After suffering too many defeats, the Soviets also summed up a way to deal with this German tactic, which was to delay the momentum of the German army's charge at all costs. In their understanding, if they could not delay the charge of the German tank troops at the first time, If the momentum is strong, then wait to be broken up and become a flock of sheep to be poked. The person in charge of the Soviet military observation group stationed in the Wenlong Brigade is a major general named Likardovsky. Due to his position, Likardowski certainly hoped that Xiang Wenlong Brigade would win, but now, seeing that Xiang Wenlong Brigade was still unable to deploy its formation and take the initiative to meet them, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "Compared with the Nazis, the Chinese are still Too immature." After making this comment, he sighed heavily and said to the others: "The Chinese will definitely be defeated, let's prepare to retreat."
Soviet military officers who can enter the military observation group, regardless of their position, are at least the military officers of a unit, so they all lack battlefield judgment. Someone answered: "It seems that we still have to rely on ourselves. The Chinese are obviously not Familiar with the German tactics of war." Everyone in the Soviet military observation group had already got off the station and sat on the ground. At this time, they all sat back in the car so that they could retreat at any time.
Rikardovsky stood in the car, picked up the binoculars and looked towards the battlefield. Suddenly he said "Huh". Seeing this, other people stood up and raised their binoculars, and then their expressions became wonderful.
On the battlefield, Xiang Wenlong's new order had been conveyed. As this order was issued, a total of twenty-seven "Siberian Tiger" tank destroyers came out from behind the Mandrill array and rushed towards the German tank group. , both sides were moving at high speed, and soon each captured the shooting range and gave the other party the shooting range. The sound of cannons sounded, and the battle began.
Separated by a distance of about two kilometers, the strike accuracy of both sides was affected. However, because the base number was relatively large, "unlucky ones" still appeared. The "unlucky ones" were both Chinese and German. At this time, the Siberian Tiger's armor The advantage of protective capabilities was highlighted. The German Tigers had three mid-range guns, two of which were paralyzed on the spot. As many as five Siberian Tigers were hit by the expeditionary force, but none of them suffered fatal injuries.
Lal, who was behind the German array, saw this scene clearly through his telescope. He blinked hard twice and looked again. When he saw the enemy tanks that were even emitting fireworks and were still moving forward, his heart naturally lifted. He stood up and his face turned livid, "Why is this happening? Isn't it a tank destroyer? Isn't the armor protection capability of a tank destroyer supposed to be weaker than that of a tank? Or it may be a new Chinese tank." His mind was rolling. After these thoughts, I immediately made a decision: "Get closer and fight again. We may have encountered a new type of Chinese tank."
Compared with the Mandrill, the only difference in appearance between the Siberian Tiger and the Mandrill is that it has a lower footprint, a thicker frame, and is not equipped with an anti-aircraft machine gun, so Lal can't figure out whether it is a tank destroyer or a tank. Of course, he doesn't care now. ,
German tank soldiers have their own pride, which is earned through numerous achievements. Therefore, for them, powerful enemies will only arouse their fighting spirit, but will not make them feel afraid.
Lal was deploying new tactics, and Xiang Wenlong was not idle either. In the first round of contact, more than half of the twenty-seven Siberian Tigers opened fire, but only three Tigers were hit, which made him very annoyed. "Hold on," he said. We are in Soviet Russia now. Victory or defeat is a matter of national importance. Brothers, do you want to embarrass the country?"
The Xiang Wenlong Brigade participated in the Battle of Ufa, so they knew how powerful the German tank force was. The formation time of the expeditionary force's tank force was still too short. The deficiencies in training and actual combat not only made their techniques and tactics rough, but also required
Their psychological quality is not strong enough and they cannot quickly enter the role. This is the fundamental reason why Xiang Wenlong does not dare to attack the German army with his entire army.
Xiang Wenlong was very dissatisfied with the performance of his subordinates, and subconsciously strengthened ideological education on the spot. Little did he know that in the eyes of the Soviet Russians, their performance was completely out of line and beyond the scope of what the Soviet Russians could understand. How could the German army be restrained?
The Soviet Russians have their own insistence on armored cluster tactics. The more so, the less they can understand everything that is happening now. The Chinese have obviously made tactical mistakes, so why can they still gain an advantage? Could it be said that the role of the equipment has been enough?
Has the factor that replaced people and tactics become the first factor in determining victory or defeat? Such an idea appeared in Ricardovsky's mind, and his eyes were fixed on the Siberian tiger and it was difficult to move away.
What did the Soviet Russians feel? Lal and Xiang Wenlong, who were on the front line and had been distracted by the war, were unable to understand and were unwilling to understand. In just a few minutes, two more Tigers were destroyed.
Although the Siberian Tiger was injured, it still maintained its full combat power. Lal finally realized that something was wrong. The Tiger was a heavy tank. In the previous contest with the Soviet Red Army, it was the Tiger that allowed the Germans to defeat the enemy.
They invaded Moscow and then headed north. In the previous Battle of Ufa, the Tiger also performed well. How come in just a few weeks, the Chinese have developed such a sharp new type of combat weapon?
Car, no, it is impossible, this must be an illusion. Our German tank soldiers are invincible. As for the Chinese, they have just learned to drive tanks. How can they be the opponents of our Aryan tank soldiers?
The distance was shortened to about 1,500 meters, but the duel between the two tanks was still completely won by the expeditionary force. Lal could no longer remain calm. The more distracting thoughts in his mind, the decisions he made began to lose their rationality.
, "Speed up the advance. The Chinese want to rely on the performance of their tanks to defeat us. Let us let them know that the tactical literacy of tank soldiers is crucial. We, the tank warriors of the Third Reich, are invincible..." La
While making this decision, I ordered the commander of the command vehicle to speed up. As a result, he was spotted by a waiting mandrill. Then, there was no further answer. His command vehicle was hit by an armor-piercing bomb. Amidst the explosion,
Lal only felt a wave of heat coming over him and then lost consciousness.
The Battle of the Shire was only part of the Battle of Kungur, but because of the special location of the Shire, it became the key to determining the success or failure of the battle. In this battle, China and Germany sent chariot troops of comparable size to compete for control of the Shire.
As a result, because the commander of the German armored forces Lahr was killed early, the Lahr Tank Brigade lost its command and fell into fighting on its own. Therefore, the Chinese Xiang Wenlong Brigade got the opportunity to completely annihilate the Lahr Brigade.
The impact of being wiped out was not actually important to the entire campaign. For Army Group A, what was fatal was that the Shire was captured early by the expeditionary force, resulting in an empty right wing. Therefore, the campaign entered an expeditionary phase almost from the beginning.
If the Soviets seize the opportunity and show their claws, the only way for Army Group A is to fail.
