Vol 3 Chapter 443: Decisive battle in Moscow (3)

"Commander, Ryazan is ahead."
Major General Wei Yinglai, Chief of Staff of the 41st Army, told a lieutenant next to him that this was the commander of the 36th Army and Lieutenant General Chen Jiheng of the Imperial Army.
Chen Jiheng, a 54-year-old Han nationality, was from Guangxi. He was once under the command of Lu Rongting. At that time, Zhang Shusheng led a secret conversation between Yunnan and Guangxi. After the reorganization of the army, he was brave in combat and good at learning, and soon became a grass-roots officer of the civilian group. Although he joined halfway, he grew very quickly. He first served as the company commander of the militias and then as the commander of the garrison. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, he did not have much hope of promotion. The deputy commander went all the way to the commander and eventually became the commander of the 41st Army.
This person can be regarded as having outstanding combat merits and rich commanding experience in actual combat. Although the highest level is the commander of the group army, he can still rank among the ten commanders of the Imperial Shu Group, especially in terms of stability and fortitude. As usual, this expeditionary army attacked the southwestern line of defense of Moscow. The 41st Army was one of the left-wing forces, responsible for winning Ryazan 130 kilometers from Moscow.
"As soon as we win here, we are only 130 kilometers away from Moscow. Little Ryazan, nearly 300,000 Soviet troops are stationed. This piece of meat is now letting our two army troops eat, depending on who is moving fast."
Putting down the telescope in his hand, Chen Jiheng took off his military coat with his backhand. The temperature in Moscow in April was not warm, but rather cold.
"It is reported that the armored forces have been prepared and the artillery forces have been prepared."
From time to time, a staff officer hurried forward to report.
Chen Jiheng nodded, but saw an armored vehicle stop not far away. It was Zhou Yuan, commander of the 44th Army.
"Commander Chen, this is ready, old rules, let's fight." Zhou Yuan said with a smile. Unlike Chen Jiheng, Zhou Yuan is a general from the Kuomintang-Democratic Party and can be promoted to the commander of the army. People are extraordinary.
Chen Jiheng nodded, saying that it was an old rule. In fact, it was to concentrate the firepower of two group armies, armored forces, and cooperate with each other.
The 4th Army and the 44th Army are not armored army units. The tanks of a group army are only about the size of a tank division. However, the centralized use of the two group army tanks has almost the size of two tank divisions. This is already very impressive. Although it is not as advanced and numerous as the armored group's tanks, and its firepower is strong, it is still useful for attacking.
"How long is the main force of the Air Force?"
At this time, there were actually fighters fighting in the sky. The Soviet aircraft and the Imperial aircraft had never stopped from beginning to end, and even from time to time, there were fish that leaked from the nets, and they were detonated by the group's powerful anti-aircraft fire. The Empire ’s anti-aircraft artillery is not comparable to the Soviet army ’s garbage guns. According to the adjusted equipment situation, the headquarters of the group army even has a low-altitude air defense missile battalion as its final defense means.
"Commander, the main force of the Air Force has 5 minutes left," the staffer reported after checking it.
"Well, Commander Zhou · We will launch the attack on time and win Ryazan 5 minutes later."
Chen Jiheng said with confidence that the offensive capabilities of the two imperial armies were very strong. The Imperial Regular Army has always been known for its fierce firepower and well-trained training. The regular army has a high combat ability, and it can be called a hundred elite soldiers.
Although the expeditionary force is an expeditionary operation, its firepower is actually very strong. A large number of vehicle-mounted vehicles pull artillery with a considerable number of self-propelled artillery. The firepower of a group army can almost double that of the Soviet army. Although the Soviets also believed in cannonism, at this time the war hit them, and they were already sorry for the Soviet name that was once known as a cannon.
Two group army, more than 200,000 people attacked 300,000 Soviet defense Ryazan, is relatively easy. However, when the battle is difficult, it depends on the success or failure. When the battle is good, naturally it depends on who is better. Since the 41st Army and the 44th Army formed the left-wing offensive front, there is also a lot of competition outside the cooperation. of.
As for Ryazan City, there are only 300,000 Soviet defenses. It is not that Timo Xinge is unwilling to send more troops and divide troops. It is because the offensive momentum of the center and right-wing Empire armored forces is too fierce. Do not assemble heavy soldiers to defend the middle and right wings.
As for Ryazan, naturally you can't give up. If you don't let go, that is to wait for the imperial army to fight over. Therefore, more than 300,000 people seem to be cannon fodder, but they can also play the role of cannon fodder, which lags the empire-army attack.
Five minutes passed quickly, and orders for the attack were quickly given.
"boom……"
The artillery positions of the two group armies seemed to be blowing a gust of wind. Various caliber artillery, tank guns, and self-propelled artillery all fired at the target marked by Liang Zan.
There were flying shells all the time in the sky.
According to the number of artillery of the two group army, it is still not too much, but after targeted refitting, the firing speed and accuracy are better than the ordinary artillery in active service.
The artillery force composed of the two group armies was already regarded as an artillery group. The opposite Ryazan was suddenly overwhelmed by a burst of fire, and the sound of explosive thunders came one after another, showing the power of the explosion.
While the tank was firing while it was travelling, almost when the dense Chinese aircraft appeared in the sky, the tank forces of the two groups launched an assault.
Hundreds of tanks are charging at full speed, which is still very spectacular. Imagine a behemoth steel giant that is five to six meters long and more than two meters wide. At the same time, there are hundreds of tanks, which can be regarded as a battle-level tank group.
In the view of the Soviet army on the opposite side, the Chinese tanks can only be described by the mountains and the mountains. In the field of vision, all ants-sized tanks can be seen. They are quickly moving towards their own side. From time to time, many fires flash, but the tank is firing .
The artillery was coordinated, and the artillery fired until the firing was extended. The tank group did not stop the charge, and the infantry unit behind the tank unit was only a little behind.
The sky rushing into the Ryanzan Soviet positions crazyly flew towards the Soviet artillery positions. After all, the artillery positions on the offensive side moved and changed, but the defensive artillery positions were sitting dead.
The two group armies, with a total of more than half a million people on both sides, are already fighting levels that often erupt between the Soviet Union and Germany.
In the face of such battles by the Germans, the Soviets often either concentrated their superior forces to fight, or rely on the fortress and the city's hard defense. The most unfortunate thing was to be surrounded and quickly destroyed.
In the face of a powerful German army, the combat effectiveness shown by the Soviet army is actually quite average, and the battle loss ratio between the enemy and us is also very eye-catching.
In the battle with the empire, the Soviet army has repeatedly defeated, with almost no commendable victory.
At the moment, the situation is not much better
The ruined city of Ryazan has already become a ruined city in protracted wars. The defense line outside the city was quickly broken by the tank forces, and the Empire-Army quickly broke into the city.
The Soviet army faced a dead end, its combat effectiveness was low, its weapons and equipment were backward and it lacked air power, and the artillery and armored forces could not play a decisive advantage. In this way, the Soviet army, which can only hold its ground, once encountered a very powerful attack, the defense line will be quickly broken, then divided and surrounded, and even developed to the level of street fighting.
After an hour of fighting, the 41st Army and the 44th Army, apart from the tanks, had two divisions rushing into the city.
The scale of four infantry divisions, two temporary tank divisions and six divisions, started a street fight in Ryazan and the Soviets who retreated into the city.
A squad belonging to the 3rd regiment of the 244th Division of the 41st Army followed behind a tank company. Twelve soldiers and tanks formed a street fighting team.
Wu Xinhui is an ordinary soldier and a bazooka.
As soon as I followed the tank into this street, I saw a messy building collapsed everywhere, and several floors of buildings also collapsed or were broken.
When the tank company encountered a place that was really difficult, in addition to using cannons, it was necessary to use explosives. However, the well-trained combat team cooperated with each other more closely. Wu Xinhui also served as a blaster, just under a small building block. The explosive pack was placed, and after returning to the tank, the explosive pack was detonated.
There was a loud noise, and the half of the building block was blown up. The combat squad hiding behind the tank suffered no damage, and the tank company continued to move forward.
"Bang! Da da da ..."
A burst of gunfire sounded and the fighting team encountered an ambush of the Soviet army.
"Enemy attack!"
The combat team quickly hid behind thick-skinned tanks. The Soviet army, which lacked anti-tank weapons extremely, often the most effective anti-tank weapons were mines and artillery.
However, the laying of mines is very troublesome. The unobstructed open area is easily destroyed by the vehicle-mounted mine clearance rockets carried by the combat team. In the obstacle zone, it is easy to be detonated by artillery or explosive packages at one time. Little pitiful. As for anti-tank guns and flat-fire guns, the results of anti-tank rockets are even less.
The tank-borne image imaging system can easily target nearby attackers. As for the Soviet troops hiding in the ruined buildings, in addition to being bombarded by tank artillery, they will encounter rocket launchers.
"At three o'clock, the window on the left of the third floor."
Sure enough, the observer shouted loudly and made tactical gestures at the same time. Wu Xinhui took a deep breath, then looked at the position of the tactical reflector, and suddenly raised his head from behind the tank. The rocket launcher aimed at the window on the left side of the third floor and pulled it. Triggered.
Alas, a rocket pulled the tail flame and flew into the window. After the violent explosion, the ambush of the Soviet sniper there was no movement.
The three tanks also used tank guns and machine guns, cleared several targets, and the well-trained team easily killed the Soviet ambush. The Soviets were even a little lost. In the past, the Germans had tried a lot of unsatisfactory fighting methods. Now It didn't work for Chinese people.
The Chinese tank guns are very flexible, and they can catch targets very quickly and accurately. The Chinese weapons and equipment are much stronger than the Germans, the rocket launchers are a lot of equipment, and what single-handed grenade launcher is a melee weapon, Individual smoke bombs, individual cloud burst rocket launchers, these things work really well.
"Put a smoke bomb and move on."
A soldier took out a large pistol-like smoke bullet gun and continuously pulled it towards the roadside ahead. Soon, a few heavy smoke blocked a 50-meter road, and the tank company and the infantry squad quickly passed. .
The next day, shortly after the sun rose, the entire Ryazan was basically divided, and the rest of the matter was naturally to clean up the battlefield, solve the small Soviet encircles, and destroy or captive them.
At the same time, in addition to fierce air battles, the left and right wing offensives have achieved very good results. The two armed groups in the middle of Chen Jun's personal presence are tearing the Soviet defense line again and again. Even anxious ants like hot pots can hardly stop China's offensive.
Seven days later
When the Chinese Expeditionary Force advanced the battle line to more than thirty kilometers away from Moscow, it finally encountered fierce resistance, and the core part of the Moscow war circle was finally exposed to the Chinese-army muzzle.
Although this distance is not as good as the distance between the Germans and Moscow, which was held by the Soviets just a few kilometers before the battle began, after all, the Germans were often able to invade Moscow and then be beaten back.
When the Chinese-army advanced to only 30 kilometers away from Moscow and the offensive slowed significantly, the Germans were extremely fierce. They had entered Moscow's city for a full seven kilometers, and they had established a foothold. They were violently breaking out with the Soviet army. War of secession. One wants to stand firm, one wants to get back lost.
At this time, Stalin had arrived here at a distance of 160 kilometers from Moscow. Compared to Moscow, which was already in deep water, this Leningrad garrison with Allied forces was much safer since it was completely recaptured. .
The commander of the Moscow Theater, Timo Simo, arrived in Leningrad by helicopter in the dark, and received an urgent call by Stalin. Speaking of which, this kind of helicopter is still American cargo, although not as good as the Chinese helicopter, but its performance is not bad.
"Comrade Timothy ~ EbookFREE.me ~ If you fail again, their tank armored army will rush into Moscow."
Stalin stared angrily at Timoshenko. During the seven days, the Moscow theater suffered heavy losses. As many as 2 million Soviet troops had been surrounded or destroyed by Chinese and German troops.
The Allied General Patton even offered him a ‘suggestion, of course, he was more command-oriented, which made Stalin feel like he was at a dead end and made him crazy.
Once Moscow is lost, what is left of the Soviet Union? How much of the Allied momentum is left?
Therefore, troops continued to travel from Leningrad to the Moscow theater, and equipment and supplies were continuously transported past. The Allied Air Force even fought over the Moscow and Sino-German Air Forces day and night. Worse.
"We need more support, Comrade Stalin, not because we didn't do our best, but because the enemy was too powerful. If the Allies did not support it, the results would be very difficult to predict ..."
However, what Stalin said next made Timmu Xinga startled a little.纟
