The Rise of the Empire

"The Fourth Assault Division will follow soon. Three bomber squadrons and two fighter squadrons will cooperate with you in the battle. After killing your current enemy troops, you can consider moving south and cooperate with other troops to encircle the Fifth Army!" Soon Lu Precht's telegram was sent back, and by this time, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. If Armored Mike could be faster, he could catch up with the Russians for lunch, and then Schmidt could catch up with them for dinner. .....

The huge First Assault Army and other attached troops began to form an attack formation. The long marching array began to spread its strong and powerful wings like a soaring eagle, and the eagle's most deadly claws were black forest brown bears. The battle group has rushed towards the Donetsk Division!

"Enemy attack! German armored vehicles!" The first-level scouts of the Russian division are still very discerning. At least they do not regard the armored units as cavalry. However, it is a pity that they still do not have enough warning time for the main force. Almost not long after the cavalry delivered the message, Mike's armored troops rushed over like an angry bear!

"Get ready for battle! Order the division's artillery to deploy quickly!" Under the order of the division commander, Major General Gross, the entire division began to quickly deploy defenses. After all, it was a standard Russian division. After losing an advance guard regiment, it still had nearly 18,000 people. The four infantry battalions at the front were closely packed together to form a thick defensive position composed of soldiers and infantry firepower.

"Crush them! The motorized infantry is ready to fight." This was Lieutenant Colonel Mike's first real battle. Although he had just crushed an opponent's regiment, he still couldn't stand it when they encountered real swords and guns. Will underestimate the Russians, who are known as Europe's steamroller. There are at least 4 battalions of troops on the front. If converted into numbers, it would be about 4,000! The huge number already means that this battle will be more troublesome!

The First Independent Armored Battalion formed two staggered attack formations, and the motorized infantry behind them also began to follow up, and began to drop the first batch of infantry units carrying the mortars 1,200 meters away from the opponent. The tactics of the entire Lancer battle group are not a rash one-stop rhythm. The Bavarian Rapid Legion's offensive gave full play to its firepower and mobility, organically combining armored units, long-range artillery, close support firepower, and infantry units. But this time, they can finally test it on the battlefield.

The 6 105MM self-propelled howitzers and 4 towed 150MM heavy howitzers responsible for long-range support have begun to rain bullets towards the Russian position in front, accompanied by bursts of red flames with a destructive atmosphere falling from the sky. Each one is huge. The plume of smoke covered the entire battlefield, and the hastily dug infantry bunkers were unable to withstand such artillery bombardment. Hundreds of Russian soldiers were killed by flying shrapnel and powerful blast waves before they even saw their opponents.

Soon, the dull sound of heavy artillery was joined by the slightly long chorus of mortars. The mortar troops deployed 1,200 meters away began to implement key designs with the targets marked in front of them in mind. At 800 meters, the second infantry squad carrying this machine gun got off the tank and moved to both sides to cover the upcoming armored grenadiers from the sides.

500 meters! The second row of tanks stopped and began to fire at the Russians' exposed machine gun positions with 40MM machine guns and 75MM artillery. As soon as the Russians' scattered machine guns fired a row of bullets, they were covered by several 2-pound shells. After the explosion, only pieces of meat and parts could be seen scattered on the ground. The first row of tanks continued to press towards the Russian position.

When the distance between the two parties approaches 300 meters,

A large number of soldiers got off the trucks and half-tracks. Thanks to the good fire suppression, the infantry units did not suffer any losses on the way out. The infantry squad launched an attack under the command of the squad leader, semi-automatic riflemen and grenades. The hand position was slightly behind, and the two teams carrying submachine guns in front launched the final assault under the cover of friendly forces!

At this time, the front of the entire assault group had been spread out. If he was facing a solid defense line, then Mike would try to shrink the offensive front and concentrate his efforts to open a gap. But now, facing the hastily constructed defense line and the Russian troops without any anti-armor units, he could safely expand his From the front, a slender lance was turned into a sharp axe, and it was swept across!

However, the intensity of this attack was not bad. Although the armored troops were dispersed, a large number of mortars and machine gun firepower were fully deployed! Especially after the trench cleaning team carrying submachine guns entered the fighting distance, the firepower of the infantry on both sides was completely one-sided!

Like a blizzard of 9MM bullets, the Russian soldiers rushed over. The fire net formed by hundreds of machine guns spitting deadly flames made the Russian soldiers who had never seen a submachine gun completely despair. Rows and rows of them. Soldiers were felled by bullets like wheat. The huge numerical advantage turned into a huge number of casualties at this moment. The attacking Russian infantry formation was instantly dented!

boom! boom! The Russian three-inch rapid-fire artillery deployed at the back also began to counterattack. Shells fell sporadically on the German offensive formation. However, this was of no use. They would soon be subject to various direct and indirect fire. Fire attack.

With a bang, Lieutenant Colonel Mike's head made close contact with the armor on the front of the tank. A 3-inch shell accurately hit the sloped armor of Mike's Hu Feng assault gun. The high-explosive shell exploded instantly. The car body shook. Then, two more artillery shells hit the tank one after another!

"Tell Blue Company! I'm under attack! Find that hateful guy!" As a command vehicle, Mike's tank does not have artillery. There was only a stick to camouflage, and the blue company next to it was its Guards. The two Iron Lancers next to it quickly found two 3-inch rapid-fire cannons that were firing continuously, a series of 2-pound shells and three 75-inch shells. The artillery position was instantly covered, and after a loud bang, the two artillery pieces, together with the gun crew and a machine gun nest next to it, were sent directly into the sky.

The sophisticated war machines composed of tanks, infantry and artillery quickly harvested the opponent's lives. The four battalions of Russian troops did not seem to be as strong as expected, and there were not that many. After clearing out the few three-inch rapid-fire cannons and large tanks, After some of the machine guns were fired, even if the rest were massacred, the battle quickly returned to the rhythm of one-sided killing. Fortunately, the Russian division was very large and would not make Mike and others feel bored.
