"Oh God! The tanks of the Germans are so powerful, we don't look like fighting a war at all, but going to die! A Russian tank soldier said in horror.

"The Germans' tank defenses were too strong, and we had hit them just now. However, the other party still has nothing to do. ”

Indeed, the German Army was equipped with Haw Par tanks, which had amazing defensive power. After referring to the constructive suggestions put forward by Qin Tian, the defense of the Haw Par tank in this time and space is more amazing than that of the Haw Par tank in another time and space, and the overall performance is also more powerful. Not to mention these T-28 tanks, T-26 tanks and BT-7 fast tanks that the Russian army is equipped with now, even if the T-34 tank is really in service, it is absolutely vulnerable. The gap between the tanks on both sides is too big, which naturally makes this tank battle completely one-sided.

"Retreat, no further. Otherwise, the Germans would have destroyed us all! ”

Some of the Russian tank crews were already frightened and began to retreat without receiving the order to retreat. This made the Russian tank's tank charge formation, and there was immediately confusion.

Some of the tanks that tried to turn around and flee even collided with the charging tanks, and the scene was very chaotic.

The 88th Panzer Division of the German Army naturally will not let go of this rare opportunity. Major General Heinrich immediately gave the order to attack.

The German tanks began to press on the Russian tanks. As they marched, they opened fire and destroyed the Russian tanks as far as possible. In this way, not only can you solve the tanks of the Russian army, but also ensure your own safety as much as possible.

Under such a blow from the German armored forces, the Russian army lost more and more tanks. This also makes the morale of the Russian army continue to decline. The collapse of the troops seems to be imminent.

"It's over, it's all over!" Seeing this scene, Major General Chekov couldn't help but close his eyes in pain. He knew that this time they were losing badly. In the battle with the German armored forces, they had no chance of winning. It's not that their soldiers don't fight hard, it's that the gap between the two sides is just too great.

"Comrade General, what should we do now?" Colonel Karnowsky, commander of the 1st Guards Motorized Rifle Division of the Russian Army, asked in horror.

"Order the troops, retreat!" Major General Chekov said helplessly.

"Then Comrade Commander, how do we explain?" Karnowski hesitated.

Disobeying the orders of the superiors and retreating without authorization is also a big crime in the Russian army! They didn't even have to wait for the order from above to be issued, and the political commissars were able to order their arrest.

"Comrade Commander, I'll explain. If we don't retreat, our tanks will be completely destroyed by the Germans. One way or another, we need to leave some seeds for our troops. Chekov said.

Subsequently, Chekov gave the order to retreat. On the battlefield, the remaining tanks and armored vehicles of the Russian 12th Tank Army and the 1st Guards Motorized Rifle Division began to turn around and retreat.

It's just that, after the previous fierce battles, they simply don't have many tanks left. Moreover, it is impossible to remove these tanks. How could the German 88th Panzer Division let them go so easily? That's the result!

Major General Heinrich, gave the order to pursue. Those tanks of the 88th Panzer Division, at full speed, began the pursuit. Moreover, those tanks of the Russian army are all facing the Germans with their butts at the moment, which makes them more likely to be destroyed.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The German 88th Panzer Division, in less than an hour of fighting, slaughtered the tanks and armored vehicles of the Russian 12th Tank Army and the 1st Guards Motorized Rifle Division, and only some infantry took advantage of the chaos to escape.

When the 88th Armored Division was in full swing, the 8th Armored Division was also in another battlefield, annihilating the 15th Tank Army and the 179th Tank Brigade under the 3rd Tank Army of the Russian Army. Although, the 3rd Tank Army of the Russian Army still has the 154th Infantry Division and the 264th Infantry Division left. But the loss of the most important armored combat power made this tank army almost extinct in name.

The German 8th Panzer Division, having solved the main armored combat forces of the Russian Western Front, continued to advance. began to use powerful armored combat power to assault the Russian army's defense line.

With armored units as the vanguard, the Russian army's defense line was easily torn apart as if it were paper paste.

Not only the German 8th Panzer Division was progressing well, but the other four armies of the German Army Group B were also progressing well. After all, the rest of the German infantry armies were under the jurisdiction of an armored division. Most of the other ten infantry divisions have one or two mechanized infantry divisions, and the rest of the troops are all motorized infantry divisions, and there are no pure infantry divisions anymore. This, of course, is the credit of two decades of German preparation. The infantry divisions formed later were slightly inferior in terms of equipment. After all, a motorized rifle division needs thousands of trucks, and if you add other vehicles, the number is even more amazing. Needless to say, the military expenditure is spent, and it takes a long time to produce these equipment alone.

The 3rd Army of the Russian Army is under the jurisdiction of the 4th Infantry Army, the 11th Mechanized Army, the 68th fortified area, artillery and other units belonging to the army. This army group, as the main force of the Western Front, was visited to the front. As a result, they were also attacked by the 8th Panzer Army, the most powerful of the German Army Group B.

Originally, General Timoshenko also hoped to use the 3rd Tank Army to block the two panzer divisions of the German 8th Panzer Army, so as to buy more time for the 3rd Army to hold the defensive line. However, the rapid defeat of the 3rd Tank Army made all his plans come to naught. The German 8th Panzer Division and the 88th Panzer Division, after finishing out the Russian tank 3rd Army, did not attack the frontal defense line of the Russian 3rd Army head-on, but made a detour from both flanks.

Attacking the defense line of the Russian 3rd Army head-on were the 81st Mechanized Infantry Division, the 82nd Mechanized Infantry Division, the 84th Motorized Rifle Division, the 85th Motorized Rifle Division and the 86th Motorized Infantry Division under the 8th Army.

In the previous heavy shelling and bombardment by the German army, the defense line of the Russian 3rd Army was already full of holes. And the mechanized infantry divisions and motorized infantry divisions of the German army all had armored units. Under their attack, the defense line of the Russian 3rd Army was torn apart after holding out for less than two hours.
