Chapter 696: Collision

On the Chinese Army side, there was only one company of assault guns in charge of frontal defense, and unlike tanks, the assault gun company had a slightly smaller establishment of only 12 vehicles. And in front of them were 30 Russian tanks of various kinds. Although it is in a defensive advantage, because the terrain is relatively flat, there are too few places that can be hidden, and the output of the stake is not conducive to finding death. Even if the 47MM gun can't destroy the assault gun, the 57MM gun still has a good chance when it gets close.

"After two rounds of shooting, release the smoke to evacuate!" BEFORE THE BATTLE, SUN QIANMING DELIBERATELY EXPLAINED HIS TACTICS, BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF TROOPS, SUN QIANMING HAD TO COOPERATE WITH THE 57MM ANTI-TANK GUN COMPANY EQUIPPED WITH INFANTRY. The artillery position must not be exposed in the first round of combat, otherwise it will be swept away by the howitzers behind even if it is not killed by the opponent's armored vehicles, and the tank will not be afraid of grenades, but the battle defense guns will not be able to carry it! After all, the so-called protection is just a frontal steel plate.

Therefore, the anti-artillery positions had to be retreated, and in the first wave of exchanges, the assault artillery units had to move forward and defend themselves against the first wave of attack. Anti-tank gun positions are to be out of the effective range of the opponent's howitzers. The assault guns in a defensive state were hidden behind the smoke and terrain because of their low stature and were not discovered by the Russians, and the 12 assault guns slowly adjusted their muzzles and slowly aimed at the Russian combat vehicles that were assaulting.

"Shoot two tracer rounds to calibrate the distance." Any artillery gun needs to be calibrated when firing at a longer distance. THE 37MM GUN OF TANK NO. 1 WAS ALSO FAST BECAUSE OF ITS FAST RATE OF FIRE AND THE FACT THAT IT WAS CHAIN-FED. Just shoot it with the 37 cannon and then correct it slightly. HOWEVER, THE NO. 1 ASSAULT GUN, WHICH WAS EQUIPPED WITH A 75MM SHORT GUN, WAS NOT SO EASY, AND THE RELATIVELY LOW RATE OF FIRE OF THE 75MM GUN MADE THE ASSAULT GUN FIRE VERY SLOW. THEREFORE, AFTER SOME RESEARCH, THE HUAXIA ARMY SPECIALLY INSTALLED A MACHINE GUN NEXT TO THE GUN SHIELD OF THE NO. 1 ASSAULT GUN, AND ITS TRAJECTORY IS VERY SIMILAR TO THAT OF THE 75MM SHORT GUN IN THE EFFECTIVE RANGE! In other words, it is possible to compare the guns by the impact point of the machine gun. It's a simple but practical technique. In Xu Jie's plane, the British still used it in the 50s!

"Left two-degree armor-piercing projectile ready!" After calibration, an assault gun locked onto a T3 self-propelled gun in front of the front with a scope. Attacks are carried out by selecting the most threatening targets. AND THE LONG 57MM GUN OF THE T3 TYPE SELF-PROPELLED GUN UNDOUBTEDLY TELLS THE OPPONENT, HIT ME, I AM THE STRONGEST! There was a clang, accompanied by the ejection of shell shells. THE MUZZLE OF THE SHORT 75MM GUN ERUPTED A TONGUE OF FIRE, AND A CAP-PIERCING SHELL SLAMMED INTO THE FRONT OF A T3 TANK NOT FAR AWAY. AT A DISTANCE OF UP TO 500 METERS, THIS ARMOR-PIERCING BULLET EASILY SHREDDED THE 30MM THICK ARMOR ON THE FRONT. The driver behind him was then torn to shreds, and an explosion occurred after penetrating the middle of the car!

THE POOR BATTLEFIELD CAME TO A HALT, AND THEN THE SLENDER 57MM CANNON WAS OVERTURNED BY A TREMENDOUS FORCE. The battlefield turned into a flaming fireball. At the same time, the other No. 1 assault guns continued to fire in less than 2 minutes. On that hand, 8 Russian combat vehicles were destroyed.

The fire from the muzzle of the gun soon revealed the position of the Huaxia armored forces. THE RUSSIAN COUNTERATTACK WAS SWIFT AND FIERCE, AND THE TANKS ARMED WITH 47MM AND 57MM GUNS BEGAN TO RETURN FIRE, AND THE GUNS CONTINUED TO SPIT OUT A DEADLY RAIN OF BULLETS TOWARDS THE SNEAK ATTACKERS. "Reverse at full speed and release the smoke!" With the commander's order, the No. 1 assault gun, which had already completed two rounds, began to withdraw, and the smoke canisters on the tank were opened, and gray-black smoke screens blocked the front of the tank, completely blocking the Russians' vision.

"Damn it." Kampf looked at the Huaxia chariot that retreated into the smoke and said a little depressed. But by this time he was no longer able to command the battles at the front. Without a radio station, what kind of work the front will be in depends entirely on the quality of the officers and men. Although it was hit hard in a salvo just now. However, the Russians still destroyed the load wheel of one assault gun and wounded the gun of the other. THE FORMER, AFTER DESTROYING 2 MORE T1 TANKS, WAS FINALLY DESTROYED BY A 57MM GUN FIRED AT CLOSE RANGE. And the latter, although he escaped by chance, also lost his combat effectiveness in a short time.

After the first blow, the Russian chariot rushed through the smoke and continued the pursuit, and the cavalry behind also began to attack. The roar of the chariot and the neighing of the war horse instantly resounded throughout the audience. Shortly after passing through the smoke curtain, the Russians spotted the No. 1 assault gun that had stopped reversing, and the remaining 10 assault guns were gathered together and pointed at the Russians with thick frontal armor! This is a collision without any fancy words, the distance between the two sides is only about 600 meters, and they are both rapid-fire guns, hitting is not a problem at all, and now the competition is protection!

With a bang, Sun Qianming felt that his chariot was knocked hard, and then a breaking sound came, and after looking at the undamaged inner wall, Sun Qianming couldn't help but rejoice. THE INCLINED 40MM ARMOR AND THE TRACKS HANGING ON THE OUTSIDE SAVED HIS LIFE. THEN IN THE GUN MIRROR, SUN QIANMING FIRMLY LOCKED THE OPPONENT AND SMASHED THE T1 TANK TO PIECES WITH A 75MM ARMOR-PIERCING BULLET. In this kind of hard-nosed encounter, the No. 1 assault gun, which uses inclined armor, is far more effective than the tank. 47MM CANNON FUNDAMENTAL CHANCE TARGET. AND THE 57MM GUN SHOULD ALSO BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO ATTACK THE SIDE.

And the armored vehicles of the Russians then began to move on both wings, and in the face of the Hedgehog No. 1 assault gun, they had no choice too much. NEARLY 10 75MM SHORT GUNS SPEWED TONGUES OF FIRE THAT CAUSED HEAVY LOSSES TO THE RUSSIAN TROOPS ATTACKING HEAD-ON. BUT WHEN THEY MOVED TO THE FLANKS, THEY FELL RIGHT INTO THE FLAT-FIRING GUN POSITIONS ON BOTH FLANKS, AND WHEN THE WIDE SIDES OF THE RUSSIAN TANK LEAKED OUT, THE 47MM FLAT-FIRING GUNS, WHICH HAD BEEN HOLDING BACK, FINALLY SPEWED OUT TONGUES OF FIRE!

"The other side is very well hidden, their artillery is low, and the artillery bunkers have been dug up, plus some camouflage, we didn't find these hidden assassins when we got close to 300 meters. At a distance of less than 300 meters, they attacked our weak side armor with armor-piercing shells. Oh my God, this is terrible, the fighting compartment of one T3 tank was easily penetrated, and then a figure covered in fire jumped out of the car, while the other was directly burned into charcoal, and the tank did not go a few steps, the ammunition placed in the open air was detonated, and the whole tank was blown into the sky! A surviving Russian soldier described the horror of the flat-firing guns as follows.

The ambushed Russian chariots hastily had no idea what state they were in. Some Russian commanders opened the roof to look for the enemy, but then heavy machine-gun fire either knocked the hapless commander into a honeycomb or forced him into the car. The accompanying cavalry was beaten on their backs by various grenadiers and mortars, and after the cavalry lost its speed and impact, it was slaughtered in the face of the infantry that had the advantage in numbers! The Cossacks worked hard to control their mounts, and the tall cavalry with the tall Don hippos was simply the best target for the Chinese soldiers to clear one by one with point shots.

The frontal attack did not work, the flanks were roundabout and ambushed, the Russian offensive at this time had effectively collapsed, the remaining tanks began to withdraw, and with the withdrawal of armored forces, the Cossack cavalry, which could only fight with the wind and preferred to plunder to battle, also began to retreat. Kampf watched in pain as one of the most elite armored units in his hands was beaten by the other side and was helpless.

If the frontal assault Russians were able to make a few moves, then the assault of the T1 machine-gun chariot and cavalry, armed only with machine guns on the flanks, became a complete farce. IN THE WOBBLY TANK, THE RUSSIAN MACHINE GUNNERS COULD ONLY SUPPRESS THE OPPOSING INFANTRY WITH RELATIVE ACCURACY WITHIN 300 METERS, AND THEY HAD TO FACE A COMPANY OF 14 NO. 1 TANKS ARMED WITH 37MM GUNS! ARMOR FROM 6 TO 8MM IS SIMPLY NOT ENOUGH TO WITHSTAND A POUND OF ARMOR-PIERCING SHELLS. "WE ATTACKED THEIR TANKS WITH 37MM GUNS AND THE INFANTRY, AND THERE WAS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MACHINE GUNS AND THE RUSSIAN INFANTRY. It's just a bunch of stuffy guys. After carefully examining the destroyed Russian combat vehicles, a Chinese officer said.

The flanks proved once again that this kind of cavalry and armoured charge was simply not suitable, the infantry could rely on the number and variety of weapons they carried to fight with tanks, they could use grenadiers and light mortars to destroy the enemy's hidden flat-fire guns, and machine guns could be used against those who approached the demolition crew. It is possible to clear mines from the front line. There are many things that can be done. But what can cavalry do? On the rushing horses, the cavalry could only use the saber in their hands! Although there are cavalry rifles, it is easy to imagine how difficult it is to hit the opponent on the back of a bumpy horse.

THE RUSSIAN ARMY ATTACKING ON THE FLANK CAN BE DESCRIBED AS A ONE-TOUCH COLLAPSE, AND THE RUSSIAN ATTACKING TROOPS, WHICH LACK HEAVY WEAPONS AND ONLY MACHINE GUNS, WERE DIRECTLY HIT BY 37MM GUNS, MORTARS AND MACHINE GUNS. Mortar shells exploded in the cavalry group. Countless pieces of shrapnel reaped the lives of chess players, stumps and broken arms and red blood spilled on the battlefield, and T-tanks were smashed into ruins. In just ten minutes, the armored units of the Chinese Army actually launched a counterattack, and the infantry that cooperated with it also jumped out of the trenches. Follow!

At this point in the battle, the Russian armored forces had already lost more than half of their troops, and the 20 cavalry companies involved in the attack had lost at least about 30%. And the Chinese Army lost no more than 10 vehicles on the battlefield. It can be said that the performance of the Chinese Army so far can be called perfect. But it was during the countercharge that the faster No. 1 tank collided with the T2 and some T3 vehicles that Kampf had left in his hands. THE FORMER IS ARMED WITH A 75MM SHORT GUN AND THE LATTER IS ARMED WITH A 57MM LONG GUN THAT CAN DESTROY TANK 1. In the case of being on the defensive, the Russian armored forces fought back. Seven No. 1 tanks were destroyed, while the rest temporarily abandoned the offensive. By the time the No. 1 assault gun and reinforcements arrived, the Russian mobile corps with excellent mobility had withdrawn a certain distance, maybe it was not possible to fight the Russians, but if it was to run, whether it was a chariot on wheels or a 4-legged horse, it was not something that the Chinese Army could catch up!
