"God, I feel like we are facing at least one armored battalion." A Russian soldier said, looking at the blurry figure occasionally exposed in the smoke in the distance.&1t;/p>

"No, no, it may be an armored division! Do you know, it is a large organization that the Bavarians had on the Western Front. God, they actually mobilized an armored division to deal with us?" An officer who seemed to have some status said tremblingly at his opponent in the distance. The vibrations from time to time on the ground made some Russians coward before fighting.&1t;/p>

However, most people are still faithfully fulfilling their responsibilities. They push one 3-inch cannon into the nest of the digging, while some infantry tied the grenades into bundles so that they could fight at the last moment! The machine gunners silently set up the machine guns, and then the deputy shooter took out long leather ammunition chains from the ammunition box and connected them to the machine gun. After doing everything, the Russian soldiers were waiting for the arrival of the enemy with unique calmness or numbness.&1t;/p>

"Get ready! This time, we are facing only some fish and we treat it as a preparation for the future battle!" Major General Eric, who served as the commander-in-chief of this offensive, said easily against the officers and soldiers under his command.&1t;/p>

Strategies and tactics are constantly evolving, and stopping means regression. Look at the fact that the Russians have developed a fast-fighting force system suitable for Tsarist Russia. Naturally, Bavaria cannot always hold artillery and attack the tanks, and the infantry keep up. In order to complete the encirclement and annihilation of the seven-digit Russian army in the Polish pocket in the near future, the prince has set up a new battle group this time. In terms of number of people, this battle group is larger than the regiment and smaller than the division. It is responsible for defeating a division of the Russian army in field battles and can continue to advance for 4 days at a rate of more than 50 kilometers per day!&1t;/p>

In order to achieve this task, the prince spent a lot of money! It goes without saying that an armored battalion was responsible for the attack on the front, not to mention a 1o5mm self-propelled artillery company and a 12ommm self-propelled mortar company, these are standard configurations. The motorized infantry originally used to accompany the assault of armored troops was replaced by armored grenadiers. As for what the difference is? The former was riding a truck, while the latter was riding a semi-track conveyor with a certain degree of defense.&1t;/p>

The brand new semi-tracked combat vehicle produced in Bavaria has finally come to the stage. The territory used by this weasel-style infantry combat vehicle is actually a 5-ton semi-tracked personnel conveyor vehicle. The only difference is that a rotatable machine gun tower or turret is installed on the front of this vehicle, and the front and side can be defended against the attack of machine gun armor-piercing bullets within a certain angle.&1t;/p>

Due to the different weapons, this half-track infantry fighting vehicle is divided into two types: Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 is equipped with a 2-pound gun. Because the weight of the artillery and ammunition occupy a lot of space, this tank cannot be equipped with additional infantry. The Weasel Type 2 infantry fighting vehicle that uses a 12.7mm machine gun can carry 8 infantry, and there are shooting holes specially designed for infantry to shoot outside.&1t;/p>

The prince finally agreed to mass-produce this semi-track armored vehicle, but to make up for the shortcomings of armored vehicles. After all, the Weasel 1 tank actually has nothing to do with infantry fighting vehicles. However, because the number of tanks is not enough and the stability and degree is lower, it is just a cheap alternative. As for Weasel 2? It is a product created by the way. If it weren't for the "Kruger's Circus" on the Eastern Front, he did not plan to approve the production of Weasel 2 tanks.&1t;/p>

Then, when Eric battle group launched an attack, the Russians were stunned because they found that there were too many armored targets they faced, and the three-digit armored units on the opposite side had to rely on 6 companies of 3-inch gun attacks, and such a battle was destined to be a massacre from the beginning!&1t;/p>

"When the German offensive formation unfolded, my mind was blank. When I looked at the tanks rushing out of the smoke, the attack front line with more than 2 kilometers and hundreds of armored vehicles with iron crosses roaring, I knew that we were sure to lose. They formed a moving steel wall and crushed directly with unmatched forces. If the Bavarian armored troops were more of an armored spearhead and pierced your defense line, then this time, they were a huge hammer that directly smashed the rebels to pieces!" A Russian officer described his situation after the war.&1t;/p>

45 cricket tanks and Hu Feng assault guns formed a mixed armored battalion and arranged into three huge V-shaped assault phalanxes, while the weasels 1 and 2 tanks of the two battalions were deployed on both sides of the armored forces. They were more numerous, and the weapons they carried were also not underestimated. Hundreds of artillery, machine guns and large-caliber machine guns aimed at the Russian army in the distance. When the two sides approached a distance of about 1 ooo meter, the entire attack front line was like a volcano spraying, and the metal storm formed by shells fired from one cannon rushed to the opponent like a tide!&1t;/p>

When the Russians fired a shell, the exposed gun position was instantly submerged, and a 2-pound shell made dangerous arcs in the air. After a moment, a cannon and the gun crew next to it were wiped out from the ground. Only a huge crater and fragments scattered beside them told people that there was once a cannon here.&1t;/p>

The Russian machine gunners could not even find a suitable target when facing the advancement like a steel wall. At first, they frantically wiped out bullets, and the rain of bullets like a locust did not work at all in the face of steel. With the sound of tingling collisions, a bullet was bounced away by a heavy steel plate. After a series of sparks, only a few small pits were left!&1t;/p>

"This is a scene I have never seen before. When the Germans attacked, we couldn't even see one person! We were filled with various tanks and armored vehicles. The gray-black paint, the orange flames that jumped when the muzzles and machine guns were fired, and the gray-yellow dust raised when the chariots advanced blocked our vision. We realized that we were using our flesh and blood to block the advance of steel! The other party could collapse us with just firepower!" The lines of the memoir of a Russian machine gunner were filled with despair and fear!&1t;/p>
