Chapter 216: Papier-mâché city defense

The order that Frieze received from the commander of the first division of the Skeleton Army was to decide the way of attack independently, and the target was Neof, since the right was in the hands of the first commander, how could Frieze not use it, and hurriedly ordered his armored assault group and sandbag trucks that followed him to rush at Neov.

Frieze's armored assault regiment was very fast, and they rushed to the city of Niov without a fatality, and at a distance of more than 20 kilometers, Frieze and they rushed to it in less than half an hour.

"Boom...... Bang...... Woowoo woo ......"

"May I ask if the part of the armored assault force below needs the support of our helicopter group."

When Flitz was five kilometers away, a brigade of helicopters flew in the sky, and these helicopters were also the main ones who wanted to make meritorious contributions, and when they saw from the air, there was an armored unit charging very sharply, and they saw that they were about to reach the city of Neov, so this helicopter group contacted Frieze in the air.

"Hehe, welcome brothers from the Air Force to join our Reaper's Scythe assault group, want to be the first to storm Neoff? Then give us air cover. ”

"As you wish."

"Thanks, stay in formation, move forward at a steady pace, and dash through the street right in front of your target."

Now with the addition of helicopters, Fritz became even more unscrupulous, rolling and crushing at Neoff.

……

Commander of the 1st Division of the Buvelevsky-Young Guards. Overseas Chinese from the Soviet Union, participated in the October Revolution, participated in the civil war after the revolution, served as the 100th Infantry Division, and was awarded the honor of the 1st Guards Division on September 18, 1939 for its bravery.

Buvelevsky-Young was a divisional commander who was personally received and praised by Stalin, so he was not purged, but Buverevsky-Young was a time-tested revolutionary fighter who did not know how to befriend Beria, and as a result, he is still the commander of the 1st Guards Division. Beria not only suppressed Buvelevsky-Young, but also put the Guards Division, which was supposed to be used to defend Moscow, to the city closest to the German-Soviet border, which can be regarded as the exile of Buverevsky-Young.

Suddenly the war broke out, the airfield in Niov was completely finished, it was bombed indiscriminately by German planes, more than 200 planes on the Niov airfield were blown up on the ground before they could take off, and a regiment guarding the airfield also suffered heavy casualties.

Buvelevsky-Young was not one of those Soviet officers who rose up like a rocket, but a battle-tested Soviet officer, who was not at all bad in terms of combat experience. Soon ordered the Soviet troops to retreat to the city because the Soviet Union underestimated the German-Soviet war, so Niovcheng did not have any strong city defenses, and now it is impossible to arrange city defenses.

But Buvelevsky-Young still came up with a little way, first of all, Buverevsky-Young divided his Guards Division into four parts, each part defended in one direction, and the division headquarters left a regiment of mobile troops, the first division of the Guards Army was a division of the third brigade and six regiments, with a total of 18,000 people, and some were killed at the airport, and now Buvelevsky-Young still has more than 16,000 people in his hands, but this point of people has to defend a huge city of Niov, and there is no way to fortify it everywhere, But what can Buverevsky-Young do! Because Stalin personally called and told Buvelevsky-Young to defend Niov to the last soldier.

In this case, Buvelevsky-Young can only hold on, there is no possibility of retreat at all, Buverevsky-Young only hopes that his perseverance and sacrifice can give the Soviet Union more time to prepare for war, Buverevsky-Young's wish is good, if the German SS does not give strength, can not take Neoff, can really realize Buverevsky-Yang's wish, everything depends on the strength of the two sides, who loses and who wins the war.

In fact, Buvelevsky-Yang's four-sided defense, that is, defense everywhere, everywhere does not have an advantage, and the Soviet Union's idea of preferring to lose people rather than lose territory harmed Buverevsky-Yang, the best way is to concentrate troops in a defense area, and then send a large number of rangers out to sneak attack, so that the war can be delayed as much as possible, of course, in the face of the absolutely powerful German team, they will eventually lose, but the German team wants to quickly clear them is impossible, there is no problem to hold on for a few days, But now defending everywhere, under the fierce attacks of more than 400,000 SS troops from all sides, will quickly consume all the living forces, and it is really not a good defensive strategy.

……

"Boom...... Bang...... Bang...... Buzz ......"

Flize's three-dimensional armored assault group rushed towards a main street in Neov, and Flitz did not meet any resistance outside the city, and Flitz estimated that the Soviet commander had shrunk his forces into the city, and Flitz thought to himself: It seems that the Soviet commander is not a fool.

One hundred and fifty-two tanks, plus the same number of armored vehicles, and hundreds of sandbag trucks behind them, the momentum was quite shocking, and the ground shook so strongly that it could be transmitted for at least a few miles. In addition, there were other tank units that were not far from the armored assault group in Flitz, and those regiment commanders saw that some people wanted to take credit, so they hurriedly asked their division commanders for instructions, and the reply was that they must not lag behind, and they would directly rush to the city with the horsepower of Lao Tzu, and whoever took the Neov city government building first, Lao Tzu would give him the first credit.

More than 400,000 troops charged frantically at Neov, and no one wanted to be left behind, including 8 armored divisions, more than 1,200 tanks and the same number of armored vehicles, plus countless trucks, and the whole Neov was trembling.

More than 400,000 against 16,000 people, Germany also had countless tanks and armored vehicles to help, and with Buverevsky-Young's defensive strategy everywhere, German tanks and the sea of people directly buried the entire Neov.

Flitz saw that the form was not right, and that the credit for his own work might be robbed by other troops, so he hurriedly took out the city plan of Neov, and Flitz pointed from the street corner he entered, looking for a shortcut to the city hall of Niolf.

"Boom, boom...... Boom...... Click...... Click......"

There were countless bullets and shells coming out of the windows on both sides of the street, but at this time the Soviet anti-tank weapons were really too poor to deal with the German Copycat Type 99 tanks, which could tear everything apart.

It has to be said that the Guards Division is indeed a dare to fight unit trained by Buvelevsky-Young, and countless soldiers of the Soviet Guards Division rushed at the German tanks with explosive packs or anti-tank grenades, but their fate can be imagined, such a disparity in strength, even if those Soviet troops can blow up dozens of German tanks, their fate is also annihilation.

If all the units of the Soviet army were in this style of fighting without fear of death, then there would be battles in the future, and Flitz did not know that this Guards Division was a Soviet army that had not been affected by the Great Purge, so it had such combat effectiveness, and other Soviet units should not be mentioned.

The Soviet army's fierce counterattack still caused some damage to Flitze, five tanks were blown up and the tracks were destroyed, this is a small problem, some cottage 99 engines were blown up, and then caught fire and burned, this cottage 99 tank had to be sent back to Warsaw for overhaul before it could be used. This left Frieze's heart aching.

"Bang bang...... Bang bang bang...... Click...... Rumble......"

The whole city of Niov was shrouded in the flames of war, Flitz rushed the fastest because of the direct support of the helicopter, and the terrifying rate of fire of the MG42 machine guns on both sides of the helicopter was enough to make everything that came out of the window of the Soviet army into a sieve, but the helicopter was not omnipotent, and the Soviet army also had anti-aircraft weapons.

"Click...... Rumble...... Woowoo woo ......"

The FA223 helicopter that flew at the front was hit by a 37-mm anti-aircraft gun, whimpered and crashed directly into the building on the side of the street, and suddenly turned into a fireball and exploded down, of course, the anti-aircraft gun was greeted by the siege of countless FA223 helicopters, and all the gunners of the Soviet army would become a sieve.

After all, the carrying capacity of the FA223 transport helicopter is only 2 tons, and the steel plate installed is not very thick, so there is no problem in blocking the machine gun, but there is nothing that can be done against the 37-mm anti-aircraft gun, and it is normal to be shot down.

Flitz was determined to take the city hall building in Nioff in one fell swoop, and he didn't care about the casualties at all, but still ordered his armored assault group to rush forward. Soon the municipal building in Nyoff came into view.

……

Buvelevsky-Young's headquarters was in the city hall in Niov, and all kinds of telegrams for help from all over the city were drifting like snowflakes, and Buverevsky-Young's mobile regiment had already been dispatched, and there was only one guard company left in the entire municipal building.

For a veteran like Buverevsky-Young, it was impossible for someone who was infinitely loyal to Stalin to surrender, and when the German figure appeared in front of the municipal building, Buverevsky-Young knew that his troops were almost finished, and what was the end of his own, Buverevsky-Young gave an order to his guard company commander to fight to the last soldier, and let the guard company commander withdraw from his office.

"Bang ......"

As soon as the guard company exited Buvelevsky-Young's office, a gunshot was heard inside, and the commander of the guard company hurriedly rushed into the office, and Buvelevsky-Young was already lying in a pool of blood, and he shot himself.

In the end, the commander of the guard company conscientiously carried out the order of Buvelevsky-Young, and fought to the death, and the Soviet troops of the entire guard company were finally bombarded by Frieze's tank shelling and collapsed the municipal building and buried alive in the rubble......
