,!
Almost an hour later, Ponejelin called Sokov and reported to him: "Comrade Commander, all our troops are ready to attack the German army in front. We are waiting for you. Final order!"
Before replying to Ponedelin, Sokov turned to ask Tsarev, who was sitting at the table chatting with Smirnov: "General Tsarev, are your artillery ready?"
"Yes, Comrade Commander." Tsarev nodded and said: "One howitzer artillery division, two self-propelled artillery regiments and six Guards Rocket Battalions are ready to fire."
"Fire, General Tsarev."
After giving the order to fire, Sokov said into the microphone: "I have ordered the artillery to fire. After our artillery disperses the assembled German troops, you can launch an attack again. This way, you can break through at a very small cost." German defensive position.”
As the order to fire was given, shells flew across the sky one after another, flying towards the direction where the German troops were gathering.
Artillery shells and rockets of different calibers fell like hail. The attack was canceled and the German troops who had not yet had time to evacuate were immediately enveloped in artillery fire.
Cannons roared and shrapnel flew. After learning that there was no need to attack the Soviet positions, these German soldiers were preparing to return to their respective stations, but they were suddenly attacked by artillery fire. Many officers and soldiers had no time to hide and evacuate. He was lifted into the sky by the air wave of the shell explosion, and fell heavily again, turning into a mutilated corpse.
Compared with the Soviet commanders and fighters who were about to attack them, these German officers and soldiers were considered elite. But the Soviet army didn't compete with you in marksmanship or bayonets. They just bombarded them with artillery fire from a distance. Even if the Germans wanted to fight back, they couldn't see the target and could only be blown to pieces in the dense artillery fire.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the German commander quickly issued evacuation and retreat orders to reduce the casualties of the troops.
But it was too late. The assembled troops had already fallen into chaos under the Soviet artillery fire. The officers and soldiers were scurrying around like headless flies, each looking for a safe place. The German commander's orders could not be conveyed at all. Go down.
Ponejelin stood in the observation post and saw through the telescope that the German army was in chaos. He couldn't help but cheer. Then he put down the telescope, came to the table, picked up the phone, and called Chuvashov and Shechtman respectively, telling them that the German army had fallen into chaos under the attack of artillery fire, leaving them Be prepared for battle and attack the enemy as soon as the bombardment stops.
Sokov received a call from Ponedelin and knew that the German army had fallen into chaos under the fierce artillery fire, so he called Burgos, director of the armored forces: "Comrade Colonel, the German army has assembled. The troops have fallen into chaos under the powerful artillery fire of our army. You immediately notify the commanders and fighters of the tank brigade, and as soon as the artillery fire stops, they will immediately launch an attack on the enemy's position."
"Comrade Commander," Burgos reminded Sokov carefully: "The Germans have many anti-tank fighters. If we don't have infantry to cooperate, I'm afraid we won't be able to advance very far."
"Don't worry, Colonel Burgos." Sokov said with a smile: "Behind your tank brigade, there will be three infantry divisions following. If the German anti-tank fighters don't show up, they will be beaten. Kill our commanders immediately."
While the bombardment continued, the two tank brigades commanded by Burgos had already passed the position held by Ponejelin's troops and headed towards the position where the artillery fire was pouring.
The reason why he led the tank troops to attack at this moment was because he understood Sokov's tactics, which was to quietly approach the enemy while the German army was under shelling and unable to observe the battlefield, and then launch an attack as soon as the shelling ended.
If you are an infantryman, you must stay two hundred meters away from the artillery attack area to avoid being harmed by your own artillery fire. But if it is a tank unit, there is no such scruple. Let alone two hundred meters, even if it is only fifty meters, as long as it is not directly hit by artillery fire, the flying shrapnel will not harm the crew in the tank.
Ponejelin saw that all the tank troops were advancing forward, and there was nowhere left to sit still. He quickly ordered the infantry to follow up urgently. Even if they could only stay two or three hundred meters away from the enemy's position, the impact could be greatly shortened. distance.
As soon as the shelling stopped, those German officers and soldiers who were lucky enough to survive the shelling discovered that the Soviet tanks were approaching quickly, and immediately used anti-tank guns to deal with the oncoming tanks.
Anti-tank guns are indeed a powerful weapon against tanks, but in the recent shelling, most of the dozen or so original anti-tank guns had been destroyed by artillery fire. The remaining few anti-tank guns had to stop the two tank brigades. Assault, that is simply a fantasy.
Seven or eight tanks were lined up in a row, with their machine guns spraying bullets as they rolled towards the positions occupied by the Germans. The Soviet commanders and fighters following the tank were still sufficiently vigilant despite being covered by the tank. They ran for a while and then lay down on the spot, shooting, covering the tank's forward attack.
The German army, which had already fallen into chaos, except for a few soldiers who occupied favorable terrain and resisted stubbornly, the rest fled towards the back. Do they want to escape further and further away from the battlefield, or do they plan to withdraw to the next line of defense and continue to resist? But for them, as long as they do not surrender, it is only a matter of time before they are wiped out by the Soviet army.
Ponejelin also did not expect that the shelling disrupted the deployment of the German army. As soon as the tank troops rushed forward, the German defense collapsed in an instant, and there was no decent resistance at all. He originally wanted to capture the German positions and was content with that. But at this moment, he decided to adjust his deployment and charge as far into the enemy's depth as he could, completely disrupting the German defense deployment. Almost an hour later, Ponejelin called Sokov and reported to him: "Comrade Commander, all our troops are ready to attack the German army in front. We are waiting for you. Final order!"
Before replying to Ponedelin, Sokov turned to ask Tsarev, who was sitting at the table chatting with Smirnov: "General Tsarev, are your artillery ready?"
