Ten o'clock in the morning.

The shelling gradually ended, and according to the battle plan, the shelling lasted for one hour, and except for the rocket artillery regiment of the heavy artillery brigade, which did not participate in the shelling, the remaining five major artillery regiments all participated in the shelling, and carried out fierce shelling of many positions of the German army.

An hour of artillery bombardment not only covered the forward positions of the German army, but also carried out extended artillery shelling, shelling into the depth of the German positions, and the artillery fire of the 1st Army even extended to the edge of the small city of Gary.

The soldiers who had been preparing for the attack for a long time, when they saw the end of the shelling, everyone knew that it was about to be their turn to play, and all kinds of combat vehicles such as tanks, armored vehicles, and off-road vehicles were launched one after another, and the soldiers of the infantry regiment who followed these tanks to attack together were also full of expressions, and they all held their weapons and prepared to start the attack.

Several dazzling signal flares rose into the sky, and when everyone saw the flares, they immediately let out a thunderous shout: "Comrades! Everyone's rushing!! ”

The three tank regiments of the 1st Army, the three major mechanized infantry regiments all participated in the offensive, in addition, quite a few infantry regiments participated in the offensive, and the fighters poured into the German army from different directions.

"Da, da, da......"

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Everywhere there was the sound of gunfire and the shouts of soldiers, and the soldiers of the 1st Army who participated in the attack exceeded 30,000, two or three times the number of the German troops.

Under the hour's artillery bombardment, the Germans suffered many casualties, far fewer than the attacking 1st Army soldiers, and a large amount of German equipment was destroyed by heavy artillery fire. In particular, the anti-aircraft guns that the Germans were preparing to use against the soldiers' combat vehicles were badly damaged.

West.

A tank regiment and two infantry regiments are attacking, the German positions in the west of the city have been heavily damaged, thousands of German troops have lost more than half, and the entire German positions are full of big pits, corpses, bombed-out cars, armored vehicles, and even all kinds of artillery pieces one by one.

Tank regiments of hundreds of Type 39 tanks. Thirty or forty armored vehicles. Towards the positions of the German troops, behind this group of tanks, a large number of fighters were running to follow, and the fighters were less than a few hundred meters from the forward positions of the German troops.

At this time. The fighters met with little resistance. Many German troops have not yet recovered from the bombardment. The violent and dense explosion just now, the remnants of the German army not only did not come to their senses, but also dizzy.

There were only a handful of German troops. Hearing the shouts of the sky all around, the rumble of a large number of chariots, these German soldiers got up and looked into the distance, and at this sight, these German soldiers were shocked.

Not far from him, the Chinese army had already come up, and there were a large number of tanks, these German troops forced themselves to get up, and while shouting to the German soldiers next to them, they hurriedly set up their weapons.

There were even a few Germans who hurriedly ran to a 50-mm anti-aircraft gun not far from them, and the Chinese army came over with so many combat vehicles, and the use of anti-aircraft guns was the best choice.

However, the Germans were soon disappointed, and the 50mm anti-aircraft gun was obviously no longer usable, so they had no choice but to pick up the rifles scattered on the ground and some machine guns to shoot.

Among this group of Germans, two Germans were lucky, and quickly found an MG42 general-purpose machine gun, and prepared to shoot with the machine gun mounted.

On the German position, several German officers also came to their senses, a German colonel, looked at the Chinese troops not far from him, and then looked at his own position, his heart was full of despair, on his own position, there may be less than a thousand people engaged in the battle now, and there are still many people, still struggling, ready to fight.

These German soldiers who were still struggling were basically wounded, and some were even seriously wounded, and the entire German position, all the German troops combined, were less than 2,000, including the light and serious wounded of the German army.

The German colonel, with a desperate look on his face, hurriedly picked up a phone next to him and shook it violently, apparently to report the situation to his own headquarters in the city and ask for reinforcements, but the German colonel was disappointed, the telephone line was blown up, and he couldn't get through.

The Chinese army soon came up, and quite a few Type 39 tanks had already begun to fire.

On the German position, a machine gun and a few two or three anti-aircraft guns that had been erected with great difficulty were the first to be hit.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

As many tanks opened fire, shells exploded on the German positions, and one German machine gun was blown away.

The barrel of a moving Type 39 tank flashed with fire, and a shell whistled out, successfully hitting a German machine gun three or four hundred meters away.

A Type 39 tank found a German anti-aircraft gun that seemed to be relatively intact, and next to this anti-aircraft gun, several German soldiers were busy.

Seeing this situation, the tank immediately aimed its muzzle at the German anti-aircraft gun, and a high-explosive bomb whistled out, with a loud "boom", the anti-aircraft gun was immediately unrecognizable, completely reimbursed, and the Germans next to the gun were also killed.

As the tanks opened fire, the Type 39 armored personnel carriers, and the wheeled infantry fighting vehicles also began to fire, and the 30-mm cannons on these tanks began to fire shells at the German troops, and one shell after another exploded on the German positions.

The whole battle, there was almost only the firing of Type 39 tanks, Type 39 armored personnel carriers, wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, the German return fire was very weak, sparse, and the German machine guns often just fired a few times, and then they were destroyed.

The fighters went smoothly on the offensive and soon rushed to the positions of the German troops, and with a large number of combat vehicles, a large number of infantry fighters rushed to the positions of the German troops, and the German troops on the positions were quickly cleared, and the sound of AK-47 assault rifles sounded from time to time on the positions.

After an hour, the position gradually quieted down, the soldiers successfully occupied this position, thousands of German troops, after being heavily shelled, faced the 1st Army with a tank regiment, two infantry regiments, almost all the army was wiped out, only two or three hundred German troops survived, and these two or three hundred German soldiers became prisoners of the soldiers.

The Germans, with their hands held high, looking blank or dejected, lined up in a long line, guarded by their fighters' AK-47 assault rifles, were leaving.

Most of the warriors continued to advance, leaving only about a battalion of warriors to clean up the battlefield here, and the rest of the warriors began to march into the city.

This was the case in the west of the city, and basically the same was true in the south, east, and north of the city, and after the soldiers launched a general attack, they quickly broke through the German defenses and began to approach the city.

The large-scale ground offensive was the second wave of attacks by the fighters, but so far it seems that the second wave of attacks has gone very well, and all the German outlying positions have been occupied by the fighters.

The remnants of the German army have begun to retreat into the city, preparing to defend the city, Gary is only a small city, the remnants of the German army have basically lost all their heavy weapons, only about three or four thousand people are cowering in the city.

At about 12 o'clock in the morning, the soldiers of the 1st Group had surrounded the small city, and many soldiers of the infantry regiment were ready to enter the city to engage in street battles with the Germans.

According to the battle plan, the three mechanized infantry regiments of the 1st Army, plus three infantry regiments, would enter the city to fight, while the rest of the troops would rest outside the city or clean up the battlefield.

The town was too small for all the warriors to go into the city to fight.

Cheng.

There was also a huge battlefield here, the battle was over, and about a regiment of infantry fighters was cleaning the battlefield here, and on the periphery of the battlefield, there was also a tank regiment resting there.

The soldiers of this infantry regiment, while cleaning the battlefield, chatted from time to time, each soldier's face was filled with joy, just now, everyone fought a big victory, the mood is naturally good, but many soldiers show a look of envy, the soldiers who clean the battlefield, from time to time to look at the distance, look at those soldiers who are now ready to enter the city to fight.

Unable to enter the city to fight, staying here to clean up the battlefield, these soldiers are somewhat envious of the other soldiers who can enter the city.

"Captain! The comrades of the 1st Regiment were lucky and were about to enter the city to fight, while our 2nd Regiment stayed here to clean up the battlefield. ”

Next to him, a captain and company commander looked a little envious at the regiment of soldiers outside the city who were preparing to enter the city in the distance.

Hearing this, the commander of the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Infantry Division of the 1st Group Army couldn't help but smile and comforted: "This time it is the turn of the 1st Regiment to enter the city to fight, maybe, next time it will be our 2nd Regiment's turn." ”

Seeing that his regiment commander said this, the captain company commander scratched his head, smiled hehe, felt that it made sense, and the envious look on his face lightened a little.

At this time, a messenger came over from an armored command vehicle next to him and reported loudly: "Regiment commander, the command of the group army has called, a large number of German reinforcements are coming to us, and the command headquarters orders us to cooperate with the 1st Tank Regiment to block the attack." ”

The infantry in the north of the city belonged to the 1st Infantry Division of the 1st Army, and the 1st Tank Regiment was resting in the distance, and the 1st Tank Regiment had apparently received an order, and quite a few soldiers were getting into their tanks and preparing for battle.

More than 20,000 German troops stationed in Suez, riding in a large number of trucks, cars, and even armored personnel carriers, are running forward, led by dozens of tanks.

The German army in the area of Gary was heavily damaged, and Rommy realized that if he did not reinforce Gary, the German army here would be completely annihilated, and Gary's German army would be annihilated, and the German army in Suez might not be able to stop the pace of the Chinese army's attack.

Rather than being crushed by the Chinese army individually, it is better to make a desperate gamble and send all the German troops stationed in Suez, and the remaining thousands of German troops in the city of Gary to flank the Chinese army on both sides, and there may be a slight chance of victory.

Suez was very close to this, and the Germans, having received orders, were rushing in this direction.
