Chapter 594 The hard battle to reorganize the 39th Division
On the Chinese position, the infantry battalion's four-meter 75mm mountain cannon, six-meter 81mm mortar, and eight-meter heavy machine gun were ready to fire. Since the Chinese troops were condescending, the blow to the Soviet army was fatal.
"Three hundred meters, Commander SH quickly issued the order.
Following the battalion commander¡¯s order, the heavy weapons company¡¯s mortars, mountain cannons, and heavy machine guns began to fire.
Eight heavy machine guns organized a powerful firepower network, causing the charging Soviet troops to pay a heavy price, and the six-meter mortar fire made it impossible for the Soviet soldiers to escape, and more than 30 people died on the spot.
The twenty-seven-tinged light machine guns of the three infantry companies supplemented the firepower of the eight-tinged heavy machine guns in the dead zone.
The Soviet attack was intercepted. The hundreds of officers and soldiers who charged during the charge have now suffered more than a hundred casualties. Several heavy machine guns were also hit by mortar shells, and they were all turned into scrap metal. Faced with such a blow, the battalion commander did not have any confidence to continue the battle. He was already prepared to retreat. However, looking at the friendly troops in the distance who were still fighting, the Soviet battalion commander did not dare to be the first to fight. After giving the order to retreat, we could only bite the bullet and continue the attack.
The soldiers screamed as they watched the infantry in front being hit and paying a heavy price.
Especially when I saw a Soviet soldier who was hit by a heavy machine gun and his body was cut in two by bullets, his legs began to tremble involuntarily.
¡®Cannonballs. ¡¯ Fadeyev shouted coldly.
The recruit had no strength left and collapsed on the ground, because the blood of the dead soldiers in front had flowed down from above. The recruit's feet were covered in blood, and not far from him, there were several The eyes of the Soviet soldier who died tragically were so wide that the recruit suddenly lost all strength.
Fadeyev frowned tightly as he looked at the new recruits. He quickly took out a shell and fired it at the heavy machine gun in front.
But the shells hitting the position did not cause any damage to the heavy machine gun.
"Get up quickly, they are going to fire artillery shells." Fadeyev hugged the mortar, shouted loudly, and quickly ran to the side.
The recruit also realized something and quickly rolled aside.
A 75mm mountain artillery shell began to fire towards here, but the ammunition box left by the recruits here was detonated.
Fadeyev looked at the recruit in the distance angrily. He wanted to go over and teach the recruit a lesson, but he suddenly felt a pain in his head and fell to the ground. Device: no ads, full text, updates
The defensive battle of reorganizing the 19th Division was very beautiful.
They relied on the mountains to build solid fortifications, using mortars and mountain cannons to form front-line artillery support, and Assault Tiger tanks and howitzers to form rear support artillery. The positions on the front line were covered with various machine gun fire points, relying on solid fortifications to attack Soviet soldiers.
Often even a single heavy machine gun can block the attack of a Soviet infantry battalion. In addition, the reorganized 19th Division is a Category A division with more than 50,000 troops. Division Commander Mo Shujie only deployed seven infantry regiments on the front line, leaving the Soviet Army's three infantry divisions and one artillery division without any Progress.
"Completely opposite to the reorganized 19th Division, the positions of the reorganized 39th Division have already fallen into hard fighting.
In just one hour, the reorganization of the 39th Division cost an infantry regiment one casualty.
The Novosibirsk Front dispatched a tank corps and an infantry corps to continuously attack the positions of the reorganized 39th Division. The reorganized 39th Division did not have any geographical advantage, but it fell into a bitter battle. Among the three infantry brigades, one infantry brigade was lost. The remaining two infantry brigades had lost their combat effectiveness, but faced an attack by a Soviet tank corps and an infantry corps with more than 60,000 people. The troops had already suffered heavy casualties, and the position was about to be lost.
"General Fu Zuoyi, the casualties of the troops are too great. We need reinforcements. If there are no reinforcements, the position may be lost before two o'clock in the afternoon." Fang Riying, the commander of the reorganized 39th Division, held the phone and shouted loudly.
"Commander Fang, the troops must hold their position. I will contact the superiors immediately and send reinforcements to you." Fu Zuoyi replied quickly.
"Divisional seat, out of the forty-five tanks in the tank battalion, there are only fifteen Tiger tanks now." The chief of staff came over from outside and shouted loudly.
The phone in Fang Riying's hand suddenly fell to the ground.
The troops of the tank battalion are the only ones in the reorganized 39th Division that can fight Soviet tanks, but these forty-fiveIt is not easy for the tank force to persist until now, facing the attack of 200 tanks of the Soviet tank army, as well as anti-tank destroyers and anti-tank guns.
"Order all brigades to engage in combat." Fang Riying quickly issued the order.
The frontline position, above the anti-tank gun battalion position.
Thirty-six men of 88mm anti-tank guns now only have six men. On the distant position, a large number of Soviet tanks are already burning, but these burning tanks have become cover for the Soviet infantry. , providing a good cover for the infantry's attack.
"At nine o'clock, four Soviet tanks, armor-piercing shells, and sh company commanders shouted loudly.
The six-m¨¦n 88mm anti-tank gun fired quickly, and the shells quickly left the barrel and fired at the Soviet tanks in the distance.
Four Soviet tanks immediately made violent explosions, but the position here was already exposed and was hit by Soviet artillery. The last six men of anti-tank guns were all destroyed. An anti-tank gun battalion, In the end, less than 200 people survived.
The battle ahead is still going on. Fifteen Tiger tanks are neatly arranged in front of the position, preparing to launch their last charge.
In front of them, there were more than 70 Soviet tanks, and behind the tanks, there were more than 30 tank destroyers.
"Attack." The major battalion commander gave the order.
Fifteen Tiger tanks began to activate and attacked the Soviet tanks.
Ten of the Soviet T-34 tanks rushing at the front had been destroyed by the firing of the Tiger tanks. The attacks of the Soviet tank destroyers at the rear also caused attacks on the Tiger tanks. Ten Soviet tanks were also attacked. The military T-34 tank detoured to the wings of the Tiger tank and attacked the tracks of the Tiger tank.
One by one, the Soviet tanks exploded, but as time passed, the fifteen Tiger tanks began to take hits one by one, completing their final mission.
" shRiying put down the telescope and shouted loudly.
The last resort of the reorganized 39th Division, the artillery of the two howitzer regiments, began to fire.
Forty-eight men of 150mm howitzers and thirty-six men of 105mm howitzers immediately launched a fire attack.
Some Soviet tanks were hit, causing violent explosions.
Gradually, the Soviet army could not withstand such a blow and began to withdraw from the battle.
As the Soviet troops withdrew from the battle, thousands of artillery shells once again launched a blanket bombardment against the positions of the reorganized 39th Division.
Headquarters of the Novosibirsk Front.
Chernyakhov looked at the previous report with an angry expression on his face. His troops were all the most elite, with three tank corps, six infantry corps, two air defense forces, and two The aviation force, but now, so many troops, facing a position guarded by an infantry division, have been attacking for two days without any progress, which made him very angry.
"We have suffered more than 4,000 casualties and lost more than 100 tanks. The tank army responsible for the main offensive has now lost its combat capability. Are you considering replacing them with other troops?" the chief of staff walked to Cherny. Next to Yahov, he whispered.
"Let them continue the attack. They must break through the Chinese troops' positions. Once they break through the positions, the other two tank corps will take on the main offensive task and quickly occupy the entire territory of Shetukhan." Chernyakhov He said coldly.
"But" The chief of staff wanted to say something else, but after looking at Chernyakhov's eyes, he immediately closed his mouth.
"What's going on with the Air Force Group?" Chernyakhov looked at the map and asked displeasedly.
The chief of staff looked at the document and said cautiously: "There are no problems with the Air Force for the time being. We have destroyed more than 50 Chinese aircraft. In addition, the Air Defense Group has also destroyed 20 Chinese Air Force aircraft."
Chernyakhov had a smile on his face and nodded with satisfaction, but didn't say anything.
Peiping, Presidential Palace.
Yang Junran frowned tightly as he looked at the message from Fu Zuoyi.
Now the troops of the first combat group have arrived outside the country and are ready to join the battle at any time. But Yang Junran did not want to use fueling tactics and let his troops bear the blows of the Soviet army one by one.
"President, the situation in the reorganized 39th Division is very critical. We need to make arrangements quickly." Fang Hanqin looked at Yang Junran and said, even Fang Hanqin did not expect that such a problem would arise in the reorganized 39th Division, so he had to interrupt Just returned fromYang Junran came back from Harr Province.
"President, there is an urgent call from the outer garrison area. The reorganized 40th Division of the Chechen Khanate was attacked by the Soviet army. The two sides are currently in a state of war. He came over with a message and looked at Yang Junran and said.
Yang Junran frowned tightly, walked to the map, and looked at the outside with a worried expression on his face.
"Now the Soviet army is divided into three groups and has launched an attack on foreign enemies. Their troops are at least about one million. It seems that Stalin has invested a certain amount of money this time. They are bound to win the foreign enemies. Counting the first battle We already have more than 700,000 troops in the cluster, but these troops may not be enough to compete with the Soviet troops." Fang Hanqin looked at the map and said to Yang Junran.
Yang Junran nodded, looked at Zhang Zhizhong and said: "The Ninth Corps guarding Peking will immediately go to Waimeng, and the Fourth Corps of the Second Combat Group will be mobilized to go to Waimeng. With the Fourth Corps, the 40th Division will be reorganized , the 41st Division is the right-wing corps, serving as the garrison of the Chechen Khan Division. It is under the unified command of the commander of the 4th Corps, Yu Jishi, and is equipped with an artillery brigade and an anti-tank artillery regiment. The 9th Corps is reorganized into the 39th Division, and the 42nd Division is the central corps. It serves as the garrison of the Tushetu Khan Department and is under the unified command of General Chuxi Chun, commander of the Ninth Corps. It is equipped with an artillery brigade, two anti-tank artillery regiments and three armored anti-tank artillery regiments. The 19th Division was reorganized into the First Corps. The 20th Division was reorganized to serve as the left wing garrison, under the unified command of General Huang Baitao, commander of the First Corps, and attached to an artillery brigade and an anti-tank artillery regiment."
After a moment of silence, Yang Junran continued: "The Second Corps, the Third Corps, and the Armored Corps are the strategic reserves, and they are unified under the command of General Wei Lihuang. The Waimeng garrison commander Liu Zhi is responsible for coordinating supply issues, and the Waimeng deployment six The air force is commanded by Wang Zhifei, Deputy Minister of the Air Force."
"Yes, President." Zhang Zhizhong saluted quickly and walked out.
