    Although the tank troops scattered around the Soviet military camp with a radius of dozens of kilometers were fighting fiercely, they continued to pour tons and tons of ammunition onto the small groups of sneak attack troops cruising around the military camp.  However, there was peace in the military camp surrounded by thousands of tanks.

    The Soviet forward command headquarters, which was tightly protected by an entire guard regiment, and the commander-in-chief Lieutenant General McKees were suddenly attacked at the military camp, especially when the sound of intensive gunfire reached his ears.  With the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulders, he did have a trace of worry in his heart, but this worry only lasted for five minutes and disappeared.

    Because the firefight lasted just five minutes, a confident report from the tank division was sent to him.

    "The squadrons participating in the sneak attack all appeared in small groups and were not equipped with heavy weapons. The tank division has the ability to repel all the sneak attackers and make them pay a bloody price to ensure the safety of the entire military camp. Comrade Commander, please rest assured  ¡­¡±

    When Lieutenant General McKees began to slowly adapt to this noisy environment of gunfire and gunfire, he was about to fall asleep again.  A series of sharp and rapid whistles of artillery shells suddenly reached his ears, causing him to wake up suddenly from his dream.

    As a lieutenant general who rose from the rank of junior officer, Lieutenant General McKees is very familiar with this kind of whistling sound.  In Lieutenant General McKees' mind, such a rapid whistling sound could only be emitted by large-caliber heavy artillery shells.

    "The tank division's report clearly stated that it was only a small group of Wehrmacht troops that attacked the military camp. How could a small group of Wehrmacht troops be equipped with heavy artillery?"  What's more important is that such a dense whistling sound is definitely not produced by one or two cannonballs streaking across the sky.  Instead, dozens of artillery shells streaked across the sky at the same time

    Thinking of this, Lieutenant General McKees quickly sat up from the cot.

    Just as he was about to put on his military coat.  When he rushed to the nearby headquarters, a series of dull explosions had reached Lieutenant General McKees' ears from the surroundings of the military camp.

    "Why are these explosions so familiar" McKeis said to himself as he was putting a military coat on himself.

    at this time.  The curtain of the tent he was in was suddenly opened, and then the deputy chief of staff on duty rushed in with a look of horror on his face. He exclaimed loudly to McKees: "Comrade Commander, something happened The National Defense Force, the National Defense Force uses  Incendiary bombs launched an attack on our military camp"

    "Incendiary bombs" When he heard this word, McKees couldn't help but look away, and said to himself with a pale face: "It is indeed an incendiary bomb. I finally know why the sound of the explosion of the shell is so familiar. It is so familiar to ordinary people.  The shells are different¡­¡±

    After finishing speaking, he ordered to the deputy chief of staff in front of him: "Then what are you still doing? Immediately notify the heavy artillery division to launch a counterattack. We must immediately find and destroy the heavy artillery positions of the National Defense Forces. Otherwise, we will suffer certain losses under the incendiary bomb attack by the National Defense Forces."  It will be very disastrous. Don¡¯t forget the huge damage we caused to the Wehrmacht with napalm bombs during daytime battles"

    When the sound of the heavy artillery division's counterattack rang out in the center of the military camp, Lieutenant General McKees had already hurried into the headquarters.  A map marking the location of Wehrmacht artillery fire was also thrown in front of McKees.

    "Comrade Commander, according to the report, these three positions were hit by fire from a heavy artillery battalion of the National Defense Forces. Because the National Defense Forces artillery used incendiary bombs, the area under attack has turned into a sea of ??fire" Facing  McKees came in a hurry.  The chief of staff quickly reported.

    From the map, it can be seen that a heavy tank regiment is stationed at the three bombardment points without exception.  Therefore, McKeis, who was frowning, subconsciously thought: The purpose of this sudden artillery attack by the National Defense Forces must be to destroy the medium tanks in their hands.  because.  Judging from the two consecutive days of fighting, the National Defense Forces have no tanks that can compete with their own heavy tanks.

    A pair of sharp eyes quickly left the map.  He asked the chief of staff: "Have the three tank regiments under attack reported their losses? If nothing else happens. The purpose of the Wehrmacht's artillery attack is to weaken the strength of our army's tank troops"

    "Yes" the chief of staff affirmed.

    "The three tank regiments that were attacked lost a total of more than 40 heavy tanks. In addition, the remaining tank units after the attack quickly left the shelling area to avoid being attacked by incendiary bombs fired by the Wehrmacht artillery"

    "Fortunately, the loss was not big" Lieutenant General McKees said with lingering fear.

    Afterwards, he gave a decisive order to the chief of staff: "Immediately notify other tank regiments and quickly enter combat status. As soon as they are attacked by artillery fire from the National Defense Forces, they will be transferred. The National Defense Forces must not be given any chance to weaken the strength of our tank troops"

    "The last one is to contact the heavy artillery division. I will give him ten minutes. Within ten minutes, we must find"We will destroy the heavy artillery position of the Wehrmacht and destroy it, shattering the Wehrmacht's combat plan to weaken the strength of our tank force"

    In the view of Lieutenant General McKees, as long as his guess is correct, this arrangement can definitely defeat the National Defense Forces conspiracy at the minimum cost.  However, what he didn't expect was that what he saw and heard was an illusion created for him by the National Defense Forces.

    Just as he was sitting in the command room with confidence, waiting for the victory report from the front line, a sudden exclamation suddenly came from the mouth of the deputy chief of staff.  Looking in the direction of the sound, the deputy chief of staff was holding a field telephone microphone, listening to some report with a look of astonishment on his face.

    When the deputy chief of staff put down the telegram, he rushed directly to Lieutenant General McKees with a look of horror on his face and reported loudly: "Comrade Commander, you are wrong, we are all wrong. The purpose of the National Defense Force is not to weaken the strength of our tank force.  , but to cover their night attack troops as they invade our military camp"

    "The tank division defending on the outer front line reported that a mechanical assault team of more than one regiment, under the cover of the National Defense Forces' artillery fire, quickly broke through the gap in the defense line that the tank division opened due to the attack and poured into our military camp. At present, this  A mechanized commando team is clearing the way with more than 30 tanks, quickly heading towards our direction"

    After ten seconds of shock, Lieutenant General McKees woke up from the accident and asked loudly to the horrified Deputy Chief of Staff in front of him: "Where are our tank divisions? Are the hundreds of heavy tanks assigned to them by the front army  Are they all just decoration? Why not intercept and pursue them. Eliminate them"

    The deputy chief of staff quickly reported: "Report to Comrade Commander, the commander of the tank division reports: This commando team sent by the National Defense Force is all equipped with medium tanks. Even the infantry is carried by armored vehicles and transport vehicles. With the speed of our army's heavy tanks, it is basically  If you can't catch up with them, you can only stare"

    As soon as he finished speaking, two more frightening reports reached Lieutenant General McKees's ears.

    "Comrade Commander, the Second Tank Division of the Front Army reported that the National Defense Forces commandos, under the cover of artillery fire and tanks, have broken through our army's peripheral defense line, poured into the military camp, and are heading towards the location of the central command headquarters of the military camp"

    "Report to commander, report from the Third Tank Division. The National Defense Force commandos suddenly launched an attack on our military camp. They have broken into the military camp and are heading towards the location of the headquarters. Please ask the headquarters to move immediately to avoid the danger"

    Just when everyone's faces were covered with complex expressions such as panic and fear, Lieutenant General McKees, who was born at a grassroots level, calmed down and ordered sternly to his bewildered subordinates: "What are you doing standing still, Chief of Staff?  Immediately mark the direction of the enemy's attack on the mapComrade political commissar. Immediately organize the relevant comrades of the headquarters to move. In such chaotic circumstances, the headquarters must not be attacked, otherwise. The more than 100,000 troops in the vanguard will be  Completely buried here"

    Under the stern orders of Lieutenant General McKees, the tense command headquarters finally got back into operation.  At the same time, a map marking the attack direction of the three commandos of the National Defense Force was also sent to McKees by the chief of staff.

    After briefly recalling the layout of the military camp tonight.  McKees quickly turned his attention to the map in front of him and analyzed to the Chief of Staff: "Our military camp is tight on the outside and loose on the inside. Heavy tanks that can pose a threat to the Wehrmacht tanks are all arranged outside the barracks, plus the Wehrmacht commandos  The speed advantage. These heavy tanks cannot be relied on for the time being"

    ¡°And our opponent, the National Defense Force, obviously knew about our deployment, so they boldly ordered the commandos to swarm into the military camp. Without any threat, they used the powerful mobility and firepower of tanks and armored vehicles to massacre and injure our troops¡¯ effective forces.¡±

    The pale-faced Chief of Staff subconsciously asked, "Then, Comrade Commander, are we left with the fate of being passively beaten and massacred by the Wehrmacht commandos"

    "No, we still have a chance" Lieutenant General McKees answered affirmatively, and at the same time, a strong murderous aura quickly spread out from his whole body.

    Then, he ordered to the chief of staff who was already slightly panicked in front of him: "Immediately contact all combat units that can be contacted and quickly transfer to the tank division station around the military camp. As long as they transfer to the tank division station, there will be nothing the National Defense Force commandos can do."  us."

    "Not only that, after the ordinary infantry is transferred to the tank division station, the war situation will develop in a direction that is beneficial to us. Because the National Defense Forces that broke into our military camp have become a turtle in a urn, and we can eat it how we want to eat it."

    ¡°Where is the artillery, Comrade Commander, do you want to notify the artillery units to retreat together¡± the chief of staff asked rhetorically.

    "No" Lieutenant General McKees shook his head affirmatively and replied.

    ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about whether the artillery unit can bring firepower in a short time after receiving the order.?Withdraw the position and move to the tank division station.  Do you think the National Defense Forces assault troops still have the courage to continue attacking our artillery positions after learning that they are surrounded by us?  Unless these national defense forces have already adopted a fatal attitude and are not afraid of being dealt a devastating blow by our air force after dawn.  "

    "Besides, artillery is not ordinary infantry, and the hundreds of heavy artillery they are equipped with are not decorations. If the Wehrmacht commandos are really not afraid of death and attack the artillery positions, it is entirely possible that a salvo of hundreds of artillery can cause a fatal blow to the Wehrmacht commandos.  . Okay, go and get the order right away, be quick, the faster the time is, the smaller our losses will be."

    Hearing this, the fear in the chief of staff's heart finally calmed down, and with renewed confidence, he loudly assured: "Yes, Comrade Commander, I will contact the troops immediately to issue the order."

    The first commando team, led by Qian Guanglu, the head of the Guard Regiment directly under the Ninth Army, was under the cover of more than 30 tanks, forming a huge offensive formation with a frontal width of 500 meters, and was rapidly attacking the Soviet Army with an unstoppable momentum.  The Soviet forward command headquarters in the center of the military camp was crushed away.

    Throughout the entire offensive process, whether it was the Soviet Red Army in battalion or company size, or the lone Red Army with a frightened look on its face.  As long as they are within the shooting range of the 500-meter offensive formation, these Soviet Red Army troops will be beaten into a hornet's nest by the dense rain of bullets fired by the commandos.

    When the commando advanced 500 meters in the direction of the breach.  More than 2,000 Soviet Red Army soldiers have been killed by hundreds of commando machine guns.  Of course, this number is due to the continued advance of the commandos.  Still increasing.

    However, just as the commandos continued to break forward, the order from Lieutenant General McKees, the Soviet forward commander, had been transmitted to all Soviet battalion-level and above headquarters.

    Therefore, in the large Soviet military camp, both the troops that had been attacked and those that had not been attacked for the time being abandoned their baggage and moved to the tank troop garrison around the military camp.

    According to the pre-war combat plan, the three commandos were in the process of advancing.  The counterattacks we encounter will definitely become stronger and stronger, and we will encounter more and more Soviet Red Army troops.

    However, because of Lieutenant General McKees's transfer order, the First Commando, which once again charged forward 500 meters, could no longer see a living Soviet Red Army.  Looking around, in the large Soviet military camp, except for the empty tents, there was not even a single moving figure.

    "What's going on? Where have the tens of thousands of old men in the military camp gone? Why can't I see a single person? Are they all dead" Qian Guanglu, a guard regiment, stood at the lookout of an armored command vehicle.  He said to himself with a puzzled look on his face.

    The words just fell.  The voice of the communications soldier beside him reached Qian Guanglu's ears: "Regiment seat, the other two commando teams reported that the infantry in the Soviet military camp has been ordered to move to their tank troop camp, and the three commando teams of our army have become Soviet  The two regiment leaders asked: What should we do next? Should we immediately organize troops and firepower to open a breakthrough in the Soviet tank defense line? After all, the Soviet tank defense line has not yet been fully formed, and we still have a chance to break through.  .¡±

    Among the three commanders of the three commandos.  Qian Guanglu, the head of the guard regiment directly under the military headquarters, has the rank of senior colonel and is undoubtedly the top commander of the three commandos at this moment.

    Faced with the situation briefings and estimates sent by the other two commandos.  Qian Guanglu immediately fell into a difficult decision.

    Now carry out a breakout and retreat. While the Soviet Red Army's encirclement defense line has not yet been fully formed, there is definitely a chance to break out.  However, in this case, the purpose of tonight's night attack will not be achieved.

    "If a breakout is not carried out, given the current situation of the Soviet military camp, unless you lose your mind and order the troops to attack the Soviet tank division station, you will not be able to achieve any results in the empty Soviet military camp.  More importantly, once the Soviet tank troops surrounding the military camp complete the encirclement, they will lose their best chance to break out.  As long as the Soviet Red Army can besiege itself until daylight, it will suffer a devastating blow from the Soviet Air Force.

    How can we not only break through the encirclement circle that the Soviet Red Army is about to form, but also achieve the purpose of this night attack and deal a devastating blow to the Soviet Red Army

    This is the only question that Qian Guanglu is thinking about at this moment.

    At this moment, the orange-red fireballs that erupted from time to time about one kilometer away from the commando's location suddenly attracted Qian Guanglu's attention.

    "Artillery yes, that's artillery. As long as we can capture Lao Maozi's artillery, with the hundreds of heavy artillery equipped by Lao Maozi's artillery, we can open a gap for the commandos in the Soviet encirclement defense line even with artillery shells.  When the time comes, if I find a way to destroy the hundreds of heavy artillery equipped by Lao Maozi before I leave, then in the next battle, Lao Maozi will lose the advantage of heavy artillery." Suddenly came to mind.Captain Qian Guanglu said to himself excitedly when he had a glimmer of inspiration.

    Then, he was so excited that he directly ordered to the communication soldiers behind him: "Xiao Wang, contact the other two regiment commanders immediately. My opinion is to immediately concentrate the strength of the three commandos to capture the Soviet heavy artillery position. As long as we capture the Soviet heavy artillery position  , we will have the opportunity to break out of the encirclement and use the captured heavy artillery to kill a large number of Soviet troops"

    While Qian Guanglu was waiting, in less than half a minute, the communications corps received affirmative answers from the other two regiment commanders.

    Therefore, the three commandos with huge attack formations were like three large rollers, trying to crush the Soviet artillery positions from three different directions.

    Although Lao Maozi's artillerymen tried to intercept with artillery fire, in front of the three rapidly advancing commandos, the whizzing shells could not keep up with the assault speed of the commandos.  By the time a round of artillery shells fired by the Soviet artillery troops roared to the ground and exploded, the rapidly advancing commandos had already left the shelling area and were getting closer and closer to their artillery positions.

    More importantly, heavy artillery is not an ordinary small-caliber artillery.  Ordinary small-caliber artillery can shoot at close range, but large-caliber heavy artillery has a certain distance from the dead zone due to shooting angles and other reasons.  It can be said that when the three commandos approached the Soviet heavy artillery position for one kilometer from three different directions, they had entered the blind spot of the Soviet heavy artillery.

    ¡°Ta-ta-ta-taboom-boom-boom¡± The roar of tank guns, the roar of vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns and general-purpose machine guns were like a beautiful battlefield symphony, quickly ringing around the Soviet heavy artillery positions.

    Under such a dense three-dimensional attack of bullets and artillery shells, the Soviet artillery, which was almost unequipped with light infantry weapons, was like a living target, shot directly and fell next to their most beloved artillery.
