When the gunfire stopped, Captain Qian Guanglu of the guard regiment, who got out of the tank and stood on the tank turret, quickly glanced at the heavy artillery left for him by the surrounding Soviet Red Army.
When the gates were arranged neatly and ready to be fired at any time, and it was initially estimated that at least three hundred heavy artillery pieces came into his sight, Commander Qian Guanglu, who had already had a premonition that he was about to create a miracle tonight, ordered decisively.
"Brothers, from now on, this heavy artillery group belongs to us. Now I order all the cannon-firing brothers of the three commandos to come out immediately, and each person will be responsible for one heavy artillery. The remaining infantry brothers will serve as assistants to assist the gunners in operating the artillery. Transport the artillery shells. Ten minutes, I only give you ten minutes. After ten minutes, you must point and hit the more than 300 heavy artillery in front of you. Use the artillery shells that Lao Maozi worked so hard to transport from the Soviet Union to clean up Lao Maozi's army ¡±
After glancing at his subordinates who were quickly busy, Qian Guanglu's eyes shifted to the two regiment leaders who came after him. After re-explaining the order he had just given to the two captains, he immediately ordered: "Captain Wang, Commander Liu, time is running out now, so I won't be pretentious with you"
"Except for the 3,000 soldiers manning the heavy artillery cluster, we still have 3,000 infantrymen left. My idea is to arrange at least 2,000 infantrymen to quickly lay minefields around the Lao Maozi artillery position. As expected, we were attacked by everyone in front of us. The Soviet Red Army, which is attacking with hundreds of heavy artillery pieces, will definitely deploy heavy troops to counterattack the artillery position at our feet. When the time comes, we will use mines to prepare a big gift for the attacking Soviet Red Army"
As soon as he finished speaking, Commander Liu Shizhang of the 097th Regiment said with excitement: "Captain Qian, I used to be an engineer. Leave this task of laying landmines to me. I promise to let the landmines exert their maximum power in our hands." , give a big gift to the old man who may appear"
Finished. Without waiting for Qian Guanglu to react, he led several of his subordinates behind him and hurried towards the location of his commando team.
Qian Guanglu smiled and shook his head without saying a word, then continued to speak to the remaining commander of the 098 regiment, Wang Mingchang: "Captain Wang. Apart from the mine-laying mission that Commander Liu just carried out, there is still integration left here." The important task of three commando teams I will give you one hour to integrate the three commandos into one commando team. After an hour, lead us to launch an assault towards the weakest point of the Soviet defense line and rush out of the Soviet barracks .¡±
After Wang Mingchang left quickly with his men, the communications soldier who had been following him spoke very promptly: "Regiment seat, the three battalion commanders who were ordered to control all the artillery reported that the entire artillery position can continue to be used. All the gates have been controlled by our army, and we can launch artillery attacks on the Soviet barracks at any time"
"Very good" Qian Guanglu, who personally led this change, answered with great satisfaction.
Then, he ordered to the communications soldier: "Now I order. The artillery group commanded by the first battalion commander bombarded the tank division barracks southeast of the Soviet military camp The artillery group commanded by the second battalion commander bombarded the Soviet tanks due south. The divisionthe third battalion commander commanded the artillery group to bombard the Soviet tank division due east"
"During the shelling process, our night attack troops scattered around the Soviet barracks will provide everyone with more accurate shelling targets. In addition, all artillery will use incendiary bombs, and those without incendiary bombs will use high-explosive bombs. In a word , don¡¯t worry about messy issues like the heating of artillery barrels, fire out the most shells in the shortest time at all costs"
¡°Boom¡¡±
The deafening roar of artillery fire rang out from the artillery positions nearby. The hundreds of artillery pieces that fired the first round of shells first fired the shells at the Soviet barracks. At the same time, a huge gun barrel also sprayed out masses of orange-red flames at the same time. And the white smoke that quickly enveloped the gun position.
After several seconds of anxious waiting. The artillery shells whizzing through the air finally landed on the Soviet First Tank Division barracks like a meteor shower. However, because the Wehrmacht soldiers manipulating these artillery were not real artillerymen, less than half of the more than 100 shells whizzing down landed in the Soviet 1st Tank Division barracks.
But even so. Dozens of shells roared down and exploded, bringing an unprecedented disaster to the Soviet tank division barracks.
You must know that the Soviet tank battalion at this moment not only gathered more than 300 tanks and hundreds of logistics supply vehicles, but also gathered tens of thousands of infantrymen who were ordered to move here. It's safe to say. At this moment, the 1st Tank Division barracks was like a huge market, filled with densely packed infantry who had just reacted from panic.
Dozens of large-caliber incendiary bombs exploded. Centered on the impact point, within a range of tens of meters. Whether it was ordinary Soviet infantry or heavy tanks, which the Soviet army relied heavily on, logistics supply vehicles loaded with various ammunition all set off unprecedented fires.
??Looking around, we can see that they are scattered among the military camps.In dozens of fire scenes, more than 500 Lao Maozi infantrymen, a dozen tanks and logistics supply vehicles were struggling in the raging fires, waiting to die
"Good fight, immediately adjust the target of the artillery attack, continue to fire incendiary bombs at the Lao Maozi tank troop camp, and burn all the Lao Maozi infantry who gathered in the tank troop to meet the enemy" Commander Qian Guanglu witnessed the results of the shelling with his own eyes. He shouted excitedly.
As soon as the words fell, the two heavy artillery groups commanded by the remaining two battalion commanders were not willing to lag behind and fired their first round of artillery shells at the target.
Like the results achieved by the First Artillery Group, although more than half of the shells did not hit the military camp, the very few shells that hit the military camp still caused unprecedented damage to the Soviet army.
In this way, more than 300 heavy artillery pieces and a group of rookie gunners fired artillery shells at the Soviet barracks regardless of consumption. Each round was denser and more accurate. Unknowingly, the large and small fire fields scattered throughout the Lao Maozi military camp had become connected as the shelling continued.
Watching countless heroic Red Army soldiers die in battle without being killed by the enemy's guns, they were engulfed in fire amidst the explosions of shells fired from their own artillery positions. More soldiers were running back and forth in the barracks with frightened faces. Completely forgetting the courage and courage that a Red Army soldier should have.
Seeing the changes in front of him, Lieutenant General McKees, who was complacent about what he thought was a series of "foolproof" combat plans, immediately turned red in the face. It was like being slapped hard by the Wehrmacht, very humiliating.
Lieutenant General McKees, who had suffered heavy losses to his troops due to a series of misjudgments, suddenly felt this. In the face of the cunning National Defense Forces, all the combat experience and theoretical knowledge he has learned throughout his life seem to be useless.
He saw the eyes of his surrounding subordinates quickly focused on him. Feeling a little helpless in the face of a new round of attacks by the National Defense Forces, he had to turn his attention to the angry political commissar.
After a brief hesitation, he turned to the political commissar and said: "Comrade political commissar, because of the huge losses I have caused to the troops due to my continuous misjudgments, I will definitely take the initiative to request punishment from the commander-in-chief of the military region after the battle. Regarding the current battle situation, I don't know, comrade political commissar Do you have any good opinions? Faced with continuous failures, I already don¡¯t trust my own judgment.¡±
Of course, the political commissar would not let go of such a good opportunity to seize military power. He said without any hesitation: "As far as I know, our army's heavy artillery positions have a total of more than 300 heavy artillery and tens of thousands of various heavy artillery shells."
Seeing the chief of staff nodded in approval, the political commissar, who was a little high-spirited because he had military power, continued to analyze: "If the National Defense Forces are allowed to continue to occupy our heavy artillery positions and fire these artillery shells at our military camps, our forward troops will have another Multiple troops and heavy tanks will also be drowned in the dense explosion of artillery shells."
"So, I think we must now change the original battle plan: from 'siege the three commandos of the National Defense Force until dawn' to 'concentrate superior forces and tanks to take the initiative to attack and eliminate the three commandos of the National Defense Force in our army's heavy artillery positions'" .¡±
"According to the enemy information report from the military region headquarters, there is only one army of the National Defense Forces standing in front of us. After two consecutive days of fighting, although we did not have the organizational structure to eliminate one of the National Defense Forces, I can confidently say that under the continuous attacks of our heroic Red Army, .The total strength of the National Defense Forces lost in our hands must have exceeded 15,000."
"According to reports from various combat units: the total strength of the three National Defense Forces commandos that raided us tonight exceeds 7,000 people. That is to say, as long as we can eliminate these 7,000 people tonight, the loss of the National Defense Forces in our hands will be Reaching an astonishing 23,000 people. Everyone thinks that after the National Defense Force of an army loses 23,000 people, how many people can be left to continue to block us."
"I judge that as long as we eliminate the 7,000 National Defense Forces occupying our artillery positions, the remaining remnants of the National Defense Forces will never have a chance to block the front of our troops."
Seeing the gloomy look the political commissar looked at him, Lieutenant General McKees knew clearly. If you don't give orders as the political commissar says. The political commissar who has the same military rank and power as himself will definitely directly replace his command authority due to poor battlefield command and other reasons. The price you pay will be even greater.
Helplessly, he could only nod in agreement.
He affirmed to the political commissar and the subordinates around him: "The political commissar is right. Hundreds of heavy artillery must not be in the hands of the National Defense Forces. Otherwise, what awaits us will be disaster. Therefore, we must obtain from the National Defense Forces at all costs." We took back the heavy artillery position and more than 300 heavy artillery pieces."
"Now I order that the battle to retake the heavy artillery position will be commanded by the political commissar. All troops in the army must obey the political commissar's dispatch. Otherwise, military law will be engaged"
With the support of Lieutenant General McKees, he hurriedly escaped from the artillery fireThe more than a hundred heavy tanks that were transferred out, along with thousands of infantry who had not yet reacted to the panic, were like a yellow wave, slowly pressing toward the roaring heavy artillery positions.
Seeing the long-awaited Soviet offensive troops in the telescope, the commander in charge of laying mines, Liu Shizhang, said excitedly: "Lao Maozi is finally here. Today I will let you taste the feeling of being blown up by landmines"
While he was talking, a new order was issued from Qian Guanglu's mouth in time: "Order the first battalion commander to immediately shift the target of the artillery attack and conduct interceptive artillery fire on Lao Maozi's attacking troops until the artillery fire reaches the blind spot. In addition, contact Military seat, Lao Maozi's heavy artillery position has been controlled by our commandos, and our heavy artillery troops can pour artillery shells into the Soviet barracks as much as they want"
Learn from the experience just now that the shells fired by Lao Maozi's artillery always followed the commando team and rarely hit the commando team. The more than one hundred artillery pieces were not directly aimed at the Soviet offensive forces, but were all aimed at the Soviet offensive forces.
When the first round of more than a hundred heavy artillery shells exploded, a huge fire zone hundreds of meters long and dozens of meters wide lay directly in front of the Soviet attacking troops.
certainly. This fire zone is not formed by the raging fire caused by incendiary bombs, but by the smoke and dust produced by the explosion of ordinary high-explosive bombs.
In order to better kill the effective strength of the Soviet Red Army. Qian Guanglu deliberately did not use incendiary bombs.
Otherwise, we will really use incendiary bombs to create a sea of ????fire on the Soviet offensive road. The Soviet offensive troops would not be able to launch an attack on themselves at all, and they would have no way to rely on landmines to kill a large number of their effective forces during the Soviet attack.
Although the fire zone formed by the explosion of shells one after another did not completely block the Soviet offensive path. However, this fire zone where explosions are constantly occurring is full of murderous intent.
Because no one knows where the next artillery shell fired by the Wehrmacht will land.
However, facing the supervisory team with numerous gun barrels behind them and facing the death order of the political commissar, thousands of infantrymen under the cover of more than a hundred heavy tanks still kept their firm pace and rushed into the fire zone as always, planning to use He rushed through this death zone as fast as he could.
¡°Rumble¡Ula¡Ula¡¡± followed by the deafening roar of Soviet tanks. The deafening cheers of the old Maozi infantry overwhelmed the sound of shell explosions and reached the ears of Qian Guanglu and others.
??The Soviet elite troops, who had directly invested more than 30 tanks and thousands of infantry in the dead area of ????the fire zone, finally broke out of the smoke and appeared in front of the heavy artillery cluster.
¡° However, what awaits them is not only the counterattack of the National Defense Force, but also the thousands of landmines laid by the National Defense Force in front of them.
"Warriors, the great Red Army is invincible. Now I order you to rush into the artillery positions, kill all the Chinese, and take back our heavy artillery, Ula"
¡°Ula¡¡± When the old man¡¯s exclamations became louder and louder, they sounded on the battlefield. Seemingly seeing victory within reach, the Soviet Red Army seemed to be suddenly on a stimulant, roaring and following the tanks into the minefield.
"Boom, boom, boom" A series of violent explosions sounded at the edge of the minefield, and the arrogant old man directly ran into a series of serial mines. The Soviet heavy tank that was at the forefront and detonated the series of mines raised a plume of black smoke from the ground. It stopped motionless and turned into scrap metal.
However, this is not the greatest result achieved by this series of thunders.
Amidst the dense and violent explosions, hundreds of Soviet infantrymen followed the tank. It was as if their legs had been cut off collectively, and they all fell to the ground amid the explosion. The luckier old man was killed directly. No need to feel the heart-piercing pain. Lao Maozi, who was almost unlucky, dragged his bloody broken legs and struggled on the ground. Let out a scream that was more heartbreaking than the doctor
The explosion of the serial mines was just the beginning of the baptism of the Soviet offensive troops in the minefield in front of them.
As more and more explosions sounded among the Soviet offensive troops, the number of heavy tanks that had stopped advancing because they were hit by mines soon reached ten, and more than 500 infantry were lost.
After paying such huge losses, the troops advanced less than fifty meters, but they were still seven or eight hundred meters away from the heavy artillery position.
Looking at the minefield in front of them that could give them a fatal blow at any time, the Soviets responsible for the attack finally became afraid. The steps that have been moving forward firmly began to become hesitant, and I was deeply afraid that I would be unlucky and step on a landmine.
No matter how slow Lao Maozi¡¯s attack speed is, the mines that should explode will still explode.
After losing five tanks and hundreds of infantry again, the Soviet offensive forces had to stop this almost suicidal attack. At the same time, a telegram asking for help was also sent to the Soviet military and government via radio waves.?In the hands of committee members.
"Cowards, they are all a group of cowards Don't they know that if they occupy the heavy artillery position for a minute late, at least a thousand heavy artillery shells will fall into our military camp, and hundreds of heroic Red Army soldiers will lose their lives "After reading the telegram, the political commissar who was looking forward to good news from the front couldn't help but cursed loudly with a disappointed look on his face.
Regardless of the objections of his subordinates, he directly ordered with a murderous look: "Call back to the attacking troops immediately. There are no engineers and no support. I will give him the last ten minutes. Within ten minutes, he must rush into the heavy artillery position. You must be clear, our army As long as a heavy tank enters the blind spot of the heavy artillery design, the National Defense Forces occupying the heavy artillery position will have no way to block the front of the heavy tank."
Facing this murderous death order, I knew there were countless death gods staring at me in front of me. The remaining fifty tanks and thousands of infantrymen of the Soviet army had no choice but to continue to advance forward in defiance of death.
The explosion of landmines ended, and the last tank lay at the back of the battlefield. At the cost of annihilating their entire army, the Soviet offensive force successfully advanced the front line to a position about three hundred meters away from the heavy artillery position.
Looking around, the hundreds of meters of minefields that the Soviet offensive troops walked through were almost covered with the corpses of Soviet soldiers and tank wreckage blown up by landmines.
After glancing at the battlefield filled with the smell of blood and gunpowder smoke, Commander Qian Guanglu breathed a sigh of relief and finally said: "Captain Liu, Commander Wang, the minefield has been almost destroyed by Lao Maozi. This artilleryman We should give up our position. My idea is: in ten minutes, the commando team will break through under the cover of the heavy artillery force directly under the rear military headquarters."
"I agree. Although I don't know the specific results of the battle, the hundreds of heavy artillery pieces that we are about to destroy will fully achieve the purpose of the night attack stipulated by the army" The two regiment leaders agreed one after another.
