The Northern Front Army was ordered to support the tank division of the Seventh Army. The division commander was named Tie Anshan. Tie Anshan was forty-three years old and in his prime, just like the commanders of the other two tank divisions. When Vatutin ordered them to lurk, He was not convinced, and even told his confidants in private that Commander Vatutin was becoming less and less courageous.
Tie Anshan's attitude is quite representative among the Soviet Red Army. The main reason for this situation is naturally due to information blockage. Unlike China, the coalition government still advocates freedom of speech. The special situation in Soviet Russia The political system determines that people like Tie Anshan are not able to know the major events happening in the world at the first time, so that in their minds, their understanding of China only stops at the early days of the Anti-Japanese War and Chinese reinforcements. Many people do not even know We know that China is already ahead of the world in terms of fighter aircraft technology and nuclear bomb technology. Their cognitive blind spots make them not take the so-called Chinese threat seriously at all. They are also the ones who clamor most fiercely to regain the Far East.
The Chinese Far East Army kicked off the Far East Campaign with indiscriminate bombing. Ordinarily, such violent bombing should have alerted Tie Anshan and others. Otherwise, after experiencing a larger and longer bombing by the German army, In their view, this kind of bombing by the Chinese just shows the cowardice of the Chinese. "Let the Chinese fighter planes be arrogant. The fruits of victory will ultimately be won by ground troops." From the perspective of a bystander, Such statements by Tie Anshan and others are more like idiots talking in their dreams. However, in Tie Anshan's own opinion, this is definitely not the case. After defeating Germany, it should not be said that after withstanding the German attack, it seems that, They do have the confidence to say such harsh words.
After receiving the reinforcement order, Tie Anshan immediately contacted Lankovsky. However, nearly an hour later, he was still unable to contact him. Not only Tie Anshan, but also Vatutin also discovered that he was in contact with the Seventh Army. Lost contact.
At this time, on the southeast side of Kurtuk, the telecommunications shielding vehicles of the First Far East Army had already started working, disrupting the enemy's wartime communications through electronic jamming means. This is a unique skill currently mastered by the Chinese army, and Jiang Tieyao showed this move at this time because he had the intention of annihilating the Seventh Army in Kultuk.
The local residents refused to cooperate, which caused a lot of trouble for Lankovsky's street fighting plan. Lankovsky was angry at his family's lack of cooperation when the communications staff came to report that he had lost contact with the headquarters.
At this time, the Soviet Russians did not know that the Chinese army could block their telecommunications signals, so they were very imaginative when it came to "losing contact". Some speculated that there was a problem with the headquarters' radio station, and they were even more worried that the headquarters would be attacked by China. He was attacked by others and was cooked in a pot.
The situation in the town of Kultuk was different. For fear of hurting his own people, Jiang Tieyao asked the artillery to postpone the bombardment and ordered the frontline troops to launch street fighting under the cover of armored vehicles.
Street fighting has been the most brutal way of fighting in modern warfare since the emergence of hot weapons. Due to terrain problems, the king of hot weapons has been challenged by cold weapons. At this time, which army has higher individual soldier quality? A stronger will to fight can often determine the direction of the war.
Today, the broadsword is no longer the standard weapon for Chinese soldiers. However, this does not rule out the possibility that some soldiers with special habits may carry a broadsword on their backs as a weapon for hand-to-hand combat. The main force of the first group army is all from the former Yingyashan guerrillas. team, and the guerrillas of the former Yingyashan guerrillas, their favorite way of fighting is to swing a machete and chop off the enemy's head.
Regardless of the period of the Cadet Army or the period of the National Defense Forces, or even the current Far Eastern Army, due to the tradition of the army, when charging into battle, junior officers like to lead by example and be the first. Therefore, the slogans they shout have always been It's "Come with me" rather than "Come with me".
As a second lieutenant platoon leader, Feng Yilang took the lead after Jiang Tieyao issued the general attack order. Miraculously, he had thirty-six people in his platoon, and now thirteen of them have died in the battle. , but he still had a full beard and full hair, not even a scratch.
Residential houses in the Far East are mainly bungalows. Most of the building materials are trees, and some are mixed with a small amount of stones. In front, about a company of Soviet Russians are shooting tenaciously behind a collapsed fence, and behind Feng In front of Yilang, five brothers had already fallen.
"Cover me with fire." Feng Yilang looked up and down, and suddenly shouted at squad leader Gen Tailai and the others, then waved and ran towards a wooden bungalow on the left with Zhang Genbao and Xue Dehuai who had been following him. past.
There was a window in the wooden bungalow facing the street. Feng Yilang smashed the window open with the butt of his rifle arrogantly, and then climbed directly in. Zhang Genbao and Xue Dehuai followed closely behind, and as soon as they climbed over, the Soviet Russians on the opposite side were bombarded with bullets. He shot at it and directly broke the smashed window into pieces.
"Fight." Gen Tailai shouted loudly. He first fired a grenade, then fell to the ground on his back, kicked his feet back about half a meter, pulled the trigger hard, and shouted at the same time: "Pull me. "
His appearance immediately attracted the firepower of the Soviets. Before the Russians could concentrate their firepower, two soldiers had already grabbed his feet and dragged him back. Even so, he was still hit. After a bullet, his left shoulder was injured. He sat against the wall with his teeth bared and allowed his brothers to bandage him. Gen Tailai shouted: "Don't stop, even if you can't hit, hit me."
The remaining population of Kultuk is not large, but the street structure is very complex. This complexity itself is a defensive advantage. Therefore, after the Seventh Army withdrew, the situation was restored a lot, and as more and more people The more Soviet soldiers seized local people's houses for their own use, the Far Eastern Army's offensive progress became slower and slower.
Gen Tailai bit his lip and let his brothers bandage his wounds while looking at the broken window. It had been a few minutes since Feng Yilang and the others rushed in. He was looking forward to them appearing in a more favorable position. , and then be able to suppress the firepower of the Russians on the opposite side.
Feng Yilang lived up to their expectations. Under Gen Tailai's attention, Feng Yilang suddenly poked his head out of the chimney in the bungalow. At this time, his face was covered with soot, and only a pair of eyes could be seen on his face. Clear black and white eyes.
Feng Yilang calmly took out the gun from his chest, then took off a grenade from his waist and put it into the launch port of the grenade launcher. Then he took aim with the gun and fired it at the Soviets below. that grenade,
