The Germans, who were engaged with the mechanized infantry regiment, finally boosted their morale when they saw the arrival of their reinforcements, and it seemed that the machine-gun fire was more vigorous.

Each tank of the mechanized infantry regiment had an inter-vehicle communication system, and the fighters received an order to retreat almost at the same time, and almost all the combat vehicles, braving the fire of German machine guns, began to turn around and began to prepare for retreat.

The direction of the retreat of the fighters is the defense area of the 1st Army, as long as they enter the defense area of the 1st Army, they will be completely safe, and these tanks of the German army will definitely not dare to chase into the defense area of the 1st Army.

Although there were still 60 or 70 half-track tanks in the German army, which were engaged with the fighters, the main armament of these tanks was 7.92 mm machine guns, and there was no way to stop the retreat of the fighters.

The German tanks that rushed to reinforce them, especially the tanks, saw that the mechanized infantry regiment was retreating, and they also increased their speed to the maximum and rushed over at high speed.

The speed of the German tanks was not slow, the speed of the mechanized infantry regiment was even faster, the distance between the two sides gradually increased, and the distance was widened, and the Germans chased for several kilometers, seeing that the Chinese tank group was gradually moving away, they could only return helplessly.

Further on, it was time to approach the defense zone of the 1st Army, and these German troops could only return and watch the Chinese army march away.

The German tanks, the German half-track combat vehicles, did not take long to return to the area where the battle had just begun, and the Germans looked at the battlefield, one after another the combat vehicles destroyed by the Chinese army, many German officers, and many German soldiers were not at all uncomfortable.

In the contest with the Chinese army just now, there is no doubt that he has suffered another fiasco. On the battlefield, the wreckage of German combat vehicles is well explained.

The Germans rushed to reinforce dozens of tanks, hundreds of half-tracks were infantry fighting vehicles, the purpose was to annihilate this tank group of the Chinese army, and another more important purpose was to hope to destroy the artillery group of the Chinese army.

Just now, the rocket artillery regiment dealt a fatal blow to the German heavy artillery group, and the Germans wanted revenge, so they sent almost all of their tanks. A large number of half-track combat vehicles.

In the eyes of the Germans. The Chinese unit that had just fired a large number of shells at the position of its heavy artillery group was undoubtedly a heavy artillery group, although it was not known what kind of mysterious weapons this Chinese army was equipped with, and so many shells were fired in such a short period of time.

In the eyes of the Germans. Since it is a heavy artillery group. It's certainly not too late to go far. One of the purposes of sending out so many tanks, even a large number of tanks, is to get revenge. Destroy this heavy artillery group of the Chinese army.

However, the German plan was frustrated, the rocket artillery regiment had long since left, and the Chinese tank group that was engaged with the Germans also flew away under their noses.

********

Command of the 1st Army.

The various situations on the front line are summarized here in a very timely manner, and many staff officers and command personnel are busy, and in the command headquarters, soldiers are coming in and out.

In the command hall, Wang Haiyang was giving an order, giving an order to shell the German army, the first wave of the 1st Army's attack on the German army was the bombardment of heavy artillery groups, and the second wave of strikes would be a large number of combat vehicles, leading the soldiers to launch a large-scale charge.

Now, almost all the heavy artillery of the 100-mm caliber of the German troops stationed near the small city of Gary were destroyed in an instant, and the heavy artillery group of the 1st Army could open fire with confidence.

Nine a.m.

When everything was ready, several heavy artillery groups of the 1st Army roared in unison, and more than two hundred heavy guns began to carry out a large-scale terrorist shelling of the German army.

The 1st Army was armed with one heavy artillery brigade armed with 72 155-mm howitzers, and each of the three infantry divisions had an artillery regiment, each armed with 60 155-mm self-propelled howitzers.

Two artillery regiments of the heavy artillery brigade, three artillery regiments of the three infantry divisions, a total of five artillery regiments, and five heavy artillery groups took the lead in launching artillery attacks on the German army.

Almost at the same time, at least five defensive positions of the German army were shelled, and the overwhelming heavy artillery fire roared in, and the Germans never expected that the artillery fire of the 1st Army would come so quickly and so violently.

The small town of Gary, the headquarters of the German army.

Hearing the heavy shelling outside, the faces of several senior officers of the German army turned a little pale, and these German commanders knew that the Chinese army had made a move on them.

Sure enough, soon a German officer came in to report, and after listening to the report, these German officers glanced at each other, and they all saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.

More than 10,000 German troops, without heavy artillery and air support, it is simply impossible to hold here, and these senior German officers naturally know this.

In the North African theater, German planes were successively fatally attacked by the Chinese army, and hundreds of planes were shot down.

*********

Inside the city, the German high-level was urgently calling for help, and outside the city, the German positions were being violently attacked.

A few kilometers outside the city, the Germans built a lot of positions, and a large number of anti-aircraft guns were also deployed on the positions, 37 mm anti-aircraft guns, 50 mm anti-aircraft guns.

Even, some 88-mm anti-aircraft guns were deployed on the positions of the German army, and the excellent anti-tank capabilities of the 88-mm anti-aircraft guns were used by the Germans against the tank groups of the Chinese army.

On the German positions, various small-caliber artillery pieces were also deployed, such as mountain artillery, infantry artillery, mortars, etc., and there were quite a few of them.

These Germans knew that the Chinese army was equipped with a large number of combat vehicles, and the Germans deployed so many artillery and anti-tank guns on the forward positions outside the city in order to deal with the Chinese army's tank groups.

However, the German plan was largely frustrated, and the Chinese army did not first launch a large-scale chariot charge, but used a large number of heavy artillery.

West.

This is a Gobi Desert, where stones, gravel, and some low drought-tolerant plants can be seen everywhere, and thousands of German troops have built a huge position here, on which trenches, sandbags are built everywhere, and even artillery, especially a large number of anti-defense guns, can be seen everywhere.

In such a position, even if the 1st Army dispatches a large number of tanks and leads the soldiers to attack, it is estimated that the losses will not be small, and these German anti-aircraft guns pose a great threat to Chinese tanks.

Now, however, the German position was under heavy shelling, and about six or seven kilometers from here, a full 60 105-mm howitzers were pouring shells on a huge artillery position of the 1st Army.

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

One after another, the shells resounded intensively on the German positions, and every shell exploded, and the sand and stones flew sideways, mixed with many German stumps and broken arms, and it seemed that the German losses were not light.

With a loud "boom", a shell exploded next to a 37-mm anti-aircraft gun on the German position, and several German artillerymen around the anti-aircraft gun were directly blown away, and a crater of several meters appeared at the explosion point, and the anti-aircraft gun was also directly scrapped.

On this German position, a small mortar gun emplacement, consisting of four mortars, was also fatally hit by a shell.

This shell blossomed in the center of this small mortar position, and with a loud "boom", these erected mortars were blown away, and several boxes of mortar shells on the position were also killed, and more than a dozen German soldiers next to them were also killed.

On the positions of the German army, there were not only all kinds of artillery, but also quite a few vehicles, some cars, and some combat vehicles.

A lot of cars, a lot of chariots also turned into piles of scrap metal under the violent explosion.

In the distance, a large truck was hit by a 105-mm shell, and with a loud "boom", the car was completely disintegrated, and after the explosion, only a pile of smoke and wreckage were left at the scene.

In addition, almost at the same time, not far from the truck, a half-track armored transporter was also hit by a shell, and after the explosion of "boom", the armored car was completely deformed, and all the Germans in the car were killed alive.

In the distance, less than two or three kilometers from here, a large number of fighters of the 1st Army were ready for battle and were waiting for the shelling to end.

At present, the units of the 1st Army have entered their designated positions, on the periphery of the German positions, a few kilometers away from the German positions, and everyone is ready to launch a large-scale attack as soon as the time for the general attack comes.

Two or three kilometers away from this German position, the soldiers were a tank regiment, two infantry regiments, and hundreds of tanks of the tank regiment, lined up on this Gobi Desert, and behind the tank group were a large number of soldiers with weapons and ready to attack with these tanks.

This position of the German army was under heavy shelling, and the soldiers watched with great interest, and some commanders, holding their own binoculars, looked at the German position in the distance filled with gunsmoke and the rumbling of artillery with joyful faces.

Seeing that their artillery was so mighty, these officers and men who watched from time to time let out bursts of cheers, especially the commanders and comrades holding binoculars, who saw more clearly, saw the wonderful points, and did not forget to praise them again and again.

Some soldiers who did not have binoculars also stretched their necks and stared intently into the distance, in the distance, large-scale shelling, the scene was very spectacular.

The shelling continued, the fighters were ready for the attack, and now they had a rare free time, and everyone admired it with relish.
