The German troops who were fighting a mechanized infantry regiment finally regained their morale when they saw their reinforcements arriving. It seemed that the machine guns were firing more vigorously.
Every tank in the mechanized infantry regiment has an inter-vehicle communication system. The soldiers received the order to retreat almost at the same time. Almost all tanks, braving the fire of German machine guns, began to turn around and prepare to retreat.
The retreat direction of the soldiers is the defense area of ??the 1st Group Army. As long as they enter the defense area of ??the 1st Group Army, they will be completely safe. These German tanks will never dare to pursue the defense area of ??the 1st Group Army.
Although the German army that was fighting the soldiers still had sixty or seventy half-track tanks, the main weapons of these tanks were 7.92mm machine guns, and there was no way to prevent the soldiers from retreating.
Seeing that the mechanized infantry regiment was retreating, the German tanks that came for reinforcements, especially the tanks, also increased their speed to the maximum and rushed over at high speed.
The German tanks were not slow, but the mechanized infantry regiment was faster. The distance between the two sides gradually became larger and wider. The Germans chased for several kilometers and saw the Chinese tank group gradually moving away, so they had no choice but to return.
Going forward is to be close to the defense zone of the 1st Army. These Germans can only return and watch the Zhong ** team grow up.
The German tanks and half-track tanks returned to the area where they had just fought not long after. The German army looked at the tanks that had been destroyed by the squadrons on the battlefield. Many German officers and many German soldiers I don't feel good at all.
¡°In the contest with the Chinese ** team just now, I undoubtedly suffered another disastrous defeat. On the battlefield, the wreckage of German tanks one after another is a good illustration.
The dozens of tanks and hundreds of half-tracks that the German army came for reinforcements were infantry fighting vehicles. The purpose was to annihilate the tank group of the Chinese ** Corps. Another more important purpose was to destroy the artillery group of the Chinese ** Corps.
¡°Just now, the rocket launcher regiment dealt a fatal blow to the German heavy artillery group. The German army wanted revenge, so it sent out almost all its tanks. A large number of half-track tanks.
In the eyes of the German army. The Chinese unit that just fired a large number of artillery shells at its heavy artillery group position is undoubtedly a heavy artillery group. Although it is not known what kind of mysterious weapons this squadron is equipped with, it has fired so many shells in such a short period of time. Cannonballs.
In the eyes of the German army. Since it is a heavy artillery group. It's definitely not too late to go far. One of the purposes of sending so many combat vehicles, including a large number of tanks, was to take revenge. Destroy the heavy artillery group of this squadron.
However, the German army's plan failed. The rocket launcher regiment had already left, and the Chinese tank group that was fighting the German army also left under his eyes.

1st Army Headquarters.
Various situations on the front line have been summarized here in a very timely manner. Many staff officers and commanders are busy. Soldiers are coming in and out of the headquarters.
In the command hall, Wang Haiyang was giving orders to bombard the Germans. The 1st Group Army's first wave of attacks on the Germans was the bombardment of heavy artillery groups. The second wave of attacks would be a large number of tanks, leading the soldiers to launch a large-scale attack. charge.
Now, almost all the 100 mm heavy artillery of the German troops stationed near the small town of Gary have been destroyed instantly, and the heavy artillery group of the 1st Army can fire with confidence.
nine in the morning.
With everything ready, several heavy artillery groups of the 1st Army roared together. More than two hundred heavy artillery pieces began to launch a large-scale terrorist bombardment against the German army.
The 1st Group Army is equipped with a heavy artillery brigade equipped with 72 155mm howitzers, and each of the three infantry divisions has an artillery regiment, each artillery regiment equipped with 60 155mm self-propelled howitzers.
The two artillery regiments of the heavy artillery brigade and the three artillery regiments of the three infantry divisions, a total of five artillery regiments and five heavy artillery groups, took the lead in launching artillery attacks on the Germans.
Almost at the same time, at least five defensive positions of the German army came under artillery fire. The overwhelming and fierce artillery fire roared in. The German army never expected that the artillery fire of the 1st Group Army came so quickly and so violently.
The small town of Gary, the German command headquarters.
Hearing the fierce shelling outside, several senior German officers turned a little pale. These German commanders knew that the Chinese *** team was attacking them.
Sure enough, a German officer soon came in to report. After listening to the report, these German officers looked at each other and saw the solemnity in each other's eyes. After some discussion, they immediately began to call for help.
With more than 10,000 German troops and no heavy artillery or air support, it is simply impossible to hold this place. These senior German officers naturally know this.
??In the North African battlefield, German aircraft were continuously hit by squadrons and hundreds of aircraft were shot down. There were not many German aircraft left, and these German aircraft did not dare to come out to fight anymore.
*********
Inside the city, high-level German troops were urgently calling for help. Outside the city, the German positions were being violently attacked.
A few kilometers outside the city, the German army built many positions, and a large number of combat anti-aircraft guns were deployed on the positions, including a large number of 37 mm combat anti-aircraft guns and 50 mm combat anti-aircraft guns.
Even some 88mm anti-aircraft guns were deployed on the German positions. The excellent anti-tank capabilities of the 88mm anti-aircraft guns were used by the Germans to deal with the tank groups of the Chinese Army.
On the German positions, various small-caliber artillery, such as mountain artillery, infantry artillery, mortars, etc., were also deployed.
These German troops knew that the Chinese ** Corps was equipped with a large number of tanks. The German army deployed so many artillery and anti-tank guns on the forward positions outside the city in order to deal with the Chinese ** Corps' tank group.
However, the German army's plan basically failed again. The Chinese ** team did not first dispatch a large-scale tank charge, but used a large number of heavy artillery.
West of the city.
This is a Gobi desert. Stones, gravel, and some low drought-tolerant plants can be seen everywhere on the ground. Thousands of German troops have built a huge position here. On the position, there are trenches one after another, and firepower points built with sandbags everywhere. Even artillery pieces, especially a large number of combat anti-aircraft guns, can be seen everywhere.
In such a position, even if the 1st Group Army dispatches a large number of tanks and leads the soldiers to attack, the losses will probably not be small. These German anti-tank guns pose a great threat to Chinese tanks.
However, now, this German position is under fierce shelling. About six or seven kilometers away from here, on a huge artillery position of the 1st Army, a total of 60 105mm howitzers are pouring shells here.
"Boom, boom, boom"
Artillery shells rang out densely on the German positions. Every time the artillery shell exploded, sand and rocks flew everywhere, mixed with many broken limbs and broken arms of the German army. It seemed that the German army suffered heavy losses.
With a loud "boom", an artillery shell exploded next to a 37mm anti-tank gun on the German position. Several German artillerymen around the anti-tank gun were blown away directly. A crater several meters wide appeared at the explosion point. This combat anti-cannon was also directly destroyed by the bombing.
On this German position, a small mortar position consisting of four mortars also suffered a fatal hit from a shell.
This shell exploded in the center of this small mortar position. With a loud "boom", the mortars that had been set up were blown far away, and several boxes of mortar shells on the position were also blown away. An explosion occurred, and a dozen German soldiers nearby were also killed.
On the German position, there were not only various artillery pieces, but also many vehicles, including some cars and some tanks.
Many cars and tanks were turned into piles of scrap metal by the violent explosions.
In the distance, a large truck was hit by a 105mm artillery shell. With a loud "bang", the car was completely disintegrated. After the explosion, only a pile of wreckage with thick smoke was left at the scene.
In addition, almost at the same time, not far from the truck, a half-track armored transport vehicle was also hit by a shell. After a "boom" explosion, the armored vehicle was completely deformed, and all the German soldiers inside were bombed alive. die.
In the distance, less than two or three kilometers away from here, a large number of soldiers of the 1st Group Army were ready for battle and were waiting for the shelling to end.
At present, the units of the 1st Group Army have entered the designated position. On the periphery of the German position, a few kilometers away from the German position, everyone is ready. When the time for the general attack arrives, the soldiers will launch a large-scale attack.
The soldiers two or three kilometers away from the German position were a tank regiment and two infantry regiments. Hundreds of tanks from the tank regiment were lined up on the Gobi. Behind the tank group were a large number of tanks. Soldiers holding weapons and preparing to attack with these tanks.
This German position was being bombarded fiercely, and the soldiers watched with interest. Some commanders also held their own binoculars and looked at the German position in the distance filled with smoke and rumbling artillery with joy.
Seeing how powerful their artillery was, the officers and soldiers watching cheered from time to time, especially the commanders and comrades holding telescopes, who could see more clearly and couldn't forget the wonderful things they saw. Say it well.
Some soldiers without telescopes also stretched their necks and stared into the distance. In the distance, there was a large-scale shelling. The scene was very spectacular.
The shelling continues, the soldiers are ready to attack, and now they have a rare free time, and everyone is enjoying it with relish.
