Chapter 1069: Counterattack one

Chapter 1069

When Alekseyev was about to adjust his deployment, when Brusinov was about to pull the Eighth Army out of the quagmire of Lviv, on the flank of the Russian Seventh Army, three Bavarians formed The first wave of soldiers has started, and in the air, there are 3 bomber groups, 2 fighter groups, and 1 reconnaissance group that have vacated nearly 300 aircraft!

However, unlike the past, the Bavarian Army of the three divisions was split into a combat unit with between 1400 and 2000 personnel, and the 75MM rapid-fire gun, 105MM howitzer and 120MM mortar were all decentralized to these. In the reinforced battalion or regiment-level combat unit, the three divisions formed a total of 15 battle groups, while the remaining infantry and heavy weapons were gathered together. When the Russian Seventh Army had time to shrink in the future, the Allied counterattack began!

"This is definitely the weirdest and most interesting battle I have ever participated in." At dawn, Lieutenant Michael and his assault group were heading toward the rising sun. According to the results of yesterday's reconnaissance, they should be at 7 Point, that is, half an hour later, launched an attack on the flanks of a Russian army.

The reinforced company he was carrying did not have a single infantry in the company, but there was no motor vehicle in sight. All 210 people were struggling to glaring at the weight-bearing bicycles, and teams of bicycles stretched into the distance. This is really a bit new for ensigns who are used to using their own legs or riding in a car.

At this time, he in the queue is his rucksack in front of the bicycle. On the rear frame are military maps, water bottles, compasses and other equipment. On the left side of the rear rack are compressed food and first aid kits enough for them to eat for three days, and on the right side are ammunition. Including 80 rounds of pistol bullets and 120 rounds of rifle bullets. There are also several hand grenades and some blasting devices. As for the semi-automatic rifle in his hand, it was fixed to the bracket of the bicycle. By the way, there is also a small toolbox for repairing bicycles, fixed between the beams.

As a strengthening company, the second lieutenant's unit is equipped with 6 to 8 MG light machine guns and 2 60MM mortars, and these things can make their users worry. A machine gun group now consists of 6 to 8 people, one of whom carries the machine gun itself. Another person carries a stand, tool box and other accessories. The remaining 4 to 6 machine gun crew members carry no less than 5,000 rounds. Yes, you read that right, it is 5000 rounds. These bullets are made into detachable 250 rounds of ammunition chains. Each rifleman needs to carry 4 to 5 ammunition boxes in addition to his rifle, linen, food, water and first aid kit.

The mortar squad is probably also assigned to this. Each crew member who is responsible for carrying shells will carry a total of 12 to 15 shells and propellant packs on both sides of their bicycle racks. But even so, these soldiers still said it was easier than they would normally.

Relying on this two-wheeled vehicle, the ensign and his company can guarantee an assault speed of over 10 kilometers per hour. The daily travel speed far exceeds that of infantry. Of course, Lieutenant Michael would definitely not dare to attack a Russian army if he only relied on a unit like himself. As an old fritters, he knew that this seemingly short and slick force was actually not suitable for direct combat.

Bicycle troops are more of a means of investigation and communication. As for the omnipotent force that some people call, relying on a single bicycle unit as the forward or rear guard of the army is really difficult. Because the bicycle unit lacks sufficient logistics and sufficient firepower. When entering the battlefield, it was still just light infantry. Bicycles are only temporarily limited to improve the mobility of the troops and the ability to transport part of the equipment. If a troop relies on bicycles, it is better to fight guerrillas...

In fact, in the Viking assault group where the ensign, as a combat unit capable of making tactical breakthroughs alone, the number and equipment of the entire unit are quite large. There are more than 1,600 people in this commando team. There are a total of 4 infantry companies like ensigns. At the same time, in order to increase the attacking ability, it is also equipped with a truck gun company equipped with 6 75MM rapid-fire guns and a support company with 8 80 to 120 mm mortars, plus an engineer unit and follow-ups. When it comes to the support unit in the formation, the composition of the entire team is basically complete!

Of course, the transportation of these heavy weapons and the supply of ammunition must not rely on bicycles. They are all equipped with special cars or a small number of carriages for transportation. Take the Viking assault group as an example, the entire force is assigned a total of 20 trucks and 10 large vehicles. In this case, it is guaranteed that the troops can advance at least 50 kilometers per day. And this is far beyond the speed of ordinary troops.

In terms of combat effectiveness, the weapons in the hands of these units are absolutely excellent. On average, every infantry unit has a machine gun for every 20 to 25 people. The ratio of semi-automatic rifles, rifles and submachine guns is almost 1:1:1! Even without considering the huge number of machine guns, relying solely on the firepower of the infantry squad can definitely overwhelm the existence of the Russians. Of course, if you want to ask how the actual combat situation is, you have to wait and see the performance of the two sides after half an hour~www .wuxiaspot.com~Ready to fight! Wait until the artillery behind is in place to attack! "After arriving at the assembly position, the company commander was responsible for parking hundreds of bicycles, and then began to remove the weapons and ammunition fixed to the car body. The completed personnel used the last time to rest and eat breakfast, and 15 Minutes later, accompanied by the roar of the engine, several truck guns had come behind him, and then the messenger passed the order that he and the other reinforced company would attack from both wings, and the artillery unit would provide fire support.

This truck cannon, nicknamed Beetle, first put down the station hoe. At the same time, the windshield in front of the vehicle was also pulled down. On the ring-shaped gun mount, the 75MM rapid-fire gun has a better strike range, and the ammunition cart at the rear of the car body is also opened, which is filled with 75MM ammunition. While the Russians were eating breakfast in the distance, the first wave of shells had fallen.

First Lieutenant Michael walked forward with his brothers, and then noticed that the opponent did not resist the firepower, and then began to straighten up slowly. Finally, when he rushed to 300 meters, he had not seen the noteworthy firepower point, and then Lieutenant Michael pressed Hold your own feelings and don't let the troops directly go up.
