Imperial Overlord

"How much further ahead?" Looking at the map, Karius asked the motorcycle riders of the reconnaissance unit.

"3 kilometers ahead, the Tula Army has set up a defense line 1 kilometer in front of about 3,000 people and tanks." The motorcycle rider hung a gas mask bucket on his chest and pointed out his leather-gloved finger. Ahead, answered loudly.

The motorcyclists of the German army were all issued leather windbreakers with good materials. Even in today's eyes, this windbreaker is a good thing with a simple style.

Moreover, this windbreaker can be transformed into a one-piece thermal clothing by tying buttons, allowing motorcyclists to ride motorcycles conveniently.

Different from ordinary soldiers, German motorcycle soldiers are also equipped with goggles, and the style is also very fashionable. They are usually put on the helmet for easy use.

Karyus put down the map, raised his eyes and looked at Xuling who was in the distance, nodded and said, "We will stop at the reverse **** in a while, and I will take a look. what."

It is not that the information brought back by the motorcycle soldiers is not detailed enough, but that the situation of the battlefield may change at any time.

The reconnaissance troop is only responsible for early warning, as well as guiding the troop forward to detect the enemy's situation in advance. As for how to fight, it still depends on the decisions of the battle commanders.

The Soviet army did not know why, but when the sky was still falling with raindrops, they suddenly retreated.

Rokossovsky retreated after all, very wisely. His ulcer caught the Germans by surprise, and even the 3rd Panzer Division, which counterattacked, only intercepted about 10,000 Soviet soldiers.

The German army annihilated about 10,000 Soviet Red Army troops in the pocket formation, and then began the pursuit.

As a result, the Rokossovsky cluster escaped and retreated to Tula in one breath, only to be finally caught up by the Germans.

Relying on the city vowed that the Soviet army would not be so easy to be annihilated, and after a day and night of fierce battles, most of the German troops were a little tired.

Fighting back in the rain and traveling long distances to pursue the enemy was not an easy task, so Guderian did not immediately begin the siege of Tula.

On the other hand, he also had to count his own losses. The Germans lost dozens of tanks, and almost 1,000 people were killed, which is not a small number.

From the point of view of the battle damage ratio, the German army is still the victor, but from the analysis of the previous comparative figures, the Soviet army's counterattack was successful.

At least the Soviets took part of the German-occupied lands and lifted the siege of Tula. Most importantly, the Soviet army destroyed many Panther tanks, breaking the myth that the Panther tanks were invincible.

What's more, compared to the losses, the Soviet army lost much less than when it was defeated before, and the record achieved was also greater.

In the past, one of the biggest losses of the German tanks was due to wear and tear and paralysis of machine failures. This time, the combat losses exceeded the machine losses for the first time and became the highlight of the German losses.

But from a strategic point of view, Rokossovsky's counterattack was a failure, because he neither completed the task of repelling the German army nor relieved the pressure on Moscow's flank, which can be said to be a very failure.

Karjus will not analyze the gains and losses of Rokossovsky. What he wants to analyze is whether this time the German army surrounded Tula from both flanks and a larger tank battle will break out.

Rokossovsky still had hundreds of tanks ready for battle, and the Germans had hundreds more eager to get their revenge.

In order to secure Tula, Rokossovsky will inevitably devote his own strength to a decisive battle in the surrounding area, and in order to capture Tula, the German offensive will be launched as a matter of course.

In this case, the second tank war is very likely to occur. What Karyus has to do is to try his best to ensure that he can survive in such a decisive battle.

He climbed into his tank, the other Panther tanks beside him had already started their engines, and one after the other Panther tanks finished resting and began to move forward.

The turret flanks of these tanks are Germany's most famous iron cross. The black paint border is trimmed in white, and it looks solemn and lean.

Karjus pressed his arm on the **** of the vehicle-mounted machine gun in front of him, looking into the distance from the bumpy tank.

In front of him is the machine gun shield. Through this shield, he only has a little bit of vision that is not wide♀ It is a design to ensure the safety of him when operating the machine gun, but it affects some of his vision.

The loader William also naturally leaned on the tank cover, and there was also a machine gun in front of him. After the radio operator's heading machine gun is plugged, the two machine guns on the turret are the main suppressing firepower of the Panther tank.

"The 501st battalion didn't follow?" I don't know why, Karjus didn't communicate much with Wittmann that day~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They soon parted ways and returned to their respective stations.

Afterwards, the defensive battle on the rainy day allowed the two of them to be active on their own battlefields and became the biggest winners in the battle of Chirk.

The two of them destroyed 20 tanks and 17 tanks respectively on this day, which may not sound like much, but it is enough against the sky.

You must know that in the real historical time and space, Wittmann's record is only more than 150 tanks, which means that his victory in the rainy defense battle is equal to one-seventh of his total victory.

Karjus's victory is very controversial, but the victory of 17 tanks can definitely be regarded as his most fruitful day.

If the accumulation of such numbers continues, as long as these two people do not accidentally die in battle, maybe in a few months, they will set an astonishing record that they don't know yet.

"The loss of the 501st Battalion was quite large, so after the counterattack, their vacancy was filled by the 1st Armored Regiment of the 4th Armored Division." Radio operator Joseph sat in his seat bored and said to Karjus .

He now has no directional machine gun and can only see the slightly distorted landscape outside through a periscope.

In order to make the radio operator less bored, the atmosphere in the tank became slightly more lively.

Karjus will chat with this boring person, or teach him some experience in commanding tanks.

After all, I heard that in a few months, many Panther tank radio operators will be transferred out to take up the post of commander of the newly formed tank crew.

"At least, this time Wittmann is similar to our last time. His tank was destroyed, so for a while, there is no chance to add new records." Joseph thought for a while, and said somewhat gloatingly.
