394: Armored forces are advancing
'Dangdang~~~'
It was just before six o'clock, and there was still about an hour and a half before dawn, and the armored soldiers, who had just rested for an hour, were woken up by the infantry outside, and the infantry's eyes were full of envy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"The platoon commander asked you to go over for a meeting, and the rest of the people had breakfast as soon as possible to solve personal problems." Zhu Kuan poked his head out, a little dazed, he didn't sleep much all night yesterday, and the infantry outside said to Zhu Kuan.
"Okay, I got it." Zhu Kuan nodded, rubbed his face vigorously, forced himself to be more sober, and at the same time got into the tank, kicked the other two guys with his foot, woke them up, and then got out of the tank with his military coat.
The space inside the tank is so small that he can't even stretch out to put on clothes, and Zhu Kuan doesn't want to wear clothes inside.
Now all tanks are overloaded, and the inside of each tank, in addition to the ammunition racks that are filled, is also loaded with ten more boxes, that is, thirty shells, and two thousand rounds of machine gun ammunition.
Although Wang Sirui had high hopes for the armored division, no matter what the aspect, it was an absolute guarantee priority, and the performance of the armored division was also very good, and in several exercises, the enemy who was several times his own was defeated.
But after all, it was just an exercise, and the biggest problem of the armored division at present was that they had no actual combat experience, and they did not even know the correct material ratio, and the officers and men still maintained the old-fashioned thinking, thinking that ammunition was a murderous guy, and they could still bring more if they could bring more, and even the officers had the same idea.
The platoon commander was transferred from the reconnaissance vehicle unit, and although he had never driven a tank before, nor had he commanded tank operations, there was no doubt that the experience of the reconnaissance vehicle unit was enough to make him qualified for the position of tank platoon commander, for no other reason, except for those people, there were no suitable officers in the tank unit.
"Okay, the mission has come down, in the small town of Abatu Gai, five kilometers away from us, there are about four hundred to six hundred Russian soldiers stationed, and seven kilometers behind Abatu Gaiyi, scouts have found a large number of Russian troops, the exact number is not yet determined, but it seems that there are at least several thousand. And the task of our platoon, together with a battalion of the infantry regiment, was to capture Abatu Gaiyi. The other side did not have heavy weapons, and the scout only saw a heavy machine gun, so we must be careful in the next mission and not accidentally injure our own people.
In addition, pay attention to the distance between the tank and the infantry, do not rush too hard, throw the infantry too far, and do not forget some of the essentials of the previous training.
Let's assign a specific task, 311 car group, you and a company of infantry around, you don't need to attack, once the Russian army withdraws from the town of Abatugai, find a way to annihilate them. 312 Crew, you and a company of infantry attacking from the left, 313 Crew, you and a company of infantry attacking from the front, 314 Crew, you and a company of infantry attacking from the right, my 315 Fleet will be cruising around the perimeter, and if you need support, I will rush over as soon as possible.
It's 6 o'clock, we set off at 6:20 a.m., and we launched an attack on time at 6:40 a.m., do you have any questions? The platoon commander said the tasks and requirements in one breath.
A few people nodded, and there were no questions.
The enemy has no heavy firepower, the only heavy firepower is a heavy machine gun, for the infantry, the heavy machine gun is indeed their natural enemy, but they have tanks, tanks are not afraid of heavy machine guns at all, as long as the heavy machine gun dares to take the lead, they are sure to kill the opponent's heavy machine gun within two shells.
"Okay, this is our first battle, and it is also the first battle of this war against Russia, and what this war can be fought depends on our platoon. The infantry will come to you in a moment, and each of you will communicate briefly first, so as not to make any mistakes in the battle. The platoon commander continued to remind.
Zhu Kuan and the others nodded, and at the same time, their hearts were full of excitement, yes, they were excited, without a trace of fear.
Armored soldiers go to fight infantry, do you still need to be afraid of this? To put it mildly, they just took five artillery pieces and five machine guns and an infantry battalion to fight a battalion of the enemy, this huge disparity in strength, will they fail? Anyway, no matter what he thought, Zhu Kuan couldn't think of a reason to fail.
Back at Tank No. 313, Zhu Kuan and the other two members of the tank crew had some breakfast together, which was the dry food distributed by the troops yesterday, and during the war, there was not so much hot breakfast for them to eat.
After a brief bite of food, I drank cold water, and at about 6:35 a.m., a group of men and horses walked towards Tank 313.
A company had seventeen squads, sixteen of which were infantry, divided into four platoons, and a heavy fire support squad, equipped with a Maxim heavy machine gun and a 60 mm mortar, which was staffed.
A year ago, the Type 03 automatic rifle was officially installed in the army, but because of the production, although the real reason was that the logistics of the Chinese Empire could not support such a huge consumption, it had to be announced that it was the reason for the production.
Therefore, the Type 03 automatic rifle is only equipped with one per squad, and this rifle naturally fell into the hands of the squad leader, that is to say, the current squad is equipped with a Type 03 automatic rifle and eleven Mauser rifles, and the firepower is much more fierce than before.
A captain walked up to Zhu Kuan, saluted Zhu Kuan, and then stretched out his right hand, and Zhu Kuan responded with a salute, and then stretched out his right hand.
"Captain Guan Yonggang, Company Commander of the 301st Company of the 4th Battalion of the 2nd Regiment!"
"301 Tank Sergeant Commander of the 2nd Battalion, 1st Company, 1st Platoon, 313 Tank Sergeant, Zhu Kuan!"
"I hope that this cooperation can allow both of us to achieve good results." Guan Yonggang smiled and held Zhu Kuan's hand tightly.
Although one of the two is a captain and the other is a sergeant, Guan Yonggang has never looked down on the sergeant in front of him, during training, whoever is grouped together with the 313 car group will have a great chance of winning.
And the 313 crew's control of this tank has reached the point of madness, and he can even rush over quickly, and then stop at a distance of less than the width of your palm.
After Guan Yonggang learned that the tank he cooperated with this time was the No. 313 tank, he was also a little excited and unbearable, and his soldiers were even more gearing up, ready to follow the 313 tank.
"Company Commander Guan, there is one thing that needs to remind you, when the battle will be held, your troops must pay attention to the position of my tank, subject to the front of the body, twenty meters in front of the car, within forty-five degrees of the oblique angle on both sides is a forbidden area, no one is allowed to enter, of course, I will also pay attention, but after all, it is on the battlefield, it is inevitable that there will be some places that cannot be noticed." Zhu Kuan kindly reminded that this is the rule of the 313 tank, and no matter which company cooperates with them, they must abide by this rule.
"Don't worry, I've already explained." Guan Yonggang smiled and responded.
The 313 crew is a freak, their rules will make the cooperative infantry very uncomfortable, but they have to admire them, so that many tanks have formed this rule with the 313, and over time, the armored infantry regiment has also begun to pay attention to this point to avoid their infantry being accidentally injured by tanks.
'Boom~~~' At 6:20, the five tanks were officially launched, and the infantry followed behind the tanks, slowly advancing forward.
The rest of the infantry were also packing their things, and they had their own missions, and the scouts found a large number of Russian troops in the rear, which also forced the armored division to change its battle plan and transfer two regiments of infantry and a battalion of tanks to the rear to deal with the enemy there.
But in any case, as long as the enemy is found, then it is a good thing, the number of enemies is only so much, they can't even hate that all the enemies are here, in this way, they can also be supplied nearby, and complete the combat mission.
The noise of the tank is very loud, if you stay with the tank for a long time, the ears will have tinnitus, and the sound of the tank's engine can be clearly heard from dozens of meters away, if you want to be completely inaudible, at least 200 meters away.
If the tank is stationary, it needs to be 100 meters away to be able to do so.
But at the moment, no one cares about this problem, where is the lethality of the tank, what if the noise is louder? It's a big deal to stop a kilometer outside the enemy, with the speed of a tank's charge, this kilometer is at best a two-minute effort, and in two minutes, the enemy is just getting ready, so the actual impact is not great.
Zhu Kuan commanded the 313 tank to stop about 800 meters in front of the town, because the weather was relatively cold and the battle was about to start, so the tank did not turn off.
The company commander behind him commanded the infantry to disperse, and the entire infantry company was divided into five parts, one of which followed the tank to provide protection for the tank, and the remaining four platoons were dispersed, led by the tank, advancing parallel to the town.
Although there are 400 to 600 Russian troops stationed in Abatugay, in fact, the town of Abatugay is not large, only less than 100 houses, the whole town is a square structure, if the armored division has sufficient combat experience, a battle of this scale can be solved with only one tank and a company of infantry.
However, because the armored division had no combat experience and the grassroots command officers tended to be conservative, they sent a platoon of five tanks and an infantry battalion to occupy the town.
At 6:40, when it was time to attack, Zhu Kuan leaned out of the tank turret with half of his body and made a gesture to the infantry behind him, and then, the driver Ansan skillfully pushed the controller, and the tank rushed forward, the speed at first was not fast, but then, the speed of the tank became faster and faster.
And the infantry behind them has always been able to keep up with the rhythm of the tank, at the beginning of the trott, after their bodies warmed up, and after adapting to the environment here, the tank sped up, Ansan did a good job in mastering the rhythm of the infantry, which is why the 313 tank has been able to become the winner repeatedly.
