The next morning, the two sides stopped fighting and ceased fighting, each counted the losses, Vincent's SS was wounded more than 20 tanks last night, 15 were destroyed, those tanks were impossible to repair, and there was no way to tow them back to Orsk, and finally the retreating SS had to blow it up completely, Vincent was still relatively satisfied, his own tank losses were not large, and the losses of the infantry and armored vehicles that followed were also not very large, no more than 30 at most, and this was still in the case of the Soviet army with "Bazooka".

Although Vasilevsky did not care much about the consumption of infantry, he lost more than 30,000 people last night, and with the number of casualties during the day, the total number of Soviet casualties reached 50,000, and the total number of casualties of the Soviet army reached 50,000, with the loss of more than 300 tanks, more than 100 aircraft, and more than 500 artillery pieces.

Vasilevsky was not a stupid pig, so he hurriedly stopped the war temporarily, first repaired the defense line in the southeast, and at the same time wrote a detailed report on the advantages and disadvantages of these weapons aided by Britain, France, and the United States, and sent it by telegram.

The tanks of Britain, France and the United States were just as rubbish in front of German tanks. Now that he has produced a medium tank called T34 and a heavy tank of the KV series, Vasilevsky is convinced that these tanks of his own are not superior to the German heavy tanks. But these tanks can definitely fight with the German tanks.

The T34 tank can be said to be the best medium tank in World War II, and even the German No. 4 tank can only have its own advantages and disadvantages, but the T34 uses cast armor, which is cheap, easy to manufacture, and has strong mobility, and the inclined armor also increases the defense of the T34, of course, the T34 of the Soviet Army also has shortcomings, first of all, because the Soviet radio industry has not kept up, so most of the T34 is not equipped with radio. In addition, there are still many T34 problems in the early and middle stages. It was not perfected until the later stages of the war.

The German tank No. 4 was certainly better than the T34, but the No. 4 tank was built too precisely and still used a gasoline engine, which was expensive. It's not easy to build. It is also the main reason why the tank No. 4 is inferior to the tank sea of the Soviet T34. Historically, the total production of the T34 was 80,000 units.

Vasilevsky was confident, of course, for a reason, because the Soviet T34 tank had already begun mass production, and of course this was an early model of the T34 tank. To be exact, it should be called T34/76, this 76 refers to the caliber of the T34 tank gun, the Soviet army will soon find that the 76 mm anti-tank gun does not pose much threat to the German Leopard front, and will soon produce another model - T34/85, which is equipped with 85 mm T34, is the biggest threat to the German No. 4 tank, of course, there is also a great threat to the side of the Leopard, the threat to the lower part of the front is not small, and at the same time, it can also penetrate the Leopard frontal hull armor within 500 meters.

Later, the full-scale T-34/85 tanks were equipped with the ZiS-S-53 85mm gun, which almost doubled the penetration of the earlier F-3476mm gun, and the power of firing high-explosive shells was greatly increased. When confronting the German Tank IV, it can easily penetrate the frontal 80mm vertical armor of the Tank IV from a distance of 1,500 meters, and can penetrate the frontal hull armor of the Panther at a distance of 500 meters. Although tank battles on the Eastern Front generally took place at a distance of 1.2 km, the Leopard could destroy the T-34-85 before it entered the effective breakdown range.

The Soviet Union's tank manufacturing capacity is very strong, although there are German planes to bomb now, but the factories in the Ural industrial region and Moscow, can hide and scatter as much as possible, and relocate those who can be relocated, the methods are all thought up by people, the Soviet Union's tank production and research and development have not stopped for a moment, in recent days hundreds of T34s have been transported to the front, and then Vasilevsky can start to fight with the SS in Orsk.

Vincent couldn't have imagined that his surprise attack actually made the Soviet army stop attacking, which was really an unexpected surprise, and every night in the future, Vincent would send his own tanks out to get the Soviet army, and Vasilevsky's response was to let his army retreat twenty kilometers and continue to surround Orsk, and at the same time dig more anti-tank trenches, which made Vincent stop.

Although Vincent's trucks have more than 10,000, they have been blown up by Soviet air raids, although Vincent is trying his best to hide his trucks, but Orsk is only so big after all, and the Leopard tank is Vincent's top priority to hide, Vincent's materials, of course, are all hidden underground, because each house of the Soviets has a cellar, which is just enough for Vincent to store supplies, so scattered and hidden underground, the Soviet bombardment of the SS material losses are negligible.

Vincent, who had no way to attack at night, began to build a large number of fortifications like the Soviet army, although the strong fortifications could not withstand the continuous and fierce artillery attack, but it could not be repaired because it would be destroyed, and it was also very important to provide some defense for his infantry as much as possible.

……

Orsk was temporarily calm, but the Stalingrad front was full of war clouds, and with the arrival of various arms and supplies, Limer had deployed nearly a million of his troops in front of Stalingrad, preparing to launch an attack on Stalingrad.

Himmler, because he did not understand military affairs, snatched the commander-in-chief of Army Group South, which turned out to be a trap by the high command that made Himmler jump in, and Himmler once again recruited SS troops in Germany and the EU in order to make up for his mistakes.

If the SS was defeated or the whole army was destroyed, Himmler who had lost the SS was nothing but a piece of, and how could Himmler not do his best in such a situation, and he would not be soft on the equipment he should have wrought, even in the recruitment of the SS.

When Himmler was waiting for arms and weapons in Limer, one million newly formed SS troops had already been hunted, and now Limer's total strength was two million, and even tanks and planes, Himmler was desperate to be stabbed in the chrysanthemum again, and grabbed the equipment of an armored army for Limer, including two No. 4 tank divisions, two Leopard tank divisions, and an aviation corps for aircraft. But the million-strong new SS troops were still being trained in Germany, and even if the German soldiers were of good quality, it would take at least a month to train.

For the sake of these two armies, Himmler almost worked with the group of grandsons in the High Command, originally Hitler was the same as the High Command, and did not want to give Himmler so much equipment, but when Hitler received a telegram from Limer, he immediately changed his mind. It turned out that Limer had sent a telegram asking Hitler to appoint Blyukhel and Egorov as SS generals.

This telegram made Hitler feel that his "Marshal Limer" still respected him the same, and he did not assert many things, and his children would not become other people's children if they were beaten casually, which made Hitler feel very cordial, and he quickly allocated Himmler's equipment to Limer. The tactfulness of the Chinese could not have been fully understood by Hitler.
