"Report, Lieutenant General Ivanov, the 13th, 21st, 27th, 47th, and 52nd armies have been completely wiped out by the German army, and now only the 64th and 69th armies are left, and the rest have no troops left to fight."

At the Voronezh Front Command, Lieutenant General Ivanov, who stayed behind, was looking at the intelligence sent by the communications staff with a sad face.

"Damn, when did the German army become so fierce?"

"Report: Guderian's Army Group is launching a fierce attack on our right wing"

"Report, the Totenkopf Armored Division has broken through our front line and has penetrated deep into our territory."

"Report: Our front line of defense has been breached"

"Report: German troops spotted on flank defense line"

"Report……"

A series of bad news made Lieutenant General Ivanov look even uglier. The move of the Skeleton Armored Division could be said to have split the entire Voronezh Front into two. The only thing waiting for them was to be annihilated.

""Damn it! Send a telegram to Marshal Zhukov and ask for reinforcements. We can't hold on any longer." Ivanov shouted angrily.

All the armored troops in his hands had been taken away by General Vatutin, leaving only a group of infantrymen. They were no match for the German armored troops.

"Report: German rockets continue to bombard our troops fiercely. The rockets from the Southwest Front that came to support us are blocked and we are temporarily unable to advance."

"Report: The Central Front was blocked by Guderian's Second Army and could not advance temporarily"

"Report, Marshal Zhukov sent an urgent telegram, ordering our troops to withdraw immediately at all costs, and not to be annihilated by the German army, and to break out no matter what the cost."

Listening to the bad news, Ivanov took a deep breath. He knew that he couldn't panic at this time, and he had to stay calm.

"Send a telegram to Marshal Zhukov, requesting air support, use bombs to blow a gap for us, and we will break out immediately."Lieutenant General Ivanov immediately commanded the remaining 12 troops.

At this time, he had ignored Vatutin's order to continue to hold on, and could only pray for the best. He had to be responsible for the remaining more than 200,000 people.

In the absence of anti-tank means, it was wishful thinking for the infantry to stop the tank attack, so the Voronezh Front suffered heavy losses.

"Yes!" The communications officer turned around and sent a telegram

"Report: A group of bombers will arrive in half an hour and will blow a gap from the east."

"Great, it will be much better with the air force reinforcements." Lieutenant General Ivanov breathed a sigh of relief, his emotions gradually calmed down, and he immediately ordered the remaining troops to retreat.

"Order, break out at all costs."Lieutenant General Ivanov also ordered his men to fight to the death.

"Yes!"

Soon the Soviet infantry also received the order, and they shouted"Ura" and rushed towards the German position.

As long as they broke through this line of defense, they could escape the encirclement. All the Soviet soldiers were crazy.

Everything was for survival, and anyone who dared to stand in their way would die.

At this time, the Soviet army was already blood-thirsty, and the whole people became crazy.

At the same time, Guderian and Manstein also issued an order to fight to the death, and they must annihilate the strategic front of Voronezh at all costs.

This is the largest arm of the Soviet army. As long as this arm is cut off, I believe the Soviet army will definitely be quiet for a while.

"The current situation is very favorable to us. We must complete the task assigned to us by His Majesty and annihilate the entire Voronezh Front. We must make the Soviet army pay a heavy price in the Dnieper River area."

""The final victory will definitely belong to us, long live the empire!"

Guderian gave a speech to the 1st Armored Division through the radio, and the emotions of all the German tank soldiers were aroused.

They shouted:"Long live the empire! Long live the empire!"

If this battle is won, not only will Guderian be promoted to field marshal, but they will also have generous rewards.

Sometimes slogans alone are not enough, and there must be substantial rewards, so as to mobilize the enthusiasm of the soldiers to a greater extent.

Now all the German troops who were fighting fiercely with the Soviet army were excited and fought to the death.

Whether it was Guderian's group or Manstein's group, they used all their strength to attack forward desperately and kill every Soviet soldier who stood in their way.

"Order, all troops to fight back, I want to annihilate the Voronezh Front in this battle and beat Zhukov badly."Manstein also shouted loudly at the headquarters.

Because he also received the Emperor's....Telegram, after winning this battle, he will also be promoted to Field Marshal. Thinking of the Marshal's baton, Manstein's heart was burning with excitement, and he wanted to lead a commando to charge forward immediately.

""Yes!" All the officers in the headquarters shouted loudly. Manstein was promoted to marshal, and they would also be promoted one level. On the other side, Zhukov was very troubled. The only thing he could do now was to rescue desperately. The Voronezh Front must not be annihilated.

However, he found that his tactics were also seen through by the Germans. His tactical characteristics were generally to form a rapid assault corps with tank troops, break through the enemy's solid defense, implement detours, encircle the enemy, block the enemy's retreat, and pursue and annihilate the retreating enemy.

At the same time, give full play to the rapid mobility of tanks, land on the beach, expand the landing site, and create conditions for infantry to cross the river..

These were Zhukov's core command, but they were also targeted this time. As soon as the tank troops took action, they were attacked by the German tank troops.

If the number of German tanks was still the same as before, they might suffer a great loss this time, or even a disastrous defeat. However, the army group led by Guderian had nearly twenty armored divisions, which not only crushed the Soviet army in number, but also in performance.

Therefore, all the tank assaults launched by Zhukov were stopped, and one after another was destroyed.

In addition, there were large numbers of aircraft, missiles, and rockets bombing in turn, and the troops he sent to reinforce were blocked outside the defense circle.

"Order the air force to blow up a passage at all costs, don't mind the sacrifices." Zhukov also got angry and roared immediately.

"Yes!"

The Soviet Air Force commander who received the order also had a heavy face. He knew that many pilots would not be able to come back this time, but he resolutely issued the order:"All bombers take off immediately and make sure to bomb a passage."

"Got it!"

Finally, at the cost of nearly 600 fighter planes, the Soviet Air Force blasted a passage to the east of the Voronezh Front.

At this time, there were less than 100,000 people left in Voronezh under the command of Lieutenant General Ivanov. In such a short period of time, more than 100,000 people were lost again.

"Hurrah, the gap has been opened, hurrah!"Lieutenant General Ivanov personally led the charge

"Ulla, Ulla"

"Charge!"

Lieutenant General Ivanov and the remaining Soviet troops launched the most crazy counterattacks, fighting desperately with the Germans, not caring about sacrifice at all, and for a time the Germans suffered heavy losses.

Fortunately, Manstein adjusted his tactics in time, opened a gap, and let the Soviet assault troops retreat, while the rest of the troops bit the tail of the Soviet retreating troops.

There was no way, the trapped beast still fought, and the counterattack before death was the most crazy, so Manstein did this to minimize the casualties of the elite troops.

When the Soviet army felt tired, the elite troops of the German army went all out to attack the remaining Soviet troops.

In the most intense and fierce two hours of fighting, the Voronezh Front was left with less than 50,000 troops.

And these 50,000 people finally withdrew from the encirclement under the cover of fighter planes, and Ivanov, who was rescued, looked ashen and unbelievable. In just five days, the 800,000-man front army ended up with only 50,000 people left, which made it difficult for him to accept for a while.

"How is this possible? Why is the German army so powerful?"Ivanov still shouted in disbelief.

The other surviving Soviet generals were also terrified and scared. They did not expect that the German army would be so powerful. It was incredible.

""Sir, what should we do now?" a colonel asked with a sad face.

"Let's retreat, retreat to the rear to rest."Ivanov said with a miserable smile on his face. It can be said that the Voronezh Front was almost wiped out.

At this time, Zhukov had no time to pay attention to the Voronezh Front, because he had to continue to deal with the attack of the army commanded by Guderian and Manstein.

Facing the wave after wave of attacks from these elite German troops, Zhukov and his men were also full of worry.

Originally, his plan had been completely disrupted by Manstein, and the combat plans of various fronts were forced to be suspended, because he never dreamed that the German army would have so many new weapons. It was these new weapons that increased the combat effectiveness of the German army several times.

Zhukov was also powerless to do anything about this. The gap in strength was too big, and quantity alone would not work. However, he had a big doubt in his mind, that is, where did the German army get so many advanced weapons and ammunition replenishment.

In particular, where are the factories that produce these advanced weapons hidden?

At this time, Manstein and a group of staff came to a place on the front line and were using telescopes to observe the situation on the battlefield.

"Has the Voronezh Front been annihilated?" Manstein asked with a frown.

"Not yet, there are probably about 60,000 to 70,000 people left, and we are almost there with the plan of total annihilation." The combat staff officer next to him answered immediately.

Hearing this, Manstein shook his head and said:"Total annihilation is impossible. Zhukov will never watch us annihilate the Voronezh Front. This will be a great shock to the entire war situation."

At the end, Manstein was obviously in a good mood. As long as he expanded the results of the battle, the marshal's baton would basically be secure.

Thinking that he was just a small step away from the marshal's baton, Manstein couldn't help but feel a little excited

"Although we have not yet completely wiped out the Voronezh Front, we have eliminated nearly 800,000 Soviet troops, leaving only tens of thousands. This is a significant achievement."The operations staff said with a smile

"In addition, we have just received a message that the commander of the Voronezh Front, General Vatutin, committed suicide."

Hearing this news, Manstein smiled even more. This is definitely good news. Vatutin is also a rising star. Being able to serve as the commander of the Voronezh Front shows that he still has strength.

"What a pity. I thought he could change the situation."Manstein sighed.

In fact, Manstein was also frightened before. If Vatutin's attack plan succeeded, it would be impossible for him to completely wipe out the Voronezh Front, because his rear was indeed extremely empty. The defending troops were all infantry divisions with low combat effectiveness.

Most of them had not been refitted, and they did not even have many anti-tank weapons. Facing a commando composed of hundreds of tanks, it was impossible to stop the Soviet assault.

"In the final analysis, we have to thank the Air Force for its new bombs. Without them, it would be impossible to destroy the Soviet commandos."The operations staff couldn't help but sighed.

""Rather than thanking the Air Force, I admire Vatutin for having the courage to lead the commando himself. He is determined to die." Manstein glanced at them and said indifferently.

All the staff officers present were silent. They did not expect Vatutin to lead the commando himself.

"Commander, who is our next target?"The Chief of Staff stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Southwestern Front." Manstein narrowed his eyes and said

"Southwestern Front Army?" Everyone was surprised. Why are they targeting Timoshenko again?

"Yes, since he dares to reorganize once, then we will annihilate them once more, and we must cancel this designation."Manstein said murderously.

Hearing this, many people laughed in their hearts. At this time, the German army was unprecedentedly powerful, and it was very easy to destroy a front army with only 200,000 people.

Not to mention that there were Guderian's 20 armored divisions not far away, and the Soviet army would definitely not be able to stop them.

This is the confidence brought by strength, but Manstein didn't know at this time that Guderian was worried.

"No oil?" Guderian frowned and said

"Yes, we are out of fuel. We have used up all the fuel we brought with us."The chief of staff said with embarrassment.

The Type 54 tank uses diesel fuel, and diesel fuel itself is extremely scarce in the German army. In order to start these 20 armored divisions, General Weichs transferred almost all the fuel of the entire Central Army Group to him.

Even so, there is not much, and it is normal to have run out of fuel by now.

So when the chief of staff said there was no fuel, Guderian did not say anything, but just nodded._Faloo reminds you: Three things to do when reading - ∪Collect, recommend, and share!
