Chapter 949: The Battle of the Gobi
Of course, the Seventh Army can't fight against the Soviet Army, after all, the gap in weapons is really too obvious! Moreover, the other side has a lot of troops, and if it is a head-to-head confrontation with the Soviet army, the hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers of the Seventh Army will not be able to inflict many casualties on the Soviet army at all!
China's thousands of years of history is also China's thousands of years of war history, and the wisdom and genes of the ancestors' wars have been inherited in their bodies! They also have their own ways to deal with troops that are stronger than themselves!
On the first day of the confrontation, they had already taken a big advantage, but the combat effectiveness of the Soviet army was still above them! Fu Yisheng ordered the troops to withdraw from their positions overnight and deploy to the next position!
"Commander-in-Chief, our reinforcements have arrived!" The chief of staff reported to Fu Yisheng.
"Reinforcements? Our reinforcements from there? ”
Fu Yisheng didn't know that Xue Boling had come to support him with troops, because he hadn't received news from Chongqing!
"It's General Xue, he's coming to support us with his troops! He has two armored divisions in his hands! ”
At the beginning, Chongqing recognized Outer Mongolia, in exchange for military assistance from the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Mechanic Division was also established in Chongqing's troops, of course, after fighting the Japanese army for so long, it was impossible for the Soviet Mechanic Division to keep it all! When Xue Boling regained Wuhan, there was only one Soviet tank division left! But after the Soviet Union stopped military aid, Chongqing was always looking for new objects of military assistance, and finally found the magnesium people!
The people of the magnesium country gave Chongqing a large amount of military equipment, of course, there is also Xue Boling's share, and Xue Boling's troops have expanded an armored reorganized division, all of which are tanks from the magnesium country!
Xue Boling also knew that in addition to relying on the combat quality of the soldiers to fight the Soviet army on the Gobi, what he needed most was the overlord on land, so he brought all the armored troops over!
"Let's go, hurry up and meet me!"
Although Fu Yisheng didn't expect reinforcements to arrive, this was very good news for them! Although he was sure that the Soviet army would be held back, Xue Boling's arrival increased their confidence, and it was even possible to wipe out all the Soviet troops.
"General Xue, I'm really glad you guys can come!" Fu Yisheng held Xue Boling's hand and was very excited!
"General Fu, don't say more! Our troops have only arrived partially, and the follow-up troops are coming, take me to see the situation on the battlefield! ”
Xue Boling knew that the battle had begun, although he didn't know what the situation was ahead, but for them, this battle had to be won, and if this battle was lost, the west would become another country! As military personnel of the country, they will definitely not allow the same scene to be played out again!
"Let's go, get into my headquarters!"
In the headquarters, Fu Yisheng quickly told Xue Boling about the situation on the battlefield, and told Xue Boling the results of their first day's battle!
"After the first day's losses, the next offensive of the Soviet army will definitely change its strategy! The next battle is not easy to fight! We still have two positions to hold on! ”
In the past few days, Fu Yisheng and their progress has been very slow, just to build fortifications in the evening time and make long-term plans! But by daylight they had already abandoned a position, and if they retreated again tomorrow, they would have one last position behind them to defend!
"Flanks, I'll have our two armored divisions move to the flanks, and the rest of the troops will defend their positions with you! As long as they attack head-on, you hold them back, and then our two armored divisions attack the Soviets from the flanks! ”
Fu Yisheng had already arranged all aspects of their defense, Xue Boling was still not very familiar with the situation on the battlefield, all he could do was to listen to Xue Boling's arrangements, this was the first time that the local government did not command the Central Army! However, Xue Boling was willing, as long as he could win the battle and preserve the national territory, it didn't matter who commanded the battle!
When dawn came, a strong wind blew on the Gobi, and the sand and gravel covered the sky blocked the line of sight, which was very unfavorable for the march of the armored troops, especially the lookout of the tank troops was only so far away, and the field of vision was limited, and the weather caused the combat capability of the tanks to be greatly reduced!
Even so, the Soviets still did not intend to abandon the offensive, they had already developed a new offensive strategy, and in addition to the armored forces, they had powerful infantry!
Once again, the Soviets swept in and braved the wind and sand to launch an attack on the positions defended by the Seventh Army! Having learned the lesson of yesterday, the Soviets did not rush to attack with tanks, but first arranged for the infantry to launch a tentative attack on the Seventh Army!
Fu Yisheng had already expected that the Soviet army would definitely learn a lesson after suffering losses yesterday, but Fu Yisheng also changed his strategy and did not deploy anti-tank * in front of the position! In front of their position, except for a bare patch, all that remained was the wind and dust whistling by!
"Get ready to fight! Don't reveal the machine gun! ”
Under such a violent wind and sand, the company commander constantly urged his soldiers in the trenches to prepare for battle, and fighting in this weather was a test for the soldiers on both sides.
"Da Da Da"
The wind and sand make people's eyes can't open at all, and the Soviet army has no way to see the firepower points on the positions of the Seventh Army! Similarly, the soldiers of the Seventh Army also had a reduced hit rate, and both sides took turns firing down, and there were no losses at all.
The Soviets knew that in such weather, even if they could capture the opponent's position, they might not be able to hold it! After the first wave of tentative attacks, after determining that there was no * in front of them, they decided to abandon the attack and wait until tomorrow morning to launch a surprise attack with armored forces!
Last night's arrangement had to be shelved because of a huge wind and sand, although the Soviet army gave up the attack, but the soldiers of the Seventh Army did not dare to slack off, and still lay in the trenches against the wind and sand to guard against a sudden attack by the Soviet army!
"I'm afraid that before the end of the storm today, the Soviet army will not attack!"
In such weather, it is not conducive to the movement of tanks at all, the Soviet army will definitely not abandon its advantages and brave the wind and sand to attack, and also on the flank battlefield, Xue Boling's two armored divisions are also limited by the wind and sand weather, and there is no chance to participate in the battle!
"How about organizing a night raid tonight? Our armored division takes the lead! "As long as the wind and sand stop, tonight is bound to be a great opportunity!
"Armored forces take the lead? A few kilometers away a sound can reveal our whereabouts! Fu Yisheng shook his head gently!
A night raid is indeed a good plan, but the participation of armored troops in a night raid will only allow them to expose their targets faster! So this night attack can only have infantry!
"Arrange for two regiments of death squads to participate in the night attack, with the armored division as backup! And then all of our troops will finally press on it! "The chief of staff suggests!
"Which unit is the center of gravity this time? If, once blocked, do we go on the offensive or retreat? Xue Boling asked.
"With the armored division as the center of gravity, as long as the armored division can successfully penetrate the camp of the Soviet army, all the troops will concentrate their firepower to press, and if the armored division encounters a setback, abandon the death squad, and all the troops will retreat to defense!"
"Okay, that's it, I'll organize the death squad now!"
The death squad is to use their head to hit the enemy's gun, although the warriors of the Seventh Army are afraid of death, but they resolutely participate in the death squad! They are not death squads who participate for the glory of money, they just don't want their country to become a soft persimmon, whoever wants to pinch it casually!
"We are soldiers, soldiers should defend the country, now we don't have to fight the little devils, because someone has sacrificed for us, but in the west we still have a strong threat, if we don't eliminate this threat, they are like a knife hanging above our heads, ready to cut a piece of meat from us!" Fu Yisheng said to his brothers.
"I also know that most of you have gone and never returned, but I, Fu Yisheng, promise you that I will do my filial piety for your parents!"
Two regiments of death squads, a team of more than four thousand people, two of which were already commanders, but commando captains!
In the evening, the wind gradually became smaller, and the moon gradually rose, and the moonlight sprinkled on the sandy land of the Gobi was like a layer of white veil, making people look very peaceful!
The warriors changed their clothes, arranged their weapons, and there was a solemnity and calmness on the faces of young or old people, and no one knew what was going on in their hearts!
This group of lovely and respectable soldiers may be annihilated in the rolling tide of history in the future, but at this moment, time has left them with the most precious images!
or worry, or miss, or reminisce, or small, or disappear......
With an order, the team drove out of the barracks and began to march towards their destination, the moonlight shining on their stiff backs, leaving a long shadow in front of them!
Quietly, without the slightest movement, the tense atmosphere allowed them to hear each other's heartbeats, closer and closer, closer and closer, the soldiers approached the camp where the Soviet troops rested!
The fire in the camp was flickering, driving away the cold of the Gobi night, and the Soviet soldiers did not know that outside their camp, there was a group of soldiers staring at them, wanting to drink their blood and eat their flesh!
Finally, the soldiers of the death squad launched a charge, and only the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard during this charge! Until a Soviet soldier found theirs.
"Enemy attack!"
The Soviet soldiers yelled and tried to pass on the news to their companions, and then a dense burst of gunfire followed!
"Da Da Da"
The originally quiet night was no longer quiet, the originally neat and orderly formation began to become chaotic, and the soldiers in the Soviet camp hurriedly met the battle, but the death squads had already rushed into their camp!
"Panzer Division Charge!" After hearing the gunshots, Xue Boling ordered the armored troops to immediately attack the Soviet camp!
"All units acted according to the plan and launched an attack on the Soviet camp as quickly as possible!" Fu Yisheng also gave the order to attack.
