Let's put it this way, Lavrinenko, who received the mission from Malashenko, had just led his men to the battlefield urgently, and the first sight that greeted him almost frightened him.
"Oh my god! What did this Alexi do!? How big a hornet's nest did he stir up? Why are there so many German tanks!?"
If the German tanks that appeared in front of him were only 20 or 30, or even 40 or 50, Lavrinenko, who was already accustomed to big scenes, would never lose his composure to this point. Such a small number of tanks and Stalin's 1st Guards Tank Division
It's just a small thing compared to the big deal.
But right now, what appears in front of Lavrinenko is a torrent of German tanks sweeping in like a storm in the snow. No one can tell exactly how many there are. But he has rich experience in leading troops and actual combat.
Lavrinenko just took a quick look and saw at least nearly a hundred German tanks!
What is the concept of nearly a hundred German tanks? It doesn’t matter if you have never seen this scene. You can imagine what it would be like to have nearly a hundred large excavators gathered together. Anyway, they are all crawler vehicles. The real number is nearly a hundred.
A scene of tanks gathering would only be more terrifying than this, especially more so.
On the vast snowfield as far as the eye can see, nearly a hundred German tanks are not gathered together, but are divided into multiple assault groups and multiple battle groups, combined with infantry, assault guns, half-track vehicles and other types of operations.
The units advanced in coordination, pushing straight towards Alexi who was holding his ground.
Whether the enemy's combat effectiveness is strong or not, in fact, many times you can get a rough idea just by looking at the equipment.
The Germans are accustomed to giving priority to allocating the most sophisticated weapons and equipment to their most elite troops. Generally speaking, the better equipped the German troops are, the stronger their overall combat effectiveness will be, at least in most cases.
.
Lavrinenko, who has fought against the Germans many times, understands this, so the Germans in front of him who are well-equipped will most likely not be easy to deal with.
According to what Lavrinenko learned from Malashenko before setting off, if Alexi had not acted without authorization and deliberately poked the German hornet's nest, the situation of the leading reconnaissance unit should have been relatively safe.
This group of veterans who are best at concealing themselves for reconnaissance theoretically has little chance of being discovered by the enemy, but the scene that is now presented in front of Lavrinenko is that the German who should have stayed calm has turned from defense to offense.
They opened their posture and mobilized in full force. It seemed that they had mobilized the absolute main force and quickly rushed towards the direction of the reconnaissance troops in the form of a crescent moon.
If he hadn't led his troops to arrive in time, he would have rushed into the overwhelming surging momentum in front of him. Lavrinenko estimated that the Germans might only need two or three cigarettes at most to ride on the face of the reconnaissance troops and completely tear them apart.
broken.
Those little T-70s are just fine for reconnaissance, but do you still expect the main gun of that small water pipe to hit the Germans' medium and heavy tanks head-on?
Don't be kidding, in a head-on conflict, this thing can't even defeat the Long Guan No. 3, let alone the German tiger and leopard zoo.
Didn't Alexi think about retreating in time?
Lavrinenko suddenly considered this factor, but the conclusion he drew based on the actual situation at hand was not very good.
This attitude, coupled with Lavrinenko's understanding of Alexi, a bastard.
I'm afraid that by the time the reconnaissance team discovers that the Germans are rushing up, it's already too late, or that for some reason they don't know yet, they can't pull out their legs and can't walk at all.
By the time they wanted to run or had a chance to escape, the entire army had been completely surrounded by the Germans in a crescent shape and was within the effective shooting range. Lavrinenko knew very well that those Germans' broken cars could be fired to the end.
How accurate is it? The tubes are longer than those of tigers and leopards. Just in terms of shooting accuracy, it really beats the Red Army tanks and ranks above them.
"Follow me to the First Company! The Second Company and the Third Company rush up from the flanks, use the terrain to block the Germans' edge, and don't let their encirclement line close! What we have to do is to buy time. As soon as Comrade Division Commander arrives with the large troops,
These fascist bastards are doomed!"
"Comrades, for victory! Ula!!!"
Wu——La——
The radio channel was filled with war cries from the commanders of each crew, but Lavrinenko's tactical arrangement was very simple.
The Germans' tactical intention is very obvious. They use their advantages in strength and technical equipment to form a crescent-shaped encirclement and attack fiercely. The German army in the middle of the crescent will be responsible for key suppression, attracting firepower, and investing the most powerful offensive energy to defeat the enemy.
Being entangled, you can't escape even if you want to, and the German guy in the two crescent parts needs to be responsible for expanding the crescent moon into a complete full moon.
Their mission is not to cause much damage and pressure to the Red Army, but to take advantage of the opportunities created by the friendly forces in the center of the crescent offensive echelon to outflank the enemy in two ways and cut off the retreat before the enemy intends to retreat. Turn the crescent moon into a full moon and turn the crescent moon into a full moon.
All enemy troops in the area are locked inside and eventually destroyed in one fell swoop.
To put it bluntly, the German guy obviously planned to become fat in one go.
This is not the first time this tactic has appeared. The Germans in 1941 had already used this disgusting dirty trick again and again.
At that time, the Red Army had just experienced the ravages of the Great Purge. Commanders and fighters at all levels were highly dogmatic. They copied all the tactics they learned in military schools without knowing how to adapt them. Countless infantry and tank troops were eaten by the Germans one after another.
Lose.
As a veteran who has been fighting since 1941, Lavrinenko is undoubtedly familiar with this tactic and also knows how to break it.
Once this tactic is stuck by the enemy and comes within the effective range, it is difficult to break away. Even if your maneuverability is better and faster than the Germans, you can get rid of them. The Germans’ accurate tank guns can also make your escape easier.
The blood is flowing, leaving a heavy price. In short, you have to shed your skin even if you don't die.
If you want to run, hurry up before the new moon forms or enters the effective range, otherwise you will completely lose the opportunity.
The counter-tactics currently adopted by Lavrinenko require a certain strength foundation, not to mention matching the strength of the enemy, but at least to the extent of similar strength.
Deploy the main force from the key parts of the two crescents to block the enemy's offensive edge. If possible, it is best to push back and repel them. Without the crescent moon responsible for cutting off the retreat and encircling the force, the German's full moon encirclement will naturally be
