At a distance of about 1,000 meters, the No. 4 tank could hardly destroy the front of the Type 29 tank. So under the command of House, the entire army began to divide into three teams, with light vehicles on both sides to outflank them. However, due to the miserable off-road capabilities and road conditions,

Except for a small number of half-track vehicles and 8*8 vehicles

Apart from being able to move, the rest seemed to be immobilized by the mud. The No. 4 tank destroyer with thick frontal firepower and fierce firepower was used as long-range suppressive firepower to attack those Type 29 tanks that had been exposed, and slowly pressed forward. Mortars

Artillery and other support units released smoke grenades to cover the tank impact.

Sporadic smoke and rain seriously affected the tank's attack. Unlucky, the gunner could only use the moment the opponent fired to determine the target location. Fortunately, the opponent's movement speed was not fast, and Huaxia's mortars and light howitzers also

Start suppressing the opponent

The supporting firepower of the rear row. The two sides are in a stalemate. The Germans like this kind of fighting situation, because the opponent's tanks are restricted by their positions, and judging from the capture situation just now, the number is less than their own. House only uses slow tanks.

Slowly applying pressure can kill your opponent.

One after another, the German tanks pushed away various vehicles blocking the way, forming an arc and approaching the opponent under the cover of the No. 4 tank destroyer at the rear. The tanks directly alternated covering each other and gradually approached the opponent. Artillery shells were fired at the Chinese tanks from all directions.

Yes, tanks have been hit from time to time. But for the time being, we can still rely on good frontal protection and terrain cover.

A 75m high-speed armor-piercing projectile flying from 500 meters away hit the connection between the turret and the body of a Type 29 tank. The shell easily tore through the armor here, and then killed the members inside with countless fragments.

Most of them were killed and wounded. A thick fog gushes out from the breach. After more than ten minutes of fighting, the German tank finally made its first victory and successfully destroyed a Type 29 tank.

As the distance gets closer, the attack efficiency of the German tanks rises sharply! Especially the No. 4 tank destroyer at the rear, the slender 75mm gun can penetrate the frontal defense of the Type 29 tank like a sharp spear from 800 meters away, while the Chinese

The 75mml48 tank gun has nothing to do when facing the opponent's front 80mm armor tilted at 50 degrees at the same distance!

500 meters is the distance at which the Type 29 tank and the No. 4 tank can destroy each other. The remaining German tanks rushed towards the target like cavalry entering the final sprint stage. In order to keep the distance, the Chinese tanks began to release smoke and slowly retreated. However, it was only a few hundred meters away.

meters away from each other

It seemed a little too late to pull away when the muzzle of the gun reached their foreheads. The Germans seemed to see the goddess of victory waving to them. The abundant horsepower provided by the Maybach engine allowed these tanks to move quickly on the muddy road. In the final free attack stage,

The formation is also a bit messy!

With a hiss, a sound like a rattlesnake, a rocket with a long tail of smoke flew out of a bunker and hit the front of a No. 4 tank! The rocket successfully penetrated the driver

The front armor also killed the driver and the commander behind him. The tank that was still murderous just now quickly turned aside and collided with a tank that had just been destroyed. Soon, rockets were fired from time to time.

Flying out of the hidden individual bunkers and shooting at the rushing tanks, the two sides met 1 kilometer away. The German infantry, which lacked off-road vehicles, had to get out of the vehicle and move forward on two legs, fighting the opponent's mortars on the muddy ground.

The tanks moved with difficulty under the attack. The tanks had already abandoned the slow-moving infantry and rushed forward. What the Germans did not expect was that their opponents in their rear could actually deploy their ambush in such detail!

In addition to rockets, various anti-tank mines planted also made the Germans' final assault unsuccessful. Those who were lucky could continue to use it as a fixed turret if the tracks were blown off. Those who were unlucky were directly blown away.

The bottom armor was removed, and then the entire crew flew on a domestic aircraft. Just as the head-on confrontation reached a deadlock,

At that time, the battle between the light tanks on both wings also determined the winner. The Chinese armored vehicles with good cross-country performance relied on their good maneuverability and powerful 30mm machine guns to beat the opponent into burning iron boxes. In a hurry, the German armored forces

The response was quite appropriate. However, the direct coordination between the units fell apart.

The house was leaking and it rained all night. Just when House's armored troops were unable to advance or retreat, the Chinese wheeled assault guns that came around from behind finally came up to fight! The front line was reduced to a pot of porridge, and the Germans focused their attention on the southwest

In the direction, several battlefield vehicles equipped with 30mm machine guns and 75mm howitzers stuck out from the other side of the roadbed. The smaller turrets combined with the good pitch angle made perfect use of the cover of the roadbed. The German rear row

The baggage troops, mortars and light howitzers did not expect that the opponent would actually send a troop to sneak into their rear. The guard posts deployed in the rear were harvested by strings of 30mm howitzers within minutes. And then in the round

Under the cover of the tank, the infantry began to dismount and prepare for battle. When the wheeled assault gun equipped with a 75mm cannon climbed onto the roadbed and aimed the artillery at the back of the Germans, a small number of German troops reacted!

The roar of artillery and the roar of large-caliber machine guns instantly broke the calm of the German rear, and even directly affected the situation on the battlefield. Although the German tank troops were in a dilemma, they could at least maintain their position by relying on the powerful No. 4 tank destroyer and the support of rear firepower.

To balance the power, we can continue the attack after the infantry comes up. But now, these out

Now the wheeled combat vehicles at the rear have completely destroyed this plan. Although these wheeled assault vehicles cannot play a big role on the frontal battlefield, maybe a grenade can make them lose the ability to walk, but when they use speed and maneuverability

When the advantage penetrated the Germans' weakly defended rear from the rear, it became the straw that broke the camel's back!

The two troops were like pliers, tightly clamping the prey that was far stronger than them, and pinching each other to death step by step. Behind the German army, they had no weapons that could threaten these light cavalry, and machine guns and grenades easily harvested them.

The lives of the German troops were destroyed, and expensive artillery and various trucks were blown to pieces. Various wheeled and half-track vehicles tore the German positions into pieces like sharp blades. The infantry who arrived later used assault rifles in their hands.

Please continue with the machine gun

Teach these divided and surrounded German troops. The roar of guns and artillery even alerted the German troops who were fighting in the front in the dark. The huge smoke pillars rising from time to time in the rear announced the current situation of this German army! "Kill those tank destroyers and we will win!"

The Chinese light cavalry did not focus on dealing with the fleeing skirmishers, but focused on the tank destroyers that were turning around in the mud. This was the last heavy weapon in the German rear. Destroy them.

You'll definitely win!

At close range, a mobile and flexible wheeled tank is naturally much easier to use than a tank destroyer without a turret! A wheeled tank equipped with a 6-pound gun quickly attacked a No. 4 tank destroyer.

The No. 4 tank destroyer passed in front of the car. The left and right shooting angle was only 30 degrees. It could not keep up with the opponent's angular speed. In a hurry

After firing one shot, the target was completely lost. The opponent leisurely moved to the flank of the tank and fired three armor-piercing shells from less than 400 meters away! The first shell successfully penetrated the opponent's tank.

The armor of the fighting room, the second shot penetrated the rear engine, and the third shot directly ignited the fuel tank!

"Retreat to the south and join up with friendly forces! Each unit takes turns to cover and withdraw from the battlefield!" Faced with the rapidly eroding battle situation, House finally chose to join up with the southern German army that had just been blacklisted. He left very unwillingly because the opponent's number would not be

A lot, not many even including the wheeled chariots that shot out from behind, but just like that, they were still defeated. Things happened so suddenly that House never even made a relevant plan! But in the end he still did

out correctly

The choice is whether to stay on the battlefield or evacuate to the north. The troops that have been maimed and frightened will be overtaken by the opponent and then annihilated. Only by going south and contacting the friendly forces that are still in chaos can they protect themselves. Although the troops in the south can

The troops were in great disarray, but the troops and equipment were there, plus the remaining tanks. The other side didn't dare to rush forward at all! And just when House was about to go south, a part of the German army in the south also separated to go north to support him.

"Gather the troops and leave, let's break away to the northeast!" When he realized that there was little point in continuing to fight, Tao Zhenyu decisively ordered a retreat. The two sides quickly broke away from contact. This was how the first battle behind enemy lines of the Uppercut Battle Group ended.

.After losing 10 tanks and approximately 15 other vehicles

, Tao Zhenyu successfully disabled a strengthened German armored battalion. The exchange ratio between the two sides was at least about 4 to 1! Such a record cannot be said to be small. But what to do next is a problem. There are not many places for activities behind enemy lines.

The German army, which had suffered heavy losses, would certainly not give up the search for them.

According to Tao Zhenyu's plan, they will first move northeast as far as possible away from the core area of ​​​​the German army. Then at night, they will turn back and fight back. As for what they can encounter at night, it all depends on the strength of the scout and their own luck.

. The tank with the shorter range will spend the rest of the day looking for a place to hide, while the reconnaissance vehicle will

The infantry fighting vehicle will conduct reconnaissance and wait for opportunities to take action to disrupt the opponent's judgment and concentration of troops. Although he has just won a great victory, Tao Zhenyu realized that his remaining tanks may not be able to touch the opponent again, and after losing the tank,

Pure wheeled combat vehicles and tracked armored vehicles will lose their ability to attack fortresses, and the significance of assaults behind enemy lines will be greatly reduced.

Just when Tao Zhenyu stopped and was about to wait for the opportunity, the German army, who had been stabbed in the back, mobilized its troops like a bomb, vowing to kill this battle group behind them and make the German Imperial Army lose face.

Come out! "First determine the location of each unit, all moving supply convoys and small units.

The team immediately moved closer to the nearby military station. They immediately started using new contact methods, and the reconnaissance troops immediately launched an attack to search the entire rear area, allowing the air force to..." At this point, Kruger looked at the heavy rain outside. "Okay.

Well, let the Air Force keep an eye on their airports and aircraft. Also tell the frontline troops to be careful."

Kruger's order was quickly issued and implemented quickly. The German troops who had just been knocked began to strengthen their military stations and defenses along the way. All troops were mobilized, and even the cooking squad picked up rifles and rifles.

sapper shovel instead of them

Iron spoons are often used! All the strongholds began to strengthen their defenses in the heavy rain. They set up minefields and hidden sentries outside the strongholds, began to strengthen bunkers, and even dug new trenches in the rain. Well, just keep digging.

It became digging ditches.

Assaults behind enemy lines are never as glamorous as people imagine. In fact, in addition to the first wave of strikes that can lead to an unexpected victory, the Chinese troops need to beware of the other party's sneak attacks in the rest of the time! The local environment is unfamiliar to the people, and the supply and perception of troops

They are all weak. In this case, the only thing that can be relied on is the quality of the commander and officers and soldiers. Tao Zhenyu needs time to

The next battle plan is to re-alienate, but the German strangulation has been carried out step by step. The traces left on the ground after the movement of a large number of vehicles cannot be cleaned up by simple rainwater washing. Experienced investigators can still find the opponent.

Approximate destination. While Tao Zhenyu and Crewe were fighting wits and courage, a small army that had been abandoned had just arrived on the battlefield.

Meng Yan, wearing a poncho, got out of the tank, looked around with a telescope and sighed: "It's so quiet today!" Meng Yan, who fell behind because he fell into a pit, not only finally reached the tank, but also even

Three other tanks were pulled out, and the fuel from the remaining broken down vehicles was

Oil and supplies were also brought along! "This guy is like a guy who cuts gold from a Buddha's face and chops meat from a mosquito's legs! They loaded all the usable things into the car! They even packed us up!"

"A Chinese tank driver who was "drugged" once said angrily!

However, Meng Yan still missed the first battle. When it arrived on the battlefield, both sides had already given up and did not even have time to clean up the battlefield. Looking at the wreckage of the chariots scattered on the battlefield, Meng Yan realized that he seemed

Unable to find the main force, using mid-range radio behind enemy lines will undoubtedly expose oneself.

"But it's okay, I can finally move on my own! Just when he was about to drive the vehicle out of the shelter, several half-track vehicles suddenly appeared in the rain curtain and attracted their attention. Some people got on and off these vehicles, and then they

Heading northeast. "The other party's reconnaissance force? Interesting!" Meng Yan said to himself.

"Okay, let's follow the ruts. But don't go too fast. The Germans must have stepped up their reconnaissance of the rear. Let's go slower. We hope the rain can cover up the sound of the engine and the exhaust smoke." Meng Yan ordered.

As a result, a small force consisting of 4 tanks and 6 wheeled armored vehicles embarked on the journey.
