General Weber was not that stupid. He went out to pursue those retreating enemies. For him, the most important thing was to occupy the city. He came for this goal.

As for those who retreat, there are naturally other troops pursuing them, and it is not their turn to chase them.

The Soviets retreated.

In the past, when the German army confronted each other on both sides of the city's river, several strong attacks were not successful, but now, when they crossed the river again, there was nothing on the other side.

Reohard's troops rowed over the rubber boat, and the opposite side was empty. They all retreated last night?

When Reohard's men got ashore, they immediately advanced rapidly towards the city and occupied those key departments!

At the same time, the news of the Soviets' breakthrough was quickly reported.

Just behind the encirclement, Guderian was pondering at the map.

The Soviets ran away, and just as their encirclement was about to be encircled, they actually ran away!

This tactic of siege has been tried and tested. From the beginning of the war to the present, the Soviet troops that disappeared into their own encirclement have exceeded one million, but this time it suddenly failed.

"The Soviets have figured out our way of playing," Kluge said: "Our encirclement this time is too large, and the troops are a little insufficient. It is difficult to expand our troops in the swamp area, especially because the Soviets' tenacious resistance has led to the encirclement being unable to encircle. As a result, the Soviets broke through from the gap that had not yet encircled."

In the past, the Soviets were not adapted to their own style of fighting and wanted to fight each other. After being surrounded, they broke through separately, and ended up falling under the impact of their own.

But now, the Soviets have come from the initial panic. They fight well, and they can even break through directly when it is unfavorable!

And Guderian also had a little appetite. The encirclement was too large this time, which led to insufficient local troops, especially the swamp here, which made their progress quite slowly.

"Order our air force to search for the trails of the breaking forces around immediately. In order to break through, they even threw away heavy weapons, and they must not run far. The air force delayed their actions. Our third armored cluster was advancing quickly to surround and annihilate them in the movement!"

Germany also has strong air power. Using the air hs129 is enough to cause great trouble to their retreating army, and then the ground troops chase after them and continue to eat them.

"Order the second armored cluster to end the Battle of Smolensk and immediately head south and prepare to join forces with the South Legion to encircle Kiev." Guderian continued to issue the order.

They also have a new tactic, which is to go south to reinforce the South Road Legion and surround Kyiv!

Judging from this experience, if there are not enough troops in the encirclement, the enemy will still break through and run away. Only Manstein's own legion in the south will not be able to complete this task.

The middle army headed south and caught them off guard!

Just doing this, I wonder if the first one to fight to Moscow in the end would be the Northern Legion! Guderian looked at the map and shook his head. He didn't care about fame. He had enough reputation. Now he only cared about victory!

In this way, it is easy to have cover. They only think that their side is advancing eastward. Who can know that their powerful legion has gone south and caught them off guard!

The German army was also responding quickly. At this time, outside the encirclement, the Soviet troops breaking out were quickly retreating to the east.

The 24th Army.

At that time, Timuxine wanted four armies to surround and eat a German armored division from outside. As a result, there was no progress in the fight with more and less. Then, a large number of German troops came up on their periphery and surrounded them.

Since then, their lives have been hard, and as Smolensk is gradually surrounded by the Germans, their hearts sink.

Fortunately, the order to retreat finally arrived. In order to avoid being surrounded by the Germans, Comrade Stalin issued an order to retreat.

Luckily, they found a path in the swamp!

This is the territory of the Soviets. They have the advantage of the territory. They are familiar with the environment here. And right within the army, there are locals.

Stiaff, a soldier in the 73rd Infantry Division of the 52nd Army of the 24th Army of the Law, was exploring the way forward with a long bamboo pole.

The bamboo pole was pierced into the swamp, testing the depth of the swamp, and then his feet stepped on it steadily.

"Come on, everyone, this is the most difficult part of the swamp. After this part, we can go out." Stiaff shouted.

How to break through the German encirclement is also a big problem.

If you take a normal route, you will definitely be surrounded by a large German army and a large number of tanks. Such a breakthrough is simply a dead end. Even if you go out, you will be chased by the Germans and eaten in one bite, and you will not be able to escape much.

There was no entrance to encirclement? There were more Soviet troops there, and nearby troops all planned to break through there. When they arrived, they couldn't squeeze through. The Germans reacted very quickly and they had no chance at all.

So, they had to take the risk and walk through this swamp that no one had ever walked through. After walking through this place, they successfully went out!

For this, they threw away all their heavy equipment and hiked through the swamp here.

In fact, they don’t have any heavy equipment. They are an infantry army and are all infantry under their command. The only heavy equipment is those heavy howitzers. No matter what direction they break through, they cannot escape with the howitzers and must be thrown away.

Now, they rolled up their trousers, bare legs, stepping on the swamp half-legged deep, slowly moving forward, all the equipment was pressed on their heads, and everyone was holding bamboo poles, tying them in the mud, and slowly moving forward.

The entire army was a long queue. The people leading the team in front had already passed the most difficult part of the swamp. They could see the hard land opposite and the woods. As long as they entered there, they could easily run away.

And the people behind have not yet gone down to the swamp.

"Okay, we are about to pass this swamp and reach the woods over there. Let's take a rest." Stiaff said.

As he was talking, suddenly, a rumbling roar came from above his head.

When everyone heard this sound, they all looked up nervously and looked into the sky.

In the distance, an airplane was flying slowly. When everyone saw this airplane, they were shocked.
Chapter completed!
