USSR 1941

You must know that Rakovitza has the strength of an army group in his hands, while Schobert only has an infantry division in his hands.

So it's hard for Schobert to imagine that Rakoviteza will ask him for help.

But Rakoviteza really needs to ask Schobert for help, because the outer defense line has collapsed, and no matter how Rakovitza deploys troops, it will not help.

However, even the German army is powerless to fight the war to this extent.

"General!" At this moment, Rakowitza couldn't care less about his demeanor, and asked Schobert for help on the phone in horror: "The Russians have broken through our defense line, and their tanks are advancing deep towards us!"

This is not true. The Soviet tanks were not only advancing in depth towards the Romanian and German defense lines, but were divided into two groups, one of which was advancing in depth, and the other main force was advancing in the middle between the outer defense line and the middle defense line.

This was the strategy that Shulka and Major General Tokarif had made before.

Originally, Major General Tokariv really wanted to go deep and hit Odessa in one go, but Shulka disagreed with this approach.

"Comrade General!" Shulka said: "I don't think it makes much sense to do this. Although it is possible to break through the two lines of defense, the enemy may fill in the gap and build a new line of defense!"

There is 20 kilometers between the first and second lines of defense. This distance will take at least an hour for tanks, and then attack the second line of defense... two hours is necessary if everything goes well.

Two hours was enough time for the Romanian army to respond and build a vertical line of defense. At that time, what the Soviet army got was just a narrow passage, which could easily be cut off again by the Romanian and German armies.

"I think!" Shulka said: "We should hit the Romans' weak point, which is to use the fastest speed to penetrate the middle ground!"

As a result, the Romanian army was in a mess.

Because the troops stationed in the middle zone of the Romanian army are relatively vulnerable units that need to be protected, such as engineers, artillery, field hospitals, logistics units, command headquarters, and so on.

First of all, they are not combat units, to be precise, they are not units that fight the enemy head-on.

Secondly, they never thought of how the Russian army would suddenly appear in the rear, and it was still a tank.

As a result, they were caught off guard and confused, and many people didn't know where to run if they wanted to run.

"Block them!" Schobert shouted at Rakowitza.

At this moment, Schobert's heart was already filled with a thousand muddy horses roaring past, but he knew that this was not the time to curse, because his fate was already connected with these bastards.

"I'll reinforce you right away!" Schobert said, "Steady your ground!"

"Yes, General!" Rakowitza replied.

Then Schobert gave an order, and a regiment was drawn from the 22nd Infantry Division and rushed to the front.

The reason why a regiment was transferred was because Schobert only had cars carrying one regiment of infantry... These cars also came from the Romanian army, and the German 22nd Division, which landed here, basically had no heavy equipment.

On the other hand, it was the German army that needed to maintain its offensive line.

This approach is of course correct. Schobert knows that the more he does this, the more he has to maintain his defense line. If the east wall is torn down to make up for the west wall, the Soviet army in Odessa will soon rush out.

However, just because Schobert knew this did not mean that others knew it.

What Schobert didn't know was that Rakowitza, in a hurry, transferred the troops attacking Odessa back to the middle ground.

This has caused a bigger problem: the middle line of defense is useless, because it has to face the enemies in the middle zone and Odessa at the same time...

Petrov was not a fool either, at this time he didn't know what to do, and the defenders of Odessa launched a counterattack in the rear of the Romanian army as soon as he gave an order.

If it is possible for the German army to block the previous gap with the Romanian army, this landslide-like failure will be buried no matter how many people pile up.

At this time, Shulka is advancing behind the tank... The more you chase the enemy, the more you should fight steadily. After all, if you are in a hurry, you will jump over the wall. The enemy may spontaneously organize at any time in order to escape and save their lives. Turn around and bite you hard.

Therefore, most of the Soviet troops followed the tanks and moved forward.

There were also a few troops who jumped over the tanks and attacked forward, but soon disappeared like a mud cow into the sea... After all, the enemy is a group army with more than 100,000 people.

In fact, sometimes there is no need to be so hasty in pursuit, because those who flee for their lives in a hurry will block their own way in panic.

For example, when Shulka and the others saw a not-so-narrow bridge that was tightly blocked and could not pass through, when Shulka and the others followed the tank up, it immediately caused panic in the Chen army, and then it became a piece of the bridge. Many people rushed into the river desperately... As a result, many people who could not swim drowned in the river, and those who escaped in a hurry raised their hands and surrendered.

Along the way, there are cars, artillery, ammunition and supplies abandoned by the Romanian army.

At first, the Soviet soldiers would grab the supplies when they saw them, but later they didn't even bother to look at them. Some people even laughed at their crazy behavior of grabbing bread.

"I regret it!" The thief looked at the discarded beef cans on the roadside and said with emotion: "I snatched three cans and brought them here all the time!"

"And the piece of horse meat you cut?" Leonyev asked.

"I ate a little, and lost the rest!" The thief replied, "I found out that you were right, I shouldn't have brought it with me in the first place!"

The soldiers laughed coaxingly.

What impressed Shulka the most was the occupation of a field hospital.

It was obviously also an abandoned field hospital, full of stumps and broken arms, and of course dead bodies and wounded who could not move.

When you walk in here, you will have the illusion of walking into a slaughterhouse, but here are not animals but people.

The wounded looked anxiously at the Soviet army walking towards them, with complicated eyes, not all fear. Shulka believed that many of them actually hoped that the Soviet army could help them end their pain.

"What shall we do with them?" the actor asked.

"Just pretend you didn't see it!" Shulka ordered: "Go ahead!"

It is basically impossible for the Soviet army to heal them. The Soviet army itself does not have enough medicine to treat the wounded soldiers, let alone these people are invaders.

Therefore, it is not difficult to guess what will happen to them in the end.

Shulka knew that the enemy's defeat was certain when there was a burst of artillery fire from the south... It was the sound of Odessa's counterattack.
