"Lieutenant General Romanenko, an unidentified armored unit has appeared diagonally behind us!”
Because the distance was still quite far, the Soviets couldn't determine whether it was friendly or enemy.
Generally speaking, the ones behind them should be their reinforcements. After all, the Soviets were the main attacker while the German troops were the main defender. Since the German troops were in a defensive position, they should be in front of them. How could an army run behind them?
Didn't the troops on his flanks sense this troop at all?
Therefore, Lieutenant General Romanenko immediately regarded this army as his ally and did not think of anything else.
"Tell them to carefully avoid the minefield and make a detour from the flank to help us complete the attack on Kursk!”
Not only did Lieutenant General Romanenko not suspect that this was a German army, but he also asked the soldiers to send a signal to the other party to assist them in attacking Kursk.
This information quickly reached Gordian!
"What do these Russians mean? Why did they send us such a signal? Could it be that they have some conspiracy?”
The chief of staff had not expected such a dramatic thing to happen, so he was a little dazed.
He scratched his head and couldn't understand what the Soviets meant.
"Tsk, what else could it mean? I got the wrong person!”
Guderian did not care. From where they were, they could clearly see the armored troops of the Soviets in the distance, but from the position of the Soviets, they might not be able to see them so clearly.
This was because the smoke from the intense artillery fire of the Soviets had already begun to drift south under the northern wind.
At this time, the German army was shrouded in smoke, which made the Soviets unable to discover all of the German army. They only saw a small part of the German army.
It was precisely because the size of the German army was " too small " that the Soviets did not consider them as enemies. After all, no one in their right mind would use such a small force to attack their entire tank and armored army!
Furious Bear quickly paid the price for his negligence!
"Pass on my orders. Keep your distance and stay close. Be careful, don't go near the minefield. You all know the power of the anti-tank mines made by the base camp. Even a fifty-six-ton Tiger tank can fly into the sky with one mine.”
Guderian's eyes were aimed at the flanks of the Soviets. That was their weakest position. If they attacked from there, he was confident that he could take down the Soviets 'logistics forces before they could react!
Gordian had never thought of taking advantage of the enemy's entire army. After all, the Second Army of Tanks was a bit large. There were more than 120,000 people, which was more than twice his strength. Even if they were to compete in terms of the number of tanks, he might not have the advantage.
Moreover, there were other Soviets coming from the Pena River behind the Second Tank Army. If Guderian was greedy for this piece of fat meat in front of him and fought with the Soviets here, he might be delayed. At that time, he might be surrounded by the enemy.
For Gordian, who had always made his enemies look like dumplings, this was naturally impossible. He was not that muddle-headed.
"Order the 72nd Armored Division to aim at the enemy's ribs and rush over. Tell them that I don't want them to defeat many enemies. I just want to see them tear apart the enemy's defense line in the shortest time possible!”
Gordian began to enter combat mode, and each of his orders seemed to be so sharp that they pierced straight into the enemy's weakness!
If Lieutenant General Romanenko was by Guderian's side at this time, he would probably be scared to death!
According to Guderian's arrangement, his army would at least lose a layer of skin if they did not die. After losing the logistics vehicles, even if the main force of the second tank army was not lost, it was impossible to continue fighting on the battlefield!
After all, tanks and armored vehicles required the assistance and support of a large number of auxiliary vehicles. Their logistical support was the most critical part!
……
After receiving the order, the 72nd Armored Division did not hold back. They immediately began to advance at full speed towards the Soviets.
The Soviets didn't react in time at first. Even though they saw the tanks approaching them from afar, they didn't think much of it. After all, Lieutenant General Romanenko had already ordered them to approach them.
Therefore, the other party's actions were very normal.
However, they soon realized that something was wrong because the tanks equipped by the German army were completely different from their main battle tanks.
This was neither the most common T34 tank nor the heavy IS-2 tank, but a tank that they had never seen before!
The Soviets quickly reacted!
Many people immediately picked up their binoculars and scanned the direction of the German army!
It didn't matter if they didn't look, but they were frightened when they saw it!
"It's the enemy!"
" Tanks of the Third Reich!"
"Quick, prepare to defend! The enemy is charging over!"
There were a lot of soldiers on the battlefield, and all kinds of chaotic sounds could be heard. Because it was a logistics unit, they rarely encountered such a situation!
After all, shouldn't the main task of fighting the enemy on the battlefield be handed over to the main force?
When would it be their turn to show off their skills? Oh no, not to show off their skills, but to be trampled on!
No matter how chaotic the Soviets were, the German charge did not slow down at all!
On the contrary, the more chaotic the enemy was, the lower the resistance they faced!
The logistics troops of the Soviets were not completely without protection. At least, there was a tank regiment and an armored company around them. More than 100 tanks were protecting them!
This gave the Soviets some confidence. As long as these 100 tanks could hold off the enemy for a while, they would be out of danger when the main force in front of them reacted and turned around to support them!
Moreover, this was a good opportunity to annihilate the enemy!
The Soviets didn't realize that the tank unit in front of them was completely different from the other tank units they had encountered.
However, they would soon realize this point, and it would be a very full understanding!
