When Alexeyev was preparing to adjust his deployment, when Brusinov was preparing to pull the Eighth Army out of the quagmire of Lviv, on the flank of the Russian Seventh Army, the first wave of three Bavarian soldiers had already been deployed, and in the air, there were three bomber brigades, two fighter brigades and one reconnaissance brigades, a total of nearly 30 aircraft of various types!&1t;/p>

However, unlike in the past, the Bavarian legion of the three divisions was split into a combat unit with a number of 14oo to 2oo people, and the 75mm gun, 1o5mm howitzer and 12omm mortar were all placed in these reinforced battalions or regiment-level combat units. The troops of the three divisions formed a total of 15 combat groups, while the remaining infantry and heavy weapons were concentrated. Before the Russian Seventh Army could shrink, the counterattack of the Allies began!&1t;/p>

"This is definitely the weirdest and most interesting battle I have ever participated in." At dawn, Lieutenant Michael was heading towards the direction of the sun rising with his assault group. According to the results of yesterday's reconnaissance, they should attack the flank of a Russian army at 7 o'clock, that is, half an hour later.&1t;/p>

The reinforced company he led was not a single infantry in the entire company, but he could not see a motor vehicle. All the 21o people were struggling to stare at the weight and slowly advancing, and teams of bicycles extended to the distance. This was really a bit new for the second lieutenant who was used to using his legs or riding on a car.&1t;/p>

At this time, he was in the queue and was his backpack in front of the bicycle. The rear frame was equipped with military maps, kettles, compass and other equipment. On the left side of the rear hanger were compressed food and first aid kits that they had for three days. The right side was ammunition, including 8o pistol bullets and 12o rifle bullets. At the same time, there were several grenades and some blasting devices. As for the semi-automatic rifle in his hand, it was fixed on the bicycle stand. By the way, there was also a small tool box for repairing the bicycle, which was fixed between the beams.&1t;/p>

As a strengthening company, the second lieutenant's troops were equipped with 6 to 8 mg light machine guns and 2 6ommm mortars, and these things made their users worry. Now a machine gun group consists of 6 to 8 people, one of whom carries the machine gun itself, and the other person carries a bracket, tool box and other accessories. The remaining 4 to 6 machine gun team members carry no less than 5ooo bullets. Yes, you are right, it is 5ooo. These bullets are made into detachable 25o chains, and each rifleman needs to carry 4 to 5 ammunition boxes in addition to his own rifle, clothing, food, water and first aid kit.&1t;/p>

The mortar team is probably the same. Each gun crew member who is specifically responsible for carrying shells will carry about 12 to 15 shells and injection packs on both sides of their bicycle racks. However, even so, these soldiers still said that this is easier than they normally do.&1t;/p>

Relying on this two-wheeled means of transportation, the second lieutenant and his company can guarantee an assault of more than 10 kilometers per hour. The daily progress is far from infantry. Of course, if you rely solely on your own troops, the second lieutenant Michael would never dare to attack a Russian army. As an old fry, he knew that this seemingly short and concise unit was not actually suitable for head-on combat.&1t;/p>

The bicycle unit is more of a means of reconnaissance and liaison. As for the universal unit that some people call it, it is really difficult to rely on a separate bicycle unit as avant-garde or defender of the army. Because the bicycle unit lacks sufficient systematic logistics and sufficient firepower. When it is put into the battlefield, it is still just a light infantry. Bicycles only temporarily limitedly improve the mobility of the troops and the transportation capacity of some equipment. If a unit relies on bicycles, then it is better to fight guerrilla......&1t;/p>

In fact, in the Viking Assault Group where the second lieutenant is located, as a combat unit that can make tactical breakthroughs alone, the entire unit has a large number of people and equipment. This commando has more than 16oo people. There are 4 infantry companies like the second lieutenant. At the same time, in order to increase the attack ability, it is also equipped with a truck gun company equipped with 6 75mm guns and a support company with 8 8o to 12ommm mortars. In addition, a engineer team and subsequent support teams are not counted for the organization. The entire team composition is basically complete!&1t;/p>

Of course, the transportation and ammunition supply of these heavy weapons must not be relied on bicycles. They are all equipped with special cars or small number of carriages for transportation. Take the Viking Assault Group for example. The entire army is equipped with 20 trucks and 10 large trucks. In this way, the army can advance at least 50 kilometers per day. This is already far from the ordinary army.&1t;/p>

In terms of combat effectiveness, the weapons in these troops are absolutely excellent. On average, infantry units have a machine gun every 20 to 25 people. The ratio of semi-automatic rifles and submachine guns is almost 1 to 1 to 1! Even if the huge number of machine guns is not considered, relying solely on the firepower of the infantry squad can definitely overwhelm the Russians. Of course, if you want to ask about the actual combat situation, you have to wait and see the performance of both sides in half an hour.&1t;/p>

"Prepare for battle! Wait until the artillery behind is in place and launch an attack!" After arriving at the assembly position, the company commander was responsible for parking hundreds of bicycles, and then starting to remove the weapons and ammunition fixed to the vehicle body. The completed personnel used this last time to rest and have breakfast. After 15 minutes, with the roar of motivation, several truck guns had arrived behind him. Then the commemoration officer conveyed the order that he and the general and another reinforced company attacked from both wings. At the same time, the artillery troops would provide fire support.&1t;/p>

This truck cannon, nicknamed Beetle, first dropped its hoe. At the same time, the windshield in front of the vehicle was also pulled down. On the circular cannon seat, the 75mm cannon has a better attack and firing range, and the ammunition truck at the rear of the car body was also opened, and there were a full 75mm full-loaded bullets. In the distance, while the Russians were having breakfast, the first wave of shells had already fallen.&1t;/p>

First, Lieutenant Michael stepped forward with his brothers, and then noticed that the other party did not resist the firepower and then began to slowly straighten up. Finally, when he rushed to 30 meters and had not seen the worthy firepower point, Lieutenant Michael suppressed his mood and did not let the troops go up directly.&1t;/p>
