I, who traveled to Chunwu, entered Stalingrad again?

"Can't I hear it from the tavern guests?" Realizing that he had slipped his mouth, Zaimoza used a lame excuse to fool him.

The German army has advanced to a distance of 500m from the Soviet army. "All fire!" Under the command of the commander, the Soviet army finally began to counterattack. First, the 312 or 7 anti-tank guns hidden on the No. 8 high ground fired one after another. The Tiger and Tiger P rushed to the front, and then the Soviet mortars, which had been silent for a period of time under the suppression of the German artillery fire, began to bombard the German infantry continuously. Finally, all the concealed machine gun fire points on the position opened fire, and the Soviet infantrymen They also shot together, and the German infantry was caught off guard for a while, and they couldn't hold their heads up.

Hans Fendersacker observed the successive flashes of fire on the Soviet positions, but before he could give an order, he felt a chilling force slam into their tanks a few times, and then his eyes When it was dark, he passed out.After a while he regained consciousness and found himself slumped on a chair, surrounded by silence, he saw the driver with a pale face and seemed to be yelling at him, but he couldn't hear anything, only the buzzing sound, as a body A veteran of many battles, he knew that he had tinnitus and temporary deafness.

After a while, he heard Walter yelling clearly: "The power is cut off in the car! Are we going to abandon the car, Captain?"

"Change the fuse, the Ivans failed to penetrate us, continue to attack!" After a while, the Henschel Tigers No. 114 and 113 moved again, and the Porsche Tigers No. 111 and 112 were not penetrated, but they continued to attack. The bombardment did not know what parts were damaged and they lay down in place, but they could continue to turn the turret and fire at the Soviet army.

"Retreat! They are not No. 4 tanks! Let the armored battalion withdraw!"

It was only then that the Soviet commander realized that although they were all square and square, the four guys in front of them were not any of the tanks listed in the identification manual of their own side. He could not be blamed for this. Who could have discovered this from a few kilometers away? .However, the order to counterattack has been issued. Unlike the German army, which is equipped with radios for every tank, only a few command vehicles of the Soviet army have radio stations, but the command vehicles have been destroyed in previous battles. In response, the Soviet armored force with more than 20 tanks had already drilled out of the woods behind the high ground, turned over several hills and rushed towards the right flank of the German army.

Operation Blue - Stalingrad: Chapter 39 Chapter 37 503 Armored Battalion and Tiger ([-])

苏军冲出来的装甲部队率先和德军右翼的三号坦克交上了火，他们拥有6辆t34-76作为绝对的主力冲在最前面，跟在后面的是10多辆t70或是bt7轻型坦克，最后则有6辆颇为奇葩的坦克压阵。

This kind of tank is like a brick with a cut corner, a 75mm main gun is installed on the right side of the tank's sloping armor instead of the turret, and there is a small turret on the hull that holds a 37mm gun, and its maneuverability is not fast. I can only follow behind slowly, which looks very funny.

"What is that, tank destroyer? Assault gun?" Zai Muzao was taken aback. Generally speaking, only tank destroyers and assault guns without turrets do this, such as the common German No. [-] assault gun or No. [-] assault gun. Cannons, and the later Cheetah and Tiger scrap iron Nan are all gadgets without turrets.

"That's the Yankee's M3 Grant tank. It's rubbish. We killed a lot of it in North Africa." It wasn't Friedheim who answered, but Schneider. I don't know when he brought himself Two of his followers also climbed into the pit, and 5 people came out of the small foxhole, which seemed a little crowded.

Then Cai Muzuo remembered, isn't this the famous coffin of the Seven Brothers?Not to mention that this thing has no turret, it can’t be used as a general tank destroyer, because its body is tall and difficult to conceal. If you want to attack, there is no turret. If you want to attack the flanks, you have to turn around first, but the armor is weak and pitiful.

The Yankees originally designed it as an infantry support weapon, but they did not expect that the armor tactics of wartime would develop so quickly, and it would be outdated as soon as it entered service.In addition to its own use, it assisted a batch of British in the North African battlefield, and later assisted a large number of Soviet Union, and Germany also captured and used it.But everyone's evaluation is: the British call it "bitch bastard", the Soviets call it "the iron coffin of the seven brothers", and the Germans call it "American iron garbage", and they give it to the national army in the Far East It can also be a treasure to abuse the neon bean chariot. Anyway, the M3 Grant did help the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union survive the most difficult period of time. It is better than nothing.

"Rang, Rang, move my machine gun." Schneider squeezed the wooden seat away, and then unceremoniously occupied the parapet that had just been erected by the wooden seat to shoot at the Soviet army.

"Let's go to Friedheim, and this guy will be loved by Mortar!"

"Thanks Hans! Go back and buy you coffee."

…………

The Soviet tank assault did catch the Germans by surprise at the beginning. The No. 3 N-types on the right wing of the German army were not opponents of the t34-76 at all. Three of the five No. 5s were destroyed. Fortunately, there were two cars The members of the group escaped successfully, and the other two vehicles also chose to retreat when they saw that the situation was not good.

"Get rid of those artillery pieces first!" Hans Fendersacker ignored the tanks. Regardless of the danger, he poked his head out of the vehicle again and directed his crew to take care of the Soviet anti-tank guns first.There are always some people who think that tanks can only count as real achievements if they kill local tanks.But on the contrary, experienced armored soldiers see anti-tank guns as a greater threat.These gadgets are usually relatively low and easy to conceal, so they are difficult to identify and hit. They can always attack the weaknesses of German tanks with good camouflage and terrain ambush.Not only him, but the No. 113 tank on the left wing and the No. [-] Tiger also began to bombard the Soviet anti-tank positions.

After the Soviet armored forces repelled the tanks on the right flank of the German army, they then launched an attack on the two Tiger Ps. The 34mm guns of the T76 and the 3mm guns of the M75 Grant kept hitting the front armor and the right armor of the Tiger P, but The front armor of the Tiger P is 200mm, and the side armor is also 80mm. Due to the impact of the shooting angle, it will only be thicker.The Soviet army couldn't penetrate at all. Instead, Tiger P's counterattack directly hit the two T34-76s into fireballs.Now the Soviet tankers also understood that they had encountered a difficult opponent.

"A new type of German tank!" Although the commander of the armored battalion also understood, this charge is destined to be a battle with no return. The Soviet T34-76 tank alone is no match for a German No. 3 or No. 4 tank. It has a great advantage, but it is often at a disadvantage when fighting in groups. Because of the lack of radio, only semaphore commands can be used between tanks, and because the T34 has only 4 crew members, the Soviet commander is also a part-time gunner. It is also impossible to look around like the German commander, so the Soviet army is obviously at a disadvantage in terms of command.

They can only choose to continue charging. On the one hand, the command vehicle is in the middle of the team and cannot convey orders to the front vehicle in time. On the other hand, retreating at this time is tantamount to exposing the weakest side armor to the enemy, and it will inevitably suffer heavy losses. There might be hope for a flank attack on a German tank.

It’s just that Lieutenant Colonel Post of the 503rd Heavy Armored Battalion sat on a command-type No. 3 tank and went to the battlefield to command. He immediately ordered the left-wing No. 113 tank to continue firing to suppress the enemy’s anti-tank guns. Two Henschels 114 and [-] The tiger-style rush to aid the right wing, which can quickly adjust the formation and mobilize troops to fight together, is the magic weapon for the German armored forces to win.

At the same time, the anti-tank guns deployed by the German infantry at the rear also began to fire on the Soviet army. The coffins of the Seven Brothers were the first to suffer bad luck.

"Turn right!! Stop! Turn the turret 30 degrees to the right, at 2 o'clock, the enemy t400 at 34m, loaded with armor-piercing shells, I wiped it, and missed it." Hans Fendersack continued to direct his vehicle crew to the Soviet army. The tank launched shelling, of course not every shot hit the target, but the loader worked very quickly, and soon loaded another armor-piercing shell. This time the gunner calculated the amount ahead and successfully opened a hole in the T34. There was no explosion or fire, and three Soviet tank members hurriedly climbed out of the escape cabin and the conning tower, and fled towards their own position.

The Soviet tanks quickly lost a t1-34 and half of the light tanks under the attack of the German army. The M76 Grant was completely wiped out. This thing runs slowly, has a large body and weak armor, and it is simply a perfect target. .

"What kind of monster is this? Let the combat engineers blow up these bastards! The infantry provide cover!" The Soviet commander did not expect the new German tanks to be so rough and thick that neither anti-tank guns nor tank attacks would be effective. , Now the plan can only count on the engineers and soldiers.

After a while, the infantry of a battalion of the Soviet army shouted Ulla and launched a charge. At the same time, the Soviet mortar and machine gun firepower no longer cared about the German artillery counterattack, and desperately opened fire on the German army to cover the infantry.

Operation Blue - Stalingrad: Chapter 40 Chapter 38 503 Armored Battalion and Tiger ([-])

The German army found that the Soviet army in front of them didn't know what medicine they had taken wrongly. Usually, they mostly advanced interspersed with the support of artillery fire, but this time, under the leadership of some guys holding red flags, they evolved into a long live charge.Within the field of vision of Zaimuza, hundreds of Slavs in khaki-colored Soviet military uniforms shouted from the depths of their souls with all their strength, and rushed out of the trenches frantically.

"ypa!!"

Although the infantry commanders of the various companies of the German army didn't quite understand what they were doing if they didn't rush out to die in a good defensive battle on the other side, it didn't prevent them from giving the order to fire. The sound of mg34 and mg42 tearing cloth sounded on all fronts of the German army, and the 2mm cannon of the No. 20 tank ruthlessly harvested the lives of Soviet soldiers.

There are more than a dozen veterans in the group charge. Some of them hold explosive packs and detonators in their hands. With the help of various bunkers and the cover of their comrades, they quickly approach the German tanks. When he was shot and fell down, the soldiers beside him would silently pick up his equipment and continue the unfinished mission.

Zai Muzao put a Soviet soldier on the front sight, but before he could shoot, the soldier was knocked down by a burst of machine gun bullets. Zai Muzao didn't intend to find out who took his head, and immediately retreated after firing a random shot. Returning to his new bunker, a small dirt bag he had reinforced with a sapper shovel, a bullet grazed his head.

"It looks like you were forced back too?" Friedheim was still in the same bunker with him, he was lying on the ground pressing bullets for his rifle, "Ivans seem to want to use explosives to kill the favorite of the Führer Son, charge and shoot recklessly."

Cai Muzuo didn't have time to answer him, he pulled the bolt and raised his head and fired at a Soviet soldier hiding by the bushes, no matter whether he was hit or not, he immediately retracted.

There are many opportunities to shoot, but there is only one life, and Zai Muzao has thoroughly implemented this principle.The Soviet army not only charged to death foolishly, the Soviet army at Position 312 desperately provided fire suppression for this charge, and some Soviet machine gunners with light machine guns also began to fire support after rushing into some bunkers. It won't bow its head until it runs out of bullets in the magazine.

In less than 5 minutes after the Soviet army launched the charge, they lost one-half of nearly 150 commandos. In addition, German artillery fire killed many Soviet firepower points that were unwilling to transfer.Such a loss made the Soviet commander's heart bleed. In just 5 minutes, his already incomplete infantry regiment lost one-fifth of its combat power and one-third of its heavy firepower. It was an astonishing battle loss. It also allowed them to successfully rush to within 200 meters of the Tiger tank.

The German heavy tanks also faced a difficult choice, whether to continue to deal with the armored units on the right wing that had been crippled, or to turn around and deal with the approaching infantry.The Soviet tanks on the right left several wreckages under successive blows, and they stopped firing at the Tigers, and turned their heads to focus on killing the anti-tank guns and German machine gun positions.

"Retreat! Let's retreat! Turn the turret to the right and use high-explosive shells to deal with the infantry in front! They don't have many T34s left! Those light tanks alone can't penetrate our side armor!" Hans Fendersacker commanded the Tiger 114 to start Reversing the car and trying to make the distance farther, there was no time to turn around slowly. The No. 113 Tiger turret also started to retreat after discovering the actions of its companions. The two Tiger turrets slowly turned to the enemy in front of them. .

As for the two lying Tiger Ps, the guy with the number 111 on one of them finally repaired the broken transmission and started to reverse slowly. Only the number 112 on the far right stayed where it was alone. .

It is really funny that the secret weapon of the German army, which was indomitable and majestic on the battlefield before, is now being frightened back again and again by some death squads with flesh and blood.

"All the No. [-] tanks and No. [-] tanks charge forward, contact General Shi Molin, and let the infantry launch a counter-charge!" Lieutenant Colonel Post continued to issue orders in the command type No. No matter how important it is, the head of state may not care much about the loss of infantry and tanks, because this is insignificant compared with the numbers reported by Halder every day.But if he knew that the Tiger tank he had placed high hopes on was actually defeated by a group of infantry in the first battle, then his good life would undoubtedly come. Enemy infantry can't make up for it either.

But no matter how fast the German army delivered the news, it was a bit late by the time the news was delivered to the grassroots infantry company.

On the right wing, because the Soviet armored forces successfully suppressed the German infantry in the bunker regardless of their losses, only the coaxial machine gun of the No. 112 Tiger P and another mg34 were unable to prevent the Soviet combat engineers from advancing from all directions. First of all, due to the problem of shooting range, it has various shooting blind spots. Secondly, the narrow observation port in the tank cannot see the movements of all the enemies in front. Finally, the combat engineers are the elite troops of the Soviet army. They are skilled in various tactical actions and coordination. When it sweeps to one side, the Soviet army in this direction will hide in various bunkers like moles, and the engineers in the other direction will start to move.However, the 88 gun, which is extremely powerful against armored troops, cannot exert its original power because of its slow turret rotation speed and the limitation of terrain depression angle.

To make matters worse, the machine gun jammed right after it flicked out desperately.

In the end, a middle-aged Soviet lieutenant rushed to the side of the Tiger P and ignited the fuze, and threw the explosive package on the rear engine roof of the No. 112 Tiger P. After a loud noise, the back of the No. 112 Tiger P was directly opened. With a big hole, the entire chariot began to burn. After a while, the fire spread to the ammunition rack, followed by a louder sound than before, which attracted the attention of everyone on the battlefield.

The black car body is still burning, but now there are two big holes in the Tiger P, because the poor Tiger P's head was directly blown into the sky, but after falling, it hit two Soviet soldiers hiding in the shallow pit Unlucky guy, it can be regarded as revenge.

"Get up! Charge! Are you going to hide in the bunker until you die?" Some German orderlies ran around the battlefield regardless of the danger, giving General Shi Molin's orders to the leading soldiers below.

So the good days of Zaimuza and the others hiding behind the bunker and shooting leisurely were over. Under the leadership of Lieutenant William, they rushed forward with cats on their waists. Although this order was not very friendly, it did make sense.Because the Soviet army found that the tiger's own firepower was not enough to suppress their advance, and its tall car would block the German shooting range behind, the Soviet commando began to consciously charge from the front of the tiger instead of the flanks.

Q group six two ① 7 seven one 6

Operation Blue - Stalingrad: Chapter 41 Chapter 39 503 Armored Battalion and Tiger ([-])

Infantry needs tanks to charge and clear the enemy's firepower, but at the same time, tanks also need infantry to provide cover to prevent enemy infantry from throwing some messy things such as explosives, Molotov cocktails, magnetic anti-tank grenades, etc. .

"Rush! Rush!" Sergeant Dougler kept shouting loudly on the battlefield, but the roar of artillery, the explosion of shells, and the roar of machine guns completely covered up the yelling of these sergeants. But when their leather boots kicked the soldiers' butts, the big soldiers understood the meaning of the above.

It is not easy to find any suitable bunkers on the Great Plains, so Zaimoza and the others, led by Lieutenant William, went to the back of Tiger 114 and used its huge body to cover their own shooting. Anyway, the enemy's anti-tank firepower has long been wiped out. It's all over the place, it's better than just standing there and shooting.

It was just that after the 88 gun fired, the No. 114 Tiger engine hummed, and then started to reverse. This time, it almost ran over the big soldiers behind. Fortunately, they didn't completely stick to the tank, rolling and crawling ran to the flank of the tank.

"Fuck your mother's bitch, can't you take a look when you reverse the car?" Several soldiers yelled, especially a recruit named Mu Le who scolded the most viciously.

However, the commander of No. 114, who poked his head out to command, turned a deaf ear to this and continued to command. Some soldiers who were angry wanted to shoot black guns at that time.

But this can’t be blamed on others. The Tiger tank doesn’t have a rear view mirror and doesn’t really need it. With a tonnage of 56 tons, even if there is a tree or a wall behind it, it can run over it.In addition, the tank soldiers wore earmuffs, and the battlefield was so noisy, so the fourth-class people scolded them for nothing.

"Depress the turret to aim at the big rock on the left, load high-explosive shells, and don't fire until I order it!" Hans Fendersack really doesn't know that someone behind him is greeting his female relatives, but even if he knows, he doesn't know. Time to take care of the little things of the infantry in the rear,

The Soviet engineers have rushed to the distance of less than 114 meters from the No. 50 tank, and now they are temporarily concealed with the help of a small ditch. The turret of the Tiger tank is driven by a hydraulic gearbox, and the gunner is controlled by an inclined pedal. It takes 60 seconds at the fastest to rotate a circle.This ensures maximum accuracy when aiming, and experienced gunners will be able to fire without fine-tuning at all after spinning.

This also caused the speed of the turret at close range to be unable to keep up with these flexible infantry at all. However, the experienced commander judged the enemy's movement route. This is the largest nearby bunker and the shortest route for the enemy to approach the tank, so He asked the gunner to aim at the enemy's position in advance, preparing to wait and see.

If the enemy continues to advance beyond here, the Tiger tank will only be more passive due to the terrain and depression angle.

However, at such a short distance, the exposed head on the tank command tower naturally attracted the attention of the Soviet soldiers. The two commandos immediately fired at the tiger-style command tower with the Bobosha in their hands, thanks to Hans. Fendersack spotted them ahead of time and hid in time.

Naturally, Bobosha couldn't penetrate the thick armor of the Tiger Type, and could only make a clanging sound, but some of the bullets hit the side armor of the Tiger Type and ricocheted, and then just moved to the side armor of the No. 114 Tiger Type. The infantry arrived at Big Mold.

The recruit named Mu Le just now was directly hit by a ricochet, and before he even had time to snort, he fell to the ground with blood streaming down his face.The soldiers next to them were startled. Caimuzuo and Xiaodeng hurriedly dragged Muller away from the Tiger tank, found a bush and squatted down.

"Müller? Are you okay? Say something?" Xiao Deng kept shaking Muller's body. Zaimuza took off his hat and found that the bullet had directly opened a hole in his head. This guy didn't like it because of the heat. Instead of wearing a helmet, he wears a field cap somewhat similar to a baseball cap, and now he's paying for it.

Although wearing a helmet may not necessarily save your life by blocking bullets, it is better than not wearing it.

"Leave him alone and let's move on."

Now the German infantry also began to exchange fire with the Soviet commandos, trying to prevent them from approaching the tanks.

The firepower of the Soviet Army’s Bobosha is far stronger than that of the German MP38/40 submachine guns, but the German Army is supported by tanks and suppressed by mg42 machine guns. More importantly, time is on the German side. They are not in a hurry, they are in a hurry It is the Soviet Army.

In the ravine, a lieutenant of the Soviet combat engineer watched his comrades around him continue to fall, knowing that they would only lose slowly if they went on like this. Anyway, they had no intention of going back alive after accepting this task, so they might as well fight now.

So he shouted: "Alexander! I count 3, 2, 1, and you throw grenades together! Valentin, Nikolai, you and I will rush over together!"

"3,2,1!"

"Grenade! Lie down!" Lieutenant William was the first to identify the thing thrown out by the Soviet army. He swooped and threw Fleidheim behind him to the ground. Timuzuo also found a small slope and lay down on the ground. He tightly covered his ears with his hands, praying in his heart that he would not be bombed.

After a few bangs, three Soviet soldiers rushed out of the position with two explosive packs and jumped straight on the rock. However, at this time, the lieutenant discovered that the Tiger 88 gun had already aimed at their target.

"Run!"

But after all, people couldn't run away from the shells. The No. 114 Tiger gunner reduced all the efforts, sacrifices, and hopes of the Soviet army to ashes. There was a rain of blood in the sky, and it scattered on the soldiers of both sides.

At this time, the 4 Panzer 2 tanks and the Panzer 88 on the left, together with a company of German infantry, also pressed over from the flanks. The high-speed small-caliber artillery suppressed the Soviet commandos even more than the Tiger 2 guns. powerful.Especially the bang bang gun of the No. [-] tank can continue to shoot and suppress the Soviet infantry, and ordinary bunkers like trees and small stones cannot provide cover for them.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Gray Hound Company began to counterattack, and the machine guns suppressed the remaining Soviet commandos in the ravine, immobilizing them. Immediately afterwards, Zaimuza and other infantrymen went up to retaliate with a round of grenades from the Soviet army. Finally, the German army with submachine guns jumped out first. Go into the ditch to clean up the last of the enemies.

The attack of the Soviet army on the left was a complete failure. The two Henschel Tigers were intact and some German infantry were lost, but the battle damage was still much better than that of the Soviet army.

And the only Tiger P left on the right wing was still entangled by the Soviet combat engineers after all, but this time they failed to blow it up, and the explosive package fell from the Tiger P, which only paralyzed the Tiger's tracks and stunned it. The members inside were killed, and the second attempt was repelled by the belated German infantry. This time the balance of victory was completely tilted towards the Germans.

Operation Blue - Stalingrad: Chapter 42 Chapter 40 Execution and reprieve

Tiger's first battle has achieved a very good record.At the cost of losing 3 No. 3 tanks, a Tiger P, overhauling a Tiger P, and less than a hundred infantry, the German army completely destroyed more than 20 tanks, seven or eight anti-tank guns, and ten tanks in an armored battalion of the Soviet Army. Several machine gun fire points also wiped out hundreds of Soviet soldiers in a battalion of commandos.

At this point, the Soviet army had no room for resistance. The intact two Henschel Tigers cooperated with infantry and other armored units, easily tearing apart the Soviet army's defense line.

The Tiger and No. 3 tanks are responsible for pulling out the firepower of the machine guns that pose a great threat to the infantry. The bumper guns of the No. 2 tank and the machine guns on the armored vehicles can tear any soldier who dares to charge into pieces. Several combat engineers walk ahead of the tanks Filling the trenches and clearing the mines, Zaimuza and the others were responsible for rushing into the trenches to clean up the battlefield at the end, and everything cooperated seamlessly.

Less than two hours after the Soviet army's gamble-style charge failed, the 61st Motorized Rifle Regiment completely captured the 312th highland, and less than one battalion of the Soviet army fled into Ust-Donetski in an attempt to make a final resistance. But a small town without the cover of a high ground is like a beautiful woman in light gauze who meets a carload of idiots on the subway and can only let the German army rub her to the ground.

The German army pulled the 150mm and 105mm heavy artillery of the division to the 312 highland, and bombarded the small town 3 kilometers away for a full 6 hours in the afternoon. Zai Muzao and the others looked at the artillery brothers with their upper arms bare on the high ground. While enjoying his own lunch and dinner, after eating dinner and digesting for a while, he slowly launched the final attack on Ust-Donetski before dusk.

The other directions of the town are rivers, and several civilian ships were also bombarded and sunk by artillery. If the Soviet army defended inside, there was no way out, but they were lambs to be slaughtered. There was no need for the German army to worry.

The only two reinforced concrete buildings in the town were bombarded and collapsed. Even the Soviet troops inside were buried in the rubble. Other houses were even less likely to withstand the bombardment. The German army easily drove straight into the town. Only sporadic gunfire sounded from time to time to indicate that there were still people in this land who resisted to the death.

After the war, the advance team of the 503rd Armored Battalion and the 16th Motorized Infantry Division parted ways, and Lieutenant Colonel Post and General Shi Molin submitted a report to the Supreme Command of the Wehrmacht respectively.

Lieutenant Colonel Post's report was biased towards the technical level, focusing on the analysis of the technical advantages and disadvantages of the Henschel Tiger and the Porsche Tiger, especially the description of the failure of the Porsche Tiger.Obviously, the firepower and defense of the two types of Tigers have been verified, and the ammunition load of 90 rounds also ensures the continuous combat capability of the Tigers, but the maneuverability is not satisfactory.In addition, he also proposed revisions to some designs based on the reports of various car groups.

In particular, Hans Fendersacker, the commander of the No. 114 Tiger tank, submitted a report that sprayed two full pages on the command tower of the Tiger tank. The obvious weakness of the Japanese tank, if the opponent is lucky enough to hit here, the upper body of the tank commander will be cut off along with it.Another anti-human design is that if the commander finds that there is danger and wants to retract into the tank, he must lean out half of his body to hold the handle of the hatch, and then close it.In this actual battle, he was forced into the tank halfway without closing the lid, and a grenade was almost thrown in.

General Shi Molin's report focused more on the tactical use of Tiger tanks.He thinks that it is better to produce more No. 34 tanks instead of laboriously producing Tigers, or simply imitate the enemy's T16 tanks. The 3th Motorized Infantry Division is still using No. 10 tanks.In this actual combat, the cross-country speed of the Tiger tank does not exceed 56 kilometers. The early engine and the weight of 10 tons make the Tiger's thrust-to-weight ratio only about 34, while the T19 has [-]. For ordinary armored divisions and motorized infantry divisions The Tiger probably couldn't keep up with their advancing speed.

After receiving two reports, the high command finally decided to mass-produce the Henschel Tiger, and the Porsche Tiger already produced will be converted into another Ferdinand tank destroyer.The armored battalion composed of Tiger tanks is also determined to be directly under the Supreme Command, and then temporarily allocated to some infantry units to coordinate defense or attack.Although many people criticize the Tiger for being flashy and a waste of resources, for a certain infantry company, the appearance of a Tiger can indeed greatly improve their combat morale.

…………

"I'm so stupid, really, I only knew that the 6th Army was going to Stalingrad and was wiped out. But I didn't know that the 4th Army was also going..."

Zaimokza stood in the crowd and muttered to himself because Captain Feiger had just read out the division's order.

"What? We are halfway there and now we want us to go back??" Hearing what the company commander, Captain Feigel said, the soldiers below were in an uproar. Although they didn't know how dangerous Stalingrad was, they heard that they were in vain After walking for so many days, I suddenly complained again and again.

After being separated from the 503rd Heavy Equipment Battalion, they followed the main force of the 16th Motorized Infantry Division and were marching towards the Caucasus. They ate a lot of smoke and dust. After walking for 5 days, their superiors sent a telegram to tell them: Please go back, please go to Stalinger Le direction to go.

"Silence! I haven't finished yet! The main force of the 4th Panzer Army will go to attack Stalingrad. At the same time, a partial division will keep the army's flank from Volgodontsk to Stavropol safe until the follow-up troops support arrives."

"Then what is this troop?"

"It's our 16th Motorized Infantry Division!"

Cai Muzuo's raised heart finally let go a little bit, although this is like the death penalty turned into a reprieve, and what should come will come sooner or later.

…………

Adolf’s operation has been questioned by scholars and netizens in later generations. He first decided to capture the Caucasus oil field, so he put the main force on the Caucasus, and even specially transferred the 6th Armored Army and the 40st Army from the 51th Army. Joined the 4th Panzer Army.As a result, there were only 14 divisions left in the Sixth Army, and Paulus, whose strength was greatly reduced, had to suspend the offensive, repair in situ and wait for reinforcements.

This gave the Stalingrad Front a certain respite. At this time, the Soviet Union continued to strengthen the strength of the Stalingrad garrison and reorganize the newly recruited troops. In addition to the original 62, 63, and 64 armies, Moscow also sent two infantry divisions. , a tank corps, four separate tank brigades and 337 aircraft support.

But on July 7.23, when the Caucasus War just started, Paulus, who was supplemented by reinforcements, also began to officially advance to Stalingrad. As a result, he encountered fierce resistance from the Soviet army during the attack, and even under the new commander Gordorf Under the command, he also launched a counterattack against the German army by virtue of its armor advantage. Although it was unsuccessful, it also made the German army realize that this was a difficult bone.

On July 7, Adolf decided to transfer the 30th Armored Army back from the Caucasus, which greatly reduced the strength of Army Group A attacking the Caucasus, and later the Caucasus could not be defeated.

The back-and-forth transfers cost the 4th Armored Army more than a whole week. This is a bit similar to the "5 minutes of fate" in the midway naval battle where bombs were exchanged for torpedoes, and torpedoes were exchanged for bombs. In the most critical battle, it usually doesn't matter A small detail may have had a huge impact on the direction of the entire war......
