Chapter 145: The 12th Armored Regiment of the SS on the battlefield
"You give me a good listen, Comrade Bukalov! I will now send you another 600 tanks and 600 Katyusha rocket launchers to counterattack the invading German troops, and if you lose again, then you will no longer be the commander of the 13th Army, and I will wait for a court-martial! ”
Seeing such a wretched performance of his heralds, General Rokossovsky suddenly became even more angry; He no longer looked at the herald, and scratched his head at Commander Bukarov in serious warning. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Hearing such a major threat warning, Commander Bukarov's heart sank for a moment; His head was blank, and he even couldn't help but shiver.
"I'm sure you'll defeat those fascist Germans! Thank you, General Rokossovsky, for giving me the opportunity to make amends! ”
But soon he was ruthless in his heart, made up his mind to die, stared at General Rokossovsky with sharp eyes, saluted a standard Soviet military salute, and said in a loud voice.
"Good! Don't let me down again! You have to know that Comrade Stalin's temper is not very good, he will not give me and you too many chances to make mistakes! But don't worry, while you meet the Germans, I will immediately give you all the remaining artillery for you to fight, and all of them will be replenished with enough ammunition. ”
"Especially our 203-mm heavy guns, I want them to try the horrors of our hellish artillery coverage, the army of our Union of Soviet Republics is all the toughest! We will never lose, and we will not lose you! We don't want you to be slaves to the country! ”
Rokossovsky suddenly dissipated his anger, smiled very confidently, and said in an affirmative tone.
At this moment, the Generalissimo of the Soviet Army, who was known as one of the troika of the Soviet Army along with Zhukov and Konev in the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union during World War II; He finally regained his calm and calm state of mind.
"Yes! General Rokossovsky! I will definitely get those German soldiers out of our homeland! For the sake of our great motherland, I am willing to sacrifice and pay all the costs to defend my family and country! ”
As if infected by the other party, Commander Bukarov also rekindled his strong self-confidence, and shouted with full anger.
"That's my good officer! Since you have made such a big decision, then I will draw a batch of air forces from our 16th Air Force to come and support them! And most of these fighters will be La-7 and Yak-9 fighter groups! ”
General Rokossovsky smiled with satisfaction.
"Thank you! The love of General Rokossovsky! ”
Commander Bukarov was immediately moved, and once again saluted a standard military salute in response.
At this moment, the inner complaints and grievances he had just had just now disappeared.
Instead, he is willing to be grateful, grateful for the other party's kindness to him, and he now does not dare to call each other by the title of comrade.
"Good! Let's go to war! I'll support you in the rear! And the 70th and 48th armies will also support you at any time! ”
Senior General Rokossovsky said in an encouraging tone.
Commander Bukarov nodded, then turned around in great strides and hurried away.
General Rokossovsky, on the other hand, restrained his smile and fell into deep thought.
He was now thinking about how to deploy his forces, although the battle damage report just now, his 13th Army was losing a lot of weapons and equipment, and artillery, aircraft, etc.!
However, the number of their infantry was not satisfied with how much they were badly damaged, at least for him, who had more than 710,000 troops, more than 10,000 Soviet troops killed on the battlefield was a very small number.
Moreover, the total strength of the 13th Army alone was 115,000 men, and the night bombers and fighter groups that were completely annihilated were not the 16th Army of the Air Force under his command, but were transferred from other units by the General Command.
Thinking, thinking, in the end, he slowly walked back to his combat map to study the deployment of his troops.
His current disposition was essentially to place the 70th, 13th, and 48th Armies in front of Moder and in the vicinity of the 9th Army.
The second line of troops was the 2nd Guards Tank Army, which consisted of the 11th and 16th Guards Tank Corps, respectively; and the 11th Guards Tank Brigade, as well as the 9th and 19th Tank Corps of the Reserve; and the 60th, 112th and 194th Infantry Divisions; As well as the 115th Infantry Brigade, the 28th Ski Brigade......
"The three main elements of war are time, reserves and armament! O Moder! Moder! I really underestimated the general of your small army this time! I wonder how you play these three elements of war! ”
After thinking for a moment, General Rokossovsky suddenly showed a hint of competitiveness and said with a smile.
"But organizational skills and the record of the troops are the prerequisites for military victory, and can you manage the invaders like yours who have lost their conscience and committed all kinds of evil to defeat us? Moder! Hahaha! ”
But soon, General Rokossovsky laughed dismissively.
The SS 12th Panzer Regiment was armed with new Leopard tanks, all of which had a new KWK 75 mm long barrel and a 72 times diameter main gun; Muzzle velocity is 1150 m / s.
Moreover, it also has an excellent optical sighting system, as well as the effective range of the KWK 75 mm gun or an 8.8 fuze armor-piercing projectile, up to 2000 meters.
In other words, the enemy at a distance of 2,000 meters can be annihilated.
In addition to the armored skirts on both sides of the hull, one MG34 anti-aircraft machine gun and one MG34 front machine gun were added to the auxiliary armament.
And while General Rokossovsky was laughing at Moder and his troops, the 12th Panzer Regiment of the SS, which had just entered the battlefield, was waiting for their armored reconnaissance battalion to return to the enemy.
It wasn't long before the companies received the enemy telegram from the Soviet positions in front of them through the Fu2 receiver in the Leopard tank.
The Soviet tanks reported in the telegram had at least 80 T-34 tanks assembled at a distance of more than 5,000 meters.
And behind these tank groups there were also a large number of artillery groups, as well as infantry groups, and a large number of fortifications; as well as trenches for operations, and anti-aircraft bunkers......
