Chapter 1252 Bonnegerin Breaks Through
Concentrate on the use of tanks and open a gap? That is the wrong way to break out, look at your own side, break out in a scattered way, and then have more hope of breaking out!
Major General Ponegelin divided his army into twenty divisions, each with only a few thousand people. It was very easy for such a small group to break out.
As for himself, he followed the southwest side to break through. In his analysis, the Germans would definitely set up heavy troops in the east, and their defense in the southwest would be empty, which was his best choice for breaking through.
His breakout troops had only five tanks in front to open the gap, and behind the tank troops were the cavalry troops, and then the infantry.
The cavalry is responsible for guarding the gap and covering the infantry inside to break through. After the infantry has all broken out of the encirclement, the cavalry will withdraw. Although this tactic is not very advanced, there is a great chance of successfully breaking through.
Major General Bonederin rode a steed, with his own guards, and followed behind the tank troops. At this time, in the clear moonlight, they could already see the enemy's defense line on the opposite side.
Charge, charge!
The engine of the T-34 tank made a rumbling sound, and the crisp high-pressure oil pump of the diesel engine was so clear in the dark night. There were two T-34s in the middle, and three BT-7s next to them. They started to face each other. The line of defense, launched a charge!
"The Soviets are coming, hurry up, stop them!" The Hungarian troops here became anxious.
"Rum, Rum!" Yosef jumped into his Toldi light tank, started the engine at the rear, and took his crew members to start the battle.
The space inside the tank is very small, he looked at the dark moonlight, the Soviet tank that had rushed to his side, and the outline of the other side, he knew that it was not easy to deal with.
The two in the middle are T-34s, right? This kind of tank can't be penetrated by its own cannon, but the tanks next to it are no problem.
"Attention, shoot at the tanks on the flanks!" Under his order, the gunner pressed the firing button.
"Tom, tom tom." The 20mm rapid-fire autocannon formed a tongue of flame and strafeed towards the BT-7 fast tank on the side.
"Boom!" The weak armor was immediately torn apart by the 20mm artillery shell, and more than one shot arrived. Several shells hit it, and in an instant, the entire tank was blown up.
The firelight illuminated the dark night sky, and the outlines of the Soviet breakout troops were clearly shown, and the Hungarians present were immediately shocked, so many!
Behind the tank troops, there are a large number of cavalry, and behind the cavalry, there are other troops, this is definitely the main force to break through!
"Quick, ask for help from the German army!" the battalion commander of the tank battalion shouted loudly. He had a premonition that his tank unit would not be able to stop the opponent's breakthrough.
"Boom!" At this moment, the terrifying T-34 tank opened fire, killing Yusuf's tank with one shot. The small Toldi light tank couldn't withstand the blow of the 76mm tank gun at all. The entire car body was broken, and the explosion of the ammunition also illuminated the Hungarian position here.
The tank battalion is not all tanks, they also have infantry. At this time, the infantry on the position gritted their teeth and held their rifles, and began to shoot at the cavalry behind the tank.
His comrade-in-arms, the comrade-in-arms who was still chatting just now, was killed at once, which made Ampel's heart panic all of a sudden.
Can't fire, can't fire.
If you fire, you will be discovered by the opponent's T-34 tank. Your own weak armor can't stop the T-34's blow at all. It's not that you are not brave, but that the Soviet tanks are too ferocious.
Wait until their tanks have passed, then fire yourself!
With this thought in mind, Ampel, who was sitting in his tank, did not order his tank to charge, but was waiting for an opportunity.
Go, go over there!
Although the Hungarian General Wilt was very persistent in attacking the Soviet Union, which was of great benefit to Hungary's expansion of its territory, but the Hungarian army's will to fight was not strong, and the gap in equipment prevented them from being tough.
Moreover, they and the Soviet Union are not mortal enemies, Hungary and Romania are mortal enemies. Historically, Hungary did not pay much attention to the Soviet Union. As long as the Soviet tanks came over, the people on the Hungarian positions would run away. When it came to the Romanian army, it was absolutely suffocating and endless.
Now, working hard to fight the Soviet Union is not worth it.
In the entire Hungarian position, there were only scattered gunshots, and the other tanks did not fire at all. Obviously, the death of their comrades in battle gave them too much stimulation.
So, with a few tanks clearing the way, they managed to tear open the defenders' line of defense. After the tanks rumbled past, the cavalry behind them rushed forward.
"Tom tom tom!" Seeing the cavalry rushing over, the machine gun finally dared to fire on Ampel's tank, and using his own tank to fight the cavalry, this is no problem, right?
There is indeed no problem. Under his blow, he saw rows of cavalry fall down, the horses were neighing, and the riders were struggling. This was simply the most pleasing scene.
"Boom!" It's a pity that Ampel's tank was not arrogant for half a minute, and his tank was beaten and exploded.
Light tanks, weak armor, are not so difficult to deal with in front of the infantry. For example, now, a brave cavalry, taking advantage of the night, bent over, rode his horse next to the tank, and then put the smoking bundle. Cluster grenades together, thrown on his tank!
Compared to talking about a few tanks for opening the gap, the cavalry behind them is much more. There are probably thousands of riders, riding horses galloping. Even if they risk death, they can still get close. next to the opponent's tank.
The second tank was destroyed like this. At this time, the other tanks on the Hungarian defense line seemed to realize the danger and stopped firing. They even put on reverse gear and retreated.
Among the cavalry, Major General Ponegelin was quite excited. He shouted back loudly: "Charge, continue to charge!"
The army on the opposite side is retreating, and the tanks in front of us have already broken out of the encirclement. This time the breakthrough was successful!
The cavalry turned their horses and charged towards both sides of the breakout gap, trying to widen their own breakout gap. Behind the cavalry troops scattered to both sides, there appeared infantry trotting all the way. They were like marathon runners. Run as hard as you can.
Breakthrough, about to succeed!
