Who is Zhang Xuyun? Why did Guan Xinxiang dare not sit back and watch him be captured by the Germans? Upon closer inspection, Zhang Xuyun's identity is really nothing special. For example, he is the son of so and so or the grandson of so and so, but because it involves the Yun-type 1941 heavy-duty Guan Xinxiang's actions on the sniper rifle manufacturing process, a high-level military secret, were justifiable. Because of Ouyang Yun, the Xuebing Army paid special attention to the application of new technologies and the protection of patents. Coincidentally, just after departure, That night, Zhang Xuyun actually figured out a technology that could greatly enhance the night combat performance of the Yun-type 1941 heavy sniper rifle. Of course, due to limited battlefield conditions, the auxiliary equipment related to his invention could not be manufactured on-site. This new technology was not able to be practiced in practice. However, because Guan Xinxiang and Liao Yongliang were both veterans of playing with guns, they immediately saw the feasibility of this technology after Zhang Xuyun gave a brief explanation. Xuebing In the military, inventions and creations of this type can enjoy the right of authorship. At that time, Guan Xinxiang said: Okay, in the future we will have more "Zhang Xuyun type" heavy snipers. You guys can't go back. Remember to treat,
In the Xuebing Army, inventions and creations can not only win honors, but also gain benefits. Depending on the applicable occasion, the output will definitely not be too high. However, because the cost is quite expensive, Zhang Xuyun can gain patent fees or share dividends from it. Definitely not low,
The war was fierce, and Guan Xinxiang soon forgot what he said. After Zhang Xuyun was "captured", he remembered the incident, and after discussing it with Liao Yongliang, he decided to rescue Zhang Xuyun at all costs.
One day later, at Yanauur, south of Sabi, something happened that relaxed Manstein's mind and forced Zhang Zizhong to gather all his energy. The forwards of Guderian's Second Armored Army killed Arrived, in a small town called Anmulli on the southern outskirts of Yanaur, about two regiments of the German 1st Cavalry Division exchanged fire with the cadets of the expeditionary force of a regiment defending the place. The two sides fought fiercely for more than three hours. , as the follow-up troops of the 1st Cavalry Division arrived, the expeditionary force took the initiative to retreat and abandoned Anmuli.
After the German army captured Anmulli, the division commander of the 1st Cavalry Division, Major General Medeles, saw the expeditionary force and the Soviet guerrillas building strong defenses in the city of Annaur. After reporting to Guderian, the vanguard troops were left behind. Monitor the garrison in the city, and the remaining troops march around the city to the west.
The commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force in charge of the defense of Yanauur is Jiang Tiezhang, and the expansion of the defense line to Yanauur was also proposed by Jiang Tiezhang. It was originally based on Zhang Zizhong's idea, because considering that the armor strength of our side was relatively The German army is much weaker, so it prefers to concentrate its forces to defend certain important areas that are not conducive to armored group tactics, such as Sabi. Moreover, considering that the Second Armored Group Army comes from the south, according to the current troop deployment and fighting between China and the Soviet Union The distribution of the area means that only the expeditionary force can engage in the battle. Zhang Zizhong prefers to concentrate his forces in advance to unite the Soviet Red Army to fight against Army Group A, while the direction of Sabi is only for pure defense. After defeating Army Group A, he will move on to other plans. "Our military strength disadvantage is too great. Only in this way can we maximize the liberation of our troops for fighting on the Western Front. As long as we defeat Army Group A, then the Second Armored Army, no matter how strong it is, will be unable to fight alone. By then, when we fully grasp the initiative on the battlefield, we will not be able to defeat Army Group A." They have attacked our defensive situation, and we may even try to eat the Second Armored Army."
Zhang Zizhong's plan can be regarded as a sophisticated strategy, but when it was proposed at the military council, it was opposed by Jiang Tiezhang. The reason for Jiang Tiezhang's opposition was very simple. He believed that the combat characteristic of the Second Armored Group Army was blitzes. If it was really If this is done, then if the tactics are completely abandoned, the Second Armored Group can fully utilize its strengths and bypass Sabi through long-distance maneuvers to enter the main battlefield from other directions, and it is not ruled out that they can go further to the east. The possibility of outflanking the Soviet army's rear route, "The advantage of putting the defense line outside is that we will have many more tactical options. Once Guderian repeats his old tricks and implements long-distance blitzes, then our troops defending Yanauer will If we can launch a counterattack from its flank or rear, maybe we can defeat the Second Armored Group Army first..."
Suffering from insufficient troops, and more importantly, the coalition's combat effectiveness was extremely unreliable, Zhang Zizhong actually had few tactics to choose from. He discussed with Hu Li, Jiang Tiezhang and others for more than three hours, and finally he was convinced by Jiang Tiezhang. , decided to use a mechanized infantry division and a tank brigade to increase the depth of defense. In order to ensure that this external force became a decisive force and would not become an abandoned son, he named Jiang Tiezhang to take command, and Give him the authority to temporarily call in helicopter units and missile units,
When the battle broke out in Anmuli, Jiang Tiezhang rushed to the defensive position of Yanaur South City. He saw the German army making such changes at a hidden lookout post. He knew that his previous prediction had come true, and he quickly turned around. The former leader first reported to Zhang Zizhong the new trends of the German army, and then convened officers above the regimental commander and the commanders of the local Soviet guerrillas to hold a democratic meeting on the selection of the remaining and attacking troops.
As the actual frontline of the confrontation on the current Soviet-Russian battlefield, Yanauur is active with a guerrilla force of about 2,000 people. Jiang Tiezhang is different from Zhang Zizhong. He is quite good at dealing with the Soviet Russians, so even though he came Yanauer's time was short, but he had already established a "deep" friendship with Major Bisev, the commander of this Soviet guerrilla force. When everyone arrived, he announced the start of the meeting, and then got straight to the point: "Everyone must have seen that if, as I expected before, the Germans saw that our defenses were ready, they began to detour. The Second Armored Group Army is very good at blitzes. Once it is successfully implemented, not only will we be encircled , and the flanks and even the rear of our main force may be attacked by the German army. I never want to see such a scene happen, so I decided to take the initiative and use the initiative to disrupt the German army's deployment, at least to force the German army to slow down. Come down, now I face a difficult choice. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the proactive attack, I must take away enough troops, but no one knows whether the German army will concentrate its forces and attack Yanauer again after the blitz fails. No, The German army must capture Yanauer, because their fuel trucks must have a relatively stable supply point. Everyone knows that Major Bisev's guerrillas lack enough weapons to deal with German tanks, so I need a regiment to stay. Come down and assist Major Bisev in defending Yanaur, this will be a mission of a narrow escape, brothers."
