Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 793 The Final Blockade

Before Feng Jiwu had time to think further about the combat characteristics of the Soviet mechanized corps that he discovered on the Kazadwu Mountain Pass battlefield, the Soviet artillery fire began to extend, followed by tank groups and a large number of infantry. From yesterday

Occupied the position and began the attack.--%.net

This time, the Soviet tanks and infantry were much more careful. Not only did the attack speed slow down, but the number of tanks was significantly reduced, and the infantry increased a lot. They were also deliberately divided into several attack directions, and they could form cross fire with each other.

For support, the front row was composed of submachine gunners, and the protection of the tanks was also much tighter. If the Chinese soldiers came to blow up the tanks again, they would have to pass through the Soviet infantry defense line.

This is obviously Zhukov summing up the experience of two days of combat and coming up with the best tactical way to deal with Chinese soldiers in hand-to-hand combat, so as to avoid a swarm of group attacks and the Chinese soldiers taking advantage of the chaos to rush into the charging formation. Tanks and heavy weapons are ineffective. Zhukov took great pains to

, found an effective way to deal with the Chinese ** team.

When the Soviet tanks and infantry cautiously rushed to the abandoned position of the first brigade, they discovered that what they encountered was still the same situation as the first day. The Chinese defenders' positions were empty and thousands of rounds were fired.

The artillery shells only served to clear the position again and bury the bodies of the comrades who died in yesterday's battle.

The second defensive position was occupied by the Soviet army. The commander of the 7th Motorized Guards Division immediately reported the good news to the commander of the group army, Comrade Zhukov. After receiving the report, Zhukov frowned. The Chinese adopted the same method to block the attack.

After inflicting a lot of damage on the troops for a day, he took the initiative to evacuate the blocking position. This is a very smart strategy.

Avoiding being harmed by superior artillery fire, consuming your own ammunition, and dampening the vigor of the attacking troops, so that you can use your strength on the next blocking position. Is this the art of war that the Easterners admire? In any case, the troops still took a step forward.

Although it is only about one-fifth of the way into the Kazadwu Pass, it is better than standing still.

Since the Chinese chose this method of attack, Zhukov could only use tons of artillery shells to blast the passage bit by bit. However, he could not discover the location of the opponent's position before being blocked by the Chinese. "Order, the attacking troops continue to attack."

Advance, and immediately retreat after being blocked by the squadron." Zhukov issued a completely different order.

Since the Chinese use strategy, I will also change my tactics and use the advantage of artillery fire to kill the Chinese soldiers who block the attack again on the surface position.

The Soviet soldiers, who had obviously lost their spirit, continued to advance towards the third line of defense, which was the defensive position of the second brigade. This time, the Soviet soldiers did not take a short rest on the occupied position. Feng Jiwu also noticed that the Soviet soldiers

Subtle changes in the military's offensive methods.

He grabbed the phone and said, "Chen Jishan? You have to pay attention that this time the Soviet army's attack is different from the previous one. You can put some Soviet tanks and infantry in and cut them off from the follow-up troops. You can do it at any time."

Watch out for Soviet artillery attacks."

Feng Jiwu had already vaguely felt that the Soviet attack, the weapon Zhukov was most likely to use, was surprisingly smooth. The forwards had been deep in for a long time, but they were still not blocked by the Chinese army. Zhukov was puzzled. Could it be that he had made a mistake in his judgment?

? Or the Chinese will withdraw all their troops to the next blocking line of defense.

The sound of gunfire from the front suddenly rang out. Zhukov quickly lay down in front of the artillery mirror. What he saw made him extremely angry. The attacking Soviet troops, which included dozens of tanks and about two battalions of infantry, were cut off from the enemy.

When contacting the follow-up troops, the Chinese soldiers still emerged from the soil. The intensive firepower overwhelmed the infantry and made them unable to lift their heads. The Soviet tanks were probably frightened by the attacks in the past few days and did not continue the assault.

They just stayed in place and carried out artillery fire. In this way, they became a living target for the squadron's anti-tank weapons. From time to time, tanks were hit, emitting black smoke and flames. They fought for a while, in accordance with the commander's pre-war order.

, the blocked Soviet army began to retreat.

Zhukov was almost furious. The tanks and infantry that had been cut off from the retreat became the squadron's shield against his own artillery fire. If a covering artillery bombardment was carried out at this time, the effect would be much better. After besieging himself, who was already alone,

None of the Chinese soldiers in the small unit could hide in the hiding place.

At this time, the artillery staff turned around and asked: "Comrade Commander, the artillery group commander called to ask if the artillery bombardment can be carried out according to the original plan?" Zhukov turned around suddenly, his eyes almost spitting fire, and shouted: "You

Ask him if he has seen dozens of our tanks and nearly a thousand soldiers in the shelling area? If not, give him a rifle and go to the frontline to participate in the battle in person."

The artillery staff officer was dumbfounded. He had no idea that this normal question would make the commander comrade furious. Of course Zhukov knew that the purpose of the artillery commander's request at this time was to sacrifice the surrounded troops and in exchange for nearly a thousand casualties.

The largest casualty of the Chinese ** Corps, however, Zhukov could not make such a decision, nor would he issue such an order. If it were other senior Soviet commanders, it might be possible, but Zhukov could not.

Chen Jishan's Second Brigade was lucky. At this time, most of the troops in the brigade were besieging the small group of Soviet troops who were relatively surrounded. If Zhukov ordered an artillery bombardment, more than half of the troops in the Second Brigade would not be able to return to defense.

In the artillery hole, Chen Jishan, who was capable of killing, did not realize that he was facing such danger.

Feng Jiwu, who was in the headquarters, broke into a cold sweat. As soon as the blocked Soviet army retreated, he felt that something was wrong. Fortunately, a small number of Soviet tanks and infantry were surrounded. If the Soviet commander

If you are ruthless or unscrupulous, with a single overwhelming shell, the second brigade and the surrounded Soviet army will be wiped out together.

He grabbed the phone and said: "Chen Jishan, I order you not to be reluctant to fight. The battle will end within twenty minutes. The troops will immediately enter the artillery caves. The surrounded Soviet troops will be eliminated. This is the beginning of the Soviet artillery bombardment."

It was impossible for Zhukov to watch the small besieged troops being eaten by the Chinese. He ordered the retreating troops to restart the attack. More than a hundred Soviet tanks and nearly 10,000 soldiers who had just withdrawn to a safe distance had no choice but to

Reluctantly, the attack resumed.

Feng Jiwu's eyes widened and he muttered: "**, what tricks is Lao Maozi doing? There will be no fighting this time. There are no artillery shells. In such a battle, my troops have never been afraid of anyone. He ordered Chen Jishan,

Beat the old man hard and be surrounded

Don’t destroy the small Soviet unit immediately. Keep him alive. The Soviets don’t dare to fire.” Several brigade commanders who were watching the battle in the headquarters sighed, “Old Chen, this guy is really blessed, and he doesn’t have any tricks.

Cannonball, this battle is easy."

The attack of the Soviet 7th Motorized Guards Division in the Far East was repelled by Chen Jishan's Second Brigade. Moreover, Chen Jishan also found a small advantage and captured more than 300 sous for the first time in a positional blocking battle.

The army captured and captured eight tanks. Zhukov watched the advance

The attacking troops were like a wave of ebbing tide. After the attack, they were quickly defeated. Attack after attack, the waves splashed and flesh and blood flew everywhere. The soldiers who fell on the path of the attack were much worse than

I don't know how many times more troops are needed to rescue.

Seeing the small force disappearing into the torrent of Chinese, Zhukov slammed the table and said, "Order the artillery group to shell immediately, and the shelling time will be extended for thirty minutes." The soldiers of the Second Brigade who had just gotten into the anti-bomb hole,

Before they could take a breath, countless metal projectiles were flying at high speed in the sky, and the screams piercing the air made the hairs on their bodies explode and make them shiver uncontrollably.

Immediately, the ground began to tremble violently, and the sound of continuous explosions was heard all over the ears. This time, the Soviet artillery bombardment was particularly fierce and violent. Perhaps Zhukov was angered by the scene just now and used the artillery group used to guard against Chinese artillery.

, also use them all.

The Soviet artillerymen were so good at fighting that they simply took off their shirts and backs, and stuffed large shells into the barrel of the cannon. There was a loud "boom", flames spewed out of the muzzle, and a fatal shell was fired.

The shells screamed and flew towards the squadron's position.

The brigade commanders who were watching the battle no longer envied Chen Jishan's good luck. As expected, there is no free advantage in the world. Lao Maozi gave Lao Chen the shells he had accumulated for several rounds at once, which was enough for this guy to drink a pot.

Yes, the Second Brigade's position was completely covered by an indistinguishable number of explosive points.

The unusually long-term shelling did indeed cause unexpected casualties to the Second Brigade. The main reason was that individual anti-bombing holes could not withstand the long-term shelling. After the collapse, some soldiers were buried in the soil, and the artillery fire spread. The Soviet army began again.

A new round of attack.

The soldiers of the second brigade emerged from the ground. This time, they adopted the fighting style of the first two troops and entered hand-to-hand combat from the beginning. Suddenly, groups of Chinese soldiers with bright swords emerged from the ground near the Soviet tanks.

Before the Soviet submachine gunner had time to pull the trigger, Leng Sensen's blade had already reached his head.

It was another standard melee with cold weapons. All the senior commanders of the Soviet army groaned as if they had a headache. Damn it, why don’t the Chinese think of a different way of fighting? Bullying us Soviet Red Army soldiers who don’t know how to fight with bayonets?

The Second Brigade fought for a whole day, and the 7th Far East Motorized Guards Division, which had been replaced for the attack, had its backbone broken again, and became a tired division that had lost its edge. But Zhukov had no choice but to replace it with the Second Far East Red Flag Army.

, this ace team.

The encounters of the Far East Red Flag Second Army were similar to those of the previous units. On the third day of the battle, the Soviet army occupied nearly one-half of the Kazadewu Pass. This was achieved by Zhukov with more than 30,000 troops.

The corpses of Soviet soldiers, more than 600 tanks, and hundreds of thousands of tons of artillery shells were laid out step by step.

At this time, Tang Qiuli's two-wing encirclement of the 120,000 Soviet troops commanded by Lieutenant General Vuchkov had been completed. Feng Jiwu, who received the notification, no longer had any worries about the last day's blockade.

, he no longer wanted to defend passively, and wanted to use an active attack to end this three-day-long, bloody blocking battle.
