Chapter 1119: Ninth Mechanized Army

The first day of the German invasion of the Soviet Union, it just passed.
The German Legion that came out of the Brest Fortress maimed and surrounded the 14th Mechanized Army of the Soviets.
During the day, the tank unit of the 14th Mechanized Army and the German tank unit also fought fiercely, and killed a few German tanks in the battle, but it was useless.
At noon, under the attack of the German attack aircraft overhead and the surrounding German tanks, the 14th Mechanized Army ushered in their moment of destruction.
Tanks are on fire and burning, and Soviet soldiers are fighting bravely. Unfortunately, they have no chance of winning. They are no better than quantity, no better than Germany, and no better than Germany than quality.
By night, they had only a dozen tanks left, and at the same time, their infantry was surrounded by the German army.
At this time, the Soviet army had already realized what was wrong, and the commander of the army, Major General Oberlin, said to his deputy: "Quickly, call for our reinforcements!"
When the order was received, his troops were closer to the front line and caught up. At the same time, he also knew that behind him, there must be other troops advancing in the direction of the Brest Fortress. Now, if he wants to get rid of the danger of being surrounded, he must notify the military area and notify the troops behind to clear the siege.
"General, our radio has been strongly interfered and we cannot effectively communicate with the rear." said the deputy.
The radio in this era only uses on-off to indicate the signal. Even in this way, Germany has not let go, and implemented strong radio interference, which completely failed their radio communication.
"It seems that we can only send people out, find some cavalry, take advantage of the night, rush out of the encirclement, and report to the rear." Major General Oberlin was worried.
Communication with signal soldiers is still the main method of this era. If reinforcements are still not available now, I am afraid that our troops are at risk of being wiped out.
At this moment, a bright light appeared again in the distance, it was the flame of the opponent's muzzle, and a new round of shelling began. It seems that the Germans are going to besiege overnight!
The 14th Mechanized Army had more than 30,000 men, but actually 18,000. On the first day of the war, this mechanized army disappeared in the middle of the night.
At this time, the 9th Mechanized Army on the other front was advancing hard.
"Quick, quick, speed up, we are going to block the German attack!" At this time, the 9th Mechanized Army was on its way frantically.
As a mechanized army of the Soviets, the 9th Corps is composed of the 20th and 35th Tank Divisions, the 131st Mechanized Division, and the 32nd Mechanized Regiment, with more than 30,000 men.
In the daytime, in order to speed up, the commander General Rokosovsky asked the tank division to advance, leaving the mechanized division behind.
This day of the mechanized division is simply spent on the run, carrying his own weapons all the way, not to mention those who carry heavy machine guns, those soldiers carrying ordinary rifles, the grenades on the eggs, also smashed their butts. It hurts.
However, there is no intention to stop at all. They have advanced 100 kilometers on this day.
This speed seems to be nothing in later generations. If there is a car, it would be an hour, but now, for a complete march on foot, this 100 kilometers is definitely a terrible distance.
In a normal walking march, thirty kilometers a day is already the absolute limit.
At night, the 131st Mechanized Division was completely unable to move. Even if there was a military order, the soldiers were lying in the mud, gasping for breath.
In the tank division, there are also a large number of infantry. They are not bad and can advance on the tank, but unfortunately, after they have advanced more than 200 kilometers, they have to stop. Their fuel It will run out soon.
The 20th Tank Division, the division commander Colonel Katukov was ill and did not lead the unit. It was led by the deputy commander Chernyaev.
At this time, he was sitting next to a T-34 tank and was discussing with his commanders.
"We now have to figure out where the Germans' main force is." Alexander, the commander of the subordinate tank regiment, said: "Now, the situation on the front is too chaotic."
Everything is extremely chaotic. Although they are advancing, they don't know where the Germans' main force is. If they drive with a black eye, it is easy to hit the Germans' main force.
Although they were ordered to block the main German forces, at this time, they must know the opposite situation.
The German tank troops are very powerful.
"Anyway, now we can't move~EbookFREE.me~ we simply send our scouts to investigate twenty kilometers ahead of us." Chernyayev said.
Their fuel car is still far behind. Before the fuel car arrives, they have almost no possibility of continuing to move, so they should also investigate.
Two years ago, Chernyayev was only a company commander, and he was also a company commander of an infantry company. He was similarly inexperienced.
When the tank troops were advancing, they had to arrange a large number of scouts in front. Only at this time did they remember that they would use scouts to investigate the opposite side.
At this time, just outside their temporary station, German scouts were looking at this place.
In the first few wars, the scouts of the German armored forces used motorcycles, which were small and light, with good off-road performance.
Later, as the equipment continued to be updated, the scouts were finally replaced with wheeled infantry fighting vehicles. The advantage of this type of infantry fighting vehicle is that it runs more steadily and carries more weapons, such as recoilless guns. After the opponent's tank, he can make a counterattack.
After several wars, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles also showed fatigue. The new general-purpose crawler chassis infantry fighting vehicles began to equip troops in large numbers.
However, after all, a large number of original wheeled infantry fighting vehicles are still in service and cannot be eliminated in this way, so this chassis is still the main one.
The current scouts are driving this 88 all-wheel-drive SdKfz232 heavy armored vehicle, and they have been driven outside the Soviet armored unit’s garrison, using night vision goggles to look at their queue.
"A large number of Soviet tank troops are found, and they are resting. Report to our troops!" the scout shouted excitedly. ()
