Big Time 1958
v1 Chapter 715: Assault on Constantinople
Snapped! Lighting a cigar and taking a deep breath, Serov looked intoxicated. So far, he has not been able to confirm whether the war is officially started or not. Many Soviet troops have not yet participated in the war. Whether the Turkish Air Force has been wiped out or has slipped through the net will not be known until the daytime battle.
"Have a meeting to discuss, seek opinions from allies, protest, and threaten war. After these steps, you can still give me a certain amount of time. Even if you come, just wait and collect the corpses for the Turks. Haha..." Shelov picked up The phone looked at the time and ordered, "Now the hidden purpose is meaningless. We have taken an important step in history. It is now 6:30 Moscow time. The battle during the day will determine the fate of our motherland and nation. History has chosen us. , in the face of fate, we are duty-bound, we have blood on our hands today, and in the future our children will live in peace forever, comrades, now I declare the second part of the Soviet goal, the capture of Constantinople."
"Let's fight, Soviet soldiers are not afraid of death." Shelov's orders were issued to the military districts and army groups, followed by divisions and regiments. Only in daytime battles can the greatest strength of the Soviet Union be exerted, and the real war can only be said to have just begun.
In his heart, Serov had to compare this war with the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in history. Of course, it was the first stage of the Afghan war, that is, the first week of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. During this stage, the east and west roads met in Kandahar. Within a week, the Soviet army basically completed the occupation of Afghanistan's major cities and major transportation routes, and took control of important border areas between Afghanistan and Pakistan, and between Afghanistan and Iran. Since the Soviet Union dispatched 100,000 second-line troops to occupy a country similar to Turkey's territory, there is no reason why 500,000 Soviet troops would not be able to take down Turkey. With their preparations for more than ten years, it is definitely more adequate than the Soviet Union's temporary decision to attack Afghanistan. The Soviet army in the Caucasus is an important direction after the Western cluster, and it should be better than the Soviet army in Afghanistan in history.
"This is war. Is the Soviet Union ready for a world war? The United States and the free world will never allow the Soviet Union to do whatever it wants. This is hegemonism. If the Soviet Union stops now, it will be too late, otherwise it will be destroyed.": The U.S. ambassador to the Soviet Union was tough, hoping Moscow would take note of the importance of this.
Gromyko's robot-like expression did not change at all. Since the United States can still protest, maybe there is still some talk about things, at least in a short period of time. Gromyko understands his role is to fight for it. time. As long as he drags on for a while and waits for the Soviet Union to complete its goal, no one can change this established fact.
Gromiko remained motionless, listening to the protest of the American ambassador, but he didn't hear anything. In fact, Dobrynin, the Soviet ambassador to the United States, like him, was being summoned by the American government. Like the last Cuban Missile Crisis, the Soviet Union sold the Ministry of Foreign Affairs again, but this time, it did not sell Gromyko together, which is a bit more restrained than during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Although this made Dobrynin very embarrassed, compared to Constantinople, a small embarrassment is no longer within the consideration of the Soviet Central Presidium. To this day, Gromyko still remembers the scene of the original vote. Before Brezhnev's statement, Sherepin and Sherester had just reached half of their approval, while Kosygin and the others would not approve. Finally Brezhnev cleared his throat and said in a low and dignified voice, "I decided to kill him!"
"Dear Ambassador, I don't know about this matter. It's the opinion of the military and the powerful department. Like you, I just learned about it." Gromyko said slowly in his robot-like voice. "I'm sorry about that."
"Mr. Foreign Minister, do you think I'm a good liar?" the US Embassy in the Soviet Union sarcastically asked.
"Now I'm not very clear about this matter. Now I need to go to the Kremlin to find out. I believe, you will not object. After all, this involves the safety of the whole world." In my heart, the world war is no joke. The American ambassador instantly felt that he had a great responsibility, and realized the feeling of Dobrynin twelve years ago.
Up to now, the news of the Soviet Union's attack on Turkey is still limited to the level of the government and the military, and has not leaked to the people. But it will be leaked sooner or later, I just don't know if the secret time is twelve hours or one day.
The calm Black Sea does not seem to be disturbed by the war in the night. It is still the same as usual, but the coastline that is usually full of people is told to clean up these days before it can be opened, but in fact, when the visibility is good during the day, this kind of The reasons simply cannot convince the people that the Black Sea coast is a relatively densely populated area of the Soviet Union, and people soon discovered clues.
The huge fleet of transport aircraft in the sky and the track marks on the coastline made some active people speculate whether something happened, but they were immediately warned by the pesky KGB not to spread rumors.
The Black Sea is so big, and it is impossible for the people to be completely unaware of the situation in the sky. When the day just arrived, the Soviet Union invested in an aviation division for the first time. , behind them is the 98th Airborne Division of the Guards carried by the An-12 transport aircraft, and other airborne troops from the Transcaucasus will also arrive later.
Since World War II, there has never been such a large-scale airborne. Two hundred An-12 transport aircraft transported nearly 30,000 Soviet airborne troops and the paratroopers they needed.
"Hey, the White Bandit Army is a group of black crows who want to put us under our feet. From the coast of England to Siberia, the Red Army is the most powerful in the world. Red Army soldiers, polish your bayonet and hold your guns tightly. We All should be more tenacious in the war, and die on the battlefield with the enemy. Die on the battlefield. Poor Chinese, unfortunate Indians, looking at our alliance with hope, from the British coast to Siberia, the most powerful Red Army in the world."
The song and dance troupe that accompanied the army in the southern Soviet Union lined up neatly with high music to see off the soldiers passing by. Many soldiers who passed by, although they said nothing on the surface, clenched their fists tightly under their sleeves.
"Directly under the artillery division, covered by fire, we took the city down with one charge, and treated it as Washington, destroy, destroy!" Admiral Ivanov shouted into the phone, "No one can be on the ground. Block the great Red Army,"
"Long live the motherland! Fire the artillery." With an order, dense artillery shells flew into the sky, the entire artillery position was shrouded in black smoke, and the ground seemed to be shaking. The multi-barrel rocket battalion is also firing, igniting, one by one rockets, coming out of the launch tube, the airflow at the rear covers the entire car body, so that the rockets fired later can't see the ignition at all, only can Seeing that in the white smoke, the rocket pierced the smoke and flew forward!
Colleagues covered by firepower, the bombers directly under the southern cluster also appeared in the sky at almost the same time, and Constantinople was below. Heavy bombs from the belly of the aircraft continued to fall. This is a carpet without technical content. bombing. Make sure that the Turkish positions are taken care of.
The falling heavy bomb exploded on the ground. At first, I could see something, but immediately huge white smoke enveloped the Turkish defense line. This is the powder of cloud bombs. The explosives rely on themselves to provide oxygen when the detonation reaction occurs. When the cloud explosive bomb explodes, it makes full use of the oxygen in the atmosphere in the explosion area, so the cloud explosive charge of the same mass has much higher energy than the explosive, and it can also form an oxygen-deficient area within the scope of action. People suffocate to death.
The destructive effect of fog detonation on the target is mainly due to the overpressure and temperature field effects generated by the detonation, as well as the scouring effect of high temperature and high pressure detonation products. Since the cloud detonation consumes the surrounding oxygen, an oxygen-deficient area can be formed within the scope of action, suffocating the creature to death. The resulting explosion shock wave can destroy a large area of military targets. The detonation wave is reflected and superimposed between the walls, and the overpressure value is much higher than that in the open space, so the killing effect of the cloud bomb is more effective in the confined space.
On the right bank of the Dardanelles, the Fifth Army of the Soviet Air Force was also carrying out the same bombing, and the fighter jets even risked descending to fire machine guns on the Turkish soldiers on the ground, which would have violated the operational doctrine. However, the pilots of the Soviet Air Force could not take care of so much at this time. They had to clear the obstacles for the upcoming airborne.
"We will soon reach the coast of Turkey, inform the comrades behind, get ready for airborne, the time is up." The driver said to the co-pilot next to him, "Our red dandelions will bloom in Turkey, long live the motherland..."
"Comrades, I have the honor to fight side by side with you. This is destined to be a war that will go down in history. Let's teach NATO **** how to fight." The colleague who spoke, behind the airborne troops, the hatch of the transport plane has been slowly opened.
Putting on a gas mask, the captain first walked to the front of the hatch, he wanted to watch these paratroopers jump out of the sky. "Airborne troops, future motherland, Ullah..." In the field not far east of Constantinople in the bureau, among the transport aircraft of the Soviet Air Force, one after another huge umbrella flowers bloomed in the air. The Soviet Union aimed at Constantinople. The mass airborne has begun. While the paratroopers slowly landed, the transport aircraft behind them did not stop, the hatches opened wide, and the paratroopers chariots slid from the transport aircraft. (To be continued~^~)
