Imperial Overlord

Whether the No. 4 Highway Bridge was lost or not was very important to the Soviet Army. And now it seems that there is only one solution to this important road bridge, whether it is lost or not.

The Soviet commander in Smolensk, Budyonny, really didn't dare to let the front line guess wrong. He decided to dispatch the air force to blow up the bridge and use practical actions to ensure that the bridge was absolutely destroyed.

"Organize attack aircraft immediately and dispatch the most advanced Il-2 attack aircraft! I need to destroy the No. 4 road bridge! This order must be executed immediately!" Budyonny looked at the telegram from Vitebsk and commanded his air force the officer ordered.

"Comrade Marshal... We are still not sure whether the Germans have occupied the No. 4 highway bridge. On the other side of the bridge, there are two of our corps, nearly 30,000 troops fighting..." The commander of the air force The officer looked at Budyonny who gave the order in shock, and reminded him.

Budyonny waved his hand and shook his head again before continuing to command: "Comrade... War requires sacrifice..."

If he had a choice, he didn't want to isolate more than 30,000 friendly troops on the other end of the bridge, and be annihilated by the German army in vain.

But the problem now is that he has no better choice. There is definite news that the German army is attacking in the direction of Vitebsk, and the No. 4 road bridge is 80% under the control of the German army.

"Securing Vitebsk is our most important task at the moment! For the sake of the motherland, let the comrades of the two armies fight to the last moment!" He looked at his men and insisted word by word.

With a military salute to his commander, the commander of the Air Force went to arrange the task of blowing up the bridge.

At the same time, the Soviet troops who turned back to attack the railway bridge were blocked by the Germans at a considerable distance.

"Are there still cannons?" Looking at his subordinates, the Soviet commander who lost the No. 4 highway bridge asked with a pale face.

The railway bridge, which seemed impossible to lose, was lost so inexplicably. His only thought now is to do everything in his power to destroy this vital bridge.

The safest way, and the most primitive way, is to use cannons to fire desperately at the bridge.

As soon as a few shells landed on that bridge, the load-bearing design would be destroyed and the road bridge could no longer be used.

With better luck, you can also blow up the bridge and completely block the German troops crossing the bridge on the other side of the bridge.

If this can be done, then the German army will be surrounded by a part of the Soviet army, and it may be successful in turning defeat into victory.

"Our artillery... is still in front of the position..." The chief of staff replied with gritted teeth as he looked at his soldiers who were swept away by the German machine gun position.

It seems impossible to rely on the counterattack of the infantry to penetrate the German defense line. The crossfire of the German army was very ferocious, and the position changed very quickly.

"I'll continue to attack here! You bring people back and find a way to get the cannons you can find here!" The commander glanced at his chief of staff and issued a new order.

He can't completely pin his hopes on retaking the bridge, or he has no hope of retaking the bridge.

Now what he was thinking about was to use cannons to fire on the bridge, to isolate himself and the German army here forever.

The chief of staff nodded and hurriedly walked back with the person. Bringing the cannon back, bombarding his only retreat, destroying the only possibility of retreat... It feels sad to think about it.

But he still has to carry out this order, because the motherland needs them to carry out such orders.

On the field airfield in the rear, Soviet pilots were lifting the camouflage nets on their planes. The task of this take-off is simple and difficult to destroy the No. 4 highway bridge.

They didn't know that there were friendly troops on the other side of the bridge, so they talked in a low voice while preparing for the take-off mission.

"Those idiots in the army, they even forgot to blow up the bridge when they were retreating?" a ground crew asked the pilots beside him while packing up the camouflage net.

"I don't know what they are doing... Maybe they didn't have time to blow up the bridge!" The pilot was not in a good mood. Taking off at this time was almost the same as suicide.

"What else can those **** do? Retreat and retreat, the only thing they know is to retreat!" The ground crew put the camouflage net on the side of the plane and complained helplessly.

The things he complained about were really speechless, after all, the ground troops were indeed retreating all the way.

But if they really want to pursue it, their Air Force is not much better. They basically dared not take off and fight since a month ago.

The sky has always belonged to German aircraft, and only in the dark night did they dare to take off their own aircraft and perform some small-scale missions.

For example, throwing some ammunition on the troops surrounded by the rear, or bombing some places at random, proves that the Soviet Air Force has not been completely eliminated.

Just as they were about to take off, the air defense siren of the field airfield rang piercingly.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" An officer rushed to the runway and shouted to the Soviet pilots who were about to take off: "Quick! Quickly find a place to hide!"

Everyone looked at the shouting officer in amazement, and then they saw those small black spots like dust in the distant sky.

If you don't look carefully at ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If there is no early warning post on the front line, they will never find the German aircraft so far away.

Taking off at this time, it will inevitably be chased and killed by the German **** fighter jets. If you don't take off the plane at this time and disguise the entire field airport, it will be too late.

"Damn, how could they find time like this?" Watching the approaching enemy planes, the Soviet pilots complained in a low voice as they ran into the bunker next to them.

Good luck for this bombing. By the time the German bombers flew to the vicinity of the Soviet field airfield, there were still six Il-2 attack planes parked on the airstrip ready to take off.

At the same time, the German ground forces also launched the most violent attack, this time instead of attacking other directions, but squeezing the Soviet troops near the No. 4 road bridge and driving them out of the safe area.

Zhentian's rocket artillery covered the Soviet army's position, and before they could fight back, the Soviet army's long-range firepower was completely suppressed.

Manstein's general offensive began when the Soviets least wanted it.
