Humans in World War II: Army Defeated by Beacon Fire

Chapter 58 Battle of Kursk ([-])

Under the micro-control of Mustache, the troops began to attack,

After breaking through two lines of defense, they failed in the third line of defense.

Mustache angrily threw down his pencil in front of the map and cursed.

It’s true that the ignorant are fearless. They don’t understand the real situation on the front line and they do all kinds of tricks here.

The Soviet army suffered a defeat in the early stages of the battle, and now the German army also suffered a defeat. The two sides entered a state similar to that at the beginning.

The fighting lasted four days, with neither side continuing to fight.

Another week passed, and the biggest threat to the Soviet army was the threat of the nine J9 Dragon jet fighters.

The Soviet army formed several groups to try to capture the J1 jet fighter.

However, as long as there are too many fighters on the opposite side, they will turn around and kick the accelerator so that they can't even see the side.

When you turn around and run back, maybe it comes out again to attack.

Not only could they not be caught, but several fighter jets were also caught in it.

This makes Soviet pilots change their colors when talking about the J1 Dragon Jet Fighter.

At the same time, the current J1 Dragon fighter jets are divided into three groups, fighting together with the German Air Force.

Under such circumstances, the German Air Force swept all the way.

Originally, the aircraft was not inferior to the opponent, but after being disrupted by the J1 Dragon Jet Fighter, the opponent's formation was immediately pursued.

If anyone is bitten, call for help directly.

As a new era J1 Dragon jet fighter with a smooth aerodynamic layout, a reversal, a falling leaf, and a cobra action directly caused the opponent to be dumbfounded.

Under such a grouping, the Soviet aircraft were weakened day by day.

Without jet fighters to restrain the opponent, there would be no room for survival.

Whenever any airport is discovered, J1 Nilong jet fighters will attack.

The anti-aircraft guns were just like decorations in front of it. How could manual anti-aircraft firepower catch flying objects above Mach 1?

Two 100-kilogram aerial bombs were dropped, and the airport was basically paralyzed.

That was the power of a 100-kilogram aerial bomb explosion, which would shatter the glass of all fighter planes.

Those who get too close will be blown up directly, and a series of explosions may sometimes destroy the entire airport.

As a result, the Soviet army's voyage became at least [-] kilometers before they could reach the front line.

Because the field airport on the front line has been almost completely bombed.

The Soviet army also continuously destroyed German airports.

But the J1 Nilong jet fighter has a hidden runway.

The worst case scenario is flying directly to an airport [-] kilometers away.

For the J1 Nilong jet fighter, it can reach 200 kilometers in just 8 minutes.

Fill it with oil and it will cut you.

Therefore, the successive defeats of the Air Force made it difficult for the Army to launch an offensive.

First of all, artillery is vulnerable to attack once it fires.

Moreover, the J1 Nilong jet fighter is extremely fast, and it only takes about 10 minutes to complete one lap back and forth on the battle line.

But it’s too late to hide the artillery position for 10 minutes, because you don’t know when it will fly over your head.

Whenever you see a greeting that is either an 88mm rocket launcher or a 100kg aerial bomb.

These are fatal threats to artillery positions.

Therefore, the army is now launching a full-scale attack on the German army and will really be unable to take action for a while.

Unless the mustache is allowed to micro-manage again, the Soviet army can take another advantage.

The two sides were stuck in a confrontation in the Kursk area, and no one took the lead in launching an attack.

The Air Force is engaged in confrontation and firefights every day.

The J1 Ni Long jet fighter has also begun to experience more problems after undergoing various high-intensity flights.

There are only five aircraft on combat readiness every day.

The rest are in need of maintenance one after another. These are maintenance personnel sent from Nilong Air Force Base.

With five J1 Dragon fighter jets, fewer and fewer people participated in the battle.

This also relieved a lot of pressure on the Soviet Air Force.

The two sides remained in a stalemate for half a month without any movement.

Subsequently, several local conflicts broke out but did not lead to a major war.

The Soviet Union is developing jet fighters.

The test aircraft has already flown into the sky. It is indeed much faster than propeller aircraft, but this speed is only more than 800 kilometers per hour. Compared with the J1200 Dragon Jet Fighter, which has a cruising speed of more than 1 kilometers, it is far behind. Far.

But this is much better than not having that.

The Soviet army was busy tinkering with jet fighters, while Edward was testing his E59 main battle tank.

After the new E59 main battle tank is produced, it is covered with additional armor, all of which are pressure-type explosive blocks.

After testing, it can barely block the damage of a cannonball, although it is not as powerful as the additional armor of later generations.

But if you can give the tank an extra life, it is simply invincible.

A circle of additional armor is laid diagonally on the round pot lid.

The moment the shell hits, it will directly detonate the explosives on the additional armor.

A 75mm armor-piercing bullet can reduce the power by half.

It would be impossible to penetrate the 65 mm thick round turret.

Although the thickness of the turret is only 65 mm, from its perspective, it is almost comparable to 90 mm armor defense.

75毫米L48倍径穿甲弹能够500米内穿透100+毫米左右的装甲，如果削弱一半那就只能击穿50+毫米装甲。对E59主战坦克没有任何击穿的可能。

On the other hand, the 59mm L88 gun equipped with the E56 main battle tank can penetrate all current tank armor.

Even moving a KV-2 out can no longer stop its edge.

The weight is 28 tons, and the additional armor is almost 30 tons.

采用的是最新款V8柴油机外加涡轮增加器能够提供680匹马力，能够让E59越野的情况下跑出时速40公里的速度，若是在平路上能够跑出时速58公里的速度。

Its speed can overwhelm light tanks, its firepower can overwhelm heavy tanks, and its defense exceeds that of medium tanks and is comparable to heavy tanks.

The combination of speed, firepower and protection can be called a main battle tank.

There are two vehicle-mounted machine guns, and there is also an anti-aircraft machine gun on the top.

This kind of firepower can be used to advance, attack, retreat or defend.

It is also equipped with a night vision mode, which allows you to navigate the battlefield at night.

Although only three E59 main battle tanks have come out, what Edward needs now is actual combat testing.

So three E59 main battle tanks came from railway transportation towards Kursk.

Edward also visited the front line in person, and the personnel he brought were all special forces, with two teams of 48 people.

There are also three soldiers in the car group, and it is basically impossible to deal with Edward at the moment.

These 48 special forces are all top-notch, and there are two helicopters following them all the time, so they can escape from here at any time.

Mustache is not stupid enough to dismantle his own support, at least Edward is still affiliated with Germany.

If he had not been killed and gone to the Allied side, Mustache would have been very clear about Germany's losses.

Therefore, Edward would not be touched casually until the Soviet Union and Allied forces were subdued.

The train arrived at the train station near Kursk and started to get off.

Three E59 main battle tanks started.

Heading towards their destination, Edward set off in a car.

Three E59 main battle tanks escorted the convoy and set off for Pidru Village.

Prepare to attack the Soviet positions at night.

When three tanks came from the rear, the German troops were watching all the way.

If it weren't for the German flags hanging on them, they would have opened fire.

After three E59 main battle tanks entered Pidru Village, the soldiers gathered around to watch.

"Boss, you are here!"

Howard shouted with joy on his face.

Except for a few brothers who followed Edward back from Stalingrad, they could shout like this.

Everyone else has to call him General, which is the relationship between closeness and distance.

"Well! How are you doing lately?"

Edward asked with a smile.

"Not bad. The Soviet army has not launched any attacks so far. As long as the head of state does not command, our defense line is very stable."

Now even officers at all levels know that as long as the head of state does not dictate, everything will be stable.

Unless the number of tanks outnumbers the opponent's, it will be difficult to resume the actual blitzkrieg.

Nowadays, the number of tanks cannot match that of the Soviet army. At the same time, the Soviet army's tanks are getting stronger, and they are not easy to deal with.

Although there are Tiger tanks and Ferdinand tank destroyers, if they advance rashly.

Being destroyed by Soviet anti-tank guns was a heavy loss.

"Let's try the strength of the Soviet army tonight!"

Edward smiled and pointed at the three E59 main battle tanks and said.

"I'm afraid three tanks are not enough, right?"

Howard asked worriedly.

"Isn't it enough? I think it's okay. Let's attack at night and give it a try."

Edward continued with a smile.

"At night? How can you hit the target with a blind light?"

Howard asked with some confusion.

"The new tanks are already equipped with night vision devices, which can clearly see the situation outside at night."

Edward said with a proud smile of leading technology on his face.

"I see, then we can launch a serious sneak attack tonight."

Howard immediately prepared his troops to follow him for a sneak attack at night.

"it is good!"

Edward nodded and agreed to Howard's request.

After nightfall, the roar of tanks sounded. In order to cover up the sound of tanks, the heavy fire company directly approached the Soviet position and carried out indiscriminate shelling.

This made the generals and marshals of the major army groups look confused. What was going on?
Boom boom boom!Boom boom boom!
In an instant, 24 120mm mortars were fired, and six 6mm infantry guns were also firing.

For a moment, the Soviet army thought that the German army was about to launch a full-scale attack.

The German army on the other side didn't understand what was going on. Was it a sneak attack by the Soviet army at night?
But the scouts didn’t send any information!

Three E59 main battle tanks began to move.

boom!
An 88mm high-explosive bomb destroyed a firepower point instantly.

Not only tanks but also large numbers of infantry launched the attack.

This caused the rest of the German troops to be a little confused. Is this going to start a fight?
