As a Russian general, Chekov had seen countless spectacle of cavalry charges, but it was the first time he had seen so many steel hedgehogs gathered together, rushing wildly, and when the smoke billowed from the south, ten kilometers wide, he found that he had less than 3,000 troops in that direction!

"Plug them!" , "Fortress cannon fire!" ”

The commander's angry shouts and death threats after the defeat made the Russian soldiers use their savagery and rudeness to the extreme, and in just one minute, the two main guns of the fortress slowly turned their muzzles and burst into roars. 【 I want: super fast update 】

Many G-inch and 4-inch cannons also joined the chorus, and the Tomsk fortress, which had just been tormented by bombs and cried incessantly, suddenly regained a few more vitality.

Explosions exploded between the two armored regiments of the assault, and this scene made the group of storm attack planes that had just arrived frenzied, and they thought that they would not have much leftovers after being swept by the bombers, and they immediately found their target and killed them.

Unlike most fortresses, the Tomsk fortress lacked mountains around it, and the Russian designers believed that the threat must have come from the east, so the batteries were all arranged in a trapezoidal shape, and although it was possible to shoot in all directions, some of the small-caliber guns in the lower places had dead ends.

Behind the fort, the main body of the fortress was cast from thick rock and cement, and there was a wide fortress wall around the perimeter, and the Trans-Siberian Railway ran through the middle of the fortress city, plus the fortress was densely scattered with fire points, forming the entire fortress.

A little more than a year ago, when the Tomsk fortress had just been completed, the Russian army told Nicholas II that it would be impossible to break through the huge fortress without an army of more than 300,000 people.

It's a pity that at that time, not to mention Russia, even the world didn't realize that the big threat to the fortress was no longer the army but the air force, if there were no bombers, no attack aircraft, then unless there was a German big Berta shelling at close range, at least 100,000 soldiers were needed, otherwise the Chinese system, Zhenghe, and millimeter shells alone could not tear through the defense line at all.

But now it's different!

The storm single-seat attack aircraft was carefully developed by the Aviation Design Institute, without all the harsh restrictions of carrier-based aircraft, plus a fairly moderate engine, it was infinitely close to the dive attack aircraft that Li Mo wanted, so when the fortress exploded violently and all the firepower was exposed, the first squad and receiver immediately found the target and began to dive at a small angle.

The No. 3 battery, which had not been destroyed in the previous bombing, became the target of scramble, and an attack plane was the first to grab the prey, and in the face of the anti-aircraft shells passing through the surroundings, the pilot stared at the angle meter obsessively, until he saw that it was about to collide with the battery, and then pulled the bomb button.

The plane grazed the top of the sealed turret with a 250-kilogram bomb and whizzed into the concrete structure underneath the turret, where the explosion tore a large gap and half of the turret was almost torn off.

Seeing that it was not completely destroyed, the pilot patted his helmet in frustration, and at this time the second attack plane had already circled the rear, and thirty seconds later the bomb dropped by this plane accurately hit the main body of the battery.

The well shell pierced the top of the concrete, and the explosion occurred from the inside, and the entire battery was flattened with a dozen 203-mm shells that were detonated.

After all eight threatening fortress guns were silenced, some pilots began to target some sporadic fire points outside the fortress that might prevent the infantry division from breaking through.

"Did the reconnaissance plane find a breakthrough?"

Inside the bumpy armored command vehicle, Yongshan's face was anxious, fifteen kilometers is more than half an hour for the armored regiment, if the bombers can't knock through the thick fortress walls within half an hour, Hua will be very dangerous for the infantry who follow the armored regiment.

"Found it!" After contacting the two Mustang that were responsible for reconnaissance and support, the communications officer excitedly removed the headset and shouted: "Division commander, there is a gap of twenty meters in diameter in the east parapet." ”

"Great!"

Yongshan slapped the table fiercely and ordered: "Order a regiment to protect the infantry to the east, and suppress the machine guns and artillery with all your strength to ensure the safety of the infantry!" **The regiment is scattered in battalions to protect the safety of both wings!

"Order the reconnaissance battalion, wrap the boots. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. "Teacher, look.

”

The staff officer's shout interrupted Nagayama's words, and when he looked up, he saw a fighter plane pulling black smoke towards him, and when the plane passed overhead, a white umbrella suddenly opened up from the sky, and the plane that lost control hit the ground headlong.

"Send three Wildcats to rescue the pilot, and two more to inspect the wreckage of the plane and destroy it completely!" "Yes!" Just as the five Wildcats quickly broke away from the formation, the pilots in the sky suddenly saw that it was not the first time that the Second Division of the Red Sky had suffered losses, but the old falcons had all been damaged due to mechanical failures, and this was the first time that they had been hit by shells, so an impulsive pilot rushed directly to the dense anti-aircraft guns that had just hit his partner, regardless of the danger.

In just two minutes, the position, which had five 157-mm and four 34-mm anti-aircraft guns, was patronized by four 250-kilogram bombs, so much so that the place in the hand was directly turned into a large crater.

Originally, the fortress had only 13 57-mm anti-aircraft guns and rapid-fire guns, all of which were installed in the fortress batteries and killed them, and most of them were lost in the previous bombardment, so after destroying the latter air defense point, it meant that the Tomsk fortress was almost stripped of its clothes in front of the attack aircraft group.

As the first wave of 24 storms began to return quickly, and the second, * aircraft groups had also arrived and began to circle, but they did not immediately drop bombs on the inside of the fortress, but according to the assault route of the armored regiment, launched a fixed-point bombardment, as one fire point after another was destroyed by bombs, the Tomsk fortress finally opened its gates in front of the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division.

After more than 100 3 Cheetahs moved to the front of the fortress with dozens of trucks, the 61st Army of the Russian Caucasian Group Army, which had just rushed out of the fortress, suffered a fierce blow, and the 800-meter distance of the millimeter machine guns was simply a grim reaper, and when a division that rushed out was not deployed along the fortress, it was hit back by shells that cut its head and covered its face, and more than 4,000 people were killed and wounded in just five minutes.

Under the suppression of the tanks, the fire point in front of the fortress did not even have a chance to fire, and seeing this scene, the truck, which had been following in the distance, quickly accelerated, rushed to the back of the tank cluster and began to release the infantry.

Suddenly, several tongues of fire were pulled out from several hidden fire points, and the two trucks that had not yet stopped were smashed into a sieve before they could dodge, and the more than seventy unsuspecting infantry on them were torn apart by the rainstorm of bullets before they could jump off.

However, several firing points were not complacent, "the 37-mm shells that followed penetrated the outer wall", and in just a few tens of seconds, all three machine guns were dumbfired.

"Spread out the formation and use the tank cover!" "Run, run!" After nearly 5,000 infantry got out of the car, the remaining trucks did not stop for a minute, and turned around and drove south under the protection of twenty wildcats, because they had to rush back to transport their infantry companions behind.

The bullets pierced between the fortress and the tank cluster, and the Russian soldiers who were suppressed back used bricks and broken fortresses as cover, and although the machine guns on the 3 hunters had also opened fire to suppress them with all their might, more than 300 fighters still fell on the road of just a few hundred meters.

Boom Boom Boom ......

Seeing that the infantry was about to approach the gap, the sudden explosion of fire from among them made everyone's pupils shrink into cold stars, and even a 3 Cheetah tank was caught off guard by the shells that knocked off the turret, igniting a raging fire.

"Where did the shells come from.

"Back, behind a clump!" , Following the staff officer's fingers, Yongshan seemed to feel that a sharp thorn had been pierced in his eyes, and he saw more than a dozen large iron boxes like train carriages slowly drilling out of the low woods in the distance.

Russian tanks?

In a few seconds, even Yongshan was a little stunned, because the intelligence never said that there were tanks in the Russian Far Eastern Theater, although the tanks on the opposite side were too large and "the size of a train car, but the tracks below, the front was constantly spewing out fire balls, and the slow moving speed all showed that there were more than a dozen tanks!"

At this time, there was no time to think about it, the ** armored regiment had spread to the north and south to deal with the Russian troops outflanked from both flanks, and the tank troops in front were covering the infantry charge, "so the only one close was Ma Dong's reconnaissance battalion."

"Follow me!"

After more than ten years of military career, Ma Dong was no longer an ordinary officer of the security team back then, and he instantly saw the threat of these Russian tanks, and without waiting for an order, he did not hesitate to rush forward with thirty Zhao Cheetahs and eight Wildcat armored vehicles from the reconnaissance battalion.

Sitting in the thickly armored Mendeleev tank, Major Boroni was a little proud, "In order to avoid the bombardment, he took fifteen Mendeleev to the outside of the city and hid in this grove, but he didn't expect it to become a lifesaver for the fortress at this time, 15 120mm guns have the power to tear anything apart, so after seeing the thirty 3 Cheetahs that pounced, he snorted coldly in his nose."

"Little cockroaches."

Major Boroni glanced contemptuously at the galloping tank group, "With his eyes, he could naturally see that those bladed millimeter guns were desperate and were not qualified to challenge themselves, and immediately roared angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze, continue to fire at the infantry in the direction of the fortress!" The gunners immediately gave up on the reconnaissance battalion, which was moving at a fast speed, and "fired at full speed in the direction of the fortress, and the violent shaking and smoke of gunpowder" set Mendeleev's tank on fire, but Major Boroni was particularly excited, because his shell again hit a Chinese tank under the fortress in the distance.

But that's also his smile after that.

"Call back!" After quickly closing to 1,300 meters, Ma Dong shouted violently, and as the sudden machine gun rang out again, the first tank battle in the Far East began.

The millimeter rapid-fire cannon on the Zhao Cheetah played a speed advantage, and the magazines in a group of five had just been beaten and loaded, but what made everyone dumbfounded was that thirty tanks and eight night cats fired hundreds of shells and shells, except for a series of sparks on the frontal armor, there were no wounds at all.

The dense shells made Mendeleev's frontal armor clang, and several gunners were so frightened that they squatted down, and Boroni was angry when he saw this situation: "Stupid ......, cough cough, goods, what are you still in a daze!" "Their cannons can't penetrate the armor, ahem, and they don't fire yet. ”

In the midst of Major Boroni's scolding, the Russian tank crew found that they could only hear the sound and not see the armor being pierced, and they were immediately relieved. atmosphere, again violently fired.

"Your mother!"

This scene made Ma Dong's eyes red, and when he saw that the battalion commander who had always pretended to be Sven began to scold his mother, the gunner could only shake his head with a wry smile: "Battalion commander, their armor is too thick." "Is it thick in front and thick on the side?" Ma Dong glared at the gunner fiercely and shouted: "Leave fifteen" aim at the porthole, suppress it with speed, don't let them aim easily, and the others will follow me.

At Ma Dong's shouting, fifteen 3 and 8 Wildcats quickly moved to Mendeleev's left flank, but when the machine guns whistled for a minute and ceased fire, he was dumbfounded.

Still haven't penetrated!

"Grass mud horse, what the is this made of!"

“。 Cannon! ”

In the face of these big guys who are like turtles who can't speak, Ma Dong has already made a fuss, suddenly ripped off his helmet and got out of the tank, pointed at Mendeleev in front of him, who was slowly turning around, and waved his hand at the wild cat carrying an 80mm recoilless gun next to him.

The two gunners quickly stuffed an armor-piercing shell into the chamber of the gun, twisted the muzzle of the gun to aim at the side of Mendeleev like a wall, and waited until the wild cat rushed closer to 500 meters, a hot flame burst out from the tail of the gun, only to see the side wall of Mendeleev that seemed to be impenetrable in the distance, and finally a hole was swept away.

But before everyone could be happy, the rotating machine gun turret and flank machine gun turret on top of the Mendeleev tank began to fire, and immediately the vicinity of the Wildcat was full of dust and smoke, and everyone had to retreat back.

"Battalion commander, let the bombers come." In the face of the seemingly unbeatable Mendeleev tank, the machine gunner even despaired, just saw a plane hovering in the sky, remembered the amazing scene of the bomb just bursting, and with the mentality of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, he suggested.

"Why didn't you say it earlier, and connect to the Air Force channel." Ma Dong had already torn off the disguise of a good battalion commander, grabbed the microphone as soon as he connected the communication, and shouted no matter whether the pilot could understand it or not.

His appearance has already made the tank crews cry and laugh, and the major of the reconnaissance battalion looks like a villain who has lost a fight with a blue nose and a swollen face, and has begun to call for helpers to find the scene!

However, he still has enough rogue helpers, and a storm attack plane that has been hovering in the sky for a long time got a request for support, and suddenly a bunch of joysticks, after making a big circle, rushed down with a roar, this superb thug probably felt that these iron boxes were indeed too arrogant, so they descended to 150 meters, whistling over the Mendeleev tank and dropping bombs. The 250-kilogram bomb made a wonderful parabola in the sky and got through the top of the Mendeleev tank, which was not much smaller than a train car.

Everyone only saw this super-heavy tank, which had just been covered with thick armor and made people hate toothaches, suddenly opened like a bulging balloon, and the broken steel plates even tore a big hole in the side armor of another Mendeleev dozens of meters away, and even a Zhao Cheetah 500 meters away was affected, and was directly cut off by a piece of shrapnel from the side.

The tank soldiers screamed indiscriminately, and instead of thanking the thugs, they scolded, is a tank without a machine gun still called a cheetah?

Call!

The tankmen rushed at the damaged Russian tank with a bunch of throttles, and before the Russian tankmen inside could escape, the synchronous machine guns with no loss of power began to swallow tongues of fire and beat them into a sieve.

After seeing the power of the aerial bomb, Ma Dong began to desperately summon the planes to help, and at the same time, the old 250 kg bomb made the second wave of attack planes return early, and at the same time, it also made Major Boroni seem to be thrown into a storm, and when he woke up from his coma, he found that he had been tied to the back of a 3 Cheetah tank, as if he had broken a burden.

After the big threat was eliminated, Nagayama finally breathed a sigh of relief, but more and more Russian soldiers pouring out of the fortress made him frown again, except for a few Mustang in charge of reconnaissance, there was no longer a single plane in the sky, and without the cover of the air force, the firepower of the Russian fortress that had disappeared for a long time was rampant again.

The infantry in front of them had also reached a critical moment, because the gap was blocked by stones and rubble, and the tanks could not rush directly into it, so a regiment could only provide fire suppression, watching the infantry rush inward like ants through the gap.

Just when Nagayama felt that there was a serious shortage of infantry, the earth seemed to shake in an instant, and he saw a black tide appear in the sky, rushing over at a rapid speed.

"Cavalry Division, the 1st Cavalry Division is here!"

Amid the cheers of the staff officers, Shen Hao ran to the armored command vehicle, laughed and saluted: "Brother Yongshan, we're not late, are we?" ”

"Just right." After Yongshan returned the salute, he couldn't help but be polite and said: "Just now the reconnaissance plane sent a message that three Russian infantry divisions forty kilometers away are coming quickly, you ——。 ”

Shen Haona didn't know what Yongshan meant, he was afraid that the cavalry would lose too much in the siege, so he smiled: "Brother Yongshan, don't worry, we are cavalry when we get on the horse, and infantry when we get off the horse!" ”

"Attack!"

Before Yongshan could reply, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves had already crossed the armored command vehicle, and a full 5,000 cavalrymen abandoned their beloved horses and swarmed through the gap torn by the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division.

With the addition of this new force, the gunfire in the Tomsk fortress became more and more concentrated, and both Yongshan and Shen Hao knew that if they could not take the outer defense points of the fortress in three hours, then the hundreds of thousands of Russian infantry who were rushing back would tear them to pieces.

The scramble has entered a critical moment.! ~！
