715 Battle of Warsaw (XIII): engagement

Yeager finally waited for the reinforcements of the Tang Army that he had dreamed of, and the Tang Army was actually not reinforcements, but ambushes. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Yue Zhenfu directly sent the armored troops of the Tang Army and began to intercept the Russian troops from the side of the Russian army's advance. On the vast and flat plains of Poland, a good show was staged in which the armored corps pursued the Cossack cavalry.

The Germans even temporarily organized a group of cavalry to follow the armored corps of the Don Army, relying on the horses of the captured Cossack cavalry. Although they did not have infantry fighting vehicles, the infantry on horseback was at least able to keep up with the speed of the movement of the armored corps.

After holding back a breath of bad breath, the Germans were finally able to vent themselves. In the eleventh hour after the appearance of the Tang Army on the battlefield, the armored corps of the Tang Army and the 2nd Marine Regiment encountered the vanguard of the Russian-Prussian army on the banks of the Bug River. The Russian-Prussian army commanded by Suvorov marched in echelons, and this had the advantage of being relatively balanced, and the front and rear could be better taken care of.

The vanguard of the Russian army, led by Eaglestrom, had about 38,000 men, and the left and right flanks were more powerful Cossack cavalry. Eaglestrom apparently already learned about the entry of the armored units of the Don Army from the fleeing Cossacks. Compared to the uninformed Cossacks, the Russian general Eaglestrom knew about the powerful armored forces of the Don Army, which had easily broken through the Anglo-Dutch defenses before. Moreover, when Catherine II took the initiative to establish diplomatic relations with the Tang Republic, she also put forward a request to purchase these outstanding weapons of war from the Tang Dynasty.

As can be seen by almost all discerning commanders, these excellent weapons of speed, defense, and firepower will come out to become the true rulers of the battlefield. And more European generals are also looking at using what they have in their hands to develop a tactic that can deal with armored forces. There is no doubt that the British are at the forefront of this because they have the most pressing needs in this area. The French and Germans, on the other hand, were relatively less eager, because they did not anticipate a war with the Tang Dynasty, and they were now allies in a pair of pants.

Eaglestrom was not completely out of the question, and based on the information he had obtained, he knew that rifle machine guns could not penetrate the armor of the tanks of the Don Army, only artillery. The number of artillery in the Russian army is not small, but the performance is mostly poor, and it does not play a role in the back. Therefore, he could only place the artillery as far as possible at the front of the position, and it was obviously stupid to do so, because the artillery after the anti-tank, even if it succeeded, would obviously be destroyed by the artillery that caught up first.

Mo Rulong, the commander of the 17th Armored Regiment of the Ninth Brigade of the Tang Army, stood on the high ground at the front of the battlefield, looked at this scene with a telescope, smiled after reading it, and said: "With such a position, is our enemy a little brainless?" ”

His political commissar Xu Xiao also smiled: "Probably Eagle Strom thinks that when our armored troops charge, this arrangement can at least weaken us relatively largely." ”

Mo Rulong said disdainfully: "Not to mention their artillery, most of them are smoothbore guns, and their performance is low, besides, do you think that our Tang Army has no artillery?" ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the signal corps to bring a request from the front finger, and the front command asked the self-propelled artillery battalion of the 17th Panzer Regiment to launch an artillery bombardment together with the divisional artillery, and the goal was self-evident, that is, the artillery that those idiots had placed in front of the position.

The deployment of forces of the Don Army is much more flexible than that of the Russian army. The 17th Armored Regiment of Mo Rulong, who was in charge of the frontal assault mission, was accompanied by two infantry regiments of the same brigade, both of which were also equipped with tank battalions. In fact, when it really started armored combat, the Tang Army's infantry battalion and tank battalion seemed to play a similar role, which made people feel helpless.

There is also an infantry division of the German army with relatively complete combat strength on the front, more than 10,000 people, plus a regiment of the European division of the Tang Army, which is completely enough to cooperate with the tanks and tanks of the Tang Army, and the role of the combat vehicles on the battlefield is obviously not to fight with the tanks, but to use the heavy machine guns and machine guns on their vehicles to cause damage to the enemy. A large number of infantry can cooperate with the combat of vehicles and tanks at this time, and complete effective coordination.

The 2nd Marine Regiment of the Tang Army made a detour in the north, with the purpose of going around to the flank of the Russian army, and the infantry unit of the 2nd Marine Regiment was the Gurkha Brigade of the Special Corps of the Tang Army.

Speaking of which, in the face of Eaglestrom's Russian forward troops, the Tang Army actually invested no less troops than the Russian army, in order to succeed in one fell swoop and eat all the Russian troops.

The Tang army dealt with the Russian army and fought with forces similar to it, and it was possible to give a verdict of "bullying". What's more, the artillery strength of the frontal Tang Army is almost excessive, every infantry regiment, machine infantry regiment and armored regiment of the Tang Army has an artillery battalion, the brigade artillery battalion of the 9th Brigade is still here, and the divisional artillery regiment of the 3rd Division also has a battalion of strength here. Coupled with the German artillery, the Tang Army arranged a terrible more than 200 artillery pieces on this side, all of which were medium and large caliber howitzers of more than 105 mm caliber, and their power was considerable.

The infantry and armored regiments and divisional artillery are 105-mm self-propelled guns, and the brigade artillery is 155-mm towed heavy guns, and the divisional heavy artillery battalions are not located here. Self-propelled guns are more efficient in their firepower and can constantly adjust their firing positions with the attack, while the heavy guns of brigade artillery are more powerful.

Artillery of this scale will naturally not only attack the Russian artillery that is arranged in front of the infantry, but can actually cover the entire Russian army. At this time, the Russian army was still frantically preparing the trenches, trying to make it more or less convenient when the position was defended for a while, but when the artillery bombardment of the Don Army began, Eaglestrom completely collapsed.

Shelling like the end of the world, countless shells smashed into the Russian army like huge meteorites falling from the sky. I am afraid that no country's army in this world has imagined such a terrible firepower projection, and the Tang Army has taken a road of pursuing the ultimate firepower since its establishment. What you want is more intense firepower and more efficient.

So when the Russian army was under this terrible shelling, it was almost a thin sheet of beef sashimi, placed on a red-hot iron plate, and it was cooked only by hearing the sound of the sting. (To be continued.) )
