"Comrade Political Commissar, the snipers in China are so powerful that the snipers who were just sent have been killed."

Behind the second line of defense in the Soviet direction, the commander of a Soviet infantry regiment guarding the front, Hashakov, was reporting the latest situation to his immediate superior, the divisional commissar.

This infantry regiment was subordinate to the 286 Infantry Regiment of the Eighth Army of the Siberian Military District of the USSR, and it was not their defensive task to be at the forefront of the defensive line. But in the shelling, the forward regiments had already suffered heavy losses, and the Soviet side simply gathered these mutilated regiments together and temporarily reduced them into a single regiment.

Hashakov was glad that he had escaped the shelling, but he did not expect that at that time, the entire command headquarters was bombarded, the entire senior cadres of the regiment were killed, and even his partner political commissar died under the shells, and he survived alone, and only suffered minor injuries. He was pulled out of the mound by the soldiers afterwards and directly ordered to be the commander of this hastily integrated force.

He couldn't say anything about promotion, but he felt that the power of the army in his hands had become larger, because this consolidated regiment had 5,000 people. It was only in dreams that he could experience what it was like to command an army of five thousand men. However, when it comes to whether Gao is unhappy, Hashakov does not feel happy at all.

Like many Soviet servicemen, from the moment they received their troops and left for Kyakhta. Everyone has a feeling that the opportunity has come, and the time has come to make a difference. They will enter China and occupy a large amount of land to promote their military exploits, thus paving the way to prosperity.

Countless times they have fantasized that their military uniforms are full of military merit medals, division commanders, army commanders, and they are getting closer and closer. In the future, they will also be glorious generals, and a good life awaits them.

It's just that in the past two or three days, they have all seen the strength of the Chinese army. Especially to see those comrades-in-arms who didn't even know what the Chinese soldiers looked like, one by one died under the heavy artillery of China. They shouted in their hearts countless times: why, why is the situation the way it is, isn't heavy artillery the strong point of the Soviet Union? How is it that today, the great soldiers of the Soviet Red Army, like rats, hide in their bunkers and suffer shelling, and pray that the shells do not fall directly on their heads. Why, shouldn't it be the Chinese soldiers who were shelled? Why did the Soviet artillery lose so quickly, just to see the hope, the hope was shattered. It's so unfair that dreams have also vanished.

"Hold your ground, Comrade Khashakov, don't worry about the snipers, the tank units of the evil imperialists are coming, and you have to think about how to defend against the opponent's tanks now. Even if they were the last to die, they would have to carry explosives bags and die with the enemy's tanks, opening the way for our armored forces to move forward. ”

"Yes, on your orders, Comrade Commissar."

Although he was a little resentful about letting his troops be cannon fodder, Hashakov had no objection, whether it was his rank or political identity, he was far from being compared with the division commissar in front of him, he could order himself to be shot at any time, even if the most brutal ** repression was almost over, the officer still couldn't resist the commissar.

At the same time, he felt a little sad about what happened to the infantry, and he did not know when his armored troops would be able to come here. I don't know if I will live to see the Soviet tanks, the infantry makes a way for the tanks, and uses the number of people to destroy the enemy's tanks. He was familiar with this tactic, because all the infantry had been trained in this area, and the explosives pack was the best tank killer, as long as it hit the tracks, the tank could only be turned into a fixed battery. When your tank comes, it will become a target for your tank troops.

Hashakov didn't say anything more, and just turned away. He must hurry back to the trenches, because the Chinese armored corps will come at any time, and he must prepare as soon as possible. But by the time he would return to the forefront, the Chinese tanks were already in sight.

On the snowy plains, there are roaring steel beasts.

Chariots roared, artillery roared, bullets flew, and the earth trembled.

Ten years later, the Chinese tank unit once again appeared in front of the world's eyes. The shock to the Soviet soldiers was too strong, unlike the Chinese leopards they had seen before, this time it was all Chinese tigers in front of them. It has a larger body than the Leopard tank, and the barrel is much longer than the Leopard, and the muzzle is thicker.

When many Soviet tanks saw the Chinese tank units coming from the pavement, they forgot to return fire for a while, and let the tanks advance quickly. More and more tanks crossed the Chinese defense line and appeared in front of them, all Chinese tigers, and there was a feeling of endlessly, as if there were countless tanks behind them.

Hashakov quickly recovered from the shock, and at this time he had no time to think about why the Chinese tank was so huge and looked even more ferocious than the current Soviet main battle tank.

"Comrades, give me a return fire at once, absolutely not allow the other side to cross the line, the great Bolsheviks are with us."

With Hashakov's order, the Soviet soldiers on the defensive line only then remembered to counterattack. For a time, there was a lot of gunfire on the Soviet defense line, and some hidden light and heavy machine guns also began to fire. A reluctant mortar also began to join the attack.

Seeing such a mighty tank, they could no longer keep. Can't wait to see how powerful these tanks really are, whether they are silver-like wax tips.

The political commissar of the division in the rear also hurriedly gave an order: "Order anti-tank fire to fire at me, and be sure to block the other side's charge." ”

They all understood that if they couldn't stop each other, then these so-called defensive lines would be quickly breached, after all, the distance between the two sides was only one kilometer, and according to the speed of the tank, it would only take two minutes to cross it. There is not much time left for them to think.

In the bunkers on the second line of defense of the USSR, almost sixty anti-tank guns were exposed. This was the full firepower of one Soviet anti-tank artillery division, with calibers ranging from 35 mm to 75 mm. And all are recoilless cannons, which are designed to hit armored targets on flat ground.

Before, these fires were well hidden, but they were afraid of being destroyed by the Chinese artillery, but fortunately they were all hidden in the strongest bunkers, although some artillery was lost, but the combat effectiveness was still there.

On the flat ground where the Chinese armored clusters were advancing, Soviet fire formed a dense barrage.

The rumbling of artillery was mixed with the sound of clanging, the explosion of shells, and the incessant firing of light and heavy machine guns on the tank. On the entire road ahead, the smoke of gunpowder was filled for a while, and the tank in sight gradually disappeared into the smoke and dust.

When all the tanks were covered by gunsmoke and dust, the gunfire of the Soviet defense line fell silent for a while.

"Haha, it's been killed, and it's a useless Chinese tank."

"Long live the great Soviet Red Army, the imperialist tanks were wiped out."

…… Seeing the Chinese tanks that had disappeared in the dust and smoke, many Soviet times cheered. They all thought that the Chinese tank had been wiped out by powerful firepower, and the Chinese tank, which originally looked mighty, turned out to be nothing more than that.

It's just that they didn't have to wait long for them to be happy, and the sound of tanks moving in front did not stop. In the dust and smoke, first the barrel of the gun, then the huge body of the tank. As if coming from the abyss, the Chinese tank cluster pierced through the dust and smoke, crushed the snow, and reappeared in front of the eyes of the Soviet soldiers.

"How is this possible, how is it nothing."

"It's incredible, with such powerful firepower, there is nothing at all."

Hashakov was also a little happy, thinking that the Chinese tank would definitely suffer heavy losses. Under such a barrage, even Soviet tanks had to lose a lot. But the facts are in front of us, and the Chinese tank seems to have nothing to do with it. As you can see from the binoculars, there are not many scars on the tanks, as if these powerful firepower, which they are so proud of, have no effect on them.

"Keep attacking me, don't stop, the tanks on the opposite side are already scarred, just work harder and you can kill them."

Hashakov had to say this, because he had to give hope to the soldiers. If you don't even give the soldiers the slightest hope, then what will you fight next, just surrender. Sometimes it's just a lie, and it's not allowed. In order to arouse the fighting spirit of the soldiers, such a lie did not have the slightest sense of guilt for Hashakov.

Khashakov's order worked, and at this time the Soviet soldiers did not believe that such a rain of bullets had no effect at all. They also believed Hashakov's words, these Chinese tanks should be dying, and they must step up their attacks. If the attack had not stopped, the tanks that were still moving would have suffered heavy losses by now. This time we must not stop.

Useful is useful, and useless is useless. There is no need to doubt this, if it were really useful, more than half of these tanks would have been reimbursed.

Why Su Yusheng put the Chinese tiger in front is that he likes the strong defense of the Chinese tiger. Not only the Soviet 75mm anti-tank cannon, but China's own 75mm anti-tank recoilless gun, which cannot penetrate the external armor of these reinforced Chinese Tiger tanks. China's own anti-tank guns, as long as they do not hit the tracks, can only leave a crater in the external armor of the tank, and this is also with the use of armor-piercing shells.

Not to mention the light and heavy machine guns that tickle the tank, even if the 82-mm mortar hits directly, it is difficult to cause any damage to the tank. And those anti-tank guns, too, only left a small crater, and the Chinese tiger was completely unafraid.

Unless it is an anti-tank gun with a caliber of more than 100 mm, or the latest armor-piercing shells, it is difficult to shake the external armor of the Chinese Tiger. Of course, there is another way, which is to hit a point in a row, so that you can also penetrate the armor of the Chinese tiger. Otherwise, everything will be in vain.
