I attack 80 to 100 kilometers during the day, and what if I retreat 20 kilometers at night, the artillery group I have deployed at a distance from the forward position is not vegetarian, as long as there are some vigilant forces to indicate the target, your surprise rocket artillery group will not want to leave.

With more than 1,500 heavy guns, more than 100 tanks and the same number of armored vehicles in Guderian's hands, Guderian was not afraid of Timoshenko's counter-assault in the night.

……

The General Headquarters of the Soviet Army in Petrovsk, Timoshenko and Tuvatin, are also anxious, mainly because Germany now has comprehensive air supremacy, and the artillery on his side is not enough for the German army to bomb, and Timoshenko has this hole card in his hand.

Timoshenko had six artillery divisions, two rocket artillery divisions, one anti-tank artillery division, and three anti-aircraft artillery divisions, and the USSR had always had artillery doctrine, and the artillery of the troops was also the best in the world.

Although Timoshenko had a lot of artillery in his hands, since the beginning of the Petrovsk campaign, the German Air Force has been staring at the bombardment of its own artillery units, even if Timoshenko has built protective sheds for each cannon, the losses are still very heavy.

Almost five out of ten, if the Germans are allowed to bomb like this, their own artillery and infantry will definitely run out, in this case, it is better to take advantage of the absence of Luftwaffe at night to concentrate all the artillery and launch a counter-raid.

This is what Timoshenko really thought, it doesn't matter if Petrovsk can't be held, the important thing is to inflict heavy losses on the Germans and delay the German offensive as much as possible.

This is also the task given to Timoshenko by Stalin, as for the hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops and hundreds of thousands of militia stationed in Petrovsk, the loss is forgotten.

Rommel was also an out-and-out artilleryist because of the influence of the later Celestial Army, but Germany did not have a separate artillery division, and Rommel only doubled the divisional artillery unit of the German army.

The Soviet artillery divisions were different, the Soviet artillery divisions were divided into three categories, one was the field artillery division, equipped with 60 76-mm field guns, 45 122-mm howitzers, and 30 152-mm howitzers.

The second is the anti-aircraft artillery division, also known as the anti-tank artillery division or mechanized artillery division, equipped with 50 45-mm anti-tank guns, 28 76-mm anti-tank guns, 12 100-mm anti-tank guns (not now, only later), and 35 self-propelled anti-tank guns.

The third is the anti-aircraft artillery division, which is equipped with 30 37-mm anti-aircraft guns, 16 57-mm anti-aircraft guns, 11 85-mm anti-aircraft guns, and 7 100-mm anti-aircraft guns (temporarily missing), as well as searchlight troops and radar units.

Most of the self-propelled guns of the Soviet army were assigned to armored units and mechanized units, and there were fewer of them in specialized artillery units, so most of these artillery divisions were equipped with towed artillery.

In addition, some artillery divisions are armed with a lot of large-caliber mortars, such as 120 mm, 160 mm and 210 mm ones.

In this way, an artillery division of the Soviet Union has about 230 artillery pieces of various calibers, and Timoshenko has 9 artillery divisions in his hands, and the total number of artillery pieces is only about 2,000.

Even if Timoshenko lost half of it, this raid would have been able to concentrate more than a thousand cannons, plus nine well-preserved Katyusha battalions, for a total of one hundred and eight Katyusha rocket launchers.

Timoshenko still has quite good artillery firepower so far, and the artillery firepower of the German army is also similar to that of Timoshenko, mainly because the Soviet army scattered the artillery in the early stage, which was caused by the lack of air supremacy, so the Soviet artillery has not played a role until now.

Now that Timoshenko had decided to concentrate on using his artillery, such a huge artillery firepower, and a joint counterattack with several divisions of infantry, Timoshenko was convinced that he could achieve great results.

"Comrade Tuvatin, I think we should take advantage of the evening, so that we can avoid our artillery being mortally threatened by the German army, and now we have this card in our hands, we must play it well."

"Commander-in-Chief Timoshenko, I completely agree with you, our current anti-tank mines can only blow up the tracks of German tanks, which will also play a role in delaying, if we have large-caliber anti-tank guns, we can kill these incapacitated German tanks, but we don't have them in our hands, and we can only use artillery to deal with the German army."

"Then let the front-line troops desperately delay the pace of the Germans, although our anti-tank mines can only blow up the tracks of the Germans' tanks, but we still have to bury a large number of front-line troops, we don't have the luxury of hoping to blow up the German tanks, so that he can be blown off the tracks and stay in place for several hours."

"Okay, I'll give the order to call the front-line troops to bury a large number of anti-tank mines, anyway, the German army is still resting, we can completely set up a few large minefields in an hour."

"Well, let's give the Germans a big dinner in the evening."

"Comrade Tuvatin, don't be too happy too early, I have carefully studied the tactics of the German army leader Guderian's **** raising, this **** raising soldiers is bold, and the strategy is quite not simple, and it is a fierce enemy of ours."

"Yes...... So what tactics do we use? ”

"Hide during the day and fight back at night."

……

The sad Claes repaired his damaged tanks on the third line of defense of the Soviet army, and the high-spirited Leonard began to attack with a huge armored assault group, the third line of defense of the Soviet army was about twenty kilometers away from the fourth line of defense, and Leonard walked particularly smoothly in the first ten kilometers, but a few kilometers behind, Leonard was tragic.

Because Leonard's armored assault group broke into the Soviet army's anti-tank mine array, and more than 50 of the more than 100 tanks were blown off the tracks, Leonard did not dare to let his tanks charge, so he quickly stopped, let the tanks that were not broken alert, and then came to repair the tank tracks, which was an hour or two.

Leonard, who had repaired all the damaged tank tracks, also did not dare to lead the armored assault group to charge directly, so Leonard chose to immediately retreat some distance, and then call the artillery unit to cover all the artillery fire in his path.

For the command of the front commander, Guderian delegated a lot of authority, although Leonard was only a commander with the rank of colonel, he could call in a large amount of artillery and aviation support until Leonard felt that the support was sufficient, and he could call for a halt to artillery support.

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

A few minutes later, the German army used hundreds of artillery pieces to support Leonard, and the dense shells fell on Leonard's path, although the anti-tank mine required 180 kilograms of strength to detonate, this large-caliber shell could completely detonate the anti-tank mine planted by the Soviet Union.
