Of course, Germany's No. 4 tank is better than T34, but No. 4 tank is too precisely built, and it still uses a gasoline engine, which is expensive and not easy to build, and finally No. 4 tank was submerged by the Soviet T34 tank sea, and the total production of T34 in history is 80,000 units.

Vasilevsky is confident, of course, for a reason, because the Soviet T34 tanks have already begun mass production, and now there are more than 1,100 of them, and Vasilevsky has a T34 armored division in his hands.

Of course, this is an early model of the T34 tank, to be exact, it should be called T34/76, this 76 refers to the caliber of the T34 tank gun, the Soviet army will soon find that the 76 mm anti-tank gun does not pose much threat to the German tank front, and will soon produce another model - T34/85, this T34 is equipped with an 85 mm tank gun, which is the biggest threat to the German No. 4 tank, and of course there is also a great threat to the Leopard side.

Later, the full-scale T-34/85 tank was equipped with the ZIS-S-53 85mm main gun, which almost doubled the penetration of the earlier F-3476mm main gun, and the power of firing high-explosive shells was greatly increased.

When confronting the German Tank IV, it can easily penetrate the frontal 80mm vertical armor of the Tank IV from a distance of 1,500 meters, and can penetrate the Panther armor at a distance of 500 meters. Although tank battles on the Eastern Front generally took place at a distance of 1.2 km, the Leopards could destroy the T-34-85 before they entered the effective breakdown range.

The Soviet tank building capacity was very strong, and although German planes were now bombing factories in Moscow, Stalin had ordered most of the factories around Moscow to move or hide.

The methods were all thought up by people, and the production and development of tanks in the USSR began in the early thirties and never stopped for a moment.

Vasilevsky plans to send the T34 tank in his hand to actual combat tomorrow, and the performance of the T34 tank still needs to be tested on the battlefield.

Steiner could not have imagined that his surprise attack would actually stop the Soviet attack, which was really an unexpected surprise, and Steiner planned to send his own tanks out every day to get the Soviet army.

The Soviet troops, having suspended the offensive, began to repair the positions destroyed by Bitrich, while also digging more anti-tank trenches and laying a large number of anti-tank mines.

Steiner didn't have countless shells to cover the Soviet minefields, and Steiner's plan to sneak attack every night was frustrated.

Since he couldn't attack, Steiner concentrated on hiding his tank materials, but Kovsk was only so big after all, and besides, tanks were Steiner's top priority to hide, and Steiner's materials could only be hidden underground.

Because each house of the Soviets had cellars, which were just enough for Steiner to store supplies, so scattered and hidden underground, the material losses of the Soviet bombardment to the German army were negligible.

Although Vasilevsky suspended the attack for a day, the Soviet artillery and bombardment did not stop. Even the strong fortifications could not withstand the continuous heavy artillery fire.

As soon as the Soviet shelling and bombardment stopped, the Germans immediately ran out of their bunkers to repair the fortifications. Provide as much defense as possible for your own infantry, and for every soldier sacrificed, Steiner's hold on increased by one point.

……

After Rommel arrived in the Wolf's Den, he asked his staff officer to send a detailed battle report on the entire Eastern Front, and everything in Germany had been arranged, and now Rommel planned to carefully understand the situation on the Eastern Front, and then deal a fatal blow to the Stalin regime.

There are a total of three army groups on the entire Eastern Front, Army Group South has reached Petrovsk, and the next step is Kharkov, the southern gate of Moscow.

Army Group Center is the most abundant, they have almost reached Bryansk, the Soviet army in the depth of more than 300 kilometers from Bryansk to Moscow, the establishment of echelon configuration of multiple defensive zones, there are 3 front armies and a campaign cluster, 1.25 million soldiers, a total of 75 divisions, 990 tanks, 7600 artillery pieces, 677 combat aircraft for defense.

Therefore, the advance of the German Army Group Center is getting slower and slower, and the resistance of the Soviet army is becoming more and more fierce, and it seems that the typhoon plan of annihilating 680,000 Soviet troops at one time in history is about to be put on the agenda.

Historically, Germany had only won the first half of the Battle of Typhoon, and the Germans had already attacked 60 kilometers from Moscow, but at this time suddenly it was snowing heavily, and the temperature dropped sharply to minus 40 degrees.

The bitter cold of the Soviet Union once again saved the Soviet Union, and now the Typhoon campaign was launched three months earlier than in history, Rommel did not believe that the Soviet Union would snow in June, and Stalin was not Dou E, and the Soviet Union who was purged by Stalin was more wronged than Dou E.

The attack of Army Group North also went well, and they carried out a pincer assault with powerful armored forces to encircle and annihilate the Soviet Red Army group in the Bialystok salient and the Minsk region.

The Western Special Military District of the Soviet Red Army (reorganized into the Western Front after the war, commanded by General D.G. Pavlov) was ordered to hold the salient and the 470-kilometer-wide border area south of it, covering the main forces.

The German army participated in the war with 56 divisions, 2 brigades and 1 air force; The strength of the Soviet Red Army in the war was 44 divisions.

In the early morning of May 22, 1941, the German army suddenly dispatched hundreds of planes to bombard 26 airfields of the Western Special Military District of the Soviet Red Army, destroying 738 planes of the Soviet Red Army on the same day and gaining air supremacy.

The German 3rd Panzer Group, starting from the Suwałi area, broke through the defenses at the junction of the Western Front and the Northwestern Front of the Soviet Red Army, and then developed an offensive in the direction of Vilnius and Minsk, followed by the 9th Army.

The 2nd Panzer Group departed from the area east of Warsaw, detoured to the Brest fortress, and then advanced rapidly in the direction of Slutsk and Minsk, followed by the 4th Army.

On the 23rd, the Germans occupied Grodno, and the 10th and 3rd armies of the Soviet Red Army each launched a counter-assault on the city, but it did not achieve its goal.

On the 24th, the Germans occupied Vilnius, and General Pavlov urgently ordered the reserves of the Western Front to advance out of the Bialystok salient.

On the 25th, the Germans encircled the far rear of the Western Front on both flanks, putting them in danger of being encircled. The 3rd and 10th armies of the Soviet Red Army were ordered to evacuate the salient through a corridor only 60 kilometers wide.

On the 26th~27th, two German armored groups successively advanced to the outskirts of Minsk and occupied the city on the 28th; The 11 divisions of the 3rd and 10th armies, the main forces of the Western Front, were encircled in the area near Novogrudok between Bialystok and Minsk.

On the 29th, the German 9th and 4th armies converged in the area east of Bialystok and divided the besieged Soviet Red Army into two parts.

On June 1, 1941, most of the besieged Soviet Red Army was annihilated, some broke through the encirclement, and one carried out guerrilla activities in the rear of the German army.

According to the German war report, about 524,000 Soviet Red Army soldiers were captured in this battle, 3,332 tanks and 1,809 artillery pieces were captured, and almost the entire territory of Belarus was occupied.

8 days, 500,000.

Two simple figures clearly summarize the actual losses of the Western Front and the rate of attrition of troops, which had never been so large and so efficient on the battlefield in the early days of the Great Patriotic War.

The Western Front suffered a blow in the Minsk region, second only to the subsequent siege of Kiev, which became the first and second largest siege battle carried out by the German army in the history of the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union.

The blow to the morale of the USSR was undoubtedly enormous, and at the same time a major scar in the military history of the Soviet Red Army.
