"There's no decent fight at all!" Looking at the silhouettes of buildings in the city of Smolensk in the distance, Wittmann said with some depression.

He could have used this push to catch up with the gap between him and Karjus. But what made him depressed was that the Soviet army did not invest tanks to fight in the field.

Budyonny knew he didn't have much to waste, so he focused his tanks on a very purposeful basis and piled them up in the midst of more tank-hungry street battles.

The marshal of the Soviet Union concentrated all the forces he could muster and strengthened the defenses near Smolensk.

In the outermost periphery, he was staffed with some old, weak, sick and disabled, trying to use these troops to delay the patience of the German offensive and consume the ammunition of the German army.

Therefore, Wittmann, the Tiger King, who wanted to catch up with his own record, did not encounter a decent tank encounter near Smolensk.

Only once did I hit a KV-1 tank parked on the side of the road, and after struggling for a long time, I found out that it was a faulty vehicle abandoned by the Soviet army after firing two shells.

Under these conditions, the German armored forces quickly crushed the flanks of Smolensk, captured a series of small towns, and surrounded Sumolesk on three sides.

Completely different from history, this time the Soviet Union did not intend to abandon Smolensk easily, they intended to fight here to the end, ensuring absolute security directly in front of Moscow.

"Battalion headquarters, I'm Wittman, we've captured the designated target, everything is safe here, the Russians have abandoned here!" Wittmann put down the binoculars and reluctantly used the intercom to report the capture of the target village.

The Germans attacked very quickly, and their attacks were very effective. Soviet troops on both flanks were retreating in the direction of Moscow, but Smolensk was like a reef in the sea, not moving.

Not to mention the fact that Wittmann did not get a record here, the German troops preparing to attack Smolensk over there have undergone earth-shaking changes.

The infantry, trained in urban combat, had been transported to the vicinity of the front line at this time. They are better suited for battles within the city than front-line infantry.

By arranging for these troops to move forward, it was indeed necessary to prepare for a large-scale street battle in Smolensk.

If the Soviet Union did not hold Smolensk and could not hold out for a long time, it would have been quicker to put these troops into the battle for Moscow in advance.

The Germans, armed with a wide variety of weapons, were on the way, and their weaponry was designed to fit into the city station.

The latest batch of weapons and equipment of all kinds has been given priority to these troops. Including the right military uniform, as well as the right camouflage camouflage.

Urban camouflage is a bit more complex than the three-color camouflage in the field, and although it cannot be specifically designed, the gray military uniform of Germany is more suitable for urban combat than other military uniforms before it.

At the same time, the German factories provided the soldiers with gray urban combat camouflage nets, camouflage smocks, and more cashier H-shaped tactical harnesses.

And the weapons of these units are even more powerful: the soldiers are far more than the other main forces, except for the famous STG-44 assault rifle, which is far more than the other main forces.

For example, these units were heavily armed with MP-40 submachine guns, which were arguably one of the more reliable weapons in German street fighting.

At the same time, after the modification, many unnecessary parts were eliminated and the production process was simplified, and the MP-44 submachine gun (an improved production version of the MP-40) was also equipped in large quantities.

In addition, a new type of weapon, strangely named G-43 by the Führer, was recently developed by German gunsmiths, which was also supplied to these urban street fighting units in advance.

These weapons replaced a large number of Mauser Type 98K bolt-action rifles, increasing the density of fire at close range for German units.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is probably the most firepower unit in modern times. Because the popularity of the M1 Garand rifle in the United States is not so high now.

The use of G-43 rifles to compensate for the suppression at a distance of about 600 meters, and the use of MP-40 submachine guns to increase firepower at a distance of 100 meters to 200 meters made the German troops have no obvious shortcomings in urban warfare.

In addition, due to the lack of weapons, there are two people in a standard infantry squad who use Mauser 98K rifles, which can be regarded as giving the troops the ability to attack from a distance.

Although this distance is not easy to appear in urban combat, it nevertheless provides an option for troops. These two people are also not the main attackers in the infantry squad, they are responsible for the task of transporting ammunition.

This resulted in a standard German urban warfare infantry squad configuration: one MG42 general-purpose machine gun, two gunners; four STG-44 assault riflemen; two MP-40 or MP-41 submachine gunners; as well as two G-43 semi-automatic cover gunners; There was also a gunner in charge of sniping and the squad leader himself......

Such a configuration is very powerful, they can fight two infantry squads within the normal combat distance.

"I'm really surprised that you're here! It seems that our Führer is not going to give them a chance! Now on the offensive! You only have 10 days! Guderian looked at the general who had taken over his attack and said with a smile.

In charge of commanding the German offensive forces was the famous general Quchler, who was also a German field marshal in real history, and a very solid field marshal.

It can be said that during this period of time, the famous generals of the German Army were really like stars, so many that there were countless numbers.

In the Führer's pocket, there is a reserve of talent that is the envy of others: among the German generals, there are too many people who can fight beautiful battles, and he can find a very suitable candidate without deliberately looking for it.

Qucheller is such an inconspicuous, but very powerful talent. He was promoted to marshal in 1942 in real history.

And the reason for his promotion to marshal was that he commanded Army Group North, surrounded Leningrad, and achieved a series of victories.

Now, the new Führer, or rather the false Führer, used him in the assault on Smolensk. Moreover, the troops in his hands can be said to be the most capable of fighting urban fortifications among the German infantry.

Budyonny was in Smolensk, and he did not know that the troops in front of him had been replaced, and they had been replaced by the powerful infantry units of the German army......
