At this time, in the opposite tank, the tankers were also surprised. Tanks, do the Soviets have tanks? Besides, that tank seems to be able to spit fire?

"Attention, 300 meters ahead, a tank, armor piercing ammunition loading." Shouted the conductor.

All the way, they almost used grenades. Basically, they didn't meet any targets that needed armor piercing bullets. Unexpectedly, they actually met a hard stubble here.

"Yes, armor piercing ammunition." The loader took out an armor piercing bullet, stuffed it into the gun chamber and shouted, "loading is over."

The gunner has begun to aim at the target. With the magnification of his sight gradually enlarged, he can see it clearly. Suddenly, his heart is an inspiration. How can he look so familiar?

"Report, the target tank is suspected to be Panther 3," shouted the gunner.

Panther 3? Isn't that the same as your own tank? When I saw the target just now, no wonder it looked so familiar. The captain quickly observed it carefully. It's not, Panther 3 tank, his own!

They rushed in from the South Road, while the opposite rushed in from the North Road. Unknowingly, they have met inside Minsk, which also indicates that they have occupied the city!

At this time, the tank hand on the Spitfire tank also recognized the other party's model. The two sides hugged together and were quite excited.

I didn't expect to meet here! They almost hit by mistake just now.

In this case, misfire may occur, which is also in the history of later generations. In the face of the Soviet T-34 crisis, German tank designers came up with a quick implementation scheme, that is, the German version of T-34, which almost copied the T-34 as it is. As a result, Hitler was very dissatisfied.

One of the big reasons is the misfire on the battlefield.

In the absence of an advanced friend or foe identification system, it is very important to see each other visually and identify the model. If the enemy and we are the same, it will bring a lot of inconvenience.

With the meeting of the two forces, Minsk City, even if it was captured by the German army in one day, at this time, the two forces of the huge German Central Corps have been encircled. In their encirclement, there are hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops.

The encirclement circle is quite huge, so there will be a big gap in the encirclement circle. After all, the German army can't make the encirclement circle airtight. If people are next to people in the field and organize the encirclement circle, it's not enough for the German central army to have five million troops.

As long as we control strategic areas, we can construct a encirclement, and then with the help of the mobility of tanks, we can block possible openings at any time. At the same time, there are also troops that firmly bite at the rear of the Soviet army.

This large encirclement will be further divided into several small encirclement circles to eat the Soviet Army mouth by mouth.

New grundok.

The soil on the field has been trampled thin and soft. On such a road, teams of soldiers are running all the way to the East.

With rifles on their backs and grenades bouncing on their hips, they were tired all the way, but they had no other way. If they didn't want to be eaten by the Germans, they had to run like this.

Riding a war horse, commander Kuznetsov looked at his infantry and was burning with anxiety.

The third group army, a group army belonging to the western special military region, originally had good strength. However, the 11th mechanized army under the establishment has been defeated. Now they only have the Fourth Infantry army. They originally had some cars, but last night, the last drop of gasoline ran out and they had to blow up their own cars, Then become pure infantry.

The order came down too late. If it had been two days earlier, they would have gone to Minsk now. If they were not so determined to carry out the counterattack mission, they could still save their strength.

Just as he looked at his exhausted subordinates, his telegraph operator took this opportunity to just set up the radio and received a telegram.

"Minsk was occupied by the Germans." The telegraph operator said to him.

Minsk is occupied? Kuznetsov immediately frowned. They had planned to return to Minsk, but now the back road is blocked?

Eagerly unfolding his marching map, he looked at the pencil drawn road maps above. All around were occupied by the Germans. Should he go to the naribuk forest in the south?

No, it's not suitable there. It will take longer to cross the forest, and our side has no hope of breaking through. During this time, I don't know where the Germans will fight, maybe Smolensk.

"Order the troops to speed up." He continued: "order our striker to take the Neman ferry."

He can only continue to retreat to the East, hoping to find the enemy's weak defense, rush a road and retreat out. Now, what is in front of their army is the Nieman River, which is a bottleneck.

Niemann River, a river in the west of the Eastern European Plain. It originates 50 kilometers southwest of Minsk, Belarus, meanders through Lithuania and the north of Kaliningrad, Russia, and flows into Kursky Bay in the Baltic Sea. The total length is 937 kilometers. There are many shoals and sandbars in the river.

Napoleon Crossed the Neman River and entered Russia all the way. Later, Emperor Napoleon and Alexander met on a covered raft in the middle reaches of the Neman river. After a quarrel, they finally signed the treaty.

Now, the river has become the biggest threat to the third group army. Because of the obstruction of the river, they will slow down their action. Now they urgently need to seize the ferry on the river and cross the river as soon as possible.

Ahead was the 172nd infantry division. The division commander Romanov urged his troops to move forward quickly. They could see the ferry over there from a distance.

"Quickly, look for boats nearby and find everything that can cross the river." Romanov was also extremely anxious. If he wanted to retreat back, he had to spend here and cross the river before the Germans found it.

Just after he had finished speaking, a rumbling voice came over his head.

"Hide, hide, the German bomber is coming!"

The soldiers in the March were in a panic. They looked for shelter on the spot. Before they could escape, there was a roar of death overhead.

The Stuka bombers lowered their altitude, the machine guns in the nose were firing fiercely, and the Soviet soldiers fell in pieces.

Hiding under an earth slope, Romanov's telescope looked at the ferry in the distance, and his heart was extremely anxious.

There were constant explosions and machine gun fire. For the time being, there were no troops there, only local ships. It seems that the Germans destroyed all the ships on the ferry here.

How can we cross the river without ships?
