That night, in the northeast of the city, the soldiers of the 140th Division of the Chinese National Defense Force believed that the Soviet army had suffered great losses and was difficult to launch a counterattack, so they were resting at this time.

Suddenly, a burst of shouts broke the silence of the night. The "Holy War" of the Soviet Red Army was also heard among the great lamas all over the city, condensing the will of the Soviet Red Army.

"Get up, huge country

Fight to the death!

It is necessary to destroy the fascist evil forces, the hegemonic Eastern Empire, and all evil bandits!

Let the noble wrath roll like a wave!

Wage a people's war!

Holy War!

Let the noble wrath roll like a wave!

Wage a people's war!

Holy War!

The people of the whole country vigorously fought back against the executioner

Fight back against tyrannical marauders and man-eating beasts!

Do not let the wings of evil fly into our borders

The vast fields of the Motherland, not to be ravaged by the enemy!

Let the noble wrath roll like a wave!

Wage a people's war!

Holy War!

Rotten fascist demons, hegemonic Eastern Empires, watch your heads

For the descendants of mankind, prepare a coffin! ”

"For the Motherland! For Comrade Stalin! Come on! In the majestic singing, a voice shouted.

"Ulla!"

Countless voices echoed the song, and the Soviets again organized four battalions of troops to use the night and terrain to touch the position of the 1st Regiment of the 524th Division, and then suddenly attacked. Without the support of armored forces and artillery fire, the Soviets recaptured another block after a night of fighting. The troops of the 524th Division were forced to withdraw from this neighborhood close to the city center.

Until the next morning, all the units of the 52nd Army, including the 140th Division, had not been able to advance further to the central area, and had lost a lot of positions in the north and south directions.

The troops of the 48th Army encountered a surprise attack by a capable armored unit of the Soviet army in the south of the city, and the two infantry regiments suffered heavy losses.

The fighting between China and the Soviet Union has been going on for two whole weeks, and the fighting continues to be fierce in Tomsk, Kemerovo, Novokuznetsk, Abakan and other places. The resistance of the Soviet troops was very tenacious, under the resistance of the huge Soviet troops, while the offensive of the Chinese Wehrmacht was repeatedly blocked.

While advancing with high-tech weapons. While resisting with human flesh. Under up to a dozen times the casualties. The Soviet Red Army held back the offensive of the Chinese troops. If it weren't for the countless conveniences brought to the Soviet Union by the urban wars, I am afraid the situation would not have been like this.

On the defensive line on the perimeter of Tomsk, the commander of the 6th tank group, Lieutenant General Bagramyan, was at this time making an exciting radio address to the entire command and combatants:

"All commanders and fighters. All the Communist Party members, the Communist Youth League members, and the motherland are calling us. The party is calling us! Comrades. We are confronted with a ferocious enemy, and we face great difficulties. But, I believe. This is nothing, it will definitely not bother us, we have a powerful tank force, we have the wise leadership of Comrade Stalin, we will definitely be able to achieve victory, we will definitely be able to drive the enemy out of the country. Comrades, for the sake of the Soviets, for Comrade Stalin, for the sake of victory, Ula! ”

"Ulla! Ulla! Ula ......" bursts of cheers came from Bagramian's headphones, "All commanders and combatants, pay attention - go!" ”

As the most elite armored unit in the vast territory of the Siberian Military District and the Ural Military District, the 6th Tank Group is composed of 6 tank divisions, 2 motorized infantry divisions and 1 artillery division, each tank division has 12,000 troops, 240 T-34/85 tanks, 60 KV heavy tanks, 120 BT-7 light tanks, 80 T-26 light tanks, a total of 380 tanks and 80 heavy armored fighting vehicles, forming a total of four tank regiments.

Each motorized rifle division has 15,000 men, 120 BT-7 tanks and 120 T-26 tanks. The entire army has a total of 2,000 tanks, armored combat vehicles, and self-propelled guns. It can be called the most powerful armored corps of the Soviet Union in Siberia, and there are only three corps of the entire Soviet army.

This time, in order to resolutely hold Novosibirsk and completely turn the tide of the war on the central line of Siberia, the Soviet army invested in this armored group, and hoped to achieve good results, at least resolutely contain the offensive edge of the Chinese Defense Forces.

Tomsk is now in a tug-of-war, and the Soviet 16th Army defending it has been fighting hard with the 51st Army of the Chinese Defense Forces for more than ten days. Now, the 53rd Army has taken over the task of launching a final attack on the city center, because the 51st Army's all-heavy weaponry system is really not suitable for urban operations. Many of the latest Chinese King Tiger heavy tanks of the Chinese National Defense Forces were killed by cocktail bottles in street battles, and then the hull caught fire, and then used as a fixed target.

The 51st Army is also an ace unit of the Chinese National Defense Forces, and its history is the military history of the Chinese National Defense Forces since its modernization and reform. It has participated in all the wars fought by the Chinese National Defense Forces in the past 30 years, and has not missed a single major battle in these wars, and has won the final brilliant victory.

The 51st Army also has a prominent predecessor, that is, the 511th Armored Division of this army, which was reorganized from the main force of the 3rd Division of the Southwest People's Army in the past. From this unit, a large number of well-known senior generals in the Chinese army were born, so much so that a few years later, the 1st Regiment of the 511th Armored Division (reorganized from the armored reconnaissance battalion of the former 6th Armored Division Chen Gengpeng) won the title of "Hundred Generals" and became the only trump card unit in the Chinese National Defense Force.

At this time, the strength of the 51st Army had greatly improved after receiving support from the 53rd Army. Each standard army of the Imperial Army will have 1,000 tanks, 1,200 infantry fighting vehicles, and 1,500 large-caliber artillery pieces.

However, after the first round of reinforcement before the war, the 511th Heavy Armored Mechanized Division, the 512th Heavy Mechanized Infantry Division, the 514th Heavy Mechanized Infantry Division, the 513th Heavy Armored Division, and the 515th Heavy Fire Support Division were subordinate to the 51st Army.

At this time, the 53rd Panzer Division of the 531st Army was transferred to the 51st Army. At the same time, the Northwest Theater assigned the elite mobile armored division directly under it to the 53rd Army. At this time, the mobile armored division had arrived in Tomsk under the leadership of division commander Lin Yun, and this division had five independent combat brigades, including two heavy armored brigades, two heavy mechanized infantry brigades, and one fully self-propelled heavy artillery brigade. The strengthened 53rd Army has a total of 2,500 tanks, 3,500 armored infantry fighting vehicles, 4,000 large-caliber artillery pieces (including 1,000 self-propelled guns), and a total strength of 150,000 people.

As the commander of the 53rd Army, Wang Yaowu, an elite tiger team, and the Soviet Army's 6th tank group, which is also an elite army, collided with steel in the vast steppe near Tomsk.

"It's already here, the Air Force's reconnaissance has discovered it, from now on, put an end to the radio silence." After listening to the report sent back by the reconnaissance aircraft of the Air Force that the armored units of the Soviet army had been dispatched. Wang Yaowu said to Chief of Staff Sun Liren.

It was 7 a.m. on April 15. A hilly terrain 20 km north of Tomsk. Dense forests and scrublands surround a frozen road with endless green on both sides, but a closer look reveals that the trees and shrubs are not far apart. It's just that the canopy is too large. From a distance, it looks like it's all together.

After learning that the 6th tank group of the Soviet army had moved to the northwest of Tomsk. Chen Gengpeng, who had long wanted to compete with the Soviet armored forces, personally ordered Wang Yaowu to lead his old troops to destroy this tank cluster of the Soviet Union. Last night, the main forces of the 53rd Army had already secretly moved into this area and had been waiting in concealment in the area north of Tomsk.

Sun Liren tried his best to make a calm appearance. But judging from the sound of his rapid breathing, his heart was also surging. After hearing Wang Yaowu's order, he did not hesitate at all, he knew that there was no opportunistic way of fighting on this kind of plain terrain, and that the most effective way to annihilate the enemy in the shortest possible time was to directly hit the enemy.

Wang Yaowu climbed out of the turret of the tank at this time, pointed to his body and looked in the direction of the armored battalion of the military with concern, and was about to start the radio when he returned to the hull, but the radio channel turned on by itself! After a short noisy radio wave, the voice of the commander of the 531st Armored Division was heard: "The enemy tank is 4,000 meters away from the advance guard regiment of our division, and within a minute it will enter the range of our artillery, requesting the execution of the predetermined plan." ”

Wang Yaowu picked up the binoculars with both hands and tried his best to tiptoe to look west, the hills in the distance were very high, and piles of rocks were bare on the surface, and there was hardly a trace of green to be seen. Suddenly, a dark green thing was imprinted into his telescope, nothing wrong, certainly nothing wrong, he had seen clearly, that was the BT-7 fast tank led by the Soviet army.

"Attention all! The enemy tanks had already appeared at the front, but after they came into range of our side, the 531st Division opened fire first, and the rest of the troops proceeded as originally planned! Wang Yaowu picked up the microphone and immediately ordered, at this time, Chief of Staff Tian had already moved to another command car, this was to avoid the annihilation of the army's top leadership group.

Time passed minute by minute, and Wang Yaowu seemed to have heard the sound of the tracks of Soviet tanks. Suddenly, an airwave came again: "An armored regiment of the front unit of the Soviet army has all entered our firing range. Repeat, the Soviet front has all come within range of our firing range. "This is the voice of the commander of the 531st Panzer Division at the forefront.

"Radio silence is lifted! Start the attack as planned! Wang Yaowu tried his best to control his trembling tone and shouted loudly into the wireless phone. Immediately, the 531st Heavy Armored Mechanized Division, the 532nd Heavy Mechanized Infantry Division, the 533rd Heavy Mechanized Infantry Division, the 534th Heavy Armored Division, the 535th Heavy Fire Support Division, and the Mobile Armored Division successively conveyed the message that everything was going well to the command.

At this moment, about 3 kilometers west of the assembly area of the 51st Army, a high-pitched explosion was suddenly heard, and the 535-mm self-propelled mortar battalion of the 120th Division Artillery Regiment began to fire a salvo! Smoke rose from the five BT-7 tanks led by the Soviets......

"I order, the whole division is in a wedge formation - advance!" Wei Zifeng ordered loudly. Suddenly, more than 400 heavy tanks all moved. These are the latest King Tiger main battle tanks, and they rumble out of the woods, behind the mounds, inside the pits, under the camouflage nets, and in the straw piles.

In these tanks, the shell loader in the loading chamber quickly opened the shell chamber and pulled out a high-energy armor-piercing shell. This 125-millimeter high-muzzle velocity armor-piercing projectile is also a new type of heavy tank gun equipped with tanks of the Chinese National Defense Forces.

At this time. Three armored regiments in a zigzag have been wedged into the tank formation of the Soviet army. However, the Soviet counterattack was also very fierce, especially the T-34/85 tanks and KV-1 tanks in the rear, which also caused certain damage to the tank units of the Chinese National Defense Forces, and the situation on the battlefield gradually changed to a stalemate between the two sides.

"Commanders of regiments and battalions. Please answer if you hear it. Describe what you saw. What is the situation of the enemy's formation......" Before the commander of the 531st Armored Division could speak, the second earth-shaking vibration in front of him came again, and he immediately frantically adjusted the observation hole: "Damn." The one next to it was hit! The diameter of the bullet hole is close to 100 mm! Must have hit the tank ......"

Wei Zifeng scolded, he knew that if he could make his beloved King Tiger tank look like this, it could only be the SU-122 self-propelled gun in the Soviet army, or the more terrifying SU-152 self-propelled gun, in the 6th tank cluster, there should be no less such things.

The radio, which had been silent just now, suddenly became lively, and the commanders of various tank regiments and assault artillery battalions rushed to report the battle situation to Wei Zifeng. The shelling just now was very fierce, and almost every regiment and battalion had tanks hit, of course, many of the tanks that were hit were shot in the tracks, or under the body, so that they would be incapacitated, but still have attack power, and become a live target that could return fire.

However, in the face of the extremely fast BT-7 and the equally slow T-34/85 equipped with large-caliber guns, these tanks are very sad, and most of them will become scrap metal.

"Attention! Don't panic, each car gradually closes the distance, rushes into the enemy's tank group at full speed, and starts a melee battle. "The commander of the 531st Armored Division knew that the artillery fire of his troops was not as strong as that of the enemy, and now he could only carry forward the spirit of fighting bayonets in tanks.

In the face of the Chinese Wehrmacht tanks rushing over frantically, the Soviet tanks quickly fell into a commandless chaos after a short period of stagnation, and they did not seem to have made up their minds whether to rush out or launch a counterattack on the spot, and there was even a "spectacle" of tanks crashing head-on into the Chinese Wehrmacht tanks.

The long-range artillery support of the Soviet army began to gradually fail, and the self-propelled artillery regiment and rocket artillery of the 535th Division quickly followed up, using long-range anti-tank guns to eliminate many Soviet tanks in a state of confusion.

Since nearly a thousand tanks on both sides have now all been mixed together, roaring across the vast field, it looks like a large bunch of steel dinosaurs are fighting, yes! It's a group fight! Tanks on both sides rushed in front of them, and some Soviet commanders actually opened the cockpit roof and fired wildly with machine guns on the roof.

Many of the CDF tanks rotated their turrets in search of their enemies, often firing before they could take aim. Many tanks turn their frontal armor in the direction of the opposing tanks to avoid exposing the weak side armor.

The Type 37 self-propelled anti-tank guns of the 535th Armored Division Self-Propelled Artillery Regiment are only equipped with 37-mm guns, and they are more than enough to deal with frontal armor like the T-26 and BT-7, but this kind of 37-mm armor-piercing shells cannot penetrate the frontal armor of the KV-1 at all, and sometimes they are unable to deal with the T-34/85, but the 76-mm guns of the Type 40 anti-tank destroyers of a battalion can penetrate the heavy tanks of the Soviet army with one shot.

Due to the dense formation of Soviet tanks, after some tanks were destroyed, there were still a large number of T-34/85 and T-26 stubbornly resisting between the wreckage, and they used the tank wreckage to inflict a large number of casualties on the armored units of the Chinese Wehrmacht, especially the unprotected self-propelled artillery units.

The battle was about to enter a stalemate, suddenly, the 531st Panzer Division resounded in the rear of the dense artillery sound, after 40 minutes of preparation and rapid marching, the mobile armored division and the digital heavy artillery brigade directly under the mobile armored division finally arrived on the battlefield, its nine artillery battalions had a large number of self-propelled howitzers and cannons, they were at this time tilting a large number of 155 mm, 105 mm and 122 mm high-explosive grenades and incendiary bombs towards the battlefield, the whole battlefield simply turned into a miserable Shura field.

At the same time, to the north and south of the 532nd Panzer Division, the armored clusters composed of the 533rd Heavy Armored Mechanized Division and the 534th Heavy Mechanized Infantry Division have also reached the designated positions, and have put on a zigzag formation, preparing to wipe out the 6th Tank Cluster in one fell swoop.

From the afternoon to the afternoon of the same day, the tank battle between the 6th Tank Group of the Soviet Army and the 51st Army of the Chinese National Defense Army had been going on for a whole day. At this moment, the armored army of the Soviet 6th Tank Group still has not broken through the armored defense line set up by the Chinese Wehrmacht on the periphery of Tomsk, and its own combat strength has been greatly damaged.

Compared with the loss of nearly 1,600 tanks of the Soviet Army, the loss of more than 400 tanks of the 51st Army of the Chinese Defense Army is really not much better, this must be a bloody battle, a war of attrition, a battle that can only be piled up with piles of steel and flesh. (To be continued......)
