Zyuganov's tank fired a gun at it, directly blasting the German tank in front. The gunner asked: "Why don't the Germans hide?"
Zyuganov said: "They're out of gas!"
"Haha, isn't that a live target?" The gunner smiled excitedly and aimed the tank gun at another tank.
"boom!"
This shot directly set the second tank on fire.
"boom!"
"boom!"
As the Soviet tank guns attacked, the German tanks were blown up one after another. These German tanks had no fuel and could only stay where they were, becoming living targets.
Zyuganov led his tank troops on a rampage and killed more than 300 German tanks in less than half an hour.
The entire road was blazing with flames and burning German tanks were everywhere.
Seeing this scene, Zyuganov looked up to the sky and laughed, and all the Soviet troops were also extremely excited.
With the destruction of these tanks, it also meant that the German army on the southern front lost its main armor force. As a result, the power of the German army on the southern front was greatly reduced and it could no longer pose a real threat to the Soviet army.
Zyuganov led his tank troops on a rampage on the road, killing the Germans in great embarrassment. At this moment, the Soviet infantry troops in front seized the opportunity to launch an attack, breaking through the German front-line positions in one fell swoop.
With the cooperation of the armored assault troops, the front was pushed southward for more than a kilometer before stopping.
At this time, Xu Rui's armored command vehicle had also arrived to join Zyuganov. At this point, the entire southern front operation to encircle and annihilate the German armored forces was a perfect success. More than 500 German tanks were destroyed, and nearly 400 were destroyed at once.
More than a hundred tanks of the 4th Armored Division were left and fled in panic. The Soviet army won a complete victory.
"Comrade Xu Rui, Comrade Zhukov's telegram!" A soldier sent Zhukov's telegram over. Diana looked excited and read it ten lines at a time, but her face became extremely ugly.
Xu Rui asked: "Comrade Diana, what happened?"
Diana said: "Comrade Zhukov said in the telegram that Hoppner of the German 4th Army suddenly launched an attack on the northern front. Their attack was so fierce that the 20th Army was almost defeated. Moreover, a German special forces unit also
The headquarters of the 20th Army was attacked, and the commander of the 20th Army, Lieutenant General Vlasov, was captured."
"What? Vlasov was captured?" Xu Rui couldn't help but be surprised. Vlasov was a member of the Soviet Red Army. He had superb command capabilities. In the early days of the German attack on the Soviet Union, Vlasov
The husband led a small force to fight with the German army, and finally successfully escaped from the German encirclement. However, he did not expect that this time his boat capsized in the ditch, and he was successfully beheaded by the German special forces and became a prisoner of the Germans.
Xu Rui frowned. In Xu Rui's opinion, Germany's Brandenburg special forces should not play a big role again after Otto and Collins were killed by him. Unexpectedly, they would die again this time. He was still too
Careless, underestimated the background of the German special forces.
"Comrade Zhukov is mobilizing various troops to go to the northern front, including calling armored assault troops to immediately reinforce the northern front. Comrade Zhukov said that if it is too late, Moscow may fall."
"Understood." Xu Rui nodded. The war on the southern front was almost over. The Soviet army had made great progress. Armored assault troops were no longer needed here for the time being. He must rush to the northern front immediately to reinforce the 20th Group Army.
Thinking of this, Xu Rui led the armored assault force and headed straight north...
At this time, the northern front was already involved in a fierce battle. Hoppner launched a fierce attack on the Soviet army's northern positions with more than 300 tanks from two armored divisions as the lead.
Since the 20th Army was successfully beheaded by the German special forces from the very beginning, the entire 20th Army fell into chaos and was almost collapsed by the Germans. Fortunately, the Kuznevtsov 1st Assault Army on the western front provided timely reinforcements.
Zhukov then deployed the 16th Army and the 19th Army to the northern front.
Despite this, the situation on the northern front is still precarious.
When Xu Rui led the armored assault force to the northern battlefield, he saw a Soviet army retreating from a distance. There were hundreds of Soviet troops in this group. Behind them, four or five German tanks
In hot pursuit.
Xu Rui immediately ordered a fierce attack on the German tanks. Seeing the arrival of a large number of Soviet tank troops, the German tanks did not dare to fight anymore and immediately retreated.
Xu Rui stopped the armored command vehicle, opened the compartment cover, jumped out, and saw a large number of broken troops rushing toward him.
Xu Rui stood on the tank and shouted: "No one is allowed to escape!"
Diana also shouted at the top of her lungs, and the rout finally became quiet.
Xu Rui asked: "I am Xu Rui, chief of staff of the headquarters. Who is your commander? Ask him to come see me immediately!"
"Comrade Xu Rui, I am Sandalov, Chief of Staff of the 20th Group Army." A small officer squeezed out of the crowd and came to Xu Rui and said.
Xu Rui said: "Comrade Sandalov, how is the situation now?"
Sandalov said: "Comrade Xu Rui, the situation is very bad now. Our headquarters was attacked by German special forces. Comrade Vlasov was captured by them. I also managed to escape with great difficulty. Now the 20th Army
It’s on the verge of collapse.”
Xu Rui said: "Comrade Sandalov, now concentrate all your strength and launch a counterattack with me. We must repel the Germans!"
"Okay, Comrade Xu Rui, I will assemble the team immediately!" Sandalov saw that Xu Rui's troops had more than a hundred tanks, and he had a backbone in his heart.
"Comrades, our reinforcements are coming. We are not cowards who can only run away. We are the Soviet Red Army. We must fight the enemy to the end, Ula!"
"Ula!"
Seeing reinforcements coming, including the most elite armored assault force of the Soviet Red Army, these soldiers immediately regained their fighting spirit. Sandalov led hundreds of soldiers to join the counterattack and fought hard forward.
"Attention, all vehicles, attack immediately and defeat all enemy forces encountered in front of you!" Xu Rui shouted through the vehicle radio.
Subsequently, more than a hundred tanks moved forward. Xu Rui began to see a dozen German tanks crushing them from a distance, chasing two to three hundred Soviet troops. The Soviet troops continued to fall under the attack of German tanks.
"Rush over and destroy them!"
Xu Rui shouted.
At this time, the German tanks also discovered the vanguard of the armored assault troops. Although the dozens of German tanks were outnumbered, they were not afraid at all. Relying on their quality advantage, they actually launched an attack on the armored assault troops.
Unfortunately, they met Xu Rui this time, and the dozen tanks in front of them were the T-34 tanks newly developed by the Soviet army. Compared with German tanks, this tank was not inferior in the slightest. At the moment, both sides
The tanks immediately started firing.
Xu Rui saw that the German tanks resisted for a while and began to gradually retreat after several were destroyed. However, the Soviet tanks continued to flow in, forming a huge advantage over the German tanks in terms of numbers, and the German tanks suffered heavy losses.
The remaining German tanks were so disastrous that they had no choice but to flee in the face of the Soviet tanks rushing in like a tide.
The two or three hundred Soviet troops immediately joined the counterattack at Sandalov's call. As a result, Sandalov had 400 soldiers under his command.
"go ahead!"
Xu Rui shouted, and once again led the tank troops to fight forward. Not long after walking, he saw a Soviet army of thousands of soldiers being chased by a German infantry force of only two to three hundred people.
Xu Rui took a look, immediately led the armored troops to rush forward, and launched an attack on the two to three hundred German troops.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
There was a burst of machine gun fire, and the German troops were shot one after another. The remaining German troops tried to form a line of defense. However, under the indiscriminate bombardment of tank guns, the hastily formed front line collapsed instantly.
The remaining German troops were scattered and were constantly chased and crushed by Soviet tanks.
Without any effort, Xu Rui's troops almost wiped out the German troops. At this time, Sandalov had completed the integration of the defeated Soviet troops. As a result, the Soviet army had a thousand
Multiple infantry, which greatly strengthens the strength of the armored assault force.
In this way, Xu Rui's armored assault force was like a sharp sword, constantly defeating the German troops encountered along the way, and was invincible!
The broken Soviet troops encountered on the road joined them one after another. Sandalov continued to integrate these broken troops and followed the tanks forward to launch a counterattack.
In this way, the Soviet counterattack team grew larger and larger like a snowball, and finally reached a scale of 10,000 people.
"Ula!"
Tens of thousands of Soviet troops let out loud shouts and shouted "Ula!" and launched a frantic counterattack against the German troops.
With tanks as the forerunner, they continuously defeated the invading German troops and gradually stabilized the front. With the addition of the Soviet 16th Army and the 19th Army, the Soviet army launched a comprehensive counterattack. However, the German army showed its exhaustion after a bloody night of fighting. In the end,
The Soviet army drove the German troops back.
Unknowingly, the battle line once again returned to its original starting point. Although the German army defeated the 20th Soviet Army that night, Xu Rui unknowingly reversed the passive situation of the Soviet army and drove the German army back.
point of departure.
When the dawn once again illuminated the earth, the battlefield that had been boiling all night became quiet again. This night, I don't know how many people shed blood and sacrificed, and I don't know how many people stayed up all night. The Soviet Union and Germany switched offense and defense, and invested huge efforts.
In the end, due to the addition of Xu Rui, the Germans failed.
On the southern front, six of the seven armored divisions of the German 2nd Armored Army suffered devastating blows. The 2nd Armored Army was severely weakened and could no longer launch new battles in a short period of time.
On the northern front, the German army first won and then lost, and was driven back to the starting point of the battle by the Soviet army. The Germans paid a huge price in the battle. Of course, the Germans did not gain nothing. Their biggest gain was the capture of the 20th Soviet Army unit.
Army Commander Lieutenant General Vlasov...
