Chapter 1099 The fierce counterattack of the Chinese army
The 1099th Squadron launched a fierce counterattack against the air force on which it had placed high hopes. Faced with the sudden air reinforcements from the Squadron, it had almost no room to fight back and suffered complete losses.
The artillery group at the rear was also bombarded by a bomber formation of the Chinese Qatar Air Force. Only one out of ten remained, and it had completely lost its combat effectiveness...
The air force is gone, and so is the artillery... Lieutenant General Silenkov, the division commander Lao Maozi, directly pinned his last hope on the infantry and a heavy tank regiment behind him who had not had time to go to the battlefield. He hoped that he could use what was left in his hands.
Use your troops to try your best to save this defeat.
However, what Lieutenant General Silenkov did not expect was that such an idea had just arisen in his heart. His opponent, the 46th Army, directly followed him and launched an intensive artillery attack on the assembly area of his infantry.
The little hope I had was completely shattered...
A large-caliber incendiary bomb exploded. People and objects within a radius of tens of meters were enveloped in raging fire almost immediately. There was no time to react or dodge. In just the blink of an eye, the first round
More than a hundred rounds of large-caliber incendiary bombs quickly formed a medium-sized fire field at the dense infantry assembly area behind the headquarters...
In the fire scene, all the soldiers who were swallowed up by the fire could not get rid of and extinguish the flames no matter how they rolled on the ground. In the end, they could only watch helplessly as the soldiers were drawn into the sea of fire one by one, with bursts of heartbreak.
The lungs screamed, slowly losing life. Eventually they were burned to ashes.
Seeing the scene in front of him, he thought about the time he gave the order to attack the Chinese positions with incendiary bombs an hour ago. Division Commander Silenkov's face turned pale in an instant. He couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise to his subordinates.
Called: "Incendiary bombs, the Chinese ** team is actually equipped with incendiary bombs... How is this possible, how is this possible..."
However, at this moment, there was no extra time for him to think about this problem. The 46th Army artillery group continued to fire round after round of artillery shells, expanding the area of the sea of fire at the rear infantry assembly area at a very fast speed.
Watching helplessly as more and more soldiers were drawn into the sea of fire, the stunned Lieutenant General Silenkov finally reacted from the shock and exclaimed loudly to the staff officer beside him.
"Asshole, why are you still standing there? Do you want all the more than 10,000 Red Army warriors to be buried in the flames... Order the troops to disperse immediately, disperse and move quickly..."
The order had just been issued, and the frontline voluntarily withdrew from the melee battlefield. Thousands of old men who had fled almost all the way back were defeated. Following closely behind, they appeared directly in the eyes of the division commander, Lieutenant General Silinkov.
Before the political commissar, who was always known for his sternness, could react from the shock, Lieutenant General Silenkov's curses were the first to be heard in the headquarters: "Asshole, who told them to retreat... The Chinese
They used incendiary bombs. Do they want to come back and be burned alive on the battlefield... Stupid. Simply stupid. I want to shoot their commander..."
As soon as Lieutenant General Silenkov finished speaking, the political commissar's voice rang directly after him: "I agree with Comrade Division Commander, not killing these cowards is not enough to quell the anger of the warriors. We, the Great Soviet Red Army
Our morale was defeated at the hands of these cowards..."
Different from the indignant expressions of the two chiefs, the face of the major general's chief of staff was calm from beginning to end... After the two men cursed, with the last trace of reason, they reminded the two officers.
: "Comrade Division Commander and Comrade Political Commissar, the Chinese artillery fire is too fierce, and they also use incendiary bombs. What should we do next? Should we retreat proactively, or hold on to the spot..."
"Without an order from the Commander-in-Chief, we can only hold on to the spot... Order all combat troops to disperse immediately, dig trenches on the spot, and be prepared to hold on... If nothing goes wrong, the squadron's troops will
After reinforcements arrive, they will definitely launch a series of counterattacks against us..." Relying on his own combat experience, Lieutenant General Silenkov directly ordered with a majestic look.
"Yes, Comrade Commander..."
The artillery attack lasted for half an hour, and more than 150 artillery pieces poured more than 25,000 incendiary bombs into the Japanese positions. Although on the eve of the bombardment, more than 10,000 old men were under the command of Lieutenant General Silenkov.
Under the order, a certain degree of evacuation and protection was carried out. However, more than 20,000 incendiary bombs still caused a huge cost to the Soviet Red Army, with at least 5,000 direct deaths.
More importantly, under the raging fire, most of the heavy weapons and baggage carried by the 30,000 old men were almost completely burned...
The old Maozi soldier who experienced the first incendiary bomb attack had not yet reacted to the shock. A deafening roar spread directly from far to near, reaching the ears of everyone on the battlefield. Following closely behind him, who was still in shock,
The old Maozi soldiers, without exception, all felt the slight trembling of the earth...
Lieutenant General Silenkov, the division commander who was familiar with modern warfare, his face that had been calm just now turned pale. He turned to the two partners beside him and said directly: "Heavy tank unit, definitely a heavy tank unit, and there are hundreds of them.
Heavy tanks... How is that possible? Didn't the report say that the Chinese Army is only equipped with medium tanks..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a black line consisting of a large number of tanks appeared at the end of the grassland in three different directions.
As the roar of the tank engine became louder and louder, the Chinese heavy tank attack formation, which was like a black line just now, directly revealed its ferocious face...
In three directions, there were more than a hundred American heavy tanks in each direction, holding their black muzzles high, spitting out black smoke, and lining up in the most basic armored charging formation. Like an unstoppable sharp arrow, they quickly hit their position three times.
Coming from different directions.
"Asshole, what are you still doing? Order our own tank troops to attack immediately and block the tanks of the Chinese ** team... Go..." The old Maozi Lieutenant General Silenkov reacted from the shock without hesitation.
, ordered with a nervous look on his face.
"Yes, Comrade Division Commander... However, after the shelling just now, the number of heavy tanks in our hands is already less than a hundred. At most, it can only slow down the attack speed of the Chinese Army..." A combat staff officer quickly took the order and
go….
"Rumble..." Amidst the roar of huge engines, the remaining eighty or so tanks around the Lao Maozi Division headquarters were directly under the command of their respective battalion commanders, divided into three different directions, and quickly attacked to meet the enemy.
.
Looking at the torrent of steel rolling away, Lieutenant General Silenkov, the commander of Lao Maozi's division, calmed down a little. He continued to give orders to the chief of staff in front of him, following closely behind him.
"Comrade Chief of Staff, immediately order all commanders on the battlefield to build fortifications on the spot and wait for reinforcements... In addition, all anti-tank guns carried by our army should be concentrated in these three directions. No matter what, we must block the Chinese
This counterattack of the ** team... Also, report the current difficulties our army is encountering to the Commander-in-Chief immediately and request the Commander-in-Chief to send reinforcements immediately. Of course, even if there are no reinforcements, we hope that the Commander-in-Chief can dispatch some reinforcements.
Air power provides our army with necessary air support."
"Yes, Comrade Commander..."
The more than 80 remaining heavy tanks of Lao Maozi had just driven less than a kilometer out of the position when they collided directly with the heavy tank division of the Chinese Army. As a result, the two tanks were completely disproportionate in number.
The troops were fighting together as if they were fighting at close range...
"Boom..." A large-caliber armor-piercing bullet spurted out from the long barrel, and the bulky tank body couldn't help but tremble. The hot armor-piercing bullet, directly under the action of huge inertia, fired at hundreds of meters every
With an initial speed of seconds, it hit an old Maozi tank directly opposite, which was preparing to attack a fellow tank.
"Boom..." The hot shell, after flying in the air for less than a second, hit the target's front armor very accurately. Suddenly, a white light flashed at the impact point of the shell. The old man who had been adjusting the muzzle just now
The Maozi tank was directly torn apart by the shell and made a violent explosion...
Although the commanders of more than 20 Lao Maozi tanks all have very superb combat experience, these combat experiences cannot be countered by the fact that the Chinese team has the same type of tanks and has an absolute numerical advantage.
Because, just when they fired a shell, the Chinese tank group directly opposite, at least five tanks, had already fired armor-piercing shells of the same caliber at themselves at the same time...
Violent explosions began to sound on the tank melee battlefield. The old tanks were instantly torn into a pile of pieces under the direct hits of several artillery shells. Immediately afterwards, the pile of pieces turned into a ball.
Huge fireball…
Of course, under Lao Maozi's sharp attack, the three heavy tank regiments also suffered a lot of casualties. However, these negligible losses were simply insignificant for a tank division with more than 300 heavy tanks.
To the point where it breaks your muscles and bones.
The Lao Maozi tank defense line blocking the front of three heavy tank regiments was torn to pieces under the attack of the Chinese heavy tank division after just one round of fighting. The hand-to-hand combat between tanks was torn apart by the strength of the Chinese heavy tank division.
Ended with total victory.
The densely packed tank cluster, with the infantry from three regiments of the 139th Division that had just arrived on the battlefield behind them and was eager to take action, quickly passed over the wreckage of more than 20 Lao Maozi tanks, like an unstoppable torrent of steel, and quickly built a temporary structure towards Lao Maozi.
A line of defense swept away... (To be continued
