After a period of observation, Medeles gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Tanks and armored vehicles will definitely not be able to come out in a short time. Let's evacuate people first and then tell everyone to be careful of Chinese snipers."
Two search forces fell into the hands of the same small reconnaissance convoy of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. The senior officers of the Second Armored Group were puzzled and began to look for the reason. It happened that Seth exaggerated Zhang Xuyun's combat power in order to shirk responsibility, so All senior officers were deeply impressed by the "Chinese sniper".
The mudslide not only washed away the road under Larbu Mountain, but also almost completely destroyed the surrounding terrain. This not only almost completely blocked the possibility of tanks from both sides participating in the battle, but also brought considerable resistance to the actions of the infantry. Jiang Tiezhang Ben, the commander of the three infantry regiments under his command, was excitedly preparing to lead his troops on a killing spree. When they came to the foot of the mountain, they saw the mud and rocks lying in front of them and the muddy water still flowing down. They were dumbfounded. Such terrain It is completely unsuitable for group charges, and if the troops are dispersed, the German tanks and armored vehicles trapped in the mud and rocks will become natural fortresses, and the ambush will become an attack, and the outcome of the battle will be unknown.
The three of them had been holding it in for too long. They could have feasted on it, but they opened their mouths and discovered that the soft-shelled eggs had turned into hard bones. The three of them first discussed it with their subordinates for a long time. Gu Dagang, the most straightforward among them, couldn't help but laugh. He only shouted on the channel: "How are we going to fight? As long as the Germans hide in the car, there is nothing we can do against them." Later, he directly called Lu Deyang, the most resourceful person among the three, and asked: "Old man Lu, do you have any good ideas?"
Lu Deyang was observing the battlefield carefully with a telescope at this time. The adjutant handed him the microphone. He took it and pressed the send button and said: "There is no good way, but there is a way to die."
"Say it quickly."
"We gathered the best marksmen in our respective regiments to attack the German snipers. The Germans can't always stay in the car. Well, there is no need to wait. The Germans have begun to break out. Opportunity." Lu Deyang said. Seizing the opportunity, he threw the wheat to the adjutant, and then shouted to the left and right: "Brothers, spread out a little and find suitable sniper positions. You are good at sniping. If you get the chance, hit me hard. Let's The Germans must be beaten until they dare not leave their tanks."
Medeles was worried that the Chinese army would completely occupy the favorable terrain on the periphery and slowly consume them, so he eagerly hoped to master a certain amount of infantry strength so that he could seize a bridgehead leading to a safe zone. However, as the saying goes, what you fear will come, so he warned you earlier. My men were careful about Chinese snipers. The next moment, Chinese snipers appeared.
After the mudslide occurred, the sound of gunfire has not stopped. The difference is that to the ears of the Germans, the sound of gunfire at that time was like the sound of thunder when the sun was shining brightly in summer. Although the thunder was loud, the raindrops were small. But now, the sound of gunfire is small. The sound was like the harsh winter rain, which completely chilled the Germans.
"Your Excellency, the Chinese have indeed sent out snipers. But do the Chinese have so many snipers? Or do they all receive sniper training?" The adjutant drove the binoculars and saw no less than three soldiers being killed by the Chinese. After a headshot, he said to Medeles,
Medeles looked gloomy and looked at the place where the fighting was fiercest. He didn't know what he was thinking.
After the German army had a battle with the Chinese Far East Expeditionary Force, a debate arose among the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers of the German army about "Which is better, the Wei Qing assault rifle or the MP-40 submachine gun?" Medeles once heard about it. At that time, he did not take the argument seriously. As a senior commander of the German armored department, he always believed that the final outcome of the Soviet-Russian battlefield could only be determined by the armored forces of both sides. In other words, he never believed that pure infantry could It had an impact on this century war, and in his mind, German manufacturing may not necessarily be the best in the world, but it is inevitable to be better than Chinese manufacturing.
In this case, the adjutant's words sounded to him like naked sarcasm and challenge from the Chinese.
"As for the machine gun, our general machine gun, the range of the MP-40 is not as good as the Chinese Wei Qing type, but don't we still have the MG general machine gun? The Chinese want to take advantage of the Wei Qing type's range advantage to suppress us, so we will use the MG general machine gun Counter them."
The Germans have strong execution capabilities, and MG general machine guns quickly joined the battle in batches. With the general machine guns joining the battle, the situation seemed to be reversed by the Germans. Of course, this was only temporary.
"The commander-in-chief said that the main force of the German army is on its way, and we must resolve the battle as soon as possible. Brothers, where are our mortars?"
Not to mention that most of the self-propelled artillery and mortars equipped by the 1st Cavalry Division were swallowed up or destroyed by the mudslide. Even if they were not damaged, they were in the mudslide and they could not obtain a flat artillery position. The expeditionary force was different. , they were condescending and still able to obtain intact artillery positions, so soon the battle situation became one-sided again, and this time, Medeles had no other choice but to order his men to stay as close to their respective tanks as possible. The chariots served as cover to resist the Chinese attack,
Medeles did not want to be trapped in the mudslide, but this was the only way to preserve his strength. After witnessing several concentrated fire breaks out but being driven back by the Chinese, he could only give up the idea of concentrating his forces to fight for the bridgehead and instead demanded Each ministry conserves its strength to await the arrival of reinforcements,
"Commander will never give up on us. When our main force arrives, it will be the day when we counter-encircle the Chinese. Gentlemen, the time to test you has arrived." Medeles encouraged his men, and at the same time He commanded about five hundred German troops and began to build defensive positions.
The German army in the mudslide was unable to break out. The German army led by Medeles, who was not trapped by the mudslide, would definitely become the priority target of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. Fortunately, the German army encountered the mudslide during the march. The connection is very tight, so Medeles doesn't have to worry about them fighting alone.
The Germans really began to resist using tanks as cover. This was both expected and unexpected by Jiang Tiezhang. It was impossible to capture the First Cavalry Division in a short period of time. Fortunately, they were contacted. Jiang Tongmin's helicopter squadron was defeated, and he had the confidence to compete with the main force of the Second Armored Group Army. When night fell, Jiang Tiezhang looked around the battlefield and found that the results were not ideal. He telegraphed all frontline units and ordered them to temporarily shrink their troops in order to Prepare with all your strength for the upcoming war,
"Although we failed to deal a heavy blow to the 1st Cavalry Division, by trapping it here, our original goal has been achieved. Larbu Mountain is our only chance to delay the Second Armored Group Army. Brothers, do your best. Are you ready?" Jiang Tiezhang asked his men at the military council held at nine o'clock that night,
