Because the terrain is flat and there is no shelter on the plains, strong winds can blow unscrupulously. The howling wind can cover up many sounds, so the faint sounds coming from the wind are also ignored by many people.
Zhang Danian's words did not attract the attention of his comrades, but after the old squad leader also said the same thing, everyone had to pay attention. There is a popular proverb in the army: Those who ignore the advice of veterans are equal to ignoring their own lives. Veterans'
Experience is summed up with countless blood and lives, and their words often represent the true meaning of survival on the battlefield. If you want to live well, it is best to pay attention to their opinions. This is why in the Chinese National Defense Force
The reason why sergeants and sergeants in every army are regarded as the backbone.
"Okay, everyone, stop talking about this kind of thing. We would rather believe it than not. Big Nian, you go report to the company commander immediately. Big man, you and Shuanzi go to the gun hole and drag out the anti-tank gun.
, if there is no enemy situation, we will just conduct an early fuck drill."
Here, the words of the old squad leader are authoritative. After hearing the order, everyone took action separately. Soon, the company commander also received the report and came to the position. At this time, the wind was still strong and the sky was still gray.
"Old Wei, what happened?" the company commander came to the side of the old squad leader and asked with a frown.
The old squad leader hurriedly reported: "Sir, a soldier in our squad heard the sound of a tank, so he woke me up. Just now I also faintly heard the sound of a tank from the wind, so I asked someone to call you."
"The sound of tanks." The company commander looked at the front in confusion, but it was still pitch black and he couldn't see anything clearly. At the same time, the wind was too loud, covering up many sounds. He wanted to hear the sound from the wind.
It's easier than ever to hear the sound of a tank.
The company commander was a young man of about 23 or 24 years old who had just graduated from Chahar Army Academy. He thought for a while and ordered: "Artillery squadron, fire three illumination bombs three thousand meters ahead.
.”
"Dong dong dong" The company commander's order was quickly implemented. Three illumination bombs rose into the sky. As the illumination bombs emitted a dazzling light, the faces of everyone on the position, including the company commander, all changed. Although the illumination bombs emitted
The light only lasted for less than ten seconds, but the groups of black shadows rushing towards the position in the distance clearly told everyone one thing, that is, the enemy was coming, and they were armored troops in large numbers.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The shrill enemy attack alarm sounded on the position, and the entire position instantly started to boil like boiling oil sprinkled with a handful of salt. Countless soldiers emerged from their respective artillery holes and traffic trenches, and flares were fired one after another.
Light up in front of the position, illuminating a five-kilometer range in front of the position.
Seeing flares lighting up one after another in front of the position, the Soviet commander on the opposite side also knew that his own actions had been exposed, so he changed his sneak attack into a strong attack. The tank group in the front immediately accelerated and rushed towards the Wehrmacht position.
The Soviet army is leading the battle with the 17th Tank Division of the Soviet army. This division is equipped with the latest Soviet T3476 tank. This is a main weapon with a 76.2 mm F34 main gun and two 7.62dpdt machine guns as secondary weapons.
The tank that travels at a speed of 55 kilometers per hour is also the most famous tank in World War II in another time and space. Its biggest feature is that it is simple to produce and the price is the best.
"The second and third regiments speed up and rush forward. The first regiment keeps a distance and is ready for reinforcements." Major General Mazilov, commander of the 17th Soviet Tank Division, stood on the control tower of a T34 and followed closely in the center of the army. His
Holding a communicator in his hand, there were some officers on the nearby Soviet tank command tower waving small flags in their hands to give orders to nearby tanks.
At this time, the Soviet armored forces did not initially equip all tanks with valuable radios. Although the Soviet armored commanders also realized the importance of equipping radios in tanks, the rush of time and the war
The sudden surname, their radio station is only equipped to the company level, and many times orders have to be conveyed by traditional semaphores.
As densely packed Soviet tanks continued to appear in front of the positions, the roar of the engines could be clearly heard in the ears of the Wehrmacht soldiers even from such a distance. Those steel monsters roared and quickly charged towards the Wehrmacht positions.
The ejected exhaust gas filled the sky above the entire formation like a blue mist suddenly appeared.
"Damn, there are at least more than three hundred tanks ahead." Zeng Li'an was a little surprised by the number of tanks he saw through the telescope.
As the first three division-level units that followed Su Tong, the 103rd Infantry Division is not as famous as the 101st Armored Division and the 102nd Mechanical Infantry Division, and domestic media rarely report on them on weekdays.
As the senior officers of the 101st and 102nd Divisions, Sun Li and Hu Lian have both become generals and serve as commanders of an army group respectively. However, the commander of the 103rd Division is still the unknown Zeng Li'an. Perhaps.
Some people may underestimate Zeng Li'an and his 103rd Division because of this, but those who know the inside story will never think so. In fact, this is a combat force with very strong combat effectiveness. Su Tong's response to Zeng Li'an and his 103rd Division
The attention has never stopped, and this unit also enjoys priority for new equipment.
Zeng Li'an put down his telescope and coldly "ordered the artillery to start firing interception barrages."
"Boom boom boom"
At this time, the Soviet artillery also started covering fire. It was still dark, and the observation aircraft of the Chinese National Defense Force had not been able to take off. This was a rare opportunity. If the Chinese aircraft arrived at dawn, the Soviet artillery would not have a chance.
Revealed.
There was a loud "boom", and a huge crater appeared in front of the Wehrmacht position. A machine gun that was originally there, together with two shooters and ammunition handlers, instantly turned into a mass of blood mist. That was the Soviet army.
A masterpiece of 152mm howitzer.
"Artillery fire counterattack, counterattack quickly"
"Fire the gun, fire the gun"
There were calls for artillery fire everywhere on the position. The T34 tank was very fast. At full speed, it quickly rushed to 500 meters in front of the National Defense Forces position. The F34 tank gun equipped on the tank also began to pour out tongues of fire.
.
More than 300 tanks quickly covered the frontal position of the 103rd Division. Many soldiers had never seen such a huge armored group go into battle at the same time. More than 300 tanks lined up in a neat formation and charged forward.
The front was fully five kilometers wide, which made all the national defense officers and soldiers who saw this scene speechless in surprise.
The soldiers of the Wehrmacht stood in the trenches and stared at the spectacular sight in front of them. The sight in front of them was so shocking to their souls that they almost forgot that they were in a battle, and those tanks were lined up neatly.
It was precisely to break through their positions and save their lives.
"The Soviets are really crazy. They dare to send an entire armored division to attack our positions. Don't they know that all these tanks will be exposed to our artillery fire and aircraft at dawn?" Zeng Li'an gritted his teeth and grabbed the
Got the phone call.
"Sir Yu, this is Zeng Li'an. The old guys have started. They started to attack us. Yes, these old guys are going to fight hard. They have invested more than 300 tanks. I estimate there are at least two infantrymen behind them.
The division is following, and I asked the heavy artillery division to intercept and fire. Yes, tanks are everywhere here. What, our two flanks were also attacked by Soviet infantry. Okay, I understand, we must intercept the enemy at the front of the position."
"Boom, boom, boom", artillery shells continued to fall in the attacking formation of the Soviet tanks, and huge balls of fire rose up. Occasionally, after a Soviet tank was hit, the tank that was hit would shoot towards a charging tank.
The person stopped in place as if he had been suddenly punched, and then puffs of dark brown smoke appeared. In some cases, after being hit by an armor-piercing projectile in the ammunition compartment, a group of shining fireworks would appear.
At this time, the position of the 103rd Division was also constantly bombarded by Soviet artillery fire. The soldiers squatted in the trenches and covered their ears with their hands to prevent their eardrums from being damaged by the shock waves and explosions of the artillery shells.
If you are not prepared, the violent blast and air pressure when the artillery shells explode on the position can tear the eardrums of soldiers, and the internal organs of soldiers who have no experience in artillery defense will also be destroyed. The shock wave generated by the explosion will carry countless
The steel fragments swept through the entire position like a storm, blowing away all objects that were not fixed to the ground, and embedded dozens of pieces of metal capable of killing people into the parapets of each bunker within the killing range.
The soldiers of the National Defense Force followed the usual instructions of the instructors, covering their ears with both hands, opening their mouths as wide as possible and then breathing in. This can effectively alleviate the damage caused to them by the explosion sound waves and air pressure.
"Enter the shooting position, everyone is ready." At this time, the voices of the officers rang out from the position.
"Crash!" The soldiers quickly entered their respective shooting positions. Boxes of grenades were also moved out of the anti-gun holes and delivered to the soldiers. The soldiers all placed the grenades within their reach.
While looking at the tank rushing toward him in front, he unscrewed the cap of the grenade beside him. No one wants to be killed by the enemy because he was too late to unscrew the cap when the enemy rushed in front of him. This way of death is too uncomfortable.
Already.
"Crack" Zhang Danian, the soldier who was the first to notice the enemy attack just now, was also holding the Type 56 rifle in his hand and lying in the bunker he had dug, ready to fire at any time under the orders of his superiors.
