Chapter 221: Blitzkrieg (Medium)
Therefore, not only the infantry is afraid of artillery, but also the tank armor soldiers, and for the tank armorers, the most worthy of fear is the direct fire artillery hidden by the opponent. For tank armorers, a direct 105-mm grenade may not destroy the tank, but the appearance of the tank will also be seriously damaged, and the people in the car will also be shocked by the shock wave and lose their combat effectiveness! If it is a 152 mm or 155 mm grenade, although the tank will not be pierced through the armor by a direct shot, it may also be thrown over the turret and the car will be destroyed! This is true for tanks, not to mention other armored vehicles.
It is not unreasonable for Li Mo to separately request the deployment of the air force for his armored division, with these air "nannies", it is very difficult for the enemy to hide a certain number of large-caliber cannons, even if the enemy installs these large-mouth cannons in reinforced concrete pillboxes, a 500-kilogram bomb will be smashed down from a height of thousands of meters, and in a violent explosion, even if it is 10 meters thick steel and concrete, it will be penetrated, even if it is not blown up, the sound waves and shock waves generated by the explosion of 500 kilograms of aerial bombs, will cause serious damage to the internal organs of the people in the bunker, split the eardrum, and the hope of life is almost zero.
As soon as the cannon on Li Mo's side sounded, countless huge black smoke rose from the position of the Polish army, and the power generated by the explosion of 150 mm shells was enough to blow up a large crater three meters deep and seven or eight meters in diameter, and the trenches of the Polish army were only as deep as they were, and they would not exceed 1.8 meters, otherwise how could people stand up and put their guns, even the anti-artillery holes would not be able to withstand a 150 cannon.
"Boom...... Boom ......"
The entire Polish position was filled with gunsmoke, countless human stumps and various gun parts. Brought into the sky by a violent explosion, those things were just about to fall, but there was a violent explosion below, continuing to carry these things to higher ground, if any unfortunate Polish army was blown into the air by a cannonball, what was waiting for him was only to turn into shredded meat.
Of course, the Polish army also thought about shelling, but the planes in the air would soon swoop down with a scream, "Woo woo...... Boom ...... "A 500-kilogram or 250-kilogram aerial bomb can directly return any cannon to the state of parts, and it can be said that Li Mo's attacking troops only dropped dozens of sparse shells, and there was no sound. It seems that the artillery units of the Polish army were largely cleaned by aircraft in the air. Even if it is not cleared, when air supremacy is lost and enemy planes are still circling in the air, no artilleryman dares to remove the camouflage fire of the artillery. That would be tantamount to looking for death.
The sparse shelling of the Polish army was not without results. The Polish army had a 150-mm shell and the blind cat hit the dead mouse. The first tank of the 7th Light Panzer Division was destroyed since the beginning of the war, and the two destroyed tanks were still the No. 4 tank, the most advanced tank in Germany at present. Not one of them.
The destroyed tank number is 1234, that is, to send Li Mo to the command post, and then hurriedly to catch up with the unlucky tank of the large army in front, after the commander sent Li Mo again, his No. 4 tank drove fast, and the speed was also increased to the extreme, the No. 1234 tank was like a wild horse, galloping on the Polish plain, and several powerful Polish artillery shells fell from time to time in the distance, and the gunpowder smoke from the explosion was more than ten meters high, and it seemed that the Polish artillery was using a cannon of about 150 mm to shoot, Tank No. 1234 didn't care about the shelling, like this sparse shelling, to hit the Mercedes-Benz No. 4 tank, not even a 1 in 100,000 chance, that knew that suddenly a shell hit the top of the No. 1234 tank directly.
"Boom...... Boom ......"
The violent explosion of the 150-mm shell instantly overturned the turret of the No. 1234 tank, and the violent vibration made the heavy body of the No. 1234 tank bounce, and the ammunition in the No. 1234 tank was detonated, "boom ......"
Poor tank No. 1234 instantly returned to the state of parts, and the tank crew inside disappeared without a trace, and there was not even a slag left. Of course, Bismarck did not know what happened to Tank 1234, but found that Tank 1234 could not be contacted, and it was impossible to send people to find Tank 1234 at this critical moment of the attack. Li Mo, a stubborn bull, because of his stubbornness, finally made his subordinates pay the price of their lives, I don't know how Li Mo would feel after knowing the tragic experience of the No. 1234 tank.
This incident also shows that the advanced tanks are not invincible, and they must work together to give full play to their overall advantages, and the theory of the invincibility of a weapon is absolutely undesirable, and the M1 series tanks of the Yankees in later generations are advanced enough, and the armor is also the most advanced depleted uranium armor, and it is not killed and disabled by roadside bombs.
According to aerial reconnaissance, the entire Polish army's defense line was more than 20 kilometers long and 3 kilometers deep, and a total of three lines of defense were arranged, and the pillboxes arranged on the defense line have now become ruins of various shapes, and even the trenches of the Polish army are full of holes, and under such fierce shelling, I don't know how many Polish troops can pick up their weapons alive.
Bismarck, with his own tank assault group, soon rushed more than 500 meters in front of the Polish position:
"Ask the artillery to stop firing, the tank assault group has reached the attack position......" Bismarck's request quickly became a reality, and the coordination of the 7th Light Armored Division was very rapid.
"The 1st Tank Battalion, as the spearhead group, is behind you is the 11th Battalion of Half-track Armored Vehicles to provide you with machine-gun fire cover, the 2nd Tank Battalion and the 12th Battalion of Half-Track Armored Vehicles, you are responsible for expanding the breakthrough and annihilating the remaining enemy, and the 3rd Tank Battalion, ready to reinforce ...... at any time"
The armored assault group can be all mechanized, the infantry following the tank is all mounted on the half-track armored vehicle that follows behind, as soon as the tank in front encounters fierce resistance from the enemy infantry, the armored vehicle that follows behind will immediately release the infantry squad carried above, and the front supports the tank in front, and there is an armored vehicle behind each tank, which is loaded with a squad of soldiers, carrying a box of "iron fist" anti-tank rockets, a MG42, 10 MP38 submachine guns, and a 50mm mortar, At the same time, there are 3 MG42 general-purpose machine guns on the armored vehicle, and these fires will mercilessly tear through the enemy who thinks of sneaking up on the tank.
This kind of firepower configuration is much stronger than China's armored 74th Army, China because of its national strength, can not be equipped with so many armored vehicles, they provide infantry for the tank are on foot to follow the tank forward, a fully armed soldier, how far can run, five kilometers is the limit, but also to fight, physical exertion is extremely great, so China's armored 74th Army's in-depth assault is often limited by the physical strength of the infantry fighting with the tank.
But the German tank troops will not have such restrictions, and the soldiers who cooperate with the tanks are all carried by armored vehicles, and they can get off the car when they need to fight, which greatly ensures the assault distance of the tank troops, as long as there is oil and ammunition supply, they can basically attack continuously for more than 12 hours, until the soldiers are so tired that they want to sleep.
"Bump...... Rumble...... Dada......"
