Imperial Overlord

The possibility of being occupied by the Germans at any time means that the defense line there has been hammered, and there is no need to say more about the rest.

"The German troops on the front line are attacking, and our positions may change hands at any time... If they seize the previous positions, then where you are, is the position!" The commander of the tank unit, a regiment commander pointed away Added a sentence.

Then Khrushchev saw that there were Soviet soldiers entering the surrounding bunkers, and some soldiers looked at this side numbly with their weapons.

No wonder there are already simple bunkers in the woods, no wonder there are so many overwhelmed soldiers here, no wonder it is bombarded by the Germans...

It turned out that according to the habits of the Germans, they were afraid that there would be reinforcements of the Soviet front-line troops nearby, so they covered and shot here in an attempt to cut off the reinforcements of the Soviet Union.

It is a pity that the Soviet Union did not plan to reinforce that line of defense that had been in ruins, so most of the German artillery shells fell on the open space.

Even so, this round of shelling so close to Moscow has actually shocked Stalin's heart in Moscow.

"How long do you expect to hold on here?" Khrushchev did not hesitate, and directly asked about the topic he was most interested in.

The head of the tank regiment looked helplessly at the T-26 tanks under his command, shook his head and said, "Comrade... We can only hold on for about 3 hours at most."

"Three hours? You have trenches and forests for cover, so you can only hold on for three hours?" Khrushchev didn't believe his ears.

He thought that such a complete line of defense could be held for a day or even a few days anyway.

But he never imagined that after summoning great courage, the Soviet commander on the front line only promised a short defense limit of 3 hours.

Even if the Germans came over, it would take at least 10 minutes, right? Looking at the distant position, although the position itself cannot be seen, it can be seen that there is still thick smoke there.

"Comrade... Although we have built a position here, we have no anti-tank weapons and ammunition is very limited... In fact, we don't even have many soldiers, and three hours is the limit." The regiment commander complained bitterly. , said a series of disadvantages.

These questions made Khrushchev a little annoyed. He named at least 500 soldiers entering the position. If you count tanks and other troops, there are 80% of them there are 1,000 or even 1,500.

With such a scale, you still say that you have no manpower? So many tanks still say they don't have anti-tank weapons? What are you kidding?

"Don't you have so many tanks? Can't these tanks attack German tanks?" Khrushchev pointed to the T-26 tanks and asked.

Although he knew that the T-26 tank could not fight against the German Panther tanks, and even the No. 3 or No. 4 tanks could not resist head-on, but he also knew that this was something he could get his hands on, a better anti-tank equipment. .

At least this T-26 tank has a 45mm caliber tank gun! You must know that many troops can only rely on 14.5mm anti-tank rifles to fight the enemy!

"In addition, there are so many soldiers here, how can you say that there are no soldiers?" Khrushchev felt that it was necessary to popularize patriotism education among the front-line soldiers, so that they knew what a Red Army soldier is!

He felt that political propaganda work should be improved so that these soldiers should not be so passive and not underestimate their combat effectiveness.

But the regimental commander still had a bitter expression on his face, and continued to defend himself: "Uh...sir...comrade...although we have 2,000 soldiers, most of them are still children..."

The regimental commander pointed to many soldiers in ill-fitting military uniforms in the distance, shook his head and said, "These children have no fighting ability at all. They haven't fired a gun yet, and many have only a few bullets in their hands."

It would be a joke to ask such soldiers to fight against the powerful German Wehrmacht, or the fierce and tenacious German SS.

These civilians are often used to dumping their bullets on large targets covering enemy forces when the opposing forces charge.

In other words, they prefer to fire at larger tanks or armored vehicles, hitting precious bullets on steel plates that are simply impenetrable.

What is even more depressing is that the soldiers who opened fire on the enemy's armored vehicles and tanks were still good. Most of the civilians didn't even dare to fire their guns, and could only curl up in the trenches, waiting for the German soldiers who were attacked to slaughter them.

To expect them to stick to this position is simply a fantasy. The only troops that can really fight here are less than 300 veterans and more than 100 commanders.

Even these capable ones are not at the same level as the German elites on the opposite side.

To put it bluntly, as long as the German tank units on the two flanks flank the past, and then a battalion of German infantry attacks the front, 80% of the Soviet defenders here will completely collapse.

So after thinking about it, the Soviet leader gave a more reasonable time-three hours, which is almost the time for a round of tentative attacks by the German army and a round of main attacks.

"In addition..." Now that he had the opportunity to complain to his superiors, the regiment leader didn't care how much honor he would leave for Khrushchev.

While talking ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, he pointed to the camouflaged T-26 tank in the distance, and continued to complain: "You don't know, these tanks are basically useless now, to be honest, they are not as good as some anti-tank rifles it works……"

This is also true, because although the T-26 tank has a short-barreled anti-tank gun with a larger caliber and is more powerful, this weapon has a large target and cannot pose a threat to the German tank forces at all.

At a distance of more than 800 meters, the German tanks will open fire, destroying the thin-skinned T-26 tank.

Therefore, in terms of defensive warfare, it is better to hide the anti-tank rifle, which is easier to conceal, and ambushed on the flanks of the position, waiting for the German tank to leak out the flaws on the side and rear, and make a sneak attack.

In fact, this issue was mentioned in the summary reports of both sides of the war. The commanders of the German tank units were not afraid of the Soviet armored units armed with T-26 tanks, but even more hated the anti-tank infantry groups with their anti-tank rifles.

This is why the Soviet commander said he lacked anti-tank weapons: his troops had no serious anti-tank weapons, and the tanks would be destroyed by the Germans soon after the battle.
