Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 824 The Purgatory of the "T-28" Tank (2)

General Kenkichi Ueda, the commander of the Kwantung Army, concentrated all artillery and bombarded the center line of the Soviet Army's Arsenyev defensive position. This move really worked. A large gap was opened in the Soviet defensive position, and the Kwantung Army soldiers followed the gap.

Fighting fiercely inside, at the critical moment, General Timoshenko, commander of the Second Army of the Soviet Far East Military District, had no choice but to use his hidden strength, four armored brigades equipped with T-28 tanks.

More than a thousand Soviet tanks used only one counterattack to break through the incoming Kwantung Army, and chased and beat the Kwantung Army soldiers. Facing the torrent of Soviet armor, the Kwantung Army soldiers could not stand it.

It got strong and quickly collapsed.

According to this counterattack speed, in less than an hour, the advantages gained by the Kwantung Army at the cost of more than 100,000 soldier casualties will soon be lost. All the occupied peripheral positions will be recovered by the Soviet army. Kwantung Army Commander Ken Ueda

General Ji became red-eyed and ordered the Kwantung Army tank troops to immediately attack the Soviet tanks.

Ueda Kenkichi was furious, but the commander of the Kwantung Army's tank unit was an expert. He knew what kind of tank he had. If the Type 95 light tank faced the Soviet T-28 tank, he would be asking for death. He would go to the Soviet Union.

The muzzle of a human tank collided with the 15-ton Izu tank. The Soviet 28-ton tank did not need to fire its gun. Even a hard collision could break the little Izu.

Although a small number of Soviet-style "Qiha" medium tanks are also equipped (actually they can only be regarded as light tanks), the thickness of the armor and the caliber of the tank gun are not much better than the Dou tank. When driven up, it is still the Soviet Union.

A living target for people.

Seeing that the commander of the tank did not immediately execute the order, Ueda Kenkichi was furious. He pulled out his command sword with a "swish" and stared at the commander of the tank fiercely, as if he could kill the Kwantung Army major general with one knife. Now that the matter has come to this

At this level, if you hesitate any longer, it will not just be a simple matter of disobeying orders on the battlefield, but your life may depend on it.

The Kwantung Army tank commander was trembling with distress while issuing the order. This property was left in the hands of the Commander. There were eight tank regiments, more than 800 Type 95 light tanks and a

More than a hundred ***-type "Qiha" medium tanks immediately launched and rushed towards the Soviet tank group.

Even Timoshenko did not expect that dispatching tank clusters would achieve such an effect. As long as the outer positions were recovered, the Arsenyev position was held, and waiting for reinforcements from the Transcaucasus Front, one would be more confident. As a

A general with a very commanding mind would naturally not miss such a good opportunity.

Timoshenko ordered the troops to immediately prepare for an attack, following the tank group to regain the outer positions. The Soviet soldiers who were dizzy by the Kwantung Army's artillery fire also regained their spirits.

The brave performance of our own tank troops undoubtedly gave great encouragement to these Soviet soldiers who were holding on with just one breath.

The Soviet tank group advanced very quickly, driving the Kwantung Army troops out of the outer positions in an instant. The unforgiving Soviet tank soldiers formed a diamond-shaped attack formation and rushed directly towards the Kwantung Army's encirclement. These tank soldiers were focused on

Want to expand the results and open a channel for the troops.

This is also true. Facing the rolling Soviet tank swarm, the Kwantung Army's encirclement composed of soldiers' gunfire seemed so weak and vulnerable. However, they did not notice that the Kwantung Army infantry retreated very far away.

There was no confusion at all, and after the Soviet tanks passed by, the encirclement was closed again.

The capable Soviet tank group rushed into the depth of the Kwantung Army's encirclement. On the flat plain in the distance, black smoke rose into the sky, and the shadow of Japanese tanks appeared on the horizon. Although the Kwantung Army tank commander tried his best to avoid contact with

The Soviet tank clusters were engaged in a head-on battle. Under the commander's intimidation, the Soviet tanks and the Soviet tanks still met, and the largest tank battle in the Far East broke out.

The Japanese tank Angan Regiment was the first unit to engage in a head-on firefight with the Soviet tank group. As the first echelon, the fourth tank regiment of the Angan Regiment was equipped with forty Type 95 light tanks and fourteen

The Type 95 medium tanks are mainly composed of Type 95 light tanks, and fourteen Type *** medium tanks serve as the main assault force.

The commander of the regiment, An Gang Longze, was an outstanding tactician. He knew that the tanks equipped by his regiment were no match for the Soviet tanks in a head-on attack. As soon as he made contact with the enemy, he ordered the fourth tank regiment to attack in a gunfire manner.

The medium tanks were the vanguard, and the three Type 95 light tank brigades were arranged in a diamond shape on the left, right, and rear, and quickly attacked the Soviet tanks.

After receiving the order, the 4th Tank Regiment of the Angang Regiment immediately opened up full power. The Japanese light tanks rushed over like fierce horses that had been whipped violently, with patches of mud rolled up on their tracks.

Although Angang Longze's tactical arrangements were very appropriate, such an attack formation could at least cut off the attacking Soviet tank group in pieces. Then, the main force of the regiment could be divided and surrounded, and annihilated in one fell swoop.

Brilliant tactics cannot make up for the shortcomings in the equipment. The 4th Tank Regiment of the Angang Regiment had just fought with the Soviet tanks. Eight of the fourteen ***-type medium tanks used as attack arrows were killed by the Soviet army.

The T-28 tank was equipped with a 76.2 mm caliber cannon, which made the whole body burst into flames and then exploded, turning it into a pile of useless scrap metal.

The three Type 95 light tank brigades in the diamond formation were successful. More than 80 Soviet T-28 tanks were separated from the Soviet tank cluster. The tanks on both sides roared and entangled with each other, fighting together.

, the Izu tank was equipped with a 56mm smoothbore cannon. The shells hit the armor of the Soviet tanks. Most of them were bounced away, and only a few played a role.

Even if the Soviet T-28 tank is hit by a bullet, it usually does not cause much damage. As long as the tracks are not interrupted and the body of the tank is shaken, it can still continue to fight. The level of tank manufacturing between the Soviet Union and Japan can be clearly judged.

, nearly two thousand tanks started a desperate fight in the wilderness of the Far East.

In such a melee, the first echelon of the 4th Tank Regiment of the Angang Regiment lost 32 of the 40 Type 95 light tanks and 10 of the 14 Type 95 medium tanks.

The Soviet Army's T-28 tanks only lost 21 tanks, and the 4th Tank Regiment of the Angang Tank Regiment was almost completely wiped out.

Other melee battlefields have also become a nightmare for the Kwantung Army's tank troops. One after another, Japanese tanks were destroyed, billowing black smoke, and some even ignited fires. The Japanese tank soldiers, covered in flames, were miserable.

He screamed and climbed out of the cockpit, running towards the nearest puddle, trying to survive.

The three machine guns equipped with the Soviet T-28 tank would have missed such a good opportunity. After a roar, the Japanese tank soldier climbed out of the cockpit, with huge blood holes all over his body, and fell down beside the puddle of life.

In this battle, the Kwantung Army's tank troops suffered heavy losses. About 200 tanks became living targets for Soviet tanks. However, the Soviet tanks only lost less than 70 tanks. Soviet and Japanese armor

The first battle between the troops ended in a disastrous defeat for the Japanese, with a loss ratio of three to one.

The commander of the Kwantung Army, Kenkichi Ueda, who witnessed this tank battle, was livid, breathing hard, and his nose was almost crooked with anger. The tank of the Kwantung Army was so vulnerable that he immediately

Disappointed and angry, the Kwantung Army tank commander could not care less about the commander's face and quickly issued an order to retreat immediately.

If the battle continued, all of his more than 900 tanks would be wiped out by the Soviet tanks. The Kwantung Army tanks turned around one after another and ran away. The Soviet tank soldiers, who were deeply inspired by the victory, saw ***

People's tanks can't help their own tanks, their confidence has increased greatly, and they are red-eyed. They are not willing to let go of the opportunity to completely annihilate the Japanese tank group, and increase the accelerator to pursue them fiercely.

Finally, the Kwantung Army tank commander did not lose his mind and did not order the retreating tanks to run in the direction of the artillery position. Otherwise, after losing more than 200 tanks, the Japanese might lose most of their artillery. If

In this way, Ueda Kenkichi would definitely kill the Kwantung Army tank commander alive.

When escaping for their lives, the Japanese tanks took advantage of their high mobility and ran very fast. In the blink of an eye, they lost a large part of the Soviet tanks. The situation on the battlefield was one-sided. In front were the Japanese tanks retreating at full speed, and behind them were the poor tanks.

The Soviet tanks, nearly 2,000 in pursuit, turned the clear sky into a smoky mess.

The tanks ran away, leaving only the smoldering and burning remains of the tanks and the bloody corpses of tank soldiers on both sides on the battlefield. Seeing that this unprecedented tank battle ended with a complete victory for the Soviets.

The Soviet tank crew also wanted to achieve maximum results, so the tank group was divided into three groups, and the tank groups that had retreated in the past were outflanked.

An unexpected situation happened. The Soviet tank soldiers were pursuing the pursuit, but they unknowingly entered a swamp area. The soft ground and sticky mud became a nightmare for the Soviet tank soldiers. With a dead weight of 28 tons,

In such a swamp, it sinks deeper and deeper, the engine roars, black smoke comes out, the tracks slip, and the engine roars but it cannot move.

The senior officers of the Kwantung Army who had been observing the situation on the battlefield were dumbfounded as they looked at what was almost a miracle. The Soviet tanks that had been showing off their atrocities just now were trapped one by one like magic, unable to move. It was Ken Ueda.

Ji reacted quickly and realized that this was a golden opportunity to annihilate all the Soviet tank troops.

"Baga! You haven't ordered the tank troops to counterattack yet?" He cursed angrily, awakening the commander of the tank troops, and immediately gave the order to the tank troops to counterattack. After receiving the order, the Japanese tank troops turned around, and as expected, there was no

The Soviet tanks were pursuing them. What the commander said was true! He immediately became excited, like a group of wolves that had found a bargain, and fought back with claws and teeth.

The object to be torn apart was the Soviet tank that had driven them to pieces just now and was now tangled in the mud. This was cheap and the Japanese would not let it go.
