The Soviet artillery divisions are much more rational, and the Soviet artillery divisions are divided into three categories, one is the field artillery division, equipped with 60 76-mm field guns, 45 122-mm howitzers, and 30 152-mm howitzers. The second is the anti-aircraft artillery division, also known as the anti-tank artillery division or mechanized artillery division, equipped with 50 45-mm anti-tank guns, 28 76-mm anti-tank guns, 12 100-mm anti-tank guns (not now, only later), and 35 self-propelled anti-tank guns.

The third is the anti-aircraft artillery division, which is equipped with 30 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, 16 57-mm anti-aircraft guns, 11 85-mm anti-aircraft guns, and 7 100-mm anti-aircraft guns (temporarily missing), as well as searchlight troops and radar units. Most of the self-propelled guns of the Soviet army were assigned to armored units and mechanized units, and there were fewer of them in specialized artillery units, so most of these artillery divisions were equipped with towed artillery. In addition, some artillery divisions are armed with a lot of large-caliber mortars, such as 120 mm, 160 mm and 210 mm ones.

In this way, an artillery division of the Soviet Union has about 230 artillery pieces of various calibers, and Zhukov has 9 artillery divisions, and the total number of artillery pieces is only about 2,000. Quite good artillery firepower, and all the strength of the German army is divided into three groups, and an assault group can get about 2,000 guns, Zhukov will definitely concentrate on using his own artillery, so that Zhukov's artillery strength is basically equivalent to the strength of an assault group.

"Comrade Chuikov, I think we should take advantage of the evening, so that our artillery can avoid being threatened by the well-known German army. Now we have this card in our hands, and we have to play it well. ”

"Commander-in-Chief Zhukov, I completely agree with you, our current anti-tank mines not only blow up the tracks of German tanks, but also blow up German tanks, these anti-tank mines will also play a role in delaying, if we have large-caliber anti-tank guns, we can kill these German tanks that have lost their mobility, but we don't have them in our hands, and we can only use artillery to deal with the German army."

"Then let the troops at the front desperately delay the pace of the Germans. We have a lot of anti-tank mines in stock. But it is still necessary to bury a large number of front-line troops, and we do not have the luxury of hoping how many German tanks can be blown up, and it is good to let him be blown up and stay in place for several hours. ”

"Okay, I'll give the order to the front-line troops to bury a large number of anti-tank mines. Anyway, the German army is still resting now. We could have set up several large minefields in one night. ”

"Hmm. Let's give the Germans a big meal in the evening. ”

"Comrade Zhukov, I think we still have to make a few plans, such as burying explosives next to all the oil wells in Baku. If we really can't hold Baku, we can't let this oil field fall intact into the hands of the German army. ”

"Comrade Chuikov, I agree with you, I have carefully studied the tactics raised by the son of the German army leader Li Mo, this bitch is bold in raising soldiers, and his strategy is quite not simple, and he is a fierce opponent of ours."

The sad Flitz repaired his damaged tanks on the third line of defense of the Soviet army, and the high-spirited Boult began to attack with a huge armored assault group, the third line of defense of the Soviet army was about 20 kilometers away from the fourth line of defense, and the first ten kilometers of Boulter went particularly smoothly, but a few kilometers later, Poulter was tragic.

Because Boult's armored assault group broke into the Soviet army's anti-tank mine array, more than 50 of the more than 100 tanks were blown off their tracks, and more than 10 were blown up.

After repairing all the damaged tank tracks, Boult also did not dare to lead the armored assault group directly to charge, so Poulter chose to immediately retreat some distance, and then call the artillery unit and cover it with artillery fire on his own path.

For the command of the front-line commander, Li Mo delegated a lot of power, although Boulter was only a commander at the rank of colonel, he could call in a large amount of artillery and aviation support, until Boulter's support was sufficient, it was enough.

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

A few minutes later, the German army used hundreds of artillery pieces to support Boult, and the dense shells fell on the path of Boult's advance, although the anti-tank mine required a force of 180 kilograms to detonate, this large-caliber shell could completely detonate the anti-tank mines planted by the Soviet Union.

At this time, the road of Boult's advance was full of violent explosions, there were shells and anti-tank mines, and the smoke of gunpowder covered the path of Boulter's advance in an instant, and the German artillery bombarded this area indiscriminately for five minutes before extending forward, and when the smoke cleared, Boulter found that his path was full of large and small craters.

Of course, these craters will affect the speed of the tank's assault, but they can't stop the Leopard tank from advancing, and Boulter doesn't need speed to break through the Soviet position, and it is nothing to reach the Soviet army's four lines of defense at a slower pace, and Boulter and Flitz are two personalities.

As long as Fritz feels that he can rush, he will choose to rush, and Poulter himself is a gentle character, and he is not in a hurry to do anything, as for that kind of character is more suitable for fighting, this is really hard to say.

By the time the German artillery had cleared the way for Boult, it was almost an hour, and it was four o'clock in the afternoon after Boult drove the entire armored assault group to the fourth line of defense of the Soviet army. The character of Boult, of course, will not choose a quick assault method with all tanks, armored vehicles with them, and no infantry to follow.

Like Frieze, Boulter chose to use a speed of 10 kilometers per hour to let the armored vehicles and the infantry that followed them slowly crush the Soviet army's fourth line of defense. Although the political commissars on the four lines of defense of the Soviet army desperately commanded the Soviet recruits to resist, but in the face of the superior armored assault group of the German army, it was still annihilated, and Boulter took the fourth line of defense of the entire Soviet army for a full two hours, which means that the time at this time was six o'clock in the evening.

The geographical location of the Soviet Union is northern, at six o'clock, the sky is almost beginning to darken, and the sun is about to fall below the horizon, and after Poult finished reporting the situation to the headquarters, the headquarters gave Poult a strange order, ordering Boult to immediately organize all the infantry to repair the four lines of defense left by the Soviet army, and then when it was completely dark, all the tanks and most of the infantry retreated to the third line of defense, leaving only a small number of vigilant troops on the fourth line of defense.

What Boulter could not understand was that since the fourth line of defense was to be repaired, it must be to prevent the Soviets from taking advantage of the night to retake it, and how could all the armored forces and most of the infantry be retreated to the third line of defense in this case! Boult couldn't figure it out, but Poulter was not Frieze, and Boulter, who couldn't figure it out, still carried out the orders of the former enemy's general command to the letter.
