Although Timoshengo vomited blood in a hurry, what could he do, in this case, Timoshengo could only order Nikolai to retreat immediately with the remaining forces, the most important thing was to keep the 2,000 cannons, and if necessary, to sacrifice those elite infantry. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

You can't blame Timoshenko for being cruel, the Soviet army is this tradition, no matter how elite the infantry is, it can be used as cannon fodder when necessary, Timoshenko is also a famous general after all, and the courage of a strong man to survive with a broken arm will definitely not be less.

Timoshenko and Vatutin hurriedly ordered all the Soviet infantry participating in the attack to defend on the spot first, let the artillery units retreat first, and the Soviet artillery was pulled by trucks, as long as the artillery was hung up on the trucks, as long as there was no traffic jam.

It is conservatively estimated that it will take about two hours for the Soviets to withdraw all their artillery, and the current time is two o'clock in the morning, which is at least four hours before dawn.

If nothing else, the Soviets had enough time to withdraw all their artillery and a large number of infantry, and if the Germans did not attack at this time, Timoshenko's retreat plan would definitely succeed.

It's a pity that the Germans are not fools, how could they let the Soviet troops slip away calmly like this, Griffin, after receiving Guderian's order, faced the German armored assault group, which had long been in strict formation.

The four Panzer Divisions of the 15th Panzer Corps gave the order for Group A to attack on all fronts, and at the same time ordered night bombers cruising in the air to come to support.

These night bombers flying over the Soviet army have not yet begun to drop bombs, and countless pillars of light are shot out from the ground, and you don't need to think about it to know that this is the Soviet army's air defense searchlight, and below there are three Soviet air defense divisions waiting for them, and Timoshenko, who has lost air supremacy, has also taken out all his belongings without reservation.

In an instant, countless light bombs dragged a long orange-red trajectory, cutting through the dark night sky, like a long fire whip constantly stirring in the air, and the German bomber swept by the fire whip was of course shot down.

"Woo woo woo ......" The German bomber that was hit whimpered and fell, and then turned into a pile of bonfires.

Because the Soviet anti-aircraft artillery fire appeared very suddenly, a large number of anti-aircraft weapons suddenly attacked, and more than a dozen German night bombers were shot down in an instant, and those night bombers that were hit whimpered and fell to the ground.

The bomber carrying a few bombs crashed to the ground and exploded, the power was very amazing, a plane went down, it was a large crater with a diameter of 200 meters, and the Soviet infantry 500 meters away from the point where the armored plane fell had no hope of survival, they would all be shattered and die, and the Soviet infantry of 500 to 1,000 meters would also be injured by concussion, and this concussion injury depended on the distance, and of course it had something to do with the terrain.

There are three Soviet infantry corps below, which are prepared to attack the third line of defense of the German army, the density of people is quite high, a bomber crashing and exploding will kill at least 200 Soviet soldiers, and at the same time, the aviation fuel of the aircraft or the wreckage of the aircraft will burn, which gives the subsequent night bombers the role of indicating the target.

"Boom...... 簌簌......"

"Bang bang bang...... Woowoo woo ......"

The Soviets were shooting desperately, and the German night bombers that found the target began to desperately drop bombs, and the aerial bombs used by the German night bombers were small aerial bombs weighing fifty kilograms.

This 15-kilogram aerial bomb was as powerful as a 155-millimeter artillery shell, and the German army carried 200 aerial bombs per night bomber, weighing three tons.

The German bombers were already producing the JU89 at full capacity, and now Rommel had stockpiled no less than a hundred JU89 long-range bombers, which were intended for the Ural industrial region of the Soviet Union.

Countless aerial bombs fell in the air like hailstones, of course, some planes were beaten down by Soviet anti-aircraft fire, and some planes were hit by volleys and exploded, the Soviet army had enough anti-aircraft artillery and searchlights, so the German planes also suffered heavy losses.

In just two or a third of the way, more than 50 night bombers were beaten down, and those that were not shot down were desperately dropped in the air, and 200 aerial bombs could be dropped in only two or three minutes, while German bombers only needed to hold out for two or three minutes.

"Boom...... Woowoo woo ......"

The sound of the explosion of the aerial bomb completely drowned out the sound of the Soviet anti-aircraft artillery, and the German night bombers began to drop the bomb, and the Soviet troops on the ground were miserable, and countless Soviet infantry were killed in the bombing.

The overwhelming aerial bombs fell one after another, and the explosions on the ground came one after another, killing at least 3,000 Soviet troops, and this casualty was completely bearable for the 100,000 Soviet assault troops.

However, due to the bombing of German planes, all the Soviet troops below fell into chaos, and the officers could not find the soldiers, and the soldiers could not find the officers, not to mention that it was night again, and the situation was even more serious.

At this time, the Soviet army's retreat plan was disrupted, burning trucks, artillery overturned by explosions, and Soviet soldiers running around in a panic.

When the Soviet commander Nikolai saw this, he secretly shouted in his heart that it was over, but Nikolai did not give up, and still ordered all Soviet commanders to try their best to control the troops, and if necessary, they could shoot and suppress them, and first stabilize the mood of the troops before they could arrange a retreat.

Griffin would not give Nikolai a chance to regroup his army, and the three armored divisions of the Panzer XV Army rushed in three directions, two armored divisions for a pincer offensive and one armored frontal assault.

The roar of the German tanks rolled forward, the shaking of the ground made the Soviet army panic even more, the chaos caused by the German air bombing has not stopped, and now it is the steel torrent of the German army, and the supervision role of the political commissar of the Soviet army has no effect at this time.

One person running away led ten people to escape, ten people fled led to a hundred people to escape, and then thousands of people escaped, and the result was a big avalanche of the entire Soviet army, even if they didn't want to escape, they would be carried away by the rout.

Although these Soviet troops are nominally elite, after all, they are Soviet troops that have undergone the Great Purge, and the grassroots commanders are all promoted quickly, and the senior commanders are also in positions because of the Great Purge.

"It's over, it's over......"

Nikolai fought in front of his temporary command post, watching the soldiers fleeing like fleeing zebras, fleeing like a tide, and some soldiers threw away their weapons in their hands, throwing away grenades on their waists and everything that hindered their escape in order to run faster.
