"Machine gun cover -" the Soviet commander's response was not slow.
"Da da da..." The Soviet machine guns began to fire at our position.
Among our soldiers who were shooting slowly, some were immediately shot and wounded. The training level of the soldiers at the grassroots level of the Soviet Russian army was still very high. Otherwise, they would not have won the final victory in World War II.
"Grenade, attack!" Xu Weinong commanded calmly.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Seeing the enemy's machine gun fire, the three best-positioned grenade guns were already ready. As soon as Xu Weinong finished speaking, the grenades were fired.
"Boom -" As the grenade exploded, the Russian machine gun immediately went silent. However, less than half a minute later, two more machine guns suddenly roared, and the Wehrmacht soldiers were once again suppressed and unable to raise their heads.
"Machine gun, fight back!" When Xu Weinong saw that the soldiers were suppressed, he immediately launched new firepower. No matter what, he could not be suppressed and beaten by the Russian devils.
While Tielek was playing ping-pong, Wu Aihua also received a report on the exchange of fire between the Chinese and Russian armies on the northwest front. At the same time, the Soviet Union's diplomatic statement of "catching thieves" was also sent to Wu Aihua's desk.
"According to our army's established strategy, resolutely counterattack!" Wu Aihua knew at this time that the front line must be waiting for instructions from the headquarters, and immediately issued the order.
"What is the Soviet Union going to do?" At the urgent military meeting of the headquarters, everyone was full of such questions. Because at this time, the Soviet Union was in an inseparable fight with Finland. It stands to reason that even if it wants to use troops against China, it would be totally unreasonable.
You can wait until the Winter War is over before taking action.
Is it to test the bottom line of the Chinese government? Or to test the combat effectiveness of our army? Even if the top smart people attending the military meeting are of this era, they can't think of a reason for Soviet Russia to launch a provocation at this time.
"Report, a Soviet tank division and about two army divisions are rushing towards our Tierlek frontline position! We are still about 30 kilometers away from our most forward position." While everyone was analyzing the reasons for the Soviet Union's action, there was another incident ahead.
New developments have emerged.
"Let Zhang Binxian and the air force resolutely push back the Soviet troops! They must not be allowed to cross our positions!" Wu Aihua immediately ordered.
"Commander-in-Chief, are we making a big move for Soviet Russia?" Deputy Commander-in-Chief He Yingqin said while gesturing in front of a huge map of Xinjiang, "This is the Turgat Pass, and our 8th Division of the 2nd Armored Corps can pass through it.
Mayila goes straight into the Torgat Pass along the northern border, while the 3rd Division of the 22nd Army can start from Kangsu, go around the southwest of Tielek, and meet up with the 8th Tank Division at the Turgat Pass.
Completely surround the three Russian divisions."
"Commander-in-Chief, I think it's feasible. There are 22nd Group's independent tank brigade, heavy artillery brigade and 224th Division in the Tielek front position. It won't be a problem to hold the position." Deputy Commander-in-Chief Xia Zhongqing also said happily.
"Everyone, you are about to fight. Have you forgotten the commander-in-chief's established strategy?" Chief of General Staff Jiang Baili reminded.
"Haha, we are just talking about tactics. As for whether to fight and to what extent, it is up to the commander-in-chief to decide." He Yingqin said with a smile.
At this time, although Germany had solved Poland, its military front had not yet been directed at Sweden, Denmark and other Western European countries. There were still certain variables in World War II. If China had a large-scale conflict with the Soviet Union at this time, what would be the consequences?
?
The most likely consequence is that China and Soviet Russia will fight to the death! And this consequence is exactly what China does not want to happen. At this time, there is little chance of winning in a head-on fight with Soviet Russia. Although China's troops have suddenly expanded to more than 5 million,
But at least half of the soldiers had never been on the battlefield, while Soviet Russia had at least 6 million troops. Even if China finally won, it would be a tragic victory. This was not in China's interests.
In addition, China and Russia are at war with each other, which just benefits Germany.
The most important thing is that China's economy has just started to develop, and its comprehensive national strength and war potential are far inferior to those of Soviet Russia at this time. If China is given another two years, the situation will change dramatically.
"Fight! Jingzhi's tactics are feasible, but please note that our overall principle for this battle is limited counterattack. We can only fight this battle as an individual battle, not a full-scale war!"
After thinking for a long time, Wu Aihua made up his mind.
It is good to compete with Soviet Russia. You can see the effect of the reorganization of the troops and test the new equipment. The most important thing is that Wu Aihua analyzed the psychology of Soviet Russia. The Soviet Union's battle is mostly "testing". If China is timid,
war, it is very likely to be "blackmailed" by Soviet Russia. Because Soviet Russia is also not ready for a full-scale war.
Even attacking Finland, which has a population of several million, seems very difficult, so how can it be possible to start a full-scale war with China? Even if the bearded man is a lunatic, there must be some people in Soviet Russia who are sane.
Tielek front line. A Soviet battalion, with a company as a combat unit, continuously attacked 3 regiments of our 224th Division (it was a clerical error to write 5 regiments in the previous chapter. A division does have 5 regiments, but there are only 3 marine regiments, and the other two are
The tank regiment and the howitzer regiment) launched a charge, but they were all beaten down by the 2nd Battalion and 3rd Company of our 3rd Regiment. Although our army also suffered casualties, and the trenches and the like were blown into a mess, compared with the Russian casualties, they were just
Much smaller.
At 11:30 a.m., 24 T-26 tanks from the Forward Battalion of the Soviet Tank Division arrived at the front line and immediately launched a charge against our army's position in Tielek. However, although the northwest Gobi seems to be very suitable for tank breakthroughs, the vicinity of Tielek is not
It is a valley, which is not conducive to the advancement of large-scale tank troops. No matter how many tanks the Russian army has, they can only attack in four columns at most, because the width of this valley is only about a hundred meters.
In the past, it was the tank troops of the Wehrmacht that fought against the Japanese. Now, the Soviet tank troops have finally arrived. Is the Wehrmacht an opponent?
Because the battle has been going on for more than two hours, Lai Weixian, commander of the 224th Division, has set up a forward command post in a small valley about 5 kilometers behind the forward position. The 224th tank regiment and howitzer regiment have also moved to the front line, ready to attack the Soviet Union at any time.
The army launched a counterattack.
However, the problem encountered by the Chinese army is exactly the same as that of the Soviet Union. In order to counterattack, only a few tanks can advance forward in columns. In the final analysis, this is a narrow terrain that is not conducive to attack.
Of course, it would be good to implement a roundabout encirclement, but that would require a circle of hundreds of kilometers or even farther.
"Grenade gun, prepare armor-piercing shells and incendiary bombs!" At the Tierek forward position, He Chaoyuan, commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment, saw the Soviet tanks coming up and immediately issued an order to the grenade gun team in the trench.
Although the trenches were completely blown up by Soviet artillery fire, they were basically still usable. In the ice and snow season, the soil was very hard due to the ice. Although the Soviet artillery fire was powerful, it did not cause much damage to the lower layers of the trenches.
The upper layer of the building was badly damaged by the explosion. Each soldier of the National Defense Force had an ordnance shovel, so they could be repaired very quickly.
Due to the terrain, there are still only about one platoon of troops in the trenches, but the strength of the grenade gun team has been strengthened. Each platoon only has 4 grenade guns, but He Chaoyuan transferred a company with a total of 12 Type 39 grenade guns. In addition,
That's half a company with a total of 6 mg42 squad machine guns.
300 meters behind the trench, He Chaoyuan lined up the entire battalion's 16 80mm mortars and prepared a mortar position.
About 500 meters further to the rear is the 75mm mountain gun position of the 3rd Regiment. The entire regiment's 16 75mm mountain guns are ready to support the frontline battle. As for the 224th Division's tank regiment and howitzer regiment, they are all deployed 2 kilometers away from the forward position.
Of course, this is not the firepower that He Chaoyuan can command. A small battalion commander can only make tactical arrangements with the maximum firepower and combat power of the battalion level.
"Rumble, rumble..." The Soviet T-26 tank is steadily pushing towards our position, getting closer and closer.
"Boom, boom, boom..." Just when our soldiers were preparing to use armor-piercing bombs and incendiary bombs to deal with the Soviet tanks, the Soviet Russian artillery shelled our positions again.
"Report, enemy artillery coordinates are 191,377, various types of 100mm infantry guns! Size 32!" When the Soviet artillery fired again, our forward position artillery observer finally accurately measured the number of enemy artillery.
"Every gun is ready, bearing: point 63, elevation angle 48, fire in one minute!" The 105mm Howitzer Regiment of the 224th Division, which obtained the accurate position of the Soviet artillery, immediately entered combat mode.
During the reorganization and refitting of the troops, except for the mg42 squad machine gun, which was equipped according to the original scale, other equipment has been changed. The grenade gun has become the main support firepower of the company and platoon, and only the company-level troops have arranged a four-piece 80mm mortar.
Mortar platoon; the original battalion-level firepower, the mountain artillery battery was cancelled, and transformed into a mortar battery of 16 80mm mortars; the regiment-level firepower maintained a 16-gun mountain artillery battalion (the scale was smaller, and the ammunition reserve was larger
richer), the 105 howitzer was cancelled; as for division-level firepower, a howitzer regiment was mainly arranged. Of course, the tank regiment and rocket launcher battalion must also be maintained.
"Boom, boom, boom -" A minute later, our 224th Division Howitzer Regiment began to pour ammunition at the Soviet artillery position.
"Boom, boom, boom -" Five minutes later, another Russian artillery group suddenly flew shells towards our howitzer position!
"Damn it, hurry up, retreat -" the howitzer regiment leader shouted anxiously, this Russian devil is indeed cunning and cunning.
"Look, our plane!" The soldiers of the 3rd Regiment ambushing in the valley suddenly sent out a group of fighter jets in the sky, roaring towards the front of the valley.
If there is one piece of equipment of the Wehrmacht that is absolutely ahead of its time, then it is the Wehrmacht’s combat aircraft. This type of combat aircraft from the 1945s is far beyond what aircraft from other countries could handle in the early days of World War II.
The Japanese army was rapidly defeated in East China, mainly due to the high-intensity bombing by the Wehrmacht Air Force. Not only did it lose its air superiority, but it also lost almost all its heavy weapons and armored forces on the ground.
How could we not use the powerful weapon of the Air Force to fight against the Soviet Union?
