Chapter 824: The Purgatory of the T-28 Tank (2)

General Kenkichi Ueda, commander of the Kwantung Army, concentrated all the artillery and bombarded the center line of the Soviet Arsenyev defensive position, and this move really worked, the Soviet defensive position was blasted open a big gap, and the soldiers of the Kwantung Army slammed into the gap, and at the critical moment, the commander of the Second Army of the Soviet Far East Military District, General Timoshenko, had no choice but to show the strength that had been hidden, four armored brigades equipped with T-28 tanks. )

More than 1,000 Soviet tanks, with only one counter-assault, broke through the incoming Kwantung Army, and chased the ass of the Kwantung Army soldiers, and in the face of the Soviet armor torrent, the Kwantung Army soldiers could not bear the strength and quickly retreated.

According to such a speed of counterattack, it will not take an hour, and the Kwantung Army will soon lose the advantage at the cost of more than 100,000 casualties, and all the peripheral positions that have been occupied will be recovered by the Soviet army.

Ueda Kenkichi was angry, but the commander of the Kwantung Army's tank unit was an expert, and he knew what kind of tank he was holding in his hand, the Type 95 light tank against the Soviet T-28 tank, that was to seek his own death, and hit the muzzle of the Soviet tank, just this 15-ton Izu tank, the Soviets' 28-ton tank, without firing a gun, even a hard collision could break up the little Izu nòng.

Although it is also equipped with a small number of ** type "Chiha" medium tanks (in fact, they can only be counted as light tanks), the thickness of the armor and the caliber of the tank gun are not much stronger than the bean tanks, and they are still a live target for the Soviets.

Seeing that the chariot commander did not immediately carry out the order, Ueda Kenkichi was furious, and with a "sigh" chōu out of the command knife, he stared at the chariot commander viciously, and the meaning of the major general of the Kwantung Army was slashed with a big sword.

The commander of the tank of the Kwantung Army gave an order, and at the same time trembled in distress, this little bit of family background is in the hands of His Excellency the commander, eight tank wings, more than 800 Type 95 light tanks and more than 100 ** type "Qiha" medium tanks, immediately launched, and rushed towards the Soviet tank cluster.

Even Timoshenko did not expect that such an effect would be achieved by dispatching a tank cluster, as long as the peripheral positions were recovered, the Arsenyev positions were held, and the reinforcements of the Transcaucasian Front would be more certain, and as a very commanding general, he would naturally not let go of such a good opportunity.

Timoshenko ordered his troops, immediately prepare to attack, follow behind the tank group, regain the outer positions, and the Soviet soldiers who were dizzy by the overwhelming artillery fire of the Kwantung Army also relieved the head of the Jīng, and the courage of his tank troops undoubtedly gave great encouragement to these Soviet soldiers who relied on a breath and held on.

The Soviet tank group advanced very quickly, and in an instant, the Kwantung Army troops were driven out of the peripheral positions, and the Soviet tank crews, who were unforgiving, formed a diamond-shaped attack formation and rushed directly to the encirclement of the Kwantung Army.

In fact, in the face of the rolling Soviet tank cluster, the encirclement formed by the ròu body of the Kwantung Army soldiers seemed so weak and vulnerable, but they did not pay attention to it, the Kwantung Army infantry retreated far away, and there was no húnluàn in sight, and after the Soviet tanks passed, the encirclement was closed again.

Although the commander of the Kwantung Army tried his best to avoid a frontal battle with the Soviets' tank group, the Japanese and Soviet tanks met under the authority of the commander, and a large-scale tank battle broke out in the Far East.

As the first echelon of the fourth tank regiment of the Angang Wing, it is equipped with 40 Type 95 light tanks and 14 Type ** medium tanks, with Type 95 light tanks as the main force and 14 Type ** medium battlefields.

As soon as he met the enemy, he ordered the Fourth Tank Regiment to take the ** type medium tank as the vanguard, and the three Type 95 light tank brigades were arranged in a diamond shape on the left, right, and rear to quickly attack the Soviet tanks.

The 4th Tank Regiment of the Angang Wing, which had received the order, immediately opened up at full speed, and the Japanese light tanks rushed over like fierce horses with a fierce whip, their tracks rolled up pieces of mud.

Although Angang Longze's tactical arrangement is very appropriate, such an attack formation can at least cut down the attacking Soviet tank cluster, and then divide and surround the main force of the wing and annihilate it in one fell swoop.

The 4th Tank Regiment of the Angang Wing, which had just joined hands with the Soviet tanks and used as attack arrows, was beaten by the Soviet T-28 tanks, equipped with 76.2 mm cannons, and then exploded, becoming a pile of useless scrap metal.

In the Soviet tank cluster, more than 80 Soviet T-28 tanks were separated, and the tanks on both sides roared and entangled with each other, fighting as a group, and the Izu tanks were equipped with 56-mm smoothbore guns, and the shells hit the armor of the Soviet tanks, most of which were bounced off, and only a very few played a role.

Even if the Soviet T-28 tank was hit, it generally did not do much damage, and as long as the tracks were not interrupted and the hull was shaken, they still persisted in fighting, and the Soviet Union and Japan made a judgment on the high level of tank manufacturing, and nearly 2,000 tanks waged a desperate struggle in the fields of the Far East.

In a hún battle, the 4th Tank Regiment of the Angang Wing of the first echelon lost 32 of the 40 Type 95 light tanks and 10 of the 14 Type ** medium tanks, while the Soviet T-28 tanks lost only 21 tanks, and the 4th Tank Regiment of the Angang Tank Wing was almost completely wiped out.

Other battlefields of the Hún War also became a nightmare for the tank units of the Kwantung Army, one after another Japanese tanks were destroyed, billowing black smoke came out, and some even lit fires, and the Japanese tank crews covered in flames climbed out of the cockpit screaming and ran to the nearest puddle, trying to pick up a life.

The T-28 tank of the Soviet army was equipped with a three-tǐng machine gun, which would have let go of such a good opportunity, and with a wild roar, the Japanese tank soldier who climbed out of the cockpit collapsed on the edge of the life-saving puddle with huge blood holes all over his body.

In this battle, the tank unit of the Kwantung Army suffered heavy losses, about 200 tanks, which became a live target for the Soviet tanks, while the Soviet tanks only lost less than 70 units, and the first contest between the armored forces of the Soviet Union and Japan ended in a crushing defeat for the Japanese, with a loss ratio of three to one.

The commander of the Kwantung Army, Ueda Kenkichi, who witnessed this tank battle, had a blue face, panting, and his nose was almost crooked, and the chariots of the Great Japanese Kwantung Army were so vulnerable that he was both disappointed and angry, and the commander of the Kwantung Army tanks did not care about looking at the face of His Excellency the commander, and hurriedly issued an order to retreat immediately.

If the battle continued, all of their more than 900 tanks were reimbursed by the Soviets' tanks, and the tanks of the Kwantung Army turned around one after another and took the road.

Finally, the tank commander of the Kwantung Army did not get dizzy, and did not order the retreating tank to run in the direction of the artillery position, otherwise, the Japanese might lose most of their artillery after losing more than 200 tanks, and if so, Ueda Kenkichi would definitely chop the commander of the Kwantung Army tank unit alive.

When fleeing for their lives, the Japanese tanks played a strong advantage in maneuvering, ran fast, and threw off a large section of the Soviet tanks in the blink of an eye, and the shape of the battlefield was one-sided, with the Japanese tanks retreating at full speed in front, and the Soviet tanks chasing fiercely behind, nearly 2,000 tanks, and the clear sky was full of smoke.

The tanks ran away, leaving only the wreckage of the tanks still smoking and burning, and the bloody corpses of the tank crews on both sides, and the tank battle of unprecedented scale ended with the complete victory of the Soviets.

And the Soviet tank crew still wanted to achieve the greatest result, and the tank cluster was divided into three ways and outflanked the tank cluster that the Japanese army retreated.

An unexpected situation happened, the Soviet tank crew chased after the head, but unconsciously entered a swampy area, soft ground, sticky mud, became a nightmare for the Soviet tank soldiers, 28 tons of dead weight, in such a swamp, deeper and deeper, the engine roared, bursts of black smoke, the track skidding, dry roar is unable to move.

The senior officers of the Kwantung Army, who had been observing the situation on the battlefield, were stunned to see the almost miraculous occurrence of the Soviet tanks, which were still reckless just now, as if they had been enchanted one by one, trapped where they could not move, or Ueda Kenkichi reacted quickly, and he realized that this was a golden opportunity, and the opportunity to annihilate all the Soviet tank units had come.

"Yaga still hasn't ordered the chariot troops to counterattack?" He scolded angrily, woke up the commander of the tank unit, and immediately gave the order to the tank unit to counterattack, after the Japanese tank crew received the order, turned the head of the car, and sure enough, there was no Soviet tank in pursuit, the commander said that he was really immediately excited, like a group of wolves that picked up a bargain, and fought back with their teeth and claws.

And the object to be torn apart is the Soviet tanks that just made them fart and are now entangled in mud, which is cheap, and the Japanese will not let it go.
