USSR 1941

No one sees anything wrong with this.

Because the quality of the German infantry is very good, and there are actually artillery and armored soldiers in the infantry divisions... the artillery and tanks in the infantry divisions are just relatively small.

Those artillery and tank soldiers will simply teach them some basic control knowledge, and even use veterans and recruits together, that is, a veteran and several recruits form an artillery or tank team, which can barely operate.

The infantry operating in this way is equipped with a large number of artillery and tanks, coupled with air supremacy, it will undoubtedly block the pursuers behind them from the line of defense.

The large troops of the Don River Army discarded all their heavy equipment, and drove cars, barrel carts, and tricycles to open a road to break through from the mountain road or even from the place where there was no road. In just one day, the Don River Army had already jumped out of the encirclement.

At this time, the 51st Army Command still knew nothing about it, and Shulka was still nervously directing the front-line battle with Zolotarev Veniaminko and others.

The battle in the city of Miloway has stabilized. Not only has it stabilized, but also a steady stream of reinforcements have been sent to the "No. 3" highland and Butur village.

Of course, these reinforcements were sent to the battlefield after simple training (basically just knowing how to shoot), and they all used German Mauser rifles.

But this is not important, what is important is that they can cause a little trouble to the German army and bring soldiers and some necessary supplies to the two places where there is a shortage of troops.

The battle in the direction of the "No. 3" highland has not been fierce, which is determined by the terrain of the "No. 3" highland.

The "No. 3" height is not suitable for tank operations.

This is not to say that German tanks cannot drive up the "No. 3" highland. In fact, most of the "No. 3" highlands are not steep. If the German army wants to, they can pull the tanks up.

The problem is that the tanks of this era are difficult to adapt to the battle on steep slopes: on steep slopes, the rotation and aiming of tank turrets are different from those on flat ground. In this position, you can aim at the target. When you turn to the side, the barrel will be aimed at the sky or the ground. (This kind of situation is easy to occur when the left and right sides of the tank body are unbalanced).

On the other hand, the Soviet airborne troops are equipped with a large number of rocket launchers, which can effectively hide and destroy tanks in jungles, bushes or uneven mountains.

In fact, half-person-high weeds are the most suitable for bazooka shooters to hide, because they only need to use the same kind of weeds as camouflage, and then it is difficult to be found wherever they lie down.

Even they can safely use the kneeling position to prepare for the launch and pre-aim, until they suddenly raise their chests and pull the trigger when they are about to shoot...

Before the enemy could react, the rocket went straight to the tank with a "chirp".

There are many such weeds on the "No. 3" highland, and the German tanks never sent tanks to the highland after suffering such losses several times.

If the German army wants to attack the "No. 3" highland seriously, they should use flamethrowers or bombers to throw gasoline to burn the weeds first.

However, the German army obviously did not have so much time, so they could only use infantry to attack forcefully.

The result of this is that teams of German troops were shot by the Soviet army and made no progress on the way to the charge. After all, the Soviet army was condescending and occupied the ground, and they were still airborne troops. They were used as infantry in the Battle of Stalingrad and fought several tough battles. of airborne troops.

The most intense fighting was in the village of Butur.

There was an armored regiment that the German army came to reinforce Butur village.

The reason why there is only one armored regiment is because the Southern Jiangsu Front Army, in fact, the main force is the 51st Army Group Army that has launched a full-scale attack on the German defense line. In this case, the German army has no more troops to reinforce Butur Village.

But in fact, the more important thing is that they thought that one armored regiment was enough. After all, they estimated that when the armored regiment arrived at Butur Village, the Soviet airborne troops were still "wandering" in the wild... No one would think that the Soviet army could Conquer Butur village in a short time.

If this is the case, then of course it is more than enough for a German armored regiment to wipe out the lightly equipped Soviet airborne troops and consolidate the defense of Butur village.

However, when the 285th Armored Regiment arrived at Butur Village, they were surprised to find that the Soviet Army not only captured Butur Village but even had time to build defenses.

"What's going on?" Lieutenant Colonel Flory, who commanded the armored regiment, couldn't help asking.

It is not surprising that Lieutenant Colonel Flory did not know that Butur Village was captured, because Butur Village had just been captured in less than 20 minutes, and the German command was not even sure whether Butur Village was captured. The village of Butur was bombarded by a swarm of rockets and contact was lost.

When Lieutenant Colonel Flory contacted the command, the command was still asking: "Really? Are you sure the Soviet army has built a defense?"

"Yes!"

"Then, they have already occupied Butur Village!" The headquarters ordered: "Launch an attack immediately. They have just occupied the village not long ago, and they are not ready yet!"

"Yes!" Lieutenant Colonel Florey replied, and then immediately ordered into the intercom: "Forward, attack!"

The Soviet Army was indeed not prepared.

Under normal circumstances, the Soviet army cannot withstand the attack of an armored regiment.

The problem is that this is not a general situation. The Soviet army dragged out 88MM anti-aircraft guns from the German warehouse... These anti-aircraft guns are a weapon against tanks. It hardly needs to consider the thickness of the tank armor within a range of one kilometer. As long as it hits, there is no luck reason.

This gave the Soviet army the ability to strike targets from a distance.

That is to say, the anti-tank capability of the Soviet army, which originally had only one level, which is a distance of 50 meters from the rocket launcher, has been changed to two levels.

With such a heavy anti-tank ability, it is completely different. The German tanks drove far away, and they were constantly destroyed by 88 guns on the way. back down.

By the time Lieutenant Colonel Florey realized that he should contact the Air Force to cooperate with him to advance steadily, the Soviet army had already gained a firm foothold.

Everything is moving in a direction that favors the Soviet army.

But at this time, the correspondent reported to Veniamenco: "The enemy on the 'No. 3' height seems to have given up their attack!"

"Give up the attack?" Veniamenko couldn't help frowning when he heard this, he didn't understand what it meant.

After a pause, Veniamenco asked, "Is the enemy preparing for the next round of attack?"

"No!" replied the correspondent: "Major Slava thinks they are retreating because they have abandoned the positions they have captured!"

This is completely unreasonable, because the "No. 3" highland guards the road that the Don Army must pass.
