Behind the tank fighting vehicles of the Soviet troops, the brigade commander, Major General Petrov, sat in an open-top jeep. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Due to the rising temperature, he took off his big cap and took off his military shirt. The grass-green turtleneck shirt was open to reveal thick chest hair. Petrov was tall and burly, had black hair, and was about 40 years old. "How far is it from Hala and Rin?" "About 40 kilometers, in another hour, we will reach Hala and Lim!" The chief of staff replied.

"Is there any news from the Air Force reconnaissance?" "The Air Force reconnaissance plane, news came an hour ago that it was found that there were a small number of military vehicles moving in Hala and Lin, judging that they were infantry, and there would be no more than one regiment!" "Order the troops to stop advancing!" The roar of the motor stopped, Petrov jumped out of the jeep, got fully dressed, and got into the tank. The tanks advanced at high speed, leaving behind the mixed artillery regiments, rocket artillery battalions, and logistics regiments. Petrov believed that the enemy forces were not on guard at Hala and Lin, and the air force reconnaissance did not find any fortifications, so it was easy to capture Hala and Rin.

The tanks of the Soviet army were about 300 meters from the woods, and Li Yunlong ordered a sortie. The tank commander in front took the lead in shelling, and several Soviet T34 tanks were hit, and immediately smoke and ignited a fire, and one of the tanks was also killed. Finding out that enemy tanks had rushed out of the woods, Petrov immediately gave the order to meet them. At first, the Soviet tank crews showed great confidence, stubbornly rushing to kill and destroy 3 enemy tanks, but soon found that the signs were wrong. Although the enemy tank is smaller, it is more flexible, especially the armor-piercing ability of tank shells is very terrifying.

The two sides fought each other, and the Soviets lost more than a dozen tanks. As the tanks of the Eighth Route Army rushed out of the woods one after another, Petrov was dumbfounded. Enemy tanks not only have strong combat capabilities, but also have a clear upper hand in strike capabilities. However, the most terrible thing was that the enemy had twice as many tanks, and Petrov realized that the enemy had already prepared to set up an ambush, and immediately ordered a retreat. At this moment, the 1st Light Tank Regiment fought out from the diagonal rear, blocking the retreat of the Soviet troops.

Due to the fact that there were mixed artillery regiments, rocket artillery battalions, and logistics regiments in the rear, their huge convoys prevented the Soviet tanks from escaping, and the scene was suddenly chaotic. The Soviet tanks rushed to escape, and all kinds of vehicles also fled desperately, and the chaotic scene only slowed down the escape of the Soviet tanks. In front of it, a vehicle-mounted rocket artillery truck turned around and fled, blocking the path of a tank. I saw that the tank directly crashed into the vehicle-mounted rocket launcher, and the rocket artillery truck was knocked to the side with a bang, and then there was a violent explosion, and the tank was buried together.

The huge convoy of the Soviet army blocked the escape of the Soviet tanks, and the tanks of the Eighth Route Army, which had outflanked them, seized the opportunity and shelled fiercely. At this time, the advantages of the smoothbore gun were completely visible, even if the shells did not hit the vital parts, but the powerful armor-piercing and blasting ability also made the Soviet tanks lose their combat effectiveness. The chaotic scene, coupled with the poor mobility of the Soviet tanks, was completely in a situation of passive beating. The T34 tank, which the Soviet army was proud of, fell into a catastrophe.

In fact, it is impossible for Soviet tanks to escape, T34 due to the increase in weight, the maximum speed is only 40 kilometers per hour, while the Eighth Route Army Cheetah 2 tank has a speed of 50 kilometers per hour. The means of attack, the power of the strike, and the number of strikes were absolutely superior, and soon the battlefield duel became a one-sided massacre. The light tank regiment blocking in the rear mainly aimed at the Soviet mixed artillery regiment and rocket artillery battalion, allowing the Soviet logistics regiment to escape. As for allowing the Soviet logistics regiments to escape, the reason was that the separate cavalry brigades in the rear were waiting for them.

Four hours passed, and the brigade commander Petrov, seeing that the general situation was gone, announced his surrender. During the campaign, 48 Soviet T34 tanks were destroyed and 17 were captured. In addition, a whole mixed artillery regiment and rocket artillery battalion were captured. The logistics regiment that fled in a hurry was all captured by the cavalry brigade. The Eighth Route Army lost 12 Cheetah-2 tanks (5 smoothbore guns and 7 rifled guns) and 7 light tanks. On the battlefield, many destroyed Soviet tanks were still emitting green smoke, and Li Yunlong opened the turret and drilled out.

Li Yunlong looked at the messy battlefield and said to the dispatcher: "Send a report to Mr. Lin immediately and annihilate the Soviet tank brigade??。 A one-wheeled motorcycle stopped in front of him and said: "Report to the brigade commander, after statistics, 48 Soviet tanks were destroyed and 17 were captured." 5 Soviet tanks had their chains blown up and could be repaired. In addition, seized. At this time, the sound of automobile motors was heard from the north, and everyone looked and saw a large number of cavalry and Soviet trucks coming side by side.

"Brigade commander, what a hearty victory. Using captured Soviet-style tanks, we can form a tank battalion. It's just that the artillery regiment, rocket artillery battalion, and logistics regiment must be surrendered. The chief of staff said happily. The report was sent by telegram to the headquarters to immediately hand over the captured artillery regiment, rocket artillery battalion, logistics regiment, including prisoners, to the 4th Army and escort them to Kulen. Captured Soviet tanks, your troops can stay! "Brigadier, don't blame me for the crow's mouth!" "Okay, I thought about it a long time ago, you go and leave the tank shells behind, inform the 4th Army, and we hand over the loot and prisoners."

The Soviet brigade commander walked between the prisoners of war, and because of his tall and bloated stature, Petrov stood out from the crowd. Li Yunlong stood on the side of the road and waited, the two sides looked at each other and saluted each other, and the mental outlook of the loser and the victor was in stark contrast. "As a defeated, I want to know the number and name of my opponent!" Petrov asked. After the translation and explanation, Li Yunlong said with a smile: "We are the Independent Tank Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and we are called Li Yunlong!" "I am Major General Petrov, Brigade Commander of the Separate Tank Brigade of the 10th Mechanized Army."

"Your army's tanks are very strong, I wonder if your army's tanks are made in China?" "Do you need to ask? I'm sure you've learned it! Petrov looked at the tank again and shook his head helplessly. Perhaps he could not believe that China could produce such advanced tanks, why were there so few of them? I'm afraid he can't figure it out even after racking his brains. Petrov can't figure it out, it doesn't mean that the upper peaks are idiots.

During the tank battle between the two sides, Vasilyev, commander of the 10th Mechanized Army, received two telegrams from Petrov. The first telegram said that he was ambushed by enemy tanks, and at first Vasiliev was not worried, and various pre-war intelligence confirmed that although the enemy army had armored forces, they were few in number and all of them were light tanks, which were not enough to pose a threat to the T34. Half an hour later, however, he received a distress telegram from Petrov, saying that he had been ambushed by an enemy tank division, which was a medium tank.

Vasilyev was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately organized reinforcements of troops. However, as soon as the reinforcements were assembled, they received the last telegram from Petrov, and the headquarters was unable to fight again, and was defeated and surrendered! Vasilyev was stupid, in just 6 hours, a tank brigade was eaten and it was simply horrible. Vasilyev ordered to stop reinforcements, albeit with an infantry division in his hands, nothing more than an infantry division sitting on wheels. Letting an infantry division deal with tanks is undoubtedly an egg against a stone. Vasilyev was convinced that Petrov was not lying about the military situation, and immediately sent a report to the commander of the army group, Shikin. Soon Shikin gave the order, and Vasilyev led his troops to retreat quickly.

The news of Petrov's defeat and surrender soon reached the Irksk command. The generals were shocked when they heard this. "Comrade Marshal, pre-war intelligence confirmed that China was able to produce light tanks, and in small quantities. Now that a new type of medium tank has appeared, it is difficult for the Chinese to launch a full-scale counterattack? "The Chinese can produce light tanks, why can't they produce heavy tanks." However, the ability to produce advanced tanks does not mean that China can equip tank forces on a large scale. ”

"China's industrial capabilities, logistical support capabilities, simply cannot guarantee large-scale armored operations, this is a question of war potential. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Chinese army is equipped with a small number of advanced tanks, and the enemy commander placed the elite tank units in Hala and Lin in order to prevent us from moving south in a roundabout way. Vasilyev's misjudgment created an opportunity for enemy tanks. Hala and Lin as the main points, how can the troops be empty. However, the enemy's ability to produce such advanced tanks and fighting vehicles cannot but arouse our great attention, and this situation should be reported to the high command immediately. ”

Zhukov continued: "The enemy's frontal defensive operations and the absence of tank units can fully prove that the enemy army does not have the ability to fight large-scale armored counterattacks. The enemy commander is very shrewd, and the good steel is on the blade. Now we have to take a fresh look at our opponents, and any complacency and insensitivity will lead to defeat. This is just the beginning, we need to be patient and use long-lasting, high-intensity attacks to break the will of the enemy. Commanders at all levels should form a unified understanding of how to consume the opponent by telegraphing all front-line units not to be impatient. ”

In the Kulen Joint Command, the tense atmosphere of the past few days was swept away, and everyone congratulated each other on the total annihilation of a tank brigade of the Soviet Army. "Mr. Lin, you put Li Yunlong in Hala and Lin, this move is right. The complete annihilation of a state-of-the-art tank brigade of the Soviet Army is of great significance to enhancing the confidence of officers and men in defense. This move not only smashed the Soviet army's attempt to outflank the Soviet army in a roundabout way, but also dealt a heavy blow to the Soviet army. Chief of Staff Tan Zhenlin said happily. Chief of Staff, don't be blindly optimistic, Chief of General Staff Ouyang once warned that Soviet Russia belongs to a fighting nation, and their tenacity is very great. ”

"Looking back at the Soviet-German battlefield, at the beginning of the war, the German army was overwhelmed, and the losses of millions of Soviet troops did not break their will to fight. The elimination of an armored brigade was a drop in the bucket for Soviet Russia. In fact, the Soviet Russian offensive was full of momentum and did not make much mistake. They just don't know us. "Report, Fu Zuoyi called, the Soviet army has withdrawn from the western side of the roundabout troops!" "Mr. Lin, Zhukov is very adaptable!"

Lin Dao: "No wonder Chief of General Staff Ouyang thinks highly of Zhukov, he is indeed shrewd. However, Zhukov is still on the road, and the next step is to use high-intensity attacks to consume us, but he can't imagine that we will abandon the Orkhon River defense line to shrink Kulen at the right time, and even give up Kulen without hesitation. Now I understand the operational intentions of the headquarters, the Eastern Front is the top priority, and it is a strategy to recover the country! ”
