Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In addition to two armored battalions, an artillery battery of six 75mm field guns, and an anti-aircraft gun battery towed by a Dodge 1.5-ton military truck, Lu Huanyan also brought an engineer supply company and a regiment headquarters of his own armored regiment along the way.  There is a communications service platoon and a regimental armored reconnaissance company. The entire armored regiment is full and only the 2nd Armored Battalion, the chief of staff, is missing. The leading soldier at this time is the regimental armored reconnaissance company that has been reinforced to the 1st Armored Battalion.

    "The entire regiment is ordered to stop advancing. The vanguard battalion is deployed in combat formation. The rearguard battalion is on alert! Tao Dayong, get in my car and go to the front together!" Lu Huanyan, commander of the Chinese Armored Regiment and Army Colonel, waved his hand to signal to the 1st Armored Battalion.  Battalion Commander Tao Dayong got into his car, and the FD17II wheeled armored vehicle under his feet restarted. The exhaust pipe spurted out blue smoke and drove forward along the road amidst a roar. Behind him, 3 soldiers from the regimental communications service platoon  A tank and Tao Dayong's tank from the 1st Battalion also followed suit.  Fastest update, all text typed by hand

    Lu Huanyan and his group drove four wheeled tanks along the way, passing dozens of tanks parked on the roadside by the 1st Armored Battalion, and soon reached the forefront. At this time, 10 tanks from the regiment's armored reconnaissance company  It has formed a fan and spread out in a warning formation at a corner of the road. More than a hundred Chinese vehicle-mounted infantry are squatting and concealed on the wings of their armored vehicles. The vehicle-mounted mortars have also opened the top of the carriage and are ready to be fired.  Read the latest chapter

    The arrival of the regiment leader made the soldiers of the reconnaissance company slightly agitated, but basically all the soldiers still stuck to their posts and did not dare to leave their posts without authorization. At the corner of the path, there were piles of trees that had been cut down and blocked the road.  In front of the tree barrier is a large pit 2 meters deep and 3 meters long. This corner is exactly where the road is narrowest, and there are forest wetlands under the shade of trees on both sides. Although people can walk in front of it, armored vehicles and  Not only was the truck unable to move forward due to the trees, but even if it found a gap and drove in, it would have to sink into it with only the slippery and soft ground.

    "Where is your company commander?!" When Lu Huanyan arrived at the front line, he saw 10 wheeled armored combat vehicles, all of which were stationed in two columns and parked on both sides of the road. However, Xue Juru, commander of the regiment's reconnaissance company, was nowhere to be seen. The guy turned to ask the armored vehicles  Squatting next to the reconnaissance company's caboose was a soldier with leaves on both sides of his helmet.

    "Report to the commander, our company commander led the sharp knife squad to cross the obstacle and conduct reconnaissance!" Turning from the left side of the reconnaissance company's lead vehicle, a fully armed officer with a helmet and a straw hat tied with branches on both sides was the deputy of the reconnaissance company.  Captain Qin Shan.

    Only then did Lu Huanyan discover that the nearly one hundred infantrymen of the regiment's armored reconnaissance company who had disembarked from their vehicles had almost all wrapped branches and leaves around the helmets on their heads as camouflage. However, because the Allied Forces Central Military Commission was still wearing a gray-blue military uniform at this time,  , so the camouflage effect is only so-so and unsatisfactory. It is estimated that it is not noticeable when lying on the ground, but it can be seen clearly as soon as it gets up.

    Lu Huanyan frowned slightly when he heard this. Tao Dayong, commander of the 1st Armored Battalion, who was looking at the road under the shade of trees in the forest ahead with a telescope, said in a slightly urgent tone, "Captain Xue and the others are back!"

    Sure enough, a vigorous Chinese captain carrying an M1 Garand semi-automatic mounted rifle appeared in Lu Huanyan's field of vision with more than a dozen subordinates. The soldiers of the reconnaissance company here who were on alert breathed a sigh of relief. Just now  There was neither gunfire nor artillery fire ahead. It was obvious that the company commander who personally led the sharp knife squad and the others were not in danger.

    "Captain, why are you up here? This is too dangerous! The whole reconnaissance company is here! Be alert!" The ten soldiers of the sharp knife squad did not return through the obstacles piled up by the big trees to the height of one person, but on both sides of the tree.  They spread out and squatted on guard. Many people were panting lightly while vigilantly monitoring the front. Company commander Xue Juru, who had climbed over the tree barrier, jumped into the pit and saw that his regiment commander had already caught up.  He was taken aback and quickly ordered the surrounding soldiers to be more vigilant.

    Then without saying a word, Xue Juru dragged the regiment leader Lu Huanyan to the shelter behind the third armored tank and then stopped. Lu Huanyan, who was dragged a little staggering along the way, broke away from Xue Juru's big hand and pushed him away.  After driving around a few guards, he couldn't help but said angrily,

    "Xue Juru! What's all the fuss about? Can't I come to the front of your reconnaissance company? Can the German bullets be aimed at me?"

    "Report to the leader, it's too dangerous here. Less than a kilometer ahead is the enemy's warning position, about 1 kilometer away from their main camp. We captured a sentry who came out to relieve himself, but unfortunately we were unable to  We brought the tongue back, but judging from the situation, the opponent was the main force of the 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division. They camped on high ground in the wetlands along the river. The width of the field fortifications was at least 5 kilometers. We did not dare to delay for fear of being attacked by the enemy.  I pulled back when I found out.¡±

    "The 1st Ukrainian Infantry Division? Is it true that they are Ukrainians and not Germans?" Lu Huanyan asked with a frown, his heartbeat speeding up unconsciously. Because the thunderous blow launched in the morning hit the empty space, this made the Chinese equipment?The regiment leader felt vaguely uneasy. The air strikes brought about by the coalition's huge air superiority actually failed to capture the main force of the Ukrainian National Army and left the positional battle. If in the plains, Lu Huanyan would have enough confidence to lead his regiment to defeat the opponent.  Even for an infantry division, the problem is that the current mechanized armored regiment's mobility is severely restricted by forest wetlands.

    "Captain, of course I can tell the difference between Ukrainians and Germans. The tongue is wearing the blue-gray uniform of the Ukrainian National Army. It is different from the gray-green uniform of the Germans. It is lighter than the Japanese and lighter than ours and the Germans.  People have to be a little deeper. Of course, the tongue is speaking in Ukrainian. At least I can understand Russian, and I finally got a rough idea after asking for a long time!

    The opponent should be the troops of the 1st Division of the Ukrainian National Army who had withdrawn from the first line of defense overnight. However, the strange thing is that from a distance, the opponent's position and camp did not look like they were newly built. They looked like tree stumps and fences used for fortifications.  The trouble has been there for at least a week." Captain Xue Juru, the commander of the armored reconnaissance company, is obviously a meticulous guy, and it is not easy to see so clearly in such a short time.

    "Captain, how are we going to fight? If the opponent is a division, I can beat the shit out of them just by looking at our regiment. We didn't catch them when we attacked the trench position in the morning, so we can't let the Ukrainians run away now!"  Tao Dayong, commander of the 1st Armored Battalion, is eager to try.
