Although it is not a good choice, it is a choice that has to be made now. 【】
This was a very risky approach, because it had to pass through two lines of Soviet Red Army defense on the way, and it was necessary to ensure that the troops could attack at the fastest speed, so the first wave of attacking troops had to be inserted at full speed and could not be accompanied by baggage troops.
Without the accompaniment of the baggage logistics troops, if there are casualties of equipment personnel on the way, if there are casualties of equipment personnel on the way, then these people and equipment will inevitably fall into the heavy encirclement of the Soviets and will not be able to take care of them at all.
This is a tough battle, but also a dangerous gamble, Li Ling must gamble everything to seek victory, in fact, why is he gambling on everything, the entire Central Army Group is gambling!
Li Ling was completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation, and von Bock, as the commander-in-chief of Army Group Center, pressed all the life-saving straws that saved the entire battle situation. On top of the head of the Huaxia First Division, and the decision was made without informing the Huaxia First Division of the seriousness of the incident, von Bock was also gambling!
The 1st Tank Brigade, the 6th Heavy Tank Brigade, and the division's self-propelled artillery detachment are the top ace units in the entire 1st Division of China.
Li Ling's division of troops was simple and rude, and all the Tiger tanks and Leopard tanks in the entire Huaxia First Division were sent out as assault forces, and the Lion self-propelled artillery detachment was also sent out, closely following the two tank brigades.
The Leopard tank and the Tiger tank can be effectively matched with high and low, and it seems understandable to act together as an assault force, but when Li Ling asked the Lion self-propelled artillery to accompany the action, it was immediately opposed by many people, who did not understand what to do with the self-propelled gun as an assault force.
Obviously, soon Li Ling gave a convincing answer to everyone, and the order required that the troops not only reach Baranovichi, but also must take Baranovichi, and the main task of the self-propelled artillery detachment is to attack Baranovichi, of course, it can also strike at the defense line of the Soviet Red Army on the way, clear the obstacles for the Tiger and Leopard tanks, and kick open the gates.
Since the specific battle plan did not need to be reported to the headquarters of the Central Army Group, the 1st Huaxia Division immediately mobilized and was soon divided into two armies.
It's just that when the troops really started, Li Ling suddenly told Kirsch to let Kirsch lead the first echelon to take on the task of the main attack, but he stayed behind and acted with the baggage troops.
Li Ling also had certain considerations for doing this, to assault forward, he did not believe that at this time the Soviet army had what kind of ability to pose a threat to a force composed entirely of Tiger tanks and Leopard tanks, but on the contrary, due to the rapid advance of the troops, then after this force went up, the Soviets would definitely quickly cut off the back road, that is to say, the remaining troops of the second echelon of the 1st Huaxia Division would face the interception of the Soviet Red Army again, and it was very likely to be a more powerful blockade.
However, among the remaining troops, except for the hundreds of No. 4 tanks and Lee-style tank destroyers of the Second Tank Brigade and the Fifth Composite Brigade, the rest are lightly armored targets, such troops are actually not much different from ordinary German troops, and they are completely unable to open up the equipment generation gap with the Soviet Red Army.
"If the troops are in front, we must pay attention to safety, if there is battle damage, we must minimize the losses, if the vehicle equipment is really immobile, throw it in place, take people with you as much as possible, and do not delay too much. Your mission is to bring your troops to Baranovichi before it gets dark today, and launch an attack there, and nothing else needs to be done! ”
After Li Ling told Kirsch again, he ordered his troops to go on the road, and he himself began to integrate the remaining half of the division.
To be honest, the removal of three full-formed brigades, the remaining troops should sound nothing difficult to integrate, but in fact it is far from as simple as imagined, due to the lack of elite forces as a periphery, how to ensure the safety of these fragile and very complex troops without slowing down the speed of movement has become a big problem.
The Fifth Composite Brigade, which consisted of the No. 4 Tank and the Li Type Tank Destroyer, was arranged by Li Ling at the front this time, while the Second Tank Brigade was split into two parts, located on the left and right flanks of the army, followed by two motorized infantry brigades, and in the middle of the two motorized infantry brigades were a series of miscellaneous troops, including division headquarters, rocket artillery regiments, logistics support detachments, and so on.
By the time the troops led by Li Ling finally began to move in full force, Kirsch's three brigades had already reached a distance of thirty kilometers, where they had encountered for the first time a large-scale Soviet army.
After thirty kilometers of travel, Kirsch and his wife finally came to a battlefield where a tank-to-tank duel was taking place.
A German tank regiment was fighting with more than thirty Soviet tanks, and a large number of Soviet infantry were involved, and the German tank regiment was obviously in great trouble, and this tank regiment was the tank regiment to which the fifteen destroyed tanks they encountered before belonged.
This German armored unit is equipped with a large number of No. 2 and No. 3 tanks, and even a certain number of No. 1 tanks, which should be regarded as the slowest equipment replacement unit in the German army.
However, due to the pre-war intelligence and the situation after the war, it was obvious that this unit was able to cope with the situation on the battlefield, so it was natural that the speed of the advance was a little fast, until they came here, in front of this line of defense formed by the Soviet Red Army, they finally suffered a crisis!
This crisis is not something that they can recover by virtue of their military literacy at all, this crisis is completely caused by the generation gap in weapons and equipment!
It's just that now, Li Ling is not here, if Li Ling is here, I am afraid that he will know what happened to the troops here for the first time, and even he can think of why von Bock asked the Huaxia First Division to take the risk of assault.
Here, it's Kirsch!
Kirsch didn't know what this tank was that was fighting the Germans, he only knew that it was a new Soviet tank that didn't look big, and it seemed to be a bit powerful!
"The 3rd Regiment of the 1st Tank Brigade stayed behind to protect the self-propelled artillery detachment, and the rest of the troops charged! At the same time, immediately contact the troops fighting in front, ask them to withdraw from the battle as soon as possible, and quickly tell me about the enemy's situation! ”
Kirsch watched one German tank after another being destroyed, and in front of this new Soviet tank, it seemed that the once invincible German tank became as thin as a piece of paper, and the indestructible tank gun seemed to be completely useless!
