Each БМ-13 had 16 M-13 132-mm rockets, and a battalion of 18 launchers poured 288 rockets into the village of Kharleevka, more than eight kilometers away, in a short time!

The attacking Red Army units saw that the whole sky turned red, and of course the Germans saw it: the soldiers who were sleeping soundly in the barracks did not even have time to get dressed, and were blown to pieces by the roaring explosions!

At the same time, the small city of Vosrivka was hit by 864 rockets, and the whole city was suddenly in flames!

The headquarters of the German 62nd Infantry Division was located in Voslivka, and the command system of the entire division was completely paralyzed while the soldiers felt like they were caught in an apocalyptic shelling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As soon as the Guards rocket artillery finished firing the rockets on the vehicles, all the launchers immediately retreated quickly according to the plan, otherwise they would be hit by German shells! There are at least 4,000 German troops deployed in the two target groups, and no less than 50 tanks, under such intensive shelling, unless the luck is really bad, even the tanks of the Germans are estimated to be a lot of doom!

At the same time as the rocket artillerymen fired the first rocket, the divisional and group army artillery involved in the attack also opened fire at the same time, and countless red and green light spots flashed in the sky, just like fireworks for the festival!

On the front line of the village of Kupis, the commander of the engineer company, Second Lieutenant Filtov, led all the infantry, and 10 minutes before the start of the shelling, the 152 commanders and fighters of the whole company were already approaching the ditch of the farmland less than 400 meters from the Kharleyevka railway station.

When the first mortar shell exploded, company instructor Pavlov was the first to jump out of the ditch and charge with an assault rifle while shouting: "For the Soviets, forward!" ”

The explosions were so dense that they erupted around the small railway station, which was still a small matter, and even the infantrymen who launched the charge were a little distracted by the spectacular scene in the village of Kharleyevka, more than a kilometer away on the left flank, which was completely surrounded by the explosion!

Like filling in a blanket of fire made of explosives, the entire important German stronghold was covered by a violent explosion.

The machine guns of the infantry company's fire platoon and 50 mm mortars pinned down the German machine-gun positions, and in less than two minutes, the heavily armed infantry rushed to a distance where they could use grenades. Regardless of how many people had already been lost, the soldiers rushed forward and cleared the trenches with their assault rifles.

The resistance was not fierce, and the Germans did not seem to have any intention of holding on to the small and poor railway station: when Ensign Filtov stormed a machine-gun bunker along the communication trench, he found that the Germans inside were missing even the guns they had.

The grenade before entering the bunker was thrown in vain.

Within a few minutes, the infantry had completely swept the railway station and found only seven German corpses: six had been killed by shells, and only one had been killed by assault rifles. As soon as the count was counted, the whole company lost 9 casualties, 7 were wounded, and the deputy company commander Garanin stepped on a mine in front of the German position, seriously wounded and broke a leg!

While Filtov deployed a platoon to deploy a defense on the northwest side of the station, Pavlov rushed to the original front-line positions of the German army.

The deputy company commander was lying on several ammunition boxes, the meditant had injected him with morphine, and another fighter was using a tourniquet to rebind Galanin's broken leg.

Under the light of the fire, the deputy company commander's face was pale, and he gritted his teeth and shouted: "Quickly show me and me, the next one is still there!" ”

Pavlov took the scissors that the hygienist had placed on the side, cut the half of the trouser leg red with blood in three strokes, and tore it completely.

"It's still there!"

"Really not there?!"

"The parts are the same, in!" Pavlov shouted at him with his throat pulled!

Now Garanin, who no longer feels pain, can exhale: he can make do with fewer walking legs, and those parts in the middle must not have an accident, he is not married yet!

Both of the wounded who stepped on the mine have seen it, and many of the lower half of their bodies have been blown up! So Pavlov knew what Galanin was trying to determine which part was still there, and he was definitely not talking about the that blew up: he was relieved while feeling sorry for his comrades!

"Nikolai, let a few people send Garanin back, be quick!"

Hearing the instructor's order, the health soldier found two people with big shoulders and round waists, and made a simple stretcher with a board that had been forcibly removed from the fortification wall. The deputy company commander was tied up, and the two soldiers put cloth belts on their shoulders, and carried the planks in both hands to send Garnin back.

Back at the west end of the train station, Filtov had already redeployed his troops, "One platoon stays at the station, the others follow me, go to the village!" ”

Climbing over the railroad embankment, the second lieutenant saw the instructor next to him, "How's Garnin?" ”

The other 6 were all slightly injured and all stayed at the station.

"I broke my left leg, I can't die, and I can still have a son!" When it comes to the main thing, everything else is secondary.

One foot deep and one foot shallow, it took more than ten minutes to run on the mud for more than 10 kilometers to reach the northwestern periphery of the village of Kharleevka.

It is a large farm, with a large grain depot facility on the east side and a few houses along a dirt road on the west side. There are also farmland and vegetable fields between the roads, and the settlements of the whole village can be said to be very scattered, only along the road are there houses, and there are vegetable gardens between them, which is quite far away, and the whole village covers an area of almost half a square kilometer!

Collective farms of such a structure are common on the Great Plain of Ukraine, and it is unthinkable in densely populated quarterly.

There were dense gunshots and explosions to the east, and Filtov signaled to move to the northeast corner in platoon units.

After running more than 100 meters, I just passed through a small forest and found the situation: there was a road to the south, and there were many famous spots along the route, but this would almost be burning. To the east was the grain depot area, and machine guns were firing on the east side from the tall, masonry granaries: the attacking troops from that side were clearly being held back.

I couldn't see the situation under the grain depot on the east side, "Damn, where did those anti-tank guns go!?" ”

As soon as he saw this, Filtov opened his mouth and scolded: even the two cannons in his original location could accurately destroy these warehouses, how would this allow the Germans to suppress them.

However, as soon as he finished scolding and was about to let his men use bazookas to support his brothers' troops, several violent explosions were heard: the walls on the west side of the warehouse had been blown through!

The second platoon flanked it, and the third platoon, under the direct command of Filtov, swept along the road.

Instead of muddy dirt roads, you can move quickly from roadside grass and vegetable gardens, and bypass craters left by rocket explosions. The houses on both sides were almost gone: the rockets fired from the rocket artillery landed almost all on the middle and west sides of the village, and the grain warehouses had not been blown up much.

As soon as we arrived at an intersection, a group of people came from the east: the light from the burning of the house was bright enough that there was no misunderstanding. From a distance of 100 meters, you can tell if it is your own person, otherwise Feltoff would not lead the team to risk interspersing.

There was no time to say a few nonsense, and hundreds of people scattered to the east with the class as the arrow.

Everywhere you can see the dead German soldiers and broken corpses, in addition to the smell of gunsmoke, you can also smell thick blood.

"Tank!"

I don't know who shouted, everyone was looking for a hiding spot - one rushed up at the fork in the left, the machine gun side by side and the front machine gun spewed tongues of fire, and Filtov saw that the turret of the tank, which seemed to be a Mark IV, was turning in his direction!

The distance is less than 100 meters: on the left is a forest and farmland almost 200 meters wide, and then there should be a lake about 1.5 kilometers long and more than 200 meters wide, where the Germans have tanks deployed!

"Bazooka! Anti-tank group! ”

Because the armored forces could not keep up with the early offensive, the РПГ-7 rocket launchers in the infantry companies were strengthened to the squad level: Filtov's company seriously violated the rules for the use of bazookas, because all of them were trained to operate bazookas, the shooters carried assault rifles in their hands, and the bazookas with warheads were carried behind them, while the co-shooters were much more professional, and the ordinary infantry carried more carrying harnesses with three rockets.

Carry a bazooka like that, and if you hit something, you're going to be ruined! However, almost all bazooka shooters do not follow the rules when fighting: reload rockets when they are fired?

The daylilies are cold!

The two shooters behind him quickly take off the bazooka and aim!

With a bang, the opposite tank opened fire first, and almost at the same time the shell landed next to a collapsed house on the right.

Someone screamed, I don't know which one was unlucky!

Ignoring the machine-gun bullets that burrowed into the ground, two rockets whistled and dragged a long flame towards the German tank!

In the blink of an eye, two small explosion points appeared on the tank before and after, and the tank machine gun suddenly fell silent.

Filtov was the first to jump and only ran a few steps, and there was an earth-shattering explosion, and the hit tank made a big explosion, and the turret flew up!

At dawn, Panfilov received reports that the assault forces had captured the town of Bertin, 15 km from Kazatin. The units on the left flank near Route 18 also engaged the Germans, but on a small scale. The Germans did not seem to have a unified command: the same was true of Route 32 to the south, where only the German reconnaissance detachment was missing, and it was withdrawn with one blow.

The 52nd Tank Brigade had also reached the Bertin flank, the troops were assaulting very quickly, and Panfilov's scheme of using infantry as a vanguard was half successful! But whether it can be completely successful or not, today will be the key! Under the cover of the infantry, the tanks would play the role of mobile fortresses and advance eastward step by step, having to conquer several farms before nightfall to the outskirts of Kazatin.

Only then will the rocket artillery and body-barreled artillery be able to accurately shell Kazatin and give the greatest support to the troops besieging the city tonight.

While the ground battle continued, as expected by the command, as soon as dawn, the air forces of the two sides fought a war of wheel attrition over the area of engagement!

(My wife is due tomorrow, say hello to my book friends first, if there is a sudden three or four days without an update, it's not a blood bat and a eunuch, but a hospital to hug my son (daughter?) Go too! Hey! As soon as the hospital went home, it continued to update, although it was said that taking care of the child would be busy and faint, but the unit gave half a month of nursing leave, and when the time came, it was basically not a problem to go out at home, and it was not a problem to get two or three thousand a day.
