Chapter 284: Both sides are startled in the first battle

In the early morning, the roar of "buzz~buzz~buzz~" planes came from the sky above Harbin City! Tu Qianjun sneered at Shang Dinan beside him and said in a deep voice: "Tell Shuai Lu! I have been tolerating the Soviet plane for so long and waited for him to come! I will at least half of the Soviet planes this time!"

Upon hearing this, Shang Dinnan said loudly to Tu Qianjun: "Yes!!" Then he sent a message to Harbin City by phone!

As the roar of the plane came, a large group of people slowly appeared on the horizon! Under the leadership of the chariot, he slowly rushed towards the frontier position of the First Army!

At this time, rows of biplanes had already roared over Harbin! The planes flying to Harbin were not just reconnaissance as before. When these planes flew to the frontier positions of the First Army, they rushed down roaring!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!" Suddenly, a cloud of smoke filled the position! Dust flew!

"Squeak~Squeak~Squeak~Boom! Boom! Boom!" At this time, the Soviet army, who had arrived in front to build a position, immediately started shelling! Nearly two hundred artillery pieces were roaring at the front line with a craziness!

Under the bombardment of nearly two hundred artillery pieces, this position and even the second-line position were all shaking! Tu Qianjun has now retreated to the command tunnel of the second-line position, and is watching a piece of dust flying on the front line position through a telescope!

The shelling and bombing lasted about twenty minutes! Then the more than thirty planes were circling towards Harbin City, and in front of the formation, a group of people were seen rushing towards the frontier positions along the line of nearly ten mc-18 tanks!

Tu Qianjun looked at the Soviet army that was coming coldly through the telescope, and said to Shang Dinnan beside him: "Have Qi Mudeng's camp gone up?!"

Shang Dinan heard Tu Qianjun's words and stood attentively, saying in a deep voice: "The 33rd Battalion of the 13th Regiment of the 8th Brigade of the Second Division has entered the position! The fuse has been connected!"

Tu Qianjun nodded after hearing this, then raised his telescope and continued to observe the Soviet army that was shouting "Ula~"! Tu Qianjun glanced at him and knew that this was the Soviet army's tentative attacking force! It was not the main force, so he immediately said to Shangdinan: "Notify the 33rd Battalion, don't retreat for me first! Hold on to his first wave of attacks! Force the main force of the Soviets!"

Shang Dinnan heard Tu Qianjun's order and immediately responded loudly: "Yes!!"

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

Continuous victory, equipment, and soldiers are all advantageous and unwilling to launch an attack at will! This shows that the commander is extremely calm and cautious. Tu Qianjun can't help but be curious about who the commander on the opposite side is.

Could it be Vasily Konstantinovich Buliuhell, the current commander of the Soviet Red Flag Special Far East Army? After all, he is the commander-in-chief, so he wouldn't have come here so easily, right?

In fact, the opposite side was not Buluhell. But another later commander of the Soviet Union's Don River Front. Together with Yelemenko, the commander of the Stalingrad Front, led his troops to fight fiercely with the German 6th Army that invaded Stalingrad. In February of the following year, Marshal Konstantinovich Rokosovsky, who captured German Field Marshal Paulus!

Of course, the marshal is now just the commander of the 5th brigade of the Cuban Cavalry Brigade of the Soviet Red Flag Special Far East Army. But at this time his military talent has been revealed, so he was valued by Buluheer and handed over more than 40,000 troops to him for command! Let him attack Harbin!

At this time, the more than 30 fighter jets had flew into Harbin City! At the vehicles or positions suspected of transporting arms, there was a "twist..." strafing fire!

Perhaps it was because the victory kept making them relaxed their vigilance, or maybe they were used to the Northeast Army's lack of any air defense firepower. Therefore, these fighter planes flew very low! Even the people in Harbin City could see the vague figure of the pilot on the plane with their naked eyes!

At this moment! A roar of artillery fire suddenly rang in Harbin City!

"Bang! Bang! Bang..." With this dull sound of cannons, the roar of light and heavy machine guns exploded in Harbin City!

“Tututu…”

"Dadada..." Without being able to defend, the more than 30 double-wing fighter jets were blown up and down by volleys in an instant! About ten of the remaining aircraft were swept up and down by the light and heavy machine guns! Black smoke fell from the air!

"Woo~ Boom!!" Although a fighter jet was not hit by anti-aircraft artillery fire, it was still blown by the heavy machine gun and fell into Harbin City tragically! A large fire broke out!

"Blow me!! Hit hard!!" Lu Shuai of the anti-aircraft gun regiment had red eyes, and operated an anti-aircraft gun to attack the fighter that was panicked and quickly pulled up in the air. He was hit hard with a "bang~bang~bang!"

"Boom!!" He saw a fighter jet volleyed by Lu Shuai's crazy shooting before he had time to climb high! Lu Shuai turned the gun's muzzle and fired again at another Soviet fighter jet that was about to escape!

"Bang! Bang! Bang..." After a fierce shot, the plane saw the black smoke emitting black smoke and pierced its head outside the city wall with a strange cry! At this time, a fighter plane suddenly wanted to leave the battlefield!

It was seen that the fighter jet was lifting very quickly, but he was very lucky and was not injured by the firepower of the anti-aircraft gun and the light and heavy machine gun! So he was about to rise to a height that was out of the range of the anti-aircraft gun!

"Quick!! Stop that plane!!" Lu Shuai turned around and saw that the plane was about to leave, and couldn't help but scream! Then he turned his gun wildly and was about to shoot at the Soviet fighter jet that was about to leave!

At this moment, a sound of anti-aircraft cannons was heard, "Bang~Bang~Bang..."! The Soviet fighter plane that was rapidly rising was suddenly hit by the cannon! With a "boom!", it exploded into a spark in the air!

"Hey! This gun is so fucked beautifully!" Lu Shuai smiled. To be honest, even if he took action, he might not be sure to take this plane down! What he didn't expect was that it would be killed like this!

Moreover, the person who operated the artillery was very familiar with the ballistics, and the judgment of the speed of the aircraft was very accurate! It was just four or five guns that hit the plane! Lu Shuai thought to himself: This guy got a reward, and then let him teach him 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 his merits!"

"Yes!" The soldier was carrying shells, but he heard Lu Shuai's words and responded loudly! Then he rushed towards the location of the artillery fire.

At this time, the air battle was coming to an end. None of the more than 30 fighter jets could escape and were all buried in Harbin City! Nearly fifteen were volleyed by thirty anti-aircraft guns!

The rest were mostly injured by anti-aircraft guns or light and heavy machine guns, and fell tragically. Lu Shuai could also think of the reason behind this. First of all, these fighter jets did not expect that there was air defense firepower in Harbin City!

Therefore, I suffered a great loss all at once! The entire army was wiped out under the crazy attacks of thirty anti-aircraft guns, thirty heavy machine guns, and fifty light machine guns! However, perhaps the reason for the entire army was wiped out this time: Unfamiliar!

These pilots are not veterans, and they panic when they are suddenly attacked! Not only are they confused in formation, but many of them have forgotten to lift them up, so they were bombarded by the air defense firepower of the First Army, which has sufficient ammunition and a large firepower coverage!

Lu Shuai smiled and lit a cigarette from the operating position of the anti-aircraft gun. He smoked beautifully. He thought to himself: Just now, the sound of "ding ding ding ding ~" falling down after the plane was bombed was so beautiful...

At this time, the soldier who had just been sent by Shuai Shuai to ask who was operating the artillery ran back panting and stood at attention and said, "Report! Commander! I asked, this time it was the artillery that the deputy commander was fucked! The artillery was fired by the deputy commander!"

When Lu Shuai heard the soldier's words, he nodded with satisfaction, and then was stunned: "What?! What did you say?! Is it the cannon fired by the deputy regiment commander?! Are you right?! The deputy regiment commander has never touched the anti-aircraft gun! How could he operate the anti-aircraft gun?!"

"..." The soldier was silent, but he didn't know how he should answer his regiment commander...

At this time, the 33rd Battalion, which entered the frontier position, was also in a tough battle! The Soviet army's light and heavy machine guns were constantly knocking away the dust from the position! The subsequent infantry rushed towards the position under the cover of nearly ten mc-18 tanks!

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

At this moment, Zhou Cai was holding a heavy machine gun and shooting at the Soviet army that was shouting "Wula~" with a heavy fire! And there were soldiers beside him who had already fucked the grenades that were tied into a ball and pulled the fuse and threw them towards the tanks that were rushing up!

"Boom! Boom! Da da da..."

“Tututu…”

The Soviet army obviously did not expect to encounter such a great resistance. For a moment, they were pressed to the position and could not raise their heads! The several tanks that rushed closer were bombarded by the homemade cluster grenade!

One of them was even blown off and his tracks were forced to stop. Some of the Soviet soldiers following the two tanks were swept to the ground by the flying bullet!

At first, the attacking Soviet troops believed that there would not be much resistance under the bombing of aircraft and their own artillery fire, but they obviously expected it wrong! The counterattack of the First Army 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 forcibly charge. After all, this was just a fire test attack, mainly to see how the artillery fire was achieved and to evaluate the next attack.

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

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

But before he finished speaking, he stopped. Because the messenger beside him had only half of his body left, his stomach had exploded, and the place was flowing all over the ground. He stared at the azure blue sky with the smoke gradually dissipating...

About ten minutes later, Tu Qianjun, who was on the second-line position, saw the newly sent messenger. The messenger walked to Tu Qianjun with a smell of smoke and stood attentively and whispered: "Report to the commander! The front-line position has not been lost! The enemy has retreated."

Tu Qianjun nodded when he heard this and said to the soldier: "What is the loss of brothers?!"

The soldier couldn't help but remain silent when he heard Tu Qianjun's words. After a while, he said to Tu Qianjun: "More than 400 brothers were killed, and more than 100 injured..."

After hearing the soldier's words, Tu Qianjun couldn't help but remain silent. Although he had expected this to be a tough battle earlier, he did not expect that the Soviet army would lose more than 500 people in just a tentative attack!

Seeing that his commander was silent, the soldier explained: "It was mainly because the enemy's tanks pose a great threat, and then people were following the tanks. So we had to fight against them as soon as we leaned over. So the losses were a little bigger, but the Russians couldn't get much better! They lost at least seven or eight hundred people."

Tu Qianjun nodded after hearing this, and then said to the soldier: "Is there anything wrong with your battalion commander Zhou Cai?! Is there any need on the position?!"

The soldier shook his head when he heard Tu Qianjun's words, and said, "The battalion commander is fine, but the deputy battalion commander has broken his leg and has been lifted down. Fortunately, there is ammunition on the position."

Tu Qianjun was silent for a while when he heard the soldier's words, stood up and looked at the map and said to the soldier: "Go back and tell you battalion commander! If this momentum is hit, he may not be able to resist. If the Soviet army comes up again, you will resist and then retreat! Remember: Don't fight to the death!"

"Yes!" The soldier stood at attention and said respectfully to Tu Qianjun, and then ran out of the command post here.

Then Tu Qianjun thought about it and said to Shang Dinnan beside him: "Let Lu Shuai and the others pull the anti-aircraft guns into the artillery tunnel of the third-line position! Also, the shells must be prepared sufficiently!"

"Yes!" Shang Dinnan nodded when he heard this, and then went down to pass the order!

At this time, Rokosovsky, in the temporary command of the Soviet army, was furious and scolded the commander under his command: "Damn it! It's just a tentative attack that you lost the lives of comrades more than 830 lives! This is even greater than the loss of our attacks so many positions! How do you command?! Do you know you are committing a crime!!"

The officer standing in front of Rokosovsky heard Rokosovsky's scolding but did not say anything, while an officer standing behind the officer said in a deep voice to Rokosovsky.

"Comrade Rokosovsky, this loss cannot be blamed on Comrade Vishniak." Seeing the officer pointing to Rokosovsky, he said in a deep voice: "The unit we encountered seems to be a little different from the previous Northeast Army. The resistance of this unit is extremely tenacious! Moreover, the firepower of the equipment is also very strong, and the shooting accuracy is also high! Therefore, the loss is a bit large..."

Hearing the officer's words, Rokosovsky was stunned and then silent. The person who spoke was named Vitaliev, who was Rokosovsky's classmate at the Fulongzhi Military Academy.

Vitaliev's character has always been known for his rigor, and Rokosovsky never doubts too much about what he said. If Vitaliev said this, it will prove that this army is indeed different from the previous Northeast Army!

"Comrade Vitariev, what do you think we should do now?!" Rokosovsky was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice to Vitariev: "Moscow means to let us end the war as soon as possible! After all, the Soviet Union still needs more time to develop now. What we need to do now is to force the young commander of the Northeast Army to the negotiating table as soon as possible!"

Vitaliev was silent when he heard this. If possible, he still hoped to attack in other ways instead of doing it recklessly! After all, this attack gave him a sense of crisis, and it seemed that the troops on the opposite side were not simple!

But Vishniak, who had not spoken at this time, started to speak! He saw him saying in a deep voice to Rokosovsky: "Comrade Rokosovsky! Although this attack failed, what I can be sure of is that the enemy seems to have few ways to deal with tanks, only with grenades to attack! It is also because we have tanks that we can rush to the enemy's position. Therefore, my suggestion is to use tanks to directly break through the enemy's enemy's position! Then use infantry to attack..."

After hearing Vishniak's words, Rokosovsky turned to look at Vatariev. Then he saw Vatariev nodding at Rokosovsky and responded in a deep voice: "I have also observed what Comrade Vishniak said. In fact, our tanks have indeed caused great damage to them. If the enemy had not blown off the track of a tank, I think we could still achieve some results. But with my observation, they should not feel uncomfortable now. The losses will not be much less than us."

Indeed, Vitaliev's estimate is very close to the fact. Now the 33rd Battalion is really uncomfortable. There are only about 800 combatants in one battalion. This has caused almost 600 people to be killed in the Soviet troops at once!

In other words, there are only about two hundred people who can move on the position now! And now Qi Muden planned to send some people to them, but Zhou Cai refused!

After hearing Vitaliev's words, Rokosovsky remained silent for a while before speaking to Vitaliev and Vishniak in a deep voice: "Let the artillery prepare for a thirty-minute artillery attack! Then the whole army attacks! Use mc-18 as the vanguard, and the whole army attacks!"

"Yes!!" Vitaliev and Vishniak heard Rokosovsky's words and responded loudly with a loud voice!
