On the night of July 17, Commander Xie Miao Budunny from the front line of Kiev suddenly received a secret order directly from St. Dalin. Then a strange army passed through the defense from Moscow to the front. The person who led the lead looked only in his forties, with a major general with a rank and a stereotyped appearance. He had no awe in his face, and even had a hint of arrogance on his face, as well as a very unpleasant disdain.

Commander Budonnie was in a state of anxiety at this time, and was very angry, and had no energy. He looked up and down with a cold face, then looked back at the group of guys wearing strange and fancy clothes, strange armor, and completely closed helmets, and asked coldly: "What's wrong with you? I don't remember having such a number!"

The warrant brought by the arrogant major general coincides with the code name in the telegram of Stalin and is called the "X Group". Their hat badges and armbands are black-backed and red Roman letters x. The vehicles they ride are obviously high-end military-grade off-road vehicles smuggled from China. Everyone is very luxurious to ride in armored vehicles. Even large trucks are wrapped in airtight. From the outside, they can't even see the situation inside the cab clearly--it is clearly single-transparent glass!

If such a group of strange guys had not had the correct command, had a clear race and a clear origin, it really made people wonder if they were the great Soviet Red Army.

Major General Anthony Romanov replied coldly: "Comrade Commander! We are armed forces directly led by Comrade Shi Dalin and are the most powerful combat corps of the great Soviet Union! This time, we are ordered to help you guard Kiev and prevent fascist Germany from invading Moscow. Next, we will have a large number of secret weapons to move in one after another. Please cooperate as much as possible and do a good job of confidentiality!"

Budonny's forehead veins jumped around, and he almost pulled out his pistol and gave the rude guy a round. The situation was bad enough, and there were people coming out to cause trouble for him. Don't they know that the current situation is a total chaos. Isn't it possible to solve it with one or two so-called special weapons?!

However, this guy was holding Comrade Shi Dalin's handwriting in his hand! Thinking of the cruelty of the Great Purge and the miserable consequences of the other three marshals, the commander immediately lost his temper and sighed secretly, saying: "Okay! I also want to see how powerful the troops trusted and relied on by Comrade Shi Dalin can exert their combat effectiveness!"

It is not good to know too much, and it is a rhythm of seeking death to fight against St. Dalin. Budonie hopes that someone will help him with the thunder. The German army on the opposite side is coming to attack on three sides. Even if he has a huge army of up to 1.5 million people under his command, he has no confidence. The previous battle was going on so bad that he couldn't think of a better way to stop the torrent of German chariots.

Major General Anthony Romanov just greeted the military salute like an errand, and did not say a word, and immediately turned around and entered his troops. Soon, at the request of Commander-in-Chief Budunny, a defense zone was set aside at the forefront of the Uman battlefield. All the troops quickly withdrew, and then the X regiment rushed in.

In name, it is a regiment. In fact, it is a unit as big as a division in number. It replaces the entire army's defense zone. Except for a batch of 122mm howitzers, the rest of the bulky weapons, including tanks, are not allowed. Under the strange eyes of the other troops, these strange guys with heads and faces are left alone, stuffing their piles of equipment into fortifications and positions.

A large number of heavy towing trucks rumbled in, dragging behind their butts. A vehicle wrapped in camouflage canvas opened, and it was a bunch of rocket launchers with thick pipes, larger, longer and thicker than the common Katyusha!

One heavy artillery showed off, and the crawler self-propelled cannon with at least 203mm was a powerful B4 howitzer! The big guys who rarely equipped the front-line troops were basically equipped here, and as many as 12 of them were out!

Then, the larger-caliber br-5 mortar cannon, with a terrible caliber of 280mm, and the thick and short tube can stuff the terrible guy in the terrible guy who is clumsy and heavy, mixed in it, silently lifting up, releasing a captivating murderous intent!

After these guys finished displaying, an armored combat vehicle drove over from behind the troops scattered from all directions. The leader looked two laps larger than the T-34 tanks they installed in a small number, and was larger than the KV-1 and 2 models used in the front line. The erect gun barrel was a 73.5 times 107mm gun!

This is a kv-4 heavy tank that has just been mass-produced! It is a behemoth of up to 60 tons, a 180mm armor thickness, and a terrifying main gun with a 47mm secondary cannon on the top of the terrible main gun and three heavy machine guns. When it moves, the earth will collapse is terrifying!

Commander Budonnie was coldly watching their array from the side. He looked like he was not fussing, but he was secretly surprised. Such a unit was actually a super heavy weapon. What kind of organization are they? I'm afraid that only Shi Dalin personally intervened can bring so many treasures together. Hum, it seems that the Germans might have to throw them out with great force!

But this is not all! Behind the passage specially opened for the X regiment, more equipment was still moving forward quickly. Just after a round of the best fighter jets counterattacked wildly, temporarily forcing the overwhelming German Air Force back, four airships slowly drove over from the rear. The behemoth of more than 200 meters was almost wiped against the ground and flew forward. The end of the thick steel cable hanging below was a huge group of things that were not completely dragged up, but just helped it move forward quickly on the larger and bulky buffer track chassis, just like a boating on a dry land.

As the Uman front line approached, the steel ropes of the airship were uncoupled one after another. With a rumbling roar, two steel monsters as big as three or four floors were slowly opened from the stretched chassis to the ground. The moment the tracks that were as wide as one and a half meters wide collided and crushed, people nearby could feel the impact like an earthquake!

Those were two unprecedentedly huge strange chariots! The flat and stable body looked like a length of about twenty meters, with nearly ten meters wide, with a ferocious and erect thick armor on the edge, as well as various caliber guns and cannons as dense as branches. The huge turret on the top was two spiral-like spikes that extended forward. There were faint blue arcs between each other and kept shining. Behind the left and right, the erect secondary cannons trembled 76.2mm tubes, and when they moved, they looked like prehistoric mammoth elephant!

The average low-level officer and soldier were not qualified to move forward, but Budonnie was at the scene. He watched the giant creature crushing through his eyes in amazement, and his shocked heart almost stopped beating!

What a terrible guy! I really don’t know what kind of weird thing can be created by someone. It weighs at least 500 tons, right? It can still run! I don’t know what a spectacular scene it was when it was launched!

Not finished yet! Not long after, four airships towed two trailers, and the big guys who drove down finally had a familiar appearance, but when Commander Budonnie saw two 305mm thick gun barrels standing under the camouflage net that was lifted, it was immediately messy... Damn it, when can you remove all the main guns of the battleship for the army to use!

He knew about the Soviet army's heavy train guns, but they were all used to defend the rear and did not drive to the front line. In this situation, air supremacy is almost impossible to seize. It only provides a larger target for the Germans. There is no time left.

But the big guy in front of you is completely different! It seems that he can move forward freely on the flat ground and can move maneuver. If he can withstand the terrible recoil, you can imagine how shock it will cause if the 305mm shells blasted into the enemy!

Sure enough... it is worthy of being the power that Comrade Shi Dalin personally mastered! If such a group of monsters can still run on the battlefield, not only has super attack power, but also has absolutely great ability to resist strikes. The key is, how did they drive it? You must know that the land in Ukraine is fertile enough, and once it rains or comes the muddy period in spring, it will definitely be a thing that will fall!

This must be a secret. Budjuni doesn't need to think about it. If it weren't for the inside story that he didn't know, there wouldn't be a special number for such a bunch of guys alone.

Then wait and see how far they can perform! Hopefully, it can really play a positive role and make those crazy Germans hit the head-on!

The battle will come soon!

The German army responsible for the offensive mission here was the first armored cluster led by General Paul Ludwig Evald von Kleist. As the vanguard, there were three armored divisions, each division had a super "giant rat" chariot, equipped with several second-level guys using 150mm cannons, crushing them all the way and invincible!

After breaking through here, a pressure on the northern part of Uman was formed, and threatened the direction of Kiev. It can be said that they were a force that must be stopped. Otherwise, not only will the main force of Uman's Soviet army be surrounded and cut open, or even annihilated, whether Kiev can be maintained depends on how well the battle is.

With the smooth breakthroughs over the past few days, the German army was full of morale and had a full contempt for the incompetence and weakness exposed by the Soviet army from top to bottom. Even though the number of enemies on the opposite side was definitely not large, the thickness of the German army was obviously not enough. General Paul von Klester did not feel even a little nervous. He firmly believed that under his own attack, nothing could stand.

The Soviet front, which had been bombed in the air for several days, was silent. The German armored group that had been resting for a while, rushed out like a tide, and spread a sparse front dozens of kilometers wide all over the mountains and fields, and rushed forward!

In the rear, thousands of heavy artillery fired, spanning more than ten kilometers like a storm, and constantly smashing shells on the frontline of the Soviet defense line. The shells sprayed by the self-propelled artillery were mixed in, forming a continuous erosion of deep killing, and constantly exuding terrible killing power. The suppressed Soviet army could not raise its head at all!

In just half an hour, hundreds of Leopard-1 tanks rushed to the front with one horse, and while firing alternately, they successfully ran over the broken wire, collapsed trenches, and anti-tank positions, and rushed into the market town that was rolling out, preparing to destroy the fortress on the road of marching in one fell swoop!

Suddenly, a harsh roar suddenly came from the air ahead! The whistling like a train passing through a tunnel at high speed made my scalp tight and my heart numb. A huge and irresistible force was contained in it, followed by a thunderous roar that suddenly rushed in, and a series of thick shells smashed fiercely between the defensive lines, and exploded gorgeously!

"Boom---!"

The deafening loud noise was over ten kilometers, and stunning fireworks burst out dozens of tons of soft mud and hundreds of tons soared into the sky. It was dozens of meters high, and it could be seen clearly from a distance! The unexpected German tank was shaking by the explosion tide nearby, and the body of the vehicle was trembling violently. Even the whole thing was turned over. The powerful armor could not withstand the terrible explosive force, causing the broken pieces, squeezed and deformed, and the tracked armor pieces flew together, huh!

One wave, ten, and another wave, another explosion with a slightly weaker power, one after another, at least twenty explosions were mixed together, each of which could burst out a large pit of more than ten meters wide, and the shock wave knocked down and shattered half a village's large forest. The fragments of trees were splashed in the sky, scattering one after another. It was so spectacular!

The German division commander who led the troops to attack seemed to have a slap in the head, watching the dozens of tanks in front of him drowned in the earth-shaking explosion. From the height of the rising fireworks, the size of the sound, the intensity of the vibration, it was easy to judge. There were at least 203mm grenades, or even larger caliber shells!

Is it the Soviet army's 254mm heavy artillery? Or is it a 280mm mortar?! Or, both models are available?! Damn, didn't the Air Force say that they had all destroyed it? When did they come back again! Just one night's time?!

However, this was not enough to make him mentally disturbed. The German army was well prepared for the possible resistance. The tanks that followed the follow-up immediately avoided at high speed, and concentrated the Leopard-1 tank, which was crystallized by advanced Chinese and German technology. It weighed only 35-42 tons, had strong power, high flexibility, and fast off-road speed. If you find something wrong, you will immediately avoid it to the side and run out of the strike area.

The experienced officers knew very well that the larger the caliber artillery, the slower the firing speed and extremely poor accuracy. In order to prevent it from being destroyed by air strikes, the Soviet army must have set up a scattered backwards. After firing, it is difficult to change the firing of various elements. In just one or two minutes, the tank group can easily avoid one or two kilometers away. It is impossible to aim!

Rush! Rush up and kill them!

The leopard-1 tanks rushing out of the smoke from the front passed through the trench and rushed to the unknown enemy rear without fear. They believed that it only took more than ten minutes to find the guys who were dodging like mice, and then easily crushed them with sharp main guns!

But at this moment, a shocking roar suddenly came between the collapsed buildings and the burning woods, and the earth was trembling. Then, more than a dozen scary big guys rushed out like ghosts, and the thick gun barrels pointed majesticly forward, crunched above a piece of building fragments, and shot down from a high point, opening fire at the German assault tank!

"collapse!"

The dull sound of the bombardment of the 107mm long-body tube cannon made people feel a kind of cardiac arrest. The scattered air wave reopened the smog. The thick warhead drew a straight trajectory and suddenly flew out a kilometer away, smashing into the front armor of the Leopard-1 tank, knocking the Germans' self-strong defense hard. The huge kinetic energy shattered the solid steel collision, swept inward, and beat the crew into meat sauce!

The fire was really big enough, which attracted the attention of the rushing German army at once. Immediately, several times the Leopard-1 tank rushed over fearlessly, three-pinned bags, aiming and attacking from different distances.

But their 75mm long-barrel tank gun, which they had always been unfavorable, unexpectedly failed. Even if the shells hit the front face of the KV-4 heavy tank accurately, they could not penetrate the 180mm steel plate. After the explosion left a dazzling flame, the big guy was still moving forward steadily and firing!

Fortunately, they were not fighting alone! The Leopard-2 equipped with an 88mm main gun was mixed in the middle and responded immediately, aiming the main gun with extremely strong penetration ability at the huge target and fired continuously. After several shots, it finally achieved results. However, the result was not optimistic at all. They still couldn't break the front armor smoothly, but the number advantage was that they could hit the rest of the weak parts from the side. The powerful steel monster would not be paralyzed immediately. They were still stably and continuously firing!

"Damn it! Do the Soviets want to make the final struggle?"

The heads of the German armored division who found the problem from the rear were very upset by this and decisively ordered the Tiger tank equipped with 105mm guns to rush forward and let the 150mm heavy gun e-100 tank follow up from behind to provide long-range fire support and suppress and fire the enemy's artillery fire.

There were not only a dozen heavy tanks of the Soviet army. In the fierce battle, more and more big guys surged out from the depths of the position, increasing to fifty or sixty, as if they couldn't see the end!

Moreover, among them, some equally strong guys joined the strike array, with thicker muzzles, heavy body as heavy as the vehicle body, longer range, tortuous ballistics, and stronger killing power--there is an is-2 heavy tank equipped with a 122mm howitzer!

Under the continuous pressure of the Japanese Army and Chinese armored forces, the Soviet army's armored weapons manufacturing has been continuously upgraded, constantly eliminating those unpractical old turret varieties, such as T-35, and simply retired. The increasingly thicker muzzles and thicker armor have forced the Russians to continuously improve the overall strength. After all the old things on the front line have been destroyed, T34 has become the weakest.
