As soon as the words fell, the Soviet pilots Nosov, and Ushakov together with their Il-2 strike planes; It was immediately destroyed by the German W.Gr21210mm rocket. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Along with them, several Il-2 strike planes were destroyed not far behind them, which were also destroyed in the air and exploded into large fireballs, and then scattered to the ground.

In this regard, the Soviet Il-2 attack planes that reacted immediately also hurriedly began to meet the second wave of W.Gr21210mm rocket attacks of the German army.

However, there were still quite a few Il-2 planes that were quickly shot down, and even some Soviet planes that had burrowed into thick clouds were quickly destroyed in thick smoke.

Even if the Soviet planes wanted to take advantage of their altitude advantage and start to dive and counterattack, there was still no way to easily get rid of the fate of being pursued by the Germans and destroying the plane.

Of course, in this increasingly fierce aerial sneak attack, there were still many German planes that were caught fire by the Soviet counterattack, and thick smoke billowed and fell to the ground.

However, the fortunate thing was that there were still many German soldiers and the pilots of his client countries who parachuted safely and escaped, and did not crash with the plane they were piloting.

"Everyone, look, our Air Force is finally here!"

"I saw that they also hit the Soviet planes like dumplings, constantly falling!"

"Hey! Our Air Force is just amazing! ”

"It's a pity that they came out too late, otherwise we wouldn't have suffered so many casualties!"

"Yes! What the hell have they been doing all this time! ”

"Who knows! Let's continue to fight the Soviets! Their tank group is coming again! ”

"Damn the Soviets!"

Looking at the German Air Force fighting valiantly in the sky, the German soldiers on the ground who were desperately fighting for elastic defense were all pointing and pointing and talking.

However, their discussion soon stopped, because at this moment the Soviet tank group was once again charging towards the German defensive positions like an unbeatable little power.

Under the howl of 'Ula', a large number of Soviet troops followed the black-pressed T-34 tank group and aggressively marched towards the desolate German defenses bombarded by artillery groups and aerial bombs.

Due to the fact that before the arrival of German aviation, the long-range aviation of the Soviet army, and the night bombing aviation carried out long, large-scale aviation raids on various defensive positions of the German army.

The targets of the Soviets' attacks were German artillery positions, defensive support points, and troop concentration points; They continued to bomb indiscriminately for 24 hours, until the Germans were dazed, a large number of casualties were lost, and about half of the fortifications were blown up.

That is why the German troops on the German positions did not carry out rapid combat operations as quickly as they were in peacetime when faced with another large-scale attack by the Soviet army.

At this moment, they just began to assemble one after another, and rose up to resist.

Seeing the troops in front of them whose morale was not very optimistic, the commander of the 4th Army Group, General Hoth, also immediately led his guard team to the front-line position, taking the lead in the battle, and boosting the morale of the soldiers.

Fortunately, in a large-scale air battle of half an hour, the German aviation finally won the victory and repelled the Soviet aviation.

For this reason, there were no more Soviet felt air raids on the entire German defensive positions.

In addition, the German aviation unit also flew to the Soviet artillery position by the way to give the other side a fierce bombardment, so that the Soviet artillery position was also destroyed a lot of artillery, and their artillery coverage was forced to stop temporarily.

For the sudden reversal of the tide of battle, the morale of the German army was also instantly raised, so their counterattack became more and more fierce.

The Soviet troops, who were attacking their defensive positions more and more intensively, were repulsed again and again.

In particular, with the help of the German air forces with heavy aerial fire, strafing and bombing the enemy, and disrupting the Soviet army's line of sight with smoke grenades, the German infantry and tank groups counterattacked more and more easily, and the number of their casualties was significantly reduced.

However, the tank group of the 48th Panzer Army was left with very few tanks, because most of their tanks were destroyed and blown up by the Soviet Guards tank group and anti-tank guns.

Of course, one-third of the tanks were blown up by the Soviet aviation, and Admiral Hult was also heartbroken by this heavy loss, but he was helpless.

"How many tanks do we have left to fight now?"

Admiral Hort, after looking at the Soviet tank group that had just been repulsed by them, nervously and anxiously asked Hopner, the tank commander beside him, about himself.

"More than 50, less than 60! If there are no more reinforcements, I'm afraid our 48th Panzer Corps will be wiped out here! ”

Lieutenant General Hopner was frustrated and worried.

"How long will it be before Moder's tank reinforcements reach us?"

Admiral Hult would continue to ask.

"Our radio station is jammed and damaged by the war, and there is no way to contact them for the time being! But two hours ago, they telegraphed us that it would be a few hours sooner to get to us! ”

Lieutenant General Hopner replied in a not-so-optimistic tone.

"What! Why is it taking so long! It's been two days and two nights since we sent out our telegram for help! ”

Admiral Hult was furious.

"There is no way! Because the Soviet air force is carrying out air raids around our battlefield, and there are many intercepting troops, so if they want to rush over to us, they must find a way to evade the Soviet air raids and fight against the interception! ”

Hopner hurriedly explained.

"Damn the Soviet army! And our air force, which often shrinks up! If it weren't for their waste, how could our army have been wantonly bombed by the Soviet aviation units! ”

When Admiral Hult heard this, he immediately scolded angrily.

"Actually, we can't blame our air forces, because the Soviet air forces are really more numerous than ours; And we are still conducting two-front operations, and the quality of the Soviet army's aircraft and the combat effectiveness of the pilots have also improved a lot! So even if our air force does not dodge, it may not be able to block all the air raids of the Soviet army! ”

Hopner retorted a little disagreeing.

"Are you in the Air Force, or in the Army? Lieutenant General Hopner! ”

After hearing this, Admiral Hodt stared at Lieutenant General Hoppner with great displeasure and asked.

"Army! I'm sorry I lost my words! Commander Hort! ”

Lieutenant General Hopner said embarrassedly, his old face flushed.

"Then let me find a way to continue to resist the attack of the Soviet army, until our reinforcements arrive, and preferably until Marshal Manstein's troops are all withdrawn from the battlefield!"

Admiral Hult's eyes sharpened and gave the order to fight.

"Yes! Commander Hort! ”

Lieutenant General Hoppner hurriedly gave a military salute in response.

"Oops! The Soviet tank group is attacking again! And it's Rybalko and his 3rd Guards Tank Army Group coming! ”

At this moment, suddenly among the German troops in the front-line positions, there was an exclamation.
