Guderian frowned, he did not expect that there would be no fuel. Now is the critical moment of the battle. Once the Soviet army discovers this fatal flaw, it will be the end.

"How long can the remaining fuel last?" Guderian frowned and asked

"It is only enough for the whole army to advance 30 kilometers."The staff officer quickly gave a reply.

Hearing this, Guderian thought about it and finally gritted his teeth and said:"In this case, all the fuel of the whole army will be concentrated and supplied to the First Armored Division. The rest of the armored units will stay where they are, collect fuel, and pay attention to air defense."

"Yes!" The staff officer stood at attention and replied

"Send another telegram to General Weichs and ask him to help collect another batch of fuel. We can't let our armored forces stay where they are."After thinking for a while, Guderian added

""I understand." The staff officer nodded.

On the other side, the Soviet Steppe Front was also worried, especially the Fifth Guards Tank Army.

"How many tanks do we have left?" Lieutenant General Rof of the Fifth Guards Tank Army asked with a tired look on his face.

"Less than 300, Commander."The

Chief of Staff said dejectedly.

"" Damn it, damn the Germans. I didn't expect their tanks to be so powerful. We have been in the battle for less than two days and we have lost 1,300 tanks." Lieutenant General

Rov said angrily, complaining constantly.

The chief of staff next to him consoled him,"Commander, don't worry too much. If it weren't for Marshal Zhukov asking us to rescue the Voronezh Front at all costs, we wouldn't have been so rash to attack the Germans."

"But the German tanks are very powerful. Our tanks can't penetrate their tanks at all, while their tanks can easily penetrate our tanks."

Hearing this, Lieutenant General Rove shook his head and said,"This has nothing to do with Marshal Zhukov. It's because we are not as strong as others. Now we can only ask the higher-ups to replenish our personnel, tanks, and fuel as soon as possible, otherwise when the next battle begins, we will definitely not be able to stop the attack of the German tank group."

"Especially the new tanks of the German army, we still need more advanced tanks, and it would be best if the T-34 tanks can be upgraded again and replaced with more powerful gun barrels."

After this battle, Lieutenant General Rove felt that his tanks were too inferior to those of the German army, and the two sides were not on the same level, so the tanks needed to be further upgraded.

Hearing this, the chief of staff nodded, and said with some concern:"Your Excellency the Commander, we have experienced such a disastrous defeat, the higher-ups may not necessarily give us reinforcements, right? And I heard that the losses of other tank armies were also very heavy, and they must also be in great need of tank reinforcements."

"If you don't give it to us, how can we fight next time? What can we do with only a thousand of us? We were completely wiped out by the Germans in one charge. How can we fight a large-scale tank battle with the Germans?"Lieutenant General Rove said unhappily.

"That's right." The chief of staff nodded and agreed with this statement. At this moment, a deafening bombing sound suddenly rang out outside.

"Report, German bombers have been spotted, attacking us." At this time, the operations staff came in and said loudly

"Oh no, the Germans are targeting us. Lieutenant General Rove's face changed drastically, and he looked at the map hurriedly.

"Ask the friendly forces where they are."Looking at the map, Lieutenant General Rove always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Logically, there were at least hundreds of thousands of friendly forces around him, and the Germans, no matter how bold, might target him.

Soon, the chief of staff went to ask one by one. When he learned the result, he walked over with a sullen face and said,"Damn it, these bastards actually retreated without authorization. Our current position belongs to the assault unit.."

As he spoke, the Chief of Staff kept gesturing with a pencil. After reading the map, Lieutenant General Rove finally understood what he was worried about.

"Damn, these bastards, they didn't even say hello."

I thought there were hundreds of thousands of troops on his two wings, but when I called them, I found out that there was no friendly troops on his two wings, not even an infantry division. He was the only one left, a tank army, standing alone like a sharp arrow stuck in front of the position.

"Commander, what should we do now?"The Chief of Staff said anxiously

"What else can we do? Retreat."Lieutenant General Rolf gnashed his teeth and roared.

It's easy to say retreat, but it's hard to do it. At this time, hundreds of German bombers kept dropping bombs on the assembly area of the Fifth Guards Tank Army. Many tanks were blown into scrap metal without being able to dodge.

The anti-aircraft artillery kept firing back, but unfortunately the effect was not very good.

On the other side, General Guderian personally led the 1st Armored Division to advance. He originally thought that the road would be smooth, but he didn't expect to encounter the Soviet tank troops after advancing ten kilometers.

"You said, a Soviet tank division is blocking us?" Guderian asked in surprise."

Yes, there are about 300 tanks, and we also found a fuel point full of fuel. We didn't dare to go in because we were afraid of alerting the guards." Zuo Mou, who came to report, had shining eyes. Even Guderian's eyes were shining when he heard it. What he lacked most now was fuel. If he could really seize a fuel point, it would be a happy event.

At least he could mobilize two more armored divisions, which would also play a great role in changing the situation.

"What about the two wings? Have they conducted any reconnaissance? Is this a trap?" Guderian asked hurriedly, suppressing his excitement.

"There were no troops on either wing, and they all retreated dozens of kilometers, without any ambush. The combat staff was also puzzled, and had no idea what the Soviets were doing.

"No ambush?" Guderian frowned, wondering if this was a trap, waiting for him to fall into it.

"Forget it, even if it's a trap, I'll give it a try. Order the air force to send out bombers to test the waters first. Also notify everyone to put the aircraft on first-level combat readiness."

""Understood!" the operations staff responded.

After the bombing, it was found that no Soviet troops came to support, and Guderian immediately ordered the 1st Armored Division, which had already been assembled, to join the battle.

In order to quickly kill the Soviet troops in front of him, Guderian did not hold back at all. His goal was the fuel. Only by seizing the fuel could more armored units participate in the battle.

At the same time, he secretly envied that the Soviet army was confident enough and had too much fuel to use, unlike the German army, which had to calculate almost every liter of fuel.

There was no way, they were too poor. If they had a large oil depot like the Soviet army, they could also use it openly.

At this time, Guderian personally led the 1st Armored Division and launched a full-scale attack from the north directly against the Fifth Guards Tank Army.

Hundreds of Type 59 tanks made earth-shaking noises while rushing towards the Soviet army. The Soviets rushed to the positions of the Fifth Guards Tank Army.

Let me say here that this war was initiated by the Soviet army, so the Soviet army did not have a very long defense depth, basically it was flat ground.

Although Zhukov also asked to dig trenches in the past two days, the German army was attacking the Voronezh Front fiercely, resulting in insufficient manpower to dig deep defenses. On the other hand, it took too long to dig trenches. It was absolutely impossible to dig a trench dozens of kilometers long in just two days.

So this time, facing the fierce attack of the German tank group, the Soviet army had a hard time defending, unlike the previous Battle of Kursk.

There were minefields everywhere, a large number of anti-tank guns, various trenches, and even countless hidden Soviet tanks.

This time, the Soviet tanks were all in front of them, and there was no place to hide. What awaited them was being blown into scrap metal.

"Report, German tanks spotted in front, they are rushing towards us." At this time, a communications staff ran over and said loudly.

Upon hearing this, the faces of everyone in the Soviet command changed drastically, and even Lieutenant General Rov, who was always calm and composed, was a little panicked, and hurriedly said:"What? Rushing towards us, these damn bastards, it's all them, I must report them to Marshal Zhukov."

At this time, the rear team was changed to the front team, and just as they were about to retreat, the German army rushed over. If they were not handled properly, the whole army might be wiped out.

"Commander, what should we do now?"The operations staff asked hurriedly.

"Let the rear team block the German attack, we will withdraw first."Lieutenant General Rove decided to withdraw first and not to fight the Germans head-on. After all, the gap in strength between the two sides was too big.

"Remember, you must stop the German attack, and never let them open a gap from us and attack our rear."

Once a gap is opened from him, those bastards will definitely turn the tables and put all the blame on him.

When Lieutenant General Rove led the remnants to retreat 50 kilometers, he looked around and his heart was bleeding.

Originally, he had more than 300 tanks left, but in the bombing just now and the tank battle, he only had about 100 tanks left, and even fewer tank crews.

The intensity of the German attack still shocked Lieutenant General Rove. Basically, the Fifth Guards Tank Army was wiped out.

"Bastards, the Fifth Guards Tank Army is completely wiped out, bastards."Lieutenant General Rove didn't know how many times he cursed bastards today, he just knew he was very angry.

He didn't know since when the German army had such a strong combat power, their tanks were indestructible, and their fighter planes were simply the devil incarnate, and almost no fighter planes could last a minute in front of the German fighter planes.

Although he had experienced a disastrous defeat before and knew that the German army was powerful, he had never been beaten so hard that he couldn't fight back like this. His own air force was beaten so hard that it dared not take off and was in a state of autism. The armored forces faced the German tanks, just like mice seeing a cat, desperately trying to escape.

The infantry was far behind the German army in terms of firepower and combat quality..

In fact, Lieutenant General Rof guessed one thing wrong, that is, the Soviet army was able to win the previous battle entirely because of the poor logistics supply of the German army, otherwise the Battle of Moscow would have made the Soviet army history.

It was mainly because the German logistics department miscalculated the resistance of the Soviet army. They thought that the Soviet army would surrender quickly under the powerful offensive of the German army, so those winter cotton clothes were not delivered to the front line.

When they found something wrong and transported the cotton clothes to the front line, they learned that the main force had been surrounded and the cotton clothes could not be transported.

If the German army had a thousand C-130 transport planes at that time, it is estimated that they could still hold on until the reinforcements arrived, and then give the Soviet army a fatal blow, and it is estimated that they really became history.

"..Commander, our tank troops are about to be wiped out. What should we do now?"Listening to the continuous bombing of artillery shells and bombs, the chief of staff said palely.

"Immediately send a telegram to the friendly forces to request reinforcements, and then call Marshal Zhukov to ask where the reinforcements are. If they don't come, we will be completely wiped out."Lieutenant General Rove took a deep breath and said with a grim expression.

"Those friendly forces are digging the defense line and cannot provide support for the time being."The communications staff quickly replied

"Bastard, bastard, bastard." Lieutenant General Rove was so angry that he cursed three bastards in one breath.

("What did Marshal Zhukov say?"

Hearing this, the Chief of Staff turned pale and said in a panic,"Marshal Zhukov said that he is sending reinforcements to rescue us and asked us to do everything we can to stop the German offensive and not let the Germans break through our battle lines and go deep into our rear areas."

"Damn it!"Lieutenant General Rove didn't dare to curse, but he also complained.

He also wanted to stop the German attack, but what could he do? The tanks in his hands were not enough to fill the gaps between the Germans' teeth.

"What should we do now?"The chief of staff asked worriedly.���

"How should I know what to do?"Lieutenant General Rove said unhappily.

At this time, the temporary command headquarters fell into silence, and morale fell to the extreme. Lieutenant General Rove stared at the map and cursed:"Assholes, I will teach you a lesson sooner or later."

At this moment, a staff officer trotted over and shouted excitedly:"Commander, the Germans have stopped"

"Stop? How is this possible?"Lieutenant General Rove was stunned. You know, he has very few troops to mobilize now. If the German army makes more efforts, he may be wiped out.

"Is there some conspiracy here?" Someone couldn't help but say

"Impossible, the German army is so close to us now, there can be no conspiracy."Lieutenant General Rove shook his head, denying this possibility.

"Unless, they're out of fuel?"

"Without fuel, this is unlikely."

"Commander, let's send scouts to observe. If the Germans really have no fuel, we can definitely launch a counterattack."Someone suggested.

Hearing this, Lieutenant General Rove's eyes lit up and he suddenly said,"Yes, you are right. Send scouts to take a look immediately."

"Yes!"_
