Humans in World War II: Army Defeated by Beacon Fire

Chapter 59 Battle of Kursk ([-])

A German infantry division deployed at the forward position next to the village of Pidru saw continuous artillery fire from next door and hit the opposite side directly.

I don't know who screamed, and many people followed and rushed to the opposite position.

The officer was also confused when he saw this, and could only lead the remaining people to hold the soldiers in front.

The officers in the rear thought that there was a fight in the front position, so they not only ordered artillery fire but also ordered an attack.

In the dark night, half of an infantry division was killed, and the division commander was the last to know the situation.

The entire division looked at each other, and no one knew who gave the order.

In this way, all the troops on the entire front were pulled in.

On the afternoon of the next day, the entire front advanced [-] kilometers, penetrated a Soviet defense line, and entered its depth.

As a result, the Soviet troops retreated more than 30 kilometers and redeployed their defense lines.

On an originally uneventful night, two army groups started fighting in confusion.

Afterwards, statistics showed that the German army had taken a considerable advantage, which also made the German army very excited.

After Xiaozi learned about it, he did not pursue who made the move first.

This unexpected style of play really produced quite an effect.

Sometimes things are done inadvertently.

The front line may not need to be fought for a long time, because the Soviet army still needs to strengthen its troops.

After several battles, the two sides did not take advantage, and now they were beaten back by the German army.

Therefore, it will be difficult to engage in large-scale battles for at least half a month.

And Germany's supplies are constantly being transported here from home.

As the anti-Soviet personnel supported by Edward, Rezer Coward and Zelian Cowardsky have formed an army in Kiev.

A team of more than 8 people, each squad has eight Mauser 98K rifles, plus two MP18 or MP28 submachine guns.

One company is equipped with six captured Soviet M1910/30 Maxim heavy machine guns, as well as two Soviet-made 50mm mortars and one German-made 80mm mortar.

The battalion-level unit is equipped with an anti-tank platoon, which has two 75mm anti-tank guns and two 37mm anti-tank platoons.

The regimental size is equipped with a 76mm field artillery battery, plus an anti-tank company.

After all, the Soviet army's torrent of steel was no joke or for show.

Originally an anti-German guerrilla captain who was captured and almost killed, Zelianwowsky now transformed into the head of the Propaganda Department.

Except for the German army, he has the greatest power in Kiev.

Now I have oily hair and a fair face, and there is still a lot of fat on my face.

It seems that the food has been very good recently.

At the same time, he also married Bai Fumei, the daughter of a wealthy businessman.

This little life has taken off.

Now he has become a master of others.

The coward Leizer was different. He led his 7 troops and merged with John, who was supported by Warsaw, to form a total of [-] people and headed for the northern border of Germany.

7 people are just a bunch of mobs. If you want to train to become a strong soldier, you need to train well.

Edward needed to control no less than 15 elite soldiers during the Normandy landings.

As long as the Allied landing is defeated, the next landing battle needs to be slowed down.

At the same time, the pressure on Germany's hinterland will be reduced, and French supplies can be continuously shipped to Germany.

Throughout World War II, France's contribution to Germany was absolutely among the best.

Various supplies were produced in France and shipped to Germany.

Although France did not dispatch many troops, the supplies France dispatched were far better than those of hundreds of thousands of troops.

The whole of Europe needs to be stabilized, so the Allies cannot be allowed to land smoothly.

If the United States loses 50 soldiers at one time, it will be a huge shock to the entire United States, and it may even overthrow the government.

Don't look at the TV series, movies and TV shows where all the soldiers are excited to join the army.

In the eyes of the public, the war in Europe has nothing to do with me.

Why should my child die?
Therefore, to deal with the Allied forces, we need to focus on attacking US military forces.

As long as the US military pays excessive casualties, it will trigger an anti-war situation in the United States.

I guess the United States is willing to fight the little devils.

After all, the Japs attacked the US military's Pearl Harbor, killing 6000 people.

For the US military, retaliation is very reasonable.

But Germany is far from the United States. In fact, ordinary people don't care if someone dominates Europe.

So now Edward needs to prepare in advance.

He wants to keep the Northern Army firmly in his hands.

Not even a moustache has the right to command.

He didn't want to lose all his troops to Mustache's various micro-manipulations.

15 people create an armored group army that can quickly contain the entire landing force.

At the same time, quickly annihilate the American and British airborne troops.

In this way, France will still be used as a factory for blood transfusion, and there will be no need to worry about bombing and air raids in the hinterland every day.

Even with American technology, the first-generation F86 Saber fighter could compete with German jet fighters at most, and the J1 Dragon fighter belonging to the Northern Army was not something the F86 Saber could provoke, not even the F4 Phantom behind it.

Therefore, everything currently arranged by Edward is very likely to save the declining Germany.The most important thing is to win the Normandy landing battle, and at the same time strive to cause considerable damage to the Soviet army this year. In this way, the Eastern Front will be in a stalemate, and the Western Front will only take half a month to end.

After all, if the landing operation does not go smoothly, subsequent troops will not be able to continue landing.

At the same time, the entire institute is beginning to develop attack aircraft.

An attack aircraft that can carry a large number of aerial bombs and can operate at low altitudes and at high speeds.

Edward once again copied the shape of the American A10 Warthog attack aircraft.

It is directly equipped with two high-power engines, which can carry about 2000 kilograms of ammunition. At the same time, the nose is equipped with a 30mm cannon to deal with tank troops.

At the same time, two 30mm cannons are also mounted on the wings as counter-weapons when encountering the air force.

The current research institute is streamlining the turbofan engine and also conducting testing.

These require a lot of time, and not everyone with a V2 engine can arrange them.

So what needs to be studied still needs to be studied carefully.

Otherwise, the foundation of science and technology will be unstable and it will easily collapse if it is piled up too high.

On the front line, Edward refused the invitation of the marshals, who knew whether they would directly detain him.

At this point, Edward didn't dare to bet that the opponent's gun had no bullets.

Edward thought about it, if Mustache died, the entire army would collapse.

At least his SS group was finally in disarray.

And the internal struggle for power has made the front line even more difficult.

Mustache must not die, at least not until Edward develops a nuclear bomb.

As for those people who were closest to succeeding in assassinating Mustache, Edward needed to eliminate them all on the day of the assassination.

Otherwise, two marshals would be involved and would end up committing suicide.

The mustache who has been through the gate of hell will only become more and more crazy.

If this continues, Germany as a whole will only become more and more passive.

……

A prototype was sent to Berlin, Germany.

The E25 tank destroyer is equipped with an 88mm L56 gun.

It was originally intended to carry a 75mm L70 caliber gun.

However, the workmanship of the 75mm 70L cannon is a bit complicated.

You can only choose the most technologically mature 88mm L56 cannon.

It has 80mm sloping armor on the front. This is real 80mm thick armor, not some angled armor that includes slanting.

In fact, the armor thickness has reached about 120 mm.

It is difficult for the 75mm L48 caliber artillery to destroy it, unless it is within 300 meters.

However, its armor tilted at 30 degrees can easily cause ricochet.

The key point is that the engine used is produced by Nilong Base Research Institute.

The 680-horsepower diesel engine takes this 19-ton tank destroyer to a high speed of 68 kilometers per hour.

The powerful power makes it very fast, and it is also equipped with a newly designed gyro control system.

The muzzle can form a stable posture when moving at high speed.

This made Mustache, who continued to use a large number of cheap armored forces, feel something in his heart.

With powerful artillery fire and powerful maneuverability, it can run 400 kilometers in one breath. In addition, an auxiliary fuel tank can be added at the back to provide a maximum range of 560 kilometers.

This makes the shortcomings of German tanks much inferior.

In the later stage, German tanks were all oil-hungry and had too low range.

The E25 tank destroyer in front of us is not only fast, but also has powerful firepower and strong defense.

Guardrails are installed on both sides, and the armor thickness is only 35 centimeters, which is considered quite satisfactory.

But if there is a mesh guardrail, it will be different. Don't underestimate this, the damage to the rocket launcher can be reduced a lot.

The biggest part of the rocket launcher is the shuttle metal jet.

After triggering the metal jet in advance, it will be difficult to penetrate the armor.

With such an excellent E25 tank destroyer, Mustache immediately purchased [-] of them with a wave of his hand.

This is only the first wave of orders, but the price Edward gave this time is not expensive.

Such a comprehensive E25 tank destroyer only costs 15 marks.

The Tiger tank costs 25 marks.

The speed of the E25 tank destroyer is about 1.4 times that of the Tiger, and its firepower is the same.

The frontal defense is not inferior to that of the Tiger tank, which adopts vertical armor.

The E25 uses sloped 80 mm thick armor.

In addition, its low body makes it look like an assassin, and its value is no less than that of the Tiger.

It is a full 10 marks cheaper than the Tiger tank, which is really important to Germany.

In addition, three J1 Nilong jet fighters have also been delivered. I believe that a lot of the E3 tank destroyer that Mustache is interested in can be produced next month.

Once the technology matures, mass production will be possible.

The heavy industry in the north is quite developed. At the same time, Edward's high-paying jobs are based on 24-hour day and night shifts. Compared with the 8-hour work system in other places, the speed will not increase too fast!
