Chapter five hundred and eighty fourth rapid advance
Above the vast wilderness, a huge armored force is advancing rapidly. This is an unprecedented force composed of more than 80 tanks, more than 100 armored vehicles, and more than 200 trucks. It is also the entire Fengjun army.
The essence lies.
Among these tanks, there are twenty new tanks equipped with long-barreled main guns. After testing, the power of the new main guns has been greatly improved and can penetrate almost all tanks equipped by the Russians. Since Fengjun also returned
Without the development of reliable self-propelled artillery, new tanks took on the important task of anti-tank.
In addition, Zhang Tingshu also learned the lesson from the last battle. If the armored troops are to be effective, they must have enough infantry to cover them. Otherwise, once the tank falls into the quagmire of the infantry, it will be very dangerous. Therefore, if the infantry is also fast, it will become
It's very necessary.
Fengjun's armored vehicles are also rich. In addition to the original tracked armored vehicles, they are also equipped with a number of wheeled personnel carriers. These wheeled vehicles run better than tanks and can easily keep up with tank troops.
Since getting into the car, the soldiers have become much more relaxed and have conserved a lot of physical strength. As long as they arrive on the battlefield, they can fight with vigor and vigor immediately.
Of course, the Feng army is not yet fully mechanized. There are only thirty professional troop carriers, which cannot quickly transport a large number of troops. Zhang Tingshu specially took out fifty of the transport trucks to transport troops and ammunition to provide cover for the armored forces.
.
All the tanks and armored vehicles, plus fifty trucks, form the most advantageous assault iron fist of the Feng army. As for the other main forces of the First Division, they are personally led by Zhang Henian and Wu Kaijie. In addition to more than 200 vehicles transporting supplies, they
Besides trucks, the most important means of transportation is bicycles.
Bicycles were very common in later generations, but in history, bicycles played an important role in the military field. Countries generally used bicycles to increase the mobility of infantry. During World War II, Yamashita Fengfumi, who was known as the Malayan Tiger
He even used bicycles to sweep across the Malay Peninsula, frightening the British.
Fengjun was able to mass-produce bicycles two years ago. At first, everyone did not realize the military value of this two-wheeled thing. However, Zhang Tinglan, with his foresight, had already ordered Fengjun soldiers to learn
Cycling, and also participated in several cross-country cycling competitions.
By now, the value of bicycles has been perfectly reflected. Zhang Henian and Wu Kaijie are all riding bicycles like ordinary soldiers. On the baskets and racks of the bicycles, they carry dry food, water, bullets, grenades, and engineers
Shovel, tent or something like that.
In addition to being able to seat one person, a bicycle can also carry 40 to 50 kilograms of things, which is not too strenuous. Especially the terrain in the Far East is relatively flat, which is very suitable for bicycle maneuvers.
Facing the wind along the way, it was much more comfortable than marching on two feet. More than 8,000 bicycles formed a spectacular and huge team, following closely behind the armored troops. They quickly moved toward the flank of the Russian position.
Rushed over.
"Old Wu, this method you came up with is good. It is indeed a lot easier."
"That's natural!" Wu Kaijie said with a smile: "Sometimes we encounter special terrain that even war horses can't pass, but soldiers can carry bicycles over. When I was chasing the Mongolian bandits, I tried using small groups of bicycles to go around.
The sneak attack is very effective, otherwise I wouldn’t dare to boast in front of the commander!”
When Zhang Henian heard this, he also laughed and said: "Speaking of it, there is only one disadvantage for us. That is to follow their tank troops and eat a mouthful of sand!"
After a morning, they ran about 20 kilometers, and finally it was time to rest. All the soldiers jumped out of the car and moved their sore and numb limbs. Riding for a long time made everyone feel like their butts were about to split.
feeling, but no one cared about resting.
All of them are checking the mount that I love and hate. If there is a problem, fix it immediately. If the welding joint is loose, it needs to be re-welded. If there is a problem with the tire, it needs to be replaced immediately. Then, the mud and sand on the wheel must be removed, and finally it must be re-welded.
Add a little engine oil to ensure that the bike can run smoothly, and there is still nearly half the road waiting for them.
After eating a few mouthfuls of dry food, the huge team started again, but the road that followed was not as comfortable as before. We encountered many rivers along the way, some of which required bridges to pass, and some of which were only
I was able to carry my bicycle and wade across the river, but everyone was covered in mud and water and in a miserable state.
At this time, Zhang Henian and Wu Kaijie were all taking the lead, just like ordinary soldiers, holding heavy bicycles and wading through the muddy river. The sweat was mixed with the muddy water, but no one complained, they just gritted their teeth and followed silently.
Fall behind.
Just when the sun was just turning west, Wu Kaijie suddenly said: "Did you hear New Year greetings? There was an explosion in the distance. I guess it was probably an aerial bomb. It seems that our air force brothers are really trying their best!"
Zhang Henian also said: "Yes, we have been marching hard for a day, and the Air Force is probably worse than us. It has been attacking continuously all day long! Let brothers be prepared, the Air Force helped us win the beginning, and then it will be up to us
It’s up to you!”
While Zhang Henian and the others were making preparations, the armored troops had already exchanged fire with the Russians five kilometers ago. Zhang Tingshu led the armored troops to take the lead and appeared in front of the Russians.
The defending Russian troops were immediately frightened. They never expected that Fengjun would suddenly appear from this angle. In the previous deployment, Budyonny focused on Adinskoye. After he saw
Fengjun's first priority is to completely complete the rendezvous between the two armies and seize the railway line before attacking Chita.
Because of this, Budyonni focused his defense on the front. Between Chita and the front line, all the second-line troops were sent. At this time, Zhang Tingshu and others suddenly appeared, rushing out from the dust that blocked the sky and the sun.
The steel monsters, the roar of motors, and the roar of artillery shells intertwined together to form the note of death.
Against the backdrop of the setting sun, those tanks were coated with a layer of golden light, more like a group of wild beasts with teeth and claws. The Russians immediately fell into panic. During the whole day of bombing, the Russian telegraph lines and
The headquarters has been attacked and communications have not been restored, so combat orders are not smooth.
Facing such a group of confused lambs, Zhang Tingshu certainly had no politeness. Dozens of tanks poured into the Russian army's position crazily, crushing all the original fortifications. Their impact speed became faster and faster, and their speed became faster and faster.
Unscrupulous.
The guns were aimed at the Russian fortresses, and they were called out one by one, blasting them all into the sky. The soldiers who still wanted to resist were shot mercilessly and turned into mangled corpses.
Crushing these corpses, they rushed in depth. As they advanced, the resistance of the Russians became stronger and stronger. More and more Russian soldiers rushed towards the tanks holding explosive packs and grenades.
Chug tug tug... tug tug tug...
Heavy bullets from submachine guns were fired at them. Fengjun's personnel carriers and trucks carried a reinforced battalion of elite soldiers. They all used submachine guns. When they were still five hundred meters away from the battlefield, they all got out of the vehicles.
, followed the tank and rushed inside together.
All the counterattacks launched by the Russians were defeated by them. The brave and fearless Russians became the best targets and were killed one after another. They could not even slow down the advance of the tanks.
And just after the Fengjun armored forces launched a fierce attack, Budyonny, who was on the front line, received the report. The bearded man was stunned. He withstood the bombing for a day, but it did not make him lose confidence. But after getting the news,
He was completely confused.
Not only him, but all the members of the Russian army command felt a suffocating feeling, as if their throats were being pinched. And this was also the case. Fengjun avoided the reality and avoided the solid defense front, and
It was to attack the fragile joint of the Russians. Once this was breached, contact between Chita and Adinskoye was lost, and they fell into siege.
Political Commissar Voroshilov's face was solemn and he hurriedly said: "Comrade Budyonny, give the order quickly and send troops to assist. You can't hesitate any longer!"
"Yes." Budyonni nodded reluctantly: "The Chinese armored forces are their biggest support and the most powerful force. We must also send the most powerful force to deal with them, the Third Division and the Far East Guerrilla Brigade.
Return reinforcements immediately, pull out another division from Chita, and launch attacks from two directions together. We must protect the railway line and drive the Chinese out!"
Although the Russian army issued a combat order, they had already lost the opportunity. Within two hours of the start of the battle, the Feng army had already rushed to a depth of about five kilometers. If it was purely an infantry battle, it would be pretty good to be able to advance into this area in one day.
, a huge gaping hole was opened in the Russian defense line.
Zhang Tingshu felt very comfortable in his heart. The battle was going too smoothly, just like chopping melons and vegetables. The Russians had no ability to resist. If the Fengjun equipped more tanks and more logistics vehicles, he would even be confident.
Break through all the defense lines in one go.
It's just that the Fengjun army was still weak at this time and couldn't do that step. As night fell, the Russians stabilized a little and their counterattack began. Under the night, the huge body of the tank didn't make much difference.
Advantage, on the contrary, it is easier for Russian soldiers to conduct concealed attacks.
The soldiers of the reinforced battalion were all protected around the armored vehicles, guarding against Russian sneak attacks. Gunshots continued to ring out, and the Russian troops who made sneak attacks were killed one after another.
But Fengjun couldn't be perfect. There was a loud bang, and thick smoke billowed out of a tank. As soon as two soldiers rolled out, there was a loud bang, and the tank exploded, and flames shot into the sky. Zhang Tingshu heard it.
With such a sound, I felt something bad in my heart. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please go to m. to read
