Five, Seven, Six: Steel, Storm! (b)

One day, in the early hours of the morning, at 2 o'clock sharp. 【 I want: super fast update 】

The cold snap in Siberia in September was already evident, and the soldiers needed to be wrapped in thick cotton clothes at night to work, and if they didn't touch the tank armor with gloves, it would be cold to the bone.

Two armoured regiments, one heavy regiment, plus a reconnaissance battalion and two cavalry battalions, 270 M3 Gepard tanks, 68 Wildcat armoured vehicles equipped with 127 mm Viper machine guns, light machine guns or 80 mm vehicle-mounted recoilless guns, and 100 troop carriers.

If such luxury equipment is placed on the plains, except for ammunition and fuel, it is basically not necessary to worry about the spirit, but if it is used to storm a fortress, it is absolutely not enough.

Although he still had a full cavalry division on his hands, Nagayama would not be stupid enough to expose his cavalry to enemy fortresses and machine guns for the time being.

He knew very well that the successful capture of the Tomsk fortress depended on whether the air force could destroy the threatening artillery, and whether the subsequent infantry could arrive and deliver it in time, otherwise the mission would be no different from sending him to death.

The Forward Command has spent a lot of energy on this mission and has already managed to empty the troops near Tomsk. Success, it will be a perfect long-distance attack, and failure may cause the Russian army to be alert, and it will take several times the strength to conquer it in the future.

The tankers shook the refueling handles, eager to fill every inch of space in the makeshift oil drums behind the tanks and butts, and after the boxes of ammunition were disassembled, they were stuffed into the tanks and armored vehicles.

"If it weren't for them, I'm afraid they'd have lost at least a fifth of their equipment along the way, but even then, eleven trucks and a tank had to blow up vital parts before pushing them to the bottom of the lake along the way."

The infantry is also being inspected, under the weight of 100,000 Russian troops, even if you bring an extra bullet, sometimes you can save your life, and a few grenadiers with iron fists on their backs on their backs made the corners of Yongshan's mouth hook slightly, since the success of the Nighthawk in Paris, this kind of bazooka has begun to be equipped in large quantities, and they have become one of the important means of infantry attack.

"Commander." Roasted bran trotted all the way with a telegram: "The command calls back, and the bomber will take off at four o'clock" according to the distance, "it will arrive at five o'clock in the evening and drop the bomb." ”

"In addition, the vanguard regiment of the 23rd Infantry Division is still 20 kilometers away from us, and their commander said that they can arrive an hour late." 5:30 a.m.

Nagayama calculated the time in his mind, the M3 Cheetah can travel at a speed of at least 35 kilometers per hour on the plains, which means that it is time to set off, otherwise it will not be able to launch a surprise attack in the panic period when the air force has finished dropping bombs. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Learning Network)

"Inform Shen Hao, let's start!" After saluting, the bran quickly ran to the command car.

A moment later, three thousand cavalry as bait rushed out of the woods like a flood: "Although there were armored divisions and infantry divisions, and a large number of tanks, trucks, and even three-wheeled motorcycles began to be equipped, the General Staff retained four cavalry divisions as mobile forces after consideration.

At the moment, it seems that this choice is still right, these guys who don't need fuel can get close to the enemy to launch a surprise attack, which is suitable for small-scale surprise attacks at night, such as this time, if you use tanks and Xijia cars as bait, I am afraid that you will be discovered by the enemy before you get close.

As the cavalry quickly disappeared into the darkness "after a makeshift defensive line made of trees, tractors and trucks, 48 105-mm howitzers quickly lifted their barrels, and infantry and machine gunners also got into the middle between the trucks and the stakes."

Since the trucks needed to be left behind for subsequent army transports, many soldiers got into the wildcats, or climbed onto top the tanks of the two assault regiments and used them as free mounts.

Half an hour later, "a dazzling fire suddenly exploded in the darkness in the distance, and the north wind quickly brought the sound of explosions" Hearing this sound, Nagayama immediately raised his right hand and turned it overhead.

This is the signal for the tank crew to go!

The successive explosions "drowned out the roar of the engines, and nearly 400 tanks and vehicles lined up in a long line and quickly headed west" They will go in a big circle thirty kilometers west of Volonikolaivsk for the first major assault of the armored era.

At the same time, the ** armored regiment that left behind to support was also divided into parts and scattered to the left and right flanks, "After the Cossack cavalry pursued, it would become two sharp blades that would be cut across the flanks to give the opponent a fatal blow."

After the armored regiment disappeared into the darkness, Yongshan walked towards the command armored car, and said to Shen Hao and the roasted bran who were left behind: "This place will be handed over to you, and when the flying infantry division arrives, let them get in the car and chase after them." ”

"Nagayama (division commander) rest assured!" After saluting the two, Yongshan got into the armored command vehicle that had been activated, and the tank company directly under the division protected the command vehicle around the command vehicle and "followed the rolling iron flow to the north."

Half an hour later, the camp that had gradually fallen silent became tense with the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, and one after another shells were stuffed into the chambers, and everyone was in good spirits.

After a few minutes, "the cavalry who used the bait quickly returned to the back of the position along the deliberately left slit, and then a huge black line appeared on the horizon" Looking at this black line, the roasted bran immediately ordered.

"Quarter fire!" 12 105-mm howitzers spewed out dazzling fireballs, and these artillerymen, unable to carry out a quick and concealed assault due to traction and ammunition, vented all their frustration on the pursuing Cossack cavalry.

The explosion exploded in the middle of the black line, and the fragments swept away with a roar, and the Cossack cavalry, who were caught off guard, did not expect that the other side actually had heavy artillery, and originally wanted to retreat temporarily, but the sudden sparse shooting points made them reexcited, because the enemy did not seem to have much.

Dressed in a black cloak and holding the famous saber, the sound of Ulla resounded throughout the plain, and the charge of 30,000 Cossack cavalry was enough to make the earth tremble, and even the roasted bran that had experienced actual combat for the first time behind the deep steel defense line was a little discolored.

"Don't be nervous, get closer and then fight" The Cossack cavalry had very few rifles, so as long as you don't go out, they won't be able to hit you. When the infantry passed the news to each other, Shen Hao squinted his eyes and patted the young staff officer on the shoulder: "Don't worry, they won't be able to call out for a while!" After saying that, he immediately mounted his war horse and ran back, because he knew that when the Cossack cavalry was exhausted by machine guns and tanks, "it was time for the 1st Cavalry Division to play."

Shen Hao was right, "Major General Krasnov, who was dragging behind in the darkness in the distance, already felt that something was wrong" Looking at the black lines that appeared from time to time in the fire in the distance, his eyebrows furrowed suddenly, as the commander of the elite Cossack cavalry division, he could clearly feel that it should be a temporary obstacle, so his finger immediately pointed to the left and right.

Suddenly, the 30,000 cavalry were divided into three arrows, but before the arrows could be completely separated, Major General Krasnov's eyeballs exploded!

I saw that dozens of orange-red cannons were spewed out of the darkness in the distance, and then countless tongues of fire erupted from the middle of the black barrier, "The cavalry rushing in front fell like wheat."

The war horse fell down with a scream, and the soldier was ejected through, and before he could save himself after rolling on the ground, he was crushed by the hooves of his partner behind him.

The tongue of fire reflected the fierce face of the machine gunner, and the muzzle of the gun was swallowed every ten seconds, "Especially the big Viper heavy machine gun, which has almost become a big killer of the cavalry, with a strong range and thick bullets, in the face of the Cossack cavalry charging intensively" almost every shot can be harvested.

But this did not intimidate the cavalry, and Ulla's charge was still loud, but when their first cavalry finally rushed to the black line, they were completely desperate "because the black line was not a simple stake and barbed wire, but a row of steel walls made of trucks and tractors!"

The infantrymen hiding in the middle finally opened fire, and although the bullets were not as fierce as the machine guns and cannons, the concentration of thousands of semi-automatic rifles was also very impressive, and in just ten minutes, the first wave of Cossack cavalry rushing to the front of the embankment-like position was completely defeated.

"Rush" "Rush" "Rush!" ”

When the Cossack cavalry behind saw that the situation was not good, he was about to turn around, "The rumbling motor sound had sounded in the darkness, and the 120 M3 cheetahs of the ** armored regiment left behind to assist rushed out of the darkness, and these terrible steel monsters launched an encirclement and suppression in a scattered formation, and the two steel arms that were almost five kilometers wide were squeezed towards the center little by little like a flood."

These steel chariots simply became a nightmare for the Cossack cavalry "In order not to cause accidental damage, after only a few moments of fire from the rapid-fire guns, the tank crews simply abandoned the machine guns" and began to use machine guns.

Many Cossack cavalry began to rush towards the gap between them, hoping to avoid the terrible rain of machine-gun bullets, but the few cavalrymen who escaped the top machine-gun blockade were shot to the ground by the infantry who followed behind the tanks and covered with steel.

Major General Krasnov was stunned, he didn't know how many Chinese troops there were in the darkness in the distance, because at this time, the fire from mobile guns and cannons on the battlefield showed that "at least more than three hundred, you must know that the elite Caucasian Sixth Army on the Russian Eastern Front only adds up to about a thousand machine guns and artillery!"

Could it be that in the darkness on the other side, there are at least 200,000 troops of more than 200,000 troops?!

Thinking of this, "his back is cold, and all the cavalry guns in his cavalry division add up to less than 5,000, and even if 30,000 people are pulled, I am afraid they will not last long."

Seeing the fallen soldiers in the firelight, Major General Krasnov's heart was dripping blood, this is a war, it is simply a massacre!

Slaughter the good Cossack fighters with machine guns and artillery!

"Retreat, retreat!" In just twenty minutes, Major General Krasnov began to shout to retreat, but the sound of the horn suddenly sounded again in the darkness made him despair, perhaps not as loud as Ula, but the sound was as daunting as the snort of the demon when it woke up. The 1st Cavalry Division, composed of thousands of elite Mongol warriors who had grown up on horseback, began to countercharge, unlike the Cossack cavalry, which continued to use broadswords: "Although the Mongol cavalry was also issued with cavalry knives that imitated Tang horizontal knives, they clearly preferred the short but fast twenty-shot barge guns.

After a lapse of several hundred years, these grandsons of Genghis Khan "gave up their bows and arrows and returned to the Great Plain of Western Siberia with pride with advanced rifles and shell guns"!

Looking at the Mongolian cavalry rushing from all directions, and listening to the sound of the horn of the East, which had enslaved Russia for nearly a hundred years, Major General Krasnov seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, and there was only one voice left in his ears.

"Kill!"! ~!
