Chapter 305: The Collision of Chinese and Soviet Tanks (Part II)
When the Chinese tank clusters began to enter the attack positions against the third line of defense of the Soviet Union, the Soviet armored clusters also staggered. With the continuous harassment of the air force, many tanks in the Soviet tank cluster were disgraced, and some light tanks were still scarred. However, they all insisted on coming to the battlefield and did not lie on their stomachs.
"Guys, Soviet tanks are already in front of us. For our honor, the Air Force will not take part in this collision between tanks. Bring out all your passion for a moment that will be remembered by history. Let the world see your strength, let the world tremble in front of the Chinese tank. King of land warfare, with me will win. ”
The passionate voice of the commander of the tank cluster was heard in all tanks, and the collision of thousands of tanks was the first time in the history of tank development in the world. China has created many firsts, and each time it has proved its strength and worth with complete victories.
This confrontation with Soviet tanks is the best reflection of the strength level of Chinese armor. Whoever is more powerful, who is more powerful, the two world land powers and powers will be passionate at this moment, competing for the ticket to enter the door of the king of land.
Both China and the Soviet Union had great expectations for this collision between tanks, and both Su Yusheng and Zhukov, Chen Shao and Stalin wanted to distinguish a winner and loser, and both sides had the confidence to win. However, the result will always disappoint one side, because there is only one winner.
The iron flow is rolling, and the mountains and rivers are shaking.
The communication between Soviet tanks has not been as convenient and smooth as that of China, except for some radios, the others rely on flag language. However, the two sides are so close that there is no need to say anything more. There is no need for an order, seeing the Chinese tank cluster rushing towards him, the Soviet tank crews also know what to do.
"Ulla!"
Although there were no Kazakh cavalry here, these Soviet tank crews had already regarded themselves as the Soviet Kazakh cavalry that had shocked Eurasia in the past. It's just that those cavalry are on horseback, and they are on tanks. The power of armor has gradually replaced the role of cavalry, but tradition has not been abandoned. A cry of Ula expressed the morale of the Soviet armored troops, although such shouts were only heard by themselves, and the sound was muffled by the movement of the tanks, but they were all happy to do it, as if these two words could bring them endless strength.
Inside the No. 255 Chinese Tiger tank, Zhao Shukai was engrossed in operating the gun sight. Looking at the approaching Soviet tanks in the distance, he was full of excitement. As the commander of the Chinese Tiger tank, he felt that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
Since its production, the Chinese Tiger Zhi has not experienced much war, although it has performed well on the exercise ground, but the exercise is a drill, no matter how realistic the simulation is, it is not as real as the real work on the battlefield. Moreover, this is a decisive battle with a thousand tanks, and it is not an ordinary small battle that can be compared, it will be a protracted battle, and the two sides come and go, both want to put each other to death, and the test of personnel and equipment is also very cruel.
Moreover, the number of tanks on the Chinese side is much weaker than that of the Soviet Union, and the Chinese Tigers, which are the main force, are only 400, and the rest are all Chinese Leopards, and in terms of quality, they are not much higher than the Soviet T-34/76, the advantage is there, but it is also limited.
However, the Chinese side is very confident that they can closely cooperate with each other in the fight between tanks and tanks. This is the biggest disadvantage of the Soviet Union at present, and the Soviet Union has not yet been able to achieve interoperability between vehicles. Moreover, the Soviet T-34/76 is not very many, only five hundred, the others are thin-skinned T-26s, what is the use of powerful firepower, the guy who can be killed with one cannon will not survive on the battlefield at all.
The first big war in his life is coming, and Zhao Shukai is nervous and excited. Nervousness is human nature, and excitement is not about the bet with your comrades, but about the time when you have built up your own merits.
"Check the shells."
"Report to the commander, there are still twenty-six ordinary shells, twenty armor-piercing shells, and fourteen armor-piercing shells."
"Okay, I'm going to blow up at least fifteen tanks this time, and I'm going to roast the whole sheep."
He held the scope with one hand, reached into the pocket of his jacket with the other, and pulled out a small box. Mali opened the lid of the box with his mouth, sucked out a piece of chocolate, and then handed the box to the other comrades in the car.
While enjoying the silkiness of his mouth, he carefully watched the enemy tanks getting closer and closer in front of him. When the distance between the two sides was only 1,500 meters, Zhao Shukai had already begun to make a move. His tanks were in the first echelon of the attack, and one of them was kept at the forefront of the entire cluster. They fired the first shot of China on the belligerents, but not on both sides. Before the Chinese tanks fired, the Soviets' tank guns had already fired, but the accuracy was not very good.
Zhao Shukai slowly calmed down the distracting thoughts in his heart, his mind was all concentrated, and even his breathing and heartbeat became very stable. There were many targets that could be hit in front of him, but he didn't care about those T-26s, but directly aimed at those T-34/76s that looked bigger. When the crosshair in the sight was aimed at a T-34/76 running at the front, he immediately held his breath and his heartbeat.
"Replace the armor-piercing shells, 1, 2, fire! Fuck it. ”
"Bang!" The cannon was ejected, and two flames erupted from the heat vent in front of the barrel, heading straight for the T-34/76 in the distance.
"Bang!" There was a loud bang, and the entire T-34/76 had no time to dodge, and at the moment the shell hit, the T-34/76, which was originally in motion, directly stopped, and instantly made a huge explosion. The armor-piercing shell directly penetrated the front armor of the T-34/76, and after entering the tank, the shell detonated in the tank. The Soviet armored corps inside did not even have time to react, and was blown into numerous pieces in the explosion. Death to them when it was not clear what was happening, everything was too fast.
"Well done, one." Zhao Shukai shouted excitedly. Then he regained his expression and looked for a new target again.
The move of the 255 tank shocked the Soviet side for a while, and the Soviet tank crews only saw the flash of the opponent's gun barrel, and one of the tanks on their side was blown up, or the T-34/76 that they regretted. For a time, all the tank guns on the Soviet tanks were fired, and the front of the Chinese tank units was caught in a burst of artillery fire.
"Do random maneuvers and try to dodge the opponent's shells."
Zhao Shukai was confident in the defense of his tank, but he didn't want to take any risks either. Previously, because of the explosive pack, the armor in front of the track has been blown off, and if the opponent's tank gun hits the track again, it will only be the fate of the nest. Losing the bet was a trivial matter, and he didn't want the tank to become a target for the opponent because he couldn't move.
At this time, many tanks were already in full speed, and the iron was not in the corner, but it was like a dancing girl, and the sixty-ton heavy tank danced on the land, which looked very strange.
"Heavy tanks charged in the center, medium tanks split left and right, attacking the left and right flanks of the Soviet tanks, disrupting the opponent's formation."
The orders of the commander of the armored group were again heard from the tanks of the Chinese side. Immediately, the tank troops that had been gathered together were divided into three formations, and the direction of the Chinese tiger in the middle did not change. And the Chinese Leopard tanks in the left and right rear made a rapid assault directly to the left and right.
The formation of the entire tank cluster suddenly turned into a huge U-shape, and the U-shaped gap was covering the Soviet tanks, and the purpose was obvious, that is, to surround the opponent's tank troops. The minority goes to surround the majority, this is difficult to see on the battlefield.
Zhao Shukai didn't pay attention to the orders on the walkie-talkie, because he had been doing the same thing as the frontal charge, just like the orders. He was well aware that heavy tanks would have been used as the main force for a frontal impact. The medium tanks with weaker armor and faster speed are the left and right pincers that form a flanking attack, and as for the light tanks, China does not have that thing, and they are uniformly called armored vehicles. Because the duty of light tanks is to support infantry, there is simply no way to participate in such a high-intensity armored confrontation.
Engrossed in operating the sight, with chocolate in his mouth, he savored it. At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than a kilometer, and the threat of the opponent's tank guns began to grow, and he had to be prepared to remind the driver to be ready to dodge at any time when aiming.
When the literacy crosshair is again aimed at a T-34/76, "Fire." ”
There was a loud explosion in the distance again, and at this moment Zhao Shukai had no time to celebrate, but he was still counting in his heart, two.
At this time, the 255 tank next to the 256 tank also let out an angry roar, and another T-34/76 was blown up in the distance. Other tanks also came into play, and the T-34/76 continued to be blown up or disabled. The Chinese armored forces seem to have recognized the T-34/76 and specially picked the T-34/76 to fight. It is said that persimmons pick up soft pinch, but they do the opposite.
The Soviet tank squadron saw that its own tanks were continuously destroyed, and for a while the entire camp began to disperse. They don't want to stay together and be someone else's target.
However, the Soviets' attack also caused a lot of trouble for the Chinese side, and the dense shells filled many Chinese tigers with craters, but fortunately none of them caused major damage. However, the smoke and vibration of the explosion made the operator inside feel extremely uncomfortable, and it was difficult to aim for a while, and the shells often hit crookedly.
"Replace it with ordinary shells, where do you need special shells to fight these little thin skins, ordinary shells can already look down on you." Zhao Shukai saw that it was T-26 in his eyes, and ordered with an unhappy face.
At this moment, the distance between the two sides is already very close, and it can be said that they are close to each other. The T-34/76 that the Soviets had placed in front of the tank cluster were all killed, and now only the remaining T-26s remained. At this time, Zhao Shukai and the others were not picky eaters, they were all targets anyway, and they were correct.
Compared to the T-34/76, the T-26 is much, much weaker, and it is simply not comparable in terms of protection capabilities. These thin-skinned tanks are under the attack of the Chinese tigers, and as long as they are hit, there is no chance of luck at all. No matter where they hit, they can make these tanks incapacitated, and more often they will be reimbursed together with the crew inside.
"Hurry up baby, bump into it." Zhao Shukai watched the distance between the two sides getting closer and closer, and couldn't help but shout.
With a "bang", the 255 tank and a Soviet T-26 collided together, Zhao Shukai and others did it deliberately, and the other party had no time to dodge. They were going to penetrate directly into the middle of the Soviet tanks and disrupt the formation of the other side.
