MTL - Big Time 1958-Chapter 1029 The Soviet Union

This night is destined to be unsettled. It is not as comfortable as the Arabian Nights fairy tale that is popular all over the world. Starting from the middle of the night, each army takes turns eating. The logistics of the Soviet Union is still incomparable with the United States. Of course, it does not have such high requirements as the US military. The sound of lunch boxes It has become the main theme of this time. The Soviet Union's combat readiness in peacetime is second to none in the world, but this kind of combat readiness is also incomparable to a real war.

  Under a day of high-intensity combat, the exhausted troops began to take turns to rest. Soldiers in the war could control their minds and ignore death, but they could not let their physical exhaustion disappear. The sound of guns and guns coming from afar has become the embellishment of the Arabian night. The selected troops of the Red Flag Turkestan Military Region are on guard in the night. Fighting at night may bring chaos. Attack from the middle, but this possibility also exists, and we must guard against it.

  Because of the time difference, the time in Moscow is relatively late, and the Kremlin is still relatively lively. Serov is receiving discussions with the military, including Marshal Gorshkov, the commander of the Red Navy.

During the daytime, after issuing the emergency evacuation order document, Serov established the Soviet shadow government, and established who will control the country once the worst result is reached, that is, after Serov is bombed into gas by a nuclear bomb, the list has not been announced. , but this session of the Soviet Central Presidium does not have a single member, these old men have only one task, staying in Moscow, either to accompany Serov to take risks, or to accompany Serov to die.

The people in the    shadow government have received the news, both Lukashenko and Nazarbayev have been informed that once Moscow is hit by a nuclear attack, the two will retreat from the arranged channels and lead the Soviet Union.

"According to the photos of the spy satellites, the formation of the British Royal Navy is the easiest place for us to start." Shelov took a set of photos to Marshal Gorshkov, and then said, "One thing must be admitted. , I have some respect for the United States, especially their nuclear weapons."

   Of course, no one opposes this kind of candor, and no one who can beat the weak is willing to force a dialogue, but it is so legitimate to be able to bully the weak and fear the hard, and the big spy is thick-skinned. The Royal Navy's fleet is in the Arabian Sea south of Iran, and of course far away, actually flanking the rear of the US Navy.

  There is of course a reason for this situation. Although the United Kingdom and the United States always wear a pair of pants, they are not a country after all. The U.S. Navy is a heavy aircraft carrier battle group in one water. If the British light aircraft carrier and the U.S. Navy are mixed together, it will affect the combat effectiveness of the U.S. Navy. The Royal Navy is more assisting the U.S. Navy.

   So in this case, the Royal Navy actually did not have much involvement in the Persian Gulf War, of course, the First Division of the British Army was involved.

"If the Red Navy comes out of the Red Sea, it will collide with the U.S. Navy in the Arabian Sea. Is it more dangerous?" Admiral Chebrikov expressed his concerns, so that the U.S. Navy would not think that the Soviet Red Navy was targeting the British. come.

   "The confrontation at sea is too dangerous, so the Red Navy cannot take action this time." Shelov smiled, not interested in the plan to trouble the Americans on the sea. Of course, it is possible to have a frontal rigidity. The premise must be on land, and air confrontation is also possible, but it must be within the combat radius of the Soviet Union. In short, it must be an area where the Soviet Union has a clear advantage. The Red Navy can unilaterally beat the US Navy. This only exists in the dream of Marshal Gorshkov.

  There is the existence of the US Navy. Although the Soviet Red Navy has long been able to hang and beat the British, it cannot take action. Marshal Gorshkov also understood this. As soon as Serov said that the Red Navy could not be dispatched, he immediately replied, "Naval aviation bomber division?"

"Only air power can fight and run. If the Red Navy is dispatched and won, it will be chased and run by the Americans. It may not be able to run away!" Shelov looked like I was also very desperate. How can I face the US Navy? manage? If they can't beat them, they can only find an opponent whose strength is not as good as that of the Soviet Union, such as the United Kingdom.

The Soviet backfire bombers are about three-fifths of the strength of the Air Force, and two-fifths of the strength of the Red Navy, which is used to fight against the US aircraft carrier battle group. There are currently two naval bomber divisions, about 140 maps. The -22M3 backfire bomber belongs to the Soviet Red Navy. The British Ark Royal is normally far enough to hide, and the granite cannot reach it, and the US aircraft carrier battle group is in front, but for the Tu-22M3 backfire bomber , which is not far enough.

"This raid can give Americans a little bit of memory. It didn't apply to the U.S. Navy. It is already the greatest sincerity of the Soviet Union." Serov picked up the ashtray that was already full, and turned back, "It's not too difficult to implement. ?"

   "After General Bagramyan's total starts, I will order the 37th Air Force to dispatch." Marshal Gorshkov put on his hat and prepared to return to the Ministry of Defense to formulate a battle plan.

Early the next morning, General Bagramyan, who was not disturbed by the scattered gunfire, got on the phone of Kvassnin, commander of the Red Flag Sixth Tank Army, and ordered in a calm tone, "We are only forty minutes away from Kuwait City. Kilometers, give you eight hours to penetrate them, and the troops of the North Caucasus Military Region will detour and attack the troops of Saudi Arabia, Oman and other countries.”

"It shouldn't be a problem!" Lieutenant General Kvashning did not look down on the US military. According to the Warsaw Pact joint operations plan, the Western group of 500,000 people would be indiscriminately bombarded by 7,000 NATO aircraft to defeat the US within two days. Reloaded the Seventh Army and the Fifth Army, and now the entire Soviet army here has 600,000, and the opponent has only one Fifth Army. The line of defense urgently established by the other side is incomparable to the decades of operation in the Federal Republic of Germany, and the difficulties faced are much smaller than those of the Western clusters.

Lieutenant General Kvashning, who put down the phone, adjusted his force configuration. 200 artillery pieces per kilometer are too few. There should be 280. There are also a little less tanks. The main force of General Gramyan. The shelling of Zhou Ran began, marking the beginning of the general Soviet attack.

   "They have too many tanks, a tank army has so many tanks." Lieutenant General Franks muttered to himself after learning about the aerial reconnaissance. He knew that the Soviet army's attack had begun, and it was still the kind that was pressing on the whole line.

  The subsequent report of the staff confirmed Lieutenant General Franks' concerns. The endless tank army with the unique track sound of tanks attacked the position of the Seventh Army, and the classic Soviet deep raid reappeared.

"We are immersed in using high-tech weapons to fight small countries, pursuing a low-casualty war model, and finally encounter an opponent that cannot be eaten! Today we paid the price, General Schwarzkopf, if our Seventh Army can't stop the Soviets , I suggest that the troops besieging Kuwait City immediately retreat, those troops will be more dangerous." After speaking to Schwarzkopf, Lieutenant General Franks hung up the phone and ordered, "We are a heavy force, and we will carry out Our duty."

   The troops of the Red Flag Sixth Tank Army rushed forward like an endless stream of iron. A large number of T80U tanks, under the cover of armed helicopters, lined up in neat formations and attacked the defense line of the American Reloaded Seventh Army in a straight line. The artillery shells of the Red Army's long-range artillery landed precisely on the enemy's position, providing cover for the assault of the tank troops.

   Thousands of artillery pieces suddenly roared like a tsunami, and the fiery red ballistics instantly covered the sky, and countless artillery shells swept across the sky towards the opposite position. The violent explosion sounded continuously, and the earth and sky seemed to tremble under this incomparable power.

Under the cover of heavy artillery shelling and under the blow of air power, the units of the U.S. Seventh Army, which are heavy armored units, are not afraid. They also have gunships, and Abrams tanks are not bad at all. It was a hand-to-hand battle between the muzzle and the muzzle. In mid-air, the Apache gunships and the Hindu gunships were like two swarms of bees fighting, and the gunships were constantly being hit and exploded in the air.

   "Franks, how many armed helicopters do you have in the US military? How many tanks?" Lieutenant General Kvassnin was unmoved by the current damaged data, and the war should have been fought like this.

Moreover, in high-level battles, the United States Air Force and the Soviet Air Force are not inferior at all, but because of the quantitative relationship, the effect of ground combat cannot be reflected. Lieutenant General Franks is sinking a little in the face of this situation, and air supremacy cannot be achieved. Captured, the gunship group was entangled by a numerically superior opponent, and the air defense of the Soviet ground forces far outstripped the U.S. military. The most important thing is that there are too many tanks in the Soviet Union. Among the U.S. forces in the entire Persian Gulf, only the Seventh Army is a heavy force.

"In terms of the range of our Tu-22M3 backfire bomber, there is no problem in rushing to the Arabian Sea from here!" The commander of the 37th Air Force held up the telescope and watched the backfire bombers accelerate one after another. Finally, they rushed into the blue sky until they disappeared from sight. At the major airports in Uzbekistan, groups of backfire bombers rushed into the sky.

In some air bases in southern Afghanistan, Soviet pilots drove Soviet-made fighter jets of the Afghan Air Force to **** the air strike. The kh55 cruise missiles under the backfire bombers had a long range, so the backfire bombers did not need to appear at all. Can be launched at sea.

There is no problem with the Royal Navy, which is 800 kilometers away. On the aircraft carrier USS Midway, Captain Richard Cooper took a telegram from China and ordered, "Tell the ships to activate the known air defense system. , focus on detecting the northeast direction."

  The USS Kennedy, USS Roosevelt, USS America and other US heavy aircraft carrier battle groups entered a state of alert one after another. Suddenly, a large number of far points marked the enemy's attack appeared on the radar, which made all the US military commanders who received the warning felt nervous.

"Prepare to intercept? Is there something wrong with the Soviet missile's guidance system?" Captain Richard Cooper felt that something was wrong, but he still issued the interception order, and the reliability of the Aegis system would be tested immediately. He thought it was, but it turned out that his judgment was wrong.
