spn "General!"

In Rao Guohua's command tank of the 11th Mechanized Infantry Division in Ancient China, the signal soldier put down his earphones and said to Rao Guohua, "General, Commander Xu of the garrison area wants to talk to you.

"Yes." Rao Guohua took off the wired earphone hanging on the wall of the tank, put it on and said, "I am Rao Guohua... Yes, I understand!"

After a while, Rao Guohua put down his earphones with a smile on his face. If it weren't for the huge space in the tank, he probably would have waved his hand to express his excitement, but he still gave the order happily, "Order the entire division to speed up, and the target is called."

River."

Just now, the commander of the garrison area personally gave him an order to speed up and prepare to fight with a Soviet tank division that was about to arrive at the Sino-Soviet border.[

More detailed military information will be issued to the garrison area later. What needs to be done now is to arrive at the Hudaili fire line in front of the Soviet army, proactively choose the battlefield to face the enemy, and be prepared to wait for work.

With an order, the entire mechanized infantry division began to advance at full speed. After the 11th Division entered Elenge City, it was only thirty miles away from the front line of the Hudaili River, half the distance than the Soviets. The real march time,

The overall speed of the 11th Division is even faster.

"Lao Niu, how are the nearby herdsmen evacuating?"

At the Hudaili River frontline command post, Wang Zhengke, leader of the border defense regiment, asked after seeing political commissar Niushanhe walking in. Because the scale of the war is about to expand, the People's Army has been ordered to evacuate people in the northern area of ​​Hudaili County.

"Just now, the militia company commander of Hudaili County called and said that the northern areas closest to the border have been evacuated first, and the others are expected to be evacuated later tomorrow. This is because there are very few herdsmen in the northern area of ​​Hudaili.

The residences are concentrated and evacuation is very convenient.”

Niushanhe picked up the kettle on the stove in the house and poured a cup of tea. The brick tea unique to the ancient region has a strong flavor and is dry and refreshing.

"King Tuan, how is the position construction going?"

"There is no way to build it. We have used other methods. Let's go, I will take you to have a look." Wang Zhengke picked up the military cap on the wall, and Niu Shanhe led the guards out of the front.

"Oh, this scene is really lively, haha..."

When the two came to the Chinese side of the Hudaili River, the scene they saw was really lively. They saw that the river had been completely blown open. No tanks or people could pass through. The People's Army only deployed a small number of troops near the river.

The main force of the troops and the border defense regiment was placed on a five-kilometer-long Sino-Soviet land border zone.

The entire defensive area is about seven or eight kilometers long, on the ancient grassland of the Mingchuan River. It is actually not too far away. The defense line uses trucks from the border defense regiment as wartime support tools. It only takes a few minutes to go back and forth from east to west. This is the advantage of the prairie.

, even in winter, trucks equipped with anti-skid chains can still drive freely.

Of course, the flat terrain and ancient plains suitable for the rapid march of mechanized troops are also suitable for rapid enemy invasion. This is also an important reason why the People's Army deployed heavy troops in ancient areas to defend against the Soviets.

Just as the Chinese troops were able to rush into Siberia overnight, the Soviets could also rush into the ancient hinterland overnight without resistance.

The entire Hudaili position was a lively scene. Several military trucks dragging water pumps were taking cold water from the Hudaili River. The thick ice was blasted through and the ice water hidden underneath was released.

Carloads of ice water were quickly poured out of the river and then quickly transported to the position.

On the other side, thousands of People's Army soldiers were collecting a large amount of ice and snow, and quickly piled up a snow wall several kilometers long. The snow wall was more than one meter high. With the large number of soldiers and the snow everywhere,

Soon a long wall of snow was built.

Then the truck pulled the icy river water, poured it all the way, and quickly poured the water on the ice wall.

In just ten minutes, the snow wall poured with water quickly solidified into an ice wall. In the more complicated fortification section, the engineers also built gun emplacements to place the regiment's cannons, anti-tank guns, and even high-altitude guns.

gun.

"At this rate, when the 11th Division arrives, we will be able to provide a more stable forward base. We still have to pay attention to the issue of air defense. The snow stopped in the afternoon, and the Soviet planes are coming soon. We can't make things worse.

Throw it all to the Air Force." Lieutenant Colonel Wang Zhengke knew that as the weather cleared in the afternoon, the battle had just begun. The Soviets had a large number of aircraft stationed in the Kyaktu area. Although they were all old models, they were still fighter aircraft.

.

"Well, I see that several anti-aircraft artillery positions and high-altitude machine gun positions are well built. If they are only responsible for some low-intensity air defense tasks, it is still enough."[

What is more regrettable is that in this icy and snowy prairie, it is impossible to quickly build anti-artillery. The only way to fight against the Soviets is to rely on Cullen's air force.

"Report to the regimental commander, the leading troops of the 11th Division have arrived."

"Huh? So fast. Let's go, Lao Niu, to meet General Rao Guohua."

From time to time, at the Hudaili River frontline headquarters, Wang Zhengke and Niushanhe saw Major General Rao Guohua, commander of the 11th Mechanized Infantry Division, who had arrived with a large force.

"salute!"

"You have worked hard. How is the situation now?" Rao Guohua returned a military salute and then asked. The latest enemy situation has just been issued in the security area. In addition to defending the front line of Hudaili, the most important task of the mechanized division is to kill

The Soviets were about to come up with a tank division.

"The situation on the Hudaili front line is currently relatively stable. The herdsmen have been moved to the southern part of the county. During this period, a few Bolsheviks were making trouble and were dealt with. Reinforcements from the Soviet Red Army on the opposite side also arrived, about one regiment.

They did not launch a hasty attack, and were probably waiting for the air force and the tank division behind them.

Judging from the Soviets' marching speed, their other three ordinary divisions will not arrive until noon tomorrow. Our opponents today will mainly be the Soviet air force and tank divisions."

Lieutenant Colonel Wang Zhengke briefly explained the current situation.

Rao Guohua nodded. He had an infantry regiment, an artillery regiment and other auxiliary combat units under him that could be put into defensive operations. The strengthened tank regiment would directly collide with the enemy's tank division.

"The command and operations of the infantry will be in charge of Colonel Wei Guoli, the deputy commander of the 11th Division, with Commander Wang as his deputy." Rao Guohua wanted to devote all his strength to the tank battle and leave the defensive operations of the infantry to the deputy division commander.

and Wang Zhengke.

"Yes!" Wei Guoli and Wang Zhengke stood at attention and saluted. **Updated fastest**

Subsequently, the Chief of Staff of the 11th Division began to lead the staff to lay out detailed combat plans, including infantry defensive operations, tank operations, and anti-tank operations. Building more fortifications was one of the key points.

With the war approaching, Rao Guohua stepped out of the front and began to check the preparations of the troops.

"Currently, the conditions of each tank company are similar. They need to replenish fuel and are still overhauling the machines. The Tiger 2 has traveled more than 100 kilometers in this kind of ice and snow, and there are no more than five tanks lying down. It can be considered that it has withstood the test."

Zuo Quan, deputy commander of the 11th Division, was responsible for troop equipment and marching. There were 51 tanks in the entire division, 46 of which could participate in the battle, and the remaining five were lying on the ground halfway.

Rao Guohua didn't care much about the five tanks lying in the ground. In the harsh winter outside, even the Tiger II tanks had a high rate of lying in the ground during the march, let alone the Soviet T26 and BT17. These two tanks

The failure rate of forced marches in ice and snow is frighteningly high.

According to his estimates, the Soviet tank division may have more than a hundred tanks at full strength, but it is still unknown whether it is full, and even if it is full, at least a considerable part of the Soviet tank division will have to lie down on the road during a forced march in such snowy conditions.

Standing in front of the powerful Tiger 2, Rao Guohua lamented that although the number of Chinese tanks is not as large as that of the Soviets, in terms of advanced level, they are at least three to four years better than the Soviets' main tanks.

Even if the Soviet Union's tanks were rapidly innovated due to the catalyst of the war, it would still take quite some time to catch up with China's Tiger 2.

At this time, the updated Tiger 3 will also be deployed into the troops, with more powerful firepower, stronger tank engines, thicker armor, and stronger comprehensive combat effectiveness.

From Rao Guohua's point of view, the People's Army seems to have never lacked advanced weapons. It only has limited equipment in order to comprehensively build this once very backward country. However, once war is needed, this country that has been downplayed by the world will burst out with super combat power.

.

Rao Guohua is not worried about the upcoming battle.[

In addition to its maneuverability and powerful engine, the Tiger II tank's biggest advantage is its ferocious firepower. The 71-caliber 85mm tank gun can penetrate almost all main battle tanks in the world, and even the heavy tanks that the perverted Germans are about to produce.

, even at a certain distance, it can't withstand a direct hit from its cannon.

It has low manufacturing cost, thick armor, strong maneuverability, low failure rate, and fierce firepower. It can be said that the Tiger 2 is already a very mature main battle tank. With a total weight of 35 tons, from all aspects, it is completely

Have the strength to become the ace of medium tanks around the world.

On the other hand, the Soviets' T26 and BT7, although not too backward in the world, are far behind the Tiger 2 tank. After all, the Soviets are not as dedicated to the development of tanks as Britain, Germany and France.

, ever since Zhang Shusheng gave the tank blueprints to the Germans, tank development has been faster than that of the Soviets.

And what about the Soviets? Even the prototype of the bt7 is still an American tank.

At present, the two main tanks of the Soviet Union have weak armor and only 35mm and 45mm tank guns respectively. They appear very weak in front of the Tiger 2.

All this is due to the fact that the Soviet Union has not experienced a large-scale war yet and has been a little slow in the development of tanks. Although they may quickly develop their own tanks after the outbreak of World War II, at present, they blindly rely on the number of Soviet Red Army tank units.

It will be up to China's armored forces to teach them a lesson.

Although quantity sometimes represents advantage, it can also represent garbage.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the air forces of both sides had not yet appeared over the battlefield, but the Soviet tank divisions had arrived.

On the Chinese side of the border, there was the 11th Division's tank reinforcement regiment, which had been prepared for a long time and was just waiting for the order to attack.

Don't play your cards according to common sense. If you want to fight, beat the Soviets badly. This is the order of the military headquarters forwarded from the garrison area.

Rao Guohua coughed twice, signaled the communications staff to turn on the command radio, and into the phone, he began to say, "Brothers of the Tank Regiment of the 11th Mechanized Infantry Division, I am Rao Guohua.

Raising troops for a thousand days, using them for a while. The value of the existence of soldiers is to protect the homeland and expand the territory. They have been waiting for the enemy for many years in order to be able to step out and protect China when the country is in trouble and the nation is in trouble.

Thirty years ago, fifty years ago, a hundred years ago, we in China were poor and weak. There were the British, the Dutch, the Portuguese, the Eight-Power Allied Forces, the Russians, the Japanese, and too many imperialists.

The great powers have cut us off again and again

At that time, we did not have guns or cannons, but only machetes and spears. However, although the martyrs who resisted failed, they tried their best with weapons far inferior to those of the great powers.

It's not that they don't resist, it's that the country is too weak and the army is too weak.

More than ten years ago, General Xu Shuzheng was here to fight back the Soviet conspiracy to split the country. Today, we are fortunate to be a member of the protector of the country. We have more advanced equipment, a stronger country, and a stronger country.

Soldiers, talented people have emerged from generation to generation. Today, let us participate in changing history.

Now I order, start your tanks, counterattack against the Soviet Union, let our tanks charge towards the Soviet Union! Charge! Charge!! Armored troops of the Chinese Empire, advance!!"

On the other side, the Soviet tank division has just arrived.

"Welcome, General Pavlov."
