Chapter 1084 Bloody Battle 1
This is definitely not alarmist. Panzer Mike can be regarded as the first-class division-level military supervisor in the German army. His intuition is very sharp. The Russian army on the opposite side is different from the newly replenished and reconstructed legions. They have seen blood. Although their opponents are weaker, they still have combat effectiveness, and those hundreds of artillery are genuine! And there are many artillery pieces that I can find you, but you can't reach me. Although his 10th Rapid Division also has K9 long-range cannons, there are only 6 in one division... It's simply not enough. Therefore, Armored Mike can predict that there will definitely be a bloody storm in the next few days starting tomorrow!
As soon as the sky dawned, the roar of engines resounded through the entire camp. Mike looked at the tanks ready to go at the assembly area and suddenly felt confident. There were 70 tanks and assault guns in a rapid division. Get rid of the improvised armored divisions on the Western Front and the Guards divisions under the Kaiser and the Prince. No one else has such equipment! This is also the reason why he dared to attack the two Russian divisions!
"General, don't worry, this time I guarantee that at least 80% of our tanks can attack and advance 100 kilometers in the next three days!" His favorite general, who has been following his subordinates from the beginning, patted his chest and said .
"Well, very good, I will assign you independent infantry units and logistics units. Your mission is to charge! Attack the Russians in depth with all your strength, and then kill all the artillery and logistics in their rear. I will leave the rest to you. Me! How far you can fight is directly related to our victory or defeat! No more words, let's go quickly, if you move quickly, you can catch up with the Russians to launch an attack while they are having breakfast!" Mike said.
"Oh no, it's a little late." After all, the 10th Rapid Division failed to catch up with the Russians for breakfast. When the Bavarian steel behemoth roared past, the Russians were already on the march, but even so, In the initial confrontation, the marching infantry met the armored troops, and they were crushed as a result. Just like the Mongolian cavalry that once ravaged Europe, the modern descendants of the Teutonic Knights easily smashed Guo Ran's vanguard into pieces!
This is not the first time that the Russians have seen the artillery and tracks of tanks. It stands to reason that the psychological endurance should be stronger, but in this plane where the spirit cannot affect the material, the endurance is stronger and the pressure resistance is stronger, but you Mosin-Nagant rifles cannot be used against tanks and artillery. The leading Russian regiment was easily dispersed, and then the accompanying infantry, supported by artillery, wiped them out in minutes. However, this smooth situation lasted for less than 3 hours. Armored Mike, who rushed 15 kilometers in one breath, encountered a problem!
boom! boom! boom! The loud noise of the rapid-fire cannon's crazy shooting made Armored Mike 2 kilometers away feel a little numb! The feeling of being able to shoot a rapid-fire cannon out of a machine gun is so terrible. When I picked up the telescope, the entire field of view was filled with the flames of the artillery fire. Just 2 kilometers away, more than 40 Russian-made 3-inch artillery were shooting crazily. The barrage formed instantly enveloped the armored troops rushing at the front!
At a distance of 800 meters,
A Wasp assault gun was hit 5 times in 1 minute! It's not that the Russian gunners have high accuracy, but that the Russians have too many artillery! Liu Jie's armor plate could not withstand the repeated impacts of such dense shells. The thick sloped armor cracked in the explosions and impacts. When the seventh shell hit, the back plate that had reached the fatigue strength limit was directly destroyed. Shattered, countless fragments instantly killed the tank crew inside. The Russians used ordinary armor-piercing bullets from rapid-fire cannons to achieve the effect of armor-breaking bullets...
The wasps that are said to be the toughest on land have been beaten into such cowards, let alone crickets and the like! A Cricket tank that finally reached 700 meters had just knocked out a fire point with its 2-pounder gun, and was instantly smashed into pieces by the 3-inch cannon deployed on the flank. After the war, when cleaning the battlefield, I discovered that there were 8 holes in the left side of the tank. There was no ammunition to explode. It was really lucky that the people inside escaped!
"Withdraw immediately! Don't fight to the death!" Mike immediately passed the frontline commander and directly issued the retreat order. You must not be timid at this time, leave quickly, otherwise it will be over! After all, he is an old military man. From the firepower exposed by the opponent, Mike can easily estimate the defensive strength of the position. This is at least the firepower of more than 6 artillery batteries. If you really dare to charge, Mike guarantees that you can charge down, but I am afraid that my master will be seriously injured.
Each tank immediately braked to an emergency stop, and then retreated while releasing smoke bombs. The entire 10th Rapid Division shrank as fast as the attack launched, and sometimes a quick retreat was also a matter of effort. Especially when the going gets tough.
"Change the direction, go around, and keep charging!" After the troops were retracted, before they could even take a bite, they were rushed to the battlefield again by Mike's new order. This is something that most people don't understand. Since there is no way to force a frontal attack, then change the direction. That’s it? The Russians have so many rapid-fire artillery pieces, and they have enough to deploy flanking positions! The Russians are not stupid. They have already learned the German support point theory to a small extent. With a perfect support point, no matter which side you attack from, there is actually not much difference from a frontal attack.
However, Armored Mike's men were naturally not sticks. They understood the boss's order very well, and they went around and continued to charge! Going around is the prerequisite, continuing to rush is the next step... The moment he saw this scene, Mike chose the most correct way!
Did you catch my attack direction? All right! you are vicious! This time I admit defeat! I don't want to fight with you, but now you are hastily accepting the challenge. Your troops have not spread out, and there is no battle line at all. There are only support points but no battle line. I am afraid of you? Go around and keep rushing! Anyway, I am a fast runner. The overall movement speed of the troops is about 5 kilometers an hour! What is the effective range of your rapid-fire cannon? Just go around it!
Defensive warfare cannot rely solely on support points. Once the defense line is gone, support points can only temporarily hold back the opponent and delay the deterioration of the situation. After all, outflanking was used in wars thousands of years ago. The front is just right, why don't you change the place? As a result, the entire 10th Rapid Division quickly turned around and bypassed the carefully prepared defensive positions of the Russians from the north. Then 3 kilometers later, they encountered another Russian artillery unit that was preparing to launch!
