Having lost their heavy weapons, their troops suffered huge losses, and the rest were dispersed. The artillery had almost made all preparations for the attacking troops. Looking at the dilapidated positions in the distance, Cai E felt bored. Killing a chicken with a sledgehammer.

, this is really overkill, and Cai E immediately returned to command the tank and ordered his armored troops to launch an attack. In the first battle of large-scale use of armored troops, the Chinese Navy will test the sword with the Russian Siberian Army!

Groups of tanks were deployed in company units. At the front was the No. 1 tank equipped with a 37mm POW gun. Behind the tank formation was the No. 1 assault gun equipped with a short 75mm gun. Occasionally there were some equipped with a 47mm long-barreled gun.

Variant tank No. 1, followed by self-propelled mortars and truck guns. This is the Huaxia Army

This is the first armored unit that the army can produce. Since there are no infantry fighting vehicles, most of the infantry accompanying the charge ride on tanks. There are about 4 to 5 infantry on a tank. Their connection with the tank

The method is very simple. Hold a gavel in your hand and make contact according to the pre-established contact method.

According to regulations, they will jump off the battlefield about 400 meters away from the opponent's defense line to prepare for battle. Among the five infantrymen, there are two riflemen, two submachine gunners, and a grenade launcher. This combination ensures that firepower from both distance and near is always available.

, after all, after getting off the car at 400 meters, at such a distance, the submachine gun has no accuracy at all, and the rifle will provide long-distance cover.

, and there are also grenade launchers to match, but after rushing to a distance of less than 150 meters, the role of the battlefield broom of the submachine gun is too obvious! It is enough to clean up the Russian soldiers in the bunker. As for why it is not equipped with a machine gun? On the tank

Why equip the infantry with machine guns when there are already machine guns and rapid-fire artillery? And a combat team of 5 people really doesn't have the capacity to carry machine guns.

As the captain of the team, Lu Ming was very honest and followed the pre-war regulations to stay 400 meters away from the opponent's position. He gently knocked on the turret of the tank, then the tank slowed down, and Lu Ming and his team jumped from the tank.

came down. Two riflemen covered the grenade launchers, ready to deal with the emerging Russian troops, while the two submachine gunners followed.

The tank continued to advance behind it. The battlefield was surprisingly quiet, as if the opposite side was not the opponent's position. The tank slowly slowed down and lowered the gun barrel. The front machine gun controlled by the driver was also aimed at the front, ready to respond to Russian attacks at any time.

.The attack wedge composed of dozens of tanks and hundreds of elite infantry rushed towards the Russian position!

When they were more than 200 meters away from the Russian position, the opponent finally fired a few sparse bullets.

The counterattack was extremely fragile, and there was no organized resistance at all. At most, there were only a dozen Russian troops under the command of company-level officers fighting back in vain. And this was nothing to the Chinese Army, which was armed to the teeth! At the head of the team

The tanks don't even use rapid-fire cannons. They just use the front machine gun to continuously fire at the enemies exposed in the trenches. For some Russian troops who are in more tricky positions, a single grenade from the grenade at the back can basically take care of them.

After using his submachine gun to kill a Russian soldier who was holding a grenade and preparing to launch a suicide attack, Lu Ming raised his head and looked at the surrounding situation. He couldn't help but curse out: "A bunch of lazy guys. Those who don't know better still think that

We are out shopping!" Lu Ming came down honestly. However, a small number of infantrymen were still on the chariot. In a daze, Lu Ming felt that he was not fighting but out for an outing!

The No. 1 tank and the elite infantry swept through the Russian defense line like a harvester in a wheat field. The Russian troops scattered in the trenches were unable to stop the resistance. Some people held bundles of grenades with red eyes and prepared to launch suicide attacks.

, but then they were swept away by elite infantry equipped with charge, and the tanks used machine guns to clear out the landmark positions.

Finally, under the cover of submachine gunners, the elite infantry moved deep into the trenches in squad units to mop up the remaining enemies. After breaking through the outer positions, the battlefield troops did not stop and began to advance toward shelters slightly behind the positions. These shelters are generally used as shelters.

The starting position and living place. There are also a small number of Russian officers and soldiers and command personnel who have not made it out.

Faced with these relatively solid fortifications, the 37-gun equipped on the Chinese Army's No. 1 tank naturally cannot easily destroy it. The assault gun equipped with a 75mm short gun at the back can be tried, but obviously, the attack in front will not be able to destroy it easily.

The group does not want this military exploit to fall into the hands of others! Tank No. 1

The French machine gun fired out tongues of flame to form a dense firepower that locked the opponent's shooting hole. After a few smoke grenades were thrown, a group of infantrymen carrying blasting tubes or explosive bags began to rush forward, quickly under the double cover of smoke and firepower.

Get close, then use blast tubes and explosives to take out these fortifications.

Accompanied by bursts of dull explosions, acrid smoke spewed out from the openings of each bunker, mixed with the smell of blood. Occasionally, several bunkers would be torn apart by violent explosions.

It was foreseen that these places should be ammunition depots or remaining heavy firepower points. With the follow-up of the infantry, the entire position finally changed hands. From the armored troops launching the attack to the last resisting Russian army being killed, the whole process only took more than 20 minutes.

!

The outer defense line collapsed very quickly. After easily breaking through the position, the armored troops were divided into three groups. One group continued to advance for reconnaissance, while the other two groups attacked the two wings to expand the breach so that the subsequent infantry could follow up. At the same time,

You can wait for the subsequent supplies. Although this result allows the vast majority of officers and soldiers to arrive

It was unexpected, but it was normal for Cai E. One of his brigade attacked the opponent's two battalions, and he suddenly launched an attack when the artillery preparation was extremely successful, so it was not difficult to destroy the opponent's forward defense. Even the Russian army attacked the most advanced ones.

The breakthrough was not a big shock, because their core defense line is the second line!

"The second line of defense is about 3 kilometers away from the forward position. There is a minefield in front of the position, and it is equipped with some small-caliber artillery, a large number of mortars and machine guns, and there is a ring fortification group, and there are many more defenders.

Few, there should be one group after another in front of us

A battalion. If we charge hard, it will definitely not work. I will feign a frontal attack and outflank the two wings. The main fort at the core of the opponent's position cannot be directly destroyed. We will fight at the end. After suppressing the opponent's firepower, we will use engineering blasts to solve the problem." Cai E will have several battalions under his command.

Changzhao ordered after coming over.

If the core position of the Russian army's second line of defense is a turtle shell, then the surrounding trenches and bunkers are the limbs of this turtle. The only difference is that this turtle is dead and cannot retract its limbs.

In this case, facing the Chinese armored forces that lack the ability to fight to the death, the best choice is to avoid the hardest part, cut off its limbs, and finally use heavy artillery and blasting to solve the core position.

After the infantry reinforcements took over the position, Cai E's 1st Armored Brigade attacked again. Cai E pulled out 80% of the tanks to circle around the two wings, while in the center was a fire support formation consisting mainly of assault guns and heavy mortars.

The opponent is composed of regiments and battalions, with several times more troops than the first line of defense, and better firepower configuration. This is the best litmus test to test the assault capability of the armored forces!

"Our 6-inch guns must be used to suppress the opponent's artillery, so we can only rely on ourselves. We have to use speed and intensive firepower to quickly impact and cut the opponent's defense line. When they are integrated, it is difficult for us to fight, but

As long as we can divide it, we can gain local strength advantage. When our tanks discover the opponent's firepower point, they can

Those that are destroyed must be destroyed as soon as possible, and those that cannot be destroyed must be moved quickly. Those that cannot be destroyed can be detoured or handed over to more professional troops. In short, time will determine everything. Our time can only be used for insertion and attack. Any

Any hesitation will lead to very serious consequences." Before launching the final attack, Cai E repeatedly emphasized the principle of armored attack.

This principle was quickly conveyed to the entire armored assault brigade. Immediately, the two armored battalions on both sides began to attack, smashing hard towards the opponent's flanks like two fists of one person! From the Chinese Army's artillery attack to the armored forces' impact on the second

defense line, there was nearly an hour between them, which was enough time for Russia to

People reacted. The Russian soldiers, led by junior officers, made final preparations. The Russian defenses revolved around flat-fire artillery. The sparse and insufficient minefields could not stop the Chinese armored forces, infantry weapons and suicide assault surfaces.

Against an armored unit covered by elite infantry, it's a death sentence.

The flat-fire artillery is concentrated and surrounded by machine gun and mortar positions. The former is used to deal with tanks, while the latter is used to destroy and block infantry. On the periphery are cheap infantry who only have Mosin Nagan rifles. Their mission

Just use flesh and blood to delay the opponent's offensive!

The First Armored Brigade of China must not be careless this time. They are facing a real test. With the sound of bang bang banging on the tank, Zhang Tianyi, who was the spearhead of the left-wing attack, began to slow down the vehicle. This time, he achieved the goal of "free tank"

The guys didn’t dare to be careless. They jumped out of the car 400 meters away and stood next to Zhang Tianyi.

After the tank slowed down, other tanks also performed the same action. The tank slowed down, the personnel got off the vehicle, and the grenade group began to assume. The submachine gun continued to follow, and some of the tanks behind stopped, and the slender barrels rotated and searched.

Possible targets. The tanks on the attack front are ready to move forward after a brief pause!

"Our support units are in place." After seeing the three-way signal bomb in place, Zhang Tianyi nodded and signaled his formation to start attacking. These support units are not common mortars, but a larger caliber mortar.

Cannons, they have a shorter range, but they are also more powerful. They are the kind that either I can’t hit you, but once I hit you, it’s all solved with one shot! This 180mm mortar can only shoot a 70kg shell 500 meters

So these things must be used with care.
