Chapter 918

The world is so huge, so huge that some people are in the magnificent hotel to celebrate the successful test flight of the German Third Reich jet fighter, while some people are still holding the bumpy aluminum lunch box to complain about the unsavory degree of mashed potatoes.

Just as the top management of the German air force was cheering for the new secret weapons in their hands, the German armored forces started their first battle with the armored forces of the Soviet Red Army on the Far Eastern front. Near a village that could not be found on a map, dozens of tanks on both sides engaged in a large-scale battle, and then the German armored forces did not win by the huge advantage they had imagined.

"Pay attention to the surrounding security. Just a few hours ago, our four leopard tanks were destroyed by Soviet tanks here. They have at least two Stalin tanks and more than 10 T-34 tanks, which should be the strength of a tank regiment." Raine put down his telescope, and then pressed the mouthpiece to keep his men alert. Their tanks drove in the shape of an arrow in the grass half a man's height. The smell of gunsmoke on the battlefield was very strong. Even far away from the incident, Raine also smelled the bad smell.

An armored company was annihilated at the front line, which is rare in the battle records of the German armored forces. The armored forces of the other side are gradually increasing, and the most popular leopard tank in Germany is becoming more and more easily destroyed. After all, it was only designed nearly ten years ago. It's perfectly normal to have tanks that can destroy it on the battlefield now.

"Captain Ryan! I saw a burning leopard tank! Its ammunition burst, my God... The crew didn't seem to escape in time. " On the far right side of the whole armored company, the commander of tank 114 held up his telescope and reported: "I think the battlefield should be in that position. There is thick smoke. I can't see anything clearly."

"No suspicious target was found. The Soviets did not expect to meet our armored forces here. They were obviously not ready. The battlefield was in chaos, with Soviet infantry corpses everywhere." Marcus' tanks were responsible for guarding the other side of the whole tank company. He did not find that Soviet tanks had set up ambush positions, so he began to report.

"Speed up! Cover the formation! Let's get close to the past, take the high ground, and then examine the whole battlefield. " After observing the surrounding terrain, Ryan gave a loud command: "car 115, we're speeding up to the high ground. Your cover mission is cancelled and you can keep up."

Not far behind the bushes, there was a puff of black smoke. A tiger king tank rushed out of the Bush, and then moved majestically towards Ryan where they were. The first 111 tank was very fast, and soon rushed to the highland of about tens of meters.

"Safe! I could only see a small village, and I didn't find the enemy. I think they retreated after this encounter The commander of tank 111 radioed everyone.

Ryan moved his telescope to the other side. On the battlefield where fierce fighting once broke out, he could see a leopard tank being beaten into a sieve. Further away from the tank, there were at least ten Soviet tanks of all kinds standing in all directions. The Soviets obviously paid a heavy price for these German Leopard tanks.

"Would anyone like to come with me and have a look?" As he carried his assault rifle on his back, Ryan asked the captains of the assembled tanks, "tank 111, stay on the high ground; Tank 112 forms cross fire behind the bulge over there, covering each other. "

Marcus looked at the village in the distance and said, "Ryan, I bet the Soviets won't go too far even if they retreat. We'd better set up a defensive position here and wait for the infantry to catch up."

Another captain also advised: "Captain, to see the battlefield over there is the work of the investigation company. We don't need to study how those leopard tanks were destroyed by the enemy. It's not what we should do

"There's something evil going on here, so I have to know what kind of enemy I'm facing." Ryan patted Marcus on the shoulder with a smile, and then said, "I need to know the size, number and even combat methods of the enemy, so that I can make a reasonable defense plan, right?"

He laughed at himself, then continued: "I know I'm not a qualified company commander, because I always like to do some dangerous things by myself, but after all, I'm the only one here who often does such things, so I'm experienced, isn't it?"

Then he looked at Alice with a worried face and explained, "don't worry. I'm just going to look at the battlefield and guess how the enemy will play. I'm not going to do anything dangerous."

After that, he took the commander of tank 114 who volunteered to sign up. One by one, they cautiously touched the battlefield which was still smoking and burning. There are a lot of tank ruins, and the crackling sound of the fire is a little creepy.

The leopard tanks that had been damaged by the explosion were filled with thick smoke. Some tanks were still burning flames, so people could not easily get close to them. Of course, there are even worse Soviet tanks, such as 20 T-26 small tanks destroyed by the German army. Because these tanks were hit by the main guns of leopard tanks, few of them can find complete ones.

The two men leaned against the body of a T-34 tank whose turret had disappeared. After confirming that there was no one around, they slightly adjusted their posture. They looked at the destroyed leopard tank and saw a lot of Soviet tank debris around“ Very professional to cooperate with the attack... First, the T-26 tank was used to attract the firepower of leopard tanks, and then the high speed was used to break into the two wings, and then the T-34 and Stalin tanks were put in to destroy these less experienced leopard tank groups from the flank. " Ryan looked around with his eyes and got a rough idea of the battle. He pointed to the woods on the edge of the village, and then made a gesture: "the enemy is still in the woods, they are waiting for our attack! If I'm right, they should be eating. No wonder they didn't go on attacking, but retreated into the woods to hide“ My God, it's amazing that you can analyze what they're doing. Can you teach me how you can guess from the traces of this battlefield that they are having dinner? " The commander of tank 114 was frightened by Ryan's detection ability. He stammered and whispered“ It's not very difficult. If you dare to look up, you will see several Soviet sentinels squatting on the edge of the bush with lunch boxes to eat. " Ryan is about to be elated by his subordinates. When they are on the tank, they are all powerful soldiers. Leaving the tank is like changing a person and becoming a complete coward. Along the direction of Ryan's finger, the commander of tank 114 finally summoned up the courage to show half his head and saw several Soviet soldiers chatting over there. He retracted his head and swallowed: "I won't be found, will I? What shall we do now? "“ If you shout a little louder, I don't think we need to go back to the tank and radio for air support Raine put his hand on the commander of tank 114, and then watched each other's movements through the cracks in the wreckage behind him. Then he whispered, "go back, they didn't find us." By the time the two men returned to their starting place, a truck of German grenadiers had arrived on the other side of the highland. They were helping to build a simple tank position, and many people were building a 60 mortar. Ryan found the head of the men, a Grenadier platoon leader. Then he briefly introduced the situation: "the other side has many tanks. I don't know how many, but the report says there are at least two Stalin tanks. I didn't find the remains of Stalin's tanks on the battlefield ahead, so these two tanks should still be there. "“ In the afternoon, we estimate that we will have to withstand their attack, about 20 tanks and at least 100 infantry "When we occupy the high ground, they are bound to move to the left and right, which is their usual method," Ryan said, pointing to the map“ Are you sure? " The platoon leader asked with a frown“ What I'm sure is that they've been so circuitous once and won that battle. " Ryan replied, "if I were the commander of the Soviet Union, there was no need to change the best tactics before I suffered losses, was there?"“ So I should reinforce the fortifications of the two wings and lengthen my defensive positions as far as possible to prevent the other side's encirclement tactics? " The platoon leader obviously believed Ryan's judgment and asked in a very modest tone“ No, I'll direct the tank to launch a counterattack on the left wing and push back the enemy who is circuitous on one side. You just need to pay attention to your right-wing defense and resist the attack of your opponent. " Ryan pointed to the right side not far away and said, "build a defensive position there. When we defeat the opponent's troops on one side, we will come back to help you drive their tanks... Is that ok?" The platoon leader laughed, then took out the map and marked the area he needed to defend with a pencil. He sincerely replied: "my people should be able to hold on for about an hour if..." "you have two tanks to support you, so don't worry about the anti tank problem. I only use three tanks to attack. " Said Ryan preemptively“ My God, you are crazy. " The platoon leader looked at Ryan and said, "if you're not kidding... I promise you that if we only need to deal with infantry, we can stay here until 1940."
