Belka, originally just a very ordinary town, if there was no railway and a station here, there would not even be people living here, and the river became the only obstacle to this place. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But the situation in the Russian Far East is basically the same, it is basically impossible to find a slightly larger city here, and the Russian Far East has fully shown people what it means to be vast and sparsely populated.

If you have to compare one place, maybe only the Gobi Desert in northwest China can fight with them, but the geographical environment of the two is very different, one is not suitable for human habitation, and the other is suitable in all aspects.

But in any case, in just half a month, the small town of Belka has undergone earth-shaking changes, the scale of this place has been expanded several times in an instant, and the number of people has also increased from hundreds to more than 10,000, but unfortunately, these more than 10,000 people are not ordinary residents, but the army of the Chinese Empire.

They used everything around them to arrange a large number of positions around Belka, and under the premise of not having any supplies, they actually held here for half a month, and even repelled several enemy attacks, and what was even more frustrating was that around Belka, there were no less than 30,000 Russian troops, but the town still showed no signs of being breached.

Because the Russian army has blocked everything on the periphery, Loew does not want to take risks, and this time, he will evaluate the war from an outsider's point of view.

According to the data, there were three infantry regiments in the town, with a strength of nearly 10,000 men, and there was also a tank battalion of eighty-four tanks. He came here mainly to investigate the role of tanks in defensive operations, although it was a little far away from the battlefield, and many things Loew couldn't see clearly, or even couldn't see, but this did not affect Loew's judgment.

After all, there is still a lot of no-man's land around, and Loew can even move to any place he thinks is suitable to watch the battle, even if it is farther away, he just needs to know the general steps and the final result.

In terms of troops, the Chinese Empire did not have an advantage, but in terms of firepower, they had an absolute advantage, and the Russians did not know what to think, so they sent more than 30,000 people over, and there were quite a few cavalry, but the most important artillery never saw a shadow.

The fact that there were no artillerymen in a battle of this magnitude also puzzled Loew, but there was no way for him to find out some of the inside information.

The troops far away in Belka also received the order of the front command to attack the general, although they are still more than 100 kilometers away from the main battlefield, but in order to prevent the Russian army here from suddenly supporting the Borja battlefield, they must also find a way to attract the Russian army to attack and let all their troops be trapped here as much as possible.

And the life of the Russian army is not easy, nearly ten days, more than 30,000 Russian troops have never been able to get through Belka, and the geographical location of Belka is extremely important, if you can't take Belka in a day, then the railway can't be opened to traffic in a day, although Borja has hoarded a lot of supplies, but it can't withstand the huge consumption of 90,000 troops, so there are actually not many supplies on Borja's side.

If Belka is still not able to be reached within half a month, Borgia's Russian army will face the danger of running out of food, and at the same time, in this war, the Russian army will be more passive.

After fighting all day yesterday, the Russian army was forced to stop the attack after losing nearly 1,000 people, and the losses were huge, but the progress was not at all, and the muddy roads were not suitable for infantry attacks at all, even the cavalry would be affected here to a certain extent.

As for rushing directly with a train, they hadn't tried this trick, but before the train could rush over, it was blocked by more than a dozen tanks, and a train was directly destroyed on the tracks, and hundreds of the thousands of soldiers on it were killed by the tanks waiting there.

And after the failure of this trick, it is impossible for the Russian army to use this trick again, unless they directly push the broken train over, but this is obviously impossible.

Zhu Kuan took a sharp puff of his cigarette, and then threw the cigarette butt on the ground, not bothering to step on it at all, the muddy ground had already extinguished the cigarette butt.

After cleaning up the dirt on the boots on the tank tracks, Zhu Kuan got into the tank and commanded the driver Ansan to start the tank and start a new day of operations.

Although they did not receive new supplies, they carried a lot of supplies when they first came, and when the second batch of two regiments came to support them, they also carried enough supplies for their use, so for the time being, they were not short of supplies.

But I have to say that this battle is really boring and boring.

The Russian army on the opposite side is not their opponent at all, and the tanks do not dare to rush too hard, so as not to be surrounded by the Russian army, and then destroy the tanks with explosives or something.

Therefore, every attack is to advance to a distance of several hundred meters, and then use tank guns and coaxial machine guns to attack the Russian army, the effect was not bad at the beginning, but in the back, the Russian army with a long memory became more and more thieves, which also led to their results being worse day by day, but the war continued, and no one on either side dared to stop.

Zhu Kuan commanded the tank to advance unhurriedly as before, ready to use the same plan as the other day to consume the day.

Although they received the order to attack, to be honest, in their situation here, it is really not suitable for attacking, after all, it is mainly defensive, all the fortifications are ready-made, and it is obviously not cost-effective for the troops to attack out, besides, their materials cannot support them to attack on the initiative.

Therefore, the order of the commander of the Belka garrison was to have the tank battalion take charge of the main attack, and then attract the Russian army to attack their defensive line, so as to delay the Russian army in this relatively passive way.

At the same time, the entire reconnaissance company was also released, and they went around to observe the movements of the Russian army, and as soon as the Russian army showed signs of supporting Borja, the tank battalion would immediately attack to intercept them.

After half a month of non-stop fighting, there are still 82 tanks in a battalion that can be used normally, while the two tanks that could not fight were forced to break down because of some minor failures because there were no parts to replace.

Although it can continue to fight if it is not replaced, no one dares to guarantee that the tank will not break down on the battlefield, so the tank battalion does not dare to be careless.

Such a failure rate is actually quite good, after fighting for so long, only two tanks have some minor failures, and they were forced to break down because of human reasons.

And because of the industrial level, in fact, the current Boar tank is more like the Soviet-style tank of later generations, because many parts are very rough, so it also creates a strong adaptability of the tank, and will not directly fail because of a problem with a certain part.

The German tank is just the opposite, because of the stubbornness of the Germans, coupled with the spirit of excellence, which certainly makes their tanks more than half of the enemy in terms of performance, but the problem is the same, the slightest problem, the tank has to be repaired, otherwise it is possible to break down directly, and in serious cases, it will even lead to a large-scale failure of the entire tank.

After seeing the tanks coming, the Russian army seemed to have adapted to this kind of day, and jumped directly into the trenches one by one, leaving only a few observation posts for the tanks to attack.

After shooting sporadically for several hours, eighty-two tanks also consciously chose to retreat, the Russian army was too shrewd to have any head-on confrontation with the tanks at all, and the tank battalion did not dare to rush over because it was afraid that it would be besieged after rushing into the Russian position, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

Although the role of tanks is great, in the absence of infantry cooperation, as now, they can only be helpless. Even, even if only one battalion of infantry cooperates with the tank battalion, they are sure to tear apart the positions of the Russian army, and even directly defeat the Russian army in front.

But there is no way, who made the commander of Belka the commander of the infantry regiment? And the regiment commander's tactical thinking is also a bit conservative, not seeking to defeat the Russian army here, as long as he drags them to death here and does not let them support Borja.

The old concept of the commander has caused this embarrassing situation.

And the commander of the tank battalion has approached the commander more than once, but each time the opinion has been rejected, and none of them dares to act rashly without the order of their superiors.

So, they mixed up for another day, and the Russian army showed no signs of supporting Borja, nor did it show signs of attacking Belka, but the Russian army also knew very well that they had no time to continue to drag on, and they had to find a way to deal with the enemy in Belka.

So, after the retreat of the tank battalion, the Russian army formulated a new offensive plan, they planned to use the help of darkness at night to raid Belka, although the casualties will be large, but it will still reduce many casualties than the daytime attack.

It's just that when the Russian army made a decision and had not yet implemented it, the Borja battlefield ahead underwent earth-shattering changes.

Under the leadership of more than 200 tanks, more than 100,000 Imperial Chinese Army troops frantically flocked to 90,000 Russian troops, and a tank battalion at the forefront was like a sharp knife, rampage on the battlefield without any jealousy, directly breaking through one Russian defense line after another.

Before the Russian army could react, the second attack echelon of Tanbu in the rear had already arrived on the battlefield, continuing to expand the advantages established by the first wave of tank attack troops, and then a large number of infantry quickly expanded the results along the gap.

In this way, from point to point, plus more than 200 tanks kept ramming one defense line after another, in just half a day's effort, the Russian army lost half of the defense line, and the casualties were even more heavy and there was nothing to say. (To be continued.) )
