NFBE Chapter 485 Kursk Defense Line
Chapter 485 Kursk Defense Line
Kursk Plain.
After half a month of planning and preliminary construction, the Kursk Defense Line has taken shape.
First, the fortifications.
In order to respond to the attack of the Papal States, the Wehrmacht built a huge cluster of fortifications on the Kursk Plain.
First is the first line of defense, which has already taken shape.
There were dense trenches and barbed wire minefields in front of the positions.
In addition, an MG50 was set up every 42 meters in the trench, and a Pak40 anti-tank gun was set up every meters.
Furthermore, the anti-tank guns were protected by concrete fortifications.
A fixed firing point was formed.
In order to clear the firing range for the firing point, the armored division sent soldiers to clear all obstacles in front of the position.
Some small earthen slopes were flattened by the Wehrmacht using explosives.
Not only that, there were more than 2000 artillery pieces of 100 mm and above aimed at the area in front of the position.
As long as the enemy dared to launch an attack, the Wehrmacht's artillery would smash the enemy's heads with shells.
The rocket artillery division is on the way and will provide rapid support at the critical moment.
Kursk Plain.
Guderian was gathered around a Tiger tank with his company commanders.
Guderian was rigorously explaining the orders issued by the division headquarters to the company commanders.
The division headquarters has ordered the tank troops to gather behind the first line of defense.
At this time, the Kursk Plain has completely entered winter and the temperature is about to drop below zero.
In addition, the temperature on the Kursk Plain can drop to minus 30 degrees Celsius in previous years.
This is a huge test for both sides.
Fortunately, the Wehrmacht's main tanks are almost all powered by a mixture of magic crystal fuel and diesel.
Only the cheaper T34 still uses a diesel engine.
T34: So love will disappear, right?
Lyon also wanted to equip the T34 with a magic crystal drive, but found that the cost of equipping a T34 with a magic crystal drive was enough to build half a T34.
What kind of bran does T34 eat? Quantitative change leads to qualitative change!
So it was decided that T34 would use numbers to overwhelm the opponent...
However, winter has a great impact on T34. In the previous life, in order to ensure that T34 can be used normally in winter at temperatures of dozens of degrees below minus Celsius.
The big brothers placed the fire directly under the tank.
Thaw the fuel tank by heating it.
Ways are always more difficult than difficult!
Guidry spoke.
"Since everyone is here, let me briefly explain. Although we are behind the first line of defense, in fact, as long as there is danger on the front line, we need to rush up immediately!"
The company commanders nodded and agreed with Guderian's statement.
“But according to intelligence, the enemy has air units and is likely to conduct pre-battle reconnaissance.
Then we need to hide our armored units, we need to build some temporary shelters, such as digging holes in the ground, putting tanks in them, and then covering them with straw and thatch. "
As Gudli spoke, he pointed to a pit that had been dug nearby.
It can just accommodate a tank, and if necessary, the tank can immediately accelerate and rush out.
"But what if enemy air units discover these bunkers?"
A company commander spoke up.
"Then find a way to make these bunkers more realistic so that the enemy can't tell what they are!"
Guidry said firmly.
Because Guderian knew that the armored forces must be firmly pinned behind the first line of defense.
Otherwise, once a situation occurs, if the first line of defense is not supported in time, it is likely to be breached by the enemy.
Although Guderian knew how strong the first line of defense was, who could say for sure?
Then, while Guderi was in the meeting, something happened again in the eastern part of Kursk Plain...
Ever since the last night when Guderian led the armored forces to crush the vanguard of the Demon Rebels, the Demon Rebels were instantly extinguished.
And the Papal States also began to focus on the city of Nicadero.
But the rebels did not give up, they still wanted to take back everything that belonged to them.
Because they wanted to occupy the Kursk Plain as their granary.
But haven’t these rebels ever thought about one question?
They occupied the Kursk Plain, so why did the Papal States attack the Kursk Plain?
Everyone would be greedy for fertile land, including Lyon himself.
But what should be taken and what should not be taken.
It depends on your strength.
Lyon couldn't guarantee that he could swallow this plain, so Lyon didn't think about taking over this plain from the beginning.
Lyon's original idea was just to stop the attack from the Papal States here.
I didn’t expect there was such a master. The rebels actually have such talents!
So the rebels captured a large number of civilians and formed an army of 100,000.
It was directly called an "army of 20".
Want to launch an attack on the 1st Armored Division.
Fifty thousand soldiers launched a direct attack on Kadi village.
As a result, they were beaten into pieces by an infantry regiment of more than 3000 people...
Only a few thousand people launched the attack, but they were instantly defeated by the infantry regiment.
With the defeat of several thousand people, the remaining mob immediately fled for their lives, abandoning their weapons and armor.
After all, these 50,000 people were just able-bodied men captured temporarily.
Although the Wehrmacht soldiers knew that these were able-bodied men, when they picked up their guns and pointed them at the Wehrmacht.
They are already enemies...
However, in order to reduce the casualties of these poor people, the Wehrmacht directly used artillery to scare away these 50,000 people.
It turned out that the tactic was correct.
Then the demon rebels went berserk.
"Damn it! I have 50,000 men and I can't even take down a village!
They were scared away after firing two shots? What are these people doing? "
Inside the Demon Rebel Command Center, the Demon Rebel leader was furious.
Because he saw the 50,000-strong army being beaten into pieces.
Although he knew that these 50,000 troops were a mob, he wanted to save some face for himself.
So I tried my best to belittle these 50,000 people.
But he didn't understand one thing. The combat effectiveness of these 50,000 people was originally low...
The generals looked at their leader's rage and said nothing.
Because they know someone has to take the blame...
Although this pot has no logic at all...
After venting his anger, the leader paused and then spoke.
"Pull out all the cannons, I'm going to raze Kadi Village to the ground!"
After receiving the leader's order, everyone immediately began to act.
All artillery was assembled and shelling of Kadi village began.
When they heard the familiar sound of artillery shells breaking through the air, the Wehrmacht soldiers immediately entered the anti-artillery caves.
At the same time, the artillery was ordered to prepare to destroy the enemy's artillery positions, and 50 Stuka bombers had taken off from the northern region of the Elf Empire.
We will be able to support Kadi Village soon...
Sir, times have changed, and technology is king now!
