At 8 o'clock in the morning on the 11th, the mighty German army appeared near the Syrian desert border. At this time, several Anjia Army reconnaissance planes hovering at high altitude in the vicinity quickly discovered the smoke-filled German troops. They immediately dispersed and deliberately
Lowered the flight altitude to find out the situation of the German army. Please remember
The firing sound of the anti-aircraft artillery vehicles in the German army rang out and they began to drive away these reconnaissance aircraft. However, the speed of the S4 reconnaissance aircraft was as high as more than 700 kilometers, and all the anti-aircraft artillery vehicles were in vain.
As the vanguard of the entire southern front, General Salmuz, the commander of the 30th Army who stood in front of the six military units in this cross-border operation, stood in the passenger seat of a moving open-top jeep and saw the silver car with the Flying Fox logo.
The gray reconnaissance plane saw the situation of his troops clearly and felt very depressed.
"Command the entire army to speed up and advance!"
Charmuz asked the jeep driver to stop the vehicle, got into the communications command vehicle that was following the jeep, and signaled the staff to convey orders to subordinate divisions.
The team continued to move forward. After about half an hour, the desert terrain changed, and large areas of exposed weathered rocks appeared in the field of vision. It seemed that they were approaching the edge of the desert. Just as Shalmuz was pondering, the Anjia Army discovered the movement of their troops.
How to deal with it, step 22
An urgent telegram came from Lieutenant General Wolfe, commander of the division, saying that he had led his troops to the border and had just encountered a tank unit of the Anjia Army. After the enemy defeated one of his regiments, they retreated easily. Wolfe, who only had a small number of tank units under his command,
If you don't dare to chase, please ask for instructions on what to do.
Schalmuz was extremely shocked and felt that the incident had a strange atmosphere. He thought about it and quickly reported it to the commander of the Southern Front, Marshal Hans von Zalmuth.
Hans von Zalmuth's command vehicle was still driving in the middle of the desert fifty kilometers away from the border. It was surrounded by vast yellow sand. The morning sun rose from the east. Through the window, the dazzling light stimulated him.
His eyes quickly filled with tears, and Zalmut quickly closed the curtains. After his vision returned to normal, he put his hand on his chin and thought carefully about the map.
Hans von Zalmuth had just been promoted to marshal by Hitler. He was not willing to fail in the first battle after his promotion. He was thinking that the possibility of this raid no longer existed, and Anjiajun's large troops would surely continue to flow.
When the ground reaches the border area, it is necessary to have a foothold to advance to support the next war.
After repeated thinking, Zalmut ordered the frontline troops to change direction and first occupy the Gudejing area more than 30 kilometers southwest of Rubait, and then consider attacking after establishing a firm foothold.
Gudjing is located on a hill with an altitude of more than 800 meters. It is the source of the Haolan Wadi and the Eisna Wadi, two Gobi rivers in the south and the north. It is the intersection of a large number of underground rivers far and near. There are many
Spring water gushes out from the artesian well and is the most famous water source in this area.
After occupying Gudejing, at least the water supply is temporarily guaranteed. The fighter planes that can be entered can be captured and moved north to join the assault troops on the northern front. The retreat can be entrenched and attract Anjiajun troops to the southern front in a steady stream, creating conditions for a decisive battle on the northern front. At the same time,
Gudjing is not far from the western and southern borders, so you can retreat calmly if the war situation goes against you.
Quickly enter this site
After the order was conveyed to all armies, Zalmut thought carefully and personally called General Hansheng, the commander of the 54th Army, asking him to speed up the advance and get closer to the 30th Army in front of the sudden attack, thus gathering the two armies.
With such strength, ordinary opponents have nothing to fear.
Marching in the desert is very hard. No matter whether it is hills or valleys, everything is yellow sand. Although the hard land can pass the convoy, as long as a strong wind blows, everything in the sky and on the ground will be gray. Although there are six troops on the southern front
The army was all equipped with troop transport trucks, but the strong wind blew sand and gravel everywhere, and the soldiers who sat in the trucks and slept in the wind all night had long since turned into clay figures.
The convoy rolled forward, climbing over one sand dune after another, but there was still endless yellow sand at the entrance, and it seemed that it would never end. As the sun rose, the temperature rose rapidly, and the soldiers had to take off their thick layers of sand.
Even though I was wearing clothes, I still felt the heat was unbearable.
Many trucks broke down due to their engines getting caught in the sand, and the soldiers had to get out of the trucks and walk, carrying sweaty 20-kilogram backpacks and five-liter plastic buckets for the arduous trek.
It didn't take long for these poor people to feel that their steps were heavy. The helmets hanging on their belts were extremely hot, steam was rising from their heads, and sweat was flowing all over their bodies. Soldiers kept falling down from heat stroke.
The ambulance was quickly filled with fainting soldiers, and the team's march was unknowingly being slowed down.
More than 20 kilometers west of Gudejing is a concave hilly area with a height difference of about 200 meters, forming a huge fault from west to east. Except for a road in the middle that leads directly to Gudejing, the mountains on both sides are nearly 60 to 70 degrees.
With such a slope, the German mechanized troops simply could not
If you want to go around, you have to pass through the Rutbai area. However, from east to west, you can follow the shallow slope of more than ten degrees straight to the top of the fault. Building artillery positions on it can threaten the canyon and the flat land several kilometers ahead.
One has to marvel at the uncanny craftsmanship of nature.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Colonel Jiang Yufeng, commander of the 51st Division of the Anjia Army, was sitting in a communications and command vehicle parked halfway up the southern mountain range, anxiously waiting for the arrival of the German troops. Four hours ago, after the Air Force confirmed the direction of the German troops' march,
, he was ordered to lead three regiments of troops to set up an ambush here. After all the preparations were completed, an hour had passed. Being in the hot Gobi area, it felt like the days were like a year.
"Report, the German army has arrived five kilometers due west, and the headquarters wants us to delay the enemy's advance with the cooperation of the air force."
Jiang Yufeng was relieved by the communications staff officer's report and immediately ordered the troops to enter a state of combat readiness.
Half an hour later, on the road between two mountains, a long steel queue slowly drove from west to east. Marching at the front of the queue were more than ten three-wheeled motorcycles, followed closely by four
There are light yellow armored vehicles and more than 30 German tanks, and behind them is a huge transport convoy as far as the eye can see.
This German army marched very cautiously, stopping and moving.
The officers and soldiers on the motorcycles would always stop after running for a while. The German soldiers sitting on the back seats of the motorcycles would jump off the vehicles, quickly climb to the high ground on both sides of the road, and use binoculars to carefully observe the surroundings.
If you feel there is no problem, you can return to the car and continue moving forward. The machine guns in the auxiliary compartment of the motorcycle are consistently aimed at the ridges on both sides.
Except for yellow, the sky and the earth are still yellow, making people feel that the heaven and earth are frozen. The Anjiajun ambush officers and soldiers and self-propelled artillery vehicles are all covered with camouflage cloth, blending in with the surrounding scenery. The German scouts who are extremely tired are looking hastily.
Passed by, not even interested in taking another look, so they returned to the car and the whole team moved forward again.
"boom--"
When less than half of the huge German convoy entered the valley, a deafening explosion came from the front of the communication command vehicle where Jiang Yufeng was located.
Following the sound of the artillery, the sound of intensive rocket launches rang out. Amidst the "swish" sound, the rocket artillery troops of the Anjia Army ambushing on the high ground on both sides of the mountain ridge suddenly launched an attack. The dense rain of bullets rushed into the mountains below like a waterfall.
A series of explosions occurred in the long dragon.
In order to achieve a surprise victory, the Army Headquarters dispatched six of the nine rocket launcher battalions directly under the 51st Division to the 51st Division. Coupled with the firepower of the rocket launcher battalion of the division artillery regiment, more than two thousand 130mm rounds were fired almost instantly.
and 107mm rocket shells fell on the unprepared German troops.
Like torrential rain pouring down from the Milky Way, fires burst out everywhere in front and behind the German troops. The rising flames were like boiling lava that jumped out of the earth after a landslide, flowing everywhere on the trembling earth.
Most of the German officers and soldiers sitting in the truck were turned into powder the moment they were shelled. A few of them jumped out of the truck by chance and relied on the mountain wall to avoid the devastating shelling.
Most of the tanks in the column could not escape their fate, but only a few survived. They turned around in panic and retreated to the rear.
The German army was in chaos. The bazooka officers and soldiers who were ambushing on the mountains on both sides opened fire. At the same time, intensive shooting sounded. General machine guns, automatic rifles and sniper rifles fired together. The German soldiers who had narrowly escaped the bazooka attack were killed by Anjiajun.
The intensive firepower quickly knocked them to the ground, and the tanks were turned into coffins of fire in the rain of rockets from above.
Since Tiger tanks are very prone to problems when traveling long distances, most of the German troops on the southern front dispatched light and medium tanks this time. These tanks were very powerless in the face of the Anjiajun III 40mm rocket launchers. If they wanted to fight back, the firing angle would
The problem is that the opponent cannot be attacked, which creates a situation where he can only be beaten passively.
As the German tanks were destroyed one by one by burst fire, the loud charge horn sounded, and the overwhelming shouts of killing came from the mountains on both sides. The Anjia army officers and soldiers launched an assault. The remaining German troops were finally defeated across the entire line under the Anjia army's thunderous attack.
It collapsed, and except for a small number of remnants who escaped from the western pass, about three to four thousand people were buried in this valley.
At this time, the rear of the German army was not peaceful either. About four squadrons of bombers, covered by a squadron of fighter jets, arrived and aimed at the chaotic convoys and crowds of the German army, bombing them indiscriminately.
Originally, the German self-propelled artillery trucks were looking for terrain that could suppress the hilltop on the opposite side, and the towed cannons had just been put down from the trucks. The artillerymen were busy deploying artillery positions. The sudden arrival of this wave of bombers immediately disrupted the situation.
the German plan.
As the aerial bombs fell one after another, the German self-propelled artillery vehicles and artillery were severely damaged, dense explosions sounded one after another, and the German army became increasingly chaotic.
Colonel Xiang Shuang, the captain of the flight group who led the team to cover the bomber attack, and her wingman Second Lieutenant Yang Caiqi were very bored. After circling in the air for a few times, Xiang Shuang discovered that some trucks in the German army were covered with special yellow cloth and had arc-shaped carriages.
It was glaring. When she flew the fighter plane over the other trucks at low altitude, the German soldiers in the carriages all jumped out in fear. However, those trucks with arc-shaped carriages just kept driving to evade, and no one jumped down at all.
.
Xiang Shuang's heart moved and he said to his wingman: "Colored Flag, you target the vehicles that are driving to avoid them and see what they are carrying."
"yes!"
Yang Caiqi agreed and was not afraid of the rain of bullets fired from the anti-aircraft positions that the Germans on the ground were gradually organizing. He swooped towards one of the trucks and fired a string of bullets at an altitude of more than 200 meters. He only heard a "boom"
There was a loud noise, and the entire truck quickly turned into a ball of fire. The rising flames shot up to a height of thirty to forty meters. The flames splashed by the explosion quickly ignited several surrounding trucks that could not escape.
"Well done, it turned out to be a German tank truck!"
Xiang Shuang praised loudly, then changed the call channel and issued an order to the fighter pilots of the entire squadron: "All attention, specifically target those trucks with arc-shaped carriages. As long as the German fuel trucks are destroyed, once the enemy
If the vehicle runs out of fuel, the entire army will have to lie down!"
As a result, the German army suddenly became extremely lively. Bombers aimed at the artillery, self-propelled artillery vehicles and the crowds of people, throwing bombs wildly, while the fighter jets used their cannons and aircraft machine guns to attack oil tanks that were nearby.
The truck launched an attack, but of course there were many escaping trucks that did not explode because they were water trucks modified by the German army. Their appearance was not much different from that of an oil tanker, which helped the oil tanker attract a lot of firepower.
However, in the desert, water is more important than oil. As each jar was broken, the clear water gurgled to the ground, and soon evaporated on the dry and hot ground.
The air attack lasted for more than 20 minutes before it ended. With the subsequent reinforcements of the 72nd Division, the German army finally organized the air defense positions. Various types of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns began to shoot into the air, but Anjia, who was only responsible for the harassment mission,
The military and air force retreated as soon as they saw the situation was good. Under Xiang Shuang's order, they withdrew from the battlefield and disappeared into the northeastern sky.
Lieutenant General Wolf, commander of the German 22nd Infantry Division, was shocked and angry, not only because of the huge losses suffered by his troops, but also because he suddenly discovered that at this time, he had lost communication with the troops in the rear. The division headquarters and the following regiments and battalions
The equipped radio stations all emitted sharp current noise, and all frequencies were paralyzed.
