"Bomber!" Looking at the approaching enemy planes in the sky, the Soviet soldiers on the ground screamed loudly.

They basically did not have many anti-aircraft weapons, and most of the Soviet anti-aircraft guns were lost in the Moscow theater of operations.

Almost two-thirds of the newly produced anti-aircraft guns remained in key areas such as Stalingrad. The rest were divided among more than 5 million Soviet troops......

Therefore, the troops that can enjoy the cover of anti-aircraft guns are basically the main force among the main forces.

"Air raids! Air raid! A Soviet soldier shouted as he honked the air raid siren in front of him.

The harsh sound echoed in the sky again. They had just been attacked by a few Stuka dive bombers a few hours earlier, and it wasn't a pleasant feeling.

"Not Stuka?" The commander of the Soviet regiment, who was stationed at the front line, pressed the pistol on his waist, and put his other hand on his eyebrows and looked at the sky.

This is the position of the 1st Regiment of the 56th Guards Rifle Division of the Soviet Army, and the 2nd and 3rd Regiments are next to it, with a total strength of more than 16,000 troops.

Although the heavy armament was not neat, in terms of numbers, the division with the number of guards still had an advantage over other infantry divisions.

At this moment, the regimental commander recognized the Stuka dive bomber with the wings of the Seagull, but this time it was clearly not the Stuka that came, but a larger twin-engine bomber.

"It's a horizontal bomber......" he muttered, and a hint of unease rose inexplicably from the bottom of his heart.

In the past, the Germans generally used this kind of large bomber to attack cities and large transportation hubs. It is rare to fly to such a field position now.

"Let the soldiers hide! Find a way to find cover! Such an aircraft may carry a larger bomb, but the bomb is not as accurate as the Stuka! "Putting down his palms and turning his head sideways, the commander of the Soviet regiment said the enemy plane's own commissar.

After a while, the plane overhead dropped a series of black dots, because of the altitude, the huge bomb was still "small black dots" when it broke away from the bomb bay of the German plane.

Then, these little black dots began to grow larger, and finally they were so big that they were frightening, and they landed on the Soviet positions.

"Bang!" A bomb smashed into the Soviet trench and stuck in the soft soil, leaving only the rear tail exposed.

The Soviet soldiers looked desperately at the huge bomb at their feet, and the expressions on their faces were wonderful.

Just as he finally remembered to step back, the bomb exploded suddenly, splattering countless violently burning liquids.

"Ahh The Soviet soldiers, who were sprayed by the flames, only had time to let out a scream before they were drowned in the tumbling and jumping flames.

Before the surrounding Soviet soldiers had time to escape, they were wrapped in the same incendiary material. They subconsciously struggled twice, and then they were burned to charcoal and fell to the ground motionless.

The Soviet soldiers, who were far away from the explosion, watched their comrades near the bomb struggle frantically in the flames, and their hearts rose with boundless fear.

Unfortunately, before they could flinch, the steaming air made it difficult for them to breathe.

Oxygen was violently consumed by the combustion, and people in the vicinity of the fire began to die of suffocation due to lack of oxygen. Because there were so many flames burning here, the number of Soviet soldiers suffocated to death began to increase.

Even if there is still room to breathe, the flames that linger after sticking to them are still harvesting the lives of nearby Soviet soldiers.

The position held by an infantry regiment was completely destroyed in this explosion and burning.

"It's the new weapon of the Germans! It's the kind of bomb that is being used on a large scale in Moscow! Putting down the binoculars and pointing to the billowing smoke in the distance, the commander of the 6th Guards Tank Division gritted his teeth and roared.

It has long been no secret that the Germans are throwing new weapons into Moscow. At that time, Moscow had just been surrounded, and it was far from being in chaos, so a lot of information about the German army came back.

And the kind of new weapons that blocked Moscow's lines of communication and finally completed the encirclement of Moscow naturally became a terrifying existence known to the Soviet army.

Since the Germans moved south, the Luftwaffe has not used this weapon, and Zhukov even rejoiced, at one time believing that this weapon was relatively difficult to produce, and the Germans would not have too many of them.

But now, seeing his forward positions burning under the attack of this "new weapon", the commander of the 6th Guards Tank Division still couldn't help but be confused.

"What about the 56th Guards Division? That's their position, can you contact them and confirm the damage? He asked, looking helplessly at his liaison officer.

"I'm sorry, Comrade Division Commander! We've been trying to contact the 56th Division, but we can't! The liaison officer said helplessly.

Smoke was still billowing from the battlefield, and the flames could not be extinguished naturally for a moment. The wheat fields had long been lit, and the smoke obscured the view from the sky.

The German bombers were returning home, but they couldn't see where they had bombed.

It was now covered in smoke, and not even a hint of the ground was visible. Similarly, on the ground, you can't see the sky overhead.

In fact, no one will look up at the sky overhead, and the Soviets on the positions will either be burned alive or suffocated in the smoke.

The headquarters of the 56th Guards Infantry Division was also bombed, and now there is a sea of fire.

In addition, the positions of the 1 regiment also suffered heavy losses because they were on the bombing route. Almost 2,000 people died as a result of direct attacks by German napalm.

Among the remaining people, more than 1,000 were wounded and had to withdraw from the fighting. Moreover, the injuries of these wounded are difficult to control, and eighty percent of the wounded soldiers cannot escape the call of death in the end.

And all this has to be ranked after one question: after losing so many troops, how to defend the position of the 56th Guards Division?

In fact, it was impossible to defend it, and after being attacked by napalm, the remaining Soviet troops began to retreat.

They had to abandon their original positions and rout in the direction where the 6th Guards Tank Division was located. The defensive line that was originally going to hold for 3 days completely collapsed in 4 hours.

And after the flames gradually died out, the Germans captured these charred positions. They continued to push south, towards the city in the distance.

Just a few kilometers away in the direction they were advancing was the first real line of defense held by the Soviets, Svoboda.

Not far behind Svoboda, the famous Kursk.
