"Months of hard work are over here!" Just when Brauchitsch was preparing to break through, Xu Huaide also received information from the interspersed troops, on the whole, the situation was very good, there will be 7 battalions of troops inserted into the rear of the Germans and establish a defensive line, which is almost a quarter of the strength of China, in the face of the German army bent on breaking through, these forces can only delay the opponent's actions and can not completely lock the opponent, on the one hand, because of the huge disparity in strength, on the other hand, because the battle line is too long, only 7 battalions of troops can not cover everything, You must know that there are only 5 battalions in place in Huaxia now! "Now that the net has been cast, it's up to you to see how many fish you can catch! Although it is too early to squeeze the opponent, the German army on the front line still has strong combat effectiveness, but unfortunately time is running out! Xu Huaide's words were full of regret.

He originally planned to consume a period of time with the opponent before launching a general attack, but this plan was finally vetoed by Peng Yi, Peng Yi handed over all the reserve forces to Xu Huaide is taking a great risk, the three divisions of the northern front are already a little tired, although the action of the hook battle group is very effective, but it also makes the already somewhat weak northern front even more unbearable, after all, the strength of the hook battle group is drawn from these three divisions! Huaxia's deployment can't hide the opponent at all, once the southern front drags on for a long time, the pressure on the northern front in the face of the slowed Kruger group will be very huge, so Peng Yi asked Xu Huaide to race with Kruger and end the battle on the southern front before the German army on the northern front re-offensive!

So in order to take care of the overall situation, Xu Huaide had no choice but to let his southern front make a sandwich meal, and launched a general offensive before Brauchitsch's strength was exhausted by Huaxia's defense line. Now that the layout has been completed, there is only the final net to be closed, and how much can be netted depends on Xu Huaide's own level. "Attack immediately tonight, at any cost! Just when we are fighting the last battle of the entire Iranian war! This time Peng Yi went in front of the opponent again, and before Brauchitsch launched a breakthrough operation on the southern front, Xu Huaide launched an offensive that night! The long-accumulating Huaxia Legion is truly powerful!

For Huaxia, the night is advantageous, they greatly shorten the effective fire attack distance of the opponent, so that the Huaxia infantry can advance to the German defense line only more than 200 meters away from the cover of night, the Germans tried to use searchlights and flares to make their front more safe, but all efforts in the face of Huaxia's Type 29 assault guns and mortars became useless, this kind of power is huge, can be far and near, and the first-class armored protection of the vehicle can be called all-round. With the help of night vision devices, these vehicles approached less than 500 meters from the German position, and when they found that the opponent had a fire point and used flares, a 24KG shell went over and directly blew the fire point and the soldiers inside into pieces. The huge craters and collapsed bunkers illustrate what caliber is justice, and then slowly retreat under the cover of our long-range artillery fire and smoke bombs.

At first, the Germans also planned to use the No. 4 tank to slowly approach the front and wait for the opportunity to sneak attack the Huaxia firepower point, but in the face of the Huaxia outpost with a large number of recoilless guns and rocket launchers, the sneak attack of the No. 4 tank did not go smoothly. And the lack of reliable night vision equipment of the Germans was also a very important key, and many times, the anti-tank teams in China approached to a distance of less than 30 meters from the German tanks and no one found out! This cold-gun engagement lasted for several nights, and eventually the relenting Germans began to shrink their defenses, relying on scattered mines and hastily constructed fortifications to defend against the attack. And this kind of passive defense is what Huaxia needs most. The efforts of the Huaxia night raid troops for several nights are for the general attack tonight!

The attack would begin at dawn, and it would take half a night for the Huaxia troops to enter battle positions. Sappers were the first to clear the small number of minefields deployed by the opposing side at the front, followed by the first wave of attacking infantry, who would lurk 200 or even 150 meters closer to the local positions. They could even hear what was being said, according to a Chinese officer who had participated in the night battle at the time, and the second lieutenant, who was said to be fluent in German, swore to the recruits that less than 150 meters away from him the two Germans were discussing what to eat tomorrow morning.

In order to ensure the smooth attack of the infantry, Huaxia also pulled a large number of Type 29 assault guns and howitzers to the front of the position for direct fire support. After opening the gap, the armored forces will quickly intersperse according to the path opened. Xu Huaide's order to the interspersed troops was not to have the courage to advance in the rear, bite the retreating troops of the other side, and the front-line troops should be handed over to the follow-up troops who followed up. With the passage of time minute by minute, the final judgment of the Huaxia Legion finally arrived, when the time pointed to 5 o'clock in the morning, with the issuance of the attack order and the red signal flare that heralded the beginning of the attack rose into the sky, the decisive battle finally began!

Countless flares rose from the rear of the position, and hundreds of flares equivalent to hundreds of thousands of candles instantly turned the front of the German position into daylight. Subsequently, heavy howitzers deployed in the rear began to provide fire support. The roar of hundreds of large-caliber howitzers shattered the silence of the night sky, and countless dark red points of light shone behind the position. The gunners roared and repeated the command to fire, and as soon as the gun was reset, one gunner opened the bolt and removed the shells inside, and then two other gunners fed the shells and cartridges into the chamber. The firestorm formed by the artillery swept through the entire German position, and rolled to the rear, and the powerful grenades directly destroyed the entire section of the hastily constructed trench, and even many German soldiers were buried forever by the collapsed fortifications before they could wake up from their sleep. However, there were still some Germans who dodged this sudden blow, and when they rushed to the front line under the coercion of the officers, the Huaxia Type 29 assault guns and infantry submachine guns were already on top of their heads!

After the fire strike extended to the rear, the Germans who reacted quickly activated their firepower points, according to the standard routine of offensive warfare, after the firepower preparation, it should be the whole army's pig burst, and the distance between the two sides in the night battle will be closer, so they used all their firepower without reservation to block the opponent who was close at hand, countless machine guns spit tongues of fire, and the barrage intertwined with tracer bullets instantly shrouded the front of the position. The remaining mortars also began to release flares to indicate targets. And at this time, huge figures appeared in front of the Germans in the light of flares! At a distance of less than 500 meters. The Type 29 assault gun's high-explosive shells weighing more than 20 kilograms smashed into the German positions like a heavy hammer! Such a powerful cannonball even wiped out two German firepower points in one shot! Subsequently, the infantry deployed in the front took advantage of the suppression of the opponent's fire and launched a charge with the assault guns. In the face of a network of direct fire from large-caliber artillery, machine guns and submachine guns, the German counterattack was torn apart in an instant like papier-mâché. In just a few tens of minutes, the German defense line was shattered by the impact. Under the lead of combat vehicles, the attacking troops crossed the line of defense and went deep into the rear!

In fact, it is said that the German defense line is not so fragile, and the first line of defense is often to contain and consume the opponent, and it is normal to be breached. But this time it was different, the two sides began to fight an encounter, the two sides did not have time to build a strong enough static defense, and at the last minute, Brauchitsch withdrew the follow-up troops in order to retain as many troops as possible, which made the German front-line forces, which were already not strong, even more stretched. Without depth, without sufficient reserves, without a reliable line of defense to rely on, the German rout was entirely justified. However, the Germans were not unguarded, and the interdicting fire of Brauchitsch's long-range artillery and heavy howitzers left behind caused some trouble for the Chinese.

At the same time as Huaxia launched a frontal attack, the main force assembled by Brauchitsch began to collide with Huaxia's interspersed troops in order to open up the rear road. There is a saying in Europe that don't block the army coming home. The same applies to the current situation, when the Chinese attacked at night, the Germans also launched an attack in the dawn sun, and at this point, the Luftwaffe did not have any reservations, they flew into the battlefield against the attack of the flying fox fighters overhead, and launched an attack at a height that could almost touch the hills, tons of bombs and a large number of machine gun shells fell like rain and turned the ground into a sea of fire!

"The Germans are simply insane!" A Huaxia Sentinel-type self-propelled anti-aircraft gun had just shot down a JU90 bomber that was about to climb after dropping bombs, when it was blown up by an HS129 ground attack aircraft that arrived later at a straight-line distance of less than 500 meters! A 75MM ARMOR-PIERCING SHELL DIRECTLY PIERCED THE ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUN. Without waiting for this HS129 attack aircraft to leave the battlefield, the Shicha Falcon fighter who followed closely behind removed the wings on one side of his side with shells and bullets, and blew the nose of the plane at the moment of pulling it up! At high altitude, the Germans' BF109 fighters did their best to drive out the Huaxia fighter group that came to support, and this time the Germans fought extremely stubbornly. Three fighter squadrons were disabled in just one morning, and the Huaxia Air Force said that after several hours of fighting, it said that it could not play and was forced to temporarily withdraw from the battlefield. At this time, the distance between the two sides was already in Germany's favor, and the nearest German airfield to the battlefield was only 100 kilometers away!

In addition to the 29 type assault guns that accompany the armored forces, the Chinese interspersed troops have no more support firepower, and the Germans from the army level 150MM heavy artillery to the regimental level 105MM howitzer can be said to be readily available, both in quantity and quality have a great advantage, plus Brauchitsch finally saved 10 battalions of elite troops, originally he thought that it would not take too long to break through this line of defense, But in fact, the battle turned out to be one of the bloodiest battles in Iran!

"Rush up, their strongest troops are on the front line, penetrate them, and attack the baggage and support units behind" What the Germans never imagined was that the Chinese troops interspersed behind the enemy actually took the initiative to attack in the case of weak troops, in the face of the surging Chinese armored group, the Germans were unprepared both mentally and materially, they originally thought that the opponent would defend layer by layer in exchange for space for time, for which the Germans prepared enough artillery to break the Chinese defense line, according to the words of a German ** officer, They will use a dense rain of bullets to kill the opponent little by little, but who knows that after realizing that the air superiority is not guaranteed, Tian Yong decisively led the team to launch a counter-charge. "Only by entanglement and scuffling with the other side can the Germans' firepower advantage be weakened, otherwise in the absence of strong fortifications, it is a dead end to fight a positional war with the other side!" Tian Yong likes to play steadily, but when the situation is extremely unfavorable and he needs to make a decision immediately, he can also make up his mind!

So in the surprised and surprised eyes of the Germans, hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles of various kinds launched a counter-charge, and the armored battalions and mechanized infantry battalions of the Germans had just arrived at the attack position, and the enemy troops in the distance had already rushed over before they had lined up the attack formation! Even the interdiction fire of howitzers and the bombing of the air force could not stop the attack of the opposing side! Before the Huaxia armored forces exchanged fire with the Germans, Tian Yong ordered all the rocket artillery to shoot all the shells at the German assembly area!

Countless rockets dragged their trails like comet tails to the German assembly points on the front line, and in an instant, countless columns of smoke and explosions exploded in the German tank group, many German officers and soldiers who were preparing their combat vehicles and making the final preparations before the attack were directly blown to pieces in this short but fierce artillery bombardment, and in the shouts of the officers and the hoarse shouts of the soldiers, the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles that were still capable of fighting drove out of the wreckage and ruins, and then prepared to resist the attack of the other side under the command of the officers.

In order to increase the intensity of the fire of the attacking troops, the Germans proudly transferred some self-propelled guns and mortars that originally belonged to the regimental and divisional level to the battalions, which made the already large units even more cystic, and the commander had to rearrange the troops. And this gave Huaxia time, and what was even more deadly was that these self-propelled guns were crispy, and many of them were convertibles. Not to mention the fact that all sorts of destroyed trucks blocked the road, so much so that quite a few tanks improvised a bulldozer to push these obstructive things away!

And when the Germans hastily packed up a combatable army, the Huaxia armored forces that appeared from the horizon in the distance pressed linearly, and in the telescope the Germans could see all the current vehicles in Huaxia, even the Type 29 assault guns and tank destroyers that were originally in the back of the line were also pressed on the front line, which shocked the Germans.
