The air force of Army Group South forbade its planes to strafe at ultra-low altitudes, and they would leave after dropping bombs; after the Soviet air defense weapons had been destroyed and they had little power to fight back, Army Group South's planes would be able to strafe at ultra-low altitudes. ｛｝

"The air force of the dog day is really good enough, righteous enough, after this battle, Lao Tzu invites you to drink, hehe."

At this time, Flitz had already drilled out of the Leopard tank, leaned his body against the window at the top, and Flitz, who had finished scolding the Air Force, picked up the microphone again and began to call the artillerymen.

At this time, the German attacking infantry should have completely occupied the first line of defense of the Soviet army, and was constantly expanding the breach, the safe width of this breach would not be less than 50 kilometers, and even if the Soviet troops erected artillery on the edge of the breach, it was impossible to threaten the transport line inside the breach.

The armored group that assaults in depth depends on supplies very much, and the materials consumed by the armored assault group are also very huge, the assault of an armored division needs at least a thousand trucks to transport their supplies, if the supply of these armored divisions that break into the depth of the enemy is cut off, those tanks can only be turtles lying on their stomachs, and a few 155 cannons can solve them, it doesn't matter if they can't be destroyed, it can shock the tank crew to death. The three major performance indicators of the tank have been clearly stated, 1 is firepower, 2 is mobility, 3 is defense, and the result of a tank without fuel can only be turned into scrap metal.

The German Army Group South, which occupied the first line of defense, sent troops to expand the breakthrough and at the same time used various mechanical vehicles to build an improvised field road, which was actually a dirt road. Of course, on rainy days, this kind of dirt road is also very muddy, and the artillery units of Army Group South will also move forward as soon as possible to the first or second line of defense that has been occupied, build artillery positions, set up artillery, and be ready to support the armored assault group on the front line at any time.

"I'm Flitz of a Armored Assault Group. Call Group A artillery. Please answer if you hear it. ”

"A artillery group received, please tell me what support you need."

"Thank you, our assault group is now six kilometers away from the third line of defense of the Soviet army, please shell the Soviet positions directly in front of our armored attack group. Including the area within three kilometers of the front of the positions of Soviet troops. ”

"As you wish. Captain Flitz. ”

Fritz was trying to call the artillery to shoot at the frontal Soviet troops of his attack. The area of fire was the frontal Soviet frontal position and the Soviet defensive position, and Flitz was no longer such an arrogant person and knew how to fight carefully......

Flitz felt that the third line of defense of the Soviet army was definitely not so easy to fight. If the Soviets had laid a large number of anti-tank mines in front of their positions, or dug a large number of anti-tank trenches, camouflaged them, if that was the case, Flitzk would have been in trouble, and as a precaution, he asked for artillery support.

Intensive artillery bombardment, what mines and traps, are all scum, it seems that the lesson given by Flitz Li Mo last time gave him a deep understanding, and he can learn war in war, and this kind of commander is the most valuable to cultivate.

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

The quality of the artillery of Army Group South was quite good, and it was quickly determined that the guns would be fired, and in accordance with Frieze's requirements, the shelling began, and the density of this shelling was quite high, and the artillery of Army Group South was quite large, and there were six specialized artillery divisions, and only five artillery divisions were deployed to Baku, plus the artillery of each army's own organization, and there were no less than 7,000 large-caliber artillery pieces.

There are 2,000 artillery pieces to support the Flitz Group A assault group, mainly because these shells are now transported from Germany thousands of miles away, so Li Mo did not use artillery to bombard everything, it is unrealistic to do anything, and Germany's resources cannot afford to waste anything.

"Boom...... Boom...... Bang bang bang ......"

The fierce shelling, the violent explosion, into the Flitz tank, became a "bang, bang" sound, if it were not for the ear protection function on the tank cap, Flitz estimated that the sound would be unbearable.

At this time, the positions of the Soviet troops and the front edge of the positions of the Soviet troops were completely covered by heavy shelling, and hundreds of shells fell every second, and where the shelling was made, there were violent explosions everywhere, and the explosions that rushed into the sky carried up the earth, and it can be said that every inch of land in these places was taken care of by the German artillery.

Zhukov really laid a large number of anti-tank mines and anti-tank traps in front of the third line of defense of the Soviet army, this anti-tank trap is a big pit, after digging, lay wooden planks on it, and then cover it with a layer of soil, which is not distinguishable to the naked eye at all, as soon as the tank is driven up, it will fall into the trap, and the tank that falls into the trap does not want to climb out.

Zhukov's scheming was in vain, the anti-tank mines and traps in front of the Soviet positions were wasted, and now Flitz was relieved and began to order his assault group to charge against the Soviet line.

Is it possible that Zhukov has the ability to deal with the German tanks, there is no way to deal with the German tanks, war is always the ultimate duel between people, and the method is also thought of by people, Zhukov has thought of many ways to deal with the German "blitzkrieg" according to the weapons and equipment of his army, and Flitz, who thinks he has nothing to do, will soon meet the perverted weapons of the Soviet army.

Flitz is in the second echelon of tanks, the top tanks in the front row are four, Flitz carefully observed the Soviet positions through the periscope, at this time there are countless smoke rising from the Soviet positions, after the heavy shelling, there are fragmented trenches and fortifications everywhere, Flitz can not see the figures on the positions of the Soviet troops from the periscope, of course, those defending Soviet troops cannot be completely wiped out by the artillery, that is unrealistic, maybe those Soviet troops must be huddled in the trenches and shivering, Fritz thought self-righteously.

"Attention all vehicles, keep in formation, the Soviet positions are still two kilometers away, all the armored vehicles that follow put down the infantry support detachment and follow the tanks on foot."

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

The German tanks began to slow down, if Flitz chose a fully mechanized assault, that is, the armored vehicles did not drop the infantry to attack, which armored group would have an assault speed of 30 kilometers, Flitz chose to put down the support infantry on the armored vehicles, which Flitz tank assault speed could not exceed 15 kilometers per hour, no matter how fast the infantry could not keep up, both offensive methods have their own advantages.

The attack speed of the fully mechanized assault is fast, so that you can use the fastest speed to break through the enemy's defenses, but there are also disadvantages, that is, the attacking tanks are vulnerable to the attack of the enemy's infantry, as long as the enemy's infantry anti-tank weapons go up, these fully mechanized offensive tanks are also very dangerous.
