readx; Chapter 742: The Battle of Olaf (2)

Olaf, this small battlefield was full of explosions, the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke filled the entire battlefield, and the shouts and gunfire of the two [***] people intersected, and the accompaniment of the explosions performed the most gorgeous chapter belonging to the forties.

Han Yihua squatted behind a bunker, and set up a temporary small command post behind this small bunker, in addition to covering the tank battalion to launch a charge, his troops also needed to undertake a large number of auxiliary attack tasks, and they couldn't let those dozens of tanks do everything.

"Major, the second company has been suppressed by the enemy's resistance!" The signal soldier with the short-range wireless communication system on his back was beside him, constantly passing on the latest situation on the battlefield to him.

Han Yihua frowned when he heard this, and then said to a first-class private herald: "Order the battalion to belong to the fire company, send two big bull chariots to support the second company, and go to Lieutenant Colonel Gan and ask him to deploy four tanks to the northern front to support our department in the battle!" ”

Sometimes, it's not just the infantry that provides cover for the tank, the tank sometimes needs to provide cover for the infantry in turn!

In the place where the gunfire was most dense, a sergeant with a 1936-style submachine gun ran quickly to the left, and when he ran in the open field, it was so obvious in the light of the explosion, the Soviet troops on the opposite side quickly reacted, turned the muzzle of the gun at him and began to spray tongues of fire, and the tracer bullets sandwiched between the many bullets made a bright trajectory in the second half of the trajectory.

With the guidance of tracer rounds from the Soviet machine gun, several other Soviet firing points also opened fire quickly

In an instant, bullets kept flying past him, and the ground under his feet was stirred up by countless bullets to stir up a little dust, even if it was only a second, his body would be full of bullet holes and he would die a heroic martyr.

Although Ouyang Han jumped out with the determination to die and took the initiative to attract the enemy's firepower, it didn't mean that he wanted to die in this ghost place, his heart was stirring at an extremely fast speed, his whole body was tense, and his thick thighs burst out of the greatest potential of human beings, and in that short period of five or six seconds, it was as if he was charging in hell, and a few seconds seemed to have become longer than a hundred years.

Just as Ouyang Han was running fast, the two 60-millimeter mortar groups not far away had already quickly measured the ballistic elements according to the exposed firepower points of the Soviet troops.

The expressionless sergeant mortar commander ordered: "Three rapid fires!" ”

As the order was delivered, the two 60mm mortars fired six mortar shells in a few seconds, and the Soviet machine gun position was freed up with exploding fire, and the sergeant commander observed with a telescope, but his face quickly became nervous.

"Damn, I only hit one, and there is only one left, Daxiong, do you let you play with so much live-fire training in your usual days!" The sergeant commander's face turned dark, and after scolding, he ordered again: "Three more rapid fires!" ”

A first-class gunner next to him said: "Sergeant, we have been exposed, and if we fight again, we will ......."

Before they finished speaking, a series of Soviet bullets had already hit them in front of them, and soon an explosion sounded around them, and the violent explosion wave directly lifted the first class soldier, and the blood was extremely dazzling in the light of the fire in the night

The sergeant shook his stunned head, looking at the corpse of his comrade-in-arms at the end, and his face showed ruthlessness: "You talk a lot of nonsense, just your crow's mouth!" ”

Shaking his body, he personally walked to a mortar, aimed, and then put down the shell, no matter what, he had to extinguish the Soviet machine gun fire point, this was not his will but a direct order from the company, in order to knock out these Soviet fire points, the second company has sacrificed at least seven or eight people, and at this time, the squad leader of the third squad personally ran out to attract them to fire, so that friendly troops can find the location of the fire point to strike, if he can't kill these Soviet machine guns, then the second company will definitely not be able to advance even one step.

As the moment after the mortar shell was fired, a series of Soviet bullets swept over, and the sergeant's right arm was instantly pierced with a large hole, and the violent impact force made him fall backwards, and the medical soldier who was sweating profusely next to him had just finished urgently treating the bandaging of a wounded soldier, and then rushed over, and after a hurried look at the injury, he took out a morphine needle and put it on the sergeant, and then used a bandage to bandage the sergeant to urgently stop bleeding.

The severe pain made the sergeant sweat profusely, but his mouth was shouting at the remaining mortar artillerymen: "Why are you still stunned, you can't fight if I die, give Lao Tzu a quick shot!" ”

As soon as his words fell, suddenly a series of explosions and fires came from the position of the Soviet army opposite, this kind of explosive fire was not as big as the shells of mortars or tank guns, the power of the explosion was a little small but very dense, in just a few seconds, more than ten shells were poured on the Soviet position, as a professional non-commissioned officer who has been in the army for many years, the sergeant immediately knew that this was the 20mm rapid-fire gun on the big bull chariot in his own army.

Da Niu Chariot, this is not the official name, the official official number of this half-track armored vehicle is: 1937 infantry fighting vehicle, is the second generation of half-track infantry in the Chinese Army's personnel carrier, with armor that can withstand bullets, equipped with a 20 mm rapid-fire gun, and can carry more than ten fully armed soldiers for mobile combat, and when necessary, it can also tow five or six hundred kilograms of artillery, this is a half-track combat vehicle recognized by the army as multi-purpose, widely equipped in armored forces, including armored divisions, mechanized infantry divisions.

The appearance of this half-track armored vehicle is actually not beautiful, and the armor is quite thick, so it can accompany the infantry to charge and provide fire support to the infantry in battle.

The intensive fire of the 20-millimeter rapid-fire gun of the Da Niu chariot immediately suppressed the firepower of the Soviet army, at this time, not far away, he had just jumped into a crater from the intensive machine gun fire of the Soviet army, and Ouyang Han, the squad leader who couldn't even get out of his head, was also relieved, at this time his heart was still beating violently, faster than the beating on his wedding night, just a few seconds ago he thought he was going to be martyred, and even thought that if he died here, Then his name should be engraved on the Chinese Heroes Monument on the Central Square of Nanjing, and then he will be posthumously awarded a bronze medal, then the soldiers of this life will not be in vain. Later, when I went underground, I saw those old comrades-in-arms who were martyred in Korea during the Second Sino-Chinese War, and I was able to show off one or two.

It's just that after he was martyred, he would suffer his wife and children at home, but he had been in the army for more than ten years and left thousands of yuan in savings to his family, plus his own pension, they should not have to worry about their future life.

In the few seconds just now, Ouyang Han ventured out of many ideas in his mind, but when he jumped off the crater, although his heart was still violently stirring, but at this time he was already happy to escape death, and he could run out under the enemy's dense machine gun fire, Ouyang Han had to admire himself!

Ouyang Han was glad that he was still alive, the battle outside was still going on, the 20mm rapid-fire gun on the Da Niu Chariot continued to fire, and the Soviet firepower was suppressed and quickly mobilized other firepower to counterattack, and soon the Soviet Army used a large-caliber anti-tank gun to strike at the Da Niu Chariot, although the Da Niu Chariot can resist the attack of ordinary bullets at medium and long distances, but it is also unable to resist the strafing of heavy machine gun bullets at close range, and it is naturally impossible to resist the face of larger caliber anti-tank guns. If it can be blocked, it is not called an armored vehicle, but a tank.

Soon, one of the bull chariots was hit by the Soviet anti-tank gun, although the bull chariot can still move, but the 20-millimeter rapid-fire gun above has stopped firing, it is obvious that the Soviet anti-tank gun bullet just now caused the 20-millimeter rapid-fire gun gunner on the bull chariot to suffer casualties or damage to the gun itself.

At the back of the fierce front, the captain and company commander of the second company saw this scene and clenched his fist: "Damn, when will those tanks arrive!" ”

A second lieutenant who had just graduated from the military academy next to him replied with a nervous look on his face: "The battalion headquarters said that they have requested assistance from Lieutenant Colonel Gan's tank battalion, and it is expected to be there in fifteen minutes!" ”

"Fifteen minutes? Didn't you say before that you could get there in five minutes, these bastards who delayed the military plane, fifteen minutes, hum, after fifteen minutes, the Soviet army would have already come up with reinforcements, and it would be a fart when the time came, let alone four tanks, ten would not be enough! When the time comes, we won't be able to take it here, so support the frontal front! The captain and company commander scolded in a low voice, things on this battlefield are inherently changing, every minute on this small battlefield is precious, and now the strength of the Soviet army here is quite average, but the Soviet army is not stupid to find that after they attack them, they will definitely mobilize troops from other places, and they are not the direction of the auxiliary attack, anything is not to contain the enemy, but as an initiative to try to pull apart the Soviet army's defense line from here, and then completely tear apart the Soviet army's overall defense line with points and areas.

The second lieutenant didn't dare to speak when he heard this, he was a standard rookie officer who had just graduated from the Wuhan Military Academy for less than two months, and there were hundreds of graduates of the Wuhan Military Academy in this period, all of whom were assigned to all parts of the country, many of them were assigned to the Northwest Theater, and there were five people who were assigned to the Sixth Armored Division, but he was the one who first came into contact with the war. Before going to the battlefield, he was full of meritorious service like all the cadets who had just been assigned to the army, and he wanted to dedicate everything he had to the rejuvenation of China, but when he really experienced the war, he found that the war was different from what he imagined, there was no heroic and magnificent battle scene that he imagined, there were explosions everywhere, bullets were flying, flesh and blood could be seen everywhere, soldiers with broken hands and feet covered the entire land, and the blood warmed the frozen earth, and these blood had their own comrades-in-arms and Soviet soldiers.

At this time, he really understood why those predecessors who experienced the Korean War would say two words when they talked about war: cruel!

War, no matter what words officials or artists use to beautify it, what heroes say, what they say for the country and the people or other things, but the most basic essence of war is the struggle between life and death, either you die or I die, and after experiencing the war scene personally, you will find that there is no other word to describe it except the word 'cruel'.

At this time, Olaf, the explosion and flesh made it a living hell.

Seeing that this second lieutenant was a little stunned, the captain and company commander did not scold or comfort him, if he couldn't even stand this scene, why should he join the army, and how could he sacrifice for the country and the nation. When he first went to war, he was like him in North Korea, at first he was so frightened that his legs were too weak to walk, but later he personally shot at least five or more soldiers, and he was promoted to lieutenant during the war.

Just when the captain was anxiously waiting for the arrival of the rear tank, a Soviet shell also fell nearby, and the air wave set off by the explosion made these two people covered with dust, but at this time, the captain and company commander still stood straight, stretched out his hand to wipe the dust off his face, and when his hand was wet, he found that his face was already stained with blood, and he turned around to see that the second lieutenant had fallen, and there were blood stains on his body, which was his blood.

"This rookie egg!" The captain quickly crouched down, then checked his wounds, only to see blood bubbling from the second lieutenant's body, the captain frowned when he saw this, he was shot in the right chest, if it was just a bullet hole, it would be fine, but it was shrapnel, and the wound torn by the shrapnel was the size of a fist.

At this time, the medics also ran over quickly, and then carried out a tense battlefield bandage, and bandaged it after laying down the pain-relieving morphine, but this kind of superficial bandaging could not stop the gushing blood, and the wound was too large to be rescued.

Even though he had been hit by shrapnel, the second lieutenant was not unconscious, nor did he let out a cry of pain, the captain looked at the second lieutenant with a painful face, took a deep breath and said: "My father said to me: You are an officer, and we [***] officers have their own pride!" I hope you can feel that pride, too! ”

The second lieutenant muttered as if to say something, and the captain leaned down to listen, and could vaguely hear: "I didn't escape, I didn't escape......"

"Good man, he is worthy of being the junior of our martial arts students, much stronger than the group of soft eggs in the Navy and Air Force!" Looking at the second lieutenant who was still muttering but was already beginning to blister with blood, the captain clenched his fist but said with a smile: "You are luckier than me, this just joined the army and occupied a place in the Heroes Monument, where there are many of our heroic predecessors, where you will not be lonely!" ”

Blood was still gushing out, the lieutenant's body began to soften, his eyes slowly closed, and he died.

When the captain stood up, he looked at the four T9 tanks coming slowly not far away, and he immediately walked up without showing any expression, and then walked up to an armored lieutenant who had just jumped off the tank and swung his fist: "Because of your lateness, do you know how many of my brothers have been martyred." ”

Looking at the bloodied captain, the armored lieutenant blushed, and then explained: "Sir, we were ...... on the way here."

The captain interrupted his explanation: "There is no need to explain, immediately launch an attack to support our department!" ”

The lieutenant of the armored corps almost bit his lip, looked hard at the captain company commander who punched him, then took a deep breath and turned to board his tank, and then rushed forward with his tank.

The second company, supported by four T9 tanks sent by the tank battalion, really broke the deadlock, and the T9 tank used his heavy armor and heavy fire to directly rush into the Soviet position, crushing all the Soviet troops in front of him.

When the second company attacked fiercely, on the other side of the battlefield, the main force of the tank battalion commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Gan was also in a tense fierce battle with the Soviet army, the tanks kept firing, and the machine guns on the tank never stopped firing, and countless firepower poured into the Soviet positions, compared to the casualties of the attacking Chinese troops, the casualties on the Soviet side were more heavy, and countless Soviet corpses and immobile wounded soldiers were left on the position, and those T9 tanks crossed the trenches, Overwhelmed the wounded Soviet soldiers who were still moaning, a twenty-seven-ton tank could crush them directly into a pool of flesh.

After an hour, the sound of explosions gradually became less and less, and the sound of machine guns was not dense, but intermittent, and a large number of Chinese infantry followed the tanks to break through the Soviet lines and enter the town.

In the temporary headquarters outside the town, Lieutenant Colonel Gan and Han Yihua stood together, Han Yihua said to a military map under the light: "At present, we have overcome the main defense line of the Soviet army, and so far it is roughly estimated that at least more than 400 enemy troops have been killed, and the remnants of the enemy army have retreated to the west of Olaf, and our army tried to pursue, but was blocked by anti-tank fire supported by the enemy, and there is no progress at present!" ”

Lieutenant Colonel Gan frowned: "The west of Olaf is a stronghold of the Soviet army, where at least one regiment of Soviet troops is stationed, and in the northwest direction, it is the main direction of the Soviet army, and the distance is not too far, they will definitely come back to reinforce after getting the news, and it will not be too easy for us to block it at that time!" ”

However, the lieutenant colonel staff officer sent by the division headquarters said: "Don't worry, you are not the only troops who launched the operation tonight, our entire Sixth Panzer Division and the 63rd Division have launched an attack on the Soviet troops in front of you. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Gan heard this: "Only two divisions of our Fourth Army? Didn't attack on all fronts, what about the other troops who didn't attack? ”

The lieutenant colonel staff officer shook his head and said, "No, only our Fourth Panzer Army has launched an attack at present!" ”

Although Lieutenant Colonel Gan wanted to ask why, he also knew that he didn't know during these periods, and it was estimated that the lieutenant colonel sent by the division headquarters didn't know either, so it was better not to ask, anyway, he just had to carry out the orders from above.

At the same time, on the front around Lieutenant Colonel Gan, the 6th and 63rd Divisions under the jurisdiction of the Chinese Fourth Armored Army launched a large-scale attack on the Soviet troops in front of them, and at the headquarters of the Fourth Armored Corps, 20 kilometers away from the front line, Lieutenant General Feng Yuxiang and a large group of generals gathered around a huge sand table in the combat conference room.

Major General Jiang Huitong, chief of staff of the Fourth Armored Corps next to him, said with a smile: "The news just came that the 632nd Regiment of the 63rd Division has defeated the strength of a regiment of the Soviet Army in front of it and occupied the predetermined position. And the temporary armored regiment under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Gan on the side of the 4th Panzer Division has also taken Olaf! ”

Feng Yuxiang nodded after listening: "Yes, the battle plans of all departments are quite complete!" ”

Two hours later, at 3:50 a.m., Feng Yuxiang said: "Send a telegram to Nanjing, report that our army has successfully completed the scheduled combat mission, and request instructions for the next step!" ”

At the same time, the Nanjing General Staff Headquarters was brightly lit, and countless soldiers were busily walking in and out, while a large group of generals gathered in the joint operations conference room of the General Staff, which was also updating the sand table in real time according to the battle reports reported from the front.

Zuo Yugang on the side was full of joy: "Feng Yuxiang's ability is still good, this fight is much better than scheduled, all the scheduled combat missions were completely completed two hours in advance, and the number of enemies destroyed is far more than expected!" ”

Chen Yi also said: "Since twelve o'clock last night, the blow of our Fourth Panzer Army has caused at least more than 3,000 casualties of the Soviet army, while the preliminary statistics of our army are estimated to be only more than 200 casualties!" This result was enough for Stalin to seriously consider stopping the attack on Finland! ”

If Stalin doubts that he wants to fight in Finland again, then Chen Jingyun does not mind expanding the scale of the war a little more, and taking action in advance can also get more buffer time, and it would be better if this threatening action could make Stalin see the reality and accept mediation.
