After the shelling, the German division "Großdeutschland" launched an attack on the camouflaged positions of the Soviet 195th Division. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Click, click, click!" The original rumbling sound of artillery was replaced by the sound of tank tracks, and the heavily armed soldiers, led by the tank units of the 10th Panzer Division, marched mightily towards the Soviet positions.

Suddenly, a chorus of singing, drowned out the sound of gunfire, artillery and tank engines on the battlefield, and the German soldiers were in high spirits and sang "Horst-Wessel-Lied."

"die_fahne_hoch!die_reihen_dicht_geschlossen!(Flag raised!) The line is tight! ）

sa_marschiert_mit_ruhig_festem_schritt. (The stormtroopers march with a calm and resolute pace.) ）

Kam\'Raden, _die_rotfront_und_reaktion_erschossen, (Comrades killed by the Red Front and the Reactionaries,)

marschier\'n_im_geist_in_unser\'n_reihen_mit. (The soul also moves with us.) ）

…………”

At the same time that the Germans were singing, the bomber group of the Soviet Air Force came to the skies above the Germans in a little silence. Prior to this, the front-line personnel of the Soviet army, already at the time of the German shelling, calculated the exact coordinates of the German artillery positions.

The German army, which was attacking on a large scale, was also completely exposed to the sight of Soviet pilots and became a living target for Soviet bombers and fighters.

"Whew! Call! "The PE-2 dive bombers of the Soviet Air Force whizzed down, dropping bomb after bomb on the heads of the Germans with precision. This light bomber not only has the advantages of fast speed and good performance, but also is equipped with the most advanced radar of the Soviet Union at that time, and has the ability to fight at night.

Plus they had already obtained the exact coordinates of the positions of the German artillery, and the pilots, accurately, dropped bombs on the heads of the German artillerymen.

Suddenly, over the battlefield, the dense bomber group was like a flock of migratory birds on a large scale. Bombs fell from the sky, like torrential rain, and fell to the ground one after another.

The entire battlefield was blown up by the firelight caused by the explosion, and the "fine blood" of the Germanic peoples merged into bright red rivers, staining the soil of Western Ukraine red.

Everywhere there were corpses that had been blown up beyond recognition, black explosive powder everywhere, the smell of explosives everywhere, the smell of blood everywhere. Powerful heavy guns and formidable German tanks were blown to scrap metal in an instant.

Some soldiers were dying and constantly losing blood. At the moment when he was about to face God, he took out the photos of his family and lover, and left the last look to the person he loved the most.

Tanks and armored vehicles in front rumbled with soldiers in the rear, but every time they approached the Soviet positions and were about to open fire, they were destroyed from a distance by Soviet 76 mm anti-tank guns.

The Soviet planes in the sky did not give the Germans any chance to approach the Soviet positions, and the dense bomber groups constantly dropped bombs on the heads of the Germans, and a large number of fighters also interspersed back and forth over the battlefield, using powerful aviation cannons and machine guns to frantically strafe the German invading troops approaching the positions.

Faced with a huge fleet of Soviet aircraft, the Germans had no choice but to shoot into the sky. However, the flight speed of the La-7 and Yak-3 fighters of the Soviet Air Force was too fast for the Germans on the ground to aim, and the bombers were positioned too high to be beyond the range of anti-aircraft fire, no matter how hard the Germans tried to shoot into the sky, they would not have much effect.

The 76 mm caliber anti-tank guns on the Soviet positions were a nightmare for the German armored forces. At that time, no German tank, including the No. 4 tank with 80 mm thick front armor, could withstand the powerful fire of this anti-tank gun.

"Report to the chief, our artillery positions were bombed by Soviet aircraft, and the 400th Artillery Division suffered heavy losses! The enemy troops in front stubbornly resisted, destroying several tanks of the 10th Panzer Division with a powerful anti-tank gun (ZIS-3)! ”

One unfavorable news after another reached the ears of Stthausen, the commander of the "Greater German Division", which made him gradually realize that he was facing a stubborn army, but he did not take the enemy seriously, believing that his "Greater German Division" had the ability to destroy this Soviet Red Army.

Sterhausen sighed, and then ordered: "Order all units to continue the attack, not a step back, otherwise military law will deal with it!" Order the commanders of each regiment to take the forward positions before dawn, otherwise they will all be dismissed! ”

The adjutant "snapped" and stood upright, saluted a standard military salute, and said sonorously: "Yes!" ”

In addition to the "Großdeutschland" division, the "Reich" division, another ace unit of the 46th Panzer Corps, was also stubbornly resisted.

Although the Soviets have not yet dispatched tank troops, their ZIS-3 assault guns and their 85mm anti-aircraft guns can destroy any German tank. The 85 mm M1939 anti-aircraft gun, equipped with armor-piercing shells, could easily penetrate the front armor of the German tank IV at a distance of 1,200 meters, while the ZIS-3 assault gun could also do it at a range of 950 meters.

Before the German tanks approached the Soviet positions, they were already half destroyed by the Soviet anti-tank guns, and the rest either stopped advancing or were critically attacked at close range when they approached the Soviet positions.

However, the morale and combat effectiveness of the Germans were not defeated by the rout of the armored teams, and they braved Soviet artillery fire and bravely advanced and constantly charged forward.

The "Greater Germany" division, which had rich combat experience and was well-trained, never flinched, and the soldiers with excellent marksmanship aimed at the heads of Soviet Red Army soldiers from a long distance, and without hesitation, pulled the trigger and killed one enemy after another.

It was a bitter battle, a bitter battle between the Red Army fighters and the German aces.

As long as the Soviets were able to hold their ground and stop the German advance before Operation Suvorov was completed, Manturov's strategic intentions could be achieved. (To be continued.) )
