Chapter 195 How long will Model's reinforcements arrive?

As soon as the words fell, Soviet pilot Nosov, Ushakuf, and their Il-2 attack aircraft were immediately destroyed by the German w.gr21210mm rocket.

And along with them were several Il-2 attack aircraft not far behind them. These aircraft were destroyed and exploded into large fireballs, and then scattered on the ground in pieces.

In response to this, the Soviet Il-2 attack aircraft that immediately reacted hurriedly began to face the second wave of w.gr21210mm rocket attacks by the German army.

However, there were still many Il-2 strong aircraft that were shot down quickly. Even some Soviet aircraft that had penetrated into thick clouds were quickly destroyed with thick smoke.

Even if the Soviet aircraft wanted to take advantage of its height and began to dive counterattack, they still could not easily get rid of the fate of being pursued by the German army and being destroyed by the plane.

Of course, in this increasingly fierce air attack, there were still many still fires caused by the Soviet counterattack, and thick smoke rolled onto the ground.

But the luckier thing is that there are many German troops, and the pilots from his servant country, parachuted safely, and did not destroy the planes they drove.

"Look at our Air Force is finally here!"

"I saw that they were still hitting the Soviet army's aircraft group and constantly falling like dumplings!"

"Hey! Our Air Force is amazing!"

"It's a pity that they appeared too late, otherwise we wouldn't have suffered so many people!"

"Yes! What exactly have they been doing during this period!"

"Who knows! Let's continue to fight with the Soviet army! Their tank group is about to attack again!"

"Damn the Soviet army!"

Looking at the German Air Force fighting bravely in the sky, the German soldiers who were fighting desperately on the ground were all talking and talking.

However, their discussion soon stopped, because at this moment, the Soviet tank group continued to charge towards the German defensive positions like an indestructible young strongman again.

Under the howling battle slogan of "Ula", a large number of Soviet troops followed the black t-34 tank group and headed towards the desolate defense of the German army bombed by artillery groups and aviation bombs.

Before the German aviation troops came to aid, the Soviet long-range aviation and night bombing aviation carried out long-term, large-scale aviation raids on various defensive positions of the German army.

The Soviet army's attack targets were the German artillery positions, defense support points, and military gathering places; they continued to bombard 24 hours a day, until the German army turned dizzy, with a large area of ​​casualties, and about half of the defensive fortifications were blown up before the bombing gradually decreased.

That is why the German troops on the German positions faced another large-scale attack by the Soviet army, the counterattacking troops did not conduct rapid combat operations as well as they were usually well-trained.

At this moment, they just began to gather one after another and resist.

Seeing the troops with less optimistic morale in front of him, General Hot, the commander of the 4th Army Group, immediately led his guard to the front line to lead the battle and boost the morale of the soldiers.

Fortunately, in the half-hour large-scale air combat, the German aviation troops finally won the victory and repelled the Soviet aviation army.

For this reason, there were no Soviet air strikes on the entire German defensive position.

In addition, the German aviation troops also flew to the Soviet artillery positions and gave the other party a fierce bombing, which destroyed a lot of artillery positions. The heavy force of their artillery fire was forced to temporarily stop.

The morale of the German army instantly increased due to the sudden reversal of the battle, so their counterattack became more and more fierce.

The Soviet army, which was increasingly intensively attacking their defensive positions, repelled again and again.

Especially with the assistance of the German aviation troops to strafuse the enemy with fierce air firepower, bomb the enemy, and to distract smoke bombs from the Soviet army's combat vision, the counterattack of the German infantry and tank groups became easier and easier, and their number of casualties was also significantly reduced.

However, the tank group of the 48th Armored Army was almost gone, because most of their tanks were destroyed and exploded by the Soviet guard tank group and anti-tank guns.

Of course, one-third of the tanks were blown up by the Soviet air force. General Hort was also heartbroken for the heavy losses, but he could not help.

"How many tanks do we have left to fight now?"

After looking at the Soviet tank group that had just been repelled by them, General Hot asked Hopner, the tank commander beside him nervously and anxiously.

"More than 50 vehicles, less than 60 vehicles! If there were no reinforcements, I'm afraid our 48th Panzer Army will be destroyed here!"

Lieutenant General Hopner said frustrated and worried.

"How long will it take for Model's tank reinforcements to arrive here?"

Admiral Hort continued to ask.

"Our radio station was disturbed and damaged by war, so there was no way to contact them for the time being! But two hours ago, their telegrams sent us that it would take several hours to arrive at us!"

Lieutenant General Hopner replied in a less optimistic tone.

"What! Why is it going to take so long! It's been two days and two nights since we sent a telegram for help!"

Admiral Hort said anxiously.

"There is no way! Because the Soviet air force is carrying out air strikes around our battlefield, and there are many intercepting troops, so if they want to come here, they must find a way to avoid the Soviet air strikes and fight against the interception!"

Hopner hurriedly explained.

"Damn the Soviet army! And our aviation army that often huddles up! If it weren't for their cowardice, how could our army be bombed unrelentingly by the Soviet aviation army and carried out inhumane bombing!"

Upon hearing this, General Hort immediately cursed angrily.

"In fact, we cannot blame our aviation troops, because the number of Soviet air troops is really greater than ours; and we are still conducting two-line operations, as well as the quality of the Soviet aircraft, and the combat effectiveness of the pilots has also been greatly improved! So even if our aviation troops do not hide, they may not be able to completely block all the Soviet air strikes!"

Hopner retorted a little disagreeably.

"Are you from the Air Force or the Army? Lieutenant General Hopner!"

After hearing this, General Hort stared at Lieutenant General Hopner with great displeasure and asked.

"Army! Sorry, I'm speechless! Commander Hort!"

Lieutenant General Hopner blushed in embarrassment.

"Then I will find a way to continue to resist the Soviet attacks, and wait until our reinforcements arrive, and it is best to wait until Marshal Manstein's troops are all evacuated from the battlefield!"

General Hort gave the battle order with a sharp look.

"Yes! Commander Hort!"

Lieutenant General Hopner hurriedly saluted and responded.

"Oh no! The Soviet tank group is attacking again! And it's Rebarko and his 3rd Guard Tank Army Group attacking!"
