Chapter 1175: Entering Minsk (Gagen 1)

As a fierce battle was about to come, Karyus slipped back into his turret, kept his eyes on his night vision goggles, and looked ahead, for some reason, he always had some strange feelings.

It's not like it, it's too quiet, it's as quiet as no one, and this is also the time when people are the most nervous, is the other side ready to kill the big weapon, just waiting for their own side?

The speed of the tank is not fast, in this offensive queue, it is almost the same as a person, and behind the tank, there is a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, at this time, the soldiers in the infantry fighting vehicle have jumped out of the car and accompanied the tank.

In this kind of night attack, it is easy for the tanks to hit the opponent's path, and it is much better to have infantry to follow.

Infantry coordination is a subject that needs to be cooperated, after all, the blind spot of the tank is too big, and the blind spot at night is even more terrifying, in case the infantry accidentally enters the blind zone of the tank, accidental injury may occur.

Now, the infantrymen were separated by several meters from the tank, and even began to stand side by side with the tank, and they could already see the trenches ahead.

At this distance, if there is an enemy on the other side, they should start fighting back?

The infantry were also very strange, so they carried their assault rifles and ran forward quickly, past their own tanks, and ran towards the trenches on the other side.

At the beginning, they were still running in a zigzag to prevent being hit by the other party, but they were all fifty meters away, and there was not a single gunshot on the opposite side, which was absolutely unusual.

They couldn't help but continue to run forward, and rushed to the edge of the trench in one go.

Sure enough, the trenches were empty, and there was no one at all!

The defenders on the positions on the outskirts of Minsk, have been evacuated!

According to the general opinion, it was most convenient to resist the German attack outside the city, and now that the outskirts of the city have disappeared, are the Soviets planning to fight in the streets?

In an instant, the German infantry boiled, they were in position, cheering loudly.

"The Soviets retreated, the Soviets retreated!"

Karyus looked unwilling and retreated? Gearing up, I wanted to fight on the periphery, but I actually punched the cotton.

The Minsk defenders retreated from their positions on the outskirts of the city.

Pavlov again made a serious mistake, Pavlov, having an order from Moscow, ordered the Soviet troops in the Bialystok salient to retreat.

According to Pavlov's order, a day and a half has passed, and those troops should have withdrawn from the salient, Pavlov underestimated the ability of his troops to move and transfer, and in his eyes, those intact troops should have withdrawn quite easily.

Moreover, his contact with these units was completely severed.

In this era, communication was mainly by radio, and under the radio interference of the Germans, coupled with the fact that the troops were in the process of being transferred, they could not stop and send reports, which led to the complete disconnection between Pavlov and the troops.

In fact, before the troops retreated, the communication was not very smooth, and now the contact is even more difficult.

Pavlov was still optimistic, according to his orders, those troops should have jumped out of the encirclement, and now, near Minsk, a large number of German tank units suddenly appeared.

So, Pavlov was stupid again.

Moscow agreed to the withdrawal of the troops of the Western Special Military District, just to avoid being surrounded and annihilated by the Germans, and the troops on the outskirts of Minsk, which are also an important military force of the Soviets, will definitely not be able to stop the attack of the German tank forces, so simply withdraw them.

In the wilderness, the German tanks were invincible, and if they remained outside, they could only be destroyed by the Germans, and it was better to stick to the interior of the city of Minsk.

Pavlov then withdrew all the troops near Minsk, and his mistake made many people thankful, and almost all of these troops survived and were not surrounded and wiped out by the Germans.

However, they took the initiative to abandon the outskirts of Minsk, but dug a hole for the rest of the troops, because the movements of those troops were not as fast as imagined, and they were all still in the encirclement!

If they were on the outskirts and held back the Germans for a few days, the troops in the encirclement could still rush out, and now, they took the initiative to retreat to the interior of Minsk, in order to preserve their strength, and thought that street fighting worked?

A unit that only knows how to retreat will not be able to fight hard. Their morale has been weakened.

In fact, in the vicinity of Minsk, there were originally a large number of troops, but, in the previous command, Pavlov transferred them to the front line, hoping to increase the strength of the army in the salient, so that those armies in the salient could launch a counteroffensive, and as a result, the forces in the area near Minsk were empty, otherwise, the German army would not have easily reached Minsk.

Especially since the anti-tank forces were mobilized, the defenders of Minsk were unlikely to be able to withstand the German armoured forces in the wilderness.

One stupidity is enough, stupidity after another, and in the end Pavlov was shot, which is definitely not wronged, and if it had been commanded by Zhukov, the result would have been definitely different.

"Rush, let's rush into the city in one go!" When he understood what was in front of him, Karyus immediately shouted to his driver.

At the same time, in his headphones, there was also an order from the regiment commander to continue the attack and rush to the city in one go!

So, in the darkness of the night, tanks, mixed with a large number of infantry, went out towards the city, they crossed the fortifications, and easily arrived in the city of Minsk.

"Target, five hundred meters ahead, street fortifications, grenades." With the help of his night vision devices, Karyus gave orders.

In Minsk, there are arrangements such as the machine-gun position in the center of the road, which will cost anyone who wants to attack along the street.

Now that the other side still did not fire, probably knowing that there was no way to deal with the tank at such a distance, Karyus calmly gave the order.

"Boom!" The fire from the muzzle of the cannon illuminated the entire street, making people temporarily blind and unable to see clearly, and the machine gunners, who were on standby, sat behind the heavy machine guns, and planned to fight bravely and tenaciously.

Unfortunately, before he could fire, there was a light in front of him, and then a terrible explosion sounded around him.

"Clear."

Behind the tanks, accompanied by the infantry, little by little, moved forward, and in the buildings on both sides of the street, the enemy would appear at any time, and they would fire fiercely with their 6.8mm rifles at any time.

"Da-da-da-da." A soldier with a gun in his hand opened fire on the second floor in front, and on the roof, a gunman fell.

The east has revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly.
