Heinz Landau quickly discovered the problem. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He couldn't help gritting his teeth and secretly scolded this group of Chinese for being as cunning as foxes, maybe Rommel's nickname of "Desert Fox" should be given to the Chinese.

After thinking about it, Heinz Landau ordered: "First battalion, attack!" ”

Heinz Landau's decision may have been the right one.

The advantage of the Chinese army is that it has more space to move quickly, and if the German army wants to change this disadvantage, it must use the offensive to expand its own space, especially the German army has always been good at attacking.

On the other hand, because the Germans had the "Tiger" tank, its heavy front armor was like an impenetrable shield for the enemy, which could cover the tank group of the Chinese army closer to the No. 4 tank and fight a close battle, which also determined that the offensive would be more advantageous.

However, the Chinese army had been prepared for this for a long time, and they saw that the German tanks were "rumbling" with full horsepower, and did not meet them to fight head-on, and still walked diagonally in circles outside.

Then, in order to pursue the target, the army tank naturally followed the diagonal line.

At the beginning, there was nothing, the two sides opened fire on each other while moving, and there were casualties among each other, depending on who could shoot accurately or kill the opponent one step ahead of the enemy.

It didn't take long for the German 1st Tank Battalion to discover that their team was actually surrounded and flanked by two enemy battalions...... Another part of the Chinese tank battalion came diagonally and happened to face the flank of the German tank battalion.

Seeing this, Heinz Landau couldn't help but be shocked, and was about to send another tank battalion to reinforce it, but he thought about it: Wouldn't the other battalion still end up in the same fate?

So he hurriedly changed the order: "Listen to my orders and break through!" ”

Another meaning of a breakout is to retreat...... The direction of the German breakthrough could not have been the direction of the Chinese army, and if it was, it was actually drilling from a small encirclement into a larger one.

Therefore, Heinz Landau knew that the plan could not be implemented smoothly, so he chose to give up.

Compared with the past, the retreat of the German 21st Panzer Division was very orderly: one "Tiger" was responsible for breaking through, and the other two "Tiger" were each carrying a batch of No. 4 tanks, and they covered each other and fought and retreated all the way to their own defensive line.

Seeing this, Zhang Chi ordered at the walkie-talkie: "Withdraw, don't chase anymore!" ”

"General!" Wu Min was fighting hard, and when he heard this, he replied a little unwillingly: "Give us a few more minutes......"

"Retreat!" Zhang Chi ordered: "Obey the order!" ”

"Yes!" Wu Min reluctantly responded, and had to order the troops to retreat.

However, Wu Min soon realized that Zhang Chi's order was correct, because after a while, there was a whistling of shells in the night sky, and then the shells exploded in the back of the German tank group.

Seeing this, Wu Min couldn't help but feel glad secretly, if he continued to pursue just now, he was afraid that he would be hit by a round of artillery now.

This battle was somewhat unexpected, and an ambush failed to inflict much damage on the Germans...... The Germans lost more than 50 tanks of various types, and the Chinese army also lost more than 30 tanks, and there was no big gap in battle losses.

This made Zhang Chi frown when he returned to the headquarters.

When Staff Officer Liang saw Zhang Chi like this, he handed over a cigarette and asked, "General, why do you look unhappy after winning the battle?" Is it because there are not enough destroyed enemy tanks? ”

"Sort of!" Zhang Chi silently took the cigarette.

"The German devils are not the same as before!" After lighting the cigarette, Staff Officer Liang said: "Compared to the 21st Armored Division at the time of Maherama, this is completely different!" ”

"It should be different!" Zhang Chi replied.

"How?" Staff Officer Liang asked.

"First of all, the equipment is different!" Zhang Chi replied: "This is the 'Tiger' type and the No. 4, which is different from the 21st Armored Division at the time of Maherama!" ”

Staff Officer Liang nodded, this is what everyone knows.

"The second is that the vigilance is different!" Zhang Chi continued: "In the past, the opponent of the German devils was the British, and the British drove all those infantry tanks, and almost only took the beating, so in the Battle of Maherama, the Germans had no defense against us, thinking that we were similar to the British!" ”

"Makes sense!" Staff Officer Liang agreed.

In tonight's battle, the Germans were ready for battle from the beginning of the march, which is one of the reasons why they did not suffer much losses, otherwise if they had marched in a long serpentine formation...... It had to be surrounded by the Chinese army in several sections.

"The point is ......" Zhang Chi casually picked up the photo of the "Tiger" tank on the table, shook it, and said: "Where did these tanks come from?!" ”

Staff Officer Liang didn't understand what Zhang Chi meant at first, and then nodded "oh" one after another.

If the crew of the "Tiger" tank is the elite of the German tank crew, then how can the No. 4 tank be an ordinary person?

Just like tonight, the tanks were always able to organize the right defense or attack at the right time, and the Tiger tank cooperated almost perfectly with the No. 4 tank and even with the infantry, and even two teams of tanks exchanged cover for the retreat, and there was a shelling break before the end...... All this was difficult to accomplish even during the day, while the Germans were able to do it in an orderly manner at night.

"What does the general mean ......" Staff Officer Liang asked, "they are most likely veterans who have been withdrawn from the Soviet-German battlefield?!" ”

Zhang Chi nodded: "Yes, this time we have met an opponent!" ”

In fact, Zhang Chi's guess can't be said to be all right, these tanks were actually shipped from Germany, and the tank soldiers are indeed veterans, but they were not transferred from the Soviet-German battlefield, but the soldiers who returned to China to recuperate after being wounded on the Soviet-German battlefield...... The Germans have always believed that tanks are used for offense, and Germany has shifted from offensive to defensive in the Soviet theater, so tanks are of little use.

So Hitler switched it to the North African theater.

What is conceivable is that this group of German tank soldiers is not only well-trained, but also has "died" on the battlefield, and their psychological quality and other aspects are slightly better than ordinary soldiers, and it is often this "slight advantage" on the battlefield that determines the entire battle situation.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chi ordered: "Let the soldiers hurry up and do a good job of concealing the tank, there may be a fierce battle to fight tomorrow!" ”

"Yes!" Staff Officer Liang immediately conveyed the order.
