More than a dozen fighters roared down, large-caliber machine gun bullets and 23-millimeter high-explosive shells were fired into the ground like a storm, and at least one regiment of attacking German tank units and mechanized infantry formations were immediately disrupted - the tanks didn't care much about the strafing of the fighters, but they had to take it easy, God knows what caliber those Russian aircraft guns were!

The infantry had to lie down to find cover, and the imposing charge was immediately slowed down!

The Red Army's positions here were all energized, and the 144th Division was originally ready to temporarily retreat to the second-line position for such a vigorous attack. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But just a toss of these dozen fighters stopped the sharpness of the Germans, and the Red Army artillery played with the shelling of life!

For people on the ground, this air raid was really fatal - looking at the light staring, the MG34 machine guns on those tanks and armored vehicles were basically useless, and the Soviet planes left with one blow and did not circle at all.

Pull up the nose of the plane, whistling upwards and turning at the same time, now that he has entered the German battle line, he must hurry back - not far to the southwest, the Germans must have arranged anti-aircraft artillery units, and they are not as thick as the Il-2!

Looking down through the engine room, you can see most of the battlefield, full of destroyed vehicles on both sides and craters on the plains, especially near your own infantry positions, which are about to be blown up! But that's it, the 144th Infantry Division did not let the Germans move forward!

The fleet climbed, and in the distance a convoy of tanks was advancing south, and Pokryshkin roughly counted at least forty of them. Although I don't know what model it is, the 144th Infantry Division, after being supported by this living force, can withstand the onslaught of a German armored division for at least one more day!

Major General Pronin used the last armored regiment that matched him, and now he is reporting to the campaign command: "I put the last armored **** up!" There is also an infantry battalion in the reserve! If the Germans still attack with this intensity, they can still withstand it until midnight today! ”

Comrade division commander wanted to come to the reserves, but Vatutin didn't give it to anyone, "There are no reserves!" You're the last person to fight, and you're going to give me until 12 noon tomorrow! Got it?! Otherwise, don't come back! ”

Lin Jun listened from the side, and had never seen the fat Vatutin speak like this—not in surprise or with a serious expression because of the admiral's annoyance, but with a chuckle himself.

"Yes, Comrade Commander, the 144th Division must be in its current position before 12 o'clock tomorrow."

Pronin over there hung up the phone, his eyes glared at the two staff officers on the side, "Look at it, there are no reserves!" Tomorrow before 12 o'clock, the troops will run out, and you have to resist it! ”

The staff officers knew how much equipment, personnel, and combat strength the troops still had, and they knew that the division commander was a closed door, and they all kept talking -- Pronin would not cry out until there was still one infantry battalion left as a reserve! The staff officers seemed to hear the division commander talking to himself again: "First 16 o'clock, and then tomorrow at 12 o'clock, what is this called?!" I said comrades, comrades of the first division, you are also faster! ”

"This Proning, would it be wrong to report less? There are almost half of the artillery of the group army providing him with fire support, and he is still poor! Vatujing said to this Lin Jun.

"They're hard enough, they're going to rush Fekochinov."

Lin Jun watched as the area controlled by the Red Flag was constantly expanding, and the German army outside the city was either wiped out or driven into the western part of the city, and was being continuously compressed.

As early as yesterday afternoon, the German positions outside the eastern part of the city had been completely occupied, thanks to a bombing by the air force that accelerated the attack - nearly 100 bombers bombed intensively, using not only high-explosive bombs, but also coagulation ****** and cluster bombs, turning a large area of German positions upside down!

It seems that Tukhachevsky very much wanted to end the fighting on this side as soon as possible, otherwise he would not have used such a scale of bombing.

"Nikolai Fedorovich, I'll go to Fekochinov and hold my breath here."

Lin Jun couldn't stand the atmosphere in the command headquarters, which also made him clearly know that he was not a qualified senior commander - he liked to see the battlefield instead of strategizing.

Vatutin would not object to the marshal's decision - now the "small lands" belonged to the "rear", and it would not hurt to go there and look out over the battle in Nemenchne.

Half an hour later, Lin Jun arrived at Fekochinov's forward headquarters, and Comrade Major General was sternly ordering on the phone: "You must occupy all the main buildings in the west of the city before 3 o'clock in the afternoon!" No matter what you use, it doesn't matter if you blow up all the houses! ”

The Major General said murderously, "The heavy artillery you want has been dragged up for you, as well as the БМ-30 rocket launcher!" Bombard me with heavy artillery, it doesn't matter if you don't have a prisoner! ”

"Wait." Lin Jun stepped forward and grabbed the phone, "Hey, I'm Marshal Plunyakov." All the captives who have already been captured must be sent down, and Siberia is still waiting for labor! Continue to resist the stubborn elimination on the spot, understand that there is none! ”

"Yes, Comrade Marshal! Please tell our division commander that we will definitely win all the hard bones in three hours! ”

Lin Jun didn't know who was giving him a military order on the other end of the phone, so he hung up the phone and said, "Marshal, why are you here." Fekochinov said: "The order is to make it clear, you are not at home do not know how expensive flour is." As soon as you say don't take prisoners, you will kill all those you caught yesterday! ”

"Understood, Marshal."

There was no embarrassed expression, but he was as serious as ever: this was Fekochinov, his first confidential secretary that Lin Jun valued.

Fekochinov's troops were not in the habit of capturing prisoners in the first place, and if they were to follow what he had said, it would have been a matter of luck that the number of prisoners would eventually reach a few hundred - Lin Jun had already learned through a report an hour ago that the main battle in the city would basically be over by midnight today.

36 hours at most, or it may not be used - according to the report on the other end of the phone just now, the large-scale assault will be over by 2 o'clock in the afternoon - it is entirely made of explosives and shells, at least more than double the firepower of the units of the Germans attacking the same scale!

The tactics of the sea of fire and the god of war open the way, and it is worthy of its name!

Fekochinov pointed to the map of the city and said to Lin Jun: "Marshal, we have compressed the German army in these two areas in the west of the city, the large one is only 300 meters wide and 600 meters long. However, they were all fortifications, and I sent the 1536th Regiment to use heavy artillery against the building. ”

"The situation west of Vilnius is very complicated, this time we are poking a hornet's nest, even the German troops in the Belarusian direction are moving, be quick! With heavy artillery, I couldn't take care of the building and the headquarters of the Germans. ”

On the Workers' Road west of the inner city of Neimenchi, sappers were clearing the building debris and barricades everywhere, clearing the way for the heavy equipment that was coming from behind. The first to pass were a dozen huge SU-122 and SU-152 assault guns, as well as a huge cube iron cage mounted on a trailer, which was a huge 300-mm М-31-4 rocket launcher!

That's not all, the "Voroshilov Warrior" tracked tractor came up with a huge B-4 howitzer - the artillerymen were going to play a real "cannon with bayonets"!

Major Yakov-Dzhugashvili's SU-76 was shelling a building west of the city, the southernmost five-story building in the larger encirclement. Originally, the infantry was about to carry out a room-by-room assault, but suddenly the order came from above and ordered a pause, allowing only a few SU-76s to shell with cannons for a while.

"That doesn't make sense, Major, when are the infantrymen waiting?" Puzzled, Alexander asked him after shoving a high-explosive shell into the chamber.

The loaders are tired - the shells that were replenished last night have long since been exhausted, and the ones that are now on the ammunition racks are replenished this morning.

"Slow down, don't play with your life."

Even the gunners of the 82mm mortars in the back were a little lazy, and the infantrymen simply hid behind their respective hideouts to rest!

"The top is waiting, either the fixed-point bombardment in the morning or heavy artillery." Zhugashvili simply took out the kettle and drank some water: "Reverse the car, so as not to be targeted by the anti-tank guns!" ”

In the distance, a SU-152 disappeared for a while and then reappeared, presumably just after going to the back to replenish ammunition - it could stop in a conspicuous place and fire, and the SU-76 could be more leisurely, God knows if those Germans still have anti-tank guns! Even if you send a 37mm armor-piercing bullet, it's enough to kill!

The sound of "boom" behind me was getting louder and louder, and everyone was excited when they heard it - several SU-152 and SU122 appeared behind them! And on the other side, the larger 203-mm B-4 howitzer was dragged up!

"Drive up, give me enough strength to shoot!"

All the commanders had the same idea, and as soon as they got out of the street, they opened fire with all their might! Not only self-propelled assault guns, but also those 76.2mm cannons and mortars in the back of the mortar lying in ambush on the first floor of the broken house are firing!

Light and heavy machine gun fire suppressed, just at the German occupation zone less than 300 meters on the opposite side, the barrel artillery fired directly, and suddenly those buildings were like exploding pots!

The opposite side was not depressed, and all kinds of firearms beckoned to this side, but obviously the firepower was not as good as the Red Army artillery and machine guns fired from all sides!

Nothing charged, just shelling! The buildings on both sides exploded like a pot, and the rubble that had been crushed by bullets and shells spread like smoke!

With this effort, the "Voroshilov Warrior" tractor came up with a B-4 howitzer in tow!

The howitzer only has a small baffle that is not even a shield, and can only protect a small part of the area, and it is still very dangerous for the gunners to conduct direct fire once exposed to the fire of the opponent's machine guns. Luckily, it's big enough, and if the threat is only from the front, the huge gun hull and tracked gun mount can block most of the threat as long as the gunners don't run around.
