Chapter 197 We finally saw Admiral Hult's troops

After a very brief period of thinking about this, General Hort immediately convened all his senior officers together to conduct an emergency combat meeting.

After a series of heated discussions, all of them came up with the current offensive characteristics of the Soviet army.

The First Soviet Army often used surprise troops to infiltrate troops, and accidentally caught the German army off guard, especially in the critical areas of the German army and artillery positions.

The Second Soviet Army used the large-scale artillery coverage they now have, and 24-hour uninterrupted air strikes day and night to continuously destroy German artillery units, logistics supplies transportation lines, storage labor warehouses and other important places.

In addition, the Soviet army often concentrated a certain amount of artillery fire to suddenly attack the German command center, constantly annihilated the German middle and high-level officers and command organs to destroy the German battlefield command system.

The reserves of the Third German Army were also constantly under the Soviet bombardment and the focus of air strikes and annihilation of targets.

The Fourth Soviet Army destroyed the German frontier traffic lines through continuous attacks and air strikes, prevented the German reserves from mobilizing and combating movements, and cut off the supply of all German military supplies.

The Fifth Soviet Army continued to launch large-scale armor warfare in depth to annihilate more German armored forces.

Faced with the current combat methods of the Soviet army, General Hort and his officers finally agreed to adopt the evasion tactics during World War I.

In other words, when the Soviet army launched a large-scale attack, the German troops would immediately give up all front-line positions and retreat more than 2,000 meters away, a stronger new defensive position.

The result of this was that the Soviet army had to stop again and sort out their troops and the direction of the attack.

At the same time, the German army's flexible defense tactics must be used more flexibly.

In fact, the elastic defense tactics are similar to the dodging tactics just now. That is, when the Soviet army attacked with all their might, the German army immediately retreated to the solid defensive positions in the rear to avoid the Soviet army's attack.

Then he organized a counterattack with the fastest action. Before the Soviet army could breathe and react, the German army immediately regained the position they had just lost with lightning speed.

In addition, General Hot also required their artillery positions to be transferred to their preset backup positions immediately before the Soviet artillery cover attack began, and the observation posts must also be transferred.

When the German artillery moved to these reserve positions with sufficient ammunition and complete radio equipment, their artillery troops were able to carry out artillery support operations for the German army on the front line at critical moments, or carry out retaliatory counterattacks against the Soviet army, and even play a key role in the tactical reserve.

Because only by allowing one's artillery troops to adopt flexible mobile operations can the German army be able to achieve victory and defend themselves in the flexible defense operations.

In addition, General Hote also specifically required each artillery position to build four to five spare positions, as well as three to four fake positions, to mislead the Soviet artillery fire cover attack and preserve the security of his own artillery positions.

In addition to these methods, General Hort also issued a death order, and never allowed German officers to enter the front line command before the Soviet artillery fire was covered. This was done to ensure the safety of the front line officers' lives.

In the end, in order to deal with the Soviet army's large-scale tank attack war, they deployed a large number of minefields and hundreds of thousands of anti-tank mines in the main position and the depths of more than 30 kilometers in the rear.

Because Admiral Hort not only used elastic defense tactics and avoidance tactics, but also carried out regional defense tactics together.

Therefore, in addition to building a large number of minefield areas, he also ordered all anti-tank troops of the division to be deployed to the rear of the main front, and the safest and advantageous attack position were occupied.

Of course, most of the artillery, medium-sized anti-tank guns, and 88mm anti-aircraft guns of the army group will be set up in the rear areas of various anti-tank obstacle positions, and the hidden tank trenches will be dug to hide these weapons in order to catch the Soviet army off guard when the Soviet tank group is invading, and a surprise victory will be taken by surprise.

Moreover, in order to make the defense tactics of this area more stable and avoid the Soviet army's breakthrough, General Hot also dispatched his few reserve teams to a critical position to prepare for the war when the situation is critical.

Moreover, these reserve teams were equipped with a lot of anti-tank guns and assault artillery. Even the 200 "steel-fist anti-tank rocket launchers" dispatched to General Hort before the battle started, and a large number of rockets were also prepared.

After General Hort made various defensive tactics in a calm manner, he and all his officers slowly breathed a sigh of relief and temporarily let go of their hearts.

"If we can get Model's tank troops or support troops from other army groups to support us now, then we will have a greater chance of winning! At least we can defend here for a few more days!"

After a sigh of relief, General Hort looked up and stared at the cloudless sky, muttering to himself.

At this time, Model's tank troops were also rushing to the road.

"Quick! Everyone move forward quickly! Don't slow down! Admiral Hort's 4th Armored Army Group is about to be unable to withstand it!"

The commander of the 47th Armored Army, General Lemelson, still sat in the same tank command vehicle with Staff Hahert, urging and commanding.

With his yelling, the entire 47th Equipment Armies Army had no objection and kept rushing to the road.

Of course, all the soldiers of the 23rd Infantry Army were also using all their physical strength to speed up the marching speed under the scolding of their commander General Johannesner.

As for the German troops dispatched from the 2nd Army Group, they marched without regrets with encouragement from Chief of Staff Hachert.

In fact, if their troops had not often encountered small-scale interceptions from the Soviet army in the middle, they would have approached General Hot's defensive position more quickly and carried out joint combat.

Unfortunately, they were not only often disturbed by Soviet troops and intercepted by tank troops, but also attacked by Soviet troops two hours ago by the Soviet troops' Haqiusha Rockets.

If the German aviation troops had not dispatched the Soviet Katyusha Rocket Team in time to bomb and attack, they would have probably not only fallen into a new battle, but also suffered a lot of casualties.

"Hey! I was so lucky just now! If our Air Force hadn't suddenly passed here, we would probably have trouble! The Soviet Katyusha rockets were really not easy to deal with!"

After urging his troops to continue to accelerate, General Lemelson's armored army suddenly turned around and overshadowed his adviser Hachult, who was beside him.

"Yes! So we must now arrive at General Hot as fast as possible to provide support! Otherwise, we and his 4th Armored Army Group will have great trouble!"

Staff Officer Hahelt said with a serious expression.

"Yeah! I understand!"

When he saw this, the armored Admiral Lemelson also responded with a serious expression.

Then he stopped talking nonsense, but urged his troops to move forward even louder.

"Here! We finally see General Hort's troops!"
Chapter completed!
