However, the Soviet army was also like a mountain of mountains, carrying out a salvo counterattack with the Hatyusha multiple rocket launcher group and a large number of artillery groups, while the Soviet infantry units were also carrying out stubborn resistance.

After the intensive and ferocious bombardment between the two sides, the tank units of the Soviet and German armies also quickly dispatched to carry out tragic tearing and killing, and the mutual attack was the most intense; And the heaviest casualties were the 5th Guards Tank Army under the command of General Rotmistrov, and the 503rd Heavy Panzer Division of the German Army.

After only half an hour of fighting, both sides lost more than 50 tanks each, and of course the Soviets were more than twice as large as the Germans.

The German 503rd Heavy Panzer Division, which had 400 tanks, had less than 200 tanks left after several rounds of fierce battles, but they also cost the Soviets more than 700 T-34 tanks.

For this reason, the Soviet army was also grinning with painful teeth, eager to annihilate the entire German 503rd Heavy Armored Division.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the number of Soviet tanks is now more than that of the German 503rd Heavy Panzer Division and Moder's troops, I am afraid that the Soviet Army will have to pay more T-34 tanks when fighting with the German 503rd Heavy Panzer Division.

Because the types of tanks that Chen Yanlong dispatched to the German 503rd Heavy Armored Division were all except for one company of Leopard tanks and one company of Tiger tanks; All of them are T-54 medium tanks, which can be said to be very ferocious in combat effectiveness, and they are not something that ordinary Soviet tank armies can confront them.

"Quickly take out all our anti-tank artillery groups, as well as the iron fist anti-tank rocket launchers; We use anti-tank armament against those Soviet tank groups and assist our tanks in victory! ”

Seeing that the German 503rd Heavy Panzer Division, his own 9th Army, and the tank corps of the 2nd Panzer Corps were getting smaller and smaller, Moder finally couldn't help but roar.

Now he has also tried to bite elephants to death if there are more ants, so he really can't ignore the Soviet army's crowd tactics.

With his order, more than 200 88-mm anti-tank guns and 600 Iron Fist anti-tank rocket launchers were all taken out without reservation and fired at the T-34 tank group of the Soviet army.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"

After rounds of ferocious anti-tank attacks, the Soviets were brutally destroyed by the last anti-tank unit in Moder, destroying 230 T-34 tanks, 70 cannons of various calibers, and 45 mortars.

But more than half of Moder's anti-tank unit was killed by the Soviets, and only one-third of its strength remained.

"Damn the Soviet army! Half of my family was wiped out by them like this, it seems that I really underestimated Zhukov and these brave Soviet troops! No wonder the Führer often warned us not to go head-to-head with them, and to use defensive strategies to weaken their living forces, there are so many of these Soviet reserves! ”

Moder looked at his anti-tank unit and tank group with heavy casualties, and roared in heartache.

"Marshal Moder! Our anti-tank shells and rockets are almost gone, what do we do now? Do you want to stay here? ”

Just as Moder was angrily cursing Zhukov and the Soviet troops who were constantly rushing over, Commander Michael, one of the commanders of the anti-tank artillery regiment, also hurried over and reported eagerly.

"Hit! Shoot me all the shells and the Iron Fist rockets! Kill as many Soviet troops as you can, and then prepare to evacuate! ”

Modell commanded loudly without even thinking about it.

"Yes! Marshal Moder! ”

When the other party heard this, he quickly nodded in response.

But at this moment, there were a lot of bad reports coming to Moder one after another, reporting.

"The troops from the north are no longer able to reach the Soviet attack, and they are asking for urgent support!"

"The troops in the south have been opened a gap by the Soviet army, and the offensive of the Soviet army is changing more rapidly, and they are retreating!"

"The tank troops in the east are almost exhausted, but the tank reinforcements of the Soviet army are coming again, and the current battle situation is very dangerous! Ask the marshal for a new operational directive! ”

"The Soviet army in the west suddenly had an additional army group to help, which made the troops over there feel very difficult, and they were about to be unable to resist the Soviet army's crowd tactics! They want to ask the Führer for your urgent help! ”

After a while, Moder sat in his tank command car with a deep frown, listening to all kinds of disadvantaged battle reports with irritation.

"Damn the Soviet army! Damn Zhukov! ”

In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore and roared deafeningly.

"Suffered! The Soviets are coming to our side, Marshal Moder! Leave quickly, we're going to arrive and stay with them! ”

At this moment, Lieutenant General Holox, who was not far from him, hurriedly led the soldiers and rushed over to protect Moder while exclaiming.

The Chief of Staff Everfeldt and the Chief of Operations Staff John were also in a hurry, leading the guards to protect Moder from the battlefield.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"

"Da Da Da! Da-da-da-da! Dadada......"

At this moment, the Soviet troops who had just been dispatched to rush towards Moder also began artillery shelling and machine-gun strafing attacks.

In an instant, no less than 100 German soldiers were killed on the ground by Soviet artillery shelling and machine-gun fire, and blood flowed profusely.

"Cover Marshal Modell's departure! Fast! ”

Seeing this, Chief of Staff Everfeldt and Chief of Operations Staff John were horrified and commanded the guards to remove Moder from the tank command vehicle, cover it, and then evacuate with him to the reserve in the rear.

Lieutenant General Horox immediately led the heavily armed German soldiers to rush towards the Soviet soldiers who rushed over.

So a white-hot battle was about to break out, and the soldiers of both Germany and the Soviet Union were red-eyed and fighting desperately with each other.

In this battle, they either die or I live; The sky of killing was dark, and the cannon roared.

But because the Soviet army had the advantage in numbers, the German troops led by Lieutenant General Horox were gradually in danger of being inferior and precarious.

"Bastard Soviet Army, are we going to die here today! I'm not reconciled! ”

The red-eyed Lieutenant General Horox commanded his troops to resist the attack of the Soviet army, and at the same time, he himself picked up the Stg44 assault rifle and shot frantically at the Soviet troops who were surging like a tide.

"I'm fighting with you, come on! Soviet Army! I'll kill as many as I come! ”

Lieutenant General Holox was desperately ready to fight and roared loudly.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"

However, at this time, Ferdinand Schellner's Schellner Army, namely the 29th and 4th Armies, and the 40th Panzer Division, arrived at the scene under the most critical situation of Lieutenant General Holox and took part in the support battle.

The Schellna Army Group had a total of 9 infantry divisions, plus one armored division, the 24th Panzer Division, and all tanks of this armored unit were T-54 medium tanks.

In addition to the sudden arrival of the Schellner Army, General Kreicin's 17th Army and the more shrewd Chief of Staff, Colonel von Karden, also became General Ferdinand Schellner's new partners.

As soon as they arrived at the battlefield near Moder's troops, they immediately blocked the Soviet 4th Guards Mechanized Army and the 8th Guards Army, allowing the Soviet army's menacing offensive to be temporarily eased a lot.

And also let their artillery masses violently shell the Soviet troops attacking Lieutenant General Khorox.
