Chapter 578 Steel, Storm! 4

The cold wind was wrapped in fine ice particles, which made the whole of Western Siberia begin to consider the threat of winter. Early in the morning, hundreds of conscripted civil servants and soldiers were pulled out of the warm quilt and ordered to go to the railway station to carry 20 trucks of supplies that arrived last night.

Major Boroni was woken up by shouting. He was very angry when he had just arrived from St. Petersburg, but he had no choice. This was Admiral Chekov's order. No, it should be said that he is a general, because last night's train also brought the letter of appointment of His Majesty the Tsar, and he has been promoted to General of the Russian Army.

He couldn't sleep, so he had to get into the barracks and wake up the tank soldiers who were still sleeping soundly.

"Get up!"

"Damn it, you stupid pigs, if the Chinese army had come here now, you would have died like this!"

"Idiot, what are you still doing? Go and make a fire to the boiler and take a walk to see if the cold current last night hurt the chariot!"

Major Boroni's roar attracted a lot of white eyes and curses. The Russian tank soldiers have hated this little white face in St. Petersburg, who only knows how to drill women's crotch, but the official level crushed people to death, and everyone could only walk lazily to the distance.

In the open space, 20 Mendeleev super tanks with a square appearance gradually excited Major Boroni, who lacked a woman's warm bed. There are two heavy machine guns installed in the rotating machine gun tower on each side, using the bottom of the adjustable car. Oil and gas suspension from the ground, the thickness of the front steel plate is 150 mm, the side is 100 mm, even the tail is 80 mm, and the total weight reaches 170 tons!

They are Russian masterpieces!

At least Major Boroni thinks so. It turns out that this big monster has no chance to be created, because it is too expensive. However, after the United States joined, the first batch of loans of 500 million US dollars were given to Russia, and finally released the monster!

His Majesty the Great Tsar has been disgusted with the death of three million elite troops being dragged here, so he brought 20 newly produced vehicles to the Eastern Front, hoping to solve those damn yellow pagans as soon as possible.

Boloni also believes that as long as he reaches the front line, the fortress of Minusinsk will collapse under the trembling of 20 120mm heavy guns, because no infantry can resist such a powerful weapon.

However, when he thought of how to reach the front line, Major Boroni's head was big, because this monster weighed 170 tons, and no internal combustion engine could push it, so he could only use a boiler and steam engine. But even so, its speed in the wild was only three miles per hour, even if it was transported to the front line by train. The problem of the middle zone of 80 kilometers.

Western Siberia is about to face a severe winter, and this weather is a big problem for any metal, so he asked the boiler to make a fire once a day to ensure that these giant beasts can stay in shape.

Twenty columns of smoke rose from the open space in the center of the fortress, and the slowly moving Mendelev supertank stunned all the soldiers who saw it for the first time, but Major Boroni would never have thought of the serious consequences of his so-called due diligence to Tomsk!

"There is a column of smoke!"

Looking at the white fog all over the sky, Xia Shihui was anxious about how to locate the target. The rolling smoke column suddenly rising in the sky in the distance made him excited in an eye. After seeing the smoke column, the two wild horses responsible for detection and cover saw the smoke column, it was like smelling a bloody hunting shark, and the fuselage roared down. Rush to go.

Lightweight wild horses have a speed of up to 320 knots per hour, that is, 590 kilometers. If they are not synchronized with the formation, they can roar over Tomsk in just an hour.

The Mustang, which swooped quickly at an angle of 30 degrees, quickly swept through the smoke column area. When the ferocious black eagle under the wings looked down at the earth, the awakening fortress of Tomsk was stunned. Major Boroni also looked at the sky stupidly. He didn't understand where this unprecedented plane flew from?

When a trace of badness just rose, the larger black eagle appeared in the sky, and the buzzing motor sounded from light to loud, and then turned into a harsh roar.

The fortress of Tomsk, which covers an area of more than 40 square kilometers, is like an exploded beehive. The alarm bell rang from every corner. Many soldiers grabbed a gun and rushed out without even wearing clothes. The artillery rushed to the four scattered forts. When they panicked open the thick cold-proof gun clothes, when there were few More than a dozen 57mm anti-aircraft guns have just begun to raise their heads, and the shells have not been stuffed into the gun, and the shadow has passed from a low altitude of less than 300 meters above the head.

At that moment, Major Boroni's eyes seemed to be frozen.

Two black spots threw out of the belly of this large plane that he had never seen before and fell straight to the left fort, and then the roaring violent explosion almost made him kneel down.

In the loud noise, two huge mushroom clouds flashed in front of them. The soaring fire and gunpowder smoke were hundreds of meters high. The explosion pushed the soldiers around them directly hundreds of meters away. Although they did not hit the fort directly in the end, the rubble and rubble smashed the cement wall outside the fort. When the heat wave came with countless rubble, the frightened horses hundreds of meters away began to run around.

"It's a pity."

He glanced at the semi-damaged fort. Xia Shihui secretly said that it was a pity that he finally did not start the low-altitude bombing before the anti-aircraft gun was activated. Unexpectedly, he still did not hit directly. Although it was a little broken, most of the people inside must have died, but as long as there were enough supplements, it should be recovered soon.

This is not a good thing. No matter how powerful the fourth stepper is, it is impossible to bombard the heavy artillery of the fortress, so he hurriedly grabbed the microphone and shouted: "Call No. 03, the stone is finished asking for directions. The point is four forts, free bombing!"

"Free bombing!"

With Xia Shihui's call, Major Boroni was completely dumbfounded. He only saw a large dark cloud directly out in the distance this time!

The second plane, which dropped bombs, also deviated from the fort, but it did not make people feel lucky. Instead, they were more afraid, because the two bombs fell into the barracks under the fort, in which more than a thousand soldiers who were running out were instantly torn apart by the air waves of the explosion.

When one of the bombs that fell again drilled in from the No. 4 turret on the far left, and then lifted a thick and heavy 203mm barrel modified from the naval gun and smashed an officer's dormitory under the fortress, he jumped up like a dream.

"Drive fast! Drive and get out of here!"

Boroni got into the nearest Mendeleev tank, and the thick armor reassured him a lot. The soldiers who had already been scared to the back cabin tried their best to compete for coal in the boiler and pushed the huge thing little by little.

A Kunpeng, who had not yet dropped a bomb, found a tank that was not running far in the open space. The pilot was very curious about what it was. He wanted to fly lower to see it clearly, but at this time, the roaring fortress anti-aircraft gun made him give up his mind. No matter what it was, he threw down two bombs.

The power of the 500kg aerial bomb is extremely amazing. One is enough to destroy most of the open space. When two heavy bombs exploded from the edge of the open space, everything within hundreds of meters around was quickly pushed like a hurricane. Five of them were concentrated there, and 170 tons of Mendeleev tanks were straight. Overturned.

If the Mendeleev tank itself was like an iron wall blocking a lot of debris and air waves rushing on his partners, if Major Boroni had not moved ahead of time with the remaining tanks, the gains of these two bombs would have been greater.

But at this time, no one realized how wrong it was to leave the fortress with the tank troops and prepare to go to the wild to temporarily avoid Major Boloni, because he provided coordinates for the last two waves of Kunpeng.

Because the direction was shifted at night, when the last six Kunpeng arrived over the fortress, the whole Tomsk was almost shrouded in gunpowder smoke, which made the pilots who were eager to find the target and return quickly, so that the oil-free pilots would not be particularly anxious. At this time, they saw a large group of large iron boxes drilled out of the fortress.

12 500 kilograms of bombs flew down the passage from Mendeleev's tank. The explosion completely tore the passage, but because the explosion was too violent, a large amount of rubble blocked the road.

General Chekov staggered out of the fragments of the explosion. Looking at the group of bombers leaving leisurely, his face turned blue. He grabbed the staff officer next to him and shouted, "Where are the anti-aircraft gun? Why didn't you fire!"

"General, they came so suddenly that the anti-aircraft guns were destroyed a lot before they were ready."

"Damn it!"

Chekov could not accuse the soldiers of slacking off, because he did not expect the Xinhua plane to arrive here. Thinking that he would face such terrible bombing every day in the future, he even immediately wanted to return to Ural Mountain.

The temporarily suspended explosion made the frightened Tomsk gasp a little. After stepping on the rubble and corpse fragments and climbing up the only complete fort at the height of the fortress, General Chekov's face turned green.

56 bombs, in just 20 minutes, brought unimaginable damage to the fortress. Around the tour, thick smoke covered the sky, screaming soldiers were everywhere under the rubble, and the fire rose from under every brick!

If Chekov knew that because he still needed this fortress, the Second Air Division did not use more powerful heavy incendiary bombs and napalm bombs, I don't know how lucky he would feel.

"God, this is hell!" The staff officer next to him moved his throat knot, which was the only thing he thought of to describe the fortress of Tomsk at this moment, but before his voice was blown away, large black clouds appeared again in the sky in the distance.

"Fire!"

Anti-aircraft guns and rapid-fire guns began to fire on the second wave of aircraft. General Chekov clenched his teeth. He never thought that the planes of the Xinhua Empire could reach here across nearly 500 kilometers and drop such a powerful bomb!

But before he ordered to strengthen the firepower, the staff around him shouted.

"General, look!"

Following his fingers, Chekov, who had just been promoted to general, saw an unforgettable scene in his life. He only saw countless smoke rising on the southern horizon, and hundreds of black spots in the smoke rushed to Tomsk!
