"Commander, there are enemies everywhere in front of us. There are at least two thousand of them!”
The scout jumped out of the armored vehicle, panting, and came to the side of the commander of the 18th Armored Corps, Gordian.
Gordian glanced at him. The soldier was still in shock.
This was normal. After all, what appeared in front of them was a few thousand tanks of the Soviets!
Even Gordian had never seen such a large-scale tank application, let alone him!
It was rare to see such a scene once in a lifetime!
"Okay, I got it. Go down and have a good rest!”
Although Gordian usually looked wild and unruly, he was still very compassionate and protective of his soldiers.
He gently patted the shoulder of the exhausted and nervous Scout, then turned to his staff officer and said,
"Give the order to the 72nd Armored Division to move closer to us!”
"Yes, General!"
The staff officer immediately went to the radio station to give the order.
"Send someone to the back and inform the 74th motorcycle division to move to the left flank and guard the high ground of the hill. Also, bring up everything I asked them to prepare!”
Gordian did not have many cards in his hands. Although he had two fully equipped armored divisions and 800 tanks, the enemy had thousands of tanks. The difference in strength between the two sides was too great, so this battle was not easy to fight!
Especially since the battlefield was not very advantageous to them. This place was really too wide!
It was so wide that one could even ride a horse!
Although the open area was very suitable for tanks to fight, that was only a battle of equals. The situation now was that the enemy was outnumbered, so it was not a situation of equals. If they were not careful, it could become a siege!
So Gordian had to be very careful!
Although he was careful, he was not overly conservative.
Guderian did not passively defend against the Soviets 'tanks. After all, if they wanted to defend, wouldn't it be better to defend at the mouth of the river?
Was there a need to come here?
Therefore, the first order he gave to the troops was to attack!
"Take down the hill in front of us and stop the enemy at the foot of the hill!”
Fighting for the high ground was not only the dogma of the infantry, but also applied to the armored forces!
After receiving the order, the tanks on the front line of the German army started to move and rushed towards the Soviets at full speed.
Judging from the distance, the Soviets seemed to be closer to the hill!
According to the normal speed, the German army would definitely not be able to outrun the Soviet army. Although the T34 tank was not very resistant, this tank had a very outstanding advantage, and that was the outstanding mobility of this tank!
Its top speed was even faster than the Tiger King tank. Its top speed on flat ground was as high as 75 kilometers per hour!
It could cruise at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, and its endurance could reach about 450 kilometers!
This kind of outstanding mobility was much better than the German Tiger Tank!
Even against the Tiger King tank, he was not at a disadvantage!
Therefore, in terms of speed, the German army was at a disadvantage!
After the initial shock, the Soviets quickly reacted.
Especially when they saw the German tanks rushing out of the town like a swarm of bees, they already knew what was going on!
After all, the Soviets weren't idiots. They knew the importance of fighting for the high ground.
Therefore, when the German army rushed out, the Soviets made the same choice as them, which was to fight for the hill in front of them at full speed, because whoever occupied this place would be able to occupy the only high ground within a few dozen kilometers!
With their high points, they could take the initiative whether it was to observe the enemy's movements or attack the enemy!
Therefore, the frontline troops of the Soviets immediately increased their speed to the extreme. They vowed to occupy this place before the German army!
"Open fire! Don't be stingy with your artillery shells!”
Seeing that the Soviets were about to occupy the hill, the German army couldn't hold it in anymore.
The tanks on the front line began to turn their turrets and aim at the enemy tanks.
Although the distance between the two sides was about 2,000 meters, at this distance, especially for the moving tanks, the accuracy of their shots was simply touching!
If one out of ten cannonballs could hit the target, it would be considered a jackpot!
However, in order to interfere with the enemy and put pressure on the enemy, the German army had no choice but to fire. Even if the accuracy of the fire was touching, they had to do so!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The German tanks that were already in their prime raised their muzzles and fired as they ran. In the midst of their high-speed movements, they fired the first round of bullets.
The German army's choice was very wise. At this distance, if the tanks were allowed to freely aim one on one, the hit rate would probably be very low!
If the tanks concentrated their artillery fire and formed a dense barrage, even if many shells were wasted, they could effectively block the enemy's path of advancement and would definitely hit the enemy tanks!
Barrage shooting wasn't something that the army had invented. It was a tactic that naval warships would use in battle.
This tactic required the navy's cannons to aim at the same target at the same time. In this way, the shells fired by the cannons would form a layer of barrage, like a large net, covering the target.
As long as the density of the net was high enough, their shells could hit the enemy ships!
In this way, he could effectively reduce the number of waves.
After all, the distance between the two sides was even greater when they fought on the sea. Both sides would often fire from a distance of more than ten kilometers to twenty to thirty kilometers. The accuracy rate was very touching!
If he did not use this method, it was almost impossible to hit the enemy!
As for the army, their barrage was undoubtedly much denser than the navy's at a distance of about two thousand meters!
Therefore, their battle results were naturally more bountiful!
