readx; Lin Yi has never been a master of peace, when he was chasing the Soviet army, if it wasn't for the forcible order from above to stop the pursuit, it is estimated that Lin Yi would be able to lead his squad to chase directly to Lesosibilsk in one breath.

However, after stopping the pursuit, Lin Yi has never been idle, and every day in addition to training the troops, he is just thinking about how to fight this battle in the future? Although he is only a squad leader, he has the heart of the battalion commander and even the regiment commander, in the words of later generations, this is simply a war maniac.

Although he was late on the side of the Ninth Army, his confidence in Lin Yi's belligerence did not have any blow, but made him more and more impulsive to fight.

After returning to the Fifth Army, after a simple adjustment of two days, Lin Yi led his squad to embark on the road of reconnaissance, and this time, Lin Yi did not plan to go back, since the movement of the Soviet army had been discovered, then their reconnaissance mission was changed to a tracking mission, always observing the movement of the Soviet army, and reporting their position to the large troops behind.

"This is the rhythm of the attack, Zhukov has transferred so many troops, a small Lesosibilsk, and there is a river as a cover, so it is impossible to use so many troops for defense. Reporting the situation here to the above, it was said that the Soviet army in Lesosibilsk had greatly increased its strength and might launch a counteroffensive. ”

Lin Yi observed the surrounding terrain through the telescope and commanded in a low voice.

When they had given up the pursuit before, they were not far from here, only a distance of one or twenty miles, and there was also a river in front of them, which was a branch of the No. 3 River, although it was not large, but in the face of an attack, this not wide river could indeed act as an obstacle to the advance of Army Group North.

And although this river is not wide, its depth is not shallow, although it will be shallower than the No. 3 river, but if the infantry wants to wade directly across the river, don't think about it, unless it is a marine, you can swim directly over, and the landlubber of the army wants to cross the river, you must build a pontoon bridge, or pass through other bridges in the surrounding area.

At the beginning, after the Soviet army escaped from the river, they immediately blew up the original bridges, and later, after seeing that the Fifth Army did not chase after it, but was stationed more than a hundred miles away, Zhukov ordered to prepare for the repair of the blown up bridges.

Despite this, the Soviets repaired the bridges along with the newly repaired bridges with enough explosives to blow them up, and if the Soviets were thwarted or counterattacked by the Fifth Army, they would blow the bridge apart after the troops had crossed the river or when the Fifth Army crossed the river.

And hoped to use this to block the pace of the Fifth Army's counteroffensive, although this seemed to be a bit of a prestige and destroy his own morale, but there was no way, although Zhukov boldly formulated a counteroffensive plan, but in some details he adopted a very conservative plan.

Although Zhukov is called the firefighter of the Soviet Union, this firefighter is not omnipotent, and when commanding the armored group to fight, Zhukov can naturally exert 12 percent of his power, but the infantry fights, this remains to be discussed.

However, judging from the situation of the previous Irkutsk battles, Zhukov's level of commanding infantry operations without armored corps needs to be improved. However, this time there was also a problem with the intelligence of the Fifth Army, Zhukov was an expert in armored warfare, but there were no large number of Soviet armored units in the first battle.

In this regard, they attributed it to Zhukov's imminent order, and the Panzer Corps had not yet had time to deploy in place, but after a two-week truce, it stands to reason that the Panzer Corps would almost have rushed to the front even if they had walked for an hour and rested for an hour.

However, according to the reconnaissance in all directions, they did not find a large-scale armored cluster, which is also the more tangled place of the Fifth Army, there are many mountains in the central and eastern regions of the Soviet Union, and there are jungles, and there are limited places suitable for the banker's battle.

But because it is not clear where the armored forces of the Soviet army are, the armored corps of the Fifth Army does not dare to send them randomly, in case the armored corps of the Soviet army suddenly appears, the small-scale ones are easy to deal with, Bazooka is enough to deal with, but once a large-scale enemy armored cluster appears, then Bazooka is obviously not enough.

And according to the information obtained by the intelligence department from within the Soviet Union, perhaps stimulated by the Chinese Empire, the T34 tank, which had just begun mass production on the Soviet side, was upgraded according to the T34/85 tank of the Chinese Empire.

Not only did the caliber of the main gun be increased, the original 37 guns were discarded, but even the protective armor was adjusted, and the most surprising thing was that even the engine was changed. That is, by the time the Soviet T34 upgrade was mass-produced, the armored group of the Chinese Empire would no longer have an advantage.

Because at that time, the surname of the upgraded version of the T34 of the Soviet Union can be basically the same as that of the Chinese Empire, you must know that in the previous life, the Soviet Union was not the object of imitation, and you need to study it yourself from the design to other aspects, and now there is a ready-made appearance, and experts will know where they need to improve at a glance? How can it be improved?

And what about the new tanks of the Chinese Empire at this time? It is still in difficult labor, and the exterior design, internal design, transmission, and weapons have been designed for about half a year, and the only problem is still stuck in the engine.

Of course, it's not that they don't have an engine to use, there is, it's just that this engine is a bit fuel-guzzling, and the tank with a full load of fuel can only travel more than 200 kilometers after being loaded, although the speed is there, but this bit of travel is really too damned, only less than 100 kilometers more than the German No. 4 tank.

As we all know, tank operations are basically surprise attacks, and it doesn't matter if you fight three or four hundred kilometers, just two or three replenishments of oil trucks.

With the lengthening of the combat distance, the supply time of oil is also getting longer and longer, and these are all problems that need to be solved, and now all the oil used by Army Group North is transported from the northeast, pulled by train, and then pulled by oil trucks.

When it's time for battle, who has a few days to wait for you to pull fuel? However, after improvement, the range of the new tank has been increased to about 300 kilometers, which is barely enough, but what is even more painful than before is that the speed of the tank has slowed down a lot, and driving it into battle is simply a target.

However, when it comes to this new tank, there are a lot of topics to be found, like other equipment, the design of the shape is done by Su Dao, and about this tank, it has also been made into four different by Su Dao.

Obviously want to be a little more advanced, but the tragic new tank, the body of the Type 69 main battle tank after Su Dao is equipped with double anti-reactive armor, that is, a layer of explosives is installed on the periphery of the tank, and when it is shelled, the peripheral explosives will explode and destroy the power of the opponent's armored projectiles.

After numerous tests, the shape and configuration of the new armor had been finalized half a year ago, but there were problems with the engine, so the production project of the new tank was temporarily shelved.

If the Soviet Army is equipped with the T34 upgraded tank, there is still no new progress in the new tanks of the Chinese Empire, then Su Dao will be very painful, in addition to exchanging some other tanks, the idea of using independently developed and manufactured tanks to fight will be in vain, and the most important thing is that Su Dao has no way to explain the origin of this batch of tanks.

Since falling out with his family, Su Dao has rarely used the atlas, and now the equipment of the army is made by himself.

'Buzzing ......'

Suddenly, Lin Yi felt that the earth seemed to tremble, and occasionally he could hear the low roar of some engines, Lin Yi couldn't help frowning, and hurriedly fell to the ground, pressing his ears to the ground to listen.

Soon, Lin Yi's forehead wrinkled into a line, tank. I really want to come to something, just think of the situation on the side of the Soviet army, and there are tanks here.

Lin Yi is no stranger to tanks, when they were training, they even specially found tanks to let them contact, mainly to understand the weak position of the tank, so that they can attack it, and the other is to judge the approximate distance and number of tanks from a distance.

Although this skill has basically not been used since he went to the battlefield, this does not mean that Lin Yi has lost this skill.

On the contrary, with this basically unused skill, Lin Yi quickly judged the approximate number and distance of the Soviet tanks, but before seeing it with his own eyes, Lin Yi still maintained a skeptical attitude, but the trees here are dense, and it is difficult to see the situation at a distance, and the tanks seem to be coming towards them, so Lin Yi directly climbed a big tree next to him with the help of a soldier, and after hiding his body, Lin Yi began to raise the telescope to look around.

Half an hour later, the earth stopped shaking, but Lin Yi's heart kept trembling, this scene was really spectacular, nearly three hundred tanks stopped in the Soviet base a few kilometers in front of them, along with hundreds of various artillery pieces, and nearly a hundred trucks, most of which were oil trucks.

Judging by the current Soviet armored forces, what stopped in front of Lin Yi was the troops of two tank armies, but this was not the most surprising place for Lin Yi, what made Lin Yi unbelievable the most was that among the three hundred and two tanks, one hundred of them were Soviet tanks he had seen before, and the other two hundred looked infinitely close to the shape of their T34/85 tanks.

"Quickly report to our superiors, we found two corps of Soviet armored units, including about two hundred tanks that look very similar to our T34."

Lin Yi didn't have time to think about it, and directly ordered the soldiers hiding under the trees to report to their superiors.

This news is too important for them, and Lin Yi is also surprised, the terrain here is not suitable for cluster armored combat at all, why did the Soviet army send so many tanks here?
