Chapter 14: The Power of the 88 Cannons (Part II)
CHAPTER XIV
The power of the 88 cannon (II)
The 88 anti-aircraft guns hidden in the anti-artillery holes in the middle of the nameless hills began to roar, with a terrifying rate of fire of 15-20 rounds per minute, a range of more than 10,000 meters, and the first shot of the high-precision 88 guns exploded directly on the last engineering vehicle that drove on the Blue Bridge.
The engineering truck in front of them was panicked, they wanted to retreat, but the remnants of the engineering truck behind blocked their retreat, they wanted to rush forward, but the bridge was broken in front, and then the government soldiers who were driving hurriedly jumped off the engineering vehicle and ran back desperately, what bullshit order to repair the bridge had long been thrown into the back of the melon's head.
"Boom...... Boom ......"
The engineering vehicles that drove onto the bridge were live targets, one after another were beaten into parts, and the engineers who went to repair the bridge were also killed and wounded repeatedly, and the smoke and flames wrapped around the bridge were enveloped in the bridge, and there were panicked government soldiers everywhere, some of whom were ignited by the gasoline splashed after the explosion of the construction truck, and hurriedly jumped off the bridge into the river screaming, so that they might be able to save their lives.
Lieutenant General Feliza is the commander of the capital garrison division of the Spanish government army, the capital division is a rare elite unit in Spain, the Spanish capital division is a standard heavy armored division, the entire division is completely formed according to the heavy division of the United States, two armored regiments, three infantry regiments, an artillery regiment, an air defense battalion and other non-combat units.
The tanks of the two tank regiments of the Spanish capital division were all aided by the Soviet Union, one light tank regiment was equipped with 152 Soviet T20 light tanks, and one medium tank regiment was equipped with Soviet medium tanks - T28 tanks, T28 tanks were equipped with a dual-purpose short-barreled 76.2mm gun and three DT machine guns, one of which was a coaxial DT machine gun, and the other two were deployed on two forward turrets. The maximum road speed is 37 km/h, which is one of the fastest in its class. The off-road speed is 20 km/h, and the road trip is 220 km. Armor protection is 80mm thick and 20mm thin. The T-28 tank had a multi-wheel suspension with idlers in front and drive wheels in the back, and the disadvantage of this suspension was that the tank was prone to getting stuck in the mud. Poor performance, weak armor, box-shaped shape, poor balanced suspension, and low-penetration guns all proved to be a design failure.
The Soviet Union is also bankrupt to support Spain, they have selflessly aided the Spanish government army with all they can get their hands on, Spain also regarded the Soviet Union's aid tanks as treasures, most of them were arranged in the capital division, which is also the only armored division in the hands of the Spanish government army, the battle of Brunette City, forced Spain to send their trump card troops out to relieve the siege, their first task is to recapture the bridge and repair it, so as to provide a passage for subsequent reinforcements, Because behind them there were already two ready infantry divisions ready for battle.
Lieutenant General Felisa is also full of confidence, because from the intelligence from the aerial reconnaissance, the German Condor Regiment guarding the Bru Bridge is a reinforced company, and they have built two ring defensive positions piled up by countless sandbags on the Bru Bridge, as a native of Spain, Felisa of course knows what the soil quality of the Bru Bridge is like, even if the sandbag position is built perfectly, it will not be able to withstand the bombardment of large bombs, so Felisa asked the Air Force to use the precious 500 kg aerial bombs, Directly sent the German troops at the Bru Bridge to hell, in fact, Felisa really succeeded, the German troops stationed at the Bru Bridge were basically completely annihilated, and only one squad of soldiers was rescued by Li Mo by luck.
But the current situation gave Felisa a blow to the head, and Felisa was dizzy, and he sent the repair battalion on the Bru Bridge, with heavy casualties, and several engineering vehicles were all scrapped, you must know that the repair of large bridges, without the help of engineering equipment, is basically impossible to complete by manpower, and the German artillery hidden on the other side of the Bru Bridge will sneak attack from time to time, so that Felisa basically has no chance to repair the Bru Bridge, and the only way is to completely annihilate the hidden German troops on the opposite bank.
Feliza ordered one of his infantry regiments, Giselle, to lead an infantry battalion to immediately swim to the other side of the river, the Horta River is the largest river in Spain, even if it is now a dry season, the width of the river is more than 500 meters, if it is armed to swim crossing, it will be a lot of tests for every soldier. Felisa also had no choice, he didn't prepare the boat bridge at all before leaving, and now he can only send troops to directly eliminate the dozens of German troops who are hidden, and then he can rest assured that the Blue Bridge will be repaired.
In Felisa's eyes, the German troops on the other side of the Bru Bridge are at most dozens of fish that have slipped through the net, judging from the shelling just now, these dozens of Germans only have one 88 mm anti-aircraft gun, and the position they occupy is a hilly mountain 1,500 meters away from the Bru Bridge, this position is excellent, the entire Bru Bridge is within the range of the German 88 guns, basically there are no dead ends, and now he sends a battalion of soldiers to swim over, and he can definitely wipe out these dozens of damn German troops. Felisa is also a relatively capable general, otherwise he would not sit on the throne of the commander of the capital division, he ordered Giselle to cross the river to fight, and urgently asked the capital to send boat bridge troops and engineering vehicles to support, so that the two-pronged approach is also a foolproof plan, from this order Feliza is definitely not a mediocre talent.
Li Mo has been observing the situation on the other side, when more than 500 soldiers from a battalion of government troops began to assemble, these soldiers did not know where to find the wood, which may have been used to repair the Bru Bridge, and now it has become a tool for these soldiers to prepare to cross the river, and the two government soldiers carried a log and began to cross the river by the Bru Bridge.
Seeing this, Li Mo smiled, thinking, I don't know if the commander on the other side is funny, hasn't the shelling just now woken them up, the 88 guns in their hands are not vegetarians, don't they know to cross the river far away from the Blue Bridge? It is very important to cross the river under their noses, do they think that they have no shells for their 88 guns?
Since the enemy is coming to find death, Li Mo will not be polite, and turned his head to the commander of the 88th artillery and ordered:
"Brother, give me a good greeting to those government troops who don't know the height of the sky! They dare to cross the river right under our noses, they are simply a bunch of people who don't know whether they live or die, their commander is really stupid, and it is really a soldier's sorrow to follow such a commander. ”
Felisa ordered Giselle to cross the river to attack the remnants of the German army on the other side, but Giselle did not know about the change, because Felisa did not set a location for Giselle to cross the river, and Giselle chose to cross the river nearby.
"Quick, brother, two people and one log, let's go over and annihilate all those damned German troops, they are at most a platoon of troops."
