readx; Since the 105 mm tank guns are enough, the Chinese Army naturally has no need to build expensive heavy tanks, and this is the reason why the Chinese Army has not been in large-scale service with the replacement model of the B11 heavy tank. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time, whether it is a self-propelled anti-tank gun or a self-propelled howitzer, they all use the chassis of the old tank, and they are all modified with the chassis of a large number of B6 and B9 tanks in the Chinese Army, otherwise the cost is not easy to control, so it has also caused the self-propelled howitzers in the Chinese Army, and the types of self-propelled anti-tank guns are somewhat complex, with a caliber of 75 mm and a caliber of 105 mm. For example, the largest number of 105 mm caliber self-propelled howitzers in the Chinese Army have four or five chassis in the front and rear, including the chassis of the T8 tank, the chassis of the T6 tank, the chassis of the T9\12 series tank, and two specially developed chassis. The chassis of self-propelled howitzers of 75 mm and 155 mm caliber is also diverse, and there are even 75 mm self-propelled howitzers with wheeled chassis.

Among them, there are long-range self-propelled howitzers, infantry support artillery, such as self-propelled howitzers belonging to the weapon platoon in the tank battalion and the machine infantry battalion, they are not the long-barreled long-range howitzers of the division's self-propelled howitzers, but short-barreled infantry support artillery, which is what others call assault guns, which are very useful in street fighting.

Although the various types of equipment in the mechanized units are somewhat complex, none of this is important to us, the important thing is that we know that it is enough for these mechanized units to far surpass the traditional infantry divisions in terms of firepower.

As a first-line mechanized infantry division, the firepower of the third division is naturally extremely strong, a tank battalion and a machine infantry battalion are enough to charge the Russian army in front of it, and dozens of tanks and armored vehicles directly cut off the central connection of the Russian army.

"Very good, now that they have broken in half, the next thing is to clean them up separately and let the divisional artillery strengthen the artillery bombardment and support the front-line troops!" Li Yuting saw through the telescope that the division's tank battalion had cut off the Russian army with the cooperation of a machine infantry battalion, and immediately ordered to launch an offensive on all fronts.

When his order was issued, the 21st Regiment launched a full-scale attack on the right flank of the Russian army, and in order to allow them to make a quick breakthrough, dozens of artillery pieces of the division's artillery opened fire in unison, and carried out intensive fire suppression.

If this is a street battle, it is still very difficult for the Third Division to quickly defeat this group of Russian troops, but now it is not a street battle, but a field ambush with a plan to realize, and the terrain is gentle, which is extremely beneficial to the operation of mechanized troops.

"The 21st Regiment is still fighting well, with the strength of two battalions, it can impact the enemy front, especially the 211th Battalion is even better, it is even more impressive to take the enemy position, it is worthy of the sharp knife unit of our division!" Zhong Taiqing looked at the situation on the field, when he saw that the tank battalion cut off the Russian army, he already knew that today's battle was already a victory, and when he saw the main attack launched by the 221st battalion to break the Russian defense line, he knew that today's victory would be a big victory!

When the 3rd Division launched an offensive on the whole front, the 33rd Division of the Russian Army, which had just returned from the Western Front to reinforce Turkestan, was defeated on all fronts, and they did not even put up strong resistance, and the rout occurred almost as soon as they came into contact, which is not to blame them, mainly because the 3rd Division came too fast, and there was no time for them to prepare. The Russian army can't stop it at all, and if this one doesn't stop it, it won't be able to support it even more.

In the evening, in the headquarters of the Fourth Army, Li Lianyang had already received the battle report from the Third Division, looking at the battle report in his hand, Li Lianyang said: "The Third Division is fighting well, it seems that there is no big problem on the Turkistan side!" ”

"Yes, the Third Division is now taking the initiative to attack, and it has also defeated a division of the Russian army in one fell swoop, achieved the record of killing and wounding more than 2,000 enemy troops, destroyed more than 20 large and small artillery pieces, and captured a lot. In this battle alone, the 33rd division of the Russian army was basically knocked out of its sharpness, and it will also make the other two divisions of the Russian army have some scruples, once they do not meet and form an encirclement of Turkestan, then the third division and Turkestan are not in danger! Cao Yangqing next to him is also in line with the Tao.

"Now that Li Yuting has been blocked in Turkestan, it's time to see Cheng Zixian's actions in Ares!" Li Lianyang continued to read the battle report in his hand, and then said: "Send this battle report back to Nanjing!" ”

The reason why Li Lianyang urged him to send this war report back to Nanjing was naturally because he had his own ideas, the most important of which was that he needed to give an explanation to the State Military Commission in Nanjing and an explanation to Chen Jingyun.

Since China launched a large-scale offensive against the Russian Republic, it has not actually been very smooth, and the Eighth Army and the Seventh Army have been able to accomplish the predetermined operational objectives during the operation, but this is because the enemy they are facing is not strong, just some second-line troops and local garrisons left in the country by the Russian Republic, which is basically a mode of victorious march. However, in Central Asia and Siberia, that is, in the area under the responsibility of the Fourth Army and the Fifth Army, what they need to face is the front-line combat strength of the Russian army, although the strength of the Russian Defense Forces is not much, and the total is only less than two million, but it does not mean that the combat effectiveness of others is not good, to be honest, in terms of individual soldier quality, the Russian army, which has been fighting with Soviet Russia for half a year, has surpassed the Chinese Army. In order to supplement the lack of experience, most of the generals of the Chinese army also thought the same as Chen Jingyun, that is, relying on absolute superiority in troops and firepower.

Despite the superiority in strength and firepower, the Chinese Army's operations in Central Asia and Siberia are still not very smooth, so far Astana and Barnaul have not been taken, let alone Novosibirsk and Omsk, and now the northern front seems to have fallen into a stalemate stage, and the same is true of the southern front, so many days have not taken Ares's supply line to open the Central Asian Railway, which makes a group of generals in the General Staff dissatisfied with the slow action of the Fourth Army, It is rumored that several bigwigs in Nanjing have already suggested to Chen Jingyun, asking Chen Jingyun to remove Cheng Zixian, a general who is unfavorable in battle, although they are ostensibly dissatisfied with Cheng Zixian, but Cheng Zixian is his subordinate, and the Fifth Army is under the jurisdiction of the Fourth Army, which means that they are dissatisfied with Cheng Zixian on the surface, but in fact they have a lot of opinions about Li Lianyang.

Li Lianyang knows very well that although it is now the head of the national war, the Chinese side was not monolithic at that time, not to mention the contradictions and conflicts between the navy, land and air forces, even the army itself is also full of mountains and factions, and this struggle for power and profit happens every day.

And this contradiction reached a peak state after Chen Jingyun decided to set up the Eight Group Army, why? It's very simple, because there are now more than 30 active generals in the Chinese Army, and this is not counting those 20-something-old generals in the state of reserve. The Chinese Army has more than 30 active-duty generals, but how many are the actual positions of generals? The three general chiefs of the General Staff, the Equipment Department, and the Logistics Department, and the commanders of the eight group armies of the eight major group armies, that is to say, all add up to a total of 11 positions of real power in generals.

And this means that most of the generals have no real positions for them to serve, most of them are in the name of a member of the Central Committee of the State Military Commission, and then carry out work, and this kind of work has no specific name, it is all in various names, for example, in the past few years, Chen Yi's official title in addition to the Central Committee of the State Military Commission, is the military adviser of the Siberian region of the presidential palace, and the office is set up in the name of the adviser, and then responsible for the defense work of the Chinese army in the Siberian region.

And this kind of consultant title does not belong to the official position of the military, in a sense, it is more like Chen Jingyun's personal adviser.

There are more active generals in the Chinese Army, so the competition for actual positions is naturally more intense, after all, they are all generals who have come out of the war, even if they have survived their qualifications, they also have outstanding military achievements, these people will sit back and watch others lead a large group of armies outside the prestige, and they can only be Chen Jingyun as a consultant in Nanjing.

So as long as there is an opportunity, they will not mind pulling Li Lianyang down, and then sit in the position of commander of the group army themselves.

With these things in mind, it is not difficult to understand why the Nanjing side has a great resentment against Li Lianyang's Fourth Army for its slow action.

Li Lianyang knew this, so as soon as the Third Division won the battle on the Turkestan side, he couldn't wait to send a battle report to Nanjing.

Sure enough, as he thought, as soon as this battle report arrived in Nanjing, it made many people stop talking about it temporarily, but those people quickly turned public opinion directly to Li Yuting, as if the Third Division had nothing to do with him Li Lianyang if he won the battle.

Presidential Palace, Chen Yi said: "This Li Yuting's ability is still very good, a long-distance attack of more than 200 kilometers, not only took Turkestan in one fell swoop, but also took the initiative to defeat a division of the Russian army, which has caused more than 3,000 casualties in the Russian army, and its own losses are very small, it is the hard work of the third division that gives Ares enough time to launch a general attack, otherwise the Central Asian railway line will be difficult to fight"

Chen Jingyun naturally didn't know that Chen Yi's words had his own considerations, and he didn't mention Li Lianyang in the first half of his words, but pushed the main merits on Li Yuting, and also belittled Cheng Zixian by the way. As for the reason, in fact, it is simple, when Li Lianyang left the position of chief of staff, he did not recommend Chen Yi to take over, but recommended Lin Feitai to take over, but Lin Feitai and Chen Yi have always been at odds, in the early years, when everyone was still the division commander, they didn't like each other, and they didn't talk when they met later, and their respective factions also secretly fought a lot. Moreover, Cheng Zixian also has a close relationship with Li Lianyang, and Cheng Zixian's appointment as director of the Operations Department was strongly recommended by Li Lianyang, otherwise Cheng Zixian would not have been successfully promoted to lieutenant general and served as the commander of the First Army.

As for Li Yuting, this person's military rank is relatively low, just a major general, and it can't affect the struggle at the top, and this Li Yuting has a close relationship with Shen Gang and is a member of Shen Gang's faction.

The relationship between him Chen Yi and Shen Gang is not bad or wrong, so it is logical to support Li Yuting.

These few of them are all army generals, and they are all veteran generals, but they all have a big faction behind them, and they will fight back and forth if they have nothing to do, and Chen Jingyun also knows this situation, but he did not stop it, but sometimes he will take the initiative to push it, the army has mountains, and it is not terrible to have factions, I am afraid that they will be united and hug together.

What Chen Yi meant by today's words, Chen Jingyun can naturally hear it, after playing politics for so many years, if these small means can't be seen, he doesn't have to be the president.

But he was still the same as ever, not paying too much attention to the battle between them, the victory he needed! As long as his generals can bring him victory, then he will satisfy their power**.

This Li Yuting is still okay! Although Chen Jingyun did not personally experience the scene at that time, it seems from the battle report that this Li Yuting is still very greasy with Zuo Yugang's demeanor back then, decisive enough, and strong enough command ability, he is a good seedling.

With these calculations in mind, Chen Jingyun immediately said: "Well, send a telegram of commendation to the Third Division, and then ask the Fourth Army to report a list of meritorious generals and leaders, and reward them according to their merits!" ”

Although he did not explicitly say that he wanted to promote Li Yuting, sometimes he didn't need to say it too clearly, Chen Jingyun's words already meant that he had affirmed the combat exploits of the Third Division, and Li Yuting, as the commander of the Third Division, was naturally able to get the first place in the military exploits.

According to common sense, even if Li Yuting's third division captured Turkestan and defeated a division of the Russian army, this kind of record can only be said to be average, and it is not worth writing about, but within two days, Li Yuting, who was leading the troops to fight fiercely on the front line, received a letter from the Fourth Army, saying that Li Yuting was awarded the Golden Double Sword Medal, and someone from Nanjing would award him a medal.

A Golden Double Sword Medal, and it was the first Golden Double Sword Medal awarded in the war against Russia, which made Li Yuting feel that he was favored by God.

However, at the same time that Li Yuting was awarded, Cheng Zixian of the Fifth Army received an order from the General Staff, and the instruction signed by Chen Yi personally required Cheng Zixian to show the spirit of heroic fighting and lead the Fifth Army to conquer Ales as soon as possible. The whole text of this instruction was words of encouragement, but Cheng Zixian felt that his face was fanned, and his immediate boss Li Lianyang also had a gloomy face.

"Tell Cheng Zixian, just say that I will send troops to garrison along the railway, and let him send troops to accelerate the attack on Ares, I must see the results within three days!"
