At 12:30 noon, the battle on the front line of Daukala Town started.
The Soviet army's defense was stronger than expected. They not only dug anti-tank trenches, but also equipped 50mm anti-tank guns. In the first wave of assaults, they lost four Wolf tanks and two Panther tanks.
Chang'an Ruoyi was alerted that something was wrong and immediately ordered the tank troops to withdraw. Then, based on the position of the Soviet anti-tank guns, six I-type 24-barreled 150mm rocket launcher vehicles were used to suppress the Soviet positions with fire.
Explosions were heard one after another on the Soviet position. In a short period of time, hundreds of rockets fell on the Soviet position, causing smoke to fill the sky.
An Ruoyi saw in the telescope that the Soviet army's defense system was very complete. Three circular blocking lines were set up in a small area. Although the rocket bombardment was extremely violent, it could be seen from the splashed dust that the Soviet army
The casualties were not large, and it was obvious that there were anti-cannon holes and other facilities built.
What the tank troops rely on is to use their mobility and flexibility to attack the enemy group at high speed, ruthlessly divide and surround the enemy, and then annihilate them. Now the positions built by the enemy have restricted the performance of tanks, but attacking fortresses is not just about relying on
Tanks can do it. Thinking of this, An Ruoyi decisively gave the order to retreat.
Seeing a large number of tanks turning around and leaving, a deafening "Ula" sound erupted from the Soviet position.
In the Soviet command headquarters, the political commissar of the third division, Zakhvoki, was very excited and loudly said to the division commander Kudryash: "Comrade Kudryash, please order the troops to attack. The enemy suffered a defeat in the face of our attack. We
We must continue our efforts and strive to annihilate more enemies!"
Kudryash looked serious: "Sorry, Comrade Political Commissar, I cannot give such an order. After the battle just now, we have determined the identity of the enemies - they are Chinese. According to our intelligence, the Chinese who went south
There are at least six armies, and most of them are mechanized troops. If our infantry loses its solid fortifications, we will fall prey to enemy attacks. I can't just watch our soldiers die!"
"You are afraid of the enemy like a tiger and passively avoid fighting——"
Zakhvoki pointed at Kudryash and angrily shouted:
"Comrade Kudryash, I hope you can understand that the Soviet warriors, who are supported by strong spiritual beliefs, are simply not comparable to the timid Chinese. Didn't you see just now? They don't have infantry coordination. If they hit a wall at the slightest moment, they will be frightened.
It's a waste, we just need to take our anti-tank weapons on the road, and also bring some more explosive packs and cluster grenades, so we won't be afraid of a Chinese counterattack!"
"I can't-"
As soon as Kudryash said this, Major Kazalinsky, the division's internal affairs committee member who had been watching with cold eyes, suddenly pulled out his pistol and pressed it to Kudryash's temple:
"Comrade Commander, the Soviets are invincible! As a member of the Internal Affairs Committee, I do not allow any passive fear of the enemy or retreat. I hope you will issue the order to attack now!"
"That's—okay!"
Kudryash shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, and immediately asked the chief of staff to issue an order on his behalf, requiring each regiment to leave only one battalion to garrison the camp, and the rest of the troops to attack across the board, bring all anti-tank weapons and baggage, and resolutely destroy the Soviet enemies.
Rush into the forest or even the desert further north.
...
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the defensive position of the 8th Motorized Infantry Battalion had been set up in Kizi Town, south of the Hekou Forest. The battalion commander, Major Lang Lang, had turned this small town of only ten square kilometers into a solid fortress.
According to the configuration of the tank corps, in order to strengthen the organization, the motorized infantry battalion attached to the tank brigade has three motorized infantry companies, two tank accompanying companies, an anti-tank company and an artillery company, as well as a reconnaissance platoon and heavy machine guns directly under the battalion headquarters.
The role of the platoon and motorized infantry battalion is to conduct coordinated infantry and tank operations when attacking a solid position defended by the enemy to prevent destruction by the enemy's infantry.
The 8th Motorized Rifle Battalion is deployed along the south side of the town. If the enemy insists on entering the forest, it will give them a head-on attack.
Two platoons of infantry defended the left wing. They built two skirmisher defense lines based on a hill more than 40 meters high, laid mines along the road, and stretched barbed wire in front of the trench. Two more platoons were deployed.
In the eastern depression, although this area is full of quagmire and rice fields, the mud
The ground was muddy and difficult to walk through, which was not conducive to an attack. However, because the groundwater level was shallow and water seeped out within half a meter, trenches could not be dug. The soldiers had to hide themselves with branches and straw after laying a large number of mines to avoid attracting Soviet attacks.
Pay attention to it, and at the same time give the Soviet army a fatal blow when it attacks.
Three motorized infantry platoons are placed in three positions one hundred meters apart in the main position. The heavy machine guns, anti-tank companies and mortar platoons of each company are directly under the battalion. Behind the main position, there are cannons, howitzers and mortars.
All the guns were set up, with their dark muzzles pointed at the road in front of the town. As soon as there was any movement, the artillery would launch fire attacks on the invading enemy. In addition, there were two motorized infantry platoons and two accompanying tank companies as strategic reserves.
use.
The positions of the artillery company directly under the battalion were set up in the four corners of the town, echoing each other. The reconnaissance platoon drove out of the town and set up an ambush in the jungle to the south, ready to carry out a fatal blow to the enemy at any time.
Time passed unknowingly, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, the Soviet army heading north arrived belatedly.
This was not because the Second Amu Darya Division was lazy, but that they encountered many unpleasant things on the way. Not long after the troops set off, an obviously enemy reconnaissance plane hovered over their heads. Ten minutes later
, about fifteen dive bombers flew over their heads. These planes strafed and dropped bombs on their heads recklessly, making everyone terrified.
Every time Anjiajun's B2 bomber imitating the German J87 dives, it makes extremely high-pitched and sharp noises, and every attack can cause fatal losses, causing the entire Soviet army to be in chaos and fear.
Soviet division commander Andreevich saw with his own eyes that a truck towing a 75mm field gun under his command and the artillerymen on it were all sent into the sky by enemy bombs.
Many horses dragging ammunition and baggage were agitated by the shrill roar of the planes. In addition, during the bombing, the coachmen only knew how to escape for their own lives, so many horses lost control and jumped around.
About a quarter of an hour later, the fifteen bombers dropped all their ammunition, circled in the air, and then flew away, leaving the Second Division in a mess.
When Andreevich finished reorganizing his troops, he found that most of the division's supplies had been lost. This was mainly due to the frightened horses being out of control. Frequent bombings caused about 500 carriages to lose control, roll over or be driven to the ground.
was destroyed, which directly led to the lack of entire logistical supplies.
Most of the cannons were pulled by trucks, and they were extremely conspicuous among the marching troops. They became the focus of bombers from the beginning, so they were damaged in an air raid.
Andreevich couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, he was wise and left the cavalry regiment behind. Otherwise, this round of bombing would have caused heavy losses.
When things got to this point, Andreevich had no good solution. Under the urging of Political Commissar Peter Olchi and Internal Affairs Commissar Belikov, he took command of the troops and continued northward. However, when he reached the end of the field, he
It was found that Kizi Town had been occupied, and the enemy had managed it into a seemingly extremely solid defense line.
After seeing this situation through the telescope, Andreevich shook his head helplessly, knowing in his heart that the opportunity had been lost. The next thing to do was to organize the troops and launch an attack as soon as possible. Judging from the enemy's deployment, there were not many in number.
, saying that it may not be possible to break through the enemy's position.
So Andreevich immediately ordered his troops to form an offensive formation and prepare to launch an offensive.
After careful reconnaissance by the reconnaissance force, Andreevich discovered that the opponent's defensive positions in the northwest and due north were built extremely solidly on the hills, while the northeast was in a low-lying area. Although it was muddy, it seemed that the opponent had not sent troops to carry out the attack.
defense, so they immediately determined the attack plan: first send out a
The infantry regiment attacked the main position in the north to contain the opponent's defensive firepower, and then sent another battalion to attack the northwest to create the illusion of an attack. The remaining troops assaulted to the northeast, trying to break through the low-lying area in one go and invade the center of the town as soon as possible.
This can shake the opponent's entire defense system as quickly as possible.
After issuing the order, the Soviet army began preparations. Half an hour later, eight 75mm field guns opened fire. This was the only remaining artillery of the Second Division. There were originally sixteen 107mm field guns and twenty-four 75mm field guns.
, but it was a pity that it was scrapped in the air raid just now. In addition, some mortars were used to coordinate the shelling.
The Soviet artillery had just spoken and was immediately attacked by the artillery battery of the 8th Motorized Infantry Battalion.
Eight 120mm howitzers, plus eight 81mm mortars, each shell fell from the sky with a heavy whistling sound, instantly surrounding the Soviet artillery position, and large and small mushroom clouds shot straight into the sky.
The huge explosions and flashes caused heavy losses to the Soviet army that was caught off guard. Artillery, artillery and infantry preparing to attack were all shrouded in artillery fire. Broken limbs and broken arms were mixed with the remains of the cannon, flying across the air with a terrifying momentum.
The shelling of the 8th Motorized Infantry Battalion lasted for five minutes. The intensity and density of the firepower shocked all the surviving Soviet troops. In their view, with such powerful artillery fire, the opponents they faced definitely hid their strength.
, it will not be as simple as it seems on the surface, and the next battle will be difficult to fight.
The defeat in the first battle dealt a huge blow to the morale of the troops participating in the feint attack. However, under the machine guns of the war supervision team composed of the internal affairs troops, most of the officers and soldiers could only pick up their weapons and, under the leadership of political commissars and commanders at all levels,
Get down and attack forward.
The Soviet infantry formed a long skirmish line, with each skirmish line fifty meters apart. What made people feel strange was that the Soviets actually set up bright bayonets on their long rifles, and then slowly moved toward the main force.
The position came over.
Seeing the tactics adopted by the Soviets, the fifteenth Motorbi -torment of the head of the telescope observed in the highland bunker behind the main position frowned: "No, the Soviets are not crazy?
Is the Satalog of Soldiers during the war? Isn't this death? "
While saying, Gao Nai Sheng looked back at the combat staff standing next to him.
"It doesn't make sense, how can the Soviet army be made by the elite of the baptism of domestic war?"
Dai Zhilin, who has just graduated from the Syrian officer school, sets up the submarine mirror of Wang Kong and looked at the attack formation of the Soviets, and issued the same question.
"Is there a problem, is it a trap?"
Dai Zhilin thought about it and asked, "Lian Jian, do you want to report to the battalion leader?"
Gao Jiansheng shook his head decisively: "No, soldiers to cover the water from the water, let's see what medicine is sold in the Soviet gourd!"
With the sound of the charge, the Soviet army began to initiate charge, and in the sound of "Ula", it accelerated.
"Is the enemy charge like this?" Gao neighboring rushed to the next side of the talker, and ordered loudly to the talker: "Note at the frontier, put the enemy within 100 meters before firing, and the mortar can be in 200 meters.
Perform artillery fire! Remember, don't let an enemy! "
At the end of Gao Neighborhood, a fierce burst sounded in front of the position. This was the mortar began to press the firing.
As soon as the shell was sprayed, it bloomed at the distance of more than two hundred meters across, and a few Mao Zibing fell to the ground in a few Mao Zibing near the fried point.
The Soviets did not retreat, and bravely shouted to rush forward.
At this time, the general machine gun on the main position began to shoot. The shooting sound of "cough" unique to the universal machine gun became a hell sonat here.
In a short time, in a short period of time, the body of the Soviet army filled the open space in front of the position.
