Chapter 1262 Noodle Army Is No Longer Soft

Attack, attack!

One after another P26 heavy tanks galloped in the field, and on the antenna of the tank's radio, the Italian military situation fluttered in the wind.

This is an Italian army, belonging to the Maletti armored group. During the civil strife in Rome, they first entered the city of Rome, calmed the order, and became one of the most credited troops in the Italian Royal Army. After that, This force has also been expanded, and now it has more than 200 tanks and a huge mechanized force with a total number of more than 40,000 people.

The Noodle Army in history was very poor in combat effectiveness, but it is different now. Their troops have been rigorously trained by German instructors and have become a powerful force second only to the German army.

When the battle of Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union started, Italy mobilized the whole country. With the support of Garibaldi, Italy dispatched a total of 300,000 troops. They followed Germany's ass and moved forward.

The current Maletti armored group is the fastest rushing. After they crossed Belarus, they finally caught up with the German army. Just as the German army was short of troops, they sent them over to fight a small Shepe. Tovka, is there always a problem?

According to the information that has been obtained, Shepetovka has become an empty city. There are no established troops stationed there. The Italian army of more than 40,000 people should be able to fight a small city. The capture of the hub can also cause trouble for Smolensk.

In the middle of the troops, on a P26 heavy tank, the commander, Major General Aresca, showed half of his body and looked at the city in front of him. He felt that the victory was in his hands.

This kind of tank is an advanced tank produced by Italy in accordance with the German Leopard 2 production drawings, and thousands of vehicles have been produced so far.

Although it is incomparable with the advanced German tanks, and it has also been changed to gasoline engines, compared with the Italian army's previous CV35, the performance has been completely changed. Their task is not to fight against the Soviet tank troops, only It is even easier to recover a city that has lost its defensive strength.

Major General Aresca's binoculars continuously swept across the city's periphery. Suddenly, his expression changed: "Attention, change the battle formation, there is a line of defense constructed by the defenders in front!"

Damn, the intelligence said that this is an empty city, how could the troops come out to defend it? Regardless of them, even if they have the strength to defend, they must be conquered in one fell swoop under the powerful attacking power of their own side!

Under the strict training of German instructors, the entire unit was completely renewed. After receiving the order of Major General Aresca, the tank units in front immediately began to change formations on the move.

The tanks in front slowed down, and the tanks in the back came up quickly, and the formation of the long snakes was transformed into a triangular offensive formation.

How do you see that the opponent is defending? Major General Aresca was in the binoculars, but he didn't actually see anything. It was this anomaly that convinced him that the opponent was defending.

Generally speaking, if there is no order inside, then when your own troops are attacking, the opponent's city must be in chaos, but now, you can see the edge of the city from here, there is no silhouette, and there is no panic scene. , doesn't that explain the problem? There must be precautions ahead!

Major General Aresca remembered that when he was studying at the Berlin Military Academy, the most famous Guderian taught them. Guderian said that as a commander, you must be careful and don’t miss any small link. Small meets big.

Now, relying on this little clue, he is sure that the other party must have an ambush.

Seeing the formation of the tanks on the opposite side, Colonel Shaw, who was guarding here, couldn't help but sighed. He just saw these tanks moving in a big way without any precautions. He planned to make a sneak attack, but now, the other side has changed. After becoming a battle formation, you can only use the most conventional style of play.

There was a rumbling sound from behind, and Shaw turned around, and it was his tank that started.

They have only one 116th Tank Regiment on hand now. If it is an ordinary defender, they will definitely keep these tank regiments on hand as the last reserve, but General Lukin is definitely not an ordinary person. He was in the first place. , sent out the tank regiment, and made a good start first.

Alexander, the head of the tank regiment, looked at the opposite side through the narrow observation hole.

Those tanks looked very similar to the Black Panther 3 in appearance, but they were a little different. The feeling was indescribable. When the tank troops continued to move and the distance between the two sides was getting closer, Alexander responded.

The gun barrel of the opponent's tank is a little thin and short. It is not an 88mm tank gun, nor does it look like a 75mm gun, but more like a 50mm tank gun.

Yes, this is the Panther 2 tank used by the German second-line troops, right?

Thinking of this, he came to his confidence. Black Panther 2 and Black Panther 3 looked very similar, but in fact, the firepower and armor of both sides were very different.

There are more than a dozen T-34 tanks in my own tank force, and these tanks completely suppress the German Panther 2 tanks in terms of performance!

Almost at the same time, the opposing tank troop also saw the Soviet tank troop attacking in front, and immediately, they changed their formation.

"Attention, avoid the center and quickly surround from both sides!"

One after another P26 tanks, black smoke coming out of the tail, the triangular formation suddenly turned and maneuvered towards the two wings.

The Italian tank soldiers also knew that their tank guns were a bit difficult to deal with the T-34, so they simply avoided the front, attacked from both sides, and relied on the outstanding mobility of their tanks to go around to the side of the counter!

If it was the Noodle Army in the past, they would only swarm up, and after the first tank in front was destroyed, they would immediately disperse like birds and beasts. Now, although the tanks are not as good as the German army, they are skilled in tactics.

Before getting into the firefighting distance, the Soviet tank crews were in trouble.

The number of Soviet tanks was small.

Now, the noodle army is separated and surrounded them, but they can't be separated to both sides. There are only more than 20 vehicles. If they are separated, it will soon become a situation of being surrounded and beaten.

They couldn't move on either, and were easily surrounded by each other.

After realizing this crisis, Alexander, who had not fired a shot, immediately made a decision: "Retreat, withdraw all the defense lines!"

He can't take risks. His tank troops are the most powerful force. Even if he is a fixed battery on the defense line, it can bring huge casualties to the attacking tank troops of the other side. He can't be destroyed by flanking attacks. More than worth the loss.
