The German attacking infantry, having occupied the first line of defense of the Soviet army, kept expanding the breach, and the security width of this breach was no less than thirty kilometers, mainly to prevent the remaining mortars and small-caliber artillery of the Soviet army from threatening the transport lines 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, and the assault of an armored division requires at least 1,000 trucks to transport their supplies.

If the supply of these armored divisions that broke into the depth of the enemy is cut off, those tanks can only be turtles lying on their stomachs, and a few 150 cannons can solve them, and it doesn't matter if they can't be destroyed, just 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 that occupied the first trench sent troops to expand the breakthrough, and at the same time used various mechanical vehicles to build a simple field road, in fact, it was to build a dirt road, with a bulldozer to push, a road roller, it was enough, of course, on a rainy day, this kind of dirt road is also very muddy.

The German artillery units will also move forward to the appropriate position as soon as possible, build artillery positions, erect artillery, and prepare to support the armored assault groups on the front line at any time.

"I'm Claes of Armored Assault Group A, call Group A artillerymen, please answer when you hear it."

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

"Thank you, our assault group is now three kilometers away from the second trench of 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 two kilometers of the front of the Soviet positions."

"As you wish, Captain Claes."

Claes felt that the second line of the Soviet army's third line of defense was definitely not so easy to fight, and if the Soviets placed a large number of anti-tank mines in front of their positions, or dug a large number of anti-tank trenches, and camouflaged them, if that was the case, Claes would be in trouble, and in order to prevent accidents, he asked for artillery support.

Intensive artillery bombardment, what mines and traps, are all scum, it seems that Claes has remembered the lessons that Guderian gave him, so that he has a deep understanding that he can learn war in war, and this kind of commander is the most valuable to cultivate.

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

The quality of the German artillery was quite good, and soon the shooting elements were determined, and according to the requirements of Claes, the shelling began, and the density of this shelling was quite high, and the German artillery was quite numerous.

There were more than 1,500 heavy artillery pieces alone and more than 300 six-barreled rocket launchers, and the German army, under the influence of Rommel, had become a complete artilleryman.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

The fierce shelling, the violent explosion, into the Claes tank, became a "bang bang" sound, if it were not for the ear protection function on the tank cap, Claes 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.

Timoshenko 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 hole, after digging, lay a wooden board on it, and then cover it with a layer of soil, the naked eye can not distinguish it at all, as soon as the tank is driven up, it will fall into the trap, and there are one or two heavy anti-tank mines, and the tank that falls into the trap does not want to climb out.

Timoshenko's scheming was in vain, the anti-tank mines and traps in front of the Soviet positions were wasted, and the dense artillery fire of the German army covered all the anti-tank mines and anti-tank west that Timoshenko had painstakingly laid out were all in vain.

Is it possible that Timoshenko has the ability to deal with the tanks of the Germans, war is always the ultimate duel between people, and the method is also figured out by people, according to the weapons and equipment of his army, Timoshenko has thought of many ways to deal with the German "blitzkrieg", and Claes, who thinks he has nothing to do, will soon meet the perverted weapons of the Soviet army.

Claes was in the second echelon of tanks, and there were four top tanks in the front row, and Claes carefully observed the positions of the Soviet troops through the periscope.

At this time, there were still countless thick smoke rising from the positions of the Soviet troops, and after the heavy shelling, there were fragmented trenches and fortifications everywhere, and Claes could not see the figures on the positions of the Soviet troops from the periscope.

It is impossible for those defending Soviet troops to be wiped out by artillery, that is unrealistic, maybe those Soviet troops are huddled in the trenches and shivering! Claes 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, and if Claes had opted for a fully mechanized assault, that is, the armored vehicles would have attacked without laying down the infantry, the assault speed of the armored group would have reached thirty kilometers.

Claes's choice was to put down the support infantry on the armored car, which Claes's 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.

Although the infantry is slower when attacking with tanks, their own infantry can flexibly protect their own attacking tanks and prevent the enemy's infantry from destroying their attacking tanks with various anti-tank weapons, but this speed is more than half slow.

For the use of these two tactics, the German army has never rigidly stipulated which tactics to use, Guderian has long put the right down to the commanders of the first line, how they decide how to fight, Guderian only needs the result, this method can give full play to the subjective initiative of the commander of the first line, so as to make more flexible tactics.

"1000 meters."

There was no reaction from the Soviet positions, and there was still a deathly silence.

"500 meters."

"300 meters"

"200 m"

Claes was wondering why the Soviet positions had not reacted so far, could it be that they had been completely killed by the shelling from their own side, and this situation was impossible!!
