The Germans on the northern front began their offensive at dawn on 14 May, twelve hours later than in the south. The Germans first bombed the artillery positions of the Soviet 13th Army, inflicting heavy losses on the artillery of the Soviet Central Front. Just after 5 o'clock in the morning, tank and armored infantry launched an attack on the flanks of the Soviet Pukhov's 13th Army and its adjacent 48th Army of Romanenko and the 50th Army of Kalanin.

The offensive was also supported by tank minesweeping detachments and small Goliath remote-controlled tanks carrying explosives. Three hours later, the offensive resumed on a narrower front, supported by Leopard and Petdinand tank destroyers. At first, Soviet resistance was weak, and the air force seemed to be less determined, and Moder's progress was satisfactory, as he broke through the first line of defense by opening a gap about six miles deep in a twenty-mile-wide front. Then the Soviets quickly strengthened their resistance. The German infantry cleared villages, bushes and woods and suffered heavy casualties, killing and wounding more than 3,000 in one morning.

The Germans, attacking from the north, expanded the front of the breakthrough to almost 50 kilometers and advanced 60 kilometers in depth, threatening the supply lines of the entire Orel Soviet salient. The Germans, attacking from the east, were also closing in on Orel. The Soviets were no longer able to hold several simultaneous breakthroughs in the Orel salient, and the intensity of the German attack reached its peak, and the strength of its armies had increased to 82 infantry divisions, 24 tank divisions, 12 artillery divisions, and a large number of independent tank units by the time the engagement was about to reach its peak.

The Soviets seemed to be unable to hold the protrusion to the east, and its front was on the verge of being breached more than once. Although the Soviet troops also received part of the replenishment of troops. But it still could not stop the German offensive like a tidal wave, and then the Soviet army in the north could only retreat step by step.

General Moder relied on a superior force to attack and forced the Soviets back to the Dnieper, although the Soviets had built a new line of defense on the Dnieper River as early as the beginning of October last year. But the situation was irreparable, and in the end, the Soviets were forced to withdraw from the Dnieper region under the pursuit of the Germans, who had a huge disparity in strength.

Because of the sudden change in the situation, Moder received the latest order from Limer, that is, to devote all his forces to the siege of the Kursk region by the 16th of this month, and Moder followed Limer's order. Take out all the reserves. More than a dozen armored divisions were crushing the true meaning of the Soviet army, and there were more than two hundred planes hovering over their heads at any given moment, what JU87, DO17. BF109 and so on. The two weapons that make me the most happy to buy and my favorite. It is none other than an RPG and FA223 helicopter.

RPG fights Soviet tanks that are called a cool, with a range of 400 meters and an armor-piercing ability of 250 mm. Soviet tanks could not even carry the front, and a single rocket was a burning steel bonfire.

In addition, the FA223 helicopter is equipped with a 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun bullet, and the current FA223 helicopter has reached three tons of empty load, which is one ton higher than the original, and these loads can fully install the key troops of FA223 with protective armor.

These two weapons are Li Mo's first large-scale use, this time the Soviet army is miserable, above are helicopter-carried rockets and anti-aircraft machine guns, below are countless tanks and infantry, there are still JU87 dive bombers at high altitude, even if the Soviet defense line is strong, it can't stop the German attack, it's just that the Soviet mines, blown up some German tanks, this is also no way, but most of these tanks can be repaired and used.

Moder's assault began to go smoothly, as did the southern assault group, and Li Mo used the weapons and troops at the bottom of the box at one time, and success or failure was here. The distance between the closing points of the encirclement became smaller and smaller, and by one o'clock at noon, the distance between the two German attack groups was less than thirty kilometers, and the Soviet resistance was becoming more and more fierce.

The reason why the Germans were able to go so smoothly in the Battle of Kursk was because Limer knew how to use all the heavy weapons well, the tank tactics were used more properly, and the coordination of ground and air forces was well organized. In this battle, the German tank units acted in a "wedge" formation. This formation proved to be very effective. At the top of the "wedge" are heavy tanks, and the Leopard tank is very effective against the tank defense of the Soviet army in depth configuration.

Tank assault in conjunction with helicopters, that is even more invincible, this tactic will not be used on a large scale until 1991 even in the Gulf War, as a result of which was moved by Li Mo to 1941, which is a full 50 years in advance, and the Soviet Union can not be defeated.

The Soviets could only use the fortifications to make the final resistance, which made the progress of the final closing battle of the German army a little slow, but the German army was still closing step by step. After that, the German offensive became a kind of hard forward push, relying entirely on the weight of superiority to pressure the Soviet troops to retreat. It was a costly effort, but thanks to the FA223 helicopters, it also helped a lot, and the fate of the Soviet army was already irreversible.

As the Soviets continued to throw the remaining tank units into counter-charges, the Germans had to pay a high price to occupy a stronghold, and at 4 p.m., the distance from the junction was only ten kilometers.

Stalin ordered that the additional reserves must be drawn up day and night, even if there were German planes like crows in the sky. A steady stream of follow-up troops of the Soviet army marched into the front line and then stubbornly held the ten-kilometer line of defense.

Southern Front: At this time, the German offensive in the south was even more overwhelming, and the southern attack group first broke through the Soviet defense line north of Orel, thus shaking the entire Soviet defensive system.

Tolbukhin's Soviet Southern Front and Malinovsky's Southwestern Front, with a certain number of forces, each carried out a tentative offensive on the Mius River and the middle reaches of the Donets near Izyum, about three hundred miles southeast of Orel.

These attacks were directed at Mackensen's 1st Panzer Army and the newly created Hollidt's 6th Army. The Germans would be equivalent to two armies of powerful armored forces, and the Soviet troops who tried to attack were taught a lesson in the face.

After that, the frenzy of counterattacks was almost higher and higher, as the Soviets gathered the largest number of elite troops on the southern front, and in September last year, the Soviets reached Kiev and the Great River Bend, seizing several strongholds leading to the Dnieper. Due to the heavy losses of the Soviet army, it was no longer possible to hold Kharkov and Belgorod, so it could only choose to retreat continuously.

During the operations during the Battle of Kursk, the Germans showed themselves to be inferior to the Soviets in any respect. They showed indisputable superiority in tactics, and the offensive and retreat operations were carried out very quickly and methodically.

Army Group South has more morale and heavy weapons, which is more unstoppable by the Soviet army, and the special FS223 helicopter with tanks, RPGs, and armored tracked vehicles basically has the effect of crushing the Soviet army's defensive line, although the Soviet army's desperate counterattack cannot stop the German attack, but the German army's losses are not small, and the outcome of the Soviet army is still unchangeable.
