Chapter 39: The First Tank Battle

Yuan Shikai said: "I think Sun Wen is right, you told me how far you want to fight with the Russians, to complete that goal, and not let Britain untie the sleeve, we can't do it at all." Even if it does, it will be a reckless force. Xiaolin, now all the money is invested in the army, do you know what I want to do the most? I want to have an elementary school in every county seat! You bend over and I can do it. ”

Yang Xiaolin slowly straightened his waist and looked at Yuan Shikai for a while: "If we die so many people artificially to bring everything back to the way it was, I won't say anything else, how can we explain to the hundreds of thousands of brothers who have died in battle?" From the time the Russians split Mongolia to the present, the Beiyang Army, the Volunteer Army, and the Revolutionary Army have died almost 500,000 on the battlefield alone! We have not yet counted the deaths, injuries and losses of the people of the north. ”

Yuan Shikai knew that Yang Xiaolin must have this attitude, this guy was very arrogant, and it was basically impossible for him to recognize those treaties.

"Just to tide over the immediate difficulties temporarily, you can cooperate with the Japanese, why can't the British?"

Yang Xiaolin's fingers flicked: "The Japanese are Japanese, and the British are British." What does Zhilu Dao hate most about the UK? It's not that they hit us, it's the reason they beat us! Just because we didn't buy their opium, they went to Beijing and burned down our Old Summer Palace, and I've been a bandit all my life, and I've never seen anyone more shameless than them! ”

Lao Yuan took a deep breath: "Then what do you say?" ”

Yang Xiaolin sat down on the chair: "I won't say anything now, and when I can do it, I'll let you see what I will do." ”

Yuan Shikai's crutch smashed twice on the ground: "Commander Yang!" You are now the chief of the Chinese army. It's not the king of the mountain! You do things with a lot of thought! ”

Yang Xiaolin spread his hands and suddenly smiled: "If Sun Wen tells me about this matter, I guarantee that it will not be discussed." But Yuan Gong, you're different, so let's make a bet? ”

Lao Yuan's eyes lit up: "What are you betting on?" ”

Yang Xiaolin's finger tapped twice on the location of Shunyi on the map: "Just bet on this war, if Wu Zhaolin loses, listen to Sun Wen, I promise not to make trouble for him." If Wu Zhaolin wins, don't tell me to accept the Manchu treaties in their entirety in the future. ”

Lao Yuan hesitated for a while: "Okay!" ”

General Wu didn't know at all that he had been pressed onto the table by Yang Xiaolin and Yuan Shikai, and the situation on the battlefield at this time suddenly changed dramatically.

There was some confusion when both sides first came into contact. But as the battle progressed. The Chinese soldiers slowly overcame their fear, and the Russians restored order, and although the fighting on the battlefield was fierce, there was nothing that could be done about each other for a while.

At ten o'clock in the morning. General Ali Wanbsky may have been urged by General Kizerosky to be in too much of a hurry. I want to push all the Chinese troops back. The artillery fire on both sides was too strong to exert its might because of the staggered nature of the battlefield, and the Russians immediately brought up their twenty infantry vehicles.

Stop. When this infantry vehicle first intervened on the battlefield, it did cause a wave of panic and confusion among the Chinese troops, and the terrain around Shunyi was flat, and twenty vehicles were pushed forward in a row, which was really twenty mobile firepower bunkers.

Everywhere they went, the Chinese troops retreated, and the Russians seemed to see the hope of victory in an instant. The Russian GIs followed these infantry vehicles as if to find confidence, shouting and pressing the Chinese troops to the rear.

Just when the Russians were feeling the excitement, the second pole rushed into the battlefield with the Chinese chariot from the side.

The Chinese chariots and the Russians are fundamentally two grades. The infantry vehicle of the Russians has already been introduced, it is a tractor with an iron cover, and the only firepower is the rotating machine gun tower at the top, the total weight is only four or five tons, and Commander Yang can shake it with a little effort.

The Chinese tank is different, it was created by Yang Xiaolin by absorbing the experience of the Russians and drawing out his own understanding of armored forces. Tanks weigh thirteen tons each, infantry vehicles weigh ten tons. Just looking at the volume, it is several times larger than the Russians.

And whether it is speed or firepower, Lao Maozi's infantry vehicles are not enough to see!

The first tank had just emerged, and when it was still more than two hundred meters away from the Russian tank, the seventy-six-millimeter gun let out a roar! This was the first launch of a Chinese tank and the first shell of a tank in the history of the world's wars!

The gunner was also lucky, he hit the side of a Russian infantry vehicle that was moving, and although it did not penetrate the armor, the powerful thrust overturned the infantry vehicle to the ground!

A Russian chariot next to him suddenly panicked when he saw this situation, and hurriedly turned his gun turret and swept wildly at the Chinese chariot that was rushing over.

However, the bullet hit the armor and could only bounce bursts of sparks, which could not stop the speed of the Chinese chariot at all.

The second pole was sitting in an infantry vehicle at this time, and he personally used his machine gun to sweep at the Russian infantry vehicle, but the bullets could not penetrate the Russian armor. The second pole immediately stopped sweeping it, and patted the driver's shoulder: "Hit it!" Knock it over for Lao Tzu! ”

The Russian who was driving the car saw that the Chinese armored car was so large, and rushed over in a posture that he was going to collide with himself, and hurriedly turned the head of the car and ran in fright. It's a pity that their mobility ability is far inferior to that of the Chinese tank, and they were caught up by two poles without running a few dozen meters, and the driver's skills are also quite passable.

Just a photo, Lao Maozi's six cars were all lying on the ground, but none of the Chinese chariots were damaged. The two revoltors on the infantry vehicle were desperately strafing the Russians around them, and these guys, who were still laughing at the Chinese soldiers just now, finally felt the feeling in the hearts of the Chinese soldiers just now.

The tank's artillery fire continued to bombard the front, and the tracks mercilessly crushed the wounded Russian soldiers on the ground! Some of the crushed limbs were still hanging on the tracks, and as the tank moved forward, the Russians snapped bullets into the body. But it didn't have any effect at all, and Lao Maozi became panicked one by one.

The retreating Chinese soldiers, who had just been killed by the Russians, suddenly regained their courage and rushed desperately towards each other, not forgetting to crouch down at any time and shoot a bullet at the retreating Russians on the opposite side.

With a flick of the trigger with his finger, the muzzle of the gun jumped slightly, and a dazzling flame flashed. The locked creature fell backwards on its back in an irregular position, toppling to the ground, and blood flowed out of its body. Dye a piece of land red.

They followed right behind tanks and armored vehicles. The Russians simply did not dare to stop and fight back!

General Ali Wanbski was also stunned, just now he was happy with the unexpected surprise brought to him by his infantry fighting vehicle, he was about to send a telegram to report that General Kizerosky's battle was about to end, who would have thought that the Chinese would drive over a bigger tank!

Russian infantry vehicles are compared to Chinese tanks. It's really too immature.

"Artillery! Kill those guys for me! ”

General Ali Wanbski finally thought of a suitable solution. The artillery of the Russians began an intensive bombardment. But the hesitant armored car was the target on the move, and most of the old Maozi's shells were empty.

Only two armored vehicles were unlucky and were hit by Russian shells. The second pole was busy playing the signal. Let all the vehicles scatter, but continue to rush forward.

The second pole is very clear, although it is said that rushing forward will bear casualties, but it is even more dangerous to retreat. This is the same as the infantry, rushing up and strangling the opponent can also make the Russians' artillery fire have some scruples, and if you retreat, people will chase you all the way to blow you up.

Wu Zhaolin was very excited at this time, he never used the thousand artillery pieces in his hand, because he didn't want to compete with the Russians for more shells! Now that Lao Maozi's artillery fire has spoken, Wu Zhaolin put down his binoculars: "Bombard their artillery positions!" Give me the artillery to kill the Russians! Bombard intensively, knock out all the shells until their artillery doesn't speak! ”

The battlefield is like this, you can't turn back if you make a wrong move.

If the Russians hadn't attacked with their little guy first, even if they let the two-pole armored car go to the battlefield, there would be no way to bring such a psychological blow to Lao Maozi. Originally, they really thought that their infantry fighting vehicles could crush the Chinese, but now their combat vehicles could not escape, and eight of the twenty were directly destroyed and seven were knocked over! Five of them flipped to the ground in a panic when they fled.

In order to prevent the Chinese tanks from continuing to crush themselves, the Russians fired first, and the artillery fire chased the Chinese tanks all the way, completely leaking their positions.

Old Maozi's artillery fire was chasing the second pole, and the Chinese's shells suddenly fell overwhelmingly towards their artillery positions!

The Russian artillery reacted calmly when it was hit suddenly, and immediately looked for the positions of the Chinese artillery to counterattack. But at this time, they found something that surprised them very much, that is, the Chinese artillery positions were actually scattered!

In terms of firepower, the Chinese had a thousand artillery pieces, but this thousand guns were scattered over at least four artillery positions! And every time China fires, three positions are firing, and there is always an artillery group on the move.

Lao Maozi didn't know where to fight for a while!

Although the Russians had nearly twice as many artillery pieces and had more shells than the Chinese troops, after more than two hours of fierce fighting between the two sides, the Russians had destroyed 800 guns and the Chinese had lost less than 300.

As soon as the intensity of the Russian artillery fire decreased, it seemed that it was no match for the Chinese artillery, and at twelve o'clock at noon, Lao Maozi's artillery finally closed its mouth and quietly shifted its position, not knowing where the road went.

Wu Zhaolin finally showed a smile at this time: "Attack!" Attack on all fronts! ”

With their hands free, the artillery began to clear the way for the infantry, and the shells were smashed on the heads of the Russians with impunity, and there were still three tanks and six infantry vehicles left in the second pole, which were also lined up at this time, wrapped in the middle of the soldiers, and crushed the Russians!

The multi-firepower and multi-arms strikes made Lao Maozi unable to bear it, and the Chinese soldiers became more and more brave the more they fought. The battlefield is like this, especially for these soldiers who go to the battlefield with passion, if they go to the battlefield with enthusiasm, they are really like an elite army, invincible.
