The Third Reich: The Return of the King

Chapter 994

Only two shells were fired, which was considered calibration. During calibration, there must be scouts in front to calibrate the landing point and report the shooting situation to the artillery unit in the rear. Otherwise, at a distance of more than ten kilometers, the artillery in the rear would not know the results of their shooting unless they had clairvoyance!

So there must be enemy soldiers nearby, and it is not a skill to judge this.

However, how to get the enemy out of the way so that he can complete the reconnaissance mission safely is his skill!

“We don’t have much time, they will soon find the location of our jeep, and when they realize they have been tricked, they will definitely return the same way, and they may even gather more people to expand the search range, then we will be in danger!”

Lieutenant Charlie said to several soldiers with a serious face. Because of his previous excellent command, the team avoided danger again and again, so his prestige was unprecedentedly high at this time, and the team members naturally obeyed his words!

“Mr. Lieutenant, just tell us what you want us to do and we will do it!”

“Yes, we will definitely obey your orders!”

Lieutenant Charlie glanced at several soldiers and found that they all nodded at him, and finally felt relieved!

“Of course there is a way, but doing so requires taking certain risks. I wonder if you dare to take the risk with me?”

……

It was a little difficult for the Gauls to risk their lives to go deep into dangerous areas to spy on the enemy.

So Lieutenant Charles chose another very clever way!

“Hello, is this the artillery unit? Yes, that’s right, we have found the enemy’s assembly position, please fire according to this position and strike hard at the enemy!”

Lieutenant Charlie asked the signalman of the Fairy Tale Country to send a location where he guessed the enemy might assemble to the artillery commander in the rear of the coalition forces, and asked the artillery to bombard the place!

The commander of the artillery knew that the troops had sent a reconnaissance unit to investigate, so after receiving the telegram from the front line, he did not doubt it. Before getting further and clearer intelligence, he chose to believe the deception of Charlie and others, and really bombarded the target area!

The equipment of the coalition artillery unit can be said to be quite luxurious. They have artillery of various calibers, many of which are heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 120 mm.

Moreover, the members of the coalition artillery are elites drawn from various countries. They control the best weapons pulled out from their respective armies. In the first time, they formed a barrage of covering shooting and carried out dense and fierce attacks on the target area!

Lieutenant Charlie was lucky. There was indeed a Soviet army stationed in the place where he guessed blindly. Although the number of this Soviet army was small, it was suddenly hit by artillery fire, which still surprised the Soviet army!

“Our whereabouts must have been exposed, and the enemy must have discovered our location, so they directly bombarded our assembly area!”

The Soviet commanders were confused about the situation. Their mission was to stop the European coalition forces and prevent them from continuing to move north and threatening the safety of the Soviet flanks. So their original plan was to find the main force of the coalition forces and then choose to take the initiative to engage in battle or defend on the spot based on the enemy’s strength.

However, before they could figure out the enemy’s situation, the enemy took the initiative to launch an attack, which completely disrupted their plans and forced them to fight passively!

Moreover, judging from the intensity of the enemy’s artillery fire, the enemy’s artillery units were powerful and posed a huge threat to them. If they could not kill the enemy’s artillery… Troops, then they will definitely suffer in future battles!

Thinking of this, the Soviet commander did not hesitate. Although the reconnaissance personnel on the front line did not detect accurate intelligence, he still decided to send a troop to take the initiative to attack, to find out the location of the enemy artillery, and find an opportunity to kill the enemy artillery!

Like the Russian bear, the coalition forces also regarded their artillery as a treasure, so they arranged very tight defenses around their own artillery, always alert to possible enemies!

When the artillery units of both sides can bomb each other, the distance between the soldiers of both sides is actually quite close.

And this At that time, the Soviet army’s proactive attack was immediately discovered by the coalition forces, so, without suspense, a fierce battle broke out between the two sides!

When the first gunshot rang out, it announced that the full-scale exchange of fire between the European coalition forces and the Soviet army had officially begun!

In the following few days, the coalition forces that continued to arrive with follow-up troops began to overwhelm the Soviet army in terms of manpower, so the coalition forces began to frequently launch proactive attacks on the Soviet army.

Faced with unprecedented pressure on the southern front, the Soviet army naturally did not dare to be careless.

At this time, after a strong attack at all costs, they have successfully captured the capital of Latvia, and are currently continuing to march westward, planning to In one fell swoop, wipe out the remaining forces in the western part of Latvia!

However, this plan seems to be temporarily slowed down. The remaining remnant troops of Latvia only have a few tens of thousands of people. They are just a group of defeated soldiers and are not worth worrying about.

But the number of European coalition forces in the south has exceeded 700,000, and is still increasing rapidly!

According to the intelligence sent back from the front line, although these European coalition forces are composed of troops from multiple countries, their level is not low. In terms of weapons and equipment, they are even ahead of the Soviet army. They have more and more advanced artillery.

More trucks, armored vehicles, and even a large number of aircraft. Except for not seeing���In addition to the navy of the army, the coalition forces almost suppressed them in both air and ground aspects, which made the Soviet army attach great importance to it!

Therefore, after leaving a small part of the army to continue to clear the remaining Latvian army to the west, the main force of the Soviet army immediately went south, intending to meet the coalition forces in the south to see how strong they are! After the main force of the Soviet army went south, Latvia, which was already half dead, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Lithuania, which had not been invaded in the south but was terrified, also breathed a sigh of relief!

As long as Latvia is saved, then as a neighbor of Latvia, they are unlikely to encounter the dilemma of being attacked from three sides. At this time, they only need to cooperate with the coalition forces on the front battlefield and go all out to deal with the threat of the enemy from the east!

So, starting from late February, the Allied Forces and the Soviet Army launched a series of fierce battles near Lithuania and Sanmao. The scale of the battles between the two sides became larger and larger. At the beginning, it was just a small-scale collision, and then gradually evolved into a regiment-level and brigade-level battle. In the end, when the main forces of both sides arrived at the battlefield, the battle immediately escalated to a corps-level or even a group-army-level melee!
