensive national defense

The policy does not require too many missiles with obvious attack attributes.

But things are different today. The Soviet Union is still pressing on northern Xinjiang. Tens of thousands of tanks are not just a threat to European countries. The development of such a missile will play a very important role in neutralizing the Soviet Union's large-scale armored forces. From the original intention

Look, it is no different from the Americans developing missiles such as Mavericks, Hellfire, and TOW.

At this time, the demonic fighters in the sky do not actually belong to the Air Force, at least not completely. More than twenty Leopard B multi-purpose heavy-duty fighters were originally ordered by the Air Force, but Qi Yiming temporarily withheld them before delivery.

Okay, let the red alert pilot drive away directly to the airport in Xinjiang.

Leopard B is a powerful multi-purpose fighter. After using the composite pylon, the mounts for this mission were unified: two auxiliary fuel tanks, two PL-12s and two PL-8s, and in the front air inlet.

Up to four navigation and guidance pods are used on the pylons and wingtip pylons, as well as seven AR-2 anti-tank missiles.

In other words, these twenty-odd Leopard Bs brought 1,560 AR-2s into the combat zone in one breath, while Solinsky's tanks in front of him definitely did not have 100 tanks.

This time it was Solinsky's turn to be confused. He slapped the table angrily: "Where is the Homeland Defense Force? Why didn't the enemy fighter planes approach? Why didn't they take off?"

Solinsky's staff officer widened his eyes, patted his chief officer, pointed outside and said to him: "Comrade Chief, I think this is the reason!"

Solinsky hurriedly went to the window to look, and saw an object drawing a beautiful trajectory like a comet in the sky, in the form of a parabola, thinking of falling headlong into the distance, and that was where their division was.

We were at the barracks. Fortunately, there weren't many people there at the moment.

"Short-range surface-to-surface missiles!" Solinski's head buzzed. But this was not over yet. More and more "comets" streaked across the sky and began to attack various military facilities on the Soviet side.

The staff officer shouted with worry: "Comrade Chief, our radar station in the border area has been destroyed by short-range surface-to-surface missiles, uh, and they used anti-radiation warheads. The Homeland Defense Air Force took off more than ten minutes ago

However, there were too many enemies. They wanted to continue intercepting, but they were attacked by Chinese short-range surface-to-surface missiles at several important airports. Airports and other facilities were damaged, and maintenance is being stepped up."

"Damn the Chinese! Do they want to fully confront our great Soviet Union? They will not have a chance, the Soviet Red Army will beat them into powder!" Solinsky clenched his fists, with veins popping out, obviously already

Extremely angry.

But his staff continued to report bad news to him, "Comrade Commander, the 21st Tank Regiment has been completely wiped out... Almost no tank can continue to fight. Our infantry has also suffered some losses, but it has not been defeated yet.

The Chinese infantry on the opposite side has almost been defeated, please give your instructions."

Solinsky's mind started to work quickly. The most important trump card in his hand was the tank regiment. However, after a group of unreasonable Chinese fighter planes flew into the war zone, they threw anti-tank missiles like they punched a master to death. These

The hit rate of the missiles was frighteningly high. The Soviet armored troops, which lacked battlefield air defense (Solinsky did not expect it to evolve into this at the beginning), were beaten to pieces by the Leopard Bs in the sky. They lost important nodes on the battlefield.

The armored forces and even their infantry still have a certain impact, but Solinsky does not doubt that the Chinese air force has already arrived, and their support troops in the rear will not arrive too late.

After a brief reflection, Solinsky made a decisive decision: "Immediately request the support of the 32nd Army. The Chinese are going to fight us. For the sake of glory and the Soviet Union, we must not let the Chinese take advantage and must defeat the Chinese."

, take the fragment into your hands!"

The staff officer said weakly: "Comrade Chief, the latest news is that a Chinese flying group flying from the direction of Kashgar attacked the only way for our rear support to advance. This is a premeditated battlefield interception by the Chinese. The 32nd Army

Efforts are being made to repair the road, but it will take at least 7 hours to reach the war zone."

The terrain of Turkestan in Central Asia is quite complex, with large plains and river valleys, towering mountains, and thousands of miles of dry desert. Therefore, the march of troops relies particularly on basic transportation facilities. Especially on the side of Lake Ala in the Soviet Union, there are mountains crisscrossing the area.

, once the road is cut off, tanks and armored vehicles cannot cross the mountains, and a detour is even more unrealistic.

Solinsky seemed to have had all his strength drained from his body: "That means we are the only troops in the war zone now?"

The staff officer said with difficulty: "It seems so, Comrade Chief."

Solinsky did not have the mentality of sacrificing his life for righteousness. After hearing this situation, he immediately made a decision and said loudly: "Order the infantry regiment to retreat and take away all the fragments that can be carried in advance. We will pull to the rear and rest temporarily.

After the 32nd Army completes road repairs and joins forces, we will give the Chinese a fatal blow!"
Chapter completed!
