Of course, it would be better if these lines of defense could be used to drag Germany into the quagmire of war and accept Japan’s peace demands … But now it seems that all this is impossible now, because the first of the three lines of defense, bearing these hopes, barely supported in front of a German tank for 4 hours and collapsed.
Now the Germans have one tank. What if they delay for another month and transfer more tanks? If the Germans have five tanks, will his defense be torn and destroyed in an instant? What if the Germans bring in one? What about two cars?
Because it has been bordered by the Axis and is at the forefront of the war between the two sides, Ishihara smiled and studied his opponent, the German armored forces, with little information in his hand.
Through some paper information, he knew that the base of German armored division was 36 tanks, which means that if his troops hit the root of a German armored division head-on, they would not be able to hold it for an hour and would be torn to pieces by the torrent of steel. However, a German armored tank usually exceeds one tank, which is almost as many as almost all the vehicles in his hand.
“嘎……德国人和美国人怎么会有那么庞大钢铁产量怎么会有那么多那么好坦克？”石原莞尔想起这些就忍不住抱怨起来他手里坦克部队每一辆坦克都宝贵不得了可是德国人却已经成千万装备更好坦克了——这场战争还让他怎么打？
他看了看地图背着手仔细端详着那张战区地图——他考虑是不是将自己主力部队撤回来山林地区重新布置自己防御阵地这样防御阵地可让他勉强避德国人坦克优势减少他部队可能受到损失
可是另一个要命问题来了了重新布置防御阵地他要让出很多已经占领不合适防御地区——这一让他如对自己司还有天皇陛解释？到时候谁能说清楚这是收缩防线还是被德国人打得溃败？
而且他没有亲眼见过德国人坦克还是觉得如果他装甲部队还有反坦克炮加固部分防御阵地就能够抵御这些德国坦克攻击也说不定想到这里石原莞尔终于决定按兵不动他第二道防线有坦克部队还有反坦克炮——双方总是要真正较量一分个高低才好决定接来事情不是么？

At this time, Milnor didn’t go with his crew, but the translator and Soviet officers accompanied him to visit the grenade launcher, which made his appearance in the Far East tortuous.
"It was these little things that almost hit my tank?" Michelle looked at the Japanese grenade launchers lined up in the trenches with blood on them, then looked at the piles of Japanese corpses not far from them and frowned and asked the translator.
"yes! It is this kind of weapon … The Japanese army used to let the infantry carry these grenade launchers so that they could have good front-line artillery support without setting up special transport troops. "The Soviet officers nodded after hearing the translation and answered Milnor’s question." They are very clever and very brave … It is worth studying our opponents carefully. "
Milnor nodded and laughed. "Maybe, I believe they are worthy of our serious study … but when our tank regiment and other troops arrive, I hope they will have more surprises to show us. If they don’t, it’s obvious that they will see the real war, the European war!"

Chapter 1171 To Nomenkan
What is the European War? Perhaps this question is very difficult to answer, but from some details, we can get a glimpse of the essence of the European steel war. At the end of the Far East Railway, Soviet engineers are under the command of German officers to unload one tank after another, and the whole car appears to be congested because of too much materials.
This small reality is not in the far east of Komsomolsk, but in Mongolia, which is not far from Nomenkan. It was on the edge of the war zone between Soviet and Japanese troops that year. I heard that a Japanese reconnaissance plane was shot down here, but compared with other parts of the world, it is completely peaceful here.
Compared with the rolling mountains and rivers on the Sino-Soviet border, the original forest in Xing ‘an Mountains as far as the eye can see, the German troops prefer Mongolia, a vast grassland suitable for German armored forces to attack, just like the ancient nomadic raiders. Tanks here also have unique advantages.
The only drawback is that there is no decent logistics support point method to quickly establish a huge consumption support for German armored forces, but obviously the Germans are trying to improve this shortcoming and make it more suitable for armored forces.
In the last two months, the German army has been able to put enough pressure on the Japanese army, and an armored division and two armored grenadiers divisions are being transported to the front line of the Far East. These troops are equipped with almost five tanks and assault guns. According to a rough calculation, just to prepare for these tank battles, more than 20 thousand shells will be transported.
If we can adjust to the Far East at any time, light infantry and paratroopers special forces, these Germans need supplies, and the Far East Railway is a little too heavy, which is why the Germans have also invested a tank so far-it is not a simple project to make an armored regiment run in the Far East.
Of course, there are some reasons to increase the number of these logistics supplies. Because the Japanese far east front has used chemical weapons and bacteriological weapons, arcado personally ordered that all troops entering the far east should carry gas masks and prepare enough biochemical isolation equipment.
You know, the Fuehrer’s army started with poison gas prevention and control, which made the frontline combat troops inexplicably interested, and actually strengthened their poison gas prevention capabilities. As a result, these troops transferred to the Far East had to borrow some gas masks from friendly forces to meet the Fuehrer’s requirements.
Chaos cars, Soviet soldiers carrying a German division’s logistics supplies in horror, these soldiers from the Far East connected the mountains of things in front of them with divisional units-they were a regiment or at least two armies, and the Germans had arrived in the Far East.
"Three armored trailers, seven engineering cranes … and two bridge tanks, five rocket minesweepers." Looking at the car in his hand, the Soviet officer’s brow twisted like two caterpillars. It was rare to see such a huge logistics vehicle in the Soviet battle sequence, which made him doubt the size of the German troops.
If he knew that if Marshal Catherine hadn’t assured the Fuehrer three times that his army could complete the Far East support work, it was unnecessary to let the troops carry too many anti-aircraft weapons. There should also be 16 mm towed anti-aircraft guns and 2 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns with four sets of self-propelled anti-aircraft guns … he might have collapsed completely.
Even so, he could understand the German’s dependence on weapons and equipment and their obsession with these efficient killing machines. A whole transport brigade arrived at the Far East secret field airport with all kinds of urgently needed materials in front of 43 Odin helicopters. These materials were not transported by railway, otherwise more things would arrive …
Of course, a whole tank division doesn’t have these logistics units with low combat effectiveness. In fact, 11 tanks have arrived in the Far East and have been trained locally-in addition to one tank participating in actual combat, the crew members in one tank also practice climbing, recognize road signs and learn simple Russian and Japanese.
Even so, when they arrived at the same time and parked neatly in the field next to another batch of leopard tanks, they brought enough visual shock to local Soviet soldiers. These tanks were parked neatly in a square, and all the barrels were adjusted to a unified angle because of the German obsession, which was as awesome as steel forming a forest.
"Marshal zhukov is simply a genius commander who can fight an enemy of this level for one year." Looking at those German tank crews who are enjoying the fresh air in the Far East and the moment of peace in the war gap by the tanks, the Soviet officers who are in charge of the cars issued a soliloquy admiration.
……
At the same time, a Japanese tank commander in the core position of the Japanese Far East put a telescope in his hand to counter the direction of the German Komsomolsk. The Japanese high-level officials and the Germans have the same idea-there is a small fight that can really affect the war situation, depending on who is the winner in the Mongolian battle.
The German Far East troops made their first large-scale appearance in Nomonkan, and they decided that the Japanese army provoked the Soviet army to teach the former attackers a lesson, so that Japanese commanders could have a good look at what they should have done to win the war.
History always likes details, a modest joke. In those days, the Japanese army was still in phase with the Germans, and Germany also sent an observation team to visit the Nomonkan War of the Japanese army. Times have changed. Those Japanese visiting officers have been sent to the Far East for a few days to command the German war near Nomonkan.
At that time, they witnessed the defeat of the Japanese army in Nomenkan. Today, they want this familiar place to give their former allies a good lesson every day. The title of the topic is really very simple: "On how to make superior armored forces break through enemy lines in a vast terrain."
"General Ishihara really made a mountain out of a molehill by deploying our armored wing here …" The Japanese armored commander let go of his telescope and turned to the hand behind the 97-type chariot. "When we suffered heavy losses in Nomenkan, we learned from the bitter experience and felt that the armored forces chased the Soviets for a short time and laid a large number of anti-tank mines in the border areas …"
He pointed to the vast area not far away and said confidently, "Even if the Soviet Union and the Germans dig together, I think it will take more than ten days to completely clear the mine belt. Is there any interference in the defensive position behind the infantry?"
"Palace Sir! According to the news from the lookout in front, it is found that a large number of tanks in Nomenkan area may mobilize the Soviets to launch a large-scale attack nearby … The Kawasaki United captain has gone to the front line and the artillery team has been on alert! " A soldier, panting, ran to the armored commander here and reached the information he already knew.
The officer named Gong was stunned when he heard the news. He really didn’t know whether to say that Kawasaki, the commander of the infantry side, made a mountain out of a molehill or that the Germans and the Soviet Union were out of their minds. Even though the German tanks were stronger than the American 4 Sherman tanks, could their tracks not be afraid of anti-tank mines? Isn’t this Japanese military’s tightly guarded zone exhibition offensive a broken head?
"Go and tell Kawasaki United captain that I am ready to fight here! Let his infantry cover the flank of our tanks as much as possible. After all, our armor is not suitable for the Soviet tanks to fight head-on. "
For fear of the superiority of Soviet armored forces, when the Japanese army laid a defense line near Nomenkan, a large number of tank bunkers were dug. They hid their tank turrets in the bunkers to make up for the lack of armor thickness. Most of the palace tanks were hidden in such bunkers, ready to ambush each other when the opponent tanks approached a certain distance.
Looking at the soldier running along the trench to the distant palace, he looked up and looked at it. It was close to noon, and the sun was as dazzling as before. He narrowed his eyes, withdrew his eyes, and raised his telescope to observe the distant place opposite his position.
In his mind, the commander of the Japanese armored forces was still thinking about the information he had just heard. He knew that the Germans and the Soviets had prepared an attack, but even so, he still felt that the mines in front of him and the tanks in his hand could stop the other side from attacking.
"General Ishihara … is really a legacy … if we can annihilate a German army here, maybe the war in the Far East will be over?" Palace telescope looking at the distant horizon surges billowing smoke while mouth murmured to himself "to all tanks! Armor piercing bullets ready! Hold our position at all costs! Do everything possible to destroy enemy tanks! "

Chapter 1172 1173 Earth-shattering
"Release smoke! Cover our engineers for mine clearance! " Kurt adolf william meier, the commander of the German armored forces opposite the palace, ordered his troops to continue to attack. A young man, Meyer, born in 191, served in the German team for three years. Now he is an old soldier who has been fighting in the front line for two years.
In return, another famous armored commander has now become an experienced armored battalion commander. In this attack, two armored battalions and one other unit are responsible for the left side to break through the Japanese defense line and cooperate with the grenadiers to tear a gap. On the day of defeat, tank troops may counterattack.
"A joke … more? How long has it been since the Soviets fought back with tanks? Are Japanese tanks more powerful than the Soviets? " Meyer put the telescope in his hand, and the Japanese position was surprisingly quiet, which made him feel a little uneasy. He frowned and asked the middle-aged officer who was looking at the map next to the tank in the battalion, because this officer was assigned to his Far East military operation adviser.
Hearing Mayer’s questioning, the consultant shifted his eyes from the map. He looked up at the tank turret and leaned out half of his body. Mayer shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Most of the Japanese resources are in the navy. Their chariots are similar to our No.2 tank … Of course, if they realize their tank gap in one year, it is possible to use a new tank."
During World War II, tanks were not as complicated and sophisticated as modern tanks, including barrel casting technology, aiming computer technology, infrared night vision technology, etc.-At that time, tanks were either engines and almost steel plates, and even artillery guns could make do with infantry guns. It is possible to build a 1-ton tank if Japan is determined, but how effective this barely managed thing is will be known to them.
Hearing this answer, Mayer was somewhat relieved. He looked up into the distance, and the Japanese defensive position was still moving. Finally, he pressed the throat phone to the line and ordered, "Send a signal to the army to let the engineers go to the demining industry! 2 even tanks cover if the Japanese fire, immediately fight back. "
