The God of War could not stop the arrival of the God of Night. The night covered the sky, and the war on the west bank of the Dnieper River gradually subsided.

Scattered sounds of gunfires and sparkling gunfires tear apart the night, dotted on the dark earth.

With the help of the cover of night, the troops of the 60th Motorized Infantry Division quietly withdrew from the position on both sides of the road and steadily retreated to the westward city of Kirovgrad.

After retreating to Edzaka Town in the east of Kirovgrad City, the 60th Mofan Division relied on the town to rebuild its defensive positions in the town and outside the town.

With the retreat of the 60th Mofan Division, the division was connected to the position of the 21st Armored Division on the left wing.

Under the night, the troops of both sides were raising their strength and preparing for the second round of fighting after dawn.

That night, the 39th Tank Division, a subordinate of the 16th Mechanized Army, entered Kaduha Town overnight.

Twelve kilometers northwest of Kaduha Town, outside the town of Brov on the Ingulets River, another army also rushed towards Kaduha Town with the help of night cover.

Unlike the unobstructed unobstructed tank division, this unit had to break through the Soviet defense line of Brov Town.

Lieutenant Steiner, platoon leader of the first and second platoons of the Reconnaissance Battalion of the Imperial Marshal of the German Air Force.

Following two messengers, Lieutenant Steiner quietly touched a forest in the north of the town and met with the row that had arrived first.

At the edge of the woods, with the help of the starlight, Lieutenant Steiner's telescope could clearly see that there were two human-shaped black shadows wandering on the road at the entrance of Brove Town.

Seeing the two dark shadows, Lieutenant Steiner knew that the tourism-style marching of himself and his subordinates had come to an end and the battle life of artillery fire began again.

After seeing the terrain, Lieutenant Steiner retreated to the woods.

Soon, Lieutenant Steiner received an order from the battalion to attack Brov town at night.

Armored vehicles and tanks that would make huge noise were left behind, and the scouts all approached Brov town on foot.

The 75mm infantry gun and the Pak40 anti-tank gun were also pushed to the front line, and the black hole muzzle pointed at the town of Brov.

After everything was ready, hundreds of figures stepped out of their hiding place and quietly touched Brov Town.

The second platoon commanded by Lieutenant Steiner, the front of the attack happened to be directly north of Brove Town.

In the wilderness on the west side of the highway, Lieutenant Steiner first bent over and approached the entrance of the town step by step with the help of night and shrubs, and then changed to crawling forward.

Until about a hundred meters away from the two sentries at the entrance of the town, Lieutenant Steiner and his subordinates stopped.

Only four scouts continued to touch the entrance of the town.

Lying in the darkness, Lieutenant Steiner stared at two shadows in the distance in the telescope.

After waiting patiently for some time, Lieutenant Steiner clearly saw two figures suddenly rushing out from behind the two Soviet sentries.

The figure on the left rushed behind a Soviet sentry, wrapped his hands around the sentry's head and neck.

Even if I couldn't see clearly, Lieutenant Steiner knew that the Soviet sentry's throat had been cut by a bayonet at this time.

The Soviet sentry fell softly into the scout's arms as Lieutenant Steiner had expected, and his legs were scattered and soft on the ground, stopping his struggle.

Behind another Soviet sentry, a black shadow pounced forward suddenly, putting his hands around the sentry's knees, and the sentry fell to the ground with a standard dog-eating movement.

Before the sentry could shout, the black shadow jumped over to the sentry's waist, stretched out his hands, hugged the sentry's head and chin, and twisted the sentry's neck with a click.

The sentry's shout instantly turned into an unconscious dying moan...

The two sentries were killed, and two black shadows rushed out from both sides of the highway. Four black shadows were in groups and dragged the two bodies into the darkness.

Seeing that the sneak attack was successful, Lieutenant Steiner pouted and made a few crisp bird calls.

In the night, the soldiers of Steiner platoon jumped up, bent over, and trotted towards Brove Town.

Lieutenant Steiner squatted and glanced at the battlefield left and right. Seeing that his subordinates had all launched a charge, he was about to get up and launch the charge.

A gunshot broke the tranquility of the battlefield with a "bang".

Lieutenant Steiner's sharp eyes turned toward the direction of eleven o'clock, and a muzzle of fireworks flashed in the night.

The most annoying thing happened. There must be a secret whistle arranged by the Russians, otherwise the reaction would not have been so fast.

The fire of the secret whistle means the failure of the night attack, and the Soviet army in Brov Town can only be changed to a strong attack.

During the moment of thinking, Lieutenant Steiner thought, a fire flashed again at 11 o'clock, and the crisp gunshots also sounded.

Without hesitation, Lieutenant Steiner raised the stg42 assault rifle in his hand, shot two three-point shots at the position where the flames were shining, and then ran and rushed towards Brove Town.

When Lieutenant Steiner rushed through the wilderness and approached a farmhouse next to the town, the entire town of Brove had woken up from his sleep.

**Sha submachine gun, Mosinna dry rifle, Teggalev light machine gun... Well, there are grenades.

As a veteran, Lieutenant Steiner easily identified different gunfires.

With two messengers, Lieutenant Steiner followed a squad and walked through the town's buildings.

At this time, the darkest moment of the night had passed, but the visibility was still very poor. The warring parties could only rely on their general outlines and the position of the gully flames at the gully of the fire.

After the front line advanced about one hundred meters into the town, Lieutenant Steiner saw that the battle situation was in a stalemate.

The German army had the advantage of the raid, but the Soviet army had the inherent advantage of having houses as defensive positions.

After the initial panic, the Soviet army in the town gradually stabilized the situation.

"Let's go, there." Lieutenant Steiner pointed to a steeple on both sides of the building surrounded by poplar trees on the front right.

In the window facing the north, dazzling fires flashed out from the steeple room.

The Soviet army hiding in the spire roof opened fire with machine guns at the German army outside, but did not know that the buildings around him had been occupied by the German army, and their house became an isolated island half surrounded by the German army.

After seeing a mg42 machine gun pointing to the window and successfully suppressing the Soviet firepower in the house, Lieutenant Steiner easily walked around the front door of the spire-roofed room.

After tentatively testing, the door was indeed locked from the inside. Lieutenant Steiner pulled out a grenade on his waist, unscrewed the cover of the safety, pulled the lead, and then waved his head at a messenger.

The messenger trotted, then jumped up and kicked the middle and lower part of the door with both feet.

The door was hit hard, and opened with a "bang" sound, and the messenger's body immediately fell to the ground.

The moment he landed, a string of gunfire sounded from the door, dense bullets flew out and flew past the messenger lying on the ground.

The messenger rolled sideways and rolled behind the wall next to the door, and was filled with cold sweat.

Carrying the grenade that was pulled on fire, Lieutenant Steiner silently counted "one, two, three..." in his mind.

After counting three numbers, the long-handled grenade flew into the house with a row of white smoke and was hitting the roof.

"ah······"

After the grenade exploded in the air, a shrill scream came from the house.

Lieutenant Steiner took the lead in rushing into the house. After a series of gunfire and shouts, the steeple changed to the owner.

As time goes by, the front line moves step by step towards the south of the town, and visibility increases minute by minute.

As the front advanced to the Ingulets River, Lieutenant Steiner and his men had to stop moving forward.

The reason for stopping was not because of the Inguretz River. In his opinion, this river as wide as a belt did not constitute a threat at all. The Soviet army across the river was really blocking their footsteps.

In addition to the figures of Soviet infantry, there are also shadows of Ba-10 armored vehicles in the buildings and bushes across the river.

Because the open land on both sides of the Guletz River is more than 200 meters in total, Lieutenant Steiner did not want to rush through this distance of more than 200 meters with the firepower of the Soviet army.

Without letting the scouts wait, the gunners advanced to the front line with infantry artillery and anti-tank guns, pointing the muzzle to the opposite shore.

Waiting for the break of the attack whistle, Lieutenant Steiner seized the time to smoke a cigarette to relieve the pressure in his heart.

While hiding in a broken house, Steiner suddenly walked to the window and looked up at the window.

In the sky in the north, two fi-282 helicopters were added.

He sucked two cigarettes from his mouth and spitted it onto the ground "pop". Lieutenant Steiner shouted to the messenger beside him: "Prepare."

Almost at the same time, the whistling of artillery shells came from the sky, and the south bank of the Guretz River suddenly fell into the sea of ​​fire.

Amid the beeping whistle, accompanied by a squeaking metal friction, the bobcat reconnaissance tank that had already entered the town was the first to leave the hidden place and rushed towards the river.

Carrying an assault rifle, Lieutenant Steiner rushed behind a bobcat reconnaissance tank that had passed by the street next to him.

Behind them, infantry artillery and anti-tank artillery also roared, using precise direct aiming firepower to destroy the exposed fire points of the Soviet army on the opposite side one by one.

The steel body of the Bobcat tank blocked the bullets fired by the Soviet army opposite.

Listening to the jingle of bullets hitting the tanks, Lieutenant Steiner rushed straight to the river. Just as he was about to cross the river, a mortar shell fell from the sky.

Amid the explosion, Lieutenant Steiner saw the messenger on his right hand shivered suddenly, and his body stiffened for a second, and then fell softly to the ground.

"Sanitation Soldier..." Lieutenant Steiner shouted loudly.

After handing the wounded to the health squad, Lieutenant Steiner continued on the road to charge.

With the support of artillery tanks, the scouts successfully rushed through the last 100 meters and then fell into another round of street fighting.

The visibility has been improved. The Bobcat tank, accompanied by the scouts, wandered in the town and destroyed the firepower points exposed by the Soviet army one by one. The efficiency of the battle situation has far exceeded the previous battle in the darkness of the town.

Lieutenant Steiner wandered on the battlefield with the only remaining messenger, urging the soldiers in the platoon not to stop.

He was about to cross a street with the messenger, and a string of bullets flew over, and the two scouts walking in front of them fell in a pool of blood.

Steiner shuddered and retracted back to the corner of the house wall.

From the messenger, Lieutenant Steiner reached out and through the rearview mirror, he saw the direction of the bullets flying in. On a second floor of a quarter of the building destroyed by shells, there were Soviet troops shooting outwards.

Steiner glanced at the two bodies on the street and cursed, "Damn it, there was no one there just now."
To be continued...
