Tomarovka is now an inevitable place for both the enemy and us. Therefore, while I invested a lot of troops, the German army also sent reinforcements. As a result, the fighting here became extremely fierce.

I placed four infantry divisions and two tank brigades in the city of Tomarovka. I originally planned to wait for the two friendly divisions to attack the city again, so that we can form a situation where we can fight more with less. Unexpectedly, until the evening, the battle between the two adjacent divisions was still going on outside the city, and the fierce battle between the city and the German army was still my army.

After a few hours of fighting, I unintentionally discovered a rule: As long as our army moves towards the east and west wings, the Germans will fight back against us in addition to holding their positions firmly. Several times, my troops approached the outskirts of Tomarovka on the east and west sides, and the Germans would launch a crazy counterattack against us under the cover of tanks. And if you push directly south, the pressure will be greatly reduced.

After reading the telegram in front of me, I raised my head and asked the four division commanders sitting across from me: "Comrades, tell me why the German army entered such a stubborn resistance when we were attacking the east and west wings?"

"Comrade Commander, the intention of the Germans is obvious." Colonel Sivakov said first: "They are afraid that after our army controls the east and west sides of the city, it will be able to carry out front and back attacks with friendly forces on the frontal attack."

"Comrade Colonel, I don’t think it’s that simple." As soon as he finished speaking, the 23rd Guards Corps Commander Tawart Kiraze said: "The Germans have given us an illusion that the southern part of the city is weak. Let us I thought it was not difficult to seize control of the south of the city. Maybe they had already ambushed heavy soldiers there. After our main force rushed to the south, they deployed troops in the east of the city to the west. They attacked and cut off our assault troops in one fell swoop. The back road."

Regarding the analysis of the two, I did not immediately express my opinion. Instead, he cast his gaze on Bielei on the left. After staring at him for a while, I asked, "Comrade Colonel. Is your tank unit going well?"

Biele shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Comrade Commander, the situation is terrible. Due to the bombing of the Air Force and the artillery shelling, the whole city is full of ruined walls and bricks and rubble. Our tanks are simply hard to move. You know, rubble. The pile is the natural nemesis of the tank. It has to cross the gentle **** formed by broken bricks. When going uphill, the weak tank belly will become the target of German tanks. When going downhill, the top cover of the tank will also be reversed. The blow of tank fire."

Listening to Bie Lei said that, my heart was cold. If our infantry is not supported by artillery in the street fighting, even if we occupy any position, they will be repelled in the next German counterattack. Thinking of this, I turned my eyes on the artillery commander Povsky again, and asked him with a smile: "Comrade Colonel, our artillery is in street fighting. Can it be used?"

Hearing my question, Povsky quickly got up from his seat and replied: "Comrade Commander. The rocket launcher cannot be used in the city, because the accuracy of the head is too bad, and we may accidentally injure our own people during the shelling. , So there are only one or two cannon regiments that can be used."

"Comrade Colonel, this is really great." I heard that one or two cannon regiments could be deployed into the city, and my heart became more at ease. With the support of artillery, our attack speed can be greatly improved. "Immediately dispatch two artillery regiments to the city."

"Comrade Commander." Povsky waited for me to give the order, and then asked me for instructions: "I don't know when the artillery regiment enters the city. Where should the artillery position be located?"

"You don't need to set up positions." I said in my heart that if you want to set up artillery positions in the city, what else would I ask you to do to transfer the artillery group into the city? In order to let him understand my intentions. I announced in public: "Comrade Colonel, after the artillery regiment enters the city. We will use companies as units and assign them to divisions, so that our artillery will follow the soldiers to charge."

After I finished speaking, all the commanders present, except Bie Lei, looked at each other with a blank expression. This time I remembered that only Berly and I have been together for a long time, knowing the "bayonet on the cannon" style of play that I advocated on the premise, and everyone else became my subordinates before the battle of Kursk began. It's not surprising that you don't understand this tactic.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Bie Lei quickly reminded me in a low voice: "Comrade Commander, you should tell everyone, I don't think they understand what you mean."

"Yes, Comrade Commander." The artillery commander Povsky who first echoed Colonel Bere said with a blank face: "Let the artillery charge with the artillery. I have never heard of this before. I have said that, so please explain it to us so that we can also know it."

"That's right, that's right," the division commanders below said babblingly: "Comrade Commander, just talk about it. Let us also understand how artillery charges with the infantry."

In order to enable them to implement my style of play, I explained to them in detail what the "bayonet on a cannon" is all about. Finally, I repeatedly emphasized: "...The infantry encountered the enemy when charging. When the strong firepower point is high, the artillery can be used for direct aiming to destroy it."

After listening to my explanation, everyone started to talk again. Among them, Tawart Kiraze said excitedly: "If this tactic is adopted, as long as the German firepower is exposed, it will be immediately destroyed by us. Not only can it be done? Reduce the casualties of the troops, and at the same time speed up the advancement of the troops."

Seeing everyone talking about it, Colonel Berley was a little bit unable to sit still. He approached me and asked in a low voice, "Comrade Commander, what should I do with the two tank brigades I command?"

Considering that there are ruins everywhere in the city, which is not conducive to the formation of tanks and the implementation of assaults, I ordered Bere: "Comrade Colonel, you deploy the tanks of the tank brigade near the positions controlled by our army to serve as fixed forts. "Speaking of which, I couldn't help muttering in a low voice, "In this way, even if the Germans send out tank troops to counterattack, they will be wiped out by our tanks."

Because I adjusted my tactics in time. After the artillery regiment entered Tomarovka, our offensive began again. The Germans thought they could still use firepower as before. After suppressing our offensive forces, we will launch a counterattack. Who knows this time. As soon as the fire was exposed, the machine gunner didn't even finish a bullet chain, and he was blown into the air by the man with the machine gun.

I stayed in the headquarters with a group of division commanders. I didn’t see the telegrams sent to me by the communicators. The contents of the messages were all: What buildings on XX street were occupied by our troops and how many enemies were destroyed How much wait.

Tawart Kiradze couldn't close his mouth with a smile when he saw such a battle report. Because almost all the troops fighting in the city belonged to his 23rd Guards Corps. He walked up to me. Raising a stack of telegrams in his hand, he said excitedly: "Comrade Commander, the style of play you proposed is really effective. You see, after only more than an hour, our troops were The east, the west and the south occupy two streets. As long as this speed of progress can be maintained, we will have no problem in regaining Tomarovka before dark."

Regarding Tawart Kirazze's statement. I also feel the same, because the feedback from the divisions, the offensive is very smooth. I plan to wait until the area under our army's control becomes larger. We divided our troops to support the offensive of the friendly forces on the east and west wings.

Just when we felt that victory was in sight, an accident happened. Govorunenko, who was commanding troops to attack the south of the city, called and reported to me: "Comrade Commander, has the German army reinforced the south of the city?"

Govorunenko's words shocked me, and I hurriedly asked: "What kind of reinforcements are the enemy's reinforcements?"

"According to the confession of our captives," Govorunenko continued: "The German 332nd Infantry Division was severely underpowered under our army's fierce offensive. The 19th Panzer Division of the German General Schmidt came to reinforce it. , With the 73rd and 74th armored infantry regiments. Strengthened the defensive force of the line of defense."

"Have you seen the German tanks?" I heard that it was the 19th Armored Division, and I couldn't help being shocked in a cold sweat. Although this force was defeated by us some time ago, its overall strength should not be underestimated. After more than half a month of rest. Perhaps its combat effectiveness has returned to its strongest state. If we want to eliminate it, we will inevitably pay a painful price.

"I saw it, Comrade Commander." The more worried you are, the more you come. I am most worried that there will be tanks accompanied by the infantry regiment, but I did not expect that there will be tanks. Just listen to Govorunenko continued: "My observation post reported that the German army had assembled at least 20 tanks and planned to attack us in several streets at the same time."

"Comrade Colonel, quickly set up barricades and deploy artillery behind these fortifications." While thinking about how to deal with German tanks, I said to Govorunenko: "If the enemy attacks, you will use artillery to attack the enemy. As for the infantry following behind, use assault rifles and machine guns to kill them all."

Just after the phone call with Govorunenko, Sivakov called me again. When I heard his voice in the receiver, I asked nervously, "Comrade Colonel, is there something wrong with you?"

"Something happened, what happened?" Sivakov asked inexplicably. But when I heard that I did not answer, he reported to me excitedly: "Comrade Commander, I have good news to tell you."

Hearing the good news, my spirit immediately lifted, and I hurriedly asked: "Comrade Colonel, I don't know if you have any good news to tell me?"

"Comrade commander, our division and the commanders of the 51st Guards Division successfully broke through the defense of the German city west, captured the headquarters of the 676th Regiment of the German 332nd Infantry Division, and killed the colonel of the regiment."

"Great, comrade colonel, the news you told me is really great!" I was overjoyed when I heard the killing of the German army commander. In this way, the defenders in the west of the city would be killed because the commander was killed. Into a chaos, so that we can wipe out the enemies one by one in the west of the city. I quickly urged him: "Comrade Colonel, quickly control all the streets in the west of the city, and be prepared to attack the German positions in the western suburbs."

Tavartkilasze waited for me to put down the phone and couldn't help but curiously asked: "Comrade Commander, what good news did Colonel Sivakov report to you? Look, your face is almost blooming. "

"Comrade General." I smiled and said to Tower Kiraze: "I want to congratulate you!"

"Congratulations?!" My words confused Tawart Kiradze, and he asked confusedly: "Congratulations to me what?"

"Colonel Sivakov reported that the combined units of the 51st and 71st Guards Divisions had successfully captured the regimental headquarters of the German 676th Regiment and killed the regimental commander." I said this with a face on my face. The smile even worsened: "Isn't it worth congratulating you for the brilliant achievements of your subordinates?"

"Yes, it should." Tawart Kiradze nodded like a chicken, and then he said to me: "Comrade Commander, I have a suggestion. After our army controls the west of the city, we can let us The tank brigade went out from the west of the city and went to the south to attack the rear of the German army. I wonder if it will work?"

After listening to Tavart Kiradze’s suggestion, I did not immediately answer him. Instead, I turned my head to look at Colonel Bere next to him, and smiled and asked, “Comrade Colonel, what’s your opinion?”

Bie Lei thought for a while, then nodded and said, "General Tawart Kiradze's opinion is very good. We went around behind the German 19th Armored Division without knowing it, and then launched a surprise attack. 375th Infantry Division The comrades of Japan, if they attack from the front, it is possible to wipe out the German armored division."

"Very well, Comrade Colonel," I am full of praise for his proposal: "The Germans must have never dreamed of it. Our two tank brigades will suddenly emerge from behind them. In this way, we will definitely be caught by us. I was caught off guard." After I finished speaking, I waved at him and said, "You can arrange it right away!"

After Biele left ~lightnovelpub.net~ Povsky couldn't sit still. He said to me anxiously: "Comrade Commander, it is very difficult to wipe out the 19th Armored Division of the German Army with the tanks of the tank brigade alone. So I suggest sending artillery to the area where the German tanks are assembled. Members, let them provide parameters for the rocket artillery instructions outside the city, guide the shooting target, so that the German tanks will become a pile of scrap iron under our artillery fire."

"Comrade Colonel, we have nothing to do here anyway." To be honest, I also want to see with my own eyes how our troops annihilated the German armored division, so I took the initiative to say to Povsky: "We will come together. Go there and have a look!"
