In addition to being bombed, they were bombed in all kinds of tragic ways. The Yue army, which was in need of bullets, and the bullets were numerous, finally couldn't bear it anymore.
No matter how reluctant he was, he still had to face the cruel fact that the forward positions captured by the Russians were impossible to regain.
The Russians, whose firepower was so outrageous, occupied the position, like a bloody mouth full of fangs.
Just open your mouth and leave it there without doing anything else, and a huge amount of dead devils will be used continuously. Just like the pork that is continuously fed into the meat grinder from the assembly line in the meat factory and stuffed with sausages smoothly and smoothly.
.
Yue Jun is not crazy, but he is not stupid.
No matter how arrogant the commander of the Moon Army was, when he saw that posture, he realized that it shouldn't have happened, and he had to do something to save the situation.
The third position of the Lunar Army is outside the fully buried earthwork bunker placed at a hidden commanding height. A division commander of the Lunar Army with the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulders is holding a telescope on his legs and frowning.
"Is the Russian artillery fire continuing?"
"Hi! Division Commander Ge Dong! The Russian heavy artillery barrage extended to the first position, and the buffer area between it and the second position continued to be bombarded, and directly covered the second position! It has continued from just now to now
The shelling has not stopped for 48 minutes!"
"It's been 48 minutes, is it nearly an hour?! Your Majesty, how many artillery shells do the Russians have? Can you listen to the heavy artillery cluster east of the 100mm caliber?"
I had heard before that the Russian artillery was very powerful, and that they had always insisted on "big artillery doctrine" and blasted the Germans to pieces, but I couldn't understand exactly how powerful it was.
Well, that's good. I've experienced it myself, and it's thousands of times more powerful than any verbal description I've heard from hearsay.
The key to the Yandong problem lies precisely in the extremely brutal artillery firepower of the Russians.
The buffer zone between the first and second positions has completely become the bombing area of the Russian heavy artillery cluster, and the Russians have used artillery barrages to create a wall of destruction visible to the naked eye.
The intention was very obvious. He was determined not to let the Yue army, which was in the first position, withdraw to the east.
As soon as the aggressive Russians took over the battle, they planned to take over the entire regiments and brigades stationed in the first position. That made the old lieutenant general who was responsible for coordinating the joint command of the three divisions.
Angry and scared.
He was so angry that the Russians were so arrogant that they didn't even conduct a fire test, but just wanted to kill one of their own regiments and build a large group.
I'm afraid that the Russians seem to have that strength.
At least if there are no major changes in the current development of the war situation, it means that the Russians can really do it.
The Moon troops in the first position could no longer withdraw to the east. Is retreating through the bombing zone of the heavy artillery barrage purely an act of suicide?
Even the mechanized elites of the Germans, who had considerable tactical mobility, couldn't do this. The Japanese Japanese had to walk across the bombing zone on two bow-legged legs. They were seeking death because they couldn't even figure out where their own graves were pointing.
If we can't withdraw to the east, then we can send reinforcements to help, okay?
Even worse.
The Russian artillery shells did not distinguish whether I was trying to cross the bombing zone, whether I was retreating or not, whether I was reinforcements, so I asked the Japanese Japanese to kill them all, and send them to the sky one by one.
Not to mention that the Russians are very dissatisfied with this.
The artillery fire coverage extending in depth not only stayed in the buffer zone between the first and second positions, but also directly hit the front line of the second position.
The intention is very obvious, it is a naked conspiracy to warn the Moon Army.
The starting position at the front of the second position was gathering troops, trying to support the retreat of the Moon troops who had been severely beaten in the first position to the east.
I don’t know if we, the Japanese devils, could do it. I didn’t even think about it, and directly physically cut off the possibility of the Moon Army sending troops to reinforce it.
"Teeth! The Russian pig bullies people too much! It's so arrogant!"
Lieutenant General Yuejun, who became increasingly angry as he thought about it, cursed in his heart.
But the Russians can be scolded to death by asking for permission. Moscow has already fallen. Whether to keep your mouth shut or to use heavy artillery is a question that all fools know the answer to.
The Lieutenant General of the Yue Army, who had no other choice, pondered for a moment, and then blurted out an order that was unwilling to ignore failure.
"Send tank troops for reinforcements! Use mobility to bypass the Russian bombing zone and outflank them from both sides to quickly support the first position!"
"We don't want to regain the position, but at least we want to support the retreat! The Russians must not be allowed to attack the east so unscrupulously!"
Lieutenant General Gedong had a good idea. He allowed the Russians to use their first move and seize the eastern position with one move, adding one regiment after another.
How to fight that battle? What do the brigade commanders think about the eastern wing? What about the morale of the grassroots soldiers?
Not to mention that the Russians, who had no losses and came with the power of victory, would definitely continue to attack with all their strength.
The invisible ebb and flow of morale will make it even more difficult to fight. Even if the first line of position is lost, some losses must be caused to the Russians, which will dampen the Russians' energy and reduce their offensive capabilities.
Going back and forth is called fighting, and pure giving is called red giving.
The Lieutenant General of the Moon Army, who was well aware of this, decided to throw out the ace card of his division - a fully loaded tank regiment, and aggressively killed the Russians with the momentum of showing off to the Russians.
passed.
At the same time, on the other side, behind the violently attacking Red Army offensive troops, Kulbalov, who was located outside the forward command post, also received the latest battle report.
"Comrade Division Commander, the enemy's reinforcements are moving towards the two flanks of his attacking force. The scouts reported that the Lunar Army has dispatched a large number of tanks. It seems that they are trying to attack quickly with mobility and launch an attack from the flanks."
The leader divisions long ago used small and light tanks like the T-70 for reconnaissance. They were small in number and easy to maintain, so there were no logistical support problems.
Later, when the country got better equipment, little guys like the T-70 retired from the leadership division with great success, and retired with honors. The BMP43 infantry fighting vehicle replaced the role of the scout's accessory vehicle.
Whether one type of equipment can completely replace another type of equipment depends on whether it has better performance in the same field than the old equipment it is replacing, and whether it can win overall.
Just like the aircraft carrier replaced the battleship, is it purely because the equipment of the aircraft carrier's long-range firepower projection platform is positioned at the sea, and the firepower projection distance and combat radius output by the carrier-based aircraft have completely exceeded the same positioning. They are both at sea and long-range.
Only in this way can battleships with firepower projection platforms be replaced.
It does not deny that the aircraft carrier sank the battleship, the aircraft carrier is awesome, the aircraft carrier suppressed the battleship, the aircraft carrier replaced the battleship, that is not the case at all.
In the same way, the BMP43 can replace the T-70 as a new type of reconnaissance combat vehicle, purely because the BMP43 can do better than the T-70 in the field of reconnaissance under the current equipment system.
In terms of mobility, the BMP43 is not a fully tracked, fully enclosed combat vehicle, and has no qualitative shortcomings in terms of traversability and speed compared to the T-70.
In terms of firepower, the 25mm cannon of the BMP43 is sufficient for reconnaissance missions. Especially if it misses most of the enemy's reconnaissance situations, the enemy's lightly armored peripheral troops that are likely to come into contact will have stronger suppressive power, far exceeding the single-shot cannon of the T-70.
.
In terms of protection, although the BMP43 is known as an infantry fighting vehicle, it is better than the T-70, which is known as a tank.
After all, it has the foundation of a medium tank, and it can easily be equipped with a full set of additional armor. No matter how bad it is, it won't be much worse.
Not to mention the fact that BMP43 can pull up an infantry squad, which makes the scouts extremely happy and makes the listeners cry.
No longer do you have to drive a GAZ small jeep, ride a motorcycle, or even have a tank plug-in to follow the T-70 to take risks and engage in meat reconnaissance. It is exciting to do reconnaissance in the east car and run in the car.
The BMP43, which has a larger space and a newer platform, is equipped with a vehicle-mounted radio station with higher power and longer communication distance. It is infinitely better than the original T-70, which had no radio station but had a metal box welded outside the tank and an external radio station.
Where to go.
Therefore, although it sounds strange for an infantry fighting vehicle to be used for reconnaissance, there is no one that is most suitable for the current equipment system of the Red Army that has been modified by Malashenko.
With a reconnaissance vehicle like the BMP43 on its legs, the leader's reconnaissance unit's ability to perform missions has been greatly enhanced. It can maneuver around the edges of the battlefield and provide timely feedback.
The news of the discovery of a large number of Lunar Army tanks coming in a roundabout way was immediately reported to the division headquarters on Kulbalov's side.
He held a telescope with his legs and stared at the advancing offensive in the distance. He turned around and faced the Chief of Staff. Without thinking much, he immediately spoke.
"Send out a second batch of attacking troops and circle around from both sides. If Yue wants to play with tanks, then he can play with them and push them back with the wrong attack."
"The artillery troops continued to cover the dust! He judged that in half an hour, the battle at the first position would be over. When the artillery fire stopped, the first batch of attacking troops continued to attack from the front, and the second batch of attacks
After the troops defeated the enemy's reinforcements, they immediately surrounded and pressed them from both sides!"
"With the goal of cooperating with the first batch of attacking troops in the middle, Lijuan used his strength to attack the second position of the Dongyue Army. He completed the rendezvous at the second position. Then he switched to a defensive posture on the spot and prepared to attack the third position.
The general offensive is at the position."
"The Moon Army's defense line only has three positions. No matter what the third position, they will fight us desperately. Those crazy militarists would rather die than surrender as soon as possible."
"So be sure to be prepared, use all your strength to destroy the enemy, and then report the news of their victory to the comrade commander!"
"No, Comrade Commander."
There is one thing that Malashenko has never said, but he is doing it quietly and carefully.
Cultivating Kulbalov as the successor to the future commander of the leading army would be contrary to Malashenko's already planned plan.
Otherwise, when the great peace era comes after the war, if he and Lavrinenko are transferred from military command positions in the military agencies one after another and go to high-level positions, the leading army will not even have a reserve cadre to promote, and there will be no successors.
If he really wants to directly parachute an army commander to the east, Malashenko is more or less worried that he will lead the leading army astray and will not be able to complete the messy work of combining various arms.
Or maybe it’s because he has always been with Malashenko, or is it that Kulbalov’s commanding style of openness and control, which emphasizes frontal suppression, is indeed very similar to Malashenko.
The reason why Malashenko chose to delegate the power of command during the Battle of the Bright Moon was to let Kulbalov take charge alone.
One of the reasons for this request is that I also want to take this opportunity to see what Kulbalov Rumin's strength is and whether he can command an army of the same size as the original leader's division.
If the integration of various arms at the division level is not possible, Malashenko will have to make other plans, and the time for Kulbalov to reach the position of corps commander will be postponed indefinitely.
But judging from the current situation, Kulbalov, who has basically learned 90% of Malashenko's skills in arranging troops and formation, and has no difficulty at all in dealing with the Moon Army, can be said to have performed well.
With one division at the head of the leg being dissatisfied and only 80% of its strength, he put the defense line at the 3rd Month Army Division and beat them up without temper. He put the Moon Army into a complete set of combat plans, led the Japanese by the nose and went straight to
Walk in hell.
"Varosa sent a telegram from the river. He is directing his divisions to cross the river and assemble. He knows that the news that Kulbalov is killing everyone in front of him can no longer be carried out. Look, it is clearly stated in the telegram. Please beg for help.
Leave some for him, it won't look like a telegram from the division commander, but more like a commando captain."
"Then when he was in Stalingrad, didn't he become a commando captain? When Ru Ming reached the position of division commander, he had to keep his original intention in mind. He didn't care whether it was a good thing or not. He was indifferent to his request, but he felt that there was something wrong there."
Comrade Comrade Political Commissar, who was holding the telegram with his legs crossed, echoed and responded. Malashenko, who smiled and spoke, stood in front of the map and moved his legs to draw the map himself.
The red circle outlined by the drawing pen in the leg seems to have firmly framed the blue defense line representing the three-month army division.
"After that battle, at least half of the Yue army's field force in the direction of Harbin will be exhausted."
"Those bandy-legged monkeys are now in a panic on all sides of the defense line, and their mobile forces have basically been mobilized. Killing those three divisions will leave an irreplaceable force deficit for those bastards, and then Kulbalov and Valo will
The two men's marches were in a race."
Before he finished speaking, Malashenko had just put the drawing pen in his leg. When he turned around, he saw that the political commissar holding the telegram in his leg had already arrived in front of him.
"Kurbalov came to report that the first position of the Lunar Army has been defeated. It was found that the defenders were fully equipped with a regiment and a brigade of the Lunar Army. They have been completely wiped out. The attacking troops left the starting position.
To completely capture the position, it took a total of 58 minutes to end the battle, specifically emphasizing whether Yidong was one hour away."
"We are now launching an offensive on the second position of the Moon Army. The intensity of the resistance encountered has greatly increased, but we are still confident that the battle will end in three hours."
"Three hours? It seems that their Comrade Kurbalov has set a big goal for himself. Does he want to eat up all the three Japanese Japanese divisions in one day?"
"Otherwise, if the first two positions were taken at noon, what would Kulbalov do at noon? Did he organize people to stand in the position and urinate against the Japanese Japanese who were in the third position?"
His tone was relaxed and he was even joking. He smiled and took the telegram from his political commissar's lap and took a look at it. He immediately ordered.
"Okay! Since Kulbalov has such ambitions, the military must fully support him!"
"Give him the command of the army's artillery and tell Kurbalov that those ISU-203s now belong to him. In addition, send a report to the front army headquarters and request to arrange the aviation operation schedule at east noon. The army will initially
A position was used for supplementary bombing."
"With all the artillery and aviation support in place, it depends on whether Kulbalov can complete the goal he set for himself in the east."
