Just now, before the Germans understood what was going on, Natalia also informed Anton of the flood, and after a little consideration, Anton still decisively gave the order to break out, which was not only a wise commander's decision, but also an explanation for Andrei on the hospital bed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The order spread among the troops at a fairly rapid pace, and while the Germans were reeling in the shock of losing their comrades and concerned about the bridge, the Soviets were already ready. And when the bridge was under a strong impact, the Soviet troops had already begun their breakthrough battle!

Due to the disparity in the strength of the two sides, Anton could only race against time to make this breakout battle more like a surprise battle. Compared with the previous prediction, there is also a very important advantage for them - the ice on the river has been replaced by floods, and the German troops in these forests will fight alone, and Anton does not have to worry about the problem of German reinforcements for the time being.

But this does not mean that this breakout battle is how easy to fight, in order to prevent the Soviet army from breaking through, the German army deployed a battalion and a half of troops on this side of the forest, although the lack of heavy weapons, but the number of people is really true, plus the forest is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the advance of the Soviet army can not be too smooth at all.

It's just that the Soviet army was caught off guard by the Germans at the beginning, and some of the original Soviet positions that were originally taken away by the Germans were almost instantly recaptured by the Soviet army using the advantage of tanks, but this advantage ended there, as long as it entered the woods, it was difficult for the tanks to play. And that's not even counting the damn weather, in the woods and the kind of ground, not to mention the battle, the tanks are already thankful that they don't get stuck in it.

But no matter how difficult it is, the time left for Anton is limited. It's just after noon now, and judging from the weather, there are still a few or even more than a dozen hours before the arrival of their reinforcements, and Anton can't afford to wait so long. Although the area ahead is still unknown, if they don't break out of this encirclement now, they will definitely be finished!

Although Anton initially conveyed the possibility of retreat to only a small number of officers, the Soviet troops were quite efficient in carrying out orders, which even exceeded Anton expectations. While some were still basking in the grief of losing their teammates who were guarding the explosives, there was no one who didn't want to break through immediately.

Although it is the duty of the soldiers to obey orders, now that one bridge has been blown up, the other bridge is obviously going to be overwhelmed, and what they have to guard no longer exists. Although the strategic failure did bring a certain amount of humiliation, but at this time the belief in survival overshadowed any other thoughts, they did not want to die in the encirclement of the German army, their own defeat must be corrected, not to die to apologize!

Although Anton is the commander-in-chief, in fact, this rapid transfer comes more from the rapid response of the subordinate officers below, and some troops are even ahead of Anton's command and make a gap in the local area. It was obviously the retreat stage, but the morale of the Soviet soldiers was even higher!

The Germans deployed a battalion and a half on this side, which means that they are prepared for the breakthrough of the Soviet army, but they are prepared, but they are prepared, but not now......

Although it was not as good as the losses of the frontal troops on the slope, in fact they also sent quite a few troops to seize the slope, and under the strong attack, some people did rush over. Needless to say, these people also had the same fate as those people just now, and all of them became drowned ghosts. This has become one of the points that hit them.

In addition, although they shoulder the responsibility of preventing the Soviet army's counterattack, when the rivers on both sides are blocked, although the strength is still not false, but in the environment of the last battle, it is inevitable that people will panic, and the combat effectiveness they should have cannot be brought into play. This is the second point that hits them.

As for the third point, it is the speed that I have just mentioned - the speed at which the Soviets switched from defense to attack was so fast that they did not get this information from any friendly units, and by the time they found out, it was too late. The transition from offense to defense was not a very fast process, and under the influence of the previous two factors, the speed of the German process was even slower!

"Don't stop! Only by rushing out can we have hope! At the front of the Soviet line, an infantry squad commander shouted to his squad to charge forward, facing them with German machine guns and mortars, but they were not afraid. Because, in front of them, a steel line of up to twelve tanks opened the way in front!

Since it was at the threshold of the breakthrough, then the Soviet army did not have any need to keep it, no matter which vehicle group, they used their maximum firepower and tilted it fiercely on the German defensive line. And their steel bodies helped the Soviet infantry block too many attacks.

It was under such a 0-12 gap in tank forces that the German front on the outer side of the forest was completely vulnerable, and in the absence of anti-tank firepower, the German soldiers were completely powerless against these steel monsters. Those weak anti-tank guns and light anti-tank guns, even if they hit the most weakly armored tanks in this formation, they can only spark a little, and if you want to penetrate them, it is estimated that you can't have a close melee distance.

However, under such a huge disparity, these German soldiers received orders to defend their positions!

The frontal attacking troops, when they received a Soviet counter-charge, also tried in vain to trap the Soviets in their encirclement, and ordered the troops to surround from both sides of the river and provide fire support to the Germans inside across the river.

First of all, not to mention that if the German troops inside did not retreat into the woods, they would not have thought about withstanding the impact of the Soviet troops at all, that is, providing fire support from both sides, which was obviously really stupid. First of all, regardless of the distance factor, the terrain conditions inside and outside the village can be said to be very different, even in good weather, it is not particularly easy to get around, and in this kind of heavy rain and the land is already mostly soaked with rain, do they still expect the No. 4 tank with tracks narrower than the T-34 and tonnage greater than the T-34 to quickly pass through the muddy ground?
