In the mighty march of the forward follow-up force of the Soviet Far East Army, in the compartment of the armored fighting vehicle that serves as the headquarters of the entire force, after receiving the request for help telegram from the forward Major General Ivanov, the forward commander-in-chief Lieutenant General Toski A deep sense of uneasiness arose in the general's heart.
As the entire forward got closer and closer to the battlefield, Lieutenant General Toski's inner uneasiness became more and more intense. .
Seeing that there was still no movement from the radio station around him, Lieutenant General Toski, who was slowly showing an anxious look, directly asked: "Communications staff officer, haven't you contacted Comrade Ivanov yet?"
"Reporting to the division commander, there is still no response from the chief of staff's radio station In addition, we have lost contact with the 1st Infantry Brigade and the Heavy Tank Brigade. Even the regimental radio station below has not been contacted" Communications Staff Officer He replied with a cautious look on his face.
"We have all lost contact Could it be that our forwards have really been wiped out by the Chinese ** team" After hearing the other party's answer, Lieutenant General Toski's mind immediately emerged that even he himself Incredibly bold ideas.
However, just when this idea came to his mind, Lieutenant General Toski, who had full confidence in the Soviet army, comforted himself with a firm face.
"No, it's absolutely impossible According to intelligence, the Chinese ** team on the opposite side only has one corps at most According to the organization of the Chinese ** team, if this army can equip a heavy artillery regiment, it will already be the main force of the Chinese ** team. Wowhow can a Chinese ** team equipped with only one heavy artillery regiment be the opponent of a heavy tank brigade of the great Soviet Red ArmyIt is absolutely impossible for the forward troops to be wiped out by the Chinese ** force"
However, thinking about the growing uneasiness in his heart, out of caution, Lieutenant General Toski once again played the on-the-spot recording by the communications staff officer. He did not know how many times he had listened to Ivanov's radio call for help, hoping to get it from him. I can see some clues and clues
"Comrade Division Commander, our forward was ambushed by artillery fire from the Chinese ** Corps, and the heavy tank brigade was almost completely lost. The battle has been lost The tanks of the Chinese ** Corps are not good, the Chinese ** Corps is equipped with a large number of tanks anti-attack Tank guns, dispatch anti-tank guns immediately to block the Chinese tanks. Hurry blast"
Hearing this, the unfinished call was suddenly interrupted due to the intervention of external forces. Obviously, anyone with a little bit of military knowledge would know that Major General Ivanov must have been suddenly attacked by Chinese tank troops in the process of asking for help. The call for help has not yet been completed. Just because of the explosion of a shell, contact was lost
"Artillery ambushTank troops" Listening to the rumble of the engine outside the command car, Lieutenant General Toski couldn't help but muttered to himself.
As an excellent commander, when thinking about the tactics that the opponent may use. The first thing to think about is your own strength. As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle Lieutenant General Toski, as a veteran of the Soviet Far East Army. Of course you have such qualities.
Suddenly, the word artillery in the message reminded him of something. His face changed slightly. He directly asked the combat staff beside him: "Where is our heavy artillery brigade now?"
"Comrade division commander, the heavy artillery traveling column is located behind the two infantry brigades. There is still less than ten kilometers away from the forward battle battlefield" the combat staff replied respectfully.
"Ten kilometers What, you said that the artillery brigade is only ten kilometers away from the battlefield which means that our heavy artillery brigade has entered the range of the heavy artillery of the squadron" Lieutenant General Toski immediately said After understanding something, he asked with a shocked look on his face.
"Yes, comrade division commander" the combat staff officer replied without knowing why.
"Asshole, since we have entered the artillery range, why not build an artillery position immediately If the artillery of the Chinese ** team suddenly attacks us at this time, wouldn't we even have no room to fight back Now I finally I know. Why did the heavy tank brigade lose everything in such a short period of time? It turned out that they were ambushed by the heavy artillery group of the Chinese Army What are you still doing? Immediately call the commander of the heavy artillery brigade and build an artillery position on the spot. , Hurry" Lieutenant General Toski reacted and roared directly to the combat staff in front of him.
"Yes. Comrade division commander, I will go and give the order right away"
However, what made everyone in the command car feel desperate. The combat staff officer had just finished speaking and had not yet had time to salute. The very familiar whistling sound of a series of artillery shells directly overwhelmed the roar of the tank engine and reached everyone's ears.
"No, it's an artillery attack. The Chinese artillery group really planned to ambush us Why are we still standing there? We ordered the artillery brigade to fight back immediately" Lieutenant General Toski, whose face changed drastically, was shocked*While the * team was being cunning, they couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
In my heart, I immediately began to pray that the artillery shells of the Chinese ** team would not fall in the artillery brigade behind them. Otherwise, he will no longer have any advantage at all in front of the Chinese team in front of him.
What he could think of was counterproductive. Chen Hong, the commander of the Chinese 46th Army, who was the leader of the entire annihilation war, could certainly also think of it. More than 150 rounds of large-caliber artillery shells, with a huge whistling sound, directly hit the mighty marching column of the Soviet Far East Army's forward artillery brigade.
"Boom, boom, boom" Just as Lieutenant General Toski finished speaking, a series of dull explosions came directly from behind him. Before Toschi could ask about the specific situation, the slightly frightened exclamation of Colonel Sika, commander of the heavy artillery brigade, came over the radio phone.
"Reporting to the division commander, the artillery brigade was attacked by a Chinese heavy artillery group and suffered heavy losses"
"Boom, boom, boom" Just as the heavy artillery brigade commander's voice fell on the radio, a louder roar followed, followed by the artillery brigade's location.
Facing the deafening explosion, the whole earth could not help but tremble. Just when Lieutenant General Toski wanted to ask about the specific situation over the radio. The panicked voice of Colonel Sika, commander of the heavy artillery brigade, rang out again.
"Reporting to Comrade Division Commander, the heavy artillery cluster of the Chinese ** team detonated the ammunition truck of our heavy artillery brigade All artillery shell reserves were destroyed Requesting support, requesting support"
With the loss of artillery shells, even if his heavy artillery brigade was lucky enough to be diverted from the artillery fire of the Central Army, it would all become a display. And on this endless grassland without any shelter, heavy artillery and tanks are undoubtedly the biggest nemesis of infantry. Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Toski no longer had the extra energy to pay attention to the meaningless heavy artillery force behind him.
It must be clear that once the Chinese artillery group changes its bombardment target, it will be coupled with the cooperation of the opponent's tank troops. The two infantry brigades in his hands will undoubtedly become the target of massacre by the squadron.
"The only way to change your own destiny and change the entire battlefield situation is to destroy the artillery positions of the Chinese Army and put the armies of China and the Soviet Union on an equal footing once again."
Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Toski, who had lost his artillery unit, first thought of the air support behind him. Without any hesitation, he ordered directly to the combat staff waiting for orders in front of him with an anxious look on his face.
"You bastard, what are you still doing? Send a request for assistance to the Far East Army Headquarters immediately, requesting air support to destroy the artillery cluster of the Chinese ** team, quickly"
"Yes, Comrade Commander"
After some contact, a reality that made Lieutenant General Toski feel desperate was placed directly in front of him. It would take at least half an hour for air support to arrive on the battlefield.
And within this half hour, he could only use the limited infantry in his hands to block the offensive of the squadron as much as possible.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Lieutenant General Toski, who looked desperate, gave an order directly: "Order the two infantry brigades to immediately assemble to the location of the headquarters, build a ring of fortifications on the spot, and prepare to hold on and wait for reinforcements"
When the mighty Soviet Red Army began to change direction and converge on Lieutenant General Toski's location. Located about one kilometer due south of Toski, under the cover of the dark night and the sound of battlefield artillery, a heavy tank regiment of more than a hundred tanks began to roar directly at the command of regiment leader Li Wentian.
"Reporting to the leader, all tanks have been warmed up and are ready to attack at any time"
"Report to Commander Li, the guard regiment is ready to attack" Soon, two reports reached the ears of Li Wentian, commander of the assault tank regiment.
"Okaycomrades, victory or defeat depends on this. Now I order the tank regiment and the guard regiment to start the assault"
¡°Rumble¡¡± Li Wentian¡¯s voice had just reached the ears of everyone on the battlefield through the radio. A louder engine roar sounded directly from the attack position. More than a hundred medium tanks, like a torrent of steel, quickly rolled towards the battlefield one kilometer away
"Reporting to the leader, there is still one kilometer away from the Soviet position"
"Reporting to the head of the regiment Two battalions of Soviet infantry are rushing towards our tank regiment in an attempt to block our offensive"
"Report to the head of the regiment The reconnaissance unit reports that the Soviet army is speeding up its assembly. The military headquarters requires us to speed up the assault and cut the main force of the Soviet army into two sections as soon as possible" Orders were passed to Li Wentian one after another. ear.
When passing through the lookout point of the tank, I saw nearly a thousand old men charging toward me with weapons in their hands and howling. A murderous sneer quickly appeared on his face. Li Wentian showed no mercy.He ordered
"Attention all tanks, concentrate their artillery fire, and defeat the old man in front of you The heavy machine guns on the vehicles will open fire as soon as they enter the 300-meter range Tank regiment, continue the assault, and tear a hole for me" ( To be continued
