On the battlefield under continuous artillery fire, the remaining ten tanks of the Soviet heavy tank brigade were dodging back and forth among the rain-like shells, trying to break through the fire zone formed by the shells.
Finally, after paying a heavy price that nearly destroyed the entire army, more than a dozen tanks, which had been blackened by artillery fire, headed by the brigade commander Colonel Vajim, finally broke out of the shelling range and appeared in front of the 136th Division position.
However, what Vajim didn¡¯t expect was that he managed to escape by luck. However, the entire tank brigade, more than 90% of its men and tanks, remained under artillery fire forever. What's more important is that among the thousands of infantrymen who followed him on the attack, not a single one of them was able to successfully break out after being bombarded by shell fragments and tank fragments.
However, a greater crisis that Colonel Vajim did not expect came to him once again before he had time to be happy
Before Colonel Vajim could react from his shock, a exclamation came directly from the mouth of the observation post beside him.
"Tanks are Chinese tanksComrade Brigadier, the tanks of the Chinese ** team are dispatched"
????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of the Chinese position that was peaceful just now, there was a huge roar. More than a hundred beams of light emitted from more than a hundred tanks instantly illuminated the remaining ten or so tanks in his tank brigade
"Nohow could this be? How could the Chinese ** Corps have tanks" Although before the war started, he had already known the fact that the Chinese ** Corps was equipped with tanks through intelligence sent by his superiors. However, in their eyes, the backward squadron, even if it is equipped with tanks, is a light tank with very backward performance, not much better than the Imps of World War II. Of course, the quantity of equipment is also very scarce. It is absolutely impossible for hundreds or even hundreds of tanks to appear on the battlefield at once.
But now, the facts in front of me have directly changed my understanding of the Chinese ** team.
but. As the commander of the tank brigade, he reacted immediately after a brief shock.
Since joining the Red Army, Colonel Vadim has never thought of retreating under the education of political commissars at all levels. Facing a powerful enemy, I thought of the dark muzzles of the war team commanded by the political commissar of my rear area. Without any hesitation, he faced the remnant directly. He ordered with a serious look on his face.
"Great Red Army warriors, in order to win, you can only move forward, not retreat. Now I order you to fire immediatelyuse armor-piercing shells to destroy the lagging tank troops of the Chinese ** teamfire"
At the same time, Li Wentian, the commander of the tank regiment affiliated to the 46th Army, also issued an order to fire.
"Comrades, we all have it. Change to armor-piercing shells, target, Lao Maozi tank. Fire"
Balls of orange-red flames spurted out from the muzzle of the tank gun. The hot armor-piercing bullets flew directly out of the long barrel and flew towards their target at a rate of fire of several hundred meters per second.
"Boom, boom, boom" A burst of dense explosions sounded on the battlefield. The medium tank regiment directly under the 46th Army, which fired first, had a caliber of only more than 70 millimeters. However, dozens of armor-piercing bullets hit a Lao Maozi heavy tank at the same time. No matter how thick the armor of the Lao Maozi heavy tank is, it cannot withstand so many armor-piercing bullets at the same time.
Just as the explosions stopped, another burst of explosions followed, ringing out from where Lao Maozi's dozen tanks were. A dozen Laomaozi heavy tanks. After being attacked by more than a hundred armor-piercing bullets at the same time, without any accident, it exploded directly and turned into a huge flaming fireball.
"Commander, we have killed all the heavy tanks of Lao Maozi" At the same time as the explosion sounded, the commander Li Wentian commanded the observers on the vehicle. He immediately let out an excited exclamation.
"If our regiment can't defeat a company of the enemy, then I, the regiment leader, don't have to do this" Commander Li Wentian said with a smile. Immediately, he gave a serious order to the car radio in front of him.
"Now I order the entire regiment to take the company as a unit and conduct a multi-pronged assault to kill the infantry behind the Lao Maozi tank brigade Remember, the word 'quick' must be remembered during the assault and there should be no pause The tank regiment , charge forward"
"Boom, boom" the order was given, and more than a hundred tanks were spitting out thick black smoke, like an angry lion. More than a dozen vehicles formed an attack arrow assault formation, with a battalion of infantry behind them. Like an unsheathed sword, it was inserted directly behind the Soviet tank brigade. Due to the sudden artillery attack, the two infantry regiments of Lao Maozi were completely thrown into chaos.
"More than 150 large-caliber artillery pieces consumed almost 3,000 rounds of large-caliber artillery shells to destroy the Soviet heavy tank brigade. All artillery bombardment targets are turned directly to the distance of the tank.?Two Soviet infantry regiments about five hundred meters behind.
"Boom" A violent shell explosion sounded directly less than ten meters away from the armored command vehicle. Driven by the huge air wave generated by the explosion of the shell, the entire armored vehicle flew directly into the air and was almost overturned and fell to the ground.
Although the armored command vehicle was not directly overturned to the ground, the huge shaking, coupled with the constant rotation to avoid the shells, directly turned the Soviet chief of staff, Major General Ivanov, into a dizzy state.
Ivanov, who had escaped danger again, looked at the increasingly dense artillery shells outside the carriage. Before he could speak, the voice of the infantry brigade commander beside him came over.
"Comrade Chief of Staff, it is too dangerous inside the armored vehicle In order to ensure the perfection of the unit command system, please transfer immediately and leave the armored vehicle"
The entire heavy tank brigade was wiped out, an infantry regiment disappeared in an instant, coupled with the violent explosions of artillery shells on the battlefield, the Red Army soldiers kept screaming. The chief of staff, Major General Ivanov, had already lost his determination to continue fighting. When he heard the steps given to him by the infantry brigade commander, he directly agreed without any hesitation and ordered to the guards around him.
"Immediately abandon the armored command vehicle, order the troops to withdraw from the battlefield immediately, quickly, retreat"
"Yes, Comrade Chief of Staff"
However, what Major General Ivanov did not expect was that when he wanted to retreat, the opponent 136th Division had not given him the opportunity to retreat.
The nine sharp swords divided into the tank regiment directly under the army took less than a minute to insert directly into the battlefield that was already in chaos.
The violent explosions of artillery shells have just stopped, and the smoke shrouding the battlefield has not completely dissipated. More than a hundred medium tanks appeared directly in front of all the old Soviet soldiers.
"Comrades, for the sake of your dead comrades, for the sake of victory, open fire hit me hard and eliminate the old man in front of you kill" the regiment leader Li Wentian roared, and personally controlled a truck-mounted heavy machine gun, targeting A few hundred meters away, facing a few old Soviet men in a daze facing him, he pulled the trigger of the heavy machine gun.
"Click, click, click" A dull sound of machine gun fire sounded, accompanied by bullet casings falling at the feet. A few old men who were standing in front of the tank just now were shot and fell to the ground, turning into corpses
"Attention all tanks, attention to all tanksmaintain formation, keep formation, don't stop, continue to assault, continue to assaultInfantry behind, speed up, keep a safe distance" Regiment leader Li Wentian looked at Outside the tank, Lao Maozi's position was filled with shock. What's worse, the Soviet Red Army had begun to flee. While pulling the trigger in his hand, he kept harvesting Lao Maozi's life. While speaking into the radio, he ordered decisively.
Facing the sudden steel torrent composed of more than a hundred tanks from the Chinese ** team. In order to facilitate the attack at the beginning, and Major General Ivanov, who boasted that he had a heavy tank brigade to rely on, he did not carry any anti-tank weapons at all. Facing the medium tanks of the Forty-sixth Army that were constantly spraying out dense rain of bullets, and facing the subordinates who were already routing around them, even if he dispatched to supervise the battle team, he could not change everyone's morale. As the chief of staff, Major General Ivanov can be said to have a death wish.
Looking at the sudden changes in front of him, he knew clearly what kind of ending was waiting for him after the defeat of this battle.
Facing the fleeing subordinates, even though he was frightened by the battle situation in front of him, his face turned pale. Major General Ivanov still suppressed the fear in his heart, quickly took out several grenades from a soldier's body and wrapped them around his waist. He gave the order with a farewell look on his face to the guard who was still doing his duty faithfully.
"Comrades, there are only Red Army warriors who died on the battlefield, and there are no cowards who fled Now I order you to launch a counterattack immediately and use grenades to block the counterattack of the Chinese *** team"
After saying that, Major General Ivanov, as the chief of staff, directly raised the grenade, faced the direction of the tank regiment, roared, and rushed over first.
¡°Ula¡Ula¡.¡±
With Chief of Staff Major General Ivanov taking the lead, there were quite a few Soviet veterans who followed suit. One after another, the Soviet Red Army, as if they were not afraid of death, shouted the slogan of charge, held up grenades, and rushed towards the direction of more than a hundred tanks.
"However, what makes these old men feel aggrieved is that they face the dense steel storm fired by more than 200 vehicles with heavy machine guns. No matter how commendable your courage is, no matter how many old fools launch a counterattack. It never broke through the fifty-meter safe range of the tank
A Soviet infantry brigade was swept away by more than a hundred medium tanks from a tank regiment directly under the military headquarters, and the outcome of the battle was without any surprises. ?Except for the more than 800 people who surrendered on the battlefield, all the remaining officers and soldiers were killed, and no one escaped.
