Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2588 I underestimated the enemy
To deal with the First Cavalry Division, there is not much difference in strength between the two sides. The Southward Detachment led by Jiang Tiezhang has mental calculations and unintentional help, so although the First Cavalry Division has a strong combat effectiveness, the students of the Southward Division Played very easily.The expected bitter battle did not happen, which everyone was happy to see, but because the First Cavalry Division was only the vanguard of the Second Armored Army, those who were familiar with the situation, such as Jiang Tiezhang, did not dare to relax.

Are you ready?Are you ready for the tough battle tomorrow?What I encountered today was only a German striker with 5 people, but tomorrow I will face the main force of the German army with more than [-] people.Because of Ouyang Yun's relationship, the entire expeditionary force never dared to underestimate the German Wehrmacht.Although he had accumulated considerable confidence in the repeated victories of Army Group A before, Jiang Tiezhang was also apprehensive about facing the vicious Second Armored Army. He didn't know what the battle would be like tomorrow.

"Boss, shall we reserve some troops in the Beijiu area?" It was a combat staff officer named Qiu Jiangcun who made this suggestion.

Everyone looked at Jiang Tiezhang.

When the battle really started, because the German army had absolute advantages in strength and equipment, it was conceivable that the southward detachment would eventually enter the defensive position.At that time, if a troop can be reserved in the Beijiu area, in case the battle goes wrong, the main force of the troops can completely withdraw from the Beijiu area to Gudongbu Mountain, which faces Lalbu Mountain from north to south.The Second Panzer Army's advantage lies in its high degree of mechanization. In this way, as long as it can withdraw to Gudongbu Mountain, the German army can only look at the mountain and sigh, no matter how powerful it is.

"What is the purpose of our trip?" Jiang Tiezhang did not immediately answer Qiu Jiangcun's words, but asked rhetorically.

Qiu Jiangcun is such a smart person, he heard the sound and knew the meaning, and immediately said: "I'm just talking, I absolutely obey the chief's arrangement."

Jiang Tiezhang was quite satisfied with his attitude, so he didn't continue to pursue this topic, but looked around and said: "You are all veterans, you should know that if the Second Armored Army really wants to encircle us, it will actually be right in the middle. We have our hands full. So what we should consider now is how to persist longer and buy time for the main force in Sabi. Therefore, I am not worried that the Second Panzer Army will encircle us. On the contrary, I am afraid that they will send some troops to suppress us , and then the main force went straight north regardless. The latter situation is absolutely not allowed to happen, so tomorrow we must not just passively defend, we must seize every opportunity to take the initiative to attack. Ladies and gentlemen, the information about the Second Panzer Army has already been released. It has been in your hands for two days, let me tell you, where is the weakness of the army?"

"It should be logistical supplies," Lu Deyang said softly.

Jiang Tiezhang glanced at him approvingly, and said, "That's right, the weakness of the Germans is their logistics. Have you done any statistics? As far as we know, the Second Panzer Army has a total of 1847 tanks and 968 armored vehicles." vehicles, more than 4000 trucks, and more than 3000 motorcycles—how much fuel does a day consume with so many vehicles?”

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and Qiu Jiangcun said, "Boss, what do you mean we sneak attack on the German supply troops?"

"No, to be precise, it's the tanker troops that sneaked up on them."

"The oil tanker can be said to be the heart of the Second Panzer Army, and the Germans must protect it heavily."

"The tank truck itself is like a super bomb, so what if the Germans' protection measures are strict?"

When Jiang Tiezhang and his brothers were calculating the oil tank trucks of the Second Armored Army, Guderian seemed to have a telepathy, and he also thought of the biggest hidden danger of his own existence.

In a camping tent, Guderian was burying himself in drawing circles on a military map with a light bulb and a red and green pencil in his hand. "Why did the Chinese set up an ambush on Larbu Mountain? What is their real purpose? No, it will never be just to catch the [-]st Cavalry Division by surprise. I think the fundamental purpose of the Chinese is to delay our entire army. Advance speed, so that our blitzkrieg operation will go bankrupt. The Chinese commander knows how to use the terrain reasonably. If it is not a fait accompli, who would have thought that the Chinese would create a mudslide to attack the first cavalry division? We will take the Bug Highway. Of course, we can also take the southern route to go around. The distance of [-] kilometers is not a problem for us who can maintain a fully mechanized march. However, regardless of whether the First Cavalry Division must be rescued or not. Have you ever thought about it? Since the Chinese were able to set such an elaborate trap on Larbu Mountain, how could they not consider the southern route? If they really gave up the First Cavalry Division and went directly to the southern route? What is the biggest problem we face? The safety of the supply troops. If we really take the southern route, our queue will definitely be infinitely longer, so how can we ensure the safety of the tanker!" Guderian kept his hands and mouth.Schweppenburg soon became impatient with his chatter, and the latter interrupted: "Your Excellency, what is your final decision? Should we continue to take the Burger Highway or take the southern route?"

Guderian didn't answer his question right away, but buried himself in finishing the homework on the map, then threw away the pencil, raised his head and said, "Motil's troops will reach the front line of Larb Mountain in three hours. , do we still need to take the southern route?"

Hearing what he said, Schweppenburg couldn't help holding his head in pain and shouting: "But, what's the point of what you just said?"

"Look!" Guderian stepped aside so that Schweppenburg and the others could see clearly what he had just circled, and said, "Even if we don't take the southern route, we must also guard against the Chinese attacking us." Gentlemen, our opponents are very strong. Now I really understand the reason why the Chinese came all the way from Sabi to occupy Yanauer. The Chinese have found our real weakness! Yes Yes, full mechanization has greatly enhanced the maneuverability of our army, but at the same time it has also increased our dependence on logistical supplies. The places I specially marked are the areas that we must focus on. Seeing that I marked it with a green pencil Out of the area? I thought we could build a logistical supply base here."

"You mean that you are worried that the Chinese army in Yanaur City will come out and attack our logistics and transportation units?"

"Yes."

"But then we'll be able to take Yanauur."

"And then?" Guderian asked coldly, "Without fuel, what's the point of our Second Armored Army? Abandon all vehicles and go to Sabi on foot? Then wait to be crushed by Chinese tanks ?”

"But if you really do it according to your arrangement, how can this be a blitzkrieg?" Schweppenburg said.

Guderian was silent, and sighed for a long time: "Yes, I underestimated the enemy."

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, then looked at Guderian, and collectively closed their mouths.
