Eight hundred and twentieth eight chapters give up
No one found anything wrong with this.
Because the quality of the German infantry is very good, and the infantry divisions actually have artillery and armor...the infantry divisions only have relatively few artillery and tanks.
Those artillery and tank crews will simply teach them some basic control knowledge, and even use veterans and recruits together. That is, a veteran and several recruits will form an artillery team or a tank team, and it can barely operate.
The infantry operated in this way is equipped with a large number of artillery and tanks, and coupled with its air superiority, there is no doubt that the pursuing troops behind it will be blocked from the defense line.
The large troops of the Don River Army abandoned all heavy equipment and drove cars, bucket trucks, and tricycles to break out of the encirclement through mountain roads or even from non-road locations. In just one day, the Don River Army had already jumped out of the encirclement.
At this time, the 51st Army Headquarters knew nothing about this, and Shulka was still nervously directing the frontline battle with Zolotarev Veniamenko and others.
The fighting in Milowe City has stabilized. Not only has it stabilized, but reinforcements have been continuously sent to the "No. 3" highland and Butul Village.
Of course, these reinforcements were ordinary people sent to the battlefield after simple training (basically just knowing how to shoot), and they all used German Mauser rifles.
But this is not important. What is important is that they can cause a little trouble to the German army and bring troops and some necessary supplies to two places that are severely short of troops.
The battle in the direction of "No. 3" Highland has never been fierce. This is determined by the terrain of "No. 3" Highland.
Highland "No. 3" is not suitable for tank operations.
This is not to say that German tanks cannot drive up "Highland No. 3". In fact, most places on "Highland No. 3" are not steep. If the Germans are willing, they can pull their tanks up.
The problem is that it is difficult for tanks of this era to adapt to fighting on steep slopes: on steep slopes, the rotation and aiming of the tank turret are different from those on flat ground. In this position, you can aim at the target, and when you turn it sideways, the barrel will be aimed at the sky or the ground.
(This situation can easily occur if the left and right sides of the tank body are unbalanced).
On the other hand, the Soviet airborne troops are equipped with a large number of rocket launchers, which can effectively hide and destroy tanks in jungles, shrubs or rugged mountains.
In fact, wild grassland with a height of half a person is the most suitable for rocket launcher shooters to hide, because they only need to use the same kind of wild grass as camouflage, and then it is difficult to be discovered wherever they lie down. They can even kneel down to prepare for launch with confidence.
Pre-aim, until you are about to shoot, then suddenly raise your chest and pull the trigger...
Before the enemy could react, the rocket had already "chirped" and headed straight for the tank.
There are many such weeds in Highland "No. 3". After suffering such losses several times, German tanks no longer sent tanks to the high ground.
If the German army wanted to seriously attack this "No. 3" Highland, they should use flamethrowers or bombers to drop gasoline to burn these weeds first.
However, the German army obviously did not have so much time, so they could only use infantry to attack forcefully.
The result was that groups of German troops were shot and killed by the Soviet troops without making any progress on the charge. After all, the Soviet troops occupied a condescending position, and they were also airborne troops. They were used as infantry in the Battle of Stalingrad and fought several tough battles.
of airborne troops.
The most intense fighting was in the village of Butul.
The German army came to reinforce the village of Butul with an armored regiment.
The reason why there is only one armored regiment is because the Southern Jiangsu Front, in fact the main force is the 51st Group Army, has launched a full-scale attack on the German defense line. In this case, the German army has no more troops to reinforce Butul Village.
But in fact, more importantly, they thought that one armored regiment was enough. After all, they estimated that when the armored regiment arrived at Butur Village, the Soviet airborne troops were still "wandering" in the wild... No one would think that the Soviet army could
Capture the village of Butul in a short period of time.
If this is the case, then it would certainly be more than enough for a German armored regiment to mop up the lightly equipped Soviet paratroopers and consolidate the defense of Butul village.
However, when the 85th Armored Regiment arrived at the village of Butur, they were surprised to find that the Soviet army not only captured the village but even had time to build defenses.
"What's going on?" Lieutenant Colonel Flory, who commanded the armored regiment, couldn't help but ask.
It’s not surprising that Lieutenant Colonel Flory didn’t know that Butul village had been captured, because Butul village had just been captured less than twenty minutes ago, and the German command was not even sure whether Butul village had been captured. They only knew
The village of Butur was bombarded by a large number of rockets and contact was lost.
When Lieutenant Colonel Flory contacted the headquarters, the headquarters was still asking: "Really? Are you sure the Soviet army has set up a defense?"
"Yes!"
"Then, they have already occupied Butur Village!" the headquarters ordered: "Launch an attack immediately. They have just occupied the village and are not ready yet!"
"Yes!" Lieutenant Colonel Flory replied, and then immediately ordered over the intercom: "Advance, attack!"
The Soviet army was indeed unprepared.
Under normal circumstances, the Soviet army could not withstand the attack of an armored regiment.
The problem is that this is not an ordinary situation. The Soviet army dragged out 88MM anti-aircraft guns from the German warehouse... These anti-aircraft guns are a sharp weapon against tanks. Within a range of one kilometer, there is almost no need to consider the thickness of the tank armor. As long as it hits, there will be no luck.
reason.
This gave the Soviet army the ability to strike targets from long range.
In other words, the Soviet army's anti-tank capability, which originally had only one level, that is, the rocket launcher at a distance of 50 meters, became two levels.
With such an additional level of anti-tank capability, it was completely different. The German tanks drove far away, and were continuously destroyed by 88-guns on the way. When they rushed closer, they were greeted by rocket launchers, and soon a large number of tank wreckage was left helpless.
Back off.
By the time Lieutenant Colonel Flory realized that he should contact the Air Force to cooperate with him and advance steadily, the Soviet army had already established a firm foothold.
Everything is developing in a direction beneficial to the Soviet army.
But at this time, the correspondent reported to Veniamenko: "The enemy on the 'No. 3' Highland seems to have given up the attack!"
"Give up the attack?" Veniamenko couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He didn't understand what it meant.
After a pause, Veniamenko asked: "Is the enemy preparing for the next round of attack?"
"No!" the correspondent replied: "Major Slava thinks they are retreating because they gave up the positions they had captured!"
This makes no sense at all, because "No. 3" Highland guards the road that the Don River Army must pass through. (To be continued)
