In fact, General Model, commander of the 6th German Army, made a wrong judgment on the intentions of the Soviet Army's northern route cluster. After experiencing the power of Tiger tanks, Black Panther tanks and No. 4 H-type tanks in the battle of Legionovo Vovomin, how could the Soviet Red Army hit the muzzle of the German heavy tank cluster like a fool?

The offensive and defensive battle in Warsaw is so fierce that I can't see the shadows of the "Tiger" tanks and the "Black Panther" tanks. I think about it with my heels and know that these big tanks are now waiting for the Soviet tanks and infantry in Legionovo!

Therefore, the attack that was about to happen did not exist. According to the plan of the Soviet Western Front, the 3rd Army of the Soviet Army (composed of the 7th Tank Army, the 11th Mechanized Army, and the 18th Infantry Army) will start a large detour battle from 7 pm on July 19, cross the Reinav River, and then feint to the German army sideways and attract the German armored cluster deployed in Legionovo to follow up on the decisive battle.

At the beginning of the decisive battle on the north bank of the Reinav River, the other two armies of the Soviet Warsaw Campaign Cluster North Road Cluster (10th Army and 11th Army) would launch a fierce attack on Legionovo under the unified command of Lieutenant General Kuznetsov. At the same time, the main force of the middle group would also launch an attack from the south of Legionovo under the command of Cuikov.

In this way, no matter whether the tanks on the north bank of the Reinav River are winning or losing, Legionovo has a high probability of being occupied by the Soviet army. Even if the German heavy armored cluster wins on the north bank of the Reinav River, it will have to retreat west because of unstable rear routes.

On the front line of Laziming facing Legionovo, Major General Vasily Stepanovich Popov, commander of the 10th Army of the Soviet Red Army, who seemed to be quite reliable.

The troops of the 3rd Red Army Army passed through Lazimin from 7 pm on July 19 to 3 pm on July 20. This was a large corps of more than 80,000 people, and it also had more than 800 tanks/self-propelled artillery, nearly 1,000 towed artillery, and nearly 2,000 motor vehicles. It was also passed through the front line at night, and it was enough to make any mistakes.

Therefore, the 10th Army was busy with chaos, with alertness, air defense, and transportation sorting out, and had to cooperate with the newly established Polish Bolshevik Party Razimin Special Committee to arrest the traitor.

Major General Popov, as the commander of the group army, was busy until 5 a.m. on July 20, when the sky was dark, he returned to his headquarters in a church in Laziming City, and began to look through the reports sent by the troops.

Most of these reports were sent from the 328th and 330th Divisions that confronted the Germans on the front line, as well as reports from the 57th and 75th Divisions of the Cavalry operating on the north bank of the Reinav River.

All reports were very brief, with only a few words, and in fact they were just a report of peace. In the past 12 hours, the front line was peaceful and surprisingly quiet. The Germans who were confronting the Soviet army seemed to have fallen asleep, without harassed artillery bombardment, and no fire reconnaissance... This is quite abnormal! It has never appeared in these days when the two armies confronted each other!

Major General Popov, who participated in World War I, the Soviet-Russian Civil War, the Polish Battle and the Soviet-Finn War, had a very rich battlefield experience. After reading these reports, he knew that there was a little too much. Just as he picked up the phone receiver on his desk and wanted to hang up the phone to the 84th Army of the infantry on the front line and asked them to be vigilant, he suddenly heard a vague sound. He suddenly slapped his desk and stood up, which scared the people in the war room.

"The Nazis are shooting rocket launchers! They are going to raid!" Popov yelled.

Just when Chilkov, the political commissar of the 10th Army and Chief of Staff Grechko were all at a loss, the explosion exploded almost at the same time on the entire front line! Popov heard it correctly. The sound just now was indeed volleys of 162 rocket launchers of three German smoke launchers!

In addition to these 162 rocket launchers, Model also concentrated 13 artillery battalions equipped with 150mm howitzers and opened fire and bombarded!

The powerful German artillery group repeatedly plowed the defense line built by the Soviet 10th Army. Balls of orange flames exploded one after another on the position, blowing up anti-tank traps, barbed wire, minefields, various anti-tank artillery and heavy machine guns on the position. The 130mm rockets and 150mm high-explosive artillery shells were extremely powerful. Every roar broke out a gap in the Soviet front and threw out all the things within the power range.

Unlike the usual situation where they ran away after firing, today's German artillery group repeatedly slapped at the forefront of the 10th Army of the Soviet Army, pouring out artillery shells and rockets, and seemed to not care about the opponent's artillery counterattack.

The various sound whistles arranged behind the Soviet frontier positions quickly reported the results of the interpretation to the Artillery Command of the 10th Group Army, and immediately a mathematician master calculated the approximate location of the German artillery group.

"Commander, we have determined the position of the German artillery group!" The artillery director of the 10th Army reported excitedly.

Now, the Soviet aircraft and tanks dare not say that they can suppress their opponents. Even infantry encounters Nazi infantry and may not have the advantage, but the Soviet artillery still has an overwhelming advantage!

Whether it is howitzers, cannons or anti-tank guns, they can crush the Germans in number!

There are as many as 17 artillery regiments under the 10th Army, one tank army, one cavalry army and the artillery regiment directly under the army! There are as many as 544 various suppressed artillery pieces... This number has not yet been calculated as brigade-level, regiment-level artillery, various mortars and anti-aircraft artillery and rocket launchers.

"The gun group opens fire for me!" Popov ordered loudly, "Strike the Nazi gun group hard and let them know what the anger of the Bolsheviks feels!"

At the order of Major General Popov, 17 artillery regiments under the 10th Army immediately began to counterattack. The flash of more than 500 cannons shone the entire sky into red. Looking down from a height of three or four thousand meters, the bomber pilots of the Luftwaffe could immediately discover the location of the Soviet artillery group that was firing!

It turned out that it was not just the German 6th Army that participated in today's short assault. The powerful 6th Army of the Luftwaffe also sent more than 1,000 fighter jets, which had already arrived in the air near the war zone before the 6th Army's three smoke launcher regiments and 13 artillery battalions opened fire.

Now the gun group of the Soviet 10th Army exposed the target and was immediately bombed! Although all the anti-aircraft guns responsible for protecting the Soviet artillery group opened fire into the air, Jacques-1 and Rag-3, who were urgently launched, tried their best to stop the German aircraft group.

But where were the German aircraft deployed on a large scale, and fighter jets like Jacques-1 and Lager-3 that could be stopped? Thousands of bombs quickly landed on the heads of Soviet artillery, and the group of guns that had just opened fire suddenly became mute!

"Okay, the Soviet artillery was suppressed!"

Major General Hubei, the commander of the "Hubei Heavy Armored Division" sitting in an armored command vehicle, saw that no orange or dark red light flew through the air from east to west, and knew that the Soviet artillery group had been suppressed by the Luftwaffe.

"It's time for us now!" Major General Hubei stood up and looked straight ahead. He saw countless armored vehicles arranged in neat attack formations on a wide and flat plain!

At the front were three heavy armored battalions equipped with Tiger tanks, and 132 Tiger heavy tanks were arranged into a wedge-shaped assault array. Hundreds of various models of wheeled or semi-tracked armored personnel carriers, air defense fighting vehicles, tank repair vehicles and Zlini 2 105mm assault guns were also arranged in formation, following behind the Tiger heavy tanks, forming a mighty division-level armored cluster assault array!

"The vehicle started!" Major General Hubei issued an order loudly.

The staff officers on the side immediately sent his orders to every combat vehicle ahead through the on-board radio station. In less than 15 minutes, the roar of the motor resounded through the sky, almost overwhelming the sound of shelling and bomb explosions.

The sound of this internal combustion engine when it is running is soon reached the position of the 328th Soviet Red Army Infantry Division, which was just bombed by German cannons and rocket launchers.

The Red Army commanders and soldiers guarding there soon realized that something was wrong, so how could they not hear the sound of the tank motor? Moreover, the noise was so loud that it was not a small cluster of ten or eight vehicles.

"Comrades! Take your weapons and get to the position!"

"Comrades! World revolutionary soldiers, prepare to fight and attack the Nazis hard!"

"The time to test us is here..."

The shouts of commanders and political workers were rising and falling everywhere in the positions, and the Red Army soldiers in the brigade were quickly organized. The Red Army soldiers held rifles, anti-tank grenades and Molotov cocktail bottles, dragged machine guns, and ran along the winding traffic trenches from the hidden positions to the frontiers that were bombarded by German artillery. The 1937 45mm anti-tank gun and the ptrd-41 14.5mm anti-tank gun were then dragged or carried onto the shooting positions.
