Just as Marcus fought hard with his tank troops and the Soviet soldiers guarding the position, a stuka-2 bomber followed down the cloud thousands of meters above the sky. The German army has never had the habit of one-on-one fair competition with its opponents. The main effort of the whole industrial sector in the past 20 years is to fight an unfair war of modernization with its opponents.
So when the Soviet tanks were killed by the more advanced German tanks, they found that the battle they had experienced before was just the beginning of a nightmare. The German bombers joined in the unfair duel and took part in the duel in the way of falling into the well.
They dropped bombs hanging under their wings against the Soviet positions. The explosion enveloped the Soviet positions, and the Soviet tanks that had just fought back were blown into rolling parts. Fire and smoke became the main theme here. Even Marcus had to stop his attack and let the place hundreds of meters away be bombed by the air force.
After such a long war, the cooperation between the German Air Force's ground attack fleet and its own ground forces has reached a perfect level. They dare to drop bombs 100 meters in front of the infantry attack, and the blast wave can even lift the hats of the German soldiers nearby. This skillful cooperation greatly improves the efficiency of the German troops to break through the position, and also reduces the casualties and losses of the German offensive troops.
After the German bombers lost all their bombs, Marcus ordered his troops to continue the attack just now. Looking at the tank wrecks which were destroyed and exploded one by one, and were still burning and smoking, the German soldiers had to clean the battlefield and catch the rest of the unfortunate prisoners.
Soon after, the 502 battalion of Marcus passed through the tightly guarded position of the Soviet Garrison and stormed northwest along the Moscow river. It was not until the investigation team in front sent back the news that the Moscow River had turned in front that they changed their attack direction and launched a tentative attack towards the West.
More than two hours later, Marcus' armored battalion stopped at the subgrade of a wide highway. They built a hidden fortification nearby by relying on the subgrade, and then occupied several nearby buildings. Next came some armored reconnaissance vehicles, as well as signalmen on motorcycles.
Everyone stopped and began to check the map in their hands, and then everyone didn't know where they were. According to the unclear photos provided by the aviation department, they should be in the northwest of mamonovo, very close to Moscow. But the sketch of the nearby area in their hands shows that they should still be in the mamonovo area at this moment.
The information that the scouts brought back was even more vague. When several soldiers who were ordered to investigate came back, they said something about the enemy: "the Soviet army is setting up a new defense zone not far from the other side of the roadbed. They are shuttling back and forth between buildings, with anti tank guns and tank reinforcement. Obviously, the other side does not intend to give up the surrounding area easily, I even saw engineers laying mines. "
"To disperse the investigation forces, I need the exact situation of my location, including the place name and the location on the map coordinates... The follow-up artillery support needs us to provide accurate coordinates. If the chaos continues, we will be bombarded by our own people." Marcus looked at several maps drawn by the intelligence department, the air force and the infantry reconnaissance forces in his hand. After thinking about it, he gave the order to investigate the nearby area.
Because we had to wait for the result of the investigation, the 502 battalion stopped attacking here for about an hour. During this period, his troops were attacked by Soviet artillery. Fortunately, only two infantry from the Grenadier regiment were injured. Marcus was still waiting patiently for the scouts to bring back the results, but it was around 4 p.m.
The soldiers who came back finally found out the exact location of their place. The road in front of them was the southeast section of Moscow Ring Road, and the unknown River on the west side of their place was the graudya river. All the bridges on this river can't pass through big guys like tiger king tanks, so no matter how anxious Marcus is, he can only wait for the engineers behind to catch up.
In a rickety armored car, goodrian put down the communication from the commander of the first armored army. He looked at the small observation window and saw the various scenes of dilapidation outside.
The German troops left too many ruins along the way. The modern war brought people not only rapid advance, but also more powerful destructive force. The thick city wall that could not be broken in the past few years, in front of today's aircraft and artillery, will be destroyed in just a moment to become the ruins and debris that can not be seen.
"The 1st Armored Force has begun to attack the ring road line. Marshal modle's forces are trying to stabilize the line behind us. Moscow has been completely surrounded. If Stalin is still there, he will not be able to fly. " The chief of staff smiles and fills the last hole in the map, and then says to godrian, who is in a trance.
Goodrian leaned back in his seat and finally said, "as long as I win this battle, then I am worthy of the kindness of the head of state. Zhukov, an old opponent, doesn't know if he will trouble us here. We should be more careful. "
"It's said that sherner will be transferred to the East, and marshal Manstein will be transferred to the Middle East?" The chief of staff looked at the beloved General of the head of state who would be promoted to marshal sooner or later, and finally asked what he thought. Recently, troops in the Middle East are moving frequently. It seems that sherner, who has a thorough study of infantry, will be transferred to places where he is more needed. Since he led the k-group army, he has been following Rommel and has been the general of the North African Army. This time, he finally has a stage to play his own role. His k-group army will enter the Caucasus from Turkey. After a circle, he will exchange his defense position with the M-group army. In this way, marshal Manstein, commander of the M group army, who has a more overall view and is easier to understand the head of state's intention, will become commander-in-chief of the Middle East war zone, replacing Rommel, who returned home from illness, to command the Middle East war zone. Sherner will be stationed in the Caucasus and use his more familiar Mountain Warfare to suppress the Soviet guerrillas in the Caucasus mountains“ Well, it seems that this order has been discussed in the wolf's den. Since Rommel left, the Middle East really needs a general who has a more overall view and understands the head of state's intention. " Goodrian nodded and then laughed sheepishly: "if I don't lose the battle of Kursk, now I am the marshal, maybe I should go to this position." His fighting style is very similar to Rommel's, so he is definitely the best candidate to succeed Rommel as the commander in chief of the Middle East. Unfortunately, after all, he was promoted to marshal later than Rommel. Whether he can defeat the rebellious l army is really a question“ Say it! Didn't Comrade vatukin say that our troops have already expelled the German army from Moscow? Why can I still hear the distant gunfire? Didn't I order vasilevsky to fight back against the German army? Where are his troops now? Where is it? " Stalin put his hand on the map on the wall and asked the generals who didn't know how to speak. Ten days ago, they cheated Stalin and used various excuses to prevaricate the Soviet leader's questions. They claimed that their troops were fighting back and that the German army had not broken through their lines. But in fact, the German army has completely occupied the Bicha Park, and even some troops have occupied the Vorontsov Park further north. Now Stalin finally came to his senses. He finally realized that there was a lot of moisture in the news he had heard these days. The sound of the German bombardment, which could not be dispersed, clearly told him the truth: the German army was still around Moscow, and the victorious counterattack he believed did not drive away the approaching German troops“ Comrade Stalin, our counterattack has indeed won, but in the process of encircling the German army, we met the German army's tenacious resistance, so for a time, we were unable to complete the victory of encircling and annihilating the German army... That... That... "We can't make it up. The general looked helplessly at another colleague. That person obviously didn't expect that he was also pulled into this kind of unfortunate thing. He winked hard, hoping that the other party would not continue to look at him. However, Stalin obviously saw the two men's furtiveness, so he slapped the table and burst out more violently: "tell me the truth! What on earth are you hiding from me! Come on! Make it clear to me“ Comrade leader, our troops suffered losses in the course of counterattack. " The general had to harden his head and tell some truth: "the fighting near Bicha park is not very smooth. We have a lot of losses. I hope you can carefully consider the order of counterattack and let the troops withdraw for a rest..." Stalin thought he heard the truth. These false excuses still made him furious. He yelled: "the order can't be withdrawn! They must rely on their faith and patriotic enthusiasm to maintain high morale! Attack, destroy the enemy around Moscow, we have more reserves! In the Far East! In Siberia! As long as we win, those troops will come, support us and win! "—— I'll make up a chapter later. It's three o'clock today.
