The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

ps: The update is resumed, there is no other than daily [-]D, come on!

As far as the understanding of the horror of cannons is concerned, there are not many people in the world who surpass Maozi. They are used to blowing up their opponents with all kinds of amazingly powerful shells. But today, they really saw what it means to be insane !

18 152mm plus howitzers do not seem to be many, so it must be taken into account that there are only a few people in Maozi's vanguard, and the total offensive front is only a little big. Not to mention, the artillery shell technology used by Zhu's army is definitely not the same as that of other contemporary countries. Comparable, it is more than twice as high in terms of lethal power alone, and what is even more exaggerated is the abnormal accuracy of almost "acupuncture" at a distance of [-] kilometers-when can a large-caliber gun blast and throw a grenade at close range Generally accurate?

Even if it is a collateral force that is at least two generations behind the direct line of troops, the artillery used is not bad after all, and the advanced radar fire control and forward detection and shooting equipment complement each other, and the final result is a group of three or five Every time the artillery shells fall, dozens of Maozi's lives are taken away!

"Boom!"

Clusters of shells dragged their soul-stirring screams, and meteors fell from the sky at supersonic speed like chasing the moon. Wherever they passed, dense black clouds and black snow were torn open wide and short passages in the air, and the hurricane hurricane A billowing tornado formed in the rear, piercing deeply into the black snow with a thickness of more than one meter on the ground, forcefully blasting away the tundra that was as solid as concrete, and then exploded crazily!

The soil clods containing sand and gravel are blasted at high speed, like thousands of bullets shooting wantonly, and the high temperature of thousands of degrees generated in an instant evaporates countless tons of frozen snow, but also evaporates a large amount of high-content sulfur in it. The compound triggers an inexplicable chemical reaction, and further forms a high-temperature corrosive airflow of at least a thousand degrees, which expands a thousand times, forming huge attack clusters with a diameter of hundreds of meters.Pushing the cold air around, making a heart-pounding muffled sound, sweeping around like an overwhelming mountain!

The Soviet army, who was trapped in the snow and marching hard, never expected to encounter such a terrible thing. The soldiers who were directly hit by the shells and were blown to pieces or evaporated were turned into fly ash before they could scream; and a little farther away, The person who was licked by the high-temperature steam a few times.But suddenly it seemed as if he had jumped from an ice cave into a steelmaking furnace, and a terrible gas with a suffocating smell suddenly penetrated the thick cotton coat to the skin, and then corroded it unceremoniously!

So, just after shouting "heavy artillery attack", Mao Zi, who was frightened and frightened, immediately let out a scream of ghosts and wolves, and was overturned by the power of the air wave. Tearing off his clothes, the movement was unbelievable for a human being, and it was even more miserable.It even covered the howling of the wind!

From the very beginning, the steady and precise bombardment seemed to have no intention of stopping. After just ten minutes, Maozi's forward troops were washed away. Pieces of burning fires evaporated the black snow into large clouds of smoke, sticking to the The ground spread out, depicting the passing valley like a demon realm.

The dizzy Maozi stimulated by the high alcohol finally regained consciousness, and the soldiers in front uttered terrified cries to stop advancing.Turning around to dodge, the supervising team two kilometers away pulled the trigger unceremoniously.Shoot dense bullets at your own people.

The officer in charge stared expressionlessly at the flash of light at the moment of the explosion, and even stared coldly through the binoculars at the fragments of limbs and broken arms that were blown away. There was no trace of pity and cruising on his cheeks, and he waved his hand decisively. He ordered the machine guns to fire and yelled through the loudspeaker: "All charge forward! No one is allowed to escape, charge forward. Kill the enemy, and you will receive the highest merit and personally rewarded by Comrade Stalin!"

Cold, heartless, brutal, rude.It is the style of Maozi's army in this era or all the time. Whether it is for the enemy or for its own people, they do not have any sympathy or mercy. It is like the cold wind in Siberia, which is so cold to the bone!

It is no use praying, crying, cursing, hiding.Anyone who turns around and tries to escape, whether it is a soldier or an officer, will be shot!

The forward was blocked, but the troops behind continued to rush forward. Tens of thousands of people and machines rushed the black snow-covered ground out of several roads. People are staggering, and the wheels with snow chains can run on them at several times the speed.

When it was dark, Galilovich, the commander of the 17th Army, was steaming all over his body, and drove to the front of Selenkinsk in a tank. He leaned out from above and looked from afar. The troops were congested at the advance point, and couldn't move much for a long time. They couldn't help frowning, and asked, "What's going on? I remember that the battle started for almost a day. Why are you still in place?"

Deputy Major General Ko Nuosin, who was in charge of leading the troops to launch the attack, replied breathlessly: "We were blocked by Chinese artillery fire and tanks! Comrade Commander, their firepower was unexpectedly dense and precise, and the advancing route was blocked. The corpses of casualties are piled up!"

Galilovich ignored his embarrassment and waved his hand fiercely: "Don't emphasize the difficulties! In this land, there is no difficulty that can stop the great Soviet Red Army from advancing! Comrade Konoshin, you should We are very clear about the importance of gaining the initiative in war, and our mission does not allow any failure! If you cannot complete it, I will shoot you and replace it with a capable person!"

Major General Ko Nuosin's face turned pale, and then an anger ignited by alcohol rushed to his forehead, he gritted his molars and saluted fiercely: "Yes! I will definitely complete the task, even if I die, the body must be facing Fell in front!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran away with big strides.

Galilovich seemed to dismiss a little trivial matter, and it was not like a sentence at all decided that tens of thousands of soldiers and a major general might be killed because of this. He waved his hand lightly, and then asked the accompanying staff : "When can our artillery and heavy tank units come up?"

"At least until tomorrow! Comrade Commander, you know that no one can go faster in such bad weather!"

Galilovich nodded with a sullen face: "I'll give them ten hours! Before five o'clock in the morning, I want to see at least fifty cannons and fifty tanks drive to the front line! Our soldiers cannot survive without artillery fire Charge the enemy under cover. That is very irresponsible."

"Yes! Comrade Commander's decision is very wise!"

The staff officers looked at him with reverence and admiration, as if paying homage to a world-class great man.

With such a commander, one can imagine what the next battle will be like.

Major General Ko Nuosin stumbled on a geep off-road vehicle imported from China to the headquarters of the 17th Army's forward division, took over the command in person, and issued a desperate order to everyone: "Comrades! Don't forget your own Mission! The great Soviet needs Mongolia as a base to move forward. This land is where we will always guard. Take it back at all costs and put the battle flag on the top of the tent in Ulaanbaatar! No one can Stop the advance of the 17th Army! For honor, for Stalin, attack!"

In the front, once again killing a group of dozens of soldiers who fled timidly, a Mongolian regiment commander shouted with a loudspeaker in the same tone: "Comrades! Don't forget that we are the descendants of Genghis Khan. This land is promised to us by the Longevity God." The sacred homeland of our country, we will never allow the shameless Chinese to occupy her! Like the fearless Mongolian cavalry, bravely charge up and kill them! Charge!"

"Ulla! Ulla! Ulla!"

Crazy shouts resounded through the mountains and fields again. In the ice and snow, steaming pancake-faced soldiers rushed out of the snow pit with cold rifles in their arms, followed the tanks and stepped on the corpses of their own people.Charge forward!

The deafening shouts were especially loud and clear in the gradually thinning sound of shell explosions.A surge of power almost brought the black snow to a halt, but Master Dong Qiwu, who heard all this, showed disdain and said with a sneer, "Come if you are not afraid of death! I don't have much else here, cannon Enough!"

After asking around, I found that there were 12 artillery pieces belonging to the tank regiment.The barrels of the 152-plus howitzers that arrived earlier were overheated, but the other two battalions of the artillery regiment were ready, so he ordered: "Fire! Shoot me all the shells! Don't kill me!" The last bastard, no one can rest!"

The bursting artillery fire roared again!

A battalion of 12 203mm heavy howitzers finally made an unprecedented roar after a long preparation!That's a full circle bigger.The terrible warhead with a killing radius of more than 70 meters suddenly burst into dazzling sparks in the dark sky, and the raging shrapnel cut and shredded a group of Maozi troops who had swarmed up on the spot with a more violent attitude!

The next moment, another battalion of 122mm rocket launchers followed suit, and all 32-barreled artillery vehicles burst out high-spirited screams one after another, forming a vertical killing surface covering several square kilometers, falling from 25 kilometers away, all air burst killing The warheads exploded one after another, and in just one minute, in the two-kilometer-wide advancing valley where the target was heading, hundreds of light clusters shone one after another from close by, and the dense roar could not hear the drumbeats rolling forward !

This is really a world-shattering explosion!

The initial air explosion tore apart the airspace with a diameter of hundreds of meters, followed by countless explosions that pushed forward like firecrackers, and the evaporated air was impacted and heated one after another. The dark scene is lit up, and a heated mist is formed. The long dragon twists and twitches and moves forward quickly. After 1 minute, it "rushes" for a full two kilometers, like a black dragon circling in the low sky, shining all over its body, crushing to the ground !

A regiment of Mongolian soldiers shouting "Ula" was riding a low horse that was shivering with cold. They had just stepped on the flesh and blood of their comrades in front and rushed to the pass with their lives on the road, when they were hit by a sudden rocket. Hit me head-on!

The intensive killing of hundreds of rockets almost in one body formed the terrifying destructive power of carpet bombing. Not to mention the snowfall within several square kilometers was abruptly cleared, and the high temperature released even melted and evaporated the snow. , the people wrapped in it didn't even have a blind spot to avoid. Hundreds of thousands of steel balls and prefabricated fragments attacked and killed them from various tricky angles at a terrifying speed, killing their flesh and blood in an instant. His body was riddled with holes!

When the fireworks slowly subsided, the vast land was completely silent except for sporadic groans!

A regiment was blown up and almost wiped out!

Major General Konuosin heard the real thing from behind, the intermittent noisy shouting on the phone.Let him simulate the tragedy of the front battlefield in his mind, especially the earth-shattering intensive explosion afterwards, which made him immediately think of the secret rocket weapon "Katyusha" that was equipped not long ago!

Not long ago, the Бm-8-13 with 16 rails at the "Comintern" factory in Voronezh was successfully trial-produced. This unprecedentedly powerful weapon that can launch 16 132mm rockets at one time has been released.Immediately aroused unanimous admiration, and even Comrade Stalin appeared in person after hearing about it, went to watch the spectacular scene of the salvo drill, and personally ordered to intensify efforts to develop and manufacture this good enough to be called a "revolutionary weapon". guy!

Konuosin was fortunate enough to participate in the live ammunition drill at that time, and he was deeply impressed by the spectacular scene of the overwhelming explosion caused by that salvo, and he also had a deep memory of the roar of the rocket engine piercing through the air. Unexpectedly, it was right in front of him now.But it was hit by similar weapons!

Meticulous tactical analysts quickly came up with statistical data. At least 360 or more rockets exploded, which means that 20 rocket artillery vehicles above the size of Бm-13-16 attacked at the same time. Russia, there are no more than 10 rocket launchers now!And the front is just the vanguard of the opponent rushing forward to grab the territory.So how many such things should there be in the entire Chinese Corps? !

Coupled with the slow-paced, but earth-shattering bombardment of large-caliber heavy artillery every time.Konuosin couldn't imagine how terrible the troops in front had suffered!

However, he has no other choice!To take a step back is to be shot, and to move forward, although you are likely to be killed, is better than carrying a disgraceful reputation.The wives, children, and offspring who have caused me to be cleansed!

Gritting his teeth, Ko Nuosin deliberately ignored the number of casualties in the report, and ordered harshly: "Don't tell me how many people died, I only want Chaktu! Even if there is only one soldier left, climb up for me!" In the past! Continue to attack! As long as no one is dead, you must persist until dawn!"

At dawn, there will be reinforcements from heavy artillery units. As long as the enemy in front is restrained and not stopped, no matter how many casualties are paid, it is better than being rested for a night to wait for work!

"Comrade Deputy Commander..." The chief of staff opened his mouth, and then realized that he should not try to dissuade him, so he kept his voice tactful and passed it on as usual.

In front, the troops of a division took the regiment as the unit, and the three-way coordinated attack was blocked between the mountains by a tank regiment and a semi-artillery regiment. After a day of fierce fighting, the casualties exceeded [-]!For the next whole night, neither of the two sides stopped, and the rumbling sound of the explosion lasted the whole night!

At four o'clock in the morning, after the Soviet army shot three regiment leaders in a row, a heavy artillery unit finally marched to the front exhausted. The 18 150mm cannons of the first battalion even rushed ahead of the 105mm cannons of the infantry. Set up a formation not far from the opponent's shell landing point, and prepare in a hurry!

After this night of tossing, the number of casualties in the front accumulated to seven or eight thousand, and the 75mm field guns, 105mm howitzers and 150mm howitzers equipped by the artillery regiments of the mobilized divisional artillery regiments also accumulated an objective number, lined up in front of the position The cannons quickly surpassed a hundred!

Even as stubborn as Commander Galinovic, the blue veins on his forehead were stimulated by the reported numbers, but at this time, he was not so nervous, and firmly rejected the request of the front artillery to fire, and ordered the rest The artillerymen in the army must speed up and move forward, and must arrive at the predetermined location at 5 o'clock. When they are ready, they will fire together!

This is an approach that can be called crazy!

The entire 17th Army, just directly under the artillery unit, has two 105mm and two 150mm cannon battalions, with a total of 72 guns!Each of the infantry divisions it belongs to also has an artillery regiment composed of 72 guns of various calibers!Calculated from this, even if not all are present, according to his request, at least more than 300 cannons will be accumulated!

Crazy bastard!Terrible artilleryism!

Face to face with the 101st Division, after a day and a night of tossing, even Dong Qiwu, who was well-prepared, was exhausted. Seeing that the sky is getting brighter, the troops behind have arrived to fill the gap, enough to replace them and take turns to rest. The other forces that came had no problem blocking the attack, and the most difficult time was over.

But the more it is at such a juncture, the more we cannot take it lightly!Having gone through the senior officer training course, he knows that the Maozi in front of him is the kind of rare and powerful opponent who is full of tenacity, does not care about human life, has powerful weapons and equipment, and has an amazing total number. Even more difficult to deal with!

Biting a chili in his mouth, he forcefully stimulated himself to sweat, and repeatedly reminded his subordinates: "Cheer up for me! The old man hasn't fired a cannon all night, maybe there is something bad in his heart ! Don’t give them a sneak attack!”

All the regiments below were jubilant: "Just wait and see, Master! Even if we toss for three days and three nights, we won't get tired. No matter how many people come, just make sure they never come back!"

Dong Qiwu understood after thinking about it. His own troops were eager to make contributions, and there was absolutely no possibility of a small victory. Time to drop the chain!

Relieved, he turned to inspect all the artillery units that came up one by one. Except for the artillery battalion of the tank regiment that followed up, the artillery regiment directly under the division and the self-propelled artillery of each regiment were all in place, and the heavy artillery battalion and rocket artillery battalion were also in place. After a rest, the heavy artillery unit directly under the 35th Army, even the train artillery unit, and the ultra-long-range attack unit are also ready. There are more than two hundred guns of various calibers lined up in front of the entire Kyakta, not counting rockets. The is also 105mm!

This terrifying power surpassed the sum of all the large-caliber guns in China back then. Dong Qiwu calmed down and thought to himself: "Old men! Come and attack, and see the rich meal I prepared for you. Make sure you can eat enough once!"

Coincidentally, under the cover of the overwhelming black snow and strong wind, the troops of both sides displayed heavy artillery, ready to explode! (To be continued..)
