Chapter 724: Encounter
When the sun rose again, the Russian officers and soldiers of the Donetsk division had to start a busy and arduous journey. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The cooks at the camp began to prepare breakfast, tossing large portions of dried vegetables, fish meal, and other things into the cauldron, and one cook laboriously stirred the mushy-like mixture with a long-handled spoon. Others took bags of rusks and distributed them to each soldier.
Take the bread sticks like wooden sticks, go to another place to get today's cans and butter, and finally take the soup bowl to the big pot to serve a bowl of vegetable soup. Find a place to sit and have a nice meal. This was already a difficult pleasure for Russian soldiers of this era. After all, it is rare for officers to not withhold military rations, and to increase meat and fat.
The whole camp became noisy when the sun was fully rising, and the Russian GIs, who had just been fed, began to pack up the camp and prepare to set off, and today their task was to advance another 18 kilometers. According to the words of the commander, after 3 more days like this, you can fight the Germans. "If you move faster, you can rush home to harvest wheat after this war is over." Makhno said as he nibbled on the brown bread in his hand.
"They seem to be eating!" On a hill 5 kilometers away, a boxy Hu Feng assault gun drove to the top of the hill, and the hatch of the upper part of the hull opened with the sound of metal twisting. Lieutenant Colonel Mike, the forerunner of the Bavarian armored forces and the commander of the first generation of Bavarian tanks, who already had a reputation as armored brown bears, climbed out of the cramped hull and picked up the 8x Zeiss telescope in his hand to observe everything in the distance.
They were confronted with about the strength of a regiment, and a small number of cavalry, who were near a small stream, as if to facilitate the use of water. They didn't have much artillery, it was supposed to be the advance corps of a division, and according to the Russians' marching configuration, it should be their main force not far behind!
"Ready to send a report." As the commander of an advance corps, the first thing to do when encountering the enemy is to objectively inform his superiors of the battlefield situation, rather than recklessly without saying a word, it is true that Mike has the most elite tank troops in Bavaria, but at the same time, more importantly, he is the eyes of the corps, and the real horror is the entire assault division and not just himself.
"Our army has encountered the Russian corps after 15 kilometers deep into the Russian border, they are currently on the march, the avant-garde troops have not been deployed, our troops will eat the opponent's vanguard according to the predetermined plan, it is expected that the battle can end in half an hour, and the main force of the opponent's division will be in contact at noon today, I hope the headquarters can call back before 10 o'clock!" After dictating the telegram, Mike retracted the chariot and began to contact his men, and the battle was about to break out.
At the same time that the Enig cipher machine was translating the telegram into ciphertext, Mike's Lancer battle group had completed its assembly. As the vanguard of the entire army or even the entire corps, the configuration of this battle group is completely exceeded, a complete independent armored battalion, plus 2 motorized infantry battalions attached to it, and also has an additional self-propelled artillery company and auxiliary reconnaissance units, a brown bear completely armed with machinery and guns began to launch, but the enemy in front of him is really not worth mentioning......
"Tank assault!" With the order to attack, an attack front composed of more than 20 tanks quickly rushed towards the Russian army who was eating breakfast.!
"What?!" A Russian soldier looked at the black dot moving rapidly on the horizon in the distance and put down the bread in his hand, and a sound like thunder came from a distance, and some soldiers even lay on the ground, and could quickly feel the shaking of the earth!
"It's cavalry! German cavalry! "At the officer's curses and orders, the Russian soldiers quickly threw away the bread and soup basins in their hands and prepared for battle in company and platoon. A machine gun was pushed to the front of the position, the regimental artillery began to be disarmed and deployed, and the cavalry jumped on horseback and raised their swords to prepare for a flank assault, however, in the face of the steel knights of the new era, these preparations were useless!
When the distance was reduced to 1 kilometer, the Russians were surprised to find that they were not facing German cavalry, but a group of unspeakable demons emerging from hell! The muffled sound of long 75mm guns and machine-gun fire like tearing oilcloth filled the battlefield in an instant. A barrage of flames and steel crashed into the Russian defenses like a wall.
Flying shrapnel and flames were like the scythe of death reaping the lives of the enemy, and the Russians' defensive line was completely papery in the face of these era-spanning steel killers, and the rolling barrage advanced rapidly with the advance of the armored units, crushing everything they touched. Most Russian soldiers could only fire at their targets in desperation, and then wait for a few seconds to be killed by shells or bullets, or even simply swept under the tracks and turned into a mass of minced flesh.
"Oh God, these German demons are terrible!" The so-called resistance lasted less than 10 minutes, and when Mike and his team directly penetrated the Russian camp, he was surprised to find that in just 8 minutes, there was not a single Russian standing in the entire camp. Most of them turned into corpses next to their path. A small group of people were still lying on the lifts and moaning. The rest threw away their rifles, shrunk in a corner, and were driven aside by the German motorized infantry that followed.
"That's the end of it?!" The unfinished second-generation drag racing party jumped out of the chariot, and then called the correspondent boredly: "Tell our head, just say that the battle is settled, the Russians' breakfast soup is still hot, if nothing else, we can go to the main force of the Russian division for lunch." ”
30 kilometers away, Baron Schmidt's staff officers had already summarized the information they had gathered, and marked the latest developments of the Russian army in the middle on the sand table, and when the intelligence of Armored Mike arrived, a more detailed map of the situation was presented in front of the baron.
The assault corps in the middle was already advancing a little faster, and at this moment the troops under the direct command of Schmidt had cut into the junction of the Russian Fifth and Sixth Army Corps like a nail, and the armored Mike should have encountered the Donetsk Division, and there should be another division a little south of this division, this division is the 17th Division of the 9th Army of the Russian Fifth Army, which is said to be a heavy division. Has a certain amount of large-caliber artillery.
"Contact the headquarters, ask for air support, we are ready for a big one!"
