At 6 a.m. in Kretskaya time, after the cockroach armored army traveled day and night, it finally arrived at the periphery of Kretskaya before the arrival of the Soviet guards' 2nd Tank Army. Looking at Kretskaya from a distance, the German soldiers could see through the telescope how many toilets there were in Kretskaya, and they could also see some Soviet soldiers urinating and defecating anywhere. The Soviet soldiers on the Kretskaya position were setting up anti-tank guns. It seemed that Kretskaya's defenders were ready to welcome the German attack.

On the periphery of Kretskaya, the cockroach armored army entered a brief rest state. Kinda also discussed the station situation with officers such as Ted, Hank, Fenrit and others in the armored command vehicle. Jintian pointed to the map and asked, "Where is the Soviet Guards 2nd Tank Army now? Where is General Guders Guders Guders Guders? Where is General Guders Guders Guders Guders? The news just now is that the Soviet Guards 2nd Tank Army is heading towards Kretskaya quickly. It should be around 4 pm to reach Nimka Village 30 kilometers from Dakretskaya and start contacting us. General Guders Guders 4th Armored Army will not reach Kretskaya until tomorrow morning. The format is very unfavorable to us, and our air force can give us some support. The air supremacy here is in our hands. However, the support is limited, and we are very dangerous now."

After hearing Hank's words, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Jinda comforted everyone and said, "Let's not think so much, first capture Kretskaya, then talk about it. Now is not a time to be depressed. All we can do is do our own thing. Maybe the situation is not as bad as we imagined." Speaking of this, Jinda's face darkened. "I order all the tank troops to gather together and prepare for assault. First carry out artillery coverage attacks, and then the tank troops will attack from both sides. The left wing is commanded by Hank and the right wing is commanded by Taide. You two must quickly break through the enemy's position and then carry out a devastating blow to the Soviet army on the position. After the tanks break through, all armored vehicles and tractors will attack again. Infantry followed the tractor, and Fenrit's Pest Guard serves as a reserve. Everyone can win time to eliminate the Soviet army on the position as soon as possible.

After entering the city, the tanks advance quickly and meet at the Kretskaya Center as soon as possible to divide the Kretskaya Soviet army and cut off the connection between the defenders. Infantry and armored vehicles and tractors are matched, and we will strive to capture Kretskaya before lunch starts, so that we can pull out the tank troops and welcome the arrival of the Soviet guards' 2nd Tank Army. Okay, everyone, go and prepare."

After Kinda's order was issued, the officers immediately stood up, saluted Kaneda, and walked out of the armored command vehicle and began to prepare for the battle. Kinda looked at the officers' departure and prayed in his heart, "God, Lord, bless us. I hope the Soviet guards' 2nd Tank Army suddenly got lost. I hope that all the Soviets became roadblocks and went to another place, so don't come to Kretskaya."

At 7:50 in Kretskaya time, bursts of violent artillery fire broke the tranquility on the battlefield. The 88mm anti-aircraft guns, 57mm anti-infantry guns, mortars, and artillery of various calibers aimed at Kretskaya's position and began to spit out flames. The entire Soviet position was covered by artillery shells in a few seconds. Countless smoke came out of the position, and the entire position was overturned by artillery fire several times, the German tanks began to break through the two wings, forming two iron fists and smashed them hard towards the Soviet position.

When the German artillery fire attacked, the Soviet soldiers lay tightly in the trench and avoided the German artillery fire. As soon as the artillery fire stopped, they entered the combat post with a well-trained train. They fired at the rushing German tanks with anti-tank guns. Several unlucky T26s were hit and turned into a fired iron coffin with thick smoke. However, the anti-tank guns had no effect on the Tiger 1 tank and the T34 armor. The German tanks quickly broke into the position and began to massacre the Soviet troops on the position.

Tanks are the kings in close combat, while Tiger 1 tank is the boss among the kings. It is difficult for anti-tank guns to penetrate the outer armor of Tiger 1 tank. Several brave Soviet gunners fired at Tiger 1 tanks at close range, but the shells hit the tanks, which only sparked a spark. German tanks quickly wiped out the Soviet troops on the position like watermelons, and rushed into the city.

Kimda watched his tank troops' performance with a telescope in the distance. After the tanks rushed into the city, Kimda ordered, "Infantry quickly follow up and start siege immediately. We must speed up the speed to take down Kretskaya." Kimda was as anxious as he was unable to find the toilet. Now time determines everything. Kimda decided to increase the attack strength and turned to Fenrit and said, "The Pest Guard will follow me, I will direct the siege directly."

Teide and Hank led their respective armored troops into the city from the wings of Kretskaya and headed towards their established commands. But as soon as they arrived in the city, the narrow streets inside hindered the progress of German tanks. The Soviets' resistance was even more tenacious than imagined. Soviet soldiers attacked German tanks with anti-tank mines, mobilizers, and anti-tank guns hidden in the house. Some even picked up aviation bombs that removed the fuses and launched suicide charges, which made the German attack very slow. Both Soviet and German soldiers understood the importance of Kretskaya, and no one retreated or feared. The entire battlefield was like a black hole, swallowing the lives of soldiers on both sides. The whole situation fell into a very stalemate.

After reaching the front line and understanding the current situation, Jinda changed the established combat plan, and began to concentrate the tank troops, dividing the entire Kretskaya into several areas, concentrating its forces to eliminate the Soviet army in one area, and then pounced on another area. At the same time, the Pest Guard also put into battle and strengthened the attack.
