Age of Rebirth

.

Lieutenant General Liu Tiehan, deputy commander of the SPN Independent Division and commander of the Eastern Command, commanded the west bank of the Urez River to ambush the Third Army of the Soviet Far Eastern Front. After more than an hour later than originally planned, the battle finally started.

The Soviet soldiers who were marching were sitting on a bumpy truck like a small boat in the wind and rain. While drowsy, the guns of the large-caliber howitzer smashed down their heads, while the trucks on which the avant-garde troops were riding , was battered by dense light and heavy machine guns, and the partners around him were covered in blood holes and fell to their feet. The truck not far away, with a loud noise and a burst of flames, flew up together with the soldiers. Sky.

Only then did the Soviet soldiers realize that the battle broke out inadvertently. The troops of the Soviet Far East Front Army were indeed the troops that had been fighting with the Japanese Kwantung Army for several years in the Outer Xing'an Mountains. The regiment has fought against each other repeatedly, without losing ground.

After the first wave of artillery exploded, the soldiers had very rich combat experience. From the initial panic, they immediately reacted. Without the order of the commander, the infantry jumped out of the truck, lay down nearby, took out the engineering shovel, and desperately Excavating the fortifications, the artillerymen unloaded the artillery from the artillery carriages, and built positions on the spot. Artillery observers braved the howling cannons and began to determine the coordinates and orientation of the artillery positions of the independent division.

Commander Aslanov's order was also conveyed to each unit within the shortest possible time. His order was suspected to be correct. It became a sea of ​​flames. If the troops were ordered to retreat at this time, it was suspected that they would send groups of live targets to the artillerymen of the independent division. Before their own artillerymen were unable to fight back, they could only be bombed! [

It is even more impossible to stay still.The artillery of the independent division will not let go of every corner of the battlefield. Now they are attacking their own rear guards. After a while, the artillery will land on their own positions. This is a common sense problem. The only thing they can do is to attack. Mix with the infantry of the independent division to minimize the damage of artillery fire to the troops.I have a full army of more than 4 people in my hand.

The artillery and tanks are all ready, so it's not that they have no power to fight back. If they want to eat themselves in one bite, the Chinese will have to work hard, so I don't believe it.That Tang Qiuli would take out 10,000+ people to beat him, let alone.Dozens of kilometers behind.Still following the three armies with 10,000+ troops, thinking of this, Commander Aslanov calmed down.

Holding up the binoculars, after observing the battle situation for a while, he said to a staff officer beside him: "Send a telegram to the headquarters and report to Commander Yemenchenko, Deputy Chief of Staff. Our third army is about [-] kilometers deep on the west bank of the Urez River. The area was ambushed by the troops of the Independent Division, the battle is going on, and I have ordered the troops to launch an attack. In order to break through the enemy's ambush circle!"

After thinking for a while, he went on to say: "Judging from the intensity of the enemy's artillery fire, this is one of Tang Qiuli's main corps. Please quickly check the information of the troop number, commander's name, etc.! Send the telegram at the same time. To the General Staff."

On the west bank of the Urez River, in the East Pointing Headquarters, Li Guangjin, the chief of the combat department, reported to Liu Tiehan: "Reporting to the deputy division commander, the front troops called, and the Soviet infantry dug fortifications on the spot. In addition, the Soviet army dispatched about a brigade of tanks to cover the infantry to attack my forward position!"

Liu Tiehan snorted coldly, and said: "The reaction is quite fast! This is a counterattack. He is an old hand. He ordered the rocket artillery group to cover the Soviet tank column, and blasted these iron turtles into scrap iron. He ordered the front troops to use mortar Cannons, shelling the Soviet army's temporary position, I want to see how the Soviet army is holding on in the wild! Can you hold me a few shots, tell the artillery group to continue to intercept the Soviet army's retreat, and at the same time, pay attention to the counterattack of the Soviet army artillery, don't Give them a chance to fire their guns!"

More than 200 Soviet "T34" tanks were divided into three echelons and arranged in a wedge formation. Behind each tank, a squad of Soviet infantry followed, pointing eastward to the troops' positions on a front more than ten kilometers wide. , swooped over.

At this time, the gunfire on the front position of the Dongzhi troops suddenly stopped, and the Soviet soldiers who could only lie in a shallow ditch, unable to lift their heads under the weight of the rain, poked their heads out of the temporary trench suspiciously. , Looking at the light and heavy machine guns that were whistling like a gust of wind just now, why are you dumb?

The ground behind him was trembling, and the Soviet soldiers turned their heads. In the darkness, there was the "cracking" sound of the tracks crushing the soil, and the tank guns fired "boom-boom". In the ear, it was so kind, "It's our tanks coming up!" The Soviet soldiers cheered and excited, these invulnerable steel monsters came, and the light and heavy machine guns of the Chinese army, what prestige is there?

The cheers hadn't dissipated yet, and the sky above his head suddenly ignited like a fire, so bright that he could see his companion's astonished face, and then, there was an endless series of strange screams, which made people's hearts tug Tight, one after another, the flames lined up and came head-on. Experienced Soviet veterans, dare to swear in the name of Comrade Stalin, that is definitely not any kind of artillery. God knows, what kind of weapon is that from the Independent Division?

When the flames fell, it was like a furnace of boiling molten iron, pouring down head-on, covering the Soviet tank column, creating a sea of ​​flames, and the Soviet tanks burned into balls of fire in the sea of ​​flames, "Boom!" With a bang, the explosives inside the tank exploded, blowing the tank to pieces. The flames wrapped in black smoke and shot straight into the sky. The Soviet infantry accompanying the tank's attack turned into a pile of flying ash in the sea of ​​flames!

The Soviet soldiers looked at all this dumbfounded. More than 200 tanks were over in the blink of an eye?

However, the Soviet soldiers had no time to be surprised. Groups of mortars, like black old ravens, smashed down on their heads. It was the power of thousands of mortar salvos fired by the frontline troops in the east, and clusters of flames flashed. Covering the open prairie, pieces whistling, irregular pieces of metal, spinning, wantonly cutting the bodies of Soviet soldiers, a shallow temporary trench, how can it withstand the dense mortar.

There are no dead corners at all, and there are mortars whistling everywhere. In the area more than 3000 meters away from the forward position, they formed a wall of death composed of metal sheets. The bodies of Soviet soldiers, in the sound of explosions, , was fragmented, and was thrown into the air again.

The scene of mortar shelling is far less shocking and spectacular than the scene of howitzer and rocket launcher shelling, but it is superior in density. The actual killing effect is no worse than that of large-caliber howitzer and dense rocket launcher.

Large-caliber howitzers shelled the depths of the Soviet army, rockets fired at Soviet tanks and group targets, and mortars bombarded Soviet infantry close to the position. Artillery of various types, calibers, and ranges were organically arranged together, like A smart boxer is average, and he punched the Soviet army with a beautiful combo!Fist to the flesh, remember to fly blood!

The independent division units that have been fighting all year round have reached a superb level in the use of artillery. In the Dingbian Military Academy, there are special studies on how to cooperate with artillery of different types, calibers, explosive power, and ranges to achieve the best artillery fire. The strike effect research room has formed a complete set of artillery firepower strike system, which has been put into practice in various field regiments.

This is related to Tang Qiuli, the highest military and political officer of the Independent Division. He feels that the Chinese army has always been at a disadvantage in firepower when fighting foreign troops in history. He is determined to change all this, attaches great importance to the heavy weapons and equipment of the troops, and is willing to invest a lot of manpower The decision of material resources and financial resources are inseparable.

"Good fight!" Seeing more than 200 Soviet tanks, they turned into piles of scrap iron in ten minutes. While marveling at the power of the rocket launchers, Liu Tiehan shouted, excitedly beating everyone in the headquarters. A wooden pillar shook the soil on the ceiling and fell down with a splash, splashing himself all over his head and face. [

Shaking his head, shaking off the dirt on his head, he probably felt that he was a little out of control, Liu Tiehan suppressed his smile, and ordered: "Guangjin, order the rocket launchers to cover the depths of the Soviet army's position, artillery brigade, continue to blockade Urez On the west bank of the river bridge, the Second Artillery Brigade, fight back, do not kill more than half of the Soviet army, and the infantry is not allowed to attack without my order. We have artillery, rocket launchers, and mortars. It’s still reasonable what the teacher said, you don’t need guns if you have guns!”

"Comrade Commander, the avant-garde division called. The attacking tank brigade was covered by an independent division with unknown firepower, and the whole army was wiped out! There were more than 200 tanks, none of which was withdrawn! The avant-garde division was bombarded by mortars , heavy casualties," a staff officer, lying next to Commander Aslanov's ear, shouted.

"What?" Commander Aslanov's expression was dull, and the cold sweat on his face was involuntarily breaking out. He was wondering what happened to the sea of ​​flames in front of him. It turned out that it was to bury himself. The cemetery of the tank brigade,

"Unknown firepower? God! How many cards are there for the cunning Chinese?" He lamented in his heart. Tanks were his only assault force. Losing this fist, how could they break through the ambush circle of the Independent Division troops? ?

Mortar?The Chinese even played a role in this kind of weapon that had been eliminated long ago in the Soviet Red Army. At this time and here, it is undoubtedly the most effective and the most effective when it is used to fight infantry who are exposed to the wild and have no protection from fortifications and trenches. Vicious.

The commander of the independent division on the opposite side is a cunning and insidious opponent. His control of the rhythm of the battlefield and the use of weapons and equipment have reached a terrifying level. A shudder struck Commander Aslanov's heart. In front of his eyes, the scene of his own soldiers flying blood and flesh in the smoke of gun explosions raining down like raindrops.
