USSR 1991

Page 289

Immediately someone reported to Minashvili that the power plant had been sabotaged by the enemy.

"Damn it, the enemy's ground troops have already infiltrated, maybe they are conducting infiltration operations here." Minashvili grabbed the communicator and shouted a few times.But he found that what responded to him was always just a noisy voice.He grabbed other communicators, and without exception, the same situation occurred, unable to answer.

Fortunately, the command war room has a backup system. Minashvili ordered the command war room to activate its own backup power system to maintain the daily combat plan.

In desperation, Minashvili could only call the guards around him, "The enemy has used an electronic jamming system, and our combat command communication has failed. Now I need a reconnaissance force to detect the weak part of the enemy's encirclement. Then escorted Gorbachev out of Tbilisi."

The guard nodded and walked out the door quickly.

Now every second is the key. Minashvili informed the combat troops to use the terrain to start a guerrilla war with the Soviet troops. The fall of Tbilisi has become a matter of time, so the sooner Minashvili will help Gorba Qiao Fu arranged the way out, and his chances of survival were even greater.

The front line has fallen into a stalemate. Under the cover of Soviet artillery and air strike support, all the fortifications have been destroyed. The Georgian rebels are facing only ruins and a dusty front.

Everyone clenched the rifles in their hands. The elite Georgian rebels had been completely destroyed in Gori. Many of them were militiamen dispatched from the reserves to the battlefield, and some of them hadn't even had time to receive formal military training. .You can only hide behind the bunker and pray that the enemy's attack will not be too fast.

A deafening sound came from the smoke in front, and a huge black figure loomed in the smoke.Like a red ghost appearing in the darkness, the turret moved through the smog and moved resolutely in the direction of downtown Tbilisi.

The tank passed through the ruins, directly crushed the vehicle in the middle of the road, and directly turned it into a pile of scrap iron.Any target that tries to block the advance of the tank will be ruthlessly destroyed.

The armored force is to let all the traitors in Tbilisi feel the strength of the Red Army!

The huge figure of the T72 tank appeared in front of those poor people. At this moment, a Mi-24 armed helicopter passed over their heads, and the circling airflow swept away all the smoke. before.

In front of the powerful armored forces of the Soviet army, the trembling militiamen with rifles were no match at all. These soldiers who had not experienced the baptism of war even forgot to shoot. The fear of this moment will always be engraved in their minds.

And wrath from the Soviets!

In 1991, the Soviet armored forces ruthlessly suppressed the rebellion in Georgia and crushed the dreams of the democrats.They trembled in front of the steel tracks, and had no chance of winning.

Today, Soviet tanks and tanks are back on the battlefield.

The traitors in Tbilisi will have a deeper understanding of the nightmare from 1991!

Chapter 645 The Majesty of the Red Army

When the T72 tanks rampantly crossed the streets of Tbilisi, the rebels felt what it means to be powerless.The assault team consisting of eight T72 tanks, six BMP3 infantry combat vehicles and two Tunguska air defense systems has already made the defenders of Tbilisi helpless.

As soon as any firepower points trying to delay the assault team's attack were found, the scouting motorized infantry company in front began to guide the army's tank units to attack. First, the Tunguska air defense system and vehicle-mounted machine guns began to move towards the top of the enemy's entrenched building. The frenzied strafing, a series of exploding cannons hitting the buildings and splashing dust reflected a spectacular scene.Then, the 100mm artillery and 72mm machine guns of the BMP infantry fighting vehicle fired uninterruptedly at the middle building, overwhelming the opponent. Finally, eight T[-] tanks bombarded the artillery fire at the bottom of the building, in a cloud of dust. In the ruins and ruins, the buildings were cleared layer by layer by combat infantry.

Under the powerful artillery fire of the Soviet army, the Georgian army had almost no power to fight back.Not only that, the ground combat troops keep in touch with the Soviet bombers and armed helicopters that have been circling over Tbilisi through portable digital communication equipment, and transmit data and intelligence to the bombers and armed helicopters.At the same time as the air strike, it can also provide real-time images of the battle loss assessment of the designated strike target, providing a basis for the command to carry out another air strike.

In addition, the GRU special team ambushed near the planned bombing target in advance, using laser irradiators to guide the Su-34 to use precision-guided bombs and the 2S35 self-propelled artillery to use guided shells to carry out precise strikes on the target and determine the strike effect.The new combat method replaced the old carpet bombing and improved the combat level of the Soviet army.

This is an unequal war. The highly informatized Soviet combat troops have their own views on the Georgian rebels whose combat communication methods are almost still in the Cold War period.

The entire sky over Tbilisi is full of Soviet bombers, attack aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft and armed helicopters. Although the Tbilisi army has deployed some anti-aircraft missiles, the impact on the overall situation is too weak.Soviet fighter jets can easily fool these old-fashioned missiles with heat lures, and then launch an air-to-ground missile in the direction of the missile launch.There was no sound after that.

The Georgian army tried its best to stop the advance of the Soviet army, so that they needed to keep shrinking the front line to ensure that they could delay the advance of the Soviet army for a while.

No one can stop the advance of the Soviet army. Georgia is just a mayfly trying to shake the tree in front of the Soviet army.

By the time they finally realized the meaning of this sentence, it was already too late.

The torrent of steel almost submerged most of Tbilisi, and the Georgian rebels were dying step by step.

This time, the 58th Group Army handed over a satisfactory answer for the Soviet Union, and at the same time slapped the few other people in the army who still had resistance to informationized warfare.Marshal Olgakov is already very satisfied with the results of the reform of the Soviet Army. The framework of the Soviet Army Building has been constructed, and the next thing he needs to do is to improve the details.Not only the fist troops of the Soviet Union, but also incorporate all troops into the framework of informatization.

U.S. Secretary of Defense William Perry stole Marshal Ogarkov's military thinking from Ogarkov, and now Marshal Ogarkov has perfected his own information revolution reform from the hands of the Americans.Of course, the high-level Politburo will not forget Ogarkov's previous excessive demands: the Soviet State Planning Commission obeys the General Staff, and even the Council of Ministers, and even Politburo meetings follow the command of the Soviet General Staff.This is quite a continuation of Erich von Ludendorff's total battle.

Therefore, Ogarkov's official career will come to an end with the completion of the reform, and Yanayev will not allow Ogarkov to gain more power.

The war continued, and with the compression of the fronts on all fronts, the Georgian army was on its last legs.The 58th Army of the Soviet Union was fighting with an overwhelming advantage, suppressing the opponent without the slightest ability to fight back.

This time, Gorbachev could even see the scene of Soviet gunships shooting ground troops with 30mm cannons from the window. The shadow of failure hangs over the rebel leader. to.Failure became his inevitable outcome.

Minashvili stood in front of Gorbachev and said worriedly, "I have now arranged for the reconnaissance force to detect the weak part of the Soviet encirclement, and then use the remaining forces in my hands to tear a gap. At that time, there will be a team to escort You escaped from the Caucasus region. Now the Georgian army is shrinking the front line as much as possible, preparing for the final battle."

The subtext is that the Georgian rebels have tried their best, and what Minashvili can do is to delay the failure for an extra minute and a half.

Plekhanov stood aside and did not speak. This was completely different from the ending he expected. Now he has been trapped to death in Tbilisi.It is more difficult to get out of here alive than to reach the sky.

"Is there no chance of counterattack?" Plekhanov asked anxiously. Although he had begun to regret participating in this political turmoil, the current situation could no longer allow him to get out of it.

Minashvili said disdainfully, "Do you want me to give you the command of the army, so you can try?"

Plekhanov shut his mouth immediately. Now the command of the army is in the hands of Minashvili. If the other party is unhappy, he can shoot him at any time.Anyway, they are about to face failure.

Gorbachev sighed and said, "What if there is no breakthrough?"

Minashvili handed the Makarov pistol in front of Gorbachev, and said calmly, "There are two options, one is to become a prisoner of the Soviet army and then sent to the Supreme Court. Sentenced to death, maybe life imprisonment. The other is to shoot yourself before the Soviets can catch you, but it's just a matter of dying."

Either way, it was a nightmare for Gorbachev who had just escaped from the Ural Mountains.

"I will lead the Georgian army to fight to the last moment, this is my end."

Minashvili pushed the glowing Makarov pistol in front of Gorbachev, and said in a cold voice, "So choose yourself, Your Excellency President Gorbachev."

6Chapter 16 Operation Ryan

With the gradual fall of Tbilisi, Troshev also began to have a headache.Because he found that the resistance of the Georgian army has not weakened, but has become more and more tough.In the corners of the streets and alleys, they played guerrilla warfare with the Soviet assault team. They often did not stick to one firepower point, but used anti-tank rockets to shoot tanks on the street from all angles.After the Georgian army was broken into parts, it was slowly leveling its shortcomings.Of course, it still couldn't stop the tragic casualties caused by the gap in strength.

It is clear that there are still six kilometers left to capture the presidential palace, but the Georgian army insisted on blocking the Soviet army's offensive pace for more than an hour.Due to the existence of innocent civilians in the war zone, Troshev did not dare to use rockets and artillery to cover and bomb all buildings.We can only order the army to advance cautiously, not to rush for success, but to reduce losses.

At this time, Chief of Staff Korabelnikov told Troshev about Yanayev's plan at the right time, "Why don't we pretend to give Gorbachev a way out, and then ambush halfway? Lost After the High Command, these remnants of the resisting Soviet troops will also disperse. In this way, we can take the presidential palace without any effort."

"But isn't this a little too risky?" Troshev frowned. He is a conservative who would rather have a little casualties than let Gorbachev, an important target, slip away from his hands. Otherwise, the position of commander-in-chief of the 58th Army Group should be replaced.

"Comrade Troshev said this because he is worried about our electronic information technology?" Korabelnikov stared at the map and said, "Every area here is within the boundaries of Glonass and Lotus Under the surveillance of the Chinese government, our A50 airborne early warning aircraft patrols 24 hours a day, and the Il-21R electronic jammer is responsible for jamming all the systems in this area. Under such circumstances, I really don’t know what Troo Where did Comrade Scheff's so-called 'adventure' come from?"

Korabelnikov lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "And you still don't understand what the central government means? Yanayev wants to see the United States and Turkey look helpless under our electronic interference system. A setback to America's sense of accomplishment."

Korabelnikov grasped what Yanayev was thinking. He really wanted to see Turkey shivering under the new Soviet combat mode. The Gulf War in 1991 had already stimulated the whole world, and the Georgian civil war may trigger a wave of military reforms to follow suit around the world.

"But..." Troshev wanted to say something, but Korabelnikov interrupted him.

"Nothing but, believe me, this is the last great drama of the war in Georgia, an ambush that Moscow and the world did not want to miss. We first created the illusion of disjointed coordination between the various forces, and then Sharma Comrade Novov came out secretly and contacted the informants of the rebels, pretending that he could buy a way out for the rebels at a high price, and let the remnants of the rebels and Gorbachev escape through the gap between the various troops. Go to Turkey. I think Gorbachev will spare no effort to contribute the last of his family property when it comes to surviving."

Troshev finally made up his mind and said affirmatively, "Okay, then Comrade Shamanov will come forward and contact the rebels."

An operation code-named Ryan was secretly carried out inside the supreme command room. Only a small number of high-level officials knew about this operation. Troshev ordered the Il-214R electronic warfare aircraft to stop interfering with the Georgian rebels' communication system. The strike team slowed down the offensive, and the Su-34 bombers also withdrew from the battlefield. The originally intense war gradually cooled down.

Then it was Shamanov who began to make contact with the Georgian commander as a peace envoy.Of course, the contact is secret. Shamanov conveyed to the Georgian commander the secret order of the Supreme Command of the 58th Army. As long as Gorbachev is willing to pay a certain amount of "ransom", they are willing to open the channel a way out.

Of course, the amount of ransom was high, and Gorbachev's money for his life could not be cheap.

In the command room of the Georgian rebels, Minashvili found that the communication system of the Georgian rebels had suddenly recovered, and then he received a very important intelligence message.Shamanov, deputy commander-in-chief of the 58th Army, allowed Gorbachev to leave Tbilisi secretly after paying the ransom.

At first, Minashvili was skeptical about the news, thinking it was a conspiracy set up by the Soviet army to lure Gorbachev.But when he confirmed that it was Shamanov's deputy commander-in-chief, Minashvili's doubts began to dispel.He pondered whether to break the news to Gorbachev.For Gorbachev, this was a complete surprise.But while not fully confirming whether it was a trap, Minashvili did not dare to jump to conclusions.
