Chapter 1131: The Infantry Division Encircles the Mechanized Regiment

The army continued to move forward, and the infantry walking on foot in front saw something from afar.

"Commander, there are traces of a firefight ahead." Soon, the news came back.

Alexander stood on his command car, he looked ahead with a telescope, and soon he saw the burning tank that was still smoking, and from the outline, it could be seen that it was his own Soviet tank, and some of them had red stars on the turrets!

Here, a tank battle has just taken place, and your own tank units have been killed! Suddenly, Alexander was shocked in his heart: "Quick, stop advancing!" ”

At this time, they were still two or three kilometers away from the location where the Soviet tank units were destroyed, and they stopped advancing, it was terrible, those dozens of tanks were burning, which showed that there were at least regimental German armored units nearby!

Armored troops fight infantry, it is as easy as cutting melons and eating beans, and if their mechanized regiment really collides, then it will be a big trouble!

Stop moving forward!

All the soldiers stopped, they also saw those still burning tanks in the distance, and at this time, they were also shocked in their hearts, where are the Germans? How did you not see the tanks of the Germans?

"Snort!" At this moment, a chainsaw-like sound suddenly sounded around them, and with this terrible sound, countless bullets poured towards them, and they had entered the encirclement of the German 42nd Army!

Countless Soviet soldiers on the periphery fell screaming, they looked around with frightened eyes, and there was a dense rain of bullets everywhere!

"Quick, retreat, retreat immediately!" Alexander shouted loudly that his side had fallen into the encirclement of the Germans, and now it was undoubtedly safest for his side to jump out of the encirclement and take the road they had just walked.

Countless horses neighed, these horses were not war horses at all, most of them were the most ordinary horses, used to carry supplies for camels, and when they heard the gunshots, these horses were also surprised.

A horse actually went in the direction of the machine gun, and behind it, there was a carriage carrying rifles and machine gun bullets, and at this time, the hand in the carriage was very anxious, almost standing up and pulling the reins.

It didn't work, the horse was still galloping, and then, the rain of bullets on the opposite side covered the horse.

The horse let out a miserable neigh, it was hit by a dozen bullets, its front legs fell to its knees, and the carriage behind it was still rushing up, breaking its ribs.

The rider in the carriage was also thrown from the carriage, and then the most terrible sound was heard.

"Boom!" The ammunition on the carriage was exploded, and in the huge explosion, a fireball appeared in everyone's sight, a black mushroom cloud rose, and the horses and hands were all blown into meat scraps at this moment.

More than a dozen regimental field guns, which were deployed at the rear, were pulled by horses, and when gunfire was heard from all sides, the artillerymen were suddenly very anxious, they cut the ropes of the horse-drawn field guns, and then, turned over on horseback.

Run! At least their way has not been blocked, and now, whoever runs fast will be able to leave.

As for playing the role of their artillery? They didn't have that time, and by the time they had set up their cannons, the other side's shells would have already flown over.

The reason why they fled immediately was because in their eyes, they thought that the German armored forces were right in front of them! Otherwise, how were those tanks destroyed?

If they could have looked a little closer, they could hear gunfire all around, interspersed with a few small-caliber infantry guns at most, but there was no sound of high-pressure tank guns firing at all.

Anyway, the regimental commander had already ordered a retreat, and if they had brought artillery, they would definitely not be able to escape.

It's just that although they didn't have a cannon with them, they couldn't run away.

When they galloped backwards, they also saw a scene that made them extremely worried.

On both sides of the rear, two mechanized units appeared, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, which were rapidly maneuvering towards their rear, intending to plug the opening.

Most of Germany's motorized infantry divisions are ten-ton off-road trucks, and most of the infantry march in this way, but this does not prevent them from having a small amount of advanced equipment.

For example, the Stalker tank destroyer, for example, a battalion of wheeled infantry fighting vehicles.

The number is not very large, but at this time, it can definitely play the greatest role.

The infantry fighting vehicles on both sides quickly approached the middle, and their speed was much faster than that of their horses, and in this way, those troops who were at the rear, intending to break away from the encirclement, watched as the other side completed the encirclement!

The door of the infantry fighting vehicle opened, and a soldier with a 6.8 mm submachine gun rushed out of the room, using the infantry fighting vehicle as a cover to form a temporary position.

The encirclement has been closed!

"Tom, tom!" On the infantry fighting vehicles, the 40mm Bofors tank guns are constantly spitting out tongues of fire, and the first targets they want to kill are those abandoned field guns.

The main forces of the 42nd Army, the 87th Infantry Division, near Grodno, surrounded a Soviet mechanized infantry regiment! This surrounded army will only take a short time to be eaten!

In the whole land of the Soviet Union, such scenes are constantly being staged, although the tactics of the German blitzkrieg have been studied, but when the war with the Germans is really started, the Soviets are still beaten to the point that they can't touch the north.

As both sides continued to move troops to Grodno, the fighting here became more and more intense.

At this time, in the other direction, the Southern Corps, too, was about to start a large-scale tank battle.

The Stelle River, a moat that is not a moat, temporarily blocked the Viking Division's attack, and time passed little by little.

Compared to Pavlov's headless flies of the army of the Western Special Military District, the command of the Soviet Southwestern Front was more thoughtful, and with the Germans held back at the Stry, a large number of troops in the rear, including the main tank forces, were advancing towards the Dubno-Lutsk-Rivne area.

It was advantageous for the South-Western Front to delay time, and as their troops marched forward, the tactics of blocking and then counterattacking the Germans were slowly unfolding!

And the Germans, who were blocked, certainly did not watch the situation deteriorate.

The sky slowly darkened, and on the side of the bridge, gunshots were heard from time to time, and the Soviets on the opposite side were hindering the German sappers from repairing the bridge, and as long as they approached, they used machine gun fire, and in order to protect the remaining part of the bridge, the German troops did not dare to use artillery fire to return fire, so it fell into a stalemate.

This is, of course, a trick, in order to confuse the Soviets on the opposite side, the Viking division could not rely on this broken bridge at all.
