The situation that the Moon Army expected to be able to stop, or at least delay, the Red Army's offensive did not appear.
The leader's infantry and tanks, which came all the way to cover up the enemy, coordinated with the attacking troops, and smashed into pieces the temporary defenses organized by the Lunar Army in the open plain terrain.
Everywhere is like a dilapidated house full of holes, with air leakage from all sides. Either one area has been broken through, or another area has been torn open.
The two infantry brigades under the eastern jurisdiction of the 101st Regiment were all put into battle, but the actual strength of the two brigades listed on the books was less than a thousand men.
Yu Dong's Bu Fu was thrown into the sky by the Red Army in the devastating bombardment not long ago, and he could not hold up his broken body and fell to the roadside on the road to death.
With such a small number of troops and no preset positions and long-range fire support, it is tantamount to wishful thinking to stop the coordinated charge of infantry and tanks led by Alsim.
The overwhelmed Moon Army soon found that they could not withstand the force at all. They had no choice but to throw into the battle the troops that the other team did not want to invest or had reserved until a last resort.
The cavalry brigade that had just finished cleaning up the "Pro-Horse Rebellion".
The devil's idea is actually very simple.
The ancient arm of the cavalry is undoubtedly a technical arm. Compared with ordinary infantry who can just practice a clockwork gun and throw it on the battlefield in as little as two or three weeks or as long as a few months, the training cost of the cavalry is insignificant.
When high.
First of all, equestrian itself is not a skill that everyone can practice. There are not many recruits who can be controlled on horseback. It is even more difficult to select among them those who are able to fight on horseback.
Horse archery, horse riding and slashing, and man-horse coordination training all require much longer time and costs than training an infantryman, and have a higher elimination rate.
If you spend a lot of time training, you may not really be able to train a qualified cavalry. Otherwise, you may accidentally fall off the east horse and be trampled to death by the horse.
Not to mention the cost of selecting and training war horses. The amount of food consumed by a cavalryman eating horse chews is equivalent to that of a regular infantry squad. I can even say that a qualified war horse itself is "high-value technical equipment"
.
Now the war horses are almost dead, most of them were killed by the Russians.
Coupled with the fact that the Crazy Horse was out of control and had to kill a bunch more, it was difficult to control the scene of the Crazy Horse running around. Yu Dong's horses were already very few and could not form an army.
The Japs who suffered heavy losses are already painful enough, but if they can also bring in the cavalry, which has a very high training cost to paralyze the earth ponies, it would be as painful as cutting the Japs' flesh with a knife.
You can tell whether Yuejun's idea is a good one.
If possible, you can keep the cavalry without horses and keep the seeds until a few months later. After a while, they can be equipped with new horses, and then you will have a qualified cavalry force.
But obviously, the huge battlefield pressure did not allow the Japanese to be so timid. If they hid the horseless cavalry, they would be finished immediately.
If there is no other choice, the cavalry, who have lost their horses and have been converted into infantry, can also be thrown into the battlefield.
Those Yue cavalry who do not carry the 38-type cap, but instead carry the Kwantung Army's latest 99-type lance, their combat effectiveness without horses is not even as good as conventional infantry.
At least the conventional infantry has light and heavy machine guns, mortars, and grenade launchers. However, those cavalry without horses have only the lances in their legs to rely on.
As for drawing out the saber and launching a charge, I, the Japs, should first ask Kalashnikov, who is facing him, if he agrees.
Seeing a group of Japanese soldiers rushing in front of the formation from behind and joining in the battle, Alsim, with his sharp eyes, saw the key details at a glance.
"It seems that the Tsukimoto Japanese are out of action. All the cavalry without horses are sent here to die."
"Work harder! Keep attacking! Let's see how long those bow-legged Tsukimoto can hold on!"
Those Lunar troops with lances on their legs and sabers on their waists were exposed as soon as they entered the battle. Alsim knew that the Lunar troops dressed in that way would definitely not be ordinary infantry.
Investing such a high-level unit and downgrading it to infantry to participate in the battle, combined with the situation on the battlefield in front of you.
If rounding doesn’t mean that my Japanese devil has no work to do, what can I do?
There were not many wreckage on the offensive path further forward, and Alsim, who did not want to immerse himself in the charge, immediately made a support-demanding gesture toward the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles behind him that were responsible for approaching direct fire support.
"Driver, move forward! Take them to the pressure and prepare to meet the infantry comrades."
Through the commander's periscope in his leg, he could clearly see Alsim's leg movement at a close distance.
The commander of the tank company who responded to the call immediately issued an order via radio, and a large number of T43 medium tanks and BMP43 infantry fighting vehicles came in force, spraying gunfire and black smoke from the rear of the vehicle.
"Follow the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles and keep pushing forward! Quick!"
If there is no cover, call a mobile cover.
The combat engineers and infantrymen advanced alternately with the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, covering each other. They cleared away almost all the Lunar Army infantry and anti-armor fire threats in the area, and then called on the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles in the east to stop and support the situation. They were in front and covered
Advance.
Alsim and his entourage were beaten to the point of gasping for air, but before they could even wait for the Japanese soldiers who had just received the support of the unhorsed cavalry to get excited, the huge Russian steel monsters rumbled down on them again.
Taking advantage of the opportunity of the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles approaching from the side, they quickly moved out of the various wreckage and crater bunkers, changed positions to the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, and then used the infantry and tanks to coordinate the forward pressure attack.
If you can't defeat the Russian steel monster, you won't be able to hurt the infantry hiding behind it at all.
The Lunar Army did not think of any tricks. They concentrated the remaining grenades on their legs and tried to hit the infantry behind the tanks with direct fire.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the grenade was fired, the Russians retaliated quickly and directly used tank guns to blast the grenade team.
The aggrieved Japanese grenade launcher really didn't expect that he would be given the opportunity to be directly served by the Russians at the tank gun, literally eating all he could of large-caliber grenades.
The 100mm main gun kept firing, and the 12.7mm Deshka heavy machine gun mounted on the roof of the vehicle fired in unison.
If you don't change the position, you can wait to be killed. Once you change the position, the main gun and machine gun will be full.
Do the brutal Russians really not let go of any comrade who dares to move and change their positions? Do they see that their own people will be beaten into a hornet's nest and blown to pieces as soon as they show up, and the casualties of the Moon Army are soaring every minute and every second?
I was really killed until my scalp went numb.
"Baga! Don't go east like that again! The Russians clearly want to use their firepower advantage to kill them all, leaving no one behind!"
The group leader, Ge Dong, scolded his mother, and the surrounding squadron leaders and squad leaders who came to obey orders just thought it was a fart.
Who can't see the situation? But the Russians use the "Ming Ming" card, and the main one is "Let me see the red, what can I do?" In this situation, apart from being killed by the Russians, it is very dangerous.
How to break the situation?
"Attack now! Attack the Russians!"
!?
But he never expected that the blushing captain Gedong would actually hold back such a fart that was seeking his own death.
The squadron leaders and squad leaders, who were expecting their leaders to come up with some clever tricks, looked at Dongfou and he looked at me. He couldn't believe what he just heard was true.
It felt like I heard a joke that should have been funny, but I just couldn't laugh because the tragic hero in the joke was fucking denying himself.
"Gentlemen! Show your courage as an imperial warrior! Just like Nogi Nogi Kakutō, with the ambition of serving the country for seven lives, attack the Russians! Those Russian barbarians will surely surrender to their courage, and the human bullets will eventually defeat them.
Gundam!"
At this point, the several squadron leaders and squad leaders present have personally experienced the classic slogan "Meat bombs defeat steel bullets", and it turns out that it also has that fucking meaning.
When meat bombs hit the Russian steel monster, how could it not be considered "meat bombs defeated steel bombs"?
Captain Gedong felt that his description was correct. Several squadron leaders and squadron leaders looked at Dong Dong with grim faces and asked if they had any trouble.
Seeing that Captain Ge Dong had already pulled out his command sword, he knew that the moment he pulled the sword out of its sheath, there was no room for negotiation, and the few Japanese officers who had just taken the order and left could just do it.
"Warriors of the Empire! Attack the Russians! Give the Turks!!!"
“The hell is on the black card!!!”
“Onboard!!!”
???
Alsim, who used the tank cover to dodge and shoot, was stunned. He saw a large number of Japanese soldiers with bayonets pointing towards the tank. The only feeling in his heart was "Is it possible?" He couldn't understand, but he was greatly shocked.
”.
"Are those Tsukimoto Japs crazy? The infantry charges towards the tanks!?"
"Otherwise, what should we do? Are you waiting to be shot and killed by us? Then let's go to the initial madness and open fire!"
Alsim ordered full firepower to the soldier beside him. Without any hesitation, Alsim grabbed the external wired phone at the rear of the tank. He picked up the phone and spoke directly to the commander who was answering the call outside the vehicle.
call.
"Tell all the cars to turn on their firepower! Turn on their firepower immediately! The Tsukimoto Japanese went crazy and blasted all those bastards into pieces! No one was left alive!"
"receive!"
After hanging up the call from Alsim outside the east train, the captain grabbed the radio and started shouting on all channels.
"Attention all crews! Stop advancing and immediately turn on all firepower. He repeated it again! Concentrate all firepower and destroy all incoming enemies!"
The T43A medium tanks present, plus the attached BMP43 infantry fighting vehicles, totaled 22 vehicles in two companies.
That means that the Moon Army's current Long Live Charge is targeting 11 100mm tank guns, 11 25mm machine guns, 11 12.7mm Deshka heavy machine guns, and 22 7.62mm coaxial machine guns.
In addition, two companies of infantry carried a huge amount of semi-automatic and fully automatic small arms to launch a charge.
His courage is commendable and his momentum is fierce, but there is no doubt that he is extremely stupid.
Even if you are forced to do it as a last resort, it still cannot change the fact that it is pure performance art.
Countless rifle and machine gun bullets and larger-caliber grenades roared in, and the tracer barrages that swept across like fire dragons kept knocking down rows of Japanese soldiers.
The bayonet sticking to the tip of the 38-cap gun was stained with blood, but it fell into a pool of the gunman's blood and was stained with his own blood.
Although it appeared to be a brigade-level charge, it actually numbered less than 300 people.
The old, weak, sick and disabled were all there together with the bandaged wounded. The Moon soldiers who had lost the ability to move were lying on the ground and shooting, providing fire support for the consumables who were charging to death in front of them.
The captain Ge Dong, who was not afraid of death, was not afraid of death and war, but he was personally in the formation to command the leading soldiers of Leg Dong to lead the charge.
Just make fun of the Russian artillery shells, regardless of whether I am a captain or an ordinary soldier.
The 100mm grenade that roared at high speed did not even explode in the east, but hit the captain squarely in the face.
A 100mm grenade came directly to the leg and hit the head, performing a head disappearing technique on the spot.
However, because the hardness of the head was so poor, it was not even strong enough to trigger the collision fuse. After the head of Captain Gedong was shattered and lost with one shot, he continued to scream through the air and move forward at high speed.
It wasn't until he bumped into the feet of several Yue soldiers who were charging behind them that the 100mm grenade with a bloody warhead that hit the ground exploded on the spot.
Boom——
Captain Gedong, who had lost his head but had no time to fall, was now a headless corpse. He was directly thrown away due to the strong blast from behind.
Blood sprayed from Duan Bo's broken neck, and his body spun around, performing a 360-degree pirouette three full times in mid-air before falling heavily to the ground with missing arms, broken legs, and smoke. He was already dead.
No more death.
Even the hilt of the smoking Sanguan sword, which was blown into three pieces by a single shot, flew at least seventy or eighty meters before being pierced into the soil. It turned from a distinguished object into a battlefield garbage with no practical value.
.
In less than half a cigarette, very few of the nearly 300 charging Moon troops had been killed, leaving only the injured soldiers who had fallen to the ground and those who had been knocked unconscious by the explosion.
The Lunar Army attacking from the front was defeated, and the Moon Army from behind also suffered a miserable end with loud gunfire.
The main force of the two-pronged outflank, led by Kulbalov himself, had completed its detour and cut off its only retreat at the rear of the Lunar Army's formation.
After the troops were united, Kulbalov didn't say much nonsense. He gave an order and personally led his troops towards the rear of the Moon Army to kill the generals.
At the same time, the Lunar Army, who had expected such a scene, finally revealed their last trump card - nine Type 94 ultra-light tanks that the Lunar Army defined as "cavalry combat vehicles."
But at this moment, the Adzuki Bean chariot, which weighs just over 3 tons, has the wrong legs.
However, Kulbalov personally commanded, leading a company of nearly 70 tons of IS7 heavy tanks at the front.
Faced with a tonnage difference of more than 30 times, the Lunar Army chariot soldiers, who were no bigger than elephants than corgis, walked in the roaring iron coffin and felt a despair that was almost suffocating.
"Ge Dong, what should we do?"
"Fight! Fight to the end with the Russians!"
"."
The commander and gunner who was manipulating the 7.7mm machine gun pulled the trigger and fired while answering the driver's questions.
He took out the most powerful main weapon of the entire vehicle in the East and shot at the Russians, but in exchange for it he got an IS7 cannon leg. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Comrade Commander, the Lunar Army stroller is firing at them. The sound is very pleasant to hear."
With his legs holding the commander's periscope, he had a panoramic view of the scene. Kulbalov, with a smile on his face, still spoke calmly and calmly.
"Load high-explosive bombs! Target Lunar Army armored vehicle, gun legs ready!"
