The Red Russian offensive was first launched in the north of Kursk, and when the German offensive was stopped, the Red Russian army decided to launch an offensive and took the name of the Russian Marshal "Kutuzov", who defeated Napoleon's invasion, as the code name of the campaign. The Red Russian army www.biquge.info shelled the German positions in the Orel salient for more than two hours, after which the Western Front of General Sokorovsky and the front-line troops of the Bryansk Front of General Popov began to attack. The Germans put up stubborn resistance and inflicted heavy casualties on the Red Russians. The 70th, 13th and 48th armies of the Soviet Central Front, commanded by General Kossovsky, also joined the attack.

At this time, the Red Russian Air Force also completely controlled air supremacy, and the French "Normandy" air brigade also fought side by side with the Red Russian Air Force in the skies over Kursk. Unable to stop the offensive of the Red Russians, who were superior in tanks and troops, Moder realized that it was only a matter of time before he lost Orel. Moder asked the High Command to abandon Orel and retreat the Germans to the "Hagen" line, but was vetoed by the High Command. The Germans in the Orel Bulge were in danger of being encircled by the Red Russians, and after another request from Moder and Kruger to retreat, Field Marshal Brauchitsch finally agreed to abandon Orel and transfer the 2nd SS Panzer Corps to stabilize the situation in the south. The Germans retreated to the "Hagen" line in the direction of Bryansk, and on the way to retreat, the Germans pursued a brutal scorched earth policy. The Red Russian army conquered Oryol and continued to pursue the retreating German army, liberated Khotnets and entered Karachev, the offensive of the Red Russian army was basically over, and the front gradually stabilized.

In the Battle of Orel, the Red Russian army destroyed nearly 90,000 enemies, 500 tanks, 2,402 artillery pieces, and advanced 150 kilometers to the west, leveling the Kursk defense line, but failed to complete the plan formulated before the war to encircle and annihilate the German Army Group Center, and the losses of the Red Russian army were also huge, with 429,890 casualties, 2,586 tanks, 892 artillery pieces, and 1,104 aircraft.

On the southern front, when the German army and the Red Russian army disengaged, the bearded man asked the Red Russian army to launch a counteroffensive immediately, but Zhukov believed that after continuous hard fighting, before launching the offensive, the Red Russian army should make necessary supplements and repairs, so that the Red Russian army finally determined the date of the offensive, and the code name of this operation was named after the famous Russian general "Rumyantsev" in the Seven Years' War. The offensive was tasked with the Voronezh Front and the Steppe Front, with a total strength of 900,000 men and more than 2,800 tanks and self-propelled guns.

Nearly 10,000 artillery pieces of the Red Russian army fired in unison, a large number of shells were dumped on the German positions, and the shelling lasted for more than two hours, and finally ended with a salvo of Katyusha rocket artillery, and then tanks and infantry began to attack. The German soldiers who survived the shelling were unable to stop the advance of the Red Russian army, and the Red Russian army soon broke through the first line of defense of the German army, and after a day of fighting, the assault groups of the Red Russian army advanced an average of 10~15 kilometers to the depth of the German army. In the following days of fighting, the German defense was unusually stubborn, and although the Red Russian tanks continued to break through, the infantry was entangled by the Germans and made slow progress. The capture of Borisov by the Soviet 1st Tank Army cut off the retreat of Tomarovkad's 255th, 332nd Infantry and 19th Panzer Divisions, but they broke through at the cost of only 2,000 men, although the division commander was killed. Their stubborn resistance and victorious breakthrough bought time for Manstein to withdraw the main German forces from Belgorod to Kharkov. The Red Russian army recaptured Belgorod, occupied the logistics supply base of the German rear Bogodukhov, and captured a large amount of German supplies and fuel.

As the Red Russian tank corps advanced quickly and the infantry was busy clearing the encircled German troops, the tank units and infantry of the Red Russian army had begun to become disconnected. Manstein wanted to take advantage of this weakness of the Red Russian army, and he began to retreat systematically to buy time to gather forces, and when the Red Russian offensive energy gradually ran out, he carried out a counterattack. At this time, Vatutin was very optimistic about the situation, believing that the German army was on the verge of collapse, and he ordered the front-line tank units to continue the offensive, cutting the railway line from Kharkov to Poltava and preventing the Germans from escaping.

The Germans had been assembled and replenished with sufficient ammunition and fuel, and Manstein began a counteroffensive, while the tank units of the Red Russian Army were still in a state of pursuit, and the units were widely dispersed, while the infantry and artillery were still in the rear, and after many days of fierce fighting, ammunition and fuel were seriously insufficient, and more importantly, the Red Russian Army was unaware of the German attack. The Red Russian army is repeating the mistakes of the battle in Kharkiv 5 months ago. The 49th Tank Brigade and the 17th Tank Regiment of the 1st Tank Army of Red Russia were surrounded and annihilated by the Germans, and the timely arrival of the 5th Guards Tank Army avoided the total annihilation of the 1st Tank Army. Under the attack of the German army, the Red Russian army was forced to retreat, and then the 6th Tank Army of the 6th Guards Army of the Soviet Union was surrounded by the Germans and completely annihilated.

Both sides suffered heavy losses, and although the German counterattack inflicted heavy losses on the Red Russians, Manstein did not have the strength to further expand the gains, and the numerical superiority of the Red Russians again played a decisive role, and they soon resumed the offensive. The subsequent German counteroffensive never again posed a threat to the Red Russians. The Red Russian army reached the north bank of the Uda River west of Kharkov and forcibly crossed the Ud River, establishing a bridgehead on the south bank. The battle for Kharkov was extremely fierce, and the powerful Soviet 5th Guards Tank Army ended up with only 50 tanks left. The Red Russian 53rd Army was the first to enter the city, and the Germans began to fully withdraw from Kharkov and retreat to the Dnieper line, destroying all roads, railways and bridges, polluting water sources, burning all crops, and destroying buildings along the way. Red Russian army recaptured Kharkov. In the Belgorod-Kharkiv campaign, the Red Russian army destroyed about 300,000 enemies and suffered losses of 255,566 men, 1,864 tanks, 423 artillery pieces, and 153 aircraft.

In the Battle of Kursk, the Germans lost more than 70,000 troops, about 248 tanks, and 900 aircraft. The Red Russian army also paid an even heavier price for the Battle of Kursk, losing more than 180,000 troops, 6,800 tanks, 5,244 artillery pieces, and 3,500 aircraft. The Kursk battlefield is littered with the wreckage of hundreds of charred tanks and planes, as well as countless corpses. The difference between the two sides is that the Red Russian army was still able to open the defensive line and launch a full-scale counteroffensive according to the plan despite suffering huge losses, while the German army on the Eastern Front in Europe was no longer able to turn the tide of the entire Eastern Front on its own.

As far as the Red Russian Army's combat readiness for this campaign is concerned, the Battle of Kursk is better than any previous large-scale counteroffensive campaign, and at the time of the Battle of Moscow, the Red Russian Army only had 17 small combined armies of various arms participating in the battle, and there was no tank army; At the time of the Battle of Kursk, a total of 22 powerful combined armies of various arms, 5 tank armies and 6 air force armies, as well as a large number of long-range aviation units participated. The Red Russian Army had a 2.4 to 1 advantage in strength over the German 9th and 2nd Armies, the 4th Panzer Army and the Kempf Group, and a 1.9 to 1 advantage in tanks, with a defensive depth of 250-300 kilometers, and could also be supported by about 2,900 aircraft of the 1st, 2nd, 5th, 15th, 16th, and 17th armies of the Air Force. In terms of force composition, the artillery regiment outnumbered the infantry regiment for the first time, with a ratio of 1.5:1, and on the front of the 13th Army, the most threatening Central Front, it could be supported by 148 guns per mile of defensive front, far more than the Germans had cobbled together to launch an offensive. In addition, Sokolovsky's Western Front, Popov's Bryansk Front, as well as the 57th Army and the 2nd Tank Army of the Southwestern Front were deployed to the Kursk region in order to cope with the complex situation that could arise at any time.

In terms of the military industry, by the twenty-second year of the Taichu Dynasty, the Russian arms industry of the Red Army, which had been relocated to the Urals, finally began to reach and exceed the pre-war level.

The strategic offensive launched by the German army against the Red Russia wanted to attack from the north and south from the center, encircle and annihilate the Red Russian army in the central salient and regain the strategic initiative, but because the Red Russian army had done a good job of strict defense and garrisoned an extremely large number of troops, the German offensive was slow and suffered heavy losses, because Italy on the southern front was landed by the Allies in Sicily, and had to withdraw troops to defend Italy and was forced to retreat. After this battle, the Red Russian army launched a series of giant offensives to annihilate a large number of German forces and drive out of the territory of Red Russia, the German army can no longer pose a mortal threat to the Red Russian army, and the Soviet army completely grasps the initiative on the Soviet-German battlefield.

Just when the Red Russian Army was still clearing the remnants of the German army and the Ukrainian People's Liberation Army that had slipped through the net, a piece of news that shocked them overshadowed the victory of the Battle of Kursk, and the Chinese Defense Forces launched the "Dawn" operation on August 24, the 22nd year of the Taichu Dynasty, this time the 350,000 infantry of the Russian army on the eastern front will face 410,000 elite troops of the 4 group armies of the Chinese Defense Forces, as well as thousands of advanced fighters and the "Snow Leopard" main battle tank that they have never seen.

The beginning of the war on the Eastern Front did not preface it with countless rockets and artillery shells thrown on the positions of the Russian army, but the Chinese National Defense Forces gave the world a glimpse of what a modern "blitzkrieg" is. 4 air cavalry regiments, more than 800 "Pathfinder" helicopter gunships and "Companion" transport helicopters, 4 army aviation wings equipped with the latest A4 "Scythe" attack aircraft, such luxury air armament is not inferior even to the air force of the Russian army on the Eastern Front, specially used to clean up ground strongholds and fortifications, armored force assembly points, etc., in the Royal Air Force to control absolute air supremacy, early warning aircraft at any time in the sky monitoring, B6 "Whirlwind" bombers and B7 "Yinpeng" strategic bombers shuttle by, When several railways and highways of Red Russia were almost impassable, bridges, culverts, camps, oil depots, factories, and even a complete building and a flat lawn would become targets, and the ground troops had not yet been dispatched, and the Eastern Front of Red Russia had already shown a tendency to collapse, and the casualties were even higher than in a tragic blocking battle. And Manstein, Moder, Kruger, Guderian and others who were observing in the Northern Dispatch Army Command finally saw that the original blitzkrieg could still bully people like this, but seeing the old opponent defeat so vulnerable, it made these senior generals of the German army secretly worried, if they faced the all-out attack of the Chinese Defense Forces, how long could Germany support it even if it was a national effort? .
