Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 9: Situation

　　 Xu Jun felt that he had begun to enter the role. Now I can think about problems in a military way. The feeling of giving orders is really good, and the charm of power is really unstoppable. Now all the German soldiers looked at themselves with trust. But what should I do to save the current crisis.

　　 Xu Jun looked at the British position with a binoculars, thinking hard in his heart.

　　 "Major Mueller!" Xu Jun shouted, "Have you not counted the statistics yet?"

　　 Muller trot all the way and rushed over. "Report to the General. The statistics are complete. We now have 897 infantrymen, 37 junior officers, 28 non-combatants, 142 artillery and assault engineers. There are 36 machine guns and 20 anti-tank guns. There are 150 artillery. There are 4 mm self-propelled guns. They have not fired because of the sudden destruction of the division headquarters. The problem is that those cannons only carry grenades. It seems that they cannot be counted on against tanks.

　　 We also have 6 75mm light infantry guns, 7 37mm anti-tank guns, 1 20mm machine gun, and 12 50mm mortars. We have fourteen carriages of infantry ammunition, and the artillery's shells have two bases.

　　 We still have two field kitchens, but we only have one day left to feed them. The other supplies are still there, but we still don’t know where they are.

　　 I found two 221-wheeled armored vehicles. They were parked behind the hillside, so they were not destroyed, but the captains were killed on the hillside, leaving only two frightened drivers.

　　 We also have 4 SK600 sidecars and 2 Adler 2-ton off-road trucks. General, it seems we can still fight. "

　　"It’s just over 1,100 people, and it’s less than one regiment. Now we are not an opponent of the opposite British army in terms of number or firepower. I saw at least two of the opposing army in the air. A regiment, there are no less than one battalion of tanks, they also have a battalion of artillery, which shows that we are facing a complete British brigade.

　　 The opponent’s "Matilda" tank is not the firepower we have now. One type is only equipped with a 12.7 mm machine gun, which is slow like crawling, so we can also use cluster grenades and To deal with it with zha medicine bag, just separate it from the infantry. But the second type "Matilda" is a new type of infantry tank, which is completely different from the first type. Compared with it, a type is simply a light tank. Its 40 guns can penetrate the armor of most of our tanks, and we only have the 75mm gun of the IV tank to deal with it.

　　 Fortunately, it seems that there are not many other tanks of this kind. There should be only about ten, and two of them have been destroyed by landmines. Now we have to figure out how to get rid of the few remaining Matilda IIs, otherwise we will end badly. "Xu Jun frowned and said.

　　Müller was taken aback. It turned out that the British army on the opposite side was so strong. Now it seems to be a big trouble. He asked: "General, what should we do?"

　　"What else can we do, we must stay here, any retreat now will bring a massacre. If the position is lost, it will directly lead to the destruction of the 7th Armored Division. You now go and order the soldiers. Try to save ammunition as much as possible, and don't fire until the enemy infantry attack machine guns. We have to prepare to consume them, and only wait until we get in touch with other troops before thinking about what to do next." Xu Jun replied.

　　 "Understood" Mueller nodded, ready to go down and deploy defenses. Xu Jun suddenly thought of something and called Mueller.

　　 "Major!"

　　 "In, General"

　　"You immediately order the artillery on the two wings to immediately transfer positions. Tell them to act immediately, immediately!"

　　 "Yes, I see, General."

　　"The British Army is known for being good at using artillery. Now those two artillery positions have been exposed, and they will definitely be attacked by British artillery in the next battle. Now I can't lose a bit of strength. What a headache. "Xu Jun thought.

　　 "General, we have contacted the rest of the 78th Artillery Regiment." Randolph came up to report.

　　 "Great! Take it to me right away." Xu Jun was agitated, and finally he didn't have to fight with a water gun.

　　 An anxious voice came from the earphones. "General Reinhardt, I am Lieutenant Colonel Srom, commander of the 78th Artillery Regiment. Major Hans has already told me about your situation. We have not been able to. I contacted you and ran in the wrong direction. Now I am trying to get closer to you. General."

　　"Where is your current position? Where did you take the 78th Artillery Regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Srom." Xu Jun felt depressed and ran in the wrong direction? Why didn't they go to the British?

　　 "I~IndoMTL.com~ We are now 10 kilometers southeast of yours. Please rest assured, your sir. We strive to arrive within 20 minutes. Ah, no, we must arrive within 20 minutes." Hear Xu Jun's tone seemed bad, and the lieutenant colonel was a little scared.

　　"Then I am here waiting for you, now your cannon is the key to our survival, do you understand, Lieutenant Colonel Srom. In 20 minutes, I will look at the watch, if you don’t want to be called Come here as soon as Major Roma says.” Xu Jun told Randolph to cut off the conversation.

　　 "Randolph! Continue to contact other troops. All troops near us, especially the 7th Battalion, must contact them."

　　 "Understand, General."

　　 "Why did you run behind us? Didn't the artillery be on our side? They ran really fast, 10 kilometers away. Mueller, didn't you say they were as slow as infantry?" Xu Jun smiled bitterly. Speaking to Major Mueller.

　　 Mueller also showed a dumbfounded expression. "I don’t know what happened. They only have a few SDKFZ7 half-track tractors with 88mm anti-aircraft guns. The other 105mm heavy field guns are all Towed by an 8-ton truck. I really don’t know how they can run faster than us. Let’s wait for Captain Srom to come and listen to his explanation."

　　 Xu Jun began to think in his mind how the British would attack him before the 78th Artillery Regiment arrived.

　　 "We must persist until the 78th Artillery Regiment arrives. I really hope that the British will not launch an offensive before that." Xu Jun said to Mueller.

　　 "Understood, General." Mueller replied.
