Chapter 425: Turning the Tide
readx; 'Ula ......'
The roars of tens of thousands of people at the same time resounded throughout the air, and even the well-informed soldiers of the Northern Army Group were shocked by the momentum of the Soviet Red Army at this time, and many people looked at the Soviet Red Army in a daze, wondering what they wanted to do?
Suicide? This is the most unarmies they have ever seen in their lives, and it is also the army that has given them the greatest shock. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
They had no weapons, one of them only held a few bullets, and followed the soldiers who rushed to the front, and when a soldier fell, they quickly picked up the rifles on the ground and continued to move forward, one after the other, like moths to a fire, without any hesitation.
'Whoosh...... Boom......'
A 60-mm mortar shell fell directly into the crowd, and the mortar shell filled with the explosives of the martyr surname instantly blew away the enemy soldiers within a certain range of the surrounding area, and a gap appeared in the charging crowd in an instant.
But soon, the gap was filled by the soldiers who caught up later, and there was no sign of bombing. Death at this moment seems to be just a number.
'Da Da Da ......'
Soon, the machine guns were also put into battle, and a battalion of sixteen machine guns, each deployed in different directions, opened heavy fire on the enemies who were attacking them, and the bullets rained down on the enemy like bullets, knocking them to the ground one by one.
Like a meat grinder, the Soviet Red Army was killed, but they seemed to be able to never finish killing, in the intense artillery fire, the battle line was repeatedly shortened, and the distance between the two armies was repeatedly pulled in.
In the blink of an eye, riflemen and firefighters also joined the battle group, and the situation improved slightly, but only a little, in a charge of this scale, it did not play any role at all, like a praying mantis blocking a car.
'I've seen people who don't want to die, but I've never seen such a lifeless person, and if this kind of behavior of theirs were to appear on our side, I can assure the Commander that he will never see the sun tomorrow. ’
This is what Hu Xiaoquan, who has retired many years after the war, wrote in his memoirs, the battle of that day was the fiercest he had ever encountered, and it was also the only battle he could not forget in his life.
The crowd tactics were vividly used by the Soviet Red Army at this moment, and with a single charge, they broke through the impregnable defensive line of the first battalion, and the soldiers of the first battalion had to fight back and retreat at the same time.
In a small town with only one or two thousand people, there are 10,000 or 20,000 people fighting, and the framework of the town is no longer enough to support it, and the battle from the streets to the houses, from the square to the field, every area has basically become their battlefield.
'Poof! ’
Hu Xiaoquan stabbed the bayonet on the rifle in his hand into the body of a Soviet Red Army soldier, who did not have any weapons, and the only thing that could be considered a weapon was the wooden stick in his hand.
After running out of bullets in the rifle, Hu Xiaoquan didn't have time to change the bullets at all, and when the enemy came up, he could only pick up the bayonet and fight.
'Smack! ’
A bullet flew down Hu Xiaoquan's head, directly into the Soviet Red Army who planned to attack Hu Xiaoquan behind him, Liu Yongfeng, who was sitting on the ground and half leaning against the wall, also held the Type 41 automatic rifle in his hand, and a trace of green smoke came out of the muzzle.
Seeing that Liu Yongfeng saved himself again, Hu Xiaoquan smiled at him gratefully, now is the time when physical exertion is the greatest, and they try to save every point of physical strength as much as possible, so even speaking, many times they are omitted.
Liu Yongfeng's ** was pierced by a stray bullet, and the four soldiers had just entered the house, Hu Xiaoquan and Liu Yongfeng were in charge of the front window, and the other two soldiers were in charge of the back window, which would be their last position.
Liu Yongfeng, who had no time to treat his wounds, could only forcibly hold on and pick up arms to help him when he saw that the enemy was planning to attack Hu Xiaoquan.
"You use mine, the firepower is stronger than yours, and there are more bullets, and now you don't need to be on the head, so you don't have to worry about it."
Liu Yongfeng handed his Type 41 automatic rifle to Hu Xiaoquan.
"Okay, you bandage the wound first, you can just stare at this door later, and I'll take care of the rest."
Hu Xiaoquan didn't shirk, he directly picked up Liu Yongfeng's Type 41 automatic rifle, and then put his Garand rifle next to him, leaving a few rows of bullets immediately.
'Boom! ’
A tank shell directly penetrated the weak wooden window, and the shell drilled directly into the house, making a huge explosion, but Hu Xiaoquan seemed to be very lucky, the power of this shell was not as great as imagined, and most of the shrapnel was blocked.
Even though Hu Xiaoquan was injured, he didn't kill him. But the tragedy is that Hu Xiaoquan is also a seriously injured person at this time, two shrapnel pierced into his body, one on the ** and one on the back, and these are injuries that he can't handle alone.
It is necessary to go to the field hospital in the rear to deal with it, but if you are not careful, it may cause heavy bleeding.
"Crazy, are you still alive?"
After realizing that he would not lose his surname for a while, Hu Xiaoquan gasped heavily, lying on the ground while observing the situation outside, and asked.
But no one in the room responded to him, and after a long time, Hu Xiaoquan gradually began to panic, because no matter what he called, the other three soldiers in the room did not reply.
"Crazy?"
Hu Xiaoquan forcibly forced himself to turn his head and look at Liu Yongfeng behind him, but what caught his eye was a mutilated corpse, Liu Yongfeng's posture was the same as just now, holding the trigger of the rifle in his right hand, but the entire left arm was missing, and even at the moment of death, Liu Yongfeng still wanted to shoot.
At this moment, Hu Xiaoquan was completely angry, his comrades-in-arms were almost dead, until now, he didn't have much hope, and he was the only one left in this room.
Hu Xiaoquan dragged his heavy body and forcibly crawled to Liu Yongfeng's corpse, grabbed a few magazines and Garand rifles he had placed next to him, and continued to meet the enemy.
Time passed so slowly at this moment, like a year, that in the blink of an eye, more than half of the town had been captured, and the still living battalion of soldiers, either gathered together to resist, or learned the methods of the Soviet Red Army, one or two people ran into a room where there was no enemy, and attacked them from behind.
Less than 20 minutes had passed, and the air force that had arrived within 20 minutes had not yet been found, but more than half of the ground troops had already been damaged. The situation of what was supposed to be an asymmetrical war was turned upside down in an instant, and the Soviet Red Army used numbers to fill the lack of their equipment.
Despite this, the Soviet Red Army was also very annoyed and depressed, two divisions of infantry, a tank brigade, plus an artillery regiment, so many troops attacked a town garrisoned by only one battalion, and now the town has only taken more than half of it, and they have also suffered nearly half of it.
More than 5,000 infantry casualties, more than 90 tanks are only 60 at the moment, and the Soviets don't even know how the Chinese, who don't have anti-tank guns and anti-tank rifles, destroy their tanks?
Although the casualties were large, the Soviets were still happy, and in their opinion, this was the best ending, compared to the other battles, the casualties on their side were nothing at all.
And the important thing is that after this battle, they will have an infantry battalion armed to the teeth, no, it should be an infantry regiment. With these equipment, they can also kill more enemies in the future, giving them a taste of the power of the Soviet Red Army.
'Buzzing ......'
The roar of engines gradually came from the air, which brought the attack of the Soviet Red Army on the ground to a slight halt, but soon resumed the battle.
Because the sound of planes came from the north, and they had just appeared here, it was impossible for the Chinese air force to come to support so quickly. So the Soviets mistakenly thought it was their air force, so they didn't worry about anything anymore, swaggered up and continued the attack, or waited to wave to the air force.
"The enemy has rushed into the town, the brothers below are estimated to be unbearable, the enemy is too numerous for the bombers to carry out effective bombing, Dead Cat Squadron, you go to find a nearby artillery position to bombard, Mouse Squadron, you are responsible for killing the tanks on the enemy's perimeter, the broom squadron, and follow me to strafe the enemy infantry on the ground at a low altitude."
After seeing the situation on the ground clearly, the Air Force Major and Rice quickly gave the battle order.
They were supposed to go to the rear with a large force to bomb the main force of the Soviet Red Army, but as soon as the mission began, they received an order from the command center that Reichkhinsk had been attacked by tens of thousands of Soviet Red Army, and asked them to temporarily organize a brigade to return to Reichkhinsk to support them.
I thought that the intelligence was wrong, how could a small town attract tens of thousands of enemy troops to besiege it? Moreover, they also conducted a detailed search when they passed by before, and did not find any enemy troops.
It's just that now after seeing the situation, Tong Dami can't help but be stunned, the feelings are true, but where did those Soviet Red Army come from? How did they evade the Air Force?
With a series of doubts, Tong Dami led a squadron of fighters and began to strafe at low altitudes, and wherever they passed, wherever there was an enemy, they were basically accurately attacked.
But the fighters hit the infantry, after all, the speed is too fast, although they also killed and wounded many enemy soldiers, but in fact there are not many people, more to deter the enemy.
When the air force from the front line came to support for more than ten minutes, the transport plane formation that took off from the Northeast Air Force Base also arrived in the sky over Reichchinsk, and white scattered flowers covered the entire sky, connected with the earth, like a huge snowflake.
After receiving the order, they were an airborne regiment that urgently supported, and this time the use of airborne troops in this operation has changed again, and the previous strategic force of the strange soldier has been converted into a support force.
As soon as the battle began, all the airborne troops were on standby at the airfield 24 hours a day, and their guns were not left with them; once they received the support task, they had to board the plane within five minutes, and the transport plane had to take off within 10 minutes, so they would rush to the skies over Reichkhinsk in more than half an hour.
And after seeing this scene, the Soviet commander was also stunned, and suddenly did not know what to do. The original plan was to cut off the rear route of the enemy forces deep into the Soviet Union with superior forces, set up a checkpoint in Reichsinsk, and completely block the ground transportation line of the First Army, so that they would have no ammunition to use and no food to eat.
The battle was also going on according to their expectations, and the battalion left behind by the First Army was no match for them, and in the charge of tens of thousands of people, the defense line was broken down in an instant, and before they had time to rejoice, the tide of the battle changed.
One battalion of troops can make them work so hard, and now that there is one more regiment, do they still have any hope of taking this place? No, there is absolutely no hope.
Because with their strength, there is no way to continue fighting, otherwise, the entire army will only be consumed, and there will be no soldier left. (To be continued.) )
