"Where's our armored unit?" Gordon said sarcastically, "Two T80 armored battalions were beaten up by the opponent's anti-tank unit. Is it true that only the Russians can exert their own effects on Soviet weapons?"

"Tank?" Alkasha smiled lightly and shook his head. "This time, we don't want you to charge with your flesh and blood. We have prepared a whole armored force for you."

Alkasha turned around and led everyone to the front of the camp.When they saw the endless T72 tanks, everyone couldn't help but boil.The icy armor was docked in front of everyone, solemn and solemn, like a group of giant steel beasts waiting for orders and preparing to tear apart all the enemies blocking Soviet.

Artillery fire tore through all obstacles in front of us, and the Soviet armored group combat will always be an immortal myth.

This time, Turkey will tremble in the face of the powerful combat capabilities of the Soviet army.

"These are all weapons brought to us by the motherland, and of course there are even more terrifying guys. We must let the Turkish army on the opposite side know that even if the Soviet Union declines, it is a hundred times stronger than a rising Turkey."

Following Arkasha's eyes, everyone saw the red pipe organ of the Soviet Union - Tornado rockets, and the Tunguska self-propelled artillery, the loyal defender of the armored torrent.These war weapons sent by the Il-76 transport plane are ready to be used in their last war. Although the motherland no longer needs them to defend, no one will take a step back in the face of defending the loyal faith.

Some soldiers couldn't help stroking the steel tracks. After years of erosion, these tanks still maintained the pride of the Red Empire back then.These armors, like those lonely veterans, would rather choose to die on the battlefield than to be worn out by the years.

Compared with the nasty human bomb attacks in the Middle East, charging with magnificent armored forces is the real war, the Soviet Union's red violence aesthetics.

Arkasha climbed onto one of the tanks, pointed his finger at the ready-to-go armored battalion behind him, and shouted, "Comrades, we are glad to see you all here today, if we break through the 'march' set up by the Turks later The line of defense', that's even better! Let's educate these Turkish cowards what is called a Soviet-style war!"

"They think that the Soviet Red Army is no longer the torrent of steel they used to be. They laugh at our failure in Afghanistan. They think we will give in and surrender! But today, we want to show them that the Red Army will never bow to anyone!"

The rising sun was engraved on Alkasha's face with a firm expression.He looked far into the distance, when two Hind helicopters just passed over his head, and the airflow brought by the rotating tail lifted his military uniform and flew away.The red star on the beret is shining brightly under the imprint of the rising sun.

"Today, we want to let them see the power of the Soviet Union!"

"The attack begins, Ulla!"

Chapter 563 Ambush and counter-ambush

The town of Kurion has entered a state of high alert. The Turkish and Northern Cypriot troops have fortified the town in an attempt to turn Kurion into an Ottoman fortress.The No.30 Ninth Tank Battalion of the Turkish No.60 Division that invaded Cyprus was stationed in this town, and it was also called the Hell Armor in this war.The Turkish troops stationed in Cyprus developed it into an elite armored battalion in Cyprus. Except for a small number of Leopard [-] tanks, the rest are M[-] main battle tanks. In addition, after the northern Cyprus army deployed considerable TOW anti-tank missiles, Turkey The army thinks that Culion is even more impenetrable.

But this time the tank battalion of the No. 30 Ninth Division was not facing the Cyprus army whose combat effectiveness was far inferior to its own, but a red army from hell.Their torrent of steel once broke the invincible German chariot and planted the red flag on the top of the Reichstag.They also produced the August [-]st military exercise that shocked the entire Western world, making all Western leaders believe that the Soviet Union could flatten all European countries within a week.

A steel troop formed by T72 main battle tanks moved towards the direction of the town of Kurion, and the turrets were aimed at the northern region.Pedestrians on the road stopped one after another, watching this powerful armored army slowly pass by.

In the 70s, they were the nightmare of the whole of Europe, the proud war gears of the Red Empire.It's just that with the economic downturn in the 90s and the changes in the world situation, these war guards guarding the country had to be permanently sealed in a dark warehouse, and slowly fell asleep like this.

The leader of steel has passed away, but the steel of the leader has always guarded the people.

Those who were eager to fight sat on the roof of the BMP infantry fighting vehicle, and everyone wiped the weapons in their hands in silence. After a while, they will meet their old enemy, the Turkish army.This will be a bloody contest.The hatred accumulated from the third Roman period, and the humiliation of the failure of the No. 11 Russo-Turkish War, all made them strongly hostile to the Turks.

Arkasha threw the cigarette in his hand into the grass, turned his head and said to himself, "We just want to prove that the former Soviet army is not dead, we are still there, loyal to defend their people, forever .”

This was the last glory of the former Soviet army. When Marshal Ogarkov proposed to build a modern army in the army, they knew that their own era had passed.

After the Soviet Union experienced a decade of decline, relations between the United States and the Soviet Union gradually eased.Although the United States tested the Soviet Union's bottom line time and time again, all seemingly tough counterattacks were just sticking to the final bottom line.If Moscow takes another step back, Yanayev will face a divided federal state.

However, for Alkasha, the danger is not the most important thing, the unexpected attack is the key point, the Turkish army is not ready for war, but the Soviet Union has completed the mobilization and deployment in the shortest time, if it happens In war, the Soviet Union will definitely be able to seize the opportunity.Even if the United Nations came out as a mediator, the Soviet Union had already won back the lost territories.

It is precisely because the location of the battle was chosen in the suburbs that the Soviet army was able to give full play to its advantages. The artillery fire was baptized, and the tanks charged in groups, and they captured the Ottoman fortress that the Turkish army was proud of with lightning speed.Plant the red flag of the Soviet Union on the highest spire of the church.

In the Ottoman fortress, there was no sense of urgency before the war. The Turkish army staying in this Ottoman fortress didn't even think that the Cypriot army would come to attack their fortress.This is nothing more than an incompletely built army.According to the commander of the tank battalion of the 39th Division, an army without strong air cover and ground artillery support wants to get through this fortress?It's just an idiot's dream.

The Cyprus Air Force is only equipped with a small amount of Mi-[-] Hind helicopters and some old MiG models. In the eyes of the Turkish army with a complete combat system, they are nothing more than targets for ground air defense forces.But what makes Turkey mind is an air force base that Cyprus is planning to build near the western town of Paphos, which will be handed over to the Soviet military after completion.This incident caused strong reactions from Türkiye and the Turkish people in Cyprus.The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement saying that it would bring this dangerous development to the attention of the UN Secretary-General and the President of the Security Council, and threatened to continue to take necessary measures to deal with the threats facing the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and Turkey.The Turkish leader of Cyprus, Denktash, also warned that as long as Soviet combat aircraft took off from the base, they would never return to that base.Turkish fighters will break their wings.

Faced with such a threat, Moscow has not shown much emotion, but they are ready to teach the Turkish Republic of Cyprus a lesson.

The Turkish chief is still cheering up these ambitious boys, "Take it easy, boys, the Cypriot army may choose to attack Kurion in the next few days, and we will make him unable to drive a single tank back! Victory belongs to Turkey , belongs to the Ottoman fortress! The Cypriot army and the Greek regime behind them are not to be feared at all. What's more, we have ambushed an armored force in the countryside five kilometers away. When the Cypriot army passes through the only passage, it will be their death .”

As soon as the words fell, the correspondent walked up to the officer with an ugly face, and whispered to the battalion commander, "It's not good, battalion commander. The army in ambush was counter-ambushed by the enemy."

"what?"

The battalion commander stood up immediately, and walked into the tent with a livid face. The staff and staff in the tent turned their heads to look at the battalion commander, and automatically and consciously gave way.He picked up the walkie-talkie and said to the troops on the other end, "What's going on?"

The voice on the other end of the intercom sounded very anxious, and the noise of explosions disrupted the communication.But the battalion commander could barely hear what the other party said.

"We were surrounded, ambushes, ambushes turned into counter-ambushs. God, there were Soviet tanks everywhere, forming a steel ring, attacking our ambush forces from all sides, and the powerful M24 Hind is attacking us with air strikes, call for backup!"

As soon as the voice fell, after a burst of loud noise that could tear the eardrums, the walkie-talkie returned to calm.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, at a loss.

"This is the elite of the Turkish Tank Battalion, and the opponent can actually use open space to coordinate operations. When did the Cyprus Army reach this level?" the battalion commander of the 39th Division Tank Battalion murmured.

Of course he didn't know that it was not the Cypriot army that was confronting the Turkish tank battalion, but a real Soviet Red Army.

After experiencing the contest in Afghanistan, the cemetery of the empire, the Soviet Union's counter-ambush tactics became more mature.Forced to use combat troops to escort convoys in Afghanistan.At the beginning of the war, a support team consisting of two tanks, two armored personnel carriers and two maintenance vehicles is usually dispatched to act together with the supply convoy.The convoy is usually led by tanks and armored personnel carriers, and when it enters the guerrilla zone, it will be escorted by a formation of 4 Mi-24 or Mi-[-] Hind helicopters.

The Soviet army first sent helicopters to conduct reconnaissance on both sides of the road ahead. After receiving the report from the helicopters, the convoy began to move forward.If the advancing convoy encounters roadblocks and ambushes, or suspects that the other party has set up an ambush, the armed helicopters, tanks and all artillery will first concentrate their fire on areas where the guerrillas may be hiding.

In this way, the Turkish tank battalion was directly forced out of the prototype by the rocket launchers of the Soviet Mi-24 helicopters and the artillery fire of the tanks.

"Immediately send a tank company for support. I want to rescue this army before it is wiped out. Quick!"

The battalion commander gave orders to his subordinates in a panic. He knew that these tank drivers were the trump cards of the Hell Armored Battalion. Once they lost them, the nickname of the Hell Armored Battalion would be meaningless.

"What kind of character is the other party..."

The battalion commander slumped on the chair, even his fingers were trembling uncontrollably.

Chapter 564 Breaking Down the Fortress

By the time the supporting M60 tank company arrived at the scene, the battle had already ended, and the destroyed tanks were deployed ten kilometers northeast of Kurion.Burning armor, blasted gun barrels, and Turkish tank units that were wiped out by the whole system.All show that there was a fierce battle here.The surrounded Turkish tank company fought until the last M60 tank was wiped out, leaving no survivors.

All tricks are useless against Soviet armor that believes in range and caliber.

The air waves overturned the surrounding trees, and the scorched land exuded a scorching heat.These Turkish troops seem to be fighting the terrible demons from Hell. In the burning chariots there are scorched hands trying to escape from the nightmare, and their unrecognizable human faces are facing the sky, trying to make a final effort and struggle.

"What happened here? Why was the Cyprus army able to wipe out the entire Turkish army?" If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, the driver of the Leopard [-] could hardly believe what he saw.What kind of terrifying armored force is this to wipe out all the elites they deployed in Cyprus.

The company commander surveyed the terrain and roughly judged the enemy's ambush method, "The enemy's surprise attack angle is very tricky. After detecting the ambush of this army, part of it went around to the rear of the Turkish armored forces, trying to conduct an encirclement battle. However, the Turkish army was attacked by rockets. From the intercom at the beginning, we could also hear the enemy’s helicopter being mentioned when the company called for help. This directly disrupted the rhythm of the ambush army. Finally, in the case of being surrounded, the Turkish army It's no surprise that it was wiped out by the establishment."

"Can the Cypriot army do this?" Someone among them asked weakly, not to mention the synchronization of air strikes, even the coordinated operations of infantry and tanks, the Cypriot army may not be able to do it.Such a perfect cooperation between the various arms, could it be that Greece dispatched elite troops?

"The army in Cyprus definitely can't do it, it's just..." the company commander hesitated for a moment. Logically speaking, they shouldn't have evacuated so quickly. The company has almost rushed to the ambush site at the fastest speed since the accident. .However, they were still one step too late. The opponent didn't even have time to clean up the battlefield, and left after the massacre.

"Could it be that their purpose is not to reinforce the troops at all? They haven't even thought about encircling the spot for reinforcements? Logically speaking, the number of armored troops capable of conducting a counter-ambush war will never be less than a company."

The more the company commander thought about it, the more unbelievable it became. When he saw the direction in which the tracks extended, he suddenly came to his senses, and the gloom on his face became more and more obvious.

"I understand, it's just that they want to divert our attention." The company commander suddenly came to his senses, he turned his head to look in Kurion's direction, and said in panic, "The target was not us from the beginning, It's Fort Culion, they're just trying to divert our attention."

"Hurry up!" the captain yelled, "Everyone return to Curleon, hurry! Their target is not us, but Curleon!"

When Kurion was still in a relaxed state, the blizzard rockets had already aimed at the Ottoman fortress that the Turks were proud of.The reason why they are not worried about the army of the Cyprus government is that they do not have a war machine capable of destroying the fortress.The deployed Dow and Stinger missiles are sufficient to deal with any incoming Cyprus tanks.

So they never expected that the Soviet Union would bring tornado rockets, a weapon that could change the situation of the war.In an instant, this petty conflict was elevated to the level of real mechanized warfare.The appearance of rockets means that the attacking armored forces can advance to the target under the cover of barrage, and at the same time, Mi-24 helicopters provide air fire cover for themselves.

The six Red Tornado rockets on the position have already aimed at Kurion. The weapons covered by large-area artillery fire do not need to worry about accuracy. If the enemy can still resist after the first round of strikes, change the position and try again. The rounds of artillery fire washed the ground until the opponent lost the ability to counterattack.
