Chapter 1171

What is the war in Europe? Perhaps this question is very difficult to answer, but from some details, we can get a glimpse of the essence of the European steel war` At the end of the railway in the Far East, Soviet engineers were unloading one tank after another from the wagon under the command of German officials. The whole station was congested because of too many materials.

In fact, this small station was not in the Far East in the direction of Gongqingcheng, but in Mongolia. It was not far from Nomenkan, which was the edge of the Soviet and Japanese war. It's said that a Japanese reconnaissance plane was shot down here, but compared with other places in the world, it can be described as peaceful.

Compared with the rolling mountains and rivers on the Sino Soviet border, and the virgin forest of the Xing'an Mountains, the German troops preferred Mongolia, a vast grassland suitable for German armored forces to attack. Just like the ancient nomadic warriors, tanks also have a unique advantage here.

The only drawback is that there is no decent logistics support base here, which can't quickly establish the support for the huge consumption of German armored materials. However, it is obvious that the German army is trying to improve this shortcoming and make it more suitable for armored forces.

In the last two months, in order to give enough pressure to the Japanese army in the Far East, the German army is transporting an armored division and two armored Grenadier divisions to the far east front. These units are equipped with almost 5oo tanks and assault guns. According to the rough calculation of 5oo shells prepared by each tank, they are only preparing shells needed by these tanks, More than 20000 pieces will be transported.

If we take into account the light infantry, paratroopers and special forces that can be mobilized to the Far East at any time, the supplies needed by the German army are too heavy on the thin far east railway. This is also the main reason why the German army has only invested 10 tanks so far. It is not a simple project to make an Armored Regiment operate in the Far East` c?o?m

Of course, there are also some reasons to increase the amount of these logistics supplies. Because the Japanese army used chemical weapons and bacterial weapons in the far east front, akado personally ordered that all troops entering the Far East should carry gas masks and prepare enough special clothing for biochemical isolation.

You know, yuan started his career in the Sixth Army because of the prevention and control of poison gas, which made the front-line combat forces take advantage of it inexplicably, and actually strengthened their ability to prevent poison gas. As a result, these troops transferred to the Far East even had to borrow some gas masks from friendly forces to meet yuan's requirements.

In the chaotic station, the Soviet soldiers were carrying the logistics supplies of a German division in horror. These soldiers who were fighting in the Far East could not connect the mountain of things in front of them with the division level units. They thought that the Germans of one group army or at least two armies had arrived in the far east.

"Three o armored trailers, seven engineering cranes for Engineers... Two bridging tanks, five rocket minesweepers." Looking at the inventory in hand, the Soviet officer in charge of the station frowned like two caterpillars. It was rare for the Soviet Union to see such a large number of logistic vehicles in the battle sequence, which made him doubt the size of the German army.

If you let him know that if Marshal Catherine had not assured yuan three times that his air force could complete the air supremacy guarantee work in the Far East, and that it was unnecessary for the troops to carry too many air defense weapons, there should also be 16 88 mm caliber towed anti-aircraft guns, and 2O quadruple self-propelled anti-aircraft guns accompanying the war in this list... He might have completely collapsed.

Even so, he couldn't understand the German's dependence on weapons and equipment, and their obsession with these efficient killing machines` C? Om's entire transport brigade, 43 Odin helicopters arrived at the secret Field Airport in the Far East ahead of time with all kinds of urgently needed materials. These materials were not transported by railway, otherwise they would have arrived more

Of course, the whole tank division is not limited to the logistics units with low combat effectiveness. In fact, there are 11o tanks that have arrived in the Far East and have been trained locally for adaptability. In addition to 10 tanks participating in actual combat, the rest of the 1OO tank crew members are still practicing climbing, identifying road signs and learning simple Russian and Japanese.

Even so, when another batch of 8O leopard tanks arrived at the same time in the field next to the small station, it still brought enough visual shock to the local Soviet soldiers. These tanks are neatly parked in a square array, because of the German's persistence, all the gun barrels are adjusted to a unified angle, which is awe inspiring like a forest of steel.

"Marshal Zhukov is a genius commander to fight an enemy of this rank for a year." Looking at the German tank crew members who were leaning against the tanks, enjoying the fresh air in the Far East, and the moment of tranquility during the war, the Soviet officers in charge of the station spoke to themselves.

……

At the same time, in the core position of the Japanese army in the Far East, a commander of a Japanese tank put down his telescope. In view of the German counterattack in the direction of the Communist Youth City, the Japanese high-level and the German thought very much the same, there is only a small fight, which can really affect the war situation, but also depends on who is the winner of the battle in Mongolia.

Therefore, the German Far East forces made their first large-scale appearance in the nomencan area. They decided to teach a lesson to Japan, the former aggressor, where the Japanese army provoked the Soviet army, so that the commanders of the Japanese army could have a good look at what they should have done in order to win the war. History always likes to make a big joke on the details. In those days, the Japanese army was still in the stage of cooperation with the German army. Germany also sent out an observation group to visit the Japanese army's battle of Nomenkan. Things have changed. The officers who visited Japan in those years have been sent to the Far East as a few Japanese generals, and many of them are still commanding the German army's battle near Nomenkan. At that time, they witnessed the defeat of the Japanese army in Nomenkan. Today, they are going to give a good lesson to their former ally Japan in this familiar place. The name of the topic is very simple, which is: "how to use the superior armored force to break through the enemy's defense line in the vast terrain."“ General Ishihara really made a fuss when he deployed our Armored Regiment here... "The Japanese armored commander put down his telescope, turned to his men behind the 97 type chariot and said," we suffered a heavy loss in the Nomenkan area in those years. Later, he thought that we could not catch up with the Soviets in terms of armored forces in a short time, So a large number of anti tank mines were laid in the border area... "He pointed to the vast area not far away and said confidently:" even if the Soviet Union and the German used engineers to dig together, it would take me more than ten days to thoroughly clear the mine belt, not to mention the infantry interfering in the rear defensive position? "“ Chief Miyamoto! According to the news from the forward lookout post, a large number of tanks are being mobilized in the Nomenkan area, and the Soviets may have to launch a large-scale attack nearby... The Kawasaki united team leader has gone to the front line, and the artillery team is on guard! " A messenger came panting to convey the known information to the commander of the armored forces here. The officer named Miyamoto was stunned when he heard the news. He really didn't know whether to say that Kawasaki, the commander of the infantry, was making a fuss, or that the German and Soviet people on the opposite side were out of their heads. Even if the German tanks are stronger than the M4 Sherman tanks of the United States, can their tracks not be afraid of anti tank mines? Isn't the head broken when launching an offensive in such a tightly guarded area“ Go and tell Kawasaki leader that I'm ready to fight here! Let his infantry cover the flanks of our tanks as much as possible. After all, our armor is not suitable for direct combat with Soviet tanks. " Because they were afraid of the Soviet Union's superiority in armored forces, the Japanese troops dug a large number of tank bunkers when they laid the defense line near Nomenkan. They hid the part under their tank turrets in the bunkers to make up for the lack of armor thickness. Most of Miyamoto's tanks are hidden in such bunkers, ready to wait for the opponent's tanks to get close to a certain distance, and then fire to ambush the opponent. As he watched the herald run to the distance along the trench, Miyamoto looked up at the sun, which was close to noon. The sun was as dazzling as ever. He narrowed his eyes, drew back his eyes, and put up his telescope to observe the distant place opposite his position. In his mind, the commander of the Japanese armored forces was still thinking about the information he had just heard. He knew that the Germans and the Soviets were preparing for an attack, but even so, he still felt that the mines in front of him and the tanks in his hand could stop the attack of the other side“ General Ishihara... There's nothing we can do... As long as we can annihilate a German army here, maybe the war in the Far East will be over? " Miyamoto, looking at the billowing smoke and dust on the horizon with his telescope, whispered to himself: "order to all tanks! Armor piercing, prepare! Hold our position at all costs! Do everything possible to destroy the enemy's tanks—— Recommend good friend Canghai setting sun's work "the Dragon King of the strongest special forces", which was chased by the Jue Xiaohua. Tang Feng is really helpless
