Soviet Union 1991

Text Chapter 298: Twenty-four Hour War

Second update

Everything was settled after the meeting. After intense discussions, all parties finally reached a consensus.

The formal ceasefire agreement will take effect 24 hours after the meeting. At that time, neither Croatia nor Serbia can continue the war, otherwise it will be regarded as a serious violation of international law. The United Nations army will have the right to severely strike and sanction it.

When signing the agreement, German representative Putt showed an imperceptible smile. This is also part of the German plan. It may be better than nothing to buy 24 hours for Croatia to counterattack, but don’t forget that German Chancellor Kohl has agreed to a special operations plan of the Ministry of Defense.

Using the German army to help Croatian soldiers regain territory, although the Serbs attacked the Croatian army fiercely, they were still too immature in front of the Germans. After all, compared with the old European powers and the small Eastern European countries, the former is better than the latter in every aspect.

"The Serbian army is just a bunch of rabble. We can assist the Croatian army in carrying out a blitzkrieg and conquer Serbia's weak defense line in one fell swoop. Since we suggested that the Croatians shrink their front line, Serbia's defense line has been stretched. We can take advantage of this opportunity to launch a surprise attack on these guys."

"This will not only disrupt their deployment, but also recover a large area of ​​territory. Don't forget that only after the formal armistice agreement takes effect, the territory under the feet of the troops will truly belong to you. What they have now is just a deposit." Cole said to Titumman.

"It will take effect 24 hours after the meeting. Don't think I don't know what those Germans are thinking." After listening to Kozlovich's answer, Yanaev, who was standing by the window sill, began to calculate the next move of the Germans. He raised his left hand and glanced at his watch. The pointer now showed 11 o'clock in the morning.

"Just like the last stage of the Korean War, the battle for territory between South Korea and North Korea took place overnight. In other words, within 24 hours from now, whoever attacks the most unexpectedly and occupies the most territory will be the final winner. Germany wants to use this trick to let the Croatian army win back a game. It's really well-intentioned. I think their border troops should start to mobilize urgently now. Have you notified Karadzic?"

"He said he understood." Kozlovic said.

"But there is a problem. That is, the Bosnian Serb army's front line is too long. If it is just a defensive position, it will be quickly broken by the opponent. Only attack is the best defense." Yanaev sat down and thought about this problem slowly. There is also a more serious problem facing the Serbs.

"But they don't seem to have extra troops to move forward. If the front line is too long, it will restrict the troops and logistics." Kozlovic's reply was also helpless.

"And do you think their opponents are just the Croatians? If I'm not mistaken, a certain country will also provide secret support behind the scenes, maybe not too many people. But in the face of such a scarce and defeated army, even if there are only a thousand people, it can improve the overall situation." The first thing that came to Yanaev's mind was Kohl's gloomy and cunning face. He was weighing the possibility that the German military intended to secretly intervene in this war that only lasted for 24 hours.

The possibility is very high, and Germany should be conducting an unexpected blitzkrieg ambush.

"I think we have to make the Germans realize who their opponents are, and immediately let the guys in the Ministry of Defense mobilize military forces to intervene in this dispute. I wonder if the Germans can still compete with the Soviet army on the battlefield?"

The Germans have a number of allies in Eastern Europe, but the Soviet Union only has Serbia and the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina left in Eastern Europe. If even these two are lost, then the Soviet Union can only abandon the network of relationships that it has built for decades, withdraw from the European struggle, and find other ways to break the NATO encirclement.

So the Soviet Union cannot lose.

Almost soon after the meeting ended. The Soviet Union's highest armed forces received a special message today. According to the order of the top leaders, a paratrooper unit must be secretly dispatched to Bosnia and Herzegovina for special operations. Just like the little green man incident on the Crimean Peninsula, it is a rapid assault force.

The soldiers sent there belonged to the Independent Guards Airborne Assault Brigade. They took the form of radio silence on the way to Bosnia and Herzegovina on a large transport plane. Even those soldiers did not know where they were going to be sent. Only at the moment before the parachute did they know the mission, to go to the border where the Bosnian Serb army and the Croatian guerrillas were fighting, to provide armed support.

All the badges symbolizing their identity were taken off, and even the camouflage uniforms were a brand new one. Different from the digital camouflage of the domestic army. Taking advantage of the cover of night, they jumped from a high altitude. Following the airborne operation of the BMP3 infantry fighting vehicle, after falling rapidly from a high altitude, the twelve parachutes of the paratrooper infantry fighting vehicle opened in order, like a huge dandelion floating in the sky. It's just that they are steel chariots that bring death.

The sound of artillery bombardment lit up the dark night, and the final battle finally began.

Yanaev had discussed the issue of air strikes with Karadzic before. The Soviet troops were only responsible for some cities with weak defenses to provide cover for the Serbian army's attack. They must not let the enemy's troops plant the flag of victory over the city of Sarajevo when they were about to recover the entire territory.

But it was obvious that Yanaev's judgment was correct. Just when the war was getting intense. A mysterious force almost tore through the defense line of the Bosnian Serb army and stabbed directly into the heart of the Serbian Republic like a sharp blade. Such an action was more like a surgical precision strike.

The night not only concealed their actions, but also blocked the enemy's figure. The assault brigade stationed in Sarajevo wrapped the entire city like a steel ring, waiting for the mysterious enemy to come. The commander could almost determine that the Germans' revenge must be directed at Sarajevo.

And the revenge would not be a small move, and it was estimated that the Serb regime would be subversively destroyed.

"We deliberately lure the enemy deep into the territory and let them target Sarajevo. Is that really a good idea?" Before the operation began, Karadzic had deep doubts about Yanaev's special operations plan. The Russians were considering deliberately creating loopholes to allow Croatia, or the so-called "foreign mercenary group", to go directly into the core area and annihilate them in one fell swoop near Sarajevo.

"Believe me, President Karadzic, this operation is the best way to prevent Croatia from having a chance to fight back. When we eliminated their elite troops, the formal ceasefire agreement has come into effect. They no longer have the ability to counterattack at the last minute. Even if they want to start a war again in the future, it will take a long time to recover."

"As for the Germans who may be mixed in, leave it to us to deal with them. As for you, just attack steadily. They would never dream that we would set up such a big game to wait for these people, and when they take the bait..."

Yanaev did not finish his words, but Karadzic already understood what was going to happen next.

"So it was the Serbian army that finally annihilated this team. The Soviet Union has never sent soldiers into Bosnia and Herzegovina, let alone been involved in wars. Do you understand?" Yanaev wanted to make those Germans who were waging secret wars lose shamefully.

"Of course I understand, General Secretary Yanaev."

With the sound of "RPG", the armored personnel carrier in the front was hit by a rocket. Under the flickering fire, the Soviet army saw that this was a group of soldiers wearing Croatian uniforms but using German armored vehicles and guns. They hurriedly counterattacked in the direction of the rocket launch, and encountered almost no resistance along the way, which made these people lose their vigilance.

The Germans were confident that this was a perfect plan, but they didn't expect that they had already set up a scam behind the mantis. The Soviet troops attacked this group of sharp blades inserted into the heart from all directions in the form of an encirclement, and the gun barrel of the BMP3 infantry fighting vehicle was aimed at the group of Germans who were still fighting back desperately.

In an instant, dozens of kilometers away from Sarajevo, it seemed that the Soviet-German War was repeated again. However, this time the Soviet army made full use of the terrain to layout and wiped out this group of people.

The flames shot up into the sky, and there were flickering sparks everywhere. Under the effect of tracer bullets, the flying bullets pulled a flame in the air and shot towards the direction of the assault army. The fear of being surrounded was imprinted in the hearts of every soldier. They all had the same idea in their hearts, whether they would die here.

Even their commander was afraid, and he was not as calm as when he just broke through the defense line. Isn't it said that the Serbian army is a group of rabble? Why is the combat effectiveness of this group of guys almost catching up with the elite troops of the Soviet Union?

The shouting was chaotic, with German and Croatian. This group of people seemed to be in a mess. While fighting back, they fled towards the gap that had not been closed. At this time, the Soviet Union suddenly received an order from its superiors when it was about to complete its deployment to let the remaining Germans go. It was a very strange order, but they had to execute it. After annihilating most of the people, the remaining fleeing soldiers chose to give up and re-close the front to prevent the enemy from invading again. After the sound of gunfire and artillery fire echoed throughout the night, they finally died down before dawn. (To be continued.)
