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

As soon as the words fell, hundreds of Ar234 jet bombers of the German army were rapidly shuttling in the air and bombing, while engaging in fierce air battles with the aviation units that the Soviet troops rushed over to support.

By this time, Moder's troops had already gathered 1,500 tanks and were ready to fight, and Manstein's troops had also prepared 1,200 tanks to assist Moder's tanks in the battle.

In this large-scale tank battle, both Moder and Manstein deployed all their armored forces to the battlefield, including the reserve tank troops, without sparing any hands.

Moreover, the German Army's Flower of the Army, the SS Reich Division, the "Skeleton" Panzer Division, the 6th SS "Northern" Mountain Division, the 5th SS "Viking" Panzer Division, the 2nd SS "Reich" Panzer Division, and the 1st SS "Adolf Hitler's Guard Banner" Panzer Division all took action.

When the German Air Force launched a surprise bombardment, Moder's new tank army launched a full-scale attack on the Soviet 9th Guards Tank Army from the north and south roads.

I saw a thousand German tanks making an earth-shattering rumbling noise, and at the same time rushing towards the position of the 9th Tank Army of the Soviet Guards.

Since this battle on the Dniepo River was an active offensive battle provoked by the Soviet army first, the Soviet army's front-line positions did not have the ability to defend in depth, and even anti-tank mine arrays were not built.

Therefore, this time the all-out attack of the German tank group did not have a neatly arranged tank battle formation like the Battle of Kursk, but was blown up by the Soviet army's mine array, and a large number of anti-tank guns and obstacles, smoking, catching fire, exploding, or falling into a big hole, or being destroyed by those hidden Soviet tanks......

"The attack of the tank forces of the main German army will definitely not allow them to open a breakthrough from us and attack our rear!"

When Major General Telyakov escaped from his temporary headquarters and found cover, he hurriedly shouted at the officers and men of his tank unit.

Because at this moment, there were already piles of wreckage of T-34 tanks that had been destroyed by German tank groups and anti-tank weapons.

In this shocking battle situation, Major General Telyakov was dripping blood in his heart.

Originally, he had more than 80 tanks left, and more than 100 tank combat personnel! However, in just over 30 minutes of bombing and tank battles by the Germans, his tank count was less than 20 and less than 50 tank crews.

For the German army to blitzkrieg so quickly, the remnants of the Soviet 9th Tank Army under the command of Major General Telyakov were directly destroyed.

"Miserable! Our tank forces are about to be wiped out, what do we do now! ”

Listening to the roars of artillery shells, aerial bombs, bombs and tanks, and the sound of shelling, General Staff Officer Nikolai Wolov, who was pale as paper, stared at the remnants of the 9th Guards Tank Army, which were rushing around in panic by the Germans, and panicked.

"Immediately ask for help from friendly forces and Marshal Zhukov, if we delay any longer, we will really be wiped out!"

After taking a big deep breath, Major General Telyakov ordered loudly with a not very good-looking face.

"But our allies, whether they are the 2nd Guards Tank Army, the 2nd Tank Army, the 4th Guards Tank Army, the 3rd Guards Tank Army, the 25th Tank Army, and the 20th Tank Army, are all fighting against Manstein's tank army!"

"I just sent a telegram and a phone call to them for help, but unfortunately they are all in trouble now!"

The General Staff Chief, Nikolai Wolov, replied, still frightened and pale.

"Then Marshal Zhukov's side, did you inform him in advance of the battle situation on our side, which is in jeopardy?"

Hearing this, Major General Telyakov hurriedly asked.

"It's been reported!"

General Staff Officer Nikolai Wollov took a big breath and tried to restrain his worries and fears.

"And what did Marshal Zhukov say?"

Major General Telyakov asked anxiously.

"He said that he is doing his best to send troops to rescue us, so that we can do everything possible to resist the German offensive forces, and we will definitely not be able to let the Germans break through our combat positions and attack deep into our rear!"

General Staff Chief Nikolai Wollov replied weakly.

"Damn! Far water can't save the near fire! ”

Major General Telyakov said in a hurry.

"Then why don't we get out of here right away and move to the rear to fight! In this way, we will be able to get the support of the reserves in the rear and the large army! ”

The General Staff Chief, Nikolai Wolov, immediately nervously proposed.
