Costana was nervous but busy in the first half of July 21. The news of Vlasov's ambush made Temusingo and other officers begin to believe Lu Jin's plan. But Lu Jin himself did not dare to be careless because the 24th Army still couldn't tell how many tanks and soldiers the ambushed enemies had. So what he could do was to personally check the preparations of the main breakout troops, collect each livestock that could be used, and instruct the soldiers to bring more ammunition, water and food.

In the eyes of soldiers, he is a good officer, sympathetic to his subordinates and respects soldiers, and can organize tactics based on the situation of each unit. Unlike some officers who only emphasize spirit and will, but have no understanding of the actual abilities of soldiers. Even so far, many officers have asked soldiers to complete some hopeless tasks and treat them as consumables. But in good officers, there are also times when they break up with the troops. At nine o'clock in the evening, a bearded cavalry major rushed into the command center with blood and jumped into the horse: "Mobilized! Mobilized! The enemy in the north has been mobilized west!"

"Are you reading it wrong?" Brother Temuxin jumped up from the chair and rushed to the major.

"I saw it lightly. Hundreds of tanks and trucks passed through Alexander Drokaf's pontoon. You see, when I retreated, I was discovered by the enemy's armored vehicles, and many soldiers died."

"Great! Comrades, start the action! Pull out all the cannons, prepare for the heavy artillery regiment, firing the cannons in ten minutes, and blowing the floating bridge!" Brother Tiemuxin shouted excitedly and walked to Lu Jin: "Comrade Lu Jin, you are most familiar with the troops, so you can lead the assault troops yourself."

"No! Comrade Commander. You can't find an officer who is more familiar with defense than me, so I must stay and cut off the rear!" Lu Jin refused the order firmly. At this time, he had no idea of ​​hiding his weakness. In fact, among the current senior commanders of the Soviet army, there were indeed not many officers who were better at defending than him. Moreover, he also had selfish intentions, because he knew that it was the entire army to break through, but at least 100,000 soldiers who wanted to stay and cut off the rear and throw away all the heavy equipment, including cannons. If he left, the troops who broke the rear would definitely not be able to stop the enemy's armor torrent. Only by staying by himself could they win a glimmer of life for these soldiers.

Seeing that he insisted on staying, Brother Timuxin didn't hesitate too much. After shaking hands, he left the command post under the protection of the guard. After he left, the command post that had just been crowded just now became cold and looked at the last few officers assigned to stay. Lu Jin smiled bitterly in his heart, but shouted vigorously: "Get up and be prepared! We can definitely return to Ural!"

When Lu Jin encouraged everyone, the roof of the church in the city was roughly lifted by the soldiers, revealing two thick hideous cannon barrels. This is the killer weapon used by Tiemxinge to destroy the floating bridge, the br-18 305mm heavy howitzer. This howitzer has a range of more than 16 kilometers, the shell weighs 330 kilograms, and the rapid fire is 12 rounds per hour. The combat weight is 35 tons, and the marching weight reaches 54 tons. It is the largest caliber field gun in the Soviet army. However, due to its large weight, it is often used for fixed defense.

These two br-18 and four br-5 280mm howitzers were prepared by Lu Jin. They originally wanted to cause damage to the opponent's infantry at critical moments, so they were specially hidden in churches and nearby buildings that the Chinese Air Force would not bomb at will. "Fire!" As the artillery shouted, six heavy artillery sprayed out huge earth fireballs at the same time. Almost at the same time, the remaining 3,000-piece guns of the Siberian Front also opened fire at the same time, firing fiercely at the surrounding Wehrmacht positions.

In order to destroy the pontoon bridge 15 kilometers away, Timuxine not only assembled 6 heavy artillery, but also 20 ml-20 152mm howitzers were bombarded. The Soviet artillery, who were determined to break through and no longer had to be stingy with ammunition, mobilized all the Soviet artillery and threw ammunition at the target frantically. Faced with the sudden increase in artillery fire of the Soviet army, the National Defense Forces also quickly launched a counterattack, 85mm field howitzer, 105mm self-propelled howitzer, 105mm/155mm towing Cannon howitzer, 130mm self-propelled rocket launcher, 155mm self-propelled howitzer, 210mm self-propelled howitzer... The entire night sky was filled with red trajectory drawn by shells. Fifteen minutes later, the Soviet army waiting to break through suddenly loudly, and the pontoon bridge upstream of Costana was finally blown up by a 305mm shell.

"Long live the Soviets! Long live Stalin! Comrades, rush!"

"Ula!"

Just like the opened river dam, more than 300,000 Soviet troops rushed out of the bunker and broke out to the north under the cover of hundreds of tanks/armored vehicles and armed trucks. The huge breakthrough swept across the entire battlefield. The stimulus of the desire to survive, the Soviet soldiers fought extremely crazy. Faced with the interception of machine guns and cannons, they rushed upwards completely by stepping on the corpse of their partners. After learning that the main force of the Soviet army broke north, Liu Mingzhao fell a big stone in his heart. In order to reduce losses and continue to paralyze Tiemushinge, he decisively ordered the four infantry divisions left in the north to fight and retreat. In this way, Tiemushinge's breakthrough was even smoother. In just one hour, the forward passed Alexander Drokaf.

Such ease made Temuxin more convinced that Xu Xiangqian's main force had been attracted by Vlasov to the west. But he was wrong! In fact, after receiving the warning and order from Liu Mingzhao, Xu Xiangqian immediately asked the boat bridge regiment to build a pontoon bridge thirty kilometers upstream, and then deliberately let the Soviet army discover that he led the main force across the bridge to the west. At this moment, he had led an armored division, a mechanic division and two Mojian divisions to turn around, parallel to Temuxinge across the river, and rushed to the backup pontoon bridge point. Sun Liren also led the 2nd Armored Division and the 101st Armored Division, as well as two Mojian divisions and a Kazakh Cavalry Division to take a long way to the northeast, with the arrow pointing directly to the necessary route of Temuxinge in the north, Dimiriyadevka.

After the pursuit troops set off, in order to continue to confuse Lu Jin who had cut off the rear, Liu Mingzhao deliberately took a stance that he had just learned about the enemy's breakthrough, ordered four mechanic and infantry divisions and 10 infantry divisions to attack Costana, and then sent the last 1 mechanic and infantry divisions and two wheeled chariot regiments in his hand to the west to support Wang Wenshan. The 14 divisions' fierce attack made Lu Jin feel unprecedented pressure, but also made the last trace of worry in his heart slowly dissipate. "Must defend!" In order to help Brother Timuxin get time, Liu Ming was given

Zhao's main force was attracted, so he simply went to the front line to cheer for the soldiers. Under his leadership, the Soviet army fought very tenaciously and withstood the National Defense Forces' charges many times. However, he, who had less than half of the main force, could not stop the rampage of hundreds of tanks. He persisted until four o'clock in the morning. After learning that 350,000 soldiers had already rushed out of the encirclement with Tiemuxinge, he decided to go west and join forces with Vlasov to break through the siege together. He tried to force Liu Mingzhao to divide his troops to pursue and resolve the pressure of the main force.

Lu Jin wanted to sacrifice himself for the opportunity to survive, but he didn't know that Liu Mingzhao had already dug a trap in front of Brother Timuxin.

Lack of reconnaissance methods. After losing air supremacy, Temuxinge did not know that he had become someone else's prey. His mind was all in Dimiriagevka in front. After crossing here, there was a huge forest in front. As long as he drilled into the forest, the Chinese National Defense Force would not be able to catch up quickly, and the Chinese Air Force could not play its advantage. After crossing the forest, it was Sergey Kav. Although the Moscow Central Army sent by Rokosovsky was blocked by Jiang Xianyun's five infantry divisions, he was completely sure to attack forward and back and quickly eat his opponent. Then he led the army back to Kurgan along the railway.

But just when the Soviet army assaulted arrows saw the edge of the forest, Xu Xiangqian's 19th Armored Division suddenly emerged from the forest. "Manja tiger!" The three words that made the Soviet army frightened again sounded from the wilderness. More than 200 36-type "Siorcea Tiger" main battle tanks and half-track infantry fighting vehicles made Tiemuxin's whole body cold. Then he understood why he could run 70 kilometers in just six hours without encountering any decent obstacles.

Without turning around, he could only grit his teeth and order an attack, trying to break through the opponent's interception and enter the forest. But the 19th Armored Division quickly told the Soviet army a truth: never fight against a reorganized armored division in the field at any time. In just one hour, the 19th Armored Division destroyed 72 t34/76 and more than 100 trucks, defeating the three forward divisions led by Major General Amolev. Faced with the almost invincible "Siorcelona Tiger" main battle tank, Major General Amolev had to ask for help from the main force behind. Timuxinge, who was forced to the desperate situation, also blushed his eyes, forgot that this was a wild plain, ordered the troops to launch a continuous fierce attack, and sent cavalry to act as suicide squads.

Faced with the situation where the rushing was a way out, the Soviet soldiers were completely red. They were all side by side, singing the international songs all the way, launching a pig-strike charge that resembles the Japanese army. The first row of soldiers fell, the second row followed, then the third row, and the fourth row... Countless soldiers shouted battle slogans, like wild boars arched everywhere in groups. In order to escape, even the elite Cossack cavalry tied anti-tank grenades and explosive packs to horseback many times and launched suicide charges on the tanks. The battle was extremely bloody. Although it was protected by thick armor, the 19th Armored Division still paid the price of 58 tanks and 43 semi-tracked infantry fighting vehicles being destroyed, and almost all of the division's armored infantry regiments were fought!

At this critical moment, the 592nd Armored Regiment led by Yang Tianlei arrived in time. "Scatter them! Climb up and use machine guns! Use machine guns more!" From the captain and battalion commander of the 1st Armored Division to the major commander of the 592nd Regiment of the 101st Armored Division, Yang Tianlei, who was rare to run in front of the army, probably had enough of a long-term "deliberate" protection. Not only did he order to give up long-distance artillery bombardment, but he also directly allowed his armored regiment to crush them along the Soviet storm queue. Although the name of the Central Guard Division gradually faded, the 101st Armored Division is second only to the First Armored Division in China, and its elite force is completely organized according to later standards. There are 118 36 Types of Siberian Tiger main battle tanks in just one regiment, and its actual combat capability is even greater than that of the Soviet army's two tank troops.

The heavy rain bullets, cold tracks, crushed corpses, and bloody scenes of blood splashing over the tank shells made the Soviet army's attack a blow. Faced with Yang Tianlei's reinforcements, Tiemuxin Ge, who had been completely stunned, even asked the troops to attack and shot several persuasive officers to break through. But as more and more corpses on the battlefield, the fanaticism of the Soviet soldiers gradually faded. They rushed for a night of rushing to break through and hours of fierce battle finally exhausted their last physical strength. Faced with Yang Tianlei's full power, many soldiers were even scared by the bloody tanks.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the main force led by Xu Xiangqian and Sun Liren came out from both sides at the same time. Hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops who sang war songs a few hours ago completely collapsed. 170,000 of the 350,000 Soviet troops were beaten to death on the spot, more than 40,000 disappeared or fled, and the rest were all captured. Tiemuxinge himself was also blown off one leg by the dive bomber that came and died of excessive blood loss.

His death also helped Yang Qiu open up a bloody road to Ural.
