A German armored vehicle was slowly advancing in the field. The captain of the turret leaning on the hatch was watching the movement in the distance with a telescope. In fact, the German G Army had collided with the Soviet army going south, but they did not immediately attack each other.

So the investigation force of the German armored forces began to move frequently. They had to figure out for their troops how many enemies were in front of them, what the designation was, whether they were from tanks or pure infantry. Or to put it another way: look at the opposite side to find something, or to die.

Of course, the method by which the German reconnaissance forces judge the strength of the opponent is also very simple. They will attack once, and then use the result of this attack to intuitively reflect the strength of the opponent: if they lose, the opponent will be more ruthless. Dishes-simple and clear.

This German sd. kfz. The Type 222 armored vehicle is a four-wheeled small armored vehicle, which is not very influential equipment in the reconnaissance force. The real main force will generally find a way to equip its troops with six rounds of SD. kfz. Type 231, both in terms of maneuverability and space in the car, must be much superior.

But sd. kfz. The 222 armored vehicle also has many advantages. For example, the production link is relatively "material-saving", so large-scale production, equipped with ≧, is reserved for temporary expansion of armored forces and infantry division reconnaissance battalions. In addition, in order to save costs and ease of production, the German armored vehicles have canceled many angular designs and replaced them directly with vertical welded steel plates.

"No Soviet armored forces were found. I suspect that the forest in front is where they are stationed." The captain put down his telescope and used radio to contact the reconnaissance company behind: "If necessary, I can provide some Support, launch a small attack nearby to test your opponent. "

The headphone in the headset seemed a bit scorched, and the sound even changed slightly: "Be careful about your position! The car No. 4 was ambushed by the Soviets about a kilometer from your left wing, and the other party is not a rookie!"

The captain was stunned. When he came out, the battalion had already emphasized the enemy's strength when arranging missions, so most of the reconnaissance troops, including himself, maintained a very careful state. But there were still vehicles killed by the other party, which made him more cautious.

"Reverse! Our position is too far ahead, which is not a good sign. Turn around while reversing, paying attention to the surrounding conditions." After cutting off communication with the company, the captain quickly issued an order to retreat. It ’s one thing to be brave and brave, but it ’s another thing to go to death in a silly way. In this case, there is no need to take risks. This is something he has thought clearly in his mind.

Just when his armored vehicle started and just backed a few meters away, a cannonball obviously flew towards them, but because of the problem of the head, the shell hit a dozen meters away from where they had just stopped. On the ground, a black mud was raised.

"God! We have been attacked! We have been attacked! The other party has a high-speed anti-tank gun! Reversing! Reversing!" The captain hadn't had time to retract the turret of the armored car, and the mud raised by the shells splashed all over his head. . As he patted the steel plate around the turret of his armored car, he shouted a command to retreat loudly.

So under his supervision, or under the threat of the opposing shells, the armored vehicle reversed quickly and retreated into the dense grass. Soon the second artillery shell arrived as scheduled, hitting the paddy grass and setting off a piece of weeds and dirt. The black smoke blocked the armored vehicle's field of vision and seemed to block the other party's field of vision, so there were no more shells in the woods Flying out, the German armored vehicle quickly retreated from the other side of the weeds back to the bush near the road.

"Looking at the destructive power of the shells is not the Soviet 45mm caliber artillery, so it is not easy to deal with the t-26 tank ... not the 76mm artillery of the t-34 tank, it is the monster called Stalin." The captain wiped The cold sweat oozing from his forehead spoke to his driver with a trembling voice.

"Oh my god, they just clicked on us." The driver also said with some fear: "Don't be stunned, what shall we do next? When crossing the road, they will not continue to fire?"

Just when the two of them discussed how to run, a t-34 tank broke a small tree and killed it aggressively from the already slightly green forest. Following this tank is another T-34 tank, and then next to them, another T-34 tank also rushed out of the woods.

"My God, I don't say there is a battalion tank, this is definitely the main force of the Soviet Union!" The captain saw these steel monsters rushing out of the woods without using a telescope. After he exclaimed, he quickly continued to order: "Hurry over the road and return to the company as quickly as possible."

After speaking, he was in the shaking armored vehicle, grabbed the radio microphone, and reported loudly: "The location of the No. 2 armored reconnaissance vehicle has at least one battalion of enemy armored forces, the main force is the T-34 tank, It is not excluded that there is a Stalin tank, we are retreating! We are retreating! "

"Received! The position of car 1 and car 4 are similar. The other party has at least one armored division. I have reported to the battalion. Now I will get rid of the enemy and retreat to my position." Inside the headset, even The long side also found the huge Soviet offensive force, anxiously ordered.

In the face of the superior Soviet tanks, the German reconnaissance squadron, which had been faced with several times that the enemy would not easily retreat, had to choose to retreat. The news was almost the same everywhere, that is, the Soviet armored forces began a large-scale offensive from the southern region of Kursk, and the target was the German town of Gubkin and the old Oskor in the northern town of Belgorod.

Once the Soviet army broke through a small amount of German garrison forces, it would directly face the Italian and Romanian forces behind it. It seems that at least in the nearby reconnaissance operations, the Soviets found the weakness of the German army and planned to find it from here. The opportunity to break through the German defense line.

"Yes! Just now, the ground reconnaissance team discovered a new armored division of the Soviet Union, and they are heading south." The chief of staff dropped his phone and looked at the busy Guderian: "My Excellency General, our army The line of defense is too long. In this case, we cannot organize forces to fight back against the Soviet army. "

Guderian shook his head and said helplessly to his subordinates: "Our purpose of going north is to confess that it is not to encircle Moscow. It was just a slogan shouted to the outside world, in fact it was not the case."

He pointed to the German central theater forces on the front of the Soviet Union, and then looked at his staff: "If you want to attack Moscow, is n’t it more time-saving to launch an attack from the nearest Smolensk? Why do you want to detour from such a far away place? What about copying? "

"I see, the roundabout outs are just all offensive plans that have been successfully piggybacked. In fact, our main task is to buy time for the m and n group armies, right?" The chief of staff clearly understood what Guderian meant, so Replied immediately.

Guderian nodded and then swiped his hand on the generous front of his group army: "We are covering the flanks of the southern cluster, and now we are only doing our most important tasks. Be prepared, like General Liszt ’s Like the e-group army, fight to the last moment. "

"So? We have to be at the forefront now, and we have to insist that General D's Army drew up close to complete the mission?" The chief of staff laughed bitterly: "The tanks we have accumulated so much for so many years ,Would not it be……"

"Is there any way? It's not consumed here in the field with the Soviet armored forces, can it be consumed in the ruins of Stalingrad?" Guderian seemed very bachelorette: "Since the beginning, we are for field armor The cluster battle is ready, then this battle is the final chapter of our g army. "

"Let the third armored division continue to move west, it is best to rush to deploy its own defensive positions before the troops officially exchange fire." After feeling good, Guderian began to arrange his task: "Two light infantry divisions on the front line can The line of defense has shrunk, and let the Italians help us try the depth of these Soviets first. "

"Yes! General!" The Chief of Staff apparently did not oppose the plan for the Italians to strike forward. He was worried about the logistics of his troops and the Romanian fire support: "Although we have strengthened an infantry division to the west side these days, But the strength there is still too thin. "

Guderian looked at the long west protrusion of his troops on the map and reluctantly replied: "What can I do? I can only take one step at a time. If it is not possible, I can only find the air force. Paratroopers are needed. Once the Soviets are recaptured in Belgorod, our logistics supply line is further away, and the advantage is on the Soviet side. "

In modern warfare, resources and consumption are fought. The German supply bases are far away in Ukraine and Poland, while the Soviet supply line is more than half that of Germany. Therefore, the Germans can no longer surrender their own supply lines, so that the battle does not need to continue.

"In order to compete for resources, this war was too suffocating." The chief of staff complained: "We went all the way south from Kharkov, then went all the way north, and now we are moving westward-this is just a circle! "

"Even if it goes around ten circles, as long as the war can be won, we are willing to go around!" Guderian said firmly.
