Biquge EbookFREE.me, update my latest chapter of the third empire as soon as possible!
On the morning of January 3, the Germans held on to the main line of defense. Among the ruins of Ovruchi, the grenadiers shot wildly at the Soviet soldiers who rushed up, and the two sides remained in each foxhole In the craters under the battle repeatedly, every inch of land seems to be filled with the lives of countless soldiers on both sides.
The Soviet Red Army ’s offensive seemed to be no longer sharp, because they hit German soldiers who were determined to stay on their positions. Rokosovsky finally knew how tough the German soldiers in front of him were. He also knew what terrible opponents his predecessors faced.
"Comrade General! Let me rush again! This time I promise to be able to win the opposite highlands!" The bearded commander of the 2nd Front of the Guard, the most capable general under Rokosovsky, At this moment, there was a bandage on his head, and there was blood oozing out. He was hit by a shrapnel and flew his helmet during the charge just now, leaving a deep wound on his head.
However, he simply bandaged and asked to return to the front line and continue to lead his troops to attack. Unfortunately, after listening to his request, Rokosovsky waved his hands helplessly to reject his proposal: " I have changed an offensive force, and 100 brand-new kv-1 tanks have also been pushed up. I do n’t believe that their defense line is iron, and such a strong force cannot be taken down! "
When he said this, his voice was a little bit embarrassed, because of the failure of the continuous attack, how his mood is now can be imagined, and now he has been on the commander of the other party, he wants to use the cleanest The way to attack the highland before the next, and then to the back of this highland, has been turned into ruins by the gunfire Ovruchi.
"Stand up!" A political worker stood in front of the lined-up Soviet soldiers and raised his arm holding the pistol high: "Comrades! We cannot live up to Comrade Stalin's trust in us! We must fight for the future of the motherland to the last minute ! The great motherland is with us! The great leader Comrade Stalin is with us! "
"For the motherland!" Everyone clenched the rifle in their hands and replied loudly.
"Attack! Let the German know the power of our Soviets!" The commander ordered the attack. He took the lead in the direction of the dense gunshots. Behind him, a full of 1,000 soldiers were armed with their own weapons. Started a step and launched a new round of attack in the deep snow.
Every time the German position was attacked, the Soviets filled a gap with a whole regimental of soldiers. 1000 people pulled up to start the attack, and even 200 people might not be left, but the new 1,000 people were pushed onto the battlefield. It seems that this battle will never end.
The Germans were not passively beaten this time. More than 20 leopard tanks rushed out of the concealed bunker. These tanks caused great trouble to the attacking Soviet Red Army. At least a large number of kv-1 tanks involved in the attack became The wreckage burned on the battlefield where tracer bombs flew over.
In front of the position, there were German minefields. German soldiers laid down 20,000 mines last night. Now the minefields in this minefield are almost empty. The Soviet Red Army carried out rough demining work with artillery. , And then rely on the soldiers to use their feet to step on the rest, turning a minefield into a clean passable area.
There is no white snow in this area. The ground is either cold or solid blood stained, or black muddy land that has been trampled by people countless times. The rest is the corpses that can't be seen at a glance, the corpses of the Germans, and the corpses of the Soviets.
German mortars have become the most reliable assault weapons that infantry can rely on. At least after the Soviet Red Army's heavy artillery fire covers, these small mobile firepower can provide fire support and can cause considerable damage to the opponent. Coupled with the German Grenadiers ’haunted light machine guns, the Soviets paid a heavy price in front of the German positions.
In the roar of Rokosovsky, the Soviet soldiers finally attacked the main German defensive position around 4 p.m. that day, although they did not find the German front line commander, they found one side and burned it. Half of the regimental flag and a divisional flag that burned two-thirds of the division. This marked that the second formation division of the German army was annihilated by the Soviet Union, and all obstacles outside the German army were removed by the Soviets.
The Soviets began to attack the urban area overnight, but found that it was a killing paradise carefully constructed by the Germans. The streets and buildings that had become ruins had become an excellent place for the German army to hide. The lives of Soviet soldiers.
The two sides fought from more than 8 o'clock in the morning until the next morning, the Germans still controlled more than half of the blocks, and the Soviets had no way to break through this ruin. The German army has killed 20,000 people here, and the huge price paid by the Soviet Red Army can be imagined. The two infantry corps responsible for the main attack basically hit a spotlight, and Rokosovsky still failed to capture the city called Ovruchi on time.
Contrasting with the northern attack of the Soviet Red Army, the German army was responsible for the main attack of the G group. Guderian ’s troops also reached the designated position on the day of January 3. Compared with the difficulty of Rokosovsky, his troops Although the loss is not small, it is not that huge. Moreover, the G Army also captured a full of 150,000 Soviet soldiers and cleaned the periphery of Shebelinka in front of them.
Under the order of Guderian, the Germans also opened the prelude to the city battle on the same day, but the Soviet Red Army guards near Shebelinka obviously did not have the combat capabilities of the German e-group army. The fight was very heroic, but in the end of the day, they were driven out of Shebelinka and lost the south gate of Kharkov.
As for how tenacious this army was fighting, Guderian praised the Soviet army in a private letter to Broussich, and the Soviet Red Army with a division was guarded in the center of Shebelinka, Until they hit the food and never surrendered, they finally lit the building in the city center and martyred the country with their own weapons.
And another army also resisted stubbornly until the afternoon of the same day. Without the anti-tank weapons, this army held its position until the last moment. This Soviet infantry regiment hit the last one when the regiment was killed. The soldiers still refused to surrender. Compared with the collapsing and captured prisoners in the city, they can be said to be a concentrated expression of the bravery of the Soviet Red Army.
Guderian finally stood at the door of Kharkov's house, and also stood on the edge of the trap that Zhukov had dug for him. At this time, he was in the city of Shebelinka that he had just occupied. In a residential house occupied by the IDF and cleaned, he unfolded the battle map in his hand.
He looked at Kharkov, who was near his mouth, and then raised his head to look at his chief of staff, the commander of the 1st armored division who came to the army headquarters, and the commander of the SS 3rd armored division Waiting for someone, opened his mouth and laughed. He pressed his hand on the map, above the city of Kharkov, watching his men.
"General Guderian, my division needs rest, after all, the continuous fighting makes them exhausted." Flick took the lead in complaining. His armored division had something to do with his head, but it needed to be rehabilitated. He was really talking nonsense with his eyes open. He followed Gudrian ’s journey to the south, at least when he was fighting in France, he needed more rest than now. At that time, he But there is no such request for rest.
On the other side, the commander of the 1st Armored Division also splashed dirty water on himself: "My troops lost a lot, the ammunition consumption was huge, and ... they also lacked rest and could not attack immediately."
Since Guderian was promoted to commander-in-chief of the G Group Army, the commander of the 1st Armored Army became the first general to follow Akado Hulk. Became the captain of the Empire's elite armored forces. He watched the two armored division commanders who were under his jurisdiction complaining, but did not speak. As a typical Prussian soldier, he only obeyed orders but did not like to speak—even if the order was wrong.
In fact, the commanders of the armored soldiers were so far off because they were worried that their troops would suffer heavy losses in street fighting, so they made various excuses. They do not need to rest, but do not want to enter the city of Kharkov, which is permeated with evil spirits. Many grassroots commanders have seen that the city is full of danger, so they would rather complain and sell well, rather than be the first to be sent to attack.
Guderian once said, "Don't believe that your soldiers tell you that there is no fuel, because once they need to rest, they will have no fuel!" Now he naturally knew what his men were talking about. What, so he laughed.
"Hahaha!" After a few laughs, he looked at his men again. Then he spoke slowly, seeming to do it deliberately, with a bit of teasing and said: "So many troops need to rest, but I still have a lot of combat tasks to be arranged, there must always be troops to start the task of continuing to attack, not What? "
His words plunged everyone into deep fear. It seems that Kharkov is a city full of nails, and this time the G Army did not go in. When everyone was in a dilemma, I only heard Goodrian and then said: "I thought the new attack would make everyone rush to complete it. It seems that everyone really needs a rest."
