Chapter 410 Water is impermanent, soldiers are impermanent 2

"General, in the battle of Blagoveshchensk, the Chinese army was very strong. It was not like today. They ran away when they saw us. I think, should I ask General Alexander Korsayev to send two more infantry Divisions come up, so that we can encircle the Chinese army?" Pevek was actually worried that his tank division would be wiped out, but he adopted a "curve" approach and asked for more infantry divisions to gain sympathy.

"General, the battle of Blagoveshchensk is indeed worthy of our deep thinking." Major General Shokurda, commander of the 144th Infantry Division, said, "According to the battle report, the Chinese army has a kind of high-density artillery, and we have no good ones. In addition, the tanks of the Chinese army are thicker than our T26, and there is no way to restrain them. Our T26 only has 20 vehicles. If the front army thinks that only a few of our divisions can annihilate a division of the Chinese army , I don’t look optimistic about this battle.”

"Comrades, the Soviet Union is in the most difficult period. At this time, it is not the time for us to bargain. It is not uncommon for you to know the strength and equipment of the front army. Our main purpose of this battle is to test the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army. Four of us There is only one division in the Chinese army, and our strength is definitely stronger than that of the Chinese army. Comrades, don’t you ignore this basic fact.” Aleksandrov patiently explained, “Okay, everyone Stop talking, launch a full-scale attack in 20 minutes!"

"Yes, General." Everyone saluted and went back to command the troops.

"Comrade Podkagernovich, what do you think of our prospects for this battle?" Watching several division commanders file out, Alexandrov turned to ask his chief of staff.

"General, we have no problem tactically. A battle or battle is always carried out under certain time, space and conditions. The Chinese army may not be able to change its tricks if it wants to. What I want to say is that we Under the premise of the same number of tanks and artillery, it is indeed weaker than China's combat effectiveness. Therefore, we can only win by numbers." Major General Podkagernovich said.

"Hehe, you slicker, I'm asking about the prospect of this battle." Aleksandrov said with a smile.

"The outcome should be between five and five." Podkagernovich thought for a while and said in a positive tone.

"I think so," said Alexandrov calmly.In fact, Aleksandrov did not agree with or optimistic about the tactical arrangement to go out of the city to annihilate the Chinese army.It would be great to use Boli's permanent serial fortifications to stop the enemy and wipe out the enemy, but the commander of the front army asked to go out of the city to wipe out the enemy.The defeat of Blagoveshchensk was already a heavy blow to morale; if the battle outside the city is defeated again, I wonder if the commander of the front army has any good ways to save the fate of the Far East.

"I heard that the Chinese army's offensive in Kazakhstan in Central Asia is very fierce, and it has penetrated nearly [-] kilometers into the Soviet territory; moreover, the Baikal Front Army in Mongolia is having a hard time." Podkagernovich added road.

"I hope Comrade Stalin can lead Soviet Russia to turn the tide!" Aleksandrov didn't want to talk any more.He had also heard of these news, which were inadvertently disclosed by the staff of the front army.When the battlefield commander cannot obtain higher-level intelligence, it means that the battle situation has deteriorated considerably.

30 kilometers east of Khabarovsk, in front of the nameless hill.

"Boom boom boom..." 300 artillery pieces of the Soviet army began to violently bombard the position of the 171st Division of the Wehrmacht.

"Pay attention to anti-cannon, pay attention to anti-cannon!" Before the shells fell, the platoon leaders of the National Defense Forces in the creek began to shout.

Following the roar of the platoon leaders, the soldiers quickly got into the newly dug anti-blasting hole.Fighting in the north in winter, the weather is very cold, and it is very difficult for soldiers to use engineers to build a hole against artillery. Therefore, the General Armament Department of the National Defense Army specially developed a very sharp and sharp digging tool to make holes in the ice. .

At the same time, the General Armament Department also developed a small manual pressure blowtorch with about 1000 grams of gasoline built in. When it is ignited, it can form a blazing flame with a diameter of 10mm and a length of 200mm, which is specially used to melt ice.Each platoon is equipped with one lamp, together with other tools, 12 double-person blastholes can be excavated every hour.

The top brass of the National Defense Forces have long learned Wu Aihua's basic philosophy, that caring for soldiers means caring for combat power, and caring for soldiers means victory.Coupled with some system designs of the National Defense Forces, for example, unless there is a special battle, the battle loss ratio exceeds 5:1, and the commander must go to the superior for endorsement.

Therefore, commanders at all levels of the Wehrmacht attach great importance to the protection of soldiers.

"Uh, squad leader. Why did you think so thoughtfully about this equipment department to develop this kind of blowtorch?" Zou Jixin, a soldier, said with emotion in a blast hole.

"Hold the backpack higher, and be careful of shrapnel." The squad leader is not so curious, and life is the most important thing at this time.

"Boom!" The squad leader's voice fell silent, a shell landed near the blast hole, and after the smoke passed, a piece of shrapnel actually stuck in Zou Jixin's backpack.

"Squad leader, thank you." Seeing the shrapnel deep in ### backpack, Zou Jixin turned pale with fright.

"Don't thank me. When the Russian infantry comes up later, beat him up like a dog!" The squad leader reached out and took the shrapnel off, glanced at it, and threw it in the corner of the artillery hole.

"Boom boom boom—" About 2 minutes slower than the artillery fire of the Soviet army, the artillery positions of the 171st Division began to fight back at the artillery positions of the Soviet army!After 5 minutes of shelling by both sides, the rocket artillery battalion accurately measured the Soviet artillery positions and began to join the artillery chorus!The bombardment of the Wehrmacht, which was originally at a disadvantage, suddenly became evenly matched with the Soviet army!However, the 105mm howitzer of the National Defense Forces did not move, because He Shaozhou was still waiting for the opportunity.

After half an hour of shelling by the Soviet army, 24 tanks and a battalion of infantry drove towards the 500st Division of the Wehrmacht on a width of about 171 meters.

In the telescope of the commander of the Wehrmacht, although the Soviet army was in a battle formation and marched more cautiously, in the eyes of the Wehrmacht, it looked like they were being beaten.Because the assault formation of the Soviet army is not as good as the Japanese in a sense.They just bowed their backs and followed the tank nonchalantly.

"This is a tentative attack by the Soviet army. The Xiaoxi defense force is ordered to use only one-third of the anti-tank force and infantry to fight back, and the rapid-fire artillery and mountain artillery should not be moved." He Shaozhou put down his binoculars and said to the chief of staff.

The Xiaoxi defense troops of the 171st Division who received the order are on standby!

On the battlefield, except for the motor mountain where the Soviet tanks rumbled, it was surprisingly quiet.

However, the Soviet army was about three kilometers behind this tentative force, and another attack group consisting of 72 tanks and about a regiment of Soviet infantry was already on standby.

1000 meters, 800 meters, 600 meters, 400 meters...

"Fight!" Commander Xiaoxi gave an order, and 36 Type 39 grenade guns fired their first grenade "boom boom boom"!

"Boom boom boom..." The Soviet tanks rushing forward were shot one after another. The light ones lay down and could no longer move forward, while the heavy ones exploded and caught fire. At a distance of 400 meters, for a huge target like a tank, the Type 39 grenade gun hardly needs to be aimed.

"Boom boom boom..." The Soviet tanks rushing to the front just lay down, and the Chinese soldiers' grenades started the second round of strikes!

"Ula, charge—" Although most of the tanks could no longer cover the infantry's charge, the Soviet infantry commander saw that the small village was only 400 meters away, and prepared to rush in with the courage of the Soviet soldiers.

"Da da da..." Facing the crowd that was not densely charged by the Soviet army, the Wehrmacht soldiers picked up the Type 39 assault rifle and resolutely fought back!

In fact, before the enemy's artillery is destroyed, this infantry charge is very stupid.If the formation is too dense, it will be attacked by the enemy's mortars and machine guns; if the formation is too scattered, it is not easy to form a suppressive force.

Of course, at this time, the Soviet army did not master the tactics of barrage and Xu Jin. The cooperation between infantry and tanks was not bad, but the Chinese anti-tank weapons were even better. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the Soviet army could not break through the defensive positions of the Chinese army. of.

Of course, if the Soviet army is not afraid of sacrifice, and the whole army presses up and blooms everywhere, it may cause considerable difficulties for the Chinese army. After all, there are so many Soviet soldiers.However, which country's commander in the world pressed the whole army at the beginning of the battle?

"Order the artillery to suppress the forward positions of the Chinese army, and order the main attacking force and the detour force to attack immediately!" The Soviet commander Alexandrov did not think that these tentative forces could be successful. Anti-tank weapons are very powerful and must be suppressed first.

The Soviet army did not only attack frontally, they also organized a flank attack force.

"Report to the division commander, the reconnaissance troops have found the heavy artillery positions of the Soviet army!" Just before the Soviet army was about to attack, He Shaozhou finally heard good news.The key to the victory of this battle lies in whoever finds the opponent's heavy artillery position first.

"Order the chariot regiment to immediately carry out a surprise attack on the Soviet heavy artillery positions. We must destroy the Soviet heavy artillery!" He Shaozhou said.

"Master, the Soviet Army's heavy artillery has built a circular fortification, and the tank troops will attack, and the losses may be huge!" Chief of Staff Luo Chengli said with some concern.

"Near the heavy artillery unit of the Soviet Army, how many scouts do we have?" He Shaozhou asked.

"Oh, teacher, I understand." Luo Chengli smiled sheepishly, and immediately went to issue an order.

"Brothers, let's go! Seven kilometers to the northeast, the Soviet Army's heavy artillery position!" The main tank unit of the 171st Division Tank Regiment has 48 T-24 medium tanks and 24 T-12 assault tanks, led by the regiment leader Zhang Guihua Down, rushed towards the target.As for the danger of going here, he didn't think about it at all.

"Brothers, the division commander ordered us to lurk here, wait for the tank regiment to arrive, and then assault the Soviet heavy artillery positions. Do you have the confidence to complete the task?" At about the same time, Zhong Yunpeng, the commander of the 171st Division's reconnaissance battalion, was also mobilizing on the battlefield.
