The SS units that first attacked the village were three infantry companies, one machine gun company and one artillery company. The commander was Ritter von Hengel, the squadron leader of the second-level commando, and Thomas Miller, the squadron leader of the second-level commando, as adjutants.

The remaining three T-54 tanks and armored troops in the rear of the regiment commander, Colonel Otto Coom, entered the gradually occupied village one after another.

The snowflakes in the night sky are also changing increasingly densely, and the earth is also covered with thicker and thicker snow.

The temperature was getting colder and biting, making him feel colder.

If the German army had not prepared warm winter clothes this time, many German officers and soldiers would have been frozen or frostbite and lost their combat effectiveness.

"The Soviet army withdrew very quickly. We have almost all occupied this small village. Our next step is to continue pursuing the remnants of the Soviet army that had fled in a panic, or to garrison here to wait for the arrival and gathering of other troops of our SS Head of Grenadier Division? Colonel Otto Coom!"

Captain Heinz Hammel, the squadron leader of the first-level commando, was inquiring at Colonel Otto Coom, who was commanding the officers and soldiers of his 2nd Battalion Infantry Battalion, who was commanding the armored forces into the village.

"We are still stationed here and wait for the army to arrive and continue to advance and explore the way!"

"It's almost late at night now, and the surrounding situation is not easy to grasp, and the weather is getting colder and biting. Let's first check here if there are heating equipment to keep warm, let the troops rest and rectify the damage situation, and eat something to replenish their physical strength!"

The regiment commander Colonel Otto Coom glanced at the battlefield, and responded after a moment of silence.

"Well! OK, I think so too, so I'll arrange the rest of the troops!"

As for the battlefield cleaning and the task of clearing out the few Soviet troops lurking in the village, it was handed over to the squadron leader Ritter von Hengel and Thomas Miller, the squadron leader!"

Captain Heinz Hammel, the captain of the first-level commando, nodded and agreed.

"Go! I'm only responsible for the command of the armored troops and tank troops now!"

The regiment commander Colonel Otto Coom also nodded in agreement.

Then the two of them went to their own tasks, and the other officers who received the order to clean the battlefield also performed their own duties and fought.

At this time, Shaposhnikov was re-arranged by Stalin from the position of dean of the General Staff Military Academy to serve as a political commissar of the Southwest Front, and assisted his disciple Huasilevsky to fight against the German army attacking Kharkov.

Huasilevsky was the three famous generals of the Soviet army, just like Marshal Zhukov and Marshal Rokosovsky.

Shaposhnikov was the first person to be highly respected by Stalin, the first person to be named full name by Stalin, and the only person allowed to smoke in front of Stalin.

Of course, the reason why he was treated and respected by Stalin without any precaution was that this person was cowardly, dared not fight for power and had no big ambitions.

But because of this, when the Soviet army was preparing to launch a combat plan to counterattack the German army in the summer of 1942, he withdrew from the Soviet army's political stage on the grounds that he was uncomfortable and was willing to go to the General Staff Military Academy to be an ordinary dean and live some ordinary daily life.

The opposite of him was his disciple Huasilevsky, but he was an aggressive and talented general.

In the original history, on July 5, 1943, Hitler launched the "fortress war" on the Kursk front in order to regain the dominance of the Eastern Front; but on August 3, Vasislevsky led the Voronezh Front and the Grassland Front to carry out a large-scale counterattack against the German army that carried out the fortress war, and in more than a week later, he recovered Kharkov, the second largest city in Ukraine.

This made him the first general to recover the first big city occupied by the German army, and made him famous.

So when this time, the Southern Army, commanded by Manstein himself, merged with the Central Army and renamed the German Army, the fierce attack not only allowed him to lead the army to aid Kharkov, but also applied for a relatively large reserve team from Stalin.

This reserve team is the reorganized 37th Army, which will soon be under the 175th, 206th, 147th, 296th, 284th, 302nd Division of the Infantry Division. In addition, a new reserve tank army of 88th Tank Army has been added.

However, this unit is preparing to invest in the route where the SS Head of State Grenadier Regiment is about to continue its exploration, which is very dangerous for such an unknown crisis.
