"Uncle's! The Germans have done their homework this time! Xu Huaide is also holding a photo in his hand, but the definition of this photo is much higher, because this photo was not taken by an airplane, but by intelligence officers, and now, when the two sides are about to start the film, it finally arrived in Xu Huaide's hands! Although the aviation reconnaissance two days ago also found some huge new toys in the German armored forces, when everything became a fact, Xu Huaide couldn't help but scold! The appearance of these things has made some variables in his plan!

"I thought that this time I could crush the opponent like during the Iranian civil war, but now it seems that I am afraid that it will not work! The Germans are fast enough this time. Tiger tank destroyers are already massively equipped with troops! Xu Huaide muttered to himself. As a veteran armored commander and semi-pull technical officer. He has a clear understanding of the gap between tanks and tank destroyers of the same kind of territory, and generally speaking, the combat effectiveness of the latter will be at least a notch higher than the former! More powerful guns, thicker armor, and similar speed, plus better concealment thanks to the elimination of the turret!

If nothing else, the battle will start tomorrow, and at this time the commander finds that the plan has not caught up with the change, which is undoubtedly the saddest thing on the battlefield. But fortunately, now Xu Huaide still has half a day to adjust his deployment. The number of heavy tanks in the Huaxia Legion was originally less than that of the opponent, and the fundamental reason why Xu Huaide dared to fight hard was because of the quality advantage, but in the face of this kind of big guy who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Xu Huaide was not sure that he would be able to break through the opponent's defense line. God knows what caliber heavy artillery the Germans pressed on the tank this time!

"The new tank destroyers are positioned further back, and it seems that Guderian intends to use them as a counter-assault force. On the front is still the German heavy tank battalion. As long as we can control the speed of our advance after launching an attack, we can crush the opponent's attack spearhead. Immediately switch to the defensive, then we will not have a problem maintaining the station line at least. ”

"I think the real decision was the flanks, our medium tank had a big advantage over the Germans' No. 4. If we allocate a part of the Dragon tank to guide the Type 35 medium tank to carry out a surprise attack, crush the opponent's flank, and then flank the opponent's main force, our chances of victory are still very good. In the Iranian civil war, Meng Yan, who used to make a big fuss behind the Germans with only small troops, has become the battalion commander of the Huaxia Heavy Battalion, and Meng Yan, who has rich experience in front-line operations, put forward his own views.

"Our Dragon tanks are already inferior to the opponent's Tiger tanks. Coupled with the new tank destroyers that have just come out, the gap in numbers will be even greater for us, and will it be too dangerous to do so? An officer asked.

"There is no safety in war! It is difficult for us to take advantage of the positive stubbornness, and the only way is to avoid the real and the virtual. Pull up the large-caliber anti-aircraft guns assigned to us, deploy them on both flanks, and if the Germans want to break through our lines, let's fight the anti-aircraft guns on the flanks first! "Xu Huaide finally decided to adopt Meng Yan's tactics." Deploy a few more Tempest rocket launchers on the flanks to suppress the opposing anti-tank guns and infantry. Meng Yan, you are responsible for the flank detour. Be sure to be fast and don't worry about your back road. ”

When the sun rose from the sky again, the first major collision between the Chinese and German armies in World War 2 finally kicked off! Half of the sky was covered by dust raised by a large number of vehicles moving through the desert. The two sides can judge each other's direction from a great distance by aerial reconnaissance and noisy dust.

"Prepare to take the enemy!" When the distance between the two sides approached a certain threshold, the Huaxia forces began to deploy. THE LONG-RANGE 155MM HEAVY ARTILLERY UNIT WAS THE FIRST TO STOP. Tractors stopped, and crew members jumped out of their trucks and began to unload their guns and pull open the gun mounts for pre-firing commissioning. One cannon after another raised its muzzle. And a large number of shells were also unloaded from ammunition trucks. Specialized technicians began to open the fuse and install the fuse.

Powerful armoured units and vehicles towing anti-aircraft guns also began to unfold. With the help of sappers, anti-aircraft artillery vehicles and a small number of tank destroyers formed a line of defense. They are Xu Huaide's last safety rope. In the event of a frontal collapse, these anti-aircraft guns and tank destroyers would be tasked with holding back the German onslaught. POWERFUL 90MM AND EVEN 105MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS WERE UNLOADED FROM THE TRACTOR. The huge cross-shaped gun carriage pulled apart. Originally, there would be no 105MM anti-aircraft guns in ordinary division-sized troops, but considering the performance of Tiger tanks in the European battlefield, these weapons that are more professional than fighting planes were temporarily strengthened to Xu Huaide, and they were also the key to Xu Huaide's courage to divide troops and outflank.

These are just Xu Huaide's strong shields, and the real decisive force in his hands is the Dragon tank and the Type 35 medium tank, Xu Huaide decisively dismantled his heavy armored battalion, and assigned one-third of its troops to Meng Yan on the flank. THE FRONTAL DEFENSE WAS ENSURED ENTIRELY BY 40 DRAGON TANKS, AN IMPROVED TYPE 29 TANK DESTROYER, AND A REINFORCED 105MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUN. Meng Yan will command the remaining 20 Dragon tanks and 70 Type 35 medium tanks to attack from the flanks under the cover of mechanized infantry and rocket artillery. In terms of troops, Xu Huaide took the risk of dividing the forces evenly to meet the battle.

"The troops have completed their deployment, and the two sides will meet in half an hour." Staff Officer reported.

"Very good, let Meng Yan not be in a hurry, find the right opportunity to go again. There will be no problem with the front. At this time, Xu Huaide quieted down, and the tension before the battle gradually disappeared with the preparation of various troops. Now that you have all kinds of plans in place, what is there to be afraid of? Xu Huaide smiled slightly, picked up the coffee next to him and took a sip. Come on, let me see how the German Army has grown in recent years! ”

And the German troops on the opposite side also made some arrangements. Originally, Guderian thought that he was full of good cards, and to put it mildly, he didn't know how he lost. However, after many battles with Huaxia. Guderian also realized that some things could not be calculated according to common sense, so he also tended to be conservative. He first deployed all of his anti-aircraft guns and a portion of the No. 4 tank destroyer on both flanks. Ensure that the flanks will not be pierced by the Huaxia Type 29 tanks.

Then a whole heavy battalion formed a sharp, armored spearhead as the main force of the storm. And behind this heavy battalion, there are 24 Tiger Hunter heavy tank destroyers! How to block the attack front line composed of 80 60 giant beasts in the front? Look at the rapidly unfolding attacking force in front of you. The roar of a high-powered engine echoed in my ears. Heavy armor, powerful artillery. This is the current version of the Teutonic Heavy Rider! And after these tanks, there was a large number of No. 4 tanks. As long as the heavy troops in front can cut through the opponent's defenses, then the hundreds of subsequent No. 4 tanks can easily tear the opponent's fragile rear apart. Feel the shaking of the earth and witness the attack of hundreds of tanks. Guderian felt his blood begin to boil!

The roar of nearly a thousand tanks and combat vehicles of all kinds resounded in the sky. The dust raised from the dry ground even obscured the huge convoy, and from a distance, the steel behemoth could be seen looming in the dusky clouds of dust. Test firing of long-range artillery on both sides has already begun. With a violent explosion, plumes of smoke rose from the ground. In the last period of time before engaging the enemy, both sides have completed the adjustment of formation, and use the binoculars to carefully observe the new guys who have never appeared on the battlefield!

"Our front is full of Tiger tanks. They put on the wedge offensive that the Germans were accustomed to. It should be behind a tank four or tank destroyer. Those legendary Tiger tank destroyers did not appear in sight. Qu Shaoming opened the hatch on the turret and carefully observed the enemy in front of him. The Germans did put in the main force, but there were reservations, at least the presence that the Chinese Army feared most did not appear in the first round of the two sides.

"The Germans flanked completely defensively, with no heavy armored units in sight, and their tank destroyers and anti-tank guns built their defenses against the terrain. The Tiger tank and its variants were not seen. On the other side, Meng Yan, who was in charge of detouring from the right flank, also sent the investigation to Xu Huaide by telegram.

"The Germans were cautious this time." Xu Huaide threw the pencil in his hand. Guderian's dispatch was already clear, the entire German army contracted into a fist, pressed by the overwhelming force of Mount Tai, and Guderian was not overconfident in his numerical superiority. He narrowed the attack surface, and at the same time left enough reserves in his hands, even if the frontal Tiger assault group attack was thwarted, his Tiger Hunter tank destroyer could still stabilize the situation. It is not impossible to even continue the offensive. And if China wants to win, it must let the Germans put in the reserves as soon as possible, otherwise. The detour of Meng Yan's flank may also be blocked by the German reserves!

"This is the Huaxia Dragon tank, but look at its round turret. I think it's probably more appropriate to call it a turtle. Bremani said as he looked through the gap in the conning tower as he looked at his opponent in the distance. And this slightly witty statement made the already tense spirits of the crew members relax a little, and some even laughed out loud. Taunts in words do not solve any problems on the battlefield. Bremanny's gunners soon discovered that the opponent was a little lower than the German tanks of the same class. This creates certain difficulties with aiming,

An invisible line separates the tanks on both sides. Before engaging the enemy, the armored troops of the two sides carefully patrolled at a distance of about 1,500 meters, and the grassroots commanders contacted their subordinates through the radio for the last time, making the final steps before the engagement, and the front line gradually widened. The Germans finally couldn't wait, and the first wave of attacking Tiger tanks suddenly accelerated. And when the two sides met 1200 meters, the first round of test firing was played! Clusters of orange flames erupted from the muzzle of the gun, and along with the reseat of the gun, a shell with an exit speed of nearly 3 times the speed of sound flew towards the target!

In less than 2 seconds, a round of shells fell in the formation of the advancing Huaxia armored forces, and more than half of the shells missed, which had no effect except to explode a cloud of smoke on the ground. However, several shells still hit targets in the smoke screen. The heavy sloping armor and round turret of the Dragon tank were punctuated by terrifying crashing sounds. Qu Shaoming's car, which was slightly ahead of the test, was first set on fire because of the hated wires pulled on the turret, and in just a dozen seconds, it was hit 3 times in a row!

"Keep going, the Germans can't do anything with our artillery fire, Lao Tzu personally experimented!" Qu Shaoming, who was shocked, not only did not panic but breathed a sigh of relief, in his opinion, the experimental results of the army's technical part were quite reliable, and the artillery of the Tiger tank did not cause any other effects except for leaving a few pits in the frontal armor of the Dragon tank.

After the Germans opened fire, the Huaxia armored forces also began to enter the test firing stage, but unlike the Germans, the coaxial machine guns used by the Huaxia Army side by side with artillery, with the new horizontal and vertical stabilization equipment, the machine guns have a better calibration effect. Unlike Germany's powerful school shooting, Huaxia's armored behemoths all used large-caliber machine guns to fire tracer rounds to indicate their targets in the first round. One by one, locust-like photoelectric scurried in front of the German tank array, and many of them struck the heavy armor plates of the Tiger type, shooting out sparks one by one.

"Attention! Their counterattack began! As a veteran fritter who participated in the Iran War, Bremani is very familiar with the techniques and tactics of the Chinese armored forces. He knew very well that the elite of the Chinese army could lock on to the target with 2 to 3 short-range shots from machine guns. At this time, in addition to pinning your hopes on the other party's poor accuracy, the only thing you can do is to release a smoke screen or perform maneuvering evasion actions such as emergency stops!

"Stop!" With Blemanny's order, the huge Tiger tank slammed, and the huge inertia made Bremani's body rush forward, and then a loud noise came from his side, and a huge fireball fell in front of the tank, blasting a crater in the ground. With just the right stop, Bremani dodged the blow. However, not all German tankers had this experience and luck, and a German tank that was too far forward suddenly burst into flames. Then it slowly stopped, and a large amount of smoke and flames poured out of the car. If nothing else, the driver of this tank has already been killed.
