    "Enemy attack!"

    When Wei Lihuang had just deployed his defenses, a scream full of terror suddenly rang in his ears.  The sky was covered with smoke and dust, the deafening roar of the engine, and the shouts of "Ula! Ula!" also came one after another!

    Wei Lihuang immediately rushed out of his headquarters with his staff and ran up a high slope not far away. Although it was only twenty or thirty meters high, it was enough to overlook the battlefield as flat as a table.  .  When he raised the telescope and looked westward, a thin layer of sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead.  The Soviet tank cluster appeared in front of its right-wing position. At least 500 tanks formed a wedge formation, and there were no less than 30,000 to 40,000 accompanying infantry. Some were sitting directly on the tanks, while others were advancing on foot.  While moving forward, they shouted slogans of "Ula! Ula!"  What a ready-to-fight attitude!

    "Damn, I really thought our 22nd Army was easy to bully!" Wei Lihuang's anger suddenly rose, and now he is attacking Moscow!  The fall of the Soviet Union happened in these two months. There are more than 4 million Chinese and German troops around Moscow and more than 10,000 tanks. The Soviets' few tanks are not enough. Even if they defeat the 22nd Army, what will happen?  Wasn't it crushed by the overwhelming armored power of the Chinese and German armies?  What they are doing now is obviously to support themselves!

    "Air support! Call for air support!" Wei Lihuang knew that his thin line of defense could not withstand the impact of so many tanks no matter what - you must know that in the previous battle, the troops had already lost a lot of anti-tank weapons.  Got it!  The only hope now is that the German air support will be stronger.

    ¡°But the Germans can¡¯t send too many planes now.  Because at this time, their own troops were attacking the western and southern fronts of Moscow. More than 2 million troops were fighting fiercely on the battlefields in the western and southern parts of Moscow. The German Air Force was also going all out to provide air support.  Naturally, there is not much spare power to help the Chinese.  However, this time they still sent thirty-two hs-129s and sixteen Stukas equipped with 30mm anti-tank guns.  These two aircraft are probably the most powerful anti-tank weapons in the hands of the German Air Force, but the total number of forty-eight is still not enough to suppress the Soviet tanks covering the entire battlefield.

    "Attack! Attack! Don't stop!" Konev also got on a Su-76 assault artillery at this time, with half of his body sticking out from the open top cover of the assault artillery, and waving a red flag vigorously, with a big  Shouting - After losing radio communication, only primitive semaphores can be used to command the troops.  At this time, on the Losino-Petrovsky battlefield.  There were also many Soviet tanks that were not sure where to attack. Seeing that the tank group commanded by Konev was attacking eastward, they also turned their vehicles eastward.  The pressure on Su Y's end suddenly eased a lot, but Wei Lihuang's end was a bit dangerous.  Originally, he could have deployed troops from the left wing and center to reinforce the right wing, but now it seemed that everything was going to be tight.

    "Commander, Commander Li, let us hold on for another 30 minutes. Our tanks will be coming soon!" This was a staff officer who quickly ran to Wei Lihuang.  Loud report.

    "Got it, go and reply to Chief Li. He wants our 22nd Army to hold on as long as he wants!" Hearing that his own armored troops would come up for reinforcements in half an hour, Wei Lihuang suddenly felt confident and ordered loudly:  "Tell the tanks and anti-tank guns to get close to the enemy and attack them. The 75mm anti-tank guns and 105mm recoilless rifles wait until the target is within 1,000 meters before they can fire. The 75mm recoilless guns wait until the target is within 500 meters before they can fire. The C-type tank retreats to lure the enemy.  .¡±

    The total combat weight is only 15 tons, and the main gun caliber is only 45mm.  Although the lightly armored C-type tank still has room to fully display its power on the battlefields in India, Japan, and the Nanyang Islands, it is really not enough to be displayed on the battlefield outside Moscow.  The Soviet T-28 and Su-76 can't defeat the Panther and Cheetah, but they can't deal with the C-type tank.  Therefore, Wei Lihuang did not dare to let the C-type tanks compete head-on with the enemy's tank clusters. He could only let them show off to attract the enemy's attention and create an opportunity for the lurking anti-tank guns and recoilless rifles to annihilate the enemy.  Chance.

    "C-type tanks, C-type tanks, rush up, hurry up, don't let them escape!" The commanders of the Soviet tanks rushing at the front all saw these small C-type tanks that were slowly retreating.  Their courage was immediately aroused to the limit, and they all shouted and rushed towards the Chinese defense line in front of them, which had not even dug anti-tank trenches.  However, before they had rushed far, fireballs erupted one after another under the tracks of the Soviet tanks. It turned out that Wei Lihuang's troops had taken advantage of the Soviet tank group's southward attack to plant many anti-tank mines in front of their positions.  .

    "Fire, 75mm anti-tank guns, 105mm recoilless rifles, fire! Hit me hard!" Seeing the Soviet tanks trapped in the minefield, several Wehrmacht division commanders who were in front of the frontline command almost simultaneously picked up the phone and ordered to fire.  These people have been fighting mechanized warfare for several years.Yes, we know how dangerous anti-tank guns are when facing enemy tank groups. Unless there is a strong bunker, these artillery must fire a few shots and change places. However, for the 75mm anti-tank gun that cannot be maneuvered, I want to  It was impossible to quickly move positions during the battle, so they could only be used as disposable weapons in order to destroy the Soviet tanks as much as possible before the opponent counterattacked.

    "Load! Aimfire!" Hao Bowen, the gunner of the 22nd Artillery Regiment's anti-tank gun battalion, is only 19 years old, but he has been an experienced artilleryman fighting with the Soviets on the Siberian battlefield for two years. For the 75mm anti-tank gun  The performance and corresponding tactics are already familiar to me.  After receiving the order to fire, he immediately directed his artillery crew to complete a series of tactical actions such as loading, aiming, and firing in the shortest possible time.  After the first shell was fired, he and his brothers quickly started another round of loading, aiming, and shooting without even checking whether it hit the target.  Because they all know that the two most important tips for playing anti-tank guns are "fast" and "accurate". They must fire the most shells in the shortest time, and at the same time, they must be accurate.  In normal training, the most basic requirement for each artillery team is to fire 6 shells within 2 minutes, and 5 of them must hit the vehicle target 1,500 meters away. The artillery team in Hao Baicun can do 6 rounds.  all hit!

    "Boom, boom, boom" The Soviet tanks and infantry trapped in the minefield soon suffered a devastating round of killings.  The 75mm anti-tank guns, 105mm recoilless rifles, machine guns and mortars on the Chinese army's position fired at the same time, smashing the steel plates of the Soviet tanks and beating the hordes of infantry and engineers who came to remove anti-tank mines.  Flesh and blood flew everywhere.

    But the one-sided massacre did not last for a few minutes. The Soviet tank group soon stopped advancing and began to counterattack with their 76.2mm, 45mm and 57mm cannons.  When the first artillery shell exploded near Hao Bowen's artillery battery, the order to abandon the anti-tank gun and retreat had already been issued - for the current Federal Defense Force of Greater China, the value of a heavy anti-tank gun is far greater than that of a heavy anti-tank gun.  It is an excellent anti-tank gun crew, so when it is attacked by enemy artillery fire, there is no need for orders from superiors. The anti-tank gun crew must abandon the anti-tank gun and move!

    "Hurry up, load up! Shoot again!" Hao Bowen, who was probably addicted to the shot, refused to retreat in time. He asked the loader to load an armor-piercing bullet and aimed it at a car whose tracks were broken by an anti-tank mine.  su-76 fought out.

    "Boom!" With a sound, this Russian tank destroyer, which was modeled after a Stalker tank destroyer, instantly turned into an orange ball of fire.  Seeing that he had made a great contribution, Hao Bowen reluctantly left the artillery position. However, before running far, a Russian 57mm grenade exploded less than 10 meters away from him.  The fragments and shock wave of the shot immediately beat the 19-year-old boy to a bloody state. Finally, he lay in the army's field hospital for half a month before he was out of danger.

    "Good fight! Good fight!" Konev, who was personally commanding the front line, saw the anti-tank guns of the Chinese army being silenced one after another. He danced with excitement and shouted loudly: "Let the infantry and engineers rush up and remove the mines.  Drive the Chinese devils out of the trenches!"

    "Ula! Charge! For the sake of the motherland!"

    Under the cover of Soviet tanks and assault artillery, thousands of Soviet soldiers shouted slogans and poured into the thin defense line of the Chinese army like a tide.  By this time, how could they not know what kind of misfortune their motherland was facing?  And these Chinese people who were fighting from more than 10,000 kilometers away were the enemy bandits who put the Soviet Union into dire straits. Although it was impossible to drive them back to East Asia, it would be good to kill one more!

    "Tanks! Let the tanks come up!" Seeing this scene in front of him, Wei Lihuang knew that his defense line was about to undergo a test of life and death, and it was very likely that he could not hold it!  Now there are at least tens of thousands of Russians attacking with the support of seven to eight hundred tanks.  Therefore, he ignored the fact that the C-type tanks were not very hard to fight, and repeatedly ordered the tanks that had just retreated to lure the enemy to move forward and use their 45mm cannon and machine guns to support the infantry in front.

    Brutal melee combat unfolded across the defense lines of the 22nd Chinese Army. Soviet soldiers wearing khaki military uniforms and carrying Mosin-Nagant rifles with bayonets quickly rushed to the front of the Chinese army's positions.  "Fix bayonets!" As the officers roared, the Chinese infantrymen in the trenches took out bayonets from their scabbards and inserted them into the muzzles of their guns. Then they climbed out of the trenches and started the bloodiest hand-to-hand battle with the Soviet army!  (To be continued)
