"The Finns performed very well, let them continue their efforts!" General Bromberg, commander of the German Army Group A, was very satisfied with the performance of the Finnish Army in this battle.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. The area occupied by 100,000 Finns in the urban area of ​​Ulyanovgrad is larger than that occupied by 200,000 troops from the three Baltic countries!" William Kate, commander of the 4th Army Admiral Er said.

Admiral Bromberg nodded: "In half a month, the weather will be very cold. We must take the remaining urban areas of Ulyanovgrad within half a month. Row."

Although, Germany was ready to fight in the severe winter before the war. But that is an option when there is no other way. No German general wanted to put a major battle in winter if he could. Neither the Germans nor their allies can tolerate the severe cold. In that case, a large number of non-combat attrition due to the cold will be caused. Therefore, Admiral Bromberg hoped that the war would end within half a month. In that case, the German army could turn to the defense.

"Half a month is enough. There are not many remaining Russian troops in Ulyanovgrad. Soon, we will be able to get rid of them!" Admiral William Keitel expressed confidence.

"General Keitel, keep an eye on the battle in Ulyanovgrad. From now on, I will focus on the second phase of the battle." Admiral Bromberg looked serious Said.

"Yes, Your Excellency Commander." Admiral William Keitel replied.

The so-called second phase of operations is the second phase of the Barbarossa plan. This stage will be a defensive operation. The time span is from late October 1939 to March 1940. That is, Russian winter.

During this stage, the German army will switch to the defensive stage across the board. Before the cold winter comes, build a solid line of defense and wait for the Russians to launch a counterattack. Although, the German army does not want to launch large-scale military operations in the cold winter. But if it is a passive defense, it is relatively much better. They can wear thick cotton clothes, hide in trenches or other fortifications, and pour shells and bullets at the Russian army attacking in the snow. In this case, the difficulty is undoubtedly much smaller. It will also allow the German army to cause greater casualties to the Russian army at the smallest cost, and further eliminate the Russian army's vital forces. Create conditions for the next third phase of operations.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The German army deployed artillery positions on the outskirts of Ulyanovgrad, firing continuously. Shell after shell roared and hit Ulyanovgrad. There were violent explosions one after another. One after another buildings were destroyed in the explosion.

This is the heavy artillery brigade of the German 4th Army, which is bombarding Victory Square. 72 210mm heavy howitzers fully demonstrate the power of God of War. The entire Victory Square was reduced to ruins in less than an hour. An infantry division of the Russian army stationed here was directly overwhelmed by artillery fire. Although, this was originally a disabled infantry division. But it was lost at once. This is undoubtedly an extremely heavy blow to the Russian 27th Army. It also caused a huge loophole in the Russian defense line. The German 4th Army was able to drive straight through this loophole.

The top and bottom of the Northwest Front Army of the Russian Army also seemed to realize that the battle here seems to be coming to the last juncture. Therefore, they acted even crazier. From time to time, the Russian army exploded explosive packages or cluster grenades rushed towards the German soldiers, and even jumped from buildings, hoping to cause greater casualties to the German army.

In order to end the battle as soon as possible, the headquarters of the German Army Group A ordered the armored division and the mechanized infantry division to join the battle. In the previous battles, the three armored divisions and six mechanized infantry divisions of the German Army Group A did not enter Ulyanovgrad, in order to avoid too much damage to tanks and armored vehicles.

However, the battle has reached this point, and the anti-tank weapons of the Russian army have been almost destroyed. Their weapons against tanks and armored vehicles are nothing but suicide attacks. As long as the cooperation is proper, the loss of the German armored forces can be completely controlled.

When the German army dispatched thousands of tanks and armored vehicles to attack Ulyanovgrad, this had an immediate effect on this battle. The Russian defense line was breached one after another by German armored units. Their defense, crushed by the tracks of German tanks and armored vehicles, was easily broken through like paper.

The battle situation has become even more unfavorable for the Russian Northwest Front Army.

"Comrade Commander, the 8th Army suffered heavy losses again. Two infantry divisions were wiped out by the Germans. Another two infantry divisions suffered heavy losses. More than two-thirds of their positions have been lost!"

"Comrade Commander, the 27th Army has also suffered heavy losses. If there is no more reinforcements, it is estimated that within two days, all their positions will be lost!"

Admiral Kuznetsov's face became very ugly. He knew that the Northwest Front of the Russian Army was now at its last juncture.

"Order the ministries, continue to stick to your defense! I have dispatched all the reinforcements. Now I have no reinforcements in my hands!" Admiral Kuznetsov said helplessly.

Even the civilian staff of the headquarters took up arms and went to the battlefield. The current Northwest Front Army can be said to be at the end of its rope. Surrounded by the German army, they couldn't even get any support, and could only watch helplessly as their troops were wiped out bit by bit by the German army.

On October 8, the German army had conquered the entire Ulyanovgrad except the Northwest Front Army. Although the Russian officers and soldiers in the headquarters of the Northwest Front Army are still stubbornly resisting. However, there is no doubt that the German army won the Battle of Ulyanovgrad.

That afternoon, the German 1st Armored Division dispatched a battalion to attack the headquarters of the Russian Northwest Front Army.

Although, the performance of the Russian army is very heroic. However, they ultimately failed to save the situation.

In just two hours, the German army occupied the headquarters of the Russian Northwest Front Army. Admiral Kuznetsov and others were all killed in battle. At this point, the entire Ulyanovgrad fell into the control of the German army.
