General Weber was not so stupid. He went out to pursue those retreating enemies. For him, the most important thing was to occupy the city. He came for this goal at the beginning.

As for those who have retreated, naturally there are other troops to pursue, and it is not up to them to pursue.

The Soviets retreated.

In the past, there was a confrontation on both sides of the river in the city, and the German army made several strong attacks without success. Now, when they cross the river again, there is nothing opposite.

Leohad's troops passed by in rubber boats. The opposite side was empty. Last night, they all retreated?

Leohad's men went ashore and immediately moved quickly towards the urban area to occupy those key departments!

At the same time, the news of the Soviet breakout was quickly reported to the higher authorities.

Just behind the encirclement, goodrian was meditating on the map.

The Soviets ran away. Just when their siege was about to be surrounded, they ran away!

This encirclement tactic has long been tried and tested. From the beginning of the war to now, more than one million Soviet troops have disappeared in their own encirclement, but this time, it suddenly failed.

"The Soviets have figured out how we play." Kluge said: "our encirclement is too large this time, and our military strength is insufficient. In the swamp, our military strength is not easy to expand. In particular, due to the tenacious resistance of the Soviets, the encirclement is unable to be encircled. As a result, the Soviets broke through our opening that has not been encircled."

In the past, the Soviets did not adapt to their own way of playing, but actually wanted to fight separately. After being surrounded, they broke through separately, and all fell under the impact of their own side.

But now, the Soviets have stabilized from the initial panic. They play like a model. They can break through directly in adverse times!

Goodrian also has a big appetite. The encirclement circle is too large this time, resulting in a shortage of local troops, especially in the swampy areas here, which makes their progress quite slow.

"Order our air force to immediately search around for the traces of the breakthrough troops. In order to break through, they threw away their heavy weapons. They must not run far. The air force delayed their action. Our third armored cluster pushed forward quickly and surrounded and annihilated them in the movement!"

Germany also has a strong air force. Using hs129 in the air is enough to cause great trouble to their retreating troops, and then the ground forces catch up and continue to eat them.

"Order the second armored group to end the Smolensk battle and immediately move south to prepare to encircle Kiev with the South army." Goodrian continued to give orders.

They also have new tactics, that is, go south to reinforce the South Road corps and surround Kiev!

From this experience, if there are not enough troops in the encirclement, the enemy will break through and run away. Only Manstein in the South can not complete this task because of his own Legion.

The Middle Route Army went south and caught them by surprise!

Just doing so, I don't know if the first one to hit Moscow will be the North Road corps! Goodrian looked at the map. He shook his head. He didn't care about his false name. He had enough reputation. Now he only cares about victory!

In this way, it's easy to have cover. They just think their own side is advancing all the way to the East. Who knows that their powerful Legion has gone south and caught them by surprise!

The German army was also responding quickly. At this time, outside the encirclement circle, the Soviet troops who broke out were retreating rapidly to the East.

The 24th army.

At first, tiemuxinge wanted to come to four group armies and planned to surround and eat an armored division in Germany from the outside. As a result, there was no progress in fighting more and less. Then, a large number of German troops came up and surrounded them in their periphery.

Since then, their life has been difficult. Their hearts sank when they saw Smolensk being completely surrounded by the Germans.

Fortunately, the order to retreat finally came. In order to avoid being surrounded by the Germans, comrade Stalin issued the order to retreat.

Fortunately, they also found a path in the swamp!

This is the territory of the Soviet Union. They have the advantage of geographical advantage. They are familiar with the environment here, and there are local people in the group army.

Steve, a soldier in the 73rd infantry division of the 52nd army of the 24th group army, was exploring the way in front with a long bamboo pole.

The bamboo pole went into the swamp and tested the depth of the swamp. Then his feet stepped on it steadily.

"Come on, everyone. This is the most difficult section in the swamp. After this section, we can go out." Cried Steve.

How to break through the encirclement of Germany is also a big problem.

If you take the normal route, there must be a large number of German troops surrounded and a large number of tanks. Such a breakthrough is a dead end. Even if you go out, you will be chased by the Germans all the way and eat them mouth by mouth. You can't escape much.

Where it never closed? There were more Soviet troops there, and the nearby troops planned to break through there. When they arrived, they couldn't squeeze through. The Germans responded quickly, and they didn't have a chance at all.

Therefore, they can only take risks, take this swamp that no one has ever walked through, walk here, and successfully go out!

To this end, they threw away all their heavy equipment and walked through the swamp here.

In fact, they don't have any heavy equipment. They are an infantry group army. Their men are infantry. The only heavy equipment is those heavy howitzers. No matter what direction they break through, they can't run away with howitzers and have to throw them away.

Now, their trouser legs are rolled up, bare legs, stepping on the swamp half a leg deep, walking slowly forward, all their equipment on their heads, and everyone holding a bamboo pole, stuck in the mud, walking slowly forward.

The whole army is a long queue. The leaders in front have passed the most difficult part of the swamp. They can see the hard land opposite and the woods. As long as they enter there, they can easily run away.

And the people behind haven't gone down to the swamp yet.

"Well, we're about to cross the swamp. When we get to the woods over there, we'll have a rest." Said Steve.

Just then, suddenly, there was a rumble overhead.

When hearing this sound, everyone looked up nervously and looked into the sky.

In the distance, a plane was flying slowly. When we saw the plane, everyone was stunned.

Frame, German reconnaissance plane!
