Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 2 Chapter 9: situation

Xu Jun felt that he had begun to enter the role. Now I can use a soldier's way of thinking to think about the problem. The feeling of giving orders is really good, and the charm of power can't be stopped. Now all German soldiers look at themselves with a trusted eye. But what should I do to save the present crisis.

Xu Jun looked at the British position with a telescope, thinking hard.

"Major Mueller!" Xu Jun shouted, "Have you not counted the data yet?"

Mueller trot all the way and rushed over. "My report, Your Excellency, the statistics are good. We now have 897 infantry, 37 subordinate officers, 28 non-combatants, 142 artillery and assault engineers. There are 36 machine guns and 20 anti-tank guns. 150 artillery 4 mm self-propelled artillery, because the division was suddenly destroyed, they have not fired yet. The problem is that those cannons only carry grenades, and it seems that they can’t count on the tanks.

We also have 6 75mm light infantry guns, 7 37mm anti-tank guns, 1 20mm machine gun, and 12 50mm mortars. We have infantry ammunition for a fourteen horse carriage, and the artillery shells have two bases.

We also have two field kitchens, but there is only one day left to feed. Other supplies are still there, but now we don't know where they are.

I found two 221 wheeled armored vehicles. They stopped behind the hillside, so they were not destroyed, but the captains were killed on the hillside, leaving only two terrified drivers.

We also have 4 sk600 sidecar motorcycles and 2 Adler 2T off-road trucks. General, it seems that we can still fight. "

"It's just over one hundred and one hundred people, and the total is less than one regiment. Now we are not opponents of the opposing British army in terms of number or firepower. I saw at least two regiments in the air in front of each other. There are not less than one battalion of tanks, and they also have a battalion of artillery, which shows that we are facing a complete British brigade.

The other's "Matilda" tank is not resistant to the firepower we have now. The first type is only equipped with a 12.7 mm machine gun, and the speed is slow like crawling, so we can also use cluster grenades and zha medicine packs. To deal with it, just separate it from the infantry. However, the "Matilda" of the second type is completely a new type of infantry tank, which is completely different from the first type. Compared with it, a type is simply a light tank. Its 40 guns can penetrate the armor of most of our tanks, and we only have the 75 mm gun of tank iv to deal with it.

Fortunately, it seems that there are not many such tanks, but there should be only about ten, and two of them have been destroyed by mines. Now we have to figure out how to get rid of the few remaining "Matilda" Type 2 vehicles, otherwise our end will be miserable. Xu Jun said with a frown.

Mueller was taken aback. It turned out that the strength of the British army on the opposite side was so strong, which seemed troublesome. He asked: "General, what should we do?"

"What else can we do, we must stay here. Now any retreat will bring a massacre. If the position is lost, it will directly lead to the destruction of the 7th Armored Division. You now order the soldiers to save ammunition as much as possible. Do not open fire until the enemy infantry attack machine guns. We have to prepare to consume them, and only wait to contact other troops before thinking about what to do next." Xu Jun replied.

"Understood" Mueller nodded, ready to go down and arrange his defense. Xu Jun suddenly thought of something and shouted at Mueller.

"Major!"

"At, General"

"You immediately ordered the two-wing artillery to shift positions immediately. Tell them to act immediately, immediately!"

"Yes, understand, General."

"The British Army is known for being good at using artillery. Now that the two artillery positions have been exposed, they will definitely be attacked by British artillery during the next battle. They can't lose any power now. It's a headache." Xu Jun Thinking.

"General, we have contacted the remaining troops of the 78th Artillery Regiment." Randolph came up and reported.

"Great! Take it to me immediately." Xu Jun was excited for a while, and finally did not need to carry a water gun to fight.

An anxious voice came from the headset. "General Reinhardt, I am Lieutenant Colonel Srom, the head of the 78 Artillery Regiment. Your situation has been told to me by Major Hans. We have been unable to contact you before. , And ran in the wrong direction, and now I am trying to get closer to you. General."

"Then where are you now, where did you take the 78th Artillery Regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Srom." Xu Jun felt depressed and ran in the wrong direction? Why didn't they go to the British?

"I... We are now 10 kilometers southeast of you. Please rest assured, your general, we strive to arrive within 20 minutes. Ah, no, we must arrive within 20 minutes." Hearing Xu Jun's tone seemed to be bad The lieutenant colonel was a little scared.

"Then I am waiting for you here, now your cannon is the key to our survival, do you understand, Lieutenant Colonel Srom. 20 minutes, I will look at the watch, if you don’t want to be called Major Srom Come over to me as soon as possible." Xu Jun asked Randolph to cut off the conversation.

"Randolph! Continue to contact other troops. All troops near us, especially the 7th Battalion, must contact them."

"Understand, General."

"Why did you run behind us? Didn't the artillery flank us? Run really fast, 10 kilometers away. Mueller, didn't you say they were slow like infantry?" Xu Jun smiled at Mu with a wry smile. Major Le said.

Mueller also showed an expression of crying and laughing, "I can't figure out what is going on. They only have a few sdkfz7 semi-tracked tractors with 88mm anti-aircraft guns. The other 105mm heavy field guns use 8 tons. The truck dragged. I really don’t know how they can run faster than us. Let’s wait for the head of Srom to come and listen to his explanation."

Xu Jun began to think in his mind how the British would resist if they attacked before the 78 Artillery Regiment arrived.

"We must insist that the 78 Artillery Regiment arrives. I really hope that the British will not attack before that." Xu Jun told Mueller.

"Understand, General." Mueller replied. ;
