Chapter 41: The Battle in the Rain

、、、、、、、

Through the previous chapters, everyone will think that the attacks launched by both the "Thunder International" and the "Bundeswehr" will be in the early hours of the morning.

Because the night is the best means of covering the movement of troops. Moreover, when dawn comes, it is the time when people are most sleepy and distracted.

This is also the reason why the landing time was chosen at 6 a.m. on D-Day, and the airborne landing had already begun at 23 a.m. the previous day.

Raids in the early hours of the morning tend to be the most sudden. And after the breakthrough, there can be a full day, for the next operation.

Therefore, not only the above two armies, but also other armies are often the first choice when carrying out assaults. The dawn of the assault has a natural advantage of attacking.

What we have to discuss here is the question of the change of odd positive, what is "odd" and what is "positive"? The approximate one is positive, and the few are strange.

Here are some philosophically relevant dialectical identifications, which are just the application of the philosophical category of "negation of negation". Then this operation is precisely such an action of negation of negation.

Heavy rain spread across the sky, not the short, violent thunderstorms that often occur in summer. They were some moderate levels of rain, and for this kind of rain Denikin's soldiers were fond of.

We said that Russian soldiers are tough, but a long war can cause spiritual fatigue. When moderate levels of rain appeared in the sky, the soldiers on both sides intended to relax appropriately.

"Don't fight in the rainy season, because the mud will get tangled in your feet, and the rain will make you unable to shoot! So, in such weather, it's a good idea to grab a nap if you can, or find a place to change out of your already wet socks! ”

Some people say that soldiers don't like war, and that's of course! Just as we all don't like our work, we can't abandon our work because we don't like it, just as a soldier can't abandon his duty because he doesn't like it.

So, although no one liked to fight in the rain, without air support, and with a greatly reduced effectiveness of artillery support, the offensive was launched in such weather.

Wei Lihuang sat in his "wheeled tank", which, as mentioned earlier, used hard metal plate wheels. Due to the small diameter of the metal wheel, the eight large plate wheels make it more like a large beetle lurking in the rain. And this "wheeled tank" is being called the "Iron Beetle".

The 37 mm long barrel with a heat sheath pointed forward, looking through the periscope mirrors into the rain.

"What the fuck, if you attack in such weather, isn't that chief's head sick!"

The rain hit the steel plate of the "iron beetle" and made a dense "sizzle" sound. What you can see in the mirror is the "splash" formed by the rain splashing in front of the camera.

In such a situation, there is always a strange smell in the car due to the air pressure. In desperation, he had to smoke a cigarette desperately to numb his sense of smell.

As the commander of the first battalion, he was only 22 years old, and he was nicknamed "little battalion commander" by other officers. Faced with such a situation, Wei Lihuang simply learned to smoke and grew a beard.

He joined the Bundeswehr as a member of the "Chinese Revolutionary Party", and when the war for the founding of the Chinese Federation was imminent, he joined the Bundeswehr boot camp with many other party members. Subsequently, he was inexplicably singled out and arrived at the Whampoa Military Academy.

After all, when he was in Guangzhou, he was no longer an ordinary soldier. Not only once served as the platoon commander of Sun Yat-sen's guard regiment, but he also attacked the Whampoa Military Academy.

It was that battle that left him with the impression of eternal life.

As a member of the "Chinese Revolutionary Party," which many people at the Whampoa Military Academy disliked or were wary of, he did not join the "China Renaissance Party" in order to win the trust of the soldiers, like others, and became a third-level party member who only paid party dues. He is still a member of the "Chinese Revolutionary Party".

In such a situation, after graduation, he was transferred to the "Thunder International" as the company commander of the armored company. At that time, Thunder International had only one motorized infantry brigade as the company commander of the support firearms company. Subsequently, in the expansion of Thunder International, he was promoted to battalion commander and became a member of the An Jinchi Heavy Brigade.

He had two companies of wheeled tanks using a total of 54 Iron Beetles, and one armored infantry company using 27 S-1 Scythe of Death, and he led a "tank battalion" of the armored infantry regiment of the hoplite brigade.

If you count the 9 "Iron Beetle" wheeled tanks in the battalion headquarters platoon, then his tank battalion shares 63 tanks and 27 armored vehicles, a total of 90 armored vehicles of various types.

Except for the nine maintenance vehicles and repairmen, the rest of the personnel, such as the medical personnel and other handymen and transport personnel, told him to rush back to the battalion directly under the regimental headquarters and stay with other units until he made a radio greeting.

This is a common practice in the troops, with the exception of encounters. When a breakthrough is made, most commanders will always rush handymen such as communication trucks or cooking squads and medical platoons to similar units at the next level, so as not to get in the way of an attack.

In this offensive, their regiment was the vanguard of the hoplite brigade and the entire armored group, while their battalion was the vanguard of the armored infantry regiment.

This arrangement is quite puzzling, according to many people's thoughts, shouldn't it be a tracked tank regiment to fight the striker?

Of course not, wheeled tanks are relatively faster than tracked tanks, and as armored infantry, they can conduct fire reconnaissance at a relatively wide range. Especially when moving fast, they are more useful than tanks.

Of course, they are not punches that hit people. The real punch was a tank regiment of the tank brigade that followed them right behind. If the wheeled tanks as the vanguard encountered a strong infantry defense line, they had to get out of the way, and naturally hundreds of tanks would go to clear the obstacles.

At that time, as armored infantry regiments, they will be the troops that cooperate with the attack.

"Action!"

The helmet's headset came the order of his regiment commander Li Zongren.

Li Zongren was born in 1891, not a few years older than Wei Lihuang. He once participated in the war against Yuan under the command of Cai Yi. Later, when current events changed, he joined the Bundeswehr with the army after Lu Tingrong and Tang Jiyao were "beheaded".

After the systematic education of the Whampoa Military Academy, he joined the "Thunder International" as a battalion commander, and then was promoted to the commander of the armored infantry regiment when it was expanded.

"Yes!"

The young Wei Lihuang responded, and then switched the call channel to the battalion-level communication channel.

"Brothers, go!"

"Woo......"

With his order, the diesel engine of the "Iron Beetle" roared hoarsely, and the originally quiet interior of the tank immediately became noisy.

When the large slab wheel driven by the 8Γ—8 rotates, the wet mud is thrown high. At this time, if you don't go through the intercom system in the car, you can hear it clearly unless you shout.

The entire "Thunder International" serves as a "testing ground" for the Bundeswehr, and their radio equipment is even better than that of the Bundeswehr.

Armored infantry and tanks can all be connected to single vehicles, while light infantry and radio transmitters are equipped up to the platoon level. Compared with all the armies in the world at this time, the radio equipment of "Thunder International" is the most comprehensive and systematic.

In the rain, wheeled tanks are not as fast as they are on a sunny day. Even the black soil of the dirt roads that turn into dirt roads when it rains in Russia often makes them have to slow down.

Fortunately, on the big wheels, those gear-like teeth were deeply sunk into the hard pavement at the bottom of the mud due to the weight of the car, so that their movements did not stop.

Adhering to the Bundeswehr tradition of "attacking officers first, retreating officers later", Wei Lihuang's tanks took the lead in the entire tank battalion. He had no troops in front of him, except for the reconnaissance team on off-road bikes that had been sent out long before the battle began.

Wei Lihuang lifted the top cover of the tank and got out, which always made people feel depressed in the car.

When there is no fighting, people always feel that it is not normal to get wet. But after the battle begins, if life can be put on the line, the rain will be nothing.

The rain has formed a dense curtain in the Russian wilderness, which greatly affects people's vision. And in such weather, there is no aerial reconnaissance, and there is no presence of "Eagle Eye" that provides command information everywhere on a sunny day.

Fortunately, the regimental reconnaissance team sent out in the early stage still fed back enough news.

"There are rocket launchers in the coordinatesΓ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ—Γ— hell, there's nothing in that place!"

Wiping a handful of rain from his face, Wei Lihuang asked the gun commander to turn the muzzle of the gun to prepare for shooting. But he didn't get into the turret himself, and still held up a telescope to take a closer look.

At this moment, a puff of smoke suddenly rose from a small grove of trees in the field. Then he saw a rocket with a feathered tail flame.

Wei Lihuang immediately lowered his body and closed the hatch of the turret above his head. At this time, his heart was beating rapidly, and the feeling of "pounding" made him think that his heart was about to jump out.

In fact, the Russians' rockets were only a few of the heavy rocket launchers that the Germans had obtained from Britain and France.

Although bulky, the rockets that were once used against German balloons and airships were characterized only by their caliber and power.

The composite armor technology unique to the Chinese Federation, which once made him proud, felt that it was no longer so reliable for him. This feeling is especially strong when facing enemy large-caliber rocket fire.

Wei Lihuang covered his ears and shouted desperately.

"Attention, rockets are coming!"
