As the morning fog completely dissipated, the Anjia Air Force group joined in the strangulation of the German tanks like flies smelling rotten eggs. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Compared with the army tank units on the ground, which were advancing vigorously, the aircraft, with its absolute superiority in speed, became another big murderer in strangling the German armored combat group.

By this time, the commanders of the German 3rd and 4th Panzer Divisions and the 10th Motorized Division had already discovered that the situation was not right, and the successive failures forced them to recognize the reality, quickly build temporary defensive positions with tanks as the core, and at the same time organize towed 88-mm anti-aircraft anti-aircraft guns and various self-propelled anti-aircraft gun trucks, desperately spraying barrages into the sky.

"Attention units, the anti-aircraft fire of the Germans is very strong and very threatening to us, and the aircraft give priority to clearing the enemy's air defense positions."

Major General Wang Hua, commander of the 8th Air Force Division, who was at the air combat command post of the AWACS I-type aircraft, resolutely issued an operational order after seeing the entire battlefield situation.

Soon, six squadrons of fighters equipped with Q1 and Q2 attack aircraft, as well as eight squadrons of B2 bombers, each pounced on the assigned target, putting a lot of pressure on the German anti-aircraft fire operators on the ground.

In the terrible whistling sound, the B2 bomber made a large-angle dive attack from a high altitude to the ground, while the strong attack plane launched a small-angle level flight attack, two attacks from different directions, which caught the German air defense personnel off guard, often chasing this one and attacking from the other direction, which can be described as unguardable.

Captain Beikang, the leader of the No. 2 Strike Aircraft Squadron of the 36th Flying Group of the Anjia Air Force, had just finished a surprise attack on a German antiaircraft artillery battlefield, and the cluster bomb that exploded in the air made the German army's reinforced anti-aircraft position, which consisted of an 88-mm anti-aircraft gun and two 20-mm anti-aircraft gun trucks, a mess.

During this bombing, Captain Bécon saw the tenacity of the Germans, whose gunners insisted on ignoring their own blows, and used all their firepower to pursue a B2 bomber that dived down, fighting for the risk of reimbursing the entire position in exchange for the result of hitting the Anjia fighters.

When seeing that the German anti-aircraft positions were destroyed by cluster bombs dropped by themselves. Then you can see the skyrocketing fire that the dive attack plane, which could not be pulled up because it was hit by a barrage, hit the ground. Captain Becon's expression changed from relaxed to serious.

"Captain, how's the record?" A Q2 fighter plane appeared on the right hand side of the fighter plane piloted by Bei Kang, this pilot named Quan Gui and Bei Kang are also from Jiange in northern Sichuan, with the rank of lieutenant, and is a sub-leader of the second strong aircraft squadron.

"Two 88-mm anti-aircraft guns, four anti-aircraft gun trucks."

There was a hint of unspeakable sentimentality in Bei Kang's words, just now he had witnessed the whole process of the same flying group's robe falling to the ground, knowing that such a fast dive speed was so close to the ground. Moreover, after being hit by anti-aircraft fire, the plane spun uncontrollably and rapidly, and in this case there was no chance of parachuting out at all.

"I knocked out two 37-mm self-propelled anti-aircraft artillery vehicles...... Holy shit, the Germans were tenacious, our squadron had already two attack aircraft shot down. ”

Quan Gui's tone was equally heavy, although as a fighter pilot, he was destined to brave the rain of bullets to attack the opponent, and casualties were inevitable, but it was inevitable to feel sad to witness the death of his comrades.

"Forget it. Don't think about it. We are fighter pilots, and the more ruthless the enemy, the stronger we will be! Forcibly break through the attack! ”

After speaking, Békang pressed the nose of the aircraft and roared towards another German anti-aircraft fire point, and the German gunner of the FLAK38 type four-company 20-mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun vehicle discovered his attack intention almost at the same time and hurriedly shifted the muzzle. Facing the attack aircraft of Beikang, it continuously fired interceptor shells.

Becan calmly piloted the plane, placing the self-propelled anti-aircraft gun vehicle firmly in the center of the cross of the scope, and at the touch of a button on the joystick head, four 76mm arrows whizzed out of the rocket launch nest under the wings, spraying away with a faint tail smoke and orange tail flame.

It's a pity that rockets fired at high speeds. The effect of the ground attack was really poor, and the accuracy of striking a single target could be described as poor, and it did not directly hit the FLAK38 self-propelled sports car, but fortunately, the smoke from the nearby explosion obscured the German gunner's vision, and at the same time, the fragments and shock waves of the shells from the rocket sputtering also seriously interfered with it, and the barrage of anti-aircraft shooting was significantly thinned.

What Becan needed was this short pause, and in the flash of light, the Q2 attack plane approached smoothly, and Becan calmly pulled the trigger, and the dense shells fired by the two 37mm aerial guns smashed the German FLAK38 self-propelled sports car to pieces and burst into flames.

Witnessing the German self-propelled artillery truck with all the holes after the ammunition was detonated, Beican pulled up the plane again, circled in the air, and yelled "fuck you" to vent the excitement in his heart.

In just over half an hour, the 24th Motorized Army, which had been hit by continuous air and ground attacks, had already lost more than 400 tanks, and most of the other tanks were wounded. Admiral Schwebenburg was so anxious that he hurriedly sent a messenger to Marshal Bloomberg for help, and at the same time ordered Panzergrenadiers to block the attack of the tank units of the Anjia Army.

After the Soviet-German Battle of Stalingrad in 1942, the German Panzer Division was reorganized, with a standard Panzer Division consisting of two Panzergrenadier Regiments, two Panzer Regiments, and an Artillery Regiment with five Panzer Artillery Battalions, as well as an Armoured Reconnaissance Battalion, an Armoured Engineer Battalion, and an Antiaircraft Artillery Battalion.

The firepower of an ordinary Panzergrenadier company includes six 20 mm self-propelled machine guns, two 88 mm towed anti-aircraft guns, two 80 mm medium mortars, two 75 mm howitzers, one 37 mm anti-aircraft gun, forty MG34 or MG42 light and heavy machine guns and 25 armored personnel carriers of various types, using all means to stop the enemy.

"Boom-"

A loud bang came, a Leopard II tank chassis was hit hard, the huge impact force made the tank body rise up by almost forty or fifty millimeters, the tank fell back to the ground because of the strong inertia still continued to rush forward two or three meters away, the right track only fell softly at this time, and the tank that lost its balance quickly stopped in place.

"The Germans laid anti-tank mines!" The tank commander, who was following behind, quickly noticed the attack on the tank in front. Accurately identify the danger you are facing.

"Minesweepers and anti-tank rockets were transferred to clear the mines. The rest of the tanks continued to fire at the opposite side, paying attention to the anti-tank fire of the Germans and giving priority to their annihilation! "Lieutenant Shangguan Cheng, commander of the first battalion and first company of the 11th Tank Regiment of the 3rd Tank Division, called for auxiliary support vehicles to follow the tank attack to come to support.

Soon, three Leopard II transformers with a large and dense Harvester in front of the front of the vehicle followed from behind, and these minesweepers crushed the ground through the huge piercing teeth, constantly touching and detonating the anti-tank mines planted by the Germans.

Huge explosions rang out one after another, and the momentum was quite alarming, but for the solid iron, which was specially designed to resist explosions. The effect was extremely limited, the shock wave generated by the explosion was resisted by the hard solid iron surface and diverted to the diversion groove between the iron teeth, and the dense shrapnel and huge potential energy only made the minesweeper stagnate and bounce in place, and then continued to move forward under the strong thrust given by the Leopard II tank.

In a very short period of time, An Jiajun's mine-sweeping tank has been upgraded to the second generation of products, when he was in command of the Northeast War, An Yi had seen the mine-sweeping tank with his own eyes, and now the mine-sweeping tank shooting is more scientific and reasonable. It has been deployed to the troops as standard equipment at the battalion level.

The advent of minesweeper tanks. The Germans were dumbfounded, they originally thought that in order to reduce losses, the Anjia army would need to spend at least a few hours to clear mines, but with the appearance of minesweepers, it is estimated that it will be difficult to withstand even half an hour. The German Panzergrenadier units hurriedly concentrated their anti-tank artillery and fired at the minesweeper tanks, and for a time, three Leopard II transformers with frontal armor thickened to 200 mm became the focus of German anti-tank fire. Anti-tank shells of various calibers flew towards it one after another.

"Fire cover, minesweeper rockets move faster!"

Lieutenant Shangguan Cheng said anxiously into the microphone that although the front armor of the minesweeper tank has been thickened to 200 mm, no matter how thick the armor is, it cannot withstand continuous shelling, you must know that the German 88 mm anti-aircraft gun is known as a tank killer, even if the tank can withstand it. The people inside also could not withstand the continuous blast shockwaves and concussions.

At this time, several semi-open-top, half-track armored vehicles drove up from behind, smaller than other armored fighting vehicles and personnel carriers, with a semi-defensive body in the back. After driving to the edge of the minefield, the armored vehicles stopped behind the Leopard II tank, which was constantly shelling, and the officers and men on the vehicles quickly erected two rails on the top of the body and the front of the vehicle.

As the launcher pressed the rocket igniter, a piercing scream sounded, and the rockets whistled into the sky, unlike ordinary rockets that have been dragging a long tail flame, the propulsion of these rockets only lasted a short second or two before it ended, relying on huge inertia, the rockets continued to draw arcs, carrying a long tail, and landed not far in front of the temporary position of the German army a few hundred meters away.

Soon, with these white thumb-thick ropes as the center, the powerful shock wave generated by the special high-explosive ** explosion in the rope detonated all the mines within five meters of the left and right, and the roads leading to the German defensive positions were easily opened.

The German commander decisively ordered the troops to retreat to the second line of defense to block the enemy.

Unfortunately, the Germans were faced with the Anjia Army, which adopted a three-dimensional offensive method, and in addition to the bombers and attack planes of the Air Force and the tanks of the Army, helicopter gunships were also a powerful striking force.

When the German anti-aircraft fire rushed to deal with the fighters, the helicopter gunships, which had been hovering at a low altitude, suddenly pounced and fired the rockets in the rocket nests on both wings of the fuselage at the German tanks and anti-tank guns that were the core of the defensive line.

Due to the short distance, the helicopter gunship was hovering again, and the accuracy of the rocket hit was very high. Although the 107mm unguided air-to-ground rockets are not very powerful, they are fired from the top down, attacking the top armor of the tank's turret.

After losing thirty or forty tanks in just a few minutes, the German line was once again shrinking back, but by this time the tank clusters of the Anjia Army were already approaching, and tanks, armoured fighting vehicles, assault gun vehicles, and armored personnel carriers pounced on the German disorganized front like wild horses.

"When—"

Sergeant Wen Hao had just jumped out of an armored personnel carrier. I was bitten by a bullet fired by the Germans - a ricocheting bullet that hit the body of the armored vehicle first and then jumped back. Hit his helmet, and since the bullet had already consumed a lot of kinetic energy on the first impact, hitting his helmet only made a crisp impact sound.

Sergeant Wen Hao subconsciously turned over and turned to the side of Guan Lin, a senior soldier who was on guard and covering the rest of his comrades-in-arms out of the warehouse, holding a gun on alert, and suppressing the German fire point in front.

"Good luck, squad leader!" Dao Chen, a newly recruited Dai private who was newly enlisted last year, witnessed this danger with his own eyes, and carefully squatted down to pick up the bullets on the ground.

"Can this be called good luck? Why don't you give it a visit? Wen Hao glared at the rookie. Dao dust comes from Kanchanaburi City, Shannan Province, and now the Siamese people in former Siam have been uniformly called the Dai people, due to the popularization of literacy education, all the Dai people have become proficient in Mandarin from unfamiliar to proficient, and now there is no barrier to communicate with each other.

"Haha, thank you for not being sensitive!" Dao Chen threw away the warhead with a smile, and when he saw that the whole class had safely gotten out of the car, he immediately followed the squad leader Wen Hao to attack forward.

Because it was too hasty. The temporary positions of the Germans were very simple and crude. In the case that tanks and armored fighting vehicles attracted most of the firepower, the German firepower did not pay much attention to the armored infantry at first, but when the infantry advanced to the front of the position three or four hundred meters, the Germans finally found that it was difficult to repel the tanks that came in like a tide without first destroying the infantry accompanying the tank attack, so machine guns and rifle bullets swept towards the armored infantry, but unfortunately, the infantry hid behind the tanks and armored vehicles when they saw that the situation was wrong. Unharmed, these firing points were soon silenced by tanks and armored vehicles, and the German defenses collapsed again as the snipers of the An Jiajun Army focused on striking a significant target.

The continuous battle began at 8 a.m. and lasted until about 11 p.m., when the remnants of the German 24th Motorized Army joined up with the 5th Army of the German 9th Army, which had crossed the river, and hastily deployed along the depth of about five kilometers on the east bank of the Sersar River.

But. At 12 o'clock at noon, thousands of artillery pieces and thousands of rocket artillery pieces opened fierce fire on the German positions.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, under the fierce attack of the conquering troops, several lines of German defense were razed to the ground, and the entire east bank of the Sersar River fell into the control of the Anjia Army.

At this point, the 24th Motorized Army, which the German army was proud of, was almost wiped out as a formation.

In the early morning of the 24th, the commander of the German Southern Combat Group, Admiral Paulus, received a report on the battle situation in the form of a handwritten letter from a correspondent assigned by Field Marshal Bloomberg, and an order for him to make every effort to find out whether the Southeast Cluster was in danger. Paulus, who had suffered heavy losses in his armored forces, had to retreat to the north bank of Lake Gadisiyah with his troops, and another huge encirclement was formed.
