Chapter 1085 Bloody Battle 2
"Holy shit, are the Russians crazy?" When the armored spearhead in front met the Russians again, Armored Mike was really in a mess! In a daze, he had the feeling of fighting on the Western Front. He could not forget that his troops were almost surrounded by a sea of French rapid-fire artillery. After breaking through a line of defense, he could not walk a few steps before encountering a new line of defense... . The major general and his troops are fighting almost all the time! In the collisions again and again, his troops suffered little losses until they were forced to withdraw from the battlefield.
But this time, the major general encountered a better situation, because on the Western Front, the French had a tight defense line and had tank troops to provide mobile defense, while the opponents in front of them did not form a defense line. More importantly, the Russians did not have mobile anti-armor. strength! This is like a heavy infantry formation that can block cavalry, but heavy infantry alone will never be able to match the cavalry in terms of strategic mobility!
So, in front of the astonished Russians, Major General Mike's armored troops were slapped in the face! "Didn't the 7th Regiment in front block the Germans? Isn't there still 5 kilometers to go? How come they made contact so quickly?! The Russian commander of this unit was also instantly confused. All he could do was He immediately ordered his artillerymen to unload the artillery in a hurry, and then did not even bother to expand the formation. A large number of soldiers and horses crowded together to prepare for battle...
However, can such a unit have combat effectiveness? If you are caught off guard, even if you are facing an armored unit, you will still be beaten badly. Various ambushes and encounters in World War 2 have already proven this. What's more, if you are huddled together, the horizontal shooting range is narrow, and you push each other's pockets. A moving rapid-fire artillery unit that cannot be deployed?
The mobile tanks can barely disperse to meet the enemy. How can you let the combat artillery pulled by horses meet the enemy? Therefore, before the armored troops pounced directly on them, the first round of falling 105MM grenades and 120MM heavy mortar shells caused heavy losses to the already chaotic Russian artillery troops!
The dense grenades fell to the ground and blossomed into flowers of death. The scorching flames and flying shrapnel easily harvested the lives of the opponents. The violent shock waves easily swept away the soldiers and horses in pieces, and the frightened ones The horses violently attacked everything around them. Did they trample over the soldiers? They knocked over the artillery that was finally mounted and dispersed the originally chaotic queue even more. In just ten minutes, the Russian army completely collapsed. When the German tank muzzles were less than 600 meters away from them, the Russians chose to surrender!
"Hurry, separate an armored company, and then bring cavalry and bicycle light infantry, plus some supporting artillery, let's pull out the nail in front! If the Russian commander of that unit is a rookie, then they should press Can't stand it any longer?" After easily killing a moving Russian artillery unit and estimating the time, Armored Mike immediately ordered.
So, with a troop drawn out and the captured Russian 3-inch rapid-fire cannon, the major general went back and killed another carbine! At this time, the Russian army, which had just gained some upper hand in the blocking battle, suddenly discovered that the Germans were moving to the rear.
And after cutting off their own reinforcements, they immediately panicked. In a hurry, they decided to change positions and bite the opponent again and again. The gunners struggled to put the 3-inch rapid-fire gun mount on the front car, and then pulled some Restless horses. A large number of people began to get busy. When they drew the artillery, gathered the troops, and adjusted the formation, the German army on the opposite side suddenly killed a carbine! So a replica of the previous battle once again appeared on the battlefield!
This time, in order to ensure the rapidity of the assault, a group of armored vehicles took the lead. Although there was no heavy firepower, the 12.7MM machine gun bullets were still very deadly to the artillery that had no protection and had left the bunker. All the armored vehicles unfolded into a huge arc. Don't go deep, don't be defensive. If you're facing an opponent who's too hasty, just go with A and that's pretty much it.
Mortar shells fell in arcs one after another, and the Russian-made 3-inch rapid-fire guns that had just been captured also came in handy. These guns were pulled to their maximum elevation angle. There were about 12 usable 3-inch rapid-fire guns captured. These guns were raised in elevation and used directly as howitzers. So before the troops from both sides came into contact, with the help of reconnaissance planes, two companies of Russian rapid-fire guns were first directed at His former colleagues fired hundreds of rounds of high-explosive bombs! Without considering the loss of ammunition, the projection capacity of the rapid-fire cannon is still very powerful. A barrage fell in the middle of the gathering Russian troops, and then rolled back and forth like a huge flame roller. Before the armored troops launched their attack, these artillery pieces had already scattered the Russian troops and destroyed them!
(In other words, direct-fire grenades are useless against tanks, and they are not useful against high-speed moving units. But it is a pity that the moving artillery team has no armor defense, and the moving speed is definitely not fast!)
Everything is exactly the same as before. In less than an hour of fighting, five of the seven 3-inch rapid-fire artillery batteries that had been showing off just now were killed, and the remaining two incomplete companies were lucky enough to rely on the terrain to block the attack.
The so-called cutting corners has no good results. The Japanese Army lacks experience and may allow the existence of support points to be ignored. For the German army, the maximum tolerance limit for important support points is to leave it to the troops behind to deal with it. But now, the major general knows that there is no follow-up behind him, so he must seize the opportunity to deal with it himself! At this time, the 10th Rapid Division was like a two-headed dragon. While it continued to develop in depth, the other head turned around and fired a carbine. A two-pronged approach to sweep the Russian front at the same time~~~!
In a morning of fighting, the major general's troops killed an infantry regiment and two artillery batteries, and destroyed or captured more than 10 artillery batteries. It can be said that the record is outstanding, and this is just the beginning for Armored Mike. After a short rest, his troops continued to rush deeper, and this time, he finally ran into trouble! The loss of the avant-garde was not worthless. They bought time for the follow-up troops and allowed the main force of the Russian army to launch an attack front. Although the speed was slower, it was probably impossible for the Germans to use tricks to get around!
