Chapter 159

The universal machine gun in history was developed by the Germans because the Treaty of Versailles stipulated that the German army could not equip the Maxim. In this time and space, the universal machine gun was the first creation of the Hanyang Military Industrial Group. The idea came from a certain person named Shengun.

For Soviet soldiers, the small-caliber mortars of the Chinese ** team were just like that. Cover your ears and lie down, and you would be able to escape in all likelihood. Being targeted by a general-purpose machine gun would be fatal, and it was equipped to the squad level.

A general-purpose machine gun is simply an infantryman’s nightmare. Once hit, if you are lucky enough to receive one bullet, if you are unlucky enough to hit three bullets one after another, it is basically hopeless, and even if you try to save it, it will be useless. If we talk about machine guns

If it is a nightmare, then the snipers of the National Defense Forces are devil-like existences.

It has only been a day and a half since the war began, and now there are no Soviet commanders who dare to hang up binoculars and hold short guns. Whenever they launch a charge, they are all dressed as ordinary soldiers. Officers holding pistols in their hands are often the first to be knocked down.

object.

As a defensive party, Fang Rui on the position was surprised by the tenacity of the Soviet army. Every time the Soviet army launched an attack, the interval became shorter and shorter from today on. The last time the Soviet army attacked was twenty minutes ago, it was defeated.

After retreating, the Soviet army conducted a short artillery bombardment, and the infantry came up again. The skirmisher line slowly moved forward. Once they entered 300 meters, they started to be cautious.

Fang Rui remembered that his father said that Lao Maozi is the nation best at learning in battle, and he also joked that Maozi is a fighting race. Now it seems that his father's words are right. The effective range of semi-automatic rifles equipped by infantry is three hundred meters.

In terms of firepower, the Soviet infantry was completely suppressed. Especially when the infantry fired at each other, there was never any suspense. The only thing was that the ammunition consumption was very large.

It was approaching dusk, and the fighting on the position suddenly ended due to the roaring sound of artillery. Lao Maozi's 122 howitzers fell like raindrops, not caring that the Soviet soldiers were only about two hundred meters away from the position. This change made the position more

The officers and soldiers of the 135th Division of the National Defense Force were unprepared. There was no time for them to dodge the artillery shells, and they were already overwhelmed by the intensive artillery fire. Fang Rui in the command post was stunned when he saw this scene. He immediately grabbed the phone and called the division headquarters

He shouted: "Old Maozi fired artillery regardless of the enemy or our own. Our army suffered heavy losses and I need reinforcements."

Putting down the phone, Fang Rui picked up his helmet and strapped it on, holding a submachine gun in his hand. He said to the chief of staff: "I'm going up. I must shoot down the old man. I leave this place to you. Let the machine gun battalion shoot all the shells."

When you go out, you must cut off Mao Zi's follow-up." With the only reserve team in hand, Fang Rui disappeared around the corner of the traffic ditch without waiting for the chief of staff to reply.

The chief of staff quickly reported to the division headquarters. When Liao Yaoxiang heard the news, he cursed angrily: "Fang Rui, this lunatic, ordered the division artillery regiment to block Mao Zi's follow-up at all costs."

When Fang Rui arrived at the 1st Battalion's position, the battle situation had become extremely bad. After a round of artillery fire from some of the Soviet troops, the enemy and our own, the follow-up troops stepped on the explosive points and rushed up. The 1st Battalion's position was broken through in many places.

Liu Dayou, the commander of the first battalion who had fired four grenades, and then a dozen or so suicide squads attacked him.

Soldiers from the two armies were entangled everywhere on the position, and the vast number of Soviet soldiers flooded over like a tide.

Boom boom boom! A dozen Soviet soldiers screamed and fell to the ground at the site of a series of explosions. This was when Liu Dayou, the commander of the first battalion, fired the grenade on his body. After the officers and soldiers on the position were stunned by this scene, they

They all followed suit. Another non-commissioned officer rushed into the crowd of Soviet troops with a pack of explosives. With a bang, and after more than a dozen hits, the Soviet army's ferocious momentum was curbed, just like the waves tens of meters high on the sea.

It was as if it hit the cliff hard on the shore.

Fang Rui, who arrived in time, felt a pain in the corner of his eye. Witnessing the feat of more than a dozen officers and soldiers rushing into the enemy group regardless of their own safety, Fang Rui pulled the trigger of the submachine gun in his hand to the end. There were too many Soviet troops, although Fang Rui arrived in time.

, the first battalion position was still about to be undefendable. At this moment, a burst of intensive artillery fire suddenly rang out, and the impact point was 200 meters in front of the position. The division artillery regiment used precise and superb skills to create a wall of firepower, which was deadly.

Block the following Soviet troops behind the wall of fire.

"No, come closer." At this time, Fang Rui was hugged tightly by the reserve company commander and pinned down in the trench. The soldier carrying the walkie-talkie followed him closely with admiration in his eyes. Fang Rui grabbed the walkie-talkie microphone.

, shouted towards the back.

"If you get any closer, you will be blown up as well." The artillery commander's voice was so loud that it made people's ears hurt.

"Instead of losing the position, it's better to let you blow up." Fang Rui's answer was very indifferent. After a short silence from the other side of the microphone, he said: "You're cruel!" Then the artillery shells moved a little further in front of the formation.

, a wall of fire appeared near 100 meters, and finally broke through 200 meters. The Soviet soldiers who were rushing upwards suffered an unexpected blow.

The tenacity of the Soviet army far exceeded what was imagined in advance. In the face of such fierce firepower, the Soviet soldiers were still rushing upwards, regardless of casualties, and impacted the crumbling defense line. What crushed the Soviet army's will to fight was the force from

The ten Eagle-3 fighter jets on the horizon, these pilots who ignored the hardship of landing after dark, dived and strafed again and again, completely overwhelming the momentum of the Soviet army's rush. What the Soviet army feared most was not the attack.

Instead, they retreat. Every time they retreat, it is often the time when casualties are greatest. The mortars of various calibers and ranges of the Chinese ** team are like tails, chasing them. Five hundred meters to one

Kilometers, the Soviet army is greeted by 60-caliber artillery shells. From 1000 to 2000 meters, 82-caliber artillery shells are flying. A little further away, there are cordial greetings from 120-caliber artillery shells. But now the Soviet army only needs to withdraw five or six hundred meters.

Meters are enough, because the Soviet army has dug trenches five to six hundred meters away from the front of the formation, which is one of the reasons why the Soviet army can advance quickly. Because of the gap in infantry firepower, the Soviet army came up with such a very effective

In this way, once the Soviet troops retreated to the trenches where they started, the Wehrmacht's pursuing artillery fire would have to stop.

Bardykorgan, railway station. The railway station was in tatters and was damaged by Soviet artillery fire. Surprisingly, it was still functioning normally. Engineers were still busy on the railway. A military train rushed into the station. The first one

What got out of the stuffed truck was a major general, wearing long riding boots, straight clothes, and a Western style.

Seeing Chen Changjie, commander of the city defense of Baldykorgan, who was waiting on the train platform, Major General ran forward and saluted: "Sun Liren, commander of the 138th Division of the National Defense Force, was ordered to arrive with his troops. Please give me your instructions, sir."

"Thank you for your hard work. The war situation is urgent, so there is no need for those false gestures. The 135th Division has been on the front for two days, and they have suffered the most casualties. Your unit will form a team immediately, run out of the city, and reinforce the unit." Chen Changjie is a second-term student of Wuhu Continental University.

While many first-year students in the military were still struggling to become major generals, his promotion path had always seemed smooth. This was related to his outstanding performance in several large-scale exercises, but this time it was a huge test. He only had four

Chen Changjie of an infantry division had to withstand the fierce attack of 400,000 Soviet troops. If it were not for this pre-built strong position, Baldykorgan would have been unable to defend it long ago.

Sun Liren's division was urgently transported from Ili. They didn't get off the train until Almaty. They sat on the train for dozens of hours. They are all weak. But this did not prevent the officers from cursing and kicking the soldiers' butts.

Push them off the train, then form a team, and then go to the battlefield overnight.

When Liao Yaoxiang saw Sun Liren, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. The two were both ocean turtles, but they had no friendship. They were in the same front army and their relationship was very ordinary. Sun Liren felt that Liao Yaoxiang was too gangster and had lost the face of international students. Liao Yaoxiang

I felt that Sun Liren was too rigid and would be silent without saying a few words.

After encountering on the battlefield, his mood was naturally different. Liao Yaoxiang said to Sun Liren sincerely: "Old Maozi is very powerful. I fought with one division for two days and suffered more than half of the casualties. In these two days, I shot three and lost the position.

officer. The biggest loss was Fang Rui's regiment. I added a battalion of troops to him one after another. I don't know how many can be withdrawn."

"Thank you Brother Jianchu for reminding me, I must be careful. Speaking of which, I am lucky. I heard that the Air Force bombers have been bombing the Soviet logistics supply lines in the past two days. The Soviet artillery fire in front of me should not be as fierce as it was at the beginning.

"

"Brother Fumin is right. Lao Maozi's artillery preparations are not as good as each time. If they are not enough, you have to be careful. Just in the afternoon, Lao Maozi's artillery opened fire regardless of the enemy or our own, and the soldiers of the two armies were entangled in the position.

It’s stewed.”

While he was talking, the chief of staff came over. After whispering for a while, Liao Yaoxiang's expression changed: "How are you injured?"

"It's still being lifted down. It's said that one leg will definitely not be saved."

In Alma-Ata, after Liu Mingzhao answered a phone call, he stood up from his seat and said loudly: "Rescue at all costs. If you don't get rescued, I will shoot you. Forget it, send you back immediately."

Zhang Zhizhong, who was sitting across from him, looked at Liu Mingzhao in confusion. This man has always been elegant and elegant, and he never messed up when a mountain collapsed in front of him. Why did he lose his composure after answering a phone call? "Brother Bocheng, what happened?"

"Brother Wenbai, the eldest son was captured on the front line of Bardikorgan. Lao Maozi opened fire before dark. The eldest son was injured trying to save a soldier beside him." Liu Mingzhao looked annoyed, and Zhang Zhizhong said

With a look of astonishment on his face, he said: "Eldest Young Master? Why don't I know? Which army are you in?"

"The 135th Division, his name is Fang Rui. I asked Commander Fu for instructions, and he said that his son is also a soldier, and there is no reason for soldiers to avoid fighting. Liao Yaoxiang, this bastard, I have to shoot him." Liu Mingzhao was extremely angry,

Keep stamping your feet.

"Jian Chu is not to be blamed for this. I didn't even know that the eldest son was on the front line, so I'd better send a telegram to Beijing as soon as possible. The General Staff has not yet finalized our counterattack plan, probably because it is worried that we do not have enough troops."

Lu Jin strode into the war room and looked at the officers with angry faces: "Who, who gave the order to fire the artillery? Don't you know that our soldiers are still entangled with the enemy on the battlefield?"

"Please calm down, Comrade Lukin, the order was given by me. According to Commander Pavlov's request, we must capture Baldykorgan within three days, otherwise the entire war situation will be affected." The speaker was.

Political commissar Klishka, a little man from the Caucasus.

No matter how angry Lu Jin is, he can only calm down when facing the political commissar, because the party commands the gun, and the political commissar can dismiss him from his post and seize command power when necessary.

"Comrade Political Commissar, I think what you should be concerned about is our logistics and transportation. After two days of fierce fighting, the army's artillery shells have been almost consumed. Why haven't they been shipped up for a long time? Without artillery shells, how can we let our soldiers resist with their flesh and blood?

The enemy's machine gun bullets? Who will be responsible for delaying the war? Before the war started, who swore that there would be absolutely no problems with logistics and transportation?" Lu Jin did not dare to be aggressive. He could only go around in circles to find the weak spot of the political commissar.

"Comrade Lu Jin, please calm down. The enemy planes bombed hard, and our air force suffered heavy losses in the battle with the enemy planes. The ten aviation groups responsible for protecting the logistics line have lost more than 500 aircraft.

.I have reported this matter to my superiors and asked the Air Force to improve the situation as soon as possible."

How could Lu Jin not know what was going on? Hundreds of kilometers of logistics lines depended on a railway line. The daily consumption of hundreds of thousands of people was an astonishing figure. Before the war, he never thought that the Chinese ** team

They are so tenacious that with five divisions of less than 100,000 troops, they actually held on to the Bardikorgan defense line for two full days. So far, the Soviet army has not even broken through all the outer defense lines. All along, Chinese soldiers have been politically propagandized.

They are all young soldiers who are greedy for life and afraid of death. Only after the fight did they realize that in terms of fighting to the death, they were no worse than the Soviet army. There have been hundreds of incidents on the position where Chinese officers and soldiers detonated their explosives and died together with the Soviet army after the position was breached.

feat.

The inability to capture Baldikorgan quickly exposed the problem of the long logistics line. The Chinese Air Force has a huge advantage. Although it is slightly inferior in quantity, it is far superior in quality. Every air battle is

Not to mention winning with less, the result is still far behind. Now on the northern battlefield, the sky belongs to the Chinese Air Force. Under the cover of fighter jets, bombers are bombing roads, bridges, transport teams, and assembly areas every day.

"No matter what, one hundred thousand rounds of artillery shells must be brought up before dawn tomorrow."

"Up to 50,000 rounds! Let comrades carry forward the revolutionary spirit, overcome difficulties, not be afraid of sacrifice, and must capture Bardi Kurgan during the day. The enemy has held on for two days, and the casualties are not lower than ours. They can't hold on for much longer.

.”

While Lu Jin was arguing with the political commissar, Liu Mingzhao waited for Beijing's reply. "If you are 50% sure, you can implement the counterattack plan. If you are less than 50% sure, you can wait another week for the 11th Mechanized Army in Lanzhou."

Transported to Almaty, and then carry out counterattack. This character belongs to Fang Jianxiong."

"Bocheng, did Fushuai not mention the eldest son?" Zhang Zhizhong was surprised after reading the telegram. Liu Mingzhao nodded: "Yes, not a word was mentioned. Wen Bai, the Soviet army has been attacking for two consecutive days, and then

The spirit remains undiminished. It seems that Fu Shuai’s worries are justified, so let’s wait until the 11th Mechanized Army arrives.”

"In this case, we will transfer three divisions from the reserve and replace all the previous divisions. Now I am not worried about Bardykorgan, I am worried about the direction of Bishkek. I will hand over the Ninth Mechanized Army to

Given to the front army headquarters, the troops in his hands are tighter." Zhang Zhizhong is a kind man. For this counterattack, Liu Mingzhao transferred the Ninth Mechanized Army from Zhang Zizhong's hands, with the purpose of first eliminating the intruders on the northern front.

enemy.

"You know Xin Chen's character better than I do. Let's just wait for news about him. May I ask, how is the situation in the direction of Andiyan?" Liu Mingzhao returned to the sand table and stared at the entire stretching front. Hundreds of kilometers throughout Central Asia.

Ignited by the flames of war.
