"It's Rybalko and his 3rd Guards Tank Army again! Send me the 505th and 506th Heavy Armored Battalions to fend them off! ”

"These bastards! I'm going to have to kill them! ”

Hearing the shouting, Admiral Hult immediately roared in exasperation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The reason is very simple, because the opponent's tank army has annihilated a lot of his tanks, so he hates the other party to the core.

"But Commander Hort! The 505th and 506th Heavy Armored Battalions are engaged in fierce battles with other Soviet tank armies! There's no way to send tanks over and help us fight Rybalko's tank army now! ”

Lieutenant General Hopner replied with a bitter face.

“……”

Hearing such unfavorable news, Admiral Hoth's angry chest continued to rise and fall, and at the same time, he was speechless for a while.

At this time, his 4th Army Group was once again facing the ferocious attack of Soviet artillery, mortar, rocket artillery, and tank groups.

Because at this moment the German aviation units had finished their air raids, they withdrew from the battlefield and returned to their airfields to replenish fuel and wait for new combat orders.

"Alright! Prepare to deploy our reserve Leopard and Tiger tanks into battle! No matter what the cost, I will definitely inflict heavy losses on Rybalko and his 3rd Guards Tank Army! ”

After a moment of silence, Admiral Hult replied with a cold look.

"Yes! Commander Hort! ”

Lieutenant General Hopner also immediately replied loudly.

Then, he went to dispatch his troops.

The battle soon became fierce, and as Hort's 4th Panzer Army Group had been engaged in more than a dozen fierce positional battles, their strength had dropped dramatically.

Therefore, in the face of another large-scale attack by the Soviet army, they could not fully defend all their positions.

For this reason, Soviet troops were easily able to break into Hort's artillery positions and other important defensive points in depth and defense.

Fortunately, Hult had already redeployed additional machine guns and grenades to the artillery unit, as well as more than 20 howitzers, as well as the guards.

Therefore, as soon as they found the Soviet troops that had already sneaked in, they immediately launched a fierce counterattack against them.

Although the Soviets inflicted a lot of casualties, the Soviets continued to deploy wave after wave of troops to carry out surprise attacks on the important key defensive areas of the German army.

Moreover, there were many places where the infantry was still fighting in coordination, and they were constantly attacking the German defenses.

As for the Germans, under the desperate orders of Admiral Hort, they constantly used their anti-tank guns, and anti-aircraft guns, as well as Rhino 88-mm tank destroyers, and Vespa 105-mm self-propelled field howitzers; The T-34 tank group of the Soviet army, and the infantry corps carried out the most tenacious and powerful fire counterattack.

In a few moments, the Soviet tanks that were desperately charging forward were destroyed one after another.

And also gave the Soviet tank and infantry units to small groups and small groups, surrounded and gradually annihilated.

In response to the sudden change in the counterattack of the German army, the Soviet tank group was also carrying out a steady stream of support operations.

However, Admiral Hult still quickly dispatched all his reserve Leopard and Tiger tank groups, as well as STG3 self-shaped guns, to the front-line defensive positions without reservation, giving the Soviets the greatest casualties to counterattack.

In the face of the desperate resistance of the German army, a large number of Soviet tanks were destroyed by the main guns of the German Tiger tanks and Rhino 88mm tank destroyers at a distance of 3,000 meters.

In addition, there were many Soviet infantry also used by the German Leopard tanks, STG3 self-shaped artillery; The fierce attack of 88-mm anti-aircraft guns and anti-tank guns was concentrated together, while the living forces and tanks were quickly depleted and weakened.

When the Soviet tank groups and the infantry corps following them were greatly weakened, the Soviets gradually stopped attacking.

In this large-scale offensive and defensive battle, the Soviet army also lost at least more than 200 T-34 tanks.

As for the infantry division, two were also disabled, with more than 20,000 casualties.

The lost weapons and equipment are enough to equip 4 infantry divisions.

In this regard, Rebalko and his 3rd Guards Tank Army were also furious, eager to tear the entire 4th Panzer Army Group to pieces and annihilate them all.

"It's really surprising that these German troops are so tenacious, their troops have been beaten by us with such heavy casualties, and they can still inflict such heavy losses on our troops in today's battle! I'm really underlooking this old guy Hult! ”

Rebalko clenched his fists in exasperation as he listened to the report from his combat staff officer, Sharif.

"Actually, that's because we don't know that the German 4th Panzer Army is still hiding a group of elite reserve troops to replenish them! Otherwise, we wouldn't have been killed by them today, with so many soldiers and tanks! ”

Operations Staff Officer Sharif responded in a reassuring tone.

"Don't comfort me! Today's mistakes are all my fault! If I hadn't been too careless, we wouldn't have been repulsed and destroyed by them today, with so many tanks and so many dead and wounded! ”

Rebalco sighed and said guiltily.

"But we don't have to be too discouraged! Because Hort's 4th Army Group has now been completely destroyed by us, at most only a third of the troops are left, not even so much! ”

"So if we start another large-scale attack on them, I'm afraid we will be able to wipe them out!"

Operations Staff Officer Sharif responded in an encouraging tone.

"Hmmm! I see it that way, too! Although their reserves took us by surprise! But we also paid a certain price for their casualties! So now let's prepare for the second round of onslaught! We're going to get that old guy Hult this time! ”

"I'm going to take good care of him! Or I'm sorry for the heroic souls of those soldiers who died! ”

Rebalco's eyes were also shining, and he grinned in his heart.

"Yes! Commander! The final victory must belong to our great Soviet Republic! ”

Operations staff officer Sharif hurriedly echoed.

When Rybalko heard this, he smiled even more happily.

At this moment, Admiral Hult was staring at his few remaining troops with great heartache, anxiously waiting for his subordinates to count the number of casualties.

Although the menacing Soviet army was repulsed, his 4th Army Group and the reserve elite troops dispatched to him by Chen Yanlong also suffered heavy casualties.

Now his troops have shrunk to less than a third of their strength, and most of their weaponry and ammunition have been lost.

In other words, if the Soviet troops launched one or two more rounds of large-scale assault on him, then he and his 4th Army Group could be completely annihilated here.
