Chapter 558: The First Battle of the Iron Cavalry
Dong Ku s s In a day, at most more than 100 kilometers, if it is a cavalry, 100 kilometers will not be used in a day.
"Hah! This is also my negligence, but it should be too late. ”
Dong Ku smiled and said, then ordered, "Five, record the message!" ”
"Yes!"
No. 5 took out a pen and paper and began to record the message, Shaoqing, and the radio waves flew into the sky.
The dog was busy arranging defense, and the sudden arrival of the telegram surprised him, and then shouted: "Send electricity to the assembled tanks, assemble in the No. 4 area, the scouts cast their nets to the No. 4 area, and the reconnaissance plane takes off!" Armored vehicles follow the movement of tanks, infantry vehicles have enough blood bags, move together, we are going to have a real combat exercise! ”
The tanks that were being assembled had not yet reached Ulaanbaatar, and when they received an order, they turned around and headed straight for Area 4. There, the area between the Mandal Gobi and Albaikhre, which is already the hinterland of Mongolia, there are not many villages along the way, it is very desolate, and it is only 200 kilometers away from Ulaanbaatar and the Gobi range.
The tanks, in the close pursuit of the logistics army, roared up smoke and dust, and galloped away into the distance. All the tankers don't know where to go and what to do, do they go there to practice shooting?
The armored car guarded the baggage, and the smoke and dust billowed all the way, chasing the rear of the tank and rushing forward. The infantry car, pulling the infantry, followed closely, escorting the baggage, and galloping forward in the dusty sky.
The scout, on horseback and in a jeep, rushed to the fourth area first. The reconnaissance plane, which remained behind, also took off and flew towards that area.
At this time. There is indeed a large army marching on the edge of the Gobi. Thousands of tanks kicked up the sand and dust in the sky, and drove forward in a mighty way, and behind them, the cavalry of five divisions guarded the baggage, pulled fuel supplies, and advanced forward in the dust.
A guide stands on the tank at the head. Directing the direction of progress, it is obvious that this thing is a hidden Soviet Russian traitor.
The commander of the tank group, Khovsky, already knew that the road was no more than 400 kilometers from Ulaanbaatar, and tonight, he could launch an attack on Ulaanbaatar.
The rapidly moving tanks did not notice a few figures lying on their stomachs on the sandy hills in the distance, nor did they see a reconnaissance plane that turned around a hundred kilometers away from them.
"Sure enough!"
The dog slammed his fist on the table, shaking the jar and jumping.
He received a report that he had discovered the enemy's traces, and he admired the captain's expectations. Shouted and ordered: "Order all tanks to replace with armor-piercing shells, let's see the power of the iron horse!" ”
The 400 tanks hidden behind a barren mountain had stopped advancing, and all the shells in the tanks were replaced by armor-piercing shells, and not a single high-explosive bomb was left.
The armored car was also equipped with ammunition, and there were thirty anti-aircraft machine gun cartridges on the car, not counting the heavy machine gun bullets.
In the infantry vehicle, all the fighters tried to stuff bullets into it. Ready to strangle.
In half an hour, all preparations were made. Left the necessary caretakers, tanks, divided into three strands, rushed to the established positions.
Armored vehicles, on the other hand, moved in large circles. Roundabout ahead, the infantry vehicle followed. They, who did not follow the tanks, they wanted to strangle the cavalry that followed behind.
Four hundred tanks. Nearly 1,000 armored and infantry vehicles kicked up smoke and dust and disappeared into the eyes of the people who guarded the baggage with iron fists and heavy machine guns.
The Russian troops were still moving forward at the same speed, and the dust was billowing forward.
Ahead, several jeeps searched for advance at a distance of more than twenty kilometers from the tank, clearing the way for the tank.
In the car, in addition to the scouts of Soviet Russia, there were also a few ordinary people dressed as spies, apparently, also spies or undercover personnel.
One of them looked at the roots of the barren mountain in the distance, and frowned suspiciously, the extra huge stone there made him not remember when he had it, but it certainly wouldn't have been before.
But he was only puzzled, so he withdrew his gaze and continued to stare ahead.
He didn't know that those stones were actually camouflage nets in the desert of tanks, and from a distance, they were big rocks, but thousands of kilometers away, who would have thought that there were cannon barrels stretched out under the stones?
On the edge of the Gobi, armored vehicles roared all the way and galloped forward. Here, the distance from the tank's travel path is more than thirty kilometers, and the tank group would not have thought that there would be a mechanical army in the Gobi to pass by them.
There were also tanks parked there, but there were no camouflage nets, waiting for the scouts to send a message and carry out a breakthrough.
At this time, the tankers and all the crew members inside did not know about the big battle that they were about to face, and they thought that this was an exercise, so they let them practice with live ammunition.
The Russian troops did not expect the enemy to think of the path of their surprise attack, which was not an ordinary distance from the border, and had already reached the edge of Xinjiang. There are almost no villages along the way, there are nomadic ones, and there are no advanced radio stations.
The tanks spread out for two kilometers, and the smoke and dust kicked up made it possible for the tanks behind to see only the tanks in front. They still have 200 kilometers left, and they will enter the attack position, and the remaining 200 kilometers will be there in four or five hours.
The tanks on the flanks saw the smoke and dust in the shadows under the camouflage net, and they were still confused, not knowing what kind of target was used for this exercise, obviously, it was a motor vehicle.
"That's not right! It was the tank of Soviet Russia!! ”
A commander saw the whole picture of the tank in front of him in the telescope and was immediately shocked.
Just as he was startled, the walkie-talkie rang.
"Remove the camouflage net, load the shells, and aim at the target and fire immediately!"
"Prepare for battle!"
"This is not a drill!"
"Remove the camouflage net!!"
The soldiers were busy in a panic as they shouted.
"To lock on to the target!"
"Lockdown complete!!"
In less than a minute, shouts rang out, and immediately, the captain shouted: "Fire!" ”
The advancing Soviet and Russian tanks, where are they expected to be ambushed by tanks thousands of kilometers away from the flanks? As he was on the move, suddenly, the observer saw a flash of fire from the periscope of the jacket.
"There is an attack on the left flank!!"
He immediately shouted.
The other tanks also heard it, but before they could stop, a loud bang sounded around them, and the tanks were like toys. Hit by a shell, the violent explosion directly flew the turret, and the expansion force from the inside to the outside detonated the shell inside the tank, and the loud bang rang out continuously.
"Reload! Next target on the left! ”
Inside the tank, the commander was a little calmer and shouted an order.
"Enemy attack!!"
"Enemy tanks!!"
The team that stopped moving forward also saw tanks kilometers away in the explosion. They all screamed in horror. You must know that their 100-caliber guns can't penetrate ordinary armor at all at a kilometer away, but the other party easily blew up their own tanks a kilometer away, which shows that those guys who look huge are obviously very fierce.
But even then, the turret turned, and the shells were reloaded. Kim Chol-chul, the moment when the fire flashed in the distance. There were also one or two hundred tanks fired a salvo here, and in the roaring firelight, a piece of projectiles flew into the distance.
"Forward!!"
More than 100 tanks on this side moved forward after firing a second round of shells.
A loud bang exploded around the tank, and puffs of smoke rose into the air, and in a matter of seconds, it was obscured by smoke and dust, and the tank was gone.
Did you hit it?
A question mark popped up in everyone's minds. Their intelligence shows that the enemy does not have tanks. When they saw tanks they had never seen before, they didn't know the bottom of their hearts.
But then they didn't have to answer. They all saw the tanks rushing out of the smoke.
"Fire!!"
As the voices shouted, the stopped tanks also moved to avoid being beaten passively.
At this time, the accuracy of non-stop shelling is very low, and the tanks of some countries have to stop, because they are not yet smoothbore guns. are inevitably affected by recoil.
But even if they stopped, it would be difficult for them to hit each other. The opponent's artillery is powerful, and the tanks move fast, and even aiming has become a problem.
"How can they be so fast!!"
A gunner anxiously moved the turret, but could not fire.
Look at the tanks here. They are all smoothbore gun designs, and when moving, the Venus flytrap fires in the direction, and the speed of the muzzle elevation angle adjustment and turret rotation is also much faster than that of Soviet and Russian tanks.
In the midst of the roaring tongue of fire, dozens of tanks caught fire.
"Outflank them!!"
"Don't let the enemy move!"
Russian tankmen shouted.
On the battlefield, as the tanks moved, they were immediately chaotic, and the Soviet Russian tanks outflanked left and right, trying to clamp the other party and win with numbers.
But as soon as they moved, a projectile flew from the direction of the Gobi on the right, and then a loud bang rang out, and the moment a sea of fire formed, hundreds of tanks turned into torches.
"Right-wing attack! The left is then approaching!! ”
Helfsky shouted over the walkie-talkie.
At the moment when the Russian army was approaching, the tanks on the left flank rushed at the Russian tanks, telling them to retreat, the roaring artillery sounds continued one after another, and one shell after another hit the tanks that chased them, trying to close the tanks, and then, sparks splashed everywhere, and one by one the tanks were blown into pieces.
"Why are they so powerful on the move?"
All the Soviet tankmen were stunned for a moment, and then in the binoculars they saw the straight barrel and the groove in the turret that could be used to move the elevation angle of the barrel.
"Their tanks are advanced!! The elevation angle can be adjusted with the barrel, and the tank vibration is weak after firing! ”
A tankman held up a telescope and watched, and then shouted the results.
But what's the use of shouting out? At this time, the tanks on the right flank had been divided into two, one wave moved behind the Russian tanks, and the other wave retreated like the left flank, constantly firing artillery.
Most of the shells of Soviet and Russian tanks hit behind the advance army T62, and in the smoke that kept rising, it was their own tanks that became scrap metal and torches one by one.
While!
With a crisp sound, boom, a ball of flame flashed on the T62's body, and before the Russian tankers could shout excitedly, his eyes widened. The enemy tank, which had been shelled, was unscathed, and then he saw the flames of the enemy.
Rumble! With a loud bang, the scorching heat engulfed his consciousness, and he didn't understand until he was dying, his cannonball was an armor-piercing shell, and the other party actually had nothing to do...... (To be continued......)
