After summarizing the results of two infantry regiments and a tank detachment with an artillery company, Andrei reported the results to his superiors: "The results of our division have been counted. After two battles, our division destroyed a total of 37 German tanks, 5 armored vehicles, 12o trucks, killed 176o enemy people, captured 129 people, captured one armored vehicle, captured 36 1o5 mm howitzers and matching shells, 15 81 mm mortars, 5oo shells, 16 heavy machine guns, 422 submachine guns, 127 pistols, more than 14oo rifles, and now continues to defend the position. ”

And the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion here sent a report that the main force of the German 29th Motorized Rifle Division had arrived, and because the vanguard regiment was completely annihilated, the Germans did not dare to despise the Soviet army in front of them, so the Germans did not attack immediately but assembled first, but the two German infantry divisions behind were only fifteen kilometers away from them.

Comprehensive intelligence seems that now the German army does not dare to hold on, the next 29th Division should want to wait for the arrival of friendly troops and then defeat the Soviet army in front of them in one fell swoop, but what they don't know is that the Soviet army in front of them is different from the Soviet army they have encountered before, Andrei decided to take the opportunity to attack at night to defeat the German army in a war, of course, it is impossible to annihilate the German infantry division's combat effectiveness is far above the Soviet army, it is caught off guard, and it will not be all played, Andrei's plan is only to destroy the German command system and then defeat the 29th Division.

After nightfall, the four regiments began to come out of the hiding place, and the four regiments had arranged for them to rest, but they resolutely asked for battle!

The fighters of the reconnaissance battalion and the A unit also began to clear the German posts and patrols, and the four regiments formed an encirclement of the Germans in four directions!

The German motorized rifle division has 3 motorized infantry regiments (6 battalions), 1 motorized artillery regiment (4 battalions), 1 armored reconnaissance battalion, 1 motorized chemical battalion, 1 motorized communications battalion, as well as supply units and quartermaster units directly under the division, with a full strength of 16,860 troops, and now there are losses of about 13,000 people

The idea of a division? Andrei remembered that last year in the Soviet army, it was said that it took several divisions to eat a division of the German army, was his courage too great?

At the beginning, every time he came back from a mission with the special forces directly under the central government, many people would praise his strategy. In fact, as a soldier, Andrei did not think that strategy came first, although he himself was very fond of the ancient art of war.

As a soldier, he believes that "bravery" is the most important quality of a soldier, no matter how good the strategy is, no matter how good the equipment, if there is no group of brave and fearless soldiers who are not afraid of death to execute, everything is empty talk. The German army in front of him is very strong, and its equipment is first-class in this era, as a self-proclaimed modern army, many of the German army's weapons and equipment such as tanks and airplanes are also world-class. As for the strategic level of the German army, the efficiency of its staff structure was not to mention, the army that waged a large-scale war, the staff department was functioning effectively from beginning to end, and yet the arrogance of the Germans challenged the world, which was already doomed to their defeat.

But the strength of the German soldiers was world-class in this era! The reason why the Soviet army is desperate is because they are defending the motherland and fighting for their own survival, but these German troops are so fierce in fighting on the territory of other countries that they can really be regarded as the first army in the world today.

Andrei's greatest admirer was the Chinese Volunteer Army in the 50s, and in the face of the modern equipment of the 'United Nations Army', only soldiers could appreciate the huge gap between the two countries and the two armies at that time. However, the Volunteer Army used its own flesh and blood to prove to the world the powerful power of a new army and an ancient nation!

In the presence of true warriors, any stratagem will pale in comparison. If you want to truly defeat the German army in front of you, you must completely surpass the enemy mentally, so that any German army will shudder when mentioning its new division!

Seeing so many people sacrificed, Andre was also very heartbroken, but being a soldier is to go to the battlefield! If those soldiers who died on the battlefield are still alive, they may be able to become excellent grassroots commanders, and if they do not die, the combat effectiveness of the troops will be greatly improved. But they had to die, or more of their compatriots would be killed by the enemy. Even all can be sacrificed if necessary!

In a speech to senior military cadres in the division, Andrei said: We must develop ourselves, but the ultimate goal of developing ourselves is to destroy the enemy, and our military soul is not pieced together by a large number of people and equipment, but by the blood and lives of soldiers on the battlefield! As long as our soul remains, it will always be a formidable force, and it will always be a nightmare for the German army!

He didn't want to calculate whether this battle could annihilate the invading German motorized infantry division, in fact, "he still does not have the strength to annihilate others, and even the so-called encirclement in the plan is a formality, which is to cause a kind of panic in the hearts of these German troops."

But this battle must be fought, the opponent is a division of 13,000 people, and his own division also has 13,000 people, the opponent has more technical weapons than himself, but he has the advantage of surprise and terrain, if he wants to avoid the war in this way, then the arrogance of the German army will become more and more arrogant.

The Art of War: Ten Rules Surround It. Andrei decided to give the Germans a little color against convention.

As the time approached, the four regiments slowly took place, and the Germans did not expect that the Soviet army in front of them would dare to attack in the middle of the night, but when the Soviet commando team came in, many Germans were killed in their sleep, and then an offensive battle entered into the textbooks of the later military academy began. As several red signals popped up in the sky, a hard-fought battle began in the open wilderness by the Don River.

The four regiments of the "new division," which had long been ready to go, were now real eagles sprinting down from a high altitude, and under the encouragement of the charge, they shouted and rushed towards the position of the German 29th Division opposite.

The soldiers of the other three regiments had long held their breath in their hearts when they saw the four regiments fighting bloody, and now that this breath had finally been released, all the soldiers rushed forward bravely.

In the face of the Soviet troops fighting from four directions, the Germans began to panic, and the commander of the 29th Division, General Leezer, and his soldiers finally tasted the bitter fruit of underestimating the enemy. Along the way to victory these soldiers caused a great illusion. They took it for granted that since the Soviet army's millions of troops had been defeated, then of course they could win all the way.

While military experts in Germany were writing articles in influential newspapers in the country and elsewhere comparing whether a division of the Soviet army could withstand the attack of a regiment of the German army, one of their motorized rifle divisions was being surrounded on all sides by a division of the Soviet army.

It should be said that the German army was indeed a force to be reckoned with, and its soldiers were trained for a long time and had quite strong combat discipline. Despite the panic in the hearts of the vast majority of the soldiers, they faithfully carried out the tactical norms of the training under the leadership of commanders at all levels.

The mortars of the various units calmly hid behind and fired, trying to cover the offensive line of the opposing assault force. The command machine guns began to build positions and fired calmly, while the Germans in the front line took advantage of their accurate marksmanship.

And the result of all this was heavy casualties among the forward units of the four regiments. When everyone rushed to 200 meters, they could no longer rush, and they all lay down and hid on the spot.

Fortunately, 36 howitzers and 15 mortars were captured, and ten minutes after the attack of the first-line infantry, the artillery began to roll out all the German fire points one by one. The use of mortars by the "Condor" was as skillful as the Germans in operating grenadiers, so they quickly set up positions and calculated the firing elements.

Although the number of artillery on this side was far less than that of the Germans, the Germans were almost only beaten in front of the sudden artillery bombardment because of their hasty response. The mortars still fired five rounds of rapid fire in more than 20 minutes, and almost all the machine gun fire points of the German army were fired.

The fortifications built in a hurry by the Germans were already rudimentary, and now they were even more miserable under the shelling. Mobile phone users should browse and read for a better reading experience.
