532 Soldier's Dangerous Move
The deafening roar of planes sounded over the battlefield. A bomber regiment escorted by more than 30 fighter jets was like a black cloud, rushing towards the battlefield.
Then, huge aviation bombs fell from the sky and roared to the ground and exploded.
However, what is surprising is that the aviation bombs falling from the sky did not make the violent explosions as they imagined. The black aviation bombs landed on the ground, and a series of "bang bang bang..." sounds like cracked clay pots immediately rang out on the battlefield.
There was no black smoke rising from the ground, nor did there be a huge fireball rising from the air. The large amount of liquid burning substances produced by the bomb explosion splashed around like flowers in the sky. At the same time, these splashing liquid burning substances quickly burned under the action of high temperature.
At the beginning, the burning flames were only scattered on the battlefield. However, as more and more napalm bombs landed and exploded, the scattered flames gradually spread around, forming fires with increasingly larger coverage.
When more than 30 bombers were dropped in one round, the entire position was covered by a blazing fire. However, the Russian bombers who had been cruising over the battlefield did not leave because of this. As long as they found that the fire was weakening, they would immediately drop a napalm bomb, causing the blazing fire to burn on the position.
The headquarters of the Ninth Army, when the Soviet offensive troops first heard that they used napalm bombs to attack the positions, the commander Luo Zhang did not take it seriously. In Luo Zhang's eyes, the reason why the Soviet army used napalm bombs must be that they had no choice but to use them when they had no choice.
Of course, there is another important reason for not taking it seriously, that is, it is that it is very confident in the positions he built. You must know that under the surface positions that have become a sea of fire, he not only built a large number of hidden holes for hiding soldiers and defending artillery, but also built a large number of tunnel fortifications. The tunnel fortifications is an important tactic and tactic fortifications in Commander-in-Chief Li Guosheng once mentioned in the training of officers at the regiment level or above of the National Defense University, which is specifically designed to prevent the enemy from using napalm bombs to attack.
As soon as the raging fire on the surface of the position was extinguished, the troops hidden in the tunnel fortifications could drill out of the tunnel like a gopher, and deal a fatal blow to the Soviet offensive troops on the already burnt surface positions.
However, as time passed by minute by minute, and the raging fire burning on the surface of the position still had no intention of extinguishing under the influence of the Soviet Air Force's continued to throw napalm bombs, the expression of the commander Luo Zhang gradually began to become solemn.
Although I was not sure what I was worried about, Luo Zhang, who had a keen sense of smell, had gradually felt that the attack that the Soviet army was about to launch must be different from the past.
Sure enough, just as Luo Zhang raised his telescope again and was searching for something in the position, a slightly panic report directly reached Luo Zhang's ears.
"Report to the military throne, report to the frontier forces, the Soviet Red Army began to attack..."
"What... the enemy's air bombing has not ended yet, how can it be launched? Isn't the Russians afraid of accidentally hurting their own people..." As soon as the report fell, the Chief of Staff's incredible scream sounded at the command center.
At this time, Luo Zhang finally knew what he was worried about...
After sighing, he analyzed to the Chief of Staff: "Chief of Staff, if the Russian Air Force dropped a plop aviation bomb, it may indeed accidentally hurt the troops that launched the attack. But don't forget. The Russian Air Force dropped a normal aviation bomb, but napalm bomb.
"You know, the fire field formed by a napalm bomb on the surface of our position can last at least five to ten minutes. Think about it. What can we and the Russian offensive forces do in these five to ten minutes?"
The Chief of Staff's shocked expression immediately became solemn. He replied in a deep voice: "As long as the fire on the surface of the position is not extinguished, the soldiers hiding in the tunnel cannot come out to fight. As for the Russians, they can directly push the front line to the edge of the fire under the cover of the tank..."
"Let me take a look.... No, military captain, once the Russian tank troops are pushed to the edge of the fire, there will be only less than 30 meters away from the edge of our position. A distance of 30 meters, the Russian tanks can rush to our position with one charge. Even if the soldiers rushed to the position for the shortest time to block the Russians, it is impossible to destroy all Russian tanks in just a few seconds and block the Russian offensive..."
Luo Zhang, who also looked increasingly solemn, said in a heavy tone: "Chief of Staff, this is what I am worried about. If the Russians only dispatch infantry to attack, at most we will fight in close combat with the Russian attacking troops and fight for consumption. However, the Russians will send a large number of tanks to attack us."
"At that time, as long as the old Russian tanks rushed to our position, no, as long as these tanks approach our position, our soldiers who kept pouring out tunnel fortifications will become targets of the old Russian tanks, and there is no room for revenge."
If the situation was so bad as Commander Luo Zhang said, then the first route carefully arranged by the Ninth Army not only did not hold on for half a day, but also took on a field infantry regiment hiding in the fortifications at this moment, which was obviously unacceptable to the Chief of Staff and others.
As soon as Luo Zhang's heavy voice fell, the Chief of Staff asked in horror: "Squadron, what should we do next? Should we just watch the 095th Regiment be destroyed under the attack of the Russian tanks, and watch the first line of defense be broken by the Russians. You must know that the task given to us by the General Office was for three days. The first line of defense was lost in less than a day. How can we fight the next battle..."
After shook his head helplessly, Luo Zhang quickly fell into deep thought.
Just when the second report from the front line: "The Soviet offensive troops were less than 500 meters close to the position" was transmitted to Luo Zhang's ear again. A trace of murderous aura was quickly emanating from Luo Zhang's body, and he said firmly.
"From the current situation, it is a dream to continue to let the 095th Regiment defend its position from the front."
Seeing the commander who had not yet said anything in front of him, he couldn't bear to look at the commander of the 092nd Division who was destroyed by a field infantry regiment, and he suggested in a panic: "Military throne, if it really doesn't work, let's use artillery. Use artillery to temporarily block the Russian tank offensive and buy time for the 095th Regiment. Five minutes. No, two minutes. As long as the artillery can give the brothers of the 095th Regiment two minutes, the 095th Regiment can rush out of the underground tunnel and block the Russian offensive on the surface."
In the absence of a solution, this idea is undoubtedly the only solution at present.
However, as the commander of the army and the highest commander on the battlefield in Outer Mongolia, Luo Zhang would never discard all his trump cards for the sake of an infantry regiment.
You know. This is the first day of blocking. If you consume all the limited heavy artillery on the first day and use up all your trump cards, how can you fight the next two days of blocking?
Therefore, under the expectant gaze of the subordinates, Luo Zhang shook his head very decisively. Then, he refused to his subordinates: "The artillery can't move anymore. Today we have lost a heavy artillery battalion, and we must not lose any more, otherwise there will be no way to fight the next blocking battle..."
Just as everyone's faces slowly showed a desperate expression because of their own answers, Luo Zhang's words suddenly turned and continued to speak: "However, we have no other way except to use heavy artillery in advance..."
"Military throne, what's the solution... as long as I can rescue thousands of brothers from the 095th Regiment... No, I don't say that I will rescue all the thousands of soldiers from the 095th Regiment. As long as I can rescue hundreds of people, I can leave a little seed. Even if I can lead the team to the position and fight with the old Russian tank troops, I am willing..." The commander of the 092nd Division asked anxiously.
Luo Zhang shook his head and replied: "The method I mentioned does mean hand-to-hand combat, but this hand-to-hand combat is not for you to go on, but for thousands of soldiers of the 095th Regiment lurking in the tunnel offensive..."
"Since we cannot block the offensive from the front, we will give the butt switch to the old Russians from behind the attacking troops. You must know that the weaknesses of the Russian tanks are all behind the butts. After paying us to launch an attack from the offensive troops from behind the attacking troops, the possibility of victory is definitely greater than that of the frontal blocking, and it is also possible to eat the old Russians from the attacking troops in one bite. However, in this way, we must do a huge price for the 095th Regiment to suffer heavy losses."
Before the commander of the 092nd Division spoke, the Chief of Staff had already taken the lead and affirmed: "This method is OK, although it is a bit dangerous. However, this is the best way for us to achieve the greatest victory with the minimum casualties and to defend the position. Military commander, I agree with this idea. I will contact the 095th Regiment immediately to convey our ideas."
While speaking, the Chief of Staff of the Army planned to walk to the telephone set beside him. However, the Commander of the Army Luo Zhang suddenly spoke: "No, this order is like pushing the 095th Regiment to the road to death. I will give such an order myself. Even if the soldiers complain, they will only blame me..."
As time passed by minute by minute, the fire that enveloped the battlefield finally showed signs of its expiration. At this moment, more than 30 tanks were responsible for cover, and more than 2,000 infantry were responsible for following up, and the Russian offensive troops and the Chief of Staff had estimated that the offensive front would be successfully pushed to a distance of less than 30 meters from the position.
Just when there were only some stars and flames left on the burnt surface position, thousands of Russian attacking troops seemed to have not felt the hot waves still emitted from the surface of the position, pressing towards the position with a roar.
Twenty-five meters, twenty meters, ten meters...
Amid the deafening sound of gunfire, the Russian attacking troops rushed to the defense force's blocking position without any sign of resistance as if they were entering a deserted state.
Although the Soviet colonel commander who was responsible for commanding the entire attack was very confused about this situation, the situation of occupying the defense force's position was a fact after all. What is more important is that the main contribution of capturing the front-line position of the defense force has fallen on him.
Therefore, he was excited and ignored all kinds of doubts in his heart. In order to take the top skills on himself as soon as possible, he directly ordered his subordinates: "Report to the commander immediately. Our troops successfully occupied the front-line position of the National Defense Force after bloody battles. In order to expand the results of the war, I have led my troops to continue to go deeper into the rear of the National Defense Force's position. Please send troops to reinforce our troops immediately..."
After saying that, regardless of the concerns and opposition of his subordinates, he left an infantry company waiting for the follow-up troops and resolutely ordered the troops to quickly cross the front line of the National Defense Force under the cover of tanks and penetrate deeper into the National Defense Force.
However, what the old Russian commander did not expect was that all his actions were seen by an observation post of the 095th Regiment. Subsequently, the Soviet offensive troops had crossed the front line, and the news that the Soviet offensive troops had only left an infantry company on the surface position reached the ears of the 095th Regiment commander.
"The old Russians are too arrogant. However, they are so arrogant. The more you are the principal, the more chances of my thousands of brothers in the 095th Regiment will have to survive..." After hearing the report, the leader of the 095th Regiment breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, with his subordinates looking forward to the expectant eyes, he ordered decisively: "Brothers, bring me grenades and bullets, hit him from behind the butt, and set off for me..."
"Woooooooo..." A string of slight whistling sounded on the surface of the position, and grenades emitting white smoke seemed to be free of money, and were quickly thrown out of the tunnel entrance by the soldiers. Then, a violent explosion sounded on the surface of the position.
With hundreds of grenades at the same time, more than 100 Russians on the surface of the position were blown into minced meat without any defense.
Then, the densely packed National Defense Forces were like gophers, and quickly rushed out of the tunnels hidden in the positions.
"There are all regiments, and the first battalion left a position to hold its ground. The second and third battalions, with the company and platoon, machine gun grenades leading the way. Quickly launch an assault on the attacking troops of the Russians. Brothers, it's time to take revenge. They all beat me hard." An angry roar came from the commander's mouth, and dense gunfire began to sound at the front line of positions that the Russians had just occupied.
Facing the sudden attack from the rear, the Soviet offensive troops, with high morale, obviously did not expect it.
Sweeping hundreds of flame tongues, the dense Soviet offensive forces were like mature wheat, cut into pieces and turned into corpses.
Of course, even if the Russians reacted and quickly lay down to the ground to avoid the attack of bullets from the rear. However, on the grassland without any cover at a glance, their series of actions were obviously futile. After the completion of a round of strafing of hundreds of general-purpose machine guns, submachine guns..., hundreds of grenades emitting white smoke quickly landed next to these Russians as if it was raining.
Some grenades exploded after they landed on the ground, while others exploded directly in the air.
The dense sound of grenade explosions and flying grenade fragments quickly formed a death zone directly in front of the soldiers. As long as the Russians in this death zone, no matter how they hide their bodies, they cannot avoid the dense grenade fragments.
In a blink of an eye, hundreds or thousands of Russians were killed and injured by attacks from behind.
Knowing that his subordinates could not block the steel storm behind him with their flesh and blood, more than 30 heavy Soviet tanks that had been rushing in front of the attacking troops quickly responded. They turned the guns and prepared to use vehicle-mounted machine guns and tank guns to destroy the defense force behind him who dared to attack him.
Although the old Russian tanks began to adjust the body and turret direction as quickly as possible, during the adjustment process, the weakest rear and side armor of the tanks was undoubtedly exposed to the soldiers.
Just as the Soviet colonel began to fantasize about the destruction of the entire army under the massacre of more than 30 tanks, dozens of rockets with orange-red tail flames behind him suddenly appeared in the sight of the Soviet colonel commander.
As the rocket got closer and closer to him, a desperate exclaim subconsciously came from the colonel commander's mouth.
"Not good, it's a rocket, avoid it, avoid it immediately..."
"Boom boom boom..." Before the colonel commander's exclamation had fallen, a series of dense and violent explosions rang out on the battlefield.
With just one round of more than 30 rocket attacks, more than half of the medium-sized tanks of a battalion of the Soviet army turned into scrap iron and a raging fire was ignited.
Just as the remaining dozen tanks of the Soviet army were stunned to avoid it, the second round of rockets fired by the National Defense Forces followed closely with them.
The explosion sounded again, and the remaining thousand infantry soldiers of the Soviet army finally began to panic.
Because they knew that they had lost the cover of tanks and were just inside the Wehrmacht position, there were only two ways to accept their deaths, including the battlefield surrender.
Surrender...Impossible...
Since the Sino-Soviet Battle spread a year ago that hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops were captured, the angry Stalin began to formulate more harsh military laws in the army. Any Red Army soldiers captured on the battlefield, regardless of their official position or reason, their families living in the country would be sent to concentration camps for labor reform.
Therefore, out of fear of military law, the Soviet Red Army, which had already fallen into desperate situations, did not put down their weapons. Instead, they shouted the unique attack sound of the Russians, and shot at the oncoming National Defense Forces while launching a counter-charge.
