Zhukov and Pavlov's determination soon turned into the roar of more than 3,000 cannons and more than 800 Katyusha rocket launchers. Although the total number of artillery on the Soviet-German battlefield is far less than that of the European Union, around the triangle between Volokoramsk-Mara River-Solnechnogorsk, the Soviet artillery is several times stronger than that of the German army. When all the artillery positions start firing at the highest speed, the sound of the artillery was completely integrated into a whole, and only the loud bang echoed in the ears of people on the battlefield. The ground also bumped violently, and people near the landing point almost couldn't even stand firmly.

The German artillery fire was not to be outdone. Just when the Soviet artillery group on the southern front was counterattacking, the F-189 artillery school-fired aircraft in the sky reported their precise location to the hidden German-torn howitzer group. Although the 270 SFH18 150mm howitzers belonging to five regiments were not considered powerful firepower on the Soviet-German battlefield, under the command of the artillery school-fired aircraft, these artillery still fired its due power, and in just a few minutes it was dumbfounded.

At the same time, more than 200 do217 medium-sized bombers hovering in the air waiting for the Soviet artillery group to be exposed, also seemed to have giant eagles in the air that had discovered their prey, roaring and dropping tons of bombs and incendiary bombs. Suddenly, several Soviet artillery positions that were firing fiercely into a sea of ​​fire!

However, German air strikes and artillery counterattacks cannot completely suppress the Soviet artillery fire. After all, it is at night. The accuracy of air strikes and the role of artillery school-fired aircraft have been severely reduced.

At 8:35 pm on May 6, the gun group affiliated with the Soviet North Line Assault Cluster suddenly changed its launch method, from the original comprehensive suppression to the Xu Jin barrage-style shooting concentrated in several key breakthroughs. According to the speed of infantry advancement, it extended 200 meters forward per minute. The bombing point of the artillery fire first exploded layer by layer between Rodshenno, west of the Rama River and Osheikino on the Rama River. The landing points were very dense, so that a high wall of flames composed of explosions, shrapnel, smoke and dust was formed. It slowly moved, completely shattering all obstacles, and opening up a passage for the tank assault cluster to advance.

The attack on the Soviet Army’s northern line cluster has begun!

The first one to break out of the trench were the lower-level officers and political cadres of the Soviet infantry unit. They braved the counterattack artillery fire from the German army and stood outside the trench. Behind them, flares fired by mortars rose to the sky in a dense manner, and then slowly fell down, illuminating a large area of ​​war-torn land.

"To defend the cause of gcism!"

"In order to defend the Soviet motherland!"

"Comrades, come with me..."

The Bolshevik officers waved their pistols and shouted: GCism fighters, advance!

At the front of Rodsnow-Oschökino, less than 20 kilometers, 20,000 elite infantry drawn from the seven Red Army infantry divisions rushed out of the trenches. Each of these GC soldiers carried several heavy RPG-43 anti-tank grenades, and some of them carried American-aided Bazukka rockets or the "red iron fist" imitated by the Soviet Union. Before attacking, everyone drank a large cup of vodka, so their faces looked rosy and slightly excited.

The German artillery counterattack was not fierce, and their artillery seemed to be completely suppressed by the Soviet artillery. The Red Army soldiers formed a scattered line of attacks, and the shouts of "Ula!Ula!" began to resound on the battlefield!

Soviet tanks also appeared later. They did not guide infantry, but "cover" infantry. At the two main breakthroughs, General Katukov each put hundreds of huge JS-2 tanks and T-34/85 tanks. They followed behind the brave Red Army infantry, holding 122mm and 85mm caliber main guns and slowly advanced forward.

Behind these tanks are many American jeeps carrying mortars. Their mission is to launch flares after Soviet infantry and German troops encounter them to offset the power of "car-mounted radar" or other secret weapons of night war.

The only thing we greeted them was the German army, which was not very fierce artillery fire and blindly fired machine gun fire. Because the smoke of Soviet artillery bombardment had not yet dissipated, the visibility on the battlefield was extremely poor. Even with night vision equipment (in fact, the German infantry on the front line did not) could not see the target clearly. However, the German soldiers who escaped the Soviet artillery still used their mg42, mkb42 and fg42 to open fire at the place where the shouts of "Ula! Ula!" were heard. The Red Army soldiers suffered some casualties, but they did not slow down and rushed with their heads covered with bullets fired by the Germans.

In front of them there was only a very thin trench, many scattered anti-aircraft bunkers and foxgloves. The Germans did not occupy this area for a long time and had no time to build solid fortifications. However, they did not place many troops on the front line and were caught with shells, so there were not many casualties, and they could not deal with attacks like sea of ​​people and sea of ​​tanks.

The German front line on the front of Rodshenno-Oschökino was quickly broken through. If this breakthrough reflects the situation chart of the Soviet and German armies, it would be a thick arrow 20 kilometers wide, breaking through the German defense and attacking Volokolamsk.

But everyone knows that this breakthrough is only temporary, and the fatal counterattack of German tanks will begin soon!

The fate of the Soviet motherland and the cause of GCism depends on what the decisive battle between Soviet tanks and German tanks can be like?

Captain Ribbentrop's heavy tank company was a very deadly existence to the Soviets.

The 20 e-50a tanks are now like 20 hideous giant beasts, squatting outside the city of Osheikino, on the edge of a forest attached to the west bank of the Mara River, with bloody mouths facing the prey that is approaching step by step. Moreover, these 20 steel monsters also have a skill that is almost against the sky in this era!

The infrared searchlights on the 4 "Owls" night battle illuminated by the 2nd Company of the 516th Heavy Tank Battalion where Captain Ribbentrop were already on, and the infrared rays that were invisible to the naked eye were sweeping over and over the flat land 1,500 meters away.

However, these four "Owls" night battle illumination vehicles are not specifically designed to illuminate 20 e-50a tanks. Because there are two paratrooper companies with many "doll" bazooka and "tank killer" bazooka, which are in concert with Ribbintrop's tank company.

The paratroopers' front line was about 1,000 meters before Ribbintrop's tanks, and many anti-tank fire bunkers and foxglove pits were excavated. There was also a mortar group under the paratrooper company in the nearby woods. Once it was fired in front, they would fire flares or other ammunition.

In addition to these two paratrooper companies that cooperated with Ribbintrov's heavy armored company, on the west side of the Ribbintrov company, there were many battle groups composed of heavy armored companies and paratrooper companies. Just outside the city of Osheikino, on the plain west of the Mara River, the front line was launched.

"Captain, the Soviets are here!"

The sound of gunner Mahaus sounded in Ribbentrop's ears. There were two FG-1250 night vision telescopes on the e-50a tank, one of which was used by the gunner and the other was used by the commander (Ribbintrov). Hearing the words of gunner Mahaus, Ribbentrov quickly put his eyes on the eyepiece of the fg-1250 night vision telescope.

"It's not the Soviets, it's ours." Ribbentrop vaguely saw several scattered figures running desperately, obviously not the Soviet army in the attack. He paused and said, "But the Soviets are coming soon!"

As if to prove his judgment, the shouts of "Ula!Ula!" came quickly from the darkness.

"Brothers, prepare for the fight!" Ribbintrov pressed the throat communicator and conveyed an order to his subordinates, "Remember, our target is Soviet tanks, and fire within 1,500 meters. Good luck!"

Of course, the e-50a tank will not expose its position for the sake of a mere infantry. These tanks have been carefully camouflaged, and there is a camouflage net on the body, which is not easy to detect in the dark.

As for the Soviet infantry, the paratroopers' fg-42 and an assault gun group that had just moved their positions in the rear would solve them.

It was not long after Ribbintrov finished speaking. A burst of thunder-like artillery fire suddenly flew over about three thousand meters ahead. Captain Ribbintrov knew that this was the grizzly assault gun in the rear, and perhaps the rhino anti-tank destroyer was firing. It must have been the artillery observers who were operating with the paratroopers in the front who discovered the Soviet infantry and tanks rumbling.

The Soviet army, which was suddenly attacked by artillery, quickly responded. The infantry rushing in front issued a more intense shout of "Ula!Ula!" and accelerated the attack speed. The mortar teams responsible for firing flares in the rear jumped off the American Jeep, slapped 82mm or 120mm mortars, and began to fire flares into the air with a rumbling rumbling.

However, these flares did not fall on the head of the heavily armored company commanded by Ribbintrov. They just illuminated a large area of ​​empty and deserted land. In a maximum of 20 minutes, a fierce night battle of tanks would occur on this land Rudolph von Ribbintrov thought of this, and then turned his eyes to the eyepiece of the night vision telescope and carefully searched for the traces of Soviet tanks.

At 9:27 pm, as the paratroopers in front retreated step by step, the first huge T-34/85 tank appeared in Ribbentrop's night vision telescope!.
