Chapter 43: Intermission
You must know that on the battlefield of World War II, the largest towed artillery used by the United States and the Soviet Union was nothing more than the M1 155mm towed gun of the US military.
Even this, it is just supporting the firepower of the division.
On a battlefield like this, the use of 105-mm towed artillery is already skyrocketing.
The rate of fire of the 2S7 self-propelled gun was 2 rounds per minute, and in 5 minutes, Fan Bufan's troops fired 240 shells.
This round of shelling hit the morale of both the United States and the Soviet Union to a low point.
"Command, we are under attack from the main forces of the German army. We need support, repeat, we need support. "Looking at the countless dead and wounded soldiers, the commanders at the front line despaired.
It was already 1945, and the entire Allies, both the Axis powers, were tired of the war.
Their biggest wish now is to be able to go home early.
Now, when they were attacked by such firepower all of a sudden, the resentment in their hearts completely exploded.
Seeing the way his men looked now, the commander knew that they had no intention of fighting.
Even the commanders themselves are the same.
"Retreat, instead of waiting here to die, it's better to leave this damn battlefield before the other party attacks." The commander said to his adjutant.
With the departure of the American troops in the western battlefield, Fan Bufan's pressure suddenly decreased.
However, the Eastern Battlefield was not so lucky.
For the Soviet soldiers, for them there was no such thing as retreat.
The commander of the front believed that since the opposing side had such heavy artillery fire.
Then it's better to let the troops rush forward, mix with the other side and let the other side throw a rat trap, and there is no way to continue to use this huge artillery.
"The troops attacked, mixed with each other." The commander of the Soviet troops said.
Through the return of the front-line scouts, Riley learned about the eastward direction of the Soviet army.
So, he ordered the self-propelled guns to continue firing and deplete the Soviet forces.
After this situation in the Western Theater, Todd also brought his self-propelled guns into the battle.
Every time a shell fell, it took countless soldiers with it.
They were either blown up or shocked to death by the shockwave.
As the Soviet soldiers got closer, the self-propelled guns slowly stopped firing.
Riley knew that the time to put these recruits to the test.
When the dense Soviet soldiers came to a distance of 300 meters from Riley, Fan Bufan's soldiers opened fire.
Fan Bufan's soldiers, very ironically, used the Soviet-made equipment in their hands to kill these extremely heroic Soviet soldiers.
The Soviet soldiers were accompanied by a large number of Soviet-made T-34 and T-44 tanks.
Seeing the tank troops entering the field, Riley also asked more than 50 T-72s in his hands to deal with the huge number of Soviet tank troops.
For a time, the shells of both sides came and went.
However, the Soviet tank forces soon entered to the despair of discovering that their artillery could not penetrate the front armor of the opposing tanks.
And the Soviet infantry also found that the opposing side was small in number.
However, the rate of fire of the weapons in their hands is simply not comparable to them.
The Mosin Nagant and SVT-40 semi-automatic rifles in their hands are not of the same level as each other at all.
The only thing that can be compared may be the PPS submachine gun in the hands of elite soldiers.
However, the shooting range and lethality of the Bobosha submachine gun were no match for the AK47, and they could only desperately use the number of people to fill the firepower gap.
Seeing that the battlefield had entered a stalemate, Riley let the gunship unit enter the battlefield.
Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, these Soviet soldiers finally had enough of being beaten and began to rout.
With the defeat of groups of soldiers, the Soviet armored forces, which were unable to support themselves, had no choice but to leave the battlefield.
Seeing the evacuation of the Soviet soldiers, Fan Bufan's soldiers began to clean up the battlefield.
After counting, there was no damage on the battlefield on the Western Front because of the direct withdrawal of US troops.
The battlefield on the Eastern Front was different, because of the huge crowd tactics of Soviet soldiers, although Riley won the battle.
But it was only a pyrrhic victory, the tank was not damaged, but half of the tracks were damaged.
Armored vehicles suffered the most serious losses, a third of them were destroyed.
But fortunately, the bodies of the soldiers of the Eagle Battalion were preserved, and Fan Bufan could continue to resurrect them.
And the infantry units, two-thirds of the dead and wounded.
Basically, there is no combat power anymore.
The only ones who were not damaged were the helicopter gunships.
Seeing this situation, Fan Bufan knew that it was very difficult for An Zhao's original plan.
So, Fan Bufan ordered Todd and them to go all out to defend the battlefield on the Eastern Front.
As for the Western Front battlefield, Fan Bufan issued a new order for Todd 3: change the mission and snipe all the troops he saw.
This order is basically to give up Todd and them.
The next day, Fan Bufan received the news by radio that the American troops on the Western Front were being sniped by unknown forces.
Fan Bufan knew that it was Todd who was in action.
On the Soviet side, after this painful experience, the whole day was very quiet.
But Fan Bufan knew that this was the calm before the storm.
On the third day, Price they returned.
"How's Price?" Fan Bufan couldn't wait to ask.
Price nodded: "We have successfully blown up, the enemy's headquarters. With the current situation, they can be quiet for at least two days. ”
"Great, how did you do it?" Fan Bufan asked.
Price smiled: "It's very simple, we used Javelin missiles to bomb the opponent's headquarters from a long distance. ”
"Well, you guys really figured it out. Alright, you can go back and recuperate. Fan Bufan couldn't help but admire.
"Okay boss, if there is anything that needs to be notified, feel free to know." After saying that, Price took his men and returned to the other world through the gate of time and space.
Sure enough, as Price said, the entire Soviet army was unusually quiet on the third day.
And the American troops on the Western Front have gathered a division of troops after two days of assembly.
Upon learning of this, Fan Bufan quickly asked the robots and troops to evacuate the battlefield.
Subsequently, before the US military launched an attack, Fan Bufan secretly took advantage of the night to leave here in a helicopter.
On the road, Fan Bufan was cautious all the way.
As soon as you see a fixed-wing aircraft, you immediately land and dodge.
It doesn't matter if it is discovered, the one Fan Bufan is riding in is a Mi-24F type.
In addition to the on-board machine guns, the rest of the hardpoints are equipped with air-to-air missiles.
Five hours later, Fan Bufan arrived in Brno, the second largest city in the Czech Republic.
The city was bombed by the Soviet Union and is now completely in Soviet hands.
Coming to Brno, Fan Bufan sent the helicopter back to another world and came to the city alone.
Entering the city, Fan Bufan saw many Soviet soldiers patrolling.
Ignoring them, Fan Bufan cautiously came to the target location this time, the headquarters of the Skoda Arsenal.
It's a pity that it was bombed by the Soviet Union and turned into ruins.
Disappointed, Fan Bufan had to return to the outside of the city.
Summoning a helicopter again, Fan Bufan returned the same way and flew towards Germany.
After a few hours of flying, Fan Bufan arrived at his destination in Augsburg.
The most attractive thing about Fan Bufan here is that there is a German Messerschmidt aircraft manufacturing factory.
After Fan Bufan came here, he did not gather troops at the first time.
After all, during this period of tossing, the troops need to take a break.
Back in the other world, Fan Bufan took the brain disc sent by Riley and came to the clone factory.
After uploading all the brain disks to the computer, Fan Bufan began to clone people.
In total, more than 500 people needed to be resurrected, and some of them could not be treated because of their serious injuries, so they were shot by Riley and their pain was relieved.
Clones are very slow to make, only twenty people can be made in half an hour.
It took half a day for Fan Bufan to resurrect all the soldiers who had died in battle.
"Ma Dan, Lao Tzu died twice a month, who can compare." Although Wang Wenjie was resurrected, he still felt that the wound before his death was still faintly painful.
"Is this what death feels like? It's uncomfortable. Li Hu felt that the whole person was not good.
Seeing that the resurrected soldiers were all dressed, Fan Bufan said: "There will be a helicopter to send you to the camp later, and you will have a good rest after you go back." I have informed the cafeteria to give you extra meals in the evening to celebrate your rebirth. ”
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief." All the soldiers thanked loudly.
"You deserve it, rest well. Rest for a few days, there will be a big battle ahead. I hope you will use these few days to discuss your own shortcomings. Fan Bufan said.
Subsequently, Fan Bufan led them to the ground through the elevator.
There, there are already waiting helicopters to take them to camp.
