Chapter 450: The Battle for China (6)
The German offensive on April 25 was dealt a heavy blow by the Soviets, and Rommel was very angry, but he was willing to take full responsibility.
"Nope! Dear General, this is not your fault alone, and I am responsible for it. William Loeb came over and comforted.
"Including this one, I have personally experienced two such failures, Your Excellency. I didn't expect that the Soviets would follow the same method that Mr. Genaller did during the Albert puppet government at that time, and caught us off guard. Rommel said.
"Yes, General, I also participated in the war to unify the whole country, and I was seriously wounded, and it was Mr. President who saved me when I died, and I am still grateful. But this time it was different, the Soviet army did the same thing, and we didn't notice it in the slightest, so I was also responsible. William Loeb said.
"Well, Your Excellency, we should give the Soviets a little color. Look at ......" Rommel walked over to the map, pointed to a place, and nodded lightly.
"You're going to cross the river?"
"Yes, the river in this place is very shallow, I have sent people to reconnoitre, the deepest part has just passed the tracks of the tanks, although we have walked dozens of kilometers more, but we can avoid the heavy resistance of the Soviets and reach Vokhov unimpeded." Rommel gently lowered the command pole and said very confidently.
"I see, Vohuv is a vast plain, our tanks can go straight to Tevushchi, there are field hospitals for the Soviets......" William Loeb laughed, thinking that this was a very good solution.
"Nope! We should turn around from Vohov and flank Vyshkuv on both sides and take this bridgehead to Warsaw. Rommel stretched out his fingers and made a grasping motion.
"Wonderful, General, what a good move!" William Loeb was full of praise.
"Actually, the idea was conceived by Gaihard, Your Excellency. It's time for this kid to show off his skills, or he'll always feel like I'm crushing him. May God bless him with victory. Rommel took a sip of tea and waited for William Loeb to speak.
"Gay had a young man, I never doubted his abilities, and you know, Pau Fisher needed him in command as well. And then...... He is your own brother, and I have to give you an account. William Loeb said with a slight concern.
"Don't worry, Your Excellency the General, he is no longer a child, I think, as a veteran who has experienced World War I, he will be able to handle it." After Rommel finished speaking, he gave William Loeb a knowing look, and then went to Bruno von Labadia's division.
At noon, the wreckage of the German tanks was still burning, and the remaining shells inside from time to time made violent explosions.
When General Tukhachevsky heard the news, he personally drove to the front line to inspect it and praised Kudryash and other officers and soldiers.
"My warriors, the people of the USSR will never forget your exploits, the Germans are trembling under your heroic blows. Next, we have to polish the cannons more shiny, sharpen the bayonets more sharply, and fight for our honor......" Tukhachevsky was in a particularly good mood.
It was all good news for the Soviets, and although Major Sergei did not follow the order to attack alone and was seriously wounded, it also caused a lot of trouble for the Germans. At the same time, the city was cleared of the Polish Independence Army, a long-standing henchman, and Tukhachewski, who had been worried all day long, felt at ease.
The soldiers had only heard of Tukhachevsky's name, but had never met him personally. Tukhachevsky's visit to the front line this time immediately made all the officers and soldiers very excited.
Tukhachevsky, accompanied by the guards and Ivanov, slowly walked at the forefront of the position, waving from time to time and interacting with the officers and soldiers of the battlefield.
"If such a fire had been placed in winter, our soldiers would not have felt cold." Tukhachevsky said to Ivanov with a smile, pointing to the German tanks that were still burning.
"Hopefully, the Germans will have the same gift this winter." Ivanov rushed to echo.
"Thanks to General Budyonny's idea, I want to reward him well."
"Nope! No, no! You also have a lot to do with this, and without your wisdom, General Budyonny's good idea would not have been realized. However, I did hear that the record was created by the Germans themselves, and we just copied it. After Ivanov finished speaking, he laughed.
"That's right, Your Excellency. I have to write a good letter of thanks to the President of Germany, Mr. Grener. Tukhachevsky patted the dirt off his body and said.
"Nope! No, no! You don't do this authentically, or the president will plunge headlong into the Oder! Ivanov burst into laughter again......
Just when Tukhachevsky and others inspected the Vyshkuv front, the tank battalion led by Geihad had already set off, quietly crossed the Sibug River upstream of Vyshkov, and quickly advanced all the way to the small town of Vohov.
At 15 p.m., the convoy of Tukhachevsky, Ivanov and the guards almost brushed shoulders with Geihard's tank army. Shortly after Tukhachevsky and his party left Route 58 and took a shortcut back to Warsaw, a tank battalion of the 10th Army under the command of Geihard also drove up Route 58 and quickly advanced towards Vyshkov.
At this time, the 11th Infantry Division, the 3rd Division, and the 7th Division, the 10th Army's 1st Division's two tank regiments, the 74th Division's one tank regiment, and the 74th Division's three tank regiments alternately covered and approached Vyshkuv step by step.
On Highway 58, ten kilometers from the West Bug River, Gaihard immediately picked up a walkie-talkie and reported his specific location to the command.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, our department has arrived at the predetermined location, please instruct."
"Excellent! Lieutenant Colonel, following the advance, it is time for the Soviets to pay off their blood debt. William Loeb gave the order decisively.
On the Vyshkuv front, the joy of victory was still numbing the Soviet troops, and at 15:30 in the afternoon, a large number of German tanks and infantry were getting closer and closer under the cover of artillery fire. Kudryash's nerves, which had just relaxed, immediately began to tense again.
"Are the brothers scared? This is normal, in fact I am also scared, but the Germans are more afraid than we are. I want to tell you that anyone who wants to be a bad seed can run away now! Kudryash asked out loud with deliberate agitation.
"Will the Germans still be fooled, Major." The soldiers asked.
"The Germans will certainly not be fooled again, brothers. However, it will not be so easy for them to occupy our positions, because we have a way to make the Germans unlucky here. Kudryash said with a loud laugh.
"Then let them come." The soldiers seemed confident.
"Well, everyone get ready, we have to make sure that the Germans don't come back." Kudryash, while calling for artillerymen, inspected the weapons.
At this time, the Germans had advanced their armored vehicles to the front of the Soviet positions, but did not continue to cross the obstacles, but lined up and fired 88-mm tank guns at the Soviet positions. At the same time, the 5th, 3rd and 7th Infantry Divisions continued to advance using foxholes and engaged in fierce battles with Soviet ground forces.
