Chapter 642: Fierce Battle in the Caspian Sea (1)
In the dark night, the temperature continues to drop, and a cold cyclone has formed in the Siberian sky, and low temperatures are affecting the surroundings. In the vicinity of the Caspian Sea, the temperature has dropped to minus 25 degrees Celsius, and the wind has gradually reached more than three degrees, and there is a tendency to strengthen.
On the ground, the snow has begun to roll, and the soft snow has been blown by the wind for a day, and it is already sandy, and it is gradually forming movable sand and snow. Fireworks season is about to begin.
In such a low temperature, the battle is still hot. As soon as Qu's army was here, the tanks and the invincible knights rushed back and forth in the enemy's line, destroying the enemy's tanks one by one. The number of tanks on both sides reached more than 1,000, and the battlefield area was two or three kilometers in diameter.
Such a large area was not caused by the fighting, but by the fact that the Russian tanks began to rout and flee, and the tanks of the advance army dispersed in pursuit.
Fighting, thieves have learned this lesson, in just ten minutes, the Russian tanks have been defeated, and there is a lack of ammunition, but they have not destroyed a few enemy tanks, as a last resort, they can't hit the enemy's tanks, only a way to retreat.
As soon as the pursuit began, the self-propelled artillery of the rear chord, under the escort of two hundred tanks, rushed forward. Their bombardment mission was over, and the artillery fire was to chase the armored vehicles forward.
Armored vehicles are the place where the fighting is fiercest here, or rather, the place where the slaughter is the craziest.
The hatches on the car were opened, and the soldiers controlled the anti-aircraft machine guns behind the improvised gun shields, and the bullets sprayed tongues of fire in a rhythmic click. The control of the heavy machine gun is the same, the two heavy machine guns on the left and right are spitting flames, moving the muzzle left and right, and constantly strafing.
The constant firing caused the density of gunpowder smoke in the cabin to be unbreathable, and the battle would not have been possible without a smoke extraction system.
The dense fire caused the charging Russian cavalry to fall in pieces, and they were not afraid of death. But it was not possible to throw the grenade bundle in his hand under the tank, under the armored car.
The positions in the rear, after the self-propelled artillery raged, were already in shambles, the artillery was crooked, and corpses were everywhere. Plus the two sides are already stalemate. It no longer matters whether their cannons are present or not.
In the darkness, under the light of the burning fire of the tanks in front, the mortars on the left and right were ready, just waiting for the enemy to rush closer.
The original battle distance between the two sides was less than 1,000 meters, and after more than 10 minutes of fierce fighting, the advance of the armored vehicles did not reach the front of the position, and they slowly advanced in the galloping of war horses.
But before he could move forward, the corpses in front of him would pile up more than a meter high. Most of the corpses didn't wait to fall. It was torn apart by heavy machine guns and anti-aircraft fire, and the result was minced meat.
The ammunition of the armored vehicles was sharply depleted, and after ten minutes of fighting, they were already unable to charge. The enemy rushed in fearlessly, which made them sometimes have to shoot continuously, not caring about the life of the firearm, and of course, the consumption of bullets.
Qu Jun just stood calmly on the command car. Looking at the flickering firelight in the distance, he didn't hurry. Even if the ammunition on your side is consumed for another ten minutes, it will be cut off.
"Hold the line and hunt down the tanks!"
He ordered steadily.
Although the tank battle has been won, there are still three or four hundred tanks surviving on the enemy. If it weren't for the fierce pursuit, their armored vehicles would not have been able to withstand the enemy's shelling, and no less than 30 armored vehicles would have been lost. Destroyed by enemy tanks.
It is also because of this that the infantry vehicles did not join the charge, and the armored vehicles did not move forward, not only with ammunition, but with waiting. Wait for the opponent's tank to come back.
Halfway of Liu Haisong's army didn't move, they waited quietly in front of the infantry vehicles behind Qu Jungang, waiting to replace the tanks and armored vehicles in front, waiting to give a blow to the rear hand that might be hidden.
Sure enough, Qu Jun's guess was right, the enemy had tanks hiding in the rear, they were waiting, waiting for the tank shells to run out here, chasing the bombardment, and the approaching artillery bombardment should be able to break the armor of the enemy's tank, and the worst can also destroy the chain rail.
At the moment when the enemy ran out of shells and fled in all directions, the six or seven hundred tanks behind roared and turned on their headlights, rushing into the smoke of gunpowder.
Seeing that the lights in front of him suddenly brightened, Qu Jun just shouted: "The first echelon retreats!" Self-propelled artillery fired flat-fired! The second echelon keeps up! ”
With his roar, he had already moved to the area of the tank wreckage, and the self-propelled guns lined up were reloaded, and the shelling began at the moment when the dealer's car and tank whizzed past him.
As soon as the enemy's tanks were dispatched, the opponent's armored vehicles and tanks in the battle retreated one after another, although the enemy general expected that the enemy would also have a rear, but at this time the situation of pursuit had been formed, and the arrow had to be fired, he did not give the order to stop the pursuit, while ordering the artillery to quickly organize the position, while waiting for the effect of the tank pursuit, once the distance between the two sides was opened, his close defense artillery and the heavy artillery that had been erected would open fire, not to mention the complete destruction of the other side, at least most of the tanks should be left.
But his abacus was outrageously wrong, the self-propelled artillery was erected much faster than theirs, and it had been prepared in advance, five or six minutes earlier, it had been arranged, and it roared at this moment.
The charge of the tanks had just caught up with the cavalry that had stopped advancing, and before they had entered the position where the enemy armored vehicles had stayed, they were pressing the corpses of their comrades forward, when suddenly there was a light in front of them, and a fire dragon stretched for thousands of kilometers in front of them, and then at the same time as the sound of artillery was heard, a loud roar followed.
Before the enemy tank could react, it exploded in a sudden light. Flat-firing shells hit the tank directly in the front, and a single shot directly destroyed the tank, which is not far-fetched at all.
The cannonball hit the stagnant cavalry, and it burst into the sky, blasting a large area and blowing everything around.
The bombardment of hundreds of self-propelled artillery pieces immediately destroyed the enemy's desire to distance the two sides, and the tanks were destroyed one after another, losing the ability to charge, and in the firelight, in less than two minutes, the tank group disappeared. Flames burned all over the ground, and tanks scurried and dodged all over the ground. In two rounds of shelling, at least 200 tanks were blown up, and the cavalry assembled behind them were blown apart.
The heavy shelling overwhelmed the Russian army, especially the scream from which no shells flew, which was a direct, close-range shelling. They also have tank artillery vehicles, alas. Tank artillery trucks around Turkmenbashi, do the left rear defense, they don't have it here.
The heavy shelling did not know the end of the battle in the road, but only the beginning. Qu Jungang's first echelon retreated, and the anxious bangs of the second echelon had already pounced.
His troops were full of ammunition and full of fuel tanks. Just waiting for thousands to fight.
Chasing the shells, he brushed past his teammates' tanks and armored vehicles, and swooped into the burning position 100 meters away.
The enemy's artillery was no longer able to move at this time, and their tanks had already rushed into the dusty area, and the shelling would accidentally damage their own tanks.
Besides, they can't bombard a distance of 100 meters, and their cannons can't be flattened. As for those mortars, they are not effective against tanks at all. Firing the cannon is nothing more than adding to the obstruction of sight.
In the loud roar, the Russian generals did not know the battle situation in Ludao, the losses of the tanks in Ludao, and the enemy tanks in Ludao had rushed into their tank group, and the roar had turned into tank guns, no longer the bombardment of self-propelled artillery.
The moment the tank rushes up, the dealer car follows. Behind it is the infantry vehicle, densely packed. The chain rails whipped up a cloud of sand and dust, whistling through piles of wreckage and rushing forward.
When a shell flew out of the dust and landed on the position, the Russian army realized that the enemy's tanks had gone and returned, and they had come closer.
At this time, everything is in vain. Their artillery became an ornament, and only grenade bundles were the only weapons. But the charge of tanks and armored vehicles was not something that human flesh could stop, and the cavalry in front was routed by the advancing armored iron cavalry, and when they appeared in front of them, the ensuing dense bullets caused the Russian troops on the position to float a blood mist.
Liu Haisong personally operated an anti-aircraft machine gun. The moment he saw the position behind the dust, he pulled the trigger.
Tom tom ......
In the terrifying sound of anti-aircraft machine guns, huge bullets tore through the fog in front of them, shredded everything on the position, bullets passed everywhere, severed limbs and broken flesh flew all over the sky, and Russian troops were bombed like balloons. The body was like a sphere filled with blood water bursting, and clumps of blood mist bloomed in the cold air, and then quickly condensed and dissipated in the air flow of bullets.
Liu Haisong's command vehicle followed twenty tanks all the way and went straight to the depth of the Russian position. His mission is to crush the enemy in front of him in one fell swoop.
In the face of the steel beast rushing wildly, the Russian army did not flinch at all, and in the stormy bullet penetration, holding the grenade bundle, constantly jumped up, and sounded the fuse.
Loud bangs sounded one after another, and in the light of the fire, the exploding grenades blew up the dust in the sky, and also shattered everything around, but the damage to the tank was minimal, and the explosive force was not enough to blow up the T62, only a small part of it exploded to the chain rail, which blew up the automatic wheel, and paralyzed the tank there, but the machine gun still clicked constantly, and did not lose its combat effectiveness. If it weren't for the dust, the artillery would have roared a long time ago.
In the face of the steel lion, the strength of the Russian army's flesh and blood resistance was minimal, and the tank rushed into the depth of the enemy army in just a few minutes, swept all the way with armored vehicles, pierced the Russian army's position, knocked over a door of artillery, crushed a piece of Russian army, and at the moment when the position was penetrated, it roared and turned on the spot, turned around and killed back.
The strangulation officially began at this moment, and tanks, armored vehicles, and infantry vehicles were in the city at this time, and they were galloping with tongues of fire on a front that stretched for more than two thousand meters.
Tanks and armored vehicles, of course, needless to say, when they turned over, the hatches were closed, and the anti-aircraft machine guns stopped firing. In such a battlefield where bullets are raining down, it is good to say that when rushing forward, the bullets will not chase the vehicles of their comrades, and they are all strafing the ground, and there is no need to worry about accidental injury, but there are tanks and armor charging opposite them, face to face, and accidental injuries will occur.
Standing here became a pot of porridge, the retreating first echelon quickly refueled, replenished ammunition, and the level of ordinary training was fully reflected at this moment, whether it was a hand-cranked refueling pump or a rapid loading of ammunition, it was completed in a few minutes. The time to replenish the supply of a tank and armored vehicle can be completed in two or three minutes, which can be said to be a fight with the overhaul of racing cars in later generations.
When the tanks and armored vehicles left the supply vehicles and began to assemble, the battlefield had already been decided, and they, after a short assembly, scattered in all directions, with their headlights fully on, and surrounded the battlefield here.
Those Soviet Russian tanks were hit violently, and in the inability to resist the 200-caliber shells of the self-propelled artillery, they scattered in all directions, and the enemy's tanks rushed violently, and they had collapsed under the tide of attack, and when the line of sight was almost zero, and they were not sure that they would hit the title of the book, they all drove in the direction of the feeling, trying to wait for the line of sight to be clear, and then desperately with the enemy, otherwise, in the sandstorm, they could not accurately capture the enemy's shadow.
Their speed was not very fast, they could not even reach the speed of twenty kilometers on the dusty battlefield, but they still kept them out of the center.
But when they came out of the dusty area, they saw a snow-bright headlight rushing towards them.
"Enemy tanks!!"
The Russian tankmen shouted, and with that, the muzzles of the guns began to turn. They know they can't beat it, but they won't back down. This is the territory that our ancestors have worked so hard to conquer, and they will defend this land with their blood.
At the same time that they saw the tanks of the advance army, the tanks of the advance army also saw them, and one by one they were galloping, and the muzzles of the guns quickly turned, and then the bombardment began on the march.
In the tank battle that broke out again, the tanks of the Russian army still did not have the strength to fight back. The speed can't keep up, the power of the artillery can't be compared, they can only be beaten passively, shouting in vain and firing the cannons, sending out fireworks one after another, but they can't shake the opponent's tanks.
The violent explosion followed suit, and the T63, like an invincible iron horseman, almost did not hinder it, destroying the enemy tanks that rushed out of the dust area, leaving behind piles of torches, galloping away, and continuing to encircle.
Qu Jungang will not let go of any Russian army, and the order he received is to strangle, of course, he will not be soft. And the warriors are also in the mood of revenge, fighting and losing the ability to think, staring only at the enemy, firing cannons, shooting, and regardless of whether the other party surrenders.
There are tanks carrying white shirts and trying to surrender, but they still attract a shot. The advance army did not want to take prisoners, and this was a habit since the battle with the Japanese army. Unless these Russian troops laid down their weapons before the war, otherwise, on the battlefield, there will be no one left.
With waves of armored brigades replenishing ammunition and fuel, the battle has run out of suspense. The Russian army here will be completely wiped out under the rapid attack of the Qu army. It won't take more than an hour. (To be continued......)
