Chapter 284: Both sides were shocked in the first battle

In the early morning, the "buzz~buzz~buzz~" roar of airplanes came from the sky above Harbin! Tu Qianjun sneered at Shang Dinan beside him in his forward position and said in a deep voice: "Tell Lu Shuai! I can't bear it.

The Soviet planes have been waiting for him to come over for so long! I will take down at least half of the Soviet planes this time!"

Upon hearing this, Shang Dinan said loudly to Tu Qianjun: "Yes!!" Then he went to Harbin City via phone to inform him!

But along with the roar of the plane, a large group of people slowly appeared on the horizon! Under the leadership of the chariot, they slowly rushed toward the forward position of the First Army!

At this time, rows of biplanes were roaring into the sky over Harbin! The planes flying to Harbin were not just for reconnaissance like the previous times. When these planes flew to the forward positions of the First Army, they roared.

Rushed down!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!" Suddenly! The position was filled with smoke! Dust was flying!

"Squeak~squeak~squeak! Boom! Boom! Boom!!" At this time, the Soviet army, which had rushed to the front and set up a position, immediately started shelling! Nearly two hundred artillery pieces fired at the forward position amidst the roar.

It was a crazy bombardment!

Under the bombardment of nearly two hundred guns, this position and even the second-line position were shaken! Tu Qianjun has now withdrawn to the command tunnel of the second-line position, where he is looking through the telescope at the dusty article on the forward position.

!

The shelling and bombing lasted for about twenty minutes! Then more than thirty planes were seen circling and rushing towards the city of Harbin, and in front of the formation, a dense crowd of people could be seen rushing towards the city along the line of nearly ten MC-18 tanks.

The frontier positions are coming!

Tu Qianjun used the telescope to look coldly at the Soviet army that was coming to kill them, and said to Shang Dinan beside him: "Has Qi Muden's camp gone up yet?!"

After hearing Tu Qianjun's words, Shang Dinan stood at attention and said in a deep voice: "The 33rd Battalion of the 13th Regiment of the 8th Brigade of the Second Division has entered the position! The match rope has been connected!"

Tu Qianjun nodded when he heard this, then raised his telescope and continued to observe the Soviet troops who were shouting "Ula!" and killed them! Tu Qianjun glanced at it and knew that this was the Soviet army's test attack force! It was not the main force, and then he

Then he said to Shang Dinan: "Notify the 33rd Battalion, don't let me withdraw yet! Withstand his first wave of attacks! Force out the main force of the Soviets!"

After hearing Tu Qianjun's order, Shang Dinan immediately responded loudly: "Yes!!"

Then he hurried down to deliver the order! Tu Qianjun looked at the charging troops and laughed. He didn't know who the commander of this troops was, but looking at this tentative attack, he knew that this guy was really cautious!

Continuous victories, equipment, and soldiers all have advantages, but he refuses to launch an attack at will! It shows that this commander is extremely calm and cautious. At this thought, Tu Qianjun couldn't help but wonder who the commander on the opposite side was.《》%网

Could it be Vasily Konstantinovich Bluukher, the current commander of the Soviet Red Flag Special Far East Army?! After all, he is the commander-in-chief, he wouldn’t come here so easily, would he?!

In fact, the person on the opposite side was indeed not Blyucher. It was another man who later served as the commander of the Soviet Don River Army. Together with the commander of the Stalingrad Front Army Yeremenko, he led his troops to fight against the German 6th Army that invaded Stalingrad.

After a fierce battle, Field Marshal Konstantin Konstantinovich Rokossovsky captured German Field Marshal Paulus in February of the following year!

Of course, now this marshal is just the commander of the 5th Kuban Cavalry Brigade of the Soviet Red Flag Special Far East Army. But at this time, his military talent has also been revealed, so he is valued by Blucher and will lead more than 40,000 troops.

Give him command! Let him attack Harbin!

At this time, more than thirty fighter planes had already flown into the city of Harbin! They fired a burst of "burst, burst, burst..." at the vehicles or positions suspected of transporting arms!

Perhaps the constant victories have made them relax their vigilance, or perhaps they are used to the fact that the Northeast Army does not have any anti-aircraft firepower. Therefore, these fighters fly very low! Even the people in Harbin can see the aircraft with the naked eye.

The faint silhouette of the driver appears on the top!

At this moment! The roar of artillery fire suddenly sounded in the city of Harbin!

"Boom! Boom! Boom..." Following this dull sound of artillery, the roar of light and heavy machine guns exploded in the city of Harbin!

"Tu tu tu tu..."

"Da da da..." Unprepared, nearly ten of the more than thirty biplane fighters were blown up by the volley! And about ten of the remaining planes were hit by the light and heavy machine guns! Risky

Black smoke fell miserably from the sky!

"Boom!" Although a fighter plane was not hit by the anti-aircraft gunfire, one of its wings was blown off by the heavy machine gun, and it fell miserably into the city of Harbin! A ball of fire broke out!

"Hit me!! Hit me hard!!" Lu Shuai of the anti-aircraft artillery regiment had red eyes. He operated an anti-aircraft gun and fired a burst of "Boom~Boom~Boom!" at the panic-stricken fighter jets in the sky.

The beating!

"Boom!!" Then a fighter plane was blown up by Lu Shuai's crazy shooting before it could climb higher! Lu Shuai didn't have time to get excited, so he turned the muzzle of the anti-aircraft gun and pointed it at another Soviet fighter plane that was about to flee.

Cum again!

"Boom! Boom! Boom..." After a fierce shooting, the plane was seen emitting black smoke and making a strange cry of "Boom~" before hitting the outside of the city wall! At this time, a fighter plane suddenly wanted to leave the battlefield.

!

It can be seen that the fighter plane rose very quickly, but it was extremely lucky not to be damaged by the firepower of the anti-aircraft guns and light and heavy machine guns! So it was about to rise to a height that was out of the range of the anti-aircraft guns!

"Hurry!! Intercept that plane!!" Lu Shuai turned around and saw that the plane was about to break away, and couldn't help but scream! Then he turned his gun crazily to shoot at the Soviet fighter jet that was about to break away!

At this time, a burst of "Boom~Boom~Boom..." was heard from the anti-aircraft artillery! And the Soviet fighter plane that was pulling up rapidly was suddenly hit by the artillery! With a "Boom!!" sound, it exploded in the air.

A ball of sparks!

"Hey! This cannon is so beautiful!" Lu Shuai said with a smile. To be honest, even if he took action, he might not be sure to take down this plane! What he didn't expect was that it would be killed like this!

Moreover, the man who operated the artillery was very familiar with ballistics, and his judgment of the speed of the aircraft was very accurate! It only took four or five cannons to hit the aircraft! Lu Shuai thought to himself: This guy should be commended, and then let him teach

Have some experience!

So he said to the soldiers beside him: "Go! Ask where the cannon was fired! Who operated it! I have to ask the commander for credit!"

"Yes!" The soldier who was carrying the artillery shells responded loudly after hearing Lu Shuai's words! Then he rushed towards the firing site.

At this time, this air battle was coming to an end. Not a single one of the more than thirty fighter planes could escape, and they were all buried in the city of Harbin! A total of nearly fifteen fighter planes were blown up by thirty anti-aircraft guns!

Most of the others were injured by anti-aircraft guns or light and heavy machine guns and fell down miserably. Lu Shuai could also think of one of the reasons for this. First of all, these fighters did not expect that there was anti-aircraft firepower in Harbin!

Therefore, we suffered a big loss all at once! Under the crazy attack of thirty anti-aircraft guns, thirty heavy machine guns, and fifty light machine guns, the entire army was wiped out! However, perhaps there is another reason for the total annihilation of the army this time: no

familiar!

These pilots were not experienced pilots, and they panicked when they were suddenly attacked! The formation was chaotic, and many of them forgot to pull up, so they were bombarded by the anti-aircraft firepower of the First Army with sufficient ammunition and large firepower coverage!

Lu Shuai chuckled, got down from the anti-aircraft gun operating position, lit a cigarette for himself, and smoked beautifully. He thought to himself: Just now, the "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, sound of the parts of the aircraft made when the parts fell from the plane after it was exploded just now.

So beautiful...

At this time, the soldier who had just been sent by Lu Shuai to ask who was operating the artillery ran back panting and stood up to Lu Shuai and said: "Report! Commander! I asked, this time it was the deputy commander who operated the cannon."

!That cannon was fired by the deputy commander!"

After hearing what the soldier said, Lu Shuai nodded with satisfaction at first, and then was stunned: "What?! What did you say?! It was the deputy commander who fired the cannon?! You are not mistaken, right?! The deputy commander has never touched

How can he operate an anti-aircraft gun?"

"..." The soldier was speechless, but he didn't know how to answer his regiment leader...

At this time, the 33rd Battalion, which had entered the forward position, was also engaged in a hard fight! The light and heavy machine guns equipped by the Soviet army kept blowing up the dust in the position! And the following infantry was surrounded by nearly ten MC-18 tanks.

Rush towards the position under cover!

The 33rd Battalion is a newly formed battalion, but the commander of this battalion, Zhou Cai, is an old man! He was among the first soldiers in the guard battalion who followed Tu Qianjun!

At this moment, Zhou Cai was holding a heavy machine gun and firing a burst of "burst, burst, burst..." at the Soviet troops who were shouting "Ula~"! And beside him, there were already soldiers with grenades bundled into a ball.

He pulled the match rope and threw it at the oncoming tank!

"Boom! Boom! Ta da da..."

"Tu tu tu tu..."

The Soviet army obviously did not expect to encounter such a big resistance. For a while, they were pinned down nearly a hundred meters in front of the position and could not raise their heads! And several tanks that approached were bombarded by homemade cluster grenades.

Got it right!

One of the tanks had its tracks broken off and was forced to stop. Some of the Soviet soldiers following the two tanks were tragically swept to the ground by the flying bullets!

The attacking Soviet troops initially thought that there would not be much resistance under the bombardment of aircraft and artillery fire, but they were obviously wrong! The First Army's counterattack was very fierce!

The first wave of impact left hundreds of corpses and a tank in front of the position! Seeing this, the Soviet army did not charge forcefully. After all, this was just a fire test attack, mainly to see the results of the artillery fire.

And evaluate the next attack.

The first attack was frustrated, and the Soviet Union immediately retreated like a tide without hesitation. The injured Soviet soldiers were also taken away. The attack ended in less than half an hour.

Zhou Cai collapsed on the battlefield panting, and said to the messenger beside him: "Go and tell the commander..."

But before he finished speaking, he stopped. Because the order soldier beside him only had half of his body left, his stomach had exploded, and the place was covered with blood. He stared at the smoke with his dull eyes.

The blue sky gradually dissipates...

About ten minutes later, Tu Qianjun, who was in the second-line position, saw the newly sent messenger. The messenger, smelling of gunpowder smoke, walked up to Tu Qianjun, stood at attention and shouted: "Report to the commander! The first-line position has not been lost! The enemy has retreated.

Already."

Tu Qianjun nodded when he heard this and said to the soldier: "How are the losses, brothers?!"

The soldier couldn't help but fell silent after hearing Tu Qianjun's words. After a while, he said to Tu Qianjun: "More than four hundred brothers were killed in the battle, and more than a hundred were injured..."

Hearing the soldier's words, Tu Qianjun couldn't help but fell silent. Although he had expected that this time would be a hard battle, he never expected that the Soviet army would lose more than 500 people in just a tentative attack!

Seeing that his commander was silent, the soldier explained: "The main reason is that the enemy's tanks are a big threat, and there are people behind the tanks. So as soon as we get closer, we have to fight them. That's why the losses will be huge."

Yes, but I'm not much better off! They lost at least seven to eight hundred people."

Tu Qianjun nodded when he heard this. Then he said to the soldier: "Is there anything wrong with your battalion commander Zhou Cai?! Is there anything you need on the position?!"

The soldier shook his head after hearing Tu Qianjun's words and said: "The battalion commander is fine, but the deputy battalion commander broke a leg. He was carried down. The situation is fine on the position, and there is ammunition."
To be continued...
