Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Lezhevsky spent a long time and asked roughly from the wounded cavalry division soldiers who were returned. In yesterday's battle, the opponent's armored troops dispatched first 110,130 vehicles, and then about 4 or 50 more armored units came from the northwest. Lezhevsky  Fsky had roughly heard about the formation of the coalition forces. At most, the opponent sent out only a strengthened armored regiment. He did not expect that the coalition forces that could chase his own cavalry division like a duck were really so inaccessible.  sharp?  How many ground troops did they dispatch to the Ufa front line?

    Before Lezhevsky could figure out what the other party would do next, the coalition aircraft were circling in the sky, threatening him but not launching an attack. What kind of mystery was this?

    Immediately afterwards, the troublesome machine gunner on the Red Army position pulled the trigger on a coalition fighter jet passing overhead at low altitude. As a result, the mutton was not eaten but it caused a fuss. Dozens of aircraft that had been circling in the sky just now suddenly jumped out of the sky happily.  All directions rushed towards the machine gun fire point and the nearby trenches. In just ten minutes, a battalion guarding the 800-meter trench was completely wiped out by enemy aircraft strafing and bombing. Six Maxim heavy machine guns deployed on the position  Also turned into ashes

    The cost of blood and the reality before them made the Soviet infantrymen on the entire position shudder. Since Germany and Austria did not invest many aircraft on the Eastern Front battlefield, even those veterans who returned from the prisoner of war camps rarely saw it up close.  To see how much damage a well-trained air strike can cause to ground troops, to continue fighting like this and still hold a fart position is a completely unequal battle. At least the Red Army soldiers of the Fourth Group Army have not yet had the miracle of shooting down an airplane with a rifle.  Such good luck and blessing

    In fact, the aircraft dispatched by the coalition air force were just SE5 fighters and DH4 reconnaissance bombers. The SE5 became a ground attack aircraft, mainly using 7.7mm Vickers machine guns to shoot. Each SE5 dropped four aerial bombs, each of which was no more than  It only weighs 25 pounds and 11 kilograms **Pao! Book*

    However, the eight aerial bombs weighing 25 kilograms each dropped by each dh4 reconnaissance bomber gave the Soviet Red Army soldiers a taste of what aerial bombing is. Of course, the coalition's Handley Page 0400 heavy bomber has not yet taken action.  The Delipeti Type 0400 can carry 906 kilograms of aerial bombs. When performing ground bombing missions, the Type 0400 generally carries 32 25 kilograms of aerial bombs, or 16 50 kilograms of aerial bombs, no matter which one.  The nightmare of Soviet ground forces lacking anti-aircraft weapons

    The retaliatory air strike that Lezhevsky¡¯s troops encountered was just a small test of the coalition¡¯s air force.

    Although the Soviet Red Army soldiers on the entire Chernigovka position were shocked to death by the overbearing aerial bombardment of the coalition forces, fortunately, the coalition air force was only for revenge rather than a full-scale attack or the annihilation of all the people on the position.  For the purpose of the Soviet Russian troops, and with the urgent ban issued by Rzhevsky not to actively fire on coalition aircraft in the air, the situation finally calmed down after half an hour - Book_)

    For Lezhevsky, there is no question of whether to fight or to leave. The coalition sent an air force to hover over its position, obviously mostly for surveillance purposes. Just now, a battalion was completely destroyed in more than ten minutes.  The process taught the Red Army officers and soldiers on every position a lesson, that is, not to act rashly

    Not long after, a group of coalition wheeled armored vehicles drove grandly along the main road from the direction of Ufa. The cold light of the large-caliber machine gun could be felt from a kilometer away. This was led by Shunroku Hata.  The staff and armored reconnaissance battalion came to the scene to conduct reconnaissance and map out Rzhevsky's position configuration.

    Although there were only 40 wheeled armored vehicles, they raised dust all over the sky. The machine gunners leaning out from the turret of the armored vehicles did not pay attention to the nearly two divisions of the Soviet Red Army in the ring defense position. The entire convoy was swaggeringly divided into  The two groups passed by both sides of the Fourth Army's position in Chernigovka and began to circle around the position. At this time, the coalition reconnaissance planes and fighter jets in the sky consciously lowered their flying altitude, and a mountain rain was coming over the entire position.  A full-floor attitude

    "Comrade Commander, the coalition forces across from them only have 40 armored vehicles. Let me lead the cavalry regiment to rush out and destroy them. It would be great if we can capture a few of them and come over."

    Dantenov, the commander of the cavalry regiment left behind by the First Army, was eager to give it a try. This guy was a strong man under Chapayev. He had not yet experienced the toughness of the coalition armored forces. Now he saw the opponent.  There are not many cars and there are not many cars, but he is arrogant and looks down on others. He can't help but get angry and bold, and wants to lead the cavalry regiment to surround and annihilate the opponent.

    Before the change, Rzhevsky would have asked this guy to take the cavalry regiment out to explore the strength of the opponent's armored forces, but now he felt it was completely unnecessary. The Fourth Army sent Vasilyev to take a roundabout route to the south.  The 1st Cavalry Division he led was the main ace division in the hands of Rzhevsky. Yesterday, it was completely wiped out by the wheeled armored vehicles of a reinforced regiment. This Dantenov only had one regiment in his hands and there was no need to go out to kill him.

    If there were no coalition forces in the sky,The planes are circling and monitoring, and maybe Lezhevsky can let him go out for a gamble. At this moment, he is still staying there, annoying the coalition air force in the sky. There are more than 30,000 people here.  He could still see the sun tomorrow morning. Lezhevsky felt extremely frustrated for a moment. This was really not a heavyweight contest. How had the heroic Fourth Army of the Eastern Front fallen into such a desolate situation?

    But Tynov's courage and recklessness were not recognized by Rzhevsky, the deputy commander of the group and the commander of the Fourth Army. He hid alone in an unknown place to sulk. The wheeled armored vehicles of the coalition forces outside the position had not yet arrived.  disappeared, and a long convoy of military trucks drove along the main road from the direction of Ufa. It seemed that there was no end in sight. The trucks drove to a distance of 1,500 meters in front of the position before stopping on the roadside.

    Countless Ufa White Guards jumped out of the truck compartment. This was Wang Geng who mobilized the logistics transport convoy of the coalition forces and swaggered directly to transport Pepelyaev's Ufa Second Army to the front line in batches, a total of four hundred  A Dodge one-and-a-half-ton military truck transported the troops from Ufa to Chernigovka, 20 kilometers away, in just half an hour.

    A Dodge one-and-a-half-ton truck transported two fully armed squads of 24 infantrymen. The coalition logistics used 400 Dodge military trucks to transport the entire Ufa Second Army Infantry Division to the front line in one go. The entire convoy stretched over 2  kilometers, the road conditions in this section are good, and the transportation is fast.

    The 20-kilometer journey would take more than three and a half hours if armed cross-country walking. In less than two hours now, Pepelyaev's Ufa Second Army has arrived around Chernigovka and surrounded the opponent's positions.  surrounded

    Four White Guard infantry divisions with a total of 40,000 people began to build a defense line and dig trenches 1,500 meters away from Rzhevsky's defense line. It looked like an exercise without even the necessary precautions. Of course, you can also  It was understood that the Allied Air Force in the sky was on duty for them. The Allied Air Force aircraft above the position came and went and came again, maintaining the number of two squadrons. Obviously, the airport must not be far from the front line.

    This time, no one dared to easily fire at the White Guards infantry division 1,500 meters away. The total number of Maxim heavy machine guns deployed by the opponent on the position may have exceeded 200, and there were at least five artillery batteries dispatched. Su  The atmosphere on the Russian Fourth Army's position was extremely depressing. Many of the lightly wounded soldiers who had been released had dropped their weapons, holding their heads and crying in the trenches. An atmosphere of despair enveloped every surrounded Soviet soldier.  The heart of a Red Army soldier

    "Comrade Commander, what trick is the enemy playing? The soldiers are almost crushed." Coming over was Savier, the commander of the Uralsk Infantry Division of the Fourth Army who had stayed with Rzhevsky.  Vicki

    "Comrade division commander must stay calm. The glorious Fourth Army must not collapse without a fight. As a senior commander at the division level, you must calm down," Lezhevsky's face turned livid and he lowered his voice and shouted.

    "I think the situation is not good, Comrade Rzhevsky. Before the enemy has completely encircled you, and the fortifications have just begun to be repaired, I will lead the whole division to take the lead, fight a bloody road, and let Dantenov lead the cavalry regiment to protect you.  Follow the breakout with the headquarters. "Savijevich's sense of smell is not dull. The White Guards on the opposite side obviously look like they are sure of themselves. Everyone has seen the power of the coalition air force just now. This will be delayed any longer.  , the annihilation of the entire army is likely to be the only outcome for the more than 30,000 Soviet Red Army soldiers here

    "You idiot bastard, why should I keep you here if I want to run away? Protecting the wounded and waiting for help is our only mission. Who dares to say the word "withdraw" to shake the morale of the army? Don't blame me, Lezhevsky, for being ruthless. From a division commander to an ordinary soldier  , shoot them all." Rzhevsky put his hand on the holster on his waist, frightening his division commander Savievich to stagger and almost sit down.
