Chapter 423: Democracy and Dictatorship
These bomb dogs appeared so suddenly that Claes couldn't react. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although all the tanks, armored vehicles, and infantry tried desperately to keep the dogs from approaching, they still let more than a hundred bomb dogs burrow into Claes's tank assault group, and after being hunted by the infantry who followed, some were killed, and more than a dozen bomb dogs that slipped through the net got under the tanks.
"Boom...... Boom ......"
The continuous explosions sounded continuously in the German tank assault group, even if Claes was in a hurry, it could not change this cruel reality, and after just a few minutes, the explosions stopped, and Claes's tank assault group suffered.
Twelve tanks were completely blown up, more than 20 tanks were damaged to varying degrees, and no less than 100 tank crews were killed and injured by the shock.
The chassis of all tanks in the world is not too thick, including the Leopard tank, and the explosive power of a 155 shell can definitely easily tear apart the chassis of all German tanks. Even the tank territory of the American devils in later generations could not withstand roadside bombs, not to mention the No. 4 tank type in World War II.
Some of the No. 4 tanks also produced ammunition detonation, and the entire tank was reduced to parts, and the infantry who followed these tanks also disappeared.
Claes, who no longer cared about personal danger, climbed to the top of his tank, stuck his head out, and looked at the heavy losses of his tank assault group, Claes's tears rolled in his eyes, these tanks are Claes's life!! Now that it's gone, how can you not make Claes heartbroken.
"Offense...... Offensive...... Give Lao Tzu a ...... to death."
Claes roared with the microphone, and after giving the order, Claes did not retract the tank, but personally operated the top machine gun of the No. 4 tank and fired fiercely at the Soviet position.
The Soviet army found that its anti-tank dogs were effective, and hurriedly organized a second wave of demolition team personnel to charge at the German tanks, but now there was no chance for those Soviet peasants, they were directly beaten into a sieve by German tanks and armored vehicles and infantry, people are not as flexible as dogs, not to mention that these Soviet troops are still peasants who have just put down their hoes.
"Click...... Boom ......"
With the remaining more than a hundred tanks, Claes rushed into the Soviet positions in one fell swoop and began to kill wildly, followed by armored vehicles and infantry who also swarmed in.
At this time, the Soviet army did not have such an automatic rifle as Bobosha, and the Soviet army's Bobosha did not begin to equip a large number of troops until mid-42, and it would be good to have a Mogan rifle in the hands of the current Soviet army.
Their light and heavy weapons firepower is much worse than that of the Germans, not to mention that the Germans also have armored vehicles to help, and the Soviet positions have been ravaged by German artillery fire, bombardment by the air force, and the combined attack of tanks and infantry, the Soviet army in the third line of defense is not the opponent of the Klaes armored assault group at all, and Claes finally successfully won the third line of defense of the Soviet army after paying some costs.
Claes, who had taken the third line of defense, told his deputy regiment commander to report the situation to the headquarters immediately, while Claes walked alone to the tanks that had just been blown up by Soviet bomb dogs, and cried bitterly alone.
Damn the Soviets actually came up with such a vicious trick and actually used dogs to blow up tanks. This tactic was used for the first time, and it achieved great results as soon as it was used, completely blowing up twelve No. 4 tanks, injuring more than 20 of them, needing to be returned to the factory for major repairs, and nearly 100 tank crews died.
At this time, it was already noon, and Claes had completed the scheduled attack mission, they only needed to stay in the third line of defense to rest and maintain the tanks, and follow Claes's second armored division to take over the assault mission of Claes.
The commander of the armored assault group that succeeded Claes was Leonard, who had fought with Claes, and Leonard's armored assault group was ordered to come up as soon as Claes occupied the third line of defense.
Leonard saw Claes's unlucky appearance, not to mention how happy he was, aren't you a good boy? What else is the "Thor's Hammer" armored assault group, how is it now, it was beaten miserably, now look at my performance, uncle, let you see what is called armored assault.
Of course, Leonard thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it to Claes, but Claes saw Leonard's flat face, so he couldn't get angry, Lao Tzu wants to see how you beat him, don't ****** worse than Lao Tzu.
……
Rommel, who returned to Berlin, was not very busy, mainly because of Rommel's decentralization, but Germany did not have the slightest chaos because of Rommel's decentralization, nor did there be a mountain of government affairs because of Rommel's decentralization.
This is mainly due to Germany's mature administrative system, the Third Reich is a national electoral system, even Hitler is elected by the people, since Germany is a democratic electoral system, it means that Germany has a parliament, judicial, legislative and other related institutions.
In Hitler's time, these institutions basically did not play much of a role, and when Rommel came to power, he directly distributed the power in his hands to the relevant institutions. As a result, after Rommel was under power and implemented a strategy of non-intervention, Germany's administrative efficiency became higher, and the voices against Rommel disappeared.
This is the advantage of not being a dictator, and while dictatorship gives the dictator himself enormous power, it also brings great danger to the dictator himself.
Any dictator must be followed by a large number of people, who are the vested interests created by the dictator invisibly, and these people will absolutely do anything to obtain more vested interests and protect vested interests.
This, in turn, invisibly exacerbates the internal contradictions of the country, thereby weakening the overall cohesion of the country, and the emergence of organizations that resist dictatorship.
In order to maintain their dictatorship, the dictator will inevitably kill these opponents, and the vicious circle will begin and the decline of the state will be inevitable.
Of course, dictatorship also has advantages, that is, high efficiency, if the dictator himself is good, it can indeed make the country develop rapidly in a short time, but once the dictator makes a wrong decision, the lesson is also painful.
Democracy is not a panacea, and the biggest disadvantage is that it is easy to get bogged down in a whimble, and political groups allow a matter that could have been implemented immediately to be delayed for their own benefit. (Democracy and dictatorship, this topic is too big for the fallen leaves to fully elaborate, please forgive me, brothers.) )
Rommel delegated power, but Rommel did not give up the decision-making power in his hands, when a matter was delayed several times, then Rommel would use the power in his hands to make the matter go smoothly.
