“The Germans are coming!”
“Quick, stop them!”
On the Soviet position, the remaining part of the Soviet army was ready to hold its position and defend it to the end.
However, when the German army bombarded them with overwhelming artillery fire, they immediately realized that it was not as easy as they imagined to hold their position! The
German attack was very targeted. In addition to the bombardment of the heavy artillery, they also dispatched a large number of assault guns to close fire on the Soviet firepower points.
The German assault guns have excellent mobility and can run while fighting.
Whenever they found a Soviet firepower point, they immediately opened fire to kill it.
The Soviet army here was originally just a remnant, with a small number of people and not very perfect fortifications.
The German bombing and artillery bombardment destroyed nearly 70% of the fortifications, and at this time, the random attack of the No. 3 assault gun destroyed the few remaining fortifications.
After losing these fortifications, the Soviet soldiers were forced to use their flesh and blood to fight against the German steel torrent.
13 For such a battle, the outcome is already determined before it even begins!
After daybreak, Guderian stood on the battlefield, glanced at the battlefield full of smoke, and jumped onto an armored vehicle. He raised his telescope and looked into the distance.
No trace of the main Soviet force was found at the end of his sight, and the reconnaissance aircraft of his own air force had actually been dispatched. If the main force of the enemy approached them, the reconnaissance troops would definitely issue a warning at the first time.
So for them, they could seize the time to sweep the battlefield while resting on the spot and preparing for the next battle.
“How is the situation over there with General Bock?”
After taking over the city of Lida, Guderian had the idea of stationing troops there to block the main Soviet forces.
However, if he really decided to do so, he had to get the help of General Bock’s Eighth Army.
However, according to the original battle plan, after they took over the capital of the White Bear, Mins, the German army should have stationed troops there and built a line of defense based on Mins to resist the enemy’s attack.
However, Guderian did not play according to the routine. He took the initiative to attack and approached the west. He devoured the Soviet vanguard troops under the noses of the Soviet army and pushed the front line westward by nearly 150 kilometers.
This place is closer to the Polish front. If a decisive battle breaks out here, the pressure on the logistics support work of the Third Reich will be reduced a lot.
So Guderian’s desire to fight a decisive battle here is not a sudden whim, but a careful consideration.
However, his battle plan has not yet been approved by the Führer. The General Staff of Crying Berlin is probably still reviewing it. Guderian was unsure whether his plan could be successfully passed after reviewing the battle plan he had just submitted.
In this case, if he wanted to implement his plan, he had to rely on General Bock to fully cooperate with his actions!
With the strength of Guderian’s army, he certainly did not dare to confront the Soviet army of millions of people head-on. However, if General Bock’s Eighth Army was added, the situation would be different.
The German army, which has two field armies, will have more than 700,000 troops!
Although 700,000 people are unlikely to defeat the nearly 3 million Soviet troops head-on, they can completely defend the dangerous area and block the Soviet army in the west, preventing them from advancing half a step to the east!
As long as they can stop the Soviet army, their mission will be completed. As for who will destroy the Soviet army, it will naturally be left to the main force of the German army to complete!
The First Army and the Eighth Army have already fought for thousands of kilometers, and both armies have reached the end of their strength, so it is impossible for them to solve the Soviet army alone!
“The main force of the Eighth Army is still in Mins!”
The staff officer’s answer made Guderian feel gloomy!
Bock was as conservative as the rumors said!
But this was in line with his character. His plan had not been approved by Berlin. If he acted on his own and caused the loss of Mins, he would be held responsible.
So from Bock’s perspective, it was easy to understand why he did not take action.
After all, this battle was of great significance to Bock!
“Okay, let’s clean up the battlefield quickly, our old friends are coming, let’s prepare a surprise for them!”
……
Guderian did give Timoshenko a big surprise!
“The German army is so fast. We just heard about them three days ago, and in less than two days, they broke through the cities of Mins and Lida one after another, and piled the blockade in front of us!”
Budonny’s face turned pale, and he drew a line on the map and said seriously:
“Right now the German Army’s Southern and Northern Army Groups are moving towards our flanks. Their intention is very clear, they want to catch us all in one fell swoop and wipe us out here!”
“If we are slow and cannot break out before the German encirclement is completely completed, then what awaits us will be an encirclement of unprecedented scale, and half of the white bear will become a battlefield!”
Budonny was very shocked by the German army’s generosity, and 387 was also very frightened.
The total number of German troops dispatched at this time has exceeded three million. If the armies of the vassal states and the coalition forces are counted, the number of troops is close to five million!
Five million against their three million, their troop disadvantage is too obvious!
Moreover, through the battles of the past few days, especially the Battle of Mins and the Battle of Lida, they can clearly see that the German army has an overwhelming advantage in both field battles and siege battles.
The gap in strength between the two sides may be greater than the gap in strength seen on paper!
Thinking of this, neither Timoshenko nor Budonny felt that if they were surrounded, they would have any chance of survival!
“I also want to break out, but look around us, in all directions, is there any direction without enemies?”
“Break out, where to break out? Even our rear base, Mins City, has been occupied by the enemy. To be honest, I don’t know how to fight the next battle!”
Timuxinge has fought all his life and has never encountered such a bad situation.
Even when the White Army launched a full-scale attack on them, he didn’t find it as difficult as it is today!
The opponent seems to be their natural enemy, suppressing them to death, leaving them no room for resistance! _To read the ununderlined version of the novel, please download the Faloo Novel APP!
