In the first round, the defenders lost.
It can be said that the Soviets are still very witty. Originally, Major General Aresca was prepared to eat all the Soviet tank troops that burst out suddenly. As a result, the opponent actually retracted at a critical time!
This shrinkage caused oneself to waste this good opportunity. If the two sides were on the **** just now, then oneself must have suffered a loss. After all, one's own tank cannot withstand the blow of the 76mm tank gun, but the Soviets will be even worse, they will completely annihilated.
Under the eyes of those defenders, destroying their tank troops, this scene, thinking about it, is very conquering, but unfortunately, there is no such opportunity now.
The other party retracted.
At the same time, Major General Areesca did not continue to push the tank forward. The tank troops stopped outside the opponent's firepower range.
"General, let's rush in!" The voice of the head of the tank in front of the radio was heard: "We must be able to break through the line of defense."
"No, the opponent is already prepared, we have to wait for our infantry to arrive." Major General Areesca is very cautious.
Their tank troops rushed all the way and threw their infantry tens of kilometers behind.
The German army is now fully motorized. Even the infantry division is equipped with a large number of cars. They don't need to drive on the Soviet land with two legs. They can be transferred by cars.
The Italian army is different.
Italy's industrial level is still not as good as Germany's, but the Italian auto industry is pretty good. In the 1930s, Italian Fiat cars were almost always exported, even the French Army praised Fiat trucks.
Regardless of ordinary infantry divisions, at least the current armored group is equipped with enough cars, all of which are the latest Fiat 262, with enough traction to pull tanks.
However, their fuel supply failed to keep up. After all the fuel was concentrated on the tanks, the infantry could only continue to follow up after waiting for fuel, which was a short distance away.
Major General Aresca is quite shrewd. When he was studying in Berlin, he understood this truth. In the wilderness, the charge of the tank cluster is the most effective. However, if it is to attack the city and leave the tank protected by the infantry, it is Very fragile.
And now, even if his tank can break into the city, he can't stop the opponent's breakthrough because he lacks enough infantry.
In this way, the Italian army did not continue to advance, staying outside the city, and the two sides confronted temporarily.
At this time, the commanders of both sides finally figured out each other's details.
"It's the Italian army that is coming?" Lukin temporarily set up his own headquarters next to the railway station in the city: "Isn't the combat effectiveness of the Italian army always weak? How did it become so strong this time?"
The first confrontation between the two sides ended in a hurried manner. After learning that the tank unit of his side had not fired a shot, he was forced back, and Lu Jin knew that he had encountered a difficult opponent.
"Yes, since the Germans took control of Italy, the combat effectiveness of the Italian army has increased." His adjutant said: "Fortunately, we found a lot of 45mm guns in the arsenal here to deal with these Italian tanks. ,should be no problem."
In World War II, Germany's anti-tank guns became famous, such as PAK38 and PAK40. In contrast, the Soviet Union was not very famous.
The Soviet Union actually has anti-tank guns. The 45mm guns have almost run through the whole World War II. This gun looks very small, almost like a toy, and its penetration is deep, it just came to deal with thin-skinned stuffing. Panther 2 only.
The 45mm gun is a generalist. It is not only used in infantry positions, but also shines in street fighting. It can remove firepower points, and even fire on the roof to penetrate the top armor of the tank.
With these guns, their confidence in defense is greatly increased, especially in the face of the Italian army.
"Continue to dig fortifications and push the newly formed troops to the front line." Lu Jin thought for a while, and continued: "Set up a supervising team in the back. Whoever dares to retreat will fire!"
Lu Jin is not at ease with the defeated troops. If the defeated troops lose their minds during the battle, it will cause great problems for his defense. Now it is a special period, so special methods must be used.
Anyway, what Lukin did here was enough to shoot him several times. Now he is not afraid of anything. In order to protect Shepetovka, he dares to do anything.
Now, the opponent did not attack immediately, which is also good news for Lu Jin. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he can reorganize the troops in a decent way.
At the same time, the Italian army outside was not idle.
It was time to eat, and soon, the aroma of noodles floated from their positions.
When it got dark, Fiat cars came into motion, and the infantry finally arrived!
In the small woods outside the city, a temporary tent was set up. Major General Areesca held a stainless steel rice bowl with his left hand~www.novelhall.com~ With a fork in his right hand, he was eating noodles suckingly, several infantry commanders walking away Came in.
"General, we have finally arrived, when will we launch the attack?" Colonel Derisi asked.
"Don't worry, let our soldiers eat, rest, and come, and you will also have a piece of noodles each." Major General Areesca said, asking the adjutant to prepare tableware for them.
Even though he was a senior commander, he didn't engage in extravagance during the battle. He didn't even have red wine, only noodles.
Several people looked at each other and ate a pot of each. When they were finished, they wiped their mouths. Major General Areca finally spoke: "Before, we were always called the noodle army, saying that we have the worst combat effectiveness. Tonight, let them see. Let's With the powerful fighting power of the Italian army, we attacked at night and went directly to the city!"
"But, they have tanks and anti-tank guns around them." Colonel Derisi said, "They will definitely guard us."
Looking at the dazed expressions of his men, Major General Areesca with a smile on his face: "I didn't say that we would break through the current line of defense. We went around to the east of the city and entered the city from the east, do you think how is it?"
At present, the two sides are facing each other in the northwest of the city, and the defense line of the defenders is only deployed in the northwest and west areas. The defense line they have constructed in a hurry cannot be deployed in a comprehensive manner, only the most important one can be deployed.
And now, their eastern part is almost undefended. They circled a circle, rushed in from the east, and caught them off guard!
Smiles appeared on the faces of the commanders present. After returning from the German training, Major General Areca's command level has greatly improved. ()
