Chapter 779: Within 2 meters, fast and accurate
Wang Meng didn't expect that he would fall into the enemy's trap. Although it was normal to have wins and losses in a battle, he didn't expect the losses to be so great.
"eye for eye!"
Wang Meng returned to the command center with a gloomy face, looked at Yuanshan who looked guilty, and waved at him.
"Captain Yuanshan, you don't have to feel guilty. This is the enemy's conspiracy and they planned it long ago. They put the horses in the valley and disguised them as cavalry. It is difficult to detect any clues from a long distance and under the cover of night."
"Chief of Staff, I just asked the scouts, they really didn't see it clearly, but based on the messy horse hoof prints and footprints outside the valley, they inferred that they had set an ambush in the valley.
I have already criticized them. Next time, I must observe from multiple angles and cross-check the intelligence!"
Wang Meng nodded. The Liberation Brigade lacked combat experience, so it was normal for them to make mistakes in judgment.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Although the Volunteer Army suffered heavy losses, the enemy didn't gain any benefits. I estimate that their overall strength is about the same as ours, so it's time to launch a counterattack tomorrow!"
After Wang Meng finished speaking, he looked at Yuan Shan who was eager to try, and then said:
"Let's leave the frontal engagement to your Liberation Brigade. The enemy is already at the end of its strength. The Liberation Brigade can kill them without leaving a single piece of armor behind if they charge head-on!"
Yuanshan nodded vigorously, as if he would only make up for the guilt in his heart by completely annihilating these bastards of the People's Army.
"Okay, I'll gather the troops right away. The horses in our stable can be used now!"
The distant mountains immediately disappeared, leaving all of Sayda’s defense to the volunteers, who then assembled their troops.
"Comrades, last night our Volunteer Army comrades were suddenly attacked by the enemy and suffered heavy losses, but they fought very tenaciously and bravely, withstanding the attack of the enemy three or four times their number and driving them back.
The enemy is now seriously injured, and it will all depend on our Liberation Brigade!"
When the soldiers of the Liberation Brigade heard yesterday about the plot against them by the People's Army, they were all filled with indignation and wished they could skin them alive and pull out their tendons.
"Revenge! Revenge!"
The officers and soldiers of the Liberation Brigade, from the brigade commander Yuanshan to the ordinary soldiers, all have a sense of gratitude towards the volunteers. They feel that the volunteers came to Mongolia from afar to fight against Choibalsan, and they are real proletarian fighters, not the red hegemony that is fake and persecutes the masses under the red flag!
Wang Meng looked at the soldiers of the Liberation Brigade, who were full of vigor and high spirits, and asked them to be ready to set off at any time.
"Chief of Staff, enemy tanks have been spotted in the eastern position, about twenty of them!"
The People's Army's tank unit was formed in 1942. At that time, 53 T-34 tanks were purchased from Country E at a high price to form the "Revolutionary Mongolia" tank unit.
Then, unexpectedly, Choibalsan's original purpose of organizing the tank troops was to help Country E fight Germany, so all of them were handed over to the 112th Red Flag Tank Brigade of the Country E Red Army.
So, they spent their own money to buy tanks from Country E and then returned them to Germany.
Later, the Mobei People's Army decided to attack Saida. Choibalsan spent a lot of time and effort, and finally got the 20 tanks back temporarily.
Of course, the right to use these twenty tanks now returns to the hands of Akfu, a citizen of country E.
Akfu was very satisfied with yesterday's plan before executing it, but after executing it, everything went beyond his expectations and he was severely taught a lesson.
Although the attack on Saida from the west achieved certain results, he was still not satisfied. After all, he believed that his command ability far surpassed Yuanshan, even crushing him.
There is only one possibility as to why the desired effect was not achieved, that is, the Mobei People's Army did not implement the offensive mission as planned and was afraid of death!
So Akif decided to go all out and gathered the remaining 6,000 cavalry, plus tank troops, to launch a final attack on Saida.
Before giving the order, he also calculated the success rate, which was less than 50%.
But in his eyes, the lives of these Mobei People's Army soldiers were like grass and not worth mentioning.
According to the battle situation last night, the defenders of Sayda no longer have many shells. His tank troops can be said to have no rivals!
Are they still afraid that the Liberation Brigade will use the Type 34 rifle to penetrate the armor of the T-?
However, he seemed to have forgotten that the Sidar defenders were constantly creating miracles, one miracle after another. Could they use conventional thinking to consider the problem?
“Brigade Commander Yuanshan, leave the enemy tanks to our Volunteer Army. You disperse to the two wings. Wait until we have dealt with the enemy tanks, then you go up and defeat them in one fell swoop!
There can't be any surprises this time, because there's only half a regiment east of Sayda!"
Although Brigade Commander Yuanshan was a little worried about whether the Volunteer Army could destroy the enemy's T-34, seeing Wang Meng's confident expression, he led his troops to move towards the enemy's two wings. Now he could only do his own thing well, and not causing trouble for Wang Meng was the greatest help!
Wang Meng ordered his guard company to send a platoon with anti-tank rockets to lurk to the front line and keep a close eye on the T-34 tanks lined up in a row.
The armor of this tank is between 40-60 mm, and the anti-tank rockets equipped by the Volunteer Army can easily penetrate it. If one shot is difficult to penetrate, then two shots!
The arrogant T-34 tanks were like a piece of cake, as if they were in an empty space, and it seemed to vent all its resentment of being bullied by the Tiger tanks on the battlefield on Saida, constantly firing at imaginary targets, raising dust everywhere.
It’s bad enough that we were bullied by the Tiger tank, but we were also bullied by your Type 38 rifles?
impossible!
The T-34 rushed up to the position in a swagger, completely ignoring the seemingly non-existent defenders. It did not even deploy into an attacking formation, let alone any coordination between infantry and tanks.
A red flare was launched into the air, and more than twenty anti-tank rocket launchers rushed out and flew towards their respective targets.
In less than five seconds, more than a dozen tanks erupted with huge explosions and then turned into a ball of fire.
The remaining five tanks realized something was wrong when they saw the tanks exploding and catching fire next to them. They immediately reversed and ran over the cavalry behind them, without any regard for their comrades.
How could the soldiers in the trenches on the front line let them go? They raised their rocket launchers, aimed again, and pulled the trigger!
Within two hundred meters, the rocket launcher is fast and accurate!
Under the concentrated fire of more than a dozen rocket launchers, five T-34s were turned into scrap metal.
At this time, the cavalry of the Mobei People's Army, who were slow to react, remembered the so-called infantry-tank coordination and launched a charge!
However, their opponents were definitely not the soldiers in the trenches, but the soldiers of the Liberation Brigade rushing over from both wings!
