Chapter 535: A crushing battle. How to win this battle?
On the outskirts of the Chebarku battle zone, the two sides confronted each other with a huge tank cluster stretched out along a longitudinal line of nearly 40 kilometers.

However, only dozens of ground-guided tanks were put into battle.

The other chariots all stopped maneuvering, and all the soldiers suppressed their frenzied emotions.

They all clenched their fingers, pricked up their ears, held their breath, and waited for the order to fire.

The vanguard firepower can naturally open fire, because they have the right to clear the enemy's firepower and do not need to wait for unified dispatch from the command center.

But the rest of the main forces cannot be deployed at will.

Without unified command and dispatch instructions, if thousands of people and hundreds of tanks are left to their own devices, there's no point in even thinking about fighting a war.

Once they go out, I estimate that in less than a minute, our side will be in chaos.

Inside the rear command vehicle of the 169th Brigade.

Brigade Commander Victor stared at the battle zone ahead with a calm expression, listened to the reports from his subordinates from time to time, and kept an eye on the battle situation.

He had heard of the name of Field Army 99A a long time ago.

According to his intelligence, the field army's heavy armored cluster was extremely powerful, with 112 main battle tanks alone being deployed.

On their side, they are only equipped with 40 T90Ms.

When did the field army become so strong? This was the question that Victor kept asking when he first learned about the configuration of the 179th Brigade.

Because strictly speaking, the T90M can only be considered a second-and-a-half-generation tank, while the 99A is a third-generation main battle heavy tank.

In terms of the main force of mechanized warfare alone, our side is more than one level lower than the field army.

Victor wanted to see, or rather test the firepower, to see which tank was tougher.

Coincidentally, Chen Jun had the same idea as him.

Victor was not in a hurry to engage in large-scale combat because he had already prepared a killer weapon for the 99A main battle heavy tank.

That is, there are several Katyusha rocket vehicles ten kilometers behind the main force, which are also ready at this time.

You know, it is the Russians who are the real founders of big-gunism.

The Katyusha rocket launcher is more powerful than the field army's Type 11 122 rocket launcher. At least the former has 48 rocket tubes, while the latter only has 40 tubes.

Rather than saying that the battle zone was a test between the vanguard heavy tanks of both sides, it would be more accurate to say that it was a test between the two commanders.

. . . . . . . . .

Neither commander gave any rash orders.

This also made the battle at the front more fierce. The tank that had just taken a hit from the Russian armor-piercing bullet did not have time to celebrate its successful avoidance.

The three crew members continued to rush forward to fight the enemy.

But the battlefield is a battlefield after all, and occasional luck does not favor everyone.

For example, another tank not far from the previous tank was not so lucky.

The automatic loading system had just pushed out the brass casing of the armor-piercing shell, which hit the armored car before it could finish loading.

In the thick battlefield smoke, an armor-piercing bullet suddenly shot diagonally and hit the front of the vehicle.

There was a "boom" explosion.

A Type 99A was blown up and completely eliminated.

There is no way. One of the bugs of the 99A being locked by fire control is that the tank can only monitor the frontal firepower on the battlefield.

Actually, if you really want to talk about it, it can't be considered a BUG.

Just think about it, if there are a lot of equipment on the battlefield and the assault line is stretched out for several kilometers, if you fire from one end of the line to the other, if the equipment on the entire front line can sound an alarm and evade wherever a shell passes, wouldn't that be nonsense?

Therefore, it is normal that the 99A did not evade the Russian artillery shells fired at an angle from the assault line.

boom! boom! boom!
The battle continued, and as the distance between the two sides got closer and closer, the smoke bombs dissipated faster and faster.

The intensity of fighting in the war zone continues to escalate.

The 99A exploded, and the T90M was not much better.

Faced with the field army's current heavy equipment and the most proud third-generation information-based heavy tanks, the Russians' second-and-a-half-generation products had a very hard time fighting them.

In close-range combat, the evasion efficiency of the 99A alone is much higher than that of the Russians. This is not a system crushing, but a pure equipment advantage.

This also resulted in the 179th Brigade losing nearly ten heavy tanks within less than half an hour of the battle starting, and almost half of the Russian tanks, which were already few in number, were destroyed.

The opponent's vanguard commander had no choice but to change the position of the assault tanks and replace them in waves to barely keep the dynamic chain intact.

Facing our own side, we have the momentum of crushing them.

We charged straight into the enemy battle group and were almost reaching their front line.

On the 179th Brigade's command side, Feng Qiuhu, Fatty He and others finally and reluctantly accepted the combat data just displayed by the Wild Dog system.

After all, you have to accept it.

The Russians were known as the originators of the Iron Torrent, but as soon as the enemy's heavy tanks came into contact, almost half of them were lost.

On the other hand, our side had less than ten Type 99A tanks damaged, which was less than one-tenth of the entire brigade.

Doesn't this explain the problem?

Feng Qiuhu looked at the dozens of Type 99A main battle tanks on his side, who were originally only responsible for clearing the way without any instructions.

They're almost driving the road to the enemy's lair and firing at them at close range.

Feng Lu frowned and said hastily, "Chen Jun, we can't let them run rampant like this anymore."

"If we continue to fight, it won't be a test. The Russians will definitely take countermeasures."

Hearing this, Chen Jun pondered for a moment.

He also didn't expect that the time when both parties arrived at the combat zone would be so coincidental, and they would meet in the A17 area at the same time.

It's too late to establish a defensive position now.

What's more, he didn't want to waste time building a defensive position.

"Brigade Commander, it just so happens that our main battalion detachment has only been training since its establishment and has not participated in combat. Let's test the detachment's firepower first."

See the brigade commander didn't refute.

Fatty He immediately issued an order, ordering the vanguard tanks to stop the attack, and the main forces of the first and second battalions were divided into fourteen teams to go out.

Accompanying instructions are issued.

The soldiers from the 179th Brigade who had been watching the battle stepped on the accelerator without any hesitation.

In an instant, a convoy of dozens of 04A infantry fighting vehicles, mortar and howitzer vehicles, troop carriers, repair vehicles, medical vehicles, etc. started moving.

Facing the withdrawing main battle tank, they were ready to try out the power of the combat unit, that is, the combined company.

This is the best place to train troops.

Unfortunately, the Russians did not have a tacit understanding this time. Victor, commander of the 169th Brigade, learned that the field army tanks were retreating and many tanks were dispatched from the rear.

It's obviously a coordinated tactic.

It’s not that Victor didn’t understand the field army’s intentions, but that he simply couldn’t afford to play the game.

Dozens of tanks drove them back step by step.

If the main force of two battalions comes up, what’s the point of fighting?
If things go wrong, we might not be able to hold out against the enemy's full-scale firepower and be defeated.

He cannot afford such consequences.

"fire!!"

Victor gave the order with a stern face, and at the same time ordered his own T90M to take advantage of the artillery fire extending to the field army cluster and launch an all-out attack to wipe out part of the enemy's main force in one fell swoop.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
As Victor issued the order, rockets flew in the sky like rain. The Katyusha rocket launcher position in the rear was only ten kilometers away from the battlefield, and the ground-to-ground extension tactics were quickly put into effect on the battlefield.

The rhythm of artillery and tank coordination has officially begun.

The retreating Field Army 99A, faced with the sudden attack of rockets, had to disperse and slow down the speed of the team's gathering.

As I said, rocket launchers can hit non-mobile targets with one shot, but against highly mobile targets like this, it is purely a matter of luck.

Boom boom boom! !

The ground is shaking.

High-altitude drones captured the Russians accelerating their assault with heavy equipment, hoping to use the coordination of artillery and tanks to defeat the coordinated firepower of their own squad.

Chen Jun's facial expression and eyes turned sideways immediately.

"Order, the rear rocket artillery company aims at the enemy's mobile combat zone ahead, three rounds of bombing, fire!!"

"Yes!!"

Chen Jun stared at the battlefield intently. He chose to use a counter-attack approach, on the one hand to train the squad's combat capability, and on the other hand to defeat the Russians in the area where they were best at.

Boom boom boom.
As both sides fully activated the tactics of artillery and tank coordination, countless rocket launchers hit the ground in the entire core combat zone.

For a moment, smoke and dust rolled up, and even the earth was shaking.

The original mobile warfare turned into a car-ramming war due to the second charge by both sides and the need to avoid rocket launchers, smoke-filled battlefield and obstructed vision.

In this fight, both sides were furious. The Russians were determined to rely on the coordination of artillery and tanks to defeat the multi-service coordination of the field army.

As for the field army, the squad had been training for so long, but this was the first time they appeared on the battlefield.

Damn it, who is afraid of who?
In an instant, there was bombardment, charge, evasion, cluster strangulation, and mortar assistance.

The most intense climax of the land battle between the two sides has arrived.

On the Chebarku Plain, the two sides in the battle zone collided, their vehicles crossed each other, and their charging arrows pierced into the enemy's land group formations.

The entire battlefield was like the ancient heavy cavalry charging at each other, wantonly destroying the enemy's organizational capabilities.

The Field Army 99A charging at the front showed what a fearless charge meant. There were dozens of tank crews on the contact surface, and their vehicles were constantly damaged and exploded.

In subsequent waves, they ignored the increasing number of enemy tanks joining in and continued to replace them with fearless momentum.

Smash one and follow the next one.

In short, the speed of the attack of both sides will never be slowed down due to the bombing. The tanks will maintain half the speed of the artillery fire limit and bring the impact aspect of the war to the extreme.

Boom boom boom! ! !
The fighting became more and more intense, and the combat areas involved became larger and larger.

The second round of attack lasted only half an hour.

The clustered dynamic chain of the field army's ground forces actually reached a terrifying depth of 10km.

Do you know what this means?

This means that at the beginning Chen Jun just wanted to test the combat effectiveness of the two battalions' detachments, but after trying for half an hour.

Unexpectedly, the original battle zone could not meet the momentum of the field army's assault, and it plunged headlong into the 10-kilometer encirclement of the main force of the Russians.

The battlefield area was expanded to tens of square kilometers, forcing the Russians to increase their investment in tanks.

The test is almost turning into a decisive battle.

What's more, the Russian 169th Brigade, this old mechanized brigade, seemed to be unable to withstand the continuous attack of two main battalions of heavy armored troops, just as the Wild Dog Information System assessed.

Hundreds of vehicle crews and thousands of fighters were fighting in a small area.

In some areas, the tanks of the two armies were only twenty meters apart, and the two sides engaged in frantic roundabout shooting at each other.

There were even closer ones, perhaps intentional or due to improper operation, a 99A and a T90M were both squeezed and overturned.

Even so, there was no way to quell the fighting spirit of both sides.

As long as the crew members are not eliminated, even if the tank overturns, the field army will climb out of the vehicle, carrying individual rocket launchers, and transform from armored soldiers to infantry, looking for the Russians to fight all over the map.

The joint directing department obviously did not expect that the two sides would test the exchange of fire to such an extent.

As a last resort.

Li Hongtao and Anton could only mobilize a large number of referees from the director's department and take helicopters into the battlefield.

Damn it, the number of referees coming over is almost exceeding the number of combatants.

Have no idea.

The Russians were better off, at least not that crazy, and the field army soldiers fully demonstrated what it meant to use all forces to kill the enemy.

On the battlefield, veterans in green military uniforms can be seen everywhere, with red star-studded flags on their chests, looking for their targets with red eyes.

If you have a gun, shoot; if you don’t have a gun, use a cannon; if you don’t have a cannon, throw a grenade; if you really have nothing, then it doesn’t matter.

As long as it is not a mechanical combat vehicle, he will immediately pounce on the roof of the enemy vehicle and try to pull the enemy driving the vehicle out with both hands.

He can hit people even with a helmet.

The situation was on the verge of getting out of control.

This type of individual soldier is the most difficult to control because they have no tanks and many of them do not carry individual radios. On the battlefield, they are just single and cannot hear the commands from above.

The squad leader and platoon leader didn't know where he had gone.

This is the most dangerous time bomb.

The Russians have few tanks to begin with, and although they can make up for the number with various infantry fighting vehicles, that only makes up for the number.

The quality is not so good after all.

As the number of T90Ms continues to decrease, the situation is almost becoming one-sided.

This is not finished.

As everyone knows, under the leadership of Chen Jun in the 179th Brigade, there are not many other people in the brigade, except for the old six.

During the overall combat interspersion process, the crew of one of the tanks of the 1st Battalion did not consider how to coordinate combat with the squad, but drove the tank to hide behind two damaged vehicles.

With the help of the anti-artillery fire slope cover, they waited for the Russian mechanized infantry battalion to pass by the position and rush to the battlefield for support.

They suddenly drove their tanks, extended their gun barrels, and used their shooting field advantage to specifically target the tail end of the enemy mechanized infantry battalion.

Seven enemy infantry fighting vehicles were destroyed one after another.

In the end, because this place was no longer safe, he drove the tank to another location and continued to hide and attack.

Even the Russian soldiers didn't expect that these people were so patient. They hid there and didn't fire, just waiting to hit their support troops.

The war has reached this level.

If you look down at the entire battlefield from a high altitude.

It can be seen that at a depth of ten kilometers, the 169th Brigade was completely defeated. In the combat zone, traces of the steel tracks left thousands of gullies on the ground.

Victor was very clear at this moment.

The land forces on their side were almost exhausted and could not defeat the coordinated firepower dispatched by the field army.

The Katyusha rocket launcher, the big gift he prepared for the 99A, was completely useless. The opponent's heavy firepower always gave him a feeling that the more he fought, the more he would lose.

If they continue to fight like this, their entire 169th Brigade will inevitably be exhausted, and they will slide further into the abyss of failure.

In other words, as soon as the battle started, Victor had lost his previous arrogance.

This was because a large part of the field army's firepower had not been used, but their side could not hold on any longer.

This gap is too big.
