Chapter 347 Hilt's Little Thoughts, Pursuing the Balku Oil Field
The Tsarist Russian people in the entire city were running for their lives. They had only one goal, which was to get out of the city.
The Tsarist Russian army was also maintaining order for the evacuation of the people, and all roads out of the city were blocked.
At an altitude of 1.5 meters above the clouds, tiny ice crystals float in the thin air of the stratosphere.
48 Tu-160 strategic bombers pierced the indigo sky in a wedge formation.
The titanium alloy belly of the aircraft reflected the morning light with a cold blue halo, like a group of white swans spreading their wings.
"Click——"
The sound of the bomb bay hydraulic lock was barely audible at an altitude of ten thousand meters.
The wide bomb bay with a capacity of 45 tons of ammunition began to release the messengers of death.
The first wave of released special bombs fell with white trails, and the whistling sound caused by the friction between the fairing and the air gradually increased, like the god of death plucking rusty strings in the clouds.
At one thousand meters above the ground, the delay fuse starts working.
The steel shell of the special incendiary bomb broke into a dense layer of bullets.
The mixed charge of thermite and white phosphorus is rotated and scattered under the action of centrifugal force.
In an instant, the vast urban area below was covered with a fire rain net with a diameter of more than ten kilometers.
The city was also engulfed in flames.
The Tsarist Russian people trapped in the sea of fire looked at the approaching fire helplessly with despair and fear in their eyes.
The screams, shouts and curses of fear merged into one, as if they were making a final protest to the god of death.
Then more and more bombs fell.
In the million-ton steel plant, more than ten towering open-hearth furnaces were covered by falling high-explosive bombs.
Molten steel at thousands of degrees Celsius broke through the explosion-proof wall and flowed freely on the streets of the factory, carrying molten silicon bricks.
The workers who were still working under the "protection" of the Tsarist Russian army did not even have time to scream before they were melted into a ball with the boiling metal solution.
Ammunition manufacturing plants were also covered by dozens of satellite-guided bunker-buster bombs.
The tandem penetrating warheads penetrated the thick protective layer of the ammunition factory, and flames instantly spread inside the factory.
The bullets, gunpowder, and shells that were being assembled were ignited in the flames, and the spectacular explosion like a volcanic eruption spread throughout the entire factory area.
Balls of dazzling flames continued to rise into the sky, razing the surrounding area to the ground.
The entire industrial area of Yekaterinburg was engulfed in explosions.
48 White Swan strategic bombers carried more than tons of bombs, all of which were dropped in just minutes.
The entire city was practically on fire.
Flames and thick smoke rose slowly.
The dust covered the sky and enveloped the city.
The mixed group of Tu-95 strategic bombers and B-52H strategic bombers, which set off together with the White Swan but arrived an hour late, finally arrived.
More than 200 strategic bombers hung over the city like a moving steel cloud.
Dense bombs fell like raindrops.
This time the bombing was not only targeted at the industrial area, but the entire city, including residential areas, was carpet bombed.
There are no civilians in war. This sentence has always been kept in mind by every Wehrmacht soldier.
The corresponding sentence is that kindness does not command the army and righteousness does not command wealth.
Civilians in the enemy country can become soldiers who take up arms at any time. Being merciful to the enemy is a contempt for the lives of soldiers.
The whole city is burning, crying, wailing...
This day was like the end of the world for the city of Yekaterinburg.
The Tsarist Russian soldiers were all huddled in the underground bunker and trembling.
In just one day, the Cuban Air Force dispatched more than 300 strategic bombers to carry out carpet bombing on Yekaterinburg, destroying at least half of the city.
The bombs dropped exceeded 5000 tons.
Until ground troops arrived, the Air Force would carry out endless bombing raids on the city, flying at least 100 sorties every day.
It is to do everything possible to destroy the resistance of this military fortress, and at the same time destroy the confidence of hundreds of thousands of Tsarist Russian defenders.
Let the mood of despair continue to envelop these hundreds of thousands of defenders and weaken their resistance.
The ancient country's defense army swept across Siberia and the Central Plains, and time passed.
The Hans Wehrmacht was also making great progress.
However, the speed of the Hans Wehrmacht's advance was getting slower and slower, and the resistance was getting greater and greater.
But the Russian capital of Mosgrad was getting closer and closer to the Hans Wehrmacht.
However, at this time, Prime Minister Hilt began to mobilize troops to the south to support the Southern Army Group, wanting to occupy the Baku oil field area first.
The defenders in the Caucasus Mountains put up extremely fierce resistance, and Hans's armored forces were simply unable to perform on this terrain.
Therefore, Hans had to give up his armored advantage and fight with the Tsarist Russian troops in the mountains, resulting in heavy casualties.
In just half a month, the Hans Wehrmacht suffered more than 20 casualties.
Tsarist Russia also suffered more than 30 casualties.
This also shows how fierce the resistance of Tsarist Russia was.
The two sides were fighting a war of attrition here, and the Caucasus Mountains became a meat grinder for both sides.
Hilt had his own considerations for withdrawing troops to the south when the Russian capital was approaching.
Because the Baku oil fields are right next to the northern territory of Persia.
Persia is one of the ancient country's staunchest brothers and a member of the East Asian Trade Organization.
There was an ancient army garrison in Persia, with a strength of more than 100,000 troops.
Although there are mountains blocking the border between Persia and Tsarist Russia, the terrain is much better than the steep Caucasus Mountains.
If the ancient country launched an attack on Baku from the Persian border, the distance of less than 200 kilometers would be almost within reach for the ancient country's defense forces.
It was for this reason that Hilt was extremely anxious, especially after receiving the news that the Southern Army Group's attack was slow, he started cursing.
France was fighting and Tsarist Russia was also fighting, so he could only withdraw troops from the Central Army Group, which had the largest number of troops, and move south.
Jiang Hua is still very interested in the Baku oil fields.
This is a super oil field with reserves of nearly 15 billion tons. It would be a lie to say that we are not interested in it.
Since Hans' attack was thwarted, it is also an opportunity for the ancient country.
"Contact Hilt and see if we can cooperate to acquire the Baku oil field, with each party taking half and jointly developing it."
Although there is nothing wrong with directly occupying the Baku oil fields, it will lead to a direct conflict of interest with Hans, which is not conducive to the current cooperative relationship between the two parties.
There is no need to fall out with Hans over an oil field with reserves of only a few billion tons.
So I think Hans would be able to accept that the two sides could jointly develop the Baku oil field.
After all, with their current offensive, it is still unknown how much it will cost to take over the Baku oil fields.
Regardless of how many casualties it would require, to Hilt, this was just a string of cold numbers.
The key point is that this will delay their attack on Mosgrad.
As long as they can take this city, the entire European territory of Tsarist Russia will be theirs. Hilt has his own measure of importance.
Faced with the olive branch extended by the ancient country, Hilt's expression was uncertain.
After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to cooperate with the ancient country.
As long as we can take over the Baku oil fields, we will be able to obtain a stable oil channel.
Hans no longer had to worry about running out of fuel.
Although Hans' coal-to-oil industry can provide millions of tons of fuel every year, this is far from enough for the huge Hans.
What's more, by opening up a land route to Persia, Persia can directly transport refined oil to the front line of the eastern front troops.
This is also an important factor in Hilt's agreement to cooperate.
