- "How much longer?"
Opening the hatch cover and standing at the position of the 12.7mm machine gun on the top of the turret, Li Mo, the commander of the tank regiment, asked the men inside the tank.
Not long ago, the Air Force dispatched hundreds of bombers to conduct intensive bombing of the German Army Group South, which was advancing towards Moscow. Although the bombing did not cause too much damage to the German army due to altitude issues, it undoubtedly played a role in delaying the speed.
It was at this time that while the air force was delaying the German army as much as possible, the army that had been assembled in South Russia also crossed the Sino-Russian border at the invitation of Stalin. Of course, a year ago the Russians were They don¡¯t recognize this border, but now
After being looted by the Germans, the Russians no longer have the capital to quarrel with China
Since the establishment of the National Socialist Government and the seizure of large tracts of land from the Russians, the border conflicts between China and Russia have never been interrupted. Although large-scale wars did not occur as Britain and the United States expected, border conflicts involving more than a thousand people occurred almost every year, and even several times in rare cases.
Therefore, in places such as Southern Russia, Central Asia, and Outer Mongolia, the national and social governments have extremely strong military forces.
Especially in southern Russia
For the Russians, Outer Mongolia is nothing, after all, it was taken back from the Chinese.
As for Kazakhstan and other Central Asian regions, although they are very important, Russia is not inseparable from them.
However, Southern Russia¡
There are a considerable number of Russians living there, and it has been a territory of Russia for hundreds of years since the establishment of Russia. Especially in the Caucasus, there is a Baku oil field
For the Russians, Southern Russia is undoubtedly an extremely important region.
So. The Russians have been planning a plan to recapture Southern Russia - of course, provided that this does not trigger a siege from the surrounding 'imperialist countries'.
Fortunately, countries such as the United Kingdom, France, the United States, and Germany not only dislike Russia, but also dislike China. Therefore, it is not necessary for the Russians to have this situation, as for the countries mentioned above. Whether it is the Chinese who are unlucky or the Russians who are unlucky, it is a matter of joy.
It¡¯s just that in World War I, Russia¡¯s losses were too great. Therefore, although the Russians wanted to regain the lost territory, they could only lick their wounds silently. Waiting for the opportunity.
However, after waiting for decades, this opportunity has never come.
The Russians can only watch there, watching the Chinese opponent become stronger day by day
Although by the late 1920s, Russia was no longer China¡¯s opponent. However, due to strong pressure from the Russians, China still deployed a considerable amount of troops in southern Russia.
After mobilization, the strength of the Caucasus Military Region reached nearly one million.
Although it is impossible to send out all the troops because many areas require troops to stay behind. But even so, Cai E still has hundreds of thousands of troops to use after arriving in the Caucasus.
And since almost all the National Defense Forces have reached the level of mechanization and motorization, there is absolutely no doubt about the mobility of these troops. As for Cai E, he can also dispatch tens of thousands of airborne troops, but he is just like He Zhuguo. . Unless necessary, Cai E is not inclined to use airborne troops. After all, if airborne troops are used, some unknowns are too great.
If you don¡¯t pay attention, or even if fate makes a small joke, tens of thousands of airborne troops may be wiped out
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
"Captain. It should probably not be far"
After Li Mo asked, one of his subordinates answered in the tank.
Li Mo nodded.
"The order goes down and everyone is ready to fight."
"yes!!!"
After hearing the answer from his subordinates. Li Mo patted the tank's turret.
Li Mo has absolute confidence in the two T-41 tanks he rides on.
"The 105mm main gun will definitely have no problem penetrating the German Tiger"
Although he was at war with the Germans, Li Mo, who had always accepted the friendship between China and Germany in the past, felt somewhat awkward. But looking at the more than a hundred cavalry around him, Li Mo still thought confidently.
on the other hand. The German troops who had received the intelligence were also ready to fight.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? SouthThe regiment was originally formed to attack Poland. The enemy force responsible for cutting off the Polish corridor had 630,000 troops. Later he was sent to fight on the Eastern Front, responsible for the capture of Soviet Ukraine, especially Rostov, Kharkov and Kiev. After the failure of Army Group Center in the Battle of Moscow, Army Group South was responsible for the main offensive task and was divided into two into Army Group A and German Army Group B. After the subsequent Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Kusk, it was severely damaged and retreated all the way, and was later reorganized into the Southern Ukraine Army.
But the current Southern Army Group is undoubtedly extremely powerful.
Therefore, although Li Mo is proud, he does not dare to underestimate the enemy.
Li Mo knew exactly how powerful those exchange officers who came from Germany were.
It was at this time that the German defense line appeared in front of Li Mo.
¡°Sir, we¡¯re here!!!¡±
"Well, I saw it too"
Listening to his subordinates¡¯ words, Li Mo also nodded.
Li Mo did not order his men to rush to the front. Instead, he returned to the turret of the tank and closed the hatch cover at the same time.
Although there is still quite a distance from the German defense line, who dares to say that a shell will not happen to land next to it, and then the splashing shrapnel will cut his upper body out of the turret into two pieces?
And the reality seemed to be exactly what Li Mo thought. Not long after he closed the hatch cover, a round of artillery shells had already landed around the tank.
¡°Bang!!!¡±
It seemed that something hit the tank's gun barrel. Li Mo thought it was probably shrapnel flying after the shell exploded. Because there is still some distance from the German defense line, although the German 88-gun is powerful, it is impossible to fire at such a long distance.
Li Mo thought for a moment and said to the correspondent on the side.
"Tell the infantry at the back that they will follow us when we are almost done!"
"yes!!!"
Li Mo¡¯s army does not only have tanks, but also mechanized troops.
Not only does it have a considerable number of tanks, but there are also several regiments of mechanized infantry behind the tank regiment. Some infantrymen riding armored transport vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles are following Li Mo's tank regiment closely, just waiting for Li Mo to rush up. , they would rush up together, and then get out of the transport vehicle to disperse the occupying army positions.
In fact, there are several troops like Li Mo now. Scattered attacks were launched against the German defense lines.
¡°Bang!!!¡±
After traveling a few kilometers, Li Mo felt that the front armor of the tank was hit by something. This time Li Mo understood that this must be a German anti-tank weapon.
"How much distance is left?"
"There's about 3,000 meters left, right?"
After looking at it, the observers said somewhat unconfidently.
"3000 meters"
Li Mo murmured.
According to the internal data of the National Defense Forces, the 88mm gun is undoubtedly an extremely powerful and multi-purpose anti-aircraft gun.
Historically, the Army of the Republic of China ordered 20 88mm anti-aircraft guns from Germany in 1937, along with complete observation and communication equipment. Before the outbreak of the Songhu Battle in the same year, they were all transported to Jiangyin Fortress and Wuhan Fortress. Each fortress deployed 4 guns, for a total of 16 guns deployed in 4 places. During the Nanjing Defense War, the 16 guns successfully suppressed the firepower of Japanese warships and prevented them from being used. attempts in the waters near Nanjing. Unfortunately, during the retreat, he was ordered to destroy it himself. Did not move with the troops.
It can be seen that the 88mm gun can not only be used as an anti-aircraft gun and an anti-tank gun, but also a shore defense gun. Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Japanese warships entering the waters near Nanjing have a small displacement and are light warships.
If a battleship comes in. Let alone 88 guns, even 180 guns are probably useless.
In addition, the 88mm gun (8.8cmsk/35) used by the German Navy on submarines during the same period was often mistaken for the naval version of the 88mm anti-aircraft gun because of the same caliber. However, the 88mm gun installed on the decks of these U-submarines used A completely different ammunition ¡î has a high elevation angle of only 30 degrees and does not have air defense capabilities. It is only used to attack surface ships or land targets. The situation is similar to the 88mm caliber anti-aircraft guns used on the K?nigsberg-class light cruisers, Deutschland-class armored ships and other small ships. The models include 8.8cmsk/30/31/32, sk/45, etc., which are all the same as those of the Army. The flak18/36/37 series adopt a completely different design.
on the other hand. According to the internal records of the Wehrmacht, the 88 gun has a range of 2,000 meters. It can threaten the survival of T-40 and T-41 tanks.
The survivability of 45-ton medium tanks like the T-40 is particularly worrying.?In comparison, the situation of T-41 is much better. Even within a distance of 2,000 meters, as long as you are lucky, you may not necessarily be penetrated even if you are hit.
It¡¯s the T-40 on the other hand. As long as it hits, it¡¯s probably
"No matter what, keep rushing!"
For people, the distance of 3000 meters, which is 3 kilometers, is undoubtedly very long, but for tanks, the distance of 3000 meters is not very far.
What¡¯s more, their mission is to seize German positions?
So during the march, the advancing tanks were also constantly fighting back at the German positions¡ª¡ªOf course, since the performance of the tanks during this period was not very stable, actions like fighting back while marching were detrimental to the current situation. It is still more difficult for tanks, so most of the counterattacks fail to hit the target.
It was at this time that Li Mo's troops had entered the more dangerous distance of 2,000 meters.
¡°I didn¡¯t expect the Chinese tanks to be so tough!¡±
Looking at a T-41 tank that was hit, an anti-aircraft gunner said.
Just now, after a T-41 took the lead and entered the effective range of the 88mm gun, the anti-aircraft gunner, together with his partners, pointed the muzzle at the tank and accurately hit it. .
But when the shell hit the tank's turret, it unexpectedly bounced away.
"I heard that this is a tank secretly designed by the Chinese. It is only natural that it is so tough."
When he said this, the loader had already reloaded the shells with others.
After confirming that the filling was completed, the gunner pointed the muzzle at the T-41 tank just now
As a member of Army Group South and a member of Operation Barbarossa, almost all of these anti-aircraft gunners had destroyed dozens of Russian tanks. If you find someone among them who has only destroyed a dozen vehicles, that person will probably be embarrassed to raise his head.
Therefore, although the shell just bounced away, the anti-aircraft gunner did not panic much and just pointed the muzzle at the tank just now!
¡°Boom!!!¡±
The shell hit the target accurately again. Perhaps because the tank had traveled a lot further this time, the shell finally penetrated the target.
Looking at the destroyed tank, the gunner did not celebrate like a new recruit, but pointed the muzzle at the next target.
The result this time was a bit unexpected. Although the distance between the target tank and the previous one was actually about the same, and it seemed that it did hit the target this time, or even penetrated the target, the shell did not seem to uh It doesn¡¯t seem to have exploded? Instead, it is mounted on the front armor of the turret!
"this¡"
This time the gunner was somewhat surprised. After all, the chance of such a thing happening was really very small.
Just when the gunner was surprised, the tank moved forward a lot again
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Although they have all been trained on the battlefield, after all, not every gunner has as good skills as the gunner just now. After all, it is a target a thousand meters away. It is still troublesome to aim at it. What's more, these targets are mobile targets moving at speeds of tens of kilometers?
Moreover, even after entering the distance of 2,000 meters, not every target will be penetrated by the 88 gun.
On the other hand, after a considerable number of tanks entered the distance of 2,000 meters, Li Mo also issued an order.
"Let Lan Lin's camp go up!"
"yes!"
Lan Lin is the battalion commander of the T-40 medium tank battalion of Li Mo's regiment, and has dozens of T-40 tanks under his command. Because in the previous offensive, if Li Mo's T-40 moved at high speed, it would throw away his T-41, and therefore had to face the enemy's firepower alone
Therefore, until they entered the distance of 2,000 meters, Li Mo ordered them to maintain the same speed as his T-41.
But now, it¡¯s obviously no longer needed¡
Now Li Mo needs them to attack the enemy's defense line as soon as possible
