To the east of Chelyabinsk outside the city, the Allied and Allied forces set up a total of 4 fortifications on this side, and the outermost fortification group is currently shrouded in continuous clouds of smoke, which are produced by the explosion of artillery shells and aerial bombs, each explosion brings up a large amount of soil, which is also mixed with the stumps and broken arms of German officers and French officers and soldiers, and the entire coalition position is almost covered with the corpses of German officers and French officers and soldiers.

In the face of the indiscriminate bombardment of the artillery and fighters of the Chinese Empire, the artillery of the coalition army could not provide effective artillery support because of the lack of ammunition, and the fighters of the coalition army could not be counted on, so the ground troops of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire soon approached the first fortification group of the coalition army in the east outside the city of Chelyabinsk.

However, the German Army and the French Army are worthy of being the strongest armies in Europe, and under such difficult circumstances, the officers and men of the German Army and the French Army have been stubbornly resisting the coordinated attack of the armored forces and infantry of the Royal Chinese Army by relying on their flesh and blood.

The 1088th Panther heavy tank attacking the 4th Guards Panzer Division in the east outside Chelyabinsk was hit by a shell from a 57mm anti-aircraft gun on the Allied position, but fortunately, the alloy armor in front of the Panther heavy tank was 75 mm thick, and although the shell of the 57 mm anti-aircraft gun was an armor-piercing shell, it still did not penetrate the 75 mm alloy armor, leaving only a pit mark on the surface.

Commander Sun Ming, driver Hu Dun and machine gunner Liu Feng were fine, but tank gunner Chen Hui knocked his head on the bolt of the tank gun and broke his head.

Commander Sun Ming looked at Chen Hui, who was bleeding from his head, and asked loudly, "How is Old Chen's injury?" Can you still keep fighting? Do you need to bandage it? Why didn't you put on your steel helmet? ”

Tank gunner Chen Hui touched the broken place with his right hand, then glanced at some blood on the palm of his right hand, and said indifferently: "Sir, I'm fine, it's just a small hole." There is not much blood left, there is no need to bandage, there is no problem at all with firing the cannon! It's so hot inside the tank, I just took off my helmet, and I'm so unlucky! ”

Commander Sun Ming heard tank gunner Chen Hui say that it was fine, so he no longer paid attention to Chen Hui's injury. After all, they are now charging towards the coalition position, and there are more important things waiting for them, not to mention that Chen Hui was only slightly injured, that is, Chen Hui was unfortunately killed, as long as the tank can still move, their tank must continue to charge forward with the attacking armored forces.

Commander Sun Ming immediately put his eyes on the tank's observation glass, and then shouted: "Dunzi continue to maintain speed!" Komine shoots at enemy positions with a machine gun! Lao Chen, another heavy machine gun appeared in the direction of 1 o'clock, kill it! ”

As the armored units and infantry of the Imperial Chinese Army moved closer and closer to the first line of fortifications of the Allied Army in the east outside Chelyabinsk. Some of the large-caliber artillery of the coalition ceasefire began to shell the attacking ground forces of the Chinese Empire.

Although the artillery shells of the large-caliber artillery of the coalition army have reached the point of serious shortage after three days of fierce artillery fighting, it does not mean that these large-caliber artillery shells are not at all, and the artillery of the coalition forces still left some large-caliber artillery shells ready to be used at the critical moment, and now is the critical moment, so the artillery of the coalition forces began to launch artillery bombardment within a few hundred meters in front of their positions.

In addition, although the railway behind Chelyabinsk was blown up by the fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire, the coalition forces relied on the road. Some supplies will still be available, and some large-caliber artillery shells will be delivered to the front in coalition trucks and wagons.

After the advent of military trucks of the Chinese Empire. Some countries in the world have seen the role of military trucks, and have begun to imitate military trucks, Britain, France and Germany have imitation military trucks, and the military trucks currently used for transportation in Russia are all made in Britain, France and Germany, but these three countries make military trucks. Compared with the military trucks of the Chinese Empire, the load capacity of the military trucks of the Chinese Empire can reach 20 tons, while the military trucks of Britain, France and Germany have a weight of only about 3 or 4 tons, and the number of military trucks of the three countries is not much.

The coalition forces used the road to transport logistical supplies to the city of Chelyabinsk, relying mainly on horse-drawn carriages. Therefore, the large-caliber artillery shells transported from the road to the city of Chelyabinsk in a short period of time are only a drop in the bucket for the thousands of large-caliber artillery pieces left by the coalition forces, and these large-caliber artillery pieces of the coalition forces can only be used at critical moments.

The sudden artillery bombardment brought considerable losses to the armored units and infantry in the charge of the Imperial Chinese Army, but the attacking troops did not stop because of these losses, but continued to attack.

Commander Sun Ming saw that 2 nearby Panther heavy tanks were hit by large-caliber shells on the top of the tank from the observation mirror in the tank, and immediately destroyed the 2 Panther heavy tanks, Sun Ming gritted his teeth, the commander of the other 1 Panther heavy tank was his fellow townsman and friend, and the two people were transferred from the Second Guards Armored Division to the newly established Fourth Guards Armored Division together, and they were promoted to the commander of the tank together, but he didn't expect that his friend's tank was destroyed not long after the attack was launched, and depending on the situation, the whole tank person, the hope of survival is very slim.

"Sir, 1089 has been hit!" Tank gunner Chen Hui found that the No. 1089 Panther heavy tank next to him was destroyed by large-caliber artillery from the observation port of the tank gun, and he couldn't help shouting loudly, he knew that the commander of the No. 1089 Panther heavy tank was a very good friend with his commander.

Sun Ming roared angrily: "Dunzi! Speed me up! Xiao Feng, Lao Chen! Aim at the enemy's position and hit it hard! Avenge your comrades! ”

The large-caliber artillery of the allied forces opened fire again, and the artillery of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire naturally could not sit idly by, and immediately bombarded the artillery positions of the allied forces that were firing according to the coordinates given by the artillery observers.

Soon after, the Allied artillery was silenced by the fierce blows of the opponent and the lack of shells, and by this time the attacking force of the 4th Guards Army, which was responsible for attacking the east of Chelyabinsk, had stormed into the first line of fortifications of the Allied Army in the east and engaged in close combat with the German and French armies.

Officers and men of the German Army and the French Army holding on to the first line of fortifications of the Allied Forces to the east. It did not collapse because the troops of the Chinese Empire rushed into the position, and still used all weapons to put up stubborn resistance to the armored forces and infantry of the Chinese Empire that rushed into the position.

Moreover, in order to reduce casualties, many officers and men of the German and French defenders on the positions hid in the air-raid shelters in the trenches, and were bombarded indiscriminately by artillery shells and aerial bombs on the positions. The armored forces and infantry of the Chinese Empire, which resisted the charge, were only part of the German and French defenders.

This way of resistance of the German and French defenders is also a way for the armies of the coalition forces outside Chelyabinsk to resist the attack of the Chinese Imperial Army, to be precise, this is a refueling tactic, when the coalition officers and soldiers on the position have lost to a certain extent, the coalition officers and soldiers in the bomb shelter will come out of the bomb shelter to support the remaining coalition officers and soldiers on the position, and continue to resist the attack of the Chinese Imperial Army.

The coalition forces were forced to adopt such refueling tactics, after all, the Chinese Empire had the advantage in firepower. If the allied forces deploy too many troops in the trenches of the position, relying only on the fighters and artillery of the Chinese Empire, they can blow up the officers and soldiers on the allied position, because then the loss of the allied forces will be very fast.

After the attacking forces of the Fourth Guards Army broke into the first line of fortifications of the allied forces in the east, the German Army officers and French Army officers and men who were hiding in the bomb shelters of the first fortification group rushed out of the bomb shelters in groups and engaged in a fierce melee battle with the Chinese Imperial troops who had entered the position.

Fighters and artillery of the Chinese Empire. Because the ground troops stormed the positions of the first line of fortifications of the coalition forces in the east, they stopped bombing and shelling the positions here. The attacking forces of the 4th Guards Army were caught in a fierce battle on the coalition positions.

A machine gun in the front of the No. 1088 Panther heavy tank opened heavy fire on a group of enemies wearing German military uniforms rushing towards the tank, and at once more than a dozen German officers and soldiers who rushed to the front were hit and fell to the ground, but the remaining dozens of German officers and soldiers were not affected by the death of their comrades in the slightest, and continued to rush towards the No. 1088 Panther heavy tank.

Originally, the infantry that charged with the No. 1088 Black Panther heavy tank had 1 squad of 12 people, but 3 were killed before storming the coalition position. After storming into the coalition position, the tragic melee battle killed the other 9 infantry soldiers one after another, and now the No. 1088 Black Panther heavy tank has lost the cover of the infantry, and there is only one brother left, and what is even more tragic is that. Because the charge was too fierce, it had already decoupled from the attacking force, and there were no people of its own near the 1088 Panther heavy tank.

"Quick! Blocks! Reverse the car! Don't let those Germans get close to our tanks! Sun Ming, the commander of the No. 1088 Black Panther heavy tank, shouted loudly.

Then Sun Ming shouted to the tank gunner Chen Hui: "Old Chen, load the grenade!" Give it to them! ”

The attack force of the Fourth Guards of the Imperial Army of the Chinese Empire rushed into the first fortification group of the allied army in the east outside the city of Chelyabinsk, and the losses suddenly became greater, and the German and French defenders who came out of the dugouts engaged in close combat with the Fourth Guards, and there was even a white-knuckle battle with bayonets, and both the German Army and the French Army were equipped with an anti-tank grenade, and this anti-tank grenade was made by the Germans. Weighing 2.5 kilograms, many of the tanks and armored vehicles of the Fourth Guards of the Imperial Chinese Army that had entered the positions of the Allied forces had been blown up with anti-tank grenades by German and French army officers.

Commander Sun Ming saw a group of German officers and soldiers approaching his tank, and he was immediately afraid that his tank would follow in the footsteps of his comrades' tanks.

"Not good! Sir, there is a group of enemies behind us! The driver, Hu Dun, shouted in horror as he reversed the car.

At this time, with a "boom", the tank gun of the No. 1088 Panther heavy tank fired a shell that hit the group of German officers and soldiers in front, knocking down more than a dozen people at once.

Commander Sun Ming immediately turned the observation glass 180 degrees, and then saw from the observation glass that the dense German officers and soldiers were copying towards the back of his tank, and the enemy he could see from the observation glass was enough to have hundreds of people, Sun Ming suddenly felt his scalp tingle.

Sun Ming immediately moved a step back, held the machine gun in the back of the tank and fired fiercely at the German officers and soldiers who were coming from behind, and shouted at the same time: "Old Chen, turn the muzzle of the gun and fire at the enemy rushing behind!" ”

The No. 1088 Panther heavy tank moved left and right under the attack of a group of German officers and soldiers, using the machine guns and tank guns on the tank, giving a lot of casualties to the German officers and soldiers, and even because the machine gun bullets in the front part were exhausted, machine gunner Liu Feng risked climbing out of the top cover of the tank, using the Type 03 anti-aircraft machine gun to take flat fire, and continued to fire at the approaching German officers and soldiers.

The 2 heavy machine guns on the No. 1088 Panther heavy tank are Type 96 heavy machine guns equipped by the Imperial Chinese Army, and each heavy machine gun has only 1,800 rounds of ammunition.

Fortunately, not long after, 2 Panther heavy tanks, 4 Black Wolf light tanks, 5 Z2 armored vehicles and nearly 100 infantry of the Royal Army of the Chinese Empire supported this area of the coalition position, and merged with the No. 1088 Black Panther heavy tank, and the No. 1088 Black Panther heavy tank used the gap in the battle to replenish some of the heavy machine gun ammunition consumed, so that the No. 1088 Black Panther heavy tank could continue to play a complete combat effectiveness.

After the armored units and infantry of the Fourth Guards of the Imperial Chinese Army attacked the first fortification group of the coalition army in the east outside the city of Chelyabinsk, although the German army and the French army above resisted very completely, but in the face of the attack of the mechanized troops of the Fourth Guards Army, the positions occupied by the German army and the French army were still constantly compressed, that is, the headquarters of the coalition forces continued to mobilize troops to support the first fortification group of the coalition army in the east outside the city of Chelyabinsk. This situation did not change radically, and by the evening of October 26, the first fortification group of the allied forces in the east outside Chelyabinsk was largely in the hands of the Fourth Guards of the Imperial Chinese Army.

As the other two directions of attack by the Chinese Imperial Army, the first fortification group to the south and north outside Chelyabinsk was also captured by the Chinese Imperial attacking forces on the evening of the 26th, and the strength of the Chinese Empire's attack greatly exceeded the expectations of the coalition commanders.
