"Damn it, why aren't our allies coming to support us? What are they doing?”
The frenzied German attack put the Soviets 'line of defense in jeopardy. The German troops in the south were getting closer and closer to them!
On the northern front, they launched several large-scale group charges in succession, but they could not break through the defense line of the German 30th Army.
What was even worse was that the German troops on the left and right flanks had already squeezed out their space to move. If their allies did not come, they might really be wiped out!
Dukhanov was truly panicking now!
Was this the strength of Manstein?
It was as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as aggressive as fire, and as unmoving as a mountain!
When he shouldn't move, he was as steady as a mountain. Once he moved, he was like a fierce tiger!
This was the most terrifying enemy he had ever encountered!
Facing such an enemy, he felt despair from the bottom of his heart!
……
Just as Dukhanov was in despair, Manstein had already led his troops around the flanks of the Soviets.
"General, the 67th Army of the Soviets has been completely surrounded by us.”
Compared to the fear and uneasiness of the Soviets, the German army was full of vigor from top to bottom!
Under the command of Manstein, they lured the Soviets here step by step with a series of tactics. Then, they suddenly launched an attack and surrounded the Soviets in this narrow area. They completed a feat that many people did not even dare to imagine!
It was because of this that the man who led them to victory after victory and completed impossible missions became the god in the eyes of the 200,000 German soldiers!
Their admiration for Manstein came from the bottom of their hearts!
Manstein obviously felt the respect and love of the soldiers, which made him feel very gratified!
With such elite troops, why worry about the Mao Xiong not being destroyed?
"The general attack will begin in half an hour. Before that, let's give the bearman a surprise!”
A cold smile appeared on Manstein's face. He turned around and ordered an artillery colonel,"
"Haid Gustav, pull up your cannon and open a path for the army!”
"Yes, General!"
The artillery colonel was extremely excited. He had finally arrived!
At his command, thousands of soldiers moved to the side, revealing the extremely shocking existence behind them!
It was made of thousands of tons of steel. Its huge body flickered with cold light, and its long and thick cannon barrel was terrifying!
Gustav cannon!
This was the most powerful, longest range, and heaviest cannon ever created in human history!
Her caliber had reached an astonishing 800mm, and the weight of her cannonball had reached an astonishing 7.1 tons!
Steel plates that were one meter thick or reinforced concrete that was 2.5 meters thick were as fragile as paper in front of her!
Five months ago, on the Krimi Peninsula, when facing the impregnable fortress of Sevastopol built by the furry bear people, the Gustav cannon used its great power to tell the furry bear people a truth: In this world, there was nothing that the Gustav cannon could not destroy!
During the Sevastopol Battle, this cannon belonged to the command of Manstein's 11th Army.
Therefore, after Manstein's troops were transferred to the north, the head of state also handed this cannon to him.
However, the Gustav cannon was too cumbersome, so she was still on the way when Manstein's 11th Army arrived. She only arrived at the battlefield three days ago!
The bearman did not know about this information, so Manstein treated this cannon as his secret weapon, ready to use it as a trump card when necessary!
And now, it was the best time for Gustav to perform!
……
Within the encirclement, the Soviets realized that their escape route had been cut off by the German army. They reacted quickly and gave up on breaking out of the encirclement. Instead, they chose to defend themselves and wait for reinforcements!
Dukhanov knew that he was definitely not Manstein's opponent. If he broke out of the encirclement, his weakness would be exposed in a mobile battle.
As long as these weaknesses were caught by the German army, then what awaited them would be a devastating disaster. Therefore, he chose to remain unchanged!
The German army's attack was fierce, but he could already tell that the German army did not have too many soldiers.
In this case, it would be very difficult for the German army to eat them up in one go. As long as they did not panic and suffered a large-scale defeat, they would most likely be able to hold on until the arrival of reinforcements!
As long as the reinforcements arrived, they would naturally be able to turn the situation around!
Since ancient times, the vast majority of armies were annihilated when their own organization was destroyed, the army lost order, and was annihilated by the enemy in a situation of collapse and chaos.
And very few armies were completely wiped out in battle, especially when the strength of both sides was about the same. It was even more difficult to eat the enemy!
Therefore, Dukhanov's choice was very reasonable. At least from the perspective of the Soviets, this was their best choice at the moment!
However, they never expected that the German army would actually prepare a secret weapon like the Gustav cannon for them!
Under the efforts of thousands of soldiers, two high-power diesel engines drove the crane behind the cannon to send the 7.1-ton shell into the barrel.
Under the watchful eyes of countless German soldiers, the 7-ton artillery shell streaked across the sky, like the bell of the doomsday judgment of Zeus, the god of the universe, and crashed into the Soviet army's position!
Boom!
There was a loud bang!
The entire ground began to tremble violently!
