The Soviet troops, who were knocked to the ground by the explosion, were shot and killed by German soldiers before they could get up from the ground, and the entire ruins were filled with gunfire and screams, and the Germans were a few steps closer to the Kiev railway station.

Units of the 15th Waffen-SS Division are attacking the railway bridge known to the Germans as Kiev 7, one of the most important battles in the vicinity.

Not far to the east of this bridge, there is also a road bridge, on which the Soviet troops in the vicinity are completely dependent for replenishment and support.

On this side of the bridge there were barricades and various ruined trenches, where the Soviets had built a strong defensive line and were supported by various fire points on the other side of the river.

On the other side of the river, there are many ruins, and many anti-aircraft guns were placed in the ruins, which were originally deployed in the open space near the river bank for air defense purposes.

Now, these anti-aircraft guns are used as anti-tank guns, which are a great threat to German armored targets, and they are very hidden and difficult to detect under normal circumstances.

With these guns, the Germans tried to get close to the tanks on the banks of the river, which were destroyed several times. Although most of these tanks were T-26 tanks under the 15th SS Division, they were still a headache.

After all, according to the power of these guns, even the German No. 3 and No. 4 tanks may not be able to withstand such an attack.

The S-bend of the Moskva River, near the Kievskaya railway station, has a total of 7 bridges, three of which are railway bridges and four are road bridges.

These bridges were the focus of contention between the two forces, and the Soviets planted bombs on these bridges, which they would detonate at critical times to block the entire river.

Of course, the Germans would not risk attacking these bridges, because if they were in a hurry, they would probably blow up these bridges and set up artificial obstacles for the Germans.

Kutuzov Street was named after the start of World War II by the Soviet top brass to encourage soldiers and commanders who bravely fought against aggression.

Now it became a passage for the Germans to attack the Kievskaya railway station, and after taking control of this road, it was possible for the Germans to drive straight to the Kievskaya railway station.

The fighting on this street was brutal, and the Germans even used modified Spitfire tanks to expel Soviet soldiers from bunkers and ruins.

Losses began on July 1, when the Belarusian and other servant units of the German army lost a full 1,000 men.

Because they are servant troops, their weapons and equipment and training level are not as good as those of the regular German army, so it is natural that the losses are somewhat large.

Similarly, in order to hold the line near the Kiev railway station, the Soviets also lost more than 1,400 casualties, which is one-fiftieth of the Soviet troops participating in the war.

More than 70,000 Soviet defenders fought here, and the entire area was littered with simply laid mines, which caused heavy losses for the Germans, but the attacking Germans did not retreat at all.

Of course, there will be no retreat, because these SS soldiers who are attacking are actually Soviet minority volunteers who have a deep hatred for the Soviet Union.

These volunteers were poor people who had been persecuted by the Stalin regime, and many of them also had aristocratic backgrounds in Tsarist Russia.

With the support of German artillery and air force, these soldiers used a frenzied offensive to vent their pent-up grievances for decades.

The Kiev railway station was close at hand, and the pressure on the Soviet troops increased exponentially. After more than 1,400 soldiers were killed, they set up a makeshift defensive line near the second block.

They built around the core commanding heights of the defensive line, which was a movie theater. And not far to the east of this cinema is the Kievskaya railway station.

The German attack from the side of the Spark Stadium did not have to cross the Shetong River, so it had a large number of tanks and self-propelled artillery support, and the Soviet army did not have so many heavy weapons, so it could only retreat.

"The Air Force has already dropped 100 new napalms, and the Soviets near the bend should have suffered heavy losses." An Air Force liaison officer pointed to the map, emphasizing their attack.

However, after hearing this emphasis, several commanders of the army looked a little disdainful: "We lost more than 100 people in the attack just now, could it be that it was the ghosts who fought back?" ”

Even this air force liaison officer heard the sound of the Soviet counterattack just now, as well as the sound of dense machine-gun fire, and the Soviet troops were not dead, but there were a lot left.

So he blushed a little, and then said, "Do you want me to blow up the bridge?" Maybe the enemy is coming in from the other side of the bridge......"

"It's okay to blow up the bridge, anyway, the Soviets will blow up the bridge themselves, but hasn't the Air Force tried it twice? All failed. The commander on the Army side looked at the Air Force liaison officer and said.

The Germans did not try to blow up these bridges across the Moscow River, so that the Soviet troops on this side of the river would be alone in the encirclement.

However, the Soviets deployed a large number of anti-aircraft guns near the seven bridges to disperse the Stuka dive bombers.

As for the Ju-88 and Ju-118 horizontal bombers, the bombing accuracy is too impressive, and there is no way to play the role of destroying bridges.

Two attacks on bridges over the Moskva River, the first with the loss of 8 Stuka dive bombers, and the second with high-density horizontal bombardment, not a single bridge was destroyed.

"This time we will continue to dispatch JU-88 horizontal bombers, luck will not always be on the side of the Soviets, as long as we keep bombing, there will always be gains." The Air Force liaison officer said through gritted teeth.

"Alright! I'm also in favor of giving it another try, after all, he's right, and perseverance always pays off. Another army commander agreed.

There's no point in arguing here, it's better to do something practical than wasting your time. The Air Force's willingness to fight and provide support is a good thing, and there is no need to make everyone unhappy.

"Let the Ju-88 bomber take off, carry bombs, and bomb the banks of the Moskva River, you always have to try your luck, right?" He looked at the Air Force liaison officer and said what he thought: "On my side, I will urge the SS to continue the offensive and compress the positions of the Soviets." ”

"Very good, then let's bomb together near the bend of the river, and see how many soldiers the Soviets are willing to throw in here and die here!" The Air Force liaison officer secretly clenched his fists and said hatefully.
