Chapter 670

At the end of April 1941, a large number of troops from the Third Reich's Army Group South began to mobilize.

The various infantry and armored armies under the Third Reich's Army Group South rushed to their predetermined positions. The seven armies of the Caesar Kingdom Expeditionary Force also became the main force in this battle. On the contrary, the Expeditionary Force of the Kingdom of Romania and the Expeditionary Force of the Kingdom of Bucharia were responsible for secondary containment tasks.

As for the security of the logistics supply lines of the Third Reich's Army Group South, there is no problem.

Throughout the western plains of Ermao, most of the people of Ermao supported the Third Reich and welcomed the entry of the Third Reich's troops. Basically, no militants attacked the logistics supply lines of Army Group South. The security situation in the rear is also very good. This allowed Army Group South of the Third Reich to apply more forces to the frontline battlefield.

On May 4, the Third Reich's Southern Army Group dispatched three infantry armies, plus the four infantry armies of the Kingdom of Caesar, with a total of 1.3 million troops, to launch an attack on Jifu.

The Second Armored Army of the Third Reich's Army Group South and the other three infantry armies headed straight for the lower reaches of the Dnieper River. Prepare to cross the lower Dnieper River with naval support. In addition, the Kingdom of Caesar also dispatched three infantry armies to accompany this unit. Marshal Rommel, commander of the 2nd Armored Army, was temporarily in charge of commanding this force.

The Third Reich's Army Group South was now divided into two parts and launched an attack on Kifu and the lower reaches of the Dnieper River at the same time.

Among them, Jifu is a cruel urban battle. The lower reaches of the Dnieper River were a battle across the river.

No matter which battle, it is not easy. But no matter how difficult it is, the Third Reich and Army Group South must defeat the Woolly Bear Alliance. Otherwise, the combat mission of Army Group South will not be completed, which will affect the overall operation against the Woolly Bear Alliance.

"boom! boom! boom!"

The Third Reich and the Kingdom of Caesar dispatched more than 5,000 artillery pieces and launched a fierce bombardment of the capital. The Army of the Kingdom of Caesar is also very well equipped and the artillery is powerful. Although the number of heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 100 mm is not as high as The Army of the Third Reich. However, it was much stronger than the Mao Xiong Army.

Artillery shells hit the base like raindrops.

The continuous explosions almost resounded throughout the entire base. The buildings in the city, one after another, Building after building was blown down. Many soldiers of the Woolly Bear Alliance who defended the city were buried in the ruins.

Especially the two heavy artillery brigades of the Southern Army Group, with more than two hundred 210 mm heavy artillery, were also Joined the bombardment.

These 210mm heavy artillery are powerful. The buildings in Jifu City cannot bear it at all. Even the anti-gun caves and air-raid shelters built by the Mao Xiong soldiers will collapse directly if they are attacked. The soldiers inside , were buried alive inside.

In addition to the fierce artillery bombardment by the army, the air force of the Third Emperor and the Kingdom of Caesar also joined in.

A large number of dive bombers and medium-sized aircraft, under the cover of fighter jets, began to bombard the base.

Sharp Harsh whistling sounds resounded through the sky.

Heavy aerial bombs smashed into the house. Violent explosions sounded, and flames shot into the sky.

Buildings were turned into ruins in the explosion.

In order to strengthen the attack, the Third Reich Air Force even Two HE-111 heavy bomber wings were dispatched to carry out bombing missions.

These HBE-111 heavy bombers took off from airports in the Kingdom of Hungary and the Kingdom of Romania, and could carry up to four tons at a time. bombs.

The heavy bombers of the two wings were able to drop thousands of tons of bombs at one time.

This greatly strengthened the Third Reich's firepower against the base.

For several days, the entire base was blown to pieces. It was in ruins. There was almost no intact building visible in the city. There were ruins everywhere. Destroyed houses and streets were everywhere.

And the millions of Bear Alliance soldiers stationed in Jifu were also They paid an extremely heavy price.

Although they had strengthened their defenses as much as possible before the Third Reich's Army Group South launched the offensive.

However, it was only after the Third Reich's shelling and bombing began that they realized that their previous preparations were not at all It is not sufficient.

The seemingly solid defense line was as fragile as paper under the heavy artillery bombardment and heavy aerial bombardment of the Third Reich. Countless furry bear soldiers lost themselves in the shelling and bombing. His life. He was already killed before he even met the soldiers of the Third Reich.

This not only caused heavy losses to the bear defenders in the city, but also had a great impact on the morale of the troops. In addition, The political commissars at all levels of the Mao Xiong Alliance's Ermao Front Army before going up to investigate the Ermao surrenderers caused panic and almost severely damaged the morale of the troops.

This also made the top brass of the Mao Xiong Alliance's Ermao Front Army feel a great deal of pain. pressure

"Comrade Commander, the Third Reich assembled thousands of artillery pieces and a large number of aircraft to bombard the base indiscriminately. Within a few days, the entire Ji Mansion had been bombed into ruins. The troops stationed in the city were even more severely damaged. The morale of the troops also suffered a huge blow. Our original strategic intentions may be difficult to realize."Lieutenant General Bagramyan's expression was serious.

General Konev nodded. He did not expect that the Third Reich would prepare firepower for such a long time before launching an attack on Jifu. This was seen by the generals of the Wooly Bear Alliance. It is simply unimaginable.

Are these shells and bombs free? Transporting them all the way from the Third Reich to the front line costs a lot of freight alone!

But I have to admit that the first It is very effective for the Three Empires to use such powerful firepower to bully the defenders of the Woolly Bear Alliance.

At least, the defenders stationed in Jifu City not only suffered heavy losses, but also suffered a huge drop in morale. They want to rely on Jifu to severely damage the Third Empire Army Group South, the goal of making Army Group South of the Third Reich pay a heavy price here is probably very difficult to achieve.

"Anyway, we have no other choice. Order the defenders of Jifu. Behind us is the undefensible plain. Only by resisting the Third Reich's attack here can we defend our country. All troops must fight to the last soldier and must not retreat without authorization!"A trace of ferocity flashed in General Konev's eyes._To read the underlined version of the novel, please download Feilu Novel A
