Chapter 464: Hold on (Part II)
Helbert sighed, did not continue to ask, but fell into deep thought, being a front-line commander under Führer Rommel is this good, the task is handed over to you, the superior commander is not interfering with your command, as for how to fight, how to fight, it is completely the commander of the front line to make the decision, which is absolutely impossible in Hitler.

This command mode has great advantages, and it can give full play to the subjective initiative of the front-line commanders, and of course, it is also a great test of the tactical command ability of the front-line commanders. As long as the command art of the commanders on the front line is not too bad, Rommel's act of delegating power will play a very important role.
Helbert thought about it for about five minutes before he began to give orders to Add:
"Captain Eddie, your men will defend these oil wells, and at the same time, I will send twenty armored vehicles to support you, and I will arrange the rest of the armored vehicles on both sides of the Soviet defensive positions.
But we won't attack now, because our armored vehicles can't withstand the anti-tank guns of the Soviet army, that is undoubtedly joking with the lives of soldiers, I will not do such stupid things, what I need is to take my soldiers and use a small amount of money to achieve victory, not to do this kind of senseless sacrifice without loss. ”
In order to catch up, Helbert led more than a hundred armored vehicles to break away from the tank and run, so at this time Helbert did not have a tank in his hand, only more than a hundred armored vehicles.
Now the evil consequences are manifested, and Helbert, who has only more than 100 armored vehicles, does not dare to attack the 5,000 Soviet troops in front of him in the dark.
"Understood, General."
"Then go on your mission."
The Soviets did not dare to come out now, as long as they were desperately digging field fortifications, they were waiting for reinforcements to arrive, and Helbert was also waiting for the arrival of Rommel's tanks, and both sides were nervously preparing for the upcoming big battle.
At about half past three in the morning, there were bursts of violent vibrations on the ground, and both the Soviet and German troops put their ears to the ground to listen to the direction from which the sound of the vibration came from.
On the German side, there are more than 100 No. 4 tanks, and on the Soviet side, there are trucks and other vehicles, even if the Soviet army has tanks, the number is very rare, how can it be compared with Helbert's armored division.
The Soviet troops in the circular position had already sent a telegram asking for help, and informed the Soviet troops in the rear that the German troops defending the Bryansk oil and gas field had been reinforced by about 100 taels of tanks or armored vehicles, so they did not dare to attack rashly, and now they have built a circular field fortification with a diameter of about three kilometers.
The commander-in-chief of the Soviet army was Lieutenant General Rukov, and when Rukov received Popov's order, he couldn't believe his eyes, and Popov actually ordered him to take four divisions of troops to attack the German troops who attacked the oil and gas fields in the Bryansk oil field.
Since the Germans are a sneak attack, why don't they send more troops, no more than one regiment, and use four divisions of 70,000 troops?
Such a transfer would mean abandoning the defense of some parts of Bryansk, and Rukov was very puzzled, but he still faithfully fulfilled his duties as a soldier.
Rukov, of course, will not understand what the Soviet Popov meant, the Soviet Popov is breaking the kettle and breaking everything in the pots, because Popov has realized the fact that if he does not break through, he will perish.
In addition, the Germans attacked and occupied the Bryansk oil field, the largest oil and gas field of the Soviet army, which is a very large oil field, and if the German army owns this oil and gas field, the war potential of the German army will be unprecedentedly increased, and the time for the Soviet army to regain liberation will be postponed indefinitely.
This is the question that the Soviet army Popov thinks about standing at the national level, of course, it is not something that Rukov can understand, I have to say that the Soviet army Popov is not good at fighting, and the strategic vision is still good.
While mobilizing troops, Rukov ordered the Soviet troops close to the Bryansk oil and gas fields to immediately set off and attack the Bryansk oil and gas fields, but soon the news of the defeat at the front came.
This did not make Rukov nervous, and he continued to order the follow-up troops to quickly advance to the Bryansk oil and gas fields, but the two infantry regiments that followed were attacked by the Germans and stopped the attack, and the Germans were reinforced with tanks or armor.
At this time, Rukov no longer rashly ordered his troops to attack, and could only wait for his large forces to arrive before launching a full-scale attack.
Rukov's troops moved very quickly, and the soldiers were eager to defend their homeland, but the huge difference in weapons between the Soviet army and the German army was really an insurmountable chasm.
The Soviet troops in Bryansk retreated from the periphery of Kyiv, and they still used Soviet weapons and equipment, and the Soviet troops on the Moscow side had a large number of British and American weapons and equipment, but they did not. This greatly reduces their combat power.
Soon an urgent telegram came from the front, reporting that about a German armored division was coming to reinforce it, and Rukov was even more careless, although Rukov had not competed with the German armored division since the beginning of the war, but Rukov had heard of the power of the German armored division.
Rukov hurriedly took out a military map in his command car and studied it. At this time, Rukov was about 20 kilometers away from the Bryansk oil field, and the Soviet army's artillery range could not reach the Bryansk oil field, so he had to continue to advance at least five kilometers, but his tens of thousands of troops marched at a speed of five kilometers per hour, and after their troops advanced five kilometers, the German armor was afraid that they would be killed in front of them.
Rukov must make a choice, this is a decision related to the life and death of the troops, and he cannot make a decision casually, but the current dangerous situation can't help but Rukov think more, and the crisis situation forces Rukov to come up with a choice as soon as possible.
"Smack" Rukov broke the pencil in his hand and threw it directly on the ground.
"Order, the cavalry units and artillery units immediately advance five kilometers, and then urgently build field ring fortifications there, and when all the cavalry arrive at the place, all dismount and dig trenches, participate in the battle as infantry, and at the same time assist the artillery in building artillery positions."
Rukov's order was to let the cavalry and artillery quickly rush to the front, and then build a ring of fortifications, so that artillery could be erected to bombard the oil and gas fields of the Bryansk oil field, and the two infantry regiments in front were their artillery observers.
Rukov's trick is very poisonous, that is, to use artillery to directly smash and ignite the oil and gas fields of the Bryansk oil field that your German army has won.
If the oil well is ignited, it is very difficult to extinguish it, and it takes a lot of time and manpower, and a lot of related technical support.
Germany does not have this convenient research, if Rukov really succeeds, then Führer Rommel is really in trouble, if the oil and gas field is blown up, the big deal is to re-drill, if the oil well is ignited, Führer Rommel must find a way to extinguish it, that is the hope and future of burning Germany.
"Toot toot toot...... Tick tock...... Hurry up ......" the cavalry and artillery of the Soviet army began to set off.
Rukov's order was quickly conveyed and urgently moved, and it seemed that the quality of Rukov's army was still very good.
