readx; The southeast city of Barnaul, because this area has a relatively complete complex of buildings, but also solid stone and cement buildings, and the railway station of Barnaul is also in this area, so since the Chinese Fifth Army launched a formal large-scale attack on Barnaul, it has become an important area of contention between China and Russia.

On the 23rd, the 38th Division of the 10th Army of the Fifth Army, with the cooperation of a tank battalion, launched a large-scale attack on this area, and broke through the defense line deployed by the Russian army on the periphery and broke into this area, and then engaged in a tragic offensive and defensive battle with the Russian army.

Perhaps inspired by Soviet Russia, when the Russian army defended against the attack of Chinese troops, it often took the initiative to withdraw to the city, and then relied on the many buildings in the city for defense, that is, street fighting.

In the Soviet-German War, the war between Soviet Russia and the Russian Republic, Soviet Russia frequently relied on urban street fighting to defend against enemy attacks, and now Russia has also used this method to avoid large-scale field battles with the Chinese army.

This situation makes the Chinese Army a little helpless, if it is a field battle, then the Chinese Army can give full play to the mobility and firepower advantages of the armored forces, but in the street fighting, there are many restrictions, often thousands of shells hit the past, so even if Barnaul has been bombed into ruins by Chinese artillery shelling and aviation bombardment, but the Russian Defense Forces are still resisting stubbornly, and the intensity of resistance has not been weakened much.

The continuous street fighting is also the Chinese army to constantly adjust its tactics, and more importantly, it is urgent to strengthen the firepower density of light weapons of the front-line participating troops, specifically to equip more submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles, and in terms of heavy weapons, the army equipment department received a response that in the street fighting, tank troops and self-propelled anti-tank guns are difficult to provide strong support to the infantry in the street fighting in a timely manner, and the front-line troops urgently need an effective and widely equipped front-line support weapon.

At present, in the mechanized units of the Chinese Army, the divisional artillery is mainly equipped with self-propelled long-range howitzers, which have a relatively long firing range, and they usually stay in the rear for long-distance artillery support, and then in peacetime small-scale operations, they mainly rely on tanks and self-propelled anti-tank guns to support the infantry, and this situation is obviously not suitable. Therefore, the Army Equipment Department soon used the chassis modification of some old tanks, equipped with short-barreled howitzers, which did not require a long range, but only required to have a certain amount of armor protection and powerful firepower, and after getting it out, it was the so-called assault gun.

It is mainly based on the chassis of many old tanks, and then equipped with a 75 mm or 1005 mm short-barreled howitzer, which pursues the destructive power of buildings and infantry.

This kind of assault artillery is mainly assigned to the battalion-level battle group, because the armored forces of China today have actually given up the establishment of the regiment-level battle group, and the actual combat is based on the battalion, so in addition to the divisional artillery, the regiment-level troops are no longer equipped with support artillery, but directly below the battalion, a machine infantry battalion has a four-gun infantry support artillery company, equipped with self-propelled 75 mm assault guns or 1005 mm assault guns.

In fact, this assault gun is a self-propelled version of the regimental infantry support artillery in an ordinary infantry division.

On the south side of the Barnaul railway station, a street that has become a ruin is thick with gunsmoke, explosions and machine-gun fire, mixed between the two is the crisp sound of rifle fire.

At the corner of the street, a group of more than ten Chinese Army soldiers wearing brown and green combat uniforms bent on the waist, and in front of him was a sergeant with a bearded scum, the sergeant carefully poked his head out with a submachine gun, and as soon as he poked out, he was greeted by a series of bullets, so frightened that he quickly retracted his body, and said with a dark face: "Dog, the opposite side is a machine gun position of the Russian army!" ”

At this time, a corporal behind him said: "Li Ban, what should you do now?" ”

Sergeant Li took a few steps back, then squatted down and took out a scribbled military map, looked at it for a long time and said: "The company asked us to support the three, no matter what, we have to pass, otherwise the third platoon will not even be able to hold out at night!" ”

"But this will definitely not work to rush straight over, first suppress this machine gun position of theirs, and then we will go around from this side!" Sergeant Lee said, pointing to the map.

After glancing at the people behind him, he said to the corporal: "Zhangzi, your machine gun team goes to the roof of the building, and then attracts their firepower!" Then he said to a dark-skinned young first-class soldier next to him: "Erhu, you go to the opposite floor to set up a firepower point, and when they come up, they will fight Lao Tzu, and the others will come with me!" ”

Erhu hugged the 1916-style rifle with a scope in his arms and said, "No problem, as long as they dare to take the lead, I will send them to Lord Yama!" ”

Sergeant Li nodded: "Without further ado, let's act!" ”

At this time, Erhu took a private and walked along the ruins to a small building opposite, which was originally a three-story stone building, but at this time, like most of the buildings in Barnaul, it was in ruins, and only half of it was left, and even the remaining half seemed to fall down at any time.

The two of them climbed and rolled, and finally climbed up the remnant building that seemed to fall with the city, looking northwest from the gap in the ruins on the third floor, just enough to see the machine gun of the Russian army on the opposite floor is spraying bullets intermittently, and from the window, you can occasionally see a few Russian figures shaking, but due to the angle problem, the second tiger aimed but found that it was impossible to directly hit the shooter inside through the machine gun firing port of the Russian army, and it was also a hundred meters away from there, At such a distance, even the use of grenades could not effectively suppress the machine-gun fire of the Russian army.

However, he did not lose heart, but set up the rifle in his hand, and at the same time ordered the private next to him: "Chapter Seven, pay attention to the Russian troops around!" ”

Private Zhang Qi is not an accurate marksman, he is an ordinary rifleman, and the main purpose of the battle is to provide cover for the Second Tiger, conduct reconnaissance and provide targets for the Second Tiger.

Zhang Qi looks very young, it looks like he is about ten years old at most, and this age is also the average age of most soldiers in the Chinese Army, the age of the soldiers in the Chinese Army is not too old, generally speaking, he began to join the army at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and he was discharged from the army at the age of about twenty after three years of service, and even the average age was younger in the early years, a large number of soldiers at the age of sixteen or seventeen, but with the gradual improvement of the country's economic development, the compulsory education of the people has gradually become popular, and in today's rural areas of China, The age of children to go to school is generally late, and there are many people who are enlightened at the age of ten, and it is normal to be seventeen or eighteen years old after six years of elementary school, so after graduating from primary school, they will join the army, and the age is probably sixteen or seventeen years old.

Although young, he is also a veteran who has served for more than two years, not one of those who are only third-class or simply private.

Also lying on the ruins, Zhang Qi opened his eyes wide and observed carefully, and after about thirty seconds, he said: "At fourteen o'clock, a hundred distances, two enemy infantry!" ”

Erhu immediately turned the muzzle of the gun slightly, and through the scope, he could clearly see a hundred meters away under a ruin, two Russian soldiers were walking forward with a cat's waist, although they were hiding behind the ruins, but the ruins were not a very high or even continuous wall, there was a gap in the middle, and the height was not too high.

The two tigers began to aim, then estimated the direction and speed of the wind at this time, and put the aiming star on a gap in the abandoned wall, and the two Russian soldiers had not yet noticed that the god of death had led them to their heads, so they waited for them to walk to that gap.

As the two Russian soldiers crossed the gap, Erhu decisively pulled the trigger, and after a crisp gunshot, the Russian soldier at the head responded to the call, the left rib had been pierced by a bullet, and the blood quickly flowed out and stained his clothes red.

Erhu did not pause after shooting, immediately pulled the bolt to put the second bullet up, a few seconds later there was a crisp gunshot, the Russian soldier who fled from the queen was also hit in the thigh, and fell to the ground at once, at this time, Zhang Qi, who assisted Erhu in combat, also aimed and shot, although his marksmanship is not as accurate as Erhu, it may be difficult for him to hit a moving target or a long-distance target, but it is still possible to hit a stationary target that will not move at a distance of 100 meters, The bullet hit the Russian soldier who had fallen to the ground and was struggling to crawl to the bunker behind the rubble, and after being hit, the Russian soldier just didn't move, obviously no longer alive.

After killing the two Russian soldiers, they retracted and crawled to the other side of the rubble to avoid the Russians from detecting them and returning fire with suppressed fire.

Similar battles took place on every front in Barnaul, and although the machine guns and assault guns were fierce in street fighting, a considerable part of the results were also achieved by rifle fire from accurate marksmen, not only in the Chinese army, but also on the Russian side.

Fighting in the streets is far more dangerous than fighting in the wilderness, and many times you might as well know where the danger is coming from.

When the second tiger suppressed the Russian army with accurate shooting, Zhang Zi on the other side also took the machine gun team to find a position, and then set up the machine gun in his hand, and suppressed the Russian position in the distance.
