The news of the present world came so quickly!

A few hours earlier, Solinsky's mechanized troops had been enjoying the slaughter of lightly-armed Chinese reserve agrarian divisions, and hours later Solinsky watched in despair as Chinese tanks and armored vehicles got closer and closer to him.

Compared with Solinsky's rigorous and standardized armored cluster assault, the counterattack carried out by the Eighth Division was not very serious. Obviously, this newly formed armored regiment still has a clear immaturity in its actions, such as a very poor sense of rhythm during the attack, and it is difficult to ensure that the entire assault is in line with each other, and often the tanks rush forward, and it is difficult for the infantry to keep up.

Moreover, after the infantry began to attack, the artillery that was originally scheduled to attack first opened fire belatedly, but fortunately, the shooting was not outrageous, otherwise it would have been a mistake to injure friendly troops.

When Solinsky attacked, it was clear that artillery was not allowed to be used to destroy fragments, and when Zhao Lianxi attacked back, Qi Yiming's order was very clear - be cautious, strive to annihilate Solinsky's troops before the enemy's follow-up troops open the road, use all necessary means, and ask for all possible assistance.

Therefore, Zhao Lianxi did not have any pressure to spread out almost all the artillery strength of his division, and began to launch a fierce artillery bombardment on the Solinsky department, which had retreated to the side of his own border. In addition to the 18 PLZ-05 self-propelled guns that the armored regiment has, each motorized infantry regiment also has its own artillery battalion, equipped with towed guns and self-propelled guns (truck-towed guns, unlike the tracked chassis of self-propelled guns). So after the various artillery battalions were in place, they used their heavy artillery to give the Soviets a good experience.

In particular, the PLZ-05 has a caliber of 155mm, which is quite impressive. When using bottom-row ammunition, the PLZ-05 can easily reach a range of 40 km, which is now twice as far as the 2S3 equipped in the Soviet Union. It uses a fully automatic reloading system that allows the maximum rate of fire to reach 8 rounds per minute, and the burst rate of fire can fire 4 shells in 15 seconds. Such a high rate of fire is equivalent to increasing the density of artillery coverage, and the effect of striking at the enemy is multiplied.

There are many types of equipment of the Chinese army that are at the forefront of the world, such as Guardian rocket artillery and self-propelled artillery. There is no doubt that even in another timeline, the PLZ-05 is one of the best self-propelled guns in the world, not to mention the talent of "cost-effective" Chinese-made weapons.

Originally, in the normal artillery sequence, Qi Yiming also prepared hand-thrown drones and towed drones for the army, but the Eighth Division has not yet been equipped with these things, so their shelling is still a more traditional fire control, even so, they have a series of precision strike fire control equipment including a circumferential vision sight, a dual-channel sight-rangefinder equipped with a thermal imaging device, a digital ballistic computer, a radar velocity measurement device installed on the upper part of the gun barrel and a satellite positioning system, etc. It is possible to maximize the firing parameters for these self-propelled guns.

Therefore, on the top of the Soviet troops who retreated to a deep enough depth, the roaring heavy artillery shells made a baptism of life and death for them. Huge shells fell from the sky, and the shock wave caused by the air explosion could directly overturn the truck transporting the soldiers, and it was absolutely impossible to see a living person within ten meters of the direct hit. Some of the unlucky Soviet infantry vehicles were directly hit by these shells, and they were immediately scrapped, and the crew inside would die in those stuffy canisters with wheels due to strong concussions or explosions.

Solinsky was furious: "How dare the Chinese use heavy artillery, don't they want those precious pieces?" The main meaning of his words was naturally to explain why the Chinese army was authorized to use artillery, but he had to throw the artillery in the rear of hundreds of kilometers and come up with armored troops and infantry.

"Comrade division commander, let's disband the formation, the artillery of the PLA is too fierce!" Comrade Staff suggested with a look of fear on his face.

Although Solinsky chose to retreat, he didn't really think that the Chinese would dare to **** back, let alone that the Chinese would use such a dense heavy artillery to attack themselves, so his retreat formation appeared more concentrated, the sky had begun to shine, and gave the Chinese artillery a better opportunity to greet them with shells, and the Soviet troops who were stunned by the shells suffered heavy losses for a while.

It was a tough choice for Solinsky. Disbanding the formation will affect his command, and at the same time, it is possible that the Chinese army will be divided and surrounded and eaten one by one. But if they don't make any moves, the enemy's artillery will cause them a lot of battle damage.

Solinsky had already received information that it was the Chinese armored forces that caught up at high speed behind him. If his hundreds of T-64s were still in his hands, Solinsky would definitely not hesitate to compete with the PLA tanks, but now their tanks have almost all been knocked out by the Chinese Air Force's Feiyun Leopard with anti-armor missiles, and the whole division still has the so-called armor in the combat power, that is, those BMP-2 and BTR-70 armored infantry fighting vehicles. It's just that these infantry combat vehicles are fighting in tandem with tanks, and now that they have no tanks, in the face of the Chinese main battle tanks, even the Type 59 copied from the Great Soviet, can fatally damage these infantry combat vehicles with armor of only tens of millimeters, or even less than ten millimeters.

Disbanding the formation, it must be a wild beating after being caught up; Without disbanding the formation, it was now a wild beating - Solinsky was in a terrible mood - and he now had a sense of crisis and potential shame of defeat.

But now there is no time for Solinsky to feel sorry for himself, and the 8th Division's Panzer Regiment uses the 99 Tan and Type 09 infantry excellent cross-country ability, as well as more powerful horsepower, and soon caught up with Solinsky's division, which was still on the run.

Although the cooperation is still not tacit enough, and there are many minor problems, the entire Eighth Division is very careful to digest its new equipment. In the 20 seconds before the Type 99 tank was about to engage the enemy, the communication system had been transmitted from the front armored corps to the rear artillery, which was also the so-called "seamless fire docking" that Division Commander Zhao Lianxi attached great importance to in training.

The relatively loose armoured assault line fired the first shot almost at the same time, and the shells drilled out in a puff of fire, instantly hitting the rear guard of Solinsky's department 8 kilometers away. The Soviet troops, who had not had time to turn around and lay out the rear line, were scattered by this round of tank artillery, and the previous shelling caused confusion in the Soviet formation, and now they were attacked by the tail of the people, which caused extreme panic in the Soviet army.

Just as they used tanks to bully the 5th Agricultural Division before, now it is their turn to be bullied.

Solinsky looked through his binoculars at the terror war machines that were raising heavy sand and dust in the sand, and because it was in an inland desert area, the tanks of the 8th Division used desert digital camouflage instead of the green digital camouflage, which is the most common 99 tan, which made them more difficult to identify in the dust. These tanks are definitely not any Soviet-made tanks that Solinsky has ever seen, but some Soviet tanks can still be seen.

For example, the low hull, the chassis has a bit of T-72 meaning, a pronounced 125mm smoothbore gun, plus a layer of reactive armor attached to the body. However, Solinsky, as a commander of the armored corps, naturally knew that this "foreign-looking" tank was by no means from any existing Soviet tank.

It has amazing off-road speed and stability, indicating that its power system and suspension system are very successful, and the bombardment of the wave of tank guns just now made Solinsky feel very frightened, because just now a shell actually penetrated two infantry combat vehicles in a row when firing flat, this amazing kinetic energy and penetrating force, Solinsky knew that even the best T-80 tank of the Soviet army now can never do it.

The denser and denser 125mm shells came over, and all the Mao soldiers could see that these tanks hit their infantry chariots, just like poking tofu with hot knives, and they were killed instantly, and there was no luck. The high-explosive shells and fragmentation shells fired by some tanks caused huge casualties to the infantry.

"What to do, what to do to stop these tanks?" Solinsky stepped into the role of Division Commander Liu not long ago, wanting to use an unbalanced force to fight against the overwhelming enemy forces of Tarzan. Compared with Division Commander Liu, he still has some cards to play, such as the 30mm cannon on the BMP-2 and some anti-tank missiles.

It's just that the 99 tanks who pressed up in a straight line didn't give Solinsky any chance, and wave after wave of tank shells bombarded Solinsky's retreating troops who were still in a panic, and the hesitation of the division commander also made his troops lose the best opportunity to defend themselves, and now the Soviet troops in front of the armored regiment of the 8th Division are not much different from a group of targets.

The distance was shortened to 2,000 meters, and the advantage of that tank crushing was exposed, even under Solinsky's orders, the Soviet fighters shouted Ullah and for the sake of Mother Russia, and aimed the muzzles and anti-tank missiles on the infantry vehicles at the Type 99, but often before they could do anything, a storm of 125mm shells hit.

The most ferocious thing is that Solinsky and his staff officers witnessed a blown BTR-70 blocking the path of the advancing Type 99 tank, and the Chinese tank, which did not have the slightest idea of turning around, actually ran over the damaged infantry tank with its tracks, even a layer of homogeneous armor could not withstand the weight and power of more than 50 tons of 99 tanks, and was ruthlessly run over like a can.

"If you can dig trenches in advance, you will definitely be able to stop these Chinese tanks!" Solinsky has endless remorse, and his previous opponents have brought a lot of trouble to their T-64 in this way. And obviously the Chinese tanks are heavier, and it is already a miracle that they can walk like a fly on soft sand, and it is an ironclad tragedy to encounter a trench that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.

However, he didn't have a time machine to go back to digging these traps a few hours ago, and could only watch as 99 Tan in front of him dismantled his troops like an adult bullying a child.
