The reconnaissance units of the 12th Tank Division were ambushed, and the remaining troops hid in the dark light on the north bank of the Sula River and did not show up until dawn.

As the sky on the east turned white, a violent shelling suddenly landed on the southern bank of Sula River.

The raindrop-like shells roared and fell, and the earth was trembling, swaying, and undulating.

The tall trees were uprooted and thrown into the air.

The branches and leaves of hot shrapnel were cut off, flying in all directions and then crackling towards the ground.

After the shelling, the road leading to Lochvica by the river was soon wounded. The less injured people supported each other and staggered towards the armored vehicles on the edge of the woods. The seriously injured were carried or placed on a stretcher. The armored vehicles were carried on the rain-proof silk cloth. The armored vehicles immediately started and drove towards Lochvica.

Perhaps because of the civilians in Lochvica, the Soviet bombardment did not visit the city.

Rommel stood at the intersection in the south of the city and looked at the sky.

Two fi-167 white stork reconnaissance aircraft slowly approached from the sky north of Lochvica.

Rommel waved to Helmut behind him, and Helmut and a messenger raised his arms.

Two white signal flares flew side by side to the sky. In the German signal flare language, white means we are here.

After confirming the location of Lochvica, two white stork reconnaissance aircraft made a circle, seemingly paying tribute to Rommel, and then turned around and flew north.

Guided by two white stork reconnaissance aircraft, black dots appeared in the northern sky.

The clever me-109 took the lead in entering the battlefield and rushed towards the Soviet fighter jets that arrived at the battlefield first.

The me-110 that followed rushed to the ground and rushed towards the marching convoy.

The highway connecting Romne and Lokhvica is not the only road connecting the two cities, but it is the most important one.

The Second Mechanized Army and the Eighth Mechanized Army rushed towards Lochvica frantically. The long convoy filled the road and gave the me-110 aircraft group a feast. The d-2 Demon Egg Bombs landed on the ground like a wasp swarm, and tens of thousands of shrapnel caused a bloody storm in the convoy.

The infantry marching in the Gas Trucks were killed in pieces by shrapnel scattered from the air explosion, beside the truck.

The soldier who escaped the shrapnel baptism by luck found that the ground around him was lying on the ground with a bomb with bat-shaped wings.

After throwing the Demon's Egg, the me-110 squadron dived down and used guns to sweep the soft targets on the road.

The Gastruks used by infantry and artillery once again became the biggest victim of air strikes.

The me-110 avoided targets such as tanks and armored vehicles and attacked the fragile Gas Trucks. Wherever guns and shells swept through, Gas Trucks, with spider-web-like cracks and bullet holes on the fragile windshield, rolling black smoke drilled out of the hood, and the drivers' blood stained the cockpit red.

Sixteen me-110s raged on the battlefield, paying the price of two being shot down and two being injured, seriously delaying the Soviet army's itinerary.

However, the most serious thing is that the large amount of losses of Gas Trucks, and a large number of motorized infantry have become pure infantry.

The artillery soldiers also stared at the wreckage behind the truck, and the cannons were staggering.

The m-30 122 howitzer weighs two tons, and the 152 howitzer is heavier. Do you have to push them away and turn these big guys into "full automatic" howitzers?

After a rush to rescue, the infantry hurriedly jumped onto the tank and stayed away from the scene of the murder.

The artillery soldiers were terrified to wait for the arrival of new trucks.

However, not long after, they had to be on guard against the demon eggs on the ground that were equipped with delayed fuses and could explode at any time, but also on a new round of air strikes.

Goring was a hot-minded person and joined forces with Hitler to develop a central flowering tactic, which led to a grassland front.

In order to avoid someone coming back to cause trouble for him, Gorein issued an order to the Second Air Force, supporting Rommel at all costs and allocating reserves from the country to strengthen the Second Air Force.

The Second Air Force has learned that in the next few days, Rommel will lead his troops to break through, and it will also be a critical moment for breaking through the Dnieper River defense line. As soon as the sky is dawn, under Rommel's guidance, he will launch a series of air strikes without interruption regardless of casualties.

Even in Lochvica, Rommel could see the heroic posture of the German fighter jets diving during air strikes.

Back at the temporary command center in the city of Lochvica, Rommel had just looked at the map and a communications officer walked up to him.

"Report that the bridge in Irest village has been blown up."

Rommel nodded in praise, proud of the efficiency of the engineers.

The Sula River suddenly turned northeast of Lochvica and changed to a north-south flow. After investigation, a river-crossing bridge was found in the village of Irest, southeast of Lochvica.

Rommel made a quick decision and ordered the bridge to be blown up and sent scouts to patrol to avoid being encircled by the Soviet army.

Hearing the news that the engineers successfully bombed the bridge, Rommel immediately turned his gaze to the northwest, the direction that was most likely to be attacked by the Soviet army. There was a dirt road there for the Soviet army to cross the Sula River in a far north.

To the south of Lochvicha, the 10th Infantry Division, the 4th Armored Division and the 3rd Armored Division are advancing into the ruble. If the attack on the ruble is not smooth, the blocking battle of Lochvicha will inevitably start a decisive battle in the northwest direction.

Although the Russians are a little bit slower than the British, they are not fools and will not silly rush to the insurmountable Sura River defense line in the north.

After Rommel counted the troops, he suddenly remembered the battle between the Third Armored Division and the 16th Tank Division.

Rolling his eyes, Rommel crawled with his usual sly smile...

In the village of Isni, five kilometers northwest of Lochvica, Captain Jugen von Heinrich, walked quickly towards the entrance of the village to the north.

A BMW heavy motorcycle and a VW82 bucket truck rushed to the village one after another.

"In the north, the Russians' large army has crossed the Sura River and is approaching us."

"How many people? How many tanks?" Captain Heinrich shouted.

"There are countless tanks, and infantry mounted on the tanks."

A team of Ba-10 armored vehicles first appeared in Captain Heinrich's eyes. Then, under the ambush of the Pak40 anti-tank gun, he threw down four wreckage and fled in a panic.

In less than a cigarette, Captain Heinrich saw that black smoke was rising from the ground in the distance.

As a veteran, Heinrich knew that this was the black smoke emitted by a large number of diesel engines, and there were obviously a large number of tanks approaching.

Looking at the No. 4 tank destroyer hiding on the north side of the village, squatting beside the bushes and houses, and looking at the four big guys squatting in the village, Captain Heinrich felt unprecedented admiration.

General Rommel was really understanding and actually sent reinforcements to arrive in advance.

With these nine No. 4 tank destroyers and those four big guys, their company can withstand a regiment of Russians.

Mortar shells fell into the village of Isni, and Captain Heinrich's subordinates also fought back with mortars.

The pak40 anti-tank gun and the No. 4 tank destroyer followed the battle and ruthlessly hunted the charge of Soviet tanks.

As the earth shook, four huge figures appeared. Four Grizzly assault guns hid on the east and west sides of the village, using the No. 4 tank destroyer fighting in front as cover, turning the muzzle of the 150mm howitzer to the battlefield.

The two grizzlies on the west face northeast, and the two in the east face northwest. One standard crossfire is also a replica of the kv-2's tactic of using comrades as the flesh shield.

With direct aiming and shooting, the 150mm high-explosive bomb leads the battlefield.

Under the cross design, high-explosive bombs were fired at the exposed sides of Soviet tanks, and each round of shells could create a storm of flames near the tanks.

The shrapnel ruthlessly cut the bodies of the Soviet infantry behind the tank. Each 150mm high-explosive bomb could allow groups of Soviet infantry to fly everywhere.

At the call of Captain Heinrich, when the 150mm self-propelled howitzer in the rear turned around and joined the battle in the village of Isni, it became the last straw that broke the Soviet army.

Looking at the fleeing Soviet army, Captain Heinrich looked at his watch and the battle lasted less than thirty minutes.

At least one battalion of T-34 tanks were destroyed, and the wilderness north of Isni Village was full of tank wreckage and dead bodies.

"I'm so lucky to not encounter kv-2."

Captain Heinrich immediately reported the results of the battle.

"The first round of combat lost only one anti-tank gun, two No. 4 tank destroyers were slightly injured, and less than twenty infantry casualties were killed or killed. Destroying 30 enemy tanks can be said to be a great victory."

The battle lasted all day, and Rommel was in the middle to control the front line of Lochvica until 4:20 pm, when a news that excited him came.

"General Schwepenburg said that the Twenty-Fourth Armored Army occupied Rubre and is currently expanding the occupied area to the surrounding area as planned. He asked us to meet in Rubre."

"Let General Model send troops to pick up a large number of wounded people here and wait until dark before leaving." (To be continued.)
