The landing troops fought for half an hour, and after that, there was no more gunshots on the other side.

"Report to the division commander, our troops have controlled the other shore." After receiving the news from the radio, the adjutant was quite happy.

"Then build a bridge immediately and cross the river!" Weber said.

The bridge-building troops were ready on the side.

During the conquest of Europe, the German army encountered various rivers. The shallow ones, and the tanks could be connected to the vent pipe and went directly to the bottom of the river. When they encountered deep and wide ones, there was no other way, they could only walk on the bridge.

On the European battlefield, due to the chaos of the enemy, German troops can often send vanguard troops to seize the bridge, protect the bridge, so that their main forces can cross the river calmly.

But it didn't work here in the Soviet Union, especially as it deepened, the Soviet army no longer panicked and began to enter an orderly stage of resistance. When they retreated, they often blew up the bridges, and even if Germany sent a few troops, they could not protect them, and they could not confront the main forces of the Soviet Union.

Especially now, in order to stop the German army's attack, almost all the bridges here have collapsed. Germany has long been prepared for this, which is the construction of engineers.

Germany has implemented mechanized bridge building for a long time. For example, now, bridge mounts are transformed from the original Black Panther 2 tank chassis. On the top of the vehicle, there is a steel bridge. As the bridge car moves to the front, the bridge above begins to flip, part of it is used as the bridge legs, part of it is used as the bridge deck, and a section of the bridge is built.

The bridge car behind continued to drive to the bridge that had been built, and continued to build the bridge and move forward one after another. In the afternoon, a bridge that was enough for tanks to pass through was built.

At this time, other infantry units had already begun to ride in unrenovated wheeled infantry fighting vehicles and cross the river. When they arrived at the other side of the river, in the swamp, as long as the modified infantry fighting vehicles equipped with screws were pulled, they could be directly pulled to the hard shore land.

The speed of crossing the river was not slow. The infantry that passed by would firmly guard the beachhead. The Dnieper River, which the Soviets thought was natural, was just a small ditch in front of the German army.

When it was almost dark, tanks rumbled across the bridge, and the 17th Armored Division continued to advance!

Overall, during the entire war, the Soviets' command was quite chaotic. As long as one of the nodes was destroyed, some of the troops would fall into a state of commandlessness.

At the same time, the Soviets' command methods were also quite backward.

They rely on radio stations, but on the battlefield, the radio station's signals are always disturbed. They rely on messengers to deliver the military situation. When the messengers send the orders, the situation changes, and they still have to modify the orders.

This aggravated the chaos in the Soviet army.

This army guarding next to the Dnieper River was actually forgotten by its superiors. The information on the conquered position was mixed with a large and small amount of information, and it was not reported in time.

In this way, until now, the Soviet army has not noticed that there is a big hole in their defense line. Following this big hole, the elite German armored troops have already penetrated.

It is said that at this time, there were heavy troops deployed by the Soviets. Even if an armored division came in, it would be very dangerous and would even be surrounded and annihilated by the Soviet army.

However, the German armored troops were always so bold. Under the intelligence reconnaissance of the Air Force, they deviated two times in a row, bypassing the 20th Army defense zone and the important road leading to Smolensk, and rushed directly to the southern city of Smolensk.

The Dnieper River runs across the Smolensk city area and divides the city into two parts: north and south. The south is residential and commercial areas, accounting for 2/3 of the city, and the north is industrial areas, accounting for 1/3.

In the south, only Lu Jin's militia was defending.

Lu Jin stayed in the city defense headquarters in the north of the city and anxiously urged his superiors.

At this time, Temusinge was responsible for the defense of the entire Smolensk front.

Pavlov's mistakes led to the failure of the Western Special Military Region. When Pavlov was summoned from the front line and then shot, Temuxingo replaced Pavlov and headed to the Western Special Military Region.

Unfortunately, the failure of the Western Special Military Region was destined, and Temuxine could not save the situation. At Zhukov's suggestion, the base camp gave up Minsk and began to set up defense lines in the back, and Temuxine retreated with the trend and defended in Smolensk.

Temuxine was under great pressure. He had been kicked to Ural Mountain by Stalin for a failure. If he failed again this time, it is conceivable that Pavlov was his role model.

Brother Timuxin dared not take any negligence. Almost every day, he was planning and staring at his defense map and was tracing.

In history, Timuxin Ge is definitely not a loser, but a successful person.

Because he had a good personal relationship with Stalin, he was not implicated in the Great Purge. At the same time, he won the Soviet-Finn War, forcing Finland to seek peace and make great contributions.

Timushinko took over the commander of the Western Front in a critical situation in July 1941 and commanded the retreat battle in Smolensk. Despite the huge price, Timushinko successfully stabilized the situation of the Western Front, stabilizing the front until the end of September 1941 when the German army launched the Battle of Moscow.

Afterwards, he was transferred to the Ukrainian front and commanded the Red Army, which had just been wiped out in Kiev and Uman, successfully stabilized the front line and successfully commanded the Rostov counterattack.

It can be said that Timuxine is a figure who turns the tide in the Soviet Union. Unfortunately, the German army is far stronger than the period in history. Timuxine knows how much pressure he is.

"Marson, General Lu Jin is here." At this moment, the adjutant's voice made Brother Timuxin come to his senses: "No, tell him that I don't have time. The equipment he wants is being transported over from the rear and will arrive tomorrow."

Brother Timuxin already knew Lu Jin's name, and he was simply a celebrity in front of Stalin. However, Brother Timuxin had no objection to this. Such a tiger general was useful under his own hands.

However, when I came here every day to ask for equipment, I couldn't stand it. Now I just disappeared. Of course, the rear was adjusting equipment, but my subordinates were short of equipment everywhere, so I couldn't give all the equipment to the militia under his command, right? Those militias are now defending in the southern urban areas, and the Germans can't beat them for the time being, so I have to keep up with the front line first.
