Chapter 579: After several years, this land will grow flowers again
The artillery fire continued all night long, and then the Wehrmacht observers discovered the Crusaders who were struggling to crawl out of their positions.
The observer immediately reported the situation to Caddis.
Cadis immediately sent out scouts to investigate the situation at the front line, and the situation at the front line was quickly reported back.
That was last night, and almost the entire Crusader front did not get a good rest.
And more than 100,000 troops suffered artillery attacks of varying degrees. At first, some troops prepared to evacuate, but were stopped by their generals.
They could only endure the bombardment. According to incomplete statistics, the Crusaders lost at least more than 20,000 combat-capable soldiers last night.
And there are a lot of soldiers who are very tired because they have not slept all night...
Cadis immediately realized that this was a great opportunity, an opportunity that could change the course of the Kursk battle.
Caddis immediately ordered the front-line soldiers to launch a full-scale counterattack after an hour.
At present, the entrance to Kursk Plain has turned into a scorched earth.
Neither side would send more troops to the entrance, because everyone knew that whoever put troops there would be bombed...
So the Crusaders stayed away, fearing that they would be hit by shells again.
But after last night, after a round of bombing.
These Crusaders were obedient...
Originally they were planning to queue up for breakfast, but what they didn't know was that the opposing Wehrmacht had already completed their final preparations for the attack...
Across the entire front line, nearly 10,000 armored units have completed their assembly.
The two infantry armies with 40 troops are also ready to fight in coordination.
Gudley looked at the infantry regiment following the heavy tank battalion and a solemn expression appeared on his face.
Can these infantrymen hold their own against the Knights of Light?
Of course, Gudli shook his head. Others might not know how terrifying the Knights of Light are, but as an armored force, don’t they know it?
The Knight of Light has a glorious record of crushing the T34 in one fell swoop.
How can the infantry withstand it?
Wehrmacht soldiers are gathering and eating breakfast.
At the beginning, many infantrymen were optimistic about this war.
But as the war progressed, they gradually discovered that something was wrong.
The Wehrmacht found that the war was gradually deviating from the direction they had expected.
It turns out that this war is more of a stalemate.
At first they thought that the Wehrmacht would soon overwhelm the Papal States.
However, things went against their wishes. As the war progressed, the soldiers did not think that the Wehrmacht would fail, but they also felt that victory was far away...
The fear brought by the Knight of Light haunts them.
Cadis also knew how much harm the Knights of Light had caused to the soldiers of the National Defense Forces.
So he urgently needed a victory to prove that the Wehrmacht was not inferior to the Crusaders.
The soldiers finished their breakfast quickly, while the Crusaders on the opposite side were still enjoying their breakfast.
Although both sides fought to the death, there was an unwritten rule.
That is to try not to disturb each other while eating...
But the Crusaders' meal times were much higher than those of the Wehrmacht.
To use the original words of the Crusaders.
Meal time is sacred, the goddess is watching them, and their appearance and posture must be elegant.
Galina: ???
On the other side, the Wehrmacht had finished their meal and then began to prepare for the attack.
The soldiers are cheering each other on.
At an air force base far away in the Elf Empire, Stuka bombers have already taken off.
Rocket artillery units have also begun checking loaded rockets.
Blitzkrieg is all about speed, and the prerequisite for speed is abundant firepower.
Inside the Crusaders' position, they also vaguely felt that something was wrong.
For some reason, many soldiers felt their hearts were beating wildly.
Wendy Keller finished eating the delicious food on the plate, then waved her hand, signaling the maid beside her to throw away all the dozen dishes on the table.
After wiping his mouth gracefully, he walked out of the tent and looked at the magnificent battlefield in front of him.
There was an expression of immense pride on his face.
This is the Papal States! These are the millions of troops under my command!
Wendy Keller was instantly extremely proud and struck a self-righteous pose, instantly attracting the attention of a group of people around her, but her handsomeness did not last more than three seconds.
There was a dense whistling sound in the air.
The Wehrmacht bombardment came again...
Wendy Keller hurriedly and awkwardly hid in a nearby bomb shelter.
The entire Crusader camp was instantly thrown into chaos.
Although they were originally in a state of disarray, after being bombarded several times, they no longer dared to gather in groups.
But now they still seem to be in a panic facing the bombardment.
At first they thought it was just a normal morning light shelling.
Now every day the Wehrmacht was pouring artillery fire and ammunition on the Crusaders.
This prevented the Crusaders from advancing.
But the fire this morning was particularly fierce.
Wendy Keller gradually discovered that something was wrong.
Today's artillery fire is really outrageous...
It would take several minutes to hide in the anti-gun cave and be covered in dust.
But today was different. In less than half a minute, dust fell on Wendy Keller like rain in the distinguished air-raid shelter where she was.
Wendy Keller was completely numb.
But he soon reacted.
No! This is going to be bad!
However, Wendy Keller just stood up and was about to order the soldiers to defend.
A Gustav shell hit his air-raid shelter...
Because the Wehrmacht already had detailed knowledge of Wendy Keller's whereabouts.
Wendy Keller makes high-profile appearances every day, so many people in the Crusaders have long been dissatisfied with him.
In addition, these Heavenly Defense Forces reconnaissance teams captured a number of Crusader soldiers.
From them I learned about Wendy Keller's daily schedule.
Before Wendy Keller could even get out of the door, she was hit by a Gustav bullet and her life or death was instantly unknown.
The command found that they could not contact Wendy Keller...
At this time, the National Defense Forces had already set their sights on this opportunity...
While Wendy Keller's command post was under attack, Caddis immediately ordered an all-out attack.
The rocket launchers also began to fire, and dense rockets whizzed past.
It smashed into the Crusaders' position which was at a loss.
The Crusaders were stunned for a moment...
They didn't even finish their breakfast...
The pots, pans, and themselves were blown up into the sky...
They never figured out until their death why they were bombed even though they were clearly at a safe distance.
Because the so-called 37-kilometer safety distance is just a trick of the National Defense Forces...
(Good night, I'll go home tomorrow (T ^ T))
