796 Artillery Chariot Battle
According to the analysis of the technical personnel of the Huaxia Army, the reason why the Russian artillery combat vehicles are much inferior to the invaded artillery combat vehicles is mainly because of the limitation of the engine.
The plundering artillery chariot uses the Diesel II engine, which is a diesel engine, which was developed by Diesel Diesel, the father of diesel engines in the Lin Fei era, while the Russian artillery chariot uses a gasoline engine, which is very similar to the engine of a family car in the United States, and the power is far lower than that of the Diesel II engine.
It turned out that in the process of developing the T-1 artillery combat vehicle, Russia did not receive the support of any country in the world, on the one hand, because Tsar Nicholas II was quite arrogant and insisted on independent research and development, and on the other hand, because Britain, France, Germany and other countries had mutual discord with Russia and were unwilling to provide technical support.
The engine technology of the Russian army is not good, so it is naturally impossible to equip artillery fighting vehicles with heavy armor, not only can they not be equipped with heavy armor, but even the ammunition capacity has been affected, and the T-1 artillery fighting vehicles can only carry forty shells and eight hundred machine gun rounds.
The T-1 artillery chariot is a replica of the exploited Raider artillery chariot, so it has a lot of shortcomings, such as not having any optical sighting system installed.
Lin Fei knew the importance of the aiming system, so he equipped his Raiding Artillery Combat Vehicle with the best (the best Lin Fei could come up with) optical targeting system.
On the artillery combat vehicle that deliberately invaded the enemy, the optical aiming system carefully developed by Lin Fei was particularly simple and complex, which made every imitator scratch his head, so the Russian army put a lot of energy on the imitation optical aiming system, and finally failed, and simply stopped equipping the T-1 artillery combat vehicle with an optical targeting system.
There are also loopholes in the walking system, there is a bad design on the plundering artillery tank, which will make the artillery tank very bumpy, people are very uncomfortable in it, and the Russian army has completely inherited it, under all kinds of loopholes, the T-1 artillery tank is obviously a failed main battle weapon.
As soon as the technical analysis came out, the technicians immediately reported to Lei Guang, and Lei Guang quickly made an attack plan for each combat unit, that is, when facing the T-1 artillery combat vehicle, the infantry first blew up its tracks with grenadiers, rockets and other weapons, making it lose power, and then the plundering artillery combat vehicle went around its side and back, and completely destroyed it with the main gun.
The 1st Panzer Division consisted of an infantry regiment of 1,000 men, equipped with 20 marauding artillery vehicles and 80 horse trucks.
When the infantry fought in tandem, the infantry followed the plundering artillery chariots on foot, and every five men followed one predatory artillery chariot, two of these five were riflemen, three were bazookas, one was carrying bazookas, and the other two were carrying rockets.
The number of rocket launchers in the Huaxia Army is small, and almost all of them are equipped with armored divisions, so the armored division can have more than 200 rocket launchers and more than 800 rockets.
With the passage of time, the 1st Northeast Division, the 2nd Northeast Division, and the 3rd Northeast Division have crossed the river one after another, of which the 1st Northeast Division is on the north side of Blagoveshchensk, the 2nd Northeast Division is on the west side, and the 3rd Northeast Division is on the south side, forming a three-sided encirclement of Blagoveshchensk.
The Russian army has T-1 artillery fighting vehicles, and the 1st Armored Division is of course the first, and the Russian army immediately dispatched T-1 artillery fighting vehicles to fight a decisive battle with the invading artillery fighting vehicles.
The first artillery chariot battle in the history of mankind was staged.
The T-1 artillery fighting vehicle did not have infantry to cooperate in combat, this is because the Russian army has not yet realized the importance of infantry coordination tactics, so in this battle, the T-1 artillery fighting vehicle suffered a big loss.
The predatory artillery fighting vehicles were the first to fire at a distance of more than a thousand meters from the T-1 artillery fighting vehicles, which was done solely to deter the Russian army and cover the infantry, because the shells at such a distance could not hit any targets.
Before the cannon was fired, the infantry had already jumped off the plundering artillery chariot, and in the dense smoke and dust emitted by the opening of the predatory artillery chariot, they took out the bazooka and aimed at the approaching T-1 artillery chariot, because the range of the rocket was only about 300 meters, so the infantry held back and waited for the T-1 artillery chariot to enter the firing range.
At this time, the T-1 artillery fighting vehicle and the plundering artillery fighting vehicle began to attack each other, because the T-1 artillery fighting vehicle did not have an optical aiming device, and the gunner's experience could only rely on the gunner's experience when shooting, and the Russian gunners were operating the T-1 artillery fighting vehicle on the battlefield for the first time, so the hit rate of the T-1 artillery fighting vehicle was far inferior to the plundering artillery fighting vehicle.
In the more than ten minutes of fighting, more than 20 T-1 artillery vehicles were hit, but none of the invading artillery vehicles were damaged.
As the T-1 artillery fighting vehicle gradually approached, the infantry of the Huaxia Army began to exert its power, one rocket after another fired at the T-1 artillery fighting vehicle, because these rockets used high-explosive warheads, and were not very effective against armor, so the infantry aimed at the weakest track of the T-1 artillery fighting vehicle.
The tracks could not withstand the heavy blow of the rockets, and after a bang and explosion, they broke and slid down, and the T-1 artillery tank was suddenly unable to move.
Seeing that the T-1 artillery tank could not move, the plundering artillery chariot immediately turned to its side and fired shells, the side armor of the T-1 artillery chariot was only fifteen millimeters, and it was as fragile as tissue paper in the face of the bombardment of the predatory artillery chariot.
The hard armor-piercing shells of the plundering artillery chariot pierced the turret of the T-1 artillery chariot again and again, killing the crew and detonating the ammunition, and the T-1 artillery chariot was blown into scrap metal in an instant.
The battle lasted for an hour, and under the blow of the coordinated tactics of the Chinese army's infantry vehicles, more than 200 T-1 artillery fighting vehicles were destroyed, more than 150 were destroyed, and almost all of the remaining 50 or so were injured.
Although the plundering artillery vehicles defeated the T-1 artillery vehicles, they were also depleted of their own shells and fuel, and were unable to fight again, so they did not attack again, but waited for logistical supplies.
There was a logistics supply regiment in the formation of the 1st Panzer Division, which was responsible for delivering fuel and artillery shells to the Panzer Regiment.
During this night, the Russian army did not carry out the slightest counteroffensive, and the disastrous defeat of the T-1 artillery fighting vehicle frightened them, which was considered by later historians to be the biggest defeat of the Russian army in the entire Outer Northeast War.
That night, the Huaxia Army was very busy, and the Zhouqiao troops erected seven pontoon bridges on the river, and the number of pontoon bridges increased to ten, and more troops crossed the Heilongjiang River through the pontoon bridges, and as of 6 o'clock the next morning, the 1st Division in the Northeast and the 6th Division in the Northeast had all crossed the Heilongjiang River.
Although the Russian army has anti-aircraft guns, in the dark night, the anti-aircraft guns can't see the target at all, so they can only let the Monkey King airship bombard indiscriminately.
The Monkey King airship dropped a fire rat incendiary bomb in Blagoveshchensk, and the raging flames burned in Blagoveshchensk, which deeply shocked the Russian army.
Early the next morning, with the support of the 1st Armored Division, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Northeast Divisions launched a fierce attack on the Russian positions, while the 4th, 5th, and 6th Northeast Divisions followed behind as the second echelon.
The Russian defense line is full of trenches, but in front of the Huaxia Army bridge chariots, these trenches are nothing at all, at this time the Russian army has not learned the lessons of the previous battles, in the previous battles, the width of the Russian trenches was too narrow, and as a result, the Huaxia Army bridge chariots easily erected improvised bridges and rushed over.
At this time, the trench of the Russian army was still only seven or eight meters, which happened to be within the bridge erection range of the bridge fighting vehicle, and was quickly broken through by the Huaxia army bridge.
When the Chinese army rushed through the trench, it faced the city defense of Blagoveshchensk, the periphery of Blagoveshchensk has no city walls, and if the Russian army wants to defend, it will have to fight street battles in Blagoveshchensk.
The commander of the Russian army, Romanevsky, saw that the Huaxia Army had broken through the defensive lines one by one, and had no choice, so he led the headquarters to retreat to Khabarovsk in the south, leaving the main Russian army to fight street battles in Blagoveshchensk.
Romanevsky's wishful thinking played very well, the main Russian army fought street battles in Blagoveshchensk, dragged the Huaxia army, and waited until reinforcements from Khabarovsk and Vladivostok arrived, and then wiped out the Huaxia army in one fell swoop.
But his wishful thinking was wrong, after the Russian army entered Blagoveshchensk, it did not fight street battles with the Huaxia Army at all, but surrendered one after another, there are two reasons for this, first, before the war, the Russian army was very trusting of the T-1 artillery fighting vehicle, thinking that the T-1 artillery fighting vehicle could defeat the Huaxia Army, but after a fight, it was found that the T-1 artillery fighting vehicle was defeated and its confidence was greatly frustrated.
Second, Russian soldiers are generally forcibly recruited into the army, and their will to fight is not strong, and officers at all levels arbitrarily beat and scold soldiers and deduct military salaries, resulting in low morale.
Street fighting is very hard, the most need for the will to fight, an army without the will to fight, can not fight street fighting at all, the Russian army is precisely such an army without the will to fight, so their defense quickly collapsed, on August 6, the Russian army did not hold out for four days in the street fighting, and more than 100,000 Russian soldiers surrendered.
On 7 August, Niu Dalong, commander-in-chief of the Huaxia Army, announced that the Battle of Blagoveshchensk had officially ended and that the Huaxia Army had occupied Blagoveshchensk.
This city, which has been separated from the Chinese nation for more than half a century, has finally returned to the arms of the Chinese mother, and the shame of Lin Fei's era has finally been washed away.
