Chapter 346: Master Tank Gunner Zhang Shusheng: Yinsk Blocks(1/2)
,
spnOn October 7, 1945, Zhang Shusheng immediately received the intelligence about the Far East War captured by the Special Intelligence Department.
"Chairman of the Generalissimo, the Soviets have just launched an attack on us on the Breya River defense line with the infantry of more than five armies as the main force."
Benefiting from the smooth battlefield communication means, not long after Luo Feng walked into Zhang Shusheng's office, two generals, Jiang Baili, chief of general staff of the base camp, and Su Yuren, chief of operations, walked into Zhang Shusheng's office and reported this exact frontline battle report.
The size of the group army, about forty Red Army infantry divisions! Can the 8th Army and the 25th Army on the Breya River defense line be sure to block it?"
In fact, Zhang Shusheng rarely intervened in these local wars, and there was no need for a layman like him to give advice. But just like Hitler, a half-baked head of state should at least be more concerned about such a large-scale war than anyone else.[
"Yes, Chairman of the Generalissimo. The first-line defense group on the Burya River defense line is Qu Zhongyi's 8th
Group Army and Zuo Quan's 25th Group Army. These two group armies are elite full-scale group armies with strong positional warfare capabilities. With the help of superior air support and ground firepower, there should not be much of a problem. Judging from the situation on the front line
, although the Soviet troops at many points were fierce, their actual offensive firepower was not strong. They were seriously injured and the Soviet troops in the Far East had not yet recovered their breath."
Jiang Baili organized a capable staff to conduct an in-depth analysis of the Soviet army in the Far East, including its generals, force composition, equipment, as well as the Soviet army's own troop supply capabilities and the US military's armed supply capabilities, and conducted a pre-assessment of the scale of the war that the Soviet army might launch.
, the conclusion drawn is not much different from the actual scale of the Soviet offensive today. In terms of firepower intensity, air support, and ground armor strength, the Soviets did not perform as well as the expectations of the General Staff of the Republic.
, "Well, the Soviet army is nothing to worry about."
The Soviet army and the Japanese had suffered heavy losses after fighting for several years. They suffered even more heavy losses in equipment such as logistics aircraft, tanks and artillery. They were eagerly waiting for the Americans to bring in US aid to rearm them.
The strength of the Soviet army's 5g or even seven armies is already 70% of the total number of pre-war troops, which is already impressive.
Zhang Shusheng believed that the Soviet Far East Red Army was already a weak sick man in the Far East for the time being. Under the supervision of the First Political Committee of the Red Army, it would not be a big problem to fight a defensive war. It could even fight and catch its breath through the gaps in the defensive battle.
They fought in positions that looked like they were bullying the Japanese and won the battle, but their offensive capabilities were a few blocks behind those of the National Defense Forces.
In the face of the Wehrmacht's fierce firepower, effective air support, and powerful deep ground firepower, there was no armored group to tear up the defense line. In front of the Wehrmacht's trenches, the Soviet army's risk of death was much greater than the probability of a breakthrough.
, "What is the situation in other directions? Are the Japanese troops in Insk taking action?" Zhang Shusheng asked.
"Mobilization is frequent, and there are some changes in [Japan]'s country. If [Japan] wants to seize time and make the most of the Soviets, they may launch an attack early tomorrow morning. However, [Japan]'s Japanese aircraft over the sea
The number has increased significantly, and many small-scale air battles broke out with our destroyer fleet." Jiang Baili added.
, “This may be in preparation for airborne and landing.
At this time, maybe their paratrooper division is already on standby at the airport, and the landing fleet is ready to set off at night." Su Yuren raised his wrist, looked at his watch, and said, "There are still three hours until night falls in the Far East.
.The Soviets did not conduct sneak attacks at dawn, nor did they conduct raids in the evening. They chose to do so in the afternoon, but they did not hesitate to risk their lives to help the Japanese."
Zhang Shusheng smiled and shook his head, "The Soviets may not necessarily be willing. The Americans are definitely the most active. They have money and equipment. It is too easy to force the Soviet army to make some sacrifices. During the war, the Americans are still the strongest method in peacetime.
Instead of taking action against the enemy personally, we let others rush forward as cannon fodder."
There was a burst of laughter in the office. Socialism and capitalism, which were once enemies, are now united to fight against another so-called "evil country."
Regarding the Americans, Zhang Shusheng knew very well that during the war, their slogan was "Down with fascism and save the people of the world." During peacetime, their slogan became "The United States has the obligation to maintain world peace and portray [people] for all countries in the world."
Master Blueprint,.
While waving various slogans and waving dollars to buy people's hearts, using national prosperity based on the tragedies of other countries in the world as a sign, it has attracted some pro-American elements in various countries around the world.
In the blink of an eye, dark time came in the Far East. The Japanese still made no move, but the Soviets had occupied some crucial positions. Those were the ones on the other side of the river that were captured by the National Defense Forces crossing the river in the previous round of competition.
At the Soviet position, now, the [Chinese] Army retreating on the other side relied on the river bank fortifications to block the Soviet army. The two elite fully-equipped group armies faced five or six dissatisfied Soviet Red Army troops who were not fully equipped.
It turned out to be very handy.
Especially the 8th Army, which is good at positional warfare. On some positions, one regiment can withstand repeated attacks by a Soviet division.
In this way, on the 100-kilometer-level defense line of the Breya River, China and the Soviet Union were engaged in repeated tug-of-war.[
Different from the heated scenes of fighting in the northern Brya River, the Insk area is extremely quiet. Even on the firing line, there are only some sporadic gunshots. Those are snipers from both sides, sharpshooters followed by Shimmer and Searchlight, and even
It was the light rustle of leaves that caused random firing. Although this was a way to disturb the enemy, in reality, if it was really a matter of luck, it might also expose the enemy's sneak attack team in the dark.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Shusheng deliberately got up earlier than usual, looking at the white fish belly in the east. Before he finished his cup of morning tea, he received a call.
, "Chairman of the Generalissimo, [Japan] has launched a fierce offensive in Verkhovsk and Nizhnisk. At the same time, in Svetlaya, Japanese paratroopers are organizing an airborne landing, preparing to seize the beachhead. The landing fleet will also be in
We will dock in about two hours."
This break came not too early or too late. After all, although the Soviet Union's diversionary attack distracted the Wehrmacht's attention and some of its forces, it also "exposed" the Japanese army's actions.
As for parachute operations and landing operations, as long as there is no place to hide at dawn, discovery is inevitable.
, "What is Huo Weiguo's reaction?" "Commander Huo has ordered half of the armored group to block Upper Innsk, and the other half to encircle and suppress Svetlaya's airborne troops and landing troops. Lower Innsk is currently in an absolute defensive state.
.”
Zhang Shusheng hung up the phone. It seemed that Huo Weiguo had adopted a plan similar to the one in the battle report. He concentrated his efforts on blocking the Allied Armored Group in Upper Insk and divided his troops to deal with Svetlaya's several military divisions. Lower Insk due to
The pressure is relatively low, so we can only stick to it and wait for help.
After another phone call to Mao Yun, Zhang Shusheng had some breakfast and went straight to the underground science and technology center.
The underground science and technology center, which is highly intelligent and automated, quickly became operational after Zhang Shusheng entered.
, "Welcome Master!"
After Zhang Shusheng entered the two most secure inspection doors, he stepped onto the horizontal power-assisted track and soon arrived at Laboratory No. 3, which had been prepared the moment before he entered.
"Boss, everything is ready!"
With a slight click, an image of the little kid Zhang Bing was projected in the middle of the laboratory. He pointed to the simulated command cabin in the middle of the laboratory to indicate to Zhang Shusheng that he could enter.
Zhang Shusheng sat in the simulated command cabin, which felt not much different from the simulation cabin when playing virtual games.
"start up!"
The next moment, Zhang Shusheng seemed to have changed his body. He entered through the virtual world and arrived at the cab of the "Tianxing" manned chariot.
A standard combat cabin "shooting", simple design and layout, high degree of automation and intelligence allow Zhang Shusheng to easily control this human tank by himself, and it feels as if he is personally there.
, "Boss, just now the tank has been manually driven by personnel from the Special Operations Division, following the large troops out of security. This is Upper Insk."
Both Zhang Shusheng and the little boy appeared in the Tianxingren chariot in avatar form. With the wave of the hand of the little boy Zhang Bing, a clear field of vision appeared in front of the two of them.
That's the tank's view.
This Tianxing chariot disguised as Tiger 3 is now among a group of steel monsters.
The only road in Upper Innsk was already full of potholes, and more tanks were galloping in the fields and wasteland. The manned tank driven by Zhang Shusheng was advancing rapidly in a barren field and had just jumped over a half-meter high road.
The weight of the tank directly flattened the ridge into flat ground.[
Looking around, there are groups of tanks from far and near. In addition to the groups of tanks, there are also a small number of self-propelled artillery, but more of them are those guys who carry long barrels on their backs and park while running. They are self-propelled tracked anti-aircraft vehicles. They
It will be used as a supplement to the high-altitude fleet to deal with those low-flying Allied aircraft trying to deal with tank groups.
There is a torrent of steel on the ground, and the sky is even more lively. Looking up, in the morning light, the sky is full of planes flashing with golden light. Fighters from both sides collide fiercely. Almost every minute, there are many planes dragging long black smoke.
Fall, or be directly hit by the volley.
The air battle was decided by France for a while, but there were no bombers and attack planes wreaking havoc, which just provided fair fighting conditions for the armored forces on both sides on the ground.
, "Zizi--3rd company is moving closer to me, our target is area 12."
Zhang Shusheng was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses. It was the analog radio station that picked up the command wave of the tank company. Although his manned tank was a special addition, it also belonged to the ordinary sequence. Of course, the tank company commander
I don’t know what happened to this experimental tank with mysterious origins, but at this moment of fighting, no one can care so much. All we need to do is block it and rush in to fight.
A bunch of joysticks were pressed, and the Tianxing chariot's engine suddenly roared. The simulated engine sound of the No. 3 Tiger tank, together with the No. 3 tanks next to it, quickly rushed towards Area 12.
Area 12 is a thick forest, which is also the place where tank troops are least accustomed to fighting. This situation often occurs between the Soviet Union and Germany. One side ambushes a group of tanks in the woods, and the other side crashes into them. Although now No. 12
There is no ambush in the area, but the party that rushes in first still has the upper hand.
"Go at full speed and get in first!"
The depth of this grove was not very large. Under the order of the tank company commander, 20 tanks and the Tianxing chariot driven by Zhang Shusheng rushed into the grove.
No Japanese tanks were found!
But Zhang Shusheng, who was rushing at the front, discovered from the thermal imaging radar of the Tianxing Chariot that a group of Japanese tanks had crashed in at the other edge of the grove.
Naturally, the Tianxing chariot was not afraid, but if this tank company were to start a battle rashly, there would inevitably be some losses. Zhang Shusheng did not waste any time, and rushed forward with a bunch of joysticks.
, "The No. 3 led by the company commander's number rushed up."
Tiger No. 3, who was advancing rapidly in the small woods, suddenly found that a No. 3 car beside him suddenly accelerated and knocked down several small trees, and rushed forward quickly.
, "Huh?
No need to "meddle" in it.
, "Maybe it's a test tank sent from above."
We have already seen the No. 4 Tiger Company Commander. It is a big guy with thicker armor and stronger firepower. It is relatively more suitable for the Soviet Union and European battlefields. Its combat functions are somewhat similar to the German King Tiger.
As for No. 5, he had only heard that it was said to be a true second-generation tank. He believed that this tank that was suddenly incorporated might be responsible for some experimental tasks.
How could he have imagined that among the tanks under his command, there would be a manned tank driven remotely by the Chairman of the Republic Council himself.
Zhang Shusheng is really very satisfied with this Daxing tank. It is neither the stupidest driving method of a land suspension tank nor the clumsy driving method of a traditional tank. It can be operated with just one joystick.
, it is most suitable for him who has fast hands and sensitive reactions.
I looked at the radar system of the car and found that the nearest Japanese tank was actually Japan's latest Type 02 tank. This is a medium-sized tank that the Japanese army really got the technology to develop after defecting to the Germans. This kind of tank has strong firepower.
, the armor is thicker, which is a qualitative leap compared to the previous tanks and armored vehicles of the Japanese army. Due to the chronology of the Shenwu Era, it was named the Type 02 tank.
Although this kind of tank is not as good as the advanced tanks of China and Germany, it is comparable to the tanks of the Soviet Union and the United States. The Japanese army has placed high hopes on it, so it is no wonder that it will be used to lead the battle this time. You know, for the [Chinese] people
I have been suffering from headaches for tanks [Japan] for more than ten years, and I learned painful lessons from the war of aggression against China.
