Chapter 120
An armored reconnaissance unit from the 5th Mechanized Corps appeared near the village of Zanova on the border.
In addition to two fast BT-2 fast tanks, there were 3 wheeled armored reconnaissance vehicles.
Their main task is to open the way for the main forces in the rear.
Detect the enemy situation in front and at the same time avoid a sneak attack on the main forces.
Commander Grien leaned out of the turret.
At the same time, he held a pair of binoculars in his hand and scanned the surroundings.
"Ahead is a small low hill, cross over!"
Under his command.
The BT-2 fast tank took the lead, and the engine roared towards the small hill no more than a few meters high.
With its power, it easily climbed this small slope.
Just when they had just crossed the hills, of course.
An accident happened.
I saw less than 100 meters in front of them.
Two turrets with the Northeast Army flag on them appeared in front of them.
These two tanks are completely different from the T-34, and the IS-3 is the two main tanks.
Instead, it was subordinate to a tank squad of the armored reconnaissance battalion of the 3rd Panzer Division.
The tanks equipped by this reconnaissance battalion are the M24 flying light tanks that appeared on the battlefield only in the late World War II.
The main task of the armored reconnaissance battalion of the division is to act as a forward.
Rush to the front to obtain intelligence for the main forces.
So first of all, you need to be fast and maneuverable.
This way, at least when discovered, you can run past each other.
The T-34 tank's maximum road speed is only 45 yards per hour.
So at this time, a light Tan is needed to play this role.
The most advanced light M24 Xiafei of World War II played this role.
It can reach a maximum off-road speed of 40 yards per hour.
And this thing has thick armor and fierce firepower.
The weight alone reached 18.3 tons.
Armament was equipped with a long-barreled tank gun of 75 mm caliber.
If you can beat it, you can't run it, and you can't beat it if you run it.
This time, this Maozi armored reconnaissance platoon encountered this fierce Xiafei light tank. 647
When the two sides met, they couldn't help but be stunned.
In less than two seconds, both sides reacted.
"Enemy!"
"Stop, fire!"
"Move a little to the right and point the frontal armor at them."
On the quick response above.
As a sharp soldier, the members of the Xiafei tank group are even better.
Two 75-mm tank guns were aimed at two BT-2 fast tanks.
Who calls them the only two tanks, does not fight them to fight whom.
"Boom....."
"Boom....."
"Boom....."
With three running sounds.
After a while, the equipment of two BT-2 fast tanks was easily penetrated.
Then the flames rose from the inside.
The turrets were blown out.
And a shell fired by one of the BT-2 fast tanks also hit the front of the turret of an M24 flying tank.
The explosion caused the M24 to shake violently.
However, it did not cause any damage on the armor surface.
The 50-mm armor is not something that its short-barreled 37-mm gun is capable of penetrating.
After seeing that his tanks were all bursting.
Three armored cars pressed the accelerator and began to run.
At the same time, their vehicle-mounted machine guns also fired at the two M24 flying light tanks.
Bullets fell densely on the tank armor.
There was a jingling sound.
But it's too late for them to want to run at the moment.
The two Xiafei light cannons were directly aimed at each other.
Two more explosions sounded.
Flames burst into the sky.
The last armored car was also plugged under the armor-piercing shells of the 7.62 mm machine gun.
After easily taking out Maozi a reconnaissance detachment.
Two M24s chose to move on.
Similar scenes took place all over the battlefield.
There is no doubt that Maozi's cjae reconnaissance unit is in a weak position.
It can even be said that it is completely pressed and beaten.
The fierce exchange of fire between the armored reconnaissance units of both sides also made it clear to both sides.
The enemy is ahead.
About 5 km in front of the city of Zabaikal is a large area of agricultural farms.
Maozi in the Far East has many farming farms.
This became a battleground for both sides.
When T-34/85 medium tanks and IS-3 heavy tanks rushed up a gentle slope.
The tank crew members could see the dust sweeping in the distance.
Under this dusty sky, there are Maozi tanks.
Look down from the sky.
Tank units on both sides can be seen accelerating.
More than a thousand tanks on the side of the Northeast Frontier Army were clamped towards Maozi's tank cluster like pincers.
This can also be seen as a pincer offensive of tanks.
But there is also a sharp blade in this pliers.
And it's the sharpest kind.
Mao Zi's side was originally imposing, and he looked invincible in the world.
After all, they did not think that a small Huaxia could surpass them on tanks.
For Huaxia, their hearts were full of ridicule and contempt.
However, when the tank cluster of the Northeast Frontier Army was seen opposite.
They only realized how wrong they were.
If Blyuchel knew the truth.
Even if he disobeyed the order from the Red Palace.
It was also just that the Second Mechanized Corps was used as the main attacking force.
But now that the bow is on the string, they have no chance to retreat.
For them, who are full of revolutionary faith.
Even in the face of even the strongest opponents.
They will also attack without hesitation.
"Boom....."
After a while, shells began to fall on the armored cluster on the side of the northeastern border guards.
This is when artillery units in Maozi's rear began to launch shelling.
Cover the attack of the 5th Mechanized Corps.
"Buzz..." (Read the violent novel, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
At this time, Mustang, Raiden, and Mosquito fighters appeared on the battlefield.
Their appearance accelerated the countdown to the demise of the 5th Mechanized Corps.
A part of the formation flew towards Maozi's rear.
Their target, of course, was Maozi's artillery.
To say that Maozi is most afraid of them.
Most of their artillery was not destroyed during the counterattack of the artillery of the Northeast Army.
Instead, they are destroyed by these demons in the sky.
Their arrival also meant a nightmare for Maozi artillerymen.
The remaining more than 300 fighters were swarming like locusts.
On the ground are mountains of tanks, and the sky is full of warplanes.
"Accelerate, the whole army accelerates, the Air Force comes to grab meat and eat, all accelerate me."
When I saw the fighter that came so quickly.
The division commanders of all units began to jump to their feet in a hurry.
I can't wait for my tank to be equipped with two thrusters.
"Hurry up, charge, armored troop charge."
An excited German language appeared on a busy radio channel.
And this voice came from Guderian.
At this moment, he was sitting in an IS-3 heavy tank and rushing ahead like a wild horse out of control.
When Guderian stumbled upon the IS-3 heavy tank, which was quite avant-garde in this era.
It was immediately shocking.
And where can he care about Seckert's explanation at this time.
The German persistence was brought into play.
Finally got the chance to get on the tank.
And his position is the filler.
The speeding IS-3 heavy tank also activated his fanatical genes.
He couldn't help but shout excitedly.
"Stop!"
"Fire!"
Under the command of the commander.
The massive heavy tank made an emergency stop.
A second later, the 122-mm large-caliber tank gun roared.
Under the strong recoil, the entire tank fell backwards.
Guderian gripped the railing firmly to prevent himself from tipping over.
A 122 mm armor-breaking shell whizzed towards a T-26 light tank whose tracks had been blown off.
This large-caliber armor-breaking shell hit the frontal turret of the T-26 light tank directly with a very accurate hit rate.
However, even this is where the T26 tank has the thickest armor.
But where can it be blocked from a 122 mm caliber armor-breaking projectile.
"Boom..."
A cloud of fire burst out, and in the midst of the martyrdom, the entire tank was torn to shreds.
Only a crippled chassis braving raging fire remained.
After the explosion, a 250-kilogram bomb fell from the sky.
Fell on the wreckage of this tank.
In the midst of a huge explosion, a P-47 Thunderbolt fighter roared overhead.
After seeing this scene, the pilot was extremely depressed.
It was actually robbed of merit.
"Next!"
He then piloted the fighter to the next target.
It is an MS1 escort tank in the process of rapid development.
Although it is only a small pudding, even the smallest mosquito is meat.
I haven't had any results yet.
This time, you have to blow up a few Maozi tanks anyway.
With that, he dived again at a small angle.
When after aiming at this tank.
A 250-kilogram bombshell under the belly fell in free fall.
Landed less than a meter in front of the MS1 escort tank.
"Boom..."
In the huge explosion, the tank, which was only a few tons, was directly blown up, and the debris flew hundreds of meters away.
Under the blows of the Air Force.
The tank cluster of the 5th Mechanized Corps was completely disrupted.
Then thousands of tanks from three directions outflanked them.
When the distance between the striker tanks of both sides was brought closer to a distance of 500-800 meters.
Tanks on both sides opened fire.
However, whether the T-34 is an IS-3 heavy tank, it is not something their tank can deal with.
And the tanks on the side of the Northeast Frontier Army can easily destroy them.
The two sides are not a hierarchical opponent either in terms of quantity or quality.
What's more, there are more than 300 fighters in the sky.
With the weak top armor of their tanks.
The machine gun of any fighter can be a can opener with armor-piercing shells.
This is not a tank battle at all.
It's a local abuse.
Especially when the tanks of the Northeast Frontier Army crashed headlong into Maozi's chaotic tank cluster.
For the tanks of the Northeast Army, it was completely a hunting feast.
At this distance, their guns were ready to hit each other without much aiming.
It's too close.
This tank battle came and went quickly.
Under the stranglehold of the combination of open space.
They can't even run.
After a little over an hour, the tank battle was over.
The Northeast Frontier Army dispatched more than 1,000 tanks and more than 300 fighters from six divisions to complete the task of annihilating the tank units of Maozi's 5th Mechanized Corps.
This was the first battle between the tank units of both sides.
It ended with a sweaty victory for the Northeast border guards.
