Fengxian Jiangshan

All the tanks and armored vehicles, plus fifty trucks, constitute the most advantageous assault iron fist of the Feng army.As for the other main forces of the First Division, Zhang Henian and Wu Kaijie personally led them. Apart from more than 200 trucks for transporting supplies, their main means of transportation was bicycles.

Bicycles in later generations are very common things, but in history, bicycles have played an important role in the military field.Various countries generally use bicycles to increase the maneuvering speed of infantry.During World War II, Yamashita Fufumi, known as the Tiger of Malays, even swept across the Malay Peninsula by bicycle, scaring the British.

Fengjun was able to mass-produce bicycles two years ago. At first, everyone didn't realize the military value of this two-wheeled thing, but Zhang Tinglan had already ordered Fengjun soldiers to learn Riding a bicycle, but also engaged in several cross-country bicycle competitions.

Up to now, the value of the bicycle is perfectly reflected.Zhang Henian and Wu Kaijie were also riding bicycles like ordinary soldiers.On the basket and rack of the bicycle, there are dry food, water, bullets and grenades.There are sapper shovels, tents and things like that.

A bicycle can seat only one person.You can also carry forty or fifty kilograms of things.Not too much effort.In particular, the terrain in the Far East is relatively flat, which is very suitable for bicycle mobility.

Facing the wind along the way is much more comfortable than marching on your feet. More than 8000 bicycles formed a magnificent and huge team, followed closely behind the armored troops, and quickly rushed to the flanks of the Russian positions.

"Old Wu. The method you came up with is not bad, and it is indeed a lot easier."

"That's natural!" Wu Kaijie said with a smile: "Sometimes when encountering special terrain, even war horses can't get through, but soldiers can carry bicycles. When I was chasing the Mongolian bandits, I tried to use small bicycles to detour. Sneak attack, the effect is very good, otherwise how dare you boast in front of the commander!"

When Zhang Henian heard it, he also smiled and said, "Speaking of which, we only have one thing that is uneconomical, and that is to follow their tank troops and eat a mouthful of sand!"

After a whole morning, they ran about [-] kilometers, and finally when it was time to rest, all the soldiers jumped out of the car to move their sore and numb limbs.Cycling for a long time makes everyone feel like their ass is about to split, but everyone doesn't care about rest.

They are all checking the mounts that I love and hate. If there is a problem, I will fix it immediately. If the weld is loose, it needs to be re-welded. If the tire has a problem, it must be replaced immediately. Add a little oil to ensure that the bicycle can run smoothly, and there are still nearly half of the road waiting for them.

After gnawing a few mouthfuls of dry food hastily, the huge team mobilized again, but the following road was not as comfortable as before. Along the way, they encountered many rivers in succession. Being able to carry a bicycle and wading across the river, everyone was covered in muddy water and embarrassed.

At this time, Zhang Henian and Wu Kaijie were all taking the lead, just like ordinary soldiers, holding heavy bicycles and wading through the muddy river.Sweat and mud were mixed together, but they didn't complain, they just gritted their teeth silently and followed, and they must not fall behind.

Just when the sun was just westward, Wu Kaijie suddenly said: "Did you hear the New Year? There was an explosion in the distance. I guess it was probably an aerial bomb. It seems that our Air Force brothers are really doing their best!"

Zhang Henian also said: "That's right, we marched hard all day, the air force is probably worse than us, and they are constantly attacking all day long! Let the brothers get ready, the air force helped us win the first, and then we will see It's up to me!"

Just as Zhang Henian and the others were making preparations, the armored troops had already exchanged fire with the Russians five kilometers before.Zhang Tingshu led the armored troops to take the lead and appeared in front of the Russians.

These defending Russian troops were suddenly frightened, they never expected that Feng Jun would suddenly appear from this angle.In the previous deployment, Budyonny focused on Aginskoye. After he saw that Fengjun's first priority was to allow the two troops to completely join forces and grasp the railway line before they could attack the Red Army. tower.

Because of this, Budyonny focused his defense on the front. Between Chita and the front line, all the second-line troops were sent.At this time, Zhang Tingshu and the others suddenly appeared, and steel monsters rushed out of the dust that covered the sky and the sun. The roar of the motor and the roar of the shells were intertwined together, forming the note of death.

Against the background of the setting sun, those tanks were coated with a layer of golden light, more like a group of beasts with teeth and claws.The Russians suddenly fell into a panic. During the whole day of bombing, the telegraph lines and headquarters of the Russian army were attacked, and the communication had not been restored, so the combat order was not smooth.

Faced with such a group of dazed lambs, Zhang Tingshu certainly didn't show any politeness. Dozens of tanks frantically poured into the Russian army's position, crushing all the original fortifications.Their attack speed is getting faster and faster, and they are becoming more and more unscrupulous.

The muzzle was aimed at the fortresses of the Russian army, and they were called one by one, and they were all blown up into the sky. The soldiers who still wanted to resist were shot and killed mercilessly, turning into broken corpses.

Rolling over these corpses, they rushed in. As they advanced, the resistance of the Russians became stronger and stronger. More and more Russian soldiers rushed towards the tanks with explosive packs and grenades.

chug chug... chug chug...

The dense bullets of the submachine guns shot at them. In Fengjun's personnel carrier and truck, there was a total of elite soldiers from a reinforced battalion. They all used submachine guns. When they were 500 meters away from the battlefield, they all got out of the vehicle. They followed the back of the tank and rushed in together.

All the counterattacks launched by the Russians were thwarted by them. The brave and fearless Russians became the best targets, and they were killed one after another. They couldn't even slow down the advance of tanks.

Budyonny, who was on the front line, got the report just after the Fengjun armored forces launched a fierce attack. The bearded man was stunned and endured a day of bombing, which did not make him lose confidence. But after getting the news, He was completely dumbfounded.

Not only him, but all members of the Russian Army Command felt a feeling of suffocation, as if their throats were being choked.And the fact is the same, Fengjun avoids the reality, bypasses the solid defense front, but attacks the weak joint of the Russians. Once this is breached, the connection between Chita and Akinskoye will be lost. They fell into siege.

Political commissar Voroshilov said with a solemn face, "Comrade Budyonny, hurry up and send an order to send troops to help, there is no need to hesitate any longer!"

"Well." Budyonny reluctantly nodded: "The Chinese armored force is their greatest reliance and the most powerful force in combat. We must also send the most powerful force to deal with them. The third division and the Far East Guerrilla Brigade Immediately return to aid, and draw another division from Chita to attack from two directions together, we must keep the railway line and drive the Chinese out!"

Although the Russian army issued a combat order, they had already lost the opportunity. Within two hours of the start of the battle, the Feng army had rushed to a depth of about five kilometers. If it was purely infantry combat, it would be considered very good to be able to break into these places in one day. That's right, the Russian line of defense was torn open a hideous hole.

Zhang Tingshu felt very at ease, the battle went so smoothly, it was like chopping melons and vegetables, the Russians were completely powerless to resist.If the Feng army had more tanks and sufficient logistics vehicles, he could even break through all the defense lines with confidence.

It's just that at this time Fengjun is still unable to do that, and as night falls, the Russians have stabilized a little, and their counterattack has also launched.In the dark, the huge body of the tank does not have much advantage. On the contrary, it is easier for Russian soldiers to attack covertly.

All the soldiers of the reinforced battalion were protected around the armored vehicle, guarding against the surprise attack of the Russians. The gunshots kept ringing, and the Russian soldiers who attacked were knocked out one by one.

But Feng Jun couldn't be perfect. There was a loud bang, a tank billowed with smoke, and two soldiers just rolled out, and there was a loud bang, and the tank exploded, and the flames shot up into the sky. Zhang Tingshu heard it. With such a sound, I also felt bad in my heart.

Chapter 585 Encirclement

In the darkness, there are Russian troops everywhere, they flock to the armored forces like the tide, and the night is their best weapon.Boom, boom, tanks are constantly being injured, the commando soldiers are exhausted, and there is not much ammunition left.

At this time, a large number of torches finally appeared in the distance. Zhang Henian and the others finally caught up on their bicycles. All the soldiers of the first regiment dropped their bicycles first, and quickly rushed in along the gap according to the battle formation.

Zhang Henian hurriedly commanded the car and sent all the towed artillery to the front line. Heavy artillery was set up and aimed at the Russian positions.Although the armored troops are sharp, they don't have large-caliber artillery after all, and they are still powerless against special fortresses, but the addition of heavy artillery is completely different.

Although everyone's limbs became stiff after riding a bicycle for a day, everyone knew that the battle was urgent, and everyone ignored their fatigue and hurriedly set up artillery positions, and the shells hit the Russians one after another.

The shells exploded in the dark night, a violent flame, more charming than the most dazzling fireworks, but every spark burns life. Messy.

At this time, Zhou Zijian led the first regiment and rushed to the vicinity of the tank group. Zhang Tingshu, who was in a hard fight, saw that the backup finally followed him, and he was also overjoyed.

With Zhou Zijian's help, the Russians were quickly dispersed. Zhang Tingshu got out of the tank and found Zhou Zijian in a hurry.

"Commander Zhou, have the follow-up troops followed up?"

Zhou Zijian wiped the blood that fell on his face, panted and said, "I've followed, what should I do next?"

"Of course it is to expand the results of the battle!" Zhang Tingshu said hastily: "I calculated that the depth of the Russian position is less than ten kilometers, and we have penetrated more than half of it. If we cannot penetrate the defense line tonight, we will fall into Russia. Under the three-sided siege of the people, I am afraid that by that time, we will be in big trouble!"

While he was talking, Zhang Henian led the follow-up troops to rush over. He also agreed with Zhang Tingshu's opinion.

"I also agree, but we haven't practiced the large-scale night battle of the armored forces yet, so I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"The battlefield is changing rapidly. If everything can be prepared in advance, why use us commanders." Zhang Tingshu said confidently: "We are not prepared, and the Russians are even less prepared. The victory is definitely ours!"

Zhang Henian also laughed loudly: "Second Young Master has pride, let the brothers rest immediately. After two hours, continue to attack."

Although it is a two-hour break.But only a few can rest.All battle tanks are replenished with ammunition and fuel.Damaged tanks also need to be repaired. The main damage to these tanks is the tracks, and dismantling the track shoes is one of the hardest tasks for the tank soldiers. After a while, there are clanging sounds everywhere, and the tank soldiers are turning the iron wheels. Hammer, repair the track shoes one by one.

Others are not idle either.They also have tasks. Since they are interspersed, they must be prepared to face a double attack. All soldiers are eating dry food at the same time.Quickly clear the trenches.

The trenches of the Russians are all along the road, the purpose is to block the attack from the outside, while the Fengjun has to build fortifications horizontally to block the Russians who are killed at both ends.When both military strength and firepower are likely to be in a weak position, a complete defense system is the best helper for everyone to survive, so no one dares to carry it when digging fortifications.

Digging up the hard ground, the soldiers were like gophers, quickly digging trenches and anti-gun holes, carefully building one after another firepower points.

According to the plan formulated by Zhang Henian and the others in advance, the entire fortification is oval-shaped to resist incoming enemies from both sides at the same time.

Wu Kaijie jumped into the trench himself, wielding an engineering shovel, and digging with the soldiers. His speed was not slower than that of ordinary soldiers, but he continued to direct while digging.

"Brothers, every 30 meters, there must be a large and medium-sized anti-aircraft hole, and there must be at least five meters of land on it. Only this thick can block the Russian heavy artillery. At this time, it is almost, just a few The difference between life and death, no one can slack off!"

The soldiers focused on digging the fortifications. Zhang Henian and Zhang Tingshu sat together and studied the map carefully.

"Two kilometers ahead, it happens to be a railway bridge. The Siberian Railway passes here. The scouts have already explored it. The air force bombed it several times during the day, but it was a pity that it was unsuccessful. Let's work harder and clear the bridge soon." Take it!" Zhang Tingshu said confidently.

Zhang Henian also strongly agreed: "Leave the matter of blowing up the bridge to us. The tank troops dispersed the surrounding Russian soldiers, and then our engineers immediately followed and blew up the bridge."

After discussing it properly, they also took a few bites of the hard dry food, and Zhang Tingshu got into the tank again, and the giant steel beast that started up again let out a rumbling roar.At night, the roar of the tank can be heard far away, and the Russians have just tasted the sharp attack of the tank. When they hear this sound, all the Russians feel like their souls are broken.
