readx; Battalion Commander Li's words made Xie Chabei a little uncomfortable, this was too arrogant, and I didn't know what Commander Gong of the 23rd Regiment thought, so he actually lined up such a person to assist him in the battle. Although the Russian army in front of www.biquge.info is not many, the firepower is very strong, not to mention machine guns and rifles, they have at least one company of anti-tank troops in their hands, although there are no traditional anti-tank guns, but there are 36-type rocket launchers.

And it is precisely because of the existence of these bazookas that Xie Chabei has too many scruples, although his tanks are not afraid of ordinary machine gun strafing, and even those small-caliber anti-tank guns and anti-tank guns can resist, but in the complex terrain of today's street fighting, it is not a small trouble to meet the enemy army with bazookas, in the attack just now, a T9 tank of a tank battalion under his command was approached within 100 meters by the Russian army, and then destroyed the tank with a 36-type rocket launcher.

Perhaps when it comes to large-scale wars, it is normal for hundreds of thousands of tanks to be lost, but in actual combat, the losses of tanks are basically accumulated in one or several units, and generally occur in complex battles. Although his tank battalion had dozens of tanks, it could not withstand such attrition.

"They are hiding in the rubble, and the 105mm howitzers we brought are not very effective, if you want to conquer this area, I am afraid that you can only use my tank to break through, but I am afraid that the loss will be small!" Xie Chabei voiced his concerns.

Unexpectedly, the battalion commander Li said: "There is such a trouble, your tank directly broke through, although it was not a problem to fight down in the end, but the loss was afraid that it was not small, and we had to come to the street battle in such a complex terrain." Besides, isn't it the job of our infantry to cover you! ”

After the two discussed for a while, they arranged detailed tactics, generally according to Battalion Commander Li's intentions, let the tanks of the tank battalion provide artillery support, and then the infantry of the mechanized infantry battalion entered this ruin, and then relied on the infantry to completely expel them!

As soon as the order was given, the commander of a tank company of the tank battalion began to make the final tactical deployment of the platoon commanders and tank commanders under his command.

Captain Qin said to a simple hand-drawn map on the ground: "The No. 1 and No. 3 areas are in charge of the three platoons, with two vehicles as a group, alternately marching to cover, remember, our task is not to capture their positions, but to suppress them, so we must control the time to stop and fire, after a long time, the enemy's bazooka will come over, I would rather not pursue the accuracy of hitting, but the firing time must be short, don't fall in love after firing, just find cover!" ”

"As long as we send the infantry fighting vehicle cover over there, our mission will be completed, and the infantry brothers will naturally take care of the rest of the matter!"

At the same time, dozens of infantry from an infantry platoon under Battalion Commander Li not far away were also gathered together, and there were several infantry fighting vehicles around them.

China's infantry fighting vehicle can be regarded as a new concept of armored vehicles, China's armored forces, in addition to attaching great importance to the development of tanks, but also attaches great importance to the development of mechanized infantry, the initial armored forces, the infantry to provide cover for the tank can only be regarded as motorized infantry, and later due to the lack of off-road mobility of wheeled vehicles, it is intended to be equipped with half-track armored vehicles, in order to improve the off-road mobility of mechanized infantry.

Although the off-road ability of the half-track vehicle is much higher than that of the wheeled vehicle, the half-track vehicle also has a huge drawback, that is, the off-road ability is not as good as the full-track vehicle, and the speed and reliability of the road are not as good as the wheeled vehicle. In addition, the Chinese Army also came to the conclusion after research that in the process of movement operations, a mechanized army, whether it is an armored division or a mechanized infantry division, most of their time is used to march, and this kind of march is mostly on the road, and there are not many real field marches, and they will often march in the field when they are close to the battle position.

For example, the Eighth Armored Division set out from Mongolia all the way, and the main sections of its advance were along the road, and it would only leave the road after reaching the front line of the battle, not that the Eighth Armored Division had climbed mountains and waded through rivers and maneuvered more than 100 kilometers in the field to reach Ulan-Ude.

That is to say, in the case of good traffic, most of the march, half-track wheels are not as good as wheeled vehicles, in addition to a very important reason, China's full-track vehicle development speed has been relatively rapid, and a variety of full-tracked vehicle modification models are also emerging in large numbers, such as the full-track tractor based on the tank chassis and research and development is the main traction vehicle of the Chinese Army heavy artillery unit.

The main long-range heavy artillery of the Chinese Army, the 155 mm cannons of the 1918, 1926 and 1933 models, used towing vehicles modified from medium tank chassis, and the 155 mm howitzers and some 105 mm cannons also used full-track towing vehicles.

The development of these full-tracked tractors and self-propelled howitzers gave the Army the idea of developing full-tracked infantry fighting vehicles, and after years of research and development and testing, a 1938 full-tracked infantry fighting vehicle was put into service in the late thirties.

This full-tracked infantry fighting vehicle is naturally not comparable with the infantry fighting vehicles of later generations, focusing on the protection of the surname and the small-scale mobile surname, although the use of rubber tracks makes it on the highway situation surname can also be good, but at the beginning of the design he is not used as a long-range mobile transport vehicle for infantry, but as a vehicle that carries infantry directly to combat positions on the front line, after all, the price of these full-track infantry fighting vehicles is not cheap, and it can not carry much infantry, No matter how rich the Chinese Army is, it is impossible to use these fully tracked infantry fighting vehicles as ordinary transport vehicles.

Because the price is not cheap and the number of equipment is not large, only a small number of units with mechanized infantry, such as armored divisions and mechanized infantry divisions, are subordinated, and a mechanized infantry battalion has only six vehicles.

Of course, the development of the Chinese Army all-tracked infantry fighting vehicle does not mean that it will give up the half-track armored vehicle, although the half-track armored vehicle also has many problems, but his off-road surname can still far outperform the existing wheeled vehicle, especially in those bad terrain in northern Russia, not only the thick snow in winter will seriously affect the mobility of the wheeled vehicle, but more importantly, after the end of winter, the permafrost melts, then Russia will become a huge swamp, not to mention the difficulty of wheeled vehicle mobility, Even a fully tracked vehicle will be swallowed up by the swamp if it is not done well.

The Chinese Army has been stationed in Russia for many years and has a deep understanding of the bad terrain in Russia, so far, China's troops deployed in the northern region, especially in Russia, still have a great demand for half-track vehicles, but these half-track vehicles are no longer used as front-line infantry fighting vehicles as before, but only used as transport vehicles, and the task of transporting infantry on the front line has been handed over to the 1938-style infantry fighting vehicles.

Today, in 1941, what is the surname of China's mechanized infantry division, including the following elements: The first is a composite force dominated by infantry. The second is long-distance maneuvering and artillery towing is mainly transported by wheeled vehicles and half-track vehicles, the third is to have tank assault forces, and the fourth is to have some full-tracked armored vehicles to carry infantry for direct combat.

Relatively speaking, the armored division is also the same surname, the difference is that the armored division has more tanks, and the infantry is relatively less, but the combat methods and weapons of the two are the same.

"Don't worry, the brothers of the tank battalion will cover us into the position, everyone must remember that the speed of action must be fast, and get off the car quickly when you get to the place, especially the brothers of the third squad, you are the first to act, and you must act quickly after arriving at the place, and you must establish a forward fire point within thirty seconds to cover the follow-up brothers!"

The lieutenant platoon leader is not very old, but he is tall and tall, and he speaks with a strong confidence: "As long as we move fast enough, we can break through to Building No. 3 in the interval between our tank support, and when we arrive here, we can condescendingly establish a blocking fire point to provide cover for the attack of our tanks, so that our tanks can safely pass through the street and provide us with the next step of fire support!" ”

After saying this, the lieutenant platoon commander looked around: "And everyone should be careful, pay attention to safety, bullets are not long-sighted, pay attention to yourself, don't throw your life here!" ”

At the same time as saying this, the lieutenant platoon commander also sighed a little in his heart, the danger of this operation is very high, as the vanguard of the entire unit, they have to enter the hinterland of the enemy, and then establish a fire point to cover the advance of the troops in the rear, in this process, not only need to face the heavy fire of the enemy when riding in an infantry fighting vehicle, but at the same time, even after arriving at the predetermined position, the enemy troops they face may be several times or even dozens of times their strength.

It is almost impossible to completely avoid casualties in such a dangerous operation, but there are no casualties in the war, only one day after the battle, he has already killed two people in this mechanized infantry company, and more than a dozen were wounded, and the tank company assisted by his company was also destroyed a tank, and none of the four tank soldiers in it could escape, and as soon as he climbed out of the defeated tank, he was swept by the Russian machine-gun fire.

But this did not affect the morale of this unit, and the representatives of the Kuomintang members of this platoon had already stood up and shouted: "For the revival of China!" ”

"For the sake of the country and the nation, this battle will be won!" The delegates of the National Socialist Party shouted loudly: "Long live China, long live China!" ”

The soldiers below also shouted loudly: "Long live China, long live China!" ”

The lieutenant platoon commander looked at the National Socialist Party representative and couldn't help muttering that these National Socialist Party representatives were very skilled in encouraging morale, and these two shouts boosted the morale of the soldiers.

"Alright, let's get on the bus first!" The lieutenant platoon commander lined up his palms: "Quick, quick, don't waste time!" ”

After more than 20 soldiers got into two infantry fighting vehicles one after another, the lieutenant platoon commander walked up to the second lieutenant of the armored corps one by one: "Please, Brother Shen!" ”

The second lieutenant surnamed Shen is also a young man, obviously not long after graduating from the armored corps cadet, and smiled honestly: "Don't worry, ensure that they are delivered safely, you are also ready, and when they arrive, we will immediately return for the second wave of transportation!" ”

A few minutes later, two infantry fighting vehicles drove out from behind the ruins of a building, and at the same time, the two tanks on the other side also drove forward quickly, and after quickly reaching a street intersection, the two tanks immediately stopped, and then the 75mm tank guns on them fired high-explosive shells! The coaxial machine gun on the tank also spewed out tongues of fire, and suppressed fire on a building in the distance, and after a short period of fire suppression, the two tanks quickly reversed, and then hid behind the ruins.

The battle has just begun!
