“…… GC tank soldiers, this is the last struggle, the decisive battle of the fate of mankind is today, the slaves of the four seas hold high the banner of righteousness, as long as we destroy the most stubborn imperialist army, they will fight with us! The teachings of Comrade Trotsky, Feradimir. Ilyich's last wishes, the foresight of Marx and Engels, will be fulfilled in our hands, for the liberation of all mankind, Soviet tank crews, attack! ”

At this time, the battle in the air ended, and after paying a lot of losses, the Soviet Air Force finally tilted hundreds of tons of bombs on the heads of the squadron. Next, it's time for the legendary Soviet tank that can sweep across the universe and liberate humanity.

After the impassioned speeches of the political work cadres in front of the battle, in a field of "Ula! And "Long live Trotsky!" Countless Soviet tank crews drilled into the T28 and T26 tanks.

The first wave of the offensive of the Soviet tank cluster began! On the 30-kilometer-wide front, more than 30,000 Red Army troops, nearly 400 tanks (including 100 T28/1932 with thickened frontal armor) are coming! The T28/1932 rushed to the front, and with their solid frontal armor, they met the shells fired by the raining Chinese howitzers, guiding hundreds of ordinary T28 and T26 tanks into a huge steel formation to slam into the Chinese position. Because the Chinese army's "Iron Fist" anti-tank grenade launchers had been spotted in the previous day's encounter, there were countless infantry carrying rifles or submachine guns to cover the tanks around these tanks. Shouting "Ulla! Ulla! The slogan charged together.

As the Soviet tank group approached, the Type 31 tanks hiding behind the half-collapsed sand wall in Yijing and the 45mm anti-tank guns attached to the cavalry regiment immediately opened fire.

Boom Boom Boom ...... The front of the Chinese position was suddenly filled with gunsmoke, and 45mm shells flew out of the barrels at a speed of 900 meters per second. Crashed into the front of the T28/1932 tank. But it is regrettable that except for more than a dozen T28/1932 tanks that stopped advancing because their tracks were blown up, the rest of the concentrated tanks only paused slightly, and then spewed thick smoke and roared towards the positions of the Chinese army!

"Long live the Federation of Great China! Long live Prime Minister Chang! "The Chinese daredevils, carrying iron-fisted anti-tank grenade launchers on their shoulders, rushed from the bunkers behind the sand wall to the charging Soviet tanks from the bunkers behind the sand wall.

"Don't let them get close to the tank! Mortar! Bombardment of the rear of the sand wall......"

In the face of the decisive assault of the Chinese army, the commanders of the Soviet infantry (cavalry) who accompanied the tank charge reacted quickly. Mobilize your subordinates to face your opponent. The machine guns on the T28 tank also opened heavy fire on every Chinese infantry who tried to get closer. However, a few Chinese infantry broke through the fire net and fired grenades.

Boom Boom Boom ...... In the midst of a continuous explosion sound. Several heavily armored T28/1932 tanks were smashed into large holes in the front, which immediately burst into flames and lost their combat effectiveness. Seeing this scene, more Chinese warriors began to charge with their "iron fists". Others suppressed Soviet infantry with Type 1931 automatic rifles, characteristic of Chinese panzergrenadiers and armored cavalry. This automatic rifle fires a similar density of fire as a light machine gun. Only the firing range was a little closer, and thousands of Type 1931 automatic rifles fired at the same time, which immediately caused great casualties to the charging Soviet infantry, and after suppressing the Soviet infantry, the Iron Fist anti-tank grenade launcher began to exert greater power, turning the dozens of T28/1932 tanks rushing to the front into a burning fire. The remaining Soviet tanks did not dare to rush blindly, but used their artillery to fire at the Chinese troops hundreds of meters away from the Chinese positions. The battle soon came to a fever pitch.

"Gong Wen, look, our people have blocked Lao Maozi's tank. Iron Fist is really easy to use! Zhao Zongyang, who was commanding the battle behind the Chinese army's battle line, pointed to the front line where the battle was raging, and said to Zhang Zhizhong, who came to watch the battle. Looking forward from the sand dunes where they were, the front line was filled with smoke, everywhere was the fire of the explosion and the smoke and dust stirred up by the shock wave, the guns and shouts and the roar of the motors were even louder, and the battle was almost in time for the Battle of Shuangchengzi in the Sino-Japanese War.

"Zong Yang, you kid has some ability, you can train the troops like this, but you are worthy of the Prime Minister's support." Zhang Zhizhong nodded and praised a few words, and then asked: "Are you going to shimeshihou put Lao Maozi's tank in to fight?" A war of attrition like the present one is a méiyou problem on the Sino-Soviet battlefield, and it cannot be put into the Middle East. ”

Zhao Zongyang naturally meant that Chang Ruiqing had already handed over to the senior generals of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. After the war was in full swing, they did not receive strong domestic support for a long period of time, nor did they receive a large number of reinforcements. The situation in the Middle East can only be maintained by them with the strength of two armies, so we must try to avoid a war of attrition.

"Wait, now it's just the first wave of the Soviet army's charge, our ruguo can't even withstand the first wave, Ubolevich is going to be suspicious (the Chinese side is not Zhidào commanding the Soviet tank cluster is Pavlov)." Zhao Zongyang said with a smile: "We plan to withstand the three waves of the Soviet army's offensive, and then retreat pretending to be exhausted, so that they will definitely put all the tanks in pursuit, they will lead them to the ambush site, use 75mm anti-tank guns to eliminate all T28, and then use Type 31 tanks to counterattack, and strive to defeat Lao Maozi's tanks, so that their tank army will become an infantry army!" ”

There is another reason why Zhao Zongyang and Lin Zuoda are deployed like this. That is, the number of Type 1928 75mm anti-tank guns in their hands was not much, only 60 in total. And the Soviets had several hundred T28s, and with 60 anti-tank guns, they couldn't beat Nàme more than T28s in any case. So they wanted to consume the opponent's tanks first, and then destroy them with 75mm guns. However, it was also reasonable for Zhang Zhizhong to be unwilling to let the troops suffer too many casualties, so he promised: "Gong Wen, don't worry, we are measured." There will not be too many losses in the troops. ”

"It's good for you to do it." Zhang Zhizhong smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and was just about to say a few words of encouragement when the shelling of the Soviet troops on the front line began again.

……

The sound of artillery was heard through the sky. Not only were the hundreds of artillery pieces of the Soviets desperately firing, but even the 180 105mm and 155mm howitzers of the squadron were no longer hidden, and they were also doing their best to fire ammunition in the direction of the Soviet army's assembly positions. At the same time, in the skies over the battlefield, fighters and bombers on both sides also launched another round of life-and-death struggle. However, this time, it was replaced by Soviet fighter jets, struggling to block the Chinese attack 2 planes, and dropped bombs on the heads of Soviet tanks.

Unlike the J-2, the J-2 is not a very advanced aircraft, in fact, this aircraft seems to be a bit backward. It is a quirky biplane with a stubby star engine. The pilot was uncovered, making it very pleasant to watch. The fuselage was neither armored nor canopy-free. But the aircraft perfectly embodies the philosophy of simple and practical design, with fixed landing gear with shrouds, sturdy wings, simple and reliable star engines, and even an open-air cockpit. This allows it to quickly strike from front-line airfields in rudimentary conditions. The aircraft's ground attack weapons are also very sharp, and its air force model has two 7.62mm aviation machine guns, four 50 kg aerial bombs or cluster anti-personnel bombs, which can cause great wēixié to enemy tanks and infantry.

The Soviet Air Force had long learned about the characteristics of such aircraft in the German intelligence network. Of course, they also risk their lives to block them from approaching their tank staging areas or artillery positions. As a result, hundreds of P.7 planes and 40 J-2 fighters escorted the 2 and 40 J-2 fighters.

Planes dragging thick black smoke continued to fall down in the sky. Hundreds of cannons on the ground roared at the same time, and countless fireballs and columns of smoke continued to rise, forming the most magnificent picture of war.

The smoke of the shelling had not yet cleared, and the dogfight in the air was still at the end, with the rumbling sound of motors and "Ula!" Ulla! The shouts resounded in the sky again. This is the fourth wave of the offensive of the Soviet tank cluster!

In the first three waves of the offensive, due to the desperate resistance of Chinese officers and soldiers, the Soviet attacking troops suffered heavy losses. The Iron Fist anti-tank grenade launcher, which was used for the first time in a large-scale tank battle, exerted its greatest power in front of the sand wall that the Chinese army was holding onto. Everywhere there were burning wreckage of Soviet tanks. However, the Chinese army also paid heavy casualties, in front of every Soviet tank destroyed by the "iron fist". The remains of loyal and brave Chinese soldiers are indispensable!

However, the losses of the Type 31 tank, which was hiding behind the sand wall, were not too great in the artillery battle with the T28. The T28, once a tank with high hopes from the Soviet Red Army, is now almost a defective product that makes people cry. The weakness of insufficient armor was also completely overcome, and the problem of weak firepower was again exposed. Their 76.2mm 17 times caliber tank guns can't beat the 30mm frontal armor of the Type 31 tank!

Of course, the 31-mm 45-caliber gun of the Type 46 tank could not cope with the thickened armor of the T28/1932 tank. As a result, the tanks on both sides crackled and fought lively, but the tank guns were really destroyed by a few méiyou, and most of the results of the destruction of tanks were actually achieved by infantry (cavalry) and howitzers!

After discovering that the artillery of the T28 tank could not deal with the Type 31 tank, Zhao Zongyang simply ordered the Type 31 tank to rush out from behind the sand wall where it was hiding to launch a counterattack on the Soviet tank group, and with the cooperation of the infantry (cavalry) using the Iron Fist anti-tank grenade launcher and the Type 31 automatic rifle, Shun Lì repelled the other two attacks of the Soviet Red Army.

Seeing that the three waves of onslaught carefully organized by Ziji were all repulsed by the squadron, Pavlov, the commander-in-chief of the Soviet tank forces, turned pale, and Yijing was a little hysterical. The Red Army's Middle East Front had high hopes for the tank units under his command, and the strength was extremely strong, with eight tank corps, five cavalry divisions, and more than 1,600 tanks alone (including equipment under repair). But it just can't beat the Chinese armored cavalry army in front of you!

According to intelligence, the Chinese have 15 such armored corps or armored cavalry corps! And the Soviet Red Army had 38 tank armies, and 1 Chinese armored corps/armored cavalry corps could deal with 8 Soviet tank armies, so wouldn't 15 such armies equal 120 Soviet tank armies? This also counts the Germans with hundreds of Panzergrenadier divisions and a dozen Panzer divisions being formed...... If this is the case, is there still hope for the shijiè revolution? Isn't all mankind going to be oppressed by imperialism and capitalism forever?

After jumping on his feet to reprimand his commanders and brigade commanders. Pavlov decided to take a desperate gamble and throw in all the tanks operated by Nénggou, and then a full 60,000 infantry (cavalry) soldiers. Prepare to flood those hateful Chinese revisionist armies on the opposite side with a sea of tanks and a sea of people!

"Commander-in-Chief. Throne, the enemy is pouring out! "Although I couldn't see the specific situation of the Soviet tank cluster, but hearing the roar of the motor that resounded through the world and seeing the thick smoke and dust covering the sky, Lin Zuoda said that the Soviets were going to fight hard this time.

"Look at this stance, there are at least 700 tanks! It seems that this is their general attack! Zhao Zongyang glanced back at Zhang Zhizhong, and Zhang Zhizhong nodded. Zhao Zongyang turned around and said loudly to Lin Zuo: "It's now, order the First Armored Cavalry Division to fight and retreat, and lead the enemy into an ambush circle." The 2nd and 3rd Armored Cavalry Divisions must hold on, and the armored regiment and the 58th Infantry Division are ready to counterattack! ”

"Yes!"

……

"Boom ......"

Another shell hit the frontal armor plate of the T28/1932 tank, in which Nikonov, deputy commander of the 1st Tank Army of the Red Army was riding.

"Is the tank alright?" Nikonov was not worried that the thickened frontal armor of the tank would not be able to withstand the 45mm guns of the Chinese, but that the tracks of the tanks would be hit by 45mm guns, so that he would be able to command Ziji's tank brigade on the spot to break through the revisionist enemy lines.

"Comrade Deputy Commander. It can still be driven. Our T28 is so sturdy! "The driver tried to start the tank, and after a while the tank rumbled forward a few steps, which showed that the tank tracks were safe and sound.

"Comrade Deputy Army Commander," the T28's on-board radio sounded, and the voice of Petrov, commander of the 1st Tank Brigade, was heard inside. "The enemy is retreating! Our brigade is about to break through the sand wall! ”

The 1st Tank Army was one of the most elite tank corps in the Soviet Union, with three tank brigades, each consisting of a tank regiment and a motorized rifle regiment, with 60 to 70 tanks. Unlike other tank armies. The tanks of the First Tank Army are all T28s, and there are a total of 210 T28s (including equipment under repair) in the whole army. And half of them completed the modification of thickened frontal armor and was the absolute main force in the tank forces of the Red Army. The commander of the 1st Tank Army was Pavlov himself, but he was now the commander-in-chief of the tank group and was responsible for the overall operational command of the entire group, so he could only be led by Deputy Army Commander Nikonov to lead the charge.

In the first three attacks, Pavlov deliberately hid this absolute main force, but now Yijing is a desperate general attack, so the Red Army's 1st Tank Army was arranged to take the lead. More than 150 T28 tanks that were still able to operate formed a wedge formation, more than 70 T28/1932 models with heavy frontal armor were in front of the wedge, the rest of the T28s followed, and more than 6,000 infantry (cavalry) men accompanied the tank assault. Straight to the center of the Chinese army's defensive line.

Maybe this Red Army First Tank Army really had two brushes, or maybe it was the first three rounds of offensive Yijing that exhausted the Chinese defenders. In short, the attack of the Red Army's 1st Tank Army was surprisingly smooth, and how many Chinese infantry with "iron pipe weapons" were encountered, only a few dozen Type 31 tanks used their 45mm guns to beat the thick frontal armor of the T28/1932.

And these Type 31 tanks also seem to have a lot of intentions to fight to the death, often firing a few 45mm shells, reversing and retreating a kilometer, and then stopping and firing, which is very yidiǎn...... The meaning of luring the enemy deeper!

"Comrade Deputy Army Commander, breaking through hǎoxiàng is too smooth, will the enemy put a trap in front and wait for us to drill?" The voice of another brigade commander of the 1st Tank Army, Rakovsky, also sounded from the on-board radio.

"No, it's not a shime trap!" Nikonov actually felt a little too smooth, but he ordered the attack to be stopped. Before the offensive was launched, the commander-in-chief, Pavlov, gave a death order to break through the defensive line of the revisionist army at any cost, assault all the way to their rear, and completely disrupt their deployment...... But Méiyou said to be careful in ambushing Shime.

Besides, the Chinese have something shime to deal with the heavy armor on the front of the T28/1932 tank? And these T28/1932 tanks are not alone, there are a large number of T28, T26 and countless heroic Red Army infantry and cavalry cover! In the rear of Ziji, there are also 500 cannons of various calibers, and hundreds of aircraft in the sky to help in the battle, even if the Chinese have an ambush, the Soviet Red Army can drown them all with a sea of fire, a sea of tanks and a sea of people!

Thinking of this, he picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted loudly: "Attention all GCIST tank soldiers, I am Nikonov, and now I order you to strike forward at any cost, for the cause of human liberation and for the future of GCISM!" Assault! Assault! (To be continued......)
