With an absolute upper hand strategically, the Ming Dynasty King's Division had never had a brigade-level commander take the lead in running away, let alone a corps-level general.
Therefore, Wu Weiming knew that he must not set such a precedent. Then the commander-in-chief might sacrifice his own flag first, and he would ultimately be responsible for the path he ran.
Withstanding the enemy's fierce attack this time, at least the merits and demerits can be offset, otherwise we can only pray to God...
"Mad! On our left! Turn quickly!"
Ding Datou's crew, belonging to the third platoon of the reconnaissance battalion of the Second Army, suddenly spotted an enemy tank passing by in the smoke.
As the commander of the vehicle, Ding Datou hurriedly asked the driver Feng Pegasus to turn, fearing that the other party would suddenly discover this situation and turn the turret to shoot the butt of his vehicle.
It is not that the crew has not received training for this kind of blinding style of fighting with mixed smoke, but actual combat is much more exciting than training. Feng Feima was so nervous that he sweated his hands.
What they drive is just a thin-skinned and large Panzer 7 tank. If you switch to a Panzer 8 tank, you don't have to be afraid. If you drive a Panzer 9 tank, you can be invincible.
But that idea is just a daydream. The most powerful No. 9 tank can only be equipped with the most elite troops, and the reconnaissance battalion can only use No. 7 tanks to make do.
Light tanks also have the advantage of being flexible and maneuverable, making it easier to turn even while traveling.
Ding Datou's "Beauty" immediately began to turn, and at the same time, the turret was pointed at the prey in advance.
What horrified the crew was that the other party had obviously seen the scene just now.
Otherwise, the enemy tanks would not rotate the turret in unison, and the purpose is already obvious.
"Aim for the rear butt! Put it!"
The distance between the two tanks is less than ten meters. It is difficult to miss them if they are so close.
The gunner and loader, Dai Yuanyun, visually calculated the advance amount, and fired a round when the muzzle was in place.
"boom!"
It hit the target instantly, and the explosion blew away a pile of iron fragments, but the goal was not achieved.
The opponent's tank is still rotating its turret and is about to lock on the "Beauty".
"brake!"
With his rich combat experience, Ding Datou hurriedly ordered this move to catch the opponent off guard.
Sure enough, at the same time as the "Beauty" braked, the enemy tank also opened fire, but the warhead just passed in front of the turret.
It wasn't like it wasn't fired at all. It almost missed the edge of the turret and flew past. Ding Datou knew by feel that everyone had escaped.
"Give this bastard one more shot!"
The other party must be killed, otherwise the other party will definitely kill himself.
"okay!"
Dai Hao Lun opened fire as he spoke, and the shell hit the target again, this time causing a bigger explosion. The entire vehicle was blown into scrap metal, and there should be no breathing space inside.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Playing like this is simply a life-threatening game!
Death-defying is exciting!
Especially playing with your own life!
If you had reacted a little too late just now, you would be the one who would be cooked to a crisp.
Fortunately, we don't play like this every time, otherwise we won't survive the war...
Just as the three members of the crew relaxed a little, a huge figure suddenly appeared on the right side.
Ding Datou and others were relieved when they saw the military emblem with the word "Shen" on the front of the car clearly. It was Sun Jinjin's crew from the same company.
"Holy shit! I almost scared me to death!"
The scene was in chaos, with the visible distance less than twenty meters, and everyone's heart was in their throats.
"Stop talking nonsense! Let's go back to back! Otherwise, we will really be beaten to death!"
Sun Jinjin had just experienced a life-and-death battle and was worried about finding a reliable partner.
"good!"
If two tanks are side by side, at least you don't have to worry about the situation on the other side.
When encountering an unlucky guy coming from the opposite side, the two vehicles can fire a double salvo, which will definitely kill it directly.
The entire reconnaissance battalion is only equipped with twenty No. 7 tanks, and the rest are various types of armored vehicles.
Of these tanks, five are still in a state of repair, and only fifteen are ready for battle.
Including the 22 tanks that have been urgently repaired by logistics, there are less than 40 tanks that can participate in the battle.
Moreover, there is not even a single heavy tank No. 9. Among the thirty-seven tanks, No. 7 accounts for 28 tanks.
In view of this, Wu Weiming formulated the smoke-mixing tactic in the hope that his own tank troops could perform extraordinary feats at the critical moment.
If they were to shoot at each other on the spot, I'm afraid this tank would only be able to compete with the opponent for one round, and then he would lose all the chips in his hand.
Although the "Imperial Guard" equipped by the opponent is inferior to the Panzer 9 tank of the Ming Dynasty, it is still no problem against the Panzer 8 tank, and it can form a great advantage over the Panzer 7 tank.
By now, Wu Weiming had no illusions at all. Using the reconnaissance battalion's No. 7 tanks and the repaired No. 8 tanks to deal with the "Imperial Guard" was a more difficult task.
Instead of conducting on-the-spot fire-fighting defense, it is better to use a smoke-mixing tactic, which can minimize the firepower advantage of the "Imperial Guard", and maybe even steal the butt...
This trick works really well, especially when an anti-tank team of two people uses an abandoned truck that has been driven to the airport as an obstacle as a bunker, and it succeeds many times.
"bingo!"
Seaside yelled with joy when he saw his brother destroying an enemy tank with a rocket launcher.
"careful!"
Brother Hai Hai immediately heard the sound of machine gun fire, and then saw his brother being shot to the bottom.
In principle, the Ministry of War does not allow brothers to serve in the same army to avoid being injured at the same time.
But if you have a strong request, you can also do it as a favor.
This is the case with the Heidegger brothers. At least they can take care of each other when they are together.
Coast hurriedly dragged his brother behind the truck, but the enemy's fire did not stop, apparently targeting them.
Soon, the sound of tracks crushing the ground became clearer, and an enemy tank rushed out of the thick fog.
Coast hurriedly loaded a rocket, ready to seize the opportunity and destroy the target in one fell swoop.
He stuck out half of his head to visually measure the distance to the target, and then took action when he was mentally prepared.
However, unexpectedly, the machine gun in the opponent's hand was not easy to mess with, and it penetrated the coast's shoulder directly from the gap in the wreckage of the truck.
Now it's better. One of the brothers was shot in the upper body and the other in the lower body. They are truly brothers in need.
"elder brother!"
"Shh!"
Coast didn't let his brother make a sound, so as not to interfere with his own action. There might only be one chance.
If it succeeds, both brothers can escape. If not, their lives hang on a thread.
"boom!"
However, Coast's plan was very good, but the enemy did not give him a chance to attack. He fired a cannon at the truck, and the shock wave generated by the explosion blew the two brothers several meters away.
Now the true colors were revealed. Without the cover of the truck, the coast and seaside were lying on the flat ground. The other party obviously saw the two prey clearly and planned to harvest them after changing the bullets.
Coast has not yet woken up from the explosion just now, and his mind is muddled. However, out of the instinct to protect his younger brother, he still looks around with his eyes, ready to pick up the rocket launcher and fight to the death.
But after all, it was a person who had been bombed. His eyesight was blurry. He grabbed it twice before picking up the rocket launcher and carried it with great difficulty.
But the enemy had already loaded the bullet, and the sound of loading could even be heard on the coast, and an ominous premonition suddenly emerged from his mind.
If he is finished, he may also affect his younger brother. His elderly parents will have to rely on his sister and brother-in-law to take care of him. Now he is in trouble...
"boom!"
Just when the coast was ready to be sieved by machine guns, the enemy tank suddenly exploded, and the shock wave knocked the coast to the ground again.
But this time it was a lucky shock wave that directly saved the lives of the two brothers.
A tank of our own side came through the smoke. When the tank commander saw that it was his own men, he still shouted for them to leave quickly.
"Lao Hai!"
"Old Wei! Come here and help me, Haibang is injured!"
A nearby anti-tank team rushed to the scene after hearing the news, and Coast hurriedly called to the other party to get his brother out of the line of fire.
The two brothers destroyed a tank, which is enough. If they succeed again, I'm afraid they will be punished in this damn place.
The King of Ming Dynasty has a tradition of not leaving the line of fire for minor injuries, but if he suffered a gunshot wound, he could justifiably rest.
Anyone who dares not go to the battlefield can give himself a shot if he is ruthless enough.
If you feel it is not safe, then take two shots...
It was the first time for the crew members of the armored force of the Second Army of the Holy Roman Empire to enter the rear area of the yellow-skinned monkey. They were still excited, so naturally they were not afraid of the other party's illustrious reputation.
Especially from the perspective of this battle, the nickname of the Yellow-skinned Monkey, who is invincible, is just a joke. When encountering one's own armored troops, they were still beaten and fled, completely defeated.
According to the estimates of the brigade commanders, hundreds of fighter planes have been destroyed at the airport alone. The previous charge and the subsequent melee also destroyed at least 300 Yellow-skinned Monkey tanks.
This can be regarded as the most brilliant result achieved by the Imperial Army since the war began, and the final victory must not be far away.
Although the yellow-skinned monkey with a sense of luck is still resisting, it cannot change the trend of the empire's victory.
When armored vehicles carrying a large number of infantry appear at the airport, they can plant the imperial flag here.
This means that our side has captured the airport in the outer city of Nuremberg and will soon be able to capture the inner city.
The huge victory always lingers in the hearts of the officers and soldiers participating in the war. In addition, the initial victory enhanced their self-confidence, which enabled everyone to exert their combat effectiveness for a long time.
The only regret is that the sunset is too fast. If it was only four or five o'clock now, maybe the yellow-skinned monkeys here could be wiped out in one fell swoop.
It has to be said that everyone was very reluctant to let them escape under the cover of night.
However, this idea was quickly wiped out by the rumble of gunfire from the rear.
The Ming Army's 19th Motorized Infantry Brigade started from the east and the Japanese Army's 4th Brigade started from the west to outflank the invading enemy.
Slapping the enemy's butt is actually easier than covering up the kill, because the enemy won't be focused on running away for the time being.
One shot at a small target, the tank crews of the 19th Motorized Infantry Brigade wished they could fight so easily and happily every time.
The Panzer VIII tank has no advantage over the "Imperial Guard", but if the front of one's own vehicle hits the rear of the enemy's vehicle, it creates a huge advantage!
However, the "Imperial Guards" all rushed to the front, and what was left behind were nothing more than various types of crispy armored vehicles that could be broken into pieces with one blow.
Destroying such low-value targets is indeed not satisfying, but after packing the armored vehicle and seeing the burning enemies running out of the vehicle screaming, the entire crew of the Ming Dynasty felt very relieved.
It’s hard to make dumplings once, so of course the more meat filling, the better.
The Fourth Brigade of the Japanese Army also liked this method of fighting. It did not require many casualties on its own side, but it could maximize the results.
This was a smooth sailing battle, especially after thinking about the disastrous defeat of the Kimchi Army who deliberately competed with him.
The fourth brigade of the Japanese Army fought even harder. Through this battle, the Ming Dynasty will definitely be able to draw a conclusion that is beneficial to itself.
It's okay for pickle soldiers to collect potatoes in the rear. In a war, it's a victory if the enemy doesn't beat the shit out of them...
It is indeed too much to think so, but facts speak louder than words, and the battlefields are littered with the corpses of pickle soldiers.
There was not even a shadow of a pickled soldier in the forward position, so he must have escaped from the battle.
If it were our own side, we would definitely have to fight to the death with the invading enemy.
On the other hand, some smart guys also understand that the worse the pickle army's defeat, the more beneficial it will be to their own side.
Under the influence of these two ideas, the Japanese Fourth Brigade naturally became more and more courageous as they fought. The tank troops surged toward the enemy's rear like a torrent of steel.
Two steel knives were inserted into his butt at once, and they were still thrust forward, which immediately made Marshal Fritz feel pain.
He also realized that the situation was not good and that his advantage was gone.
If we continue to attack, everyone may die here.
So he immediately ordered the firing of signal flares and ordered the entire army to retreat quickly.
It's almost dark on the battlefield now, and if the opponent wants to pursue their troops, they can't hold on for too long. The aircraft can only be dispatched after dawn.
This is the only chance to escape. No matter how late it is, we will not be able to safely evacuate the battlefield.
Continuing to fight can indeed expand the results, but now is definitely not the time to be greedy for success.
At this time, most of the smoke had dissipated. After seeing the green flare in the sky, the crew had no choice but to retreat.
Of course, the Ming Army's 19th Motorized Infantry Brigade and the Japanese Army's 4th Brigade would not give up the rest of the prey easily and would hold on to the rear.
The Ming Army's 12th Armored Army and the Japanese Army's 5th Brigade, which had just arrived at the periphery of the battlefield, also learned of the relevant situation via radio and immediately joined the battle.
Since the prey has thrown itself into the trap this time, how can it try to escape again?
Wu Weiming ordered all ministries to launch a counterattack immediately and chase them as far as they wanted.
You must not let the tiger go back to the mountain, otherwise you may never know when it will bring trouble to your own department again.
It was considered careless once. If you are tortured like this again, your head will be in danger...
Helicopters also participated in the operation. On the one hand, the army aviation troops could cover up and kill, and on the other hand, they could also launch flares to indicate targets for ground troops.
Although Nuremberg Airport was riddled with holes and was unable to take off and land propeller aircraft, it did not delay the takeoff and landing of helicopters at all.
I had made the other party earn so much before, but at night I beat them until they vomited out everything they had eaten!
When it evacuated the airport, the Second Army had less than 70 tanks and 200 armored vehicles and trucks left.
Maybe they could gather some remnants at the airport, but Marshal Fritz obviously couldn't care about those people.
