The swan song of the 895th Red Tank VI

"Enemy attack!"

As soon as Wei Lihuang had deployed his defenses, a scream full of horror suddenly rang in his ears. Obscuring smoke and the deafening roar of engines, and the "Ula! Ulla! The shouts followed!

Wei Lihuang immediately rushed out of his headquarters with his staff officers, and ran up the high slope not far away in one go, although it was only twenty or thirty meters high, it was enough to overlook the battlefield as flat as a table. When he raised his binoculars and looked west, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his head. The Soviet tank cluster appeared in front of its right flank position, at least 500 tanks formed a wedge formation, and there were no less than 30,000 or 40,000 accompanying infantry, some of them sitting directly on top of the tanks, and some of them marched on foot, "Ula!" Ulla! Slogans were shouted. What a posture to prepare for a desperate fight!

"Damn, I really thought our 22nd Army was easy to bully!" Wei Lihuang's anger suddenly came up, and now he is fighting Moscow! The collapse of the Soviet Union was a matter of these two months, there were more than 4 million Chinese and German troops around Moscow, and more than 10,000 tanks, and the Soviets did not have enough tanks at all, even if they defeated the 22nd Army, what could they do? Haven't you been crushed by the overwhelming armored forces of the Chinese and German armies? They're doing this now, obviously pulling themselves to pad their backs!

"Air support! Call for air support! Wei Lihuang knew that his thin defensive line could not withstand the onslaught of so many tanks no matter whatโ€”you must know that in the battle just now, the troops had already lost a lot of anti-tank weapons! The only hope now was that the air support of the Germans would be more forceful.

However, the Germans are not able to send too many planes now. Because at this time, their own troops were storming the west and south fronts of Moscow, and more than 2 million troops were fighting fiercely on the battlefields west and south of Moscow, and the Luftwaffe was also providing air support with all its might. Naturally, there is not much spare energy to help the Chinese. However, this time they sent thirty-two HS-129s and sixteen Stuka armed with 30mm anti-tank guns. These two aircraft were probably the most powerful anti-tank weapons in the Luftwaffe's hands, but the total of forty-eight was still not enough to suppress the Soviet tanks that covered the entire battlefield.

"Attack! Offensive! Don't stop! Konev also got into a Su-76 gun, half of his body poked out of the open roof of the gun, and he waved a red flag vigorously, shouting - after losing radio communication, he could only command the troops in the original flag language. At this time, on the Losino-Petrovsky battlefield. There were also many Soviet tanks that did not know where to attack, and when they saw that the tank cluster commanded by Konev was attacking eastward, they also turned their heads to the east. The pressure on Su Y's side suddenly reduced a lot, but Wei Lihuang's head was a little dangerous. Originally, he could have transferred troops from the left flank and the center to reinforce the right flank, but now it seems that the whole line is about to be tightened.

"Commander, Chief Li asked us to hold on for another 30 minutes. Our tanks will be coming soon! This is a staff officer who quickly ran to Wei Lihuang. Loud reports.

"Got it, go and call back to Chief Li, he wants our 22nd Army to hold out for as long as he wants!" Hearing that his own armored troops would come up to reinforce him in half an hour, Wei Lihuang suddenly became confident, and ordered loudly: "Sue the tanks and anti-tank guns, put the enemy closer, 75mm anti-tank guns and 105mm recoilless guns can not fire until the target enters within 1000 meters, and 75mm recoilless guns can not fire until the target enters 500 meters." The Type C tank retreats to lure the enemy. โ€

The total combat weight is only 15 tons, and the caliber of the main gun is only 45mm. Although the thinly armored C-type tank still has room to fully display its might on the battlefields in India, Japan, and the South Sea Islands, it is really a bit inadequate on the battlefield outside Moscow. The T-28 and Su-76 of the Soviets could not defeat the Panthers and Cheetahs, and they could play against the C-type tank. Therefore, Wei Lihuang did not dare to really let the C-type tank and the enemy's tank cluster compete head-on, so he could only let them put on a pose to attract the enemy's attention and create a chance for the lurking anti-tank guns and recoilless guns to destroy the enemy.

"Type C tank, it's a Type C tank, rush up, hurry up, don't let them run!" The commanders of the Soviet tanks at the forefront all saw these small C-type tanks that were slowly retreating, and their courage was immediately stimulated to the limit, and they all shouted and rushed to the Chinese defense line in front of which had not even dug anti-tank trenches. However, they didn't rush far, and the Soviets were burning under the tank tracks one after another, and it turned out that Wei Lihuang's troops took advantage of the Soviet tank cluster to attack southward just now, and planted a lot of anti-tank mines in front of their positions.

"Fire, 75 anti-tank guns, 105 recoilless guns fire! Hit me hard! "Seeing that the Soviets' tanks were stuck in a minefield, several Wehrmacht division commanders who were in command on the front line almost simultaneously picked up their phones and gave the order to open fire. These people have been fighting mechanized warfare for several years, and they know how dangerous anti-tank guns can be when facing enemy tank groups, unless there is a strong cover, these guns must be fired several times to change places, but for the 75mm anti-tank guns that cannot be maneuvered, it is impossible to quickly move positions in battle, so they can only be used as disposable weapons, in order to destroy the Soviet tanks as much as possible before the opponent counterattacks.

"Reload! Aim...... Put! Although Hao Baiwen, the commander of the anti-tank artillery battalion of the 22nd Artillery Regiment, is only 19 years old, he has been fighting with the Soviets for two years on the Siberian battlefield, and he is already familiar with the performance of 75mm anti-tank guns and the corresponding tactics. After receiving the order to open fire, he immediately commanded his artillery crew to complete a series of tactical actions such as loading, aiming, and firing in the shortest possible time. After the first shell was fired, he and his brothers began another round of loading, aiming, and firing without even looking to see if they had hit the target. Because they all know that the two most important tricks for playing anti-tank guns are "fast" and "accurate", and they must fire the most shells in the shortest time, and at the same time strive for accuracy. In the usual training, the most basic requirement for each artillery crew is to fire 6 shells within 2 minutes, and 5 shells must hit the vehicle target 1500 meters away, while Hao Baicun's artillery crew can achieve 6 shots!

"Boom, boom, boom......" Soviet tanks and infantry caught in the minefield were soon killed and wounded by a round of destruction. The 75 anti-tank guns, 105 recoilless guns, machine guns and mortars on the Chinese positions were fired at the same time, smashing the steel plates of the Soviet tanks and beating the hordes of infantry and sappers who came to clear the anti-tank mines.

However, the one-sided slaughter did not last long, and the Soviet tank clusters soon stopped their advance and began to counterattack with their 76.2mm and 45mm and 57mm guns. When the first shell exploded near the Hao Bowen artillery group, the order to abandon the anti-tank gun and retreat had already been issued -- for the current Great China Federal Defense Force, the value of a heavy anti-tank gun is far less than that of an excellent anti-tank gun group, so when encountering enemy artillery fire, there is no need for an order from the superiors, and the anti-tank gun group must abandon the anti-tank gun and move away!

"Quick, quick! One more shot! Hao Baiwen, who was probably addicted, refused to retreat in time, and asked the loader to load an armor-piercing projectile, aiming at a Su-76 whose track was blown off by an anti-tank mine and shot out.

"Boom!" With a bang, the Russian tank destroyer made by the imitation of the Stalker tank destroyer instantly turned into an orange-red ball of fire. Seeing that he had made a contribution, Hao Baiwen reluctantly left the gun position, but before he ran far, a Russian 57mm grenade exploded less than 10 meters away from him, and the flying fragments and shock waves immediately turned the 19-year-old young man into a bloody man, and finally lay in the field hospital of the group army for half a month before he was out of danger.

"Well played! Well played! Konev, who was in command on the front line, saw that the anti-tank guns of the Chinese army were dumb one after another, and he danced with excitement and shouted: "Let the infantry and sappers rush forward, clear the mines, and drive the Chinese devils out of the trenches!" โ€

"Ulla! Come on! For the Motherland! โ€

Under the cover of Soviet tanks and assault artillery, thousands of Soviet soldiers shouted slogans and poured into the thin defense line of the Chinese army like a tidal wave. By this time, where did they not know what kind of bad luck was facing their homeland? And these Chinese who fought from more than 10,000 kilometers away in front of them are the enemies who put the Soviet Union in a desperate situation, although it is impossible to drive them back to East Asia, but it is good to kill one more!

"Tanks! Let the tanks come up! Seeing the scene in front of him, Wei Lihuang knew that his defense line was about to undergo a test of life and death, and it was likely that he would not be able to hold it! Now at least tens of thousands of Russians, supported by seven or eight hundred tanks, are storming up. Therefore, he did not care about the fact that the C-type tank did not fight much, and repeatedly ordered the tank that had just retreated to lure the enemy to go up and support the infantry in front with 45mm guns and machine guns.

Brutal melee combat unfolded throughout the line of the 22nd Chinese Army, and Mosin, dressed in an khaki uniform and carrying a bayonet. Soviet soldiers with Nagant rifles quickly rushed to the front of the Chinese positions. "Get on the bayonet!" With the roar of the officers, the Chinese infantry in the trench drew their bayonets from their scabbards and inserted them into the muzzles of their guns, and then climbed out of the trenches and started the bloodiest hand-to-hand combat with the Soviet troops!
