"The Fourth Assault Division will follow soon. Three bomber squadrons and two fighter squadrons will cooperate with you in combat. Kill your current enemy-behind forces, you can consider going south and cooperate with other troops to launch an encirclement of the Fifth Army!" Soon Ruprecht's telegram was sent back, and at this time, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. If the armored Mike could be faster, he could catch up with the Russians for lunch, and then Schmidt could catch up with the other party for dinner......

The huge First Assault Army and other units of its subordinates began to launch attack formations, and the long march array began to spread its strong and powerful wings like an eagle spreading its wings. The eagle's most deadly claws, the Black Forest Brown Bear Battle Group, had already rushed towards the Donetsk Division!

"Enemy attack! German armored vehicles!" The first-level scouts of the Russian division are still very eye-catching, at least they do not regard the armored troops as cavalry. Unfortunately, they still don't have enough warning time for the main troops. Almost shortly after the cavalry delivered the information, Mike's armored troops rushed over like an angry male bear!

"Prepare for battle! Order the division's artillery to be deployed quickly!" Under the order of the division commander Major General Gross, the entire division began to quickly deploy defense. After all, it was a standard Russian division. After losing a vanguard regiment, it still had nearly 18,000 people. The four infantry battalions in front were closely linked to form a thick defensive position composed of soldiers and infantry firepower.

"Smash them! Motorized infantry prepare for battle." This is the first real battle that Lieutenant Colonel Mike fought. Although he had just crushed an opponent's regiment, when he encountered a real sword and gun, he would still not underestimate the Russians who were known as European road rollers. There are at least 4 battalions of troops on the front, and if converted into the number of people, it is about 4,000! The huge number already means that this battle will be more troublesome!

The First Independent Armored Battalion formed two interlaced attack formations, and the motorized infantry behind also began to follow up, and the first infantry team carrying this mortar began to drop 1,200 meters away from the opponent. The tactics of the entire Lancer combat group were not a rhythm that ended in a bluff. The offensive of the Bavarian Fast Legion fully exerted its firepower and mobility, organically combining armored troops, long-range artillery, close-range support firepower and infantry units. This time, they could finally test it on the battlefield.

Six 105mm self-propelled howitzers and four towed 150mm heavy howitzers, responsible for long-range support, have begun to tilt bullets towards the Russian position on the front. With a red flame with a breath of destruction falling from the horizon, huge smoke columns covered the entire battlefield. The infantry bunkers dug in a hurry could not resist such shelling. Hundreds of Russian soldiers were killed by flying shrapnel and powerful bombardment waves before they even saw their opponents.

Soon, a slightly long ensemble of mortars was added to the dull sound of heavy artillery. The mortar troops deployed 1,200 meters away began to think about the targets calibrated in front to implement key designs. At 800 meters, the second batch of infantry squads carrying this machine gun came down from the chariot and moved to both sides to cover the armored grenades that were about to be deployed from the side.

500 meters! The second row of chariots stopped and began to shoot the machine gun positions exposed by the Russians with 40mm machine guns and 75mm artillery. The Russians' scattered machine guns were covered with several 2-pound shells as soon as they fired a row of bullets. After a series of explosions, they could only see the ground minced meat and parts scattered on the ground. The first row of tanks continued to press towards the Russians' positions.

When the distance between the two sides was close to 300 meters, a large number of soldiers got off the truck and semi-tracked vehicles. Thanks to good firepower suppression, the infantry troops suffered no losses on the way out. The infantry squad launched an attack under the command of the squad leader. The semi-automatic rifleman and grenademan were slightly behind, and the two teams carrying submachine guns in front launched the final assault under the cover of friendly forces!

At this time, the front of the entire assault group had been very open. If he was facing a solid line of defense, Mike would try to shrink the front of the attack and concentrate his strength to open a gap. But now, facing the hasty defense line and the Russian troops without any anti-armor units, he would feel at ease to expand his front, turn a slender rifle into a sharp axe, and sweep across it horizontally!

However, the strength of the attack was not bad. Although the armored troops were dispersed, a large number of mortars and machine gun firepower were fully expanded! Especially after the trench cleaning team carrying submachine guns entered the combat distance, the firepower of the infantry on both sides was completely one-sided!

The 9mm bullets, like a blizzard, were overwhelming as the Russian soldiers rushing up. The fire net formed by hundreds of machine guns spitting out deadly flames made the Russian soldiers who had never seen a submachine gun completely desperate. The rows of soldiers were swept down by bullets like cutting wheat. The huge number of people became a huge number of casualties at this moment, and the Russian infantry formation under attack was instantly knocked down!

Boom! Boom! The Russian three-inch rapid-fire cannon deployed behind also began to counterattack, and one shell was sporadically landed on the German offensive formation, but this was useless. They would soon be attacked by various direct and curved firepower.

With a bang, Lieutenant Colonel Mike's head had an intimate contact with the armor on the front of the chariot. A 3-inch shell accurately hit the tilted armor of Mike's Hufeng-style assault gun. The explosion of high-explosive shells instantly shocked the body of the car. Then, two more shells hit the chariot one after another!

"Tell the Blue Company! I'm attacked! Find that hateful guy!" As the command chariot, Mike's chariot had no artillery. There was only one stick to disguise it, and the Blue Company next to it was its guards. The two steel lancers next to it quickly found two 3-inch rapid-fire cannons that were constantly firing. A series of 2-pound shells and 3 75 shells instantly covered the artillery position. After a loud bang, the two artillery, together with the gun group and a machine gun nest next to it, were sent directly to the sky.

The precision war machine composed of tanks, infantry and artillery quickly harvested the lives of the other party. The Russian troops in the four battalions did not look as strong as expected, nor were they as many. After clearing out the three-inch rapid-fire cannons and most of the machine guns, even if the rest were slaughtered, the battle quickly returned to the rhythm of unilateral abuse. Fortunately, the Russian division was large in size and would not bore Mike and others.
Chapter completed!
