Chapter 775: General Don't be impulsive

The mouth cannon goes first, and the cannon comes last, which is Chen Dao's consistent style.

Through the professional mouth cannon masters of the "Deutsche Welle" radio station, Chen Dao made a series of teasing, ridicule and insults to Stalin in the name of himself and Lieutenant General Vlasov, the most typical example of which is the famous sentence uttered by Lieutenant General Vlasov written by Chen Dao himself.

"Every day that Stalin's Georgian butcher lives is a serious pollution of the air."

By filling up the hatred value with his mouth cannon, Chen Dao began to think about his next move, and decided to rush to the front line and command the actions of the troops nearby.

After all, near the Kalitva River, there were units such as the "Honorary Jew" Infantry Corps, the 1st Luftwaffe Parachute Corps, the "Reich Marshal" Panzer Division and the 101st Special Air Service Regiment, and one person was needed to command these units in a unified manner.

In the early morning of the day of the Soviet counteroffensive, before dawn, Chen Dao, escorted by a platoon of panzergrenadiers, arrived at the junction of the troops on the battlefield, the village of Markiivka, after nearly three hours of marching.

By the time Chen Dao arrived at the village of Marchivka, the village had become a large barracks, and the troops of the Honorable Jewish Infantry Corps, who had arrived from the south, hurried through the village and marched north.

The airfield northwest of the village has 24-hour planes taking off and landing to transport groups of paratroopers and various military supplies.

Inside and outside the village, there are many anti-aircraft guns, and various fortifications are built.

The distance between the village of Markivka and the defense line of the Kalitva River in the north is about 80 kilometers, and Chen Dao, as the supreme commander, decided to rush to the front line and take command of the nearest line after inspecting the garrison in the village.

The Russians can hear the "Deutsche Welle" radio station, and their own troops, of course, can hear it.

Since he has already released cruel words, saying that he is on the Kalitva River, and he has kicked the headquarters of Marshal Timoshenko, he has to go to the Kalitwa River to show his face, even if he condoles the wounded soldiers after the battle, he can also boost morale and provide material for the next round of mouth artillery.

Near noon, just as he was preparing to set out from the village of Markivka to join Major General Schumacher on the Kalitva River, Chen Dao received a report from the headquarters of the "Honorary Jew" Infantry Corps that a large number of Soviet armored units from the direction of Boguchar were launching an attack on the front line of Kandemirovka, which was defended by the 1st Infantry Division under the army, and the offensive was very fierce.

Chen Dao rushed to the front, and the nearest road happened to pass near Kandemirovka.

For safety, Chen Dao was forced to postpone his departure.

Chen Dao's convoy brought its own radio communication vehicle, equipped with high-power radios and special antennas.

After a series of communications with Major General Schumacher, Chen Dao learned that the "Reichsmarshal" armored division had basically grasped the initiative in the battle on the Kalitva River defense line and was launching a counteroffensive.

Knowing this, Chen Dao stopped waiting at the head of the village of Markiivka and decisively decided to set off.

At the head of the village of Markivka, Chen Dao was not idle, waiting to kill time.

The armored division of the "Imperial Marshal" crossed the Donets River, went deep behind enemy lines, marched more than 200 kilometers on the "rotten Russian-style road", and also encountered the problem that the armored troops would inevitably encounter on the road march, that is, the problem of the failure of armored vehicles, especially the relatively large tonnage tanks.

All the way to the rapid march, along the way there are tanks that stop and fall behind due to various breakdowns.

After the capture of the village of Markivka, Major General Schumacher left the repair plant of the Panzer Division of the "Reich Marshal" here.

The repair plant was put up overnight, using trailers to bring the tanks that had fallen along the way back to the village of Markiivka for repair.

Because they had to pass through the battlefield halfway, Chen Dao and his adjutants felt that the strength of a platoon was too weak to provide sufficient security, so they immediately decided to hit the field maintenance factory at the head of the village.

The group sat collectively at the head of the village, cheering up the maintenance workers while recruiting troops on the spot.

When waiting with sincere feelings, Chen Dao was very emotional.

Others are squatting on the wall waiting for red apricots, but I am squatting at the head of the village waiting for the tank, which is not romantic at all.

Chen Dao and others squatted at the head of the village for two hours and caught four tanks that had just been repaired.

Two E-40 "Panther" tanks, one No. 4H tank, and one "Dongfeng" self-propelled anti-aircraft gun.

Ignoring the adjutants' obstruction, Chen Dao did not wait any longer, and rushed north to the front line with this guard consisting of a platoon of panzergrenadiers and four tanks.

The village of Markivka is less than forty kilometers from the city of Kandemirovka, and the convoy arrived at the battlefield in less than an hour.

Having not entered the city of Kandemirovka, which was in the midst of fierce fighting, Chen Dao commanded the convoy to leave the road early and drive along a country dirt road to the division headquarters of the 1st Infantry Division of the "Honored Jews" on the west side of the battlefield.

At the division headquarters of the 1st Infantry Division, Chen Dao learned that the enemy's main attack area was the village of Zuravka on the north side, and immediately led the convoy to set off again.

The convoy galloped on a dirt road in the countryside, from the safety of the rear of the battle line, around the north-western corner of the village of Zuravka.

Chen Dao sat in a radio communication vehicle converted from an SD KFZ 251 armored car, did not use a password, and shouted directly into the radio microphone: "I am Heinz von Rosen, I have arrived at the battlefield, you listen to the artillery of the Russians in front, they are welcoming me." ”

After speaking, Chen Dao stretched out his hand and stretched the microphone out of the car, staying for nearly ten seconds before retracting it.

"I'm going to charge, when will you get to the battlefield? You guys flying in the air are slower than me running on wheels, and I've gotten you so many helicopters for nothing. ”

There was a loud sound coming from the earpiece, and there was a noticeable noise from the engine of an airplane.

"General, we have arrived and are approaching the goal, you wait for us, don't be impulsive."

Chen Dao shouted into the microphone: "The Russians are slaughtering our brothers, can I not be impulsive?" Give you a minute to appear in front of me, or I'll personally lead the charge. ”

"We've seen the village, come down right away, we're here, it's now."

Chen Dao stood up and looked up at the sky to the south, and saw that the troops of two companies under the Black Iron Brigade of the 101st Special Air Service Regiment flew from the airfield in the village of Markivka to the battlefield in helicopters.

Nearly 60 FI-382 "Black Hawk" helicopters swept over Chen Dao's convoy, drew an arc from the northwest, divided into two teams, and flew straight at the Soviet troops outside the village of Zuravka.

The first team of nearly 30 "Black Hawk" helicopters circled behind the Soviet infantry on the ground, most of them aimed the right side of the fuselage at the enemy, and on the MG42 machine gun in the cabin, the bullet chain passed through the gun body, and the bullet shot out of the muzzle and splashed water on the Soviet infantry on the ground.

Mortar and cannon gunners, who were at the back of the station, were the first to suffer, they were first shocked by the sudden rush of the helicopter group into the battlefield, and after sensing the intention of the helicopter group, it was too late, and they were exposed to the wilderness and had no way to avoid the attack from the air.

The fragile flesh and blood body is pierced by bullets, and even lying down will not help, only the bullets that fall from the sky will pierce the body and nail to the ground.

Some Soviet infantry pointed their submachine guns and light machine guns into the sky and fired at helicopters roaming in the sky.

Most of the bullets missed, and a small number of bullets were blocked by the steel plates of the fuselage.

The bullets fired from the German helicopters, but the Soviet infantry could only resist with flesh and blood.

The armed FI-382 "Black Hawk" helicopter has the nose facing the exposed back of the Soviet tank group, and when you look down from the sky, the SU-122 self-propelled gun that follows the T-34 tank is also exposed.

Because of their relatively backward position, these SU-122 self-propelled guns became the preferred targets for outflanked helicopters.

The R-4M rocket was shot out with black smoke and launched a "**" attack on the rear of the Soviet tank, and the armor-piercing warhead hit the hull, leaving a fatal bullet hole in the steel plate.

In front of the helicopter, the Soviet tanks that had just flaunted their might and galloped on the battlefield became live targets and were destroyed on the battlefield.

Another group of Black Hawk helicopters flew north, firing heavily from machine guns, sweeping all moving targets along the way.

Following the call of a helicopter flying on the right flank of the queue, the helicopter formation made an emergency right turn and went straight to a Soviet 122-mm howitzer position that was firing.

Seeing the helicopter group rushing straight from the sky, in less than a minute, the howitzer artillery on the howitzer position suddenly fell into confusion, and the gunners panicked, each looking for weapons to shoot at the sky.

On the right side of the fuselage, helicopter formations circled and flew around the artillery positions, bullets fell to the ground and kicked up a cloud of dust, clanged on the howitzers, and made a terrifying snort through the gunner's body, leaving bloody corpses behind each gun emplacement.

Anti-aircraft weapons in the vicinity of the artillery positions fired wildly, trying to block the movement of the helicopter formation.

A quadruple self-propelled anti-aircraft machine gun fired furiously into the sky, and the dense bullets instantly punched countless bullet holes in the right fuselage and belly of a "Black Hawk" helicopter, shaking and falling to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, two R4M rockets flew in, hitting the rear of the anti-aircraft machine gun and the body of the machine gun, and in the violent explosion, the body of the anti-aircraft machine gunner flew out of the compartment, and the body of the car was torn apart by the explosion vibration.

The smoke cleared, leaving only trucks without heads, scattered machine guns, and blood-stained wagons.

The two helicopter companies of the "Black Iron Brigade" ravaged the northern part of the battlefield, but Chen Dao did not have the patience to watch.

Facing the microphone on the high-power radio, Chen Dao shouted directly: "Colonel Boerman, Colonel Boerman, you will reply immediately when you hear it, and you will reply immediately when you hear it······

After several calls, a voice came out of the earpiece.

"General, Winster Bullman reports to you."

"Where have your troops gone? I have arrived at the battlefield and am about to charge the Russians, so you get to the battlefield as soon as possible, and we will see you on the battlefield. ”

"General, don't be impulsive, I've seen our helicopter formation, and within five minutes it will be an exchange of fire with the enemy, don't be impulsive."

"Give you five minutes at most, I won't see your troops within five minutes, and you will clean all the toilets in the officers' quarters in the barracks of the army in the future."

After Chen Dao finished speaking, he put down the microphone and asked the convoy to find a piece of bush to hide in the west of Zuravka village.

Chen Dao just called Colonel Bourman, commander of the Second Panzergrenadier Regiment under the "Imperial Marshal" Panzer Division.

The regiment was placed in reserve in the eastern part of the line by Major General Schumacher, while keeping a close eye on the positions of the 1st Infantry Division of the Honorable Jews.

On the way, Chen Dao had already contacted Colonel Bourman and asked them to cooperate with the 101st Special Air Service Regiment to launch a counter-assault on the Soviet armored forces.

The 2nd Panzergrenadier Regiment moved rapidly southward, not from the northwest, but from due north, directly behind the Soviet infantry group.

The 12 "Wasp" self-propelled howitzers of the regimental artillery battalion were the first to fire, and 105-mm high-explosive shells flew over the heads of German tanks and armored vehicles, firing the first shots of the counteroffensive.

On the ground, the No. 4 H Tank Battalion rushed to the front, and the Panzergrenadiers in SD KFZ 251 armored vehicles were behind, dragging a boundless cloud of yellow soot behind them.

Exhausted by fire from the air, the sudden appearance of Tank Group 4 crushed the Soviet troops in confusion in one fell swoop.

There was no T-34 tank cover on the flanks and rear, the vulnerable SU-122 self-propelled guns were directly exposed to the field of view of the No. 4H tank, the fragile body was simply not able to provide adequate protection, and 75-mm armor-piercing shells flew in, penetrated the body armor, and destroyed the SU-122 self-propelled gun.

In the first salvo, the six surviving SU-122 self-propelled guns were hit one after another, turning them into scrap steel on the battlefield, and the No. 4 tank group immediately turned its attention to the surviving Soviet tanks and infantry.

In front of the No. 3 assault gun blocking the road, behind the No. 4 H-tank outflanked, and there was a helicopter formation overhead, and the encircled Soviet infantry group fell into a one-sided slaughter.

The infantry fell one by one, whether it was a T-34 tank or a KV-85 heavy tank, which was besieged by armor-piercing shells, and the hull was covered with bullet holes, emitting black smoke and becoming metal coffins.

In the center of the battlefield, in the village of Zuravka, Captain Rabin sensed the arrival of the helicopter unit, but did not have time to rejoice.

The Soviet infantry and tanks that rushed into the village chased the fleeing troops and rushed all the way to the village, and he could only continue to retreat with his men.

The defeat was carried out until the middle of the village, where 20-mm shells and machine-gun bullets flew out in the corners of houses and bushes, and the Soviet infantry was covered with flesh and blood before stopping the tracking infantry.

The T-34 tank knocked down the broken wall and covered the infantry to continue the charge, but was destroyed by an oncoming 75-mm armor-piercing projectile.

Captain Rabin handed over the wounded to a meditator and returned to the line of fire himself.

Hiding with a machine gun crew in a house with a roof torn over, Captain Rabin's assault rifle fired several bursts in succession, killing two Soviet infantrymen rushing into the street outside the house, and was looking for a new target when a behemoth suddenly broke into his sight.

KV tanks, they even entered the village.

Captain Rabin was horrified to see the KV-85 heavy tank turn its turret and point it at the house where he was located.

Before he had time to think about it, he turned and ran to the side of the house, and with a leap of himself climbed over the broken wall on the side and rolled down into the street.

When he landed, Captain Rabin's waist hit a brick, and a sharp pain came from his waist, and he was so black in pain that he almost fainted.

There was a loud bang from the house where he had been staying, and a steel helmet flew into the sky, and dust and black smoke immediately rushed out of the house and rushed towards Captain Rabin.

"Ah······h Enduring the excruciating pain, Captain Rabin clutched his waist and struggled to his feet, leaning his body against the dilapidated building, then moving westward.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the KV-85 heavy tank had destroyed the fire point in the house, and then continued to drive along the street towards his position.

Dragging his waist in sharp pain, Captain Rabin moved to the corner of the wall, just in time to avoid the machine-gun bullets fired from the KV-85 heavy tank.

Feeling an M24 grenade and holding it in his hand, Captain Rabin stopped moving, and in less than 30 seconds, the tank would drive through here, and the infantry behind the tank would find themselves in a situation from which they could not escape.

The Russians have always been rough, and they must not fall into their hands alive, so it is the wisest choice to pull a grenade and die with them.

Holding the grenade, Captain Rabin cautiously looked at the KV-85 tank on the street, only to find that the tank was parked in the street with the muzzle pointing west and firing again.

"Damn, it's got someone else targeted." Captain Rabin subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction where the KV-85 tank was pointing, but saw a tall and powerful tank parked on the other side of the street.

E-40, it's E-40, when did we have this weapon.

Before Captain Rabin could figure out when the E-40 tank had entered the village, the E-40 tank erupted from its muzzle.

Captain Rabin looked at the KV-85 heavy tank again, and saw that there was an extra black hole in the front armor of the tank's hull, and a second 88mm armor-piercing projectile flew in, again leaving a round bullet hole in the front armor of the tank.

Captain Rabin was thrilled to see the E-40 tank driving towards him along the street, followed by a dozen infantrymen.

Are these reinforcements? When did they come?

In the western part of the village of Zuravka, Chen Dao saw four tanks and panzergrenadiers rushing into the village and cooperating with the defenders in launching a counter-charge, before throwing away the cigarettes he was holding.

Opening his mouth to exhale a puff of smoke, he turned to Major Bach and said: "Concentrating superior forces to encircle and annihilate the enemy is the secret of victory on the battlefield." One by one, you all advised me not to be impulsive, and I wondered, when did I ever be impulsive? See for yourselves, our troops are charging the Russians, what can they do with only four tanks, will the Russians be able to stop them? ”

Major Bach and the others looked at the battlefield in the distance, but they were speechless, and in their sight, they only had four tanks and a platoon of troops charging, and the Russians' troops were completely defeated, which was an ironclad fact.

It's just that there is always something not quite right, and it seems that the rout of the Russians and the charge of these four tanks are not necessarily related.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, Chen Dao gave the order.

"Alright, the gunfire has shifted to the east, and we can charge now."

The armored car in which Chen Dao was riding drove into the village of Zuravka one after the other with the radio communication vehicle, and Chen Dao lay down next to the machine gun on the front of the armored vehicle.

An infantryman supported Captain Rabin, who was limping and walking, walking on the side of the street, and saw two armored vehicles coming on, Captain Rabin looked up at the front of the armored car, and happened to see Chen Dao also looking down at him.

Recognizing Chen Dao, Captain Rabin hurriedly raised his right hand to salute, Chen Dao smiled and nodded, and with a slight wave of his right hand on the brim of his hat was a return salute, and the two passed by.

"Who are you saluting?"

Captain Rabin said: "It's General Rosen, I didn't expect him to come to the rescue with his troops in person." Just now, I really thought I was going to be done. ”
