There will definitely be another attack. Piper ordered all his soldiers to enter the artillery holes, and then sent the wounded to the field hospital in Orsk City for treatment. Come up, Piper's troops killed more than 30 people and seriously injured more than 50 people. These [-] people were basically killed by Soviet cannons, and there were also two anti-tank guns. This is the first battle. Piper His command did not make any mistakes, and so many people were still killed in battle, which made Piper very heartbroken.

Not long after Piper ordered his soldiers to retreat into the anti-battery holes, the Soviet army started shelling again. Each time the Soviet army shelled for more than ten minutes and then stopped, and then tanks and infantry took turns to attack. Piper's rookie battalion basically did not rest. Each attack lasted about an hour, and there was a period of time between them. From morning to night, the rookie battalion had already sacrificed one-third. After eighteen hours of attack, the survivors of the rookie battalion were all exhausted. , fell directly into the trench and fell asleep.

Piper, who had no choice but to ask the division headquarters to replenish soldiers and ammunition immediately, these supplementary people came to repair and strengthen the fortifications. Now the SS has no shortage of ammunition, but the people are too tired.

On the first day of the large-scale offensive, all the defense lines were attacked by the Soviet army in turn. Vasilevsky relied on his large number of people and unlimited supplies to fight against the well-equipped Orsk SS. War of attrition, war of fatigue, Vincent really has no good solution to think of.

……

Casualty statistics were quickly sent to Vincent. More than 3000 people were killed and more than 2000 were seriously injured on the first day of the attack on Orsk defenders.Minor injuries don't count.On the first day, Vincent reduced staff to more than 5000 people.According to this level of casualties, Vincent can only hold on for 20 days at most.

On the first day, Vincent did not use his three armored divisions and all the artillery. Vincent was observing the opponent's command and tactics. Although today's casualties were heavy, without the support of tanks and large-caliber artillery However, the SS still held the line of defense, and let Vincent fully know the opponent's methods.

The Soviet army attacked from six o'clock in the morning to 24 o'clock in the evening, a full eighteen hours.Vincent knew that his defensive infantry had reached the limit of their physical fitness. During the day, the Soviet army had air force superiority. Vincent's tanks and cannons could only be hidden. Now that the Soviet army had withdrawn their troops, how could Vincent Maybe you just get beaten and don't fight back!

It's not Vincent's character to just be beaten and not fight back. During the day, the Soviet army has aircraft support, and your own tanks cannot move, but at night you always have no aircraft support.It is also difficult for the artillery group of the Soviet army to cover the charging armor group at night.

"Order. The first division of the [-]st Panzer Army of the Italian SS attacked from the east, the second division attacked from the southeast, and the third division attacked from the south. After breaking through the Soviet defense line, they converged in the southeast direction. The purpose of this operation It is to completely wipe out the Soviet army in the southeast direction, the longest assault distance cannot exceed [-] kilometers, and each armored division is equipped with [-] sandbag trucks, as a reminder, bring more sandbags and prepare to fill the Soviet anti-tank trenches.”

From 24 o'clock in the evening to 3 o'clock in the morning, Vincent's attack time is only six hours, and the total strength of the Italian armored division is only more than [-]. It is impossible to completely surround the Soviet army in the southeast. I can take advantage of the dark night and rush and fight.

The [-]st Panzer Army of the Italian SS has been watching other troops fighting this day, and their hands have long been itchy. Now that the commander-in-chief has ordered the battle, the morale is high. At this time, Wittmann is already the [-]st Army of the Italian SS. The commander of the division, Wittmann, who received the order, immediately began to deploy combat missions. The battle-tested Wittmann had already done all the preparations. Now that the order came, Wittmann only needed to put those hidden Tanks and sandbag trucks can be mobilized.

The Italian SS First Armor is gathering, and Vincent gave them the time to launch an attack in an hour. In fact, it didn't take long. After half an hour, everyone was basically in place. Vincent began to order his artillery The troops shelled heavily against the Soviet positions on the southern line of defense.

The entire position of the Soviet army was suddenly red. Vincent's ammunition was exhausted and there was nowhere to resupply. He only shelled for a short 10 minutes, and then all the cannons were replaced with incendiary bombs. A fire ignited soaring to the sky, and Vincent fired incendiary bombs. Of course, he wanted his armored assault group to see clearly the situation of the Soviet army without turning on the lights.

"attack……"

Wittmann's order was very brief. The [-]st Armored Division of the Italian SS Army could be said to have been trained by Wittmann alone. There are [-] German veterans in it. They are the core and backbone of this unit. Terman can proudly announce to everyone that his armored division is no worse than that of the German SS, and now is the time to test the unit trained by Wittmann.

All the troops of the Soviet Army were very tired after attacking all day long, but they took turns to attack and had enough time to rest. In fact, once people went to the battlefield, they were very nervous and very tired. The continuous sound of guns and guns, It also made it difficult for the Soviet army to fall asleep, and the fighting finally stopped. Suddenly, the shells of the Germans fell like a storm. At that time, countless Soviet troops were blown to pieces in their sleep, and the Soviet fortifications were also Roughly speaking, this is the character of Lao Maozi, and now he has finally tasted the bitter fruit.

This is not over yet. After the shelling of the SS, a large number of incendiary bombs came over. Originally, the fortifications of the Soviet army were built of logs, but now the entire position is burning. The liquid was splashed, and the whole body was on fire. In this case, even if his comrades wanted to save him, it was impossible. They could only end his life with one shot, so as not to endure the boundless pain.

"Boom...boom..."

The vibration of the ground and the roar of the tanks came again. It seemed that the German tanks had begun to attack. Now the Soviet army was in a panic. The anti-tank guns that were blown up, and those tanks that were not destroyed also started to move quickly.

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

The artillery of the Soviet army began to counterattack the artillery positions of the German army. The German artillery moved their positions long after the shooting was over. The Soviet artillery counterattack was doomed to be ineffective.

Wittmann's armored division rushed to the Soviet anti-tank trench after more than ten minutes. Behind them was the Soviet position. The Soviet troops on the position could not see the situation beside the anti-tank trench clearly, so they could only shoot blindly. , Wittmann knew that his armored division must act as soon as possible, otherwise it would be a living target for Soviet artillery fire. Wittmann's method was very simple and rude. He directly ordered the truck carrying sandbags to rush directly into the anti-tank trench. Dozens of sandbags Trucks can definitely fill out a channel more than 1000 meters wide.

"Chi Chi... Chi Chi..."

The Soviet army finally reacted and began to fire flares, but Wittmann had already begun to direct the tanks to cross the trench and charge towards their position.

"... Tap... Tap... Boom..."

The Tucker led by Wittmann began to fire violently at the Soviet army. Under the supervision of political commissars at all levels, the Soviet army also began to fight back desperately. Anti-tank guns, "Bazooka" 60mm rocket launchers, machine guns, rifles, and submachine guns were all aimed at the Soviet army. German tanks just shot like hell.

It's a pity that they can't penetrate the front of the German Tiger tank at all. These "Bazookas" have just arrived in the hands of the Soviet army. Many soldiers have just learned how to launch them. As for how to hit German tanks and what parts to attack, That is not knowing at all, and the result is a waste of ammunition.

The machine guns on the armored vehicles following the tanks and the machine guns and cannons on the tanks were continuously raining bullets on the Soviet positions. Many Soviet troops who were desperately fighting back were killed, but none of the Soviet troops dared to escape. As soon as the escaped political commissar was shot, the escaped person was shot immediately.

"Boom... bang..."

The front armor of a Tiger tank that rushed forward had more than 20 rounds of "Bazooka" and it was still firing and counterattacking. Now the Soviet Union was dumbfounded. Throwing it to the ground, the Soviet army who threw away their weapons was ordered by the political commissar to pick up anti-tank grenades.

When Wittmann's tank group was 30 meters away from the Soviet trenches, hundreds of anti-tank grenades were suddenly thrown from the trenches, which shocked the members of the front tanks , so many anti-tank grenades, only blown up the tracks of a few tanks in the front row.

When the Soviet troops stretched their heads out of the trenches to check the situation, they were greeted with a rain of bullets. Now the Soviet troops in the trenches were desperate and collapsed. Even the political commissar could not prevent the total collapse. Of course, the political commissar They were also coerced by the collapsed crowd and fled together.

"Tack... bang bang... bang bang... ahhh!!!!"

Wittmann's armored assault group rushed into the Soviet positions and started killing wildly. At this time, armored vehicles and sandbag trucks played a better role. Of course, there are always a few Soviet troops who are not afraid of death, facing the SS Where did the army's sandbag truck load a "bazooka".

The result was that the zipper sandbag truck was blown to pieces. Of course, the final end of the Soviet shooter was to be smashed into a sieve. In general, Wittmann's assault was very smooth. The Soviet army was not familiar with the British, French and American weapons in their hands. The performance of advanced weapons, do not know how to use these weapons reasonably.

Wittmann's Soviet army is rampaging inside the position. Wittmann's final direction is the southeast. Of course, the previous assault of [-] kilometers is said. The Soviet army has no way to stop the sudden attack of the SS. Vasilevs Ji has no choice... (to be continued...)
