The first day of the German invasion of the Soviet Union passed.

The German Legion coming out of Brest fortress crippled and surrounded the front Soviet 14th mechanized army.

During the day, the tank troops of the 14th mechanized army also had a fierce battle with the German tank troops, and killed several German tanks in the battle, but it was useless.

At noon, under the attack of German attack aircraft overhead and the encirclement and annihilation of German tanks around, the 14th mechanized army ushered in their demise.

Tanks are on fire and burning, and Soviet soldiers are fighting bravely. Unfortunately, they have no chance of winning. They can't compare with Germany in terms of quantity, quality and quality.

At night, they had only a dozen tanks left. At the same time, their infantry were surrounded by the German army.

At this time, the Soviet army had realized the bad. Major general Oberlin, the commander, said to his deputy, "come on, call our reinforcements!"

When he received the order, his troops were close to the front line and caught up. At the same time, he knew that there must be other troops moving towards Brest fortress behind him. Now, if he wants to get rid of the danger of being surrounded, he must notify the military region and the troops behind him to clear the encirclement.

"General, our radio has been strongly disturbed and cannot communicate effectively with the rear." Said the deputy.

The radio of this era only used on-off to represent signals. Even in this way, Germany did not let go. It implemented strong radio interference and completely failed their radio communication.

"It seems that we can only send someone out, find some cavalry, rush out of the bag circle and report back in the dark." Major general Oberlin was preoccupied.

Using signal soldiers to contact is still the main way of this era. Now if we can't get reinforcements, I'm afraid our troops will be destroyed.

At this time, a bright light appeared in the distance again. It was the flame of the other party's muzzle, and a new round of shelling began again. It seems that the Germans are going to siege all night!

The 14th mechanized army, with a full strength of more than 30000, actually 18000. On the first day of the war, the mechanized army disappeared organically in the middle of the night.

At this time, the 9th mechanized army on another front was moving forward with great efforts.

"Come on, come on, speed up. We're going to block the German attack!" At this time, the 9th mechanized army was frantically on its way.

As a mechanized Soviet army, the 9th army has the 20th and 35th tank divisions, the 131st mechanized division and the 32nd mechanized regiment, with a full strength of more than 30000.

During the day, in order to speed up, general rokosovsky, the army commander, asked the tank division to advance first and left the mechanized division behind.

The mechanization division spent this day running, trotting all the way with their weapons. Needless to say, those who carried machine guns, that is, those soldiers carrying ordinary rifles, and the grenades on their hips hurt.

However, they didn't mean to stop at all. On this day, they advanced 100 kilometers.

Such a speed seems to be nothing to future generations. If there is a car, it will arrive in an hour, but now, the complete march on foot, which is 100 kilometers, is definitely a deadly distance.

If you march on foot normally, 30 kilometers a day is the absolute limit.

At night, the 131st mechanized division was completely unable to move. Even if a military order was issued, the soldiers lay in the mud and gasped.

The tank division also has a large number of infantry. They are good enough to move forward on tanks, but unfortunately, when they have moved more than 200 kilometers, they have to stop and their fuel is running out.

Colonel katukov, commander of the 20th tank division, was ill and did not lead troops. He was led by deputy commander chernyayev.

At this time, he sat next to a T-34 tank and was discussing with his commanders.

"Now, we must find out the location of the German main force." Alexander, head of the subordinate tank regiment, said: "now, the situation on the front line is too chaotic."

Everything is extremely chaotic. Although they are moving forward, they don't know where the German main force is. In this way, they can easily hit the German main force.

Although they were ordered to block the German main force, at this time, they must know the situation opposite.

The combat effectiveness of the German tank force is quite strong.

"Anyway, we can't move now. Just send our scouts to investigate 20 kilometers ahead of us." Cherniaev said.

Their fuel truck is still far behind. Before the fuel truck arrives, they have little possibility to continue their action, so it's time for them to investigate.

Two years ago, chernyayev was just a company commander, and he was also the company commander of the infantry company. He was also inexperienced.

When the tank troops were moving forward, they had to deploy a large number of scouts in front of them. Unexpectedly, at this time, they remembered to use scouts to investigate the opposite side.

At this time, just outside their temporary station, German scouts were looking at it.

In the first few wars, the reconnaissance soldiers of German armored forces used motorcycles, which were small and light, with good cross-country performance.

Later, with the continuous updating of equipment, the scouts finally changed into wheeled infantry combat vehicles. The advantage of this infantry combat vehicle is that it runs more stably and carries more weapons, such as recoilless guns. After encountering the opponent's tanks, it can fight back.

After several wars, the wheeled infantry combat vehicles also showed fatigue. The new general-purpose tracked chassis infantry combat vehicles began to equip a large number of troops.

However, after all, a large number of the original wheeled infantry combat vehicles are still in service and cannot be eliminated in this way, so they are still dominated by this kind of chassis.

Today's scouts are driving this 8 * 8 all wheel drive SD KFZ 232 heavy armored vehicle to the outside of the Soviet armored force's station and look at their queue with night vision.

"We have found a large number of Soviet tank troops resting. Report to our troops quickly!" Cried the Scout excitedly.
