The Red War God of Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 398 Hailan Pao, the Beginning of Revenge 4

As soon as the howitzers of the Wehrmacht fired, the Soviet artillery positions became dumb.

A howitzer regiment of the Wehrmacht has 108 105 howitzers, which is slightly smaller than the marine regiment, but there are also about 4500 people.Whether it is the number of artillery or the number of personnel, they are equivalent to two regiments of the foreign army, and their firepower and combat power are quite strong!

The hidden artillery group of the Soviet army did not counterattack the artillery positions of the Wehrmacht before. The reason is very complicated.

One is that the artillery fire of the Chinese army is too fierce, and there are too many artillery pieces that can hit Heilongjiang. The preliminary estimate is that there are more than 3000 artillery pieces; while the Soviet army also has nearly 100 artillery pieces, it is estimated that there are less than 400 artillery pieces with a caliber of more than [-] mm. .

The second is that the positions of the Chinese artillery are quite scattered. If the Soviet army counterattacks, not only will they not be able to obtain the fruit of destroying the enemy's artillery positions, but they will be burned by fire.

The third is that as soon as the Chinese artillery fired, they disabled the two independently organized artillery regiments, which greatly frightened the Soviet army.Because these two artillery regiments were specially used by the independent artillery division to strengthen the artillery firepower of Hailanpao, they were destroyed as soon as the artillery was fired, which made the Soviet commander, General Busikaveliuski, stunned for a while.

However, don't think that the Soviet Army has only two artillery regiments.In fact, there are more Soviet artillery regiments on the other side of Heilongjiang than the artillery regiments of the Chinese National Defense Army, which has a lot to do with the unique formation of the Soviet army.In the division-level organization of the Soviet Army, a division is composed of three infantry regiments and two artillery regiments; and the artillery regiment has all kinds of howitzers, mountain artillery, and heavy mortars, which is completely mixed.Unlike the Chinese National Defense Army, the artillery of the artillery unit is very simple.

The preparation of the big miscellaneous is actually very inconvenient to command, and the convenience of command limits the role of artillery.Just imagine, even a 120mm heavy mortar, how can its range be compared with that of a 75mm mountain gun?

This kind of miscellaneous organization was a distinctive feature of the Soviet army before and during World War II, and it was also a way for the Soviet Russian Party to strengthen its control over the army.Because of this, the Soviet army in World War II can only be regarded as "huge" rather than powerful!

Soviet Russia was able to win World War II. According to later studies, one is because the climate helped Soviet Russia; the other is that Soviet Russia’s huge reserve soldiers traded numbers and lives for strategic and tactical goals. In 1941, they participated in the Soviet Red Army. At the end of the war, 90.00% of the soldiers had been sacrificed; the third was that Soviet Russia exchanged space for time and diluted the strength of the Germans with space. , The fourth is the support from the United Kingdom and the United States. The support of the United Kingdom and the United States is not only material support, but the United Kingdom and the United States have opened up a second battlefield. In July 1943, the Allied forces landed in Sicily, Italy, and destroyed Italy within two months. , broke Hitler's arm.

Therefore, it is quite unreliable to say how strong the individual soldiers of the Soviet Russian army are, or how strong the troops of the same level are.

Knocked out an artillery position of the Soviet army, which is estimated to be the artillery force of a division, while the Soviet army deployed 4 infantry divisions on the front line of Hailanpao.

"Order: The troops crossing the river should be united in squads. The speed must be fast, and the camp must be dispersed; after crossing the river, they must quickly return to the formation, and use the company as a unit to attack in depth!" On the south bank of the Heilongjiang River, the commander of the 051 Division Shi Jue (Lieutenant General) ordered urgently.The burst of artillery fire by the Soviet army just now caused a great loss to a regiment that was crossing the river.This loss made Shi feel a little out of breath.

……

On the north bank of Heilongjiang, more and more soldiers of the National Defense Forces who had crossed the river gathered. Under the command of a major (battalion commander), several company-sized commandos were quickly formed to attack the depth and left and right of the position, with a width of 300 meters. Not enough to guarantee the safety of troops crossing the river.

Seeing Chinese soldiers rushing towards their fortifications, the Soviet army also fired guns and artillery, fighting back vigorously.And like Major Sergeylov, he organized troops to rush out of the fortifications desperately, trying to drive the Chinese army back with a two-pronged approach.

Therefore, the battlefield was obviously chaotic, that is, there were battles between Chinese troops relying on the field terrain and Soviet fortifications, and there were field contests between Chinese troops and Soviet troops who rushed out of various hidden fortifications.

The Soviet army, which used fortifications to fight back, obviously has an advantage, because the artillery in the fortifications is very harmful to the Wehrmacht soldiers, and the Wehrmacht's grenade must be advanced within a distance of 600 meters if it is to be successful; but in the field battle, it is obvious. It is the Chinese army that dominates. This is not just a matter of the Chinese army's strong automatic firepower, but is closely related to the individual quality and training of Chinese soldiers.

Wu Aihua of the later generations was born as a special soldier, and his kung fu is superb. Therefore, the training of ordinary soldiers of the National Defense Forces has more or less the characteristics of special forces training. This characteristic is manifested on the battlefield. A unit, two soldiers and three soldiers can also be an independent combat unit, a squad, or a platoon is an independent combat unit. This flexible and independent combat awareness was fully demonstrated in the Battle of Pingjin in 1937. embodiment.

The Red Army of the Soviet Union obviously does not yet possess such "modern" characteristics. They must be commanded by a chief officer or political commissar in battle, otherwise, they will not be able to fight, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.The reason why the German Army was a strong army in World War II is because the soldiers of the German Army had this independent combat awareness. In the original history, Germany was the first to form special forces, which was closely related to the Germans' independent combat awareness.

Although the Soviet Russian army relies on fortifications and has an overall advantage, the soldiers of the Wehrmacht are not afraid. They cleverly use the terrain, form groups of three, and use squads as a large group to cover each other. Under the cover of guns, they continued to advance in the direction of the Soviet Russian fortifications.

As the number of Chinese soldiers disembarked increased, the Soviet forward positions gradually felt the pressure.The safe landing zone controlled by the Chinese army has gradually changed from 300 meters wide to 400 meters, 500 meters, and 600 meters. Almost every ten minutes, it will widen by about [-] meters.

This road ahead is filled with all kinds of dilapidated fortifications of the Soviet army, filled with the dead bodies of the Soviet army, and of course, also sprinkled with the blood of Chinese soldiers!

"Order: Chariot Regiment T-12 Chariot Battalion, quickly cross the river in four columns!" On the south bank of the Heilongjiang River, Shi Jue, commander of the 051 Division, saw that the soldiers had widened the safe landing point to nearly 1000 meters, and immediately issued a new message. The command!

"Master, the group army ordered that our engineering battalion immediately erect a pontoon bridge. The 053 Division and 054 Division Engineering Battalions are rushing to the place where we cross the river. There are still 5 kilometers away." Shi Jue has just issued an order for a tank assault, and the 051 Division Chief of Staff Han Wenyu put down the phone and said suddenly.

"Oh... Please ask the teacher for instructions. I am going to let the T-12 cross the river. Is it possible?" Shi Jue thought for a while and said.Since the pontoon bridge was going to be erected immediately, it didn't matter if the chariot didn't cross the river for the time being.

"Yes, Commander." Chief of Staff Han Wenyu picked up the phone again and communicated with the group army. After a while, Han Wenyu said to Shi Jue: "Mr. The artillery regiment did not fire, and they do not know where they are hiding. Therefore, it is up to the division commander to decide whether to let the T6 cross the river."

"I'm thinking about the other side of the river. Our direct-fire artillery is very weak. The T-12 tank crossing the river can speed up the offensive against the Soviet army's fortifications, and secondly, it can suppress the Soviet army's tanks."

"Teacher, I think the direct-fire artillery is weak, so we can let the grenade squads of each combat unit cross the river first; using tanks now is too risky!" Han Wenyu said after thinking for a while.

"Okay, you order the regiments to let the grenade troops cross the river first." Shi Jue thought for a while, it's better not to take risks.Besides, this war has only just started, even now it is less than 10 days in the morning, and it has not been two hours since the start of the war.

Shi Jue's decision was correct. Just as the other two engineering battalions were driving trucks to bring in simple pontoon bridges and other equipment, and thousands of people began to lay pontoon bridges directly on the river, another hidden artillery group of the Russian army suddenly shot at the The engineering battalion under construction opened fire, and with the booming explosion, nearly a thousand soldiers of the engineering battalion on the river, their equipment, and a pontoon bridge that had just been erected were severely damaged.

"Fuck, artillery, artillery!" Seeing that his engineering battalion had been severely damaged, Shi Jue immediately yelled, and at the same time was terrified.If the T12 tank is on the river, the loss will be even greater.

In fact, in the two hours since the start of the battle, not only Guan Linzheng of the 5th Army, but Gu Zhutong, deputy chief of staff, Zhuang Xizhen, commander of the Northeast Front Army, and others have been closely watching the progress of Hailanpao.

Strictly speaking, in the entire offensive, so far, the troops from all walks of life are still tentative attacks.The National Defense Forces did not dispatch the air force, let alone the armed helicopter attack group, and what is more strange is that the Soviet Union did not dispatch the air force either.

However, this time the Soviet Russian artillery learned to be smart. The artillery they fired on the three pontoon bridges was very scattered. There were 12 small artillery groups in total. After the ground shelling passed, the threat to the Soviet artillery was not great, because the Soviet shells continued to fall on the river.

"Commander, Guan Linzheng's operation to cross the river has been setback, can the air force be allowed to attack?" In the front army headquarters, Chief of Staff Wan Yaohuang suggested.

"What exactly is going on?" Zhuang Xi really didn't want to use the plane to join the battle if it was absolutely necessary.

"At present, their infantry have crossed the river with about two battalions of troops, but the tanks and artillery units cannot cross the river, because the Soviet artillery on the other side is very cunning, Guan Linzheng's artillery group could not destroy the opponent for a while, and at this time they fell into a stalemate Status. I am worried that Soviet Russia will suddenly dispatch a large number of ground troops and a counter-charge will put the two battalions across the river in danger!" Wan Yaohuang said while pointing at the map.

"Where are their other two crossing points?" Zhuang Xizhen asked.

"The other two river-crossing points are still on standby. Before the Soviet mobile troops are mobilized, it is impossible for the other two river-crossing points to make great achievements." Wan Yaohuang said.
