"Most of the commanders, fighters and political workers of the 11th Tank Army and the 330th Infantry Division have been loyal to their oath and mission, and for the liberation of all mankind and the Soviet Fatherland, they have stuck to their posts and fought to the last soldier, every shot.
Now, the radio stations of the 11th Tank Army and the 330th Infantry Division of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army are about to be closed, and the German tank cluster has appeared near the headquarters of the 11th Tank Army, long live the world revolution, long live the great Soviet Fatherland, long live the great mentor and great leader Stalinc" Major General Rimowsk, Chief of Staff of the Western Front of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, read in a trembling tone the last telegram he had just received from the commander of the 10th Army, Popov, through the radio of the 11th tank army Now less than 24 hours before the German counterattack was launched, the Red Army's important stronghold in the northeast of Warsaw was captured by the Germans, the 100th Infantry Army suffered heavy losses, the 11th Tank Army was almost completely wiped out, of course, no one ran a lot, but the tanks and vehicles were almost all thrown away, and even the commander of the army group, Popov, was probably martyred for the cause of GCISM.
This defeat was almost another battle of Legiononovovovovomin And the situation reflected was even worse than the battle of Legionovovovovo, because the 4th Army at that time was caught off guard by the German heavy armored group, and now the 10th Army was crushed in less than 24 hours with the support of the defensive line.
This shows that the combat effectiveness of the German armored forces is far greater than previously expected The chief of staff of the Western Front, Limowskek, finished reading Popov's "telegram", and then stood there stunned.
The entire war room was also depressed, and the commander Pavlov's big bald head was covered with fine beads of sweat, and he sat there motionless.
Military Commissar Ponomarenko was smoking a smoky cigarette.
Now comrades such comrades as Popov, commander of the 10th Army, Bakharov, commander of the 22nd Tank Army, and Barons, commander of the 100th Infantry Army, have all given their lives for the cause of human liberation and are martyrs.
Of course, the martyrs could not have been sent by the enemy, and the Bolshevik Party paid attention to the martyrs, so the martyrs could not bear the responsibility for defeating the battle.
Then this sin is "Comrade Commander, Comrade Political Commissar" Limowsk's voice suddenly sounded again, and Pavlov and Ponomarenko looked up at the same time, only to see that the chief of staff of the Front had another copy of the telegram in his hand.
"Urgent telegram from the commander of the 3rd Army, Comrade Zhimachenko" The 3rd Army also had an accident, and Pavlov and Ponomarenko chuckled at the same time.
"The 7th Tank Army reported that they had encountered a strong German panzer division near the small town of Zacrochim on the Vistula River" Another panzer division, it seems that the Germans really sent a large number of troops to Warsaw "How is the situation now," Pavlov immediately asked, "can we defeat them?"
The 3rd Army was the main force of the Northern Route Cluster, and it also had 55 powerful T3457 tanks, which could not win a single German panzer division Pavlov wiped the cold sweat from his bald head and thought to himself: If the 3rd Army cannot win, then the "Great Thunderstorm Plan" will most likely fail, and then he will be the number one sinner in the cause of GCISM, and he will not run away if he is shot Thinking of this, he cast a pleading glance at the military commissar Ponomarenko.
Ponomarenko sighed and said: "Comrade Pavlov, now the battlefield of the Western Front is not in Belarus, but in Poland, and the headquarters of the Front should be moved forward, so that we can grasp the situation first-hand and facilitate command" What does this mean Pavlov was stunned, could it be that Ponomarenko meant to let himself learn from Popov and them, if they were defeated, they would die in battle, so that they would be a revolutionary martyr Pavlov gritted his teeth, and if he became a reactionary and was shot, his family would suffer.
If you die in battle, then your family will be the family of a martyr.
"Comrade Military Commissar, you are right, I should go to the Polish front to command."
Pavlov said, "I immediately asked the Supreme High Command for instructions on the relocation command. ” "Well, that's fine, I'll advise Comrade Stalin to approve your request."
Ponomarenko smiled easily, these current positions have finally been preserved.
In fact, he did not think about the war situation and Pavlov, but wanted to take advantage of the fact that the situation on the front line was acceptable, and quickly threw out the hot potato of the military commissar of the Western Front.
Because his own post is the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Belarusian Party, if the command of the Western Front moves out of Belarus, then he will no longer be the military commissar of the Front.
Otherwise, the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Belarusian Party would have to go to Poland to work, which is too much to take care of.
As long as he is not the military commissar of the Western Front when the Western Front loses the battle, then it will not be his turn to carry the black cauldron Just when Ponomarenko was about to cut out the big bargaining chip of the military commissar of the Western Front to stop the loss, the "market" of his Western Front was rebounding.
Dozens of bright lights suddenly flashed on the battlefield shrouded in night, like a sharp arrow that shot at the tanks of the fascist army in the darkness in the distance.
"Oh my God, it's a searchlight" Major General Mandolfer, who was sitting in a half-track armored command vehicle, was also caught in the eyes by the light in front of him, but he immediately knew what it was This is the searchlight of the anti-aircraft artillery unit, which is used to scare enemy aircraft at night, and the German infantry divisions and armored divisions also have this thing, but they are generally not used for lighting in night battles.
"Quick, get rid of those goddamn searchlights," Mandolfil yelled.
As a tactician, he could also think on his heels that the Soviets had set up an ambush for him.
These searchlights were used to illuminate anti-tank guns Now rushing to the front are the Hungarian Turang 1 tanks, which do not have the frontal armor of the No. 3 assault gun, and even the ZIS 3 cannon cannot stop them.
"Give the Hungarians an order to retreat immediately," Mandolfer's second order had just been uttered, when a dense burst of artillery fire was heard in front of him, followed by a sudden rise of fireballs.
This is the unlucky Hungarian Turang Type 1 tank that was blown up I don't know if the driver of the tank was blinded by the sudden light, or if the Hungarian tank crew was a little sluggish, the Hungarian tank cluster that was suddenly hit didn't react for a while, and rushed forward stupidly.
Now it was cheaper to find the Soviet Red Army T3457 tank and ZIS2 anti-tank gun, and the shells smashed on the Hungarian tanks like hailstones, and a dozen of these medium-sized tanks with thin skin and stuffing were shot and caught on fire, turning into a burning fire in the night.
Looking at the fireballs rising one after another in front of him, Oktyablisky, the political commissar of the 7th Tank Army, was about to jump up and shout "Ula".
Although the 11th Tank Brigade suffered a lot of losses in order to lure the enemy before, but now that this blow is successful, it can be all recovered And this ambush battle also proved the value of the 57 anti-tank gun, which is a sharp weapon that should be mass-produced and equipped in large quantities.
Boom While he was rejoicing, the German assault gun No. 3 finally opened fire, just as the commander of the 7th Tank Army, Major General Rotmistrov, had expected, and the German assault gun hit the searchlight first.
When a searchlight is hit, that's the signal All the anti-tank guns of the ZIS 2 type that were firing immediately began to shift their positions, and only more than forty T3457s continued to fire, they were tanks, not afraid of grenades fired from assault guns.
The commander of the 8th SS Cavalry Division, Figlein, drove up to Mandolfil in a half-track armored command car, and Feiglin stood in the open compartment of the command car and asked Mantufin in a loud voice: "General, the Hungarian tanks have suffered heavy losses, do you want our assault guns to go up?"
"That's not going to work, assault guns aren't tanks."
Mandolfil shook his head and immediately rejected Feglein's suggestion.
Although the No. 3 assault gun had strong firepower and strong frontal defense, it was not a tank after all, there was no turret that could rotate to shoot, and the side armor was not strong enough.
This weapon can be used to support tanks, but not to replace them.
"Then what are we going to do and just give up the victory to the Bolsheviks?"
said Figlein, who seemed unwilling.
"No, the Bolsheviks did not win, they were blocked by us."
Mandolfil's face was calm, not annoyed by tonight's setback, he calmly said to Figlein, "The 48th Panzer Corps will arrive tomorrow morning, and then the absolute superiority will be on our side, and we can completely destroy the Soviet armored group in front of us."
And we also figured out the Soviets' cards" "Hole Cards" Mandolfer pointed ahead, most of the searchlights had been extinguished by the 75 guns of the No. 3 assault gun, and the muzzle flame of the 57 guns could now be seen constantly flickering in the night.
"This is not the 762 cannon," Figlein also found the problem, "this is the 57 anti-tank gun of the Soviets." ” "Height," Mandolfil said, "pay attention to the height of these guns. 34 anti-tank guns of the ZIS type 2 were installed on the 57 tanks, and now they have tanks that can threaten the Tiger tanks" "Sure enough," said Figlein nodded, "these Bolsheviks are progressing quite quickly, smarter than they thought." ” t1706231537:
