Chapter 468: Defeat the Soviet Cavalry Division

The muzzle of Wittman's No. 2334 tank flashed, and a hot shell flew towards a truck in the distance, and the shell burrowed into the belly of the truck at a speed invisible to the naked eye. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Boom...... Boom ......"

Wittman's Type 4 tank exploded the truck with one shot, but the explosion was so powerful that the explosion point formed a small mushroom cloud, and the Type 4 tank that Wittmann was riding was shocked to jump up more than half a meter high, and it was smashed down, and then Wittmann and his members were tragic, although everyone was wearing tank caps, they were still screaming from the impact.

"Ouch...... Ouch!! ”

There was a wail in the tank, Wittmann was shaken and abandoned, and with a "bang", his head hit the top of the tank, it was a thing made of steel, even if Wittman practiced iron head skills, he couldn't bear it! The impact immediately added a fist-sized bag to Wittman's head.

It turned out that Wittmann had wrecked a truck full of shells, which was terrifying. At this time, Weitman was not angry, and while rubbing the big bag on his head with his hand, he gave an order with a walkie-talkie:

"Attention to all vehicles, immediately stop attacking Soviet artillery, and attack all Soviet living forces."

Wittman wanted to keep these Soviet cannons for his own troops, and the shells were also extant, what a waste to destroy them now!

At this time, the targets of the SS began to change, specifically attacking the Soviet troops who had not yet fled, and the subsequent armored vehicles and SS infantry also poured into the Soviet positions.

With the resources of tanks and armored vehicles, the SS fought the Soviets in disarray, and the rain of bullets poured over them could be exchanged for corpses and wails everywhere.

These Soviet cavalry had no power to return to the sky, and there were only two ways for them to go, either surrender or flee, or death awaited them.

Thirty minutes later, the second Soviet ring defense position was littered with the corpses of men and horses, as well as the burning vehicles and the wails of the wounded Soviet soldiers who were not killed.

Now that the fighting has stopped, the SS has begun to treat them, these Soviet troops have fulfilled their mission, whether they are defeated or captured, they cannot be called cowards, they have fulfilled their duties as a soldier, they are worthy of the service.

In fact, there were not many Soviet troops killed in the second Soviet defensive position, and less than 3,000 people were killed in total. For two Soviet cavalry divisions, more than 30,000 troops, plus artillery units, to say the least, there were 40,000, and this death made the Soviet army collapse.

Could it be that Rukov's troops are garbage, then you can't evaluate Rukov's cavalry like this, it would have been wrong to let the cavalry become infantry to defend, the advantage of the cavalry is in the ability to maneuver, not let them give up their horses and go to the trenches to resist the German tank assault group, isn't that looking for death, besides, can they stop the tank assault without heavy weapons? That's not possible at all.

After Wittman treated the wounded Soviet soldiers, he began to put some tanks on guard, and the rest of the armored vehicles and tanks began to pull the intact Soviet artillery and ammunition.

This is stuck on the road of the retreat of the Soviet army, and the continuation of the offensive of the Soviet army is absolutely certain, so Wittmann does not dare to leave these intact artillery and ammunition here, and must be transported away as soon as possible.

With these seizures, Wittman, who suffered a bit "heavy" losses, barely felt a little more comfortable. Maybe you can ask the commander-in-chief to replenish your losses as soon as possible, in exchange for these captured cannons and ammunition.

The loss in Weitman's heart is "heavy", how "heavy" is it, only three tanks were completely destroyed and could not be repaired, more than a dozen were seriously injured and needed to be repaired at the factory, and the two tanks were slightly injured and could be repaired on the spot.

In addition, more than 20 armored vehicles were lost, more than 300 were killed, more than 200 were seriously wounded, and more than 500 were lightly wounded.

This shows how great the threat of heavy artillery to tanks is, which is why Rommel is bent on attaching a special aviation division to the Panzer Army.

It is aimed at the enemy's heavy artillery threat and a series of other major threats, as long as they pose a threat to the German tanks, they are the key targets of the German aviation forces, if Rommel's tank units lose air supremacy, the seriousness of the consequences cannot be underestimated, and the German army's blitzkrieg can be regarded as the end.

Rommel's minimum air supremacy requirements for his armored forces were; Keep your tanks out of the way to enemy aircraft.

The tank has many incomparable advantages as the king of land warfare, and at the same time it has its fatal weakness. In advanced tanks, they can be destroyed by simple weapons, and the tanks of the later generations that killed and disabled the Yankees by bombing on the side of the road are good examples.

The theory that a weapon is invincible is absolutely undesirable, it is self-defeating......

Rukov could only watch his cavalry and artillery being routed, but he did not dare to send a single soldier to reinforce him, for the simple reason that Ruko's follow-up infantry did not dare to fight the SS tanks at all.

Rukov could only put the two infantry divisions that arrived fifty kilometers from the Bryansk oil fields, and build ring fortifications while gathering the rout.

When the routs in the second ring defense position fled to the third ring defense position, Rukov really wanted to cry when he saw so many men, ragged and discarded soldiers, and Rukov deeply blamed himself for his recklessness.

Although Rukov felt guilty, he felt that there was nothing wrong with his command and arrangement, and the strategy of using artillery to bombard the oil fields was also very correct, but the artillery was not well protected by his own cavalry, which led to the failure of his artillery plan.

This cannot be entirely blamed on the cavalry, in modern warfare, in the face of the torrent of steel, the role of cavalry is greatly reduced, and this ancient branch of the army is about to retire from the stage of history.

The advantage of cavalry is mobility, but it does not have a solid defense, but the tank has mobility and defense, and at the same time has a strong attack ability, the latter two are not possessed by cavalry, which is why tanks completely replace cavalry.

Rukov is in a dilemma at this time, his 4 divisions can't beat an SS armored division, which is really aggrieved.

Now retreat! The SS tanks that ran through their own infantry could only end up being annihilated on the march, so don't retreat! It is also the end of annihilation.

Rukov didn't know what to do, whether to retreat or wait here to perish, Rukov really had no idea.

Now it is not enough to retreat Rukov, you must know that the order given to him by the commander-in-chief Popov is to take the Bryansk oil and gas field and blow it up completely, this task Rukov has not completed until now, because an armored division reinforced by the SS arrived.

"How is that good!! …… Correspondent; Send a telegram to the commander-in-chief asking for instructions on our army's next operational policy, and ...... quickly."

The correspondent replied with a squeezing face:

"Commander-in-Chief, we have lost contact with the Commander-in-Chief."
