No one has as many bricks and no one has a big house. And when there is no time to repair fortifications, squatting in a pit is tantamount to courting death. Artillery is the god of war. (In the absence of airplanes) Cai E's troops almost failed in this battle.

It has all the miserable conditions mentioned above. Therefore, it is definitely not possible to retreat. The infantry and hastily established defenses

Lines can only be used to defend important areas, such as artillery positions, medicine storage points, and command posts. There is no way to form a continuous line of defense. Since static defense is not possible, we can only take the initiative to harass and consume the opponent's strength.

To delay time. At least to prevent the opponent's main force and heavy artillery troops from entering.

Any unit is vulnerable to attack before it is deployed. Especially this slightly strange Russian mobile corps. Although it is equipped with a large number of horses, it is not very fast. The reason is very simple. This fast unit is equipped with many over-staffed troops.

weapons, such as 107mm cannons and large-caliber howitzers. For example

There are a large number of combat defense artillery. Judging from the firepower on paper, they are definitely quite powerful. However, the transportation problems caused by these heavy equipment have greatly delayed the speed of the Russian army. So the so-called speed is a bit exaggerated.

Of course, there are advantages as well as disadvantages. Once these killer weapons are deployed, the combat effectiveness will be terrifying.

"According to the airship's reconnaissance information, the Russian army should have a large number of armored troops. Why can't they see it? The forward and the front cordon are mainly cavalry. They won't be waiting for us somewhere, right?" Zhang Tianyi was a little confused.

He asked doubtfully. The task of the reinforcement battalion he led was to attack the Russian advancing troops from the flank.

There is nothing scary about the cavalry. What is scary is the light combat artillery and the Russian armored forces. With an absolute disadvantage in numbers and a long-distance attack without backup, being ambushed means failure. So he had to be cautious.

.After the results came out, Zhang Tianyi found the answer quite shocking!

"The Russians took out about half of their tanks and used them to tow artillery!" After hearing these words from the staff officer, Zhang Tianyi felt that his jaw almost dropped. The tank was directly downgraded to an artillery tractor?! No wonder he saw it

There are no Russian tanks. They are all hiding in the back. But this is not to blame the Russians. The Russians do not have tractors with enough power.

, if you use horse power to pull it, basically 8 horses pull a 107mm heavy artillery, which is a pace that exhausts one horse a day, and the speed is not enough. The armored vehicle must also go to the front line, and it can be used as a tractor. But in this way

.The Russians lost their last reliable rapid reaction force, and at the same time it also facilitated the Chinese Army's attack!

A cavalry team towing 47mm and 57mm rapid-fire guns and an escorting battalion of cavalry were slowly advancing. Their mission was to quickly deploy after arriving at the front line to cover the follow-up troops. But what the Russians did not expect was that the Chinese Army would actually do this.

He was bold and raised his butcher knife against the Russian army far away from the position. When passing by

When they were on the hills, a large number of No. 1 tanks equipped with 37mm rapid-fire guns suddenly rushed out from the hills. These sudden steel monsters did not cause panic among the Russians. Most of the cavalry dismounted, and some others took a detour to the two wings.

Launch a search. At the same time, the artilleryman unhooks the gun mount and prepares to defend against the oncoming Chinese Army tanks!

As the monopod of the rapid-fire gun was placed, the 47mm and 57mm guns were aimed in the direction of the No. 1 tank's assault. The Russian gunner carefully estimated the distance between the two sides through the sight, and quietly waited for the other party to enter the effective firing range.

The No. 1 tank drove forward slowly. When the distance was less than 2km,

At this moment, these tanks suddenly turned and detoured to the other side. At the same time, several No. 1 assault guns half-buried in the pit in the distance stretched out their short and thick barrels. The 75mm high-explosive gun fired from the barrel.

It flew out and shattered the exposed and relatively close anti-tank artillery into pieces, opening a gap for the intruding Chinese armored forces!

"Get on your horse and blow them up with explosives!" The biggest problem with the monopod is that once it is placed, the horizontal adjustment angle of the artillery will be extremely small. Other combat defense artillery cannot make up for this gap. They can only use the flesh and blood of the cavalry.

To delay time, a large number of Russian cavalry carried explosive packs or cluster grenades and launched a desperate charge. Several No. 1 tanks were forced to reverse while using their 37mm cannon to shoot at the advancing cavalry.

A cannon flew out of the muzzle in seconds, drawing a trail of death in the air. The air-exploded grenades formed flowers of death above the cavalry group, and the prefabricated steel balls penetrated at extremely high speeds.

Through the men and horses, the charging cavalry was swept away in pieces like mowing grass. But soon, along with

The cavalry began to disperse, and it was only a matter of minutes for these four-legged things to rush over from a distance of more than 1,000 meters! As the last shot was fired from the gun barrel, several tanks inevitably experienced a fire interruption.

At this time, piercing screams came from the air!

The mortars in the rear row of the assault gun successfully connected with the firepower interruption caused by the tank. Four 80mm mortars poured towards the tank at a high rate of fire of more than 8 rounds per minute. Yes, you read that right, these

The scale of the mortar is the one that was suddenly used before.

The tank is set up. All the guns will completely cover the entire vicinity of the tank, directly mowing down the charging cavalry! Air-burst shrapnel and high-explosive grenades will completely break up the Russian cavalry's attack sequence. Even if there are a few fish that slip through the net,

I definitely don’t have the guts to continue attacking.[

The high explosion fired at the highest rate of fire in a short period of time completely defeated the Russian attack. The precise strike like a storm instantly scattered half a battalion of Russian cavalry. "When we thought we were about to win, the opponent used precise

The shelling tells us that everything is as they expected, and the advancing warriors

The closest distance to the opponent's tank was only 20 meters. But at this distance, groups of soldiers were torn to pieces by machine guns and sudden mortar fire. They actually targeted their own tanks! The dense fragments hit the sides of the tanks.

on the steel plate, and then kept jumping and counterattacking." A Russian officer said afterwards with lingering fear.

With the failure of this wave of assaults, the Russian army's mobile strength dropped significantly. The originally thick formation became very thin, and the cover and anti-artillery strength was not enough. However, the Russians finally re-aimed their flat-fire cannons at the target. But very quickly

Quick, the Russians sadly discovered that just now the artillery

In the direction they turned, another group of tanks rushed out, and judging from the number, these newly appeared tanks were the main force of the opponent! Each tank platoon formed a wedge-shaped square and rushed towards the opponent, and this time, the Russians

The army did not have enough cavalry and infantry to buy it precious time.

This attack was obviously well thought out. The opponent had quite a lot of anti-war artillery, at least 15. There were also a large number of cavalry and baggage troops, which was much more numerous than Zhang Tianyi's reinforced battalion. And

With the cooperation of infantry. In this case, after the armored troops rush forward, they will not only

You have to be wary of the opponent's battle defense artillery and the infantry's explosive packs. Although the 75mm short gun of the No. 1 assault gun is very powerful, it can suppress the opponent's light artillery through continuous shooting. However, the number of guns is limited and cannot be used sparingly, so Zhang

Tianyi formulated this plan to lure the enemy based on the situation.

To this end, these tanks responsible for luring the enemy have also been specially protected. The thick skirt armor ensures that there will be no problem if the mortar is lost at close range in time. As for the situation where you say it falls directly and hits the top of the tank, this rifle

Even the howitzers can't do it. If the smoothbore mortar can do it, it will be really awesome.

Destiny. After repeated consumption, the Russian army's defense force was obviously insufficient. When faced with a real impact, most of the flat-fire cannons were destroyed before they had time to readjust their positions. Some of the cannons were not knocked out.

, but the personnel were shattered into pieces by the 37mm high explosives that hit white hair every minute.

In the smoke and fire, the entire transport convoy was quickly cut into several sections. After all threatening artillery was destroyed, the Chinese Army rationally stopped the bombardment and switched to using machine guns to clean up the remaining enemies. There was no way

The thing is, the rate of fire of caliber rapid-fire cannons is really too high. Zhang Tianyi can't defeat him in just one wave, and he has to save his medicine to find the next target.

It is not just Zhang Tianyi's battalion that launches the active attack. The task of these specially strengthened independent armored units is to select the opponent's high-value targets to attack. They are a complete firepower system. The entire armored battalion has 36 vehicles of various types. In addition to

In addition to 24 Panzer 1 tanks

, there are also 4 No. 1 assault guns, 4 mortar trucks, and 4 medicine delivery and fuel trucks. It combines horizontal and curved firepower. It also has some supply capabilities. However, the biggest problem is the insufficient number of infantry.

It is common for the tank to be shot away, otherwise it will be entangled, and the tank will be killed by the infantry.

Faced with his own problems and the constant blows from the Chinese Army, Linevich's path was a miserable one. The artillery units and baggage troops were hit repeatedly. The cavalry could only serve as an early warning, and it was uncertain whether it was timely. After all, the cavalry was

There were no wires, so we could only rely on people to transmit information. The other party could not report in time if it changed the route. As a result, the Russians thought that the opponent was preparing to attack a unit, but when the messenger was sent to this unit,

After sending the information, he suddenly heard that another nearby unit was in trouble. Various false alarms occurred one after another. Later, Linevich had no choice but to shrink his troops and deploy combat anti-artillery positions along the way to deal with them.

The elusive armored troops also once again recruited a group of cars and horses to solve the transportation problem. The freed up armored troops made it much more difficult for Zhang Tianyi and the others to move.

After taking twice as long as expected, the Russian mobile troops finally arrived on the battlefield. In front of them was a battle group composed of two Chinese armored brigades. Linevich did not launch an attack immediately.

The opponent is right in front of you, in front of the armored troops and cavalry.

, the scattered enemy army could not outrun the wheels and four-legged horses. This battlefield was very unsuitable for defense, and it was unrealistic to retreat using alternate cover, because the opponent could easily bypass the defense line and continue to pursue, so Linevich

There is plenty of time to set up an attack.
