Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After the frantic regiment settled the wounded, the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division began to retreat.  Hundreds of medical soldiers and military medical officers voluntarily stayed to take care of these wounded. For them, the division commander could only give his blessings.  At the order of the division commander, the Fourth Mechanized Infantry Division concentrated all the remaining self-propelled artillery and large-caliber mortars in the division and opened fire violently at the 54th Group Army's position, creating a wall of fire.  The digital artillery brigade of the 54th Group Army immediately opened fire to suppress it, and the two sides launched a fierce artillery battle.  Taking advantage of the digital artillery brigade being held back by its own artillery group, the Fourth Mechanized Infantry Division concentrated one hundred and fifty M1A1 main battle tanks, made a desperate move, and carried out an all-out assault backwards in the heavy rain - yes,  Even if they attack backwards, they are already surrounded. No matter which direction they attack, they will attack forward.  The two regiments of the 160th Motorized Infantry Division in this direction were suddenly attacked by such a huge tank group, and they were a little confused - the m1a1 ranked among the top three in the world in terms of comprehensive performance, and more than a hundred such tanks rushed over.  , the impact can be imagined.  The two infantry regiments urgently called the digital artillery brigade, directing passively guided artillery shells to carry out top-attack attacks on the approaching tanks. From time to time, large groups of orange fire burst out in the rain curtain, and the turret of the main battle tank hit by the shells shattered, followed by  The infantrymen behind were killed and wounded.  This still doesn't work. The 4th Mechanized Infantry Division has already gone all out, regardless of losses. Groups of them are pressing forward. One car was destroyed, and the ones behind it were immediately replaced. 105mm howitzers and 120mm self-propelled mortars rained down.  The trenches were turned into a quagmire of boiling sewage. The roaring shrapnel tore the bodies of the soldiers who were carrying anti-tank missiles and anti-tank rocket launchers to shoot at the tanks. The trenches were abandoned like this, and the defense line of the 160th Motorized Infantry Division  Being penetrated alive, the Fourth Mechanized Infantry Division swarmed in, tearing the gap wider and breaking out!  However, the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division, which successfully broke out of the encirclement, immediately ran into an iron wall: the 11th Armored Division had arrived quickly and launched smoothly.  There was nothing to say. The sweating M1A1 driver stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the steel behemoth weighing dozens of tons roared and rushed forward.  The Type 68 main battle tanks and the Type 69a main battle tanks also rushed over, and the most brutal armored battle broke out between the two sides since the war began.  The muzzle of each tank's main gun is emitting scorching flames. The tail-stabilized sabot armor-piercing projectiles fly out with hot air waves at several times the speed of sound. They penetrate the armor with amazing kinetic energy and reach temperatures of several thousand degrees.  Using molten copper, vaporized depleted uranium warhead materials and armor fragments were used to spread the death cloth in the narrow space inside the vehicle.  Tanks were constantly being hit by bullets, bursting into flames and exploding, and armored vehicles were constantly being knocked over and then rolled into ugly discus by main battle tanks.  Rows of flaming stars flashed across the sky, and the Wing Loong turboprop fighter that had just won a great victory also came over with anti-tank missiles mounted on it to join in the excitement.  This group of flying gods of death were not afraid of the harsh sky. They roared over the battlefield and fired the Red Arrow anti-tank missiles at the armored tops of the M1A1s. Under the wing blades, large groups of fire exploded one after another, and the Red Arrow anti-tank missiles exploded one after another.  The lethality of the missile is obvious to all. If you hit it, you will be dismembered. Injured?  Hua Jun expressed no interest.  But the Fourth Mechanized Infantry Division is not easy to mess with. All anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft missiles, and anti-aircraft machine guns fired violently into the sky. Anti-aircraft missiles were launched at a very close distance, chasing the low-flying turboprop fighters. Once hit,  Pilots often don't even have a chance to parachute, and even the man and the plane turn into a ball of fire.  The firepower net woven by anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns is even more mind-numbing. If a fighter plane flies through this net of death, no fighter plane will be hit.  Amidst the roar, turboprop fighters were constantly being beaten into a ball of fire, or crashing down with bullet holes and thick smoke. However, before they crashed down, at least two or three M1A1s or even a dozen armored vehicles became  Their grave goods.  After paying a heavy price of forty or fifty tanks being destroyed, the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division broke through the iron wall of the 11th Armored Division and broke out again.  However, most of the tanks were entangled, and more and more 68 main battle tanks poured out from all directions, attacking them and unable to escape.  Without any hesitation, the division commander decisively ordered the entangled tank units to be abandoned, and the main force retreated quickly toward the Dnieper River without stopping.  Their retreat was extremely resolute. When they encountered the Chinese or Soviet defense lines, they used tanks and armored vehicles to fill it. The digital infantry rushed forward despite the cold rain and artillery shells denser than raindrops, demolishing the anti-tank trenches and blasting them to block them.  The concrete triangular piles of tanks destroyed minefields, and they started a desperate battle with the Chinese army's scouts. When they ran out of bullets, they used daggers or even punched and kicked them. Once they were entangled by the Chinese army, they would never have a chance to go back. The main force  Will not stop and wait for them.  They had to pay a heavy price every time they broke through a line of defense, but the attacks became more resolute and swift. The 54th Army was never able to block their main force, and could only adopt tactics of peeling carrots to weaken them bit by bit.  To be fair, the Fourth MechanizationThe Army Division is the most mechanized and digitalized ground combat force in the world. Its combat effectiveness is beyond everyone's imagination. If they are determined to break through, they want to be retained without air force support.  ,is very difficult.  The 54th Group Army was also jealous. The main force of the entire army was chasing after them. Passively guided artillery shells and 403mm rocket launcher shells chased the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division and hit them hard, leaving them dead and injured.  However, the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division was always attacking and advancing, and had no intention of stopping and fighting them.  The angry commander of the 54th Group Army asked the Soviet frontline air force to immediately take off attack aircraft to bomb the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division, but the Soviet side replied that the rain was too heavy and the attack aircraft could not take off.  This is not an excuse. The weather is really bad. It rains non-stop and is mixed with hail. Even the sturdy and durable Soviet attack aircraft are unable to bear it. To force them to take off is tantamount to forcing them to commit suicide.  When the rain stopped, the attack planes were finally able to take off, and the NATO fleet also attacked thousands of miles away. The air raid quickly turned into an air battle.  It¡¯s five o¡¯clock in the morning.  The closer to winter, the longer the dark nights in Eastern Europe become. In other regions, it is already dark at this time, but in Ukraine, at five o'clock, the cold night still covers the earth, and there is no trace of light.  The sky was constantly illuminated by the firelight of exploding bombs, as bright as day, and then was stubbornly pulled back to darkness by God.  The Fourth Mechanized Infantry Division fought and retreated, while the 54th Group Army pursued them closely. The two sides were fighting inextricably.  Companies and even battalions of troops were constantly being surrounded or even eaten by the Chinese army, and there were fewer and fewer tanks. However, the division commander still had no intention of stopping and waiting for the troops that fell behind. Besides, there was no way he could wait.  .  After many hard battles, they finally saw the Dnieper River, and at the same time they also saw the pontoon bridges across the river and the Second Infantry Division troops guarding the bridgeheads.  The officers and soldiers of the whole division looked at each other in shock. They couldn't believe their eyes and bit their tongues hard. It hurt!  Not dreaming!  Boom boom boom boom¡ª¡ª Smoke and flames erupted from rows of gun muzzles on the east bank like lava. Groups of heavy artillery shells flew across the Dnieper River, flew over their heads, and smashed into the Chinese troops who were chasing them.  It was only now that these soldiers, who were half-dead from exhaustion, dared to believe that they had really stood out and that they had succeeded!  The division commander was roaring: "What are you talking about? Spring? Hurry up and cross the bridge! Stay with the tanks and cooperate with the brothers to guard the bridge. Everyone throw away all useless things and try to pack as lightly as possible! Hurry up, hurry, hurry, hurry! The enemy  The army will not give us much time. You have seen the power of their artillery. If they don't cross the bridge, when their self-propelled artillery comes up, there will be no chance to cross the bridge!" The hoarse roar reminded the soldiers that they threw  The heavy machine guns with all the bullets were thrown away, the self-propelled anti-aircraft guns with all the shells were thrown away, and the anti-tank missile launchers were thrown away. Trucks loaded with soldiers drove past the pontoon, and more people were  In the mud, he helped his injured comrades and walked quickly from both sides of the bridge.  The vehicle losses were so great that many wounded soldiers were unable to get on the vehicle at all and had to be carried on their backs.  Even this is still too slow. The capacity of several pontoon bridges is limited, and the time given to them by the Chinese army is even more limited. The pontoon bridge troops of the Second Infantry Division are so tired that they vomit blood and can only guarantee that the fourth mechanized infantry can be  With most of the division withdrawing, those tanks would have no chance to cross the bridge.  The division commander took the lead and walked down the icy-cold Dnieper River, holding on to the steel cable against the rapids, and walked to the other side with difficulty step by step. Many soldiers who were relatively strong and uninjured voluntarily gave up the opportunity to cross the bridge, and followed the division commander to hold on to the steel cable.  Wade across the river.  The cold river water made every cell in their bodies tremble. Their lips soon turned blue and white, and their blood seemed to be frozen. Everyone gritted their teeth and persisted. It took a lot of effort to get here. There were only a few steps left. There was no reason to give up.  Yes, if I wanted to give up, I wouldn¡¯t wait until now.  Facts have proved that the division commander did have foresight: the 54th Army could not tolerate them crossing the bridge calmly.  Not long after, there was a strange roar in the sky when 155mm heavy artillery shells flew through the air, which made people's calves twitch. Rows of shells fell from the sky, exploding clusters of water columns in the river.  Amidst the thunderous roar and rising mist, many soldiers who were extremely cold were lifted up high by the blast of air. Many of them lost their grip and disappeared from the river. Large areas of blood slowly spread on the water.  A pontoon bridge was hit by an artillery shell and broke into two parts with a terrifying roar. Red-burned steel components flew all over the sky together with vehicles and soldiers. Broken limbs rained down on the bridge and fell into the river.  , a large rain of blood fell from the sky, splashing the river and the broken bridge into blood red.  The commander of the artillery group of the Second Division shouted: "The artillery shells came from outside the range of our artillery. We can't suppress their artillery fire! Cross the river quickly, or you will all die!" Before he finished speaking, another pontoon bridge appeared.  It was cut in half by a 203mm heavy artillery shell, and the worst thing was that an ammunition truck was blown up.In the glare of the fire, hundreds of soldiers flew up like grass and grass swept by a hurricane. Their torn limbs and flesh almost buried the troops guarding the pontoon alive.  The last dozen or so self-propelled artillery vehicles of the Fourth Mechanized Infantry Division quickly dispersed and fired at the Chinese self-propelled artillery group away from the bridgehead to attract the Chinese artillery fire.  The artillery groups deployed on the west bank could not hit the Chinese artillery positions, but they could!  In the brutal bombardment, these self-propelled artillery were driven and destroyed. Even so, artillery shells continued to fall into the river, exploding a row of drainage columns in the river. Every time a group of artillery shells fell, there would be a shower of blood in the river.  , the screams almost overwhelmed the roar of the shell explosion. I don¡¯t know how many people were killed on the spot, let alone how many people were injured and then swept away by the torrent.  This was the most tragic scene of the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division in the entire war. At least 800 soldiers disappeared into the turbid waves of the Dnieper River and never came back.  The 54th Group Army not only bombarded them with artillery, but with the light of the exploding artillery shells, the troops guarding the pontoon bridge could even see their tank groups roaring towards them. They were determined to keep you in the east without stopping.  An's ferocity in using it as fertilizer for weeds is frightening.  The last few dozen tanks of the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division rushed forward without saying a word, followed closely by the armored units of the 2nd Infantry Division. So many people had died on the east coast, and they didn't care if more died!  The Chinese army's artillery fire became more and more fierce, and more and more tanks appeared in the sight of the Second Division. One after another, the M1A1 was hit by bullets and caught fire. The Chinese army tanks bypassed the wreckage of these tanks and rushed towards the pontoon - and  Two pontoon bridges remained intact and allowed tanks to cross the river.  Now the M1A1 tank group has to retreat. If they don't retreat, they will be finished!  The division commander, who was soaked all over, sternly ordered the soldiers to abandon the tanks and run over as quickly as possible through the radio.  There was no other way. The armored soldiers used pistols to destroy key instruments inside the tank, and even threw a high-explosive grenade. Then they flew up and down on the soles of their feet and fled to the other side.  The tanks left at the bridgehead were pushing against each other, forming a huge obstacle. It was difficult for the Chinese tanks to break through this obstacle and rush over in a short period of time.  Every time an armored soldier came over, there was a burst of cheers from the other side.  But everything has two sides. Although the tanks left on the east bank blocked the impact of the Chinese armored forces, they also caused huge trouble for their own people to escape.  The division commander saw that small groups of troops continued to retreat, climbing and jumping with difficulty in the tank cemetery, trying to jump onto the pontoon. The Chinese army's bullets were fired accurately, knocking them down one by one from the tank turret.  He clenched his fists and squeezed out one word from between his teeth: "Detonate!" The engineer battalion commander said: "You can't detonate! There are still hundreds of people who haven't come over!" The division commander whipped out his pistol and held it against the battalion commander's head.  He screamed hysterically: "They can't get through! I order you to detonate! Blow up these two pontoon bridges!" Facing the division commander's blood-red eyes, the battalion commander sighed helplessly and gave the order to blow up the bridge.  The Demoman pressed the detonator and boom!  boom!  A huge fireball rose in the center of the last two pontoons. The seemingly heavy steel components were lifted high by the explosion shock wave and thrown dozens of meters away!  When the smoke and fireball disappeared, the two pontoons also disappeared from the river, leaving only a little bit with a fire burning and crackling on it.  The soldiers who were still struggling among the tank graveyard stopped all movements as if possessed, stared blankly at the blown-up pontoon bridge, and let out desperate cries.  Some people desperately jumped into the river and tried to grab the steel cable and walked over. More people sat on the ground, like stone Buddhas. They were too lazy to move until the Type 90 automatic rifle surrounded them.  one time.  The teacher fell to the ground like an empty bag, his shoulders kept shaking, he covered his face with his hands, tears seeped out from between his fingers, he opened his mouth again and again, wanting to cry, shout, roar,  I wanted to scream, but no sound came out.  The retreat of the Fourth Mechanized Infantry Division has ended. At this moment, only about 40% of the soldiers can still stand beside the division commander. More than 10,000 elite soldiers and hundreds of tanks are left here.  east coast.  This night is black for the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division and for NATO as a whole.  The ambulance drove over, and everyone carried the soaked division commander into the car, covered him with a blanket, and drove to the field hospital as quickly as possible.  The soft blanket dispelled the chill on his body, but could not dispel the coldness in his heart. The teacher stared at the gradually whitening sky outside the window, his lips moved, and he repeated one word in a voice that only he could hear clearly: "  Poltava, Poltava"
