The Germans on the northern front began their offensive at dawn on 14 May, twelve hours later than in the south. The Germans first bombed the artillery positions of the Soviet 13th Army, inflicting heavy losses on the artillery of the Soviet Central Front. Just after 5 o'clock in the morning, tanks and armored infantry launched an attack on the flanks of the Soviet Pukhov's 13th Army and its adjacent 48th Army of Romanenko and the 50th Army of Kalanin.

The attack was also supported by a tank minesweeper detachment and a small remote-controlled tank carrying the Goliath. Three hours later, with the support of Leopard tanks and Perdinand tank destroyers, the offensive resumed on a narrower frontage. At first, Soviet resistance was weak, and the air force seemed to be less determined, and Moder's progress was satisfactory because he broke through the first line of defense by opening a gap about six miles deep in a twenty-mile-wide front. Then the Soviets quickly strengthened their resistance. The German infantry cleared villages, bushes and woods and suffered heavy casualties, killing and wounding more than 3,000 people in one morning.

The Germans, attacking from the north, expanded the front of the breakthrough to almost 50 kilometers and advanced 60 kilometers in depth, threatening the supply lines of the entire Orel Soviet salient. The Germans attacking from the east were also closing in on Orel. The Soviets were no longer able to hold several Orel salients that had been broken through at the same time, and the ferocity of the German attack was reached, and the strength of its armies had increased to 82 infantry divisions, 24 tank divisions, 12 artillery divisions and a large number of ** tank units by the time the engagement was about to be reached.

The Soviets seemed to be on the verge of being overwhelmed by the protrusion to the east, and its front was on the verge of being breached more than once. Although the Soviets were partially replenished, they were still unable to stop the German offensive, and then the Soviets in the north had to retreat.

General Moder relied on a superior force to attack and forced the Soviets to retreat to the Dnieper, although the Soviets had built a new defensive line on the Dnieper River as early as early October last year. But the situation is irreparable. In the end, the Soviets were forced to withdraw from the Dnieper region under the pursuit of the Germans, who had a huge disparity in strength.

Because of the sudden change in the situation, Moder received the latest order from Limer. That is, to devote all forces to the encirclement of the Kursk region by the 16th of this month. According to Limer's order, Moder took out all the reserves, and more than a dozen armored divisions lined up to crush the true meaning of the Soviet army, and there were more than two hundred planes hovering over their heads at any time, what J7, DO17, BF109, etc., the two weapons that made me the most happy to buy and liked. It's none other than an RPG and a FA223 helicopter.

RPG against the Soviet tank is called a cool, 400 meters of range, 250 mm armor-piercing ability, the Soviet tank can't even carry the front, a rocket is a burning steel bonfire.

In addition, the FA223 helicopter that can block 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun shells has been installed, and the current FA223 helicopter has reached three tons of empty load, which is one ton higher than the original, and these loads can fully install the key troops of FA223 with protective armor.

These two weapons were the first large-scale use by Li Mo, and now the Soviet army was miserable, with rockets and anti-aircraft machine guns carried by helicopters. Below are countless tanks and infantry, and there are still J7 draft bombers in the sky, even if the Soviets are defending strong. It is also impossible to stop the German attack, it's just that the mines of the Soviet army blew up some German tanks, which is also a matter of no way, but most of these tanks can be repaired and used.

Modell's assault began to go smoothly, as did the southern assault group, and Li Mo used the weapons and troops at the bottom of the box at one time, and success or failure was in one fell swoop. The closing distance of the encirclement is getting smaller and smaller, and by one o'clock at noon. The distance between the two German attack groups was already less than thirty kilometers, and the Soviet resistance was becoming more and more fierce.

And the reason why the Germans were able to go so smoothly in the Battle of Kursk . It was because Li Mo knew how to use all the heavy weapons well, the tank tactics were used more properly, and the coordination of the ground and air forces was well organized. In this battle, the German tank units acted in a "wedge" formation. This formation proved to be very effective." At the top of the "wedge" is a heavy tank. The Leopard tank was very effective against the tank defense of the Soviet army in depth configuration.

Tank assault in conjunction with helicopters, that is even more invincible, this tactic will not be used on a large scale until 1991 even in the Gulf War As a result, it was moved to 1941 by Li Mo, which was 50 years ahead of schedule, and the Soviet Union could not be defeated.

The Soviets could only use the fortifications to make the last resistance, which made the progress of the final closing battle of the German army a little slow, but the German army was still closing step by step. After that, the German offensive became a hard forward push, relying entirely on the weight of superiority to force the Soviets to retreat. It was a very costly effort, but thanks to the help of FA223 helicopters, it also helped a lot, and the fate of the Soviet army was already irreversible.

As the Soviets continued to throw the remaining tank units into counter-charges, the Germans had to pay a high price to occupy a stronghold, and at 4 p.m., the distance from the junction was only ten kilometers.

Stalin ordered that the additional reserves must be drawn up day and night, even if there were German planes in the sky like crows. A steady stream of follow-up troops of the Soviet army marched into the front line and then stubbornly held the ten-kilometer line of defense.

Southern Front: At this time, the German offensive in the south was even more overwhelming, and the southern attack group first broke through the Soviet defense line north of Orel, thus shaking the entire Soviet defense.

Tolbukhin's Soviet Southern Front and Malinovsky's Southwestern Front, with a limited number of troops, each carried out a tentative offensive on the Mius River and the middle reaches of the Donets near Izyum, about three hundred miles southeast of Orel.

The spearhead of these attacks is directed at Mackensen's. [,！ ] 1st Panzer Army and the newly built 6th Army of Hollidet. The Germans will be equivalent to two Panzer Corps with a powerful armored force, and the Soviets who try to attack will be taught a lesson in the face.

And after that, due to the fact that the Soviet army gathered the largest number of elite troops on the southern front, the frenzy of counterattacks was almost wave after wave, and in September last year, the Soviet army reached Kiev and the area of the Great River Bend, seizing several strongholds leading to the Dnieper. The Soviet army, due to heavy losses, was no longer able to hold Kharkov and Belgorod, so it could only choose to retreat constantly.

During the operations during the Battle of Kursk, the Germans showed themselves to be inferior to the Soviets in any respect. They showed indisputable superiority in tactics, and the offensive and retreat operations were carried out very quickly and methodically.

Army Group South has more morale and heavy weapons, which is more unstoppable by the Soviet army, special FS223 helicopters with tanks, RPGs, armored tracked vehicles, basically the Soviet defense line is the effect of crushing, although the desperate counterattack of the Soviet army can not stop the German attack, but the German army's losses are not small, and the outcome of the Soviet army is still unchangeable.
