Chapter 245 Helplessness towards Tanks
Then there was a loud explosion, which seemed to wake up the Soviets. This was definitely not the power of artillery shells. Looking in the distance, they saw planes coming back. The Chinese were definitely going to attack.
In the past, their air force attacks and artillery bombardments were separate, and only in the last two times were they carried out together.
"Hurry up, hurry up, everyone get into position, the Chinese are going to attack, their planes have already dropped bombs, don't worry, holding our position means victory." Although these political commissars did not want to believe that the Chinese army dared to attack their Soviet army, the facts were before them and they could not help but believe that the Chinese army was really going to attack. A black line had already appeared on the distant horizon. It was still unclear what it was, but it was definitely a Chinese soldier.
The military uniforms are easy to distinguish. The Soviets wear khaki uniforms, while the Chinese wear German uniforms, some of which are black. I don't know what they are thinking. They actually want to use German uniforms. It is said that the German army is the best in the world. Are you Chinese so stupid? Do you think that wearing German uniforms will give you the fighting power of the Germans?
Our great Soviet army will never retreat. Even if the real Germans come, they will not be our opponents. We Soviets are known as a fighting nation.
"Captain, look, these are Chinese tanks. Chinese tanks are coming. Let's pull out our anti-tank guns, captain?" An ordinary soldier saw a large number of tanks appearing on the distant horizon. He dared to guarantee that these tanks were definitely more powerful than the tanks of their armored forces, because they looked much thicker than theirs with the naked eye. Their tanks were just a layer of iron sheet.
"They are actually going to attack. These Chinese people really don't know their own life or death. They think they can attack us with tanks. Let you taste the power of our anti-tank guns. Pull out our anti-tank guns and let them know that we are also capable of resistance. We are definitely not those Japanese?" At this stage, in addition to those anti-tank guns, there are 37mm anti-tank guns. This is the most important anti-armor weapon in the Soviet army. Because they have practiced with this kind of anti-tank gun, it is very powerful when facing their own tanks. Because their own tanks are only 15mm thick, the 37mm gun will definitely not be a problem.
Even ordinary soldiers can see that China's tanks are much more powerful than your Soviet tanks. There is no reason why the company commander cannot see it. In fact, the company commander certainly understands it, but what can he do? Their army has nothing else to deal with tanks except these 37mm artillery, so they have to use some of them.
It's better to have it than not, otherwise, would the soldiers have to rush forward with their own bodies? Although they also heard that the Japanese used the grenades on their bodies to deal with the Chahar Armored Regiment when they faced it, but in the end, those who used this method must have died there.
If it was during the Patriotic War of World War II, the Soviets would definitely have made such sacrifices, but now they are facing the Chinese, and they feel there is no need to fight in such a brutal way. In their hearts, the Chinese and the Germans are certainly not comparable. The German army is the best in the world, and the Chinese army can't even keep up with ours.
The 37mm anti-tank gun was pulled out quickly. For them, this thing held all their hopes. There were quite a few of these things on the Soviet positions. Although many of them were destroyed by planes, nearly 30 guns could be pulled out now, which was already quite good. The main reason was that this thing was very small in size and could be pulled into the air-raid shelter at any time during the air force bombing.
However, those large artillery pieces are relatively large in size, and the Air Force first targets those large ones. The Air Force really doesn't have much interest in such small things. Using a 500kg bomb to blow up such a small thing is really a waste of talent.
"They are very close, fire." With the order from the company commander, everyone around felt a vibration, and a 37mm shell was fired.
According to their imagination, this shell should hit the tank in the front, and then the whole tank will stall. They have seen this many times during the test. However, what you are experimenting with is your Soviet thin-skinned large tank, and this is the American tank of the Chahar Army. There is a big gap between the two. Whether it can catch fire is of course an unknown.
Hit!!! At such a close distance, if he can’t hit the target again, he can just take the gunner to be shot. Maybe this guy was highly myopic during the physical examination.
Unfortunately, the scene that the Soviet army had expected did not appear. The tanks did not catch fire, and they did not even stop, but maintained their original speed. They had never thought that a tank could be so powerful. The shell hit the tank head-on and only left a black mark on the surface of the tank.
How fucking thick is this armor? Our anti-tank guns hit you at a distance of several hundred meters, but there was no reaction at all. Even if the speed slowed down a little, we knew that some effect had been achieved. It is still moving forward at a high speed. Now it is less than 300 meters away from their trenches, and these tanks have no intention of slowing down. Are they trying to rush directly over the trenches?
The Chinese tanks are really terrifying, and they have already opened fire. The firepower of this tank is simply deadly. In addition to their artillery, they actually have three machine guns, and all of them are heavy machine guns. One of the machine guns fires large-caliber bullets. Some of the fortifications we built are like paper in front of them.
Soviet soldiers did not receive much training. Their so-called training was just some goose-stepping. They received very little training in real military firepower, and were even not as good as the Japanese. Their individual combat capabilities were actually not as good as those of the Japanese.
When they win a battle, they are braver than anyone else, but when they lose a battle, they retreat faster than anyone else. As a fighting nation, they can only fight when the wind is favorable to them. If they fail, the chances of them surrendering are very high.
