In the city of Priluki, the headquarters of the Twenty-Fourth Armored Army.

Schwepenburg looked at his watch, and it was almost twelve o'clock in the evening.

"Ask again, where is the Fourth Armored Division?"

About twenty minutes later, the communications consultant brought the news back.

"The 4th Armored Division has turned south in Srebin."

Schwepenburg looked at the map and found Serbin.

Serbin is located at the middle of the Romne and Priluki Highway.

According to Rommel's plan, the third armored division set out in Romne and headed south to Ruble by the highway.

The Fourth Armored Division first marched westward, then turned through Serbin, and headed south through several countryside dirt roads.

The 10th Marx Division took the final action, and waited for the Fourth Armored Division to set off after Srebin turned, and headed south side by side with the Fourth Armored Division.

This is because the Soviet infantry coming from the south are approaching the Priluki line. If the 10th Infantry Division goes south to the ruble, it must first defeat the Soviet army coming from the south.

The 10th Infantry Division had far less attack power than the armored division, so Rommel sent the Fourth Armored Division to cooperate in the south to fight for a shorter time to defeat the Soviet army in the south.

It was confirmed that the Fourth Armored Division had turned south, Schwepenburg issued an order and the troops set off.

Although Soviet troops were surveillance in the west, no armored troops were found. Schwepenburg firmly believed that as long as he could quickly defeat the Soviet troops in the south, the Soviet troops in the west would not be able to catch up with him.

With the order from Schwepenburg, the engine sound around Priluki instantly increased by several levels.

Unlike Schwepenburg, on the road leading to Romne from Romne, the Third Armored Division all left Romne and marched on the road leading to Romne.

When the entire division was invaded, it did not go south directly, but instead took the battalion and company as a unit, first drove a distance west, then turned south through the country road, and then turned back to the road leading to the ruble.

Rommel firmly believed that when the Russians found themselves disappearing into Romne, they had successfully occupied the ruble.

By that time, it would be too late even if the enemy chased into the ruble.

His own troops are in the hinterland of the enemy, and the defenses of each town are empty. The most important thing to pay attention to is the grassland front that came from the east.

Rommel not only felt strange when he thought of the telegram that came out of the wolf's den and was sent to his hands all the way.

I thought the wolf cave would stop my actions and force myself to act according to the plan of the wolf cave, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth.

In the direction of Konoto in the north, the original rescue troops will still launch an attack to attract some of the Soviet troops.

In the south, the 11th Army would launch an attack on the other side of the Dnieper River to attract the attention of the Soviet army on the Dnieper River defense line.

At the same time, in the Cherkass area, the Imperial Marshal Armored Division, under the 11th Army, will also serve as the first group of troops crossing the river, cooperate with the 24th Armored Army to attack forward and backward, breaking through the Dnieper River defense line in one fell swoop.

He and the Twenty-four Armored Army accidentally collided and actually ran to the territory of the Imperial Marshal's Armored Division.

I am really destined to be with that brother-in-law.

While thinking about it, Rommel felt his eyelids getting heavier and he held on for five or six minutes, but in the end he could not survive the attack of the Sandman.

After a while, Rommel suddenly woke up from his sleep.

"Where is this place? Where is the battle?" Rommel asked.

Adjutant Helmut said: "We are now in the west of Chervonoza, and in the south of Lochvica, the Third Armored Division is fighting. We need to wait here for a while before we can move forward."

Rommel pricked his ears and listened quietly for more than ten seconds, then said, "The enemy's firepower is not strong, and the battle will not last too long."

After waiting for a few minutes, Rommel suddenly said, "I remember the road in Chervonoza is a three-way intersection. You go and ask... No, I'll go in person."

In a private house southwest of Cervonoza, Rommel found the Third Armored Division.

"The road in Cervonoza is a three-way intersection leading to three directions, north and south, and east. Are our reconnaissance troops on the road to the east?"

"There is a company of infantry," said Model.

"There are people to be sent to the north, and there are two sides to send tanks or tank destroyers. The sound of the battle will be particularly far away at night, and I am afraid of attracting the Russians. Also, whenever the troops rest, they must conduct reconnaissance. Send some scouts out to patrol the east and north."

Although he thought Rommel was a bit too cautious, he thought of being behind enemy lines, Moder simply nodded in agreement.

"The reconnaissance battalion will set out soon."

Just as the two were talking, on the east side of the city of Cervonoza, the road leading to Hajīchi.

The company commander of the 9th Company of the Third Battalion of the Third Motorized Infantry Regiment, played by Jugen von Heinrich (reader "cr [rejecting group]"

) Captain, staring at the highway to the east, raised the telescope in his chest anxiously.

A flashing light appeared on the road in the distance, and a convoy was heading towards Cervonoza, and the flashing lights came from the headlights of the car.

After running behind him next to the armored vehicle parked by the roadside, Captain Heinrich explained a few words to the radio, and then ran to the roadside.

At this time, the troops of the Ninth Company had already been scattered and hidden behind the grass on the road and the houses, and Captain Heinrich also hid behind a big tree.

The convoy in the distance rushed all the way toward Chervonoza.

It should be motorcycles, tanks and armored vehicles. As the convoy got closer, Captain Heinrich judged the type of vehicle in the convoy.

Looking at the telescope again, Heinrich saw that the three-wheeled sideboard motorcycle was vaguely driven in front.

Just as Captain Heinrich was about to take a pleasant ambush, the convoy suddenly stopped.

The driver jumped off the motorcycle, stood on the motorcycle stand, and looked towards the direction of the southwest Lochvica with a telescope.

Lochvica and Cervonoza are only ten kilometers away, and the flames emitted from the explosion can be seen from here.

The Soviet army on the motorcycle turned to look in Captain Heinrich's direction, obviously having some doubts about the city of Chervonoza.

Heinrich was hesitating whether to open the fire when he suddenly saw the Soviet army jumping off the motorcycle in the distance, and the headlights of the entire convoy were quickly turned off.

Heinrich suddenly turned around and looked at the road behind him. He saw a huge group of figures approaching in the distance. He heard the sound of metal friction in his ears. It was the tank troops who came to reinforce after receiving the alarm.

"We are exposed, the machine guns fire and kill them first." Heinrich shouted.

News of the discovery of the Soviet army on the east highway of Chengdong instantly reached the Third Armored Division headquarters.

After thinking for a few seconds, Rommel decisively said to Model: "After occupying Lochvica, you will lead the main force of the division to continue in the ruble and leave me a battle group. I will stay here and cut off the rear for you."
