"The first phase of the entire campaign will be divided into two main battlefields. The first battlefield is the Army Armored Group commanded by General Peng Yi on the northern front. We will mobilize three armored divisions and one armored brigade to the northern front as a means of encirclement and suppression.

The main force of the Russian mobile force. At the same time, we will also transfer the military heavy artillery and heavy infantry artillery from the northern line to strengthen our offensive firepower. At the same time, the fortress artillery unit and the train artillery unit will attack the Nerchinsk Fortress.

The attack on the core area of ​​the Nerchinsk Fortress is about to begin. The main task of the heavy artillery unit is to clear out all the large-caliber heavy artillery that can be found. I will be responsible for suppressing the core area of ​​the Nerchinsk Fortress. General Peng Yi will be responsible for the operations on the northern front.

, and General Ma Yukun will be responsible for attacking the remaining Russian troops on the southern front." Nie Shicheng explained the principles of the entire combat plan, and the rest depends on the tactics of the generals on each front.

The first is the Northern Front Attack Group commanded by Peng Yi. Armored troops drawn from other fronts have begun to assemble to the Northern Front via the railway. This will be the largest attack in the history of the armored forces of the Chinese Republic. In this battle, the Chinese Army is no longer satisfied.

Use the armored unit not as an attacking spearhead, but as a heavy hammer that can crush the opponent's defenses!

In the previous battle, Peng Yi was keenly aware of the poor logistics supply and low deployment capabilities of the Russian mobile forces. The number of Russian armored forces was obviously insufficient. Although there were many lightweight anti-tank guns, they were

Transporting them to the battlefield and deploying them is undoubtedly a very troublesome task. And deploying these weapons also takes time, and even more

The most important thing is to find the direction in which the Chinese armored forces will attack. Although the Russians won the contact battle between the two sides, they also made many misjudgments in attacking, which led to their own positions being taken over. When people discovered that the enemy on the opposite side

When the tank rushed over, it discovered that its muzzle could not be turned at all! So a surprise attack is also the key to victory.

The most common way for armored forces to engage in combat is to fight in a wide field without defensive facilities. In this case, mobility and appropriate firepower and protection will become the key to victory. According to Peng Yi, armored forces now need

Throw away all unnecessary items, including heavy artillery and various logistics units that can be reduced. Use every bit of space in the vehicle body to carry fuel and ammunition.

The entire battle process is divided into two phases. The first phase will be an attack by two armored brigades, whose mission is to conduct a probing attack and lure the opponent's mobile troops to attack. The attack direction is close to the Nerchinsk Fortress Group, and the main target is the transfer station.

The main purpose is to station troops. In this case, the Russian army is likely to choose

Troops were mobilized from the fortress and the southern front to carry out attacks from two directions. The main task of this armored brigade wedged into the opponent's position was to block the opponent's flanking attack and gain time for the main force to detour behind the Russian mobile corps mobilized from the southern front.

After eating this elite force, the entire campaign will enter the second stage.

In the second phase, Peng Yi's armored forces will cooperate with Ma Yukun's troops from the side and rear to complete the segmentation and encirclement of the Russian right wing. The armored forces will take full advantage of their mobility and attack artillery positions, command centers and material transfer stations from the rear.

Launch an attack and block the opponent's way of escaping north to the fortress. After completely wiping out the Russian field corps, some of the Chinese armored forces will continue to cooperate with Nie Shicheng in launching a siege. The remaining troops will be responsible for occupying the territory.

flag!

Ma Yukun's troops were responsible for attacking the Russian field corps on the southern front. Since there was no cooperation from the armored troops, Ma Yukun deliberately strengthened the artillery firepower. After many battles, it can be known that a successful artillery strike does not depend on the total projection amount.

How much depends on the total amount of projectile per unit time. A dozen shells and one shell can be shot in one minute.

It is definitely not a concept to fire a dozen artillery shells in an hour. So Ma Yukun tried his best to concentrate enough artillery in the breakthrough area. Because he got some extra artillery, Ma Yukun decided to deploy more than 45 artillery pieces per kilometer in the main assault area.

of various artillery pieces. They will provide adequate fire cover for the infantry.

The second is to pay attention to the cooperation of direct-fire artillery and flat-fire artillery. After many battles, the Chinese Army discovered that the mortar that they thought was omnipotent is not really omnipotent. This thing is absolutely good at dealing with swarming infantry when it is in a defensive state.

But moving in

When attacking, it is difficult to go high and low. The first problem is that the range of the mortar is limited. It is impossible to hit the opponent from the first line of defense to the last line of defense like the howitzer. The mortar needs to constantly accompany the troops moving forward, and

Moving forward involves supply issues.

This is what someone will say. Any artillery that accompanies infantry must consider supply. Why do we have to take out mortars to argue? The reason is very simple. The accuracy of smoothbore mortars is relatively low, so when attacking a bunker,

You need to use a covering attack method. The bunker is not a person. People can be killed by shrapnel. But a direct hit from the bunker will not

It may not be possible. War is a two-way choice process. The Russians, who have been fighting for many years, have also discovered that the Chinese Army has a lot of direct firepower. Therefore, they specially strengthened the top protection of the bunker. This allows mortars to destroy the opponent's

The difficulty has skyrocketed. In addition, the accuracy is not very good, and the logistics requirements are too great!

At this time, the advantages of flat-fire cannons are revealed. First of all, in terms of attack effect, although the front of the bunker is small, the accuracy of flat-fire cannons is relatively high. However, the firing range is not farther than that of mortars. Therefore, the consumption of ammunition will be higher.

It's much smaller than a mortar. Secondly, you can make the horizontal part of the bunker into an iron plate.

Block, but you have to open shooting holes in the front of the bunker? This results in a decrease in the frontal defense. Under repeated attacks from high-speed flat-fire cannons, even the thickest bunker can be broken open. For example, in World War II, the Germans

I used 88 guns to repeatedly attack some of the fortresses on the Maginot Line, and the effect was pretty good.

Therefore, at this stage of the attack, the Chinese Army's artillery will be used to attack bunkers with flat-fire cannons and use mortars to suppress the infantry in the opponent's trenches. As for the 6-inch and 8-inch heavy howitzers, they will be used to deal with Russian positions.

In addition to strengthening artillery, Ma Yukun was also very careful in the selection of assault troops, and some flat-fire cannons were removed.

was issued to the assault troops, and in order to shorten the assault distance as much as possible, the Chinese Army began to advance the starting position forward. The sound of digging soil was heard every day. At the beginning, the Russian army planned to use artillery to counterattack, but then it was attacked by 6-inch howitzers and

Counterattack with various firepower including 105mm cannon. So the result is that the more we fight the Russians, the more we suffer.

As for the offensive troops, in addition to carrying commonly used weapons such as machine guns, rifles and submachine guns, they also carry a large amount of explosive equipment. After all, some things such as small bunkers and minefields cannot be solved by artillery, and fighting in trenches

, some places also require directional blasting. Under the cover of artillery, these elite infantry will become the knives that tear apart the opponent's defense line. After tearing it apart, they will complete the division and encirclement.

After destroying the integrity of the opponent's position, the main force will then be sent to crush the already divided Russian army, and cooperate with Peng Yi's armored forces to finally eat up the Russian army's southern field troops. And after completely solving the southern

After lining up with the Russian army, Ma Yukun and Peng Yi also had a common task, which was to plant flags and occupy the land. At the same time, they also had to send a main force into the vicinity of Chita to encircle another major Russian stronghold.

As for Nie Shicheng? He holds the most powerful artillery strike group in the Chinese Army. These train guns, fortress guns and heavy mortars with a caliber generally above 10 inches will become the terminator of the Nerchinsk Fortress. These heavy guns will first

Clear out the opponent's fortress heavy artillery groups one by one. Then separate some of the 8-inch artillery howitzers to destroy the communication lines connecting the various support points. Separate these nails one by one from a complete defense system and finally destroy it.

.

In addition to these high-cost and powerful super heavy artillery, Nie Shicheng also added a mobile multi-functional infantry artillery unit. This unit is a 152mm self-propelled infantry artillery modified from the No. 1 tank! When this kind of super deformed vehicle appears

, Nie Shicheng kept muttering in his heart, put a lot of people on this small site

Is a 152mm heavy infantry gun okay? It’s absolutely top-heavy! The so-called protection is an iron box with nothing else at all, and the car can only hold 2 rounds of artillery shells! The bracket must be placed when firing. The reliability is also poor.

It's worse. According to Nie Shicheng, this kind of thing should not be installed!

But there is a saying that a good plaster can pull out pus. Although this thing has various problems, it has one biggest advantage, that is, it can launch a 100kg special reinforced concrete armor-piercing projectile! This projectile weighs as much as

Although the shooting range of the 203mm howitzer is relatively close, in terms of power, it is larger than the ordinary 8-inch grenade! And this thing is convenient

It is suitable and has certain mobility. Not to mention in China, is there such a weapon in the world that can throw 100kg artillery shells 3km away and can follow the infantry in combat! This kind of weapon can both shoot flatly and be used as a siege force when necessary.

Artillery guns are very useful in siege battles. Not only are they used by siege troops, but the troops of Peng Yi and Ma Yukun are also equipped with some that can be used as close-range weapons.

"If that's the case, let's just make do with it. It's just a battle anyway." Nie Shicheng thought for a while and said. However, this idea is still possible. Sometimes what the attacking troops need is a kind of shooting range that is not too far but powerful enough.

, a weapon that can shoot both horizontally and in a straight direction. A 152mm self-propelled infantry gun is needed, but obviously the site needs to be replaced with a larger one.
