Brilliant Sword: Fighting against the Xixi System One Hundred Thousand Japanese Army

As if the tank troops charging forward did not worry about being cut off by the Germans behind them, they rushed forward.

When Wei Kes, commander of Army Group B, received the information that the Italian Eighth Army was defeated, he felt a little inexplicable.

Wei Kesi was not surprised that Mao Xiong would choose to attack the defense area where the Italian 8th Army was located, but was surprised that the Italian 8th Army was broken through so quickly.

Wei Kes said angrily: "Trash! This group of Italian pigs can't even hold out for a whole morning. Fortunately, the head of state trusts them so much. That's how they repay the head of state!"

Weikes asked the communications staff officer, "Tell me about the specific situation. Is there any chance of saving it now?"

The communications staff officer shook his head: "According to what we know, it is very difficult to save."

“意大利的第2、3、5、9、52师的中部防区已经被完全摧毁，整个意大利第8集团军全线崩溃。”

"A large number of officers and soldiers began to flee, and the headquarters needed to be transferred from the location. They have lost contact with the troops."

"More officers tore off rank identification tags, and soldiers lost machine guns, rifles, and equipment."

After hearing the narration of the communications staff officer, Wei Kes had only one thought in his heart, 'It's over!It's over! '

The current position has been completely occupied by Mao Xiong.

Weikes looked at the map, looking for the troops on the map that could go to support as soon as possible. Once the Maoxiong troops crossed the Don River, the Southern Army Group would have nothing to do but capture them.

While looking for troops, Weikes muttered, "Since Mao Xiong's troops have become so powerful, they broke through all the defense lines of the Italian 8th Army in just one morning."

The Italian troops also fought with the Germans. Although Wei Kesi despised the Italians, he still had some understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Ali people.

It is not easy to break through the Italian defense line in just one morning.

最后魏克斯急忙抽调了第11装甲师、第27装甲师、第294步兵师、第385步兵师、第387步兵师以及洛尼亚第14师。

Two armored divisions and four infantry divisions, in Wei Ke's opinion, are enough to block Mao Xiong's assault group anyway, and even launch a counterattack.

The position of the German 11th Armored Division was the closest to the breakout area. They were going to rescue Paulus, but they didn't expect that Mao Xiong's troops broke through the defense line of the Italian 8th Army and needed their rescue.

The 11th Armored Division of the German Army immediately turned around and rushed towards the vanguard of the 2nd Chinese Army.

The tactic of the German armored units was to turn around and attack the bear's tank from the rear.

For this group of German armored units, there is two good news and two bad news.

The good news is that the 11th Armored Division has new Tiger tanks.

The bad news is that the 11th Armored Division has only 47 tanks in total.

The good news is that the 11th Armored Division did not encounter the vanguard of the Chinese Second Army.

The bad news is that the 11th Armored Division was spotted by an aerial reconnaissance plane as soon as it set off.

Under the guidance of the reconnaissance plane, several Su-25s rushed over immediately and wiped out these moving iron bastards on the ground.

The German 11th Panzer Division was killed without even seeing the enemy anywhere.

The German 27th Panzer Division was wiped out without even finishing its build-up.

Because the 27th Armored Division of the German Army is in Kandemilovka, which is the resistance stronghold behind the German Army and an important transportation hub connecting Army Group B and Army Group Don.

In line with the fine tradition of carrying out full-depth strikes on the enemy as soon as the war started, Kandemilovka became the focus of the bombers.

Therefore, not only the 27th Armored Division of the German Army, but also the 385th Infantry Division and the 387th Infantry Division of the German Army were all heavily bombed.

Important facilities throughout Kandemilovka were blown into countless ruins.

The two armored divisions considered to be the pillars were annihilated before the battle began.

Only two infantry divisions remained facing the tank formations.

Facing the German infantry units rushing up, the vanguard mobilized 122 rockets to bomb first, and finally the tanks rolled over directly from the position.

The powerful firepower tore apart the direction of the four German divisions. The anti-tank trenches built by the Germans were flattened under the heavy bombing, and the tanks passed through directly.

Those small-scale German troops and single German soldiers could not stop the advance of the tanks at all.

As the position was breached, the German army also knew that they could not stay. If they stayed here, they would be surrounded just like they surrounded Mao Xiong a year ago.

The German army immediately withdrew from the position and ran back, trying to withdraw under the dense "gun rain".

At this time, the German army no longer knew where the front was and where the rear was, because the German army found that violent explosions were happening everywhere, and there were tank troops everywhere.

When Manstein was still worried about the breakout of Paulus' Sixth Army, he didn't know that Manstein's Don Army had also been surrounded.

The communications staff rushed into the headquarters in a hurry: "Report! General, our rear Kandemilovka has been carpet-bombed by bear bombers and has lost its ability to resist."

"We suspect that the bear's tank unit should be nearby. If we hurry up, we can occupy Kandemilovka today!"

Manstein turned pale with shock after hearing the report, his pupils were filled with disbelief.

Manstein asked like a cannonball: "What bear's troops have arrived near Kandemilovka?"

"When did this happen? Why did you tell me now?"

"When did the bear attack? When did it cross the Don River?"

"What is the Italian 8th Army doing!"

"Where are the enhanced flank security forces promised by the Führer?"

"Why doesn't Wei Kes send troops to support?"

Obviously, the communications staff had no way to answer Manstein's series of questions.

The communications staff could only report truthfully: "According to the news we received, Mao Xiong launched an attack this morning."

After hearing this, Manstein became even more angry: "Absurd! The attack launched by Maoxiong in the morning has now arrived in Kandemilovka. Can their tanks fly?"

"Right now, investigate what happened and where Mao Xiong's troops are, and then report to me. I don't need such worthless information!"

After being reprimanded, the communications staff could only go back and send telegrams to all parties to make inquiries.
