Chapter 411 Water has no permanent form, and soldiers have no permanent potential 2
The Soviet heavy artillery position was backed by a small village with dozens of families. In front of, to the left and to the right of the heavy artillery position was a desolate ice field, and in some places facing the sun, there was thick snow.
After all, the Soviet army was fighting at home and knew the nearby terrain well. The position chosen by Major General Olyucher seemed to be flat and not conducive to defense, but it could effectively prevent the enemy's fast-moving troops from attacking, especially to prevent
Tank unit assaults and air raids.
By the spring of 1942, when World War II started, various battlefield assault tactics and battlefield defense tactics had become very mature. An artillery position with a full range of artillery of various calibers was not afraid of the charge of enemy tanks, especially when the enemy was unable to carry out air strikes.
Down.
This is exactly what Major General Olyuher had in mind. Behind the heavy artillery position, there are villages as natural barriers; in front, on the left and right sides, there is a flat wilderness of at least three kilometers. If the Chinese tank troops want to occupy this position, they can only
One way is to attack from the front.
However, the possible attack methods of the Chinese army are beyond what Oluher can imagine.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the sky gradually lowered, and the Far East was about to enter a long night. Behind an ice ridge 5 kilometers away from the Olyukher heavy artillery position, several Chinese soldiers in white trench coats were holding telescopes to observe Su.
Army artillery positions.
"Captain, this bone is hard to chew." A Chinese soldier carrying a lieutenant colonel's epaulets put down his binoculars and said. This lieutenant colonel is Yang Jihe, chief of staff of the 171st Division Chariot Regiment of the National Defense Forces, and the commander he refers to is
It was Zhang Guihua, the leader of the chariot regiment.
"You have to gnaw when it's not easy to gnaw. I have three ideas. Which one do you think is better? One is to request the division headquarters to provide ten minutes of artillery support to attract the Soviet heavy artillery, and we launch an assault; the other is to launch a feint attack and let the
Zhong Yunpeng's reconnaissance battalion launched a surprise attack on the Soviet army from behind the village; third, let Zhong Yunpeng launch an attack to divert the attention of the Soviet army, while we launched a surprise attack."
Zhang Guihua gave three options in one breath.
"Captain, the first item is definitely not possible. This battle has not yet started, how can we ask for artillery support? If this is the case, after the battle is over, won't we be laughed at by those guys in the howitzer regiment!" Yang Jihe said, "The second and
The third option is almost the same. However, captain, if you wait another hour to launch the attack, the effect may be much better."
Waiting for another hour until it becomes completely dark will be more advantageous for the Chinese army that is good at night fighting or is on the offensive side.
He Shaozhou of the 171st Division approved Zhang Guihua's second plan and agreed to launch an attack on the Soviet 36th Artillery Division of Olyukher at 6 p.m.
He Shaozhou received instructions from the Northeastern Front Army and the 17th Group Army. At this time, the Luo Guangwen Department of the 174th Division, the brother army, under the leadership of Wang Weiqing, deputy commander of the group army, had moved to a place about 15 kilometers away from Khabarovsk, while other troops were arriving one after another.
Come here. The main force of the Northeastern Front is expected to move to the designated position around 12 o'clock in the night, thus forming a huge encirclement of the Soviet army in Khabarovsk.
And by that time, the Soviet army outside the city will be like a ripe peach, which will naturally fall into the pocket of the Wehrmacht.
It seems that the Soviet commander, General Alexandrov, also discovered this insidious purpose of the Wehrmacht. He ordered Major Generals Shokurda and Major General Biliashin to charge the Wehrmacht positions with regiment-sized infantry.
The Soviet army's bravery and desperate charge caused great difficulties to the frontal defense of He Shaozhou's division. Two regiments of 6,000 to 7,000 men charged in a group, which looked like a large black mass. Even the Chinese soldiers and equipment in Xiaoxi's frontal defense were
They are advanced, but when facing so many people rushing forward desperately, the troops are also stretched thin.
At this time, the Soviet roundabout troops also arrived near the 75mm field artillery position of the Wehrmacht, posing a serious threat to the Wehrmacht.
"Order: The 3rd Marine Regiment dispatches two battalions to reinforce the rocket launcher battalion position on the left and the field artillery position on the right!"
"Order: All 80 troops of the 1st Marine Regiment and 2nd Marine Regiment move forward near the creek position and provide free artillery fire on the attacking Soviet infantry!"
Soldiers came to stop them, water came and the soil flooded, and the battlefield situation changed rapidly. He Shaozhou decisively issued one order after another.
Although frontline battles are very difficult, this is only because the Wehrmacht usually bullies others. To put it bluntly, the defensive battle at the creek in front of the two villages has become a meat grinder for the Soviet soldiers!
The artillery fire between the two armies in front of their positions was almost evenly matched. The Wehrmacht's defenses had positions and anti-artillery holes, but their positions were relatively fixed. Although the Soviet army had many people and was in a mobile state, it did not have any anti-artillery measures. Judging from the soldiers'
In terms of casualties, the Soviet army lost hundreds or even hundreds of combat forces in every charge. Although the losses of the Wehrmacht were also on the rise, for the 171st Division as a whole, this sacrifice was completely affordable.
of.
The Soviet artillery could not gain an advantage, and the Soviet tanks could not gain an advantage in the face of the Wehrmacht's rifle grenades. The Soviet soldiers' individual weapons had been left behind by the Wehrmacht for several generations.
No head-on confrontation, no long-distance attack, and no more close combat. In the duel between General Alexandrov and Lieutenant General He Yunzhou, the former had almost no winning points.
Two consecutive regimental-scale attacks were repelled, which made General Alexandrov understand the fact: the two armies were attacking, and the Soviet army was no match at all!
When Alexandrov came to this conclusion, he never thought that his own unit was at the group army level, while the Chinese army was only a division-level unit. If any unit directly under Lin Yangchun's 17th Group Army,
For example, if the heavy artillery brigade, armored brigade, rocket launcher brigade or armed helicopter airborne regiment join the 171st Division, Alexandrov will have no choice but to "walk around with nothing to eat".
The fact that the battle or campaign was fought like this, allowing Alexandrov to still have a "chance" to attack the Chinese army, was entirely the result of the Chinese high command wanting to use the Sino-Soviet war to "train troops". I don't know what Alexandrov was doing.
What else do you think?
As a graduate student at the National Defense University in the 21st century, Wu Aihua has conducted in-depth research on the tactics of the US military in later generations. The US military, with its abundant financial resources and powerful equipment, has taken a unique route of elite and powerful troops.
Although the United States in later generations showed off its power in the world and everywhere, its tactics were not necessarily clever. To put it bluntly, those who can use aircraft and battleships to solve battles will never use the army to sacrifice; those who can use artillery shells to eliminate resistance will never use soldiers to charge!
At the end of World War II, the United States' "Leapfrog Tactics" was originally very successful, but when it encountered the Japanese Air Force's "Kamikaze" and Japan's "scorched earth resistance," it immediately dropped two newly developed atomic bombs on Japan.
Completely conquered the Japanese in terms of fighting confidence.
Therefore, having elite and strong troops, rather than winning with numbers and scale, has been Wu Aihua's army-building strategy from the beginning of time travel.
Far East, Khabarovsk. Neither General Alexander Korsayev nor General Alexandrov expected that the Chinese army is so tough and powerful. No matter what tactics they use, China
The National Defense Forces are advancing at their own pace.
Especially General Alexander Korsayev in Khabarovsk was extremely depressed.
He asked General Alexandrov to lead a group army out of the city to confront the Chinese army. Firstly, he wanted to find out the true combat power of the Chinese army. Secondly, he wanted to use this to find out the Chinese army's campaign purpose and even use it to find out.
This disrupts the Chinese offensive and defensive rhythm!
However, the Chinese only used one division of 25,000 troops to pin down Alexandrov's 55,000 troops. Not only were they pinned, but they also caused huge losses to Alexandrov.
From the initial small-scale contact attack to the group charge of regimental-sized infantry, within two hours, the Soviet army actually sacrificed more than 3,000 soldiers of a main regiment, which made General Alexander Korsayev feel very gloomy.
.
How many 55,000 Soviet soldiers were there in Khabarovsk? How many 3,000 soldiers were sacrificed in the offensive and defensive operations with a division-level unit of the Chinese army?
It is learned from intelligence that the Chinese army attacking the Soviet Far East this time has a total of 6 army groups and 30 divisions, 1 armored group army, 1 artillery group army, 1 cavalry corps and 2 air force divisions, with a total strength of 120
More than ten thousand people.
If we only look at the number of people, General Alexander Korsayev is not too worried, because the Chinese army is the attacker after all, and the Chinese army cannot get away with it in the face of the Soviet Union's solid fortifications.
However, the most terrifying thing about the Chinese army is not its numbers, but its powerful equipment and sharp attack capabilities. Powerful artillery, powerful armored assault capabilities, and powerful air force have already been used in the Battle of Blagoveshchensk
It was proved that this medium-sized field offensive and defensive battle on the outskirts of Khabarovsk lasted only two hours, and Comrade General got another proof, that is, the combat effectiveness of ordinary soldiers of the Chinese Army is also far stronger than
Soviet Red Army!
At 6 o'clock in the evening on March 15, there was a sudden roar of motors on the right side of the Olyucher heavy artillery position! Twelve T-12 assault tanks from the 171st Division Tank Regiment of the National Defense Force began to attack the Olyucher heavy artillery position.
Launch a feint attack! At the same time, most of the 171st Division's reconnaissance battalion, led by battalion commander Zhong Yunpeng, lurked behind the small village where Olyucher lived, preparing to assault Major General Olyucher's artillery command post.
The reconnaissance battalion of the National Defense Force, as a division-level unit of the Marine Division of the National Defense Force, has been equipped according to the standards of a "light infantry battalion", but its close combat firepower, assault firepower and soldier quality are far stronger than ordinary marine battalions, plus reconnaissance
Some of the troops' special equipment, even if their heavy firepower is lacking, is not something that ordinary army troops can resist.
"Puff, puff, puff puff..." The first thing to fire was the submachine gun equipped by the reconnaissance camp! Microorganism submachine guns were used by armed police and special forces in close combat and night combat in later generations. They appeared decades ago.
In the parallel time and space, the Soviet artillery guard force was suddenly caught off guard.
