    Chapter 199: Building Demolition Weapon and Suicide Counterattack

    The bearded man did not take the wrong medicine, but made such a choice very helplessly.  To put it simply, the Soviet Union needs time to accumulate strength for the counterattack in the Siberian battlefield. It is also because it seems to have found some ways to deal with the Chinese from the defensive battle in Novosibirsk.  Especially against the rapid advance of Chinese tanks, it was clearly demonstrated in previous battles that tanks cannot exert their full power in street fighting.

    Winter is coming, and Stalin seems to have seen the dawn of victory in counterattack. If he had to choose a battlefield, he could only choose Siberia.  The winter in Central Asia is too mild compared to Siberia!

    Therefore, the main force of China's Central Asian Front Army must be held back, even if it costs a huge amount, to hold back the Chinese and create conditions for Chuikov's counterattack in Siberia. Once the Siberian counterattack succeeds, Chuikov can go south and hit the Central Asian Army from the side.  , it will undoubtedly be in a strategically advantageous position by then.

    Zhukov knew that Moscow had made its choice and had no choice but to call back and obey the order.  As an outstanding soldier, Zhukov knew very well that because of Pavlov's stupidity, the current Soviet Union was unable to concentrate its forces on multiple battlefields to fight back.  After careful consideration, Moscow must have sent its main counterattack force to Siberia, and the counterattack force must have been elites drawn from Europe.  As for the newly formed troops, Chuikov and Zhukov were all used for defensive warfare, and the ones who survived were the damn veterans.

    Zhukov quickly adjusted his deployment and relied on Samarkand, a rare large city in Central Asia, to reserve as much food, water, ammunition and other supplies as possible.  Intensify the construction of fortifications and prepare for street fighting.  At this time, Zhukov definitely played the last trump card in his hand, which was the Third Mechanized Army, and launched a powerful counterattack against the Tenth Mechanized Army of the Chinese National Defense Forces, which was crushing from the east to the west.  In order to make the counterattack more successful, Zhukov has been hiding more than 300 fighter planes far away.  Also enter the battle at once.  One of the biggest features of these fighters is that the airport is far enough away, so they buy one-way tickets, which means that if they can persist until the end of the battle, they will have no fuel to fly back.

    ¡°It must be said that this is something that makes Zhukov extremely sad. The performance gap between fighter planes is large, and they dare not fly closer to the airport, otherwise they may be discovered by Chinese reconnaissance planes.  Then came the constant air strikes.

    Beijing, Changhe, a weapons testing site.  A weapon that looks silly, big and black is undergoing test firing.

    "Using the Great Wall tank chassis, shortening the barrel, the barrel length is 5087 mm, the caliber, the rifled part of the barrel is 3981 mm long. The number of riflings in the bore reaches 64, and the barrel weight reaches 5.2 tons. The artillery shells are separate ammunition.  A small crane is installed on the left side of the frame for loading ammunition. The firing rate of the artillery shell is 1 round in the first 2 minutes, and 1 round in 1 minute thereafter. The range is 17.5 kilometers, the muzzle velocity is 607 meters/second, and the gun crew consists of 15 people. Currently there are  We are studying different types of artillery shells, and this type of self-propelled howitzer also has a 203 caliber." Clement, a Jewish engineer who once worked for Rheinmetall, was responsible for giving a detailed explanation to President Fang Da.  This howitzer, which took two years from design to development, finally has a sample.

    The National Defense Force advocates mobile warfare.  There is a tradition of destroying enemies in sports.  But this kind of mobile warfare requires objective conditions. Sometimes if you want to fight in sports warfare, you are committing suicide.  For example, in the two major battles currently underway, there have been situations where you cannot exercise even if you want to.

    This is the situation in Novosibirsk. Before the severe winter comes, Novosibirsk, with its back to the Ob River, cannot be completely surrounded.  The armored forces also do not have the environmental conditions for large-scale, long-distance attacks.  In the case of modern warfare, railways and roads are simply inseparable.  Therefore, this mobile warfare is a specific tactic produced under specific conditions.

    Historically, this tactic suffered great losses from the Americans in North Korea. As a time traveler, Fang certainly would not make this mistake.  Therefore, when the military has modernized to a certain extent, facing the Soviet Union, which is also an industrial power, a tough battle is inevitable.  How to attack difficulties?  This is thanks to the Soviet Union in parallel time and space, which invented many effective tactics and weapons.

    ??For example, the 280-caliber howitzer in front of you is the weapon that President Fang Da considers to demolish buildings.

    "First, transport 12 weapons to Central Asia and the Far East, and test the effect in actual combat. I estimate that there will be a tough battle to fight in Samarkand and Tashkent. Especially in Tashkent, Lukin has a very high level of defensive warfare."  President Fang Da started chattering again. People around him were used to it and quickly recorded it.

    At this time, Fang Jianxiong was most concerned about the Siberian battlefield. Gao Sheng had already formulated a new combat plan, which was approved by the General Staff after many improvements.  To realize this plan, a certain period of preparation for the campaign is required.  The key to this plan is the thickness of the ice on the Ob River. Aren¡¯t the Soviets looking forward to winter?Gaosheng means to fight a large-scale mobile war in winter, take full advantage of the hardening of roads and rivers in winter, and teach Chuikov a lesson.

    In order to cope with the winter that has already reached minus 20¡ãC, various cold-proof materials began to be stocked half a year ago and are being distributed one after another.  There is no doubt that this is a difficult battle, but Gao Sheng is confident and decides to fight. The General Staff agreed after repeated deductions.  One of the main reasons is that the Far East Military Region has nearly half a million officers and soldiers who have been guarding the border in the Far East, Mongolia and other bitter cold areas for a long time. These officers and soldiers have considerable ability to withstand the severe cold that the Soviets have high hopes for.

    When mentioning Lukin, President Fang cannot help but think of the famous Smolensk Blockade. This guy is awesome!  Guderian was beaten to shit by Lukin.  Therefore, to deal with the Tashkent Fortress defended by this guy, you need to use a special tool for demolishing buildings.

    Sixty kilometers east of Samarkand, a team consisting mainly of armored vehicles and three-wheeled motorcycles rolled forward along the road.  This is the vanguard of the 10th Mechanized Army. According to the requirements of the General Forward Command, Bai Chongxi's 10th Mechanized Army quickly advanced westward.  Liu Mingzhao did not intend to give Zhukov too much time to prepare for a defensive battle.

    The torrent of steel is rolling forward, and more than ten fighter planes are cruising at low altitude in the sky. Everything seems to be calm on the battlefield.  The marching team also carefully formed an attack formation, using a tank brigade as an arrow to advance rapidly along the road.

    Bai Chongxi in the command vehicle had a serious expression. Reports coming from the front showed that no signs of the Soviet army were found within ten kilometers.  This phenomenon made Bai Chongxi very uneasy, after all, it was not far from Samarkand.  A normal march only lasted two hours. Bai Chongxi repeatedly asked the leading 30th Mechanized Division to be more careful and send as many small groups of motorcycle troops as possible.

    Boom boom boom, the continuous explosions knocked over several moving motorcycles. The leading team turned around and ducked. Soon the tank regiment came up. The Soviet artillery fire became more and more intense. The leading tank regiment saw that they were all filled with howitzers.  For a long-range strike, the regiment leader Zhao Dengyu ordered to stop the advance and continue to advance in a dispersed formation while calling for air force reinforcements.

    Four cruising fighter planes quickly arrived and flew towards the Soviet howitzer position. The Soviet army, which had been well prepared, fired desperately with anti-aircraft guns. The dive effect of the four aircraft was not good, but they accurately found the Soviet army.  The location of the artillery positions.  And discovered the Soviet tank unit and reported the news.

    The discovery of Soviet tanks ahead indicates that they have encountered Zhukov¡¯s trump card, the Soviet Third Mechanized Army.  The 10th Mechanized Corps of the Wehrmacht launched quickly, and the self-propelled artillery regiment suppressed artillery fire. During the artillery battle between the two armies, the 60th Tank Regiment encountered Soviet tanks.  In other words, it was a flank attack by Soviet tanks. About a regiment of Soviet tanks came out of the woods hiding on both sides. In order to escape the air attack, they advanced as fast as possible.

    The cruise fighters dived and attacked one after another, but there were too many Soviet tanks and they could not effectively prevent the opponent from advancing. After destroying more than thirty Soviet tanks, the aircraft could only continue to fly forward to find other targets to attack, because the two armies  The tank formations have been intertwined with each other.

    The intertwined tanks include 185 Chinese tanks and 300 Soviet tanks, which is almost one to two.  According to the establishment of the Chinese tank regiment, Zhao Dengyu's 60th regiment should have more than 200 tanks. Some were lost in previous battles and some broke down during the march.  In contrast, the Soviet tank regiment was fully loaded and had been waiting here for a long time.

    This was a premeditated ambush. The Soviet tanks rushed forward desperately, relying on their numerical advantage to get involved with the Chinese tanks.  After repeated experiments, the Soviet army found that it was impossible to use the T26-45 tank gun to destroy the Chinese Great Wall tanks from the front. Attacking from the flanks or from the rear was the only option.  Hence today's tactic of fighting to be fired first, getting mixed up with Chinese tanks and then rushing to the back to fire.

    This tactic paid a heavy price. A regiment of Soviet tanks was wiped out, but it also achieved good results. Sixty-six Great Wall-4 tanks were destroyed or were unable to move forward after being hit on their tracks.  The entire battle lasted for two and a half hours. The sound of tank guns was heard one after another on the battlefield, and tanks were everywhere that caught fire after being hit.

    This tank battle once again verified the superiority of the Great Wall tanks. Among them, the smaller Great Wall-5 tanks were not penetrated by the armor even if they were shot from behind.  Later war history, when referring to this counterattack, used this paragraph to describe this Soviet counterattack, "This was a "suicidal" counterattack. The Soviet Third Mechanized Army did not have air superiority.  Under this, a fierce counterattack was launched against the Chinese Tenth Mechanized Army at a place less than 60 kilometers away from Samarkand. This counterattack caused heavy losses to the Tenth Mechanized Army and successfully forced the Tenth Mechanized Army to  The pace of rapid advancement stopped for three days."
