Three hundred and seventieth chapters clever plan to cross the river
The soldier raised his head, looked at the umbrella flower in the air and said, "How do I know? I'm not in the Air Force." Although he didn't get a definite answer, Colonel Kusjak found a person hanging under the umbrella flower, who was obviously shot down.
The pilot of the airplane.
Seeing the parachute slowly floating towards the ground, Colonel Kusjak felt angry. If the Cossack Empire also equipped pilots like them with such equipment, how could he risk his life and choose to make an emergency landing? If there was such equipment,
His pilots could save many lives, but unfortunately he didn't know that the air forces of various countries in the Western Continent didn't even know there was such a thing as a parachute.
The Cossack air force in the air has been completely suppressed, and the artillery on the ground has also been suppressed. The Cossack army can only risk the threat of artillery fire and use its light weapons to shoot at the National Defense Forces who are crossing the river one after another. Seeing the increasing casualties of the soldiers, Cai Tingyuan and
Wang Zhendu frowned.
For the battle of forcibly crossing rivers, no country has any good methods. In the battle, they can only choose to pave the road across the river with flesh and blood. Otherwise, the rivers everywhere will not become natural barriers.
Although it is a common practice in countries all over the world to use the continuous sacrifice of troops to gain the opportunity to cross the river, under the guidance of Fang Xiaoyu, who never sacrifices a soldier in vain, the commanders of the Chinese army are not used to using the death of soldiers to build a bridge.
Victory, seeing that the two battalions as the forward assault had suffered more than half of their casualties, the two commanders immediately stopped crossing the river.
Night had fallen, and Cai Tingyuan and Wang Zhen were sitting in the command post feeling a little worried. After contacting via radio, they learned that crossing the river was not going smoothly at all places, and no attack point could gain enough support on the other side.
"Why don't you make a report and request the use of incendiary bombs?" Cai Tingyuan first thought of the Chinese army's invincible incendiary bombs.
Wang Zhen shook his head and said: "In such a small battle, we only use incendiary bombs. If you want to get scolded by the young master, I think it's better to think of other ways."
Cai Tingyuan sighed and said: "It would be great if the special artillery regiment of the Iron Blood Army was here." The attack of the special artillery regiment on Kyushu Island had already spread among senior officers, and everyone was full of enthusiasm for this special weapon.
I am curious and yearn for its terrifying lethality.
Wang Zhen curled his lips and said: "Forget it, I heard that that weapon can easily cause public outrage in the world and is more likely to be scolded than incendiary bombs."
Cai Tingyuan grabbed his military cap, scratched his head and said: "As long as I can cross the river, I would rather be scolded. The problem is how to cross the river now."
Wang Zhen sighed and said: "It would be great if my chariot could pass through the water."
Upon hearing Wang Zhen's words, Cai Tingyuan suddenly said: "By the way, oil barrels."
As soon as Cai Tingyuan's words came out, Wang Zhen had not yet reacted. He asked: "Oil barrel, what oil barrel?"
Cai Tingyuan said: "Although your tank cannot swim, those empty oil barrels can float on the water. The rubber boats used by the soldiers will leak when they are hit, but those empty oil barrels will not. Let's collect more
Oil barrels can be tied into a large raft to cross the river, so that machine gun fire can be mounted on it, which can completely suppress the Cossacks on the other side of the river."
"That's right." Wang Zhen slapped his thigh and said, "What a good idea. I'll collect the empty oil drums and let's sneak across at night."
The National Defense Forces quickly made careful preparations. They tied dozens of large oil drums together, connected them to wooden frames, and then laid out wide wooden boards, and a quite large raft was ready. Water flow in the Lena River
It was small, and the Wehrmacht soldiers were not afraid that the raft would be overturned by the current because it was too heavy. On the contrary, the raft was big enough, and they even carried infantry cannons on it.
After organizing the manpower, a regiment of soldiers began to cross the river again. In order not to alert the other party, no artillery preparations were made this time. A group of infantry soldiers set up machine guns and mortars, and quietly slid the huge raft slowly toward the other side.
Go slowly.
The raft gradually approached the other side, and the Cossack position was getting closer and closer. The sound of the soldiers' wooden oars entering the water quickly alerted the Cossacks. Some Cossack soldiers immediately turned on their searchlights to shine. Under the bright light, the raft on the river surface
Exposed.
Fierce gunfire rang out again, and the Cossacks began to shoot desperately at the river. The machine guns on several rafts fired at the same time, quickly extinguishing the other party's searchlights. However, the illegal crossing had been exposed, and the only option was to force the crossing. On the raft
The firepower was full, intensive machine gun fire was strafing the other side, and mortar shells fell one after another on the Cossacks' position, making them unable to concentrate on shooting.
The raft was not far from the other shore. With a small vibration, the raft had lightly hit the soil on the shore. Several soldiers jumped into the knee-deep water and fixed the raft to the shore. The soldiers behind immediately
He jumped ashore and charged into the Cossacks' position with his bayonet-mounted rifle.
The Cossacks' trenches were right next to the river. When the Wehrmacht soldiers jumped into the trenches, the Cossacks who were shooting at the river turned their guns one after another, but before they could pull the bolt, load the next bullet and carry their semi-automatic rifles.
The Wehrmacht soldiers shot down these Cossacks one after another.
The powerful firepower took advantage of the close combat, and the squad leaders carrying Type 03 submachine guns showed off their skills. Under their intensive fire, the Cossack soldiers in the trenches fell to the ground one after another. Although there were only a few hundred soldiers ashore, they were very
A section of the river bank was soon controlled.
"The artillery fire cover, the follow-up troops continue to attack." Seeing the flash of fire and the chaos of people on the other side, Cai Tingyuan knew that he had succeeded. He immediately ordered the follow-up troops to row on rubber boats to support. It was difficult for the Cossacks in the darkness to find the target, and
The Wehrmacht soldiers with rapid-fire weapons were able to create a local advantage within a short distance, and the Cossacks gradually retreated.
Without the firepower on the river bank, a large number of rubber boats successfully crossed the river. More and more soldiers rushed to the river bank. As many infantry artillery were transported across the river on rafts, the National Defense Forces' river-crossing troops bombarded the retreating troops with superior firepower.
Some of the Cossack soldiers on the second line of defense formed small groups and boldly penetrated into the deep areas, causing chaos in the entire Cossack position.
At this time, the Cossacks were completely confused. They didn't know where the enemy was or where to shoot. They only felt that bullets were flying in all directions and the threat of death was everywhere. Shells fell one after another.
There were explosions all around, and bullets shot through the chests of teammates. All this finally frightened the tough Cossack soldiers, and they could only gradually retreat away from the contact with the Wehrmacht.
The artillerymen of the Chinese Army were firing rapidly. Relying on the rulers measured during the day, the artillerymen at all levels fired artillery shells at the Cossacks' positions desperately, covering the entire opponent's position in a flame.
During the melee, daylight soon dawned. After daylight, the Wehrmacht quickly built a pontoon bridge using those large rafts. The troops quickly crossed the river and quickly broke through the Cossack army's defense line.
After a breakthrough, Wang Zhen and Cai Tingyuan quickly sent troops to the two wings to support the friendly forces in crossing the river. The Cossack Army's riverside defense line was defeated, and hundreds of thousands of defense troops quickly crossed the Lena River.
The fast-moving Wehrmacht did not give the opponent a chance. Under the rapid in-depth assault, the 400,000 Cossacks who had no time to completely evacuate the defense line were surrounded in the city of Yakutsk.
The central part of the Lena River defense line was lost, but this did not completely shake the Cossacks' defense line. On the contrary, this place became a dangerous protrusion. If the Chinese army cannot capture the city of Yakutsk as soon as possible, the troops that have crossed the river are likely to be
Rush down to the river.
Facing the Cossack reinforcements rushing up from all directions, the Chinese army not only had to attack the city, but also divided its forces to block the Cossack reinforcements. The battle was extremely fierce.
The Eighteenth Army of the Wehrmacht was in a hilly area at the southern foot of the Verkhyansk Mountains, blocking the attack of the five Cossack armies. Since the air forces of both sides were concentrated in the Yakutsk area, both sides broke out on various blocking battlefields.
Pure land war.
The sound of booming explosions was endless. The soldiers of the 18th Army stood on the only road leading to the city of Yakutsk against the opponent's superior artillery attack. The hills on both sides of the road became the focus of the competition between the two sides. Although
The firepower configuration of the Cossack Army is lower than that of the Wehrmacht, but after all, the opponent has five corps. After concentrated use of artillery, it is still many times more powerful than one corps of the Wehrmacht.
The Cossack army covered the entire high ground with intensive artillery fire, and the artillery of the Wehrmacht was not to be outdone. They used anti-slope positions to launch a counterattack with howitzers and mortars. Groups of Cossack soldiers charged with rifles and were blown to pieces.
On the dusty high ground, Captain Huo Jiucheng climbed out of the mound with difficulty. He had just been buried by the mud kicked up by Cossack artillery.
Looking at the smoke and dust around him, he shouted loudly: "Get ready to fight, the enemy is coming up soon." Hearing the deputy battalion commander's shout, the soldiers hiding in the anti-gun holes entered the position one after another, and some who were holding on to the position
The soldiers also crawled out of the mound and found their weapons. Then all the soldiers took out their engineering shovels and dug up the trenches that were already half shallow. The artillery fire just now had cut off a layer of the entire position.
"The enemy is coming, fire quickly, fire." Battalion Commander Guo Cheng shouted loudly, waving the Beretta pistol in his hand. After hearing the order, all the soldiers immediately dropped their engineer shovels, picked up their weapons, and fired with machine gun fire.
He quickly covered a large area in front of the position and knocked down a few Cossack soldiers who had just straightened up. Upon seeing this, the other Cossack soldiers immediately lay down on the ground and started shooting desperately.
The two sides launched a fierce exchange of fire. In the end, the small weapons of the Wehrmacht were superior. Although the Cossacks were large in number, they were crowded in the small area around the small highland. No matter how many troops were deployed, they could not spread out. There were eight Wehrmacht troops in the nearby area.
Fierce battles were taking place in the small highlands under our control.
