462: The Russian army that is on the verge of collapse at the touch of a button
Qian Xiaofeng reported the situation of the 606th Regiment to the brigade headquarters, and then the rest was not his problem, how the brigade headquarters should decide, it was the brigade department's own business, and now what Qian Xiaofeng has to do is to resolve the current crisis. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Qian Xiaofeng immediately ordered the soldiers of the fourth battalion to detour behind the Russian army in the west and launch an attack on the Russian troops who feinted, but the facts proved that Qian Xiaofeng's guess was indeed true, the total number of Russian troops attacked was about 5,000 people, but the inferior equipment made them dare not go to the 606th regiment to fight hard, so they could only shoot from a distance and pretend to attack.
When the four battalions circled and suddenly launched an attack, more than 1,000 Russian troops on the west side instantly collapsed, leaving behind hundreds of corpses and fleeing in a hurry. The Russian troops on the other sides also fled in fright after hearing the gunfire in the west.
At this time, the Russian army's will to fight is still very low, it lacks all kinds of houses, it can't eat and wear, and it can't beat the enemy. Now the morale of the Russian army has not yet been negative, and it is already considered thankful, and the Russian army at this time desperately needs a victory to boost the morale of the army.
But the reality is very cruel, there is an obvious gap in strength between the two sides, and this is not something that the Russian army can win if it wants to win. Just like the Pingxingguan in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in later generations, in order to achieve this victory to boost the morale of the army, our army did not make a lot of efforts back then, first of all, it selected the most suitable target troops.
The Fifth Division of the Japanese Army, this unit is not a soft persimmon, and its combat effectiveness is among the top three units in the Japanese army.
But at that time, it was true that the Fifth Division could not be defeated, so what should be done? Fortunately, I picked a soft persimmon from the Fifth Division to pinch it, so our army fell in love with a baggage team of the Fifth Division, with a total of about 1,000 people. Although there were some combat units in it, it was not a big problem, so after occupying various advantages such as terrain, the enemy who suffered 800 casualties and 1,000 self-losses won the victory.
Although it was a disastrous victory, as soon as this news came out, it did play a role in boosting morale, and even if the battle damage was announced at that time, it would cause great shock, and the casualty ratio had basically reached 1:1, which was unbelievable in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, even the regular army of Nanjing's descendants could not do it.
Therefore, it can only be said that the Russian army has picked the wrong object again and again, the scale is too small to play its due role, and the slightly larger one cannot be swallowed by the Russian army, the baggage team? If it weren't for the fact that the Russian army was indeed about to survive now, they wouldn't have considered the baggage team, and a very strange custom had also formed on the Russian battlefield, that is, the baggage team of the Chinese Empire was not easy to fight, and it was even more tenacious than some combat units.
What's more, although they are not combat troops, their combat effectiveness is not small at all, not only equipped with a large number of heavy machine guns, but also a large number of mortars, plus the attribute bonus of the baggage team, basically has an inexhaustible ammunition, unless the Russian army can solve the battle before they react, otherwise, it is difficult for the Russian army to swallow the baggage team.
……
The road on the front line is not easy to walk, although the early troops have opened a road, and now the truck has snow chains and wreckers, the traffic capacity has been greatly guaranteed, but the ground is still too slippery, and the place that was pressed by the truck before has formed a hard ice cube, and it has basically been indestructible for a long time in this temperature environment, even the role of the snow chain on it has been somewhat reduced.
If it weren't for the fact that there were three tanks in front of them to open the way, using tracks to destroy the ice surface as much as possible and provide more grip for the trucks behind, it is estimated that this mission would have taken them at least one more day to complete.
And this is a special mission, they not only need to deliver the New Year materials to the hands of the 606th Regiment, but also send several people over. It was not so much to send a tank platoon and a battalion of troops to escort the baggage brigade as to ensure the safety of these men.
The five people scattered in the two trucks, their faces were a little tired, they kept hurrying all the way, and walked in the ice and snow for a few days, the environment here was so bad that they couldn't imagine it, just a few days, it was a little unbearable for them, and those soldiers who stayed here to fight all year round, how hard should they be?
"Battalion Commander Lu, the 606th Regiment has just sent a telegram that they have been feinted by a large number of Russian troops, and they guess that the other party's target may be us, and we need to be careful." After receiving the telegram, Ning Chengshu, the commander of the Seventh Baggage Battalion, immediately found Lu Bing, the commander of the infantry battalion who was in charge of escorting the mission.
"Okay, I know, you should pay more attention, and retreat immediately if the situation is not right." Lu Bing nodded, immediately cheered up, jumped out of the truck, and then called a company commander, and after a while, about a platoon of troops quickly ran forward, and the speed of the whole team slowed down.
Every hour, Lu Bing would release a platoon of troops to take over the troops in front, and then when the large troops walked over, the troops of that platoon would get on the car and rest.
The trucks of the combat troops were in slightly better condition than those of the baggage troops, and the bodies were covered with a canvas cart, and although they were ventilated everywhere, the charcoal fire burning in a few iron barrels still warmed them a lot, and even if they sat on the car, their bodies would not be frozen.
Not long after the fourth group of troops was dispatched, there was finally a dense burst of gunfire from the front, and after hearing the gunfire, two tanks immediately rushed up, followed by Lu Bing and three companies of troops to support.
It seems that the guess of the 606th Regiment is true, and the Russian army is really eyeing their heavy troops.
Inside the tank, Sun Bing is energetically observing the situation outside through the scope, the white expanse does have a great impact on him at the beginning, but after getting used to it, it can basically ensure normal combat, and although the snow combat is more restrictive to the tank, it also has an advantage, that is, the enemy's inconvenience in moving, which can make the coaxial machine gun and tank gun more easy to hit the other party.
"At three o'clock, in the woods, the Russian army is engaged with the reconnaissance force, the specific number is unknown." After a while, Sun Bing saw the Russian army in the woods.
"There are also enemies on the left, notify the tanks in the back, we clean up the right, they are responsible for the left." Zhu Kuan calmly ordered, and immediately picked up a cannonball and handed it to Sun Bing.
Because of the telegram, the coaxial machine gun did not fire the first time to attack, but on the battlefield, all telegrams are composed of simple code, this code can be very simple, as simple as only one or two codes, at different times, the same code represents different meanings.
This is a detailed regulation in the tank unit, which is why ordinary telegraph soldiers cannot serve as tank communicators, without training, even if you can use the radio, you will not be able to cooperate well with the battle.
Chen Zhichao notified the tank behind him with a short code, and then took a headset and manipulated the coaxial machine gun to aim at the dense forest on the right side, and directly pulled the trigger.
A long chain of fire suddenly crashed into the trees and the Russian soldiers, although there were trees as cover, but for a time the Russian army still suffered losses, about three Russian soldiers were hit by machine guns.
The 75 mm tank gun was more than twice as powerful as the 37 mm gun, and the ammunition was the latest high-explosive ammunition, and the lethality of the shell was almost five times that of the 37 tank gun.
And since changing this tank, Zhu Kuan and his crew can hardly find any opponent, and every time they appear on the battlefield, it basically means the beginning of the massacre.
A 75-mm high-explosive artillery shell drilled into the woods, and before it could hit the ground, it hit a tree, and after passing through the tree, the shell hit the second number and then caused a violent explosion, exploding in the air, shrapnel wantonly killed these Russian soldiers, and the number of the center of the explosion was even more on, and the number of them fell down.
Of course, it is impossible for a fire to rise in this environment, for the simple reason that there is a lot of snow on the trunks, and the heat will melt the snow and slowly extinguish the fire.
The environment of the woods limits the combat range of the tank, and Ansan can only drive the tank on the main road to keep moving forward, and then reverse, and the role of the tank gun in this situation is not obvious, but the coaxial machine gun is mixed like a fish in water, and it is busy killing and injuring one Russian army after another.
With the addition of two tanks, the offensive of the Russian army was instantly suppressed, and a platoon of reconnaissance troops also began to have the ability to take the initiative to attack, but they did not choose to attack recklessly, but waited for reinforcements from the rear.
The inside of the tank may not be able to see clearly, but the soldiers who are outside can see it clearly, there are at least 2,000 Russian troops on both sides, and they will choose to take the initiative to attack unless they are crazy.
An infantry member hid in a place where the Russian army could not attack, and kept gesturing at the tanks, trying to tell them the situation in the woods, and the two tanks did see the infantry's reminder, but before they could react, the Russian army had already retreated.
That's right, it's a retreat.
At the moment when the Russian army saw the appearance of the tank, although they still had an advantage in numbers, the Russian army was not stupid, according to past experience, as long as there were tanks, then it would definitely not be a single one or two, at least it would be a tank platoon, plus an infantry battalion.
If you add the strength of the baggage team, the more than 2,000 people of them are not enough to stuff people's teeth, what can they do if they don't flee at this time? Do you rush up and kill yourself? (To be continued.) )
