437: The Russian army also has tanks?
It is located more than 200 kilometers west of Chita, not far from Shilok, near a small town called Hushenga. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The five tanks slowly advanced in battle formation, and the infantry behind them also abandoned the trucks, so they chose to follow on foot, the dense jungle, the muddy road after the snow melted, made the troops have to use more strength than before when marching, but at this time no one cared about this, they were more concerned about what was happening in front of them.
About a week ago, the Royal Army, which had been recuperating for almost a month after the decisive battle of Borja, continued to embark on the second phase of the combat mission, this time with more than just an army group, which would move directly north through Mongolia into Russia to join the First Army in Baikalsk.
After the meeting, there will be about a week to recuperate, and during this week, a new logistics base will be set up on the front line to transfer supplies from Borja to the new base.
In terms of time, it was time, but the Royal Army, which had been fighting smoothly since the start of the war, encountered a huge problem this time.
As for how big the problem really is? Now no one knows, the only thing that is clear is that three of their armored reconnaissance vehicles were destroyed in Hushena, and three armored vehicles were destroyed in the same place and at the same time, and this is still enough to attract the attention of the above.
These three armored reconnaissance vehicles were sent out four days ago to reconnoiter the terrain in that area, the situation of the enemy, and have been in contact with the troops in the middle, and the last contact was yesterday, in the telegram, the three reconnaissance vehicles have met and intend to return to the large force for resupply, and they were located near Hushena at that time.
But after that, the three armored reconnaissance vehicles completely lost contact, and the main station called for two hours, but still could not contact the three reconnaissance vehicles, and after half a day, there was still no news about them.
Immediately afterwards, the rear urgently dispatched a company of troops to Hushenga, searching for the traces of the three armored vehicles along the way. Six hours ago, the main station received a telegram from the troops who rushed to search for them, and they found the three reconnaissance vehicles, unfortunately, all three reconnaissance vehicles were destroyed, and six bodies were found in the vehicles, but according to their observations, the location of the armored vehicles should not be the first crime scene, and there is a trace of strangeness in this matter.
So, the rear hurriedly transferred a tank platoon and an infantry company to support Hushena again, to find out the reason for the destruction of those three tanks.
Zhu Kuan's tank company happened to be nearby, and after receiving the telegram, they hurriedly rushed over, and after several hours of running along the way, whether it was the tank crew or the infantry behind, their faces were full of exhaustion.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the support troops rushed to the place where the wreckage of the armored car was, the platoon commander and several commanders hurriedly jumped out of the tank, and the other two members of the tank continued to stay in the tank to standby, and the five tanks also quietly drove to the side of the hideout, and the five tanks formed a simple defensive circle.
Looking at the wreckage of the destruction of the three reconnaissance vehicles, everyone at the scene held their breath, they had also seen the picture of the tank being destroyed, but after all, they had seen it with their own eyes, and they knew how those tanks were destroyed, but now, just looking at the wreckage of these three armored vehicles, they felt that there were strange things everywhere in this matter.
Zhu Kuan asked some questions from the infantry who rushed over first, and after getting a definite answer, he also came to a simple conclusion.
"There are traces of drag on the ground, it is clear that these three armored vehicles were dragged here, this is not the first scene, the three radio stations in the armored car are gone, obviously taken away by the Russian army, but they took away the wreckage? Or a full station? I don't know about this for now. They did not find a codebook in the car, but they did find traces of some burned paper, and it was impossible to determine whether it was just the paper that was usually used to record or the codebook that recorded the password. As he spoke, Zhu Kuan circled around the three armored vehicles again, and did not find anything unusual.
The three armored vehicles should have been destroyed by artillery, and the positions of the bullets were not the same, and the entire body had been burned into a pile of scrap metal by the fire, black, and with a wipe of the hand, you could also bring down some soot.
The four rubber tires are also long gone, but this one must have been destroyed by the fire almost without thinking about it.
'The radio is gone? It is possible that it will be directly destroyed by artillery shells, but the radio stations of the three armored vehicles are gone? Could it be that the shells destroyed three radio stations at the same time? Moreover, the armored reconnaissance vehicle is specially equipped with a protective film, which is not large, and is placed behind the main driver and co-pilot, and is a shell made of a mixture of external steel and internal wood, mainly to protect the radio station from accidents at normal times. It is impossible for the protective film to protect against shells, and it does not have that strength, but as long as it resists bullets. In addition, the armored vehicle also has armor on the outside, and even if the bullet penetrates the armor, it is difficult to pass through this protective film. ’
Through the open door, Zhu Kuan put his head in and looked at the place where the radio station was placed, he used to be the commander of the armored car, so he was still very familiar with the layout and performance of the armored car.
It is true that some of the protective molds on which the radio stations were placed were destroyed by shells, but it can be clearly seen that the radio stations inside are gone, and not even the slightest part is gone.
Although through the information currently known, it is basically certain that this is a premeditated ambush by the Russian army, the purpose of which is to obtain the secret about the armored vehicle. This reason is very good and convincing, but Zhu Kuan always feels as if he is still missing something?
Wait a minute......
Zhu Kuan suddenly remembered a more serious possibility, the Russian army has no reason to know about the radio station, and it is a radio station that has been destroyed, so the Russian army taking the radio station may be just an accidental discovery, and the real purpose of the Russian army should not be the radio station.
Ambush armored vehicle, if he is regarded as the Russian army, the purpose of arranging such an ambush battle must be this armored vehicle.
Thinking of this, Zhu Kuan was suddenly startled, hurriedly ran to the front of the armored car, half-squatted on the ground, and put his hand under the car, there was a groove inside, where was the switch to open the hood.
The hood was easily opened, and the interior was black, and a lot of pipes and stuff had disappeared, but some traces could still be seen on other parts, apparently burned.
And the entire front of the car, but a part of it was missing, this time, whether it was Zhu Kuan who thought of this, or other people who didn't think of this, after seeing the situation in the front of the armored car, the expression on his face became more solemn.
Zhu Kuan quietly glanced at the marks on the ground, which seemed to be a car passing by, and then took a few steps back, reaching out to gauge the bullet holes on the three armored bodies.
After careful comparison, the expression on Zhu Kuan's face was even more shocked, if his guess was true, then this was definitely not good news for the Royal Army.
"Do you see something?" The platoon commander came over and asked, Zhu Kuan knows the most about armored vehicles, although they are all transferred from armored units, there is always a difference between people. The reason why Zhu Kuan was not promoted was because there was no vacant position in the tank unit at present, which everyone knew very well, with Zhu Kuan's ability and combat exploits, if he did not consider his qualifications, he could even be directly promoted to company commander.
Zhu Kuan nodded lightly, "The engine is gone, the main purpose of the Russian army should be to get our engine, even if it is wreckage, it will also help their research, and the radio station should have been discovered by accident, I think the reconnaissance unit should change a set of codebooks." Also, there are traces of tires on the ground, but judging by this width and wheel base, it should not be a truck, and this distance seems to be somewhat similar to our tank.
And I looked at the bullet holes of three armored vehicles, not in the same position, one in the back half of the right side, one in the front half of the left side, and one in the front.
At the speed of armored vehicles, occasionally hitting one does not mean anything, but three armored vehicles, in the same place, at the same time, were destroyed at the same time, and the location of the scars is different, it cannot be ruled out that the Russian artillery has this technology, but this possibility is not very large, as long as one armored car is shot, if the other two armored vehicles are advancing at full speed, in this terrain, at most less than half a minute, you can dodge that gun.
I suspect that the other side may already have tanks, but what the specific situation is, we still need to find the scene of the crime, and we will know by going there and looking. ”
In this case, as long as they know where the crime scene is and where they are, Zhu Kuan and the others can easily judge where the enemy was at that time based on the location of the bullet holes. Whether it's a tank or a stationary artillery, you can tell at a glance along that direction, if it's about to enter winter, it's not easy to see something, but at this time, it's still difficult to erase the marks on the ground.
"Send someone to find it immediately!" The platoon commander said to the infantry company commander with a solemn face, although the two are one level apart, the confidence of the tank unit is still very hard, and the situation is a little unsatisfactory, the infantry company commander did not say much, and immediately sent two platoons of troops to look for them along the traces on the ground.
Following the trail of the armored vehicle being towed, the infantry quickly found a path and found traces of the explosion there.
In fact, the earliest infantry who came over this place had already been found, but they didn't think much about it, their task was to find armored vehicles, not to analyze some other situations, but no matter what the mission goal was, now suddenly found out that the Russian army may have tanks, and the impact on the Royal Army is still very great.
