Chapter 1075: The Situation Expands (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"Da Da Da!" The squad opened heavy fire with a machine gun, and a barrage of bullets hit it, and several soldiers of the Buen-Russian border guards were knocked down in an instant. The other Russian soldiers were also frightened, and they all lay on the ground, breaking out in a cold sweat.
The equipment of the border guards is the worst in the Russian Army, and they are basically eliminated from the field troops, which does not expect their quality to be very good. In addition, this time the mission was to intercept the fugitives, so these border guards did not carry many powerful weapons, except for rifles, only a few grenades. This made them not know what to do for a while after being strafed by the machine guns of the Ukrainian army.
Fortunately, the Ukrainian soldiers saw that they had suppressed the Buishen-Russian border guards, and did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but immediately withdrew. In any case, this time they shot first, killing several Buk-Russian border guards, and they did not suffer a loss.
After returning to the station, the squad leader immediately reacted to the situation. It's just that the commander of an infantry battalion stationed in this area did not take this seriously. Over the years, the Kingdom of Ukraine and the Russian Federation have clashed on the border many times. As long as you don't suffer a loss, your superiors won't blame you. After all, this has happened many times, and they have long been accustomed to it.
It's just that what Ukrainians didn't expect was that this time the situation was a little different. Because the company commander who was killed has a lot of background. He was the nephew of the commander of one of the infantry corps in Buu. The commander put him in the border guards, just to accumulate seniority, and in two years he would be transferred back to the field army. But I didn't expect that such a thing would happen at this juncture.
That's why when the border guards fled back and reported to the instructor, the instructor looked like dirt.
The instructor did not dare to slack off and immediately reported the situation to his superiors. In less than an hour, Colonel Alexander, commander of the border division on this section of the border, learned about the situation.
"Bastard! How could Comrade Kabosky have been shot by the Ukrainians? Didn't he carry it in the rear? What the hell is going on? Colonel Alexander's face was furious.
The status of the border guards was originally inferior to that of the field army, not to mention that Kabosky's uncle was still a commander of the field army, which was a major general, a serious general. Although, after the Great Purge, the status of the army chief is much inferior to that of the political work chief, but it is still not something that he, a small colonel of the border guards, can afford to offend!
"Comrade division commander, Comrade Kabosky went to intercept the fugitives, and then was shot dead by the Ukrainians." An officer reported.
Colonel Alexander frowned, he was sure that things would not be so simple.
"I want to know what's really going on!" Colonel Alexander said with a dark face.
The officer hesitated for a moment, and then the true situation was reported to Colonel Alexander. When he heard that Kabosky actually treated the fugitives like that, Colonel Alexander also felt that this guy deserved it. But now that Kaboski is dead, that's a big deal!
"Comrade Division Commander, what should we do now? Do you want to escalate? The officer asked.
Colonel Alexander thought for a moment, and then said: "Give the order to the 2nd regiment and let them launch an attack on the Ukrainians." In any case, we have to avenge Comrade Kabosky. In this case, we can be regarded as having an explanation for the above. ”
"Comrade division commander, will this lead to a larger-scale conflict. In that case, it won't end well. "The officer was a little worried.
"Don't worry, the Ukrainians are used to being weak. Although they took refuge in a good master, they simply did not have the courage to engage in a large-scale conflict with us. As long as you can take out a hundred and eighty Ukrainians, that's fine. When the time comes, the death of Comrade Kabosky can be put in the middle of this conflict. In that case, when we reported it, we could say that we were provoked by the Ukrainians, and Comrade Kabosky led his troops to fight back heroically, and finally sacrificed his life for the country. When the time comes, Comrade Kabosky will be a hero! Colonel Alexander said.
He had this idea, and if Kabosky became a hero, then Kabosky's uncle would naturally not be able to say anything.
Colonel Alexander's secret order was immediately issued. And the commander of the 2nd regiment was none other than his confidant, Lieutenant Colonel Dzerkav. Lieutenant Colonel Dzerkav, faithfully carried out Colonel Alexander's orders.
On the evening of June 14, the 2nd Regiment of the 121st Division of the Russian Border Guards launched a surprise attack on the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the 54th Infantry Division of the Ukrainian Army. It's just that even if it was attacked suddenly, the performance of the Ukrainian Army was still remarkable. Although, in terms of troops, the Ukrainian units are at a disadvantage, the gap is not large.
Before the outbreak of the war, the Ukrainian Army could be regarded as trained by the German army, and the establishment of the troops was exactly the same as that of the German army. It's just that there are not as many heavy weapons as the Germans, and most of the weapons equipped are replaced by the Germans. For example, the German Army was already equipped with semi-automatic rifles, and the replacement Mauser 1898 rifle was sold to these protectorates. Even the Mauser 1898 rifle was already in service in the last world war. But even now, the performance is still excellent. What's more, most of these Mauser rifles are improved Mauser 98K, which has better performance.
An infantry battalion of the Ukrainian Army, numbering more than 1,000 people, is armed with mortars, infantry guns and light and heavy machine guns. A regiment of the Russian Army of the Buff also has only more than 1,000 people, less than 2,000 people. A field infantry division of the Russian Army is only 12,000 people, which is more than 4,000 less than the German army. In addition, there is also a brigade level in the establishment of the Russian Army, so the strength of the infantry regiment is not much.
After the fighting began, the Ukrainian forces initially panicked, but they quickly calmed down. In particular, when they saw that the Buishen-Russian border guards suffered heavy losses under their own artillery and machine-gun fire, they fought more and more easily, applying the various tactics taught by the German instructors. At the same time, the performance of various weapons and equipment was brought into play, which immediately made the Buen-Russian border guards suffer a lot.
Lieutenant Colonel Dzerkav, who didn't expect the battle to be like this, originally thought that launching a surprise attack would make the Ukrainians suffer a big loss, but he didn't expect that it was himself who suffered.
After losing hundreds of men, the Bhu-Russian border guards collapsed, and the remnants fled back to B-Russian territory.
However, their cross-border attack on Ukrainian troops has made this situation expand again.
