Anti-Japanese War: Young Marshal? No, please call me Great Power

Chapter 123

The width of the Borgia River varies from 9 to 22 meters, the average depth is 1.4, and the level is relatively gentle.

But this river, which was not wide, became the graben of the 18th Infantry Corps of the Hairy Bear.

On the orders of Army Commander Aselev.

He concentrated the main forces of two divisions and launched an offensive on the line of defense of the Borja River, which was more than 20 kilometers along the river.

Since they do not have ships.

So he cut wood to build windsurfing boards.

Some are direct water-dripping attacks.

Under the cover of a small number of artillery fire.

The Maozi soldiers came like a tide.

Zhang Lingfu had already reconnoitred the Borja River tens of kilometers along the route.

And at least one platoon of troops was placed everywhere where it was easy to break through.

The whole division of more than 10,000 people, except for the guard battalion, was all sent to guard the river.

In the face of several times more than them, they also have to defend such a long line of defense.

The pressure is still very high.

Not enough, Zhang Lingfu did not feel anything.

The credo of the 1st Airborne Division is to fight the hardest battles, fight the most dangerous battles.

Under his leadership.

Although it was only a little over a month.

But the soldiers of the 1st Airborne Division were trained by him to become howling wolf cubs.

Face Maozi soldiers who launched a river crossing operation.

The 1st Airborne Division also launched a counterattack.

Although they are just an airborne force.

But their heavy firepower is not less.

At the same time, the supplies are also very sufficient.

The main equipment is the M1 camel 75mm howitzer, and the army is equipped with a total of 36 guns.

And each platoon was equipped with a 60-mm mortar squad.

Each battalion was assigned to an 82-mm mortar platoon.

The number of 29 guns of various types equipped even exceeded the tens of thousands of people in front of the 18th Infantry Corps.

"Enemy artillery positions behind the target forest ....... Yuan binding... Launch! "

A counterattack of artillery began.

Dense shells skimmed over the attacking forces.

smashed into artillery positions hidden behind the forest.

Immediately destroyed two Maozi 76-mm light howitzers.

At the same time, the soldiers in the position also launched a counterattack.

The 1st Battalion of the 3rd Airborne Regiment of the 1st Airborne Division was stationed in the upper middle section of the Borja River.

At the same time, it is also the gentlest river in the entire direction.

At the same time, it is also the shallowest section, with a depth of only about 0.3-0.5 meters and a width of only 12 meters.

So this became the direction of Maozi's main attack.

The first battalion of the third regiment was the most elite infantry battalion in the division.

It was arranged here by Zhang Lingfu.

Two battalions of hairy bear soldiers crowded together.

A fierce assault was launched on the positions of a battalion.

They also concentrated more than a dozen mortars as support fire.

Dense shells continued to fall on positions and trenches.

Also brought some losses by the first battalion.

However, the counterattack from the side of the first battalion was also very rapid.

The whole battalion of 12 60-mm and 82-mm mortars concentrated on the fire suppression of the Mao Bear's mortars.

"Ula..."

Under the cover of artillery fire, the Mao Bear soldiers jumped into the river.

Although it is almost May, the rivers in Siberia are still cold.

But it couldn't stop their attack.

"Hit!"

Staring at the furry bear's fierce artillery fire.

The first and second companies of the first battalion attacked.

As for the third company, it is used as a reserve, and where there are large casualties, it will be replenished.

12 MG34 general-purpose machine guns made a tearing sound in unison.

At the same time, the soldier also leaned out.

Shoot at the bearly soldiers crossing the river with their FG42 rifles and submachine guns.

The dense bullets hit the crowd almost instantaneously.

"Poof..."

The figure of bullets penetrating the human body kept ringing.

The hairy bear soldiers fell in pieces like cutting wheat.

After a while, blood stained the river red.

Under the rhythmic short burst of the machine gunner.

It easily suppressed the hairy bear's attacking force in the river beach.

The ferocious firepower was vividly displayed at this time.

At this time, Maozi's machine gun was also mounted on the other side of the river.

I want to suppress the firepower of a battalion.

But at this time.

In the corner of the position, two canvases were lifted.

Two 20-mm Erlykon anti-aircraft guns were revealed.

At the moment the muzzles of these two 20-mm Erlykon anti-aircraft guns were flattened.

Aimed at the hairy bear machine gun position on the other side of the river.

"Knock knock knock . . ."

The dense stream of cannon bullets rained down on the bear's heavy machine gun position.

A dense explosion erupted immediately.

The hairy bear's machine gunner was even more stumped and severed under the dense shells.

Even heavy machine guns were beaten into parts in the dense explosion.

As an anti-aircraft gun capable of a combat rate of fire of 350 rounds per minute.

Flat it is simply an infantry nightmare.

As the saying goes.

Anti-aircraft artillery leveled, court-martial.

This can be seen from this joking remark.

What does it mean for infantry when the muzzle of the anti-aircraft gun is flattened.

After knocking out the exposed machine gun fire points of the hairy bear.

The muzzle began to turn towards the crowd.

Under the terrified eyes of the hairy bear soldiers.

A dense stream of cannon shells hit the crowd.

Suddenly, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and blood splashed like a fountain.

It's like a slaughterhouse.

But this still did not scare the bear soldiers.

At this moment, they were holding a breath in their hearts.

Just break through the immediate direction.

They will be able to go home.

So they began to attack regardless of casualties.

At this time, the ferocity they showed was more than that of the little devils. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）

I don't know how long the battle took.

At this moment, the river beach and the river are already covered with the corpses of the woolly bear soldiers.

Their style of play, completely disregarding casualties, also inspired the ferocity of the first battalion.

This not very strong position was like a steel wall in front of them.

Not only here, but the entire section of the Borgia River is dyed red.

The river will surely have a pretty good catch in the coming year.

The grass by the river will also be more fertile.

The battle lasted almost an hour.

The number of losses has also exceeded three thousand.

But not a single position was broken.

This also made the military leaders of the 18th Army more and more impatient.

However, they have missed the best time to attack.

Now it's basically impossible for them to run.

Because the support group from the First Air Force came.

The first to arrive was not the Mustang, Thunderbolt or Mosquito fighters.

But a completely new fighter.

It is the A-1 Sky Raider ground attack aircraft that was only supported yesterday night.

It made its maiden flight in 1945.

It was not commissioned until 46 years after the end of the war.

But even so, it performed very well in many wars after the war.

As the last piston propeller attack aircraft.

The performance of the A-1 Skyraider attack aircraft is very strong.

It is equipped with a 2500 hp air-cooled engine.

There are a total of 15 weapon pylons under the entire fuselage.

It can carry 12 100 kg bombs and three 250 kg bombs.

Or 12 127mm rockets and 3 500 kg mounts.

The theoretical limit loading capacity can reach 6.6 tons.

In addition to this, it has two cannons of 20 mm caliber built-in.

From here on the bomb configuration and weapon configuration.

You can see how ferocious this A-1 Skyraider attack aircraft is.

It also has very good low-altitude performance and heavy protective armor.

This time, three groups came to attack 90 aircraft.

In addition to this, 320 Mustang and Thunderbolt fighters and 90 Mosquito fighter-bombers came.

A full 500 fighters were thrown into the battle.

After arriving over the battlefield of Borja, they went straight into battle.

Seeing the figure of a hairy bear soldier on the ground, it was a cannonball and bullets to greet the past.

In particular, the A-1 Skyraider attack aircraft.

Their firepower is so ferocious that even the P-47D Thunderbolt fighter has to bow down.

After a while, they were beaten to the ground.

Where there is still a spirit to launch an attack on the 1st Airborne Division across the river.

The arrival of these fighters also relieved the pressure on the 1st Airborne Division.

More than half an hour later, the fleet was still flying in the sky.

At this time their bomb load was no longer very much.

But at this time.

The 7th Panzer Division, which was ahead of the 3rd Panzer Division, was the first to arrive on the battlefield.

After seeing that the 18th Infantry Corps was completely dispersed by the Air Force.

Wave your hand directly, reckless!

Their arrival basically means that the end of this battle is already predetermined.

177 This encirclement of the Borja River.

The Northeast Army put in three armored divisions and four mechanized infantry divisions.

Maozi's 18th Infantry Corps was encircled.

Under the final general assault the next morning.

With more than half of the casualties, they had no choice but to raise the white flag.

During the Battle of Borja.

The Northeast Army annihilated more than 24,000 enemies.

More than 13,000 bearly soldiers were captured.

The three main forces of the 18th Infantry Corps, the 19th Infantry Corps and the 5th Mechanized Infantry Corps were destroyed.

Most of the living forces of the Far Eastern Special Army were annihilated.

The entire Far East fell into the embarrassing situation of empty troops.

"Continue to the northwest along the railway line, occupy all the towns along the road, and lay down Chita."

The torrent of steel formed by an army of more than 100,000 steel continued to advance.

At this moment, they are only about 350 kilometers away from Chita.

Along the way, the main forces of Army Group First advanced vigorously.

No force could stop their offensive at all.

After a high-intensity march that took two days.

They finally approached Chita.

Blyuchel was helpless in the face of such a ferocious offensive.

On the Kazan side, troops were sent for emergency reinforcements.

But they will arrive at least two more days away.

And he has one division of troops left in his hands.

So he can only abandon the perimeter defense.

Shrink forces to defend Chita.

The armored forces of the Northeast Army are very powerful.

However, it is difficult to play to its advantages in cities.

If he fights in the streets, he still has a chance to drag on for a few days.

Something he didn't expect.

The more than 100,000-strong army of the First Panzer Army Group did not launch an attack on Chita.

It just surrounded Chita.

Its purpose is clear.

Laying down Chita did not do Zhang Xueming any good.

Using Chita to attract reinforcements, while promoting peace, is his goal.

The war between the Northeast Border Guards and the Mao Bear attracted worldwide attention.

The changes in the battle situation in the past few days were completely beyond everyone's expectations.

Especially when they reached the news that Chita was surrounded.

All of them were shocked and inexplicable, unbelievable.
