Anti-Japanese War: Young Marshal? No, please call me Great Power

Chapter 115

The 19th Infantry Division of the Far Eastern Special Army and the 14th Independent 8th Tank Brigade were the first echelons responsible for attacking the Manchurian Line.

They were also the closest unit to the Manchurian Line.

Just less than 3 km away.

At this moment, they followed the rear of dozens of tanks of the Independent 8th Tank Brigade, preparing to launch an attack on the Manchurian region.

But they did not expect the air force of the Northeast Army to appear.

They watched the play on the ground for almost an hour.

During this time, they looked at the fighter planes flying overhead.

Turning a blind eye to them.

And they also clearly feel that the artillery fire is constantly weakening.

It is clear that this is an air attack on their own artillery position.

According to the original plan, they would attack two hours after the artillery was ready.

And now they have not received an order whether to continue the offensive or retreat.

Therefore, I could only stay in front of the attack position in amazement.

Their entire attack cluster is also relatively scattered.

Battalion units were scattered on an attack front of more than ten kilometers.

It was divided into three attack detachments: left, center, and right.

The middle of the road is where tanks are most concentrated.

This tank brigade was only recently mobilized from Europe.

The tanks equipped are relatively new BT-2 fast tanks, and they are also the few units equipped with BT tanks.

In addition to this, there is a battalion of more than a dozen MS-1 escort tanks.

The BT-2 fast tank pre-model had a combat weight of about 11.6 tons and was equipped with a millimeter tank gun.

The maximum road speed is 86 kilometers per hour and the distance is more than 200 kilometers.

The MS1 escort tank is actually a version of the FT-17 Renault light tank.

The total combat weight is only 6 tons, and it is armed with a 37 mm short-barreled gun.

These tanks are already the most advanced tanks before Maozidang 850.

"Attack....."

Blyuchel after feeling a huge threat from the air.

Decisively ordered artillery fire to hide, while allowing front-line troops to attack.

It is definitely not okay to take it down.

If the attacking forces are withdrawn because of this.

Then Moscow will remove him.

Retreating without a fight, as a comrade with a firm will, is absolutely not allowed.

So he could only bite the bullet and order the troops to attack.

It is necessary to show the indomitable momentum of the revolutionary fighters.

But when they attacked.

It was also the time when the Northeast Army launched an attack on this side.

"Order all artillery to concentrate on attacking this up-and-coming force, and the ground forces are ready to attack at any time."

When receiving bomber groups had arrived over Manzhouli.

As the commander of the First Army Group, Huang Baitao really gave the order to counterattack.

At this moment, the front line concentrated six divisions of self-propelled guns, plus the artillery of an entire artillery division.

All of them are above 105 mm caliber.

The total number already exceeds 500.

And this is all self-propelled guns, not towed guns.

Compared with towed guns, the biggest disadvantage of self-propelled guns is the high cost of use.

But the biggest advantage is that it can be deployed on a mobile basis.

In addition to these self-propelled guns.

There are also 6 Katyusha self-propelled artillery battalions and one heavy rocket artillery battalion.

A total of 126 Katyusha and 45 BM-13-12 heavy rocket launchers.

This was also the first time that the Northeast Army had used such a large number of rocket artillery groups in a certain battle situation.

With these volleys, more than 2,500 rockets could be fired in a single round.

At the moment, Maozi's tank brigade and 14 did not know that they had become targets of heavy artillery groups and rocket artillery groups.

Still on the way to the charge.

"Put!"

"Launch!"

One by one, electromagnetic waves were transmitted to the radios of the various artillery positions.

Immediately, the huge cannons on the position began to roar.

The muzzle fire of one gun flashed, sending shells over the heads of Maozi's attacking forces several kilometers away.

At the same time, self-propelled rocket launchers began to fire a salvo.

"Swish, swish..."

In an instant, the entire rocket artillery firing position was covered with smoke.

One rocket after another whistled and quickly lifted off into the air.

At this time, Maozi's attacking troops could already see the shells that were flying in the sky.

There is no such thing as calibration, it is directly a salvo.

In the midst of a shell like a normal one.

The rain of thousands of rockets is also very dazzling.

"Shelling, dodging shelling ..."

When they saw this scene, everyone's faces showed a terrified expression.

Without saying a word, the experienced veteran directly lay down with his head in his hands, while propped up on the ground with his elbows.

Keep a certain gap between the body and the ground, so as to avoid shock wave damage.

Others are looking for cover.

And the recruits lie down in the same way.

However, they were lying directly on the ground to meet the coming shelling.

"Boom, boom, boom.........."

Dense explosions rang out like a sea of mountains.

Looking down from the sky, you can see the explosions, fires, smoke and dirt rising densely above the ground.

Especially after the rain of rocket artillery whistled down.

It was as if heaven and earth had begun to lose their color.

The landslide and the ground cracked, and the ground shook can describe the scene at this time.

And the Maozi soldiers who were under shelling were under such a dense explosion.

Even veterans with extensive experience in dodging artillery will not work.

Because the density of shells is simply too high.

Especially rocket artillery.

Although the accuracy of the rocket is very poor, it cannot be shelled point-to-point with the barreled artillery.

But its surface killing ability is strong.

Often it is smashed down in pieces.

How many more can you hide? (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

The shock in Xue Boling's pupils who saw this scene could not be concealed at all.

This was the first time he had seen such a magnificent shelling scene.

Huang Baitao smiled when he saw his expression.

"How? This is too much fire, this is not our limit.

If the whole army concentrates more than a thousand guns, this (CJDD) scene will be even more spectacular. "

Saying that, he also sighed: "Once upon a time we were still envious of the artillery of the great powers.

Unexpectedly, we ourselves became the appearance of the great powers, and this life encounter is really wonderful. "

After Xue Boling came back to his senses, he also said with a smile: "Yes, I didn't expect that we ourselves have become a great power, and we will be the most powerful." "

"Here we go!"

Looking at the swarm of aircraft in the sky, he couldn't help but say.

Bomber groups and escort groups taking off from the Qiqihar region finally reached the front line.

The artillery fire rising densely on the ground was their bombing guideline.

The huge bomber group adopted the horizontal formation mode and flew 5,000 meters above the head of Maozi's attacking force.

The arrival of the bomber group was the beginning of Maozi's end.

When the Maozi soldiers and officers in the rear saw the bomber group covering the sky.

The expression on his face is not unexciting.

Through the Norton scope, the bombardier can clearly see the location of the Maozi attacking force on the ground.

"Drop the bomb!"

Under the open magazine gate, high-explosive aerial bombs with M69 napalm fell like dumplings.

The dense bombs fell to the ground at great speed.

In an instant, explosions that were more intensive than the previous shelling sounded.

Compared with artillery shells, aerial bombs are undoubtedly more powerful.

Any one starts at 100 kg.

In charge far exceeds that of high-explosive grenades.

At this moment, even Maozi's tank is in such a dense explosion.

It's like a flat boat in the middle of a storm.

Shells and aerial bombs hit at close range.

You can easily shred them.

Carpet bombing in the face of 180 B-29 strategic bombers.

How can Maozi, an infantry division, be able to carry it.

At such close range, all bombers were mounted to the maximum.

The limit of a single bomber is up to 9 tons.

These 180 are more than 1,600 tons of aerial bombs.

Maozi's 14th Corps Division and 8th Tank Brigade enjoyed unprecedented treatment.

It can only be said that they were unlucky and were selected as the offensive group of the first echelon.

When the bomber group finished bombing, it began to return home in preparation for the second wave of bombing.

But in the next wave, the scale will not be so big.

The reason for the formation of such a large aerial bombardment cluster.

Its purpose is to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger and undermine Maozi's morale.

Such intensive bombing and shelling in the field.

This full infantry division of more than 12,000 people had less than 7,000 men left at the moment.

In just ten minutes.

They lost more than 5,000 people.

You can imagine how terrifying this doomsday rain of bullets is.

And that's just the beginning.

Under the guidance of artillery reconnaissance aircraft.

The artillery positions continued to pour shells on the remnants of Maozi's 14th Division and the 8th Tank Brigade.

It seems that more than 10,000 people will be smashed to death with shells alive.

For this sudden border conflict.

The German officer corps began to move.

More than a dozen officers joined forces to find Seckert.

"This is our best opportunity to understand the strength of the polar bear and the Northeast Army.

From the previous wars of the Northeast Army, we can know that the current war is completely different from the positional war in the First World War.

We very much need to know how future wars will be fought.

So we want to go deep into the front line to understand. "

Seckert was more than happy with their request.

So he found Zhang Xueming.

"Our officers want to go to the front as members of the Military Observer Mission.

I know my request is a bit abrupt, but we really desperately need this opportunity. "

After hearing this, Zhang Xueming's fingers kept tapping on the table.

There are pros and cons in letting them go to the front.

Overall, though, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

This ordinary ground war does not have much technical content to speak of.

There is also not much equipment that needs to be kept secret.

And in this way, it is more intuitive to show this group of Germans the military strength of the northeast.

The most important thing is to show enough strength.

In order to get a piece of the armament expansion of the mustache a year later.

After all, an equipment is not said to be very powerful, others will believe it.

The premise is that you have to have this strength.

So he agreed to the request.

Let part of the German officers go to the front as observers.

Among these officers was a lieutenant colonel named Guderian.
