Chapter 673

"Your Excellency, Marshal, several infantry armies have already crossed the Dnieper River. Engineers are currently accelerating the construction of the pontoon bridge. It is expected that our army will be able to establish a foothold on the east bank of the Dnieper River before evening today."Reported by General Hans Hube, Chief of Staff of the 2nd Armored Army. Field

Marshal Rommel nodded. He still had great confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Army of the Third Reich.

Especially with the strong support of the Imperial Air Force and Navy fleet. Down the Dnieper River and the troops of the Woolly Bear Alliance, it is even more impossible to withstand the attack of the Third Reich's army.

"What about Caesar's Kingdom? How are their progress?"Marshal Rommel asked

"Your Excellency, Marshal, the combat effectiveness of the Caesar Kingdom's army is slightly worse than that of the Imperial Army. This caused them to suffer greater losses during the river crossing battle. However, the army of the Kingdom of Caesar has also arrived on the east bank of the Dnieper River. It is expected that we will soon be able to establish a foothold on the east bank of the Dnieper River!" said General Hans Hube

"Very good, give orders to each group army to speed up the progress and be sure to defeat the enemy in front of them. In addition, let the engineers start building a strong pontoon bridge capable of passing tanks. Our armored forces must cross the river as soon as possible!"Marshal Rommel ordered

"Yes, Your Majesty Marshal!"General Hans Hube replied.

The four tank divisions of the 2nd Armored Army of the Third Reich are waiting to cross the river, and each infantry group army is also equipped with a large number of tank troops.

Once these powerful armored troops After successfully crossing the Dnieper River, the Furry Bear Alliance can launch a fierce attack.

Naturally, it is impossible for the army of the Furry Bear Alliance to withstand the attack of the Third Reich.

The troops of the Third Reich quickly crossed the Dnieper River, The defense line of the Woolly Bear Alliance army on the east bank of the Dnieper River was ineffective.

This not only caused heavy losses to the Woolly Bear Alliance, but also made the entire Dnieper River defense line likely to collapse.

Once the defense line was destroyed, the Woolly Bear Alliance wanted to rely on the Dnieper River To resist the attack of the Third Reich and protect the vast eastern part of the Ermao Plain, it was a delusion.

So when the unfavorable battle situation reached the headquarters of the Ermao Front, General Konev was very angry.

"Damn it! What the hell are those guys doing? Are they all a bunch of losers? We have deployed millions of troops throughout the lower Dnieper region. There are also rivers as natural moats. But so vulnerable. In this case, how can we withstand the attack of the Third Reich and defend our homeland? How to defeat the vicious enemy?"General Konev roared angrily.

"Comrade Commander, our defense forces came under heavy naval artillery fire from the Third Reich Navy. In addition, the Third Reich Air Force dispatched a large number of fighter planes for bombing. Troop losses were extremely heavy. So much so that it could not withstand the attack of the Third Reich." explained Lieutenant General Bagramyan, Chief of Staff of the Front Army.

"Excuse! These are all excuses! The third one is very strong, their firepower is strong. However, our troops have firm beliefs and invincible tenacity! As long as the front line holds firm enough, it will be able to withstand the Third Reich's attack, or even severely damage them!"General Konev had a dark face.

General Bagramyan was immediately speechless. In his opinion, General Konev's request was simply too much.

With the combat effectiveness of the Mao Xiong Army, under the fierce shelling of naval guns and Under the indiscriminate bombardment of fighter planes, it was almost impossible to resist the attack of the Third Reich Army.

"Order the various armies in the lower reaches of the Dnieper River to hold their positions no matter what."General Konev ordered

"Yes, Comrade Commander! Lieutenant General Bagramyan replied.

After Lieutenant General Bagramyan left, General Konev frowned tightly.

He could feel that the troops deployed in the lower reaches of the Dnieper River had suffered extremely heavy losses. It was a blow.

Under such circumstances, it is simply impossible for the so-called Dnieper River Defense Line to continue to hold on.

But for the current Ermao Front, if they cannot hold on to the Dnieper River Defense Line, they will be extremely It is possible to suffer a disastrous defeat in this battle.

Not to mention anything else, but after the troops of the Third Reich cross the Dnieper River, the entire eastern part of the Ermao Plain will be undefeated.

Especially on the vast plains, it is very suitable The assault of the armored forces of the Third Reich. Although the Ermao Front also has as many as two tank armies, more than two thousand T-34 tanks, and other types of tanks.

But you don’t need to think about it to know that these tanks of the Mao Bear Alliance The troops were simply vulnerable to the armored forces of the Third Reich.

General Konev knew very well that the current situation was even more unfavorable for the Ermao Front Army.

The Ermao Front Army fought a bloody battle with the Third Reich Army in Jifu. But even through street fighting, it could not withstand the Third Reich's attack, and the losses were very heavy.

The Dnieper River defense line also could not withstand the Third Reich's attack.

This would cause the entire Ermao Front to suffer a disastrous defeat on the battlefield.

5 On August 0, the main forces of the three infantry armies of the Third Army Group South and the three armies of the Caesar Kingdom Expeditionary Force had already crossed the Dnieper River.

This made the Ermao Front of the Wooly Bear Alliance want to hold the Dnieper River defense line. , has completely become a delusion.

At the same time, the engineers of the Third Reich built three solid pontoons capable of passing tanks in the lower reaches of the Dnieper River. The

2nd Armored Regiment of the Third Reich and the tank battalions under each infantry division began to Crossing the river.

A large number of armored troops crossed the river, giving the Third Reich Army Group South a powerful assault force.

As a large number of main forces crossed the Dnieper River, the Third Reich's army began to take the initiative to launch an offensive.

Armored troops were used as the main assault. With strong support from the Air Force, the troops deployed by the Woolly Bear Alliance on the east bank of the Dnieper River were simply unable to withstand the Third Reich's attack. The

Furry Bear Army's defense lines were constantly being broken through, one after another.

The entire Dnieper River defense line had become riddled with holes. On May

5, after one to five days of fierce fighting, the Third Reich Army Group South had defeated the Ermao Bear Alliance. The front troops deployed in the lower reaches of the Dnieper River.

The entire Dnieper River defense line also tends to collapse._Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
