The indiscriminate bombing of the Italian bombers caused inevitable losses to the Soviet troops in the city, although they were dizzy to the Soviet troops in the city.

These air units sent by the Italian Expeditionary Force, after reaching the sky over the city, did not have any direction at all, and hurriedly bombed all the explosives they had carried, and as if they were in a hurry to go back, they threw bombs vigorously by dividing them by two.

"Frank! Let's all find a place to hide! Lieutenant Lentep, a company of the German training battalion, yelled at Second Lieutenant Frank: "It looks like the Italian bombers are coming, but they are simply blind, even us and the Spaniards are going to bomb!" ”

"My platoon has found cover to take refuge!" Frank was also very shrewd, and immediately replied loudly to Lutep, who was only less than ten meters away from him: "Although it can't stop the Italians' bombs, it can avoid being hit by fragments!" ”

"Boom!" A bomb happened to explode on a building to the right of the two of them, and the loud explosion made both of them shocked.

It's dangerous! If the Italian bombers who dropped the bombs had dropped their bombs on the building next to them, or if their hands had shaken a little when they dropped the bombs, it would have been possible for the Italians to kill two German officers.

You know, the Soviets had to kill two German officers of this rank on a land battlefield, with an average of about 100 casualties.

The bombers of the Italians are still dropping bombs, and it seems that the bombs they are carrying this time are very sufficient.

This made Lieutenant Lentep feel a lot of pressure for a while: "Damn, the advance was good, but because the Italian bombardment was disrupted, I can't contact the people of other companies now, and the battalion commander doesn't know where it is!" ”

Not to mention establishing contact with other companies in the training battalion, Lentep can't even find the soldiers of his own company now.

At first, they were able to keep the platoons working together, but the second the Italian bombers started bombing, everything was in chaos.

The first to lose contact were the Spanish tank crews. At the beginning of the bombing, they were in disarray and rushed to the street where they didn't know.

Then, because of the need to find some cover and to prevent excessive casualties from the bombing, the German training battalion had to be dispersed to reduce the losses that would occur after being hit by the bombs.

In this way, it is becoming more and more chaotic, and the scale of independent operations is getting smaller and smaller.

And even so, casualties continue to occur.

Under the bombardment, the firepower of the Soviet troops in the city has long been weakened to negligible, which can be regarded as a positive effect of the bombing. If this was the Luftwaffe's bombing, it would have worked very well.

It's a pity that the bombing of the Italians not only weakened the firepower of the Soviets, but also forced the firepower of the German and Spanish troops in the city to weaken.

The most irritating thing was that most of the wounded soldiers in the German training battalion were accidentally injured by the Italians.

You can't go on in such a chaotic way!

Lieutenant Lentep, who could not contact the large army, resolutely decided to complete the key tactical goal of this operation first, the goal of capturing the bridge in the city

"Frank, take a few people, follow me to occupy the bridge!" Lentep didn't care how many people he could muster, he had to take advantage of the chaos to attack the bridge, otherwise when they recovered, the Soviets would also recover. In that case, the bridge attack will be quite difficult.

Unable to take care of the wounded, Lentep and Frank took four soldiers from the German training battalion who were still able to move, and in a team of two, they drove three motorcycles through the burning neighborhood and went straight to the Desna River railway bridge south of the city.

......

"What to do! We have lost contact with the German training camps, should we retreat? "The Spanish armored battalion that entered the city with the teaching company is now fighting on its own. Their battalion commander even had the intention of retreating.

"Two officers in our battalion were mistakenly wounded by the Italian bombardment, and for this we also lost two tanks." The Spanish battalion commander looked puzzled: "Now that the German training battalion does not know which direction to fight, it may be better for us to withdraw from the city and reorganize the attack." It's better than staying here and being bombed by your allies, it's too embarrassing! ”

"Wait! Battalion commander, it seems that there are three German motorcycles in front! "A letter to the Spanish ensign suddenly spotted Rentep's party passing in front of their battalion.

"Gather all the people in the camp and keep up!" The battalion commander is not ambiguous, at this time, the German troops who appear here must be from the teaching battalion, and there will be nothing wrong with keeping up with the German troops in the training battalion. It's better to have someone lead the team than to run around like headless flies.

......

North of the Desner River Bridge.

"Ivan! Come with us to avoid it! These enemies are so ruthless that they dare to fight against such a bombardment! I estimate that the enemy troops who rushed into the city were all their death squads, deliberately leading planes to bomb important targets in the city. ”

"But, in this way, won't their death squad also be bombed by their own planes?" The soldier, Ivan, apparently didn't figure out why this was happening.

"You don't understand this?!" The Soviet officer, who reminded Ivan to avoid it, scoffed: "These Allied demons are beasts that are not afraid of death, especially the Germans, I heard that they will not die in battle!" Isn't it crazy enough that they're braving the bombardment to storm the city this time?! ”

I see! Ivan nodded when he heard this, he thought that the enemy had accidentally blown up his own people, and it turned out that this was the tactic of the opponent's death squad.

"Enemy situation!" Suddenly, a terrible scream broke the conversation between Ivan and the officer.

I saw three motorcycles in front, leading more than a dozen tanks, speeding towards the direction of the bridge.

On the motorcycle, the 6 servicemen with German steel helmets were obviously the German soldiers they had just talked about.

Thinking of how the Germans were not afraid of death and madness, and dared to launch an attack in the face of such bombardment, the defenders of the bridge felt a chill for a while.

Within a few minutes, they were scattered, fleeing the charging Germans.

Lenterp and his entourage took advantage of the situation to speed up, leaving Frank and his motorcycle to flash the German teaching company soldiers, and got out of the car in time to eliminate the explosives used by the Soviets to blow up the bridge, while Lenterp and more than a dozen Spanish tanks rushed across the bridge in one go and captured the bridgehead on the south bank.

Subsequently, Mora commanded the main force of the Spanish armored division to cross the bridge and advance further south.

The next day, the Spanish Panzer Division and the German 1st Panzer Group successfully joined forces and closed the outer encirclement network.

Two days later, the Italian Blackshirts captured Priluki on the Uday River, an important transportation town, cutting off the Soviet army's rear passage and completing the inner outflanking.
