The brutal battle was fully staged around May Day Town on the Red October Railway Line, and the area where the Tiev battle group was located was the most violent place.

With the support of tanks and assault artillery, the German army launched two waves of infantry charges in succession. They wanted to use infantry to seize the Soviet front, but the Soviet infantry, mainly Kazakhs, were unexpectedly tenacious. Although they suffered considerable casualties, they still repelled the attacking Germans twice with the support of the 8th Infantry Division of the Guards.

The German commander, who felt a little stubborn, could not hold back and ordered the tanks and assault artillery to continue to move forward to crush the Soviet army. The anti-tank gun that had been enduring before suddenly showed its power!

"Bao! Bao! Bao..."

The deafening anti-tank rifles sounded one after another on the positions that the Tiev group was holding. The tracks of the "Grizzly" assault guns that rushed in the front were immediately broken. The huge vehicle body slid forward for a short distance under the action of inertia, and then stopped abruptly and stopped in the mud.

At this moment, a dozen mud-covered figures suddenly jumped out of the mud in the mud in front of these "grizzly bears", and rushed towards several "grizzly bears" with broken tracks, as fast as a gust of wind.

These people had no guns in their hands, only a "red iron fist" exactly the same as the German "Iron Fist" 60 anti-tank bazooka. As long as they rushed to a place within 60 meters of the "Grizzly Bear", they could use their weapons to destroy the "Grizzly Bear" 100mm thick and 40-degree inclination front armor!

The Germans on the "Grizzly" assault guns quickly reacted. The parallel machine guns on the front of the vehicle and the machine guns on the top of the vehicle opened fire at the same time. The German infantry responsible for covering the assault guns also picked up the mkb42 and fired wildly, knocking most of the "clay men" into "blood men". However, Tiev still saw two Kazakh warriors rushing to a place within 30 meters of the "Grizzly" assault gun (the Soviet Union's imitation of the Iron Fist 60 has no accurate head at 60 meters, and it is only useful within 30 meters).

One of them knelt on one knee and put the "red iron fist" on his shoulder. Regardless of the machine guns and carbines that were shooting at him, he pressed the firing button without hesitation. In an instant, a small bullet dragged the flames and suddenly crashed into a thirty-ton grizzly assault gun. As the huge dazzling fireball rose, a bullet from a mkb42 carbine also hit the Kazakh warrior. The oriental man, who had no name in later history, knelt there, stared at the assault gun that was destroyed by him, had a smile on his lips, and then he fell suddenly.

At the same time, another Kazakh warrior also completed the attack, and he completed the launch while standing. When the rocket was shot out, he lay down with extremely rapid movements and avoided the bullets fired at him.

When the huge fireball rose from the front of the Grizzly Assault Cannon that he destroyed, he climbed up with extremely quick movements, turned around and ran towards the trench where Tiev was, and finally survived miraculously.

However, Tiev had no time to praise the Kazakh warrior, because the German armored clusters and infantry were not blocked by several anti-tank guns. Just when the Kazakh warrior ran back, the German infantry and combat vehicles had already rushed to the first trench of the Soviet army.

However, several of the Grizzlies and No. 4 H-type tanks were pressed on landmines, and several vehicles were hit by Soviet anti-tank guns again, all of which lost the ability to continue moving forward.

At this moment, three zis-3 76mm cannons and two su-57 tank destroyers who had been waiting for the opportunity opened fire at the same time. Three Grizzlies and No. 4, who were unable to move, were hit and turned into fireballs.

The other Grizzlies and No. 4 also stopped moving forward as if they were frightened. The No. 4 tanks turned their muzzles one after another and aimed at the hidden places of the Soviet cannons and tank destroyers!

"Comrades! For the sake of the motherland and for the cause of GCism, rush!" Tiev knew that now was the most critical moment, so he issued the order to charge without any hesitation, and picked up a rpg-43 anti-tank grenade with extremely strong armor-breaking ability and jumped out of the trenches.

The grenade he used was also the first anti-tank weapon of the Soviet infantry. It weighed 1.2 kilograms and used energy-concentrating charge. It had an effective armor-breaking thickness of 75mm. It also had a special canvas stabilization umbrella device that ensured that the warhead touched the target first.

Under the order and leadership of Tyev, the Kazakh soldiers in the trenches also held up mobilizers, grenades or pobosha submachine guns to launch an impact. The rpg-43 anti-tank grenades with fire or dragged a "tail" (the kind of canvas stabilizing umbrellas popped out with springs) flew towards German tanks and assault guns one after another. In an instant, several No. 4 and Grizzlies turned into fireballs.

However, many German tanks successfully launched invincible shell-piercing shells. A transfer-based Su-57 was exploded on the spot, while three zis-3 cannons were all destroyed.

At the same time, all the machine guns on the No. 4 tank and Grizzly assault guns were roaring, killing the Soviet troops who rushed out of the trenches.

The German infantry, who charged with tanks and assault guns, followed and fired a string of flames with the powerful mkb-42 carbine. Soon, they pushed Diev and his comrades back into the trench.

However, Tiev did not order a retreat, but shouted again: "Although Russia is big, it has nowhere to retreat: Moscow is behind it!"

The fierce battle immediately unfolded in the trenches where the Tiev group was holding. Grenades and molten bottles flew out from all corners of the trenches. The warheads of the "red iron fist" were occasionally dragging fireworks to the German steel chariots. There were even some of the most loyal GC-doctoral soldiers hid in the trenches with cluster grenades, waiting for the German tanks to crush them and fired the grenades when they passed away, and died with the German tanks!

However, the strength gap between the two sides is very different. On one side, the German army mainly lost vehicles, and the personnel in the vehicles may not be killed (most of the vehicles can be repaired), while on the other side, the Red Army died in real personnel. As the Red Army soldiers fell under the muzzles and muzzles of the German army, they could no longer prevent the German tanks and infantry from breaking through their first and second trenches.

The subsequent close combat of infantry was extremely unfavorable to the Soviet army. Most of the German infantry were equipped with the powerful mkb42 carbine, which was an automatic musket that fired intermediate bullets, similar to the famous AK-47 in history. However, the Soviet infantry still used the Mosin-Nagan rifle and the Poposa submachine gun.

When the battle was approaching noon on April 23, Captain Tiev's troops were only left with the last 28 people, and they were squeezed into a forest on the edge of the defense line. After refusing the persuasion of the traitors (the white soldiers who followed the German army) to surrender, the 28 GC-savvy soldiers fought the final resistance and all died heroically in the afternoon of the same day!

On April 23, an equally tragic battle continued to occur around the May 1st Town where the 8th Infantry Division of the Guards was defended. Lieutenant Felstov, the company commander from the 1076th Infantry Regiment, and Captain Pavlov, the political deputy battalion commander from the 1077th Regiment, also led hundreds of GCister from Kazakhstan to fulfill his oath to the red flag and sacrificed all heroically in the battle outside the May 1st Town!

The heroic sacrifices of Soviet heroes such as Tyev, Felstov, and Pavlov (the three of them were posthumously awarded Soviet heroes soon after) are not meaningless.

Their heroic battle caused the 8th and 9th Divisions of the German Wehrmacht Grenadiers, who were responsible for the attack, to lose 122 armored vehicles in a daytime battle, of which 38 were completely damaged, and the number of casualties and missing officers and soldiers was as high as more than 1,500!

When the German Northern Army Group Command and General Staff obtained the casualties and losses reported by the two grenadier divisions, they were both shocked. Although the German army "released water" in the attack on May 1st Town, such losses were completely beyond their expectations!

However, it was not only the Germans who were surprised on the night of April 23, but the Soviet Red Army Command was also surprised.

They were not surprised by the bravery and tenacity shown by their Red Army soldiers, they were surprised by the Luftwaffe bombings on April 22 and 23.

Of course, the Soviet Red Army was not unfried by German planes. In fact, since the outbreak of the great Patriotic War, the German planes had thrown countless bombs on the heads of the Soviet people, and they had long been used to bombing the Soviet people.

However, this time the Luftwaffe bombing on the Kalinin-Tver battlefield and the northern part of Moscow Prefecture surprised Stalin, Zhukov, Pavlov and others.

Starting from the daytime on April 22, the Luftwaffe suddenly launched air strikes on Soviet-controlled roads and traffic hubs on the Kalinin-Tver battlefield with unprecedented strength.

The do-217m bomber with a load of up to 4 tons and the ju188 (the reduced-provision version of the ju288) bomber with a load of 3 tons were dispatched crazily. In two days, at least 3,000 bombs were dispatched and tens of thousands of tons of bombs were dropped, many of which were delayed detonation butterfly bombs.

As a result, the roads from Kufsinovo, Tork, Likuslavl and Andreapol to Moscow were all blown into the surface of the moon.

In addition, more than a dozen very important bridges were destroyed by German military remote-controlled missiles.

Therefore, the retreat of the mechanized troops that the Soviet Command planned to implement is difficult to carry out now.
