Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2499 The beginning of the decisive battle
Fight, if you can't win, run away, no, even if you retreat tactically, you may not be able to escape. The biggest test that Lal has faced in his military career for so many years has come.After thinking about it for about 5 minutes, he finally made the most sensible choice, ordering all the tanks to move immediately and turn on all the smoke generators at the same time.

In the sky, Jiang Tongmin watched the entire ground first in small patches of fog, and then connected into one piece. He knew that today's performance was over. "The Germans are pretty smart, sorry!" he said to himself, ordering a retreat.Helicopters are not invincible, especially when there are German fighters not far away.Facing fighter planes, helicopters are the sparrows in the eyes of goshawks, and they have no resistance at all.Zhang Zizhong didn't expect much from them before, he just hoped that they would be a nuisance so that he could tell the Germans that we know you are lurking in Shire.It is definitely an unexpected surprise to be able to achieve such a result now.What can be expected next is that the Far East Expeditionary Force Command will definitely regard them as a tactical force, and the German army will definitely attract great attention. Next, there will be hard battles and big battles waiting for them.With a little regret and no psychological burden, Jiang Tongmin led thirteen Costin armed helicopters to withdraw from the battle.

The battle on the unnamed high ground returned to the situation where the expeditionary army attacked and the German army defended.After Hans received the telegram from above, knowing that the main force was approaching Kungur, he launched a counterattack at all costs, and finally gained control of the unnamed highland again at the cost of more than [-] casualties.The main force of the German army is moving to Kungur. After the expeditionary force's reconnaissance plane detected this information, Zhang Zizhong, not to be outdone, also assembled the main force to move to Kungur. Before the main force arrived, they occupied the unnamed high ground and tried their best to protect it.

An encounter began to evolve into a decisive battle. The attitudes of the top Chinese and German governments were surprisingly consistent.In Germany, Hitler was the leader. Everyone felt that this was an opportunity to completely remove the Chinese army from Soviet Russia. Hitler even personally drafted a telegram to Manstein, pointing out the significance of this war to the German government and placing his best wishes on Army Group A. high hopes.On the Chinese side, even Chen Cheng and others who opposed sending troops to Soviet Russia at the beginning believed that the arrow was on the string, and only a fatal blow to the German army could guarantee the reasonable existence of the Far Eastern Army in Soviet Russia.And even if it fails, that can give the Supreme Command a reason to increase its troops.The fundamental reason for the change in the concept of the Supreme Command is that the situation on the battlefield against Japan has become clear. Domestically, the National Defense Forces and the cadet army have fully grasped the initiative. Foreign countries, learning from the "leapfrog tactics" led by the Pacific Fleet has achieved fruitful results. Now It has successfully separated the Japanese mainland from the South Asian colonies.It can be expected that as long as the newly restored areas in the country are stabilized, then it will be time for the National Defense Forces and the Xuebing Army to launch a full-scale counter-offensive.Since the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan is expected, anyone who is a normal person will have such thoughts by taking advantage of the opportunity of this world war to gain enough benefits for the country.

Three days later in the morning, in the mist of Shire, Lal, who had been waiting impatiently, finally saw the expeditionary army's chariot troops.After carefully identifying the model of the Chinese tank through the telescope, he immediately got out of the tank and looked up, wondering if the Chinese also dispatched helicopter troops at the same time.Lal had already reported to Manstein about the battle three days ago.After the latter listened carefully to the report, he was very shocked at first, and then realized that if the threat of helicopters could not be resolved, then the tank units of Army Group A might be reduced to marginal troops. .As expected of a seasoned veteran, he came up with a countermeasure that night.His solution is also simple, which is to equip each armored unit above the brigade level with a battalion-sized air defense unit.

The German army is equipped with 88mm caliber anti-aircraft gun anti-aircraft units, which are quite capable of defending against golden eagles. After accepting a battalion of anti-aircraft units, Lal’s heart finally fell back to his chest. At this time, he is looking forward to the expedition Army helicopter units appeared.

This time, Zhang Zizhong did not send helicopter troops to participate in the battle of Shire.The unnamed highland and Shire, the unnamed highland is still the center of the battlefield, and after fully appreciating the sharpness of the helicopter force, Zhang Zizhong has a new understanding of the application of the helicopter. Now he advocates that the helicopter force be regarded as a strategic force that can determine the world , instead of putting it into the battlefield early.As for Xiang Wenlong, the brigade commander of Jiang Tieyao's tank brigade, after the Battle of Ufa, after fully understanding the German tank tactics, his previous anxiety has disappeared, and now he thinks more The most important thing is to be able to wash away the shame brought to the expeditionary army by the Battle of Ufa through their own efforts.From the perspective of the senior leaders of the expeditionary force, although the battle of Ufa was won in the end, because the battle process was very ugly, and the duel between the chariots was won by the bazooka, so this victory not only failed to bring glory, but brought Shame.Get up from wherever you fall, this is the most common attitude of cadets and soldiers towards failure and shame.Although the battle of Ufa was ugly, it was not all fruitless for Xiang Wenlong and others. At least they knew that the Germans used this way of fighting tanks, and it turned out that tank troops could still fight like this.So, how can we prevent this kind of tactics from the army?After careful research with his colleagues, Xiang Wenlong really came up with a good strategy.But today, he will use actual combat to test whether this tactic is feasible.

Lal inspected the air and found no helicopters. Although he was a little disappointed in his heart, he also became more confident in the next battle.As his order was conveyed to each battalion and each company, several Tiger tanks that had been dormant immediately began to move at high speed.Later, the German army entered the battlefield ahead of time at its own pace and took the lead in launching the attack.

When the German tanks started to move, Xiang Wenlong also conveyed his order.He first ordered the vanguard to stand by on the spot, and then personally led a battalion-sized tank destroyer to rush forward at high speed.

In terms of performance, the mandrill and the Tiger have similar firepower and fire control mechanisms. The mandrill has better armor protection, while the Tiger has better mobility and stability than the mandrill.In addition, after experiencing the Battle of Ufa, Xiang Wenlong discovered that the German soldiers were far better than his own in terms of the tactical quality of the tank soldiers on both sides.And if it is a confrontation, the gap will widen.From this, he concluded that if he wanted to win the contest with the German tank forces, he should try to avoid mobile warfare.Doing so would of course make the mandrill a target for the Germans, but at the same time, the combat effectiveness of the trainee tank soldiers would be greatly improved.And because there is a tank destroyer with specially enhanced armor protection and anti-tank capabilities, this guarantees the implementation of this tactic, and his side will not be passively beaten blindly, and can also have considerable counterattack capabilities.
