49 Battle (1)
In fact, it is unnecessary for Sukhoi to be dissatisfied, because Nikikin's order was correct. The I-5 fighter was not an opponent of the Japanese Type 91 and Type 92 fighter jets. The I-5k used on the aircraft carrier strengthened the body mechanism and further increased its weight, resulting in a further decrease in maneuverability. That is even less an opponent of the Japanese fighter jets. ∈◆Pind Novel, 2+3wx
Moreover, when the I-15 and I-16 have seized air supremacy, HNA's I-5k is even more useless. It is already considered the Air Force's kindness to be able to pick up a little reconnaissance and ground attack missions. In fact, in the Air Force's view, HNA has no need to take action at all. The Air Force alone is enough to deal with the Japanese.
"We HNA are not here to watch the show. We can attack the ground just as we attack the ground. We can also excel!" Sukhoi shouted at his young man angrily.
The contempt of the Air Force deeply stimulated HNA pilots. In order to prove themselves and to prove that the Navy's aviation was also good, HNA's young men were dispatched to attack all Japanese targets on the ground frantically, especially their commander Sukhoi, who went on the battle himself. When Nickyin learned the news, he was so angry that he almost overturned the table.
Lieutenant General took the lead in attacking, who has seen it? Anyway, HNA's morale has been greatly boosted, and the pilots are as excited as hungry wolves at around 4 o'clock in the afternoon in the zoo, which has caused trouble to the Japanese. For example, the search team led by the captain of the search team of the 23rd Division, Major Dongbabaizang, was originally planned to infiltrate the upper reaches of the Hailasten River for reconnaissance, preparing for the subsequent counterattack of the 23rd Division.
They moved forward all the way through the darkness and smoothly approached the forward of the First Tank Division. Just as they were hiding on the mound, they secretly peeked at the movements of the First Tank Division. Sukhoi pounced from the sky with a strong wind.
Perhaps for the first tank division on the ground, Dongbabaizang's camouflage was very good, but for Sukhoi in the sky, he could see through it at a glance. Without hesitation, Sukhoi lowered the nose and began to dive, and the three machine guns on the fuselage were fully fired, and he shot a circle along Dongbabaizang's search team.
At that moment, Dongbabaizang's formation was in chaos, and more than a dozen Japanese soldiers lost their lives in this round of strafing, and this was just the beginning. Sukhoi's wingman immediately followed up with the strafing, and even the First Tank Division discovered Dongbabaizang's figure. A few minutes later, the mortar shells fell on the head of the search team along with the bullets of the aviation machine gun.
"Don't retreat! All runawayers are dead!"
Dongbabaizang waved his Japanese sword and roared at the escaped Manchukuo guide and servants, but his roar did not work at all. The few traitors really ran faster than rabbits.
Bang bang bang bang!
Dongbabaizang pulled out the Southern Fourteenth Pistol and pulled the trigger without hesitation. After a few gunshots, several guides were either shot dead on the spot or had their legs broken and crawled on the ground with difficulty.
Dongbabaizang snorted in his nose, put away his pistol, pulled out his battle knife again, rushed to the creeping guide, and cut off his head with one knife.
"This is the end of being a deserter!" Dongbabaizang said viciously.
The remaining puppet troops looked at the murderous Dongbabaizang in battle. The first time they began to regret being traitors, and for the first time they realized how cruel the Japanese were.
"Prepare the machine gun, aim at the enemy plane, and release it!"
Dongbabaizang calmly pointed at Sukhoi in the air with a sword. Not only did he not order a retreat, but he was preparing to fuck the plane. It has to be said that the fanatical militarists are unreasonable.
However, the Taisho 11 light machine gun is really good at designing the air, and Dongbabaizang does not have many machine guns. Its firepower density is so low that it can't even tickle Sukhoi. In fact, Dongbabaizang's behavior is more like to be brave enough for himself, trying to scare Sukhoi away.
However, Sukhoi was not scared. He dared to bomb warships alone back then, and he performed countless combat missions. How could a few crooked players scare him? In fact, Sukhoiri ignored the harassment of the enemy's machine guns, adjusted the route on his own, and started shooting from the best angle again and again. Each time he took at least a few Japanese lives until all the bullets were fired.
When Sukhoi and his wingman left reluctantly, less than half of the search team of Dongbabaizang were left, and they were also facing encirclement and suppression by the vanguard troops of the 1st Tank Division. In this unfavorable situation, even the Japanese soldiers with strong fighting will inevitably tremble a little:
"Master, let's move in first. If we continue to fight, we will not be able to complete the task assigned by the division commander!"
In fact, this is nonsense. From the time of the exposure of the search team, Dongbabaizang could not complete the task. Even if he started to "turn in", there was only one result. He was lucky enough to be able to save his life and escape back to his hometown. To put it bluntly, these words were just for the sake of good looks.
Unfortunately, Dongbabaizang is a person who doesn’t want to be face or wants to be face-saving. He is just a stubborn. From the beginning, he looked down on the Red Army and believed that under the powerful attack of the Japanese Imperial Army, Lucia’s ghost beast could only run away with his head in his arms. When should the Imperial Army run away?
"Baga!" Dongbabaizang slapped hard and said the man's two big mouths, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Continue to fight, there are only the big Japanese samurai who are broken, and there are no big Japanese samurai who are running away!"
So can Dongbabaizang withstand it? To be honest, it can't withstand it at all, especially when the BT-2 tanks and T-26 tanks rushed over, the Japanese soldiers seemed to have few ways. At first, they used machine guns and rifles to shoot at enemy tanks frantically, but there was no effect at all. Then they tried to use grenade launchers to attack the tanks, but the initial speed of the grenade launchers was too low, and this thing was not suitable for attacking moving targets, so naturally there was no effect.
Seeing the tank getting closer and closer, and the cannons and machine guns on the turret made his troops overturn their horses, Dong Babaizang couldn't help it, so he picked up an explosive bag and prepared to break the jade. But before he could run out, he was pulled by the Ghost Head of the Military Control Commission. The "big man" (relatively speaking) the Military Control Commission seized the explosive bag from Dong Babaizang's arms and shouted: "Captain, you can't die. I'll do it!"
After saying that, the cannon fodder, who was brainwashed by Bushido, rushed towards the tank that was coming from the Mercedes with a dynamite bag, and it was a bit striking. But unfortunately, this guy's movements were too stupid and mechanized. Before he could run twenty meters, he was shot into a sieve by the machine gun, and shouted artistically: "Long live the Great Japanese Empire" and then hung up.
Dong Babaizang wiped his tears and said firmly: "Ghost Head Lord is a good example, you must take him as an example..."
The power of role models is indeed infinite. With the inspiration of Dongbabaizang, Wu Benxin Private Leap out of the trench and was almost carved out of the same shape as Guitou Zhengyang. Anyway, it was not like going to blow up a tank, but like preparing to embrace the tank. Naturally, this person was also beaten into honeycomb coal.
Suddenly, Dong Babaizhan couldn't hold back his face. Although his subordinates were brave enough, they really lacked wisdom. If everyone plays like this, it would be a waste of death.
"Do you understand the roundabout way?" Dong Babaizang cursed.
Finally, Shiro Yoshikawa, the third one who jumped out of the trench, finally learned to be smart. He did not "combat against the wind" against the guns of the tanks, but detoured from the side, using the cover of the terrain to cleverly approach a t-26. With a loud bang, Shiro Yoshikawa turned into blood mist, and the t-26 also turned into a Mercedes-Benz fireball.
"Excellent! Come on, come again!"
With the order from Higashibazaki, three or four Japanese soldiers who were not afraid of death jumped out of the fox pit at the same time and approached the group of tanks that were running towards the Mercedes. Except for one unlucky ghost who was killed by a little slow movement, the other two Japanese soldiers successfully completed the work of meat bullets.
Under the flesh-fire offensive of the Japanese soldiers who were not afraid of death, the vanguard of the first Tank Division began to hesitate and slowly retreated, because the Red Army had not seen such a life-threatening style of fighting. The tanks lost in just over ten minutes exceeded the sum of the past five days, and they didn't want a way to curb the Japanese soldiers' flesh-fire tactics. The loss would be very large when fighting with tanks. After all, whether it is bt-1 or t-26, it is much more valuable than the Japanese's life! It is not cost-effective to fight like this!
"Let the artillery suppress the enemy and let the infantry go together!"
Soon, Sergei Leonidvich Sokolov, the commander of the 1st Battalion of the 10th Regiment of the 10th Regiment of the Tank Division, made the correct decision. Instead of continuing to let his tanks rush hard, he asked the 1st Platoon of the 2nd Battalion of the 30th Regiment, which they were assigned to fight together, to jointly attack.
But what Sokolov didn't expect was that his arrangements could not be implemented at all: "Company Commander, Comrade Gregory said that his young man didn't care about our side for the time being. The 3rd Company also encountered an enemy attack. According to the battalion commander, they must give priority to supporting the Third Company."
Sokolov raised his telescope and looked at the third company. Sure enough, they fought fiercely with the enemy. The young men in the 30th Regiment were on the line of fire, so it was impossible for them to help them for the time being. Sokolov was very depressed about this situation. His company was all tanks. Although he was very powerful and mighty when charging, without the help of infantry, they could not defend the position and could not seize the position. In fact, in the previous few days of combat, the problem of the tank troops lacking infantry support had been exposed, causing many unnecessary losses and sacrifices.
"Come to me the battalion commander... Battalion commander, I am Sokolov. The enemy's resistance is extremely cruel. I lack infantry support here. I cannot destroy the enemy with tanks alone!"
But Sokolov's battalion commander was helpless. He did not have any spare infantry at hand. In fact, the motorized infantry regiment assigned to the 1st Tank Division had been split. In addition to leaving a battalion and the regiment's direct troops as the division headquarters, the other two battalions were divided equally between the 10th and 11th Regiments. However, for tank soldiers, the infantry support was still too much. Several Japanese counterattacks made the pure tank troops very embarrassed.
Moreover, the motorized infantry assigned to the tank troops also faces many problems. Compared with the tank troops with good off-road capabilities, the off-road capabilities of wheeled trucks are very limited. Most of the time, the motorized infantry can only use two legs to chase the tank's tracks. It is often exhausted by the infantry and the combat effectiveness is very bad. Anyway, the motorized infantry complains and asks the superiors to send them better cars, otherwise there is no way to fight this battle.
Of course, this requirement is basically impossible to be agreed upon. It is not only that the equipment department does not have the vehicle that the infantry wants. Even if there is one, how can I change the equipment at a fierce battle? In fact, infantry is just a pain, just to let the superior know that they are very tired, just to give a foreshadowing for new vehicles in the future.
Moreover, the smart Red Army soldiers also thought of a temporary solution to the problem, which was to let the infantry sit on the tank and attack together. Although this method is indeed not a fundamental solution to the problem, it is OK to make do with it temporarily. Even if the "naked" infantry are at a high risk of being exposed to enemy fire strikes, it is better than using 11 tracks to chase tracks?
However, this only solved the problem that the infantry worked too hard. This local method cannot solve the problem of the tank troops of the First Army of Mechanized Infantry lacking infantry support. This is fundamental and cannot be solved without adjustment of the organization.
At this time, Rokosovsky remembered Li Xiaofeng's warning before departure. The old superior said nothing. Tank troops without infantry support are also waterless fish and cannot exert their maximum combat power.
"When will the 82nd Infantry Division arrive at the battlefield?" Rokosovsky urged.
His chief of staff replied: "According to Comrade Buluhell, the division has just got off the train and is being transported to the battlefield. It is optimistic that it will take at least three days to enter the battle!"
This answer made Rokosovsky frown. He had promised Buluhell that even if the 82nd Infantry Division was not in place, the First Mechanized Infantry Army could successfully complete the combat mission. Now, he broke his promise.
As the commander of the first army, Rokosovsky knew very well that he must solve this problem as soon as possible, otherwise the performance of the troops would be even more terrible after the full battle with the Japanese army.
"Send two motorized infantry regiments of the 1st Motor Division to the 1st Tank Division and the 2nd Tank Division, try to make the ratio of tanks and infantry for frontal assaults one to one, and also send a call to Comrade Buluheer and ask him to support us one to two infantry regiments..."
When Rokosovsky's request was placed on Buluhell's desk, the marshal was not very happy. Since the war began, he had been observing the performance of the First Army of Mechanized Infantry. He had always wanted to see if the mechanized infantry that Tukhachevsky had fiddled with was really so magical.
Now, judging from the performance in the battle, it seems that the mechanized infantry is over-the-speak. The entire mechanized infantry First Army seemed very chaotic in the battle. After a regular rush and fierce attack, it was forced to retreat.
Especially, after only a few days since the war started, Rokosovsky asked him for assistance. Are mechanized infantry really so fragile?
"Did Comrade Constantine say why he needs reinforcements?" Buluhell asked with a frown.
"Comrade Constantine believes that his troops are equipped with problems. The number of tanks is too large and the number of infantry supporting the battle is too small, which makes it impossible to defend even if it can break through the enemy's position in the previous battle... In his words, he is willing to use two tank regiments to exchange for two infantry regiments with you!"
Buluhel smiled. He was not sure if the mechanized infantry performed poorly. However, Rokosovsky was able to make active adjustments instead of being stupid and doing nothing, which means he was still a qualified commander. Moreover, judging from the tone of Rokosovsky's speech, the problem of the First Army of Mechanized Infantry is not that serious. It should be a period of sharpening when new tactics move to the battlefield. What is mechanized infantry like? It can be observed.
"I have approved his request, and I will draw two infantry regiments from the reserve team to him. Well, don't forget to tell Comrade Constantine that he owe me two tank regiments now!"
Bruuker is still able to joke, which also means that he is optimistic about the situation. Otherwise, with his temper, he might rush into Rokosovsky's military headquarters and scold him, and even take over Rokosovsky's command directly.
"How is the progress of the cavalry?" Buluhell asked again.
"The 4th Cavalry Division is trying to attack the enemy 23rd Division from behind. Today's fire reconnaissance results will be reported to you later. As for the 1st Cavalry Division and the 2nd Cavalry Division, the battle reports of 16 o'clock have not made much progress. They were blocked by the enemy's 7th Division. Facing the enemy's strong defense line, they are still waiting for the support of the artillery troops..."
"Tsk..."
The smile on Buluhell's face disappeared completely. The two cavalry divisions attacked an infantry division that had rushed to build a position. After two days of fighting, there was no big progress. This was not a good phenomenon.
A haze flashed across Buluheer's face and continued to ask, "Where is the enemy's reinforcements?"
"Hairal's enemy 14th Brigade is moving closer to the battlefield. Although the Air Force has tried its best to attack them, the enemy is extremely tenacious. Judging from the air reconnaissance, the Air Force's bombing effect is not good. Neither TB-1 nor TB-3 are suitable for performing such tasks."
Buluhell actually heard Nikitin's complaints. The frontline aviation lacked dive bombers and medium bombers and could not accurately strike ground targets. The bombing of tb-1 and tb-3 can only play a harassing role.
Just when Buluheer was about to propose to the Military Commission and to draw some attack aircraft from other military regions, his intelligence adviser said: "Comrade Commander, I must also remind you that according to air reconnaissance, the enemy's tank troops are approaching the battlefield. If nothing unexpected happens, they will soon join the enemy's 7th Division. Comrade Timuxin will be under greater pressure at that time!"
This is bad news! Buluheer lamented in his heart, but he immediately responded and personally called Timuxin Ge... (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
