Arc of Gunfire

Wang Zhong's radio just called the advancing 225th Division armored forces.

As soon as he cut over, he saw the T34 tank chasing the Plosson's PAK38 anti-tank gun. The Plosson soldiers, who might be gunners, were running away and were caught up by the tank's machine gun.

Wang Zhong watched the tanks crush the enemy and suddenly realized that the Plosson's anti-tank capabilities were not very good. After all, they had not yet equipped the Iron Fist and magnetic grenades, and this infantry division did not even seem to have the PAK40.

It is estimated that the PAK40 was given priority to the armored grenadier division, and the infantry division still had backward things like the PAK38, and there was nothing they could do with the T34.

Wang Zhong watched his tank troops rush through the Plosson's position, and then seven big men jumped out of the accompanying M3 Grant Lee tank, swept away the panicked Plosson people, and then jumped on the tank to catch up with the tank troops in front.

It has a bit of the flavor of modern infantry fighting.

Unfortunately, the M3 is not efficient enough against infantry. The Bofors 40mm gun should be placed on the head of the infantry fighting vehicle. The 40mm gun can kill infantry and occasionally do part-time air defense, as the accompanying air defense of the tank troops.

When Wang Zhong was thinking about this, the communication with the armored troops ended. Wang Zhong took a last look at the advancing troops, especially admiring the Prosen people who lacked anti-tank means and ran away with their heads in their hands.

Great.

The picture disappeared.

Then the Guards 1st Mechanized Infantry was lit again. Wang Zhong hurriedly cut over and saw the assault vanguard of the Guards 1st Mechanized Infantry passing by the destroyed 88mm gun.

These 88mm anti-aircraft guns seemed to be arranged together with the 105mm and 150mm howitzers of the artillery regiment. It is estimated that the anti-aircraft regiment was covering the artillery regiment.

In addition, looking at the landing point of the explosives, Wang Zhong felt that this should not be fired by his own howitzers, but a masterpiece of the air force air strike.

No wonder the 190th Division did not bombard in the past few days. It turned out that the guns were all destroyed.

The air force did a good job!

Wang Zhong thought back, it seems that the Russian Air Force on Earth has never had such a high attack efficiency. Because during World War II, the average training level of the Russian Air Force was too low, and many of the attacks were very accurate.

This low training level is more obvious in the Il-2, which cannot dive at a large angle.

Now Wang Zhong has equipped the elite pilots of the Ante Air Force with the most suitable aircraft at this stage, and it is normal that the attack efficiency has been greatly improved.

At this time, the communication with the Guards 1st Mechanized Infantry Tank Battalion was also over. Wang Zhong finally took a look at the wreckage of the cannon left behind by the troops, and ended the overlooking with satisfaction.

The troops are progressing smoothly, and they should be able to smoothly insert into place today.

According to aerial reconnaissance, the front of the First Mobile Army is all infantry, and no matter how strong the offensive ability of the Proson infantry is, it is just an infantry unit.

It is indeed a bit unreasonable to use infantry to attack in an open field.

In other words, as long as the enemy's neck is stuck, Wang Zhong will eat this delicious snack of the 190th Division.

"It's bad!" Admiral Polk stared at the two new lines on the map. They were the enemy attack forces discovered by aerial reconnaissance. "This is a pincer attack! The enemy's goal is not to break through our position, but to eat up our 190th Division on the front line!"

Breaking through the position means that after the attack pincers pass through the 190th Division's defense zone, they will continue to attack the next division's defense zone.

And the pincer attack only needs to encircle the 190th Division in front.

Admiral Bock cursed: "I was misled by the map exercise with the emperor! Rokossov doesn't want to make a central breakthrough at all, he just wants to eat us bite by bite! And he is not picky! He eats infantry divisions too!"

Chief of Staff: "What should we do now?"

Admiral Bock thought for a while and said: "Recall an armored division to counter the assault and open up contact with the 190th Division."

The Chief of Staff shook his head: "No, the armored forces don't have enough fuel. The transportation of the station in Shepetovka was blocked by the enemy's air raid, and now part of it was burned by the enemy cavalry, and the rest was not delivered to the armored forces in time.

"The armored forces have been advancing for many days before, and it's time to resupply."

Admiral Bock stared at the Chief of Staff: "No fuel at all?"

"Yes, but there is not much left when we drive back."

Admiral Bock: "What about driving back and resupplying?"

The Chief of Staff had a serious expression: "Our supply plan is to postpone the overall supply. All the military stations in the army group control area are short of fuel. The enemy's cavalry and air force have also raised so much fuel that we are running out of fuel for the trucks. "

Admiral Bock walked back and forth in the tent, cursing. After a few steps, he stopped and buttoned his collar. After buttoning for a long time, he threw a louse and a large piece of skin on the ground and stepped on it to death: "Damn it! This damn grass, damn Ant people, damn Rokosov!"

Chief of Staff: "We can deal with each one individually, but it will be difficult to deal with them together."

Admiral Bock walked back and forth in the tent for several circles and sighed: "Request airdrop supplies from the Air Force, especially fuel supplies, at least let our armored forces move and smash the enemy hard."

At this time, the chief of staff reminded with a serious face: "The enemy has a new type of assault gun. According to the report of the armored soldiers of the Sede Division who escaped back, the assault gun can perfectly hide itself in the grass, launch an ambush, and penetrate our armor from a long distance. "

Admiral Poke clenched his fist, then slowly loosened it, saying: "Smoke bombs can allow our warriors to shorten the distance with the enemy and engage in close combat with assault guns. When the enemy's praying hands were not completely hit last year, we responded in this way, just continuing the old tactics of the past!

"Do we not even try to attack when we know that the enemy has new weapons? No, Plosson's soldiers are not such cowards, and Plosson's generals are not such cowards!"

Admiral Poke clenched his fist again: "Last year, we had no way to face T34 and KV, but didn't we win a brilliant victory in the end?"

The chief of staff thought about it and nodded vigorously: "I agree, we have to try it anyway, let the 14th Armored Division come back, if the airdrop is arranged quickly, the fuel will arrive when the armored division arrives tomorrow."

"Let's do it!" Admiral Poke slammed the table.

————

The commander of the 18th Cavalry Division of the 21st Cavalry Army looked at the smoke in the distance: "Did the enemy send out armored forces to encircle us? So much smoke? "

His chief of staff and the bishop who accompanied the army also stood up and observed the distance.

The chief of staff spoke first: "They didn't form an offensive formation, but more like they were on the road."

The division leaders looked at each other.

The division commander slapped his thigh and said: "Use the mines we captured! Put the fuse on and throw them on the ground, don't bury them. The grass is so high that the tanks can't see! Prepare the smoke bombs, and throw the smoke bombs immediately after the leading tank is stopped by the explosion, and then go up and kill the hell with Molotov cocktails!"
