Chapter 725: Outpost One
"The 4th Assault Division will quickly follow up, and the three bomber squadrons and two fighter squadrons will cooperate with you in combat. You can consider going south to kill your current troops behind enemy lines and cooperate with other troops to encircle the Fifth Army!" Soon Lu Precht’s telegram was sent back. By this time, it was already ten o’clock in the morning. If Armored Mike could be faster, he could catch up with the Russians for lunch, and then Schmidt could catch up with the other party for dinner. ......
The huge first assault army and other attached troops began to launch an attack formation. The long marching array began to spread its powerful wings like a flying eagle, and the eagle's most deadly two-clawed black forest brown bear The battle group has pounced on the Donetsk division!
"Enemy attack! German armored vehicle troops!" The first-level scouts of the Russian division are still very discerning. At least they did not regard the armored units as cavalry. Unfortunately, they still did not have enough early warning time for the main force. Almost shortly after the cavalry sent the information, Mike's armored troops rushed over like an angry male bear!
"Ready to fight! Command the division’s artillery to deploy quickly!" Under the command of the division commander, Major General Gross, the entire division began to deploy defenses quickly. After all, it is a standard Russian division. After losing an avant-garde regiment, it still has nearly 18,000 people. The four infantry battalions located in the front are closely attached to each other to form a thick defensive position composed of soldiers and infantry firepower.
"Smash them! Motorized infantry is ready to fight." This was the first real battle fought by Lieutenant Colonel Mike. Although he had just crushed an opponent's regiment, he still did not meet with real swords and guns. Will underestimate the Russians known as European road rollers. There are at least 4 battalions on the front, which is about 4000 if you convert the number of adults! The huge number already means that this battle will be more troublesome!
The first independent armored battalion formed two interlocking attack formations, and the motorized infantry at the back also began to follow up, and at a distance of 1200 meters from the opponent, began to put down the first batch of infantry units carrying this mortar. The tactics of the entire Lancer battle group is not a rhythm that ends in a wave of recklessness. The offensive of the Bavarian Rapid Corps gives full play to its firepower and mobility, organically combining armored units, long-range artillery, close support firepower, and infantry units. And this time, they can finally check it out on the battlefield.
The 6 105MM self-propelled howitzers and 4 towed 150MM heavy howitzers in charge of long-range support have begun to tilt towards the front Russian positions, accompanied by a burst of destructive red flames falling from the sky, one by one. The smoke column covered the entire battlefield, and the hastily dug infantry bunkers could not withstand such shelling. Hundreds of Russian soldiers had been killed by flying shrapnel and powerful explosive waves before they even saw their opponents.
Soon, a slightly long ensemble of mortars was added to the dull sound of heavy artillery, and the mortar troops deployed 1200 meters away began to think about the target calibrated ahead and implement key designs. At 800 meters, the second infantry squad carrying this machine gun got off the chariot and moved to both sides to cover the armored grenadiers about to deploy from the side.
500 meters! The second row of tanks stopped and started firing at the exposed machine gun positions of the Russians with 40MM machine guns and 75MM artillery. The scattered machine guns of the Russians were covered by several 2-pound shells as soon as they fired a row of bullets. After the explosion, only the ground meat and parts could be seen scattered on the ground. The first row of tanks continued to press against the Russian positions.
When the distance between the two sides was close to 300 meters, a large number of soldiers got off the trucks and semi-tracks. Thanks to the good fire suppression, the infantry unit did not suffer any loss on the way to get off the truck. The infantry squad was under the command of the squad leader. The attack was launched from the bottom, the semi-automatic rifleman and grenadier were slightly behind, and the two groups with submachine guns in front launched the final assault under the cover of friendly forces!
At this time, the front of the entire assault group was very open. If faced with a solid line of defense, Mike will try to shrink the front of the attack and concentrate his efforts to open a gap. But now, facing the hastily constructed line of defense and Russian troops without anti-armor units, he can safely expand his own. On the front, turn a slender lance into a sharp axe, sweep it across!
However, the intensity of this attack was not bad. Although the armored forces were scattered, the firepower of a large number of mortars and machine guns was fully deployed! Especially after the trench cleaning team with submachine guns entered the combat distance, the firepower of the infantry on both sides was completely one-sided!
Like a blizzard, the 9MM bullets were overwhelming and thinking of the Russian soldiers who charged up. The fire net formed by hundreds of machine guns with deadly flames made the Russian soldiers who had never seen submachine guns completely despaired, and they were lined up in rows. The soldiers were swept down by bullets like wheat. The huge number of advantages at this moment turned into a huge number of casualties, and the Russian infantry formation in the attack was instantly sunk!
Boom! boom! The Russian three-inch rapid-fire guns deployed in the back also began to counterattack~www.wuxiaspot.com~ A round of shells fell sporadically on the Germans’ offensive formation. However, this was of no use and they would soon suffer. To various direct and curved fire attacks.
With a bang, Lieutenant Colonel Mike’s head made a close contact with the armor on the front of the tank. A 3-inch shell accurately hit the inclined armor of Mike’s Hu Feng assault gun. The car body shook. After that, two more shells hit the tank one after another!
"Tell the blue company! I was attacked! Find out that nasty guy!" As a command vehicle, Mike's tank has no artillery. There was only one stick to disguise, and the blue company next to it was its guard unit. The two steel lancers next to it quickly found two 3-inch rapid-fire guns, a series of 2-pound shells and 3 rounds of 75 shells. The artillery position was covered in an instant, and after a loud noise, the two artillery pieces along with the gun group and a machine gun nest next to it were directly sent into the sky.
The precision war machine composed of tanks, infantry, and artillery quickly harvested the life of the opponent. The Russian army of four battalions did not look as strong as expected, and there were not so many. It was clearing away those three-inch rapid-fire guns and large After some of the machine guns, even if the rest were slaughtered, the battle quickly returned to the rhythm of unilateral killings, but fortunately, the Russians had a large division that would not make Mike and others bored.
