"For me, life and death are almost the same! There is nothing scary!"

Laura said coldly without any worries.

Then she stopped looking at the other person, and even said a word; she remained completely silent and continued to stare at the scenery outside the train window.

In this regard, Mersol also remained silent for a while without expression before slowly turning around and preparing to leave.

"I like to live because you can have a wonderful life, and I still have many things and dreams that have not yet come true! So I will find a way to complete this secret mission and go back alive!"

Before leaving, Mersol whispered softly at Laura's door.

After saying that, he left without looking back and headed towards the private room where other German agents were.

The most important purpose of the Clinton Engineering Zone is to provide a large number of enriched tube alloys for the development of atomic bombs.

So this place not only has about 60 miles of railway roads, hundreds of kilometers of roads, but also has a large number of factories, residential areas, commercial areas, and more than 40,000 people.

Half a day later, Laura and the others took the train to Black Oak Ridge and were also arranged to the residential area in Happy Valley, Tennessee, waiting for the US military's work and accommodation arrangements.

At this time, on the eastern front, the Supreme Soviet Command was preparing to launch a series of offensives such as the Melitopol offensive, the Zaporoju offensive, the Piadyhatki offensive, and the Znamenka offensive, as well as the Dnepropetrovsk offensive, to recover the lost ground.

To put it simply, in order to liberate Ukraine, Donbas, Kiev, and capture the landing grounds of the Dnieper River, the Soviet army planned to launch the Dnieper River Battle.

The German troops that had already entered the defensive strategy, whether it was Manstein, Moder, or Marshal Klug, etc., did not receive any notice from Chen Yanlong to lead their troops to lead the troops in the areas of Veliz, Dorogobz, Bryansk, Sume, North Donets and Mius, and go all out to fight the Dnieper Battle prepared by the Soviet army to launch.

On the contrary, the Soviet army had already gathered the Central Front, Voronezh Front, Grassland Front, Southwest Front and Southern Front in the Azov Fleet and the enemy-behind guerrillas, ready to go.

The commanders of these troops were General K?k?Rokosovsky, General N?f?Vatukin, General Konev; General Malinovsky, General Torbuhin and Marshal Zhukov.

The total force mobilized by the Soviet army this time was more than 3.2 million troops, more than 60,000 artillery and mortars; more than 3,000 tanks and self-propelled artillery, and 5,000 combat aircraft.

The Soviet army's main attack target in the first phase was to attack Ukraine and Donbas on the left bank of the Dnieper River; of course, if the Soviet army was strongly resisted or counterattacked by the German army, the Soviet army's decision was to defend and defend in the Jesna River, the Sori River, the Dnieper River, the Molochnaya River and other areas; establish an indestructible strategic defensive position to prevent the German army from counterattacking and advancing.

Chen Yanlong knew very clearly that once the positions along the Dnieper River were occupied by the Soviet army, Germany would completely lose Ulank's food, Krivologe's iron ore, as well as manganese and non-ferrous metals from Zaporoge and Nicopol.

In other words, once the German army lost Ulank, Germany and its allies would lose a very important source base for natural resources.

Such huge losses have a great impact on the German army's supply of natural resources on the Eastern Front and even on the local level.

However, since the Sicily Battle is gradually entering a white-hot combat stage, he didn't have much confidence in his heart when facing the Soviet army suddenly prepared to launch the Dnieper River Battle.

For this reason, when he received the telegram from the front about the Soviet army's preparations before the battle in the Dnieper River area, he was on the Midway aircraft carrier in Denitz; watching Denitz's aircraft carrier fleet and fighting with the British and American fleets; but he was worried, frowned deeply, without a smile.

But soon he made up his mind to first let Model's 9th Army, the 2nd Army Group, and 200,000 vassal troops first build fortifications on the Narva River, Vitebsk, Orsha, Sori River, Dnieper River and Molochnaya River; to establish a strategic defense line called "Eastern Barriers", and use the Dnieper River as the key to defense.

However, the premise is that if the Soviet army cannot withstand the fierce attack, Model's troops will evacuate immediately and cannot drag all the soldiers to death, which will hurt the troops' vitality.

Model agreed excitedly and excitedly to Chen Yanlong's order.

Because he had already built an extremely powerful defense strategic position in many areas where the Soviet army might cross the river.

Especially in a series of areas on the left bank of the Dnieper River, Model's German troops built hundreds of powerful and ferocious bridgeheads.

Even in Kremenchurg, Zaporoze and Nicopol, powerful fortifications have been built; even the German army itself has smashed its tongue, and the 503rd armored division has been reorganized with Chen Yanlong; it has been deployed closely and can immediately face the Soviet tank troops at any time.

When Model accepted Chen Yanlong's latest combat order, the Soviet army's deployment was exactly the same as recorded in the original historical data.

The combat order of the base camp of the Soviet High Command was to require the grassland front to capture Krasnograd as quickly as possible, go to Dneprovsk, and quickly occupy and control the ferries of the Dnepro River.

The combat mission of the Voronezh Front was to attack Kremenchurg, and the Southwest Front troops attacked German positions on the front lines such as Balvinkovo, Pavlograd, Zaporoz, and Pologge, in order to wipe out all the troops deployed on the Dnieper River.

Once all areas of the Dnepr River are captured and occupied, the Soviet army will continue to advance and attack at Kiev, Kanev, Kremenchurg, Cherkass, and the water ferry near Dnepropetrovsk, and attack until Ukraine and liberate the entire Ukraine.

The Soviet guerrillas in Chernigov, Poltava, Dnepropetrovsk, Donbas and other regions are about to fully cooperate with the offensive operations of the Soviet troops; in order to annihilate the Germans more quickly, expand the landing grounds and bridgehead positions they have obtained.

On July 13, the sky was clear in the morning and the air was pleasant.

Under such beautiful weather, many German soldiers, who had been carrying out fortifications nervously, couldn't help but look up at the blue sky, showing a happy and satisfied smile that had been missing for a long time.

But at this moment, hundreds of signal flares and Geguang bombs were fired into the sky in the area where the Soviet army was stationed near the Dnieper River. Then, on the front positions of various Soviet troops, there was an instant sound of artillery bombardment like the earth shaking.

In a short while, thousands of howitzers, artillery, heavy artillery and mortars, field artillery, and the shells fired from Katyusha rocket launchers fell fiercely and violently like a storm on Model's German defensive positions.

"Oh no! The Soviet army launched a surprise attack! Hide in the bunker! Hurry!"

Seeing this, all the German soldiers in the area covered by Soviet artillery fire shouted in fear.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the German soldiers tried their best to hide everywhere, but many German soldiers were a little slower and were covered by the extremely fierce artillery fire of the Soviet army, and were killed or injured.
