Hu Hao and Bai Chongxi discussed from the conference room the possibility of fighting the enemy to counterattack again this time, and on the front line, Wan Xinglong was ordering the troops not to pursue.

Because according to the reconnaissance report of the air force, the enemy's armored forces were rapidly approaching, Wan Xinglong, after receiving such a telegram, immediately ordered the troops to stop the pursuit and return to the defensive line.

At about 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the German armored troops reached the side of the defensive line, but they did not dare to approach at all, because their vanguard force, more than 100,000 people, was routed by the Chinese army in one morning, and now they are also waiting for the large force behind to come up.

"Damn, one morning, one morning, our more than 100,000 troops were wiped out, how did our front-line commanders fight?" Rommel was responsible for this attack on the Soviet Union from the direction of Europe,

But in one morning, his 3 armored divisions, 1 artillery division, and 3 infantry divisions were almost completely wiped out, and less than 20,000 people went back, and the rest were either dead or seriously wounded.

The armored vehicles and artillery units were all wiped out, and the air force also lost hundreds of planes in order to save the forward troops this time, although these losses were nothing to Germany, but Rommel had to know how his troops failed, why the casualties were so large, and so fast!

"Report, some middle-level commanders of the vanguard we have found and are now outside!" When a German staff officer arrived at the provisional headquarters, he said to Rommel.

"Call in!" Rommel said with a grim face.

"Yes!" The staff officer went to do it right away, very quickly. A couple of infantry colonels and an artillery colonel arrived at Rommel's headquarters.

"Hello General!" Several colonels stood up straight and saluted Rommel and shouted.

"Well, I ask you. Why did our troops rout so quickly, from the launch of the attack to the total rout in less than three hours, you explained to me in detail, now you are the highest rank officer of the combat unit, I want to know, what happened this morning.

"Yes!" The colonels immediately saluted and shouted.

"Well, say it one by one! It starts with you! Rommel nodded to the colonel on the far right. He was a colonel of artillery.

"Yes, General, we had a busy night last night. Artillery positions were arranged, on our perimeter we set up a cordon of at least 3 km, but this morning. We were having breakfast. Under heavy enemy shelling, many of our soldiers did not escape from the shelling, and after the Chinese army stopped shelling,

We thought the attack was over, but at this time, the enemy's helicopter units were dispatched and launched a direct attack on our artillery, our division commander. The deputy division commander and the chief of staff were all sacrificed. And most of our soldiers were killed in this enemy attack! The colonel immediately reported.

"Well, the enemy attacked at the right time for your breakfast, how did they know about our artillery positions?" When Rommel heard this, he immediately asked the lieutenant colonel,

"We also don't understand this problem very much, our cordon is set up very high, and all our troops are all around us, and the enemy's scouts will definitely not be able to find our artillery positions in one night.

But this morning's offensive showed that the enemy had identified our artillery positions in advance, and that the shelling had also been launched! Therefore, our division commander did not figure out this problem until he died!" The artillery colonel said immediately.

"Well, what about you, what do you say?" When Rommel heard what the colonel had said, he asked the infantry colonel next to him.

"General, as soon as the enemy launched an attack on our artillery, our commander gave the order to attack in advance, and our armored forces advanced at full speed, and then our infantry followed,

But the enemy's artillery, having finished bombarding our artillery positions, immediately began to bombard our infantry, a large part of our infantry died at this time, and our armored division was about 1 km from the enemy.

Our tanks were hit by very heavy enemy fire, this kind of weapon we have never seen before, they were able to fire hundreds of shells in an instant, no, armor-piercing shells, our tanks were heavily damaged by the enemy in this round of enemy attack,

And when we broke through to the enemy's position of three or four hundred meters, the enemy put a lot of anti-tank obstacles on the position, and as soon as our speed came, the enemy's bazooka started, and at this time our armored vehicles suffered great losses, but not without the strength to attack.

But twenty minutes later, the previous weapon attacked again, and this time, our losses were heavy, and our tanks were not much left at this time.

But immediately the enemy's helicopter units were dispatched again, and they could actually fire armor-piercing shells, which directly destroyed all our tanks, and then their helicopters began to strafe in the air, and then the enemy's counter-charge was launched, and their tanks also drove out.

In this way, our corps commander gave the order to retreat, but by this time, it was already too late, and it was impossible for our soldiers to outrun the enemy's tanks, so! When the lieutenant colonel said this, he bowed his head.

"Is that so?" Rommel was also shocked at this time, he didn't dare to imagine that his tank troops were completely wiped out in less than 40 minutes after launching the attack, and the enemy's tanks had not been dispatched at all.

"Yes, China must have developed new weapons, otherwise, our tanks would not have been destroyed by the enemy so quickly, too fast, so fast that we simply did not have enough time to react! There was no problem of Zài's command error in this rout,

According to common sense, we are going to attack, so in the case of our artillery being shelled by the enemy, we can only attack in advance, and if we retreat, our casualties may be greater.

But in fact, on the contrary, we know that the enemy has bazookas, but if we have enough infantry to assist the tanks, the enemy's bazookas will not be able to defeat all our tanks, but in fact, we did not even rush into the first 100 meters of the enemy's position! A colonel next to him said immediately.

"You mean that the enemy has prepared weapons specifically to attack our tank clusters, and to attack our tank clusters?" Rommel asked again in surprise.

"Yes, and their helicopters also have this function of firing armor-piercing shells, and in the late stages of the battle, most of our tanks were destroyed by enemy helicopters!" The other colonel said immediately.

Rommel had a bit of a headache at this time, their side could count on breaking through the enemy's defenses with armored vehicles, but now it seems that it will not work at all, the enemy has been prepared for a long time!

"General, this matter needs to be reported to the other troops, otherwise our attack may be similarly thwarted!" The second lieutenant colonel on the right immediately said.

"Well, okay, you go now, there will be arrangements for you!" Rommel nodded, waved his hand at the lieutenant colonels, and said.

"Yes," the lieutenant colonels all saluted, and then turned to leave. But Rommel was worried at this time, this time he brought 800,000 troops as the first echelon of the attack, originally this morning's attack, it was a tentative attack of the vanguard troops, and at the same time of testing, to see if the enemy's defense line could be broken, but I didn't expect that the whole army would be annihilated!

"Come, send a telegram to Your Excellency the Führer, saying that our vanguard has been routed in the offensive, that our three divisions of tank units have been annihilated, and that in the course of our attack we have found that the Chinese army is equipped with a new weapon, which is the intensive firing of armor-piercing shells, which has dealt a devastating blow to our tank clusters,

And it seems that the enemy's helicopters are also equipped with such weapons, and I hope that Your Excellency will be able to advance the attacking troops from other directions! Don't suffer a similar defeat, and in addition, I hope that Your Excellency will ask the intelligence agencies to find out what kind of weapons the Chinese troops are equipped with! "Where did Rommel dict,

The staff officer next to him was also quickly remembering. When he had finished, the chief of staff next to him came to Rommel's side and asked. "What are we going to do now?"

"The whole line continued before the test, and at a position ten kilometers from the enemy's line of defense, fortifications were built!" Rommel said immediately.

"Repair anti-epidemic fortifications? We are here to attack, and there is not much time for us above, and we still have to repair anti-epidemic fortifications! The staff officer asked, very puzzled.

"Well, repair the epidemic prevention fortifications, our opponent is not a person who only takes a beating and does not fight back, I feel that if we are a little careless, the enemy will be able to attack immediately!" Rommel nodded immediately.

In Hu Hao's headquarters, Hu Hao was also calling the Air Force Command at this time.

"You can start bombing this afternoon, lure me out all the enemy's new fighters, and observe how many new fighters the enemy is facing in Europe!" Hu Hao commanded to Air Force Commander Lin Tian.

"Understood, Brother Hao, don't worry! This time, we have to let those Germans who come to attack know that modern warfare is the world of the air force, and whoever has air supremacy will control the direction of the war, and the air supremacy of Europe is ours! Air Force Commander Lin Tian said confidently to Hu Hao.

"Well, but it is also necessary to pay attention to the fact that the bombers can be dispatched later, if the air force that provokes Germany does not come out, then the bombers will be dispatched, Rommel will definitely order all the fighters in the European direction to take off!" Hu Hao reminded Lin Tian and said. (To be continued......)
