By 8 o'clock in the evening, Boult had already repaired the four lines of defense of the occupied Soviet army, at this time it was completely dark, Boult began to organize people to retreat, more than ten kilometers wide defense line Boulter left about a battalion of troops, each squad was equipped with a walkie-talkie, if there was a situation, the German army in the third line of defense could be notified in time.

The Germans withdrew by night, not only Group A, but the other two groups also retreated to the third line of defense, leaving a small number of troops on the four lines of defense, in fact, the offensive areas of these three groups are close to the edge of the Caspian Sea, each group is about 20 kilometers apart, as long as the German army has two breakthroughs, the Soviet troops in the middle of the 20 kilometers of the defense line are the turtles in the urn, of course, the task of destroying them is the task of the German infantry, and there is no need for the German armored forces to worry about it.

The night is already very deep. In the ink-like sky, not even a crescent moon or a trace of starlight appeared. Occasionally, a meteor swept through the night sky with a cool feeling, and the blazing white light was so bleak and miserable. The wind, which blew in the evening, was at first a little gentle, wisps, moving the treetops and leaves, and then it became more and more vigorous and strong, twisting the wind, almost as ferocious as a bison, rolling and rushing on every line of defense in the Baku region.

The lights were still bright in the general headquarters of the former enemy of the German army, and Li Mo and Bock did not sleep, judging from the various information transmitted from the front line, their side had taken all precautions, just waiting for Zhukov to play his cards.

Zhukov and Chuikov were also in high spirits, starting at 8 p.m. Zhukov ordered all his artillery to be dispatched to the fourth line of defense occupied by the German army, and after careful deliberation by Zhukov, Zhukov judged that the German army should have a large number of armored forces and infantry on the fourth line of defense to prevent the Soviet army from counterattacking at night.

This is easy to do, his own 2,000 cannons and "Katyusha" rocket artillery can completely destroy the German troops in this section of the defense line, but in order to prevent the counterattack of the German artillery, Zhukov divided the artillery group into three parts, and the artillery into two parts. "Katyusha" is a separate part.

Zhukov according to the specific situation of both the enemy and us. The battle plan drawn up was as follows: First, 500 "Katyusha" rocket launchers were concentrated to suddenly bombard the fourth line of defense occupied by the German troops. And the range is also only a pitiful 8.5 km. It was easily counterattacked by German artillery. So you have to run after the fight, and when the German artillery group begins to counterattack, Zhukov's hidden artillery will immediately calculate the position of the German artillery. Then a fierce counterattack was carried out, destroying the artillery of the German counterattack.

Of course, these artillery counter-attacking German artillery groups are only half of all Zhukov's cannons, and the other half Zhukov left to prevent emergencies, and when his artillery has finished striking the German army and knocked out the German artillery group, at this time the positions have been transferred, and the reloaded "Katyusha" will come with a salvo, completely destroying the fourth line of defense occupied by the Germans.

After the artillery was ready, Zhukov would order the Soviet infantry of the three armies and one panzer corps to assault the section of the defense line that had just been shelled, and when they had penetrated the second line of defense of the German army, Zhukov's three armies would turn around and rush towards the Caspian Sea, so that they could completely encircle the German troops occupying the second, third, and fourth lines of the Soviet army.

Zhukov mobilized eight elite Soviet infantry and two armored armies with 1,000 tanks for this counterattack, although the Soviet tanks were not very good, but in the case of the Soviet army with the support of "Katyusha" rocket artillery, the German tank Zhukov was not afraid.

These elite troops mobilized by Zhukov are all transported from the Far East, they are all veterans, and they have only fought with Little Japan, and they have beaten Little Japan all over the ground to find teeth, these armies are Zhukov's most elite troops, and now Zhukov has taken them out at one time, and it will soon be clear who will die.

Originally, Zhukov expected that all the troop movements would not be completed until 12 o'clock, but all of them were in place at 11 o'clock in the evening, so that Zhukov had an extra hour of attack time, because the German army had all the air supremacy, so all Zhukov's attacks must be stopped at 5 o'clock in the morning, otherwise he would wait to be bombed indiscriminately by German planes.

……

"Hartman, are you kid ready for the night bomber?"

"Report to the commander-in-chief, it's ready, commander-in-chief, there are not many of our bombers suitable for night flights, there are only more than a hundred in total."

"That's right, you call all the pilots on standby, ready to strike at any time."

"Yes! Commander in chief. ”

Hartmann's night bombers are ordinary bombers that have been slightly modified, and they can barely take off and land at night, and the German horizontal bombers are tactical bombers with bomb loads of more than 2 tons, and I don't know if this aircraft can play some role.

When the hands of the clock pointed to 11:10, more than 500 "Katyusha" of the Soviet army began to roar, and countless "Katyusha" rockets dragged a long tail flame and flew towards the fourth line of defense occupied by the Germans.

"Boom...... Rumble......"

The violent explosion instantly reflected half of the sky, and all the fortifications and tanks were under her cover, and the result could only be to turn into scum. The violent explosion made Frieze and Poulte, who were in the third line of defense, afraid to let go of the handrails in the tanks, and the Leopard tanks of dozens of tons were constantly jumping.

The time of the Soviet army's "Katyusha" rocket artillery attack was extremely short, the whole process was only 10 seconds, and the German artillery did not have time to react at all, and it only took 10 seconds for the "Katyusha" to launch 16 rockets, and it started running immediately after firing, and the German artillery did not have the slightest chance of counterattacking, and besides, the German artillery group was behind the third line of defense, and it could not attack the "Katyusha" artillery group outside the fourth line of defense.

The important thing is that the Germans knew that the Soviets had launched a fierce artillery bombardment at 11:10 p.m., and in such a short period of time, countless powerful "Katyusha" rockets were poured on the fourth line of defense occupied by the Germans.

After the Soviet "Katyusha" volley, it quickly disappeared into the night, leaving only the miserable state of the fourth line of defense, fortunately there were no German tanks and many troops on the position. Li Mo's arrangement allowed the German tanks to escape.
