The bridge on the stri river was blown up, which finally gave the 9th mechanized army of the Soviet Union a chance to breathe. At this time, they already knew the news that their 20th tank division was destroyed. They only had the 35th tank division to use. On this dangerous plain, the 131 motorized division could not play a great role.

As long as the Germans break through this river, they will inevitably usher in a tragic war. Major general rokosovsky is not optimistic about the war situation. On his defense, at least five German armored divisions are rushing in.

The only thing that reassured him was that at dawn, the supply convoy finally arrived. As long as his tank troops had oil supplies, they could deploy along the river bank and fight again for some time.

At the same time, the headquarters of the southwest front army in the rear was also aware of the danger here. A succession of troops arrived here. As long as they continued to insist, they could wait until reinforcements arrived.

Then we can really launch a counter offensive!

Gaz-aaa truck, roaring, came to the 35 tank division. The tank soldiers who can't wait to help.

Behind the truck, pull out the oil pipe, open the fuel tank cover at the back of the tank and refuel quickly!

The engine rumbled, and the fuel pump continuously pumped out the fuel and delivered it to the tank's fuel tank. Each tank is a monster drinking oil. Take the current T-34 for example, it has 409 liters of in car fuel tank and 150 liters of external fuel tank.

A two ton truck can only refuel four tanks.

The tank soldiers listened to the sound of the fuel pump. As long as the tanks were full of oil, they would not lose their equipment and escape like the 20 tank division. They would fight and let the Germans know the power of the Soviet tank force!

However, just as they began to refuel, there was a rumbling sound in the sky above them.

A terrible hs-129 attack aircraft has flown over them!

The anti-aircraft guns of the tank division began to fall to the ground and shoot at the sky. However, the Germans were very skilled and began to dive and fire at these oil tank vehicles!

"Bang, bang!" It was still three rounds in a row, and the armor piercing incendiary bomb hit the tanker that was refuelling.

A fierce fire broke out from the oil tank truck. The fire was expanding rapidly, and the whole oil tank truck became a burning torch.

Diesel is not easy to light, but that doesn't mean it can't be lit( I remember hours later, when the tractor's fuel tank could not be seen at night, a driver went to see it with a lighter. As a result, he was burned in a large area by the flame.)

Especially in the current refueling state, there is pressure in the oil pipe. At the same time, the upper space in the oil pipe begins to be filled with air. The air is mixed with volatile diesel oil, which burns rapidly under the ignition of armor piercing combustion bomb. When the diesel oil below is heated to the ignition point during combustion, it will be added to combustion.

"Come on, leave!" Although the tank has not been filled with oil, the driver quickly jumped into the tank. With the hiss of compressed air, the tank engine was started. He engaged and the tank drove away.

At this time, the fire had jumped over, and all the hats on the driver's head were roasted. With fearless spirit, he continued to step on the accelerator to save his tank.

Not afraid of personal death, in order to win, you can give your life!

……

Tiger tanks held their guns high and appeared on the horizon. One tank after another was like a group of monsters. The engines at their tail emitted black smoke, and their crawlers rolled over the soil along the river. They looked at the broken bridge here, but they could only look at the river and sigh.

Sitting in his tank and observing the bridge with a telescope, the division commander, general Felix Steiner, was quite dissatisfied.

They were a step slower. Although they had passed through at the fastest speed when they surrounded and annihilated the 20th tank division, they were still a step slower. The bridge had been blown up by the Soviets.

Although our own air force attacked the Soviets in the sky, as long as the bridge was broken, their actions would be blocked. It would take a long time to mobilize engineers from the rear.

"Division commander, our infantry chariot can cross the river. Let's use the infantry chariot to destroy them!" On Felix's side, the captains suggested to him.

Tiger tanks and Panther tanks can't cross the river, but there's no problem with infantry combat vehicles.

But Felix shook his head. "No."

The reason is very simple. The opposite river bank has been fortified by the Soviets. From the river bank, you can see the other party's tanks and anti tank guns lined up along the river bank. If your own infantry combat vehicles pass directly, they will be greatly hit. After all, the infantry combat vehicles are thin skin and big stuffing without beating.

Moreover, even in the past, infantry combat vehicles could not fight against tanks.

"Our engineers will arrive in 12 hours." An aide in charge of contact said.

Felix could only nod helplessly and wait for 12 hours. It was a pity. If he arrived earlier, he could kill all the Soviets opposite!

At this time, I wonder how the other armored divisions are progressing?

Suddenly, an idea came into his head. Who said that a tank could not cross the river without a bridge? Your tanks have tried some special methods to cross the river. Now you can try it!

At this time, in the rear, in the headquarters of the 1st Armored group army group, General Paul Ludwig Ewald von kleister also received the news that the front-line attack was blocked.

He looked at the map, looked at the stri River, meditated, and said, "order the 11th and 13th Armored Divisions behind us to find a breakthrough from the upper reaches of the river, cross the river, the 14th and 16th armored divisions, find a breakthrough from the lower reaches, cross the river, the 16th armored division, follow behind the Viking division, and we will break through in three directions! After the breakthrough, do not attack the Soviet troops on the river bank for the time being, continue to push in depth and eliminate the Soviet reinforcements! "

In his previous wars, general kleister also showed his skill and was handy in the application of armored forces. Now, his command is quite artistic.

The Soviets also planned to deploy defense on the river bank in an attempt to block their own side here and even start a counter offensive. Their own side is to find ways to bypass this line of defense and then attack their reinforcements!

The Soviet reinforcements did not come at once. They marched in a hurry, first and then, just in time to encircle and destroy them in batches!

Eat the Soviet Army mouth by mouth, and then point to Kiev! The vast Ukrainian plain is the world of German armored soldiers!
