Chapter 205 The first round of Scud missile launch attack
In fact, the reason why Stalin and the Supreme Command mobilized troops in this way was because the spies lurking in the German troops received some attacks on the German army that the German army would launch large-scale new weapons in the next two days.
Moreover, these new weapons are unveiled for the first time, and their rumors are very powerful, even more powerful than the troops that attacked the 13th Army Group of Sudi last time.
However, there has not been any investigation on where these weapons were made and where they were prepared to launch attacks.
However, the target of the attack has been reconnaissed, namely the Western Front of the Soviet Army, the Burryan side, as well as the Voronezh and the Grassland Front.
Of course, the source of the information obtained by the Soviet army's spies was Chen Yanlong specially asked his newly formed intelligence department to emit it.
This information is half true and half false, so the Soviet spies believed it.
When Stalin issued a new combat order to convert troops, Manstein's troops had also evacuated Belgorod and Kharkov one after another, and retreated to the vicinity of Kiev, waiting for Chen Yanlong's new combat order.
Although Manstein's Southern Army Group withdrew one-third of its troops, one-third of its soldiers were still annihilated by the Soviet army, and the other third were retreating while resisting the Soviet attack.
In fact, Manstein and all the soldiers of the army were unexpectedly surprised by the Soviet army's sudden large-scale and continuous counterattack.
The worst thing is that after Chen Yanlong evacuated the elite troops of the SS, the combat strength of the Southern Army Group was greatly reduced.
So they could not resist the Soviet army's total attack for a long time and began to lose.
In addition, many of the soldiers who died were sitting in carriages or trucks carrying their weapons and equipment; some remaining military supplies, and the wounded soldiers who often wailed in pain.
At that moment, the Germans in these retreats were in a very depressed and depressed mood.
Many soldiers were wondering whether they could survive, whether they had reinforcements to support them, or how long would it take for reinforcements to come, and where the Soviet army was pursuing now, whether Belgorod and Kharkov were occupied by the Soviet army, and other negative questions.
Even their group commander Manstein was filled with melancholy, constantly sending telegrams to Chen Yanlong for help, and constantly sending reconnaissance troops to reconnaissance the situation of the pursued Soviet army, and asking about the current situation of the war with other troops fighting on the frontline, and Belgorod and Kharkov were still in the control of their German army...
And when he received all kinds of unfavorable news one after another, his heart became silent in great disappointment.
At this time, Chen Yanlong sent a reconnaissance aviation team to reconnaise the Soviet troops' every move, and was secretly flying to the Soviet troops to take aerial photos on the front line gathering site.
After they collected the reconnaissance missions assigned to them by Chen Yanlong, they hurriedly turned around and left; they went back to Kiev to tell their aviation commander, and then asked their commander to report to Chen Yanlong.
After this, Dr. Braun and his team finally received Chen Yanlong's combat order and immediately launched the "Scud missile" to attack an hour later.
Facing Chen Yanlong's order, Dr. Braun, who had already prepared for the pre-war attack, and Dr. Hermann Obert, did not object, but nodded in agreement.
At this time, the troops left behind by Marshal Manstein had only two infantry battalions equipped with a large number of anti-tank weapons; they guarded Belgorod and Kharkov, and one infantry battalion guarded a place.
When Chen Yanlong issued the latest combat order, they had fought several confrontations with the Soviet army.
After many fierce battles, their casualties have reached two-thirds.
There are also many wounded soldiers in the remaining third of the troops.
Moreover, if many of these one-third of the soldiers were dispatched by Chen Yanlong to support them, they might have already been told to the battlefield.
"Do we still continue fighting here? I can't do it anymore, I want to retreat immediately!"
"I don't want to die either! When can we retreat? Sir!"
"Sir! Let's evacuate immediately! If we continue to fight with the Soviet army like this, we will be destroyed here!"
"Yes! We have killed and injured most of the soldiers, and we have no ability to continue fighting!"
But many of the remaining German troops were clamoring to their superiors and demanding a retreat.
"Waiting for the command of the headquarters, the superiors did not ask us to retreat. Anyone who dared to retreat would be executed immediately! You are warriors of our German Empire, so I hope you are not so greedy for life and fear of death! And even if you are about to die, you must find a way to kill more Soviet troops and bury us with the burial!"
"For your face and for the honor of our empire, you will die bravely! Not cowardly!"
But when the noises of their subordinates, their superiors made up their minds to die and cursed loudly.
And just at this moment, they just received Chen Yanlong's retreat order.
All the Germans who survived this were greatly relieved.
As long as you can still live, who doesn’t like it.
However, the Soviet army, which performed opposite to them, was excited and ready to launch the final general attack.
Because during the rounds of attacks they had just launched, they had discovered that there were only a few German troops defending Belgorod and Kharkov, and the two places combined had not even a regiment.
So they all thought that Manstein's German army was seriously injured and had no ability to continue fighting.
Maybe the German troops of Belgorod and Kharkov are the last combat force of Manstein's Southern Army Group.
In response, Zhukov and Marshal Huaseylevsky and a large number of high-level Soviet officers gathered together to discuss how to attack next.
After a fierce and cautious argument, the Soviet army's final decision was to launch a general offensive immediately and occupy Belgorod and Kharkov.
So after the orders of Zhukov and Marshal Huaseylevsky were issued, the Soviet army dispatched a large number of tank troops and launched a general attack with infantry after half an hour of artillery fire.
Apart from being troubled by the minefields in the city, the Soviet army's general attack did not encounter any resistance from the German army.
So they successfully occupied Belgorod and Kharkov, and cheered and searched the rest of the German army throughout the city.
In response to this, Zhukov and Marshal Huasilevsky were also happily sent a telegram to Stalin to report their good news.
They also planned to personally enter Belgorod and Kharkov after obtaining Stalin's next combat plan to see the situation inside.
The Soviet army was very excited and excited; Dr. Braun and Dr. Hermann Obert and others had also issued combat orders to launch the "Scud missile".
The missile launcher first transports the missile body and warhead components from the warehouse to the missile brigade technical battalion, and then sends them to the preliminary assembly area after simple preparation.
Then load the warhead into the missile, load propellant and oxidant, and the missile brigade enters the launching position at the same time prepares for combat.
There are also cranes to transfer missiles from semi-trailers to 9p117 launch vehicles, and also survey the launch site, that is, surveys on wind direction, wind speed, humidity, air pressure and other aspects.
Finally, installing missiles, and using latitude and gyro calibrators to calibrate the location of the targets they attack.
Then, within 15 minutes after the missile battery is connected, the missile will be launched.
The order was issued at once, and the first round of 36 9p117 missile launchers and hundreds of "Scud" missiles were launched from the transport-mounted vertical launch vehicle with murderous intent.
