Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The battle to ambush the Third Army of the Soviet Far East Front on the west bank of the Urez River, commanded by Lieutenant General Liu Tiehan, deputy commander of the Independent Division and commander of the East Point, finally started more than an hour later than originally planned.

    The Soviet soldiers who were marching were sitting on a truck that was bumpy like a boat in the wind and rain. While they were drowsy, the shells of the large-caliber howitzers were smashing down on their heads. The truck where the avant-garde troops were riding,  They were riddled with holes by dense light and heavy machine gun bullets. The companions around him fell at their feet with blood holes all over their bodies. The truck not far away flew into the sky with a loud noise and a flash of fire, together with the soldiers.  .

    Only then did the Soviet soldiers realize that the battle broke out inadvertently. The troops of the Soviet Far East Front were indeed the troops that had been fighting with the Japanese Kwantung Army for several years in the Xing'an Mountains. The Third Army even fought with the 18th Division of the Kwantung Army.  The regiment has fought against each other many times and never fell behind.

    After the first wave of shells exploded, the soldiers were very experienced in combat. From the initial panic, they immediately reacted. Without the commander's order, the infantry jumped out of the truck, lay down nearby, took out the engineer shovel, and risked their lives.  After digging the fortifications, the artillery unloaded the artillery from the artillery truck and built the position on the spot. Artillery observers braved the roaring shells and began to determine the coordinates and orientation of the independent division's artillery position.

    Commander Aslanov's order was conveyed to all units in the shortest possible time. His order was undoubtedly correct. The area near the west bank of the Urez River had been hit by artillery shells from the Independent Division.  It has become a sea of ??fire. If you order the troops to retreat at this time, you will undoubtedly send groups of living targets to the artillery of the independent division. Before your own artillery has no ability to fight back, you can only be bombed!

    It¡¯s even worse to stay where you are.  The artillery of the independent division will not let go of every corner of the battlefield. Now it is attacking its own rearguard. After a while, the artillery shells will fall where they are. This is a matter of common sense. The only thing that can be done is to attack.  Mix with the infantry of the independent division to minimize the damage caused by artillery fire to the troops.  In his hands is a full army of more than 40,000 people.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away.  That Tang Qiuli would bring out hundreds of thousands of people to beat him, not to mention.  dozens of kilometers behind.  There were also hundreds of thousands of troops from three armies. Thinking of this, Commander Aslanov calmed down.

    After holding up the telescope and observing the battle situation for a while, he said to a staff officer beside him: "Send a telegram to the headquarters and report to the commander, Deputy Chief of Staff Yemenchenko. Our Third Army is about fifteen kilometers deep on the west bank of the Urez River.  area, was ambushed by the independent division troops, and the battle is ongoing. I have ordered the troops to attack in order to break through the enemy's ambush circle! "

    After thinking for a while, he continued: "Judging from the intensity of the enemy's artillery fire, this is one of Tang Qiuli's main regiments. Please ask the intelligence department to quickly verify the troop number, commander's name, etc.! Send the telegram at the same time.  To the General Staff Headquarters.¡±

    On the west bank of the Urez River, in the East Point Command Headquarters, Li Guangjin, Director of the Operations Division, reported to Liu Tiehan: "Report to the deputy division commander, the frontline troops called, the Soviet infantry dug fortifications on the spot, and the lethal effect of our frontline troops' firepower was reduced.  In addition, the Soviet army dispatched about a brigade of tanks to cover the infantry assault on our forward positions! "

    Liu Tiehan snorted coldly and said: "The reaction is quite fast! He counterattacked now. He was a veteran. He ordered the rocket launcher group to cover the Soviet tank column, blowing these iron turtles into scrap metal, and ordered the forward troops to use mortars.  Artillery, bombard the Soviet temporary positions. I want to see how the Soviet army can hold on in the field! Can it withstand a few of my artillery shells? Tell the artillery group to continue to intercept the Soviet army's retreat. At the same time, pay attention to the Soviet artillery's counterattack.  Give them a chance to fire cannonballs!"

    More than two hundred Soviet "T34" tanks were divided into three echelons, arranged in a wedge formation. Behind each tank, there was a squad of Soviet infantry, facing the East Pointing troops on a front more than ten kilometers wide.  position, swooping over.

    At this time, the gunfire on the forward position of the East Point troops suddenly stopped. The Soviet soldiers, who were unable to raise their heads due to the rain of bullets and could only lie in a shallow trench, suspiciously poked their heads out of the temporary trench.  Head, looking at the light and heavy machine guns that were howling like the wind just now, why are they mute?

    The ground behind them was trembling. The Soviet soldiers turned around. In the darkness, the sound of tracks crushing the soil came, and the tank guns fired shells "dong-dong". Listening to the Soviet soldiers  In the ears, it was so friendly, "It's our tanks coming up!" The Soviet soldiers cheered and were excited. These invulnerable steel monsters, the light and heavy machine guns of the Chinese army, what prestige can they achieve?

    Before the cheers dissipated, the sky above our heads suddenly burned like fire. It was so bright that you could see the astonished faces of your companions. Then, there was a "chirping" sound.The screams were continuous, making people's hearts tighten, and the flames came in a row, facing each other. The experienced Soviet veterans dared to swear in the name of Comrade Stalin that it was definitely not any  A kind of artillery shell, God knows, what kind of weapon is that of the independent division?

    The fire fell, like a furnace of boiling molten iron, pouring down head-on, covering the Soviet tank column, and rising into seas of fire. The Soviet tanks burned into balls of fire in the sea of ??fire, and there was a "Boom!"  There was a loud sound, and the ammunition inside the tank exploded, blowing the tank to pieces. The fire was accompanied by black smoke and shot straight into the sky. The Soviet infantry accompanying the tank attack was turned into a puff of ashes in the sea of ??fire!

    The Soviet soldiers looked at all this in stunned silence. More than 200 tanks were all over in the blink of an eye?

    However, the Soviet soldiers had no time to be surprised. Groups of mortar shells, like black storks, hit their heads. They were the East Point forward troops. The power of thousands of mortars fired in volleys, and clusters of fire flashed.  Shrouded in the open grassland, shrapnel roared, irregular metal shrapnel rotated, cutting the bodies of Soviet soldiers wantonly, how could a shallow temporary trench withstand the dense mortar shells.

    There were no safe corners at all. Mortar shells were roaring everywhere, forming a wall of death composed of metal shrapnel in an area more than 3,000 meters away from the forward position. The bodies of Soviet soldiers were exploding.  In the sound, it was broken into pieces and thrown into the air again.

    The scene of mortar bombardment is far less shocking and spectacular than the scene of howitzer and rocket launcher bombardment, but it is better than the dense one. The actual killing effect is no worse than that of large-caliber howitzers and dense rocket launchers.

    Large-caliber howitzers shelled the Soviet army in depth, rocket launchers hit Soviet tanks and group targets, and mortars bombarded the Soviet infantry close to the position. Artillery of various types, calibers, and ranges were organically arranged together, like a clever  Like a boxer, he gave the Soviet army a beautiful combination of punches!  Punch to the flesh, remember to fly blood!

    The independent division troops that have been fighting all year round have reached a superb level of use of artillery. The Dingbian Military Academy specializes in studying artillery of various types, calibers, explosive power, and ranges, and how to cooperate to achieve the best artillery fire.  The research room on strike effects formed a complete artillery fire strike system and put it into practice in various field corps.

    Tang Qiuli, the top military and political officer of the independent division, felt that the Chinese army had always been at a disadvantage in terms of firepower when fighting foreign armies in history. He was determined to change all this, attaching great importance to the troops' heavy weapons and equipment, and was willing to invest a lot of manpower.  , material and financial resources decisions are inseparable.

    "Well done!" Liu Tiehan shouted when he saw more than 200 Soviet tanks turned into piles of scrap metal in just ten minutes. While marveling at the power of the rocket launchers, the headquarters was filled with excitement.  A wooden pillar was shaken, causing the soil on the ceiling to fall down, splashing all over his head and face.

    Shaking his head and shaking off the dirt, Liu Tiehan probably felt that he had lost his composure. Liu Tiehan suppressed a smile and ordered: "Guangjin, order the rocket launcher group to cover the depth of the Soviet position. The artillery brigade will continue to blockade Urez."  On the west bank of the river bridge, the Second Artillery Brigade, fight back until more than half of the Soviet troops are killed. The infantry is not allowed to attack without my order. We have artillery, rocket launchers, and mortars. There is no need to fight with Lao Maozi on bayonets.  What the division commander said makes sense, don¡¯t use guns if you have cannons!¡±

    "Comrade Commander, there is a call from the avant-garde division. The tank brigade that went out was attacked by the independent division and covered by unknown firepower. The whole army was wiped out! More than 200 tanks, not a single one was withdrawn! The avant-garde division was attacked by mortars.  Artillery bombardment, heavy casualties," a staff officer lay in Commander Aslanov's ear and shouted loudly. The sound of artillery was deafening. If you don't shout loudly, you can't hear anything.

    "What?" Commander Aslanov's expression was dull, and cold sweat broke out on his face involuntarily. He was wondering what was going on with the sea of ????fire in front of him. It turned out that it was to bury one of his own.  The graveyard of the tank brigade,

    "Unidentified firepower? God! How many trump cards do the cunning Chinese have yet to show?" He lamented in his heart. Tanks were his only assault force. Without this fist, how could he break through the ambush circle of the independent division troops?  ?

    Mortar?  The Chinese even used this weapon, which had long been eliminated in the Soviet Red Army, to play a role. At this time and here, it was used to fight the infantry who were exposed in the wild and without the protection of fortifications and trenches. The effect was undoubtedly the greatest and most effective.  Vicious.

    The commander of the independent division unit opposite was a cunning and insidious opponent. His control of the rhythm of the battlefield and the use of weapons and equipment were frightening. A shudder struck Commander Aslanov's heart.  Before his eyes appeared the scene of his own soldiers, their flesh and blood flying everywhere in the smoke of exploding shells falling like raindrops.
