Chapter 1177 Entering Minsk (Plus 1)

The fierce battle was coming, Karius got back into his turret, fixed his eyes on the night vision goggles, and looked forward. For some reason, he always had a strange feeling.

It's not quite like it, it's too quiet, it's as quiet as no one else, and this is also the time when people are the most nervous. Is the opposite party already ready with a big killer, just waiting for our side to pass by?

The speed of the tank is not fast. In this kind of offensive queue, it is almost like walking with people. Behind the tank, there are wheeled infantry fighting vehicles. At this time, the soldiers in the infantry fighting vehicles have already jumped from the vehicle. Come down and follow behind the tank.

In this kind of night attack, it is easy for the tanks to catch the opponent's path, and it is much better to have infantry to follow.

Infantry-tank coordination is a subject that requires cooperation. After all, the blind spot of the tank is too large, and the blind spot at night is even more terrifying. If the infantry accidentally enters the blind spot of the tank, accidental injuries may occur.

Now, the infantrymen were separated by several meters from the tanks, even starting to line up with the tanks, and they had already seen the trenches ahead.

At this distance, if there is an enemy on the opposite side, they should start to fight back?

The infantry was also very strange, so they carried their assault rifles and ran forward quickly, over their own tanks, and ran towards the trenches there.

At the beginning, they were still running in a zigzag to prevent being hit by the opponent, but they were 50 meters away, and there was still no gunshot from the opposite side, which was absolutely unusual.

They couldn't help but keep running forward, and rushed to the edge of the trench in one breath.

Sure enough, the trenches were empty and there was no one at all!

The defenders on the outskirts of Minsk have withdrawn!

According to the general opinion, it is most convenient to resist the German attack outside the city. Now that the suburbs of the city have disappeared, are the Soviets planning to fight in the streets?

In an instant, the German infantry boiled, and they cheered loudly on the ground.

"The Soviets retreated, the Soviets retreated!"

Karjus looked unwilling and retreated? Gearing up, I wanted to fight on the periphery, but I punched cotton.

The Minsk defenders withdrew from their positions on the outskirts of the city.

Pavlov again made a serious mistake, Pavlov had orders from Moscow to order the retreat of the Soviet troops in the Bialystok salient.

According to Pavlov's order, it has now been a day and a half. Those troops should have withdrawn from the salient. Pavlov underestimated the mobility and transfer ability of his troops. It should be quite easy to withdraw the intact troops.

Moreover, his contact with these troops was completely cut off.

In this era, the connection was mainly by radio. Under the radio interference of the Germans, and the troops were being transferred, they could not stop to send reports, which led to the complete disconnection between Pavlov and the troops.

In fact, before the troops retreated, the communication was not very smooth, and now it is even more difficult.

Pavlov was still optimistic. According to his orders, those troops should jump out of the encirclement, and now, near Minsk, a large number of German tank troops suddenly appeared.

So Pavlov was stupid again.

Moscow agreed to the retreat of the troops of the Western Special Military Region in order to avoid being surrounded and annihilated by the Germans. The troops on the outskirts of Minsk are also an important military force of the Soviets. They will definitely not be able to stop the attack of the German tank troops. Forget it.

On the field, the German tanks are invincible. If they stay outside, they can only be destroyed by the Germans. It is better to stick to the interior of the city of Minsk.

Pavlov then withdrew all the troops near Minsk. This mistake he made was thanked by many people. Almost all of these troops survived and were not surrounded and destroyed by the Germans.

However, they voluntarily gave up on the outskirts of Minsk, but dug holes for other troops, because those troops did not move as fast as they imagined, and they were all still in the encirclement!

If they were in the suburbs and blocked the Germans for a few days, then the troops in the encirclement might still rush out. Now, they are taking the initiative to retreat to the interior of Minsk. In order to preserve their strength, do they think street fighting works?

A unit that only knows how to retreat will not be able to fight. Their military spirit has been dissipated.

In fact, there were originally a large number of troops near Minsk. However, in the previous command, Pavlov moved them to the front line, hoping to increase the army strength of the salient, so that those troops in the salient could A counter-offensive was launched, which resulted in a depletion of troops in the area around Minsk, otherwise the German army would not have easily reached Minsk.

Especially those anti-tank forces have been mobilized, and it is unlikely that the defenders of Minsk will resist the strong German armored forces in the field.

One foolishness is enough, one after another is foolish, and finally Pavlov was shot, which is definitely not wronged. If it was replaced by Zhukov's command, the result would definitely be different.

"Crush, let's rush into the city in one breath!" When he understood all this, Karius immediately shouted to his driver.

At the same time, in his earphones, there was also the command of the regiment commander to continue the attack and rush into the city in one breath!

So, in the dark, tanks, mixed with a large number of infantry, went out into the city. They crossed the fortifications one after another and easily arrived in the city of Minsk.

"Target, five hundred meters ahead, street fortifications, grenades." With the help of his night vision device, Karius gave the order.

In the city of Minsk, some arrangements have been made, such as the machine gun position in the center of the road, which will make anyone who wants to attack along the street pay a heavy price.

Now the opponent still did not fire, probably knowing that there was no way to deal with the tank at this distance, Karius calmly gave the order.

"Boom!" The fire from the muzzle lit up the entire street, making people temporarily blind and unable to see anything clearly. The machine gunners who were ready to fight were sitting behind the heavy machine guns, planning to fight heroically and tenaciously.

Unfortunately, he hadn't opened fire yet, and there was light in front of him, and then, a terrible explosion sounded around him.

"Clear."

Behind the tank, the infantry accompanied them, moving forward little by little. In the buildings on both sides of the street corner, enemies would appear at any time, and they would use their 6.8mm rifles to fire violently at any time.

"Da da da." A soldier held a gun and opened fire on the second floor in front of him. On the roof, a gunman fell off.

Dongfang has already exposed fish belly white.
