readx; In those years, tanks did not appear for a few years, and the use of tanks in various countries was still limited to breaking through trenches and supporting infantry operations, whether it was Germany, Britain or France. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoBut from the day of its formation, China's armored forces were built with the goal of reading combat in the mode of mixed armored forces.

After so many years, through a large number of tests and exercises, and after absorbing a lot of experience in the European battlefield, China's armored forces have gradually developed and matured, which can be fully understood from the development of China's tanks, with the first generation of T1 and T2 tanks, and then to the second generation of T3/4/5 tanks, and then to the latest research and development and supplemented by the third generation of T6/T7 two tanks, China's tank research and development and equipment have always been carried out according to the rapid assault theory proposed by the Armored Division.

For this reason, when the tanks of other countries are focusing on how to thicken the armor and develop towards the turtle speed and thick armor heavy tanks, China's latest T6 medium tank and T7 heavy tank are all equipped with high speed and long-barreled artillery, which is equivalent to the mainstream European tanks, and the armor is much weaker. In other words, now European tanks emphasize protection and firepower, while Chinese tanks emphasize firepower and maneuverability. European tanks, especially the popular heavy tanks, are mostly multi-turret, taking the Mark 8 tank equipped with nearly 1,000 units in the US army as an example, it is a classic multi-turret, equipped with multiple tank guns and machine guns. And these artillery pieces are also dominated by howitzers with short barrels.

Previously, Chinese tanks were also equipped with short-barreled howitzers, but in the T6 and T7 tanks, long-barreled tank guns were already used, and the caliber was not much, but these long-barreled tank cannons had excellent armor-piercing ability, and could effectively destroy enemy tanks if they encountered enemy tanks.

To be honest, it is difficult for even Fang Dashan, director of the Armored Division, to guarantee whether this rapid assault theory put forward by China will be effective.

And now, the first real combat of the armored forces has given them the time to test the effectiveness of the real combat effectiveness of the armored forces and the effectiveness of the rapid assault theory.

When the order was issued, Major General Lin Yongfei, commander of the task force, and Major General Wen Jizhong, commander of the 18th Division, commander-in-chief of the Karachinsk Campaign, and Major General Chen Weihua, commander of the 7th Division, conducted a detailed discussion of the battle plan. The plan was to use the battalion as the main combat force, so the tank battalion or the motorized infantry battalion adopted a four-company or even five-company system. For example, the main force of the armored forces: the medium tank battalion has an armored command company, two medium tank companies, and a light tank company, and each battalion has a standard establishment of 36 tanks, as well as some armored vehicles and transport vehicles. The motorized infantry battalion has three motorized infantry companies equipped with ordinary light machine guns and 60-mm mortars, a heavy motorized infantry company equipped with heavy machine guns, 80-mm mortars and anti-tank guns, and a motorized infantry artillery company equipped with four 120-mm heavy mortars and four 75-mm infantry guns. This is a large establishment of five companies, and the attachment of a motorized artillery company allows a mere motorized infantry battalion to directly have heavy firepower support.

This standard of firepower is also the level of the first-class powers during World War II! And it is precisely because of this dense firepower density that the cost of forming armored forces is so high that the army, which has a full 500 million military expenditure every year, has to drip blood, otherwise it would not have been possible to get a first armored division and a motorized infantry division until now.

Shut down

In fact, the firepower density of China's armored forces is too advanced, and the cost and gain are completely disproportionate, but why is there such a freak, which is completely seriously affected by the war on the Western Front in Europe, and the firepower density on the Western Front in Europe makes every Chinese general who joins the military observation group dumbfounded, and those Chinese generals who have fought in the civil war for several years have seen the spectacular scene of 10,000 artillery on the European battlefield, and they know that compared with the troops of the European powers, The superior firepower that they should be proud of during the civil war is simply not enough for others to see. When these generals were stimulated to return to China, in addition to repeatedly asking for an increase in the number of large-caliber artillery, the Panzer Division also used the firepower density of the Western Front in Europe as a reference when formulating the establishment of armored troops, and for the first time set up artillery companies under the motorized infantry battalions, in order to maintain the density of firepower in the face of the troops of the European powers in the future.

The large density of firepower of the armored forces directly led to the direct doubling of the cost of building the army, resulting in the delay in increasing the number of armored forces.

Although there are this or that problems, but the firepower density of the armored forces is high, then the generals who lead the troops on the front line are more welcome, and it is precisely by virtue of his own firepower advantage that Lin Yongfei dared to lead the task force armored regiment to the southwest to quickly rush forward, you must know that in addition to a tank battalion and two motorized infantry battalions, the task force armored regiment under his command has a motorized artillery battalion, equipped with four 105 howitzers and eight 75 mm field guns. In addition, there are a large number of auxiliary troops, and the total strength of one of his task forces armored regiment is more than 4,000 people, equipped with almost 40 tanks and dozens of armored vehicles, as well as numerous half-track transport vehicles and wheeled trucks. In fact, this is a downsized armored division, and it is not an exaggeration to call it an armored brigade.

Lin Yongfei led the armored regiment in the plains of West Siberia all the way to the southwest, followed by them by the cavalry battalion of the seventh division and the cavalry battalion of the eighteenth division of the second echelon of support troops, these two cavalry together have more than 1,000 people, in this predetermined battle plan, it is used as a motorized infantry on horseback, the main task is to cover the logistics supply line of the task force armored regiment that guarantees the front-line assault. The logistics transport unit composed of half-track transport vehicles also stretched for more than 100 kilometers to supply fuel and ammunition for the task force armored regiment on the front line, and in order to cooperate with the task force armored regiment, the infantry units of the 7th and 18th divisions in the front also launched a large-scale frontal attack.

The task force was simply to capture Tapek, south of Omsk, after crossing the Irtes River after running for more than 100 kilometers.

According to the reconnaissance report of the 26th reconnaissance squadron of the Air Force, it has been determined that Tapek is an important logistics supply base for the Soviet troops in the southern direction, and is responsible for the logistics supply of the Soviet troops on the Karachinsk front. At the beginning, Wen Jizhong also thought about sending cavalry troops to destroy the transport line from Tapek to Karachinsk, but the Soviet army had a cavalry division in this direction, and more than 1,000 cavalry under the two infantry divisions of China could not face the blow of the entire cavalry division, so after several disturbances, the losses were not small and they gave up this plan, this time, they were ready to directly end Tapek and completely cut off the supply line of the Soviet army in Karachinsk.

In fact, the basic strategic thinking of the Soviet army, the Chinese army and the Russian army in this battle is almost the same, that is, to knock out the enemy's supply lines, and then completely defeat the enemy's main forces. This is true of the Soviets in capturing Karachinsk, and the same is true for the Chinese in capturing Tapek, and who wins and who loses depends on who can cut off the supply lines of the other side for a longer time.

When Lin Yongfei led the task force armored regiment to Tapek, although the Soviet army did not have aerial reconnaissance, but their cavalry reconnaissance was not an ornament, and they soon noticed the movement of the Chinese army in the south, at that time they thought that the Chinese army would once again send troops to attack their supply lines, so they quickly dispatched cavalry troops to intercept it.

When two troops, both of whom also have high mobility speed, meet at an angle of nearly 90 degrees, the first cavalry and tank duel in history begins!

On the plain, one side is a steel monster emitting white smoke, and the other side is a strong tall cavalry, this encounter did not have much preparation on both sides, when the final commanders of both sides have not reacted, more than 500 cavalry of the Soviet army have already launched a charge towards a tank company of the Chinese army, a total of nine tanks!

When the cavalry shouted at Ula and began to charge at the steel tank, its momentum even scared the tankmen in the tank into stupidity, and then they could only hold the trigger of the machine gun, and then the muzzle of the tank gun also continued to fire shells.

After the shells and machine gun bullets were scattered in pieces, countless cavalrymen went to meet their Marx God, and when the cavalrymen rushed to the tank with red eyes and brandished their sabers, and then skillfully brandished their sabers and slashed at the tank, except for the dazzling sparks between the sabers in their hands and the tank, they did not leave a single scar on the tank.

The cavalry was desperate and slashed desperately with their knives, doing useless work while being strafed to the ground by the Chinese machine gun bullets in front and back, left and right!

After the sun gradually set, the sound of artillery and gunfire gradually stopped, countless cavalry and horse corpses fell around the tank, in this battle, no one on the Chinese side was killed or wounded, and nearly half of the more than 600 cavalry of the Soviet army who charged them were killed and wounded, and the rest fled in despair!
