Chapter 3044 70 to 3

The situation that the Japanese army expected to be able to stop or at least delay the Red Army's offensive did not occur.

The leading army's infantry and tank joint attack forces that came all the way broke the temporary defense organized by the Japanese army on the open plain terrain.

Everywhere was like a broken house with holes everywhere, with holes in it.

The two infantry battalions under the 101st Regiment were all put into battle, but the two battalions on paper actually had less than a thousand soldiers.

The rest were either blown up by the Red Army in the destructive artillery bombardment not long ago, or died on the roadside after they could not hold up their broken bodies.

With such a small number of troops without preset positions and long-range fire support, it was nothing but a pipe dream to stop the infantry and tank joint charge led by Alsim.

The Japanese army, which was unable to resist, soon found that they could not bear this force at all. They had no choice but to put another team that they did not want to use or would only use when it was absolutely necessary into the battle, that is, the cavalry brigade that had just cleaned up the "Pro-horse Rebellion".

The devil's idea was actually very simple.

The ancient cavalry was undoubtedly a technical branch of the army. Compared with ordinary infantry who could be thrown into the battlefield after training with a clockwork gun for two or three weeks or a few months, the training cost of cavalry was undoubtedly quite high.

First of all, horsemanship itself was not a skill that everyone could practice. There were not many recruits who could hold their horses, and it was even more difficult to select those who could still fight on horseback.

Horseback archery, horseback riding and slashing, and horse-man coordination training all took much longer time than training an infantryman, and had a higher elimination rate.

Spending time on training did not necessarily mean that a qualified cavalryman could be trained. If things went wrong, there would be a mess where someone accidentally fell off the horse and was trampled to death by the horse.

Not to mention that the selection and training of war horses is also a cost. The amount of food consumed by a pair of cavalrymen is equivalent to that of a regular infantry squad. You can even say that a qualified war horse itself is a "high-value technical equipment".

Now the war horses are almost dead, most of them were killed by the Russians.

In addition, the crazy horses were out of control and were forced to kill a bunch of them. It was not easy to control the scene of the crazy horses running around. The remaining war horses were already very few and could not form an army.

The Japanese suffered heavy losses and were already painful enough. If the cavalry, whose training cost was higher than the war horses themselves, were also involved, the degree of discomfort would be comparable to cutting the Japanese meat with a knife.

It can only be said that the Japanese army's idea is good.

Try to keep the cavalry without horses as much as possible, keep the seeds, and after a little rest and matching with new war horses in the future, they will be a qualified cavalry force again.

But obviously, the huge battlefield pressure does not allow the Japanese to do this at all. If the cavalry without horses is hidden, they will be finished immediately.

With no other choice, they could only send the cavalry who had lost their horses to the battlefield.

These Japanese cavalry, who did not use the Type 38 rifle but the latest Type 99 cavalry rifle of the Kwantung Army, were even less powerful than regular infantry without their horses.

At least regular infantry had light and heavy machine guns, mortars, and grenade launchers, but these cavalry without horses only had cavalry rifles in their hands to rely on.

As for drawing sabers to launch a charge, you Japanese should first ask the Kalashnikov on the opposite side if he agrees.

Seeing a group of Japanese soldiers rushing to the front from behind and joining the battle, the sharp-eyed Alsim saw the key details at a glance.

"It seems that the Japanese devils have no tricks. The cavalry without horses are sent to die."

"Come on! Keep attacking! I want to see how long these Japanese bow-legged soldiers can hold on!"

The Japanese soldiers holding lances and sabers on their waists exposed their identities as soon as they went into battle. Alsim knew that the Japanese soldiers dressed like this must not be ordinary infantry.

Such a high-level army was downgraded to infantry to participate in the war, combined with the current battlefield situation.

Rounding it off, it's not that you Japanese devils have nothing to do, what else can it be?

There are not many wreckages on the offensive road ahead. Alsim, who doesn't want to rush hard, immediately made a support gesture to the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles behind him who are responsible for close-range direct fire support.

"Driver, move forward! Take us up and prepare to meet the infantry comrades."

Through the commander's periscope in his hand, Alsim's gesture was clearly seen at close range.

The tank company commander who responded to the call immediately gave orders via radio, and a large number of T43 medium tanks and BMP43 infantry fighting vehicles immediately rushed forward with gunfire and black smoke from the rear of the vehicles.

"Follow the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, and keep moving forward! Quick!"

If there is no cover, call for mobile cover.

The combat engineers and infantry who alternated with the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles and covered each other cleared almost all the Japanese infantry and anti-armor fire threats in the area, and then called the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles in the parking support state to move forward and cover the advance.

Already being beaten by Alsim and his party, the Japanese who had just received the support of the horseless cavalry were not happy for a few times, and this huge Russian steel monster rumbled up again.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles driving up from the side, they quickly moved out of various debris and crater covers, changed their positions to the back of the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, and attacked with infantry and tanks in coordination.

If we can't deal with the Russian steel monster, we can't hurt the infantry hiding behind it.

The Japanese army did not think of a trick. They concentrated the remaining grenade launchers at hand and tried to attack the infantry behind the tank with indirect fire.

Unexpectedly, the Russians' revenge came quickly after just two rounds of the grenade launcher, and they actually bombarded the grenade launcher group directly with tank guns.

The frustrated Japanese grenade launcher operator really didn't expect that he had no merit and ability to be directly served by the Russians with tank guns, and the large-caliber grenades were literally unlimited.

The 100mm main gun kept firing, and the 7mm DShK heavy machine gun mounted on the roof sounded in unison.

If you don't change your position, you can only wait to be killed. Once you change your position, the main gun and machine gun will be unlimited.

The brutal Russians really didn't let go of any comrades who dared to move and change positions. All they could see was that their own people were beaten into a hornet's nest and blown to pieces as soon as they showed their heads. The Japanese army, whose casualties were soaring every minute and every second, was really killed to the point of numbness.

"Baga! We can't go on like this! The Russians clearly want to use their firepower advantage to kill us all, leaving no one alive!"

The captain cursed, and the squadron leaders and team leaders who came to obey his orders just took it as a fart.

Who can't see this situation? But the Russians used an open and obvious strategy, and the main point was "What can I do if I let you see it clearly?" In this situation, how can we break the deadlock except being killed by the Russians?

"Attack immediately! Attack the Russians!"

! ?

I never expected that the captain with a red face would end up saying such a self-destructive fart.

The squadron leaders and team leaders who had hoped that the leader would have some tricks, now looked at each other, and couldn't believe that what they just heard was true.

It felt like hearing a joke that should have been very funny, but it just couldn't be laughed at at the moment, just because the tragic protagonist in this joke was the fucking me.

"Gentlemen! Show your courage as the warriors of the Empire! Just like Lord Nogi Maresuke, hold the ambition of serving the country for seven lifetimes and attack the Russians! These Russian barbarians will surely succumb to our courage, and human bombs will eventually defeat Gundams!"

So far, the several squadron leaders and team leaders present have personally experienced the classic slogan "Human bombs defeat Gundams" in practice, and it turns out that it can also mean this fucking meaning.

Human bombs hit the steel monsters of the Russians, how can this not be considered "Human bombs defeat Gundams"?

The captain felt that his description was fine, but the several squadron leaders and team leaders with bitter faces below had their grievances.

Seeing that the captain had already drawn out his command knife, knowing that there was no room for negotiation at the moment of drawing the knife out of the sheath, the few Japanese officers who had to bite the bullet and went to receive the order could only do as they were told.

"Warriors of the Empire! Attack the Russians! Tsuk-ge-ge!!!"

"It's dark, board!!!"

"Board!!!"

? ? ?

Alsim, who was hiding behind the tank and shooting, was stunned. Seeing the huge group of Japanese soldiers rushing towards the tank with bayonets, the only feeling in his heart was "I don't understand, but I am shocked".

"Are these Japanese devils crazy? Infantry charging towards the tank!?"

"What else can we do? Are they waiting to be killed by our strafing and bombardment? This is the last madness, open fire!"

He gave the order to the soldiers around him to open fire, and without hesitation, Alsim grabbed the external wired phone at the rear of the tank, picked up the receiver and shouted directly to the driver who answered the call in the car.

"Tell all the cars to open fire! Open fire immediately! The Japanese devils are crazy, blow these bastards into pieces! No one will be left!"

"Got it!"

Hang up the call from Alsim outside the car, and the driver grabbed the radio transmitter and shouted on all channels.

"Attention, all crews! Stop advancing and fire at full power immediately. I repeat! Concentrate all firepower to destroy all incoming enemies!"

The T43A medium tanks and the BMP43 infantry fighting vehicles on the scene totaled 22 vehicles in two companies.

This means that the Japanese army's current long live charge is aimed at 11 100mm tank guns, 11 25mm machine guns, 11 7mm DShK heavy machine guns, and 22 62mm coaxial machine guns.

In addition, the huge amount of semi-automatic and fully automatic light weapons in the hands of the two companies of infantry launched a charge.

The courage is commendable and the momentum is fierce, but it is undoubtedly extremely stupid.

Even if they were forced to do it, it still cannot change the fact that this is pure performance art.

Countless rifle machine gun bullets and large-caliber grenades whistled in, and the dense tracer barrage swept across like a fire dragon constantly knocked down rows of devils.

The bayonet on the tip of the Type 38 rifle was stained with blood, but it was his own blood that stained him as he fell in the pool of blood of the gunman.

On the surface, it was a battalion-level charge, but in reality, there were less than 300 people.

All kinds of old, weak, sick and disabled people, including the wounded with bandages, came together. The Japanese soldiers who lost their ability to move and could not move lay on the ground and fired, providing firepower support to the consumables who were charging and dying in front.

The fearless captain was not afraid of death and war, but personally went into battle to command his soldiers to lead the charge.

It's a pity that the Russian artillery shells don't distinguish whether you are a captain or an ordinary soldier.

The 100mm grenade that came at high speed didn't even explode under his feet, but hit the captain's face squarely.

He directly fired a 100mm grenade into his head and performed the head disappearing technique on the spot.

But because the hardness of the head is so poor, it is not even enough to trigger the collision fuse. After the cannon blasted off the captain's head and disappeared, it continued to scream through the air and move forward at high speed.

It wasn't until it hit the feet of several Japanese soldiers who were charging behind them that the 100mm grenade with a bloody warhead that hit the ground exploded on the spot.

Boom——

His Excellency, the captain, who had lost his head but had no time to fall down, was already a headless corpse. He was directly thrown away by the strong blast from behind.

Blood was spurting out from the broken neck, and the body was spinning around. It performed a 360-degree pirouette in mid-air for three full times before falling heavily to the ground with missing arms and legs and smoke. It was already dead. Die again.

Even the hilt of the smoking Sankan sword, which was blown into three pieces by a single shot, flew at least seventy or eighty meters before being pierced into the soil. It turned from a distinguished object into a battlefield garbage with no practical value. .

In less than half a cigarette, very few of the nearly 300 charging Japanese soldiers had been killed, leaving only the wounded soldiers who had fallen to the ground and those who had been knocked unconscious by the explosion.

The Japanese troops attacking in the front were defeated, and the Japanese troops in the rear who were also firing loudly met a miserable end.

The main force of the two-pronged outflank, led by Kulbalov himself, has completed its detour and cut off the Japanese army's only retreat at the rear of the formation.

After the troops were united, Kulbalov didn't talk nonsense. He gave the order and personally led his troops towards the rear of the Japanese army to kill the generals.

At the same time, the Japanese army, who expected such a scene, finally revealed their last trump card - nine Type 94 ultra-light tanks defined by the Japanese army as "cavalry fighting vehicles."

At this moment, the Adzuki Bean chariot, which weighs just over 3 tons, is facing an opponent.

But it was Kulbalov who personally commanded, taking the lead in rushing to the forefront of a company of nearly 70 tons of IS7 heavy tanks.

Faced with a tonnage gap of more than 30 times, the Japanese tank soldiers, who were even more elephant-sized than corgis, sat in the roaring iron coffin and felt despair that was almost suffocating.

"Your Excellency, what should we do?"

"Fight! Fight to the end with the Russians!"

""

The commander and gunner who controlled the 7mm machine gun responded to the driver's questions and pulled the trigger to fire.

He took out the most powerful main weapon on the entire vehicle and shot at the Russians, but all he got in return was the IS7 gunner who couldn't help but laugh.

Ding ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!

"Comrade Commander, the Japanese stroller is firing at us. The sound is quite pleasant to you."

With his hand on the commander's periscope, he had a panoramic view of the scene, and with a smile on his lips, Kulbalov still spoke calmly and gave orders.

"Load high-explosive bombs! Target Japanese armored vehicle, gunner prepares!"
