Chapter 421: Confrontation on a Rainy Night
Three days later, it rained heavily at night.
Guderian's armored forces crawled out of the mud.
Arrived 10 kilometers west of Kadi Village.
The armored forces only advanced 300 kilometers in three days.
This is due to the bad road conditions.
The Tiger tank is almost in the mud now.
The Tiger tank's original maximum speed had reached 60 kilometers per hour.
But in the mud, it's good to be able to travel ten kilometers per hour.
This requires God's favor.
God is not kind to us. The armored troops can't even move forward. They'll be lucky if they can avoid getting stuck...
The muddy ground was acceptable at first, but after the armored troops in front ran over it, the friendly troops behind were in trouble.
The mud turned into slush, making it even more difficult for the armored forces to move.
But fortunately, Guderi and his men still made it to Kadi Village.
However, the scout told Gudry a very bad fact.
A large army appeared to the east of Kadi Village...
Guderian immediately ordered the armored company to advance quickly and try to seize the buildings in Kadi Village.
The heavy tank battalion has a total of four companies: one heavy tank company, two medium tank companies, and one armored company.
The entire battalion is highly mechanized.
After receiving the order, the armored company advanced forward rapidly.
Soon we arrived at Kadi village.
However, the armored company's movements were still noticed by the Demon Empire's army.
Soldiers from the armored company began to seize Kadi village in the heavy rain.
The Pak40 anti-tank gun pulled behind the half-track armored vehicle was directly set up next to a house near the entrance of the village.
As long as the enemy dares to show up, the anti-tank guns will give them loving care.
In addition, the infantry of the armored company fought in squads and each entered a strategically important house.
At the same time, look for a suitable cover for yourself along the road in the village.
And some anti-tank mines were buried on the road.
In just half an hour, the armored company had arranged everything.
Everything is ready, waiting for the enemy to attack.
Kadi Village originally had thousands of people, but as war was about to break out, the villagers fled to other villages for refuge.
Because they had guessed in advance that a war would break out between the two sides in Kadi Village.
After all, as an old man who has experienced several battles, the village chief naturally knows the importance of Kadi Village.
No matter who it is, as long as a war breaks out on the Cusco Plain, the two sides will inevitably fight for the ownership of Kadi Village.
As long as we control the village of Kadi, it is equivalent to strangling the entire eastern part of the Kursk Plain.
soon.
The vanguard of the Demon Empire, 3000 men, arrived outside Kadi Village.
Looking at the deserted village, the Demon Empire general did not take it lightly because according to the scouts' report.
The village in front of us had already been occupied by the National Defense Forces.
The Demon Empire general did not hesitate at all and immediately ordered the artillery unit to begin shelling.
After all, their mission was to launch an attack on the 1st Armored Division, and they could either occupy or destroy the Kadi village in front of them.
As long as it doesn't fall into the hands of Da Yan...
"Boom boom boom!"
Sparse shells fell into the village of Kadi.
The soldiers of the armored company still stick to their posts.
Wait for the enemy to attack.
When Gudry saw the village of Kadi being bombarded, he immediately sent a telegram to the Third Regiment, asking about their location.
The commander of the third regiment said that they had entered a forced march.
But it is still 50 kilometers away from Kadi Village.
This means that Gudli will have to lead the armored forces to resist the Demon Empire's army for more than 12 hours.
But can Kadi Village withstand the artillery attack?
Guidry shook his head.
The heavy tank battalion was not equipped with any heavy artillery at all. The only artillery was the 16 Pak40 anti-tank guns of the two anti-tank gun platoons of the heavy tank battalion and 8 half-track armored vehicles equipped with Pak40.
However, the heavy tank battalion has 24 Tiger tanks, 12 King Tiger tanks, 72 Panther tanks, and 12 KV2 self-propelled artillery.
With these armored forces, Guderian may be able to fight these 3000 people...
Due to the heavy rain, the aviation brigade was unable to provide support on time.
The most anxious person may not be Guderian, but the aviation brigade.
Watching a thunderstorm over the Kursk Plains.
It was difficult for pilots to take off in thunderstorms.
The 1st Armored Division also learned of this situation and couldn't help but complain about the bad weather.
At the same time, I also lamented that Guderian's luck was really bad.
If it's not a thunderstorm, then it's just a light rain.
The aviation brigade was also able to take off in light rain.
But the problem is that thunderstorms are like this. For pilots, the slightest mistake can result in the destruction of the plane and the death of the pilots...
Gudry showed no expression when he learned that the Air Force could not provide support on time.
Instead, he began to plan how to eat these 3000 people.
That’s right, Guderian was not thinking about how to repel these 3000 people, but how to eat these 3000 people.
According to the scout's telegram.
These 3000 men only had a small number of armored units.
The scouts discovered that the enemy had less than 30 tanks.
Moreover, they have fewer artillery pieces and are simply unable to carry out long-term saturation artillery strikes.
So Gudry concluded that the enemy would launch an attack soon.
After all, the enemy scouts saw only one company of troops entering Kadi Village.
A company of more than 200 people were guarding the village.
Looks isolated and helpless.
For a demon with 3000 soldiers, isn't this just a beautiful woman standing right in front of him who has no power to resist?
So, after the artillery had been firing continuously for fifteen minutes, the general of the Demon Empire finally gave the order for the army to attack.
It's not that he doesn't want to continue firing the cannon, but he has run out of shells...
Although the Papal State provided weapons and equipment to the rebel army of the Demon Empire.
However, most of these equipments were discarded by the Papal State, which did not inspect the quality at all and just stuffed them into our hands.
Many of the shells were almost duds.
But the Demon Empire rebels didn't know that! They happily took the equipment back.
This vanguard force originally had enough ammunition.
These shells were also carefully protected.
But after a gunner fired three shots in a row, he discovered that all three shells were duds.
The demon rebel soldiers were confused.
Is this a cannon or a fire stick?
Or just dismantle the cannon and use the barrel to attack people...
The demon soldier thought for a moment and looked at his biceps...
I have an idea!
Carrying a gun barrel to attack people!
Unfortunately, this artilleryman didn't really use the gun barrel to shoot people...
Instead, continue firing shells.
But the artilleryman was horrified to find that six of the ten shells he fired were duds...
What's the point of this...
When the Demon Rebel General learned of this, he had no choice but to order his troops to attack.
If we keep firing like this, we’ll run out of ammunition before we get through…
