The Rise of the Empire

Chapter 1071: Counter Attack Three

Chapter 1071

"God, I feel that we are facing at least one armored battalion." A Russian soldier said, looking at the occasionally blurred figure in the smoke in the distance.

"No, it's not right, maybe it's an armored division! You know, it's a large establishment that the Bavarians have on the Western Front. God, they actually mobilized an armored division to deal with us?" An officer who seemed to have some status was a little shivering. Looked at the distant opponent and said. The vibration from time to time on the ground made some Russians timid before fighting.

However, most of the people were still fulfilling their responsibilities faithfully. They pushed a 3-inch rapid-fire gun into the hastily dug out gun nests, while some infantrymen tied their hand grenades into bundles so that they could fight at the last minute. A handful! The machine gunners silently erected the machine gun, and then the deputy shooter took out the long leather chains from the ammunition box and attached them to the machine gun. After everything was done, the Russian soldiers waited for the arrival of the enemy with their unique composure or numbness.

"Get ready! This time, what we are facing is only some fish belly, we should be preparing for the future war!" Major General Eric, who served as the commander-in-chief of this offensive, said the soldiers under his relaxed opponent.

Strategy and tactics are constantly evolving. Stopping means going backwards. You see, the Russians have developed a rapid force system suitable for Tsarist Russia. Naturally, Bavaria can’t always hold artillery and tanks. The infantry kept up with the train of thought. In order to complete the encirclement and annihilation of the 7-figure Russian army in the Polish pocket in the near future, the prince has specially set up a brand new battle group this time. This battle group is larger than the regiment and smaller than the division in terms of numbers. . Undertake the requirement to defeat a Russian division in a field battle and continue to advance for 4 days at a speed of more than 50 kilometers per day!

But in order to achieve this task, the prince has laid his blood! Needless to say, an armored battalion responsible for the frontal attack is of course needless to say, not to mention a 105MM self-propelled artillery company and a 120MM self-propelled mortar company responsible for suppression, these are standard equipment. The motorized infantry originally used to accompany the armored force assault has been replaced by the armored grenadier. As for the difference? The former rides on a truck, while the latter rides on a reinforced half-track conveyor vehicle with a certain degree of defense.

The brand new half-track tank made in Bavaria has finally arrived. The site used by this type of infantry fighting vehicle is actually a 5-ton half-track personnel transport vehicle. The only difference is that a rotatable machine gun turret or turret is added to the front of this tank, and it can defend against machine gun armor-piercing shells at a certain angle on the front and side.

Because of the difference in weapons, this half-track infantry fighting vehicle is divided into two types: Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 is equipped with a 2-pound rapid-fire gun. Because the weight of the gun and the ammunition take up a lot of space, this This tank cannot carry additional infantry, while the Weasel 2 infantry fighting vehicle with a 12.7MM machine gun can carry 8 infantry, and it also has shooting holes for infantry to shoot outside.

The prince finally agreed to mass-produce this half-track armored vehicle's fundamental original intention not as an infantry fighting vehicle, but to make up for the lack of armored vehicles. After all, the Weasel 1 has nothing to do with infantry fighting vehicles. Just because the number of tanks is not enough, and the stability and speed are lower, so get some cheap substitutes. As for the Weasel 2? That was a product made by the way. If it were not for the "Kruger's Circus" on the Eastern Front, which performed very well in the battle against the Japanese, the prince would not approve the production of the Weasel 2 tank.

Then, when the Eric battle group launched an attack, the Russians were suddenly dumbfounded, because they found that they were facing too many armored targets, and the armored units with more than 3 digits that appeared on the opposite side had to rely on no more. Six companies of 3-inch guns attacked, and such battles were destined to be massacres from the beginning!

"When the German offensive formation unfolded, my mind was blank at the time, watching the tanks rushing out of the smoke, watching the attacking front line of more than 2 kilometers and hundreds of painted irons. When the armored vehicles of the Cross made a bang, I knew that we were defeated. They formed a moving steel great wall, which was directly crushed by unmatched force. If we say that Bavaria had more armored forces before To act as an armored spearhead and pierce your defense line, then this time, they are a huge steam hammer, directly smashing the rebels!" A Russian officer described his situation after the war.

Forty-five cricket-type tanks and Hu Feng-type assault guns formed a mixed armored battalion arranged into three huge V-shaped assault phalanxes, and the Weasel 1 and 2 tanks of the two battalions were in the two armored units. Expanded sideways, there are more of them, and the weapons they carry are also not to be underestimated. Hundreds of artillery, machine guns, and large-caliber machine guns were aimed at the Russian army in the distance. When the two sides approached a distance of about 1,000 meters, the entire attack front line was like a volcanic eruption, and the metal formed by the shells shot by the artillery. The storm rushed to the opponent like a tide!

When the Russian rapid-fire gun fired a shell~lightnovelpub.net~, it rained back and immediately flooded the exposed gun positions. A two-pound shell drew a dangerous arc in the air for a moment. After that, an artillery and the adjacent artillery group were wiped off the ground, leaving only a huge crater and debris scattered around to tell people that there was once an artillery here.

The Russian machine gunners could not even find a suitable target in the face of pushing like a steel wall. At first, they frantically lit up a strip of bullets. The rain of bullets like migratory locusts did not work against steel. , With the clinking sound of collision, a bullet was bounced off the heavy steel plate. After a series of sparks, only a few pits were left!

"This is a scene I have never seen before. When the Germans launched an offensive, we couldn't even see a person! The eyes were full of various tanks and armored vehicles. The gray-black paint, muzzle and machine gun jumped when firing. The orange flames and the grayish-yellow dust raised when the chariot advances obscured our vision. We realized that we were using flesh and blood to block the advancement of steel! The opponent can crash us just by relying on firepower!" The lines of the memoirs of the Russian machine gunners are full of despair and fear!
