Chapter 140: Recasting Glory (8)
The most glorious thing about the Italian army is that it runs faster than anyone and surrenders faster than anyone, and all kinds of reasons are absurd and ridiculous, they are the favorite army of the enemy. Because they're really romantic, romantic to the point of spoofing.
Otto raised his hand to look at the time, it was only 1:40 at this time, and there was still more than an hour before 3 o'clock, fortunately, the Polish cavalry did not prepare any heavy weapons, and basically used the cavalry charge to fight, so that the four oil wells that Otto grabbed were safe and sound, so the next time the Polish infantry arrived, it may not be such a scenario, their artillery bombardment, 100% will blow up the oil well, and ignite the oil well.
This made Otto realize that such a passive defense is not the way, after Otto's simple thinking, Otto planned to take the mobile squadron forward, take the initiative to sneak attack and ambush the Polish army, if the Polish army is huge, then Otto can use piecemeal methods to delay the progress of the Polish army. Otto can also choose to sneak attack the artillery units of the Polish army, several methods, several tactics, which one is most suitable, depending on which is more conducive to Otto to complete the task to protect himself, Otto will not hesitate to choose which tactics and methods. This is the greatest benefit of the commander putting the decision power of the first line below.
Regardless of whether Otto's decision is right or wrong, you will only know if you have played it, anyway, Otto does not intend to defend rigidly, but to change the huge weakness of his side by taking the initiative to attack. It seems that Otto, the vicious Scarface, is planning to gamble on his life again. I don't know why most of the front-line commanders of the SS established by Zhang Jun are the same as Zhang Jun, they like to gamble their lives, and they put their lives on the line, winning is earth-shattering, and losing is losing their money, maybe it is the character of their commander Zhang Jun that affects these subordinates.
Otto quickly adjusted his deployment and left with the support squadron, and they galloped away, because there was already another tremor on the ground, this time not only the sound of horses' hooves, but also the sound of vehicles and footsteps, and judging from the degree of tremor, there were more Polish troops this time. Otto did not know whether he would be able to delay the Polish army until three o'clock, and as soon as the deputy commander arrived, the matter would be considered a satisfactory one.
……
Besides, not long after Rommel's departure, Vincent came to the door to ask for instructions:
"Report."
"Come on, General Vincent."
Rommel saw Vincent riding a motorcycle alone outside his command car from the window, and hurriedly asked Vincent to get on the car, Rommel looked at this lively boy, I don't know what bad ideas he has, even if it is useless, you can listen to it, Rommel is very polite corporal, and he learns Zhang Jun's style of doing things vividly.
The command car slowly stopped on the side of the road, and Vincent rushed in with a "whoosh".
"Deputy Commander, Vincent reports to you, requesting a combat mission."
Rommel waited for Vincent's boy to appear in front of him, and then asked with a smile:
"General Vincent, you are now the deputy commander of the Viking Division, don't you have the authority to command the entire Viking Division? Isn't this task enough? ”
Vincent came to Rommel and gave a standard military salute before speaking:
"Deputy Commander, I have come up with a way to get us to the LMG oil and gas field as soon as possible, and then protect it well, because the LMG oil and gas field is so important to us."
Rommel looked at Vincent in amazement, and looked like a man of underbeatenness.
"General Vincent, if you have any good plans, just say it directly, if it is feasible, I think I can fulfill your wishes."
"Hehe, thank you Deputy Commander, I think so, I want to take a hundred armored vehicles to go first, so that we will not have a large army to drag us down, now our march is only fifty kilometers per hour, if you want to reach the LMG oil and gas field, it will take at least four hours, which is completely beyond the meeting time agreed between us and Otto, so I want to take the armored car, rush to the LMG oil and gas field as quickly as possible, help Otto and them defend together, and then wait for the arrival of the large army led by you, deputy commander."
As soon as Vincent finished speaking, Rommel said without hesitation:
"Vincent, I agreed to your request, you hurry up and mobilize armored vehicles to go first, your only task when you arrive at the LMG oil and gas field is to protect the oil and gas field, don't ignore the safety of the LMG oil and gas field for the sake of greed, if something goes wrong, no matter how much credit you have made before, I mind sending you to a military court."
"Thank you, Deputy Commander, Vincent understands which is more important."
"Pedal ......"
In the blink of an eye, Vincent's kid ran away, leaving Rommel shaking his head.
Vincent is now the deputy division commander, and it is still very easy to transfer troops, not to mention that this kid still has Rommel's chicken feather order in his hand.
Soon Vincent dispatched a hundred armored vehicles, and the arrogant Vincent directly ordered all the various vehicles and tanks driving on the road to pull over to make room for Vincent's convoy, even Rommel's command car was no exception, all of them gave way to Vincent's convoy, and as soon as the kid came up, he asked the driver to hang the gear of the armored car to the highest, and then stepped on the accelerator to the end.
"Woooooooooo......oo Woowoo woo ......"
The roaring armored car let out a roar like a tank and began to splore, at least at a speed of more than a hundred, Vincent this kid was too arrogant.
The commander of the armored regiment, Wittman, received an order to have his tanks make way for Vincent's armor. Weitman's face was not normal, when was there a precedent for tanks to give way to other vehicles, which made Weitmann very unhappy, but the order still had to be carried out, Weitmann had to let his tank pull over, get out of the turret of the tank himself, and look at the armored car speeding by with great annoyance, and the dust that was raised in the sky almost didn't bury Weitmann.
"Phew, phew...... Damn Italian little white face...... Phew......"
Wittman didn't know if he was complaining about Vincent or spitting the dust in his mouth.
……
After Otto felt the shaking of the ground, he immediately went out with a mobile support squadron, Otto wanted to delay Poland as much as possible on this plain of Poland, in fact, it was very difficult, although it was difficult Otto still had to do this, because the Polish army that came this time was not cavalry, but infantry with vehicles, so it was normal for them to carry artillery.
Otto was running with people, the Polish army was also galloping in a car, and the order they received was to fight to the death, this time it was two Polish infantry regiments that came to attack, this was only the second wave of troops, and later there were four Polish divisions, and the Polish cavalry who fled back told the Polish army who came to attack the general situation of Germany here in the oil well, and the attacking Polish troops heard that the LMG oil and gas field was about a battalion of German troops, which was undoubtedly a shot of "chicken blood" for those attacking Polish troops.
Who doesn't want to make meritorious contributions, now is a godsend, there are only stars in the sky, but there are no damn German planes, such a good opportunity is really rare, those attacking troops are even more windy now, and they are even more tiger and tiger when they rush to the road.
The cars of the Polish army suffered serious losses in the war, only the artillery had cars to pull the cannons, of course, the artillery could also take the car, and the rest of the people would go on foot, so their speed would not be as fast as there, and it would be impossible for your artillery to run in front of the infantry, so all the trucks were stop-and-go, and the marching speed of the entire Polish army was not even comparable to the speed of Otto.
Otto led the people forward for five kilometers, then stopped, Otto divided the people into two groups, and then scattered on both sides of the road, although Poland is a plain, but there are still roads, just dirt roads, this LMG oil field to Lublin has a dirt road, Otto is to deploy troops on both sides of the road.
The men on both sides of the road continued to divide into two groups, one for the battle and one for the cover retreat. Otto's arrangement is carefully calculated, the number of Polish troops must be very large, Otto must attack for three to five minutes at most and must be evacuated, otherwise he may be "dumplings" by the Polish army, Otto is not stupid.
Otto's plan was to suddenly strike at the Polish army on the march, and then retreat in lightning, the Polish army was bound to be in confusion, with many wounded, and by the time the Polish army restored order and continued the attack, Otto had already run without a shadow.
If the Polish army wants to pursue Otto, Otto still has two covering retreat groups, covering the attack group to retreat smoothly, and after Otto and they retreat for a distance, after the ambush, the Polish army is afraid that it will be another dull stick.
Soon the Polish army appeared in view, and the bright car lights clearly told the Polish army of the queue and the goal.
"Everyone prepare, each of you will use up five magazines, throw away four grenades, and retreat within three minutes, with the sound of my gunfire as a signal."
"Toot toot toot...... Ha ha...... Hurry up, brothers, let's go fight the Germans,...... I went to play, but I couldn't catch any of them!! ”
The Polish army has gradually entered Otto's "pocket array", of course, it can only be a part of the people, after all, Otto's number is too small, and the "pocket array" he arranged cannot fit two Polish infantry regiments.
"Dada...... Beat...... Da Da ......"
In an instant, countless scorching barrages tilted towards the Polish troops on the march, and many of them did not understand what was happening, so they went to God in a daze.
"Ahhh ……”
"Dada...... Da Da ...... Bumper ......"
The copycat Type 56 submachine guns of the "Storm Commando" swept wildly and fired at each other, and countless Polish troops were ruthlessly sent to hell, they were completely blinded, and occasionally a few people put a few shots on both sides of the road, which undoubtedly ushered in a rain of bullets, and the result was that they were beaten all over the body.
"Grenade...... Cast"
Otto shot at a while, a burst for a while, at least more than 30 Polish soldiers became the ghosts under his gun, a magazine can be fired in 2 seconds, Otto spent about two minutes after firing 5 magazines, the main point shooting time is more, although it takes more time, but the shooting accuracy is guaranteed, and the certainty of killing the Polish army is also relatively large......
