In the end, the two sides finally collided together, and the German armored forces put up the last resistance, they relied on bunkers, wreckage and even each other's hulls to fight, but the Germans who had been squeezed together did not have a good way to face the Type 29 tank destroyers that broke through head-on, and the Germans began to try to make a detour, but were beaten back by the Type 29 tanks on both sides, and at the same time had to divide part of their forces to deal with the wheeled tanks that were killing from behind. The German weasels and weasel tanks did everything they could to keep the tanks safe. The machine guns of both sides roared and roared from a distance of less than 600 meters. Armor-piercing and tracer rounds jump through the air. These dangerous spirits slammed into the opponent's armor plate with death and destruction, leaving shallow and deep bullet holes in it. From time to time, clumps of flames poured out from the front of the hit chariots, accompanied by violent explosions, and these hit chariots were torn apart by a huge energy twist. It only takes a few seconds to decide the life and death of a car crew!

"The confrontation between infantry fighting vehicles is even more intense and bloody than tank confrontation, the ultra-high rate of fire of the machine guns and the relatively fragile protection of infantry fighting vehicles make the probability of the vehicle being destroyed is greater, and when a tank is lucky enough to block a shell, it has at least a few seconds of safety time (provided that there are no other tanks around). But infantry fighting vehicles are different, they are a series of shells with a beating muzzle that forms an oval promenade, and don't rejoice in your luck when you see a cannonball pass you, because chances are you don't even have time to pray, and another cannonball has already pierced your chariot! A German weasel captain recalls with trepidation.

The close-range fight between the two sides can be described as bloody. In just a few dozen minutes, the battlefield was covered with the wreckage of various vehicles. The raging fire continued to scorch the wreckage. Billowing smoke rises from the battlefield. The victor's chariot continued on the road stained with the blood of the opponent, and a mink chariot pushed away the weasel chariot that stood in the way, and the front of the chariot was covered with bullet holes, and even blood was flowing from some of the bullet holes, indicating that the personnel of this chariot had been killed in battle, but it was just a fluke that it did not explode. Having crossed the German blocking line, the Lynx and the remaining mink tanks finally saw the remnants of the German armored forces, which at this moment had been divided by the attacking forces, and it was only a matter of time before they collapsed.

The final battle can be described as completely one-sided, and the remaining German troops were driven into a desperate situation step by step like wolves driven by hunters! THE SLENDER 90MM CANNON IS A SHARP CAVALRY GUN IN THE HANDS OF HUNTERS. The Germans didn't even have a rear, because the wheeled chariots that arrived later had locked their way out, facing a situation where there were heavy guns overhead, tigers in front and wolves in front of them. The commander, Major Wiesen, decided to surrender after sending a final telegram describing the situation he was facing. At this point, the two battalions attacking from the left flank were completely annihilated!

Compared with the Germans attacking from the left flank, the situation of the German army on the right flank was very good, and Huaxia did not seem to have enough troops to launch the same defensive counterattack as the left flank. And Hube, who has been fighting with the main force of the opposing side in the middle, is in a stalemate in a war of attrition. Although there was a steady stream of backup and heavy artillery support, Huaxia still bit the Hubei battle group to the death, and the two sides fought again and again around an invisible front! But fortunately, although the opponent's attack was fierce, it seemed that the aggressiveness was insufficient.

"We don't know anything about the situation on the left flank, and we don't know what the enemy is doing, their intentions and the scale since the Leipzig battle group on the left flank was surrounded and annihilated. This does not bode well, and in the final telegram, Wei Sen repeatedly reminds us that there was a miscalculation of the size of the Huaxia Legion, and that an armored battalion and a full infantry battalion were wiped out cleanly, which is indeed somewhat beyond imagination. If Huaxia wants to achieve this goal, it must have at least 4 battalions of troops. Brauchitsch was also a little undecided, and as the battle continued, the troops were sent to the altar of war in batches. The continuous fighting made the German army on the southern front a little unbearable, especially as the troops pressed forward, the logistics line was stretched, and a large number of hoarded materials were quickly consumed in the front battle, and the replenishment was a little slower. After all this scattered information was gathered, a terrifying scene appeared in Brauchitsch's mind!

"Could it be that the force that Huaxia just killed behind Kruger's enemy line not long ago is not a reserve, but a unit drawn from elsewhere?" Brauchitsch got to the crux of the matter right away. The more he thought about it, the more likely it became, because this army had a high proportion of wheeled combat vehicles. If it were a regular army, the proportion of wheeled combat vehicles would not be so high, and the composition of the Chinese armored forces seemed to the Germans more like a heavy cavalry. These wheeled combat vehicles may come from independent light armored forces, which means that Huaxia seems to have some reserves to deal with its own attack, and even if you think about it from a worse point of view, it is that Huaxia has set a trap waiting for him to drill into it at the moment!

"As long as the strength of the Huaxia reserve and the size of the defenders on the southern front reach two divisions, then it will be difficult for me to break through the opponent's defenses in the offensive. Moreover, the Air Force is already exhausted, and the situation is already very unoptimistic. It's time to make a choice! Brauchitsch said as he looked at the intricate sandbox. From a military point of view, the Germans have pressed a large number of troops, including logistics units, forward, towing heavy artillery, logistics repair shops, field hospitals, command headquarters and various supply units have been pushed forward to varying degrees, and the movement of these units requires a lot of capacity and time. It's a pity that now Huaxia has broken the flank, and God knows when the other party will kill him. From a political point of view, he struggled to persuade the German General Staff to support his plan for a decisive victory on the southern front, and now instead of breaking the deadlock, he has repelled his opponents, which is simply fatal to Brauchitsch's future. When he gave the order to retreat, he was leaving his future to fate.

This distressed question haunted him all night. At dawn the next day, 18 hours after the annihilation of the Left Bloc, Brauchitsch finally decided to retreat with all his troops, for which he made very careful arrangements. "All front-line troops remained in place and continued to resist the attack of the Huaxia Corps, and the non-combat logistics units withdrew first. All heavy artillery units carried out fire suppression on the target, cooperated with the feint attack of the frontal troops to prevent the opponent's possible offensive, and 4 battalions were transferred from the general reserve to plug the gap on the left flank. After the withdrawal of non-combat logistics units, the remaining evacuated units alternately covered the disengagement. At the same time, he also sent a report to the air force, expressing the hope that the air force could cooperate with the army to launch another frontal feint, and then cover the withdrawal of troops. Brauchitsch drew up a detailed plan and decided to implement it immediately.

But unfortunately, his pace was still a beat slower than his opponent, and while he was still weighing the pros and cons, the Huaxia Army had already taken advantage of the gap left by the collapse of the German left flank, and Xu Huaide realized that the collapse of the German army on the left flank would inevitably stimulate Brauchitsch. The German veteran will certainly be able to smell something from the collapse of the left flank! Therefore, he did not hesitate to play all his hole cards, and in more than ten hours, nearly 5 battalions of troops had crossed the front line of the two sides and rushed towards the rear of the German flank! And this is only the first wave, and then 2 more battalions will follow, completing the division and encirclement of the German army!

At the same time, the Air Force also did its best to cooperate with Xu Huaide to fight the last battle! Qin Yue smashed the pot and sold iron, and made up two and a half wings of about 280 planes, all of which were put into the battlefield! At least 40 percent of these planes carry bombs on ground attack missions! "The first target is trucks, and the second target is military stations and transportation hubs! Entangle the other person's backward steps, and you will complete the task. "When the combat mission was issued, the air force pilots were very surprised that their fighter squadrons actually gave priority to bombing missions.

By the time Brauchitsch's order was telegraphed to the various combat units, the first wave of strikes by the Huaxia Air Force had already crossed the German outlying positions and was heading towards the military stations and logistics units. Those combat units with more antiaircraft artillery cover are not yet within the reach of the small-scale ground attack unit of the Huaxia Air Force. Under the cover of 8 Shicha Falcon fighters, 12 Flying Bat bombers carrying 3 rounds of 250KG bombs appeared on the battlefield behind enemy lines, since the end of the last Babylon operation, the Chinese Air Force has not appeared in the rear of the Germans for a long time, and the German post that began to be responsible for air vigilance even thought that their planes were going the wrong way, and constantly sent contact signals to the other side, and when the other party approached, after seeing the Flying Bat fighters with their iconic twin tails and the bombs hanging below, Only then did I sound the alarm in a panic!

At this time, the convoy had not yet set off, rows of Opel trucks were neatly lined up in the parking lot, and the German garrison at the military station was busy refueling and refueling the convoy. Several fuel tankers were scattered in the middle of the convoy, and the large fuel tanks at the back of the cab were so conspicuous! "The Luftwaffe went to sleep, everything went well!" The 4 ISHCHA FALCON FIGHTERS CONTINUED TO STAY ON HIGH ALERT, WHILE THE REMAINING 4 FIGHTERS IMMEDIATELY DIVED DOWN TO SUPPRESS THE ANTI-AIRCRAFT ARTILLERY NEAR THE STATION, WHICH WAS NOT MUCH, BUT ONLY SIX TWIN 20MM MACHINE GUNS.

The roar of the 20mm Sispano cannon and the M2 machine gun fired the first shot in the gap behind enemy lines for the first time in several weeks. Two Sechafala fighters fired two rounds of accurate fire to destroy a gun position, and then 12 bombers rushed in and began to launch air strikes on the station's parking lot, oil depot, barracks and headquarters. The entire group entered the battlefield in a three-plane formation, quickly passing through the air at a distance of 400 meters. The latter two planes carried out a covering strike in full accordance with the command of the lead aircraft, and 9 bombs fell off the pylons in sequence. The round bombs began to disintegrate after falling more than 200 meters, a series of small bombs fell off the body to form a long line, and small bombs weighing up to 5 kg detonated one after another after falling, forming a death zone that stretched for hundreds of meters. High-explosive and incendiary bombs exploded alternately, sending up columns of fire and smoke on the ground. Hundreds of valuable trucks and experienced officers and soldiers were surrounded by flames and smoke in ten minutes.

From time to time, the oil depot area was filled with the sound of shocking explosions and soaring flames. Thousands of barrels of fuel oil were ignited by incendiary bombs, and black smoke from the combustion of diesel and gasoline rose into the sky, and it was even said that the Germans fighting on the front line could see the logistics base in the rear, which had been reduced to a sea of fire. The attack of the Huaxia Air Force was very fast and fierce, like an agile Hai Dongqing, and it had already left several scars on his body before the other party reacted! Soon after the air force launched a counterattack, the armored units that had already arrived on the flanks of the Germans also showed sharp fangs. They began to attack the long German front.

"The offensive and defensive momentum was reversed almost instantaneously, and it is difficult for me to tell what kind of mood I felt when I saw the Chinese armored troops on the ground like wolves from the air, whether it was nervousness, fear, or soberness after confusion. I can't tell. The opponent moves very fast, which may have a lot to do with the fact that they have a large number of wheeled and half-track vehicles. They avoided our thick front, and instead attacked in the flank and rear, and they aimed their first blow at the transport lines and military stations in the rear, and if they succeeded, our rear road would be completely cut off! A Luftwaffe liaison officer described the scene on a reconnaissance plane.

The sudden appearance of the Chinese armored force was like the Mongolian cavalry that had swept the entire Eurasian continent as quickly penetrated the German not thick flank, Brauchitsch's idea was too late to be realized, his 5 reserve battalions were still assembled and prepared, and the Chinese army's war knife had already been cut at the back of the German army! The knife was so sharp that it stabbed a long wound in the rear of the Germans!

Attack telegrams from the rear almost filled Brauchitsch's desk, and the veteran's reaction to the seismic changes was muted, at least on the surface. He threw aside the battle plan he had just sent out this morning. "Don't be nervous, we still have a chance, the opponent's forces are slightly weaker than our army, the number of enemy troops deep into the rear of our army is not very large and the foothold is not stable, we still have a large number of mobile forces to deploy." Under the crisis, Brauchitsch did not respond in a hurry, but gathered the forces in his hands to prevent the other party from dividing and encircling, and he concentrated all the remaining mobile forces together, which can definitely give a heavy blow to the interspersed troops in Huaxia, and the decisive battle is about to start!
