Leonard's path was full of violent explosions one after another, including the explosion of artillery shells and the detonation of anti-tank mines, and the smoke of gunpowder covered Leonard's path in an instant. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The German artillery bombarded the area indiscriminately for five minutes before extending forward, and when the smoke cleared, Leonard found himself in the path of large and small craters.

Of course, these craters will affect the speed of the tank's assault, but they can't stop the tank from moving forward, and Leonard doesn't rely on speed to break through the Soviet position, and it's nothing to reach the fourth line of defense of the Soviet army slower, but at night you must retreat more than ten kilometers according to the command command.

Claes will choose to rush as long as he feels that he can rush, and Leonard himself is a gentle personality who does not rush to do anything, as for that kind of personality is more suitable for fighting, this is really hard to say.

By the time the German artillery had cleared Leonard's path of advance, it was almost an hour, and it was already four o'clock in the afternoon after Leonard drove the entire armored assault group to the fourth line of defense of the Soviet army.

Leonard chose to strike at a speed of five to ten kilometers per hour, as Leonard did, with the armored vehicles and the infantry that followed them slowly crushing the Soviet fourth line of defense.

Although the political commissar on the four lines of defense of the Soviet army desperately commanded the Soviet soldiers and militia to resist, but in front of the superior armored assault group of the German army, it was still annihilated, and Leonard took the fourth line of defense of the entire Soviet army for a full two hours, which means that the time at this time was six o'clock in the evening.

The Soviet Union was geographically northerly, and at six o'clock, the sky was almost starting to darken, and the sun was about to fall below the horizon.

Guderian ordered Leonard to immediately organize all the infantry who followed him to repair the four lines of defense left by the Soviet army, and then when it was completely dark, all the tanks and most of the infantry were retreated to the third line of defense, leaving only a small number of alert troops on the fourth line of defense.

What Leonard couldn't understand was that since the fourth line of defense was to be repaired, it must be to prevent the Soviets from taking advantage of the night to retake it, how could all the armored forces and most of the infantry retreat to the third line of defense in this case!

Leonard couldn't figure it out, but Leonard wasn't Claes, and Leonard, who couldn't figure it out, still carried out Guderian's orders to the letter.

By 8 p.m., Leonard had repaired the four lines of defense of the occupied Soviet army, and by this time it was completely dark, and Leonard began to organize a retreat.

Leonard, a line of defense more than ten kilometers wide, left about a battalion of troops, and each squad was equipped with a walkie-talkie, which could notify the troops of the third line of defense in time if there was a situation.

The Germans withdrew by night, not only in Group A, but also in the other two groups to the third line of defense, leaving only a small number of troops on the four lines of defense that were occupied.

The three armored assault groups of the German army are like three steel nails inserted into Timoshenko's defensive position, each group of armored assault groups is about 20 kilometers apart, as long as the German army has two breakthroughs, the Soviet troops on the 20-kilometer defense line in the middle are the turtles in the urn, of course, the task of destroying them is the task of the German infantry, and the German armored troops do not have to worry about it at all.

The night was already very deep, and there was not even a crescent moon or a trace of starlight in the thick ink-like sky. Occasionally, a meteor swept through the night sky with a cool feeling, and the blazing white light was so bleak and miserable.

The wind, which blew in the evening, was at first a little gentle, wisps, moving the treetops and leaves, and then it became more and more vigorous and strong, twisting the wind, almost as ferocious as a bison, rolling and rushing on every line of defense in the Baku region.

The headquarters of the German Army Group South was still brightly lit, Guderian and Manstein did not sleep, judging from the various information transmitted from the front, everything was normal, and his side had taken all precautions, just waiting for Timoshenko to play his cards.

Timoshenko and Chuikov were also in high spirits, and from 8 p.m. Timoshenko ordered all his artillery to be deployed in front of the fourth line of defense occupied by the Germans.

After careful deliberation by Timoshenko, Timoshenko judged that the Germans should have left a large number of armored forces and infantry on the four lines of defense to prevent the Soviet counterattack at night.

This is easy to do, his own more than 1,000 cannons and 100 "Katyusha" rocket launchers can completely destroy the German troops in this defensive line, but in order to prevent the counterattack of the German artillery, Timoshenko divided the artillery group into two parts, and the "Katyusha" is a separate part.

In light of the specific situation of both the enemy and us, Timoshenko drew up the following battle plan: First, 500 "Katyusha" rocket artillery pieces were concentrated to suddenly bombard the fourth line of defense occupied by the German army.

Although the power of the "Katyusha" rocket launcher is very large, but when it is fired, the fire is also large, and the range is only a pitiful 8.5 kilometers, it is easy to be counterattacked by the German artillery, so it can only run after the fight, and when the German artillery group begins to counterattack, Timoshenko's hidden artillery will immediately calculate the position of the German artillery, and then violently counterattack to destroy the artillery of the German counterattack.

Of course, these counter-German artillery cannons were only half of all Timoshenko's cannons, and the other half of Timoshenko's anti-emergency artillery was left behind.

After their own artillery had finished striking the German artillery and knocked out the German artillery group, their Katyusha rocket artillery had already shifted their positions, and the reloaded "Katyusha" would come with a salvo to completely destroy the fourth line of defense occupied by the Germans.

Under the blows of so many "Katyushas", Timoshenko believed that no matter how many German tanks there were, no matter how advanced they were, they would all be turned into scrap metal.
