This was just the first step of the Soviet army. The second step of the Soviet army's attack was quickly launched. Countless cannons began to bombard the fourth line of defense. The flying shells were covered with orange flames, and they were drawn in arcs to the fourth line of defense. The fourth line of defense, which had been blown to pieces, was once again trapped in the fire hell, trembling, burning, and tearing under the violent shelling. Every inch of land could not escape the test of purgatory.

However, the Soviet army's expected counterattack of German artillery did not occur. This situation was really abnormal. Che Nier used to serve in the Far East and was still a squad leader a year ago. He was promoted to a captain company commander because of his achievements in the Far East for several achievements in combat against Japan. The abnormal situation on the front line quickly made Che Nier realize that the German German army was really abnormal and quickly reflected the situation.

Zhukov quickly received the situation reported on the front line, but now Zhukov is on the verge of arrows and has to fire, and still issued an order to attack according to the original plan. Hundreds of thousands of troops are now in place. Zhukov cannot give up the attack because Germany's reaction is a bit abnormal. That is not Zhukov's character. As long as it is something Zhukov believes, it is difficult for Zhukov to turn back or change his mind external factors.

As the commander of the infantry company, Che Nier certainly could not break through on the front line. More than 500 tanks of Zhukov's armored army roared and crushed the German defense line. Soviet tanks were basically light tanks, and even slightly better medium tanks like T28 were very few, but the 500 tanks were still amazing when they started.

As the highest armored commander of the Soviet army, Lieutenant General Kabaye easily annihilated four tank corpses of the little Japanese as the armored forces and Japan in the Far East. Although the little Japanese tanks were garbage, this gave Kabaye a lot of combat experience...

The fourth line of defense is only twenty kilometers away from the third line of defense. For light tanks, it will arrive in more than ten minutes. As for the little warning force that Bault left on the fourth line of defense, there is no trace of it. The rocket launchers and artillery directly dissipated them, as if they had never brought this world.

The Soviet Armored Army's assault speed was very fast, which was completely out of touch with the infantry behind. After all, the current theory of the Soviet army's large-depth offensive was mature. However, it has not been practiced. Zhukov's hasty deep attack was a bit different. Zhukov also knew his troops' experience inadequately. So he chose to attack the German army's two lines of defense. It was only forty kilometers.

If the German position has not been taken down by day, Zhukov can choose to retreat or be tied with the German army, so that the threat of German aircraft will be greatly reduced. If that is true, Zhukov will most likely choose to retreat. These elite Zhukovs cannot afford to lose.

Once these elite soldiers are finished, Zhukov's trump card will be finished. If Zhukov wants to defend Baku, it will be impossible to complete the task. Millions of cannon fodder soldiers must be used as the pillars to play their roles. The backbone is collapsed. What's the use of details? Just delivering dishes.

The Soviet armored assault group attacked very smoothly. The fourth line of defense was crushed and then rushed towards the third line of defense. Because the Soviet army was light tanks and the speed was too fast, it left the Soviet infantry for a long distance. The Soviet armored army was transferred from the Far East, and they were fighting the little Japanese howling. Therefore, the Soviet armored army had high morale and did not care about the infantry behind, but crushed the third line of defense.

"All tanks are careful and charge at full speed. We must take advantage of the German devils before they can react, and they will send these damn devils to hell. Everything is for Stalin, comrades!!!"

It's so good. The German army is for Germany, for the great head of state Hitler, and the Soviet army started the largest tank war since the outbreak of the Soviet-German War. If Kabaye's armored army is full, it will be more than a thousand tanks, and Kokabaye's armored forces are not satisfied.

In January 1940, the Soviet army decided to reorganize a large-scale tank unit - the Mechanized Army, the ** Tank Division, and the ** Motorized Army. The Mechanized Army consists of 2 tank divisions, 1 Motorized Division, a Motorcycle Regiment, 1 ** Communication Battalion, 1 ** Engineering Barracks and 1 Air Force Battalion. The Tank Division has 2 tank regiments, 1 Motorized Infantry Regiment, 1 Artillery Regiment and some service support units. The division has 11,343 personnel, about 60 various artillery and mortars, and 375 tanks (including 63 KV heavy tanks, 210 T-34 medium tanks, 102 T-26 and BT tanks).

The Motorcycling Division has organized 2 motorcycle regiments, 1 tank regiment, 1 artillery regiment and service support detachment. The division has 11,650 personnel, about 100 artillery and mortars, and 275 light tanks. One mechanized army and its direct troops have a total of more than 36,000 people, 1,031 tanks, 258 artillery and mortars, more than 5,000 cars, 350 tractors and about 1,700 motorcycles.

By the time the Soviet-German War broke out, the Soviet army formed a total of 29 mechanized armies. The scale was quite large, but under the conditions at that time it was difficult to effectively command such a large army. Compared with the German armored divisions of the same period, the number of tanks in the Soviet tank division was nearly half more than the German armored divisions in the 2nd battalion tank regiment (equipped 152 tanks), and the number of German armored divisions in the 3rd battalion tank regiment (equipped 207 tanks). Even the number of tanks in the Soviet motorized divisions was one-fourth more than the armored divisions in the 3rd battalion tank regiment.

However, the gap between the personnel quality of both sides (especially middle and lower-level officers) and communication equipment makes the difference in command efficiency obvious. Moreover, when most mechanized armies formed by the Soviet army in the spring of 1940 accounted for only 20% to 40% of the organization when the war broke out, which further exacerbated the difficulty of command. In addition, the various types of tanks equipped by the mechanized armies in several border military regions accounted for an average of 53% of the organization, and the proportion of new tanks was very small. It was in this case that the Soviet mechanized army entered the unprecedented battle in the Soviet-German War.

The same is true for Kabaye's armored army. The entire army's tank hunting rate is only about 50%, so Kabaye's armor only has more than 500 tanks, most of which are light tanks, with only a small number of T26 medium tanks, which are not on the same level as German tanks.

The Soviet armored troops attacked very quickly, with a distance of twenty kilometers, only a cigarette. If a huge tank group assaulted, without any reconnaissance, the German army would know that a large number of Soviet tanks charged towards their positions. The German army could judge the distance of the Soviet tank assault group based on the vibration of the ground, while the Soviet army could only judge the distance of the third line of defense based on the terrain.
