One of the light tanks of the Soviet army was hit and caught fire. The top cover of the tank opened, and three figures in black jumpsuits quickly jumped out one after another. The tankmen scattered and ran away, lying down, and at that moment, fire and smoke rushed out from the top of the hit tank. From a distance, the turret of the tank flew away as if a hat had been blown off a man's head.

The advance tank batteries had stormed the city, and the German tanks were meeting them head-on, returning fire. The Soviet "T-26" light tanks and "BT-7" fast tanks were mostly hit, and more and more were burned or stopped. But the "T-34" tank and the "KV" heavy tank were not afraid of German tank fire in the slightest. Major General Lukashenko stared closely at the two "KV-220" tanks and two "T-150" tanks that rushed ahead. The four tanks were in a no-man's land, tearing down the ruins and rolling through the streets of the city center that ran through the city to the banks of the river, firing fire incessantly. Almost every shell hits and destroys the target. Several German tanks and several artillery pieces also fired back at these four tanks. Major General Lukashenko could see clearly that the shells were like balls of leather that had been ricocheted back by the armor of these heavy tanks, and that a few tiny pieces of metal had burrowed into the thick steel plates, embedded there like jagged bad teeth.

Thick smoke billowed from the battlefield, obscuring the sky and the sun. Thick smoke spread across the city, and the Germans hurried back to the west bank of the river under the cover of this smoke.

Major General Lukashenko, who could hear the voice of Colonel Maksimov's order, was on the observation post platform next to him, through the radio station, ordered the tank regiment and the tank company rushing in front to occupy the bridge over the river, hold on to the right bank of the river, and ensure that the infantry would seize the landing ground. The German artillery battery fired at the Soviet tanks from the right bank of the river and from the heights west of the road, and the colonel had apparently requested artillery fire to suppress them. In the villages on the high ground, all the houses have been burned down. Major General Lukashenko could see clearly that every time the Germans opened fire, a puff of smoke and dust rolled up in front of the position.

At this time, the following person called Major General Lukashenko:

"Comrade Major General, please return to the headquarters immediately!"

"Something must have happened...... Where to open a gap...... "Major General Lukashenko's heart tightened. He took one last look at the four heavy tanks that were about to disappear and hurriedly descended the ladder.

At the same time, the battle for the city continued. For the fight for the city, the Soviet troops paid a high price. Dozens of Soviet tanks were shot and caught fire, and they froze still, and in the city, the soldiers fought bloody battles and lay their corpses on the streets. And the sudden blow of the Soviet army, the frightened German army suffered even greater casualties.

Andrasdorf charged ahead on a heavy tank "KV-220", and in the first minutes of the start of the battle, he saw through the viewing window that the first and third companies of the first echelon, more and more tanks were destroyed. Although his tanks destroyed no less than 10 German tanks, he could not contain the sadness in his heart, and he thought that in these burning tanks, his comrades who fought side by side with him were killed......

In the battalion's offensive battle formation, there were more and more unobstructed loopholes. The pace of the offensive should be accelerated. The tank in which Andrasdorf was located was unusually dull and difficult to breathe due to the heavy smell of gunpowder and smoke. The "KV-220" tank trembled, jolted, swayed from side to side with the ups and downs of the tracks. However, the 85 mm caliber cannon tirelessly fired shells. Now, Andrasdorf saw four German tanks rushing from the collapsed houses to the Soviet front, storming the flanks of the tank units.

"Armor-piercing bullets!" Andreasdorf issued an export order.

"Armor-piercing rounds reloaded!" The loader replied hoarsely.

A German tank had just appeared on the crosses of the sights, and the gunners immediately opened fire. The shell hit the tank's viewing window accurately, and then, as if swallowing something, it convulsed spasmodically and then fell silent. One of the tanks in the back slightly deflected to the side to withstand the re-fire of Andreasdorf's tank's main gun. As a result, the tank was again wounded by an armor-piercing shell and spun in circles. The tank crew jumped out of the car, despite the danger of being strafed by machine guns...... The other two German tanks fell back into their bunkers.

Elena's "Mother Fatherland" tank was slightly ahead of the formation of the Soviet tanks continuing to charge, and the Germans concentrated their fire and fired heavily at the heavy tank. The Germans hit with great accuracy, striking thick sparks again and again, and the heavy tank was hit by shells one after another, and flames flashed from time to time on the turret. But the armor of this "KV-220" tank was resistant to any impact and fire, and Andrasdorf could even see the molten projectile dragging the flame sinking into the armor plate.

Lomonosov's "T-150" tank did not leave an inch, walking behind Yelena's "KV-220" tank.

At this time, the Germans had not yet had time to blow up the bridge over the river. They never imagined that the Soviets would storm the city, so the Soviet tanks took the German battle formation by surprise and rushed into the ruins of the city, crossing the railway embankment of the city station and reaching the road from Mga to Pogostyye, north of the farm.

The "Mother Fatherland" tank was parked on the road, which was very favorable terrain, the steep roadbed behind the ditch covered the lower part of the tank, and from the turret it was possible to cross the roadbed and clearly see the village, and it was possible to hit the German artillery batteries stationed in the village and the crowds of tanks that were gathered in the village. Andreasdorf also ordered the tanks to be parked on the road. Soviet tanks on the left and right followed. Dense fire that killed the enemy began to shoot at the village.

In the "Mother of the Motherland" tank, Sun Hui heard the continuous explosion of mortar shells from behind. That is, nearby or not far away, German mortar batteries were stationed. Therefore, they have to be vigilant and not stop shooting. But the smoke from the burning tanks of the Soviet and German troops, the rolling of tracks, the explosion of shells and mortar shells, and the fire of tank artillery rolled up billowing smoke and dust, blinding his eyes. He had to shoot through the curtains of smoke that had weakened from time to time and shoot at any target that suddenly appeared.

Ye Chuchu heard a strange sound, she opened the turret cover, and saw a group of bombers in the sky. With a dull boom, the engine flew in the direction of Leningrad.

Ye Chuchu shuddered, she felt irritable and had to take countermeasures quickly. She looked around and saw that German tanks, trucks and tractors were littered with destroyed and burned German tanks, trucks and tractors on both sides of the road.
