Guttmann's army was frustrated in the offensive, and Dremov was not much better. Before Katukov could call him, he had already called first. As soon as he heard Katukov's voice, he couldn't wait to say: "Comrade Commander, the German army has deployed a large number of troops in the municipal building. Our offensives have been repelled by the enemy, and the troops suffered heavy casualties. "

Since Guttmann’s troops were not attacking smoothly, Dremov, who launched an offensive in another direction, was not much better. Hearing Dremov’s complaints at this moment, Katukov was able to ask calmly. : "General Dremov, when you attacked, didn't you send tank troops to the battle?"

"I sent a tank company to cover the infantry of a battalion and launched an offensive from the west to the municipal building." Dremov replied in a loud voice: "The enemy has deployed a large number of buildings in the buildings on both sides of the road. Anti-tank fighters destroyed our tanks one by one. Now the burned tanks have blocked the way forward, so that we can't send new tanks to the battle."

Regardless of whether it is Gertmann or Dremov, both of them belong to traditional soldiers. The tactics used on the battlefield are derived from the knowledge they have learned in the military academy. Therefore, their combat styles are quite satisfactory. , Lack of necessary changes, which is why it is difficult for them to make any progress after the tanks that assist the infantry’s attack are destroyed by the enemy.

"General Dremov, since tanks can no longer be dispatched, then I will replace it with artillery." Katukov repeated what I said to Guttmann to Dremov, and finally said: "But You have to send troops to kill the anti-tank fighters in the buildings on both sides of the road, otherwise our artillery will become their targets."

After Katukov finished speaking, Dremov made another request cautiously: "Comrade Commander, I have another request. According to your order, in order for the troops to have sufficient physical strength during the battle tomorrow, So most of my troops are resting. However, due to the failure of the attack on the municipal building, my current strength is seriously insufficient. Can some of my troops stop resting and let them also participate in the night battle?"

"No, this will definitely not work." As soon as Dlyemov's words were uttered, Katukov's rejection was met: "The battle that is being carried out now is not a warm-up before the war. There is no need to invest too much force. When it is stipulated, when the German army is exhausted by our offensive, letting those troops that have already cultivated enough energy into the battle can achieve a multiplier effect. Understand?"

"Understood." Dremov replied reluctantly: "I immediately arranged the artillery to cooperate with the infantry to launch an offensive."

The Germans may not have dreamed that our army would use artillery to shoot directly at their fortified municipal buildings when the tanks were destroyed. Seeing our army quickly approaching the municipal building from the west and north, the commander of the German army was a little anxious, and immediately ordered the tank unit hidden in the south of the city to follow the street and launch an assault towards the side and rear of our offensive force. .

When Katukov heard the latest situation reported by Guttmann to him, he couldn't help but smiled and said: "General Guttmann, it's time for you to take revenge. There are anti-tank fighters who are not Germans, and we also have them. And we are affiliated with troops. The 40 rocket launchers are much better than the anti-tank weapons used by the German army. Immediately set up combat teams in the buildings on both sides of the street. Each team has five people, equipped with bazookas, light machine guns and sniper rifles. The enemy infantry uses them. Machine guns and sniper rifles are used to deal with, tanks use bazookas to deal with. Do you understand?"

Hearing that his troops can take revenge, Guttmann excitedly agreed: "Don't worry, Comrade Commander, I will let the anti-tank fighters teach the Germans severely. No matter how many tanks the enemy comes, it must be They are to be broken into scrap iron."

"I'm waiting for your good news." After Katukov finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

After listening to Katukov's arrangement, I couldn't help nodding secretly. The combat method he said was very effective against the German infantry's offensive covered by tanks. Deploying combat teams in buildings has small targets and is not easy to be spotted by the enemy; even if the German army finds out where they are, it will not be easy to destroy them. Presumably, the German army that launched an attack hastily suffered heavy losses.

Seeing me nodding, Katukoff asked me casually: "Lida, what do you think of my deployment like this?"

"Yes, very good." I replied briefly.

"It's great there. Let me tell you." After Katukov sat down at the table, took out a cigarette and lit it, looked at me with interest and said, "I want to hear your true thoughts."

I nodded and said what I was thinking: "General Katukov uses a conventional large force to attack in the city. As the offensive side, it is very disadvantaged. We use the combat team method of combat. To deal with the German group charge, you can eliminate the enemies that appear in our vision one by one like practicing shooting. I believe that it will not be long before the enemy will be stunned by our style of play, and then Their offense will fall apart completely."

My statement was quickly confirmed: After the German tanks attacked the streets near the municipal building, they were attacked by our combat team. In the narrow streets, the German armored forces could not start the battle at all. When their first tank was destroyed, the long armored queue that followed was blocked on the street. Then our combat team relied on the favorable terrain to launch a snipe on the German tanks and soldiers.

When the tank unit that came to reinforce the municipal building was wiped out by hundreds of combat teams of our army, Katukov raised his hand to look at his watch, then looked up at me, and asked tentatively, "Lida, although it is not possible to launch a general offensive now. There is still more than an hour left, but I think the German army has completely fallen into chaos. Even if we attack in advance, we can achieve the ideal state."

I think Katukov’s proposal is completely correct. As a senior commander, he must be good at grasping the battle opportunities that appear on the battlefield so that he can achieve the greatest victory. Therefore, I nodded vigorously and said decisively: "General Katukov, since you think the time is ripe, then give an order. Let our commanders stop resting and immediately launch an attack on the city's defenders."

…………

After the fighting in the middle of the night, the German army was exhausted, and coupled with successive defeats, morale was also in a sluggish state. They never dreamed that our army would launch an attack at this time, and the investment of troops and technical equipment suddenly increased several times. The resistance in most areas was quickly destroyed by our army, and only a few areas of the German army were still resisting.

However, no matter how tenacious the enemy's resistance is, it will not help under the strong offensive of our army. By about 8 o'clock in the morning, the sound of guns from the city gradually became thinner. Hearing such a movement, I knew that the battle in the city had come to an end.

While we were anxiously waiting for the battle report from the city, Zhukov's call came in first. He opened the door and asked Katukov who was answering the phone: "Comrade Katukov, how is the situation, when will your troops take Chernowitz?"

"Comrade Marshal," Katukov quickly answered Zhukov's question: "After a night of fierce fighting, my troops occupied most of the city. Although there is no final report, it is from Vietnam. It can be judged from the increasingly sparse gunfire that the German resistance has become weaker and weaker."

"Good job, Comrade Katukov." Zhukov heard that most of the city is already in the hands of our army, and his tone of voice became enthusiastic: "It looks like you can take Chernoviy before noon. Policy."

Although from the analysis of various signs, the capture of Chernovic can be completed within one or two hours, but Katukov said cautiously: "Comrade Marshal, we will go all out."

"I have one more thing to inform you. Once Chernivtsi is completely liberated, the city will be renamed'Chernivtsi'. You will adopt the new name of the city in the battle report." Zhukov may I was afraid that Katukov would question the reason, and added: "This is a decision made by Comrade Stalin."

I can see from the expression on Katukov’s face that he asked why he suddenly changed his name, but after hearing Zhukov’s next sentence, he closed his mouth obediently. Since it was the Supreme Commander himself who spoke, don’t say anything. Change it to "Chernivtsi", even if it is changed to "Moscow", it also makes some sense.

Zhukov paused for a moment, and then continued: "If you successfully liberate Chernivtsi before noon, you'd better engage in a style of entering the city so that the residents of the city can see our soldiers."

"Understand, Comrade Marshal, I will enter the ceremony safely right away." Katukov put down the phone, called the military commissar sitting next to him, repeated Zhukov's words briefly to him, and then said: "Comrade Military Commissioner, you are more familiar with things like the entrance ceremony, and I will leave it to you."

"Comrade Commander," the military commissar stood up and said to Katukov: "Our main forces are all fighting in the city. It is obviously inappropriate for them to withdraw from the city to participate in the entrance ceremony. You see, we Should the troops directly under the group army be used to hold this entrance ceremony?"

I think Katukov’s proposal is completely correct. As a senior commander, he must be good at grasping the battle opportunities that appear on the battlefield so that he can achieve the greatest victory.
