Xu Rui took advantage of the situation and asked for the equipment of Zhukov's three divisions. In order to keep the Wolf Ya and continue the war, Zhukov reluctantly agreed. At this time, Xu Rui proposed the onion-cutting tactic to form an elite force to defeat the German army and defeat the German army.
Small groups of German troops were separated from the larger army and then annihilated.
After hearing Xu Rui's idea, Zhukov's eyes lit up and he said: "Comrade Xu Rui, can you tell me what is needed to form such a force?"
Xu Rui said simply: "I need tanks, and a lot of tanks. Only tanks have strong assault capabilities. Without tank attacks, it is an almost impossible task to penetrate the elite German front line."
.”
Zhukov frowned and said: "I have to think of a solution for this. There are very few tanks on the Moscow front line. If they are used to form a separate unit, it will weaken the combat effectiveness of the front line."
Zhukov walked a few steps with his hands behind his back and said: "In this way, I will hand over all the tanks of the 20th Army's tank brigade to you! You form a powerful armored assault corps to complete this mission."
Xu Rui said: "Forming an armored group is only one of them. I also need a large number of motorized troops. The tanks in the front will carry out the assault, and the motorized troops in the back will follow to complete the outflank. In this way, the stripped German troops can be
The troops are completely isolated from the German brigade, which is conducive to our army destroying the stripped German troops in the shortest possible time."
Zhukov thought for a while and said: "I will give you another 200 cars, and you can choose 3,000 people from the entire Moscow Red Army to form this motorized force."
Xu Rui said: "Temporarily transferring people will inevitably lead to poor coordination. In this case, I heard that there are two new divisions in the 20th Group Army that have just arrived from the eastern theater. Then I only need the troops of one of the regiments to fight with me.
Two hundred cars can just carry a regiment of troops."
Zhukov said: "No problem, I can put the most elite Khabarovsk Independent Regiment newly transferred from the eastern theater and the 200 tanks of the tank brigade to your command at the same time to form a new assault column. Comrade Xu Rui,
I will give you whatever you need. Winning the battle is more important than anything else."
Xu Rui said: "Comrade Zhukov, without further ado, I will go to the 20th Army Group, but this time it is a frontal battle. I don't want Langya to participate. Langya needs to rest in order to conduct more intense special operations."
"No problem. From now on, Langya will immediately enter a state of rest." Zhukov nodded.
Xu Rui left the Kremlin, drove with Diana to the headquarters of the 20th Army, and met Lieutenant General Vlasov.
When he heard that Xu Rui was going to deploy 200 tanks from his most effective tank brigade and the Khabarovsk Independent Regiment, Vlasov shook his head repeatedly and said: "Comrade Xu Rui, these 200 tanks are the last ones in Moscow."
Hope, and the Khabarovsk Independent Regiment is also the most combat-effective unit in the Red Army. If you remove them all, it will be difficult for me to start the subsequent battle."
Xu Rui said: "Comrade Vlasov, Comrade Zhukov have agreed to my battle plan, now you just need to cooperate with me unconditionally!"
After Xu Rui finished speaking, he handed Zhukov's military order to Vlasov. Vlasov saw that it was indeed Zhukov's order. He couldn't twist his thigh with his arm, so he reluctantly agreed to Xu Rui's deployment of his troops.
About an hour later, the 200 tanks of the tank brigade and the Khabarovsk Independent Regiment were assembled in place.
"Comrade Xu Rui, Tank Brigade Longganov reports to you!" A tall middle-aged man saluted Xu Rui.
"Comrade Zyuganov, I order your tank crew to get out of the car and rest immediately," Xu Rui said.
"Yes!" Zyuganov was a little confused and didn't know what kind of medicine Xu Rui was selling in his gourd, but he still responded.
"Comrade Xu Rui, Commander Kirilenko of the Khabarovsk Independent Regiment reports to you!" a soldier in his thirties said loudly.
Xu Rui looked behind the soldier and saw that the soldiers behind him were all extremely capable. He could tell at a glance that they were elite men.
Xu Rui nodded and said: "Comrade Kirilenko, order your soldiers to have a good rest first, eat well and sleep well."
"Yes!" Kirilenko nodded, and then asked: "Don't we attack immediately?"
Kirilenko and Zyuganov looked at each other in confusion, thinking that the troops had all been assembled. If Xu Rui didn't attack immediately, what on earth were he waiting for?
"No one is allowed to fight without my order," Xu Rui said.
"yes!"
Everyone immediately entered the camp to rest, but no one could sleep. Everyone knew that Xu Rui's formation of this army was going to be of great use. It would not be long before they would go to the battlefield to fight the Germans.
Xu Rui entered the room amidst everyone's surprised eyes and fell asleep.
During this sleep, Xu Rui slept for six full hours. During the six hours, Zyuganov and Kirilenko were like ants on a hot pot, constantly walking around, never coming in to the door of Xu Rui's room.
See if Xu Rui wakes up.
They still don't understand what Xu Rui means. Since they have formed this elite assault force, why not attack immediately?
The night was dark. Xu Rui finally woke up and washed his face. Xu Rui asked Kirilenko: "Is there anything to eat?"
Kirilenko quickly brought Xu Rui canned beef and caviar. Xu Rui grilled them on the fire, and then ate them regardless.
"You guys should eat too." Xu Rui saw Zyuganov and Kirilenko looking at him and said quickly.
"I can't eat it," Kirilenko said with a wry smile.
"We will set off soon. Our battle will last all night anyway. If you don't eat more, you will have no strength." Xu Rui said.
"Comrade Xu Rui, are you saying that we will take action soon?"
"yes."
Xu Rui looked at the time and said, "It's twenty-thirty now. Let's move on time at twenty-thirty. Eat something quickly, otherwise you won't have time to eat if you want to."
"Okay, let's go right now!"
Zyuganov and Kirilenko walked out excitedly.
After Xu Rui finished eating, he yawned, and Diana said, "What are your plans? Why haven't you taken action yet?"
Xu Rui said: "If you attack the enemy during the day, you will encounter great resistance, but it is different at night. We can attack the enemy suddenly and win a quick victory."
"So that's it," said Diana.
"Well, wait a minute, I'm waiting for an important person. As long as he comes back, we can set off."
"Who are you waiting for?" Diana asked.
"You'll find out soon."
"Captain."
Shi Xiaoqian walked into the room.
Xu Rui looked at Shi Xiaoqian and asked quickly: "How are things going?"
Shi Xiaoqian said: "Commander, we have completed the investigation of several German camps nearby, come and see!"
Shi Xiaoqian took a piece of paper and saw several circles of different sizes drawn on it.
"Commander, these are the German 1st Armored Division. There are two armored regiments, two mechanized infantry regiments, one artillery regiment, and one anti-tank battalion. The two armored regiments include four heavy tank battalions, each heavy tank battalion.
There are about 2,000 people in the tank battalion. These large circles are the locations of the heavy tank battalions, and the small circles are the German infantry battalions."
Xu Rui nodded and said: "A German infantry battalion has about 860 people, and a heavy tank battalion has about more than 2,000 people. With our army's combat effectiveness, it is still possible to kill one German heavy tank battalion at a time. Now
The only thing we are worried about is the German anti-tank battalion. We must kill the 1st Division's anti-tank battalion at the first moment of the attack, otherwise we will definitely suffer a major blow when the anti-tank battalion recovers."
"The anti-tank battalion is at this location, at the front end of Gogol Street, about two kilometers away from us in a straight line. On the frontal defense line, the German army deployed a mechanized infantry regiment." Shi Xiaoqian said.
"Ignore this infantry regiment for now. You will lead the way in a moment. We will kill the German anti-tank battalion as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Shi Xiaoqian responded.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Xu Rui said: "The action begins!"
The next moment, the bugle sounded, and then, three thousand soldiers from the Khabarovsk Independent Regiment and thousands of tank crew members from the tank brigade took their positions.
Xu Rui and Diana got into an armored command vehicle and said, "Let's go!"
"yes!"
The huge roar of the tank motor sounded instantly...
Luca is a second lieutenant platoon leader of the 1st Armored Division. The 2nd Mechanized Infantry Regiment where Luca belongs has a strong combat effectiveness. Since the outbreak of the Great Patriotic War, the 2nd Mechanized Infantry Regiment has followed the 1st Armored Division.
Kill from Poland all the way to the gates of Moscow.
Seeing the Soviets retreating steadily, Luka began to make plans. The head of state had already said that it would not take long for the war to be over. At that time, he could return to his hometown and live with his family on his retirement pay.
.
Unlike Italy and Japan, Germany has a strong democratic atmosphere and workers are well paid. You can do a job yourself and make your family live a happy life.
"Damn the weather!" Luka cursed. The winter in Moscow is much colder than that in Hamburg. In his hometown of Hamburg, there is even some warmth in the winter, and it is not as cold as Moscow.
Luka was even thinking in his heart, why did the head of state launch this damn war? The German land was already large enough, and there was no need to seize the Soviet land again, so that he would suffer in the cold here.
"Jonas, give me some of your brandy to warm me up," Luca said.
"Luca, there's only half a jug left, leave some for me." Sergeant Jonas handed the jug to Luca.
Luca took a sip of brandy and felt the heat from his body to his stomach, which made him feel very comfortable. He burped with satisfaction...
