July 29, 1816, 7 a.m.
The defensive line of the Western Front of the Tsarist Imperial Army. The commander of the Western Front and commander of the 3rd Army, General Milorov, is discussing with the commanders of the 8th Army, the 9th Army, the 10th Army, as well as the Commanders of the 53rd Army, the 54th Army and the 55th Army.
“General Vilimovich, it’s up to you next!” Admiral Miloraf said.
“Your Excellency Commander, what we are going to attack next is the trenches of the heavily garrisoned Austro-Hungarian Army! Of course, if it were just us attacking, it would be difficult for us to break through their defenses. If you don’t get it right, you will pay heavy losses. On the battlefield on the Western Front, the Germans, the Sun Never Set and the Gauls, but they have already paid a very large point! The commander of the 8th Army, Lieutenant General Wilimovich, said.
“Of course! The Austro-Hungarian Army must have believed that these trenches could withstand our attack. Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor has already put the killer troops of the Imperial Army into the battlefield.
In an hour, the 1st and 2nd Armoured Brigades of the Imperial Army will attack. The 8th Army, on the other hand, had to send infantry units to follow them even more. After they broke through the trenches of the Austro-Hungarian Army, they entered the trenches of the Austro-Hungarian Army and destroyed the remnants of the enemy in the position! Admiral Miloraf said.
Let the soldiers use human lives to fill the trenches of the Austro-Hungarian Army, which the top of the Russian Empire naturally would not agree to.
Tsar Mikhail would likewise not agree.
You know, on the battlefield on the Western Front, this is the current way of fighting.
Both the Germans, the Sunseters and the Gauls paid great losses in the trench battles.
This is why the Austro-Hungarian Army firmly believed that they could withstand the attack of the Russian Imperial Army with the fortifications here.
Lieutenant General Vilimovich nodded, but his face remained serious.
Although, the top of the empire, including His Majesty the Tsar, were full of praise for the armored forces. But were these iron pimples really able to break the trenches of the Austro-Hungarian Army? If they can’t, then the problem is serious! If it didn’t work, the 8th Army would have to pay a heavy price for it.
Admiral Miloraf smiled and did not say much.
This was the first time that the armored units of the Imperial Russian Army were put into actual combat. It is completely understandable that those generals, and even the officers and soldiers below, still have doubts about this.
Of course, soon they will know whether these armored forces have such combat power.
You know, now the Russian Imperial Army has only established a total of 5 armored brigades. This time, all were handed over to the Western Front. It can be seen that Tsar Mikhail attached great importance to the attack of the Western Front.
Each armored brigade has two tank battalions, four infantry battalions, and one artillery battalion. Together with other units directly under the brigade headquarters, there are more than 9,000 people in total. It seems that there are not many troops, but the combat effectiveness is very strong.
Each tank battalion was equipped with 60 tanks, and each infantry battalion was equipped with 60 armored vehicles. Thus, an armored brigade was armed with one hundred and twenty tanks and two hundred and forty armored vehicles.
In this era, this is definitely already an extremely powerful torrent of steel. There is absolutely no army that can withstand the onslaught of the steel torrent of the Tsarist Imperial Army. Even the Germanic Imperial Army is the same, let alone the Austro-Hungarian Army, which learned the tactics of the Germanic Imperial Army.
At 8 o’clock in the morning, the artillery fire of the Tsarist Imperial Army began to extend into the deep defense of the Austro-Hungarian Army.
And the attacking forces also launched an attack at this time.
“Boom!”
The engines of tanks and armored vehicles roared like thunder.
One by one, black, shining metallic iron guys drove out from behind the Russian positions and slowly drove towards the defense line of the Austro-Hungarian Army.
At the forefront, it is the first generation of tanks officially equipped by the Tsarist Imperial Army that can be put into real combat. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
This tank was officially codenamed the T-13 light tank. This light tank, weighing 9.8 tons, is armed with a 57 mm tank gun, a 7.62 mm heading machine gun, a 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun and a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun. The nose part of the hull was made of inclined armor with a thickness of 45 mm, which made it resistant to small-caliber shells. The maximum road speed is 30 km/h and the maximum off-road speed is 12 km/h.
It was followed by tracked armored vehicles. Codenamed BMP-12 armored vehicle. Armament is a 20mm rapid-fire gun and a 7.62mm heavy machine gun. The front-end armor thickness was 25 mm, the side and rear armor thickness was 15 mm, which made it resistant to close fire from heavy machine guns. In addition, there are firing holes on both sides of the hull, through which the soldiers can fire outward. One BMP-12 armored vehicle can fit the entire personnel and equipment of one infantry squad.
Although, because of technical limitations.
Whether it is a T-13 light tank or a BMP-12 armored vehicle, it looks very simple, and can even be described as ugly.
However, in this era, this is undoubtedly an epoch-making weapon.
As for why the code name of the tank is indicated by the letter T, and the armored car is indicated by BMP, that is the bad taste of Tsar Mikhail. In another time and space, didn’t Maozi’s tanks and armored vehicles also use such code names?
Two armored brigades, each of which was one hundred and twenty T-13 light tanks and two hundred and forty BMP-12 armored vehicles.
These tanks and armored vehicles, forming a torrent of steel, launched an offensive against the defense line of the Austro-Hungarian Army.
And this way of attacking the Russian army, even the other units of the Russian army, especially the infantry who are preparing to attack with these armored forces, are greatly shocked.
Many people are even seeing these tanks for the first time.
Not to mention the soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian Army opposite.
When these Austro-Hungarian soldiers, urged by their officers, entered the trenches and prepared to resist the attack of the Russian army. They found that all that the Tsarist Imperial Army invested was these black iron pimples, which were mad to look at!
“‘Oh God! What the hell are those things? ”
“Are Russians the devil? Did they find the weapons used by these demons from hell? ”
Many Austrian soldiers were already frightened.
It seemed that it was difficult for the Austro-Hungarian Army to withstand the attack of the Tsarist Army with trenches.
