Chapter 1556 Tank Battle

The Soviet troops under the mountain saw that the direct attack was blocked, and the commander had no choice but to order the troops to attack from both flanks of the hillside, Ye Cheng put down the binoculars in his hand, and immediately gave an order: "Don't play with the Soviets, order Li Yuewu, his troops can charge, and order the artillery to cover!" ”

After a pause, Ye Cheng said again: "Tell Qi Xiuping and Liang Zhenyu to attack from both flanks, be sure to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, and then quickly occupy Urgench!" ”

"Yes!"

After listening to the commander's order, Colonel Wang Shaohan, the chief of the operations department, showed excitement on his face, and then he solemnly gave the commander a standard military salute and turned to leave. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Five minutes later, without waiting for the Soviet troops to assemble on both flanks, the Anjia army took the lead in launching a counterattack.

The artillery ambushed in the rear began to perform, and the artillery, which had been corrected by ballistic elements countless times, accurately hit the Soviet army in the assembled ranks, and almost instantly, countless Soviets disappeared into the mushroom cloud created by the explosion of the shells, and more Soviets quickly fell into a panic.

In the tank command car in the rear of the Soviet army, Maxim felt a pang in his heart, as an old Bolshevik with rich combat experience, he knew better than anyone what the sudden shelling of the squadron at this time meant.

"The enemy is ready to fight back! Get ready for battle! ”

Maxim screamed hoarsely into the microphone.

Sure enough, before Maxim's words fell, the tanks of the squadron had already appeared on the top of the distant hills.

"Our goal is twelve o'clock in front of us, all attention, tank crews, forward!"

Lieutenant General Li Yuewu, commander of the Second Tank Army, sat in a modified Leopard tank and shouted loudly at the radio, venting his excitement.

After issuing the order, Li Yuewu patted the driver sitting in front of him heavily, and soon the tank troops pounced on the intended target like bloodthirsty beasts.

"Attack!"

Seeing the tanks all over the mountain, Maxim's heart felt a chill, but he knew that he could not retreat at this time, otherwise the team would soon collapse, so he decisively gave the order to engage the battle.

The Soviets quickly adjusted their defensive line, drove at full speed, and crashed head-on into the tank formation of the squadron.

The two sides stopped at a distance of three hundred meters, and then the barrels on both sides emitted scorching fire at the same time, and the angry tongues of fire mixed with the shimmering shells began to actively look for targets.

Several tanks were hit in an instant, some burst into flames, others were torn to shreds after a violent explosion.

In the first round of salvo fire, the Soviets lost eleven tanks at once, and six tanks on the side of the An Jiajun were damaged to varying degrees, two of which lost power due to the transmission device being hit, one wolf tank was hit by the opponent's shell and the entire tank was destroyed, and the remaining three Leopard tanks were hit by shells on the armor wall, and they stopped for three or four minutes before starting again.

On the whole, the An Army had an absolute advantage, especially the Leopard 50mm KWK39L/60 gun, which became a nightmare for all Polish tanks.

"Quick! Hasten! Quickly approach each other! ”

After the first round of firing, the Soviet tank commander Maxim found that the shells fired by his tank could not give the opponent a fatal wound at such a distance, and his own side lost eleven tanks at once, so he knew that the 37 guns equipped with his tank were not enough to tear the armor of the enemy's tank, so he decisively gave the order to assault.

"Brigade commander, the enemy's tanks are accelerating!"

Major General Zhang Cunpu, the commander of the Fourth Tank Brigade, who led the frontal attack, suddenly exploded with his headphones, "Damn! Almost instantly, Zhang Cunpu, who also saw the enemy's movements, immediately understood the other party's intentions.

"The Soviets want to approach us so that they can use the full power of their artillery!"

Zhang Cunpu did not hesitate to yell at the microphone next to his mouth: "Reverse!" Reversing! All reverse! Distance yourself from each other! Soon the camouflage tanks marked with the Flying Fox logo, the engines rumbled, raised thick smoke, and then quickly retreated.

For a time, the tank group of the Anjia Army desperately retreated, trying to shake off the enemy, while the Soviet KV7 and T26 small tanks were at full speed, desperately ramming into the tank formation of the Anjia Army, and for a while, there was a funny scene on the battlefield - the wolf and leopard tanks with strong firepower and armor were chased by Soviet tanks that were far away in terms of artillery, armor and even size, which looked quite strange, just like a group of strong leopards on the grassland being chased around by a group of rabbits.

The rabbit took advantage of its speed and burst into the leopard pack, so the scuffle inevitably broke out!

It was a skillless battle, the tanks on both sides were like mad dogs, entangled to death, shells kept coming out of the black holes of both sides, and one tank after another burst into flames.

"Help me get Li Yuewu, shit, how did you fight?"

Ye Cheng, who was standing on the top of the mountain, was very annoyed when he saw that his tank with superior strength could not defeat the weak tank unit of the Soviet army, angrily threw down the binoculars, came to the command vehicle, picked up the microphone from the communicator's hand, and scolded loudly: "Li Yuewu of the dog day, will you fight?" Are the three tank brigades in your hands vegetarian? Someone glued it up! The enemy storms your tank formation, and you won't split your troops to beat him from behind in the ass? ”

At this time, Li Yuewu was really confused by the Soviet army's lifeless fighting style, and his original idea was that the two sides would bombard each other face to face, and soon their troops would be able to win by virtue of their qualitative and quantitative advantages, but the Soviet army decisively chose tanks to fight bayonets, so that in addition to the tanks in battle, the rest of the tanks were not easy to help, otherwise it was very likely that they would be injured by mistake.

Hearing Ye Cheng's scolding, Li Yuewu woke up like a dream, and quickly assigned Zhu Tiecheng's brigade and Duan Ruizhang's brigade to attack from both flanks and attack from the enemy's rear.

On the flanks under the hills, tanks and armored vehicles, spewing out thick puffs of smoke, were attacking the rear of the Soviet army. A quarter of an hour later, Qi Xiuping and Liang Zhenyu's troops successfully arrived on the battlefield.

At this time, the tanks of the Soviet army and the Anjia army were still fighting, and Li Yuewu, who had been reminded, had gradually grasped the initiative on the battlefield. In the face of the pursuit of the Soviet army like a madman, the second tank army Zhang Cunpu brigade facing the front also went crazy, a little farther away with artillery bombardment of the opponent, if the distance is a little closer, then simply drive the tank to the other side, after many modifications, the current wolf light tank also weighs twenty tons, and the leopard tank reaches thirty-five tons, and the Soviet tank is only about ten tons, in the tonnage fell into the absolute downwind, the Soviet tank can not dodge, have been knocked over and rolled to the ground, helpless have reversed and retreated, This advantage shifted to the side of the Anjia army, and as the artillery fired in unison, the Soviet tanks were shot and burned to the ground.

Zhu Tiecheng Brigade and Duan Ruizhang Brigade, which had already gone around to the rear of the Soviet tanks, raised their guns one after another. As the Soviet tanks continued to retreat, the two brigades combined with one hundred and twenty tanks suddenly opened fire. Almost instantly, the Wolf and Leopard tanks fired their first round of armor-piercing shells in a volley, and red fireballs and billowing black smoke immediately appeared on the horizon.

"Rush!"

Li Yuewu, who was sitting in the rear and commanding the operation, was excited, and gave a loud order, and soon, the steel beasts of the three brigades began to move their huge bodies and pounced on the Soviet troops under the mountain. At the same time, the B2 bombers of the An Jiajun also rushed from the newly built airfield in the southwest, swooped down on the Soviet defense line, and dropped a string of bombs.

"Retreat, retreat! Withdraw to the Urgench defense! ”

The commander of the infantry division, Sergei, who had completely lost confidence after witnessing the total destruction of the tank troops, gave a loud order, and soon the Soviet troops began to retreat like a tide. However, at this time, the two mechanized armies of the Anjia Army had already been left and right, completely blocking the retreat of the Soviet army, so fierce battles were inevitable.

After more than five hours of fierce fighting, two divisions of the Soviet army were completely annihilated in the steppe and hilly areas south of Urgench, and the Anjia army won the first round of victory against the main force of the Soviet army.

......

On the west bank of the mouth of the Amu Darya and Aral Sea, Li Jinlong was discussing the battle situation with a cadre of generals.

"The enemy has destroyed the road bridge at the mouth of the Amu Darya River, and we have no way to break through it for the time being, and the nearest bridge to us is the town of Tubila, which is forty kilometers upstream, which is too far away. On the opposite side of us was the 3rd Division of the Soviet Army, which had come from the plateau to the west, and had not gained a firm foothold, so I thought that we could take the method of a strong attack and completely crush the opponent! ”

After a pause, Lieutenant General Wu Xianwei, chief of staff of the Front Army, continued:

"We can organize assault troops, cross the river by rubber boats to occupy the opponent's positions, and after occupying a few bridgeheads, we can send engineering troops to erect pontoon bridges, so that the road to the west will basically be opened! In addition, I think we can get the Air Force to provide us with air support as soon as possible. ”

Before Wu Xianwei's words fell, a communications staff officer strode to the conference table: "Commander, deputy commander, chief of staff, commanders, I have just contacted the 10th Air Regiment, and in half an hour, our B2 bombers will launch a fierce bombardment of the Soviet positions on the west bank of the Amu Darya River." ”

"Good!"

Li Jinlong, commander of the front army, took over the conversation: "Then let the assault force launch an offensive immediately after the bombardment!" Speaking of this, he saw another communications staff officer coming in a hurry, took the telegram and glanced at it, a smile appeared on his face, and he handed the telegram to Deputy Commander Guo Sizheng, and then said:

"Let me tell you a good news, the Soviet army's defense line in Chuili Mountain has been completely collapsed by the blasting of our Xiao Wu Army, and the Far Eastern Army and our army have no longer stopped the Soviet army along the line of attacking Almaty, the capital of Kazakhstan, and Frunze, the capital of Kyrgyzstan, and the war situation is developing in the direction favorable to our army!

"Now, as long as we eat the Soviet army in Uzbekistan, then the forces of the enemy and us in Central Asia will be fundamentally reversed, and the next battle will be much easier!"

In the conference room, a relaxed laugh suddenly sounded.

The resistance of the Soviet army was very tenacious, and before that, everyone's hearts were tightened, for fear that if one was not careful, they would be hit hard by the Soviet army, which would bring huge casualties to the troops, and then lead to the passivity of the overall situation. It was only now that everyone let go of the big stone in their hearts and devoted themselves to the battle situation in front of them.
