After Lieutenant General Panov fainted, the commander of the 1st Guards Tank Army was paralyzed for a while.
However, even if their command was not paralyzed, it would not be of much use in this half an hour.
Because the German artillery was too fierce!
More than 3,000 cannons bombarded the 15-kilometer position of the Guards Tank Army. There was a cannon every five meters. This kind of firepower density was simply terrifying!
The sparks on the Soviets 'position did not stop for even a moment. The scene was like lava that was about to erupt from a volcanic crater. The sparks of the explosion were like lava that exploded from a volcanic crater, rising and falling!
……
The Soviets were beaten up in the first round of bombardment. Some were dead, some were injured, and the rest hid in trenches and bunkers in fear, trying to escape the disaster.
Some soldiers ran into their tanks. In their opinion, the tanks were still protected by a thick iron shell. At least it was safer than being exposed!
However, when the second round of German artillery fire came, the soldiers hiding in the tanks were not spared!
The German 203mm armored train guns began to roll call one by one, sending the targets they had scouted beforehand into the sky!
Under the attack of such a caliber cannon, even tanks could not withstand it. The tanks that were hit were either directly blasted apart or flipped over on their backs.
As for the soldiers hiding in the tanks?
They would have long been roasted by the high temperature or killed by the fall!
……
Half an hour of bombardment soon ended, but before the Soviets could breathe a sigh of relief, they quickly discovered that there was a roar coming from the front of the camp!
For ordinary infantrymen, this kind of roar might even make them feel puzzled and surprised.
However, to the soldiers of the First Tank Guards Army, this sound was something they were familiar with!
This was the roar of the engine when the tank was running at full speed!
A trembling soldier raised his signal gun and fired a flare into the sky!
Whoosh!
Accompanied by a sharp sound, a dazzling light shone on the ground!
Countless pairs of eyes peeked out from behind the trenches that were riddled with holes. Then, they saw a scene that they would never forget for the rest of their lives!
In front of them, countless tanks and soldiers were charging towards them. The machine gunners and artillery on the tanks had already aimed their muzzles at them under the guidance of the flares!
Boom!
……
Helu was awakened from his sleep!
Due to the fact that the advance of the Soviets had been too smooth, their headquarters were now about 150 kilometers behind the frontline troops.
Therefore, within the GCH, Helu could not hear the sound of gunfire!
What woke him up was the secretary's panicked cries, as if her mother had died!
"Not good, Comrade Secretary, something bad has happened!”
The first thing Helu saw when he woke up was his secretary's crying face. He was impatient to be woken up from his deep sleep, but the moment he saw this face, he forgot about it!
"What exactly happened?"
Helu already had a premonition that something was wrong. Otherwise, the secretary's expression wouldn't be so ugly!
However, there was still a trace of luck in his heart!
In the afternoon, the reports from various places said that everything was normal. Even if the German army launched a counterattack, it was impossible to defeat them in such a short period of time, right?
One had to know that there were eight corps at the front line, a huge force of 1.3 million!
No matter how fierce the German army's offensive was, could they possibly take down these eight armies all at once?
As long as the frontline troops blocked the enemy's attack, and then after daybreak, according to the situation, they would dispatch the Second Guards Tank Army and the First Guards Tank Army to the frontline to block the enemy's attack. Their position would be basically stable!
The German army's performance was so poor previously. Even if they fought back to the death now, they would not be much of a threat!
After all, the current German army was no longer the unstoppable German army at the beginning of the war!
At the thought of this, Helu's heart calmed down a lot, and his expression returned to normal!
"Comrade Secretary, there is an emergency report from the front line. The 1st, 13th, 56th, and 60th armies of the Central Front Army have all been attacked by the enemy's fierce artillery fire. The command center of the 1st Tank Army has lost contact with the general command center after the artillery fire began!”
"What is it? This is impossible!"
"There must be a mistake somewhere!"
After hearing the news that the 1st Tank Guards Army had lost contact, Heroult suddenly thought of something.
This army, which he had sent to receive commendation from the Klimlin Palace for their outstanding performance not long ago, was not in the rear now, but at the front line of the battlefield!
If the German army launched a counterattack, then the 1st Guards Tank Army would be the first to be attacked. They would become the first target of the German army!
At the thought of this, Helu felt a chill run down his spine!
The 1st Guards Tank Army was the trump card of the Central Front Army, and they had just received the commendation and commendation from the Supreme Leader, so they had a high reputation in the entire army.
If they were eaten by the German army at the beginning of the war, it was imaginable how much impact and shock it would have on the entire Soviet army once the news spread!
At the thought of this, Helu's legs went limp, and his vision went black as he collapsed to the ground!
At this moment, the artillery fire at the front line was still as dense as porridge!
Tonight was not destined to be peaceful!
