From the position of the 136th Division, looking at dozens of old Maozi tanks a few hundred meters away, they were like piles of torches burning with blazing fire. Everyone's face showed excitement.
Of course, as the commander of the 136th Division, Xie Yunhui, the leader of this small-scale annihilation war, of course, he has a spring breeze and a smile on his face.
"Division Commander, of the 60 rocket launcher teams, except for the twelve teams, or more than twenty people, that were lost to the attacks of Lao Maozi's tank guns and vehicle-mounted machine guns, the remaining 48 teams all withdrew safely. As for our forward positions, we have ordered all engineers to lay mines in accordance with the order, and we are waiting for the arrival of the main force of the Soviet Union."
"According to statistics, the Lao Maozi Pioneer Tank Battalion had a total of 18 heavy tanks, 16 medium tanks, and one command vehicle. None of them slipped through the net and were all destroyed As for the number of people who eliminated Lao Maozi, calculated based on the number of tank crews, at least One hundred and fifty people were lost" Chief of Staff Wang Dong reported with excitement.
"It's just an appetizer for a heavy tank battalion It seems that our appetizer has been good. Now the morale of the soldiers has been boosted" After glancing at the high-morale subordinates, the division commander Xie Yunhui said with emotion.
After looking at the watch on his arm, Xie Yunhui¡¯s smiling face suddenly turned serious. Facing the chief of staff in front of him, he directly ordered: "Old Wang If nothing else happens, Lao Maozi's main force is about to arrive Tell brothers, be happy and don't forget to prepare for war From now on, the whole division will enter Level one combat readiness, ready to fight at any time."
"Yes, sir"
A heavy tank battalion, faced with the attack of the Chinese Army, was completely destroyed before it had time to send out a telegram asking for help. In the eyes of Major General Ivanov, this is almost impossible.
But, this happened right before our eyes. And it happened under his own command.
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Major General Ivanov got out of the command vehicle and wanted to see what happened. He was frightened by dozens of blazing steel monsters a few hundred meters away and his face turned pale.
The troops fought and won consecutively. After continuously breaking through the two lines of defense of the Chinese team. The troops he commanded unexpectedly lost a heavy tank battalion without knowing why. This is tantamount to worsening the situation for the tank brigade, which has already suffered heavy losses. Of course, this is not the most important thing. In such a good situation, facing the defeat in front of me, as the supreme commander, I. What kind of punishment will you receive from your superiors?
"There is only one way to avoid punishment and let the news of the complete destruction of a tank battalion disappear automatically, and that is to win a big victory." All the losses of this tank battalion should be attributed to this victory.
Thinking of this, Major General Ivanov, who was still a little worried just now, immediately confirmed his decision in his heart. With the force in hand, he completely captured the Chinese position in front of him. Use an unprecedented victory to wash away your shame.
After taking a deep look at the dark Chinese blocking position a few hundred meters away, Major General Ivanov asked directly to the tank brigade commander Colonel Vadim who was waiting for orders in front of him.
"Comrade Vajim, can the tank brigade continue to undertake offensive assault missions"
Facing the chief of staff¡¯s sharp eyes full of murderous intent. Colonel Vajim, who thought about the current situation of the tank brigade, wanted to refuse. However, I think of the strict hierarchy in the army, the political commissar system of the Red Army, and the thoughts expressed by Chief of Staff Ivanov along the way. He spoke directly against his will.
"Yes, Chief of StaffAlthough the tank brigade has lost two-fifths of its tanks. However, the great Red Army warriors have never been afraid of any enemy. I believe that the remaining tanks of the tank brigade will survive the great Red Army warriors. In our hands, we will definitely be able to break through any blocking position in front of us Please give the order to the Chief of Staff"
Vadim¡¯s promise against his will made Ivanov feel a lot better. After a brief reflection. He turned to the other brigade commander, Colonel Ivangia, and asked: "Comrade Ivan, where is your First Infantry Brigade? Is there any problem?"
"Reporting to Comrade Chief of Staff, there is no problem with the First Infantry Brigade Comrade Chief of Staff, please issue combat missions. Our great Soviet Red Army will definitely be able to tear apart any line of defense in front of us" Ivanji, a former political commissar Colonel Ya. He replied with a proud look on his face.
"Very good In that case, let's let the Chinese team on the opposite side know that the great Soviet Red Army is invincible."
"Now I order: The tank brigade, the first regiment of the first infantry brigade, immediately launch an attack on the opposite squadron and open a breakthrough The two and three regiments of the first infantry brigade will be commanded by me personally, and they will follow closely. Later, expand the results"
¡°Great Red Army warriors, let us win through this great victory.??Revenge for the fallen warriors¡.¡±
On the dark grassland, the remaining more than a hundred tanks of the tank brigade began to transform from the original marching formation into the current fan-shaped attack formation under the control of the brigade commander, Colonel Vajim. At the same time, under the command of commanders at all levels, an old man from an infantry regiment was assigned to the rear of each tank in squad and platoon units
Although the Soviet Red Army in the Far East did not really participate in World War II, more than ten years of military training had already brought their various military qualities to the top. The only thing they lacked was actual combat experience.
Faced with the dispatches of commanders at all levels, in less than ten minutes, a huge frontal attack formation appeared directly in front of the 136th Division's blocking position.
"Commander, Lao Maozi is about to attack" Although the dark night blocked the view of both the enemy and ourselves. However, the beams fired by Lao Maozi's more than a hundred tanks directly revealed his true purpose to his opponent.
Relying on the knowledge he learned at the National Defense University, combined with his understanding on the battlefield, one data after another kept blurting out from the mouth of Chief of Staff Wang Dong.
"Commander, Lao Maozi's frontal attack is about five hundred meters wide. There are more than fifty tanks in the first row. The distance between each tank is about ten meters"
"Commander, Lao Maozi's offensive group has begun to advance towards our army's position"
"Boom, boom, boom" A dense explosion sounded from the battlefield ahead, and balls of fireballs spewed out from nearly a hundred gun barrels. In less than two seconds, balls of orange-red fireballs began to rise into the sky on 136's already empty forward position. At the same time, the sound of dense shell explosions also came over.
"Reporting to the division commander, Lao Maozi has begun shelling our forward positionthe distance is 900 meters"
"It's finally begunorder the No. 1 artillery position to start shooting according to the predetermined target" Xie Yunhui ordered with excitement.
"Woooooo" A series of sharp whistling sounds sounded in the air, and thirty-six caliber artillery shells fired by an artillery regiment quickly flew towards the 900-meter shooting area in front of the blocking position
As one fireball after another began to rise into the sky, the violent explosion of artillery shells also sounded on the battlefield. More than a hundred heavy tanks that had just rushed into the shelling area were hit by several before they had time to react
"Boom, boom, boom" A series of more violent tank explosions sounded on the battlefield. At this time, several tanks hit by artillery shells instantly turned into a ball of fire. Even those that were not directly hit by the shells, several tanks were directly overturned to the ground by the huge air waves generated by the explosion of the shells.
"Heavy artillery is the Chinese heavy artillery Hurry, rush over, rush through this shelling area, the Chinese heavy artillery has nothing to do with us Red Army warriors, speed up and rush over"
"Rumble" As soon as Major General Ivanov's order was issued, a louder roar of tanks sounded on the battlefield. More than a hundred tanks tried to break through the shelling area at their fastest speed.
"However, what all the old Soviet thugs didn't expect was that a bigger trap was waiting for them right in front of them.
"Commander, three rounds of shooting, a total of 12 Lao Maozi tanks were destroyed"
"The Lao Maozi tank cluster has passed through the No. 1 shooting area and has all gathered in the No. 2 shooting area" Chief of Staff Wang Dong reported in a very timely manner.
"Old Maozi has been arrogant for so long, and now it's finally our turn to be arrogant Order two, three, and four artillery groups to concentrate their firepower and hit me hard" Mayor Xie Yunhui ordered loudly as if he had a bad breath. ¡.
"Boom, boom, boom" More than a hundred large-caliber artillery, as if they were free of charge, fired large-caliber shells weighing dozens of kilograms into the predetermined area at their fastest firing speed.
In less than half a minute, a huge area with a frontal width of more than 500 meters and a length of more than 100 meters was shrouded in intense artillery fire. Groups of huge orange-red fireballs, like fireworks blooming in the dark night, continued to swallow up tanks that were already in panic
"Goodwell done" Xie Yunhui, who clenched his fists, couldn't help but clap his hands when he saw the old Maozi tanks being torn into piles of scrap metal by the shells in an instant.
As for Chief of Staff Wang Dong, who was standing next to Xie Yunhui, he was counting the number of tanks that were being destroyed under the light of the fire
"Fifty tanksfifty-six tanksseventy-two tanks" After less than five minutes of concentrated fire strikes, in a small shelling area, there was almost no tank that could continue to carry out activities. .
And at this moment, we are also paying attention to every move on the battlefieldThe division commander Xie Yunhui gave the order in a very timely manner: "Order, tank regiments and infantry to attack immediately and annihilate Lao Maozi's troops in front of you Artillery, concentrate fire on Lao Maozi's follow-up troops, and start counterattack"
"Yes, sir"! ~!
