Chapter 344: Lure the Enemy Deep Into the Territory

Captain John thought for a few seconds and shook his head: "The enemy should be fighting in close combat, and the problem can be solved with Molotov cocktails. There is another strange thing, why didn't we receive their radio?"

The chief of staff of the battle group looked at the communications staff.

The communications staff immediately replied: "If our radio receiving antenna is still in the unfolded state, it may be received. But this morning, it was said that there were enemy heavy bombers coming to bomb, so we took away the unfolded antenna according to the air defense regulations.

"The battle group is nearly ten kilometers away from the vanguard led by Captain Hans. Without the antenna, it is very likely that they will not be able to receive their vehicle radio.

"Of course, it is also possible that their tanks are not generating enough electricity, resulting in insufficient output of the radio. Or simply malfunctioned. Yesterday they reported that they encountered heavy bombing by enemy aircraft, and they may have encountered it this morning."

The communications staff explained.

Captain John nodded.

Plossen attaches great importance to radio. There will be an electrical engineer and a communications engineer in the maintenance team attached to the armored company. They will work together to ensure the normal operation of the armored company's radio.

But these maintenance troops will not charge to the front line. When the armored company performs combat missions, these troops usually stay with the troops supplying fuel, and wait until the armored company stops before following the fuel truck.

And radios are easy to break down when encountering air raids and artillery bombardments, especially the antennas outside the tanks.

Captain John nodded: "The possibility of all failures caused by bombing does exist. Colonel Busey, we should take the initiative to attack. Whether the four new heavy tanks are destroyed or have a breakdown or break down, we should recover them. In this way, the Empire can modify the design plan based on the wreckage."

Colonel Busey stared at the map and said: "Let the motorized reconnaissance troops currently running to Yeisk turn around and see what the enemy chasing them is."

————

On Wang Zhong's side, he watched the technicians dismantle the captured tank tracks, clamp them one after another with tractors, and take them away.

At this time, the soldier carrying the radio shouted: "General! Khwarezm calls."

Wang Zhong took the walkie-talkie: "This is Luo-Genghis Khan, please speak."

"The enemy reconnaissance team that has been retreating suddenly turned around."

When Wang Zhong heard it, he immediately changed the perspective and quickly located the "Khwarezm" team, and found that they were being chased around by two Type 2 tanks and a group of half-track vehicles.

However, the reconnaissance team had received the Willys Jeep for four months and had a lot of experience in driving this kind of jeep. They led the Proson people to run around on the grassland without any casualties.

Wang Zhong read the memoirs of the mountain hunter machine gunner of the Earth Three Germans. The memoir mentioned that the American-made small jeep driven by the Russians (referring to the Willys Jeep) was very difficult to hit, and it often took hundreds of ammunition to destroy such a jeep.

And the MG42 must change the barrel after firing 400 rounds.

So experienced machine gunners will ignore these small jeeps and concentrate their firepower on trucks and half-track vehicles.

The current situation seemed to verify the words of the experienced mountain hunter machine gunner.

The jeep was dragging a broom behind it, and the smoke and dust it created was bigger than that of a tank. In this situation, even the elite Proson machine gunner could not hit the speeding jeep.

Wang Zhong: "Khwarazm, grandma will like it, repeat, grandma will like it."

This codeword meant that they should lead the enemy to the front of the ambush position.

"Khwarazm understands, Genghis Khan, look at us! Khwarazm is over."

Although the communication ended, the field of vision was still maintained for about 30 seconds. Wang Zhong kept watching them deal with Proson's machine guns and machine guns.

The Russian driver even opened the angle so that the vehicle-mounted machine gun had a range to shoot at the enemy.

Finally, the field of vision disappeared, and a layer of mist covered all these scenes.

Wang Zhong cut back the perspective and called another reconnaissance team with a walkie-talkie.

After the call was connected, Wang Zhong looked at their position. Wow, they were almost running to the outskirts of Yeisk.

Wang Zhong hurriedly ordered: "Termai, stop quickly, we are about to leave the radio range! Don't approach the city, repeat, don't approach the city."

"Termai received." While responding, Wang Zhong saw the convoy speeding on the grassland turn around.

Wang Zhong was relieved.

Plosen Army.

"What just chased us were some light vehicles. They may have dragged a harrow or something, creating a huge cloud of dust." The voice of the reconnaissance platoon leader came from the radio.

Colonel Busey scolded: "You reported that it was an enemy tank unit before!"

Platoon leader: "The intelligence we provided was wrong, Colonel."

In fact, they were also misled by the intelligence of friendly forces, but the platoon leader did not make up for his mistakes.

Colonel Busey's expression eased: "Very good, you bravely took responsibility and did not excuse yourself. You are a qualified soldier. Regarding this false report, write it in the report when you come back, and I will explain the situation to my superiors."

Explaining the situation means that he will help to put the blame on the first person who passed the wrong information that "100 tanks are encircling us."

Superiors like Colonel Busse generally have a good reputation among the soldiers.

The colonel looked up at John: "It seems that we have been completely deceived. The enemy should not have strong forces, so they want to deceive us. I think we should attack, seize this opportunity, take back the new tanks, and annihilate this daring enemy."

————

Wang Zhong: "The intelligence we seized and the aerial photos sent by the Air Force yesterday show that the enemy in Yeisk has only one battle group, consisting of an armored battalion and a grenadier battalion and attached troops, with less than 100 tanks.

"We can consider annihilating them. In order to lure the enemy, we can pretend to retreat before destroying the enemy's reconnaissance platoon, such as letting some vehicles create smoke and dust behind the ambush position, and then let some vehicles retreat in front of the enemy. "

Vassily: "Then the tank destroyer unit must deliberately leave a half-track vehicle or tank with an antenna."

Wang Zhong: "Just do it, you give the order."

Vassily was shocked: "I give the order myself?"

Wang Zhong: "Practice, think about how Pavlov split my combat intentions into specific instructions. "

Vasily thought about it and began to follow the chief of staff's approach, breaking down Wang Zhong's combat intentions into different orders and issuing them to each unit.

After Vasily finished, Wang Zhong praised him: "You already look like an experienced staff officer! If you practice more, I will promote you to colonel."

Vasily looked worried: "Then you will use my brain like Pavlov?"

Wang Zhong glanced at Vasily's thick hair: "It's still early!"

At this time, a call came from the radio: "Tarihutai calls Genghis Khan, we are meeting the enemy. "

Wang Zhong immediately adjusted his vision and saw that the vortex of the sniper team was shooting, the half-track vehicle carrying the accompanying infantry was fully loaded with soldiers and spoils and driving backwards, and there was a lone Willys Jeep behind the position creating smoke and dust.

Farther away, the vortex of the tiger-hunting team was rushing to join, also creating a lot of smoke and dust.

This made it look more like a long line of escape.

The vortex quickly wiped out Proson's reconnaissance platoon, leaving behind a half-track vehicle with a long antenna. Shells kept hitting them around, but It was just a little bit short of hitting.

Wang Zhong felt that the gunners of the sniper team were showing off their skills. It was reasonable to say that with such a high density of firepower, they would have hit the enemy by surprise. In the end, all the shells passed over the enemy's forehead.

Suddenly, the vortices gradually stopped firing, and Wang Zhong immediately realized that the troops were pretending to have finished firing.

It can only be said that some of Wang Zhong's very cheap tactical style has been passed on to his troops.

After the ceasefire, the sniper team's report came over the radio: "Genghis Khan, we have run out of ammunition, and one enemy has escaped."

Wang Zhong: "Got it, retreat. Genghis Khan is over."

————

"The enemy is going to run away." Colonel Busey stood up decisively after listening to the report, "We can't let them run away, let alone let them take the new tanks back. We will attack according to the original marching plan!"

Colonel Busey turned to Captain John: "Can we get support from heavy tanks?"

"The wheels are not installed yet." Captain John said seriously, "I can only wish you a happy hunting. "

He stood up and saluted Colonel Busey.

The colonel saluted back.

Wang Zhong's jeep unit first discovered the Proson army that came out of Yeisk.

When he received the report, he immediately changed the perspective, and as a result, he witnessed a car race on the grassland.

The Proson people sent a motorcycle team and a jeep team to race, trying to drive these guys running like hares away from the main marching column.

But it's not that easy! The Willys Jeep might be lighter than the Proson people's three-wheeled motorcycle, and the horsepower is not bad. It's not very useful on this kind of mudless grassland.

The Proson people's motorcycle team was like chasing flies. They drove away one and turned their heads to see another one approaching from the side.

The whole scene was like a car race in Mad Max. , replace the grassland with the desert Gobi, it is exactly the same!

Seeing that the jeep could not be driven away, the Proson people began to shoot with the MG34 on the motorcycle, but in this bumpy state, the target was still the Willys Jeep running wildly, how could it hit it!

The Willys Jeep's counterattack was basically "outlining", and both sides dodged as much as possible.

Wang Zhong thought that it was useless for you to fight like this. The most effective weapon in racing is pumpkin! Throw the pumpkin quickly!

As for the enemy's main team, a large number of Type 3 tanks were lined up in a single column, advancing at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour on the road.

The length of the marching column directly exceeded Wang Zhong's field of vision, that is, it was more than 2.5 kilometers long.

Seeing such a long marching column, Wang Zhong couldn't help but mutter: "Is this an armored battalion and a grenadier battalion? "

At this time, he suddenly saw the ambush position of the vortex in front.

Most of the vortex stopped on the hillside, and a shallow pit was dug to lower the already low height. The main body of the destroyer was blocked by the tall wheat field. Only the periscope sight and the commander's observation tower were higher than the wheat.

Wang Zhong suddenly discovered that the enemy convoy was heading towards the ambush position.

If this was a battleship confrontation at sea, this would be the legendary T-shaped formation, which is most suitable for exerting firepower and focusing fire to sink the enemy's leading warships one by one.

But this land battle does not require concentrated fire. As long as 100 guns penetrate the No. 3, there will be no survivors.

That is to say, it is impossible to quickly annihilate the enemy in this situation, and it will inevitably develop into a two-sided shooting!

And now the enemy is about to enter the field of vision of the ambush troops. It is too late to adjust, and the vulnerable side of the vortex may be exposed to the enemy.

We can only fight with it.

Wang Zhong blamed himself very much because he was so excited by watching "Crazy Maox".

However, the battalion commander of the vortex battalion is also not well-trained. I clearly taught that when ambushing, we should line up on the side of the enemy's marching column! I clearly taught it!

This battalion commander is back, I will put him in confinement and let him think it through!
