968 The Great Battle of the Far East (5)
ps: Restore updates, no more than ten thousand words every day, and the hero rises!
If you know the terrible things about cannons, there are not many people in the world who are more than Russians. They are used to blowing down their opponents with various amazing shells, but today, they have truly seen what crazy is!
The 18 152mm howitzers seem to not look many, so we have to consider how many people the vanguard of the Russians have and how big the attack front is. Not to mention, the artillery shell technology used by the Zhu family is by no means comparable to other contemporary countries. Its power alone is more than twice as high as the perverted accuracy of "pointing acupoints" twenty kilometers away--when can the large-caliber can bombard and throw grenades at close range as accurately as it is?
Even if the technical level is behind the direct troops at least two generations, the artillery used is not bad after all, and the advanced and excessive radar fire control and forward reconnaissance and school-fire equipment are added to each other. What they end up getting is that every time the three or five groups of shells fall, they take away dozens of Russian lives!
"Boom-buzz!"
Clusters of shells dragged the heart-shaking scream, and the supersonics fell from high altitude like a meteor rushing to the moon. Wherever they passed, dense black clouds and black snow were torn apart wide and short passages. The storm formed a tornado behind, drilling deep into the depths of the black snow that was more than one meter thick on the ground, and blasted away the frozen soil belt as strong as concrete, and then exploded wildly!
The soil blocks containing sand and gravel were rushing at high speed, like thousands of bullets being shot randomly. The thousands of degrees of high temperature produced in an instant evaporate countless tons of frozen snow, while also causing an inexplicable chemical reaction of a large amount of high-quality sulfur compounds inside, and further form a high-temperature corrosive air flow of at least a thousand degrees expanding at hundreds of times, forming huge invading groups with a diameter of hundreds of meters. The cold air around was pushed, making a heart-breaking banging sound, sweeping around like a tide!
The Soviet army trapped in the snow and marched hard, never expected to encounter such a terrible thing. The soldiers who were hit by shells and exploded into pieces or evaporated were not even enough to scream and turned into ashes. But a few people who were licked by high-temperature steam suddenly seemed to jump from the ice cave into the steelmaking furnace. A terrible gas suddenly penetrated the thick cotton coat with a suffocating strange smell and went straight to the skin, and then corroded it unceremoniously!
So, just shouting "heavy artillery attack", the frightened Russian immediately let out a scream of ghosts and wolves howling, and the force that overturned the air waves rose from the ground and flew out a few meters away. Then he rolled all over the ground and teared his clothes to death. The movement was simply impossible for humans to make, and it became even more miserable. It even overshadowed the whistling of the strong wind!
The stable and precise shelling seemed to have no intention of stopping from the beginning. In just over a dozen minutes, the Russian vanguard troops were washed, and the burning fire evaporated the black snow into large clouds of smoke, spreading against the ground, drawing the passing valley like a magical realm.
The Russian, who was stimulating by the high alcoholism, finally woke up and the soldiers in front shouted in horror. They stopped moving forward. They turned around to avoid it, but the supervisory team, who was pressing the formation two kilometers away from the back, pulled the trigger without hesitation and shot the dense bullets at their own people.
The officer in charge of command stared at the flash of the explosion expressionlessly, and even looked coldly at the broken limbs and broken arms through the telescope. There was no slight pity or cruising on his cheeks. He waved his hand and ordered the machine gun to fire, and shouted loudly with a loudspeaker: "Everyone charges forward! No one is allowed to escape, rush up. Kill the enemy, and you will receive supreme merit and personal commendation from Comrade Shi Dalin!"
Cold, ruthless, cruel, ruthless. It is the style that the Maoist army has implemented in this era or for all the time. Whether it is to the enemy or to their own people, they have no sympathy or compassion. It is like the cold wind in Siberia, which makes people feel cold and deeply rooted in the bones!
Praying, crying, cursing, and hiding are useless. Anyone who turns back and attempts to escape, whether it is a soldier or an officer, shoots and kills them!
The forward was blocked, but the troops behind were still rushing forward continuously. Tens of thousands of people and machinery rushed the ground covered by black snow out of several roads. The completely sturdy snow no longer made people stagger. The wheels with anti-slip chains could run on them at several times the speed.
When it was dark, the commander of the 17th Army, Galilovic, was steaming all over and drove to the front of Selenkinsk in a tank. He poked out from above and looked from a distance. He found that the lights were lit and tens of thousands of troops were blocking the forward point. After a long time, he couldn't move much. He couldn't help but frown and asked, "What's going on? I remember that the battle has been launched for almost a day, why are you still there?"
Deputy Major General Konosing, who was in charge of leading the troops to launch an attack, replied panting: "We are blocked by the Chinese artillery fire and tanks! Comrade Commander, their firepower is unexpectedly dense and precise, and the route of progress is filled with the bodies of the casualties!"
Galilovic ignored his embarrassed face and waved his hand fiercely: "Don't emphasize difficulties! In this land, there is no difficulty that can stop the great Soviet Red Army from advancing! Comrade Konosin, you should be very clear about the importance of obtaining the initiative in the war. Our mission does not allow any failure! If you cannot complete it, I will shoot you and change to a capable person to come up!"
Major General Konosing's face turned pale, and then anger ignited by alcohol rushed to his forehead, biting his back teeth and saluted hard: "Yes! I will definitely complete the task. Even if I die, the body must be pounced on the front!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran away with big strides.
Galillovic seemed to have passed away a trivial matter, not like a sentence, which determined that tens of thousands of soldiers and a major general might die. He waved his hand lightly and asked the accompanying staff: "When will our artillery and heavy tank troops come up?"
"At least, we have to wait until tomorrow! Comrade Commander, you know, in such a bad weather, no one can go faster!"
Galilovic nodded with a calm face: "I'll give them ten hours! Before five in the morning, I'll see at least fifty cannons and fifty tanks driving to the front line! Our soldiers cannot charge at the enemy without artillery fire. That's a very irresponsible approach."
"Yes! Comrade Commander's decision is very wise!"
The staff members looked at him with admiration and admiration, as if they were paying homage to a world-class great man.
With such a commander, you can imagine what the next battle will develop.
Major General Konosing took a geep off-road vehicle imported from China and drove to the command of the 17th Army's Forward Division, personally took over the command and issued an order to attack everyone: "Comrades! Don't forget your mission! The great Soviet needs Mongolia as the base for advancement. This land is the position we will always guard. Take it back at all costs and check the battle flag on the top of Ulaanbaatar's tent! No one can stop the 17th Army's advancement! For honor and for Shi Dalin, attack!"
In front, a group of dozens of timid soldiers who fled in fear were killed. A Mongolian regiment commander shouted in the same tone: "Comrades! Don't forget that we are descendants of Genghis Khan. This land is the sacred home that Changshengtian promises us. We will never allow shameless Chinese to occupy her! Like the fearless Mongolian cavalry, rush up bravely and kill them! Fight!"
"Ula!Ula!Ula!"
The crazy shouts resounded again throughout the mountains and snow. In the snow, soldiers with steaming pancakes all over the body rushed out of the snow pit with cold rifles, followed the tanks and infantry fighting chariots, stumbled and stepped on their own bodies and rushed forward!
The deafening shouts seemed particularly loud in the gradually sparse sound of the bomb explosion. A surging force almost stopped the dark snow in the sky. However, when he heard all this, Commander Dong Qiwu looked disdainful and sneered: "Come if you are not afraid of death! I don't have many other things here, there are enough cannon tubes!"
After looking back and asking, he found that the 12 artillery guns belonging to the tank regiment and the 152 howitzers arrived in advance were overheated, but the other two battalions of the artillery regiment were already ready to complete. He ordered: "Let the fire! Bring me all the shells! No one can rest if he doesn't blow the last Russian to death!"
The bursting artillery fire roared again!
After a long preparation, a battalion of 12 203mm heavy howitzers finally made an unprecedented roar! The terrifying warhead with a killing radius of more than 70 meters suddenly burst into dazzling sparks in the dark sky. The raging shrapnel cut the Russian troops who were surrounded in a more irritable manner and chopped them up on the spot!
The next moment, another 122mm rocket launcher battalion also started. All 32-barrel cannon vehicles burst out with thundering, forming a longitudinal killing surface covering several square kilometers, falling from 25 kilometers. All the air explosion killing warheads exploded one after another. In just one minute, hundreds of light balls shone from near to the valley two kilometers wide, and the dense sound was not heard. The drums were rolling forward!
This is really an explosion like the sky collapses and the earth is broken!
The initial air explosion tear opens the airspace of hundreds of meters in diameter, and the countless explosions followed closely like firecrackers and then push forward. The evaporated air was hit one after another and heated up. A lasting light not only illuminates the dark curtain, but also forms a warm mist. The long dragon twists and twitches and moves forward quickly. After one minute, it "runs out" for a full two kilometers, like a black dragon winding in a low altitude, shining light all over, crushing the earth!
The Mongolian soldiers who were shouting "Ula" were riding a low horse trembling with cold under their crotch. They just stepped on the flesh and blood of their comrades in front of them and rushed to the pass with their lives when they were hit by a sudden rocket!
Hundreds of rockets almost integrated and densely killed the terrifying group of destructive power formed by carpet bombing. Not only did they remove the falling snow within a few square kilometers, but the high temperature released made the snow melt and evaporate. The people wrapped inside had no blind spots to avoid. Hundreds of thousands of steel balls and prefabricated fragments attacked from various tricky angles at a terrible speed, and instantly smashed their flesh and blood bodies to pieces!
As the fireworks slowly converge and dissipate, the vast earth was silent except for the sporadic moans!
One group was almost destroyed!
Major General Konosing was really listening to the noise from behind, and the intermittent noise of the phone was simulating the tragic tragedy of the battlefield ahead in his mind, especially the earth-shaking and dense explosions later, which immediately reminded him of the secret rocket weapon "Katyusha" that had just been equipped for a while!
Not long ago, the Бm-13-16 trial production of the 8-rail of the "Communist International" factory in Voronezh was successfully produced. This unprecedented powerful weapon that can launch 16 132mm rockets at one time was released. Once it was released, it immediately aroused unanimous praise from the top and bottom. Even Comrade Shi Dalin appeared in person after hearing this, went to watch the spectacular scene of the volleyball drill, and personally ordered to increase efforts to develop and manufacture this good guy who can be called a "revolutionary weapon"!
Konosing was fortunate to participate in a live-fire drill at that time. He was very impressed by the spectacular scene of the volley that caused a huge explosion. He even remembered the howling rocket engine broke through the air. He didn't expect that now, he was right in front of him and was hit by similar weapons!
The meticulous tactical analysts quickly obtained statistics, and at least 360 rockets exploded, which means that 20 rocket launchers with a scale of Бm-13-16 were attacking at the same time. This number is really amazing. Even the entire Soviet Union and Russia have not more than 10 rocket launchers now! And in front, the vanguard troops rushing up to grab territory. So how many such things should there be in the entire Chinese Corps?!
In addition, the pace was slow, but every time it was earth-shaking, heavy artillery bombardment. Konosing couldn't imagine how terrible the troops in front had suffered!
However, he had no other choice! He took a step back and was shot and moved forward. Although he might be killed, it was better than carrying a reputation of shame and causing his wife, children and descendants to be cleaned!
Gripping his teeth, Konosing deliberately ignored the number of casualties in the report and ordered fiercely: "Don't tell me how many people died, I only want Chuckto! Even if there is only one soldier left, crawl over for me! Continue to attack! As long as the person is not dead, you must persist until dawn!"
When dawn, heavy artillery troops will come up. As long as the enemy in front is restrained and not stopped, no matter how many casualties are spent, it will be better than being rested for a night to wait for the effort!
"Comrade Deputy Commander..." The Chief of Staff opened his mouth, and then realized that he could not try to dissuade him. He was very tactful and silent and kept passing on the same word.
In front, a division's troops were in regiments, and three routes advanced to attack each other, and were blocked between the mountains by a tank regiment and a half-artillery regiment. After a day of fierce battle, more than 5,000 casualties! For the next whole night, none of the two sides stopped moving, and the rumbling explosion continued overnight!
By around four o'clock in the morning, after the Soviet army shot three regiment commanders in a row, a heavy artillery unit finally marched forward exhausted. The first batch of 18 150mm cannons from a battalion even rushed in front of the 105mm cannons of the infantry military, and set up a formation not far from the other party's shell landing point, and made a hurry to prepare!
After this night's tossing, the number of casualties in front accumulated to 70,000 to 8,000. The 75mm field guns, 105mm howitzers and 150mm howitzers equipped by the artillery regiments of the division's artillery regiments also accumulated an objective number. The cannons lined up in front of the position soon exceeded 100!
Even though he was as stubborn as Commander Galinovich, his forehead was thrilled by the numbers reported. However, at this time, he was not very nervous. He firmly refused the request of the artillery in front to open fire, and ordered the rest of the artillery to speed up and move forward. He must arrive at the scheduled location at 5 o'clock, and be ready to open fire together!
This is a crazy way to do it!
The entire 17th Army, alone the direct artillery units, had two 105mm and two 150mm cannon battalions, with a total of 72 guns! And each of the infantry divisions belonging to it also had an artillery regiment composed of 72 guns of various caliber! In this way, even if not all of them were all, according to his requirements, at least more than 300 cannons would be accumulated!
Crazy Russians! Terrible artilleryism!
The 101st Division faced each other, after a day and night of trouble, even Dong Qiwu, who was well prepared, was exhausted. Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, the troops behind arrived to fill the gaps, which was enough to replace them and take turns to rest. With the continuous addition of other forces, there was no problem blocking the attack. The most difficult time passed.
But the more you are at such a critical moment, the more you cannot be taken lightly! After the senior officer training course, he knew very well that the Russians in front of him were the kind of powerful opponents with a rare tenacity, regardless of their lives, powerful weapons and equipment, and an astonishing number. Compared with the Japanese army, who were stubborn but seriously lagging behind in weapons and tactics, it was even more difficult to deal with!
He bit a pepper hard in his mouth. He stimulated his sweat all over his body, repeatedly reminding his subordinates: "Everyone cheers me up! The Russians didn't fire much all night, and they were worried that they were holding back something! Don't attack them successfully!"
The regiment camps below were filled with joy: "Master, please wait and see! We will not be tired even if we make another three days and three nights. No matter how many people come to the Russians, they will be guaranteed that they will never come back!"
Dong Qiwu thought about it and realized that his troops were eager to make contributions and there was no possibility of small victory or complacency. They were eager to "seal the wolf's servants" and expand their territory. How could they capsize their ships in the gutter and fall out at critical moments!
After resting, he turned to inspect all the artillery units coming up one by one. In addition to the artillery battalion of the tank regiments that followed, the division's direct artillery regiments and each regiment's self-propelled artillery were all in place, and the heavy artillery battalion and rocket artillery battalion also rested. There were also the direct heavy artillery units of the 35th Army, and even the train artillery units, and the ultra-long-range attack units, ready. The various caliber guns lined up in front of the entire Chikto, were not counted as rockets, with about 200 doors, and the smallest one was 105mm!
This terrible power that exceeded the total of all China's large-caliber cannons back then made Dong Qiwu calm down and thought to himself: "Mr. Come and attack quickly and see what I have prepared for you. Guan Bao can eat enough at one time!"
Chapter completed!
