Chapter 2027 Crushing Breakthrough

While the Second Airborne Division attacked Hasek City, the First Airborne Division and the Third Airborne Division successively airborne and completed assembly. Lieutenant General Lingxing's army command arrived with the last batch of transport airships.-<  >-net.

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, after learning that Hasek had successfully conquered, the Second Airborne Division left a regiment to welcome the first and the Third Airborne Army arrived. After the division commander Colonel Zhao Zhengyang led two regiments and the division's direct troops north along the railway, Ling Xing made a quick decision and personally led the first. The Third Airborne Division marched from the southwest direction to the northward line of the German army's logistics center, Kamishli City.

At 2:10 p.m., the border fortification area of ​​100 kilometers east of Kamishli was shrouded in battle clouds.

The positions on the front line of Taylor Kochek, the officers and soldiers of the 24th Army of Anjia Army, have already entered the front line of positions along the traffic trenches and are on standby.

The main commanders of each division and regiment stood in front of the periscopes of bunkers and carefully observed the situation of the German defense line opposite. Since the launch of the "Iron Hammer" plan, the German army drew a large number of new forces from both wings, and replaced the second-line or even the servants. At first, they could attack twice, but with the sharp increase in casualties, the Germans had to turn from attack to defense, and the battlefields on the northern and southern lines became quiet.

At this moment, the position of the German army opposite was as quiet as a huge cemetery. Some buildings and bunkers that were bombed by the dense air force of Anjia Army Air Force in the morning were still emitting wisps of blue smoke.

In the front line of Anjia Army, commanders of each company are assigned tasks.

"Brothers, our company's goal is the German trench at the southernmost point in front of us... When attacking, the group army will send tanks, armored vehicles and army aviation troops to support us. Once the enemy's position is occupied, do not rush to advance in depth... Our position is very critical. We must thoroughly clear the trenches, artillery and air defense bunkers, remove all German soldiers inside, eliminate all suspicious explosives, and beware of the German army's sudden arrival on the southern front. We will nail them there firmly and wait until the warning order is lifted! Do you understand?"

Among them, in a trench near the German army's breakthrough in the south, a young lieutenant, who was not tall and full of spirit on his face, was reminding the soldiers who were sorting out their equipment in a high voice.

At this moment, nearly two hundred soldiers in a company were automatically divided into two rows and squeezed into a short trench. Most of the soldiers held i-type automatic rifles and i-type submachine guns. Each squad was equipped with an i-type general light machine gun and two rocket launchers. A fire spearman and two 50mm mortars above the platoon. The heavy fire platoon directly under the company had four 60mm mortars and six i-type general heavy machine guns. If necessary, they could even call the air force for support. The fierce firepower had reached the strength of the US military during the Korean War later.

The i-type general machine gun has a difference between light and heavy machine guns. The heavy machine gun is equipped with a heavy barrel that can ensure the machine gun's firepower is longer and has a longer range. It usually uses a triangular adjustable bracket and ammunition chain to supply ammunition. In principle, a heavy machine gun firepower group consists of three to four people.

Light machine guns are equipped with bipods that are easy to transfer quickly. Since individual soldiers don’t carry a large amount of ammunition, they mainly use 75 round assault drums. Usually a light machine gun team consists of two members, shooter and loader, among which the loader is mainly carrying ammunition.

Here are some additional information about the i-type submachine gun.

The i-type submachine gun is a single-soldier melee weapon with continuous and dense firepower designed and finalized by Major General Tao Xun, the designer of Zhongzheng's second-type submachine gun in early 1939. Its design purpose is two:

First, the Zhongzheng II submachine gun equipped previously could not use a 75-round round drum, and the fire rate was only 650 rounds per minute, which was similar to the submachine guns of the United States, Germany and the Soviet Union during the same period, and could not achieve the effect of firepower suppression during wartime; second, it was officially distinguished from the Zhongzheng II submachine gun using 9mm pistol bullets, and was unified into a 7.62mm caliber bullet, which could greatly reduce the logistical pressure. (-<  >-net.)

The i-type submachine gun uses 7.62mm pistol bullets, and the entire gun is divided into 81 parts. It only takes six working hours to produce a gun. Except for a few parts such as the barrel, the rest of the parts are stamped by steel plates. Welding and riveting processes are used extensively in gun production. Components except gun barrels can be produced and processed by unskilled laborers using very simple equipment in automobile repair shops, mold factories or hardware factories. Those skilled technical workers can completely invest in other more sophisticated weapons production, which will greatly improve the production efficiency of Anjiajun military-industrial enterprises.

Like the i-type general machine gun and automatic rifle, the i-type submachine gun, which looks extremely rough, is solid and reliable, and can be used normally in severe cold and hot environments. The quality of the entire gun does not include magazines 3.35 kg, which is 1.15 kg lighter than the Zhongzheng II submachine gun, and weighs 5.18 kg when equipped with 75 rounds of drums, and the firing rate is increased to 950 rounds per minute. Compared with the Thompson submachine gun in the United States and the p38 and p40 submachine guns in Germany, it has an absolute fire suppression advantage.

After the preparations for the front-line assault troops were ready, the familiar roar of the aircraft engine came from the sky behind the position, and there was almost a buzzing sound between the sky and the earth.

Due to the continuous air battles over the past two months, most veterans were too lazy to turn to see the spectacular scene that they were used to. Waves of b2 bombers passed through the low altitude under the escort of various fighter jets and thrust aircraft. They formed a triangular combat formation every three or six. When attacking ground targets, they usually carried three models of high-explosive bombs, 500 kilograms, 250 kilograms and 50 kilograms.

"Bang bang bang--"

On the opposite line of defense, the German air defense cannons roared desperately, and black clouds bloomed in the sky.

In the blue sky after the rain, there was no German combat aircraft sprayed with blue-green block camouflage. The silver-gray sprayed by the Anjia Army fighter jet became the only master of this sky.

Although in order to recover from the disadvantages and provide the army with necessary intelligence support, the Luftwaffe quietly dispatched four or five hundred fighter jets from Europe to the Middle East and deployed them everywhere, facing the Anjia Army Air Force cluster, which has an absolute advantage, the Luftwaffe could only choose to avoid fighting, otherwise blind dispatch will ruin the Luftwaffe's fire.

"Woo--"

The shrill and sharp whistling sound of the b2 bomber filled his ears, and the continuous and violent explosions shocked the earth. The air waves set off five or six kilometers away in the west quickly swept across the empty battlefield, allowing the officers and soldiers in the trenches of the Anjia Army to experience the warmth in their bodies, which shows how intense the bombing is.

The officers and soldiers of the Anjia Army were bombed continuously, and the German defense line, which was already full of holes, looked increasingly precarious and vulnerable after a new round of steel and flames! But this was still not a good opportunity for attack. After a half-hour air strike, after another ten minutes of rest, the artillery group behind the front-line positions of the Anjia Army suddenly launched a rapid artillery attack of a quarter of an hour.

Such tactics are tailor-made for the German army with extremely tenacious fighting will. In the textbooks of the German school, aircraft bombing is usually the prelude to infantry attacks. It is estimated that at this time, the German commanders were asking their troops to enter the trenches and tunnels on the front line from artillery and air raid shelters, so that the German army would suffer great losses in the sudden replenishment of the Anjia Army.

The 150mm and 120mm heavy artillery attack lasted for a quarter of an hour were fleeting. On the front line of Anjia Army in front of the fortress, grassroots lieutenants and non-commissioned officers loudly reminded the soldiers who were engaged in the first wave of attack to be prepared for attack.

At the same time, the roar of the engine came from behind the departure position, the passage between the fortresses.

Unlike the sound from the airplane engines, this sound is mixed with a large amount of metal friction and a clanging sound when crushing the ground. At the same time, the odor evaporated when diesel burns drifting with the wind and spreading on the front line with a depth of five kilometers.

When the heavy tank brigades, tank deportation brigades, tiger i, leopard ii tanks and type iii armored combat vehicles, assault guns and type ii tank destroyers crossed the trenches and drove quickly towards the German defensive positions ahead, a loud military horn sound finally came from the entire front.

"Drip, dadrip, dadrip, dadrip—"

"Run!"

"For the sake of the new China, move forward!"

On the front line of nearly 100 kilometers in the northwest of the Mesopotamian Basin, tens of thousands of Anjia infantry climbed ladders and rushed out of the trenches. They had the same desire to win with the people's army that later fought north and north and resisted foreign humiliation. The only difference was that their equipment was more advanced, with large-eared steel helmets, ammunition packs and gas masks suitable for field combat, automatic rifles that can stab and shoot continuously, and submachine guns with dense melee firepower, all kinds of them.

The bazooka hand carried the bazooka on his back, holding an i-pistol weighing 0.85 kilograms in his hand, using a 7.62-caliber bullet, and quickly followed the large army forward. In addition to carrying ammunition hands and carrying ammunition boxes, most of the grenades carried by other officers and soldiers were inserted on the upper side of belts or boots. The grassroots lieutenants and non-commissioned officers held i-pistols or thugs, constantly waved forward, greeting their company and platoon soldiers, and followed the tanks and armored vehicles to launch an attack.

"Boom boom boom boom--"

The artillery of the Anjia Army continued to pour shells into the German positions, and dense barrage continued to advance into the depths. Since the war, the middle field of the confrontation between the two sides had already been bumpy, mixed with blood. I don’t know how many times it has been plowed, which is worse than the surface of the moon.

The mechanized army of Anjia Army formed a rolling steel frenzy and bravely advanced.

The more than 100 Tiger I tanks in front blasted the 37mm, 57mm and 75mm anti-tank shells shot from the German positions with their thick armor. Unless they were bombarded by anti-tank guns of 88mm or larger caliber, the Tiger I tanks could be said to be invincible.

The more than 200 Leopard ii tanks following closely behind the Tiger tank had an armor in front of the turret of 120 mm and an armor in front of the vehicle reached an angle of 90 mm/30 degrees, which also had a certain resistance to the German anti-tank guns. The same 105 mm 55-diameter tank gun as the Tiger i tank is worthy of being known as a "tank can opener". It also has strong destructive power for the German reinforced concrete fortresses, bunkers, and fortifications. The defense line built by the German army over the past year almost opened a gap when it passed.

Although the Leopard i tank withdrew from the Anjia Army's assembly and became the main foreign trade model, its reliable chassis gave the I assault gun and the I-type tank destroyer a strong maneuverability, 75mm, 43-diameter and 48-diameter artillery. It still has a suppressive firepower advantage for light and dark bunkers, machine gun bunkers and anti-tank positions. More than 100 fighting vehicles of the two models of mechanized army will make up for the insufficient firepower of the tank and give the Germans a fatal blow.

More than 200 Type III armored combat vehicles have thin defenses, but they interspersed back and forth in front of the infantry, capturing every fighter. Their 20mm cannons are not good at dealing with the Germans' strong defensive fortress, but their ability to suppress the firepower of German infantry and expose personnel is very powerful.

More than 400 Type II fully tracked armored personnel carriers lined up at the back of the steel beast not only allowed the armored infantry in the car to rest fully, but the 12.7mm high-level dual-purpose machine gun on the front of the car kept spitting out flames, blocking the last loophole of the entire offensive formation.

Looking east from the position where the Germans were, the boundless sea of ​​tanks looked like the powerful visual impact force, which instantly caused the morale of the German army and the servant team to fall to a low point.

On the entire battlefield, the shouts of the officers and soldiers of the Anjia Army were overwhelming. With the huge group of more than 600 fighter jets, attack aircraft and bombers in the sky, more than 200 armed helicopters also arrived from the low altitude. The entire attack was smooth and rigorous.

After sorting out the heavy artillery group of the Anjia Army and pre-inspected the engineering troops, the Germans laid out minefields in front of the positions in advance, which had basically lost their function. The surging Anjia Army attack troops directly advanced three or four hundred meters ahead of the German positions without much obstacle.

The Germans suddenly burst out with tenacious counterattack firepower, and the mg34 and mg42 light and heavy machine guns made a harsh sound of tearing the cloth. The muzzle shot out violent fire whips, hitting the front armor of the tank, making sparks.

Anti-tank guns and resilient guns of various calibers opened fire from the hiding bunker in time. On the front line of positions, the rocket launcher produced by Anjia Army technology was also manipulating their officers and soldiers who were fearless and suddenly stood up from the trenches and fired them, and they were free to launch a desperate attack.

In addition, most German infantry took out anti-tank grenades, flamethrowers and large and small molten iron bottles. The Germans independently developed the "Iron Fist" anti-tank grenade launcher with a range of only 60 meters was ready. Just wait for the Anjia Army's tanks to approach, they fought a desperate battle with the steel war chariot with their flesh and blood.

To a certain extent, the German defense has fully utilized the combat effectiveness of existing personnel and weapons and equipment. However, in the face of the three-dimensional attack of the Anjia Army, this resistance is very weak and powerless. Almost a fire point is exposed, and it is hit by several shells at the same time. Whether it is a fortress or a bunker, it collapses instantly. The rocket launchers, who have just stood up and have not had time to aim, were torn into pieces by dense rain of machine cannons and machine guns. The rockets that have not been fired exploded in the trenches, burying the surrounding German officers and soldiers.

The most terrifying thing is the armed helicopter. Because it hovered in the air, the German army's every move in the trench was clearly visible, and dense rockets ejected out. Although only half of them were shot directly into the trench, due to the limitation of the narrow space during the explosion, the power of the explosion's shock wave and the sputtered steel fragments doubled. The German officers and soldiers were torn to pieces before they could scream.

The artillery positions in the rear of the German army had just completed assembly, and the B2 bombers of the Anjia Air Force had already roared down, throwing dense bombs over the heads of the German artillery. In an instant, a large area became a steel purgatory. The attack aircraft was not to be outdone. Relying on the protection of the 57mm high-strength bulletproof glass of the cockpit and the 15mm thick nickel-molybdenum alloy armor plate equipped with the fuselage, it unscrupulously hovered in a low altitude of 20 to 30 meters high. The two 37mm aerial cannons at the front and a 12.7mm machine gun on the left and right wings, they beat the German tanks and armored convoys that were rebelliously rescued.

It has to be said that this situation makes people feel that the Germans who are in despair are making the final struggle for their survival, but in the face of huge disparity in strength, the German army's resistance is so powerless.

"boom--"

A few meters high suddenly rose in front of the German position. It was the effect of the Germans pouring a large amount of gasoline and unrefined oil into the anti-tank trench forty or fifty meters away in front of the front line. Almost in an instant, a sea of ​​fire rose up on the front line. However, the bombers of the Anjia Army flew over and threw down heavy bombs. With the violent explosions, pieces of anti-tank trenches collapsed in an instant. The collapsed mud and sand and earth quickly landed the fuel, and the fuel that was isolated from oxygen disappeared soon.

The continuous bombing soon filled several passages of the fire trenches. The Anjia Army's tanks, assault guns, tank destroyers and armored vehicles crossed the anti-tank trenches and rushed to the German positions with a arrogant momentum. A large number of Anjia Army's armored infantry wearing gas masks quickly followed up. The shooting sound of i-type submachine guns and automatic rifles began to flood the trenches and tunnels that the Germans worked hard to manage. In some places on the long front, cruel hand-to-hand combat even broke out.

Before sunset, the Anjia Army, which occupied the morale and equipment advantages, quickly broke through the front line of the German army. However, the 24th Army of the Anjia Army, which was in the southernmost front, did not immediately advance towards the German army's deep defense line, but stabilized its position and organized defense on the spot.

In the middle and north of the front, the two tank armies of Anjia Army had a total of six tank divisions and four armored infantry divisions, which became invincible steel arrows, provided uninterrupted air suppression by the Air Force. In just three and a half hours, they mercilessly penetrated three defense lines with a depth of ten kilometers.

Subsequently, officers and soldiers of six divisions of the 18th and 30th Army and their direct troops rushed forward and quickly expanded the breakthrough, which was originally only six kilometers wide to twenty-five kilometers.

At 6:30 in the evening, before night fell, news that the city of Camishli, behind the German defense line was successfully captured by the First Airborne Army, reached the front enemy command. The German army had already replaced its masters without knowing it.

Under this situation, Yang Jiuxiao, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Front, decisively changed the formation. The powerful tank cluster was divided into two. The First Tank Army stayed, and the 18th, 24th, 30th Army and the direct troops of the theater were fully encircled and annihilated more than 300,000 German troops that were divided and surrounded.

The Second Tank Army and the War Zone, the armoured troops directly under the group army did not stop, marched directly to the city of Hasek in the southwest. After joining the second and third airborne troops, they continued to fight towards the city of Deirzor in the south along the railway and highway routes, completely disrupting the situation of the battle.
