1026 First firefight

If, on the way to Kursk, his armored forces collided head-on with the enemy, the 1st Cavalry Division on the flank could make a detour and use its high mobility to break through to the rear of the Soviet army.

Of course, the 1st Cavalry Division here is not a cavalry division in the traditional sense, it has just been equipped with dozens of No. 3 tanks and a battalion of tank destroyers!

Who made Guderian now shrink from a corps commander to the commander of an armored corps? Now, in addition to some of the reinforced troops, he only has the 24th Panzer Corps left as a corps-level unit.

"The pace of action of the 255th Infantry Division is even faster! We're going to suddenly rush through the northern Kursk region and push the front further south, when Zhukov is not ready! Guderian said, standing there, looking at the 255th Infantry Division, which was following his command.

This was the case in France, where Guderian and Rommel did not have many troops, but they made up for their lack of troops by advancing quickly.

The enemy knew that they were undermanned, but because the German armored forces were advancing too fast, they did not have time to organize their forces from the flanks to encircle the German tanks that had broken into the rear.

Now, he still has 5 divisions and several independent detachments in his hands, and his combat effectiveness is much stronger than when he was in France.

And, most importantly, the Führer left him alone to command cluster G, pumping out the other commanders who pressed on him.

This move allowed him to give full play to his commanding talents, and this is what really satisfied Guderian.

"The 255th Infantry Division has advanced 50 kilometers in one day, and this speed will not be maintained for long...... "The chief of staff replied with a shrug of his shoulders.

Faster is always the pursuit of the Guderian cluster. It was as if a whirlwind was blowing from Poland to Moscow in one fell swoop.

In the eyes of the enemy, once the Guderian cluster broke through the defense, they had no chance to reorganize the defense.

The German tanks would chase after them, as inseparable as the Grim Reaper, until the end of the world, and would not leave.

"They can be faster! If you can't do it, then leave them behind and let the 24th Panzer Army go first! Guderian stubbornly ordered.

Although the 255th Infantry Division's advance was not a slow delay, Guderian still hoped that his troops would advance faster.

If the 24th Panzer Army had been allowed to advance alone, it would have been possible to advance 70 or even 100 kilometers a day without any problems.

After all, in addition to the 3rd and 4th Panzer Divisions, the 24th Panzer Corps was left with only the 1st Cavalry Division and the 10th Motorized Rifle Division.

At this time, the sky flew over the fighters of the Air Force, which were responsible for securing the skies above Guderian's group, and were also scavengers to drive out the reconnaissance planes of the opposing side.

After all, it would not be a secret how many troops Gudry had installed a cluster of armor to the south if the enemy's reconnaissance planes were allowed to fly twice overhead.
