Chapter 174: Chief of Staff

Seeing that the huge muzzle of the tank on the opposite side turned to his side, the captain was terrified: "Hurry up and start the tank, the gunner hurry up and open fire!" ”

As soon as the captain's words fell, there was a "Boom!" from the side. With a loud bang, the captain turned his head and saw that it was less than ten meters away from him, and a T26 was blasted into the sky by the tank of the opposite Huaxia Army.

"Damn, aim at the tank in front of me and fire quickly!"

Under the orders of the Soviet commander, the remaining dozen tanks opened fire together with the tanks coming from the opposite side. But to their disappointment, when the smoke cleared, they found that their blows had no effect on the opposing tanks at all.

The 45 mm caliber Model 38 tank gun of the T-26 tank could only scratch a little paint on the opponent's tank, and the damage caused to the opponent was simply insignificant.

"Bastard, order the infantry to blow them up with anti-tank grenades and explosive packs, and the remaining tanks hurry back!" The angry captain made a stupid move.

The infantrymen, who had been hiding in the building, jumped out one after another, rushing forward with explosive packs and grenades in their arms, but the comrade captain forgot that the tank also had machine guns. Several tanks lined up side by side, and two 7.62 mm machine guns mounted in the turret mercilessly arranged a rain of metal bullets in front of the tank under the control of the gun commander and driver.

Seeing the constant Soviet soldiers trying to get close to the tank, Cheng Kai ordered: "Order the infantry to get off the car, cover the flanks of the tank, and never let Lao Maozi get close to the tank!" ”

"Yes, the infantry get off!"

Three Type 63 armored personnel carriers drove behind the tanks and lowered the infantry in a platoon. As soon as the infantry entered the battle, it immediately put great pressure on the Soviet army. Although they could not pose a threat to the Soviet tanks at this distance, the threat to the infantry was real, with a wider field of view than the tanks, and more flexible crossfire, which firmly suppressed the Soviet infantry at a distance of 200 meters.

After losing the threat of infantry, the Type 59 tank could press forward without any scruples.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, another T-26 was blasted into the sky, and in less than twenty minutes after the battle began, six Soviet tanks were destroyed.

"Bastard, is this the 'Northwest Tiger' tank in the intelligence? It's really sturdy! The Soviet captain watched his tanks being destroyed continuously, while the other party swaggered and pressed over without scruples, and couldn't help but look at it.

"Comrade Captain, our infantry simply can't get close to the enemy's tanks, and their infantry protects the tanks very well." At this time, the radio set up in the tank sounded the anxious voice of the infantry company commander.

"Order the troops, all retreat!" The captain reluctantly issued an order: "And hurry up to send a report to the headquarters, just say that our unit has encountered a strong enemy force, and now the two sides are fighting fiercely, our unit has suffered heavy losses, and is now retreating!" ”

"Comrade Captain is not good, our retreat behind us is blocked."

"What?" Surprised, the captain turned the observation glass on the turret and found that he was blocked by three 'Northwest Tigers' behind him.

"Loader, waving the flag to inform everyone to follow us, we must rush out!" Seeing that the retreat was blocked, the Soviet captain was heartbroken, increased his throttle and led the remaining seven tanks to rush backwards.

At this time, Cheng Kai, who was in charge of tying the 'pockets' in the back, saw the Soviet tanks rushing in his direction like crazy, and said with a pout: "These old hairy people don't dare to rush forward, but they rush towards Lao Tzu, do you see that I am easy to bully here?" ”

Cheng Kai said so in his mouth, but the work in his hands was not slow, he ordered the village to leave the infantry to clean up the battlefield through the radio, and the rest of the tanks all rushed to support, and he would not despise the backwardness of the opponent's tank surname.

Now in China, when people mention the reason why the 37th Group Army has strong combat effectiveness, they will say that they have airplanes, artillery, tanks, and sophisticated rifles, but in fact, in Su Tong's view, the 37th Group Army also has a combat power multiplier, that is, communications.

As early as when Su Tong was still the head of the militia group in Duolun, he attached great importance to the communication problem of the troops, and at that time, the commander of Su put forward a slogan: "You have to report to me even if you go to the toilet." ’

In the era of the militia group, Su Tong equipped the five or six short-wave walkie-talkies equipped with PLA in the fifties and sixties to the platoon level, and now the army has expanded, but Su Tong has always been very concerned about the communication of the troops. On the one hand, he set up a military factory in Chahar specializing in the production of communication equipment, and on the other hand, he also asked Niu Ben to produce and store a batch at the lunar base to supplement the lack of production capacity in Chahar.

For example, in the armored troops, the radio is equipped with every vehicle, but in the Soviet army, only vehicles above the company commander level can be equipped with a radio station, and the war can only rely on the flag command. But in this battle, the battlefield is filled with gunsmoke, and the sound of killing is shocking, who can patronize and stare at your car and look at your flag. Therefore, the combat efficiency of the two sides is not half a star.

When the remaining few tanks and tanks of the Soviet army appeared in front of Cheng Kai, Cheng Kai also began to use his tank gun to begin to 'name' the enemy one by one: "Loader, armor-piercing shell preparation, distance 220 azimuth 033, put!" ”

With the sound of artillery, in less than a while, two of the eight T-26s of the Soviet army were hit and disintegrated, and the power of a 100-millimeter tank gun is not a joke.

Seeing that there were tank parts scattered next to it, there was silence in the command car in which the Soviet captain was riding.

"Comrade Captain!" The loader's desperate voice rang out, "Can we still get out?" ”

"Leave them alone, the gunner will continue to fire, the driver must rush out with the accelerator pedal, if he can't rush out, we will all die here!" If anyone looked closely, they would definitely find that the captain's eyes were already red at this time.

The "boom" pilot also stepped on the bottom of the accelerator under the commander's command, and in the pouring rain, the T-26 quickly turned the turret and pointed forward, like a wild horse galloping forward.

"Units, aim at the tanks in front and open fire!" The long antenna on the Soviet command tank had already attracted the attention of Cheng Kai and several of his tanks, and with Cheng Kai's order, several tanks also opened fire one after another. But I didn't think that the level of the two T-26 pilots was really not overwhelming, and he drove the S-shaped route really very windy, and Cheng Kai and they couldn't hit the target after several shots.

"Alright, comrades, we're going to rush out, come on!" The captain who was about to break out of the encirclement waved his hand excitedly, but before the words fell, he felt a loud noise in his ears, and then he didn't know anything.

"His grandmother is a bear, and she almost let this old hairy man run away. Who fired that shot just now, I want to give him credit! Seeing that the Soviet tank that was about to break out of the encirclement was hit by a cannon from behind and hit the track, and the huge shock wave overturned the tank, Cheng Kai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Cheng Kai picked up the microphone and ordered: "All units pay attention, it is no longer safe here, there will be enemies at any time, everyone hurry up and clean up the battlefield, and retreat after thirty minutes."

Chita Forward Command

"Report to the Soviet commander, the 1st Panzer Division has come to report that their reconnaissance detachment has discovered the Soviet reconnaissance detachment more than 200 kilometers away from Selenginsk, and after a short exchange of fire, the Soviet army has been completely annihilated. From the mouths of the captives it became known that the 13th Tank Brigade of the Soviet Army had arrived in Selenginsk, but the specific purpose was unknown. ”

"Well, Zhukov's movements are not slow." Su Tong muttered a whisper, waved his hand, and the staff officer retreated knowingly.

The curtain was opened with a brush, and looking at the heavy rain outside the window, Su Tong's mood was also irritable. It is very difficult to move troops in the rain, but this is relative, but for the 37th Group Army, there is no way to give full play to its air superiority, which makes Commander Su, who has always been accustomed to using airplanes to open the way, very depressed.

In fact, those who have dealt with Su Tong, whether it is the enemy or Paoze, know that Su Tong's style of fighting does not have superb command art in it. His style has always been to bomb planes, bomb artillery, open the way for tanks and then infantry follow, but it is such a seemingly simple, brutal, and domineering combat style that has cut down many enemies.

Su Tong also knows his shortcomings, he has never been a soldier in the later life, and the only bit of military knowledge he has has relied on is all the little knowledge he learned from the Internet and the current temporary report to the Buddha's feet, to fight with so many generals in the world today, how ridiculous it is to rely on strategy to win the war.

And Su Tong has always admired the words of Lao Mei in later generations: If wisdom can kill elephants, then what do you need a shotgun for!

Therefore, Su Tong used to try to avoid exposing his shortcomings when fighting, but now he also feels more and more that he is lacking, that is, there is no qualified chief of staff around him. Originally, Jiang Baili was a good candidate, but Chahar can't do without him now, and now he can only find another one.

"My dear, our guests have arrived!" At this time, a familiar and rich fragrant wind drifted into Chief Su's nose from behind, which shocked his spirit.

"Oh, please! No, I'll greet it myself! Someone, who had been a little upset, suddenly felt a lot better, turned around and strode towards the door.
