The 20th, 2nd, 9th, and 18th Panzer Divisions, which had already been replenished with tanks and troops, took the lead; and the 6th, 292nd, and 86th Infantry Divisions. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, in order to give these troops, who had been fighting for two days and two nights, a little rest, so Moder let the 216th, 383rd, and 78th assault infantry divisions, under the cover of heavy artillery fire from 100 'Ferdinand' self-propelled guns, advance the forward troops at a rapid pace.

Behind them was the 505th Heavy Armored Battalion under the command of Major Swat, which was strongly supported by 30 new Tiger tanks.

Of course, he also selected half of the Leopard tank group of the 12th Panzer Regiment and the 26th Panzergrenadier Regiment from the 21,000-strong SS 12th Panzer Division to cooperate with the 505th Heavy Armored Battalion to pioneer and fire support.

Originally, Chen Yanlong's plan was to equip the SS 12th Armored Division with all the T-54 tanks he had exchanged, but in order to lure the enemy into deep combat, Chen Yanlong temporarily dispatched some Leopard tanks to the SS 12th Armored Division for temporary use.

Anyway, the current Chen Yanlong just asked Speer to only produce Leopard tanks and T-54 tanks; As for the materials for making these tanks, if they are not enough, they will do everything possible to buy them from the occupying powers, and even those sold on the black market will try to buy them back.

Of course, he can also use his smartphone to exchange them constantly, and now he doesn't need too many energy points to exchange these tanks, like the T-54 tank only needs 6 energy points to exchange for one, while the Tiger and Leopard tanks need 5 energy points to exchange for one.

So as long as there is still war, there are still casualties and energy points, then Chen Yanlong doesn't have to worry about weapons and equipment.

Of course, there is still an advantage to using the Tiger and Leopard for the first time on the Eastern Front this time, that is, to use their huge bodies and ferocious firepower to completely break through the positions of the Soviet army.

so that the infantry that spread out behind them, as well as the light and medium tanks, were less damaged and destroyed......

While Moder's troops were getting closer and closer to the Soviet positions, General Rokossovsky was anxious and waiting for the outcome of the artillery battle.

"How's our battle on the front lines? Is our battle loss rate out?"

As soon as he saw the commander of the 13th Soviet Army, Bukarov, come in, the commander of the Central Front, General Rokossovsky, immediately stepped forward and asked anxiously.

"1,000 artillery pieces and mortars, 60 rocket launchers, more than 100 tanks and self-propelled guns, 100 Katyusha rocket launchers, and more than 170 aircraft were destroyed by the Germans, and more than 10,000 soldiers were killed or wounded......"

Commander Bukarov replied with a solemn face.

"Grass you mud horse! These damned Germans! I'm going to annihilate them all! ”

It is no wonder that he was so angry, because this loss plus the loss of the day before yesterday had caused his 13th Army to suffer heavy losses in two days, at least half of the entire army group's tank units were destroyed, and all the weapons and equipment such as artillery and mortars were destroyed.

In the face of such a big loss, how can he not be angry and angry?

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault, if only I had been smart! It would not have been the Germans who destroyed so many of our artillery, planes and tanks, as well as so many dead and wounded soldiers! I'm willing to accept any punishment! Comrade Rokossovsky, no! It's the general's punishment! ”

Commander Bukarov said guiltily.

"What's the use of punishing you now! People are dead, weapons and equipment are destroyed, even if I kill you, will they still be able to come back? ”

General Rokossovsky said angrily.

"I'm sorry!"

Commander Bukarov bowed his head and continued to apologize in a good manner.

"Tell me why I sent you more than 6,000 pieces of artillery, and I couldn't destroy the artillery of Moder's 9th Army? And to the loss of such a heavy amount, what exactly happened I don't know! If you don't tell me honestly, I can't explain to Comrade Stalin and all the personnel of the Supreme Command, what will be the consequences, I'm sure you understand! ”

But even so, General Rokossovsky shouted in anger.

"It was because the Germans suddenly had an extra SS unit involved, and they were equipped with a lot of super powerful new weapons and equipment, so they caught us off guard! That's why there are so many loss situations! ”

Commander Bukarov told everything he knew about the real situation.

"Comrade Stalin, Comrade Zhukov, didn't I all tell you that we were going to use defensive positional warfare to first consume the living forces of the German army, and only after they were tired did we come to a large-scale counteroffensive, which was codenamed 'Operation Kutuzov'."

"Then why don't you listen to me? Do you know that there are more than 50,000 anti-tank mines, more than 20,000 anti-infantry mines, and large minefields in our defensive positions in Olikhovatka? And in order to be able to kill and injure those German troops in greater numbers, we carefully deployed countless anti-tank trenches, barriers, traps, etc.? ”

General Rokossovsky calmed down for a moment, stared at the other party, and then asked a series of rhetorical questions.

"I know our vast defense system is perfect! But the Germans seem to have known about the existence of our huge defense system, so they use artillery bombardment, mortar raids, grenades, and some remote-controlled tanks to destroy our minefields! ”

"Even if they feel that they are not sure of passing through our minefields, they will not attack directly, but will use guerrilla warfare, or send sappers to dig minefields at night, etc., to constantly clear our defenses, and this has been going on for a month."

"So the front-line positions of our 13th Army did not play their greatest role in the large-scale battles of the past two days!"

Commander Bukarov thought for a long time before timidly replied.

"You idiot! Why didn't you tell me about such an important thing in the morning! And when the enemy did this, didn't you send troops to stop and destroy them? Are you a spy of the German army? ”

After listening to Fu Fei's explanation, General Rokossovsky instantly burst into a rage and scolded.

In the face of General Rokossovsky's merciless invective, Commander Bukarov bowed his head in shame and did not dare to say a word.

In fact, he wanted to say in his heart, it's not that I didn't tell you, but I reported this to you, but you didn't pay attention to it at that time, because you always said that your troops were very strong, and you didn't need to be afraid of Moder's troops, and you were very proud to say that to annihilate Moder and his 9th Army was as simple and easy as stepping on an ant.

It's just that now we've been dabbed on by Modell, so you've forgotten what you've said and said and said with contempt.

Although in the heart of Commander Bukarov, there was such a complaint about General Rokossovsky; But he still pretended that his grandson was silent, because he knew that if he couldn't bear it and collided with the other party, then the consequences would be very miserable, and he would definitely not lose to the Stalinist purge.

And just when General Rokossovsky's scolding foamed at the mouth and made a big fuss; Suddenly, a herald walked in and reported to him a very urgent situation.

"What do you say! Moder's main forces are in full swing to launch a large-scale counterattack against us? ”

After listening to the herald's report, he was already emotionally out of control and irritable, and immediately roared with a volcanic eruption.

Seeing General Rokossovsky roaring with such a hideous face, the herald's legs suddenly went limp; Trembling all overwhelmed, his face bloodless and overwhelmed......
