The pride of recruits
If the Battle of Novosibirsk was the first time that the Northeast Army's "Snow Tiger" main battle tank made its mark in the war, then the Sino-Soviet Tank Battle in the Urals three months later was a gathering of powerful firepower, flexible maneuverability, and heavy defense. A stage where the "Snow Tiger" in full display shows off his talents. The first armored unit of the Northeastern Army designated to receive the "Snow Tiger" tank was the 101st Heavy Armored Division, and the second was the 110th Heavy Armored Division. The division was incorporated into the Fifth Armored Group Army of the Northeastern Army during the Ural Battle at the end of 1942. Although the 110th Heavy Armored Division has been fighting on the Eastern Front since the beginning of the Soviet War, and officers and soldiers at all levels have accumulated rich combat experience, the brutal battles also caused a large reduction in the number of troops. Therefore, nearly half of the new "Snow Tiger" main force The members of the battle tank are all rookie recruits who have completed the preliminary armor training course from the Armored Forces Academy of the Northeast Great Wall Military Academy. However, the full fighting passion and the excitement of getting the latest tanks still make these young boys devote themselves to the training energetically. middle. Since the "Pangu" operation was imminent, the training courses were repeatedly compressed. Before accepting "Snow Tiger" tanks in batches, the recruits had to use "Siberian Tiger" or "No. 2" medium tanks to complete the off-road driving and training in the tactical tutorial. Shooting subjects of tank guns and tank machine guns.
Sergeant Cui Minghua is a member of the "Snow Tiger" main battle tank. His company belongs to the 688th Tank Regiment of the 110th Heavy Armored Division of the Northeast Army. The following chapters are from Sergeant Choi¡¯s memoirs¡ª¡ª
In September 1942, after completing the basic armored training course, I was assigned to the Army Tank Base in Dihua, Western Xinjiang to receive a two-month special driving training course. The training was extremely strict, not only because the course schedule was quite tight. , but also because of the mysterious sense of urgency we feel all the time. But at that time, the constant battle reports coming from the front line made us recruits who had not yet entered the battlefield excited. Our army troops had captured the Soviet Far East fortress - Novosibirsk, and the navy troops were also making great progress on the Pacific battlefield. , and even captured Pearl Harbor, the headquarters of the US Pacific Fleet, in one fell swoop. No one doubts that we will win the final victory, because we are an invincible army and we have a great and wise leader like Marshal Zhang Xueliang. Regarding war, instead of negative emotions such as fear and fear, we have more enthusiastic emotions full of expectation and hope. Because this is a great war, a rejuvenation war that allows our Chinese nation to rise again. As a soldier, what an honor it is to just catch up with this historical opportunity! How proud and glorious it is to fight bloody battles for our country and nation!
To this day, I still remember the instructor¡¯s stern tone when he called the roll call at the beginning of the course. He ordered none of us to mention the model, data, specific course schedule, etc. of the new tank outside the scope of the teaching, and we were not allowed to use the Taking photos of new tanks in the name of private collection, and the teaching notes are strictly prohibited from being leaked! Once violated, the minor case will be demoted, and the serious case will be directly dismissed from the military. We were all very nervous at the time, and the instructor¡¯s serious expression really made us feel funny, because we still haven¡¯t seen what the ¡°new¡± tank he kept talking about looked like. However, when we chatted with the instructor in our spare time, he revealed that the new tank is also an improved and strengthened version of our Northeast Army's main battle tank "Siberian Tiger", officially numbered as "No. 4" tank or "Siberian Tiger-2" main battle tank Tank, but it has a more majestic name, "Snow Tiger".
On October 5th, less than half a month had passed since we officially replenished the 110th Heavy Armored Division and entered the battlefield. In our eager anticipation, the military train from the northeastern mainland to Western Xinjiang finally arrived for us. We were looking forward to seeing the "Snow Tiger" tank. When the instructor lifted up the heavy canvas covering the military train compartment, we all suddenly let out a sound of exclamation. What is displayed in front of us is a heavy tank with a uniform shape that can be described as handsome. The new alloy armor shines with a dazzling metallic luster under the sunlight. The thick 120 mm caliber smoothbore main gun is exposed. With a murderous intent, the majestic steel body is colorfully interlaced with black and white camouflage. Looking from a distance, the entire tank really looks like a snow tiger that is lying on the ground and preparing to pounce on its prey.
The instructor looked at us with bright eyes: "This is our 'Snow Tiger' tank! And your task is to remember the training you have received, and then drive and control them to defeat the Soviet tanks on the battlefield. -34, 'Stalin', 'Sherman', and 'Pershing' were all turned into scrap metal!" He told us the various parameters and detailed data of the "Snow Tiger" in detail: the total weight of the tank is 48 tons, the crew members 6 people, the tank is 7.75 meters long, 2.55 meters high, and 3.63 meters wide. The weapons are a 120mm smoothbore cannon, a 12.7mm high-level dual-purpose heavy machine gun, and two 7.92mm auxiliary machine guns. It carries 75 new rounds.; We all immediately gritted our teeth and were filled with indignation: "It's a Chinese name! It's indeed Chinese! Damn traitor!"
Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang¡¯s expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: ¡°Are you Mao Anying, the son of Mr. Mao, the chairman of the Northern Alliance?¡±
"Yes!" the Soviet lieutenant said coldly. Suddenly we were all shocked. His father turned out to be Mr. Mao, Chairman of the Communist Party of China! Then why would he still work for the Soviets and fight with us? It¡¯s simply unbelievable! Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang asked our question: "Since you are Chinese and Mr. Mao's son, why did you join the Soviet army to fight against the army of your motherland? What is the difference between your behavior and that of a treasonous traitor?"
Mao Anying glared at Deputy Battalion Commander Zhang: "Zhang Luqi, please figure out who is the traitor? Also, why does your Northeast Army represent the entire Chinese army? You are just local separatist warlords! This war of yours is against the Soviets. Aggression! It is an unjust war! The Soviet Union is a communist country under the dictatorship of the proletariat. It is the center of the world¡¯s proletarian workers¡¯ and peasants¡¯ revolution! It is a red country created by Mr. Lenin! It is the holy land of the Communist International! It is the hope of the world! And it is me As my second hometown, I should naturally participate in this great Patriotic War! You actually helped the German devils fight against the Soviet Union. You are the real traitors!" He became more and more excited as he spoke, "Germany is an evil country! You guys Do you know that they massacred millions of Jews and people in the occupying countries in Europe? They burned, killed, and looted everywhere they went! You are actually allied with them! You are on the same page as them! You are working together!"
We all looked at the two of them with strange eyes. One was the son of Marshal Zhang and the other was the son of Mr. Mao of the Communist Party of China. He was one of the top three "gongzi brothers" in China. We didn't dare to interrupt. Zhang Hui, Li Zhi and I suddenly broke into cold sweats when we thought about how we almost shot Mr. Mao's son.
Zhang Luqi sneered: "Comrade Mao Anying, have you lived in the Soviet Union for too long and been dizzy by the milk and bread of the Soviet Union? Just give you a small profit and forget about your ancestors? Communism, the Three People's Principles, Capitalism , to me are all unfathomable things, I dare not be interested in them, I only know that I am fighting for my motherland now, and we are fighting for the interests of our Chinese nation! What other doctrines and ideologies are there? It¡¯s all nonsense! How can Germany burn, kill and loot, as long as it¡¯s not targeting us Chinese, what does it have to do with us? Why do we ally with Germany? That¡¯s because Germany has no conflict of interest with China, and the Soviet Union is China¡¯s mortal enemy. ! Look at the map for yourself. How much of our northern territory did the Soviet Union seize? Transkhingan Range, Baikal, Sakhalin, Vladivostok plus the former Chinese vassals in the northwest, a total of four million square kilometers! Such a bloody feud. , according to your logic, just say that everyone believes in the same doctrine and just dismiss it lightly? Mr. Mao Anying, if I come to your house to rob you now, and after the robbery you come to me to settle the score, I say, I also believe in communism now Now, are you just going to forget about me robbing your house? Ridiculous! Our Northeastern Army is fighting for the Chinese nation, and you? Why are you fighting? Also, let me remind you that the Soviet Union and communism are two different things. Concept, safeguarding communism does not mean safeguarding the Soviet Union. Besides, Marx and Engels, the initiators of communist ideas, are not Soviets. They are all Germans, and they are all German devils in your mouth."
Mao Anying's face turned red: "The disputes over the northern territories are all issues left over from history"
Zhang Luqi retorted: "Then why didn't Stalin solve it earlier? Lenin also said that he would return the northern territory to us, but Stalin regarded what Lenin said as nonsense. Now we are carrying out a revenge war, what is wrong?"
"But you are unjust!" Mao Anying said angrily, "Your Northeast Army massacred eight million Vietnamese in the 13 provinces of Vietnam! These are your bad records! Do you know how many Soviet people died in this war you launched? ? How many families and wives have been separated? How many people have been displaced? What is the difference between you and the German Nazis!"
"No difference!" Zhang Luqi sneered, "But what does it matter? I said that morality, justice, and doctrine are all boring things to us. We only care about the interests of the nation and the country, and for the interests of the Chinese nation The rise of the motherland and the rejuvenation of the motherland, we don¡¯t mind that our hands are stained with blood! Only the strong are qualified to talk about morality, justice, and doctrine; and the weak have no mercy! Because this world is the survival of the fittest and the law of the jungle! Remember! , national interests are above all else! Including your so-called ideology. Just because we are against the Soviet Union does not mean that we are against communism; and you, the Soviet Union, the mortal enemy of the motherland, think it is to safeguard communism. Regardless of whether the Soviet Union believes in communism. It's still capitalism, even if it believes in the Three People's Principles, we've decided on this battle!" He turned around, not looking at Mao Anying's face that turned green and white, and waved his hands, "Send him to the division headquarters, and then Leave it to the general, take good care of it on the way, and make sure nothing happens."
"Yes." We said in unison. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)With a smile, he waved his hand and said, "Send him to the division headquarters and then hand him over to General Yu. Take good care of him on the way and make sure nothing goes wrong."
"Yes." We said in unison. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
