978 The Great Battle of the Far East (15) Breakthrough

January 20, 1941, the Little New Year of the Lunar New Year.

110 kilometers southwest of the Soviet Far Eastern Front Command, outside the small town of Gusino Ozelsk on the shore of Lake Noye, in a vast field that was pushed out between snow fields, countless tanks and armored vehicles were arranged in neat arrays. Each chariot had been launched for a while, with thick black smoke coming out of the tail and emitting heat from different thicknesses. From a distance, the entire array looked like a prehistoric giant beast group waiting for an opportunity to move from the fog, and a creepy murderous aura spread in the air!

In the middle of the array, inside a command vehicle with an extremely large head and thicker armor, Chen Changjie, the commander of the 61st Army, raised his wrist again to look at the electronic military watch specially made for the northern battlefield. It showed that it was already seven o'clock in the morning, but it was still dark outside, as if the night had not left.

"Why haven't you started yet?"

Chen Changjie muttered in a low voice, frowned and subconsciously reached his hand to the phone beside him, but when the middle finger just touched it, he suddenly stopped, took a deep breath, and slowly withdrew it, shook his head and smiled with a self-deprecating smile: "It seems that I still can't practice my qi cultivation skills! I can't help it for just a little time. No wonder Chief Fu wants to send me to the front line to lead the troops."

At present, he is not only a commander, but also serves as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Sixth Army. He directly controls three mechanized infantry divisions, one independent armored cavalry brigade and two independent artillery regiments. His status and equipment in the northern legion are second only to the 35th Army, which is a confidant. What is worse is only a little bit.

According to general principles, he did not need to go to the front line by himself. There were nearly 100,000 people and countless officers below, enough to implement his various wills and orders. However, after several senior military command training courses at Guzhenkou, the final assessment and the judgment of the superiors, his ability to control the overall situation was not met. If he wanted to gain a foothold in the entire army and develop, he had to mature and grow as soon as possible in frontal battles.

Chief Fu's expectation for him was to become the first commander in the entire Northern Army - the Sixth and Seventh Army, who could command millions of troops to sweep the battlefield. The first step was to be able to control the modern forces of at least one army. He galloped across the deep battlefield of enemy countries, which could be thousands of kilometers long, and conquered and killed.

This made Chen Changjie feel extremely stressed.

These soldiers who came from the old generation of military officers' schools were out of the blue at all levels of fundamental ideas, strategies and tactics. Just commanding a division of ten thousand people to fight on a small battlefield, he performed very well. In the battle against Japan that regained the Northeast, his level of performance was second only to the army of Yu Baoguo, the direct descendants of Zhu Bin.

However, the battle against the northern Russians was completely upgraded to a geometric level than Japan.

This is not only a small-scale, flexible and maneuverable breakthrough in mountains and forests, but also a high-speed synthetic and suppression of fine equipment and high-speed synthesis of high-speed anti-stops. It is not a poor man like the Japanese army who is reluctant to take too much bullets, but a powerful Soviet Russia, ranked second in the world in industrial productivity!

The number of ammunition delivered by the enemy, the equipment of firearms and cannons is at least five times that of the Japanese army. The breadth of the battlefield is dozens of times, and the harshness of the environment is several times and ten times. The most different is the huge change in the combat mode. As a senior commander, he must have the ability to integrate one or two hundred thousand mechanized forces and make a flexible and maneuverable rapid progress on a vast battlefield with a diameter of hundreds or thousands of kilometers.

As these conditions add up, the high personal quality and military cultivation required can be said to be a huge change!

Although Zhu Bin's hard-core direct descendants are all students, workers and passionate young people who are generally literate, their cross-age training conditions are too awesome. From the very beginning, they have instilled and used simulated environmental practice to those people based on large-scale strategic command capabilities under high-tech conditions. For nearly ten years of continuous training and training lessons. In practical exercises, the ability of those people is already beyond the reach of most generals in the world today.

Chen Changjie was proud of his background and felt that he was a rare talent, not weaker than those boys who became monks halfway through. But when he really started working on the front line, he realized that it was not something that could be solved by having confidence!

Faced with this situation, Chief Fu Zuoyi gave him a simple suggestion: "Go to the front line to command the battle, put yourself completely on the battlefield, learn in battle, and grow the fastest."

Chen Changjie simply put his military fingers in the battle formation that was about to advance and acted together.

But today will be the day when at least 500,000 first-line troops and 500,000 second-tier troops will jointly launch a general attack on the entire thousands of miles of front. His 100,000 people are just one of the sharp edges and must wait for the arrival of the general signal.

The crisp and pleasant reminder of "Didi" suddenly came from the watch, and Chen Changjie was shocked. When he saw that it was the agreed 7:5. Almost at the same time, three red signal flares rose in succession in the gray sky outside!

Chen Changjie opened his eyes and blurted out: "The general attack has officially begun! I order all the 61st Army troops to advance!"

"go ahead!"

Radio waves spread throughout the vast and cold northern border. Among the two important military cities of Gusino Ozelsk and Petrovsk, which are more than 150 kilometers apart, the 69th and 72nd divisions under the 61st Army were mobilized together.

In front of them, the 7th Independent Armored Cavalry Brigade and the independent tank regiment directly under the army, each of which acted as a sharp edge, activated hundreds of various armored machinery, and the rumbling sound of engines and clanging tracks colliding sounded in an instant!

In the camp where Chen Changjie was located, the densely packed light and heavy tanks of the 7th Tank Brigade sprayed out thick smoke. The battalion was equipped with infantry fighting vehicles and self-propelled artillery, forming a fist power of hundreds of combat units as clusters, and rushed straight forward about thirty kilometers away. The front of the fortifications built by the Soviet army more than a year in advance!

In the mountains on the east side about fifteen kilometers away from here, the heavy artillery of the 21st Regiment of the direct artillery was completely tore off its camouflage, and just two minutes after the tank crew was operating, it opened fire violently!

Three artillery battalions, 18 105mm cannons, eighteen 152mm howitzers, and 18 32-barrel 122mm rocket launchers exploded together with powerful forces that were only one level away from the main force of the Zhu family army, and in an instant hundreds of powerful shells poured out into the enemy line in the distance!

Directly ahead, lined across the passage less than five kilometers wide, the Soviet army's seven or eight rows of trenches were filled with thunder-like whistling sounds!

The reconnaissance post set up on the top of the left wing hill was heard first through the monitoring loudspeaker. He quickly grabbed the phone and shouted in a loud voice: "Enemy attack! Bombardment! Bombardment!"

A shrill alarm sounded immediately on the defense line of the Russians. The Maoist officer from top to bottom waved his pistol and shouted: "Hurry up! Hurry up and enter the position! Bastard, the damn Chinese devils are coming! We must block them!"

Although there is still eighty kilometers of deep defense line behind, everyone knows that in the era of mechanized combat, the safety of this distance is similar to a layer of window paper. The more rare snowflakes in the sky are, it can be foreseen that in the daylight after they are completely lit, there will be enemy fighter jets. The entire war zone will no longer have a safe place, and entering the bunker fortifications to resist is the only way out!

Obviously, the Russians guessed it right!

The first round of 18 152mm grenades arrived directly without even passing the school fire. They exploded violently at a low altitude of dozens of meters that were about to fall to the ground. Thousands of killing fragments swept across the position unscrupulously. They immediately ran out of the anti-cannon shelter, and the Russian soldiers who had not had time to enter the trench killed and injured a large area!

The next moment, the 105mm armor-piercing bomb with a very high firing rate swept across! Its carefully designed deep drill warhead suddenly fell at a nearly vertical angle after flying to the highest point. With the help of the kinetic energy of the end of the supersonic speed, it pierced into the hard frozen soil, or deep in the thick fortification bunker built by the Russians!

The violent explosion rumbling from the ground, which was as shallow as three meters and as deep as four or five meters, was dull, and the earth shook violently. The structure of each trench and every anti-aircraft shelter vibrated and shook the dust, which made the chests of soldiers hiding inside swollen and their hearts beat in a mess.

Although it is just a 105mm shell, it is practical for all countries to be doped with expensive heavy metals such as tungsten alloys, and the weight is twice that of conventional shells. The power of the loaded high-explosion mixed explosives is also greater than that of killer grenades of the same caliber. Once it drills into the bunker, the impact explosion downward and forward will be three meters of concrete or stone log fortresses. It can also penetrate! It is a bunch of large-caliber armor-piercing bombs!

The high-density and high-fire speed Yishuier armor-piercing bombs were mixed in 152mm grenades. With the help of extremely advanced artillery aiming accurately at the previous satellite reconnaissance, the main targets captured by the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft were shot at at a low altitude. After several shots, semi-submersible bunkers were blasted away, and dozens of Russians hid inside screamed in the explosion, killing and injured!

This round of strikes is not aimless.

The project of building a long line of defense began two years ago. In order to ensure concealment, the troops took dozens of kilometers of alert before construction, and tried to choose places covered by dense forests, and even worked at night to prevent the target from being exposed.

But they never thought that the opponents on the other side had big killing weapons such as military reconnaissance satellites. Whether day or night, the terrain and map changes caused by their construction were accurately marked. A year ago, they were scanned by technical means such as low-altitude thermal sensing detection of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to determine the existence of their artificial buildings.

Even if these buildings are extremely concealed, they can't last long without the accuracy of the attacking artillery fire that can be locked in a radius of 10 meters!

A series of shells penetrated into the strongholds without hesitation. Even if they resisted the first and second rounds, they could not withstand the seven or eight rounds behind them, with almost endless violent blows!

The Russian soldiers hid inside and thought they were safe, watched the building structure above being blown away by one round of attacking armor-piercing bullets, and finally screamed in despair! Some smart people ran out of the inside without hesitation and hid in the trenches. Even if they could be cut to death by shrapnel flying unscrupulously in the air, it would be better than waiting for the arrival of death minute by minute!

Too vicious! Too hateful! Too unreasonable!

The commander of the Second Russian Army, who was slightly behind a line of defense, roared loudly after hearing the screaming report from the observation post in front of him: "How is it possible?! How did the Chinese know the coordinates of our fortifications? How did their shells shoot so accurately?! This is simply a joke!"

Is it a joke? God wouldn't tell him that the great Marxism-Leninism cannot be used to deduce it with theory, because no one has ever heard of it. He can actually hit the shells so accurately across more than ten kilometers!

This is the beginning!

Just after the cannon bombardment ten minutes, the rocket launcher finally began! A total of 576 launch tubes squirted out dazzling flames in a steady and orderly manner, and 122 rockets shot out into the sky with a scattered scream. The continuous light formed by the fire of all the cannon cars, even drew a long bridge of more than ten kilometers in the sky! Looking at it on a gray winter night morning, it was spectacular!

Soon, groups of rockets exploded on the raging front! At the high speed that was triggered to the extreme, the bullet body drew a beautiful arc and dived to a low altitude. Then, one powerful and despicable cloud bomb was shining with a bang!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The terrifying cloud bomb, which is seven or eight times more powerful than the large-caliber shell, formed a mass of terrifying small mushroom clouds, with the ends facing the ground, each of which is about two hundred meters apart, and it was like mushrooms after the rain, raging wildly on a position that is only five kilometers wide!

The positions sandwiched between the two sides of the mountains were almost exhausted at once! Those hidden in the dense forest, behind the rocks, firepower points on the hills, combat artillery positions, machine gun fortresses, and hidden soldiers were lifted up in the previous artillery bombardment and opened the roof. All anti-aircraft artillery, chemical protection sealing and unobstructed facilities were all damaged. Suddenly, they encountered a large killing weapon that specifically killed and had biological forces, which had no defense ability at all!

Thousands of Russians were surrounded by the open fortifications, relying on solid fortifications that could withstand large-scale long-term shelling, but they never expected that such a terrible thing would come!

The clusters were accurately calculated and set, and the landing points evenly wrapped around the rockets of each key point marked by the reconnaissance. At the same time, the oxygen in narrow areas with a radius of 100 meters was evacuated. The air was overheated, and the thick snow and ice accumulated on the ground were immediately vaporized and evaporated. It was also triggered by the subsequent falling cloud bomb, causing a thousand times of violent expansion, forming a terrible low-altitude detonation!

The ground above 30 degrees below zero immediately turned into a steamer of more than 100 degrees! Tens of millions of tons of high-temperature steam triggered by the cloud explosion bomb were sweeping and permeating every inch of space. Whether it was in the bombed fortifications or in the intact fortifications, even the holes covered by collapsed trees and crushed stones were lucky enough to change a world in a flash!

No matter how tough the will of the Russians are, they are still flesh and blood! No matter how much vodka they drink or how encouraging they are, there is no second manifestation except screaming!

He was placed with high hopes and once thought that with these fortifications alone, the Russians who could block the frontal attack for at least ten days and half a month, watched as they were swept open several defense lines several kilometers deep in less than half an hour!

Under the joint bombing of multiple shells within half an hour, the strongest fortifications were almost completely destroyed. On the contrary, the trenches that had just been hastily built recently, swaying on the flat ground, were unexpectedly not killed much. The soldiers who rushed in were basically intact, but seeing the hiding places around them were completely destroyed, the Russians thought in despair that even if the other party did not rush up to attack, they could freeze them all to death here in just one night!

The roar of rumbling shells began to extend forward. In the valley filled with boiling water vapor and thick smoke, the vibrations like a ground dragon's traveling quickly came. Tiger main battle tanks, with huge shovels in front of them, emerged from the inside with a fierce look, and pressed close to the front of the trench, and more than a dozen wide snow walls were driven out.

The frozen snow-covered more than one meter was squeezed into three or four meters high and extended forward from the rear. The rest were crushed into a flat road, which turned the previously inaccessible ground into a smooth road.

Large areas of primeval forest were destroyed. Behind the opening passage, groups of cheetah tanks and infantry fighting chariots were nimble, and the synchronized artillery fired continuously to protect the big guys who were opening the road in front.

On the road ahead, obstacles piled up with logs, anti-tank trenches opened with excavators, and even destructive pits bombarded with explosives, were easily handled by the Tiger Tank wreck truck without exception. Push what should be pushed and fill what should be filled, like a broken bamboo, like entering a no-man's land!

In the battlefield ahead, the fire walls were slowly advancing, like a huge rock mechanism blocking the corridor, squeezing the Russian commander's neck one meter away, making him unable to help but have a desperate thought - here, I can't hold it anymore!

It’s not just this one that can’t be kept!

Just on the other battlefield under the command of Chen Changjie, among the northern mountains of Petrovsk, several defense lines stuck in the narrow valley were also bombarded one after another! The same configuration of an artillery regiment, the same precision strike mode of armor-piercing bombs, killer grenades and cloud-explosive bombs, in less than an hour, more than 100 fortifications within twenty kilometers were completely destroyed!
