Soviet Union 1991

Second update

The town of Kurion has entered a state of high alert. The Turkish and Northern Cypriot armies have fortified the town in an attempt to turn Kurion into an Ottoman fortress. Garrisoned in this town was the tank battalion of the 39th Turkish Division that invaded Cyprus that year, and was also called the Hell Armor unit in this war. The Turkish troops in Cyprus developed it into an elite armored battalion in Cyprus. Except for a small number of Leopard II tanks, the rest are m60 main battle tanks. In addition, after the Northern Cyprus army deployed considerable TOW anti-tank missiles, Turkey The army believed that Kurion was even more impregnable.

However, this time the tank battalion of the 39th Division faced not a Cypriot army whose combat effectiveness was far inferior to its own, but a Red Legion from hell. Their torrent of steel once broke through the arrogant German tanks and planted the red flag on the top of the Reichstag. They also created the August 1st military exercise that shocked the entire Western world, making all Western leaders believe that the Soviet Union could overthrow all European countries within a week.

A steel troop formed by T72 main battle tanks advanced towards the town of Kurion, with the turret aimed at the northern area. Pedestrians on the road stopped one after another and watched this powerful armored army slowly passing by.

In the 1970s, they were the nightmare of the entire Europe, the proud war gears of the red-bottomed empire. However, with the economic downturn in the 1990s and the changes in the world situation, these war guards who guarded the country had to be permanently sealed in dark warehouses, and slowly fell asleep like this.

The leader of steel has passed away, but the leader's steel has always protected the people.

Those who had been eager to fight sat on the roof of the BMP infantry fighting vehicle. Everyone wiped the weapons in their hands in silence. After a while, they will encounter their old enemy, the Turkish army. This will be a bloody battle. The hatred accumulated from the Third Roman period and the shame of the failure in the Eleventh Russo-Turkish War all made them strongly hostile to the Turks.

Alkasha 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, loyally protecting their people, forever. ”

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

After the Soviet Union experienced a decade of decline, U.S.-Soviet relations 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, danger is not the most important thing. A surprise attack is the key point. The Turkish army is not ready for war, but the Soviet Union has completed mobilization and deployment in the shortest time. If it happens, In the war, the Soviet Union will definitely be able to seize the opportunity. Even with the United Nations acting as a mediator, the Soviet Union had already won back the lost territory.

Precisely because they chose the location of the battle in the suburbs, the Soviet army was able to give full play to its advantages, baptize artillery fire, charge in groups of tanks, and capture the Ottoman fortress that the Turkish army was proud of with lightning speed. The red flag of the Soviet Union was planted on the highest spire of the church.

There was no sense of urgency in the Ottoman fortress as before the war. The Turkish army staying in this Ottoman fortress did not even think that the Cypriot army would 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 force cover and ground artillery support wants to get through this fortress? It's just a fool's errand.

The Cyprus Air Force is only equipped with a small amount of Mi-4 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 worries Turkey is an air force base that Cyprus is preparing to build near the western town of Paphos, which will be handed over to the Soviet military after completion. This incident triggered strong reactions from Türkiye and the Turkish Cyprus community. The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement stating that it would bring this dangerous development to the attention of the United Nations Secretary-General and the President of the Security Council, and threatened to continue to take necessary measures to deal with the threats faced by the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and Türkiye. 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 fighter jets will break their wings.

Faced with such a threat, Moscow did not show much emotion, but they were ready to teach the Turkish Republic of Cyprus a lesson.

The Turkish chief was still encouraging these ambitious young men, "Take it easy, young men, the Cypriot army may choose to attack Kurion in the next few days, and then we will not be able 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 afraid at all, not to mention that we also ambush an armored force in the countryside five kilometers away. When the Cypriot army passes through the only access road, it is their death. ”

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

"What?"

The battalion commander immediately stood up and walked into the tent with a livid face. The staff members in the tent turned back to look at the battalion commander and automatically and consciously made way for them. 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 walkie-talkie sounded very anxious, and there was also the noise of explosions interfering with the communication. But the battalion commander could barely understand what the other party said.

"We were surrounded, an ambush, the ambush turned into a counter-ambush. Oh my God, there were Soviet tanks everywhere. They formed a ring of steel and attacked our ambush troops from all directions, and there were also powerful M24 Hind helicopters are attacking us, please support us!”

As soon as he finished speaking, after a burst of noise that could tear the eardrums, the intercom returned to calm. Everyone looked at each other, at a loss.

"This is the elite of the Turkish tank battalion, and the other side is actually able to use air and ground for coordinated operations. When has the Cypriot army reached this level?" the battalion commander of the 39th Division's tank battalion murmured to himself.

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

After experiencing the battle in Afghanistan, the graveyard of the empire, the Soviet Union's anti-ambush tactics became increasingly mature. Forced to use combat troops to escort transport convoys in Afghanistan. At the beginning of the war, a support team consisting of two tanks, two armored personnel carriers and two maintenance vehicles was usually dispatched to operate together with the supply convoy. The convoy usually leads with tanks and armored personnel carriers. When it enters the guerrilla zone, a formation of four Mi8 or Mi24 Hind helicopters is dispatched to escort it.

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

The Turkish tank battalion was directly forced out of its prototype by the rocket launchers of the Soviet Mi-24 helicopter and the artillery fire of the tanks.

"Send a tank company immediately for support. I want to rescue this unit before it is wiped out. Quick!"

The battalion commander panicked and issued orders to his subordinates. He knew that these tank drivers were the aces of the Hell Armored Battalion. Once they were lost, the nickname of the Hell Armored Battalion would be meaningless.

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

The battalion commander slumped in his chair, and even his fingers could not suppress their trembling.
