It was practical to run five kilometers, the Soviet army did not have so many shells to make the range of the shelling so large, and the retreating German troops only needed to run one kilometer to be almost safe, and it took five or six minutes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is impossible for the Soviet army to transport the artillery to the front line in such a short time, you must know that the Soviet artillery is still 20 kilometers away, even if it is towed by trucks and some other work, the Soviet army will deploy these artillery in front of the first line of defense built by the German army, at least in 20 minutes.

At that time, the German army was already five kilometers away, and there were no good reconnaissance methods on both sides, and there were no reconnaissance methods available in such a dark night, and such a battle was even more a test of the commander's ability.

The German infantry of the German army ran wildly on the dark Soviet plain, fortunately this is the plain, and immediately after falling down got up and continued to run, and the Soviet army was also rushing to transport artillery and "Katyusha" in the fastest time.

Fifteen minutes later, the Soviet "Katyusha" began to roar, the "Katyusha" has very little time for a salvo, it only takes 10 seconds to shoot the ammunition, the launched "Katyusha" can be teleported, the mobility is very powerful, and the German six-barreled rocket launchers and artillery have no chance to counterattack at all.

The "Katyusha" could run after the battle, and the Soviet artillery was not easy to run after firing, and the "Katyusha" quickly shifted its position after firing a salvo, while the Soviet artillery continued to violently bombard the first line of defense of the German army.

The first line of defense built by the Germans, in the dark night, was not the fire of the explosion, and the entire night sky was reflected red.

Hundreds of large-caliber artillery shelled at the same time, and the momentum was not bad with the effect of the "Katyusha" bombardment, and in just 10 minutes, the entire first line of defense built by the Germans no longer existed, and more than 90 percent of the fortifications on the position were blown up, and if there were German tanks, artillery, and infantry on the first line of defense, all this would have disappeared under this shelling.

Unfortunately, there was no one on the first line of defense, and there was no equipment, and the Soviets wasted a lot of ammunition twice in a row, and the adaptability of SS Croft once again saved a large number of his own men.

Under Rommel's power, it was really possible to develop the resilience of front-line commanders, which was a very remarkable achievement for the serious Germans.

Croft is waiting, waiting for an opportunity. Croft has been admonishing himself in his heart to hold back, to lurk in the water like a crocodile, and then wait for the prey to approach, and then suddenly give the prey a fatal blow.

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

The Soviet artillery shells fell on the first line of defense like hail, and the violent explosion set off everything on the position, even the soil was flying all over the sky, and the firelight from the explosion reflected half of the sky.

Soon Croft's opportunity came, and after another twenty minutes of heavy shelling, the Soviets stopped shelling, and the remaining tanks of the Soviet Panzer Corps, more than 400 tanks, swarmed towards the defensive line that had just experienced heavy shelling.

At this time, there were no complete fortifications left of the first line of defense, all that remained were some still burning, fragmented positions, and the Soviet tanks did not care about these, they had to take advantage of the aftermath of their own artillery bombardment to directly occupy the first line of defense of the German army.

Croft is waiting for the tanks of the Soviet army, the Soviet "Katyusha" runs fast and cannot hit it by itself, and the artillery of the Soviet army is also outside its range and cannot hit.

Well, now the Soviet tanks began to charge, and as soon as the Soviet tanks rushed to the first line of defense built by the Germans, the artillery observers left by the Germans on the edge of the first line of defense would accurately report the Soviet tank group to Croft.

And Vlasov, the commander-in-chief of the Russian People's Liberation Army, arranged nearly 2,000 large-caliber artillery pieces in the artillery group behind the first line of defense, as well as about 300 six-barreled rocket launchers, and no less than 300 cannons and no less than 50 rocket artillery pieces that can be distributed in this section of Croft's defense.

The range of Germany's six-barreled rocket launchers is 1 km shorter than that of the Soviet army, and the German army's is 150 mm caliber, while the Soviet army's is only 132 mm, so the German army's rocket artillery is more powerful than the "Katyusha".

As soon as the Soviet tanks reached the first line of defense, it was when these "six-barrel rocket launchers" exerted their power, in fact, the German "six-barrel rocket launchers" were the same as the 107 rocket launchers of later generations, which were light and fast, easy to carry, and were excellent weapons for supporting infantry.

Croft was standing next to the walkie-talkie, holding the walkie-talkie's microphone in his hand, in fact, Croft's mood was still very nervous, and it could be seen from his hand tightly holding the microphone that the knuckles were a little white because of excessive force, which was obviously caused by slight tension.

Artillery observers at the front quickly reported on the situation with the tanks of the Soviet troops:

"Report to Commander Croft, the Soviet tank assault group is a hundred meters from the first line of defense."

"A hundred meters away."

"Soviet troops began to enter the first line of defense."

"Soviet tanks broke through a hundred meters of the first line of defense."

Croft listened very carefully, for fear of missing a word, and when the artillery observer reported that the Soviets had broken through a hundred meters of the first line of defense, Croft shouted into the walkie-talkie in his hand:

"All the artillery opened fire on the first line of defense, and it was a rapid fire for ten minutes."

"Order the group of night bombers cruising in the rear, immediately rush to support and bomb the area between the first line of defense."

Croft commanded more than 300 artillery pieces and more than 50 rocket launchers, firing fiercely at the areas he defended, and in just ten minutes, an area of several square kilometers of the first line of defense was bombarded with more than 10,000 large-caliber shells, and thousands of other 150-millimeter award-winning bombardments, and the light and medium tanks of the Soviet army did not know what would be left in such a violent explosion.

"Bumper ...... Sneer...... Boom Boom Boom ......"

In an instant, the hidden German artillery group shelled fiercely at the first line of defense, and there were violent explosions within a radius of several kilometers, and the degree of shelling was even more fierce than the Soviet army's shelling just now.

There was no one on the position just now, but now there are more than 400 tanks of the Soviet army, these tanks are like dead leaves in the wind, torn to pieces by fierce and powerful artillery fire, as for the Soviet troops in the tanks, of course, they are also accompanied by their tanks, torn into pieces of flesh and flying, and their final destination is to merge with the soil of the first position.

"Boom...... Boom ......" (To be continued.) )
