Chapter 78 The March of the Iron Torrent: How many troops are there on a battlefield of square kilometers?(You can skip this chapter. I support skipping. I feel something is wrong with my body, so I will speed up the following.) The surrender of the Fortress Army was undoubtedly a blow to the Iron Blood Army. This had a great impact on their morale and indirectly led to the failure of the southern offensive. until now. Not only was the Iron Bloods fighting the Allies, the Southern Group was non-offensive, and the Imperial Army Division was invading in the far west. Not only are they fighting the Allies, but the battle for outer lands is also underway! Although it seemed like the Allies had won this victory, in fact, they were just trying to restore the balance. This proves that after the Iron Blood Army was defeated in the Gler Fortress, their strategic plan was still to attack, not defend! Winter passed quickly. The coming of the Big Bear winter made them never forget this memory. From then on, from February to June, the two sides were fighting each other. Small armies invaded separately, the most serious of which was an air battle, in which the Big Bear won a tragic victory.
When the Iron Blood front line stretched out, when the Allies hindered the Iron Blood's progress. Comparing the logistics, production, and construction of both sides, the gap between the Iron Bloods and the Allies is ten times! It can be said that every victory of the Allies was a pyrrhic victory. Comparing the national strength of both sides, the Allied Forces had a vast territory and population base. Although the Iron Bloods won with fewer troops, the reserve army reinforcements were too few! July. Iron-blooded decision-making department. They decided to launch a large-scale battle in the summer of a city called Chur to change the Iron Blood's current uneasy situation. It's like creating an iron-blooded version of Gler to save the current situation. Regaining the initiative would be a major blow to the Allies. Once the decision-making department made the decision, a plan code-named "Fortress" was formulated. But they didn't expect that all these plans were under the surveillance of the Allies. The communication code of the Iron Blood was cracked, and the spies who had reorganized the department came into play. In order to prove that the information was correct, the Allied spies also kidnapped the opponent's sergeant for questioning. It was finally confirmed that the Iron Blood would launch a counterattack at 5:25 . on the 5th. After receiving accurate information, a large number of T34 tanks from various groups entered the defense, along with self-propelled artillery, Katyusha rockets, thousands of aircraft, marines and armored groups. Soldiers from both camps were mobilized frantically, with a large number of ace military divisions and ace main forces coming to fight. More than one million soldiers were assembled in just a few days! The remaining troops on the distant front lines carried out harassment to relieve the pressure of the main battle. the other side. As soon as the Allies learned the information, they built three deep and tiered defense lines. The battle between the two sides is about to break out. But because the Allies knew the news in advance, they attacked three hours before the Iron Blood Offensive, at 2:25 . on the 5th.
The Allies launched the battle before the Iron Blood A sky full of Katyusha rockets and various artillery pieces flew over the positions and landed on the iron-blooded positions. For a moment, the Iron Blood troops were dizzy and confused, and it would take several more hours to counterattack, but the enemy attacked first! Katyusha, with flames trailing from its tail, charged straight at the enemy position. Since the Baker heavy truck was assisted by Raging Sea, Katyusha's stability switching speed has become faster! In the Allied positions. Hundreds of heavy trucks were lined up in formation, with various anti-aircraft guns, and the full-speed firepower attack instantly dealt a heavy blow to the Iron Blood camp! The sky was full of flames and thick smoke, and the audience once again felt the shock of Katyusha. This equipment is like an organ-like weapon, firing one shot after another. In this era, Katyusha rockets have crushed most weapons! It’s not about quality, but quantity! The camera pulls back to the full-scale war, and a large-scale bombing scene begins. The Allied bombing squadrons also begin to act, but due to the iron-blooded air defense force, the degree of destruction is not as good as that of rockets. outside world. The audience was excited as they watched, even though the weapons gave them the impression of being very old and backward. But it is precisely because it is rough enough that it attracts people's attention. The bombing did not have gorgeous decorations, but there were terrible explosions! The Allied artillery fire began in the early morning, causing heavy damage to the Iron Bloods. At dawn, the Katyusha artillery stopped firing. The Allied T34 tank cluster charged, followed by a large number of soldiers. This time, the scene of the steel torrent was perfectly presented. The overwhelming tanks are like a steel torrent, attacking the iron-blooded positions! But the Iron Blood was a well-refined force after all. They reacted quickly and mobilized their ace tank group to respond. Although it was three hours later than planned, other fronts still counterattacked as planned. On this four-kilometer-long battle front, more than nine hundred iron-blooded tanks launched resistance, with the famous Tiger tanks as the vanguard and the Leopard medium tanks escorting a frenzied counterattack! The Tiger heavy tank weighs 56 tons, uses a Maybach 12-cylinder engine with 700 horsepower, and has its own 88mm gun. Its defense and firepower are unmatched by ordinary tanks. Once on the Western Front, a Tiger tank destroyed 27 main battle tanks of the Sunset Empire and withstood anti-tank infantry shells. The Allied medium-sized T34, with a total weight of 34 tons, 500 horsepower, and equipped with a 76mm gun, has outstanding mobility, but is slightly inferior to the Tiger! In addition, the other end of the battle line. The Iron Blood troops redeployed and urgently transferred a large number of 88mm anti-aircraft guns to the frontline positions, adjusted them and leveled them, and fired accurately at the charging T34 tanks. Flak leveled, court martial. The Iron Blood's anti-aircraft guns were very accurate, and the 88mm shell had great destructive power. Some tanks were destroyed after being hit from two kilometers away. Then the artillery regiments bombarded the soldiers behind the tanks! The Allied forces lost hundreds of tanks and thousands of soldiers in the first round of attack and had to temporarily postpone their retreat. They did not expect that the enemy would directly resist with anti-aircraft guns! the other side. Nine hundred Iron-Blooded tanks charged on the front line, instantly tearing open the Allied defense line, creating an eight-kilometer-long gap, followed closely by a large number of armored forces.
Even though the Allies knew the other side's plan, they were still abused because the Iron Blood was so familiar with the use of tank battles that they treated it as a lightning raid. The Tiger tanks charged forward, but they entered the Allied anti-tank minefield, explosions occurred, and a large number of tank tracks and armor were damaged. At the same time, there are Allied troops hiding in the trenches and using explosives to detonate! All of a sudden, the Iron Blood tanks began to be damaged. At the same time, the Iron Blood First Ace Tank Division was transferred from the northern area to launch a flank attack. Unfortunately, the Allies learned of the telegram and dispatched the 1st Division to station there early. On the battlefield. Ground tanks charged, self-propelled artillery provided support, and fighter jets frequently took off from the sky. In this narrow strip of 15 square kilometers, both sides deployed more than 8,000 tanks, more than 5,000 aircraft, and million troops! It was the largest tank battle in the world, and they all suffered heavy damage under the impact of the opponent's steel torrent! In the tank cockpit. A soldier fired at the front of the Tiger tank, 76mm gun fired three times in a row. The Tiger tank was attracted by their attention, moved the gun barrel, and fired a shot to destroy the armor from the front! "We can't penetrate their armor!" The Allied soldiers were desperate. en route. The famous "Iron Fist" anti-tank grenade of the Iron Blood Army frequently appeared on the battlefield. Although it is a disposable product, its low manufacturing cost makes it widely used in the army. The anti-tank grenade carried by the Panzerfaust has a killing range of 30 meters, weighs 3 kilograms, and has a caliber of 100. It can easily penetrate 140mm armor, while the armor of the Allied T34 tank is only 45mm... (End of this chapter)
