Zhong Yi is in the "Iron Leopard" combat vehicle with a total weight of 20 tons, equipped with a Shenyang Heavy Industry Y4 180 horsepower gasoline engine, with a maximum road speed of 24 kilometers per hour and an off-road speed of 12 to 15 kilometers per hour.

The approximately square main turret can accommodate three crew members: the commander, the gun commander and the loader, and a 40x diameter 57 mm tank gun is mounted in the center of the front of the turret, which can fire 2.8 kg of high-explosive armor-piercing shells, with a maximum range of 6,500 meters, an effective direct range of more than 1,000 meters, and 120 rounds of ammunition.

On the left side of the main gun, a 1tǐng coaxial machine gun fed by a chain of 250 rounds is mounted side by side, operated by the gun commander; The high raised rotating conning tower in the left front of the turret is equipped with a 1tǐng circumferential machine gun fed by 50 rounds of drums, operated by Zhong Yi, who is also the commander; A 1tǐng chain-fed course machine gun was installed in the spherical gun mount on the left side of the front of the hull, operated by a radio communicator. The spherical mount at the rear of the turret also contained a 1tǐng drum-fed tail machine gun, operated by the main gun loader;

A total of millimeter machine guns are installed in the vehicle, and 16 250-round cartridge boxes and 16 50-round drums are equipped, totaling 4,800 rounds of ammunition.

The welded armor in the front part of the hull was inclined 30 degrees and had a thickness of 30 mm, and the sides were almost perpendicular to the armor in the rear and had a thickness of 20 mm.

The armor thickness of the turret was 30 mm on the front and sides, and 20 mm at the back, and the small gun shield that covered only about one-third of the front of the turret was 50 mm thick, and the circle of conning tower walls around Zhong Yi's head was also 50 mm thick at its thickest point.

At this moment, around Zhong Yi's company commander's car, there were also thirteen other "iron leopards" of the 1st company: the deputy company commander's car of the company was immediately on the left, and the three chariot platoons under the company's jurisdiction were centered on the company headquarters and spread out in an inverted wedge shape - 1 platoon on the left, 2 platoons on the right, and 3 platoons in the rear.

Each platoon's four vehicles are lined up in diamond-shaped squads: the platoon long seat is at the front, and the three subordinate groups are located on the other three water chestnuts.

On the left side of the 1st Company, the 2nd Company, which was also equipped with 14 "Iron Leopards", also launched the same formation, between the two main companies, there were the car of the battalion commander Fu Liang and the other two "Iron Leopards" of the battalion headquarters, and the rear of the battalion headquarters was the 3rd Company equipped with 14 "Flying Wolf Reforms".

On the left side of the entire 1st Mixed Tank Battalion, the 43 tanks of the 2nd Mixed Tank Battalion were deployed side by side in the same combat sequence and formation.

The 2nd Battalion was exactly the same as the 1st Battalion, and it was supposed to have 45 chariots at full strength, but just a few hours ago, when the whole battalion crossed the Oren River by means of heavy pontoon bridges and motorized floating rafts, a "Iron Leopard" directly under the battalion headquarters overturned into the river due to improper operation, and then a "Flying Wolf Reform" of the 3rd Company fell into the quagmire of the river bank again.

In the backward position between the two main tank battalions, the reserve unit personally controlled by Brigadier General Lin Yi, the commander of the detachment, also spread out the formation: the five "Iron Leopards" of the detachment headquarters were in the center, the 14 "Iron Leopards" of the 2nd Independent Tank Battalion Provisional Company were on the right, and the 14 "Flying Wolves" of the provisional tank company of the 6th Armored Army were on the right.

The above totaling 121 chariots formed the main assault group that led the attack on the No. 2 "wild boar" forest in the northwest of the landing site today.

The left flank cover group, which spread out to the west of the main assault group, consisted of two tank battalions from the 18th Panzer Brigade, and the right flank group to the east was two tank battalions from the 19th Panzer Brigade - these tank battalions were already short of more than 30% before crossing the Ural River, with an average of only more than 30 tanks per battalion. Only then did the number of tanks per battalion increase to about twenty-five.

Including the two cover groups, the total number of combat vehicles deployed by the Chinese army on the frontal line of about three kilometers in front of the "wild boar" forest that day was as high as 220, of which more than one-third were the "Iron Leopard" medium tanks with strong firepower.

Behind the combat vehicles of the main assault group and the cover group, three infantry battalions riding "camel" half-track armored personnel carriers were deployed side by side as "motorized infantry groups" accompanying the tank group, of which the mixed armored infantry battalion directly under the mounted cavalry detachment was in the center, the provisional 1st motorized (armored) infantry battalion directly under the assault group was on the left, and the provisional 2nd motorized (armored) infantry battalion was on the right.

The standard 1916 armoured infantry battalion consisted of three infantry companies and one hoplite company.

The battalion headquarters was equipped with three "camels", each equipped with a one-millimeter light machine gun, and one of the vehicles carried three Type 97 bolt-action sniper rifles equipped with a four-fold magnifying scope - for the use of the three sniper groups on board.

The infantry company has three infantry platoons and one machine gun platoon, and the company headquarters is equipped with two "camels", each equipped with a one-millimeter light machine gun.

The infantry platoon consisted of a platoon and four infantry squads, each riding a "camel".

The platoon of the infantry platoon is equipped with a 37-mm flat-fire infantry gun and a 1-mm light machine gun with a 30x diameter, and a Seungheon four-year semi-automatic rifle with a 1.5x magnifying scope for use by a "special marksman" directly under the platoon on board.

The infantry squad is equipped with a 1 mm light machine gun and carries a 40 mm grenadier canister, in addition to the driver with a pistol, a vehicle-mounted machine gunner (usually a deputy squad leader) and a grenadier driver, and nine riflemen (including squad leader) equipped with a Chengxian four-year semi-automatic rifle.

The machine gun platoon consisted of a platoon headquarters, two 60 mortar squads and two heavy machine gun squads, each on a "camel".

The platoon of the cannon platoon was equipped with a 13mm anti-aircraft machine gun and a 7.92mm light machine gun.

The mortar squad is equipped with a 7.92 mm light machine gun and two 60 mm light mortars.

The heavy machine gun squad is equipped with a 13mm anti-aircraft machine gun, two tripod-mounted 7.92mm water-cooled heavy machine guns, and a ground tripod with a 13mm machine gun.

The entire fully armored infantry company should be equipped with 22 "camels", a total of 20 7.92mm light machine guns, 3 13mm anti-aircraft machine guns, 37mm flat-fire infantry guns, and 16 40mm grenadier mm water-cooled heavy machine guns and four 60mm mortars.

The heavy company has two platoons of 75 infantry guns and two platoons of 80 mortars, and the company headquarters is also equipped with two "camels" with one-millimeter light machine guns each.

The infantry artillery and mortar platoon consisted of a platoon headquarters, three 75 mm infantry gun or 80 mm mortar squads, and one ammunition squad, each on a "camel".

The platoon carrying vehicle of the heavy company is equipped with the same configuration as the cannon platoon carrying vehicle of the infantry company.

The heavy company's artillery squad is equipped with a 7.92mm light machine gun and a towed 75mm infantry gun or an 80mm mortar.

The ammunition squad was equipped with a 7.92mm light machine gun, which was mainly used to carry and transport additional shells.

The entire fully armored infantry battalion should be equipped with 91 "camels" and be equipped with heavy equipment including 12 tǐng of 89 mm light machine guns, 10 tǐng of 13 mm anti-aircraft machine guns, 48 40 mm grenadier canisters, 12 60 mm mortars, 9 37 mm flat-fire infantry guns, and 3 75 mm infantry guns and 3 80 mm mortars.

The three armored infantry battalions that took part in the attack on the "wild boar" woods that day were actually equipped with less than 250 "camel" half-tracks of various types, with a crew of about 2,600 people, of which there were only more than 1,000 "pure infantry" who could get off the vehicles and launch an attack, but the various support firepower was very considerable, and the various light and heavy machine guns alone exceeded 300 tǐng!

In addition to its own powerful support firepower, the motorized infantry group was followed by five "Fire Wolf" self-propelled infantry batteries of the mobile artillery group, as well as an entire mixed special artillery battalion.

The "Fire Wolf" self-propelled infantry gun is based on the chassis of the "Flying Wolf" light combat vehicle, and is equipped with a large fully enclosed three-person turret, which is equipped with a one-diameter Type 15 75 mm infantry gun, which can fire a 4-kilogram grenade to a distance of 4,500 meters, with an effective direct firing distance of no more than 1,000 meters and 60 rounds of ammunition.

A 7.92 mm machine gun fed by 1 tǐng drum is mounted on a small low conning tower at the top of the turret, and the commander must lean out half of his body to operate, and the car is equipped with eight 50-round drums for a total of 400 rounds.

The hull armor of the "Fire Wolf" is comparable to that of the "Flying Wolf", and the turret protection is relatively weak, except for the thickness of the gun shield reaching 11 mm, the armor of the rest of the parts is only 5 mm, which can only resist ordinary bullets and shell fragments, and because the coaxial machine gun and hull machine gun are not installed, generally speaking, it should not be used as a combat vehicle to lead the infantry to charge, but should be as careful as possible to observe the duty of the "infantry gun".

In addition, due to the weight burden of the large turret, the maneuvering xìng of the "Fire Wolf" was slightly lower than that of the "Flying Wolf", with a maximum speed of no more than thirty kilometers per hour on the road and fifteen-eighteen kilometers per hour off-road.

Each "Fire Wolf" artillery company was equipped with six artillery trucks, one "Camel" half-track armored command vehicle, and two half-track ammunition vehicles, and the five "Fire Wolf" artillery batteries of the mobile artillery group should have 30 artillery vehicles according to their establishment, but due to combat losses and mechanical failures, only 23 of them were actually put into battle that day.

The so-called "mixed special artillery battalion" is actually an anti-tank artillery unit (commonly known as "combat vehicle defense artillery" or "combat defense artillery") towed by a "camel" half-track armored vehicle, with three special artillery companies under its jurisdiction, each company under the jurisdiction of three artillery platoons, and the artillery platoon is composed of a platoon headquarters and four artillery squads.

The platoon was equipped with a 13mm anti-aircraft machine gun and a 7.92mm light machine gun, and a 13mm combat vehicle defense gun (referred to as the "battle defense gun") of the Chengxian Five-Year Style

The artillery squad is equipped with a one-millimeter light machine gun and tows a 14-type 45 times diameter 37-millimeter anti-aircraft gun.

The company headquarters was equipped with two "camels", and the entire artillery company was equipped with a total of seventeen "camels" and twelve guns.

The battalion headquarters is equipped with three "camels", the same configuration as the company headquarters and platoon headquarters, with a total of 54 "camels" and 36 anti-tank guns, 54 7.92 mm machine guns, 18 13 mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and 18 13 mm anti-aircraft guns.

In the rear of the "Fire Wolf" company and the anti-aircraft artillery company, the two "Alpaca" self-propelled howitzer batteries of the mobile artillery group will also follow, but will not follow closely into the woods, and these 12 "Alpacas" will be hidden behind the embankment in the center of the "Pinggu", and the 10-0 Type 22 105-mm howitzers mounted on the "Camel" half-track chassis will be ready to shoot 18-kilogram grenades at targets within eight kilometers at any time at the radio call of the armored command vehicle in front.

Behind the "Alpaca" company were the three infantry regiments of the 3rd Praetorian Division, which were hidden in the woods along the landing site in the dark, and most of them were huddled in hastily dug bunkers to avoid the Russian artillery fire that came from time to time. More than 10,000 infantry of these infantry regiments will carry machine guns and infantry guns on foot through the "Pinggu" to control and clear the entire forest after the main assault group and the motorized infantry group have seized the commanding heights of the "wild boar" forest.

On the west side of these three regiments, the left flank containment group composed of the 12th Regiment of the 3rd Praetorian Guard Division and the 34th Regiment of the 9th Infantry Division, with the support of more than 20 combat vehicles of the 20th Armored Brigade, will launch a diversion attack on the Russian 39th Division and the 11th Armored Vehicle Brigade entrenched in the No. 3 "pheasant" forest west of the landing field, so as not to threaten the left flank of the main attacking force.

In the eastern part of the landing site, the 5th Panzer Army merged five broken tank battalions into two temporary tank battalions, with a total of more than 80 combat vehicles, and formed an auxiliary assault group with two infantry regiments of the 4th Guard Division, which was responsible for frontally suppressing the No. 1 "reindeer" forest on the northeast side of the landing field.

As for the remaining tank battalion of the 5th Panzer Army, it has long been reduced to a temporary company, but more than a dozen combat vehicles have been strengthened at this time to the 15th Regiment of the 3rd Janissary Division, which is the backbone of the right flank containment group, in order to carry out a diversionary attack on the Russian 115th Division in the area of Sakmara's village on the east side of the landing site.

To the south of the landing field, across the wide Orun River, 360 cannons, including 90 heavy guns, had been roaring for a whole hour, and most of the shells had hit the No. 2 "wild boar" forest in front of Zhong Yi.

Suddenly, slender white smoke rose from the edge of the woods, and gradually, with the wind, it became a smoke screen - this should be the masterpiece of the independent mortar battalion directly under the front army, in order to cover the sight of the enemy army and cover the hundreds of armored vehicles of our army through the open "Pinggu" field.

Even so, Zhong Yi's line of sight was still constantly lifting the dust pillars blown up by the cannonballs, and as the chariot under the seat shook forward, the dust pillars were getting closer and closer, and shrapnel and gravel clanged on the armor shell from time to time, fortunately, Zhong Yi had long been accustomed to the periscope observation scope of the "Iron Leopard", and would not subconsciously take his eyes away from the narrow but violent observation hole like he had done in the past driving the "Flying Wolf" and "Strategy".

The sound of electricity that had been hissing in the headset for a long time was suddenly broken by a hot-blooded voice.

"Listen, everyone, this is not our last battle, but it must be the enemy's last battle! Long live the Praetorian Guard! Long live the Empire! Long live our emperor! Listen to my orders, only advance, not retreat, whoever dares to retreat, first tie his head to the barrel! ”

With such a tone, even if the voice is out of shape after the conversion of electricity, Zhong Yi doesn't need to bother to guess - who else can there be besides the Lin team leader?

Zhong Yi sneered, and muttered in his heart: "You can't talk about anything else, what is the 'last battle', your whole family is the last battle!" This is a war, not a group fight, even if it is a group fight, you have to use some brains, Lao Tzu was named the 'King of Fights' in school back then, but it didn't rely on his fists alone. If you can enter, you will enter, if you can't enter, you will go around, if you can't go around, you will retreat first, you will be disturbed, you will be trapped, you will be trapped and attacked, and it is the royal road to wait for work and surprise ......"

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the whole car shook violently like chaff, Zhong Yi threw himself forward, and his head hit the thick armored wall of the conning tower, although there was a sponge cushion on the forehead of the protective hat, it still shook him to the ground, and his nose was sour at the moment, and tears burst out unconsciously.

After about two puffs of cigarettes, Zhong Yi recovered his strength, but found that the chariot had stopped, and hurriedly pinched the throat microphone pinned to his collar and called the driver.

"Xiao Wang, how did you do it?"

"It could be that the left track was blown off."

Zhong Yi secretly complained in his heart: "I grass, I won the lottery just out of the forest!" ”

immediately ordered: "What are you still doing, get out of the car for me, and when the smoke screen clears, we won't be able to catch up with the big army, we will be a live target!" ”

After briefly explaining to the battalion commander and deputy company commander on the radio, Zhong Yi sighed, lifted the roof of the command tower, and saw the chariots of the entire company and battalion rolling past him, and the dust in the sky almost covered his eyes.

Climbing down from the high conning tower was a trick, Zhong Yi used both hands and feet, and it took half a minute to land safely, and before he could gain a firm foothold, the herds of "camels", "fire wolves", and "alpacas" rumbled and rolled through the dust, feeding Zhong Yi and his car crew alive with dust.

Spit out a mouthful of black and yellow saliva, Zhong Yi and the crew looked at each other, and couldn't help but giggle at each other.

"Laugh, laugh fart, if you don't want to die, hurry up and start work!"

……

Jingshi, Xinhua Palace, the No. 1 real-time situation demonstration hall of the base camp.

It was nearly noon, and the June sun was already shining, and the huge arched windows were closed with lace-edged embroidered gold curtains.

"This Liang Tianhe is really a tendon, obviously the whole offensive is meaningless, and I still have to fight for such a breath......"

High up in the console, Liu Qianhua, with her long black silk crossing, overlooked the huge sand table in the middle of the hall, and sighed a little lazily through the curling steam of Vietnamese coffee in her cup.

"Even if you can't win, you have to make the other party suffer, Liang Tianhe is such a person."

Gu Yingyang, the chief of the General Staff who was standing with his arms on the side, smiled helplessly.

"According to the usual practice, once the operation begins, the opinions of the local commander should be fully respected, and if Liang Tianhe himself does not propose to suspend the operation, it is not easy for the base camp to forcibly intervene."

Liu Qianhua smiled faintly: "This is not unreasonable, the rear does not know the truth of the front line, and the order is changed overnight, which is originally a taboo in the army - since the heavy responsibility has been entrusted to Liang Tianhe, let him do it." ”

"It seems that the emperor expected this." Gu Yingyang had something to say.

"What do you say?"

This time it was a faint evil smile.

…… RO！。
