Guderian attacked, and before Manstein's attack had just begun, he ordered his troops, put an end to the self-hypnotic assault, and began a fierce assault with real swords and guns.

By the time the reconnaissance of the German armored forces began, the Germans had already occupied Gusino. The capture of this bridgehead allowed the German armoured units to quickly approach Gniezdovo.

The Germans on the front did not intend to waste any more time, they had stopped attacking for 2 days, and in the process of waiting, they had already received more supplies.

The current frontal troops of the German army, with more artillery to keep up, are enough to deal with the improvised defense line of the Soviet army in front of them.

The one-day rest period of the short station allowed Germany to replenish the front line with a vast amount of weapons, ammunition and equipment. To this was the contribution of the German transport forces.

The supplies that had been stockpiled at the risk of being in the former Polish border areas had already been forcibly transported to the front. The German armored forces were provided with fuel and supplies, which gave the Guderian cluster the impetus for a new attack.

Wittmann finally had a chance to catch up with Karjus's lead this time, because Karjus's 505th Armored Battalion had now been moved to the rear to wait for replenishment.

The transportation of oil and ammunition was already a struggle for the German transport troops. Therefore, the replenishment of equipment is relatively slow, and Karyus can only wait patiently for his tank to arrive.

Now the rest of the battle will depend on the solo performance of Wittman, the tank ace. Now Wittman was on his own tank, looking at the quiet Soviet positions in the distance.

After all, at this moment, the main direction of attack of the German army is the direction of Vitebsk, where Manstein is located, so the air support they receive is relatively thin.

Even so, the pace of advance of the German armored forces was still very terrifying. The German armored forces broke through the original Soviet defense line in one fell swoop and extended the battle to the wetland area behind the position.

It's the end of April, and it's almost the beginning of May. At this point in time, the muddy season in the Soviet Union was coming to an end, and the golden time for the advance of the German armored forces was approaching.

With the dry weather between May and October, the Soviet roads could provide better transportation conditions with restored hardness, and the golden time for the German offensive was approaching.

The main reason why the speed of the German offensive was not impressive was because of the road conditions that limited the transportation of supplies.

After all, the weight of the Leopard tank is actually quite large, and it actually requires a lot of transportation capacity to be transported to the front line by rail.

At this time, it was too much of a test to transport a large number of tanks to the front line, which was very scarce in the Soviet Union.

In fact, the results of the German front-line troops were already very large, and in the early advance, they captured countless trains of the Soviet army transporting supplies and equipment to the front.

The locomotive also had carriages in accordance with the specifications of the Soviet railways, which was the key to the rapid resumption of railway traffic in the Soviet Union. The German troops did a good job of their extra tasks, capturing as many railway resources as possible.

Before the war began, the German Army was worried about its own logistical supplies, because of the season, and because of the poor railway situation that the Soviet Union had confirmed by German intelligence.

It can be said that Germany's series of victories were actually based on a rather ethereal hope that they could quickly restore the transportation system in the Soviet Union and transport enough resources to the front.

On this basis, it was possible for the German armored forces to capture Moscow in 1941 and possibly end the war.

Although the idea was ethereal, the German soldiers overfulfilled their tasks. They seized as many trains as they could, including the precious and expensive locomotives.

With these trains, combined with the tireless efforts of the German sappers, the railway was restored very quickly and met the offensive needs of the German front-line troops.

In this case, Guderian, who had offensive materials, was naturally unscrupulous: as soon as his fierce attack began, he played a textbook-like fire suppression.

The Germans first used the firepower of the competent reconnaissance unit to reconnoiter the composition of the Soviet positions, and then began to scrub the floor wave after wave with organ rockets.

The howitzer fired a round of accurate fire hidden in the process of rocket artillery scrubbing, and more than 60 percent of the Soviet Union's firepower points were eliminated.

Immediately after, before the Soviet troops could come up with reinforcements, the German armored forces began a new round of terrifying rapid advance against the infantry.

The Soviet positions were far from being as strong as the defensive line near Kursk in real history, and it lasted less than 1 hour before the entire line was breached.

"Organ rockets are so easy to use...... There is a momentum of destruction when you look at it. Putting down the binoculars, Guderian said to his chief of staff with a smile.

The chief of staff shrugged his shoulders, and his expression looked relaxed: "Yes, but there is only momentum left." There was a problem with the accuracy of that thing, and the Führer was reluctant to improve the accuracy of that thing. ”

At present, Germany's military products do not pursue a certain performance one-sidedly, and after making compromises, its balanced advantages are also reflected.

For example, rockets, Germany, which has accumulated technology in rockets, can design better rockets.

However, after balancing the cost and production, Germany's rockets followed the Soviet route of cheap mass production, rather than the sophisticated German route.

This trade-off made it possible for the front line to have more ammunition, but it was criticized by many commanders on the front line. Because no one wants to use more modest weapons, everyone wants better equipment.

For example, if the soldiers were to make their own choices, they would like to use a tank like the Tiger Tank, but this is not an era when soldiers choose their weapons at will.

"The Führer has his own considerations, and this cannot be blamed on the Führer's preferences." Guderian was a führer, and he was very fond of the Führer's "genius" in tank design.

At least the choice of the Führer brought an increase in the number of thousands of tanks to the front, and it is not an easy thing to rely on the original development plan to want so many tanks.

"Maybe...... But I still hope that the weapons in the soldiers' hands can be more powerful......" The chief of staff shrugged his shoulders and insisted on his opinion.

Guderian didn't say much, but looked at the officer who had just walked in through the door. The officer brought good news: "General, our troops have cut into the rear of the enemy's position!" ”
