Eight Hundred and Eleven Bridges in the Distance

"Yes! The times are different!" Everyone in the interim headquarters of the G Group Army far away on the German front line was rejoicing at such a thorough harassment operation. Net, at least in the eyes of the top management, everything can be said to be going very smoothly now.

"It's not easy to do this. If it weren't for making up for the time we lost halfway, I wouldn't have the cheek to ask the head of state for support." Guderian looked at the map, and only a few people in this office knew The entire content of the entire plan. This operation can be regarded as the first time in the world that special operations are used on a large scale on the front line, and in cooperation with the front-line troops, a large-scale assault is carried out.

The German army used artillery and bombers to cover its real combat purpose, that is, to use the Odin helicopter to transport 400 special forces at low altitudes, enter the enemy's compound, and carry out special assaults-this is just the first action plan in the huge offensive plan .

The three most elite special forces operations brigades of the German army, including the Viper, all appeared on the scene, and cooperated in the completion of the largest special forces operation plan in human history in the Caucasus region.

The German special forces, code-named Viper, are responsible for occupying the transportation hub, preventing reinforcements from the opponent, and cutting off the opponent's communication link. This force has now controlled the important railway bridge and the surrounding anti-aircraft artillery positions, and has completed its task. They blew up the Soviet train, blocked the traffic, and created panic, which disturbed the judgment of the Soviet army.

Another action unit code-named Night Demon was responsible for clearing the airborne field of the paratroopers. Led by Skorzeny, they cleared up most of the anti-aircraft artillery positions in the airborne field in a short period of time, and prevented the Soviet army from gathering to counterattack and cover the airborne field. Paratroopers land. Of course, they also overfulfilled the task and blew up an important front-line arsenal of the Soviet army.

There is also an action unit without a name, but a designation called the Third Brigade, which penetrated into the center of the Soviet army's position through the night, destroyed the division command post of the 160th Division in one fell swoop, and created the 166th Division and the 160th Division of the Soviet Army. conflict between. Of course, this unit also suffered the most losses because it was caught in the center of the Soviet army. At least 170 soldiers were killed before they reluctantly withdrew from the position.

The three troops successfully completed the task, allowing the German army to take the initiative on the battlefield. At least now the Soviet army has fallen into chaos, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, in front of the German armored forces. Of course, Guderian, who created all this, hopes to see the current situation the most, because he knows his armored forces best-use the fastest and most fierce attack to tear apart the chaotic defense line of the opponent, divide the encirclement and collapse the opponent . . . the "Rhythm of the German Armored Forces" in its truest sense of the word.

"We need the sharpest spears to tear through the enemy's defenses, and then use the most powerful hammers to smash everything in front of us!" Guderian looked at the generals who had been summoned, and finally set his sights on On Frick, the commander of the 3rd SS Armored Division: "I have the heaviest task for you. Do you have any requirements?"

"Your Excellency,

You know, I've never had much commanding talent, it just made me find some good subordinates. "Frick said shyly. Judging by his expression, you can't associate him with the most elite armored force of the German army. While scratching his head, he said embarrassedly: "Codenamed 'Gover' The railway bridge, my troops have 3 days off, and some additional food - real food. "

"Hahaha!" Guderian pointed at Frick and laughed. He knew that the other party was the commander who would benefit his subordinates the most in the entire army. It might not be very good in combat, but when it comes to popularity, There may be more than those battle-tested teachers.

His subordinates can always eat fresh vegetables, make slightly better bread, and often have canned food and sausages to improve their lives-even the replacement of tents, their 3rd Armored Division is the first choice... All this is in On the front line, where people die every second, these things are what soldiers dream of.

Of course, everyone knows that Frick has no room for promotion. The highest combat commander in the SS is the division commander, and it is impossible for the Wehrmacht to allow the SS to organize its own military-level combat units. And Frick's own ability is limited to searching for benefits for his subordinates, and leading a division is already very reluctant.

But when a person is frustrated in a certain aspect, he may be proud of a certain aspect, such as this General Frick. Although his promotion path was full of thorns, he was compensated in another way. The 3rd SS Panzer Division under his command can be said to be the most powerful unit in the entire German army, so the division commander has almost as many medals on his chest as his top boss Heinrich.

"Okay!" After laughing twice, Guderian agreed to the other party's request: "5 sausages for each car group, from me! Each car group will send 10 canned food, plus bread and potatoes Ni, I'll go all out and give you an extra load of vegetables... so you don't have to call me stingy behind your back!"

...

In the battalion headquarters of the 502nd battalion, the battalion commander walked to Rennes' No. 13 tank with his hands behind his back, and looked at the five guys who could eat as much as pigs, who were desperately stuffing sausages and vegetables into their mouths. Today's food is rare and delicious, at least according to the standards of the front line, if you don't eat enough at this time, you will die with regret in the end.

"Okay! I know it makes you very upset to see me. Alice, I know that your inspection only started at the beginning, and you didn't even write all 30 words." The battalion commander looked at a few people deliberately not to read His subordinates said with a wry smile: "The attack will start in ten minutes. You have to advance 90 kilometers, defeat all the enemies along the way, and reach the bridge marked as the cover on the map."

As he said, he handed the new map in his hand to Ren: "There is a paratrooper unit over there that needs your support. You must rush there as quickly as possible. If you arrive one minute earlier, there may be fewer Many, many people died."

"Don't write any more checks, I'll just pretend nothing happened. Get there and defeat the opponent's armored force. The task is very simple, right?" Finally, he looked at Ren and others, and said softly: " Come back alive, this is also a mission!"

"Bowman! Start the tank! We're ready to go!" Ren glanced at the map and waved his hand: "Bruce, put another portion of all the food. If you are not full, you can go back to the car later." Eat! Andre, go and help Bruce check the ammunition, mainly armor-piercing bullets, and replenish as soon as possible.”

"Alice! Go and call all the commanders in the company, I want to assign tasks!" Finally, he let Alice run to find Marcus and others, and he looked at the battalion commander: "Now the Soviet Union The people's positions are very chaotic, it is not difficult to break through here, the key is to kill the railway bridge along the way, right?"

"I'm sorry...except for you, I can't think of anyone who can lead his troops forward for 90 kilometers in one go." The battalion commander stuffed a cigarette into his mouth while looking at Ren who was analyzing the map in detail with his eyes, with Apologetically, he said, "If I were you, I'd take your crew back to Berlin, where it's much safer than here."

"I learned the process of killing people. No one would want to learn. In fact, I think I exist for this war. Unfortunately, I can only stay here and cause trouble for you."

"I wish for it." The battalion commander smiled, then patted Ren on the shoulder, and walked into the distance: "The attack can be launched at any time, the shelling has just stopped, and you still have 7 minutes to prepare everything."

Not long after the battalion commander left, all the commanders of the 9 tanks of the 1st company arrived. Ren pointed to the map and arranged: "We don't have to worry about the flanks. This time we have friendly troops from the 1st Armored Army to help us cover On the flanks, we only need to attack forward desperately, and the attack will be fine!"

"There is no problem with the attack, the key is how far we want to attack." After Marcus glanced at the map, he found that there was a serious problem with the direction of their attack. It seemed that there was no important military target worthy of immediate occupation, and they just moved forward blindly. Offensive, advancing along a nondescript road-rail multi-use line.

"30 kilometers? That's no problem. Now the Soviet Union's defense line has been loosened. It's no problem to charge forward 30 kilometers or even 40 kilometers in one breath." The commander of the No. 114 tank looked at the map and analyzed, and followed Rennes. For such a long time, the commander of his experience was placed in other troops, and it was more than enough to lead a platoon by himself.

"My God, didn't we let us attack 50 kilometers in one go?" The platoon leader of the second platoon asked with his mouth wide open when he saw that Ren was silent.

"We must attack forward as fast as possible, and hit as far as we can. But...we will hit here soon!" Ren swipe his finger on the map and press his fingertips on the map In a distant place, the German army code-named a railway-highway bridge called "Gaizi".

"Ren, are you kidding me? It's not easy to move forward for almost 90 kilometers in one breath." Marcus swallowed and looked at Ren. This is not just rushing on the road casually, as long as you keep marching. They wanted to fight all the way through, break through the enemy's defense line, along a road, and cut the enemy's position in a desperate breath.

"Of course I'm not joking! Let's go now! Check the ammunition and spare fuel, and a maintenance vehicle from the battalion headquarters will follow us... We will rush to that bridge tomorrow morning!" Ren picked up the map , while loudly giving the order to attack: "All of the 1st company! Let's go!"
