He was loading his upper body like a bear, and the brown military trousers on his lower body were wet and tied around his waist by a cowhide belt. \ .The grenade of more than 20 kilograms looks as light as straw in the big hand like a cattail leaf fan. The running bolt was wide open, shells were stuffed into the barrel one after another, and the Gaudi machine and the direction angle were being fiddled with, buzzing. "Fire the gun! Fire the gun! Fire the gun!" After the loading of the shooting elements was completed, with the order from the officer in front of the artillery team mirror, the match rope was pulled. The stubby barrels of the entire artillery battalion's 12 1910-type 122mm field guns shook violently, spitting out large clouds of fire and smoke. Black smoke clouds suddenly rose from the Fourth Army position pointed at the muzzle. The roaring shells spit out, directly sending smoke and shrapnel flying across the flat ground on the opposite side! A section of the communication trench between the main positions was completely blown away, and burning wooden piles, clods of earth and shrapnel flew across the field. The nearby officers and soldiers instinctively hugged their helmets and lowered their bodies close to the trench, struggling to stay on their feet. "Quick, assemble, assemble!" "Dawalixi (tongzhi), don't squat in the corner like a coward, get up! It's time to let the enemy see the power of the workers and peasants' Chinese army! Come and report, bring out the Chinese soldiers "Victory belongs to us, long live Soviet Union!" Amidst the roar of artillery, the political officer wearing a black leather jacket and a brown big-brimmed hat stood up excitedly, with mud and water splashing on his feet. . These veterans who had experienced the Civil War and World War I could no longer sit still, smelling the thick smoke in the air. Veins popped up on his excited neck. They were walking feverishly back and forth on the starting position, driving the Outer Mongolian Army soldiers who had been herdsmen not long ago to quickly form a team in the mud. At the officer's command, three-edged military thorns were mounted on the knife holders. "For the Soviet Union, advance to Davarich!" A Nagant 1895 revolver was tied to the belt with a rope, holding the pistol high, and an elderly political officer pointed at the opposite side and shouted fanatically. Immediately, he rushed out without hesitation, the riding boots on his feet causing mud and water to splash all the way. "Woo!" A Soviet Army advisor assigned to the company level. Holding the pistol high as well. He roared and launched a charge. A group of people pulled and pulled the Outer Mongolian Army soldiers, and rushed forward under the cover of artillery fire. The excited and expectant Soviet officers were in sharp contrast to the confused and frightened Outer Mongolian troops around them. The Kwantung Army, which was determined to kill someone with a borrowed knife, had a rare moment of realism. From Jinan to Fengtian. Experience and lessons gained in exchange for tens of thousands of dead souls. Selectively conveyed to the Soviet Army. Belkin, the director of the Soviet Military Intelligence Bureau, quickly transferred the information provided by the Kwantung Army to the Far East Special Group Army (not yet called the Far East Army. The previous article is incorrect). Before the Great Purge, a large number of commanders who fought on the Eastern Front during World War I and the Soviet-Russian Civil War filled the Soviet army¡¯s central command system. The more the better, the less the better. Naturally, these commanders, who have been fighting for a long time, take them very seriously. Quickly, additional heavy artillery of more than 100 mm and the latest domestic R-1 fighter jets were transferred from the Far East Army's warehouse to reinforce Outer Mongolia. When the first round of the attack failed and the participating troops suffered heavy losses, these heavy weapons kept at the bottom of the box were quickly put into battle. "Boom~~~Boom~Boom~~Boom!" The overwhelming heavy artillery hit, and the position held by the Fourth Army was suddenly shrouded in gunpowder smoke. The defenses on the entire position were blown to pieces, shrapnel buzzed and flew up and down, people were constantly being hit and fell to the ground, and the floating soil on the surface was mixed with traces of blood and gunpowder smoke that could not be dissolved. The gun parts that were blown up in the shelling were scattered sporadically in the devastated trenches along with the broken limbs. The soldiers who had got into the anti-gun holes were also shaking violently, as if the sky was about to collapse! These newly added heavy artillery are the Schneider 1910 122mm field guns ordered from France during the Tsarist Russia, with a maximum range of 11.8 kilometers. In terms of range and power, they are almost the same as the M1938 122mm howitzers of the Fourth Army Division Artillery Regiment. Even during the Second World War, the various technical indicators did not seem to lag much behind (during the Anti-Japanese War, the bald Su Weapon Division was equipped with this thing). For the first time, the artillery superiority that the Fourth Army was proud of was useless. The 21.8 kilogram grenade is far from comparable in power to the Japanese 75mm field gun. During the continuous bombardment, a large number of machine gun fire points and anti-gun holes and other defenses were blown up one after another. The entire position was bombed to pieces and full of craters, and the number of casualties continued to rise. The regiment's M-1 75mm mountain gun was far inferior to the 122mm field gun on the opposite side in terms of range and power. The regiment's mountain artillery battalion, which had suffered losses in the previous artillery fire, was squeezed out soon after. stage. "Woo-boom!" "Fuck!" Li Yannian, who was covering his eyes with tears and his body covered in mud, cursed fiercely. ¡°The regiment¡¯s 75th Mountain Artillery Battalion has all been withdrawn.??? "Li Yannian wiped the eyepiece and approached the artillery mirror again and asked in a low voice. "Sir, everyone is withdrawing! There were 18 75mm mountain guns in a battalion. Four of them were blown up by Lao Maozi in one round of shooting. If they were left behind, they would be used as targets for the enemy! "Rubbing his ears that were almost deafened, a staff officer came up and replied loudly. "Damn, this is only the second day. If we continue to work like this, the casualties of the entire regiment, the entire division, and the entire army will be inevitable! "As far as the eye could see, the entire defensive position was in a mess. Li Yannian, who had participated in the Battle of Jinan, said bitterly to himself. "During the Battle of Jinan, the bald man who regarded himself as the head of state was humiliated by a small Zhonggong Town. The Northern Expeditionary Army's First Army, which consisted of more than 100,000 soldiers and lost many generals, was intimidated and silent in the face of the Japanese interventionist force of more than 5,000 people. The bald man did not dare to say a harsh word. The city of Jinan, along with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, was abandoned to the Japanese. A group army was chased all the way to Feicheng by thousands of Japanese troops. You lost it and we took it back! Trapped in Jinan alone, against two elite permanent divisions of the Japanese army, more than 50,000 Japanese soldiers, including two lieutenant general division commanders, and dozens of Japanese HNA fighter jets, all remained in Jinan! Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1898, the vast country of China has been left to its own devices and suffered oppression and humiliation. When has there ever been such an elated event? As an officer who has personally experienced the Battle of Jinan, Li Yannian won several consecutive victories. , I can't help but feel a little bit excited. That's what happened to the Japanese army who forced the former protagonist to flee Feicheng! It's not like he can't be killed with two shoulders! After the backlog of national plot suddenly broke out. Doctrine does have a certain market within the Fourth Army. Only when the Soviet army's large-caliber artillery shells fell did they really wake up. "Woo! "No matter what Li Yannian in the command post thought, under the cover of artillery fire, a group of Soviet officers enthusiastically led (or drove) the Outer Mongolian army to rush to the barbed wire fence full of corpses again. The round blasting tubes exploded along with the artillery fire. The gap was opened, and the detonation was about to begin. Before the blaster could pull the fuse, the flames flashed towards the Outer Mongolian army, and Makqin shouted loudly. The sound almost hit the chests of the soldiers. Almost immediately, the charging Outer Mongolian army fell to pieces in a hail of bullets. In the mud pillar, a layer of the raging human wave was cut off, and the beaten corpses lay crookedly like cotton wool in the mud. "Fire, fire, push them back!" Request reinforcements from the division's heavy artillery regiment and smash the enemy down! "Li Yannian, whose voice was hoarse by the gunpowder smoke, faithfully performed the duties of the regiment leader and loudly ordered regardless. "Your Excellency, urgent report from the front, General Mandel of the Second Division has called personally. The Soviet army opposite us went crazy and mobilized a large number of heavy artillery to directly bombard our positions violently! Before the report was sent, the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces launched two attacks under the cover of heavy artillery, but were repelled both times. Nearly half of the fortifications built on the front line were lost, and the infantry suffered heavy casualties. General Model hoped to obtain more ammunition supplies and fire support! "The staff officer rushed in furiously. "Take out several division artillery regiments individually and combine them into a temporary artillery group. After receiving the request for fire support, we launched artillery bombardment on the same location at the same time according to the shooting plan! The heavy artillery brigade is reserved for emergencies and cannot be moved for the time being. " "Are you playing the American style at the same time? Sir, this is a defensive operation, and our artillery shells are likely to hit our own position! In addition, although this solves the trouble of fire support, it is not good news for us if we compete in a war of attrition. At present, we cannot produce 122- and 152-mm caliber heavy artillery shells on our own. The exchange price of a large-caliber artillery shell is almost twice that of a 75-mm artillery shell, which is not a small number when converted into silver dollars. In addition, the Russians also have a Far East Special Group Army in the Far East. Regardless of the opening of the Middle East route, they can get more artillery and reinforcements from the group nearby, while we can only rely on exchange unilaterally. At the current rate, our ammunition reserves may not be enough to sustain two consecutive battles! "Taking it out from the form submitted by the logistics department, Manstein smiled wryly and spread his hands. Konev on the side also nodded his head in agreement. "We must withdraw from the fighting in Mongolia as soon as possible and try our best to get out of the battle in Mongolia. Is it possible to avoid a war of attrition? "After tasting it carefully, Qin Mo immediately asked. "Yes, Your Excellency! ¡± "Suddenly rememberedWhat? Qin Mo came to the sand table without hesitation. "Focused bombing? Are you going to destroy the logistics transportation lines of the Soviet-Mongolian coalition? This may be a bit difficult, at least for now the Soviet army still has no chance of mechanization. They need to rely on the Trans-Siberian Railway for troop mobilization and material supplies in the Far East, and According to previous intelligence analysis and aerial reconnaissance, the total strength of the Soviet-Mongolian coalition forces opposite us is about 50,000, mainly concentrated on the front line of Buying City. The Far East Special Group Army supports a considerable amount of artillery and ammunition. Their logistics supplies mainly rely on cavalry. Complete, plus the cattle and sheep on the grassland, except for ammunition and medicine, everything else can basically be dealt with locally. " "Those horse teams are not large in size, and some are even ox carts, which are very concealable if targeted. Bombing the logistics supply line may not be effective unless you order the bombing of the Trans-Siberian Railway!" Konev bared his teeth in regret. "Including the two newly formed divisions, our total strength exceeds 100,000. Unless the Soviet Far East Special Group Army directly participates in the war, we can completely launch a counterattack! We have an absolute advantage in terms of strength, but the Soviet troops are deployed in Outer Mongolia. The fighter jets and heavy artillery are a big obstacle in front of us. It is unrealistic on the grassland to completely cut off the enemy's logistics transportation lines through bombing. But we can organize the limited aviation forces at hand. Bomb the enemy's rear. Material transfer stations, arsenals, and barracks can all be included in the attack range! Minimize the enemy's combat effectiveness before the general attack begins, and then seize the time. Launch a strategic counterattack!" Qin Mo boldly suggested while measuring the straight-line distance of the fighting area. 100,000 people were pitifully suppressed and beaten by 50,000 people. Damn it, this would have been possible in the era of Genghis Khan! Putting aside the arrogance behind the Outer Mongolia, the fighting power of these scumbags who died in Xu Shuzheng's hands is really not much better than Zhan Wuzhao. Except for the rapid fire of water and the cover of artillery fire behind them, the actual combat effectiveness of these Outer Mongolian troops, who were directly informed by Soviet advisers, was simply appalling. Every time he charged, Mao Zi rushed to the front to clear the way. When he couldn't reach Mosinagan's effective shooting range, he fired randomly as if he was emboldened. It was always a matter of minutes for him to be defeated under Maxim's praise! If the commanding Soviet officer hadn't shot a group of deserters, they probably wouldn't have survived until now. "Your Excellency, I guess Cullen can't do it. The distance is far away and the range is out of reach. By the way, according to the report of the Equipment Department, the twin-engine fast bomber you mentioned has been successfully put into service. If possible, this air attack operation can be dispatched just in time. Use it!" Manstein nodded impatiently.
