River, S Army positions, 5,000 artillery pieces, and 500 Katyusha rocket launchers, all aimed at the frontier positions of D Army

"Distance 7,000 meters, fire."

The S Army artillery commander waved the flag and loudly issued the order.

"boom!"

""Swoosh!"

In the blink of an eye, dense artillery shells and rockets smashed into the D Army's defensive positions like a swarm of locusts, shaking the ground and deafening the ears.

"It's the artillery fire from the S Army. Quick, everyone, get into the bunkers."

The soldiers in the various positions of the D Army were not very worried about the artillery fire from the S Army. The air-raid shelters they dug were now all built with concrete, enough to withstand the bombardment of 152mm howitzers, but they still couldn't withstand shells over 200mm.

"Don't panic, hold on."

Shrapnel flew all over the D Army position, and deafening explosions were heard everywhere. Some air-raid shelters were hit by 200mm shells and collapsed directly, burying the soldiers inside.

"Damn it, what did the Soviet army do this time?���How many artillery pieces are there? There must be at least tens of thousands of them, right?"

"Almost. And it has been bombarding for so long, there is no sign of stopping."

"Don't talk nonsense, hide well, don't get killed, the artillery fire this time will cover for at least more than an hour"

"I think it might take more than two hours."

"Are our air-raid shelters strong? I feel like we can't even hold out for an hour if we continue to bombard them like this. We won't die here today, will we?"There were more than a dozen people hiding in the large air-raid shelter. A soldier asked with some concern.

"If I had known, I would have dug a single-person air-raid shelter."

"It shouldn't collapse because it's made of concrete. It shouldn't collapse that easily."

"That's good."

Everyone in the air-raid shelter was talking at once, and the tension was relieved. Some people even started joking.

"Why didn't our artillery fire any reaction? Why didn't they fight back?"

"Counterattack? Impossible. The division only has one artillery regiment. The S army has at least 10,000 artillery pieces. How can they fight back? It is estimated that they will be devastated as soon as they open fire."

"What about the Air Force? Why haven't they shown up yet?"

"Who knows? I'm not the commander. Just hide and pray to God that it will end soon."

"Don't shut up, open your mouths, be careful of deafening your ears."

The veteran looked at a trembling, clenched teeth recruit and shouted immediately.

If it was a small-caliber artillery, it would be okay to close your mouth, but for heavy artillery, you must not close your mouth when it explodes. You must open your mouth and cover your ears. The sound is transmitted to the eardrum and released through the mouth, which will minimize the damage to the human body.

But if you close your mouth, there is an 80% chance that your ears will bleed or even the eardrum will be broken, and you will be deaf.

These are all learned from bloody lessons, so when the veteran saw the recruit's mouth tightly closed, he immediately shouted

"Heavy artillery bombardment, and you still dare to keep your mouth shut, you are courting death."The old soldier looked around and roared.

In fact, the recruits can't be blamed. Everyone remembered it during training, but when they encountered artillery bombardment, they panicked and were lucky not to run around.

There is a saying that veterans are afraid of machine guns and new recruits are afraid of artillery, especially new recruits who have just entered the battlefield. When they hear the sound of artillery, they will wet their pants.

Although the people in front of him didn't wet their pants, they were also trembling with fear. Fortunately, the old soldier mediated and brought them back to their senses.

"There is nothing to be afraid of artillery shells. Their landing points are regular. You will know it after listening a few times. The explosions of those shells are far away from our air-raid shelters, so don't worry." The old soldier said with a smile.

Perhaps it was the power of smile that infected the new recruits. They took a deep breath and showed a pale smile on their faces.

At the headquarters of the 17th Army of the 6th Army of the D Army, General Kietz frowned while looking at the map and said,"These bastards, their artillery fire is so powerful."

"General, the artillery fire from the S Army is very powerful. If it continues like this, I'm afraid we will suffer heavy losses."The operations staff said

"Send a telegram to General Reichenau immediately and request artillery support."General Kiehnitz said hurriedly.

Soon the communications staff reported:"General Reichenau replied and told us to continue to hold our position. Air force and artillery support will arrive soon."

"How long will it take to get there? We can't hold on any longer." The operations officer said worriedly.

"I don't know yet, but they should be on their way." The communications staff explained.

Hearing this, Admiral Kinetz nodded. Although he was an admiral, he did not have the command of the Air Force. As for the artillery directly under the army, facing the large-scale artillery bombardment of the S Army, counterattacks would only add to the achievements of others.

At least the artillery directly under the army group was qualified to fire at the enemy. It would be even better if the artillery of the army group could join the battle. Admiral

Kinetz knew that the Supreme Command had transported a batch of rockets, which would allow him to counterattack. The effect would be absolutely great.

"Inform all troops and order them to continue defending. Even if there is only one person left, they must hold the position."Admiral Knitts said solemnly.

In response, the staff of the headquarters immediately responded.

At this time, Lieutenant General Fekelenko of the 38th Army Headquarters of the Voronezh Front looked at the map with a serious expression.

"After the artillery fire is completed, we will immediately launch an attack. We must cross the Dnieper River as quickly as possible and attack the defensive positions of the D Army. We must annihilate the D Army completely."

At this time, the communications staff came in with an urgent telegram and said loudly:"Commander, the commander of the front has issued an order to immediately execute the counterattack order. We must break through the positions of the D Army in the shortest possible time and take Kiev and other places as soon as possible."

"It seems that General Vatutin, just as I thought, called back to say that our troops are ready to launch an attack at any time. Lieutenant General Fekelenko said expressionlessly.

"yes!"

"This time we must kill all the D troops without leaving a single one alive." The chief of staff beside him said excitedly.

"This is for sure. Marshal Zhukov has mobilized nearly three million troops and is launching a full-scale attack on Army D along the entire Dnieper River. This time we will win."Lieutenant General Fekelenko said with a bright smile.

""We will win!" Everyone in the headquarters shouted loudly.

After the bombing, the S Army's general offensive was launched. All kinds of landing ships, as well as the ships, small fishing boats, and even rafts that could be found were pushed into the Dnieper River to start the landing operation.

When they just launched the counterattack, the D Army's mortars and Type 56 squad machine guns began to fight back.

Soon, dozens of ships, rafts, and even landing ships were sunk in the river.

The soldiers on them were either shot or drowned.

This situation was not only the 38th Army of the S Army, but the other armies were also under fierce attack.

For such a counterattack, the commanders of the S Army had long anticipated it. There was no panic at all, and they commanded the troops to continue crossing the river expressionlessly.

"This is a forced crossing."Looking at the densely packed boats and rafts, the D Army commander frowned.

""Captain, what should we do now?" a major asked hurriedly

"Fight back, hold your ground"

"Yes!"

After paying nearly 10,000 casualties, the S army still had many troops that successfully crossed the river.

Many of the fully staffed troops were completely wiped out, and no one survived.

This was a life-and-death war, and both sides used all means to shoot and kill the enemies that stood in their way.

"Fight back quickly, we must not let the S Army land successfully."Seeing more and more S Army landing successfully, all the D Army commanders commanding the operation on the Dnieper River shouted at the top of their lungs.

"Ulla, we must take back the Dnieper River"

"Kill, take back the position"

"Kill all the Germans"

"Go!"

""Hurray!"

The S Army soldiers who successfully crossed the river shouted loudly and charged towards the D Army's position. In their eyes, even a position as solid as a rock could be broken.

At this time, a number of D Army bombers appeared over the Dnieper River under the cover of fighter planes.

"Damn, it's a D-Force fighter plane"

"Hide quickly, hide quickly"

"Where's the anti-aircraft gun? Fire now."

"Push forward, don't stop."

"Those who retreat will be shot on the spot."

The D army bombers dropped bombs one after another, and the S army artillery, which had no time to retreat, suffered heavy losses. Especially the Katyusha rocket launchers, which were directly blown into a pile of scrap metal, with parts scattered on the ground

"Where are the anti-aircraft artillery? Fight back!"

"Bastard, retreat!"

"Don't retreat. No retreat."

""Go back."

The S Army soldiers on the Dnieper River were the worst off. They could not retreat and could only rush to the other side. The

D Army fighter planes took this opportunity to fire wildly. Countless S Army soldiers without cover were shot and killed. For a moment, the originally clear Dnieper River instantly turned blood red.

"Damn it, fight back"

"Where is our air force?"

Unfortunately, no matter how they shouted, it was useless. Those who were good at swimming jumped into the river and swam to the other side, and they were lucky enough to survive. Those who were not good at swimming either drove the raft to the other side in one breath, or turned back, otherwise they would only wait to die.

At this time, General Reichenau of the Sixth Army received the latest combat order from Marshal Manstein, which required the 38th Army to be completely wiped out.

"At all costs, we must annihilate the enemy's 38th Army."

The content of the telegram was brief, but General Reichenau saw that it was beyond doubt and immediately sent the order to the courier.

"Order, all troops to launch a general attack immediately"

"Yes!"

At this time, the Air Force had successfully destroyed the artillery positions of the S Army. The front-line D Army soldiers received the general attack order and immediately launched a fierce general attack on the 38th Army that had landed.

Thus, a tragic battle broke out. This made Lieutenant General Fekelenko feel uneasy because the combat effectiveness of the D Army was too strong, which was different from what he expected..........，.......

The most important thing is that the Skeleton Armored Division directly under Manstein's Group actually appeared on the flank of the 38th Army.

Lieutenant General Feklenko was completely stunned, because his flank was only an infantry army, and it could not stop the charge of the D Army's armored forces.

Caught off guard, Lieutenant General Feklenko's 38th Army suffered heavy losses. In just two hours, the casualties exceeded 50,000.

In addition, a large number of artillery and Katyusha rocket launchers were destroyed. Faced with such heavy losses, General Vatutin was shocked. The 38th Army was considered an ace force in his hands, and this counterattack was highly anticipated. As a result, after only a few hours of fighting, he lost 50,000 people. This is a bit scary.

"Fifty thousand people were lost in just a few hours? Is Fekelenko a pig? Even if it was fifty thousand pigs, it would take the D Army three days and three nights to capture them. How long has it been? Bastard. General Vatutin was so angry that he cursed. What made him even more desperate was that Manstein's group launched a comprehensive counterattack across the entire Dnieper River, and even the D Army's Central Army Group also cooperated in launching an attack.

"How could the D Army have the courage to launch a counterattack?"General Vatutin didn't understand where the D Army's confidence in counterattacking came from. And looking at the opponent's offensive, it was obviously aimed at his front. Did they really think he was a soft persimmon?

"Pass the order down, immediately strengthen the reconnaissance of Army D, and let the staff immediately analyze Army D's next combat intention"

"Report this to Marshal Zhukov, and request the Steppe Front and the Western Front to send reinforcements. Also, send all our reserve troops in to prevent a surprise attack by the D Army.

"Also call the Air Force and ask them what they are doing and why they are not fighting back?"

"We must not allow the D Army to encircle and annihilate the 38th Army."General Vatutin said a lot in one breath.

""Yes! Commander." The chief of staff responded immediately.

Soon, Marshal Zhukov also received the telegram, but his opinion was different. The D Army was definitely not going to eat the 38th Army.

"Manstein has a big appetite, and he is ready to swallow my Voronezh Front in one gulp. Marshal Zhukov stared at the map and said calmly

"What? They have such a big appetite?"The chief of staff asked in disbelief.

"The Voronezh Front has eight infantry armies, four guards armies, and four tank armies, with a total of more than 800,000 troops. Aren't they afraid of choking to death?"

You know, the Manstein Group on the opposite side has only more than one million troops, and the Voronezh Front has only a few hundred thousand fewer than him. Isn't it too unrealistic to want to completely annihilate the Voronezh Front?

"Look for yourself, the pincer attack is Manstein's specialty."Zhukov stared at the map, threw down his pencil, and sneered._Faloo reminds you: Three things to do when reading - ∪ Collect, recommend, and share!
