Chapter 3132 Three-Way Battle (Part 1)
"Are you sure? Do you really want to go there yourself? Isn't this a bit too risky? Performance"
Before leaving, the deputy division commander stopped him and persuaded him kindly. The determined Valosha turned around and just smiled nonchalantly.
"Hey, think about it, think about when we fought our way out of Stalingrad in 1943. The situation at that time was much worse than it is now."
"The Nazis at that time almost put a knife on our necks, but we were not afraid and survived. Now we have a big family and a big business, and have become the world's leading combined arms force. Why do we still have so many concerns?"
""
Valosha was speechless and didn't know how to answer. In the end, he could only smile at each other and reach a consensus with his own division commander.
Valosha, who still felt uneasy after thinking about it, decided to go to the front line to "supervise the battle" in person.
It's not that he was worried that his troops could not cope with such a situation. Valosha still had this confidence.
It's just that in the face of this special battle where unexpected variables may occur, Varosha still hopes that his command position can shorten the physical distance from the front as much as possible, so that if any unexpected situation really occurs, it can be convenient for command and timely update of combat orders.
By the way, it can also satisfy his personal wishes.
From a personal emotional perspective, Varosha really wants to see what kind of unforgettable scene is the "Nazi remnants fighting against the Japanese bow-legged".
This kind of good show is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I'm afraid there will never be another great show in the future.
The command and overall coordination of the division headquarters was handed over to the deputy division commander. Varosha, who rarely rides armored combat vehicles, asked for a BMP43 as his own car, and then rushed to the front line with his escort.
At the same time, on the other side, after receiving how to cooperate with the possible "pre-battle uprising" of the Germans to update the combat order, the front-line attack force closest to the main force of the Japanese army of the Varosha Division was also ready.
"I can't believe that the Germans are now willing to surrender to us and even help us deal with these Japanese troops. Have these Germans changed their ways after the demise of Nazi Germany?"
"You think too much. These cowards are just afraid of death. They have no other way to survive, so they can only do this."
"Okay, shut up and concentrate. We can already see the enemy's position, get ready for battle!"
The commander, who was holding the periscope and continuously watching the battlefield, had already found the target. The square Tiger tank with a very distinctive appearance appeared in the field of vision.
The situation was just as described in the order received.
The Tiger tank leading the way was indeed equipped with a blue identification flag that was extremely conspicuous and bright on the battlefield.
Blue is neither a camouflage color nor a common color in land warfare environments. Instead, it is often used as a conspicuous identification color on signal flags.
The Tiger tank, which is not small in size, is now equipped with a blue identification flag, which can be distinguished from other Japanese tanks around it that do not have this flag.
The Japanese attacking formation included more than just Tiger tanks. The IS7 commander quickly saw a variety of different types of armored vehicles appearing in his field of vision.
The ones that have been clearly seen so far include Type 3 medium war and Japanese wheeled armored vehicles, and perhaps some other junk mixed in. It can be seen that the Japanese army has almost poured out all the assets they can show.
"The blue Tigers are easy to distinguish, and the formation is quite concentrated. They are all on the left side. What should we do?"
The gunner, who was holding the gun mirror to confirm the enemy situation, asked for orders. On the other side, the commander, who was also watching the battlefield through the periscope in front of him, did not answer directly, but directly picked up the transmitter at hand, pressed the communication button and gave orders.
"Attention, all units! Stop advancing, infantry fighting vehicles stand by, all tank crews enter the firing position at the combat position, load armor-piercing shells and prepare to fire, waiting for my order!"
"Received."
"Understood."
From tanks to infantry fighting vehicles, all armored combat vehicles were equipped with vehicle-mounted radios, and the leader's attack force immediately stopped upon hearing the order.
The steel torrent that was just rolling forward suddenly came to a standstill, standing on the ground like a steel wall.
No infantry got off the vehicle, no artillery fire, just quietly stopped there as if waiting for something, keeping the last distance of less than one kilometer from the Japanese vanguard.
Such a strange scene really scared the Japanese army on the opposite side who were caught off guard, and they couldn't figure out what the Russians were up to.
"Baga! What are the Russians trying to do? Is it a trap!?"
"I don't know, but look! Those Germans are still moving forward! They haven't stopped yet!"
"What!?"
The Japanese heavy tank battalion leader who was in charge of leading the attack was still wondering, but with the reminder of the crew beside him, he saw that the Type 4 heavy tanks driven by the Germans were still moving forward.
Before the Japanese who had just stopped the tank asked anything, they heard the Japanese voice of Stauffener communicating from the radio channel.
"We are responsible for attracting the attention of the Russians and are ready to provide direct fire support! Please ask the high-mobility medium tank unit to quickly outflank the Russians' flanks!"
Not to mention the situation on the Russian side, the German-flavored Japanese coming from the radio channel was very high-spirited.
At first glance, there was nothing wrong with this request. The tactical coordination of heavy tank support and medium tank charter was reasonable.
The captain, who had indeed received the order of "cooperate as much as possible" from his own regiment commander, was thinking about it and was about to give an order, but the forward firing on the side of Staufen was even faster.
"Load armor-piercing shells, gunners ready! 800 meters away at 1 o'clock, aim at the Russian heavy tanks, and hit the biggest one!"
"What? Fire at the Russians? Isn't this possible?"
"The Russians will be angry, Staufen, are you sure you want to do this!?"
"Our King Tiger couldn't even deal with their IS6 at the beginning, so how could the Tiger copied by the Japanese deal with the bigger thing? The attack will not be effective, Staufen, the Tiger tank can't deal with that monster!"
Although the order was asked continuously by the gunner, loader, and driver who also knew the action plan, the rookie sitting in the position of the mechanic didn't open his mouth yet.
But Staufener remained unmoved and remained firm, speaking without hesitation.
"We have to fight because we can't penetrate! The Russians know we will do this, so don't worry! Show it to the Japanese, open fire immediately!"
