Chapter 413: Continuous Breakthrough

The Soviet troops in the other offensive sections were in a similar situation, easily breaking through the fourth line of defense of the German army, and then crushing the third line of defense of the German army, these more than 200,000 elite Soviet troops were full of confidence, and the easy success made them think that the German army was nothing more than that.

Their strikers all ended the same way, and were wiped out by the German "Iron Fist" after fighting the German anti-tank guns, and this situation was also reported to Zhukov, who was the commander-in-chief of the campaign, and it was no secret that the German "Iron Fist" was not a secret, Zhukov had known it for a long time, and even Zhukov knew the performance of the "Iron Fist", thanks to Soviet spies, this bit of intelligence was not a problem at all.

After thinking for a while, Zhukov decided to continue the attack, but Zhukov still made some adjustments, Zhukov did not let his tanks attack the third line of defense of the German army now, but like attacking the fourth line of defense, first use a large number of rocket artillery and artillery to plow the German position, even if the German army has an "iron fist", what can the "Katyusha" and thousands of artillery directly turn the third line of defense of the German army into a purgatory, and everything will be wiped out with the fierce shelling.

Zhukov's idea was not wrong, first use artillery to speak with "Katyusha", and wait for a large number of German troops in the defensive position to be wiped out before launching an attack, all threats have been lifted, after the Soviet tank troops are shelled, they can just directly crush them, the Soviet army's artillery doctrine is still very prevalent, even the later Li Mo was deeply affected, Zhukov is also an artilleryist.

Soviet armored units temporarily stopped the offensive and stopped a few kilometers in front of the third line of defense. Ike, the commander of the Skeleton Division, is now the commander of Assault Group A, and he has also discovered the abnormal situation of the Soviet army, and the short calm on the battlefield is the prelude to a more fierce attack, and this abnormal situation is a great test of the adaptability of the front-line commander.

Ike moved, but Ike did not call the German attack of the third line of defense, but let the German infantry in this section immediately withdraw from the third line of defense and defend five kilometers, these retreating German infantry did not retreat slowly, but ran forward. The servicemen run five kilometers. Normally, it's twenty-five minutes.

It is impossible for the Soviet army to transport artillery to the front line in such a short period of time, knowing that the Soviet artillery is still outside the fourth line of defense twenty kilometers away, even if it is towed by trucks. Plus some other work. The Soviets were to deploy these artillery pieces in front of the third line of defense. The minimum time is thirty minutes. Thirty minutes later, the Germans were already five kilometers away. There are no good means of investigation on either side, and there are no means of investigation at such a dark night. This kind of battle is even more a test of the commander's ability.

The German infantry of the German army ran wild on the dark Soviet plain, but fortunately this is the plain. Immediately after the fall, he got up and continued to run, and the Soviet troops were also rushing to transport artillery and "Katyusha" in the fastest time.

Thirty-five minutes later, the Soviet army's "Katyusha" began to roar, the "Katyusha" has very little time to fire a salvo, it only takes 10 seconds to shoot the ammunition, the launched "Katyusha" can be teleported, the mobility is very powerful, the German six-barreled rocket artillery and artillery have no chance of counterattack.

"Katyusha" can run, no Soviet artillery can run, "Katyusha" quickly shifted positions after a salvo, and then the Soviet artillery continued to violently bombard the third line of defense of the German army, hundreds of large-caliber artillery bombarded at the same time, the momentum and the effect of the "Katyusha" bombardment is not bad, just ten minutes. The entire third line of defense is actually gone, and more than 90 percent of all the fortifications built by the Soviets themselves and by the Germans have been blown up, and if there are German tanks, artillery and infantry on the third line of defense, all this will disappear under this shelling.

It's a pity that there is no one on the third line of defense, and there is no equipment, the Soviet army wasted a lot of ammunition twice in a row, and the adaptability of Ike, the commander of the Skeleton Division, once again saved himself from a large number of deployments, and under the authority of Li Mo, he really cultivated several talents who could command the scale of the campaign, which was a very remarkable achievement for the rigorous Germans.

Ike was waiting, waiting for an opportunity, and Ike kept telling himself in his heart to hold back, to lurk in the water like a crocodile, and then wait for the prey to get closer, and then suddenly give the prey a fatal blow.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

The shells of the Soviet army fell on the third line of defense like hail, and the violent explosion lifted everything on the position, even the soil was flying all over the sky, and the fire produced by the explosion reflected half of the sky.

Soon Ike's opportunity came, and after another twenty minutes of heavy shelling, the Soviet army stopped shelling, and the remaining tanks of the Soviet armored corps of more than 400 swarmed towards the three lines of defense that had just undergone heavy shelling, and at this time there were no complete fortifications left in the third line of defense, and there were only some still burning, fragmented positions, and the Soviet tanks did not care about these, they had to take advantage of the aftermath of their own shelling to directly occupy the third line of defense of the German army.

Ike was waiting for the tanks of the Soviet army, and the Soviet "Katyusha" ran so fast that it could not hit itself, and the artillery of the Soviet army was also outside its own range, because the range was not enough, and it could not be hit. Now that the Soviet tanks are charging, as long as the Soviet tanks rush through the three lines of defense, the artillery observers left by the Germans on the edge of the third line of defense will accurately report the Soviet tank group to Ike. The artillery group that Ike placed behind the third line of defense was nearly 2,000 large-caliber guns, and about 300 six-barreled rocket launchers.

The range of Germany's six-barrel rocket artillery is 1 kilometer shorter than that of the Soviet Army, and the German Army's is 150 mm caliber, while the Soviet Army's is only 132 mm, so the power of the German German Army's rocket artillery is greater than that of the "Katyusha", and when the Soviet Army's tanks reach the third line of defense, it is when these "Six Rocket Launchers" exert their power, in fact, the German "Six Rocket Launchers" are the same as the 107 rocket launchers of later generations, light and fast, easy to carry, and are excellent weapons to support infantry.

Ike was standing next to the walkie-talkie, holding the walkie-talkie's microphone in his hand, in fact, Ike's mood was still very nervous, and it could be seen from his hand tightly holding the microphone that the knuckles were a little white because of too much force, which was obviously caused by slight tension.

Artillery observers at the front quickly reported on the situation with the tanks of the Soviet troops:

"Report to Division Commander Ike, the Soviet tank assault group is three hundred meters away from the third line of defense."

"A hundred meters away."

"Soviet troops began to enter the third line of defense."

"Soviet tanks broke through a hundred meters of the third line of defense."
