Chapter 198: It's Time for Us to Give Them a Little Color

Hearing this, Panzer General Laimerson and Chief of Staff Hachert also showed overjoyed smiles. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

It wasn't long before they joined up with the remnants of Hort's 4th Panzer Army Group.

After that, they had a brief meeting together to discuss how to deal with the tactical operations of the Soviet army.

The meeting was not very long, but their opinions were almost identical.

The offensive tactics of the Soviet army are still not much different from the successful tactics of Tsarist Russia during World War I; They all concentrated massive firepower, covered the enemy with artillery, and constantly tried to penetrate through weak points in the enemy's defensive line.

In particular, the generals and commanders of the Soviet army preferred to infiltrate the enemy through forests and depressions.

To put it simply, the Soviet army relied on its huge numerical superiority in strength and weaponry to fight against the enemy.

After hours of concentrated artillery fire, mortar, and rocket artillery fire, the Soviets will try to use large numbers of infantry to open a breakthrough in the enemy's lines.

After the breakthrough was opened, the Soviets would deploy a large number of armored forces to carry out a deep assault in order to gain the advantage of the tank group to maneuver.

For tactical operations against the Soviet army, Admiral Holt has already made arrangements.

When Staff Officer Hachult listened to Admiral Hoth's disposition, he was also very much in favor of them, and did not have any opinions or objections.

It's just that there is another headache for them, that is, the elastic defense tactics they are going to carry out now require a large number of reserves to assist in the battle, so that they can achieve a relatively long-term victory.

The soldiers of Admiral Hort's 4th Panzer Army Group were already killed and wounded by two-thirds and were almost disabled.

For the few remaining troops, Admiral Holt's defensive positions have been constantly shrinking the front of the battle line, trying to save as many troops as possible.

However, no matter how he saves troops, in the face of the Soviet army's large-scale strength and numerical superiority in weapons and equipment, it is simply not enough.

Although Admiral Hult has now received tens of thousands of reinforcements from Moder, compared with the hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops and the more than a million troops, it is simply a pitiful number of troops.

"It seems that the shortage of troops and the shortage of weapons and equipment are the biggest threats we have now!"

Towards the end of the meeting, Admiral Hult sighed weakly.

"Yes! Although the individual quality and combat ability of our imperial soldiers are stronger than those of the Soviet army, we can use the advantages of our soldiers in this regard to make up for our disadvantages, but if we fight with the Soviet army here for too long, I am afraid that the individual combat advantage of our troops will be lost! ”

Panzer Admiral Lemonson also sighed.

"Actually, you two don't have to worry so much! Because of these advantages and disadvantages, our head of state has already seen it, and he has also dispatched a lot of new weapons and equipment to bring to me for you to carry out flexible defensive operations! And it's also important to note that the Führer didn't ask us to stick to a certain place, or a certain region, as he did before! ”

"That is to say, we will fight if we have fought, and if we can't defeat the Soviet army, we will retreat immediately! And Admiral Hoth, you've been delaying the Soviet forces here for some time! So I believe that Marshal Manstein's Army Group South should have also been evacuated for a long distance! ”

"So our next battle with the Soviet army now should be to continue to fight after the fight, and if we can't fight, we will retreat while stopping their advance, and often take surprise attacks on the Soviet army to consume their living forces!"

"Of course, with regard to the tactics of surprise attacks, I very much agree with what the Führer often tells us to lure the enemy deeper, divide the enemy into small groups, and then concentrate our superior forces to break the enemy's troops one by one!"

Looking at Admiral Hort, who looked worried, Chief of Staff Hahelt suddenly interjected.

"I agree with you! Chief of Staff Hakhert! Because our current superiority in strength is still incomparable with the superiority of the Soviet army! I can't think of a better way to fight than this! ”

Admiral Hult sighed and agreed.

"In addition to what I have just said, the Führer's constant tactics to me and Admiral Moder are to rely on the march and the terrain to win the war! We were even able to rely on terrain and marching to transform one army into more than 10 troops in the war zone, interspersed with elusiveness! ”

"And in a place where the enemy did not expect it, a sudden raid battle against them! Kill the enemy army by surprise and suffer heavy casualties! ”

Chief of Staff Hakhult continued.

"I haven't tried this method of fighting that you and the Führer said! But now we can try it too, or it will be of great use! ”

After hearing this, Admiral Hult pondered for a while and then nodded in agreement.

"It will definitely work! Because I believe what the Führer said! Because he has made General Moder win many battles recently! ”

Chief of Staff Hakhult responded in a firm tone.

Admiral Hoult did not reply, but stared at the other with blazing eyes.

And at this time, the Soviet offensive was launched again.

On the new defensive front of the German army, the mortar groups, artillery groups and various artillery groups of the Soviet army were covered by artillery fire one after another.

In the roaring artillery fire, the soldiers of the entire German frontline positions felt the shock of the ground shaking like a mountain.

In particular, Soviet bomber groups also took part in the bombing and carried out dense bombing.

and the persistent and piercing sound of the attack of the Soviet army's Katyusha rocket artillery group, which is even more terrifying.

Finally, there is the large-caliber siege howitzer of the Soviet army, and the intensive artillery attack.

It made the scalp of the German troops on the front line numb, and they wanted to evacuate to the rear immediately to take refuge.

"These ghostly Soviet troops, it seems that it is time for us to give them a little color! Or maybe they think we're soft ruffians! ”

Listening to the increasingly deafening artillery attack, Chief of Staff Hakhult said with a gloomy face.

"I agree! Especially Rybalko and his 3rd Guards Tank Army, I would love to wipe them out! ”

Admiral Holt echoed bitterly.

"This Soviet general is not easy to deal with! Admiral Moder has also suffered a lot in his hands! If the Führer had given us a lot of new tanks, I am afraid that we would have lost even more tankmen and tanks in his hands! ”

Chief of Staff Hakhult said with a solemn face.

"Then let's find a way to kill him now!"

Before Admiral Hult could reply, Panorama Lemerson, who had been silent, suddenly said confidently and with a bright smile.

"Hey! Good idea! Admiral Laimerson! ”

Hearing this, Admiral Hult was slightly stunned for a moment, but also responded with a confident smile that had not been seen for a long time.

"Since you both have so much faith, then I'll go with you and kill him! Anyway, it's time for them to try the power of the new tank group that the Führer has sent to us! ”

Seeing this, Chief of Staff Hachert also put away his worries and said with a smile.

Then the three of them laughed and went to prepare tank groups and forces to prepare for dealing with Rybalko, his 3rd Guards Tank Army, and other invading Soviet troops!

Of course, this time they asked for air support from the 4th and 6th Air Armies, and they were quickly responded.

Because these air forces have already obtained Chen Yanlong, the latest order given to them is to protect the safe evacuation of Manstein's Army Group South.

Therefore, they did not shrink down as they have done in recent times to familiarize themselves with and conduct special training on the new fighter group.
