I'm playing whack-a-mole in Siberia

Chapter 444 Science Fiction Blockbuster
During the Second Boer War, British troops were still lining up to be shot.

During the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese army made great progress and began to carry out civil engineering work. They no longer emphasized formations during the offensive, and skirmish lines began to appear.

Whether it is civil work or skirmishing lines, they are not outside the scope of traditional army operations.

George's first card was the Air Force.

When 20 Kirovs rose into the sky and flew slowly towards the Japanese position in Fengtian, the overwhelming pressure was simply unbearable to ordinary people.

Although the flying speed of the airship is slow, it is too big and can't be hit. George has experienced this feeling of being unable to save the enemy many times in the past two years.

Since oil had not yet become an industrial necessity, the power of incendiary bombs was not known to the outside world.

Japan does not produce oil. The only domestic oil-related industrial products are lamp oil. There are not even a few cars, and it is impossible to use precious oil to research incendiary bombs.

Shimose gunpowder claims to be able to melt steel, but due to lack of evidence, it is mostly a boast.

The burning temperature of the incendiary bomb is as high as 850 degrees, and the burning time can be up to 10 minutes. It is hard to say whether it can melt steel. It is certain that it will burn red.

Japan's Yawata Iron Works, after many twists and turns, finally produced its first batch of steel in December last year.

Sadly, just as the Yawat Iron Works was able to produce steel, the combined fleet was annihilated, and the iron ore from Kanto was gone.

Under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible for the Japanese army in Fengtian to use precious steel to build bunkers.

Japan relies on war to support war, so the wood that can be seen everywhere in Kanto became the main material for the Japanese army to build bunkers in Fengtian.

The spectacular scene of hundreds of incendiary bombs being thrown down at once made both Brusinov and Andrei dumbfounded.

Incendiary bombs never appeared in the Rivne exercises.

Although Andre knew the power of incendiary bombs, during the exercises in the Amur Military District, he would only throw one or two at most, but he had never been so generous.

Now Andre finally knows why in exercises in the Amur Military District, usually when an incendiary bomb falls, it will be judged by the command and the entire defense line will be destroyed.

Even though they were several kilometers apart, Andrei and Brusinov could almost feel the flames coming toward their faces.

Needless to say, the Japanese soldiers at the center of the flash point would die of suffocation due to depletion of oxygen even if they were not burned to death.

George originally planned to use rockets to wash the ground after the incendiary bombs, and finally committed ground troops.

But after seeing the power of incendiary bombs, Andrei and Brusinov agreed that there was no need to use rockets.

Okay, be diligent and thrifty!
"Armored units, advance!"

Following Andre's order, the Harbin Division's armored fighting vehicles, which had long been ready to go, kicked off the second Battle of Fengtian.

The first Battle of Fengtian ended with the defeat of the Russian army in Kwantung and the occupation of Fengtian by the Japanese army.

Although the Kwantung Russian army was defeated, it was not completely wiped out. After fleeing to Siping, they reorganized their defense lines and could still fight again.

The Japanese army in Fengtian completely lost the opportunity to reorganize. The bombing by Kirov airships caused heavy casualties to the two brigades deployed by the Japanese army at the forward position, with more than 4000 officers and soldiers killed.

The advantage of using incendiary bombs to the Japanese army was that there were only casualties and almost no serious injuries.

In this era, serious burns were equivalent to death in battle, and there was basically no need for rescue.

The three infantry regiments of the Harbin Division have now been transformed into armored regiments. Although each regiment only has 40 armored fighting vehicles, it is enough to crush the Japanese army.

The armored fighting vehicle has two crew members, one driver and one shooter. During combat, there will be a squad to cooperate with the armored fighting vehicle in combat.

Because the armored fighting vehicle is in combat mode, it cannot communicate with the outside world.

In order to cooperate closely with the infantry, Vladivostok technicians opened a closable door at the rear of the armored fighting vehicle. Through this door, the driver and shooter can communicate with the infantry in a timely manner.

The driver of tank No. 1017, Jin Dongwang, is from Korea, and the shooter Yevgeny is from Khabarovsk. The tank they drive is the forward of the Earl Armored Regiment.

The Harbin Division has three armored regiments, named Count Armored Regiment, Prince Armored Regiment, and Boucher Armored Regiment.

These three names come from the Earl Village, Prince Village, and Bushey Village of Khabarovsk respectively.

This is not made up, these three villages really exist.

Although in the Amur exercise, armored combat vehicles have repeatedly proven their ability to attack difficult situations.

But an exercise is an exercise, and actual combat is another matter. Therefore, after setting off, Jin Dongwang and Yevgeny were still quite uneasy.

"There is an enemy machine gun position at 45 degrees to the right front——"

Ivan, who was lying behind the turret of tank No. 1017 and observing with a telescope, kept reminding Jin Dongwang.

Jin Dongwang was half lying in the driver's seat and could only use the periscope to observe. The viewing angle was fixed and he operated in full accordance with Ivan's instructions.

"The enemy machine gun shooter has been scorched, and only the iron frame of the machine gun is left. There is no threat-"

There is also a periscope in Yevgeny's position.

"Slow down, we can't keep up-"

Ivan, who was following Chariot No. 1017, was very unhappy. After the incendiary bombs burned, the snow melted and mixed with the soil, making it difficult to walk on the rugged road.

Except for the driver Jin Dongwang, his entire family was killed by the Japanese.

Therefore, if Jin Dongwang saw a Japanese corpse while driving, he would definitely run over it without wasting bullets.

Although the incendiary bombs were powerful, they would not burn everything, because more Japanese officers and soldiers died of suffocation than were burned to death.

Therefore, after the crawler tracks ran over countless corpses, they inevitably became stained with some unknown human tissue.

Although the Harbin Division was established very early, for many officers and soldiers of the Harbin Division, this is also their first time on the battlefield.

The Harbin Division had been in Siping before, serving as the garrison of the Kwantung Russian Army Headquarters, and did not participate in the battles of the past few days.

So when Ivan saw a finger caught in the track, Ivan finally couldn't help but vomit.

"Oh oh oh, look what I found -" Radha, who was next to Ivan, dug out her finger and pulled off a ring.

Lada rubbed the ring on her clothes, put it in her mouth and bit it, her face full of surprise.

"gold!"

Ivan, whose stomach was already churning, finally couldn't bear it anymore and vomited like Ivan.

"Am I too bumpy?"

Jin Dongwang only heard someone vomiting and didn't know what happened.

"It has nothing to do with you, drive your car well!"

Yevgeny was not angry.

It's great to drive a chariot across the battlefield.

But being unable to collect trophies meant that the Cossacks lost most of the joy of fighting.

Okay, I'm fighting for the Empire! Fight for the Duke!

Yevgeny could only comfort himself in this way.

Rada's excitement has not faded away, squad leader Lev patted Rada on the shoulder, and Rada reluctantly handed the ring to Lev.

It is not that everything captured should be returned to the public, but should be distributed uniformly after the battle is over, otherwise the vehicle crew members will have to fight with the infantry on board the vehicle.

Since the Japanese army lacked experience in fighting armored fighting vehicles, there were no anti-tank trenches in front of the Japanese position. Tank No. 1017 successfully rushed into the Japanese position.

As soon as he rushed to the Japanese position, Yevgeny finally saw Japanese soldiers all over the mountains and plains in his periscope.

Dashanyan would not let the Russian army occupy the position, so after the Kirov bombing, reinforcements were immediately sent out in an attempt to enter the position and reorganize defense before the Russian army occupied the position.

Two legs can't run on the tracks.

What's more, they still have two short legs.

Ivan didn't need to remind him, Yevgeny roared loudly, and then the heavy machine gun started roaring crazily.

The biggest advantage of the tank is that the heavy machine gun has a longer ammunition chain and better firepower continuity.

The heavy machine gun equipped by the infantry usually has 100 bullets per ammunition chain in order to facilitate movement.

Theoretically, there are no restrictions on the chariot, and it can be as long as it wants.

dong dong dong-

The roar of the heavy machine gun is like a war drum, heart-stirring.

Jin Dongwang grinned a little.

The sound of the heavy machine gun is too loud, and it is even more unbearable in an enclosed space.

Almost at the same time that Yevgeny opened fire, Ivan subconsciously took out a grenade.

The main task of the infantry that cooperates with the tank operations is to protect the tank, prevent the enemy from getting close to the tank, and avoid causing damage to the tank.

Although Ivan is a precision shooter, the effect of grenades at this time is obviously better than that of rifles. This is also a lesson learned by the Amur Military Region through many exercises.

Lev is also a precision shooter. He relies more on the rifle in his hand, lying on the car body and shooting as fast as possible.

There are two types of bolts for Yuriev rifles. One is a straight-pull bolt commonly equipped with infantry, which is convenient for rapid shooting and can empty the magazine in a short time.

One is a rotary bolt. Because this type of bolt can use more powerful bullets, it is more used by precision shooters.

In an era when sights were not popular, discussing range was meaningless.

The direct-pull gun Yuriev's range can also reach 600 meters, which has exceeded the limit of mechanical sighting. At this distance, the crosshair is larger than the target, and accuracy depends entirely on feeling.

Therefore, most precision shooters still use Yuriev with a direct pull bolt, which is convenient for close combat.

For a skilled shooter, it only takes 20 seconds to empty the ten-round magazine of the Yuriev rifle.

This is because a certain degree of accuracy must be ensured. If you simply pursue the rate of fire, it can be faster.

It took Lev 15 seconds to empty all 10 bullets.

Just as Lev was leaning on the track to reload, the Japanese army finally couldn't hold on anymore and retreated like a tide.

The emergence of armored fighting vehicles was a nightmare for the Japanese army.

The firepower of the armored fighting vehicle is very strong. If the heavy machine gun hits a person, it can directly cut the person in two.

Murata's bullets hit the armored tank without even a white spot.

The Japanese soldiers who were cornered were very brave.

But bravery could not change the situation on the battlefield. When the Japanese army counterattacked, it had no effect on the armored fighting vehicles, and the Japanese army's fighting will quickly collapsed.

"Attack, attack, keep attacking!"

After the signing of the Treaty of Portsmouth, Hideki Tojo, who had just graduated from the Army Sergeant School and joined the Japanese Army in Kwantung, waved his command sword to prevent the defeated Japanese army from escaping.

Lev raised his gun, aimed at Tojo, and pulled the trigger.

Bah!
Tojo fell in response.

Lev remained mentally unfazed and continued to look for the next target.
