After the German SS 2nd Imperial Armored Battle Group, which had been transported over a relatively long distance, the SS 2nd Imperial Armored Grenadiers, which had been under the leadership of the troops, launched an attack on the central area of ​​Kharkov with the support of a large number of anti-aircraft machine guns, mortars, anti-tank guns and 105mm howitzers.

With the assistance of fierce self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, their first round of attacks immediately killed more than 40 Soviet troops and destroyed a number of tanks; as well as 6 artillery pieces, more than 10 anti-tank guns, as well as unknown infantry weapons and equipment.

When the SS 2nd Empire Armored Grenadier Regiment completed the first round of charge, they immediately organized a tight defensive front and stronghold on the spot.

The intervals between their strongholds were 400 to 800 meters, and they relied on more favorable bunkers, buildings with open shooting boundaries to defend against the Soviet army's sudden counterattacks or night attacks.

Therefore, the defensive firepower of the German strongholds is completely used to defend and attack the Soviet troops that launched offensive counterattacks with the most fierce and precise firepower network.

Moreover, the artillery of the German SS 2nd Imperial Armored Battle Group was quickly deployed under the command of observers and artillery commanders in various private houses in Kharkov, which they had just occupied; they quickly deployed their 105mm light howitzers, ready to bombard the Soviet counterattack troops or tank groups at any time.

At the same time, the reconnaissance team of the German SS 2nd Empire armored battle group was also divided into several groups, constantly conducting reconnaissance on the route of advance to investigate the movements of the Soviet army.

The Soviet army also constantly tried to sneak attack the German heavy weapon and equipment troops, such as heavy artillery troops and artillery groups, through the scattered infiltration of one company or two companies.

But no matter how cleverly and randomly the Soviet army changed tactics, how cunningly launched sneak attacks.

The final result was still with the advantage of German troops' numbers, weapons and equipment, as well as firepower; with the strong support of the German rocket launcher group and artillery group, the shells flying from all directions and the German troops suffered heavy casualties, and they were defeated step by step.

Originally, facing such a powerful attack by the German army, the combat forces of the Soviet army stationed in Kharkov were also drastically reduced; but their fighting will did not collapse at all, or they wanted to surrender.

Moreover, the Soviet army had a regiment reserve team that could be put into combat at any time, and each of them was equipped with more than 10 days of rations to wait for Zhukov's reinforcements to arrive.

However, even so, since the German army is not as short as gasoline, aircraft, tanks and other spare parts as it was gradually defeated, the German Fourth Air Force launched another attack to bomb the Soviet strongholds and defensive fronts that were fiercely resisting the German attack.

Under the illumination of gunpowder mixed with gunpowder smoke, a large number of air lights were shining; the entire Kharkov city, which gradually became cold wind and night fell on the ground, was also the number of casualties bombed by the German Fourth Air Force's aviation bombs rising rapidly.

Soon, those Soviet strongholds fought to the death to defend themselves were blown up one by one.

While the German army had the advantage, Manstein still urged the German 3rd Armored Army, the 6th, 10th, 48th and 1st Armored Armored Armored Armored Armored Armored Armored Armored Armored Armored Armored Armored Armored Armored Armored Armored Armored Armored Armored Armored Armored Armored Armored Armored Armored Armored Armored Armored

Because at this time the Soviet Army's 3rd Guards Army and the 1st Guards Tank Army had set out to march quickly to support the Soviet army in Kharkiv.

The two infantry divisions and a mechanized division of the Soviet army, which took the lead, also set off in Kharkov early in the morning and were about to reach the periphery of Kharkov, and were about to engage in contact with the German army on the periphery.

At the same time, in order to rescue the Soviet troops surrounded by the German army as quickly as possible, the Soviet air force also dispatched two air force armies to fight the interception of the German air force; airdrops and airlifted a large amount of military supplies and weapons and equipment to Kharkov, giving them to the Soviet troops who were defending their responsibilities, so that they could hold their positions desperately.

Moreover, when the German army was preparing to launch a second round of new attacks, the Soviet mechanized troops and the tank army, who had just arrived, also dispatched more than a hundred newly developed T-44 tanks, accompanied by the sound of shells and the sound of main gun shooting; the roar of the engine, and the sound of various wounded by shells, the howling sound of the officers and soldiers killed by the bombs, and the sound of painful struggles, including the smell of roasted pork burned by the fire caused by the explosion and the sound of shrill shouting.

Faced with the sudden attack of more than 100 new Soviet T-44 tank groups, the German T-54 tank group immediately assembled more than 200 tanks to fight and resist the Soviet tank group head-on and forcefully.
