Part 4 Journey Chapter 195: Slaughter the Bear! Thousands of miles together! (b)
50 kilometers west of Semipalatinsk, in the ferry town of Dolong on the north bank of the Irtysh River, the forward command post of the 1st Independent Special Artillery Battalion of the Chinese Army.
The barrage of Russian troops that fell near the fortifications of the command post gradually thinned out and disappeared, but the rumbling mechanical sound in the distance trembled and approached, and several strange black spots faintly appeared in the artillery mirror of the battalion commander Major Lin Yuqing.
"Discover the Russian tank! Preliminary identification: Mendeleev super-heavy tank 2, Rigsky single-track ultralight tank 4, wheeled armored vehicles - 6 units, and a large force of infantry behind, all of which passed to the position of the 2 battalion. ”
The operational staff officer skillfully reported the enemy's situation, and Lin Yuqing trembled when he heard it: "Mendeleev? Sure enough, there is still ...... Pick me up Master Xu. ”
In the Battle of Ulan-Ude at the beginning of the year, the "Mendeleev" super-heavy combat vehicle put into operation by the Russian army greatly shocked the top of the empire, although this kind of combat vehicle appeared very rarely, which can be cherished, but it is also true that the infantry guns equipped with the second level of the Chinese regiment battalion and the main guns of various types of combat vehicles cannot penetrate the heavy and perverted armor around the vehicle.
According to the feedback of the combat troops, against this kind of steel behemoth, it is not possible to resist head-on, but can only rely on the mobility of their own combat vehicles to quickly go around the opponent's side, and concentrate fire to bombard the tracks, smoke exhaust grilles and machine gun towers, because its main gun is fixed in front of the hull, as long as it loses its mobility, there is no cover of the top machine gun tower, it is a dead iron lump for me to slaughter.
After the battle, the Armament Department of the General Staff Department conducted repeated tests using the captured Mendeleev hull and came to the conclusion that even if the divisional 75-mm field guns and 105-mm howitzers were used to fire directly from the front (using grenades), the vehicle could not be effectively destroyed, and it was necessary to use the 105-mm heavy field guns (formerly known as cannons) and 150-mm heavy howitzers belonging to the corps and group armies to kill them in one hit.
However, it is consoling that after studying Mendeleev's engine, the armament department came to another conclusion: the maximum speed of the car did not exceed 3 kilometers per hour, and the size was unusually large. It is an excellent target on the battlefield. Once this type of vehicle is discovered, it is only necessary to concentrate heavy artillery fire and continuously correct the fire, and it will eventually be destroyed.
Lin Yuqing is well aware that the 45 times diameter long-barreled 37 mm anti-tank gun equipped with this battalion, although the theoretical performance is that it can effectively penetrate 40 mm homogeneous steel plates at a distance of 500 meters - that is, it is enough to penetrate the frontal armor plates of all known combat vehicles in all countries except Mendeleev. But in front of Mendeleev's ultra-perverted 120 mm frontal armor, he only rubbed off the patent leather of others!
Seeing this kind of monster, on the premise of not having a chariot in hand, there is only one way: ask the superiors to use heavy artillery support.
Doron was the central hub connecting the western side of the Seypse defense, and if it was lost, the Veliky Vladimirovka in the north would not be able to be defended, and Chagan on the southern bank would be left alone. If this is the case, there is almost no danger to the west of the city.
In view of this, the 19th Infantry Division on the north bank of Yan Canglong's defense was held alone by the 74th Infantry Regiment, which had the strongest combat power, with 4 of the special artillery companies, and Lin Yuqing was specially ordered to be stationed in Duolong to supervise the battle and uniformly dispatch the defenders' anti-tank operations.
Before noon on the same day, the 41st Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Division in the reserve was transferred to reinforce Dolon, however. This has little to do with Lin Yuqing for the time being.
It's 2 p.m., starting in the early hours of the morning. The Russian army has launched three consecutive attacks on Doron, each time after a short artillery bombardment, led by two or three wheeled armored vehicles to lead the infantry charge, but in front of the well-arranged 74th Regiment position, there is almost no need for the anti-tank artillery of the special artillery battalion. Relying only on the 37-mm sniper infantry guns of the battalion-affiliated machine gun company and the 75-mm field infantry guns of the regimental infantry artillery company. It is enough to beat the Russian armored vehicles with weak armor and weak mobile devices to the ground, and the blazing base fire of 5 light machine guns and 3 grenadiers per company. It even crushed the Russian infantry company with all Mosinagan rifles and bayonets to death. In this way, Lin Yuqing watched as the infantry brothers of the 74th Regiment easily pushed back the enemy's three charges.
It seems that Mao Zi was also annoyed, and finally invited out the big baby at the bottom of the box, this baby is really incredible-forcing Lin Yuqing's eyes to be gone, and he had to pull down his son to ask the division commander to use heavy artillery.
"Heavy artillery? There are also a lot of chariots on the side of Da Fula, and they are also asking for heavy artillery, but Chief of Staff Yan only gave me two companies of 105 heavy fields and 150 heavy grenades of one company, so it's hard to separate...... What the? What's coming? Mendeleev? A monster that can't be beaten even by the Seven Five Wilds? You read that right? There's no reason, they all say that Maozi won't play this kind of garbage anymore...... Okay, okay, give it to you, give it to you, I'll give it an order, say it in advance, I'll play for you for half an hour, don't waste it too much, if you want to say that others beg me, even if it's the head of the horse, I can't be accommodating, if it weren't for the special explanation of Chief of Staff Yan......"
Cutting off the phone, Lin Yuqing let out a long breath, waited for a while, and then quickly lifted the microphone: "I want a heavy artillery battalion." ”
In a short time, on the position of the independent 9th Heavy Artillery Battalion, five kilometers east of Dolong, twelve 105 heavy field companies sounded, and 20 kilograms of projectiles hit a flat arc ballistic; There was a muffled roar of six-door 150-heavy grenades, and forty kilograms of projectiles struck a high-curved trajectory—two sets of barrages slammed into the two tortoise-like slowly crawling Mendeleev chariots to the west of Doron.
Lin Yuqing took off the steel helmet, pressed his eyes close to the artillery mirror, carefully observed the landing point of the cannonball, and said in his mouth: "Xiao Jiang, you come to pass the word - calibration, full near, high 3, left 25...... Poor, calibrate, high and far, low 1, right 10...... Hey, how did you fight this, come again......"
When the giant bomb landed, the gray-yellow dust column covered the target again and again, Lin Yuqing's eyes widened, and he tried to find the traces of the two behemoths in the smoke and dust, fortunately, the two guys were really ridiculously big, and the smoke and dust dispersed slightly, and the first thing he saw was the eye-catching silhouette of two small western-style buildings, each holding a long giant gun (said to be a 120mm naval gun), up and down with the terrain. At first glance, it seemed almost unmoving, and it took a while to keep an eye on it before you could see that although the huge bullets kept falling around, and the wreckage of human bodies, trees, rubble, wheeled armored vehicles, or the small chariot of the Rigisky was flying all over the sky, the two monsters seemed to be leisurely, strolling leisurely, no matter how slow they were, and still moving, no matter how slow they climbed. From time to time, he stopped twice, raised the huge cannon twice, vented, and then spewed black smoke and went on the road.
Unconsciously, the two divisions, one left and one right, had approached less than 500 meters in front of the trench of the 2nd Battalion of the 74th Regiment, and the infantry following had already been blown up, and the Rigsky small chariots and armored vehicles on both wings also gave two companies of 12 long-barreled 3 anti-tank guns, 2 battalion 37 sniper infantry guns, 2 regimental 75 field infantry guns and three types of tungsten carbide armor-piercing bullets in the hands of the infantry arranged around the position of the 2nd battalion. followed by the distribution of the 74th regiment of the two companies of 75 fields, 1 company of 105 pomegranate wash, but also parts flying, wheels rolling, human flesh barbecue in the car, cheap sale of soil and meat outside the car, it is really a hell on earth, miserable to see Mao Zi crying.
Seeing that the two steel fortresses had already illuminated the trenches of the 2nd Battalion, and the guns and artillery were strafing, Lin Yuqing hurriedly answered the phone of the 74th Regiment headquarters.
"Commander Ma, please be sure to concentrate on suppressing all the artillery fire and focus on the two large war vehicles in front of the 2nd Battalion."
"The surname Lin - what the hell are you doing? The heavy artillery has not been enough for so long - doesn't it mean that 75 fields and 105 grenades are useless? ”
"I'll apologize to you again, it's too late, please give the order immediately!"
Lin Yuqing cut off the phone, dialed the phone number of the 2nd Battalion headquarters again, and asked the 2nd Battalion to concentrate all the artillery fire on the Mendeleev tank in front of him.
Although the commander of the 2nd battalion was also full of complaints, he still agreed to give it a try, and Lin Yuqing hurriedly dialed the heavy artillery battalion again and continued to do the school in real time
If it doesn't work anymore, you can only use special smoke grenades...... Lin Yuqing gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and came to the artillery mirror again.
Commander Ma and Battalion Commander Wang did as he said, and dozens of large and small cannons hit the two monsters with smoke and dust billowing and sparks splashing on their bodies - soon, the one on the left seemed to be stunned, and turned around indiscriminately, and this side seized the opportunity to slam through, and finally broke the tracks of this guy, and a large lump of iron bumps couldn't move, and then it smoked from the heavy artillery and burst out of fire.
The one on the right saw that the momentum was not seconds, and it was about to reverse and retreat, how could Lin Yuqing let go of the duck in his mouth, and he worked hard to observe the school shooting, only to see that the ** barrage chased after it like eyes, only chased two or three hundred meters, and then paralyzed the monster to the ground, and then made up a few waves, blew up the machine gun tower on the top, cut off the long gun barrel in front, and the smoke billowed out from the gaps in the car body, presumably there should be no living people.
Lin Yuqing didn't breathe a long sigh of relief until this time - it's so dangerous, he finally held on!
The other phone on the other end of the table rang sharply, Lin Yuqing thanked the heavy artillery battalion, turned around and picked it up, and when he heard it, it was Division Commander Xu.
"Battalion Commander Lin, well done, Commander Ma told me that my heavy artillery didn't give you any use in vain. But I have to warn you, this is just the beginning, just received the aerial reconnaissance report, the enemy has a long convoy into the forest on the many sides of Duolong, and the number of large and small chariots is too many to count, you weigh it yourself, if not, I will ask Chief of Staff Yan for help. ”
Lin Yuqing couldn't help but gasp, good guy, what is "uncountable"? As it was just now, if Mendeleev came once and for a dozen, the gods would not be able to save him!
"Did the report mention that Mendeleev was the kind of heavy chariot made like an oversized train wagon?"
"Not really, I can let them go back and check again, anyway- you're doing it yourself."
Lin Yuqing wiped his cold sweat and hung up the phone, and the blazing explosion of a new round of Russian artillery shells sounded in his ears......
