The Russians are not stupid. Faced with China's somewhat abnormal behavior, the Russian high-level officials have already thought that this may be a complete set to lure the enemy deeper. Therefore, before attacking, Linevich specially prepared a retreat for himself.

A large number of anti-tank guns were placed on the flank positions to stabilize the position. At the same time, after the long-range artillery was in place,

, before launching the attack. In this case, even if there is something wrong on the front line, long-range firepower can be used to intercept. After all, if the 107mm cannon and howitzer are lost at close range, the No. 1 tank can be seriously damaged or destroyed. In order to ensure the expansion of your own forces

Later, attacking after the position was secure became Linevich's first choice.

The Russians are not stupid, and the Chinese Army is not stupid either. If the Russians are really ready to face the hidden 47mm, 57mm or even 75mm rapid-fire guns, the No. 1 tank can really

It’s not enough for other people to drive. And the Russians have 107mm plus

For agricultural artillery, in order to increase mobility and facilitate rapid assault and outflank, the Chinese Army's strongest firepower is the 105mm short-barreled howitzer, which is far inferior to the 107mm cannon in terms of range and power. If you really wait for the opponent to arrange it

, maybe the attacking troops will really have a few teeth knocked out!

"We must take the initiative and disrupt the opponent's rhythm before they complete their deployment. General Peng will arrive on the battlefield within 3 days. What we have to do now is to cling to the opponent and buy time for the main force to arrive. This

We will fight against superior enemy forces, and we will make great sacrifices, but I believe that it will all be worth it. We have proven our worth in the Northern Front Battle, and this time, we need to prove our

It's the best!" Cai E said at the pre-war mobilization meeting.

The two main defensive support points of the Russian army are on the left and right sides of the position. The left side has been deployed first, and now only the blocking position on the right wing has not yet been completed. Cai E's main force will launch an attack on the Russian right wing. The specific strength of the troops is

for an armored brigade.

In addition to assaulting the unfinished Russian defensive positions, he also needs to always be on guard against the Russian armored forces. While beating the opponent's position to a pulp, he also has to defend his own flanks from being beaten to a pulp! And the remaining one

The brigade is used for support and defense.

The Chinese Army acted very quickly. At dawn the next day after the Russians entered the battlefield, the main force of the First Independent Armored Brigade led by Cai E launched a surprise attack on the Russian army, and the spearhead of the entire armored force was still long-term.

Zhang Tianyi's armored battalion passed through the battlefield, and this time, as the sharp knife of the general offensive, Zhang Tianyi

The armored battalion was once again strengthened. A whole company of assault guns was assigned to him. These assault guns were responsible for attacking strong firepower points or the opponent's heavy armored vehicles in the back row of the tanks. After completing the breakthrough, this armored punch

It will be recovered by the brigade headquarters and then used uniformly to cover its own flanks.

"In the early morning of August 18, my comrades and I were sharing today's breakfast. As the supply line was cut off, the reserves in our hands were getting less and less. The breakfast only had black bread and boiled potatoes, and four people shared one.

The so-called canned beef, what kind of canned beef is this? It's just a mixture of cow blood and flour! But even these things may be the last meal for some people."

"While we were eating, the sudden vibration from the ground, the billowing smoke and the loud noise in the distance made everyone feel scared. There is only one possibility for this situation, and that is hundreds of vehicles of various types rushing towards us.

The voice of our brothers who escaped from the Northern Front

We have heard about these guys who are invulnerable and possess ferocious firepower. We have also made full preparations for this situation. Combat artillery of various calibers will be the key to our fight against them. We quickly threw away our lunch boxes and rushed to the gun emplacement.

, then open the ‘medicine’ box and prepare to fight.”

"As an elite artillery team selected to serve as the first line of defense, we have conducted many practical experiments and attacked moving targets. We once trusted the 57mm flat-fire cannon in our hands, and also trusted our own tactical skills.

.In our eyes, those little guys less than 10 tons are just cans, and the 57mm cannon in our hands is the best can knife! Our artillery is arranged in the position, making it even harder to be discovered, and

We also calibrated the distance beforehand."

"But when we saw the tanks exposed in the billowing smoke, a sense of power emerged in our hearts. There were too many of them, and their impact speed was too fast! Wedge-shaped teams appeared in front of us one after another.

My artillery crew started attacking with the 57mm gun, and the first shot was a test shot.

.Missed, and then the second shot hit the front armor of a No. 1 tank, piercing the armor and tearing apart the opponent's defense. It stopped, and smoke billowed out. But more tanks overtook it.

The tank was destroyed and began to fire back with a 37mm cannon and machine gun."[

"The fierce firepower of dozens of 37mm rapid-fire cannons and machine guns completely covered the entire battlefield. We didn't have time to build a complete trench system. Everyone tried to lower their bodies as low as possible, but even so, we still couldn't escape death.

Sickle. A comrade tried to rely on the mantlet of the 57mm gun to provide cover.

, but it has been proven that this kind of gun mantlet can be easily destroyed by artillery, and the fragments produced by the rupture will affect the companions next to it. The 10 artillery groups responsible for blocking were breached almost in an instant, and the enemies we destroyed

There were no more than five tanks." A Russian artillery second lieutenant recalled after the war.

The first line of defense is used to consume and delay time. The real adjustment is the second line of defense. This unformed line of defense is equipped with more anti-tank guns and a sufficient number of infantry. The Russians are looking forward to this line of defense.

The defense line can withstand the opponent's attack, and as many as 38 various flat-fire cannons are placed

In the temporary gun nests, they are lower in appearance and more difficult to detect and aim. At the same time, the thick rammed earth around them can also provide some protection for the gunners. In addition, there are nearly a platoon of soldiers next to each gun nest to provide protection.

When necessary, these "human anti-tank guns" will serve as the last resort.

Behind these fixed anti-tank gun positions, there is also a T1S tank and a T3 tank equipped with a 47mm flat-fire cannon and a 57mm flat-fire cannon. This is the most elite mobile anti-tank tank in the hands of the Russians.

With their armored strength, they will deal a fatal blow to the opponent after the Chinese Army's offensive is blocked! But at this time, the elite of the Chinese Army decisively chose a new strategy when facing the iron plate-like defense line in front.

Outside the opponent's effective range, the charging armored troops began to disperse in company units, and the two armored companies began to outflank the two wings of the position. Although the position was very well-defended, it did not form a complete line with other troops.

The defense line. After the tanks dispersed, the No. 1 assault gun located in the rear began to appear in the Russian sight. This weapon with the ability to kill any simple bunker and target with one hit is the most terrifying weapon among the offensive forces.

exist!

After firing out several rounds of smoke, the Chinese Army's frontal breakthrough and outflanking were carried out at the same time. With the roar of engines, dozens of tanks and assault guns began to attack the entire position. The machine guns hissed like tearing oilcloth, and the 37mm speed

The crisp sound of the cannon and the dull sound of the 75mm short cannon are like a song of death.

Echoing on the position. The Russian gunner had difficulty distinguishing the looming tank in the smoke, and then fired armor-piercing rounds one after another. Because of the interference of the smoke, the continuous suppression of the opponent's artillery, and the charge of the tank troops, the entire

The Russian position became a bit chaotic. Some gunners opened fire in advance, while others were still looking for targets.

Scattered gunfire sounded in the Russian position. This kind of shelling may be able to destroy one or two unlucky tanks, but its biggest effect is to expose one's position. Although it is impossible to accurately lock on due to the thick fog, it is still difficult to open fire.

The muzzle flame produced against the gray background is like a beacon in the dark night, telling the literary network that I am here!" Then these exposed

The artillery position will be taken care of by the 75mm short gun at the back and the 82mm mortar further back. Although it is protected by the parapet, which can help block the pieces, direct firepower and shrapnel falling from the sky can still destroy the artillery or cannon.

The team members were blown to pieces! Balls of bright yellow flames were blooming. Loud noises were heard, hammering the Russian defense positions at all times.

Because of the presence of infantry, the tanks of the Chinese Army dare not easily take risks. The armored brigade commanded by Cai E lacks the cover of infantry. Although the Chinese Republic can equip the army with more than two divisions of tanks, it does not have enough resources and financial resources.

To equip infantry transport vehicles, as for letting ordinary trucks go to the battlefield, it is better to provide them with paper-like protection. Maybe a pothole on the roadside can make this truck sink into the sand!

But at the same time, the Russians' sporadic counterattacks could not completely defeat their opponents. The 38 flat-fire cannons seemed to be a lot, but they had to be scattered in all directions. At the same time, some of the artillery could not be used due to "firing" problems. There were also

Part of it has been destroyed. As the attacking party, numerical superiority in a small area is necessary. The Chinese Army began to use its firepower advantage to gradually destroy the Russian resistance, just like peeling off the skin of an egg, slowly layer by layer the opponent's defense line.

The layers peel off.

Just as Zhang Tianyi's assault battalion began to slowly wear down the opponent's defense force, the other two battalions began to cross the battlefield. One of their battalions was preparing to ambush the Russian troops coming to support, while the other battalion would continue the attack. The mission of the armored forces

It means constantly tearing apart and dividing the opponent's defense line. Guderian once said a very domineering statement, which meant that he asked the prisoners to surrender to the infantry behind him, and he had no time to accept the prisoners. But now, the Chinese Army even follows this request!
