The 1099th Squadron's fierce counterattack, the air force that they had high hopes for, faced the sudden air reinforcements from the Squadron 1099, and they had almost no room to fight back, and they lost everything.
The artillery group at the rear was also bombarded by a bomber formation of the Chinese Qatar Air Force. Only one out of ten remained, and it had completely lost its combat effectiveness
There is no air force, no artillery Lieutenant General Silenkov, the division commander Lao Maozi, directly pinned his last hope on the infantry and a heavy tank regiment behind him who had not had time to go to the battlefield. I hope that I can use the remaining troops in my hands to save this defeat as much as possible.
However, what Lieutenant General Silenkov did not expect was that such an idea just came into his mind. His opponent, the 46th Army, directly followed and launched an intensive artillery attack on his infantry assembly area, completely crushing the little hope that had just been ignited in his heart
A large-caliber incendiary bomb exploded, and people and objects within a radius of tens of meters were almost immediately enveloped in raging fire, leaving them no time to react or dodge. In just the blink of an eye, the first round of more than a hundred large-caliber incendiary bombs quickly formed a medium-sized fire field at the dense infantry assembly area behind the headquarters
In the fire scene, any soldier who was swallowed up by the fire could not get rid of and extinguish the flames no matter how he rolled on the ground. In the end, I could only watch helplessly as the soldiers who were swept into the sea of ????fire slowly lost their lives with bursts of heart-rending screams. Eventually burned to ashes.
See the scene in front of you. Then I thought about an hour ago, when I issued the order to use incendiary bombs to attack the Chinese positions. Division Commander Silenkov's face instantly turned pale. I couldn't help but exclaimed to the subordinates around me: "Incendiary bombs, the Chinese ** team is actually equipped with incendiary bombs How is this possible, how is this possible"
However, at this moment, there was no extra time for him to think about this problem. The 46th Army artillery group continued to fire round after round of artillery shells, expanding the area of ????the sea of ????fire at the rear infantry assembly area at a very fast speed.
I watched helplessly as more and more soldiers were drawn into the sea of ????fire. The stunned Lieutenant General Silenkov finally recovered from his shock. He exclaimed loudly to the staff officer beside him.
"You bastard, why are you still standing there? Do you want all the more than 10,000 Red Army warriors to be buried in the flames Order the troops to disperse immediately, and quickly disperse and transfer"
The order had just been issued, and the front line voluntarily withdrew from the melee battlefield, almost defeating the thousands of old men who had fled all the way back. Immediately afterwards, he appeared directly in the eyes of the division commander, Lieutenant General Silenkov.
Before the political commissar, who was always known for his sternness, could react from the shock, Lieutenant General Silenkov's curses were the first to be heard in the headquarters: "Asshole, who told them to retreat The Chinese They used incendiary bombs. Do they want to come back and be burned alive on the battlefield Stupid. Simply stupid. I want to shoot their commander"
As soon as Lieutenant General Silenkov finished speaking, the voice of the political commissar rang directly after him: "I agree with Comrade Division Commander that not killing these cowards is not enough to quell the anger of the warriors. We, the Great Soviet Red Army Our morale was defeated at the hands of these cowards"
What is different about the expressions of the two leaders is that they are filled with indignation. The face of the major general's chief of staff was calm from beginning to end After the two people cursed, with the last trace of reason, he reminded the two officers: "Comrade division commander. Comrade political commissar, Chinese The artillery fire was too fierce, and they also used incendiary bombs. What should we do next? Should we retreat proactively, or should we hold on to the spot"
"There is no order from the commander-in-chief. We can only hold on to the spotOrder all combat troops to disperse immediately. Dig trenches on the spot. Be prepared to hold onIf nothing goes wrong, the squadron of the ** team will After the reinforcements arrive, they will definitely launch a series of counterattacks against us" Relying on his own combat experience, Lieutenant General Silenkov directly ordered with a majestic look.
"Yes, Comrade Commander"
In the half-hour long artillery attack, more than 150 artillery pieces poured more than 25,000 incendiary bombs into the Japanese positions. Although on the eve of the bombardment, more than 10,000 old men carried out a certain degree of evacuation and protection under the order of Lieutenant General Silenkov. However, more than 20,000 incendiary bombs still caused a huge cost to the Soviet Red Army, with at least 5,000 direct deaths.
What¡¯s more important is that under the raging fire, most of the heavy weapons and baggage carried by the 30,000 old men were almost completely burned
The Lao Maozi soldier who experienced the first incendiary bomb attack has not yet recovered from the shock. A deafening roar spread directly from far to near, reaching the ears of everyone on the battlefield. Immediately afterwards, still inThe shocked Lao Maozi soldiers, without exception, all felt the slight trembling of the earth
Lieutenant General Silenkov, the division commander who was familiar with modern warfare, his face that was calm just now turned pale. Facing the two partners beside him, he said directly: "The heavy tank unit is definitely a heavy tank unit, and there are hundreds of heavy tanks How is it possible? Please report that the Chinese ** team is only equipped with medium tanks. ¡.¡±
As soon as the words fell, a black line consisting of a large number of tanks appeared at the end of the grassland in three different directions.
With the roar of the tank engine getting louder and louder, the Chinese heavy tank attack formation, which was still like a black line just now, directly revealed its ferocious face
There were more than a hundred American heavy tanks in each of the three directions, holding their black muzzles high, spitting out black smoke, and lining up in the most basic armored charging formation. Like an unstoppable sharp arrow, they quickly hit their position three times. Coming from different directions.
"Asshole, what are you still doing? Order our own tank troops to attack immediately and block the tanks of the Chinese ** team Go quickly" The old Maozi Lieutenant General Silenkov reacted from the shock without hesitation. , ordered with a nervous expression.
"Yes, Comrade Division Commander However, after the shelling just now, the number of heavy tanks in our hands is already less than a hundred. At most, it can only slow down the attack speed of the Chinese ** team" A combat staff officer quickly took the order and go¡.
"Rumble" Amidst the roar of the huge engines, the only more than 80 tanks left around the Laomaozi Division headquarters were directly under the command of their respective battalion commanders, divided into three different directions, and quickly attacked to meet the enemy. .
Looking at the torrent of steel rolling away, Lieutenant General Silenkov, the commander of Lao Maozi, calmed down a little. Facing the chief of staff in front of him, he continued to give orders.
"Comrade Chief of Staff, immediately order all commanders on the battlefield to build fortifications on the spot and wait for reinforcements In addition, all anti-tank guns carried by our army will be concentrated in these three directions. No matter what, we must block the Chinese This counterattack of the ** team Also, report the current difficulties our army is encountering to the Commander-in-Chief immediately, and request the Commander-in-Chief to send reinforcements immediately. Of course, even if there are no reinforcements, I hope the Commander-in-Chief can dispatch some Air power provides our army with necessary air support."
"Yes, Comrade Commander"
The more than 80 remaining heavy tanks of Lao Maozi had just driven less than one kilometer out of the position when they collided directly with the heavy tank division of the Chinese Army. As a result, the two tank troops, which were completely disproportionate in number, fought together as if they were fighting at close range
"Boom" A large-caliber armor-piercing bullet spurted out from the long barrel, and the heavy tank body couldn't help but tremble. The hot armor-piercing projectiles, directly under the influence of huge inertia, with an initial speed of several hundred meters per second, slammed into an old Maozi tank directly opposite, which was preparing to attack a fellow tank.
"Boom" The hot shell, after flying in the air for less than a second, hit the target's front armor very accurately. Suddenly, a white light flashed at the impact point of the shell. The Lao Maozi tank, which had been adjusting its muzzle just now, was directly torn apart by the shell, making a violent explosion
Although the commanders of more than 20 Lao Maozi tanks all have very superb combat experience. However, with this combat experience, there is no room for counterattack when the Chinese Army has the same type of tanks and has an absolute numerical advantage. Because, just when they fired a shell, the Chinese tank group directly opposite, at least five tanks, had already fired armor-piercing shells of the same caliber at them at the same time
Violent explosions began to sound on the tank melee battlefield. The old tanks were torn into pieces in an instant under the direct hits of several artillery shells. Immediately afterwards, the pile of debris turned into a huge fireball
Of course, under Lao Maozi¡¯s sharp attack, the three heavy tank regiments also suffered a lot of casualties. However, these negligible losses did not cause any damage to a tank division with more than 300 heavy tanks.
The Lao Maozi tank defense line blocking the front of three heavy tank regiments was torn to pieces under the attack of the Chinese heavy tank division after just one round of fighting. The hand-to-hand combat between tanks was torn apart by the strength of the Chinese heavy tank division. Ended with a complete victory.
The dense group of tanks, followed by the infantry of three regiments of the 139th Division, had just arrived on the battlefield and were eager to take the plunge. Quickly passing over the wreckage of more than 20 Lao Maozi tanks, like an unstoppable torrent of steel, it quickly swept towards the temporary defense line constructed by Lao Maozi (To be continued{PiaoTian Literature www.PiaoTian.com thanks all book friends for their support, your support is our greatest motivation}
