Chapter 405 The Beginning of Hailanpao's Revenge 11
Chapter 405 Hailanpao, the beginning of revenge 11
The rockets streaked across the dusk sky like streaks of light, like meteors, making the battlefield extremely bright. When the Soviet tank crews saw so many meteors flying towards them, the timid guys were frightened.
The operation failed. But no matter how brave or timid you are, you can only watch helplessly as those meteors fall on the front, rear, left and right of the tank, exploding into clouds of fire, and then forming a sea of fire!
The full name of this kind of rocket is "rocket incendiary bomb". As long as it explodes, it can form a sea of fire, which can block the enemy's charge and cause huge damage to the enemy. In addition, it also has a special deterrent effect. You need to know
, the sea of fire formed by this kind of incendiary bomb is completely different from the sea of fire formed by the burning of ordinary natural objects. The temperature of the latter is much smaller, and it is easy to extinguish it with water or soil. However, the sea of fire formed by the incendiary bomb is a chemical
Matter, if it is not allowed to burn out, will never be extinguished.
Of course, this kind of rocket incendiary bomb is just an ordinary incendiary bomb, not the high-temperature adhesion type incendiary bomb. The cost is too high, and the rocket artillery battalion is reluctant to use it unless it is a last resort.
The area where the Soviet tanks were located became a sea of fire, temporarily separating the group of Soviet soldiers rushing at the front. At this time, our three tank regiments, which were lined up behind the 1st and 2nd regiments of the 053 Division, began to rumble.
The motor, under the illumination of the rolling flares, began to charge towards the Soviet infantry array. "Click, click, click..." Nearly 300 tanks and nearly 300 machine guns roared on the position, suddenly causing thousands of Soviet troops to
The soldiers have nowhere to hide.
"Kneel down half-kneeling and raise your gun. If you surrender your gun, you won't kill!" From time to time, the sound of a trumpet in Russian was heard from each tank charging team.
"Kneel down half-kneeling and raise your gun, surrender your gun without killing!" The trumpet sounded extremely loud, passing through the sky above the position and echoing in the hearts of every Soviet soldier.
How could the charging Soviet soldiers be a match for the steel behemoth with only rifles and machine guns? Faced with the huge gap in strength, some Soviet soldiers began to kneel down with their guns raised. Being alive is better than dead!
If there is one, then there are two. With one person taking the lead, others can follow suit. Within a few minutes, thousands of surrendered Soviet soldiers knelt down!
The two marine regiments following the tank immediately detached a part of their troops to take in the prisoners, while the rest of the large troops continued to charge forward with the tank troops!
The time calculated by the tank regiment was very accurate. When their wheels reached the outer edge of the sea of fire, the sea of fire ignited by rocket incendiary bombs was extinguished instantly. In this way, the tank regiment rushed through the remaining Soviet tanks almost non-stop. For
The tanks that could still move were immediately blasted with one shot.
At the same time, the artillery battalions of each marine regiment and the howitzer regiments of each division also followed closely behind the tank troops to provide timely support to the tank troops.
Tanks, even T-24 tanks, are afraid of intensive fire from enemy large-caliber artillery, and of course they are even more afraid of direct-fire artillery of 57mm or above.
The Soviet army used two divisions of mobile troops and the last tank to launch this battlefield assault, but it was disintegrated by the Wehrmacht in an understatement. The two divisions of the Soviet army only had about 23,000 infantrymen. In the first round of the charge, at least
Between 4,000 and 5,000 people were lost. Under the coordinated operations of Wehrmacht tanks, infantry, and artillery, the remaining soldiers were defeated even after a slight resistance and retreated back one after another.
"Order the troops to keep up and quickly expand the results!" Both the commanders of the 051 Division and the 054 Division issued extremely correct orders. Wang Yuanji, the deputy commander of the 051 Division, even led one of his marine regiments forward on an armored personnel carrier.
, and at the same time assume the task of real-time command on the battlefield. As a major general and deputy division commander, it is difficult to find this kind of opportunity to charge with the soldiers.
Aren't they afraid that the Soviet army has prepared a trap for them? What's there to be afraid of? With three tank regiments, two infantry regiments, plus three artillery regiments and six artillery battalions, the strength alone reaches 35,000.
If there were more than 100,000 people, what kind of trap would the Soviet Union have? Could it be that he could also set up a trap with 100,000 people?
The Soviet army only has a total of 110,000 people. The artillery force and air force have been almost wiped out. Its army soldiers lost at least 20,000 people in a day's strong attack by the Wehrmacht, plus the 23,000 people of the two army divisions that had just broken through.
, even if the Soviet army abandoned all its positions outside the city and huddled into Hailanpao City, it would only be about 40,000 strong at most.
Up to this point in the Battle of Hailanpao, there is basically no suspense. After breaking through the three front lines of defense of the Soviet army, the city of Hailanpao is like a naked girl, a ripe fruit, which requires a lot of effort.
If General Busika Veliuski adopts the suggestion of political commissar Lieutenant General Bob Lodewitch and launches a counterattack against the Wehrmacht when the Wehrmacht's foothold is not stable, it will be equally unlikely to succeed. First, if the Soviet army launches an attack of tens of thousands of people,
In the event of a charge, the powerful artillery group of the National Defense Force stationed on the south bank of the Heilongjiang River can provide timely fire support to the troops crossing the river; secondly, if the number of people charging is small, the fight will also be like this, and it will be a waste of the Soviet army.
Third, if the battlefield situation is really uncontrollable, the National Defense Forces can also dispatch the 5th Helicopter Airborne Regiment. The Soviet Army currently has no way to restrain that sharp weapon. As long as it does not fly directly over the Soviet anti-aircraft artillery cluster, the Helicopter Airborne Regiment is
safe.
Therefore, whether we fight according to Busika Veliuski's ideas or according to Bob Lodovich's ideas, the defeat of the Soviet Hailanpao Group is inevitable.
"Commander, our army has broken through the enemy's third line of defense and is following the Soviet army to attack Hailanpao City!" Chief of Staff Qi Guiqiu reported the progress of the battle at any time.
"Okay! Order each division to quickly establish a Jiangbei command center and trap the enemy in Hailan Pao. In addition, order the 052nd Division and the 055th Division to immediately converge on me and cross the Heihe River." Guan Linzheng issued two consecutive announcements
Order!
"Commander, can you let the 052nd Division and the 055th Division cross the river where they are?" Liu Guiqiu suggested. Because it is not worthwhile for a division's troops to travel 20 kilometers in the dark.
"No, if they cross the river at the same place, they will still suffer some losses. This kind of loss is not worth it. If they hurry up and work hard, they can save the lives of dozens or hundreds of soldiers, so why not do it?
Besides, there is no fighting tonight! They can have a good rest after crossing the Heihe River."
"Yes, Commander." Liu Guiqiu never thought that Commander Guan, the man known as "Shaanxi Lengwa", would have such a delicate side. Indeed, after the Hailanpao defense line was breached, the Soviet troops in other villages and towns had already
If this is not a problem, armored troops will be sent along the road to accept the surrender at dawn tomorrow. If they refuse to surrender, they will be destroyed immediately.
Here I want to talk about the issue of permanent fortifications. No matter what kind of fortification, it has one or three sides facing the enemy. If it is attacked from its defensive front, this is very beneficial to defense and not conducive to offense. However, defensive fortifications
There is always one side where the defense is extremely weak and almost undefended. For example, the famous Maginot Line is very troublesome if Germany attacks it from the front. But if Germany bypasses the Maginot Line from the side and then attacks the Maginot Line
, that would be quite easy. First, the defense focus of this line of defense is not on the rear, and second, the enemy has already moved around to the rear, which is a serious blow to the morale of the soldiers.
Starting from the afternoon of the 12th, General Busika Veliuski continued to send reports to the Far Eastern Front and the Moscow base camp, saying that the Chinese attack was too fierce and asking for additional reinforcements. Later, the commander of the Far Eastern Front Alexander Korsaye
General Fu was annoyed and called back directly: "Now, I don't have a mobile unit to support you. If you really need it, I can personally come to support you!"
The phone call from the base camp was very simple, direct and straightforward: "Hold, hold on firmly!" "Counterattack, fight back on the invaders resolutely!"
In fact, how could General Busika Veliuski not know the situation on the battlefield? Even if there were reinforcements, it would take several days or even months, because at noon, he received the battle report from the front army. China
The Air Force's bombers taking off from Mongolia have already destroyed the Soviet-Russian Far East Railway and are still destroying bridges along the way. Just imagine, under such circumstances, how could there be reinforcements!
At 10 o'clock in the evening, Busika Veliuski, who was considering a way out, suddenly received two letters from the orderlies. One was a letter of persuasion from the Chinese army to surrender, and the other was a notice that the Chinese army was about to launch a general offensive!
At this time, he learned that the Chinese army opposite was the 5th Army of the Chinese National Defense Forces, and its commander Guan Linzheng was also a general (three-star).
"Who sent these two letters?" The letter was very short, and Busikaveliuski read it in a few minutes.
"A Chinese living in Hailanpao," the orderly said.
"Is he gone?" Busica asked.
"No."
"Let him come in and I'll ask him." Busica thought for a while and said.
After a while, the Chinese who delivered the letter came to Busica's office. When Busica saw that he was an ordinary Chinese, he said, "I can shoot you immediately!" Busica threatened.
"Please listen to me, this is your right." The Chinese looked into Busica's eyes and showed no timidity at all.
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Busica's voice was a little cold. It really surprised him that an ordinary Chinese could be neither humble nor arrogant in front of him.
"I'm afraid. However, since 1858, too many Chinese people have died in Hailanpao. If I die, it won't matter." By coming here to deliver the letter, he has already made up his mind to die.
"Okay, I won't embarrass you. I want to ask, how are you going to arrange for me?" Busikavelewski asked. Originally, he was just asking casually, but unexpectedly he asked a shocking secret.
"If you want to live an ordinary life, the Chinese government will guarantee your personal interests; if your family is in the Far East, you can also let your family live with you, but you have to move to China; if you still
If you want to join the army, there is a Russian Free Army recruiting soldiers and officers, and I think you can get what you want from them."
