Chapter 1163: Defeat the Central Cluster
In just 2 minutes, an average of 10 shells were fired from each tank, and more than 2,000 shells almost covered the position of the entire heavy artillery cluster, even if the planes in the sky, because of smoke and fire, blocked the line of sight, it was impossible to judge, Wu Yunheng could also judge with his experience that the heavy artillery unit was no longer a threat, and the main Russian force in front of it, plus this heavy artillery unit, the two most powerful forces in the central cluster had been eliminated, and then, It depends on the results of the expansion of the armored forces.
The planes in the sky clearly guided them in the direction, and the most concentrated personnel at the moment were 2 kilometers in front of them, where was the Russian army headquarters, in such an unfamiliar place on the steppe, even the scattered troops and the scared troops were concentrated towards that place, so in addition to the 120,000 Seventh Army that was completely defeated, the 500,000 central cluster, at least 350,000 troops were in this place.
In the field, in the face of infantry clusters that have no fixed positions or even heavy artillery as their backing, the tank is simply its natural nemesis, no matter how powerful and numerous the infantry units are, facing the infantry phalanx in the opening like a scalpel, and then attacking.
In a short period of time, the tank cluster, which itself concentrated on shelling the camp, changed again, turned into a small column, quickly completed the turn, and rushed towards the central cluster.
The Russian army, which happened to be in front of the tank cluster, almost didn't frighten its guts, this haunting devil, how could it come again, people couldn't run away.
At this moment, Brusinov was still immersed in confusion and did not realize at all that the target of the tank had turned to his central battalion, albeit at a slight distance. But under the speed of the tank, it is a matter of minutes.
"Commander, let's withdraw!" The adjutant said with some concern, the position of the tank has been turned, and the target is very obvious, it is their central cluster. This is the largest number of troops and personnel, it seems to be well-protected, but in the face of monsters, it is almost paper paste, and the previous powerful Seventh Army did not resist for long, not to mention the remaining group of recruits and rabble. At this time, stay here, not to mention those monsters crushing over. Even if it is a chaotic army, it will make their lives difficult to protect.
Brusinov, who was already in a daze, escaped from the command almost under the control of the adjutant and attendants, and quickly followed the rout to leave, and the tanks finally attacked the core of the central battalion, and sure enough, as the attendants expected, faced the tanks armed to the teeth. The central battalion did not resist for long at all, and even resisted very little. It's all sporadic, the resistance that is cornered, and the rest is running, but how far can you run, the speed at which people run is a few kilometers at most, but what about tanks. At least more than 40 kilometers, often not able to run far, is caught up by tanks, or machine guns, or run over.
In fact, after entering the central camp. The role of heavy tanks is very small, after the strategic artillery is eliminated, the remaining small and medium-sized artillery fire is scattered, under the premise of the stalemate between the two sides, they lack the battle defense artillery that can be fired directly at the target, the old mountain artillery and field artillery, only fixed positions and camps can be fired, this era has fallen behind.
More light tanks and armored vehicles continued to gallop in every inch of the country, constantly killing the Russian army, dividing, dividing, encircling, everything was done smoothly. Tank to infantry, just like the infantry of the year meets the cavalry, the cavalry is the natural enemy of the infantry, just like the Song Dynasty in ancient China, in fact, the strength of the Song soldiers in the Song Dynasty is not weak, the infantry tactics have developed to the extreme, the Song soldiers are good at defending the city, thousands of troops, resist the loss of tens of thousands, or even more troop projects, still standing, similar examples abound.
But why does the Song Dynasty look weak, the reason is very simple, his enemies are all cavalry, mobile and flexible, the tactics of the Song soldiers rely on bows and crossbows, inconvenient to move, at most defensive battles and positional battles, sports warfare is also a camp, once it is broken, it is a thousand miles of collapse, even if it wins, the opponent's cavalry will run away on horseback, or not pursue, once pursued, it will be counterattacked by the other party, and then the loss will be even worse.
Armored troops, stronger than cavalry, maneuverability, he is equivalent to light infantry, about 50 kilometers per hour, endurance of 4 to 5 hours, this, few cavalry units can do, but in terms of protection, it is equivalent to heavy cavalry, in this world, there are many weapons that can threaten armor, but they can really come to China, in the Mongolian steppe, there are very few, for the armored corps that has formed a scale, there is no impact at all.
For China, the appearance of the 1st Armored Division was a successful appearance, and the effect was very good, 700 tanks, less than 10,000 crews, forcibly attacking 500,000 troops, but it was a pursuit and annihilation war, and a large number of enemy troops were annihilated under the premise that their own losses were small.
From 10 o'clock in the morning to 12 o'clock, 2 hours of time, it was a feast for the armored corps, whether it was heavy tanks, light tanks, armored vehicles, all of them were red-eyed, the outside of each armor was blurred with flesh and blood, and some armored vehicles even got stuck in the wheel and stopped in place because they were crushed too much. However, even the tanks parked in place are still greeting the Russian army with machine guns, unless there is a Russian military suicide method, using large explosive packs and cluster grenades to kill them.
Of course, there are very few people who have the courage to sacrifice, unless they are cornered, and tanks and armored vehicles drive the Russian army like wolves and sheep, and they are not attacked until he is exhausted.
The infantry can't outrun the cavalry, and the Russian army can't outrun the armored vehicles, and in 2 hours, the armored cluster greets the central Russian army more, and does not take into account anything else, but in 2 hours, the Russian army has suffered a total of more than 400,000 casualties, and almost the entire central corps has been completely disabled.
The Russian army quickly retreated, 5 kilometers away, the parts of the two wings were concentrated together, and Brusinov also arrived, he clearly knew that the defeat was decided, this was a big trap, he was not aware of the existence of the monster at all, he was calculated by the northwest, at this moment, everything is over, the Central Army has been lost, next, how to bring the rest out.
In the war room, although it was noon and the temperature was high, there was a dead silence in the war room, whether it was a senior officer or a young soldier, no one thought that things would develop to this world, and when they came, they were still full of ambition and wanted to do some work, and now, I am afraid that they can't even retreat with their whole body.
"What are those devils doing?" Brusinov asked with apprehension.
Because of the omnipotence of the offensive and defensive ends shown by the heavy tanks, even he had to be frightened, and the regiment of the regiment had begun to build a position on the spot, although there was no clear understanding, they invariably dug a big pit in front of the position, no matter how powerful the monster was, it was always a mobile thing, and the horse pit had a defensive arrangement in ancient times, which was the first time to think of it, with the length of the monster, magnified by 50%, digging a deep pit, they should not be able to rush in, The short 2-hour battle this morning made them extremely afraid of this monster.
"It seems to be cleaning up the battlefield!" The staff officers said uncertainly.
Brusinov felt a pain in his heart, the other party's merits were built on them, just 2 hours, like a nightmare, at this time yesterday, tell him that if you go further, there will be today's result, no matter who says this, he will think that the other party is crazy, just kidding, even if the heavy army cluster is facing the same number, or even two or three times the number of enemy troops, it is impossible to be defeated in a short time, and there are two wings of the army, they will quickly increase their numbers.
However, the Chinese adopted a new method of warfare, using an armored motor vehicle, to carry out a concentrated attack and division of them, the speed was far faster than imagined, it took only 2 hours, almost 500,000 troops, except for a few who ran out, the rest were wiped out, until now, the two wings are concentrated together, no need to order, the soldiers spontaneously build a large number of fortifications, for fear that if they dig a little shallow, there will be a catastrophe.
The frightened command is uncertain, there is no way to command for the time being, and they can only try to defend as much as possible, and then look at the situation, including Brusinov, are considering a possibility, whether they will not be able to go back to Russia.
At this time, a scout from outside walked in and reported: "From the direction of the copper mine, a batch of cars has come out!" ”
Cars, how many? Brusinov frowned and asked.
"A lot!" The scout said, "As far as I can see, there are at least 1,000 of them. ”
1,000 cars, this is a huge number, the whole of Siberia, the number of cars combined, whether there are 100 or not is a problem, even if you count Russia, even if it exceeds 1,000, it will not be much, I have long heard that the northwest is the birthplace of automobiles, is the place with the largest car production in the whole world, but all at once 1,000 cars are also very huge.
Brusinov recalled the appearance of a heavy car, which could accommodate at least one squad, or even two squads of fully armed fighters, so that it was 20 people, 1,000 vehicles, that is, 20,000 people, it seemed that the other party had already prepared, and the copper mine was a decoy, but he was fooled, and he crashed into it head-on, and suddenly hit his head and broke the blood flow, he knew that there was such a strong defense here, he would not be fooled, and the storming of the trading city would not be the same as now.
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine to take, Brusinov had to stabilize his mind and order the investigators to continue the investigation, and he set his sights on the map, how to change the status quo, at least, bring the rest of the personnel back safely. (To be continued.) )
