Chapter 3138 Help Quickly! Russians!
After receiving the timely rescue of the leader army, the Germans, who were about to be eaten alive by the Japanese, immediately stood up.
Although they did not dare to rush too far forward due to the lack of infantry and had to keep a certain distance from the Japanese army at all times, the combat performance of these Tiger tanks wearing blue flags was indeed completely different from before.
The Japanese army, unable to withstand the high-pressure attack of the Red Army, fought and retreated, and the German army, with strong support behind them, pressed forward step by step.
The more the Japanese retreated, the more the German army chased forward. These Tiger tanks, which were hanging behind the buttocks like a piece of taffy, became a major concern for the Japanese army in an instant.
The not-so-good heading machine guns and coaxial machine guns fired continuously, and as long as they were not jammed or malfunctioned, they would always pour firepower on the buttocks of the Japanese army.
The 88mm gun fired one round after another at full speed, and the muzzle brake flashed continuously. The high-speed whistling shells mixed with the machine gun barrage could kill several Japanese soldiers on the spot, and at least a dozen Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded by the shrapnel around them.
The Japanese army, who were already furious after being betrayed by the Germans, could not swallow this breath. The Japanese infantry colonel who vowed to teach these traitors a lesson was about to draw his sword and give an order, but saw a captain under his command already running in front of him with a bloody face.
"Sir, our soldiers are almost dead! My brigade is almost wiped out!"
"Destroyed!? If the whole brigade is wiped out, why did you come back? I'll take charge, you go and die!"
After saying that, without waiting for the already injured brigade commander to reply, the exasperated brigade commander directly pulled out the command knife from his waist, held the hilt with both hands, swung his arms, aimed at the opponent's forehead and chopped it down, and a shrill scream suddenly rang out.
"Ah!!!"
Pucha——
Looking at the brigade commander who was chopped alive by him, he had fallen on his back, and a deep knife mark was cut from the axis of his eyebrows to his chin. His lifeless eyes were facing the sky and blood was flowing on his face. He was dead and could not die anymore, and died on the spot.
Knowing that he had no way to retreat, the Japanese colonel gasped, his chest heaving up and down, trying to suppress his anger. He raised his head and looked straight ahead with a fierce look, and the next second he raised his knife and roared towards the sky.
"Warriors of the Empire, follow me to charge! Tsu-s-ge-ge!!! Board!!!"
"Board!!!"
"Su-ka! Here they come again! Are these Japanese devils not done yet?!"
Looking at the Japanese army that had just retreated and swept back, the battalion commander who led the team and commanded the team, knowing that he could not charge at this time, quickly ordered to slow down the attack speed, and opened fire at full power while keeping a distance from the oncoming Japanese army.
"Fire! Stop them! Don't let them rush to us!"
Originally thought that the crazy counterattack of the Japanese army was coming towards them, but the battalion commander soon found that this was not the case. The real target of those Japanese soldiers who shouted and charged with bayonets and rifles was actually the Germans who had few infantry around them to rely on.
"Damn it! The Japanese monkeys are coming towards us, help us! Russians!!!"
Seeing the situation was not good, Stauffenl, who had just taken a breath, shouted again on the radio channel.
Although he frowned, he really had no choice but to watch these Germans who were already playing their value die.
As for the specific value.
You see, this is the value now.
The Germans' ability to attract hatred is really higher than that of the leader army, at least for the moment.
The Japanese, who were backstabbed and felt that the Germans had few tanks and no infantry cover, were easy to bully, so they would rather give up their original main opponent, the leader army, and first expose these "traitors who are traitors".
As long as the Germans can continue to be present, this situation of "you must attack the follower with a taunting effect first" will continue. Even if it is placed in front of the Japanese to cause trouble and attract hatred, it is very useful, not to mention that the supporting firepower of the 20 Tiger tanks is really not weak, which is a considerable combat force.
These were enough for the battalion commander to order a rescue.
"Got it, reinforcements are coming! Hold on!"
Even if the Japanese army was bombed down with artillery fire, as long as there were still troops left, the Japanese would continue to launch wave after wave of attacks, targeting the Germans who looked like easy to open cans.
Rather than listening to the Germans constantly calling for help on the radio, they would provide fire support over and over again.
Just thinking about it was troublesome enough, and Varosha, who also witnessed this scene and heard the radio call not far behind the line of fire, decided to take a more direct approach to solve the problem at one time.
"Send a mechanized infantry battalion to cooperate with these Germans in infantry-tank coordination, and temporarily organize a mechanized battle group. Don't let these Germans talk nonsense on the radio anymore, it's annoying enough to listen to."
"This"
The regiment commander on the side did not question the order, but the details of the specific implementation level still need to be confirmed.
"Comrade Division Commander, our soldiers have never cooperated with the German armored forces. Even if the temporary formation is completed, the combat effectiveness may not be fully exerted..."
"Then we can use as much as we can! We don't ask for much offensive energy, but at least we should not let the tin boxes opened by these Germans be smashed by the Japanese devils' human bombs. It is enough to do this! This is the minimum requirement, and we can do as much as we can for the rest."
"Yes, comrade division commander, I will convey the order now."
Seeing that his regiment commander was ready to take the order and leave, Varosha, who had his own judgment on the battle situation, did not forget to add a sentence at the end.
"Don't think of these Tigers as tanks, just think of them as self-propelled artillery. Our infantry is now going to protect the artillery positions."
"As long as their 20 88 guns can continue to fire at a high rate of fire, can continue to advance with the front line, can attract the Japanese to attack them, and thus create better offensive opportunities for us, then it is worth investing in this mechanized infantry battalion, do it!"
Varosha's updated order was quickly executed.
A mechanized infantry battalion riding on BMP43 infantry fighting vehicles made a fast cross-country maneuver. While maintaining radio communication and communicating with the Germans in a timely manner, they soon arrived around the Tiger tanks. The infantrymen on board immediately opened the door and got out of the vehicles, carrying their weapons and quickly engaging in battle.
This scene really shocked the German armored soldiers led by Staufener, who had never seen the "infantry fighting vehicle", a new toy of the Russians, and they were so shocked that they were sitting in the car and exclaimed.
