The city of Rossohi is located in part of the southern bank of the Kalitva River, in the southeast corner of the city, in an inconspicuous house.

Major General Schumacher, the commander of the Armored Division of the "Marshal of the Empire", had moved his division headquarters here last night.

At this time, in the division headquarters of the "Imperial Marshal" armored division, all the staff officers were busy in a group.

Starting from nearly eight o'clock this morning, the armored division of the "Imperial Marshal" and the surrounding friendly and neighboring troops were successively attacked by fierce enemies.

The staff marked the locations where the troops were attacked on the map one by one to allow Major General Schumacher to clarify the situation on the battlefield.

On the front line of the Kalitva River, to the town of Olihovatka in the west, to the city of Rossoci in the east, and to the front of thirty kilometers wide, the Russians launched an attack on the entire line.

Immediately afterwards, the Second Armored Grenadier Regiment, the "Marshal of the Empire" who served as a reserve team, issued a warning.

A Russian armored unit successfully bypassed the defense line of the "Imperial Marshal" armored division from the west of Olihovatka town and was launching an attack in the southeast direction. He wanted to detour his defense line, but was intercepted by the "Imperial Marshal" Second Armored Grenadier Regiment, and fierce battle broke out between the two sides.

To the east and southeast, the first Jewish Infantry Division also sent a telegram, a large number of Russian armored troops were coming from the east to Boguchar and approaching their defense line.

He was not very trustworthy about the combat effectiveness of the first Infantry Division of the Honorary Jews. Major General Schumacher forwarded the telegram to the 1st Armored Grenadier Regiment of the "Marshal of the Empire" to the east, so that they could pay attention to the defense line of the division. If the First Infantry Division of the Honorary Jews could not hold on, reinforcements would be made at any time.

As the main force of the entire division, the "Marshal of the Empire" armored regiment gathered and stood on standby in the south of Rossoci City.

After carefully analyzing the situation on the battlefield, Major General Schumacher secretly felt fortunate.

Yesterday during the day, when the troops were resting, he sent reconnaissance troops in the air and on the ground to conduct key reconnaissance on the north and east sides.

The reconnaissance in the north was that a large number of Russian infantry and armored troops were heading south. This was the news he already knew, and now it was only confirmed again.

The reconnaissance results on the east surprised him. The air force's reconnaissance planes found that a large army was riding in military trains, trucks and armored vehicles, crossing the Don River in a small riverside town called Shangmamon to the east and entering the Boguchar area.

The report sent by the reconnaissance battalion directly overturned Major Schumacher's original combat plan.

They discovered the fortification on the way to the city of Boguccal, and this amazing discovery caught Major Schumacher off guard.

The frontal attack on the reinforced concrete fortifications in the fortification area is very difficult for the Imperial Marshal Armor Division.

What's more, I have no idea about the coverage of the fortification area, defense depth and firepower configuration.

After careful consideration, Major General Schumacher decided to temporarily give up his plan to launch an attack to the east and gain a further understanding of the situation on the battlefield, especially after mastering more detailed information on the fortification area in the east, and then taking further action.

In order to prevent possible attacks from the enemy, Major General Schumacher divided the troops of the "Marshal of the Imperial Empire" armored division into three parts.

The First Armored Grenadier Regiment of the "Marshal of the Empire" is located to the east and serves as the reserve force for the eastern defense line.

The Second Armored Grenadier Regiment of the "Marshal of the Empire" is located west of the battlefield, on standby in the south of the town of Olihovatka, acting as a reserve for the western defense line.

He personally led the "Imperial Marshal" armored regiment, self-propelled artillery regiment, as well as the division's direct troops to operate on standby operation in the south of Rossoci City.

Now, after nearly a morning of investigation, Major General Schumacher felt that he had basically figured out the enemy's combat intentions.

One unit attacked from the north, restraining its troops on the Kalitva River defense line, one armored unit bypassed the defense line from the west, and another larger armored unit attacked from the east in a clamp shape, trying to encircle its troops on the front line of Rossoci City.

Russians have a big appetite, but you are thinking too much.

The German armored troops are best at encircling the enemy's heavy army groups with clamp attacks, so they naturally know how to crack this combat method.

If the opponent wants to play a clamp attack, he will break one of his clamp heads first and see whose clamps are harder?

After thinking for a moment, Major General Schumacher turned his attention to the west of the battlefield, the enemy who had bypassed his defense from the west.

It's you, since you're here, don't think about going back.

As Major General Schumacher made the decision, the "Marshal of the Imperial" armored regiment immediately received an order to deport to the south of Rossoci City.

Because the First Armored Battalion was divided into two halves, two of the tank companies were strengthened to the paratroopers who were fighting defensive battles in Rossoci City, the battalion headquarters and the other two companies rushed to the west to assist the Second Armored Grenadier Regiment of the "Marty of the Empire" to the Armored Regiment. Only one tank battalion can be used.

A tank company was left as a reserve force, and all the armored regiments of the "Marshal of the Empire" were dispatched.

At the forefront of the entire regiment was the First Armored Grenadier Battalion led by Major Hans von Prince (played by "Hans von Prince".

The "Wolf" infantry fighting vehicle rolled west along the southern bank of the Kalitva River, heading straight to the town of Olihovatka, and crossed the Kalitva River in the village of Shaboshnikovka, about eight kilometers southeast of the town.

Major Prince was deeply moved when the "Wolf" infantry fighting vehicle drove across the bridge.

Early yesterday morning, before dawn, I also led my troops to cross the Kalitva River from here and raided the city of Rossoci in the night. Along the way, I also watched a group of "Black Panthers" tanks rushing into the airport and "eating chickens" wildly.

Unfortunately, I was not very lucky. I didn't know that Marshal Timuxin's command was hidden in the city of Rossoxi, so I let him escape successfully. His troops only killed the Lieutenant General and Chief of Staff and captured more than 20 staff officers.

Today, I revisited my old place, and I don’t know what unexpected gains I can get.

The Black Panther tanks and "Wolf"-style infantry fighting vehicles of the "Imperial Marshal" armored regiment revisited the old place, and once again passed through the bridge and ferry of Shaboshnikovka village, and entered the north bank of the Kalitva River.

The village of Shaposhnikovka is on the north bank of the Kalitva River and is being attacked by small Soviet troops.

The e-40 "Black Panther" tank and "Wolf" infantry fighting vehicle suddenly rushed out of the village and instantly defeated the weak Soviet army outside the village. The German paratroopers in the village took the opportunity to rush out of the village and launched a counterattack behind the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles.

After chasing the enemy northeast, chasing about two kilometers away, completely crushing the remnants of the enemy troops of about a battalion, leaving behind corpses and captives along the way, the "Imperial Marshal" armored regiment suddenly turned around and turned to the west.

Eight kilometers northwest, north of Olihovatka town, the battle was in full swing.

The dexterous T-34 tank rushed in the front, the bulky KV-85 heavy tank followed behind, and the infantry followed at the back, from northwest to northeast, siege the town in a fan shape on the part of the north side of the Kalitva River.

The paratroopers in the town were strengthened by 12 Flak36 88mm anti-aircraft guns from the air defense battalion of the "Imperial Marshal" Armored Division, and were also supported by a No. 4 tank company.

The paratrooper-specific pak38 50mm anti-tank gun, iron fist and tank killer anti-tank rocket launcher, combined with the tall 88mm anti-tank gun, and the No. 4 H-type tank that roams at the edge of the town, together form an anti-tank firepower network, and tenaciously block the enemy tanks outside the town.

The 88mm anti-aircraft gun is the first to fire, killing the enemy's tanks at a distance of 500 meters to 1,000 meters.

The No. 4 H-type tank has weak armor-piercing capabilities, and most of the muzzles are aimed at enemy tanks that are rushing within 500 meters.

Most of the pak38 50mm anti-tank guns use side fire to fire at the exposed flanks of enemy tanks or walking devices.

Some T-34 tanks passing through the anti-tank firepower network will be attacked by paratroopers at close range.

Outside the town, T-34 tanks and KV-85 heavy tanks were everywhere.

On the edge of the town, the destroyed H-type tank burned wildly, and the gunners were killed and injured on the destroyed 88mm anti-aircraft gun position.

From time to time, Il-2 attack aircraft rushed to the ground and threw aviation bombs and rockets into the town.

The Luftwaffe's "Stuka" dive bomber also let out a shrill scream, hitting the bomb on the heads of the Soviet army outside the town.

The timely appearance of the "Marshal of the Empire" armored regiment broke the deadlock on the battlefield outside the town.

With a beautiful right hook, the "Imperial Marshal" armored regiment hit the exposed left (east) wing of the Soviet army outside the town.

The e-40 Black Panther tank roared, and shot armor-piercing projectiles at the exposed left body of the enemy tank, and chiseled round bullet holes on the enemy's body.

Major Prince waved his hand and guided the gunners beside him.

20mm anti-aircraft shells swept across the battlefield, leaving behind broken corpses, colorful internal organs and bright red blood scattered to the ground.

Through the radio, the defenders in the town had already learned of the arrival of reinforcements.

The No. 4 H-type tank took the opportunity to rush out of the town, and the paratroopers blew a whistle, and the paratroopers rushed out of the fugitive pits and hiding buildings, chasing the fleeing enemy.

After chasing for about three or four kilometers, the "Imperial Marshal" armored regiment suddenly turned around and marched to the west.

Defeating the enemy outside the town of Olihovatka was just to open the passage, and the west was the real goal of the troops.

Through aerial reconnaissance, the "Marshal of the Empire" armored regiment has learned that the enemy's armored troops crossed the Kalitva River from two villages about ten kilometers west of the town of Olihovatka.

There is no choice to fight head-on with the enemy on the south bank of the river, and to destroy the enemy's crossing location from the north bank of the river, and counter-surround the enemy. This is Major General Schumacher's ultimate goal.

Since you have crossed the river, don't think about going back and stay on the south bank of the Kalitva River forever. This is your bone burial place...Sougou
