In the southwest of the Zhengdong Defense Line, the Germans sent the first armored division of the fourth armored cluster to the fourth armor cluster as the assault arrow .//"" "" "" Advertising full text txt download
After repeated strengthening, the number of tanks owned by the first armored division was equipped with only 145 vehicles before the outbreak of the Soviet Union.
Motorcycles have more than 1,000 vehicles, and more than 500 cannons and mortars.
In order to show the enemy's weakness, Yin Jinan personally ordered the first tank group under the first tank division of the First Tank Group Army.
Withdraw, slowly guide the German's main force to the south, so that the fists that are concentrated together slowly separate, so that each can be broken.
The second -line blocking position in the south has a Gobi area consisting of weathered rocks. These weathered rocks stand like bamboo shoots. Each covers an area of more than ten square meters to nearly 100 square meters.
On the shallow slope of the ten degrees, the shape is strange, and it is a big view.
Below the shallow slope, a few five -meter -wide and four -meter -wide anti -tank troops are built, and on the slow slope, there are scattered soldiers. The two armored infantry camps under the first tank regiment are deployed here.
The top of the slope is a gun battalion and air defense camp as an anti -tank firepower.
Next to the weathered rock, more than 100 tanks of the body flour brushed yellow brown camouflage coatings, the three tank battalions that are ready to post. These tanks are perfectly integrated with the surrounding weather.
Knowing that it is a tank, but only the foundation stone of the weathered rock.
"Each battalion, pay attention to the heads, be sinking, and wait for the German tanks to put it closer again. This time we will give the Germans a good blood!"
In a closed and crowded space inside the tank that is somewhat different from other leopard II tanks, the voice of the team leader Xun Yizhong was clearly passed to the ears of each officer and soldiers in the car.
The leopard II tank has been strengthened from the fourth generation after previously strengthened. This car where the Lieutenant Promise is the latest leopard IID tank.
Horse power, improved the turret, greatly increased the space in the turret. At the same time, a special turret rotation device was also installed. The turret rotated less than 10 seconds for a week and was equipped with a newly developed artillery vertical stable instrument, so that the tank could be in the tank in
During the march, aiming at the target to fire.
In front of this leopard IID tank as a command vehicle, there is a continuous roar. A German black and gray tank that has not had time to paint, with dense armored vehicles and motorcycles behind it, is divergent by diverging by a kind of divergence
The formal formation moved to the south, like a flowing river, rushing towards the position of the An family.
The tank battalions below, and the company's officers and soldiers have been treated strictly. Among them, the western section of the tank was responsible for.
"One row is long, the four tanks you row to deal with the heads of the front side of the left hand; the two rows are long, you deal with the pioneers in the middle of the middle; the three rows are long, your firepower is as much as possible to the right!
Above, we specifically picked up the fast -running leather tanks to fight to disrupt the opponent's fighting formation; after the enemy entered 500 meters, we would be a big guy! Our tank cannon is 105 mm, which is enough to knock on the knocking open
All opponents' turtle shells. "
The 105 mm 55-caliber tank gun equipped on the Anjiajun Leopard II tank is derived from the German 105 mm flak38l53 anti-aircraft gun casting technology. The projectile weighs 15 kg, the muzzle velocity is 905 meters/second, and it uses a tungsten core to penetrate
When an armor bomb is used, it can penetrate 210 mm of armor at a distance of 100 meters, and 150 mm of armored steel at a distance of two kilometers. That’s why Company Commander Yu has such heroic words. Read h-u- with me
nmix*h-u-n《》Please remember
Every Anjia Army tank officer and soldier tensed up his nerves, and his breathing became rapid involuntarily.
In front of the Anjia Army tank queue, the rumbling sound of tracks gradually approached, but these Leopard II tanks, which relied on weathered rocks to attack, were not in a hurry to start, just like frogs in the rice fields that were ready to pounce on pests, calmly
Waiting for the best time to attack.
The German tanks advanced rapidly. The Germans obviously did not pay attention to the infantry blocking the attack on the gentle slope ahead. Only a few tanks stopped and carried out medium and short-range artillery strikes. More tanks were on the way.
During rapid advancement, use the front part of the vehicle body to
Shooting at the machine gun and the coaxial machine gun on the front of the turret, a series of bullets hit the Anjia Army defensive position, splashing clouds of dust, and forcing the Anjia Army armored infantry defending the position to hide their helmets.
Under the skirmishers' trenches, waiting for the best opportunity to strike.
"boom--"
As the German tanks entered the 800-meter range, the Anjia Army tanks hidden on the side of the yellow-brown weathered rocks began to fire. The black muzzles suddenly spit out clouds of flames, and gray-white gunpowder smoke gradually rose.
A few seconds later, a tungsten core armor-piercing bullet accurately hit a No. 2 tank rushing in front of the queue, tearing through the 30 mm thick front armor of the No. 2 tank without any hindrance. Under the action of the delay fuse,
The shell detonated after entering the interior of the vehicle.
This unpainted black and gray tank was still moving forward rapidly due to inertia. At the moment of the explosion, a large ball of flames was sprayed from the gaps in the tank, and the turret hatch was hit by the strong airflow with a "bang" sound.
He was blown away from the tank, fell more than ten meters behind, and smashed the head of an infantryman of the National Defense Forces who had just jumped out of the armored vehicle to prepare for an assault. He screamed and fell to the ground.
"Boom boom——"
Dense artillery shells flew out from the weathered rocks of different shapes and flew accurately towards their respective targets. Although the German tanks were moving quickly, the cleverly camouflaged Leopard II tanks had already been aiming for a long time and were ahead of the German tanks.
The gun control was very good, and nearly half of the Leopard II tank main gunners successfully hit the rolling German tanks.
In the dusty wilderness, the scene of the tank being hit was spectacular.
Some of the shells directly penetrated the turret armor of the German tank, detonating the spare shells placed inside, and then causing the explosion of the ammunition depot. The violent explosion was ten times more powerful than the intruder, and immediately destroyed the tank body.
The crew inside were devoured together. The dull sound of explosions came one after another, constantly impacting the outer wall of the tank. In the end, the tank fell apart like collapsed building blocks, leaving only the bare tank base.
After a round of shelling, without waiting for the German tanks behind to react, the Anjiajun tank group rushed to launch a second round of shooting again. Although the accuracy of the shells dropped slightly this time, the results were achieved despite the large number of targets.
Still staggering - once again more than 20 German tanks stopped or exploded and burned.
Backed by the Anjiajun tank, the tank cluster that the German army was proud of lost more than 70 vehicles in just one minute. In the history of the first armor division, there was never before.
Immediately after the German tank, some recklessly bumped into the wreckage of robe, who had completely lost its combat ability, but exposed himself to the mouth of the opponent, but more German tanks came
A emergency brake, adjusted the artillery mouth slightly, then opened the fire towards those flashing fires, and the position of the smoke was launched.
The cannonball screamed through the battlefield of about one kilometer. Most of the shells misused the auxiliary cars and chisen out the huge weathering rocks one by one.
In the direct shooting of the shells, it collapsed suddenly. If the huge rock was removed by a fixed -point blasting building, in the rolling smoke, a lot of sand was so bombarded on the gentle slope.
There are also Leopard II tanks being hit by the German artillery, but due to the interval between each other, the thick front armor bounces these decreased artillery shells, or falls into the deep white chisel marks, huge explosions.
The armor fry potholes, but it does not affect the driving of the tank at all.
With the roar of the engine sounded, a yellow -brown tank in the smoke and dust, quickly moved between weathered rocks. After a few meters or more than ten meters, these tanks quickly stopped, turrets and guns.
The mouth was adjusted slightly. After a while, the entire tank suddenly trembled with the retreat of the artillery body.
The combat was extremely fierce, and the number of Anjia Army Tank forces, who was disadvantaged, still maintained a high accuracy in the third round. It once again exploded more than 20 tanks that wounded the Germans, so that the German commanders wanted to cry without tears.
However, with the fading effect of the ambush, the German commander has clearly identified the color and shape of the Anjiajun tank, and the hit rate of the German tank has also begun to improve significantly.
In the case of using armor -piercing bullets, the 88mm KWK36L/56 tank gun equipped by the German tiger and leopard tank equipment can break the 138 mm armor at a distance of 1000 meters, and the hit accuracy is as high as 99 %.
The II tank constitutes a great threat.
It was almost a short time. The tank group that was attacked has lost six leopard II tanks, and three other turrets were injured, but fortunately, it did not affect the action.
The Anjiajun tank group who implemented a mobile defense quickly retreated. At the same time, the Anjiajun armored infantry with the Satalum Pit as the position, then a limited resistance with the rocket launcher in their hands.
At the time, the armored infantry covered the tank soldiers climbing out of the shabby tank, and quickly retreated to the back.
The German workers who attacked with the tank quickly rushed out of the armored vehicle. In just a minute, a few shallow slopes that could be available for tanks.
The German tanks began to line up, and the fish drove into the tank tank tank. After the bottom of the slope, it climbed up again. When the first few cautiously appeared on the ground floor, the Anjia Jun Leopard II tank in the units of the unit was once again again.
The top of the slope appeared. Aiming at the turret of the German tank, "bombardment" was a few guns, and seven or eight German tanks were destroyed instantly.
The German tanks on the other side, who were preparing to cross the anti-tank ditch, quickly spread out and aimed at the top of the slope to start fighting back. However, at this time, the Anjiajun tank that caused the accident quickly fled again. The retaliatory shelling of the German tanks hit those holes-riddled tanks.
On the weathered rocks, it was just in vain to leave deep craters on the surface of huge rocks. Occasionally, the rocks collapsed, and the Anjiajun tanks hiding behind them quickly moved behind another rock, which was helpless!
The angry German commander, while letting tanks alternately cover the crossing of the anti-tank trenches, called on the artillery units already in place to carry out long-range artillery reinforcements.
Only a quarter of an hour later, the 150mm and 100mm K18 heavy artillery of the artillery regiment directly under the German First Tank Division began to cover the entire frontal position. Amidst the continuous bursts of flames and thick smoke, rock fragments were shot everywhere, and many weathered rocks were
It collapsed suddenly, and thick smoke and dust gathered into a huge mushroom cloud that shot straight into the sky.
The intensive artillery strikes lasted for nearly an hour before gradually stopping. At this time, the German tank troops, as well as the subsequent armored vehicles and a large number of infantry, had crossed three anti-tank trenches and began to attack on the gentle slope. At this time, the blocking mission was successfully completed.
The tank regiment is already five kilometers away to the south.
...
There are similar fierce battle scenes everywhere on all fronts from north to south.
Finally, the 19th Division, which was guarding the second line of defense in the east, withstood the Germans' continuous fierce attacks day and night, and retreated to the third front 40 kilometers away at midnight the next day.
At this time, the 1st Armored Division and the 6th Armored Division in the southeast had penetrated more than 40 kilometers in depth. Marshal Blomberg, who was designated by Hitler as the commander-in-chief of this battle, was very determined and immediately began to divide the troops according to the predetermined plan:
General Ruf led the Fourth Army and the 52nd Army of the 17th Army to attack the line from Sinjar, Tel Afar to Mosul in the northwest, to contain and block the reinforcement route of the Anjia Army heading south.
;
General Holt led the 56th Motorized Corps of the 4th Armored Group, the 46th Armored Corps of the Second Army, the 257th Infantry Division of the 44th Army, and the 100th Light Division, and continued to move eastward.
Attack Qiyara on the Tigris River to Sherghat, cutting off the railways and roads between Mosul and Baghdad in one fell swoop, and cutting off water transportation on the Tigris River.
The south, which is the main attack, is divided into three main attack directions. The southeast is commanded by General Ewald von Kleist and has jurisdiction over the Third Motorized Corps and the Fourteenth Motorized Corps of the First Armored Group.
The 48th Motorized Corps and the 44th Corps of the Sixth Group Army,
The 55th Army marched towards Baiji, Tikrit and Samarra City. When the Anjia Army attracted all attention to Baghdad and organized troops for defense, the army suddenly turned southwest and captured Rama.
Di, completely blocking the Anjia Army combat cluster on the western front.
Directly south of the southern line, General Paulus, the former commander of the Sixth Army, led the army's Seventeenth Army, the Twenty-ninth Army, and the Second Army's Fifty-first Army to attack.
The rapid breakthrough of Gadisiya Lake attracted the attention of Qaim's front-line Anjia army, and concentrated all mobile troops on the frontal defense line to block Paulus' southward movement, which facilitated the smooth implementation of the strategic detour goal of the largest Kleist cluster.
.
In the southwest, General Weikes led the 52nd Army to conduct a feint attack along the border, involving the strength of the Anjia Army. If the battle situation was unfavorable, this army could move closer to General Paulus in the center.
As the commander-in-chief of the entire campaign, Marshal Bloomberg led the troops from the Caucasus cluster to the south. The Ninth Army, which made great achievements in the First Battle of Moscow, was stationed in the center to support other battlefields at any time.
...
At four o'clock in the afternoon on the 15th, after a day and night of fighting, the East Road Group led by General Huote once again broke through the third line of defense operated by the 22nd Division of the Eighth Group Army of Anjiajun Sun Desheng, and successfully advanced the front
Go to the banks of the Selsar River and capture the city of Hader and the nearby ruins of the ancient castle of Hatra.
In the southeast and south of the southern front, the Kleist Combat Group and the Paulus Combat Group both made breakthroughs. The depth and width of the battlefield were once again expanded. The German army maintained an optimistic mood from top to bottom, as if it was again
Going back to the scene in the early stages of the attack on the Soviet Union in the summer of 1940, huge encirclements were about to be completed under the heroic assault of the Imperial Army.
At this time, no one noticed that the German air force has never occupied air superiority as the battle continues. Almost all breakthroughs were made by the army alone. Moreover, in the continuous fighting until now, the German army has lost many people in many breakthroughs.
There are more than 800 tanks, and almost one-tenth of them are gone.
At 8 o'clock in the morning on the 16th, after handing over the defense area to the Fifth Army of the Ninth Group Army, which took over the defense, Hott led his troops across the Selsal River and marched towards Gaiyala and Hadraniya. This section of the journey
A total of more than 70 kilometers, along the way they were constantly attacked by scattered troops of the Anjia Army. The German army was extremely annoyed, but this strengthened Huot's judgment that the Anjia Army was in chaos.
At three o'clock in the afternoon on the 18th, the 46th Armored Corps successfully arrived more than ten kilometers west of the Tigris River. Here, the German army encountered the strongest defense. At the same time, the German army's biggest defeat since the outbreak of World War II began.
