The massive body of the KV-1 heavy tank moved slowly, and the solid tracks crushed the street, and the whole street shook.

The massive turrets swayed from side to side, as if to examine the buildings lining the streets, and the power of the six KV-1 heavy tanks made the city tremble.

Each KV-1 tank was followed by seven or eight infantrymen, dodging, taking small steps, and approaching the Dnieper River under the cover of the KV-1's body.

Farther behind them, more infantry pushed Makqin heavy machine guns and 45mm and 76.2mm anti-tank guns, ready to support the battle ahead.

In the eyes of the Soviet soldiers, with the support of the indestructible KV-1 heavy tanks, any German troops in the way would be crushed, and it only took one assault to drive the Germans down the river, and it was a battle without suspense.

The progress of the battle was also as expected by the Soviet soldiers, and the Germans encountered along the way, whether they were hiding in various houses, or hiding in dark corners such as bushes, all the German soldiers exposed to the eyes of the KV-1 driver were violently treated by high-explosive shells, and the KV-1 tanks left behind collapsed houses, patches of blood-stained land, and groups of fleeing backs.

Catching up with the Germans, the Soviet infantry shouted and rushed to the river.

"Driving the Germans down the river"

"Let them take a cold shower on the Dnieper."

Some Soviet infantry shouted loudly.

Accompanied by noisy shouting, the banks of the Dnieper came into their sight.

"Comrades, just push harder and rush past the last two hundred meters, and the Germans will be finished. For the great Soviets, for Stalin. Ulla. An officer shouted brandishing a revolver, his putty-stained face full of excitement.

The loud charge of "Ula Ula" came and went, and the turbulent Dnieper River also set off waves, as if it was following the cry of a decisive battle.

Unlike the menacing Soviet troops, the Germans were forced to retreat to the river, and they did not say a word. Just huddled in a small riverside position, organized by officers and non-commissioned officers, each looking for positions and setting up machine guns.

The riflemen also reached for the grenade, unscrewed the cap, pulled out the fuse, and then placed the grenade in the position that was most convenient for them.

In the hands of the soldiers of the anti-tank group, the tank killer bazooka and the iron fist pointed at the KV-1 tank, although it has been cornered, all combat preparations on the German position are still in order.

The moment the earth-shattering Ulla sounded. On the German positions on the east bank of the Dnieper, two green signal flares shot straight into the sky, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

When the first KV-1 turned around a gray two-story building and appeared in the eyes of the German soldiers, and the Soviet infantry behind them rushed to the river with a stabbed Mo (touch) Xin (heart) Na (take) Gan (liver) rifle, and rushed to the river, on the west bank of the Dnieper, there was a thunderous shelling from the artillery positions of the 9th Panzer Division.

The long-dormant artillery roared again. Rain down flames and steel into Soviet-controlled cities.

The Soviet troops in the charge were instantly covered with heavy artillery fire, houses, bushes, tanks and infantry. Everything the German soldiers saw was surrounded by smoke and flames.

Countless Soviet infantry were killed by sharp shrapnel and fell to the ground, then shattered by the falling shells, and the fragments were quickly covered by the earth kicked up by the explosion.

The shells had no eyes, because the distance between the two sides was so close that a small number of soldiers at the front of the German positions were mistakenly wounded by their own artillery.

Although a small number of friendly troops were mistakenly wounded, the momentum of the Soviet offensive was successfully drowned out by heavy artillery fire.

Among the surviving Soviet troops. The Soviet troops, who were on the edge of artillery cover, turned around and fled, and the Soviet troops, who had nowhere to flee, had to find their own concealment.

The steel of the KV-1 heavy tank was so dazzling in the overwhelming artillery fire that only one of the six tanks was damaged by the shells that exploded next to it. The tracks fell off and had to break down on the battlefield, the remaining five tanks ran like headless flies under artillery fire, and three tanks panicked and crashed straight into the German position.

A few figures flashed from the embankment by the river, and it was none other than the German anti-tank team, crouching to their feet despite the danger of being hit by shrapnel from artillery shells, and the tank killer bazookas and iron fists in their hands sprayed fire.

The warhead hit the body of the KV-1 tank, and the hot metal jet burned holes in the body and shot into the cabin, mercilessly killing the tankers inside.

Under the "side knock and side attack" of the German soldiers, two KV-1 heavy tanks were destroyed one after another and paralyzed in the German positions.

While the German anti-tank team was besieging the two KV-1 tanks, one of the killers silently targeted the third KV-1 tank, a tank destroyer No. 4 crouched on the west bank of the Dnieper.

This No. 4 tank destroyer followed the German infantry into the city, provided fire support for the infantry in the street fighting, and rushed straight to the Dnieper River, but was cut off by Soviet artillery fire, and could only hide in a bush on the west bank of the Dnieper River and wait for the Soviet artillery to stop, but across the river witnessed the scene of comrades on the east bank being surrounded and driven to the river.

The commander, Sergeant Brandt, immediately decided to support the friendly forces on the other side, and the No. 4 tank destroyer turned around, its gun swinging slightly, and the first target it aimed at was the massive and dazzling KV-1 tank.

In less than half a minute, the combat vehicle commanded by Sergeant Brandt fired two crisp shelling sounds, gray-white gunpowder smoke rose from the bushes, and two 75-mm armor-piercing shells flew out of the barrel at a speed of 850 meters per second, flew over the Dnieper River in an instant, spun and crashed into the body of the KV-1 tank, and cut two bullet holes in the steel plate on the right side of the tank's turret to destroy it.

Sergeant Brandt knew that in a crisis situation, the power of one of his tanks was insignificant, and he needed more powerful forces to support friendly forces on the other side.

After some radio contact, four tank destroyers drove around houses and rubble piles to the Dnieper River, facing the battlefield on the east bank.

Fifteen minutes later, the German shelling stopped, and the Soviet infantry left their hideouts in shock, regrouped to the shouts of the officers, and prepared to attack.

On the No. 4 tank destroyer, the crisp shelling sound of the 75mm L60 gun rang out one after another, and the high-explosive shells crossed the Dnieper River one after another, falling on the Soviet machine-gun positions, infantry assembly areas, or houses occupied by Soviet troops.

With the call of the radio, more and more German tanks drove to the river, across the river to support the battle on the opposite bank, and the terrain of the Dnieper River in the west and low in the east provided excellent visibility for the German tanks.

Under the direct attack of German artillery fire, the Soviet infantry was never able to gather troops, the attack could not be launched for a long time, and the battle on the river bank became a stalemate for a while.

Unlike in the city, in the wilderness south of the river in Dubrovno, with the crossing of the river by the 503rd heavy armored battalion, the battle to break out of the bridgehead and break through the Dnieper defense line began
