Chapter 196: Admiral Holt with a heartache

"It's Rebarko and his 3rd Guard Tank Army again! Send me the 505th and 506th Heavy Armored Battalions to resist them!"

"These bastards! I must kill them hard!"

Hearing the shouting, General Hort immediately growled in anger.

The reason is very simple because the opponent's tank army annihilated a lot of his tanks, so he hated the opponent to the core.

"But Commander Hote! The 505th and 506th Heavy Armored Battalions are fighting fiercely with other Soviet tank troops! There is no way to draw tanks to help us fight against Rebarco's tank army group!"

Lieutenant General Hopner responded with a bitter face.

“…”

Upon hearing such unfavorable news, General Hort's chest was rising and falling in anger, and at the same time he was speechless for a moment.

At this time, his 4th Army Group once again faced the fierce attacks of the Soviet artillery group, mortar group, rocket launcher group, and tank group.

Because at this moment, the German air force had completed air strikes and left the battlefield and returned to their airport to replenish fuel and wait for new combat orders.

"Okay! Be prepared to deploy our reserve teams, Leopard and Tiger tanks, into battle! No matter what the price is, it will be good. I must severely damage Rebarco and his 3rd Guard Tank Army!"

After a while of silence, General Hort replied with a cold look on his face.

"Yes! Commander Hort!"

Lieutenant General Hopner also responded loudly immediately.

Then, he went to dispatch troops.

The battle soon entered a fierce state. As Hort's 4th Armored Army Group had more than ten tragic positional battles, their troops were all declining sharply.

Therefore, in the face of the Soviet army's large-scale attack, they could not fully defend all their positions.

For this reason, the Soviet troops were able to unexpectedly break into Hot's army artillery positions and other important defense locations in deep defense lines.

Fortunately, Hort had added additional machine guns, grenades, and more than 20 howitzers to the artillery units early in the morning, as well as the guards.

Therefore, once they discovered the Soviet troops that had already sneaked in, they immediately launched a fierce counterattack on them.

Although the Soviet army suffered a lot of casualties, the Soviet army still continuously dispatched wave after wave of troops to launch surprise attacks on various important key defense areas of the German army.

Moreover, there are many places where Bu Tan is coordinating and fighting, and they are constantly rushing to the German defense line.

As for the Germans, under the desperate order of General Hort, they continued to use their anti-tank guns, anti-aircraft guns, rhino 88mm tank destroyer, and hornet 105mm self-propelled howitzers; under the Soviet T-34 tank group and the infantry army, they carried out the most tenacious and strongest firepower counterattacks.

In a short while, the Soviet tanks that were charging forward desperately were destroyed one after another.

The Soviet tanks and infantry units were also placed in small groups, surrounded and gradually annihilated.

In response to the sudden change of the German counterattack, the Soviet tank group was also conducting support operations more continuously.

However, General Hort quickly sent his reserve leopard and tiger tank groups, as well as the stg3 self-type artillery, and dispatched them to the front-line defense positions without reservation, giving the Soviet army the largest casualties.

Faced with the German army's desperate resistance, a large number of Soviet tanks were destroyed and caught fire by the German Tiger tanks and the main guns of the Rhino 88mm tank destroyer at a distance of 3,000 meters.

In addition, many Soviet infantry were also attacked by the German Leopard tanks, Stg3 self-type artillery; 88mm anti-aircraft guns and anti-tank guns, and were quickly consumed and weakened by the vital forces and tanks.

When the Soviet tank group and the infantry army following them were weakened in large numbers, the Soviet army gradually stopped attacking.

In this large-scale offensive and defensive battle, the Soviet army also lost at least more than 200 T-34 tanks.

As for the infantry division, two were also crippled, with more than 20,000 casualties.

The lost weapons and equipment are enough to equip 4 infantry divisions.

Rebarco and his 3rd Guard Tank Army were also furious, wishing to tear the entire 4th Armored Army to pieces and wipe out all of them.

"I really didn't expect that these German troops, such tenacious and powerful, were beaten so hard that they suffered so much casualties by us. They could still cause such tragic losses to our army in today's battle! I really don't look at this old guy Hort!"

Rebarko listened to the report of his combat staff officer Sharif, while clenching his fists and said angrily.

"Actually, that's because we didn't know that the 4th German Armored Army was actually hiding a group of elite reserve troops to supplement their operations! Otherwise, we wouldn't have been killed by them today and killed so many soldiers and tanks!"

Operational Staff Sharif responded in a comforting tone.

"Don't comfort me! Today's mistakes are all my fault! If I hadn't been too careless, then we would not have been repelled and destroyed by them today, as well as so many tanks, and so many soldiers killed and injured!"

Rebarco sighed and said guiltily.

"But we don't have to be too discouraged! Because Hort's 4th Army Group has been beaten to incompletely by us now, at most only one-third of the troops are left, and not even so many!"

"So if we conduct a large-scale attack on them, we may be able to wipe them out!"

Operational Staff Sharif responded in an inspiring tone.

"Well! I think so too! Although their reserve troops caught us off guard! But we also gave them a certain price for casualties! Then now we will prepare for the second round of strong attack immediately! This time we must catch the old guy Hot!"

"I will take good care of him! Otherwise, I will be sorry for the heroic spirits of the soldiers who died!"

Rebarco also had his eyes lit up, and he grinned in his heart.

"Yes! Commander! The final victory must belong to our great Soviet Republic!"

Operational staff officer Sharif quickly agreed.

After hearing this, Rebarco smiled brightly with a bright smile.

At this moment, General Hort stared at the few remaining troops in great pain, and anxiously waited for his subordinates to count the number of casualties.

Although the fierce Soviet army was repelled, his 4th Army Group and the elite reserve troops dispatched by Chen Yanlong were also seriously injured.

Now his troops have shrunk to less than one-third of their troops, and most of them have been lost in weapons, equipment and ammunition.
