"Is this guy...really crazy? Does he really want to fight with the Russians? Will he be beaten to pieces or risk his life in that damn place?"
Unn couldn't believe that the young boy in front of him was talking seriously. At this time, how could there be such a blind bastard who thought that the Russian steel monster was easy to deal with?
Yes, the Russian infantry is inferior to their armored forces. If it is infantry versus infantry alone, the German army may not be able to achieve a good result in the battle. If they have the same number and technical equipment, there will not be much difference.
If the situation is serious, the German infantry may even be able to win with a high probability. Based on his past combat experience, Wu En dares to say that he is definitely not lying, and it is not nonsense.
But once those Russian armored units join the battle and come to muddy the waters, Unn can guarantee that the development of the battle will never develop in a direction that is too favorable to the German army.
Especially the Russians are starting to have more and more new tanks in their hands, and the old tanks are being phased out more and more quickly. The latest T43 medium tanks and Stalin No. 6 heavy tanks are very powerful. Ordinary German armored forces can't fight against these tanks.
The monster has no advantage at all, and only the elite German armored units equipped with Panthers and King Tigers can compete with it.
The young boy in front of him holds the Tiger King in his hand. This is indeed his ability to challenge the Russians. Wu En has to admit this.
But what can these eight King Tigers do? Especially when Unn increasingly feels that the Russian force he encountered just now is just a vanguard force, and a large Russian force will follow soon.
This young boy named Calvus actually dares to utter arrogant words at this time. Is this guy a fool or a lunatic!?
"snort......"
I stared at Calvus' face for nearly ten seconds, but I couldn't find the slightest hint of joking or fear in it.
At this point, Wu En can only say that he may have really met a "reckless man" who is not afraid of death, but it may also be that this guy really has some trump card or ability that he doesn't know, and he is sure to defeat those Russians.
I can't say for sure.
Anyway, you are not the one going to fight the Russians to death, so why should you care about such a fool who doesn't listen to good advice?
There is no need to say more at this point. Since you want to fight, then I will help you and let me see what your final result will be.
After thinking about the matter, Unn gradually relaxed his frown, but Calvus in front of him still kept a smile on his face and waited.
"Listen carefully, I will only say it once, there is no time to say it a second time, Lieutenant."
Seeing that the lieutenant colonel in front of him was finally willing to say something, Kalvus nodded again with that harmless smile.
"Of course, I'm listening, sir."
...
About two minutes later, when Kalvus, who had confirmed that everything he wanted to know was too late, returned to the car again, Kammer, who had already burned the second cigarette in his hand to the butt, was sitting on the edge of the turret waiting.
"What did you hear? Are the Russians in the village planning to hold a party to welcome us?"
"There's no party, but we have to give the Russians some gifts..."
Calvus, who returned to his car, immediately called his comrades to gather around him. The people summoned were not only Calvus's own crew, but also the few King Tigers accompanying him who were also on board just now.
Other German armored soldiers who got out of the car not long ago.
"Look here, guys, I got some new information."
The war zone map taken out from the satchel on his waist was spread out by Calvus on the ground, and the twigs he picked up casually became Calvus' temporary guest lecturer.
"The enemy in the village is not simple, it is a heavily armored force."
"The infantry people described that the enemies were all the latest Stalin No. 6 heavy tanks, and there were also a few new T43 tanks. I don't know what the follow-up strength was, but in the first wave of battles that attacked the village's defenses, at least
About fifteen Russian tanks appeared, accompanied by at least one battalion of infantry."
"A battalion!?"
The other commander, with his general's hat tilted on his forehead, sounded surprised, as if he had heard something extraordinary, and hurriedly asked Calvus.
"We may be able to defeat more tanks with fewer tanks, but how do you deal with infantry? We only have these eight tanks. The village is a paradise for infantry fighting. If we rush there, we will be surrounded by them from all sides. There is no infantry cover to rush in.
You can only die, Karl."
The words of the commander with his military cap tilted were nodded in approval by several other commanders present. Kalvus, who turned his attention to Kosher, quickly responded.
"You're right, so we have to go over and have a look and do some reconnaissance. See if those Russian infantry are still in the village. Maybe they have left for other tasks? If so, this is our absolute best chance.
Great opportunity, the Russians don’t know we are coming, this is a great opportunity to surprise their heavy armored forces.”
"...."
Seriously speaking, several captains present felt that Calvus's idea was a bit too whimsical, and of course it was.
Why do you think that the Russian infantry will leave after taking the village? This is contrary to common sense. Isn't it normal to continue to hold on after taking the village?
All the German commanders gathered together had their own thoughts in their hearts, but no one stood up and spoke first. The first person to break the silence was ultimately Karvus's best friend, No. 213 King Tiger Commander Kosche.
you.
"Then I'll go with you. Just like before, I'll drive a barrel truck over and see if it works."
How do you confirm whether the enemy's deployment is what you expected? It's very simple. You can tell by going there and seeing it with your own eyes. The bold and determined brothers Calvus and Kosher often drive barrel trucks to the enemy.
I went to investigate and find out the situation right under my nose, and it was the same this time.
That is to say, just when Kalvus and Koshel were preparing to drive the barrel truck for forward reconnaissance, something was happening to the Soviet troops stationed in the village ahead that they were not aware of yet.
"Emergency support? Why not send tanks? Since we need emergency support, wouldn't it be better to go faster? Why do you have to leave us behind?"
The company officer with a question mark on his face was still not quite sure of the sudden situation. In the newly temporarily built forward headquarters in the center of the village, Kirill, who was holding the newspaper that had just been telegraphed, was explaining to him.
"The ones following us in the attack are all light infantry, and there is a serious lack of heavy defensive weapons. The superiors are worried that if we are transferred, the village may be in trouble if it encounters a counterattack by German armored units and large forces. It lacks heavy weapons.
It’s impossible to hold on to it.”
"An infantry encounter just broke out in the south. The group of Germans we bumped into were probably the same group as the ones we met in the village. They probably belonged to the same division. We lacked the encirclement troops there so we had to attack us first.
The light infantry here are being mobilized for support. In short, the follow-up infantry will arrive soon. The time we have no infantry available is very short, maybe not even an hour."
