Chapter 430: Tank Cluster Assault
In addition to being the first in the world to be equipped with armored fighting vehicles and tanks, the Huaxia Army was also the first to be equipped with a large number of improvised armored vehicles.
The so-called armored car, in fact, is on the chassis and structure of ordinary cars, welding protective steel plates in key protective parts, which can resist the impact of ordinary light and heavy machine guns and rifle bullets, and welding mechanisms on the car to place light and heavy machine guns, sniper rifles, and recoilless guns.
In peacetime, these cars can be detached from the bulletproof steel plate and used as ordinary military transport vehicles, but in wartime, the weapons can be fixed in place with simple screws, and armored vehicles can be used to fight.
This is in the automobile era of another time and space, such a simple armored car is almost no different from civilian cars, but in this era, it is already a big killer that has been born out of nowhere, and it is enough to deal with the infantry and cavalry of most countries in the world, and it will not be backward in the foreseeable ten years.
After receiving the emperor's order to attack, more than 3,000 armored cars started their engines together and rumbled into the battlefield.
Today's Hubei army really opened their eyes, hearing the roar of the car, and not knowing what tricks the Huaxia army was going to make, many Cossack soldiers began to beat drums in their hearts: "What kind of magic is the yellow-skinned monkey going to play again?" ”
When the armored car appeared out of sight, the Hubei soldiers did not know what it was: "My God, what is this?" Why do you run on your own without seeing a horse? ”
Only some of the senior officers of the Hubei army still have a little knowledge: "This is a car!" ”
However, it was useless for individual officers to know that it was a car, and they did not know how to defend against the attack of the cavalry.
The Huaxia army did not have to fight with these ignorant Hubei troops, and after crossing their own positions, they directly plunged into the cavalry group of the Hubei army, and sprayed blazing fire at the enemy group with recoilless guns, heavy machine guns, light machine guns, and rifles on armored vehicles.
The cavalry of the Hubei army suffered a heavy blow from the artillery fire of the Huaxia army today, suffered heavy casualties, and everyone was sullen at the moment, and at this moment they had nowhere to vent, and when they found that the Huaxia army's automobile was attacking, they all rushed to the car without dying, but they were killed by the powerful fire of the armored car.
Seeing this, some of the Cossacks who were not dead immediately dismounted, took out their mounted rifles on their backs, and opened fire on the armored cars, but the sons hit the armored cars, and there were scattered flames, while the armored cars moved forward as if nothing had happened, and sprayed fierce fire at the Hubei troops.
The Hubei troops who dismounted and opened fire became the priority targets of the machine guns, and the armored vehicles were equipped with the trained snipers of the Huaxia Army, and as soon as they saw that the Hubei soldiers had lowered their sabers, they immediately opened fire and sniped them.
Some armored vehicles found that the Hubei cavalry was nearby, and without saying a word, they rushed over and knocked down the men and horses, and the wheels crushed the men and horses until their intestines pierced their stomachs, their bones were broken, and their brains burst out.
Under the ferocious attack of armored cars, the pretentious Cossack cavalry finally got scared and no longer had the courage to storm the armored cars of the Huaxia Army.
After this process of changing the offensive and defensive forces, the cavalry of the Hubei army finally formed a wave of escape in front of the powerful offensive of the armored vehicles of the Huaxia Army.
At this time, the observation posts of the Huaxia army kept reporting accurate data to the artillery, and the artillery seemed to have eyes, chasing the fleeing Hubei cavalry cluster and spewing out dense shells, which made the fleeing Hubei army even worse.
At this time, the infantry of the Huaxia Army also rushed out of their positions, followed behind the armored cars, and alternately covered each other to attack the cavalry of the Hubei army
Under the joint attack of the air force, artillery, armored vehicles, and infantry of the Huaxia Army, the Cossack cavalry of the Hubei Army on the left was personally commanded by the commander of the Baikal Front, Nicholas, and finally collapsed on the whole front.
The rout retreated like a flood, and Nicholas ordered the Overseer to go out to suppress it, but it took less than a few minutes for the Overseer to move their horses before they were swept away by the mad rout, and they could not play any role at all.
The Warlords were unable to suppress it, so they had to flee backwards with the rout.
Nicholas looked up to the sky and sighed, pulled out a revolver and pointed it at his head, but it was snatched away by the chief of staff, Brodaevsky.
"Your Excellency, we have not yet reached the last moment, and we can't give up easily!" Brodaevsky persuaded.
Nicholas said indignantly: "Can we still go back to Moscow? ”
"Your Excellency, as long as you can go back, we still have more than 200,000 infantry on the way here, and under your command, we still have a chance to counterattack!" Brodaevsky couldn't help but say anything, and ordered Nicholas to leave the battlefield with his men and horses.
After the withdrawal of Nicholas and Brodaevsky, the entire line of the Hubei army on the left collapsed, and the battlefield was full of dead and wounded Hubei, weapons, baggage, and vehicles were abandoned on the battlefield, and from a distance it looked like a large garbage dump full of all kinds of garbage.
At the same time that the left route army of the Hubei army in the north collapsed, the right route army of the Hubei army, which was in the south and the capital, also suffered a joint attack from the air and ground of the Huaxia army, and the whole army collapsed uncontrollably.
The fleeing troops of the Hubei army fled along the road they came, and they all thought that there were 200,000 infantry in the back road, and even if they could not save the defeat, there would be no problem in withdrawing to the Baikal region.
However, the various positions held by the rear infantry on which the Hubei army had high hopes were also under the spearhead of the sharp attack of the 200,000-strong army in the northern theater at this time.
In particular, the Hubei army in Huailai City was under fierce attack by the First Chariot Division of the Huaxia Army.
Under the command of He Pingxiong, the 1st Tank Division first attacked the position of the Hubei army with the ferocious artillery fire of the artillery regiment for half an hour, and then the tanks of the three regiments were all dispatched to rush to the position of the Hubei army under the cover of the infantry of the three regiments.
All the Hubei troops who were found were either killed by artillery and machine guns, or were directly crushed to death by wheels, and the roadblocks temporarily erected by the Hubei army could only block the impact of ordinary cavalry, but the heavy tanks were pushed away as soon as they rushed.
Countless machine-gun and rifle bullets clanged at the tank, sending a spark out of it, but the tank remained unfazed, still moving at high speed, and sprayed deadly shells and bullets at the Hubei positions.
At this moment, the tanks on the battlefield are majestically slaughtering in all directions, and countless Hubei troops have been killed, killed, crashed and crushed, which is simply a god-like existence.
Where have the infantry of the Hubei army seen such a formation, most of them have completely lost the will to resist, and can only keep drawing crosses on their chests and muttering: "Devil, this must be the devil!" ”
There were also Hubei soldiers who pushed their priests out with crosses to ward off evil spirits, but the tanks smashed the priest and the cross with a single shot, and then rushed up and crushed them into powder.
In just two hours, the chariot offensive crushed all the Hubei troops that relied on temporary fortifications.
The rear route of the Baikal Front of the Hubei army has been cut off, but the main forces of its rout are still desperately fleeing in the direction of Huailai. (To be continued.) )
