"The operations of Comrade Commander, 3rd Tank Army Corps and 4th Army Corps failed. They were jointly attacked by German 88th Armored Division, 882nd Mechanized Infantry Division and German Air Force. The tank force of 4th Tank Army Corps was completely lost, leaving only one Infantry Division. 3rd Tank Army Corps still has 30% of the tanks left." Western Front Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Malanjin reported.
Marshal Voroshilov's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. German military, one Armored Division and one Mechanized Infantry Division actually killed two of their tank armies. Although the two tank armies were not completely wiped out, the tank troops were almost completely lost. In the next battle, it will obviously not play a big role.
"Are the Germany people's Armored Forces really that powerful? In front of them, our tank troops have no power to fight back!" Marshal Voroshilov said.
"Comrade Commander, according to 3rd Tank Army Corps's report, our tanks, except the T-34 tank, are capable of attacking Germany's 'Mighty Tiger' tanks and 'Panther tank' ' Apart from the fact that the tanks pose a certain threat, the other tanks are no match for the Germany people's Tiger and Leopard tanks. But the number of T-34 tanks is too small and they are easily destroyed by the Germany people!" Lieutenant General Malanjin reported.
In fact, the reason why Russia was able to defeat Russia in another time and space was entirely due to the tactics of sea of tanks. The sea of tanks formed by tens of thousands of T-34 tanks, no matter how powerful Führer's 'Tiger Series' tanks and 'Panther Series' tanks are, they cannot withstand it! After all, although the Germany tank is powerful, the lack of production is a flaw. The Russian army used its quantitative advantage to crush Germany's qualitative advantage.
But this air force, Germany, does not lack resources, and at the same time, in the research of tanks, it has not embarked on a strange path in another time and space. This makes the production of Germany tanks very large. The 36 armies formed alone have more than 18,000 tanks. If you include spare replacement tanks, the number is even greater. In addition, Germany also sold many obsolete tanks to Protectorate and the armies of slave countries at low prices. This makes Armored Forces owned by Germany more powerful. You know, even the tanks eliminated by Germany are still very powerful, enough to compete with the T-34 tank, and even gain some advantages.
In addition, German Army and Infantry Division are generally equipped with assault guns and tank destroyers. Although the number is small, one Infantry Division only has a dozen assault guns and tank destroyers, but it is also a very powerful armored force. This makes the overall armor strength of German military completely superior to Russia. Even if Buru starts crazy troops and continues to produce T-34 tanks, it is already too late.
"I will call General Staff Headquarters and ask them to find a way to reinforce us with a batch of T-34 tanks! However, that will take time." Marshal Voroshilov said.
Now, what the Russian army lacks most is time. German military, who has already broken through their defense line, will definitely not stop like this. German Army Group B's six Armored Division and 12 Mechanized Infantry Division will be like sharp knives with the same handle, inserted into the heart of the Russian Western Front Army.
Facing German military's powerful Armored Forces, the Russian army simply couldn't resist it. I'm afraid there is only one final result, and that is that the entire defense line will be beaten to pieces under German offensive. The infantry of German military will follow Armored Forces, break through the Russian defense line, and destroy the Russian troops surrounded by Armored Forces.
"How are the other front troops doing?" Marshal Voroshilov asked.
Now Western Front is in a terrible state under the attack of German Army Group B. Marshal Voroshilov also has no time to care about other front troops. The reason why I ask this is because I want to know whether Western Front is the worst performer. If not, then he knew it. Even if you get reprimanded by Joseph, it won't be too serious.
"Comrade Commander, the situation in several other front armies is also very serious. The defense lines of the Northwest Front Army and the Southwest Front Army have been broken through. The German Army Group A and Army Group C are rapidly breaking through. The defense line of the Josephgrad Front Army has also been broken through, and the troops are shrinking towards Josephgrad. Obviously, They are preparing to defend Josephgrad. The Caucasus Front used the terrain to resist the German attack. However, it is difficult to say how long the Caucasus Front can withstand the heavy bombardment by the Germans. In short, the current situation is very unfavorable to us!
Marshal Voroshilov nodded. After learning that the performance of several other front armies was also very poor, his worried heart finally returned to his stomach. As the saying goes, the law does not punish the public. If Joseph wants to deal with the generals who performed unfavorably on the battlefield, wouldn't it mean that all the front army generals should be dealt with? In that case, the Russian army will fall into chaos, let alone resist German offensive.
German B Army Corps's Armored Division and Mechanized Infantry Division did not stop after breaking through the Russian defense line. After replenishing ammunition and fuel, the attack continued.
At this moment, Russian Western Front Army's defense line has been torn apart by more than a dozen gaps. A large number of German military infantry are pouring into the Russian defense line through these gaps.
At the same time, German military's Armored Division and Mechanized Infantry Division also began to intersperse. They used the powerful assault capability of Armored Forces to continuously break through the Russian defense line and divide the Russian army into pieces.
The group armies under the Russian Western Front Army's jurisdiction are constantly being divided and surrounded. The command of the troops has become chaotic, and superiors are no longer able to direct subordinates. Under such circumstances, the Russian army simply cannot resist German offensive.
"Your Excellency, Army Group B's five armies are all engaged in combat. However, our troops are still too few. Although Armored Forces and mechanization The troops have completed the penetration and surrounded many Russian troops. However, a lot of troops are needed to destroy these Russian troops, and our troops may not be enough!" said Lieutenant General Karl Hilpet.
Marshal Guderian thought for a while, and then said, "Let the army of the slave country go into battle! With so many people, it is impossible to use them all to protect supply lines and maintain public order!"
The other choices of Army Group Commander were the same as Marshal Guderian. In the case of insufficient troops, they also put the army of the slave country into the battle.
