Chapter 1024 Uranus Action (2)
"The battle is about to begin, and the headquarters ordered us to retreat to avoid being injured by accident."
Just as he quietly dropped a front-line communication station in the Third Reich, a soldier with a radio station on his back said to Chen Zhengyue.
Chen Zhengyue subconsciously raised her wrist and looked at her watch, and found that the time was really close.
He nodded and made a series of tactical gestures. The brothers of the Hunter Team quietly withdrew from the enemy communication station.
After joining Maxim's team, they began to evacuate the enemy's defense and retreat to the nearby mountains and forests.
Chen Zhengyue knew that for this Uranus operation, the total number of artillery investment between China and the Soviet Union will exceed 50,000.
The early artillery preparations will be earth-shaking. If you take the risk to be within the range of artillery fire, you may be accidentally injured.
There were still twenty or thirty squads like them who evacuated the enemy's defense line, and all the infiltration troops were as far away from the range of artillery as possible, waiting for the earth-shaking scene.
In the command of the front army of Mao Bear Don, Major General Malinin, Chief of Staff of the Front, said to General Rokosovsky:
"The Chinese army next to it has some movement, I wonder what the hell is doing?"
Rokosovsky lifted his head off the map and frowned:
"There is not much time left, don't worry about them for now. I'll ask you, are the troops in place?"
Chief of Staff Major General Ma Lining also temporarily threw the matters in China and replied:
"Don't worry, all the troops are ready. Once the war begins, the surging power will burst out, so that the fascists will not even have time to repent to God!"
Rokosovsky nodded, and his eyes looked at the bend of the Don River on the map.
"Manstein, this time you will feel the anger of the Soviet people!"

Uranus Operation Headquarters.
Jiangdong and Zhukov serve as commander-in-chief of Operation Uranus, and they are currently on the same level.
But Jiangdong is also the commander-in-chief of the Chinese armies and the actual helm of the country.
Therefore, in many cases, Jiangdong's words are more important than Zhukov's.
At 5 a.m. on June 5, the sky outside was still dark.
The final action time is less than an hour away, and the headquarters is full of people, so it is difficult for anyone to remain calm and composed at this time.
Jiangdong and Zhukov sat opposite each other, and among them was a huge battle sand table.
This sentence is popular in the army of Mao Bears:
"As soon as General Zhukov arrives, the attack will begin!"
From this sentence, we can see that all the Red Army officers and soldiers knew that Zhukov was strongly advocating attacks.
During the entire Patriotic War, some marshals were disgraced, while others were rising.
With his keen military thinking and unique command style, Zhukov gradually became the most trusted general in the Supreme Command.
At this moment, he was sitting opposite Jiangdong, smoking cigarettes one by one.
The look was shrouded in smoke, making it difficult to see clearly.
Jiang Dong curled the corners of his mouth, as if he thought Zhukov's performance was very interesting.
Chief of Staff Wu Zhan would whisper to Jiangdong from time to time, so that Jiangdong could always grasp the situation of the Western Expedition Army.
5:50, the sky was brighter than before, but it was still dark and hazy.
Jiangdong stood up and stretched his eyes to the south.
He seemed to see fifty thousand cannons with a black metallic luster standing in the darkness, with the black muzzle pointing to the sky, as if he would tear a hole into the darkness at any time.
Behind the artillery, the officers and soldiers of the artillery unit were on high alert.
Four or five thousand tanks lie near the hazy morning light farther away. They seem to be cheetahs preparing to hunt, accumulating strength and holding their breath to concentrate.
The propeller of the armed helicopter has not yet turned, but the cannon and rocket nests on her body have been filled, and the sight of her armed teeth makes her eyelids twitch.
The 2.5 million troops were in front of the artillery and behind the tank, and the bullets in their hands were already filled with guns, and their eyes were like torches; their hearts were beating rhythmically, and the sound of dongdong dong gradually accelerated.
Jiangdong withdrew his gaze and the blood flowing in his body was a little faster.
5:59 Wu Zhan and another senior Red Army staff member came to Jiangdong and Zhukov at the same time.
Jiangdong and Zhukov looked at each other and said:
"start!"
…………
At 6:00 am on June 5, 1943, Operation Uranus officially started, and the Eastern Front battlefield was about to usher in a major turning point.
"put!"
"fire!"
Various howitzers and cannons above 100 mm roared on the front line of nearly 1,000 kilometers!
At the same time, there was also a group of Zhong Kui, also called Katyusha.
At 6:00, the cannon's muzzle flame ignited the entire southern sky.
A fiery red or orange color appears in the sky.
"Swish swish swish swish..."
At that moment, at least fifty thousand shells were shot out from the muzzle.
Dense shells slashed over the heads of infantry and armored soldiers, and dim but clearly visible trails appeared in the sky.
2.5 million people looked up together, and at that moment their breathing stopped.
The air between heaven and earth was stirred, and as the roar of thousands of cannons roared, they made waves of cheerful or shrill chirping.
The next moment, countless continuous lightning and thunder appeared in the sky.
The explosion shone over the flames of the cannon muzzles, and the sky above the battlefield also changed into new colors.
In the eyes of the Allied soldiers in the distance, the scene of thousands of cannons firing together was spectacular, shocking, and morale was greatly increased. Some people even couldn't help but shout Ula.
But on the attacked side, the officers and soldiers of the Southern Army of the Third Reich were in great pain.
They felt dizzy and turned, and their bodies felt weaker and weaker in the shells falling like raindrops, and their thinking gradually became solidified. After thinking a lot, they seemed to think of nothing.
Whether it was a bunker made of sandbags or wood, they were destroyed under this massive fire strike.
The sand, rubble, and bricks and stones have become small and dust-like things, and are ruthlessly ravaged by the high temperature and pressure released by the bomb explosion, shock waves and debris, etc.
The earth shook and cried in the burning, reshaped in the cry.
The sky reflects the shock of the ground, the morning mist gradually dissipates, and the smoke of gunpowder rolls upwards.
"boom!"
The tank's engine also roared happily. With the command of attack, the tracks turned and the torrent of steel rushed towards the most shocking area in the world.
The soldiers followed behind the tank, and the excited eyes flashed with surging fighting spirit, reflecting the explosion of lightning.
The sky is burning, the earth is burning, and the 1,000-kilometer line of defense has become a line of fire.
Some people die and destroy in the line of fire, and some people advance towards the line of fire.
Chapter completed!
