Chapter 834 Anti-tank trench monthly ticket)
The fifth update, where is the monthly ticket?
************
In the end, the fierce battle ended with Rotmistrov's unwilling order.
Rotmistrov dared not continue to send the tank troops, because he was worried that he would fall into such chaos if he continued to join the troops.
He is right, it's a bit like infiltration warfare... He is always at a disadvantage when he is in the advantage of military strength.
This ending was beyond everyone's expectations.
Because the Soviet army seemed to have met their wish... a close battle with the German tanks, but they failed to win.
But at the same time, it was also expected.
Because this melee battle was not a melee battle that could cause chaos in the German defense line as the Soviet army imagined, but a melee battle that caused chaos in the Soviet army within the Soviet army.
After the Soviet army retreated, the German tanks also retreated to their positions because they knew that once the two sides broke off contact, the Soviet artillery fire would take effect again.
Sure enough, not long after, shells rushed up from the Soviet army, and the shells blew up all the tank wreckage, and the Soviet army, who had no time to withdraw from the battlefield, had the Soviet army and the infantry who had no time to withdraw from the battlefield.
General Streck took advantage of the break of this battle and called several officers to hold an emergency meeting.
"Gentlemen!" General Streck said with a serious expression: "Although we won this battle, there is nothing to celebrate, because despite this, the gap between us and the enemy in terms of military strength is even greater!"
General Streck was right. The Germans destroyed 300 Soviet tanks in this battle... The reason why they were called "great" was because the battle was too chaotic and could not be accurately counted.
The German army lost more than 100 tanks.
Among them, the 3rd Armored Division suffered serious losses... Perhaps because the 3rd Armored Division did not have ME63 cover, they lost 65 tanks in the battle just now. In addition, the 36 losses of the 21st Armored Division and the 15 infantry divisions on the south bank of the Pushor River were blown up, a total of 116 were lost.
In this way, the 48th Armored Army had only more than 100 light tanks including the Infantry Division.
The original comparison with the Soviet tanks could barely reach one to three, but now it has reached one to four.
No one has expressed his opinion, because this is an inevitable result.
After a moment of silence, General Streck asked Qin Chuan: "What's going on with ME63?"
Qin Chuan replied helplessly: "They discovered its weakness, that is, they knew that ME63 would need to be controlled for a period of time. The result was that our controller suffered heavy casualties under the fire of their machine gun!"
"Can you continue to fight?" General Streck asked.
Qin Chuan nodded and replied: "Yes, but there is a gap in the control hand, which will further reduce the hit rate of ME63!"
General Streck nodded heavily. Although he did not want to hear these, this was a reality, an unavoidable reality.
"ME63 has performed well!" Albridge said: "In fact, it is a miracle that we can achieve reality and achieve what we are like now!"
"Colin!" said General Streck: "Why do you say this like a last word?"
"Shouldn't we do this?" Colonel Albridge spread his hands.
No one spoke because they all thought Colonel Albridge was right, and if the situation of war continued to develop like this... the destruction of the 48th Armored Division was inevitable.
"How is the situation with the SS 2nd Armored Army?" Colonel Slain asked.
"It's still the same!" General Strek shook his head: "Although they are approaching us, the speed is very slow!"
"Do we have reinforcements?" Colonel Slain asked again.
General Strek shook his head again: "General Kischner originally planned to arrange a helicopter formation to provide reinforcements for us...but you know the situation!"
Of course the officers knew what was going on.
Helicopters must be used in the darkness of air superiority.
It's daytime now, and the sky is full of Soviet aircraft. In this case, helicopters are used... that's almost what sent them to die.
"It seems that we can only rely on ourselves!" Colonel Slain came to the conclusion helplessly.
"Can we retreat south of the Pushol River?" asked Colonel Albridge, "as we discussed before!"
"Of course!" General Streck said: "The question is how much can we withdraw?"
"Yes!" Colonel Slain added: "The enemy will use air force and artillery to bomb the pontoon. Unless we throw all the tanks and cars on the north bank of the Pushore River, it will be difficult for us to withdraw anything!"
"Fuck it!" said Albridge, "I would rather stay here with those Russians!"
At this time, a roar of fighter planes in the sky, and then a bomb exploded nearby. A layer of broken soil was leaking from the command center. The kerosene lamp hanging on the top kept shaking, and the officers unconsciously bent down to avoid it.
General Streck said while sweeping the dust on the map: "What we need is more aircraft to drive away all the annoying aircraft of the Soviets, so that we can win this battle!"
Qin Chuan looked at the top of the fortification that was still leaking down and said, "No, General, maybe we don't need more planes to win this battle!"
"You mean...just what we have now?"
"Yes!"
"What can we do, Lieutenant Colonel?" General Streck said: "Maybe we will cause heavy losses to the Soviets. In the end, they may not be able to leave even a hundred tanks, but we will be wiped out. Do you understand? We will wiped out!"
Qin Chuan did not answer. He just looked at the top of the fortification and asked back, "General, do you think... if the tank drove past it, it would be safe and sound?"
"What does it mean?" General Streck looked at Qin Chuan with confusion.
"I bet that the Soviets didn't know that there was such an anti-tank trench in our position!" Qin Chuan said: "Or... they knew that there was this anti-tank trench, but they would not take it seriously, nor would they know the specific location. Even if their senior management knew the specific location, they would not convey it to every tank driver and told them to be careful!"
"You're right, Lieutenant Colonel!" said Colonel Albridge. "This anti-tank trench was dug by the Soviet engineers and transport soldiers themselves, and the Soviets probably wouldn't take it seriously. But what does this have to do with whether we can win this battle?!"
Qin Chuan did not answer.
Chapter completed!
