Chapter 843: German Reinforcements
German reinforcements moved quickly in a large number of trucks, cars, armored personnel carriers, etc., and were only three or four kilometers away from the 1st Infantry Division north of the city.
This German army, led by dozens of tanks, was menacing and outnumbered, and behind these units, there were some German infantry running forward.
The German reinforcements exceeded 20,000, nearly half of them were in vehicles, and more than 10,000 people were marching in a hurry, and Suez was not far from here, and if they marched in a hurry, they might come in more than an hour, at most two hours.
After receiving the order, the 1st Tank Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division, and the 2nd Infantry Regiment that was cleaning the battlefield, everyone immediately went into action, especially the 2nd Infantry Regiment, and after receiving the order, almost all the soldiers cheered. There is a feeling of pie in the world.
Just now, that is, a few minutes ago, many soldiers were still envious of the soldiers of the 1st Infantry Regiment, but they did not expect that the situation would change immediately, and they would be able to participate in the battle immediately, and they would still block the reinforcements of the German army.
Soon, all the tanks of the 1st Tank Regiment were launched, and the soldiers of the 2nd Infantry Regiment ran to keep up, and everyone began to meet the German reinforcements.

1st Army, 6th Army Joint Command.
After receiving the information that the Germans were reinforcing the army on a large scale, Wang Haiyang, commander of the 1st Group Army, and Chu Tianming, commander of the 6th Group Army, looked at each other and smiled.
Wang Haiyang even gave an order to the 1st Infantry Division, which was closest to the German reinforcements, at the first time, ordering the 1st Infantry Division to send a tank regiment and an infantry regiment to block the Germans first.
After giving such an order. Wang Haiyang began to deploy troops again, and this time, the 6th Army will also participate in the battle.
Originally, the 6th Army was still preparing to rest for two days and then capture Suez together with the 1st Army, but now that almost all the German troops in Suez have come out, the 6th Army will also move immediately.
In the command headquarters, Wang Haiyang, Chu Tianming, and several high-ranking officials of the two major group armies briefly discussed together. Soon. One order after another was given to the troops.
The 6th Army was not far from the battlefield of the 1st Army and the German army, and the 6th Army's two tank regiments and one mechanized infantry regiment set off first and headed for the battlefield 60 or 70 kilometers away.
The rest of the 6th Army. They also went north one after another. The target is the small town of Gary. and the Suez area.
A few kilometers north of the small town of Gary.
The 1st Infantry Division of the 1st Infantry Division, the 1st Tank Regiment, the 2nd Infantry Regiment, one in front and one in the rear. Moving forward, the target is German reinforcements.
Subsequently, there were still some units of the 1st Army that were preparing to come over, and only three mechanized infantry regiments and three infantry regiments were entering the city of Gary to fight.
The other two tank regiments of the 1st Army, in addition, several infantry regiments, are being prepared and may not be long before they reach this place and join the war groups, especially the two tank regiments of the 1st Army, which move quickly and may not be long before they begin to move.
The vanguard of the German reinforcements was a huge tank group, with thirty or forty tanks at the head, and more than a hundred armored vehicles of various types, and behind this German tank group, there were a large number of German infantry to follow, and these German troops were either traveling in cars or marching in a hurry.
The 1st Tank Regiment and the 2nd Infantry Regiment were not far from the Germans, and it didn't take long for the two armies to begin to meet. The 1st Tank Regiment and the 2nd Infantry Regiment were one in front and one behind, the Tank Regiment was in front, and the 2nd Infantry Regiment was in the rear, and the two were not far apart.
The fighters of the tank regiment saw a large number of German tanks coming in front of them, and the number was no less than their own, and the fighters of the tank regiment became excited, and everyone's fighting spirit was high.
"Comrades! Come on!!! ”
Quite a few commanders gave orders to attack into their microphones, and hundreds of tanks and 30 or 40 armored vehicles of the tank regiment formed an offensive line as wide as 1,000 meters and headed for the German army.
The German tank group on the opposite side also saw this Chinese unit, the German army relied on its own tanks were not less than the Chinese side, and there were still a large number of troops behind them, and this German tank unit also rushed over.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer......
1,000,000,000,000,000,......
When the distance was only five or six hundred meters, many Type 39 tanks of the tank regiment began to open fire, and one by one, the tanks and the 75-mm main gun barrels flashed, and one shell after another flew towards the German tank group.
"Boom, boom, boom......"
An explosion sounded in the group of German tanks, and suddenly, many German tanks were shot, including tanks and German armored vehicles.
The German tanks were slightly better, most of the German tanks that were shot were not destroyed, only two or three were shot and stopped, I don't know what the situation was, it should have been damaged.
As for the German armored vehicles, they were basically destroyed, and the 75-mm tank main gun should not be underestimated, and the German armored car with more than ten mm of armor was so thick that it could not withstand the main gun of such a caliber.
The first tank regiment took the lead in firing artillery, and immediately took a big advantage, and the rest of the tanks, and even some armored vehicles, saw this, and they also opened fire one after another, and one shell after another flew towards the German tank group that was getting closer and closer.
The tanks opened fire in a large area, and the Germans immediately began to return fire, the German tanks began to fire, and the German armored vehicles also began to fire, most of the German armored vehicles were still some half-track armored vehicles, and there were also some full-track armored vehicles, and the main armament of these armored vehicles was basically machine guns, mainly 7.92 mm machine guns.
Soon, the two sides fought together at close range, there was the rumbling of artillery everywhere, there was the sound of guns everywhere, the second infantry regiment that ran to follow, seeing the fierce battle in front, slowed down the speed of marching, and the front was completely a duel of chariots, as infantry, they could only watch the battle on the periphery first, and then enter the battlefield to clean up the mess.
Large-scale battles, fiercely staged!
On the tank, the battle lasted less than ten minutes, and the tank groups of the two sides were completely intertwined, and on the battlefield, a lot of destroyed tanks began to appear, if you look closely, most of these tanks are German armored vehicles, as well as more than a dozen tanks of the German army.
As for the tanks of the tank regiments, there were very few destroyed tanks, and there were not many destroyed armored vehicles, and the losses of the tank regiments were much smaller than on the part of the Germans.
There were quite a few tanks that were shot by the tank regiment, but there were really few that were really destroyed by the Germans, and the thick inclined armor of the Type 39 tank played a great role, and under normal circumstances, it was difficult for German tanks to penetrate such armor.
The German tanks, the losses were much greater, the number of German tanks was much less than the Type 39 tanks of the tank regiment, and in the engagement, the German tanks were completely at a disadvantage.
Although the performance of the German tanks was also good, after a few shots, they would be destroyed, maybe two or three guns, or four or five guns.
On the battlefield, there were nearly 20 destroyed German troops, and the German tanks posed the greatest threat to everyone, so the soldiers naturally took care of them "with a focus", and the German tanks were destroyed one by one.
In the battle just now, the tank regiment and two tank battalions played a great role, and the mixed battalion also began to fight, and among the armored vehicles, many soldiers came out, and these soldiers carried 40 mm rocket launchers or 120 mm rocket launchers to cooperate in the battle.
Next to a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, using the cover of the combat vehicle, several fighters cooperated with each other, one of whom carried a 40-mm rocket launcher and aimed at a German tank not far away.
"Whoosh......"
A rocket flew towards the German tank not far away, and with a muffled "boom", the tank was completely destroyed in an instant, and the German tank, no matter how strong it was, was like paper paste in front of the bazooka, and it was vulnerable.
Not far away, there was also a Type 39 armored personnel carrier, next to this combat vehicle, there were also several fighters, one of whom was also carrying a 40-mm bazooka, and one was carrying a 120-mm bazooka, and the rest of the fighters cooperated.
The soldier, who was carrying a 120-millimeter bazooka, aimed at a German tank about two or three hundred meters away from him, and calmly fired a rocket.
With a loud "boom", the rocket hit the target, and the German tank suddenly turned into a pile of scrap metal, and smoke rose in the same place, and soon a raging fire ignited.
Next to the Type 39 armored personnel carrier, another soldier carrying a 40-mm rocket launcher saw that his comrades had successfully destroyed a German tank, and immediately locked on to a German armored vehicle not far away.
With a "whoosh", a rocket hit the German armored car, and under the blow of the rocket, the German armored car exploded violently and was completely destroyed.
The German tanks were destroyed one by one, especially the German tanks, the number of which was drastically reduced, and they were soon all destroyed under the heavy blows of the soldiers.
With the destruction of all German tanks, the remaining German armored vehicles were basically lambs to be slaughtered in front of the tank regiments, and as the battle progressed, the number of German armored vehicles also decreased rapidly.
The two sides fought for only about half an hour, and the battlefield was full of piles of wreckage of tanks, and the number of German tanks was less than half, not only 30 or 40 tanks were all destroyed, but only 50 or 60 of the more than 100 German armored vehicles remained.
The 2nd Infantry Regiment, which was watching the battle on the outer battlefield, saw that the opportunity had come, and it was the time to beat the water dogs, and immediately shouted: "Comrades, rush!! “
A large number of fighters rushed into the battlefield with weapons, some fighters also carried bazookas, and even infantry regiments were equipped with a certain amount of bazookas.
When the soldiers of the 2nd Infantry Regiment began to rush into the battlefield, the other two tank regiments of the 1st Army also arrived at this time, and the two tank regiments, two or three hundred tanks, with great momentum, drove towards this side at high speed.
