readx;?“ This is real land warfare! The guys in the air can't touch the ground, and we have a vast plain, and the tanks and mechanized troops on both sides will decide everything! I've been waiting for such a scene for a long time! And today, the Great War has finally begun! "Looking at the groups of steel behemoths in the assembly area, a long-lost pride and pride filled Guderian's chest! He's never fought such a hearty battle! Whether it was in Iran or in the battle of France, where the German Army was most proud!

Guderian has always emphasized the speed of the assault and the precision of the strike! He has a whole set of theories to back up this tactical system, which he believes is the most accurate and fearsome ground tactic in the world. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But alas, this set of tactics was born at the wrong time! The rapid tank assault group under Guderian was defeated again and again in the face of the heavy armored cavalry of China!

In the face of the facts, the Germans had to swallow this bitter pill, and then turn around and design a heavy tank according to the other side's ideas, in order to overwhelm the opponent in the head-to-head confrontation! And this is the famous Tiger tank in later generations, when the Tiger tank appeared, the German Army cheered and was excited! But Guderian privately cursed this big guy weighing nearly 60 tons many times! "Behind the success of the Tiger tank in tactical indicators, the price is extremely high! It will slow down our offensive and thus lose our strategic advantage! Even now, Guderian still comments on this big guy who has made great contributions to the German Army!

The Battle of France was the most glorious time for the German Army, and under the cover of the Air Force, the Tiger tanks were almost invincible! At that time, the Germans only had to worry about the distance they could advance a little less in a day, and they didn't have to worry about not being able to move! The kind of high-speed penetration C that Guderian longed for, the tactical system of division and encirclement turned into a flat push and crushing all the way. And in the Middle East, in the face of the powerful Chinese army, the Germans stubbornly regarded the offensive armored units as mobile batteries for defense!

But today, everything is different, and in a place even wider than the Middle East, Guderian is armed with a completely new fast assault tank! The Leopard tank is simply synonymous with perfection in his heart! Powerful firepower. More speed, more travel, thicker frontal defense! There are nearly a thousand of these perfect vehicles! Guderian finally had a chance to realize his tactics and cut his opponent with a swift penetration. Then the mechanized infantry in the back divided and surrounded, annihilating the opponent! "There is only one mission this time, and that is to attack! Offensive! Keep on the offensive! We don't even have time to take prisoners! Let the infantry in the back contain the lost Yankees! Guderian said at a meeting!

"Your offensive lasts a maximum of ten days! If you can't achieve a decisive victory in another ten days, then you have to find a way to face the swarm of American attack planes yourself! "Although Guderian did not like the Air Force to interfere too much in the ground fighting. (Of course, in the spirit of the principle that something is better than nothing.) If there is air support, it must be used! But he must also act according to the objective laws! The air force can provide a limited amount of time for air shelter on the battlefield, he must fight according to this time, if this time is exceeded, Guderian has only two choices!

First, immediately retreat, shrink forces, and assemble in an area where your air force can cover. The second is to break the kettle and continue to move forward in the face of the indiscriminate bombardment of thousands of aircraft of all kinds, okay. Even if his leopard is not too afraid, the infantry and various vehicles behind it are estimated to be damaged. The second option was almost abandoned, so for Guderian, time was the prerequisite for victory!

When more than ten armored divisions of the Americans were fighting with the Germans on the banks of the Dnieper River, an armored torrent composed of thousands of tanks of various types suddenly came from the north! The steel front line composed of the troops of the entire 10 integrated armored divisions swept like a sharp blade! The fierce offensive convinced Guderian that the Americans would not be able to stop such an attack at all! One round of attacks is enough to blow up your opponent!

And what about the facts? It really started with! Several American divisions that were originally left on the flank were torn to pieces by the fierce attack of the Germans at the first time! A large number of leopards easily broke through the temporary defense line formed by the Americans with suggested fortifications and a small number of anti-aircraft guns, and artillery of various calibers blew a large number of vehicles crowded on the road to pieces! In the face of panicked American soldiers who even took the initiative to raise their hands to surrender, Guderian fulfilled his prediction! The fierce German Panzers simply don't have time to capture you! Stay where you are and surrender to the infantry behind!

Within 2 days. The numbers of several U.S. divisions disappeared from the battle sequence! Guderian's armored forces have already driven a wedge into the lengthy front of the American army! If you work harder, you can cut off the U.S. military! When the time comes, the most elite armored units of the American army will be caught in the pincer offensive of Manstein and Guderian! In front, the Dnieper defense line was built by the Germans with heavy armored units, and in the back were Guderian's elite fast troops! Most of the ones left behind were American mechanized infantry divisions. The number of armored units they themselves possess is relatively small. Defensive battles may still be able to fight with armored troops, but if it is a field battle, it is better to wash and sleep!

In just two days, the situation on the entire battlefield has changed dramatically. The German top brass was in a state of optimism, and they were now expecting the world's largest encirclement and annihilation! Directly encircled and annihilated dozens of American, British, and Russian troops in the southeast of Ukraine! But at the same time, too many battles have been experienced. And the U.S. and British Army, which had escaped death several times, immediately adjusted its tactics and fought a high-level offensive battle! The United States and Britain have not been idle in the past two days when the flank collapsed! While delaying the opponent's attack with infantry units, the Americans are also shrinking their armored forces! The concentrated US armored forces still have a numerical advantage! The frontal Dnieper line of defense quickly moved to the defensive. And the concentrated Pershing tanks and M36 tank destroyers rushed forward against Guderian's armored spearhead!

Leopard tank vs Pershing tank! Historically, because of its late entry into the war, the Pershing Tank missed the opportunity to fight the beasts of the Third Reich, and this time, an unprecedented engagement gave the Pershing and the Leopard Tank a chance to test their combat effectiveness! Thousands of steel behemoths roared and rushed towards their opponents, and the battle between the most elite 40-ton tanks of the Entente and the Central Powers could definitely be described as shocking. When several armored clusters on both sides collided together, the battlefield became chaotic! In this tragic offensive battle, in just a few days, both sides were scarred!

Like medieval musketeers lining up to slash, rows of tanks quickly approach their opponents and then slash wildly at a distance of 700 to 800 meters! Orange fires and clouds of smoke flickered in the muzzles of the guns. Dense armor-piercing shells flew like sharp arrows towards the opponent! In this engagement, the Americans finally had an advantage in equipment! 50 guns with 33 guns and 56 guns stabilized by the new T56 shells! Although the angle of inclination of the armor of the Americans is relatively small, the absolute thickness is relatively large, if you look at it all together. In terms of breakdown distance, the German Leopard was about 300 meters closer than the American Pershing! The leopard needs to penetrate the opponent at a distance of about 600 meters, and Pershing can kill the opponent at a distance of 1 kilometer!

Just this distance of 300 meters left a considerable amount of blood in the German armored forces! Guderian's seemingly indestructible armored spearhead was smashed by the opponent, but he took advantage of the initiative to attack. Guderian can still concentrate his relatively superior forces and eat the American armored forces that have not yet been fully concentrated! The Germans are still struggling with waist-deep blood, little by little towards victory!

Generally speaking, the quality of the German armored forces is indeed higher than that of the other side, both in terms of tactical command and the technical and tactical level of front-line officers and men. Although the equipment was a little inferior, relying on local superiority and the quality of officers and men, it also fought 1 to 1 with Pershing. 2 of the exchange ratio! Guderian attacked without hesitation, and after breaking through the first few interceptions of the American army, he finally began to cut the large force of the American army!

"This victory was too difficult to obtain!" Standing on the devastated battlefield, looking at the wreckage of hundreds of tanks and the wreckage of thousands of vehicles of various types in front of him, Guderian also lamented the cruelty of war, which was on this battlefield. The Germans threw away more than 100 tanks and tank destroyers of various types. An armored division was completely crippled. At this point in the battle, nearly thirty percent of the armored units have been destroyed or withdrawn from the battle, and by general standards, Guderian's troops should have returned to repair!

"Keep it up the Warriors! Just attack for 2 more days at the current rate, and the Americans will collapse! Their heavy armor is over! The rest of the troops can only be lambs to the slaughter in front of our tanks! Before Guderian could convey this order, the screaming sound from the air made Guderian's scalp cool slightly! After years in the army, his intuition made him feel that danger was approaching! Guderian immediately jumped into the cabin of the command tank, and quickly closed the hatch, and half a minute later, a barrage of rockets and shells rained down, two of which were 40mm shells that destroyed the rear engine compartment of the Leopard command tank!

"Damn it. I hate those planes! The accompanying spherical lightning self-propelled guns from the planes, and after a short air strike, Guderian climbed out of the tank again, next to a large expanse of shattered corpses. And look up into the distance. Swarms of planes are tangling in the air. "The Air Force has once again broken its promise! Their promises have never been reliable! Goodry was very apprehensive! The sky above the Germans is no longer shining, and the Grim Reaper's clouds are looming!

"Go on the offensive! We can't hold back! "Guderian's last order was simple and cold-blooded! With this order, the rapid assault group of the German Northern Front will fight under the air raids of the opposing side! And this order also made the fight between the two sides even more bloody! Bands of German tanks and mechanized infantry continued over the steel wreckage, and the winch of bombs continued with the roar of engines and the whistling of airplanes from the sky. However, to Guderian's surprise, the next battle was not easy. After defeating several American armored units, the strength of the Americans' counterattack did not drop much!

"Damn! Tank destroyers for the Americans again! "There was a flash of fire in the woods in the distance, and a barrage of shells was directed towards the moving German tank column, three Leopard tanks could not dodge and were damaged, one of them penetrated the turret, and the other two were destroyed by the suspension.

"Rescue the members who are still alive and throw these tanks away." A German major said bitterly. The troops continued to advance, but there were not enough emergency repair vehicles to repair the damaged vehicles. In order to prevent these valuable weapons from falling into the hands of the opposing side, the Germans carried out complete destruction of abandoned vehicles. After the heavy armor of the Americans was heavily damaged, their various tank destroyers and individual anti-tank weapons caused great trouble for the Germans by using mobile combat and setting ambush circles! Plus the tanks, which broke down and were abandoned after a long march. The attack power of the Germans dropped rapidly!

In the ensuing battle, the German Panthers repeatedly attacked the temporary defensive line built by the Americans with anti-aircraft guns, faced the M10 and M36 tank destroyers that sprang out from time to time, and faced the anti-tank group with Bazooka in hand. And in the face of these units, the problem of the panther side defense coffee table is magnified! In the words of the Germans, the Leopard tank was not much better than the 4th in the face of hidden anti-tank positions, since the vast majority of the blows came from the side! The Tiger tank can also use the 80mm armor on the side to gain a certain immunity range, but the Leopard? As long as you hit, something is bound to happen!

The Leopard tank that Guderian admired was indeed a good hand in the face of the opposing tanks in the field, but in the face of all-round blows from various tank guns when attacking the fortifications, the problem of the Leopard tank immediately showed itself, and in this battle known as the balcony of Ukraine, the performance of the Leopard can be described as mixed. The speed and lethality of the early stage are commendable, but the weakness in the face of a strong defensive line is also criticized. Of course, the most important thing is that under the consumption of the Americans who accumulate small amounts and cut with blunt knives, Guderian's leopards finally can't gnaw!

"Now we have to make a decision, we can't continue to fight with the air superiority of the Americans, and our logistics and transportation capabilities have lost more than 60% of the total under the blow of the air force! If we continue to fight, our troops will not be able to guarantee even the most basic supplies of fuel and food, and the Americans will even have the spare power to airdrop ammunition and supplies by planes! Finally, the commander of the front, Hoth, advised Guderian to stop the offensive.
