    "Click, click, click" A Soviet-made light machine gun, controlled by two soldiers, had just shot down several Soviet soldiers. Before all the bullets were fired, a Soviet-made light machine gun fired on the top of a Soviet tank 150 meters away.  The high-level dual-purpose machine gun focused on it.

    The thick flames spurting out from the muzzle of the machine gun just swept past the machine gunner. Several large-caliber bullets whizzed by easily penetrated the trench wall in front of the machine gunner and broke two holes in the chests of the two machine gunners.  A bloody hole as thick as the mouth of a bowl.

    Of course, the light machine gun that was making roaring sounds suddenly turned off and fell in the incomplete trench along with the soldiers operating it.

    " Killing five or six Soviet soldiers at the cost of two machine gunners may seem like a good deal, but it is not.

    With the strong comprehensive national strength of the Soviet government, the Soviet government can replenish it in a short time regardless of the loss of equipment or troops.  However, the National Defense Forces who are defending do not have this strength

    Taking the attack in front of him as an example, Wu Keren only had an infantry regiment of 3,000 troops at full strength.  As for the Soviet Red Army, there were only three thousand offensive troops directly present on the battlefield.  As the losses of the attacking troops increased, Wu Keren had seen through the telescope that another Soviet infantry regiment was gradually approaching the battlefield and launching an attack on his own position.

    Seeing this, the chief of staff standing next to Wu Keren raised his eyebrows and said worriedly: "Master, this has only been fighting for less than fifteen minutes, and the 011 regiment has already lost almost an infantry battalion and Lao Maozi's offensive troops have lost another  It is obvious to send an infantry regiment up. They intend to consume the entire 011 regiment on the battlefield through wheel battles"

    "We must find a way to provide reinforcements to the 011 regiment, otherwise, Lao Maozi's goal will be achieved"

    Pointing to the dozens of Lao Maozi bombers still remaining above the battlefield after being consumed by two anti-aircraft battalions.

    Wu Keren shook his head firmly and said: "Have you seen Lao Maozi's plane I can be sure: as long as our reinforcements walk out of the artillery hole, Lao Maozi's plane will attack our reinforcements like crazy.  "

    The chief of staff, whose face became increasingly solemn, asked with reluctance: "Could it be thatwe are just going to watch the 011th Regiment being completely destroyed by Lao Maozi's attack Master, how could the thousands of brothers on the battlefield be so miserable?"  They are all old brothers who have been trained by us since the Northeast, and they are the real elite of our new first division"

    After hearing this, Wu Keren's solemn face finally changed slightly, and he said in a serious tone: "You are right The brutality of this blocking battle is far beyond our imagination. It is very likely that our new number one  The division will be buried here. But no matter what, we must leave some seeds for ourselves and leave some seeds for each regiment"

    ¡°We must not let the thousands of elite members of the 011 Regiment be wasted on the battlefield"

    When he said the last sentence, the expression on Wu Keren's face was not only firm but also decisive.

    After just five seconds of reflection.  He ordered to the chief of staff: "As the saying goes, if the equipment is gone, we can seize it from the enemy and get supplements from the rear. But once the people are gone, there is no hope."

    "Order all the field artillery battalions of the 011th Regiment to stay in the rear. The mountain artillery company, the mortar companyimmediately use their fastest speed to cover the Soviet offensive troops with artillery fire, and use artillery shells to crush their attackwhen the combat order is issued.  Don¡¯t forget to remind these troops that during the artillery bombardment, except for the gunners who need to carry out the artillery bombardment, the rest of the soldiers must stay away from the artillery positions to avoid being overwhelmed by the Soviet retaliatory artillery fire. There are not even the seeds to reorganize the artillery force in the future"

    A string of sharp whistles of artillery shells flashed past everyone's heads, and more than a hundred artillery shells that drew various flight trajectories in the sky steadily smashed into the Soviet attacking troops.

    When groups of orange-red fireballs slowly rose from the middle of the Soviet offensive troops, they eventually formed mushroom clouds of different sizes.  Gaps with a radius of several meters or even more than ten meters suddenly appeared in the middle of the densely packed Soviet attacking troops.

    On the grassland with no shelter, no matter what kind of artillery shell explodes in the middle of the Soviet attacking troops, it will set off a bloody storm full of blood.

    Seeing the soldiers flying around with their limbs and arms broken, facing the shells above their heads that might fall next to them at any time.  The Soviet offensive troops, who never thought that the Wehrmacht artillery troops dared to show their heads under the watchful eyes of their own superior artillery troops, were like frosted eggplants. Their high morale quickly disappeared, as if death might come to them at any time.  .

    Soviet political commissars at all levels scattered among the attacking troops tried their best to boost morale among the troops and maintain stability.  However, as more and more soldiers were torn into pieces by the fragments produced by the explosion of artillery shells, their own lives began to be threatened.Finally, the confidence of these political commissars could not help but begin to waver.

    However, these political commissars who had blindly trusted Stalin still suppressed the constant fear in their hearts and roared loudly to their subordinates: "Great Red Army warriors, victory must belong to us. As long as the great Soviet Red Army  When the artillery begins to counterattack, the Chinese artillery force will be completely destroyedHold on, persistence is victory"

    These political commissars were right. The commander-in-chief of the Soviet offensive force directly dispatched two heavy artillery divisions from the limited artillery to fight back.  However, because the hundreds of artillery pieces under the 011th Regiment are all dispersed and arranged in company ranks.  Although the counterattack firepower of the Soviet artillery was very fierce, it could not deal a devastating blow to the artillery units of the 011th Regiment in a short period of time.

    Therefore, although the number of artillery shells that continue to surround the Soviet offensive troops has decreased, it has not completely stopped.

    Thousands of offensive troops gathered together are still being consumed at an unprecedented rate of loss

    Especially the 54 mortars equipped by the 011th Regiment. The shells fired at a rate of fifteen fire per minute were like rain, harvesting the lives of the Soviet attacking troops at the fastest speed.

    When the Soviet army's advancing defense line was still a hundred meters away from the position, only a thousand of the more than three thousand offensive troops were left.  And the rain of shells.  Explosions continued to occur among the troops at a rate of several rounds per second.

    "We can't continue the attack. At the current rate of losses, even if all the troops are exhausted, we can't rush to the Wehrmacht positions" Among the already sparse Soviet offensive troops, a regimental commander shouted to the political commissar next to him.  growled.

    Perhaps because he felt that his life was being threatened more and more, the political commissar who had been going forward unexpectedly did not express any objection and replied loudly: "Comrade commander, I agree that the troops will retreat immediately. However, during the retreat, orders must be  The heavy artillery troops covered the Wehrmacht positions with artillery fire. Cover us"

    After the heavy artillery shells that kept whizzing over everyone's heads were transferred to the Wehrmacht positions, the Soviet offensive troops with only a thousand people left once again withdrew from the battlefield like a tide, leaving behind a dense mass of soldier corpses.

    "Lao Maozi finally retreated" the staff officer lying at the lookout of the headquarters said with a long sigh of relief.

    After Wu Keren looked up at the slowly darkening sky, his tense facial expression finally relaxed.  He replied to the Chief of Staff: "As expected, this attack will be the last attack of the Soviets today"

    "Order the 012th Regiment to immediately replace the 011th Regiment. At the same time, order Commander Zhou Xinfa to immediately count the losses of the troops. I want to know how much it will cost us to repel a Soviet attack."

    Soon, the somewhat heavy figure of the chief of staff came to Wu Keren and reported to Wu Keren: "Master, the results have come out"

    "Except for the artillerymen who stayed behind, there are more than 2,100 officers and soldiers of the 011 regiment who have entered the position. The battle has been going on so far. Only more than 1,200 officers and soldiers have successfully withdrawn from the position, including 300  There are two lightly and seriously injured people However, the only thing that makes people feel fortunate is that the remaining more than 1,200 people are all veterans in the army with more than three years of military service."

    "That's good" Wu Keren said happily.

    "As long as there are these 1,200 veterans and the hundreds of surviving artillerymen in the rear, the 011th Regiment will not be defeated."

    The chief of staff standing next to Wu Keren was not so optimistic.

    Take a deep breath.  Analyzing Wu Keren like pouring cold water on him: "Master, if we repel Lao Maozi's attack, we will lose a thousand elite infantry and hundreds of artillery pieces. The mission given to us by the commander-in-chief is to hold on here for the newly formed First Division."  Two days. Based on the Soviet Red Army launching six attacks a day, the remaining strength of our division is simply not enough to last for the remaining two days. Therefore, we must find a way to change the current war situation and cannot continue to engage in passive defense."

    "You mean changing from passive to active" Wu Keren frowned and asked in a deep voice.

    The chief of staff affirmed: "Yes, Master If we continue to defend passively like this, even if all the more than 10,000 soldiers under our command are exhausted, we will not be able to complete the mission"

    "It makes sense" Wu Keren affirmed to the chief of staff with a thoughtful look on his face after listening to the analysis.

    However, this expression was soon replaced by solemnity again.  Because, in just a few seconds, Wu Keren could not think of any way to get rid of the passive situation in front of him.

    The lack of air support means that air supremacy on the battlefield will be completely in the hands of the Soviets in the next battle.  Correspondingly, the artillery superiority of both the enemy and ours was also replaced by the Soviet Red Army.

    ?Losing air superiority and artillery superiority, even if the Wehrmacht had more powerful heavy tanks than the Soviets, there would be no way to fight with the Soviet Red Army during the day.  Because as long as the Wehrmacht exposes its heavy tanks to the Soviets, it will suffer a devastating blow from the Soviet Air Force without even a chance to fight back.

    The only advantage was gone. Wu Keren really couldn't think of any other way to help him reduce the casualties of his troops.

    Wu Keren frowned, and while he was recalling his experiences and what he had learned in his mind, a bold idea appeared directly in Wu Keren's mind.

    If you want to change from active to passive, you must disrupt the Soviet Red Army's offensive sequence.  In addition, all the advantages he had were gone, and the only way he could do it was to use cunning strategies.

    ??To make a strange plan, that is, to play the unexpected trump card of the Soviet Red Army in your own hand

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Out of all the trump cards in his hand, there is only one that can make the Soviets feel afraid, and that is beyond the expectations of all the Soviets.  A Soviet-made heavy tank regiment was temporarily assigned to itself by the former enemy headquarters.

    When they lost their air superiority and artillery superiority, everyone including the Soviets knew it.  As long as they dispatch their own tanks, those tanks exposed to the Soviets will become living targets for the Soviet artillery and air force.

    Therefore, no Soviet person would think that they dare to dispatch tank troops at this time.

    Since the Soviets couldn¡¯t think of it, then this idea was an unexpected conspiracy for the Soviets.

    Thinking of this, a sneer flashed from the corner of Wu Keren's mouth.  At the same time, Wu Keren's frowning face slowly revealed a confident expression from the bottom of his heart.

    He shouted firmly to the chief of staff in front of him: "Let's do itRather than letting the tank regiment hide behind and sleep. It's better to take it out and fight. Anyway, these tanks were captured by Lao Maozi, even if they are all captured  I don't feel bad if they are blown to pieces. It's just that it hurts the hundreds of tank soldiers who operate these tanks"

    Under Wu Keren¡¯s order, the two infantry regiments of the newly formed First Division that had not yet participated in the battle were transformed into engineers carrying engineer shovels on their shoulders.  Subsequently.  Taking the company as a unit, we began to build underground troop hiding caves in the front line positions

    Of course, this so-called "Tibetan Soldier Cave" is not really for Tibetans.  Rather, it was to hide the Soviet-made heavy tanks weighing dozens of tons, and to allow the heavy tanks to rush along the entrance of the tunnel to the surface position at the first time, and fight with the Soviet offensive troops.

    The next day dawned, from the outside.  The position of the newly formed First Division standing in front of the Soviets did not change at all.

    However, when you actually cross the first-line position, you will find that in a huge area only fifty meters wide between the first-line land acquisition and the second-line position, there are dozens of huge holes supported by logs and various steel plates, just like  A black hole that specializes in swallowing life.  They appeared in a row directly behind the front line.

    Not only that, in this huge cave with a depth of ten meters.  A total of 36 Soviet-made heavy tanks, like cheetahs ready to go, are quietly accumulating energy in the Tibetan Army Cave, hiding and waiting.

    After taking a deep breath of the fresh air rarely seen on the battlefield, Tukhachevsky knew that this attack would last at least several months, or even half a year. His calm face showed no interest at all.  He ordered his subordinates in a cold tone: "All offensive troops participating in the attack today, begin the attack"

    ¡°Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooodate go on¡± The sharp whistling sound of artillery shells just sounded in the air, and the violent explosion of artillery shells reached everyone's ears from the battlefield a few kilometers away.

    When several artillery groups poured artillery shells on the newly formed 012 regiment position regardless of consumption.  More than 100 Soviet-made bombers, escorted by more than 30 fighter jets, were like a black cloud, roaring towards the battlefield.

    Aircraft bombing, ground artillery shelling, under the repeated attacks of these modern weapons.  The position held by the newly formed 012 Regiment was once again covered with dozens of tons of steel fragments, and the floating soil, which was already twenty centimeters thick, also thickened by several centimeters.

    ??The sound of explosions stopped, and the "squeaking" sound of tanks running slowly reached the ears of the soldiers of the newly formed 012th Regiment from far to near.

    When the smoke shrouding the battlefield slowly dissipated under the breeze, the Soviet offensive troops slowly appeared in everyone's sight.  Under the cover of more than thirty Soviet heavy tanks, at least four thousand Soviet infantry were like an khaki wave.  Under the cover of the torrent of steel, a mighty force came to the position.

    Like yesterday¡¯s attack, after more than 30 tanks entered the 150-meter position, without exception, they all stopped in place to serve as fixed firepower points.  The artillery shells and bullets will continue to pour into the newly formed 012th Regiment position

    Follow behind the tankThousands of Soviet infantrymen, like a flood that broke a dike, quickly crossed the copper and iron walls formed by tanks, exposing their bodies to the counterattack firepower of the Wehrmacht.

    According to the arrangement principle of "heavy firepower in the front and light in the rear, and heavy troops in the front and light in the rear", the newly formed 012 Regiment began its first blocking battle since the formation of the unit.

    However, under the deliberate control of Wu Keren on the seemingly tragic battlefield, the losses of the newly formed 012 Regiment were not particularly large.  Because the main force in this blocking battle was not the 012 Regiment, the entire regiment of 3,000 soldiers took turns to fight in battalion units.

    Only one field infantry battalion is deployed on the defense line that stretches for several kilometers, which means that only one Wehrmacht soldier can be assigned every few meters on this defense line.  Under such circumstances, no matter how powerful the firepower of the Soviet offensive troops was, the damage to the defenders was very limited.

    Of course, although the number of troops dispatched by the 012 regiment is limited, the infantry battalion dispatched almost carries all the light machine guns of the entire regiment.  On the surface, the number of Wehrmacht troops defending the position was very small, but the counterattack firepower fired by the Wehrmacht was extremely powerful.

    With a killing rate of hundreds of enemies per minute, the strength of the Soviet offensive troops was continuously weakened.

    However, as new Soviet offensive forces gradually joined the battlefield, the Soviet army's replenishment rate began to exceed its loss rate.  The yellow wave composed of Soviet infantry finally began to slowly advance towards the Wehrmacht position at a speed of twenty meters per minute.

    Seeing that the Soviet army had advanced fifty meters in front of the position, many Soviets had subconsciously taken out grenades and prepared for the final charge.

    At this moment, a smile full of murderous intent finally appeared on Wu Keren's always calm face.

    He decisively ordered to the chief of staff beside him: "The front-line defenders will retreat immediately The first tank battalion immediately attacked and completely defeated Lao Maozi In addition, all the tank commanders, comrade, rushed out of the position fifty meters away.  , all tanks must retreat unconditionally. If a tank cannot return after retreating, it must abandon the tank and come back on foot. I will order the 012th Regiment to provide fire cover for all attacking tanks and tank crews"
