German fighter planes fly overhead from time to time, and they all run out of fuel or ammunition before returning. In most cases, they will turn a blind eye to these low-value Soviet targets. After all, there are too many Soviet targets. Now it is not that there is no chance to bomb them, but that they cannot be bombed at all.
Let go of the telescope and fly farther and farther into the sky. The German fighter plane left its pie mouth. Ryan jumped from the tiger tank turret and looked at it by the turret. Alice was wiping the heading machine gun.
I have to say that The Story Of Diu Sim, who has been a soldier for three years, looked at Alice’s charming ass wrapped in army pants. Ryan made great efforts to move his eyes. He put his inner bag in his mouth and then screwed the lid of the kettle and drank a mouthful of cold water to calm himself down.
A German scout riding a motorcycle with an iron plate on his chest stopped by Rennes, a tiger tank, to pay a tribute to Rennes. "Sir! The nearby Soviet troops are retreating in the direction of Kiev, and my scouts and I have not found enemy tanks. "
Ryan nodded and then politely hit the compartment behind the tank turret and took out a box of cans and threw them to the scout with a dusty face on the tank. He thanked him for his information. "Thank you! Thank you very much. "
This is how we get along in the army. Send something to these scouts from time to time, and they will work harder when investigating. Sometimes a few minutes’ warning and information can avoid some fatal mistakes, make fewer mistakes or try not to make mistakes. This is the secret of battlefield life.
The vast Ukrainian plain stretched the German troops. The 52 heavy tank destroyer battalion of Rennes has been torn apart. The battalion headquarters and the 2 nd company are 3 kilometers away, and the 3 rd company is about 5 kilometers away from its own flank. Now the 1 ST company of Rennes has been divided into three units and abandoned everywhere.
It’s quite close to Kiev Road. No.114 tank was left behind due to mechanical failure due to oil blockage. Hurry and get to this village. No.111 tank was ordered to stay and cover the left-behind No.114 garage. Commander Ryan has three tanks in his hand to fight.
Of course, along with them, there are grenadiers from the 1st regiment, 1st battalion and 2nd company of the 3rd Armored Division of SS. These soldiers are in charge of investigation and cover workers. It is because of these hard-working grenadiers that Ryan dares to kill the village where they are now.
An hour ago, the Soviet troops left behind by them were found near the village of grenadiers, so Marcus 112 volunteered to take the No.115 tank to cover four infantry to intercept them-they did it five times all the way, and each time they got unexpected results.
The grenadiers captured one less Soviet army along the way, almost double their number, and about two soldiers escorted these prisoners back to the regimental headquarters behind them. The grenadiers were not even satisfied now, with about 100 soldiers.
There are about four German infantrymen left near Soren, except even mortars and messy communications. None of the non-combatants can fight, and this unit also rests on the outer wall of the village building, sleeping soundly because of fatigue.
They were so tired that they didn’t have a good rest for four days in a row. These German soldiers put on raincoats and all kinds of warm equipment, and then they just lay there and snored one after another.
Bruce and Andre sleep, too. They are very tired. Although they don’t walk on their feet, they really should have a rest these days. Because the two of them, Tanqueray, snored like thunder, which made Alice put up with the noise. I’m also embarrassed to come out to wipe the machine gun when sleeping in the car. It must be more desperate than the engine. Just a few stingy men snored, right?
The more advanced weapons are, the more high-quality soldiers are needed to maintain them, so that advanced weapons and equipment can be brought into play in the battle. Don’t underestimate every military technological revolution, and every such development marks a steady high quality of the grassroots units of the army.
If there is a rifle, soldiers need to disassemble and clean it frequently and then maintain the oil, but what if it is a motorcycle? That requires soldiers to inflate this motorcycle tire, add lubricating oil and even repair some simple mechanical failures themselves.
Don’t Bruce is responsible for loading shells for Andre. He is also a repairman who can lift the engine compartment of the tank, clean the oil circuit and filter screen. He is responsible for maintaining and repairing some minor problems of the tank, including replacing worn tracks and load-bearing wheels for the tank.
Of course, Bowman is not only a driver, but also needs to repair and maintain the tank engine. He is so familiar with the Tiger tank engine that he can tell what is wrong with it by its vibration and noise when it rotates.
And Ryan … Well, he’s the only conductor in charge of killing people. Now he’s eating to replenish his strength, so he came to the front of the village. He told Andre to warn himself to shake the tank and sleep for two hours.
I simply took out a new map of the nearby area and carefully confirmed the surrounding environment. The local Ukrainians were very welcome to the arrival of the German army because of their aversion to Soviet oppression. For example, Rennes’ hand made this map a modification and refinement of the map of the local Ukrainian German army nearby.
Because it’s too vast here, although the German army has been carefully planned and prepared, it still knows the tactical level map of the Soviet Union’s territory. With the opportunity to help the Soviet Union build a railway, the German army has mapped some tactical level maps of important areas along the Soviet railway, but some of his drawings in remote areas are suspected of being inadequate.
However, with the help of local people, the map of Rennes is marked with a lot of information, such as the approximate location of some trees and hills and the direction and distance of nearby villages. These local information is much more accurate than road signs, and I have to regret that the infrastructure of the Soviet Union is worse than that of European countries by more than a little.
Some map-marked secondary roads are actually a potholed dirt road. If we follow the original map, German tanks and trucks are estimated to be still crowded in the border areas of eastern Poland and Ukraine, and some voluntary German guides and local people’s guidance can be regarded as barely completing the seemingly simple March.
The current location of Rennes troops is about 4 kilometers to the south, which is a small town. This town spans a river about 1 meter wide, which is a famous place nearby. Soviet troops should be heading for the town. If there is no accident, occupying it will almost open the main road to Kiev
The vast plain is an excellent fighting environment for armored forces. Ryan is sure that the plain area will kill and stop him. The Soviet troops are quite close to the town. He needs to confirm whether the company commander of the grenadier who followed him is sure to take a strategic position with dozens of soldiers.
"Think about what?" Alice wiped the machine gun, oiled some parts of the machine gun, found a water source nearby, washed her hands, and asked Ryan with a smile while shaking her hands.
"Nothing," Ryan replied, carefully putting the map into his map bag and pointing to the smoking place in the distance. "We may go there a little later and estimate that there will be a fierce battle."
Alice nodded and then woke up. "Earlier, the battalion said that the ammunition supply would be delayed, so we have to save some ammunition now … It’s a good thing that the machine guns are still two rounds short of the normal quantity."
There is no shortage of machine guns. When leaving the camp a few days ago, Ryan took an extra round of ammunition by familiarizing himself with the master of the logistics department. Their machine guns and ammunition were very abundant, but they were not so lucky in terms of shells. After all, Tanqueray could not cram dozens of shells into Amdo.
It happened that Lu had two encounters with Soviet tanks, and Rennes tanks fired almost twenty shots. As a result, Rennes Tanqueray now has five artillery shells, and the number of grenades and armor-piercing projectiles is even smaller.
"It is estimated that it will be evening when the battalion supplies are delivered." Ryan said with a sigh that he knows how chaotic the supplies near the battlefield are. In most cases, it is up to the company commanders themselves. The more modern the war, the larger the scale of this supply.
"The Soviet Union is really big. I didn’t know it was so big until I saw it with my own eyes." Alice sighed by the tank while talking. She also stretched out her arms as if she wanted to embrace the whole world. "If Poland, we would have reached Warsaw now, but we are still far from Moscow."
"Gollum" Ryan swallowed a mouthful of saliva and moved his eyes to the distance-it’s really big …
Chapter 513 512 Forward
"We must seize the most favorable position before the Soviet generals gather up these defeated troops." guderian stared at the map in front of him and said to the staff, "Here and here, which army is it? Can we continue to attack?"
Huge map The Germans renamed all the towns after post-sorting and induction, which also facilitated the confidentiality of the line communication of grass-roots units, and the town that was noted by Rennes is also being noted by guderian at this moment. The code name of this town is y17.
Usually, he wouldn’t ask, but now his troops are too scattered, and many first-line troops really don’t have offensive forces. Most assaults occur at the battalion level or company level, which is simply a legal imagination for a regiment.
It is necessary to ensure that these troops have the ability to protect themselves before ordering them to attack, right? Isn’t it a joke to attack casually in case there is a company there?
"It is reported that there is a special unit composed of 52 heavy tank destroyer battalion, a tank company and a grenadier barracks." A staff officer pointed to the map and replied to guderian, "But it seems unlikely that they will deploy troops to attack in areas several kilometers long."
"SS 3 rd Division?" Guderian nodded and then continued to look at the map. The town in his eyes was really attractive. If the Germans could control it, all the wars would be easier.
He turned around and walked to the headquarters desk, grabbed the telephone, and then said, "Please connect me with the 1st Armored Army Department. It’s guderian for me … Is it difficult to deploy an army to capture the town code y17 for me?"
If the secretary asks you what difficulties you have, this time is by no means to let you cry about your various difficulties, but to let you say that there is no difficult answer with tears. The 1st Panzer Corps is an old army in guderian, and it is naturally impossible for your old army commander to capture y17 town, which was immediately agreed.
It’s as simple as that. The 1st Armored Army has become a mess. The positions of various troops are being repeatedly confirmed. The counterattacks of the Soviet Red Army in some areas are also summarized and processed. Of course, there are supplies, support, contact, the list of dead soldiers and the final statistics.
It is obviously safe to hand over the problem of taking a small town to a division to deal with, so the military directly called the headquarters of the 3 rd SS armored division
A general who can’t fight well, Frick, commander of the 3 rd armored division of SS, is famous for his logistics in the 1 ST armored corps. He is famous for his advantages, and he has several talents. His troops have the highest replenishment completion rate in almost the whole G regiment.
He ate the best food and ammunition in the army, even more tents than other troops-of course, the third armored division of the SS was almost one of the best troops in the G regiment, and a large number of trump cards such as Rennes Marcus were born
This army has captured various towns. When Frick received a command from the commander to capture y17 town, he did not hesitate to agree to the commander’s request and then made a guarantee to the commander. "Don’t worry, general, I guarantee that it will be occupied by the 3rd armored division. No problem!"
He didn’t know what this attack order meant to the whole 3rd armored division until he hung up the phone and looked at the map position of his army again. He looked at his staff in distress and hope that this young major who had just been transferred could become a little boy in a second.
"Send some troops to reinforce." It took the young staff officer a long time to suppress such a sentence. If he had the courage, he would have gone to the Fuehrer’s mansion to volunteer, okay? Didn’t master Augustus later become the second person in Germany?
Frickner sighed. If he had extra troops, would he have to ask the war staff? Directly support the front-line troops to fight in the past. Such a way is stupid. Don’t mention a general. "There are almost no active support troops now."
"Give a message to the head of the 3rd regiment and let him find a way." The staff thought for a moment and finally came up with a feasible way. After all, attacking the town is not a field war, so the 1st and 2nd panzer regiments will not deploy their troops, so there will be only 3 panzer grenadiers left. Who are they looking for?
Frick nodded and picked up the message. He had to get through to the third regiment. "Is it difficult to get y17 town?"
"Teachers are you kidding? Attack in this situation? It’s not that I’m pessimistic about teachers … The Soviet Red Army didn’t fight back. Once they fought back, our defense line would collapse. "Everyone in the division is a first-line combat force, so there is no need to play bureaucratic tricks. Of course, people have any difficulties." Let me transfer troops! "
"Don’t draw out? One company will do! " Frick is crazy. How many kilometers has his division been winding back and forth? Ten thousand soldiers can’t even draw one.
"…" There was a silence for a while, and the head of the team finally said, "I can try but I should not be satisfied."
"Not satisfied! Just have combat power! " Frick nodded quickly. He was afraid that he would hesitate a little. At present, the dissatisfied staff didn’t even have it.
Let it be known that the 3 rd battalion commander called the 1 ST battalion commander to explain the support war to him. The poor battalion commander sadly found the 3 rd company commander and asked him to take his hand to find the German front task force. The company commander collected all the ammunition and took his 73 hands.
Therefore, the highest decision of the General Command of the G Regiment Army to capture the y17 town was pushed all the way, and was handed over to a small company commander for execution after passing through the commander, commander and battalion commander. This story tells everyone that even if you are a head office boss to execute your decision-maker, it is estimated that even a team leader is not too superstitious about your own orders.
At this time, Ryan is discussing the plan of attacking y17 town with the company commander who is responsible for covering himself. They don’t know that the level has reached the attack order, so it can be seen that the grassroots German commanders have a strong grasp and experience of the battlefield situation.
Many times, the Germans often spontaneously organize local tactics without waiting for high-level battle orders, which on the other hand reduces the German reaction time and greatly reduces the casualties of the troops.
"Not counting the captive soldiers, I can at most deploy six people to support your attack. To be honest, the number of our troops is seriously insufficient." The company commander looked at Ryan’s hand map and frowned and said, "We can organize fire support from outside, but if the Soviets deploy troops to fight house by house, we will be driven out of town."
Ryan nodded, and things were similar to his imagination. "We attacked the Soviets, and if they had completed the defensive deployment before deploying large-scale troops in the town, we would immediately retreat."
Soon as the afternoon sun tilted, Marcus tanks 112 and 115 rushed back to the battlefield, followed by these two tanks and five dusty German soldiers. After entering the village, these soldiers teamed up to cook, showing that they were exhausted after a battle.
Marcus is very much in favor of the idea of attacking y17 town. He is a typical militant and belongs to the kind of character who is afraid of things. The commander of No.115 tank also agrees with Ryan’s idea. After all, Ryan impressed him with the God of War all the way.
In a short time, the Germans came to reinforce them, and the infantry arrived here. The attack order was really recognized. Ryan and two company commanders confirmed the tactics and decided to take a night raid to make a sneak attack.
"I still didn’t expect that since we were ordered to attack, why did seven soldiers send reinforcements?" Ryan is obviously very dissatisfied with the decision-making. It’s one thing for him to take the initiative to attack, but it’s another thing to be ordered to attack-since you let us attack, at least give us troops, right? And seven people were sent? Enough for what?
