Steel Soviet Union

An early morning raid marked the beginning of a new day. Whether the Germans liked it or not, the ensuing destruction and death must always be faced.

"Damn it! The Russians are coming, everyone go! Pick up your weapons, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"We need artillery fire, tanks, and any anti-armor weapon support! Immediately! The Russians have invested a large number of armored troops along the main road of Fridman. You can see countless tanks and armored vehicles through the telescope! Yes, heavy tanks! We Need support, quick!”

"Blocks 1 and 2 can no longer withstand it. The Russians have broken through the defenses! Shrink the defense line. We must regroup our troops! Execute a tactical retreat immediately, quickly!"

The German army did predict that today's Russians would not give up and would probably take action.

But the Germans really did not expect that the enemy's movement would be so loud and violent.

Early in the morning, before dawn, there was a sudden burst of hundreds of rockets, hitting his head and face. The entire street was smashed into a hole of smoke. Before they could take a breath from the torrential firepower, the rumbling Russian steel monsters were already rushing forward in droves.

As usual, I didn't even see a single Russian infantryman accompanying these big iron lumps. I saw those Russian tanks running at high speed, just like magic. After getting close enough, they spit out a sound. A large number of ferocious infantry armed to the point of chrysanthemum came out.

These heavily armed Russian soldiers got out of their cars and started to fight and shoot at anyone they saw. The weapons in their hands didn't even have a big bolt or semi-automatic device. The Russian guys at the front had everything in their hands. It's an automatic firearm.

The German soldiers who were shaken by the bombing and had not yet recovered their heads did not even have time to get out of the door of the building. The Russian soldiers who kicked in the door and rushed into the building washed their faces with a violent rain of bullets.

The vast majority of German soldiers who did not know why, what was going on, and what to do lost their lives in a confused manner in a burst of gunfire. His whole body was beaten with blood and he died violently on the spot. He fell to the ground with a burst of screams and turned into rotten blood and rotten flesh with only a few twitches left.

The German soldiers at the lower levels were beaten into confusion and had no idea what was going on. The German commanders at the upper levels, who understood the chaos through radios and telephones and witnessed this horrific scene with their own eyes through telescopes, were no better.

So fast and powerful, speed and power seem to have never been so perfectly integrated together, which is unexpected.

The Russians' unusual and abnormal style of play left people completely confused and unable to find a way to deal with it.

Everything happened unexpectedly and worsened rapidly without any countermeasures.

The existing troops alone cannot stop these violent Russians, let alone the enemy. Even stopping this visible chaos is beyond imagination and completely incapable of doing so.

There was no other way than calling for reinforcements, using every available and conceivable method.

But reinforcements are not interstellar jumps. The troops' reaction and tactical maneuvers require battlefield time.

Before the reinforcements arrive, which are of no use at all, all this nightmare can only be faced by these hapless and miserable German soldiers alone. How they will be beaten into pig heads depends entirely on their own destiny. .

"The forward troops reported that the attack went smoothly, comrade division commander."

"The two main street intersections of the intended target have been captured. The resistance encountered was lower than our prior expectations. The troops are now continuing to advance along the main road as planned. The casualties encountered are also completely controllable. Follow-up response The troops have already set off to consolidate the occupied areas. Should we consider adjusting the combat plan and try to control more areas? "

One after another, good news that was going well and expected came from the front line. After understanding the situation with a radio in his hand, Kulbalov, who personally reported to Malashenko, also had a relaxed look on his face. .

When the battle is going well, people's mood will naturally be good, at least this is the case for Kulbalov, who knows at this moment that his troops' attack is progressing smoothly.

But on Malashenko's side, the situation was a little different. The division commander who put down the telescope seemed to have a slightly solemn face, and there was an indescribable flavor integrated into his expression.

"Don't you see? Kulbalov, some problems have been exposed so far in this battle."

"Expose the problem?"

Like Malashenko, Kulbalov, who was stuck in front of the window of this high-rise building, was a little confused. This position was indeed relatively dangerous in a sense, but he could also see far from a high position.

In these days when battlefield reconnaissance methods are lagging behind, standing high and seeing far away can help you solve quite a few problems in battlefield situational awareness. The risks you pay and the rewards you pay are corresponding. Kulbalov, like Malashenko, could use the telescope in his hand to roughly understand the dynamics of the war on the advancing contact line ahead.

But Kulbalov really didn't quite understand the meaning of Malashenko's words. What exactly was the problem with this seemingly innocuous attack?

"Bombardment, first of all, shelling."

"The rocket artillery fire preparations of one battalion at each street corner can clear out about 30% of the German resistance according to our prior assumptions. The timing of the battlefield and the time of firepower projection are quite well grasped, which is already what we have learned. The best situation that can be decided.”

"But if you look at the actual results, the buildings that were actually completely destroyed by rocket barrages were less than one-third of what was expected. We still underestimated the resistance of urban structures to large-scale artillery fire coverage. The saturation firepower used under field environment standards Under the urban structure, it will be weakened by at least 60 to 70%, even the rocket artillery with higher firepower density and stronger regional destructive power is no exception. "

"If we could achieve the expected destructive effect, we should have captured the street entrance five or even eight minutes ago and advanced in depth. But now we have just captured it, and the close combat with the remaining German soldiers delayed a certain amount of time. This resistance also bought them some time to call for reinforcements.”

Putting the telescope in his hand on the table, he came to the war zone map hanging on the wall and stopped to stare at it. His eyes were full of red and blue arrows and marks on the actual control line and contact line. After a moment of thought, Malashenko said The order to win steadily came out immediately.

"Notify the forward attack troops to slow down the attack speed, give priority to ensuring the integrity of the formation and the continuity of the troop follow-up, and launch the attack in an orderly manner. This battle is not about speed or killing a lot, as long as the Germans can always feel that they are being pinched The pressure on the head under the hydraulic press is increasing, stimulating these bastards’ desire for survival, and then our fish will definitely be able to take the bait.”
