Imperial Overlord

Guderian attacked, and when Manstein's attack had just begun, he ordered his troops to end the self-hypnotic frontal reconnaissance and start a fierce attack with real swords and guns.

By the time the reconnaissance of the German armored forces began, the Germans had already occupied Gusino. Capturing this bridgehead allowed the German armored forces to quickly approach Gniezdovo.

The Germans on the front do not intend to waste any more time. They have stopped attacking for 2 days, and in the process of waiting, they have already received more supplies.

The current German frontal troops have more artillery to keep up, which is enough to deal with the simple defense line of the Soviet army in front of them.

The one-day rest period of the short station allowed Germany to replenish a lot of weapons, ammunition and equipment to the front line. The German transport forces contributed to this.

The materials that were risked to hoard in the previous Polish border areas have been forcibly transported to the front line. The German armored forces were given fuel and supplies, giving the Guderian group the impetus for a new attack.

This time, Wittmann finally had a chance to catch up with Karjus's leading record, because Karjus's 505th armored battalion has now been transferred to the rear for replenishment.

The transportation of fuel and ammunition has already made the German transport troops feel difficult. Therefore, the replenishment of equipment is relatively slow, and Karjus can only patiently wait for his tank to arrive at the back.

The rest of the battle now depends on Wittmann, the tank ace, performing alone. Now Wittmann is on his tank, watching the quiet Soviet positions in the distance.

After all, the main attack direction of the German army at this moment is the direction of Vitebsk, where Manstein is located, so the air support they get is relatively weak.

Even so, the advancing speed of the German armored forces is still very terrifying. The German armored forces broke through the original Soviet defense line in one breath and extended the battle to the wetland area behind the position.

The time has come to the end of April, and it is almost the beginning of May. At this point, the muddy season in the Soviet Union was coming to an end, and the prime time for German armored forces to advance was approaching.

With the dry weather between May and October, the hardened Soviet roads could provide better transport conditions, and the prime time for the German offensive was approaching.

The main reason why the speed of the German attack was not too amazing before was because of the limited road conditions for transporting supplies.

After all, the weight of the Leopard tank is actually quite large. Relying on railway transportation to the front line actually requires a lot of transportation capacity.

At this time, it is necessary to transport a large number of tanks to the front line, which is a test of the very scarce railway system in the Soviet Union.

In fact, the results of the German front-line troops have been very large. They advanced in the early stage and captured countless trains of the Soviet army transporting supplies and equipment to the front line.

The front of the locomotive also has a carriage that meets the specifications of the Soviet railway, which is the key to the rapid restoration of railway traffic in the Soviet Union. The German troops did their extra duty well, capturing as much railroad resources as possible.

Before the war began, the German Army was worried about its own logistical supplies, because of the seasons and because of the poor railway conditions in the Soviet Union, which had been confirmed by German intelligence.

It can be said that a series of German victories were actually based on a rather elusive hope: they could quickly restore the transportation system in the Soviet Union and transport enough resources to the front.

On this basis, it was possible for the German armored forces to capture Moscow in 1941, possibly ending the war.

Although the idea is very vague, the German soldiers overdid the task. They took as many trains as they could, including precious and expensive locomotives.

With these trains, coupled with the tireless efforts of the German sappers, the railway was restored very quickly, meeting the offensive needs of the German front-line troops.

In this case, Guderian, who had the offensive materials, was naturally reckless: at the beginning of his violent attack, he hit a textbook-like firepower suppression.

Germany first used the firepower of capable reconnaissance troops to detect the composition of the Soviet positions, and then used organ rockets to start washing the ground one after another.

A round of precise firing of the howitzer hidden in the process of washing the ground with the rocket launcher killed more than 60% of the Soviet Union's firepower.

Immediately afterward, before the Soviet troops could come up for reinforcements, the German panzers began to cover the infantry and began a new round of terrifying rapid advance.

The Soviet position was far less solid than the defense line near Kursk in real history, and it only lasted for less than an hour before the entire line of defense was broken through.

"The organ rocket is really useful... It looks like a destructive momentum." Putting down the telescope, Guderian said to his chief of staff with a smile.

The chief of staff shrugged his shoulders, and his expression looked very relaxed: "Yes, but there is only momentum left. There is a problem with the accuracy of that thing, and the Führer is not willing to improve the accuracy of that thing."

Now the German military products do not unilaterally pursue a certain performance. After making compromises, their balanced advantages are also reflected.

For example, rockets, Germany, which has accumulated technology in rockets, can design better rockets.

However, after balancing the cost and output, the German rockets took the Soviet route of cheap mass production~www.wuxiaspot.com~ rather than the sophisticated German route.

Such a choice gave the frontline the possibility of having more ammunition, but it was criticized by many commanders on the frontline. Because no one wants to use a mediocre weapon, everyone wants better equipment.

For example, if the soldiers are to choose, everyone is willing to use a tank like the Tiger tank, but this is not an era when soldiers choose weapons at will.

"The Führer has his own considerations, which cannot be blamed on the Führer's preferences." Guderian is surrounded by a Führer, but he likes the Führer's "genius" in tank design very much.

At least the Führer's choice has brought thousands of tanks to the front line. It is not an easy task to rely on the original development plan to want so many tanks.

"Maybe... But I still hope that the weapons in the hands of the soldiers can be of higher performance..." The chief of staff shrugged and insisted on his own opinion.

Guderian didn't say much, but turned his attention to the officer who had just walked in from the door. The officer brought good news: "General, our army has cut into the rear of the enemy's position!" 8)
