Chapter 787 (1) The battle of hand-to-hand combat begins

Since the coalition forces had already experienced the solidity of the fortresses and fortifications built by the Germans when seizing the first trench-style defense line near the border, the field artillery corps of Tanaka Tauga King did not take great pains to concentrate the artillery fire on bombarding the opponent's strong fortifications, but focused on attacking the opponent's traffic trenches and field fortifications and areas suspected of covering the hidden troops...

The effect is unknown, but all the burning parts on the opponent's position are burning, which makes the field artillery corps in Tianaka a little comfort... As for how many Ukrainians on the opposite position that bombed and eliminated, only God knows...

The attacks launched by more than 3,600 coalition infantry under the hot machine gun fire and long-range artillery fire obviously brought great pressure to the defense side. Originally, the killer weapon of the defensive position of the Ukrainian Volunteer 2nd Brigade was the hundreds of solid fortresses and machine gun fortifications. After all, the opponent's 75mm field artillery shells could not do anything to him. The difficulty of the 75mm mountain cannon accurately hit the shè port at 1,800 meters is quite large. This distance is within the range of the mg08 heavy machine gun. Although it is impossible to aim at the shè, after all, the high speed of mg08 is dense, and even if the mountain cannons are splashed like rain, the mountain cannons of the army are still constantly in casualties. レ.siluke.♠ ♥ Road &c BS; Ke レ

However, the performance of the coalition's m191837aa high-cannon/anti-tank gun after the battle was very different. Compared with the slow 75mm mountain cannon, the coalition's 37mm high-cannon anti-tank gun was much faster, which means that at a distance of 1,800 meters, a coalition's 37mm high-cannon can adjust the continuous firepower while striking, and send armor-piercing bombs and high-explosive grenades into the fortifications of the defenders.....

This posed a fatal threat to the fortifications and fortresses on the 2nd Brigade of the Volunteer Team on the defensive side. Strictly speaking, this M191837aa high-speed gun of the coalition forces is just a single-barrel high-level dual-purpose high-speed gun. As the last set-up of the 37mm series gun in the Xuanhua Arsenal Artillery workshop during the development of the 37mm series gun, this gun is installed on a special chassis that can rotate 360 ​​degrees.

The key is that the cannon developed and produced by China's Xuanhua Arsenal can use the following ammunition specially developed for shè attacks:

m1918apc armor-piercing grenade and m1918hc high-explosive grenade

These two latest ammunitions have given the Chinese m191837 series of guns, which are much more powerful than the Germans' 20mm small-caliber high-shè cannon, and even surpass the Germans' old 57mm high-shè cannon.

The 18 coalition forces' high cannons were shown when the defending forces were inevitably shaken. On the 4-kilometer front, the Ukrainian fortifications were pierced and destroyed one after another by the coalition forces' fortifications. Of course, the outer wall of the opponent's fortifications could not be penetrated directly and penetrated. However, once they entered the fortifications, it would be a purgatory and nightmare of the defensive machine gun team...

In just ten minutes, 18 coalition high-speed guns hit at least 10 Ukrainian machine gun fortifications, and the attack distance was 1,800 meters away, which made the Ukrainian mortars who risked their lives to fight back with 7.6cm German light infantry mortars... The counterattack of the mg08 heavy machine gun in the hands of the machine gunners of the Volunteer 2nd Brigade looked quite pale, and the contest between the 7.92 and 37mm was not on the same starting line at all... Even every Ukrainian fortification that dared to strike at the high-speed gun position became the first choice target of the coalition high-speed gun, and the flames sprayed on the trunk were the best sign.

With just a little effort, the six main federal infantry battalions that the coalition forces attacked had advanced to about 600 meters away from the Ukrainian positions. The sound of "Ula" in the mountains and tsunamis was clearly visible. Of course, due to the terrain, the north of Kharkov city was in a high north and the south bottom. This is also the reason why the Lopan River, Yudi River, and Kharkov River converged from north to south in the low-lying Kharkov.

The worst thing is that until this time, the large group of coalition fighter jets hovering above their heads still did not enter air strikes or bombings, which made the Ukrainian staff members in the entire German-Ukrainian coalition front command anxious. Even several German staff members looked at the battlefield and frowned...

"What should I do? Sven, the coalition forces are not good. Although the opponent's 75mm field cannon cannot do anything to our strong machine gun fortifications, these nearly 20 high shè cannons are too threatening. They can almost knock down one of our machine gun fortresses every minute. How can we defend the position if the opponent's artillery fire is so fierce that if the infantry of the 2nd Brigade of the Volunteer Team enters the trenches, it will become the enemy's living hand!" The Ukrainian Prime Minister tried hard to control his panic, but his hand unconsciously climbed up to the arm of the German major general beside him and cried.

"Commander-in-Chief, General, I think our artillery ambushing in the southern city must open fire in time, otherwise it will be too late to wait until the other party approaches before firing!" A Ukrainian major staff officer couldn't help but shout, and this sentence ushered in a response and echo voice. Several German staff officers nodded softly, and almost everyone in the command center focused on German major general von Neuhaus.

"Let our artillery fire! If it is too late, once the coalition infantry rushed to the position, it will be too late for the 2nd Brigade to retreat..." Simon Petrellah shouted hurriedly, pulling the sleeves of the German major general.

"Ha...War well, the power of this new 37mm high-sized cannon flat-shot is really great... The two high-shot artillery squadrons of the Imperial Army have made great contributions!" The chief of staff of the 3rd Division of Riben, Colonel Ryukari, held a telescope and couldn't hide his joy. The division commander of the lieutenant generals also smiled, thinking in his heart, who said that the Russian generals are all stubborn masters who only know the tactics of the sea of ​​people. This Liu Jin, Alexeyevich, Voroneri still has two brushes. The main force of a brigade and two regiments pressed up under his command was in a consistent manner. In addition, the long-range artillery, m81 mortar and m191837aa high-shot artillery/anti-tank insurgent artillery were organized in a very good manner...
