No matter how well the cover is, as long as this pseudo-Mongolian army walks to the ambush position of the first company, it will definitely find that there is an ambush there, and at that time it can only launch an attack in advance and fight an unsuccessful ambush battle.

Seeing the puppet Mongolian army getting closer and closer, Shi Zebo's heart hung nervously again.

Suddenly, the war horse of the puppet Mongolian army suddenly let out a mournful roar, and its front hooves were raised high, and it rotated at an angle before falling again. Due to the suddenness of the incident, he almost threw the puppet Mongolian cavalry off his horse.

Although in order not to expose the target, Shi Zebo did not dare to raise his head to observe carefully, and could not see what was going on there, but the position where the cavalry of the puppet Mongolian army was located, but Shi Zebo judged that the location of the puppet Mongolian army should not be far from the place where one of the groups of bazooka men was ambushed.

It must have been discovered by the puppet Mongolian army, Shi Zebo subconsciously raised his pistol, ready to give the order to attack.

However, there was no gunfire in front, which made Shi Zebo hesitate for a while.

Due to the obscuration of the grass, from Shi Zebo's position, he could only see the puppet Mongolian army and the short Mongolian horse he was riding, and could not see the sheltering position of the ambushed bazooka players.

The cavalry of the puppet Mongolian army looked down at the grass on horseback for a while, and then turned around and shouted a few loudly in Mongolian language in a little anger, which caused laughter from the puppet Mongolian soldiers behind.

The captain of the puppet Mongolian army shouted a few words in Mongolian again from a distance, and the puppet Mongolian army who walked on the river beach no longer searched forward, but rode on horseback, picked up the riding gun there, fired a few shots at the position of the first company, and then carefully checked and listened to the position of the first company for a while, and saw that there was no suspicious movement, so he reined in his horse, turned his horse's head and ran back to the river beach.

Just when Shi Zebo was a little confused, the company commander next to him touched Shi Zebo, and then pointed to a clump of hard needles that stood tall not far from the faces of the two people. Shi Zebo understood now, this must be the horse of the puppet Mongolian army that was injured by a needle, so he didn't go to check near the position, Shi Zebo couldn't help but secretly call luck.

The captain of the puppet Mongolian army took out a small red flag, shook it at the convoy behind him for a while, and then urged his horse and ran out of the ambush circle with this platoon of puppet Mongolian cavalry.

The convoy of 120 trucks was three kilometers long, and it was very imposing and majestic. Although the convoy was driving along the river beach, it was much drier because it was the dry season, and the smoke and dust rolled up from the place where the convoy passed.

In particular, the six tanks in the lead of the convoy were even more impressive, and in the roar, the steel tracks scattered the stone chips crushed by the cobblestones on the river beach.

Because the route of the Soviet troops was along the lines taken by their large forces, and in the valleys along the river banks. On the river beach, the water layer is shallow, and as long as it is turned slightly, it will reflect the water upwards and is very easy to detect, so this ambush did not lay mines on the river beach.

Six majestic T-18s were the first to enter the ambush area of the first battalion. More than 1,000 meters away, the tanks, which were traveling at a speed of nearly 20 kilometers per hour, led the convoy to the front of the position of the first battalion and one company on the southernmost side of the ambush circle.

When six T-18s carrying a platoon of Soviet infantry were about to drive out of the ambush area of the first company, the gun in Shi Zebo's hand finally rang out.

With the crisp sound of gunfire, the calm atmosphere in the valley was abruptly shattered.

A deafening sound of gunfire suddenly rang out in the ambush zone several kilometers long.

The dense shells fired by the 12 75mm mountain guns of the mountain artillery battalion and the mortars of the infantry battalion roared and rushed headlong into the chaotic convoy without hesitation, and then suddenly burst into a large group of fire around the convoy, and kicked up a large cloud of smoke and dust, more than a dozen trucks were immediately overturned on the river beach, and the truck that was hit by the fuel tank was even more ablaze.

The sudden blow immediately caused the Soviet convoy to be confused, and most of the trucks chose to make an emergency stop, and then the driver and the Soviet troops escorting the car jumped out of the car in panic to find cover to avoid the flying shrapnel and dense bullets.

However, some trucks increased the throttle and rushed out of the convoy, or chose to lunge forward in an attempt to quickly break out of the ambush circle; Or panickedly trying to turn the head of the car and want to go back, which made the Soviet convoy even more confused. In the chaos, many Soviet soldiers who did not have time to jump were thrown off their trucks, and some were even run over by their own trucks and died.

At the same time as the gunshots rang out, ten swarthy rockets suddenly flew out of the grass a few dozen meters in front of the company's position, dragging a long white trail and swooping down on the six T-18s.

The most profound feeling for such a strange scene was the Soviet troops in the platoon on the tank, who all sat on the tank with their mouths wide open in astonishment, and sat on the tank at a loss.

Such weird things, judging by the speed of flight, they will certainly not be shells? Surely it won't be a hand-dropped grenade?

Before the Soviet soldiers could react, these strange things slammed into the tank they were riding, and then there was an even more violent explosion.

The first and third T-18s were hit by one rocket on the tracks and one on the turret, the second, fourth, and sixth tanks were only hit on the tracks, and the rockets fired at the fifth tank grazed the turret of the tank, and fell far into the river over the convoy and exploded.

The turret of the T-18, with only six mm of side armor, was blown away without any suspense in the violent explosion of rockets, along with the Soviet troops on the tank, and at the same time detonated the shells in the car, and the broken wreckage of the two tanks was instantly surrounded by fire and smoke.

The three tanks whose tracks had been blown off were sunk in the sand as the tracks fell off, and they could only spin in place and could not move forward. The T-18, which weighed only 5.3 tons, was not even called a light tank in the Soviet Union, but only a small escort support tank. At the moment when the rocket hit the track, one side of the tank was lifted by the violent shock wave generated by the explosion more than ten centimeters high, throwing out all the Soviet troops on the vehicle.

The T-18, which was not shot, instinctively turned the turret in a panic after an emergency stop, searching for the target, ready to return fire.

The violent explosion outside made the Soviet tank crew understand that he was ambushed, and as a tank crew, he knew very well that the tanks at rest were the most vulnerable to anti-tank guns, and the best way to protect himself was to get his tanks moving. Therefore, after a short stop, the T-18 quickly adjusted the direction of the tank, and then rushed out of the convoy with increased horsepower.

At the moment when he rushed out of the convoy, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him crookedly, completely blocking the tank driver's vision, and the T-18, who had no time to stop, slammed into the uninvited guest, and with a loud bang, a truck that was almost about to rush out of the ambush circle with speed was knocked to the ground, and the driver with a bloody face had just pushed the car door and stood up, and half of his head was cut off by shrapnel from a shell that exploded nearby.

The Soviet soldiers on the truck were all thrown to the ground, and the stunned Soviet soldiers were better, and those who could move just straightened up before being beaten into a sieve by the dense rain of bullets.

Although the T-18 that caused the accident did not suffer any damage due to the collision, the overturned truck not only blocked its way, but also completely blocked its vision and the angle of the tank gun's fire. By this time, some of the Soviet troops had instinctively gathered behind it, waiting to follow it and charge.

The T-18 had no choice but to hit the truck with the bracket in front of the vehicle, which was originally used to cross obstacles, intending to push it away and clear the way forward and the angle of design.

The three tanks whose tracks had been blown off were also fully awake at this time, and although their hulls could not be moved, their turrets were still intact, and they all turned their turrets and began to shoot. This kind of hasty firing with complete courage was completely inaccurate, and the shells fell far behind the positions of the company.

Shi Zebo knew very well that these tanks would soon find their targets, and the tank guns were within one or two hundred meters, and it was effortless to remove the machine gun fire points, and they had to be knocked out as soon as possible.

The bazooka crews, who had already reloaded the rockets, began to exert their power again at this critical moment, and ten rockets once again fiercely pounced on the three tanks. All ten rockets accurately hit the riveted turret of the tank, and the three immobile tanks were immediately blown up beyond recognition, and a roaring flame erupted.

Seeing that all ten rockets were fired, and the tank that was not hit was pushing away the overturned truck, Shi Zebo was so angry that he slammed his fist on the grass. He secretly sighed that it would be nice if there was another 37mm anti-tank gun by his side, but unfortunately he didn't have it!

The anxious Shi Zebo saw at a glance the anti-aircraft machine guns of the panicked and scurrying Soviet soldiers, which made Shi Zebo's eyes light up.

Shi Zebo hurried to the machine gunner and shouted at the machine gunner: "Hit the location of the fuel tank of that car." Fast! ”

The upper part of the overturned truck was facing the position of the company, and the fuel tank was on the other side, and in order to hit the tank, it was necessary to break through the planks on the compartment. It may take some time for a typical gun to accomplish this task, but it is not a problem for a 14.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun.

The machine gunner took a slight aim and pulled the trigger.

"Knock, knock, knock." With the sound of gunshots that seemed to be as dense as the rain of war drums, the compartment panel that blocked the position of the fuel tank immediately turned into a flurry of white sawdust dancing with the "war drums", and the compartment board there disappeared almost instantly, and the truck tank was completely exposed.

The thin iron sheet of the fuel tank was undoubtedly unable to stop the 14.7mm armor-piercing bullets flying at high speed, and a large ball of fire suddenly rose up, and the truck and the tank that were trying to push it away were instantly enveloped in this flame.

In the flames, the T-18 roared and pushed away the burning truck, rushing out with a body of flames.

It's just that at this time, the tankers of the T-18 have no intention of looking for a target to attack, and the gasoline tank on the tank will soon ignite, and then there will definitely be an explosion, and if they don't run, the two crew members in the car will be burned alive in the tank.

But the outside was not much safer than the inside, and as soon as the two of them jumped out of the flames, their bodies flew to the side of the small tree whose branches had been broken by the wind, and under the blow of a dozen anti-aircraft machine gun large-caliber armor-piercing shells, half of their bodies flew to the side.

The infantry battalion of the Soviet Army, which was in charge of escorting, belonged to the Second Infantry Army of the Far East, and this army was attached to the Primorsky Territory when it was on the Middle East Road. In addition, this time, since crossing Tangnu Mountain, they have not encountered any resistance from the [***] team, which makes them think that the [***] team is vulnerable. Therefore, the defense along the way is relatively much lax.

Under the sudden blow of fierce firepower, the unprepared Soviet troops immediately became a mess, and the Soviet battalion commander wanted to command the troops to resist on the spot, but the opponent's firepower was so fierce that he could not gather troops at all, and he could not organize effective resistance.

Seeing that the Soviet army was in chaos, the direction of the third battalion responsible for the truncation first sounded the trumpet of the charge, followed by the second battalion in the middle of the ambush circle, and the fierce shouts of killing broke out from the positions of the two battalions, but the gunfire and artillery sound there also weakened significantly.

If the enemy is fighting against the domestic army in the interior, and the opponent encounters a surprise attack, and the firepower is at an absolute disadvantage, after launching a charge, the opponent is in a panic, and more than 90 percent of the troops will immediately break and flee.

However, the two battalion commanders, who only had experience in the civil war, chose the time to launch the charge this time was a little inappropriate.

Not only did the Soviets not begin to flee as they imagined, but on the contrary, they took advantage of the fact that the firepower of the two battalions had greatly weakened after the charge, and quickly organized, relying on trucks and bombed-out tanks, set up M1910 heavy machine guns and Depp turntable light machine guns, and began to fire frantically at the charging second and third battalions.

The Depp turntable light machine gun was deployed to the squad as a squad machine gun in the Soviet army, with a large ammunition capacity of 47 rounds, which was a great threat to the charging infantry.

The M1910 heavy machine gun was also developed by the Nagant brothers for the Russian [***] team. The bullets used are the same as those of the turntable light machine gun, both of which are 7.62×54mm M1908R with bottom rim, except that they are fed by a 250-round cartridge belt, placed on a wheeled mount, and have a shield.

Although the second and third battalions were also equipped with a large number of ZB-26 light machine guns, the ZB-26, which was known for its accuracy, had a magazine capacity of only 20 rounds compared with these two light and heavy machine guns, and was completely at a disadvantage in short-range fire, and was quickly suppressed.

Under the cover of the dense fire network composed of more than a dozen light and heavy machine guns of the Soviet army, the Soviet infantry also crawled out of their shelters and fired at the assault troops with the Mosin Nagant rifles in their hands......
