The War of Resistance Begins with the Regiment Leader

"General, the Soviet army's shelling is very beneficial. If this continues, we may suffer heavy losses." The combat staff stood aside and said anxiously.

His face was full of worry, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. As a combat staff officer, he is well aware of the severity of the current situation. If effective response measures cannot be taken in a timely manner, the entire defense line may face the risk of collapse.

"Send a telegram to General Reichenau immediately and ask for artillery support." General Giniz said hurriedly, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in his tone.

At this critical moment, he could only ask for support from higher authorities, hoping to get strong firepower support to resist the crazy attack of the Soviet army.

Soon, the communications officer hurried in and reported: "General Reichnau called back and said, "Let us continue to hold our positions, and the support of the air force and artillery will arrive soon."

"How long will it take to arrive? It's almost impossible to defend." The combat staff asked worriedly, his voice full of eagerness.

In this battlefield where artillery fire is endless, every second of waiting may cost a huge price.

"I don't know for the time being, I should be on the way here." The communications consultant explained. Although he could not determine when the support would arrive, he could only comfort everyone with such words.

In this tense atmosphere, a glimmer of hope may make everyone persevere.

Upon hearing this, Admiral Ginitz nodded. Although he was an admiral, he had little say in the command of the Air Force. As for the artillery directly under the army, facing such a large-scale artillery attack by the Soviet army, the counterattack was undoubtedly a useless attack on the stone, which would only kill the death in vain and add to the opponent's achievements. He knew in his heart that at least the artillery directly under the army must be qualified to shoot against the Soviet army. It would be better if the artillery of the Army Group could join the battle. General Giniz knew that the Supreme Commander had transported a batch of rockets. If they could be put into counterattack, the effect would be absolutely great and might be able to reverse the current adverse situation.

"Notify and order all troops to continue to hold on. Even if there is only one last person left, you must hold the position." General Giniz said in a deep voice, revealing a firm determination in his tone. At this critical moment, he must stabilize the morale of the army and let the soldiers know that no matter how difficult it is, he cannot retreat.

In response, the command center's staff immediately responded, with a hint of tragic voice. They knew very well that the battle would be extremely difficult, but for victory and honor, they must stick to the end.

At the same time, Lieutenant General Ferkelenko looked at the map with a serious expression on his face. His eyes were deep and firm, as if he could see every detail on the battlefield through the map. "After the artillery fire is covered, we will launch an attack immediately. We must pass through the Dnieper River as quickly as possible, attack the German defensive positions, and be sure to wipe out the German army." His voice was low and powerful, full of confidence and determination.

At this moment, the communications consultant hurried in with an urgent telegram and said loudly: "Your Excellency Commander, the Commander of the Front Army issued an order to immediately execute the counterattack order. You must break through the German position in the shortest time and take down Kiev and other places as soon as possible."

"It seems that General Watujing, as I thought, I call back my department and am ready to attack at any time." Lieutenant General Ferkelianko said expressionlessly. A hint of undetectable excitement flashed in his eyes, and the battle finally reached a critical moment. He knew very well that the importance of this battle not only concerns the situation on the battlefield, but also the direction of the entire war.

"Yes!" The communications consultant immediately turned around and went to convey the order. The atmosphere was tense and warm in the entire command center, and everyone was making final preparations for the upcoming offense.

"This time, we must kill the German army without leaving any armor." The chief of staff next to him said excitedly, his face filled with excitement. In this cruel war, he longed for a refreshing victory and avenged his comrades who died.

"This is for sure. Marshal Zhukov mobilized nearly three million troops and launched a full-scale attack on the German army in the entire Dnieper River. This time he will win." Lieutenant General Ferkelenko said with a bright smile. His smile was full of confidence and pride. Under the command of Marshal Zhukov, he believed that victory would belong to the Soviet army.

"I will win!" Everyone in the command center shouted loudly, and their voices resounded throughout the command center.

Soon, the Soviet army's general attack officially started, and the momentum was like a surging and unstoppable torrent. On the banks of the Dnieper River, all kinds of landing ships, even small fishing boats that are inconspicuous and can barely float on the river, and even rafts that are temporarily pieced together, are pushed into the Dnieper River.

These ships carried the fierce fighting will of the Soviet soldiers and headed towards the German positions across the river. A magnificent but extremely cruel landing battle across the river began.

When the Soviet army had just launched a counterattack, the German mortar immediately launched a fierce counterattack.

In an instant, shells fell like raindrops, and huge splashes of water exploded on the water surface of the Dnieper River.

After a while, dozens of ships, rafts, and even seemingly solid landing ships were ruthlessly sunk in this dense artillery fire and slowly sank into the river.

The soldiers riding on it had a very miserable fate. Some were shot and killed by the German army in panic, while others fell into the water because of the overturn of the ships, struggled desperately in the cold and turbulent river water, but in the end they were flooded by the ruthless river water and lost their precious lives.

Such a tragic scene did not only happen in the attack area of ​​the 38th Soviet Army.

In fact, along the entire Dnieper River, the remaining armies were also subjected to fierce attacks from the German army when they launched the crossing of the river.

However, the commanders of the Soviet army had long expected such a fierce counterattack.

They looked cold and expressionless, and calmly commanded the troops to continue crossing the river regardless of everything. In their firm eyes, they revealed a determination to look home and never give up until they achieve their goals.

"This is a forced crusade." The German commander stood on the position, looking at the densely packed ships and rafts on the river, frowned tightly, his face full of solemnity. He knew very well that the Soviet army's determination to attack this time was extremely firm, and a fierce battle was inevitable.

"Captain, what should I do now?" A major officer looked anxious and hurried to the commander and asked loudly. At this moment, the sound of gunfire was deafening and smoke filled the battlefield. The two had to shout at the top of their throats to make the other party barely hear their words.

"Retaliate, be sure to defend the position." The German commander gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, his voice full of unquestionable firmness. In his heart, the position is their lifeline, and there must be no retreat at all.

"Yes!" The major officer stood attentively and saluted, then turned around and quickly ran back to his post to convey the commander's order. For a time, the sound of gunfire on the German positions became increasingly dense, and the firepower of various weapons was intertwined, forming a seemingly indestructible firepower net, pouring wildly towards the Soviet army on the river. After paying the heavy price of nearly 10,000 casualties, many Soviet troops still successfully crossed the Dnieper River. However, in this process, many fully-organized troops suffered a catastrophe, and the entire army was destroyed, and no one could survive.

This is a cruel war that is truly life-and-death and leaves no room for anything.

Both sides of the war used all their strength and tried every means to shoot the enemy standing in front of them, and to do whatever they could to win.

"Fight back quickly, you must not let the Soviet army land successfully." Seeing more and more Soviet soldiers land successfully, all the German commanders who were commanding the battle on the Dnieper River yelled at the top of their lungs. Their voices became hoarse with excessive shouting, but they were still filled with the desire for victory and the determination to stick to the position. Under their command, the German soldiers continued to attack the landing Soviet army like crazy beasts.

"Ula, we must retake the Dnieper River."

"Kill and take back the position."

"Kill all the Germans."

The Soviet soldiers who had successfully crossed the river shouted loudly, with flames of anger and fighting spirit burning in their eyes, and they charged towards the German positions regardless of everything. In their hearts, even if the German army's position was as solid as a rock, they had enough courage and strength to break it. With loyalty to the motherland and belief in victory, these Soviet soldiers marched forward bravely in the rain of bullets and were not afraid of the threat of death.

At this moment, a buzzing roar suddenly came from the sky. Everyone looked up and saw German bombers appearing over the Dnieper River like a black **** of death under the tight cover of fighters.

"Damn it, it's the German fighter jet." A Soviet soldier shouted in horror.

The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!

"Hide, hide quickly." The Soviet commanders issued orders loudly, with anxiety in their voices.

"Where is the anti-aircraft gun? Open fire quickly." Someone shouted loudly in panic.

"Run over, you can't stop." Some soldiers were also cheering up their morale loudly at this time.

After arriving at the predetermined location, the German bomber group threw down bombs without mercy. Suddenly, explosions on the ground were heard one after another, and fires soared into the sky. The Soviet artillery that had no time to retreat suffered heavy losses, especially the Katyusha rocket launcher, known as the "god of war", was instantly blown into a pile of scrap iron under the attack of German bombs, and the parts were scattered everywhere.

"Where is the air defense artillery? Fight back quickly." The Soviet commanders were anxious and kept urging the air defense forces.

"Bastard, retreat quickly." Someone shouted at the top of his lungs in the chaos.

The Soviet soldiers on the Dnieper River were in the most difficult situation at this time. They could not move forward or retreat, so they could only grit their teeth and rush towards the opposite shore. German fighter jets took this opportunity and fired frantically at the Soviet soldiers on the river like hungry vultures. The Soviet soldiers without any shelter were shot and killed countless times under this dense firepower. For a moment, the originally clear Dnieper River was instantly stained with blood, like a river of **** flowing with blood.

"Damn it, fight back." The Soviet soldiers roared angrily, but they seemed a little helpless under the strong air superiority of the German army.

"Where is our air force." Someone shouted in despair, hoping to get support from his own air force.

Unfortunately, no matter how they shouted, they received no response. On this cruel battlefield, the balance of fate seems to be temporarily inclined to the German side. In order to survive, some Soviet soldiers with good water nature resolutely jumped into the river. With their outstanding swimming skills, they swam hard towards the other side and were lucky enough to survive. Soldiers with poor water properties either drive a raft and rush to the other side in one breath, or choose to turn around and go back. Because they knew clearly that if they continued to stay where they were, death would be the only thing waiting for them.

At this time, within the command of the German Sixth Army, General Reichnau received the latest combat order from Manstein. The content of the order was extremely short, but full of unquestionable resoluteness: "Be sure to wipe out the enemy 38th Army." General Reichnau carefully studied the telegram, and he knew the great significance and arduous tasks behind this order.

"At any cost, be sure to wipe out the 38th Army of the enemy shore." General Reichnau repeated the order again in a low voice. Then, he immediately turned around and shouted to the communications officer: "Transfer the order and the troops will immediately launch a general attack."

At this time, the German Air Force had successfully destroyed the Soviet artillery positions, creating favorable conditions for the attack of ground troops. After receiving the order for the general attack, the German soldiers on the front line were very energetic and immediately launched a fierce general attack on the landing Soviet 38th Army. A more tragic and thrilling battle broke out along the Dnieper River.

During this fierce battle, Lieutenant General Ferkelenko, the commander of the 38th Army of the Soviet Army, felt an unprecedented uneasy. Because he clearly felt that the German army's combat power was too strong, far beyond his expectations.

What made him even more desperate was that the skeleton armored division directly under the Manstein cluster actually appeared on the flank of the 38th Army like a ghost. This situation completely stunned Lieutenant General Ferkelenko because he only deployed an infantry army on his flank. With such a force configuration, he could not resist the powerful charge of the German armored forces.

Under the fierce impact of the German Skeleton Armored Division, the flank defense line of the Soviet 38th Army was instantly broken through.

Caught off guard, Lieutenant General Ferkelenko's 38th Army suffered heavy losses. In just two hours, the number of casualties exceeded 50,000.

Moreover, a large number of artillery and Katyusha rocket launchers were also destroyed under the attack of the German army, and the combat effectiveness of the entire army was greatly weakened.

Faced with such heavy losses, General Vatujing, the commander of the Soviet Voronezh Front, was also stunned. The 38th Army is an extremely important ace force in his hands, and was highly expected in this counterattack.

However, the result was shocking. After only a few hours of beating, 50,000 people were lost. This number is really shocking and heartbreaking. (End of this chapter)
