The white ceiling looked extremely clean, and the sound of birds outside the window gave the place a hint of vitality.▃▇ ▅u▇8 Net▆. When Ren opened his eyes, everything in front of him no longer had the smell of gunpowder, as if the world had restored peace and ended the terrible war.

However, he knew that the war would not end, at least it would not end easily at present. Heart-wrenching pain came from the wounds on his body, declaring that he had not been injured for a long time, which also means that he had not been sleeping for a long time.

The bed lying beneath him was brand new, with a terrible smell of disinfectant. The wooden bed also had a soft bedding, the quilt looked soft and good texture. There was a nightstand next to the bed with a vase. He had a clean and tidy room alone, and there was a small window beside him.

"Captain Renn, are you awake?" A female nurse walked into Renn's ward. She held the record book in her hand. Seeing Renn open her eyes, she asked with a smile: "It's a great honor to be responsible for taking care of you. My name is Ivana, Ivana Rita."

"Where am I...?" Renn spoke with difficulty. He found that his voice was a little out of tune. Anyone who had been unconscious for a long time would feel that his voice was a little strange. He was confused by his strange voice for a moment, and then looked at the other party and waited for the answer.

The female nurse smiled and replied, "This is the best hospital in Kiev. As an officer wounded officer, you are sent here, and you usually only receive officers. I was transferred from a hospital in Berlin and the head nurse here. I have heard of your deeds. You are almost the hero of the whole Germany...at least one of the heroes."

Renn squeezed out a smile embarrassedly. He thought the nurse was talking about the matter of preventing the Soviets from circumventing the imperial teacher's retreat, but unfortunately he was unable to complete the task of saving the world.

Although the Soviet Union's roundabout troops collapsed, their crazy assaults elsewhere caused heavy blows to the German army. The G Army eventually gave up the defense line and the Soviet Red Army attacked Belgorod Oblast on the entire line. The German army lost almost 150,000 people in this battle, of which 70,000 were recruits from the rear, and the other 80,000 were elite troops in the G Army.

The heavy losses of the G Army not only eventually gave up the large-scale occupied areas, but also sent about 30,000 Romanian prisoners and 20,000 Italian prisoners before stabilizing the defense line. In other words, even if the German losses near Stalingrad were excluded, the G Army had defeated almost 20,000 soldiers just south of Kursk.

At the same time, in order to annihilate these 20,000 Axis soldiers, the Soviet Union lost more than 50,000 elite soldiers.▇▅u8▃小▅计▆-,.=c,o/m These soldiers were not mobilized soldiers in Stalingrad, nor were the new recruits who had just been added, but veterans who had experienced several large-scale battles.

The strategic deployment of the German army to the north was completely paralyzed by the Soviet army, and the plan to attack Moscow was completely bankrupt. Some newly established armored troops and some rear troops urgently moved closer to the G Army, barely taking advantage of the opportunity of the Soviet Union's weak attack and blocked the hole behind Guderian.

On May 12, the Soviet Union first regained the important city of Belgorod on the front battlefield, and this city became the first city on the Soviet battlefield to be recaptured by the Soviet army. Although the Soviet Red Army took the initiative to stop the attack south after that, it also excited all hostile forces to Germany.

Yuan Akado had to deliver the famous speech "The Flag of Victory is Destined to Be Stained by Blood" in his mansion. In order to inspire the people not to be afraid of huge sacrifices. According to official German statistics, the beginning of the Soviet-German War has been the beginning of the Soviet-German War until now, and the German army and its servants have lost a total of 730,000 soldiers. Although the whole of Germany is not as plain as the whites, the actual situation is almost the same. More and more people fell in the war, and the front line has become more and more difficult and bloody.

Germany's strategy was set, and the plan to siege Moscow was completely suspended. Instead, it had to passively strengthen the defensive force in the direction of Kharkov. The just formed and unfinished o army was barely filled with this defense line. Commander General Reichnau tried his best and only stopped the Soviets from continuing to attack.

If the Soviets had not lacked heavy weapons and suffered too shocking losses in the armored forces and took the initiative to stop moving south, the German army might have been at risk of collapse throughout the southern theater.

Guderian's role in fighting Zhukov at all costs to the last moment in the area south of Kursk was finally reflected ten days later. The Soviet Red Army lost its counterattack power and stopped the attack completely after capturing Belgorod.

Not only Guderian's G Army had dried up its blood during the attack, but Zhukov's southward attack cluster also suffered unprecedented losses during the attack. How big is this loss? Just look at the vast land in the entire area south of Kursk and the tank wreckage discarded everywhere.

The Soviet Union lost about 17oo main tanks, as well as more than 9oo tanks in 4o days. This shows that among the 17oo tanks that were lost in front, all the elite KV-1 type, KV-1b type, as well as the precious T-34 tanks and Stalin tanks.u8▆小█网.=The losses of these tanks were not replenished in the short term by the Soviet Union. Therefore, Zhukov's offensive cluster could only watch the German troops strengthen the Kharkov defense line that was close to each other, but there was no way.

Of course, the losses of the elite German armored forces are absolutely unforgettable. The 1st Panzer Army lost 60% of its own tanks and vehicles. More than 39o tanks were destroyed by the Soviet Red Army, and the Imperial Division killed four-fifths. As a firefighter, the 5o2 heavy tank destroyer, only 7 of them were left. The German armored troops, known as the world's invincible, then retreated in Kursk.

The Luftwaffe also lost more than 27o of aircraft of various models in this failure, which became the battle with the German 6 Air Force losing the most troops since the war started. Although more than two-thirds of these aircraft were shot down by Soviet ground artillery fire, the Soviet Air Force was also fighting for local air supremacy to the death, which put a lot of pressure on the Luftwaffe.

Compared with the 7oo aircraft lost by the Soviet Air Force, the Luftwaffe undoubtedly achieved a tactical victory. Compared with the Soviet air defense basically relies on ground artillery, most of the Soviet aircraft were eliminated by the Luftwaffe fighter troops. This shows that Germany still firmly grasps the battlefield air supremacy, and also shows that the Soviet Air Force is restoring its strength and no longer allowing a small number of German aircraft to roam the front airspace.

In short, Renn later learned that the Battle of Kursk was actually the retreat of the G Army and the German army ended with the defeat. In the entire Battle of Kursk, both sides lost a total of 321o tanks; almost 1ooo aircraft was shot down; the loss of more than 70,000 infantrymen.

The largest battle in human history and the largest number of tanks mobilized, ended with Zhukov's victory over Guderian. The Soviet Red Army took the opportunity to counterattack and regained some of the lost ground, but in the end, because the losses were too huge, they were forced to give up the opportunity to expand the results and completely lost the opportunity to encircle the southern German cluster.

It is not surprising that the Soviet Union made this achievement with its last legacy. Zhukov used the period when the German army's troops were most dispersed to achieve a counterattack advantage in the local area. Because after hyping up the great victory of regaining the main city, all the Soviet leaders must rethink a very important question: Once the frontal German Army A Group attacks Moscow, what should the remaining old, weak and remnants of the Moscow war zone do?

"My crew... are they all okay?" Renne didn't care about the battlefield situation that he couldn't worry about. He was more concerned about the people he knew and the familiar faces he knew. He knew that at this time he could lie in the quiet rear instead of nestling in the messy field hospital, so that Germany's strategic situation would not be much worse.

Compared to how many positions Guderian lost and how many casualties there were in Germany, he was more concerned about how Alice was, Marcus, Andre and Bruce...

Suddenly he remembered Bauman, the man who loved his car like his wife, the feeling of driving a tank smoothly, and the tacit understanding of his parking shooting.

"Captain Rennes, there was only one person when you were sent, and I don't know what the other people you mentioned were like." The nurse replied gently: "Maybe they are receiving treatment in other field hospitals, and you may have to look for a lot of documents and forms to find them."

They will not be left on the battlefield, are they? Become a prisoner of the Soviets? Maybe they were also taken back to the hospital safely? Andre and Bruce are still lying in the ruins of the tank. Will they be revealed? Renne's mind was in a mess. Obviously, his current injuries do not allow him to continue thinking like this.

"Can you do me a favor? Help me find out whereabouts of my crew members. I really want to know how they are now." Ren had no choice but to stop thinking, but threw this difficult problem directly to the female nurse. Since the superiors sent her to take care of her, it is absolutely natural to use it appropriately.

"The survival rate of armored soldiers is not high, Captain Rennes. If you insist on searching, I can submit your application for you, but don't have too much hope. After all, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment." The female nurse finished speaking softly, and showed a reluctant smile.

Ren wanted to tell her that her tank had not caught fire and was destroyed. After all, she shook her head slightly and closed her eyes.
