April 22 was an extremely embarrassing day for the Soviet Union, making enemies almost overnight. At the same time as the German all-out offensive against Bialystok at two o'clock in the morning, the Turkish army also began a large-scale offensive into the Caucasus and engaged in a bloody battle with the Soviet defenders in the Caucasus.

At the moment, Bialystok is still under fire, and the dense gunfire resounds in every corner of the city.

Based on past experience, Witte had long expected that the Soviets would set up an ambush at the crossroads, so he quickly exchanged glances with Schumacher and Schmidt, rolled on the spot, dodged the bullets fired from the second floor, and then turned back and fired upwards to suppress the Soviets in the window.

"Let's go!" Hank shouted, and the five of them also took the opportunity to rush through the street and join Witt and the others. When the Soviets were suppressed by the fire of Werther and others and could not raise their heads, Bayer and Huth quickly threw a wooden-handled grenade into the window of the second floor, and with two loud bangs, the Soviets and their guns were blown to pieces.

Werther gave the two men a thumbs up, quickly pulled them into cover, and continued their search along the pillars on either side of the street.

At this moment, the rumbling sound of a tank motor was heard behind him, and in the hazy night, with the help of the flicker of artillery fire, Lorenz was pleasantly surprised to find that it was Lieutenant Speer.

"Hey—we're here!" Lorenz called with all his might, but his voice was so muffled by artillery fire that Speer could not hear it.

Conrad was in a hurry, and hurriedly dodged out and beckoned to the tank.

"Come back!" Werther was quick-eyed, and at the same time as the dense bullets came in, he dragged Conrad behind the ruined wall.

"Bastard! Damn it! They should see us. Conrad still doesn't seem to be aware of the danger, and only wants to get the tank back.

"Alright, brothers, we're on our own. See, there's a hidden fire point in front of you, it's clear that they've spotted us, now, we're going to take it out first! With his back against the remnant wall, Witt gave a hand command to everyone.

Schumacher walked around from the left with Lorenz and Bayer, and Schmidt with Konrad and Huter from the right. Witt and Hank, on the other hand, drew the attention of the Soviets in their place, making provocative moves from time to time.

The Soviet army thought that Werther and others were suppressed, and deliberately flirted with a cold gun on the left, a cold gun on the right, and occasionally a shuttle.

Suddenly, Schumacher, Lorenz and Bayer, armed with submachine guns, suddenly appeared on the side of the Soviet firing point, and a burst of fire killed several Soviet soldiers. At this moment, several other Soviet soldiers hiding in the house behind them realized that the situation was wrong, poked their heads out to observe, and were immediately killed by Schmidt, who caught up from behind.

Witt gave them a thumbs up, and then ran over with Hank......

Bialystok is a city built on the water, with small lakes and parks. When Werther led the group to attack and destroy all the remnants of the Soviet army along the way, a small water park blocked their way, while the Soviets blocked all the roads across the park with machine guns from several directions south of the park.

"Don't go out yet!" Witt stopped everyone and said, "It's very dangerous here, such a large area of open land, it's a live target to go out." ”

"If it doesn't work, we'll get around here and plug in somewhere else." Hank said, wiping the blood from his bayonet.

"I don't agree to get around! What do we do with three battalions and one company? That's the scavenger! If you do not destroy the remnants of the Soviet army, you will be derelict in your duty, and you will leave a scourge! "Hutter is not in favor of a detour.

"Yes, I agree with Hutter." Lorenz stepped forward and said.

"You have to make it clear that our mission is to take out the division headquarters command post of the 191st Division, which will delay time." Hank exclaimed.

"General Rommel did not ask us when we would complete the task, but to work intensively, and if we encounter difficulties, we will give up, is this also called intensive farming?" Lorenz retorted.

"Okay brothers, we have to pass this level no matter what, even if everyone agrees to go around, I'm afraid we can't get around, let's come and see ......"

Witt opened the map and found that the small lake in the park was connected to a small river more than ten meters wide that ran through the city, leading to the outside of the city, and there were three sturdy stone arch bridges leading to the opposite block. The problem is that the bridge deck certainly cannot be passed directly, and it is not clear what is going on under the bridge.

"Damn! Without the cover of tanks, it was difficult for us to pass. Schumacher looked very anxious.

"Armored vehicles cannot clear the city of the remnants of the enemy, these meticulous work is the task of our infantry, listen, each of us must be ready to sacrifice at any time, never let go of every corner." Werther knew very well in his heart that to spare any remnant of the enemy was to leave a scourge behind.

Through reconnaissance and mapping, Geihard Rommel determined that the tactics of luring the enemy to attack and interspersing the enemy in two ways were indeed effective and good tactics for the battle for Bialystok, but because most of the areas around the city were swampy areas with water networks, which were not suitable for corps operations, there was no way to remedy any problems in one of the links, which was also a practical problem faced by the attacking troops.

The battle for Bialystok began at 2 a.m. on the 22nd and had lasted nearly four hours, and for such a small city, Hoffman was not in a hurry to limit the length of time for his troops to occupy it, but considered two reasons.

First of all, it is necessary to use Bialystok to actually train troops, put their skills to the test, and sum up lessons and lessons. After all, most of the "Barbarossa Plan" is a tough battle, and it is mainly in large and medium-sized cities. The second was to complete the encirclement of Warsaw by the way, so that the Soviet troops who invaded Poland became a turtle in an urn.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the German and Soviet sides were still in a fierce battle, the artillery sound in the west was slowly thinning, and the battle to encircle and annihilate the third regiment of the 191st Soviet Division was almost underway. According to General Rommel's pre-war deployment, the first battalion of the 982nd regiment will jointly participate in the battle to clear out the remnants of the enemy in the urban area after completing its mission, which is a great encouragement to the second and third battalions.

In urban street fighting, heavy weapons were completely useless, and the Germans had to pay heavy casualties for every step forward. At this time, the battle to attack one of the first regiments of the Soviet 191st Division from the east of the city was also very stalemate, but with the successful penetration of the third battalion and the second company of the 982nd regiment, the Soviet army in the east had formed a situation of encirclement.

In contrast, the Soviet troops in the north of the city had become frightened, and had long lost their unified command under the fierce attack of the German army, and some of the remnants of the enemy had retreated to the division headquarters north of the central square.

Due to the two-sided assault of Speer and Siegfried tank troops, most of the fortifications and roadblocks in the city were devastated, and the Soviets could only rely on buildings and roadways to resist stubbornly.

Now, Vdorov, the commander of the 191st Soviet Division, could only temporarily block the German infantry attack with the help of the Biava River in the city, and wait for reinforcements from the large forces stationed in Warsaw. What Vdorov did not expect was that the city's communication facilities to the outside world had long been destroyed by the Germans, and Bialystok had become an isolated Jedi.

Speer's tank assault was very rapid, and although it encountered sporadic resistance from Soviet anti-tank weapons, it was only a thrill, because although Soviet-made anti-tank weapons had strong lethality, they were restricted by their insufficient aiming accuracy and slow secondary reloading.

On the south bank of the Biava River was the headquarters of the 191st Soviet Division, and the first company of Witte had to make a breakthrough in the park, otherwise it would not be able to reach the central square.

Soviet bullets fired from three directions covered the entire area, and mortars were constantly inflicting frantic strikes on the assault troops. Seeing that the sky was almost dawn, Witte asked Schmidt to lead Laurenz, Hank and Huth to carry out a second attack, and he and Schumacher led Konrad and Bayer to carry out the first sneak attack from under the bridge, and the two teams alternated cover in the attack.

Schmidt, Hank, and Schumacher resolutely disagreed with Werther's arrangement, and everyone fought back and forth, and finally had to redeploy, with Schumacher leading Konrad, Lorenc, and Bayer as the first team to carry out the raid.

At 7:30 a.m., when it was already dawn, Witte led Hank, Schmidt and Huth to suppress the defenders on the other side of the river, and Schumacher and others quickly brought grenades and submachine guns to advance under the cover of the evergreen trees in the park and approached the bridgehead.

Because it was spring, the snow melted upstream and the Vistula River began to rise, and the water in the small river was very fast. Schumacher was the first to jump into the river, then reached out to meet the others.

The icy water made Lorenz frown quietly, and then the four of them swam under the pier and swam to the opposite bank.

The Soviets seemed to have guessed that the Germans would rely on the cover of the stone arch bridge to smuggle out, and began to shoot frantically under the bridge. Suddenly, the water under the bridge splashed and shrapnel flew sideways.
