Chapter 1657： Overthrow (1/2)
Chapter 1657 Destruction (1)
”Is there something wrong with the intelligence?” Looking at the telegram that was just sent below, Xia Fei couldn't help frowning. How was everything safe before going to bed last night, why now? It was lunch time the next day, but less than 12 hours passed. One infantry division was defeated, another infantry division’s division and a regiment were annihilated, and the two battlefields were nearly 30 kilometers apart. This TM Funny?
What is even more incomprehensible is that after almost maiming two divisions, this unit has disappeared without a trace, which is a bit of a chat. Xiafei looked at the sky and found that the weather today is not very good and it is not suitable for reconnaissance aircraft activities. Otherwise, in Xiafei's view, he can at least know the composition and strength of this unit.
Although the Germans walked quickly, the French’s intelligence collection capabilities were not blown out. Soon, scattered intelligence was sent to Xiafei through various channels. Before dinner today, Xiafei finally got the answer. The situation of this force has a general understanding.
First of all, it can be determined that this unit does not have tanks and heavy artillery. According to intelligence data, the strongest weapon for manual use in the battle should be the 75MM rapid-fire gun and the 120MM heavy mortar level. However, there are many armored vehicles in the formation of this unit. The large-caliber machine guns and 40MM machine guns on it caused great damage to the French infantry.
Secondly, based on the fact that this unit can easily kill a division and a regiment, and the performance of a French army's nearly complete division-level combat unit in field combat, this unit has a large number of personnel. The current staff Estimated to be around 6000 people. It is a strengthened brigade.
Third, even if the French express their disbelief, this force does have mobility beyond the imagination of the French army! According to the front-line investigators receiving news from the disbanded French army, no one in this army drove on two legs. After the battle, the wreckage of a large number of German vehicles left on the battlefield also told the French what level the vehicle equipment of this unit has reached!
”The Germans will play new tricks again. They seem to have concentrated a considerable part of the wheeled tanks to carry out this harassment mission behind enemy lines. And it has caused considerable trouble to our army.” An officer said.
”Now we need to immediately gather the broken up troops and reorganize them. The fourth division is completely abolished. We can assign a new command system to the division that has lost its brain, and then add the remnants of the fourth division. , In this case, we can recover at least one division in a short time.” Another officer said.
”Also to make other divisions more vigilant, although from intelligence, this unit also suffered heavy losses during the offensive process, but after all, the number and scale are not small. Maybe next time they will not be able to kill a complete division, but It is still possible to destroy a regiment.” Xia Fei thought for a while and said.
”By the way, in addition, let the troops concentrate on the railway line. The remaining German troops can still pose a considerable threat to the railway line. More than 70% of our heavy equipment, ammunition and vehicles are transported by rail. The logistics supply line is absolutely There can be no problem.” Xia Fei added.
