Chapter 1481: Armored Encirclement
Thousands of tanks charged, and the scene was undoubtedly extremely shocking. After all, it's a torrent of steel! It is completely possible to crush the qiē that stands in front of them. Any resistance is absolutely futile. Therefore, after the Russians found out about this qiē, they were immediately frightened and stupid. Many ordinary Russian soldiers had never seen tanks and armored vehicles, and the officers did. However, they had never seen so many tanks and armored vehicles charging together!
"Oh God! The Chinese actually threw so many tanks and armored vehicles, can we really withstand their attack? A Russian officer said with a frightened face. Anti-armor weapons are lacking in the eyes of the Russian army. In the face of these tanks and armored vehicles, there will be complete helplessness.
"Immediately report to His Excellency the Marshal that we have encountered an attack by a large number of tanks and armored vehicles of the Chinese, and the front line is already in danger, and request a retreat." A major general officer on the front line of the Russian army, ordered with a pale face. In front of a large number of tanks and armored vehicles of the Chinese, he was very powerless.
Alexander at the rear command. Marshal Baryatinsky also received the news, and when he learned that the Chinese army had invested thousands of tanks and armored vehicles, he suddenly sat back in his chair. Obviously, he already knew what the consequences would be. Thousands of tanks and armored vehicles can undoubtedly tear the Russian defense line to pieces with ease. And if the Russian army wants to resist the attack of the Chinese army, it is even more impossible. But now Alexander. Marshal Baryatinsky had no other way.
He could only report to St. Petersburg and then request tactical guidance. It's just that it takes time. And right here in Alexandria. Marshal Baryatinsky while waiting for instructions from St. Petersburg. The armored forces of the Chinese Army have already begun to attack. If Alexander. If Marshal Baryatinsky gave the order to retreat at the first time, this would have caused the Russian army to pay heavy losses. But. The Russian army was able to withdraw part of its troops. It's just that Alexander. Baryatinsky was reluctant to take responsibility. So the choice was to kick the ball to St. Petersburg. And this directly led the Russian army into a predicament. It also made hundreds of thousands of Russian troops almost completely wiped out by the Chinese army.
"Boom! Rumble! "After approaching the positions of the Russian army, the 'Leopard' medium tanks and the 'Wild Wolf' light tanks began to stop and fire. The targets were the permanent firing points of the Russian army, which were lucky not to be destroyed in the shelling. Armor-piercing shells fired by tank guns can easily destroy these fixed points of fire. And high-explosive shells are a sharp weapon against those infantry.
"Da Da Da!" A heavy machine gun began to strafe. The targets were the tanks and armored vehicles of the Chinese Army.
"Kill all the damned Chinese." A Russian soldier shouted like crazy, as if it would give him courage.
"When! While! While! A crisp sound rang out, and a dense stream of heavy machine gun bullets hit tanks and armored vehicles, leaving only marks on the tanks. There is simply no way to penetrate the tank, let alone damage the Chinese armored troops inside.
The turret of the tank began to spin. It soon found the weak ant who dared to provoke it.
"Boom!" The tank shook, and a tank gun shell flew towards the location of the heavy machine gun. Almost instantly, a tank gun shell hit the heavy machine gun. The shell exploded, and the heavy machine gun was blown straight into parts. Similarly, the Russian soldier was directly torn apart. This qiē proves that his counterattack was completely futile.
"Squeak, squeak!" The tracks of the tank made that tooth-aching sound. Under the watchful eyes of the Russian army, these tanks lightly crushed the barbed wire fence erected by the Russian army. The narrow trenches could not stop the tanks at all, and the light yì was crossed by the tanks. In the panic, the Russian army scattered and fled. Quite a few Russian troops were directly pressed under the tracks of tanks. When the tank runs over. There was only a pile of minced meat left on the ground, and the tracks of the tank dragged a long trail of blood and continued to advance.
In this battle, there were really many Russian soldiers who were crushed by the tanks of the Imperial Army. So much so that when the maintenance of the tank began after the end of the battle. Many armored soldiers found human flesh in the crevices of the tank tracks, which directly made the armored soldiers vomit dimly.
Of course, that's all for later. At least when on the battlefield. No one will pay attention to that. The Panzers of the Imperial Army had only one goal, and that was to kill all these Russians. Whether it's shelled with tanks. Or use the machine gun on the tank to strafe it, or directly use the tank track to run it. As long as these Russian soldiers can be killed. That's the most effective way to do it. As for whether it was bloody or not, they didn't consider it at all. Anyway, as a soldier, once you go to the battlefield, as long as you are not killed by the enemy, who will not have the blood of the enemy on your hands? In particular, the armored forces of the Imperial Army are the ace units of the Empire. Therefore, they often become killers. This, of course, is the title given to them by the enemies of the empire. And in the eyes of the common people of the empire, they are the heroes of the empire.
Regarding the positioning of heroes, it has always been relative. Let's take the simplest example. Zhang San of tribe A robbed tribe B of food for the winter, and tribe B was starved to death in the cold winter. Then, Zhang San became the executioner of the extinction of Tribe B. In the eyes of the people of Tribe A, Zhang San is undoubtedly a hero. It is precisely because of the grain he snatched back that Tribe A was able to survive the cold winter. Therefore, there has never been an absolute hero, but because the positions of the two sides are different, they also have different understandings of heroes.
Now, the heroes in the minds of the people of the empire are driving their respective chariots, galloping on the positions of the Russian army, and the Russian army is losing and retreating. The Russian army was completely frightened by the armored forces of the Imperial Army.
In the sky, planes of the Imperial Air Force also arrived. However, they found that the Imperial armored forces had broken through the Russian army's defense line, and there was no room for them to use it at all. This made the pilots of the Imperial Air Force very depressed. Originally, they also wanted to bomb the Russian defense line after the shelling was over, and help the Imperial armored forces break through the Russian defense. But now it seems that the attack power of the Imperial armored forces is far beyond their imagination. Or that the Russian defense line was too weak, and it was broken through by the armored forces of the Imperial Army.
The pilots of the Air Force deserve to fly deep into the Russian defense line, drop bombs one after another, and blow up the Russian soldiers on their backs. After the bombing was over, the fighters began to fire with machine guns. In the absence of the threat of the enemy's air force, these fighters often returned after all the bullets were fired. After all, how can these ammunitions be wasted when they are brought out with great difficulty?
Under the attack of the Imperial armored forces, the Russian defense line was torn apart. Subsequently, the infantry of the 1st, 4th and 5th armies of the Imperial Army also immediately attacked. They followed the gap opened by the armored forces into the Russian defense line and cooperated with the armored forces to clear the Russian army.
Under the strong attack of the empire, the Russian army had no resistance at all, and could only be defeated and retreated. After breaking through the first line of defense of the Russian army, the armored forces began to break through further. The battle behind was handed over to the infantry to solve. The role of the armored corps is to break through the defense line of the Russian army, then surround the Russian army, and then hand over the Russian army in the encirclement to the infantry to solve the problem. Once again, the armored forces began to break through, once again encircling the Russian army. This cycle continues until all the Russian forces are annihilated.
"Marshal, our line of defense was broken through by the Chinese, and a large number of troops were surrounded by the Chinese. Now the armored forces of the Chinese are striking at our depth, and we simply cannot resist the Chinese! "A lieutenant general officer to Alexander. Marshal Baryatinsky reported.
"Hell, how could this be? How long has it been? "Alexander. Marshal Baryatinsky scolded. Obviously, this was completely unexpected. The speed of the Chinese* army's assault is too astonishing.
"Your Excellency, what should we do then?" The lieutenant general officer asked.
Alexander. Marshal Baryatinsky also had no idea. He wanted to await a reply from the St. Petersburg side. However, the St. Petersburg side was slow to give him an answer.
In fact, the commander-in-chief of the Russian army, Duke Gorchakov, and the chief of staff of the Russian army, Marshal Wittgenstein, were also taken by surprise. They also did not expect that the attack of the Chinese * army would begin so soon, and so many tanks and armored vehicles would be thrown in. There is no doubt that if the Russian army wants to resist the offensive of the Chinese army, it is almost impossible.
Duke Gorchakov and Marshal Wirtgenstein Jean Alexander. Marshal Baryatinsky decided for himself what to do. It's like kicking the ball back to Alexander. Marshal Baryatinsky came at his feet.
In this way, a lot of time has been delayed. When Alexander. By the time Marshal Baryatinsky gave the order to retreat, it was already too late. The armored forces of the Chinese Army once again broke through the in-depth defense of the Russian army and surrounded a large number of Russian troops. The infantry of the Chinese Army, which arrived later, took over after their encirclement. The armored forces once again embarked on the journey, which directly caused the main forces of the Russian army, including the command of the Russian army, to fall into the encirclement.
