As soon as the planes in the air had withdrawn, and the smoke from the bomb explosion had not yet dissipated, the Austro-Hungarian soldiers with submachine guns rushed to the trenches in the distance under the cover of tanks and assault guns, and then used submachine guns to clear the Russian officers and soldiers who had been beaten in the bombing just now. IN ORDER TO ENSURE THE ACCURACY OF THE ATTACK, THE AUSTRIAN BOMBERS GENERALLY DROPPED BOMBS AT ABOUT 300 METERS, AND THE ACCURACY OF DROPPING BOMBS AT LOW ALTITUDES WAS HIGH ENOUGH AT A LARGE ANGLE, AND THE HUGE EXPLOSIVE POWER OF THE BOMBS WAS ENOUGH TO MAKE UP FOR SOME ERRORS IN ACCURACY. The roadblocks have been removed, and the door to victory is open to the Austro-Hungarian legions!

"Finally gone, it's time for us to play, and hopefully the Austrians' armored forces will be a little stronger than their infantry." The Austro-Hungarian Air Force will withdraw from the battlefield, the infantry on the ground will take to the field again, and the Russian armored forces will also begin their first battlefield show! The Austrians could dig a pit in their position to hide their chariots, and the Russians could rely on the terrain and proper camouflage to avoid aerial reconnaissance. And when the billowing smoke rose from the right side of the battle line, Schrager felt his heart almost strike!

At this time, the combat knives of the Russian armored forces only pierced the weakest flank of the opponent, and the opponent's time was really accurate, the front of the defensive line had just broken through, and the troops were developing in depth. With the advance of the infantry, the follow-up artillery and various weapons also need to follow, and the situation at this time is a bit of a half-way attack. The armored forces of the attacking forces are mainly concentrated in the middle, because there are two most critical support points there, even if they are bombed, it is difficult to take them by infantry alone, and it is conceivable that at this time the Austro-Hungarian corps is the most vulnerable in the face of the sudden attack of troops, the troops on both flanks are simply unable to resist, and the armored forces in the middle have no time to regroup. Gallon's knife slashed at Schrager's soft underbelly!

Looking at the smoke and dust kicked by the armored troops in the distance and the somewhat panicked Austro-Hungarian regiment in the telescope, the corners of General Gallen's mouth couldn't help but cold a cruel smile. "It's still not growing. Just winn? The words were full of a hint of ridicule at the other party, if this move was realized, if the strength of 4 battalions was lost at once, then the Austro-Hungarian army would probably not be able to fight any longer.

"General. My Bohemian division still has enough armored reserves, and judging by the size of this tank unit, there are only about 50 tanks, and it is not a big problem to block it with various self-propelled guns. At the critical moment, Lu Beining, who has a thick family background, is still very confident in speaking, although before that. Lu Beining, who came all the way to come, had just served as a gun for others, but at the critical moment, he was still very responsible.

As a result, the Bohemian division, which had just been put into battle, once again pulled the Austro-Hungarian army back from the brink of crisis. Two tank companies and one tank destroyer company quickly entered the battlefield, threatening the advancing Russian armored forces from the flanks. "Attack their infantry and accompanying artillery, and leave the tanks alone!" The sudden threat from the flanks startled Konev, who was in charge of commanding the armored forces, and it was terrifying that an armored force of his size would come up like a tiger and break his neck at any moment. Soon, though, Konev realized what he had to do. Under the incredulous gaze of the Austro-Hungarian Legion, the Russian armored force continued to pierce the vulnerable flank of the Austro-Hungarian army like a long sword.

Lü Benin's reinforcements were still a little far from the battlefield. Eventually, before reinforcements arrived, the Russians finally rushed over, and at a distance of several hundred meters, tank guns and large-caliber roars quickly harvested the lives of the attackers like the scythe of death. A web of heavy flat fire and machine guns poured like a tidal wave into the flanks of the Austro-Hungarian troops, who had no support. The soldiers fought back in vain with their weapons as they tried to slam themselves into the dirt. Those who are lucky enough to jump into a broken trench or crater can take refuge, while those who are unlucky will be beaten into a cloud of blood mist.

The Austro-Hungarian troops on the flanks did everything in their power to stop these killers, and even leveled the howitzers and infantry artillery. But unfortunately, the low muzzle velocity still greatly reduces the power of the armor-piercing projectile. And the number of armor-piercing shells per gun is extremely small. I've used up some of it just now when dealing with bunkers. However, a small number of large-caliber armor-piercing shells still caused some damage to the Russian tank, and even if they could not penetrate the armor, the cracking of the back plate caused by the violent impact would still hurt the personnel in the tank cabin. However, these disorganized counterattacks, which were mostly in companies, were still unable to organize the attack of the Russian tank corps, after losing a few tanks. The Russian armored forces penetrated the flanks of the opposing side as easily as hot knives slicing through butter, and chased the north in the chaotic battlefield.

This precious opportunity was quickly seized by the intuitive General Gallen, and the Russian reserves deployed in the rear, supported by mortars and howitzers, rushed to the already shaken Austro-Hungarian regiment, where the soldiers of both sides met in a narrow trench. Fighting desperately against the shells fired by both sides, submachine guns have become the best weapon in close combat, and almost half of the Russian soldiers are desperately charging with this kind of trench. Soldiers on both sides were swept down in rows. Then the follow-up troops were refilled, and the entire defense line became a huge meat grinder, constantly consuming the living forces of both sides. No matter how powerful the tank troops are, they still need infantry to occupy positions after breaking through the opponent's defensive lines. The loss of a large number of infantry directly led to the Austrians splitting the opponent's defensive line, but it was difficult to completely crush this defensive line, Konev used his decisiveness to inflict heavy damage on the Austro-Hungarian corps, but at the same time put his troops in a desperate situation!

The Austro-Hungarian tank units that followed kicked the Russian tank group in the ass from behind, and the Austro-Hungarian tank units in the center also turned their guns to attack the culprit who had made them fall short. The two Austro-Hungarian tank units were like giant pincers holding Konev's armored forces, while on the other side of him was a defensive line, and Konev tried to get closer to his own line and withdraw from the retreat route that had been set aside at the beginning. But they were still moving a little slower.

"The last battle of the day was still brutal, and the Russians took the opportunity to sneak up on our flank. However, they did not gain much and were eventually bitten by our armored forces, while long-range artillery began to attack the enemy's retreat. Crush the troops who met them in the trenches. The opposing armoured forces were in a desperate situation, but they still struggled to resist the pressure from both sides. In the end, under the combined strike of Tank 4 and Vespa tank destroyers, this tank unit went back no more than double digits. And we also paid the price of about 30 tanks and armored vehicles of various kinds. "In Lübenin's combat record, there are only a few strokes to record the first appearance of the Russian armored forces, but even such a simple record can still be seen in the bloodiness and tenacity.

Under the decisive charge of the Russian armored forces. One of Schrager's carefully prepared attacks completely collapsed. After throwing down a large number of corpses and wreckage, the Austro-Hungarian regiment again withdrew from the battlefield. Looking at the sun, which was already about to set on the horizon, Schrager's heart was filled with irritability and anxiety. It's not just that his opponent played more than he could have imagined today, squeezing the blow he thought was going to win. What's more, he has not received any news of Guderian's fight against the Chinese reserves. In other words, the battle has reached the door of Huaxia, and the Huaxia reserve team still has not been dispatched! "What's going on here? Air Force reconnaissance also did not provide sufficient information. Schrager said depressedly as he looked at the map in the light.

What Schrager didn't expect was. Guderian was also very depressed, if it was to meet the main force of China, Guderian's lone army would not be able to defeat it, he really couldn't imagine that the Americans who had been beaten into dogs by the German army in the past would be so difficult, in the huge air raid between the main force of China and the rear supply base, the wheeled tank destroyers and light tracked assault guns of the Americans and the British caused great trouble to Guderian! These mobility and travel were extremely strong, and the little guy who had enough firepower to destroy Tank No. 4 launched an attack like a school of piranhas around Guderian's troops.

When both sides can destroy each other, when both sides are in a relatively open wilderness. What are the biggest advantages? Maneuverability? Or logistics? Bradley thinks that all say no, the most important thing is information and the Air Force! Rely on a tough car radio. The US military can exchange information with the air force at any time, whether it is through the air force to reconnoiter the direction and route of the other side and then set up an ambush in advance, or to call in air force support after discovering the target itself, the Americans are doing it with ease. The efficiency of the Americans' air-ground coordination even amazed the elite troops of China. So much so that some people joked that the combat effectiveness of the US Army without air force support could be reduced by half!

"They never go toe-to-toe with us, and these dexterous creatures either choose to ambush us or stay far behind us, like wolves preying on their prey. Whenever we stop to refuel or maintain our vehicles, these vehicles with mortars and light howitzers will attack us, and the large-charge mortars are not only a great threat to unprotected light vehicles, but also the close miss can also damage the tank parts, possibly a leaf spring. It could also be a load wheel, or a blown track. In the past, when the protection was good, we would not be in the category of these minor problems at all. But now it's different, we lack all kinds of parts. Even some tanks had to be abandoned because one of the load wheels was broken by three, and the tank was so well preserved elsewhere that when the order was given, the commander of the tank begged us to give him another 20 minutes to save the tank, but I knew that I could not agree with him, because the reconnaissance unit at the front found a group of planes flying here. We must seize the last time to hide. One of the commanders wrote in his diary.

At this time, Guderian was also very entangled, there were no valuable targets where he could hit at present, and valuable targets could not be hit, and he had realized that the allies had miscalculated the military strength of Huaxia. Realizing that they had underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Russian Legion, Schrager was exemplified by the fact that 5 divisions on paper could not break through the opponent's defenses even at great cost. As time passed, his troops' materiel and battle losses grew. There was little point in staying here, so by now, he needed to think about his retreat, whether to withdraw or think of something else?

It is definitely not possible to go back, the main force of the German army on the front is desperately fighting against the strength of the three divisions in China for so long, just to let their troops penetrate the opponent's defense line in one fell swoop, directly smash the opponent's vital points, and fight a classic blitzkrieg. But who knew that the material reserves on the front line in China were very sufficient, and if they were consumed, Guderian's troops who went deep behind the enemy line could not hold it first, and wanted to attack the rear, but they lacked sufficient ability to attack the fortifications, and the allied ** regiment failed to force Huaxia to use reserves under the all-out attack. The card that Huaxia did not play was always the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the allies, and God knows when it would be cut down.

Guderian must not just walk away, on the one hand, the German military top brass could not allow their plan that had been planned for half a day to be lost. On the other hand, his own withdrawal is very suspicious of betraying friendly forces. Judging from the current situation, Schlager's progress is not fast, don't wait until the end the Chinese reserves have not come out, Guderian's own tanks will lie down because of supply problems. That's all over.

After some thought, Guderian made a decision that shocked everyone, that is, to move north, join Schlager's Austro-Hungarian army, and then everyone together to penetrate the flank of the Chinese armored forces, if this goal can be achieved, then the Allies will eventually win. Of course, the credit and the scenery will be taken by the Austrians. This made the Germans, who had always been pretentious, very unhappy. But this is really Guderian's best choice at the moment. It is also the best choice for the Allies.

Although it was miserably destroyed by the small forces of the United States and Britain and the Chinese Air Force, Guderian still retained a strong armored force and a large number of transport vehicles. This was enough to compensate for the lack of strength of the Austro-Hungarian army, which had a large number of infantry and sufficient logistics, which Guderian also needed. Both sides take what they need and make up for each other! After the convergence, the combat effectiveness of the two armies will naturally increase greatly!
