Chapter 513

"We must seize the most advantageous position before the generals of the Soviet Union gather up these troops." Looking at the map in front of him, goodrian said to the staff, "which army is there here, and can we continue to attack?"

On the huge map, the German army, after sorting out and summing up later, renamed all the towns with code names, which was also convenient for the radio communication confidentiality of the grass-roots troops. And the town that Ryan is paying attention to is also being watched by goodrian at this moment. The code name of this town is y107.

At ordinary times, he would not ask this question, but now his troops are too scattered. Many front-line troops really have no offensive forces. Most of the raids take place at the battalion or company level, which is unimaginable for a group army.

So he opened his mouth to confirm the actual situation of his troops there. He must ensure that these troops have the ability to protect themselves before he can order them to attack, right? Isn't it a joke to order an attack casually, in case there is only one company there?

"Report, there is a tank company of 502 heavy tank destroyer battalion and a special unit of Grenadier battalion." A staff officer pointed to the map and replied to goodrian, "but they are scattered in an area several kilometers long, and it seems unlikely that they will deploy troops to attack."

"The third SS division?" Goodrian nodded and continued to look at the map. The town in his eyes is really attractive. If the German army can control it, all the next battles will be very simple.

He turned around, went to the desk of the headquarters, grabbed the phone, and then said, "please connect me with the headquarters of the 1st Armored army. Yes, I'm goodrian... Send a troop to capture the town code y107 for me. Is there any difficulty?"

If the boss asks you what difficulties you have, this time is not to let you cry about your difficulties, but to let you hold back your tears and say that there are no difficulties. The first armored force was Guderian's old army. Naturally, it was impossible to embarrass its old commander, so the task of capturing y107 town was immediately agreed.

It's so simple to go to the headquarters of the 1st Armored army. Now it's a mess. The positions of various troops are being confirmed repeatedly. The counterattacks of the Soviet Red Army in some areas are also being summarized and dealt with. Of course, there are supply and air support contacts, and the list of dead soldiers and soldiers has the final statistics.

As for the problem of occupying a small town, it is obviously the safest thing for a division to deal with it. So the military headquarters directly called the division headquarters of the 3rd SS armored division.

As a general who is not very good at fighting, general Frick, commander of the 3rd SS Panzer Division, is well known as the 1st Panzer Army. He is famous for being a genius at most. His troops are almost the most complete in the whole G group.

His men ate the best food in the whole army, used the most abundant ammunition, and even had more tents than other troops. Of course, in return, the 3rd SS Armored Division was almost the best army in G group, giving birth to a large number of trumps, such as Ryan Marcus.

This army has occupied all kinds of towns, so when Frick received a call from the commander, ordering him to occupy y107 Town, he agreed to the commander's request without hesitation, and then made a promise to the commander: "don't worry, general, I promise that there will be no problem in the occupation of the third Armored Division!"

When he hung up the phone and looked at the position of his troops on the map, he knew what the order of attack meant to the whole 3rd Armored Division. He looked at his staff, hoping that the young major who had just been transferred could become a little Maoqi in the next second.

"Draw some troops to reinforce it." It took the young staff officer a long time to say that. If he had the talent of heaven and earth, he would have gone to the Fuehrer's residence to recommend himself, OK? Isn't the later Augustus the second most important person in Germany?

Frick sighed helplessly. If he had extra troops, he would have to ask the combat staff? It's enough to directly support the front-line forces. Such a method is known to all fools, not to mention a general: "there are few support forces that can be used now."

"Give the head of the third regiment a call and let him do something about it." After thinking about it, the staff finally came up with a more feasible method. After all, attacking towns is not a field operation, so the 1st and 2nd Armored regiments do not need to transfer troops, so the only remaining is the 3rd Armored projectile throwing regiment. Who do you want to go to?

Frick nodded, picked up the phone and asked to get through to the third Regiment: "is it difficult to take the town y107?"

"Are you kidding, sir? What's the situation like now? I'm not pessimistic, sir... The Red Army of the Soviet Union didn't fight back. Once they started to fight back, our defense line would collapse. " In the division, we are all front-line combat forces, so there is no need to play bureaucrat. All of them are people who tie their heads on their waistbands. Of course, there are some difficulties. To be honest, they said, "let me transfer my troops, there really is no more!"

"Not at all? One company will do it! " Frick is crazy. His division winds many kilometers back and forth, and tens of thousands of soldiers can't send out 100 people. "..." Silent for a while, 3 regimental commander spoke finally: "a company I can try, but should not be full."“ It doesn't matter if it's not full! It's good to have fighting power! " Frick nodded quickly. He was afraid that if he hesitated a little, there would be no more people in front of him. Put down the phone, 3 commander called 1 battalion commander, gave him an account of the combat mission support. The poor battalion commander came to the commander of the third company with a sad face and asked him to go down to the German front-line SWAT unit. The company commander collected all the ammunition he could find and set off with his 73 men. So the supreme decision of the general command of G group army, the order to occupy the town of y107, was pushed all the way. After passing the commander, division commander, battalion commander, it was handed over to a small company commander to carry out it. This story tells us that even if you are the boss of a head office, the person who went to carry out your decision is probably not even a group leader, So don't be too superstitious about your orders. At this time, Ryan was discussing with the Grenadier company commander, who was in charge of covering himself, the plan to attack the town of y107. They didn't know that the superior had given the order to attack, so it can be seen to what extent the grass-roots German commanders had a strong grasp and experience of the battlefield situation. Most of the time, the German army did not need to wait for high-level combat orders, but spontaneously organized local tactics, which on the other hand reduced the reaction time of the German army and greatly reduced the casualties of the army“ Not counting the soldiers escorting the prisoners, I can draw up 60 people at most to support your attack, including your three tanks. To be honest, our troops are seriously insufficient. " The company commander looked at the map in Ryan's hand, frowned and said, "my people can organize fire support on the periphery, but if the Soviets deploy troops to fight room by room, we will be driven out of the town." Ryan nodded, and the thing was similar to what he imagined: "our attack was based on the premise that the Soviets did not deploy large-scale forces in the small town. If they have completed the defensive deployment, we will withdraw immediately." Soon, as the sun tilted in the afternoon, Marcus' 112 and 115 tanks rushed back to the battlefield, followed by 50 dusty German soldiers. After entering the village, the soldiers began to cook together. It can be seen that they were exhausted after a battle. Marcus agreed with the idea of attacking y107 town. He was a typical militant, and he was afraid that nothing would happen. The commander of tank 115 also agreed with Ryan's idea. After all, along the way, Ryan left a deep impression on the God of war. After a while, the German army came to reinforce their infantry and arrived here, and the order of attack was confirmed. Ryan and the two company commanders confirmed the tactics and decided to make a surprise attack at night“ I still didn't expect that since we were ordered to attack, why only 70 soldiers were sent to reinforce us? " Obviously, Ryan is very dissatisfied with the above decision. It's one thing for him to take the initiative to attack, and another thing for him to be ordered to attack. Since you let us attack, do you have to give us troops? And 70 people were sent? What's enough for“ We don't want to come, but that's what the order is The new company commander also felt that he was innocent: "if the Soviets really set up defensive positions, what's the difference between us and dying?" Ryan sighed helplessly: "let's play smart. Let's act at night. If there's any problem, we'll come back immediately." Two infantry company commanders nodded quickly. Three tanks and several armored vehicles were parked outside as fire cover. They used machine guns and cannons to drive the Soviet Red Army out of the garrison house. Then the grenadiers suddenly attacked and caught the Soviet people by surprise. So we had a good rest for a few hours. In the evening, the rest troops set out to move towards their target town. Before they set out, they got a piece of good news, that is, the air force deliberately joined the town of y107 in the last batch of bombing targets of the day, which is now almost in ruins.
