After a very brief period of reflection on this, Admiral Hult immediately summoned all his staff officers and senior officers together for an urgent combat meeting. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After a lively discussion, all of them came to the characteristics of the current offensive of the Soviet army.

The First Soviet Army often carried out infiltration operations with surprise troops, taking the Germans by surprise, especially often sneaking up on key areas of the German army, and artillery positions.

The Second Soviet Army took advantage of the massive artillery coverage they now possessed, and the 24-hour air raids they had to continuously destroy the German artillery units, logistics and material transportation routes, as well as important places such as storage depots.

In addition, the Soviet army often concentrated a certain amount of artillery fire, suddenly attacked the German command headquarters, and constantly annihilated the middle and high-ranking officers and command organs of the German army, so as to undermine the battlefield command system of the German army.

Thirdly, the reserves of the German army were also constantly under the focus of Soviet artillery bombardment and air raids.

The Fourth Soviet Army disrupted the German forward lines of communication through constant assault warfare and air raids, prevented the movement of German reserves and combat movements, and cut off all German military supplies.

Fifth, the Soviet Army continued to wage large-scale armored warfare in depth in order to annihilate more German armored forces.

Faced with the current way the Soviets were fighting, Admiral Holt and his officers finally unanimously adopted the dodge tactics of the First World War.

In other words, when a large-scale Soviet attack is launched, the German troops will immediately abandon all front-line positions and retreat back to new, stronger defensive positions more than 2,000 meters away.

The result of this was that the Soviets had to stop again, organize their forces and the direction of the attack.

At the same time, it is also necessary to make more flexible use of the German army's elastic defense tactics.

In fact, the elastic defense tactics are similar to the evasion tactics just now, that is, when the Soviet army is attacking with all its might, the German army immediately vigilantly retreats to the strong defensive positions in the rear to avoid the Soviet attack.

Then they organized a counterattack with the fastest possible action, and before the Soviets had time to breathe and react, the Germans immediately recaptured their newly lost positions with lightning speed.

In addition, Admiral Hult also demanded that their artillery positions be moved to their preset reserve positions before the Soviet artillery cover attack began, and that the observation posts should also be moved.

When the German artillery was transferred to these reserve positions with sufficient ammunition and complete radio equipment, their artillery units could carry out artillery support operations for the German troops on the front line at critical moments, or carry out retaliatory counterattacks against the Soviet troops, and even play a key role in tactical reserves.

Because it is necessary to make their artillery units adopt flexible movement operations, they can ensure the victory of the German army's flexible defensive operations and hold on.

In addition, Admiral Hoult also specifically demanded that each artillery position should build four to five reserve positions, as well as three to four false positions, to mislead the Soviet artillery to cover the attack and keep his artillery positions safe.

In addition to these means, Admiral Holt also gave a death order to never allow German officers to enter the front command headquarters until the Soviet artillery was covered, in order to ensure the safety of the front officers.

In the end, in order to deal with the large-scale tank attack of the Soviet army, they deployed a large number of minefields and hundreds of thousands of anti-tank mines in the main position and in the rear area of more than 30 kilometers.

Because Admiral Hult not only used elastic defense tactics and evasion tactics, but also carried out area defense tactics together.

Therefore, in addition to constructing and laying a large number of minefield areas, he also had all the divisional anti-tank units deployed to the rear of the main front to occupy the safest and advantageous attack positions.

Of course, most of the artillery of the army group, medium anti-tank guns, and 88-mm anti-aircraft guns, will be set up in the large rear areas of the various anti-tank obstacle positions, and the tank concealment trenches will be dug to hide these weapons, so as to be prepared for a surprise attack on the Soviet tank group when the Soviet tank group is attacking, and the Soviet army will be caught off guard and won by surprise.

Moreover, in order to make the defensive tactics of this area more stable and avoid a breakthrough of the Soviet army, Admiral Hort also deployed his remaining reserves to key positions, in case the battle situation was critical.

Moreover, these reserves are also equipped with a lot of anti-tank guns and assault artillery, and even the 200 'Iron Fist anti-tank rocket launchers' that Chen Yanlong dispatched to Admiral Hult before the battle began, and a large number of rockets have also been prepared.

When Admiral Holt had prepared all sorts of defensive tactics in the face of danger, he and all his officers breathed a sigh of relief and put their minds at ease for a while.

"If we can get Moder's tank troops or other Army Group reinforcements now, then we can have a better chance of winning! At least we'll be able to defend here for a few more days! ”

Admiral Holt breathed a sigh of relief, then looked up at the cloudless sky and muttered to himself.

At this time, Moder's tank troops were also in a hurry.

"Quick! Everyone, hurry up! Don't slow things down! Admiral Holt's 4th Panzer Army Group is about to be overwhelmed! ”

The commander of the 47th Panzer Corps, Paner-General Reimerson, was still sitting in the same tank command vehicle as Staff Officer Hachlt, urging orders.

With his shouting, the entire 47th Armored Army did not have any objections, and kept hurrying on the road.

Of course, all the soldiers of the 23rd Infantry Corps also used all their physical strength to speed up the march in the midst of the shouting and scolding of their commander, Infantry General Johannesna.

As for the German troops transferred from the 2nd Army Group, they also marched hastily without complaint and regret with the encouragement of the chief of staff, Hakhert.

In fact, if their troops had not been regularly intercepted by the Soviet troops on the way, they would have approached Admiral Holt's defensive position more quickly and engaged in a joint battle.

Unfortunately, they were not only constantly disrupted by Soviet troops and intercepted by tank units, but also attacked by Soviet Harbsand rockets two hours earlier.

If it weren't for the timely dispatch of the German aviation unit to bomb the Soviet Katyusha rocket team, I am afraid that they would not only fall into a new battle, but also have a lot of casualties.

"Hey! What a lucky moment just now! If our Air Force hadn't suddenly passed here, I'm afraid we would be in trouble! Those Katyusha rockets of the Soviet army are really not easy to deal with! ”

After Panzer Admiral Lermerson had urged his troops to continue to accelerate forward, he suddenly turned to his staff officer Hachlt, who was beside him, and said to him.

"Yes! So we must rush to Admiral Hult as quickly as possible to provide support! Otherwise, we and his 4th Panzer Army Group will be in big trouble! ”

Staff Officer Hachert said with a solemn expression.

"Hmmm! I understand! ”

Seeing this, Panzer Admiral Laimerson also replied with a solemn face.

Immediately he stopped talking nonsense, but urged his troops even louder to move forward desperately.

"It's here! We finally saw Admiral Holt's troops! ”

An hour later, their reconnaissance unit soon heard the sound of cheerful cheers.
