Chapter 396 Hailanpao, the beginning of complexity 2
Although Heilongjiang has a wide river surface, it is in the freezing period from early November to the end of April or even early May of the following year. Trucks and light tanks can pass safely. In addition, the terrain on both sides of Hailanpao is flat. Although the Soviet Union army built
There are permanent fortifications, but this war is also difficult to fight.
However, it is not easy for the National Defense Forces to easily attack the other side.
After several years of training in the National Defense Forces, Guan Linzheng not only had a steady, accurate and ruthless fighting style, but also learned to be cunning, cunning and as cunning as a fox. After returning to the group army station after holding a combat meeting in the afternoon of the previous day, Guan Linzheng immediately ordered the group army to conduct special operations
The regiment gathered experts from the reconnaissance battalions of each division to form dozens of platoon-level reconnaissance units to conduct reconnaissance across the river.
At the same time, an equal number of company and platoon-level troops were also organized to approach the Soviet positions for containment and cover. A few reconnaissance troops were discovered, but with the help of their own powerful firepower and cover troops, most of them were able to escape intact.
, but most of the reconnaissance troops crossed the Soviet defense line and penetrated into the Soviet army to a depth of tens of kilometers.
At 8 o'clock in the morning on March 12, on the south bank of Heilongjiang, Guan Lin mobilized the 5th Heavy Artillery Brigade, the 5th Rocket Artillery Brigade, and 5 howitzer regiments and 5 rocket launcher battalions of the entire group army, totaling 108 150mm cannons, 540 108mm howitzers, and 112
A 24-barreled 100mm rocket launcher fired violently at the other side!
Among them, the 108 150mm cannons of the heavy artillery brigade focused on taking care of the two Soviet artillery regiment positions hidden behind the third-line position. Each gun of the heavy artillery brigade only fired 10 rounds. The forward reconnaissance team reported that the Soviet artillery positions had been occupied.
destroy!
The shelling targets of the five howitzer regiments were two Soviet tank divisions. Although these two tank divisions only had about 420 old tanks, their lethality against infantry was still very terrifying, even if they were compared with the Wehrmacht's "t
Compared with the -12" assault tank, its combat power is half that of an assault tank, so it cannot be allowed to survive. More importantly, troops like tank divisions are very mobile. Once the situation is not right, they will attack the Soviet Union.
The Russian rear retreat has become a remaining problem.
The 112 24-tube 100mm rocket launchers focus on taking care of the forefront positions of Soviet Russia. Although the fortifications of the Soviet Red Army are very strong, 112 "Dragon Flame 2" rocket launchers fire at the same time, which is equivalent to 2688 100mm caliber artillery.
Intensive shelling, and direct artillery shelling. Therefore, although the Soviet fortifications were basically intact, the soldiers inside the fortifications were in great danger, because out of 2,688 shells, there were always dozens of shells that were very lucky, or shot into the Soviet Union.
The internal explosion of the military fortification may have penetrated the exit and roof of the Soviet military fortification. The most important thing is that the "Dragon Flame Type 2" did not only fire one round, but fired "Boom Boom" at a rate of one round per minute.
"Bombardment" continued the bombardment for an hour.
As the supreme commander of the Hailanpao defense line, General Busika Veliuski, commander of the 7th Army of the Soviet Far Eastern Front, has fully evaluated the defensive capabilities of the Hailanpao fortifications along the river. In his opinion, this kind of defense based on
A 230mm artillery shell can directly hit a fortification that requires three rounds to collapse. It is almost indestructible. Even if China has a 230mm artillery, it will have to be lucky to destroy so many permanent fortifications. Therefore, Admiral Busicavelliu
I was so relieved that I was still lying in a warm bed dreaming before the bombardment started.
Busicavelliu's judgment is very correct. Firstly, China does not have that many heavy artillery with a caliber above 230mm. Secondly, even if it has so many heavy artillery, it still depends on luck. After all, the distance from the frontier fortifications to the other side of the river is about 10 or so.
Kilometers, it is impossible for Chinese artillery to reach close range for bombardment, so its power and accuracy will be greatly reduced.
One thing that is particularly noteworthy is that although the Heilongjiang River can be overloaded with heavy trucks or light tanks at this time, the ice in Heilongjiang cannot bear the tanks firing on the opposite bank on the ice, let alone the driving and firing of heavy artillery.
In this sense, Hailanpao is really as stable as Mount Tai. Unless the Chinese people take some measures, there is no way to cross the natural gap in Heilongjiang.
In fact, the Chinese army is not without options. China's artillery shells include an armor-piercing projectile designed to deal with permanent fortifications, and Air Force bombers can also be used to carry out targeted bombing.
However, the war has just begun, and Guan Linzheng's 5th Army has never thought about actually destroying the Soviet permanent fortifications, because that would be a waste of artillery shells. In addition to the heavy artillery brigade and 5 howitzer regiments having clear goals of annihilating the enemy,
The rocket artillery brigade and the five rocket artillery battalions conducted artillery attacks mainly to attack light targets on the ground, such as trenches, telephone lines, guard posts, anti-tank gun positions, machine gun positions, etc. The Soviet army could not and would not use all its firepower
and personnel were concentrated into permanent fortifications.
However, as soon as China's artillery bombardment began, the Soviet army suffered a devastating blow. The artillery positions were gone, as were most of the two tank divisions, and only less than 50 tanks escaped.
After receiving this news, General Busika Veliuski was helpless!
At 8:30, the 5th Army began to move infantry across the Heilongjiang River.
The ice on the river is very slippery, and it is impossible to charge directly on it, because it is impossible to stop and shoot. It is also impossible to charge in an armored personnel carrier, because only one anti-tank shell can be used in the opponent's permanent fortifications.
The armored personnel carriers must be reimbursed. Besides, the Soviet army's permanent fortifications must have artillery with a caliber of 100 mm or more. Just one shot can blow a hole in the ice in the river. If the armored vehicle cannot brake in time, it may fall into the river.
.
However, how can this difficulty defeat Chinese soldiers?
As early as a month ago, the Northeast Front Army brainstormed and invented a crawler that can slide forward on the ice relying on human power. This crawler is about 3.5 meters long and 2.1 meters wide. There is a piece on the long side.
The armored baffle, about 1.5 meters high, can protect against heavy machine gun fire. There are some shooting brackets and shooting holes on the baffle, which can accommodate 1 squad machine gun, 1 sniper rifle, a grenade gun and 1 assault rifle.
Shoot outwards at the same time. Some people have already guessed that this is actually an "earth tank", which can be used by a squad of soldiers to attack and move forward. Four people are half-kneeling on the crawler and firing, and 1-2 soldiers are responsible for guarding.
With observation, 4-6 people are on the ice trying to push forward.
The 5th Army made a total of 400 such climbing vehicles, which means that 400 squads and 4,800 people can move to the other side at one time.
However, Guan Linzheng was not like this. For the first time, he only used 100 crawlers to advance on the 5-kilometer-wide river. On average, there was a crawler charging forward every 50 meters.
At 8:40, the rocket launcher commander began to replace 10 of the "Dragon Flame 2" rocket launchers with a new type of incendiary bomb. Even if this type of incendiary bomb explodes in the water, it will form a flame on the water, and
The local temperature in the burning center can be as high as 1,000 degrees, and ordinary reinforced concrete fortifications cannot block the attack of this new type of incendiary bomb.
However, this new type of incendiary bomb is very expensive. Currently, the 5th Independent Rocket Artillery Brigade is only allocated 1,000 such shells. This kind of shells has an absolutely destructive effect on enemy fortifications. When the blazing and high-temperature flames surround the surface of the fortifications,
When burning, the temperature inside the fortification will soon rise to over 80 degrees. If there is no special passage in the fortification, the soldiers will lose their ability to resist within 1 minute, and will become a veritable roasted milk within 3 minutes.
pig!
At 8:50, 97 of the 100 crawlers had crossed the center of the Heilongjiang River and slid steadily towards the other side. The three that had not crossed over were hit by Soviet artillery and scattered into a pile of steel and wood.
, 7 Chinese soldiers died and 12 were injured; but the surviving soldiers dragged their comrades and began to slide back towards the Chinese position.
Naturally, the Soviet fortifications that fired artillery shells were immediately accurately bombarded by a rocket launcher loaded with new incendiary bombs.
In the telescope of the division commander of our army, a raging fire burned on the surface of the Soviet permanent fortification. After burning for 5 minutes, the so-called permanent fortification of the Soviet army collapsed inward.
"Oh my God! What kind of artillery shell is this? It's so powerful!" an infantry regiment leader said with emotion, patting his chest.
"I heard from people in the Rocket Artillery Brigade that this is a new type of incendiary bomb. Its full name seems to be 'high calorific value adhesive incendiary bomb'. Whether it is a fortification or a tank, as long as it is stuck to its flames, it will basically
It will turn into a puddle of mud." Another group leader said.
"Ah, then if we all use this kind of artillery shells, what else will the Soviets do?" A person next to him answered.
"You think it's a cabbage on the street. I heard that one shell is worth this amount." The leader of the group who broke the news gestured with one finger.
"10 yuan?" the man asked.
"1,000 yuan! You really think it's Chinese cabbage!" the group leader who broke the news said sarcastically.
"Look, our soldiers have landed!" At this time, the surrounding "observers" shouted.
Sure enough, through the telescope, more than 10 climbing vehicles were seen to have been pushed aside, while hundreds of soldiers were using the shelters on the river bank to rush towards the Soviet fortifications.
"Hurry, the Chinese are coming, fight them back!" Inside the Soviet forward fortifications, a Soviet major shouted, waving a pistol.
"Battal Commander, it's not easy to fight. Look, their trajectory doesn't give us a chance to aim and shoot." A Soviet machine gunner said helplessly.
"Petrov, take your company and go with me to deal with the Chinese. Otherwise, when the Chinese gain a firm foothold, we will all have to deal with it here!" The battalion commander major is considered an excellent commander.
, it sees dangers ahead.
"Yes, Comrade Major Sergeilov!" Petrov saluted and immediately went to inform his company.
However, the sense of urgency of the Soviet major and battalion commander no longer worked. In about two minutes, the Chinese National Defense Forces soldiers who were the first to land had already set up their Type 39 grenade guns.
