Chapter 499: Zhukov's Counterattack (Part I)

When the German artillery group began to counterattack, Zhukov's hidden artillery would immediately calculate the position of the German artillery, and then violently counterattack, destroying the artillery of the German counterattack. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, these counter-German artillery guns were only half of all Zhukov's cannons, and the other half Zhukov kept for emergency preparedness.

After their own artillery had finished striking the Germans and knocked out the German artillery group, the Katyusha rockets loaded on the trucks had already shifted their positions, and the reloaded "Katyusha" would come with a salvo.

In this way, the first line of defense occupied by the Germans was completely destroyed, and under the blows of so many "Katyushas", Zhukov believed that no matter how many German tanks there were, no matter how advanced they were, they would all be turned into scrap metal.

After the artillery was ready, Zhukov would order a corps of Soviet infantry and an armored corps to assault the section of the line that had just been shelled, and after breaking through the second line of defense, Zhukov would take advantage of the darkness to continue the counterattack, which would end two hours before dawn.

At this time, the five armies and one armored corps deployed in front of the German army would also storm the first line of defense of the German army on all fronts, and Zhukov's purpose was to beat the treacherous Russian Liberation Army into fear.

Zhukov mobilized eight elite Soviet infantry for this counterattack, and two armored armies with a thousand tanks, and now most of the Soviet tanks are T34 and Sherman, which is not bad, T34 and Sherman can be on par with the German No. 4 tank, but the German Leopard tank has an overwhelming advantage, but the number of German Leopard tanks is not very large.

In addition, Zhukov still has hundreds of Katyusha rocket launchers in his hands, and with the support of the "Katyusha" rocket artillery of the Soviet army, Zhukov really has the strength to stand with the German army and the Russian Liberation Army.

Among the blocking troops sent by the Moscow defense circle, the eight corps that participated in the counterattack, they are all veterans, and after several actual battles, these armies are the most elite units of the 800,000 blocking troops of the Soviet army.

Originally, Zhukov expected that all the troop movements would not be completed until 11 o'clock, but all of them were in place at 10 o'clock in the evening, so that Zhukov had an extra hour of attack time, because the German army had all the air supremacy, so all Zhukov's attacks must be stopped at 5 o'clock in the morning, otherwise he would wait to be bombed indiscriminately by German planes.

……

"Hartman, are you kid ready for the night bomber?"

"Report to Commander-in-Chief Catherine, it's ready, Commander-in-Chief, there aren't many of our bombers suitable for night flights, there are only a few more than a hundred in total."

"That's right, you call all the pilots on standby, ready to strike at any time."

"Yes! Commander in chief. ”

Hartmann's night bomber is an ordinary bomber that has been slightly modified, and it can barely take off and land at night, and the German horizontal bombers are tactical bombers with a bomb load of more than 3 tons, and I don't know if this aircraft can play some role.

When the hands of the clock pointed to 10:10, more than 500 "Katyusha" of the Soviet army began to roar, and countless "Katyusha" rockets dragged a long tail flame and flew towards the first line of defense occupied by the Germans.

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

The violent explosion instantly reflected half of the sky, and all the fortifications and tanks on the first line of defense were under her cover, and as a result, everything on the first line of defense turned into scum.

Croft, the commander of the German SS Panzer Division, who had already retreated ten kilometers, did not dare to let go of the handrails in the tank because of the violent explosion, and the German tanks of dozens of tons were constantly beating.

The time of the Soviet rocket attack of the "Katyusha" was extremely short, the whole process was ten seconds, and the German artillery did not have time to counterattack at all.

It took only 10 seconds for the "Katyusha" to launch 16 rockets, and it was immediately ready to start, and the German artillery did not have the slightest chance of counterattacking. Besides, the German artillery groups were all behind the first line of defense, and they could not attack the "Katyusha" artillery group outside the first line of defense.

In such a short period of time, the Soviet army poured countless powerful "Katyusha" rockets on the first line of defense occupied by the Germans, and the hundreds of alert troops left by Croft on the position were not left with such a fierce bombardment.

After the Soviet army's "Katyusha" volley, it quickly disappeared into the night, leaving only the tragic situation of the first line of defense being shattered, fortunately there were no German tanks and many troops on the position, and Rommel's arrangement allowed the three tank divisions such as Croft to escape.

This was only the first step of the Soviet army, and the second step of the Soviet army's attack was soon launched, and countless artillery pieces began to shell fiercely against the first line of defense, and the shells flying in the sky with orange firelight drew an arc towards the first line of defense and smashed down.

The first line of defense, which had already been shattered by the bombing, fell into the purgatory of fire once again in an instant, trembling, burning, and tearing under the fierce shelling, and not an inch of land could escape the test of purgatory. The German artillery counterattack expected by the Soviet army did not appear, which is really a bit abnormal,

Originally serving in the Far East, he was a platoon commander a year ago, and he was unusually promoted to captain battalion commander in the Far East for his several great achievements in the war against Japan.

Regarding the abnormal situation on the front, Erod found that the German army was really a bit abnormal, and hurriedly reflected this situation.

Zhukov soon received a report from the front, according to Zhukov's understanding, that is, they destroyed the German artillery group, and Zhukov still gave the order to attack according to the original plan in order to pay attention to Erod's report.

Hundreds of thousands of troops are now all in place, and it is impossible for Zhukov to give up the attack because the German side is a little abnormal, that is not Zhukov's character, as long as it is something that Zhukov believes, it is difficult for Zhukov to turn back or change his mind due to external factors.

More than 500 tanks of Zhukov's Panzer Corps roared and crushed the German defense line, but the 500 tanks were still amazing. Croft's infantry followed the tanks.

Lieutenant General Oliver, as the supreme commander of the counterattack forces, once commanded the armored forces in the Far East to fight against the Japanese tank wings, Oliver easily annihilated several tank wings in small Japan, although the tanks of small Japan were junk, but this gave Oliver a lot of combat experience.

The little alert force left by Croft on the first line of defense was long gone, and the rocket artillery and artillery bombardment directly wiped them all away, as if they had never come to lead the world.

To Watch or Not to Watch

You see, or don't look at me

I was right there

Not sad or happy

You read me, or you don't read me

The love is there

Don't come and go

You take it, or you don't take it from me

The love is there

Neither increase nor decrease

You order, or you don't subscribe to me

My hand is in yours

Don't give up

Come into my arms

Or let me live in your heart

Silently in love

Silence and joy (to be continued.) )
