"Tonight, assemble the troops of the 19th, 20th, 21st, and 22nd armies and attack the enemy's positions again. This time, we must tear their positions apart and drown them!" General Zhukov ordered .
"Yes, Comrade Commander." Lieutenant General Konev nodded. He also knew that tonight might be the time for desperate efforts. If you don't work hard, I'm afraid there will be no way to break through the enemy's defense line. At that time, even if the battle continues, it will be nothing more than paying unnecessary losses. This opportunity must be seized as much as possible.
"However, Comrade Commander. I think we still need to gather more troops. The Germans will definitely not watch the defense line being broken by us, and they will definitely draw troops from other places." Lieutenant General Konev reminded.
General Zhukov nodded: "Don't worry, I will draw troops from other armies when necessary!"
The Russian army stopped the offensive and turned to prepare for the night attack at night.
The same situation also happened in the German Army Group B. Marshal Guderian learned that the Russian army stopped after only launching a round of attack. He could almost conclude that the Russian army would never give up so easily. Therefore, it is undoubtedly conceivable what the Russians want to do next.
"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, I can be sure that the Russians will definitely launch an attack tonight. They know that the attack during the day will be repelled by our powerful firepower. Therefore, night has become their only chance." Gu Marshal Derian said.
"So, Marshal, do we need reinforcements from several other armies?" Lieutenant General Karl Hilpert asked.
Marshal Guderian nodded: "Send a telegram to the Belarusian 1st Army and the Polish 3rd Army to let them pay attention to the battle at night. In addition, let the Polish 4th Army mobilize 4 divisions to prepare for reinforcements. Polish 3rd Army. Send a telegram to the Polish 1st Army, 2nd Army and 5th Army, asking them to send an infantry division north immediately. If the Belarusian 1st Army cannot withstand the Russian attack, they need to send reinforcements immediately. And, preferably Get ready for the second reinforcement!"
Marshal Guderian did not intend to draw reinforcements from several German armies. The weather is too bad now, so he still conducts night battles. In that case, the elite German army would also suffer considerable casualties. If you can rely on the army of the slave country to resist the attack of the Russian army, it will undoubtedly be the best. The elite troops of the German army should stay in and attack Moscow next spring.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Marshal." Lieutenant General Karl Hilpert replied.
After the order of Marshal Guderian was issued, the Polish army and Belarus were ready. The Polish 4th Army dispatched 4 infantry divisions and rushed to the defense line of the Polish 3rd Army, preparing to reinforce them. The Polish 1st Army, 2nd Army and 5th Army are also mobilizing troops northward. It's just that the defense line of the German Army Group B is several hundred kilometers long, and now it is full of ice and snow, even if it is by truck or armored personnel carrier, it is difficult to arrive in a short time. Therefore, if the Russian army launches an offensive tonight, the Belarusian 1st Army and the Polish 3rd Army still need to rely on their own strength to resist the Russian attack.
Fortunately, during the daytime battles, the Russian army was battered in front of their line of defense. This made the officers and soldiers of the Belarusian 1st Army and the Polish 3rd Army somewhat nervous about the upcoming battle, but they did not want to fight. Not intimidated. Because the fighting during the day was too simple, those Russians seemed to be sent to death, allowing them to shoot and kill with powerful firepower.
"Gentlemen, Marshal Guderian's order has been issued. The Russians are likely to continue to attack us tonight. The defense lines of the 1st Infantry Division and the 2nd Infantry Division are very likely to be attacked by the Russians." Important point. So, this also means that you two infantry divisions will face a **** battle tonight!" said Lieutenant General Chelyushev, commander of the 1st Belarusian Army.
The commanders of the Belarusian 1st Infantry Division and the 2nd Infantry Division both looked serious. Although their troops performed very well in daytime battles, it would be very difficult to tell if the battle scene was switched to night.
"Everyone, this battle tonight is very critical to us. Marshal Guderian has already dispatched reinforcements from other troops to reinforce us. However, it takes time to travel in this ghostly weather. Therefore, We have to rely on our own strength to hold on tonight. Otherwise, once the line of defense is breached, the consequences will be disastrous!" Lieutenant General Chelyushev continued.
The other Belarusian army generals also nodded. If the line of defense is breached, without a solid line of defense as a backing, it will be impossible for them to confront the Russian army, which has a superior force.
"I order all units to prepare for battle from now on. Units other than the 1st Infantry Division and the 2nd Infantry Division will each draw a regiment and rush to the army headquarters to stand by. In addition, other units should also be ready .Once reinforcements are needed, more troops must be dispatched immediately. Anyone who dares to disobey orders will be dealt with by military law!" Lieutenant General Cheliushenv said with a dark face.
He knew that if this battle was defeated, what awaited him would be to return to China and be dismissed from his post. He didn't want his military career to turn around like this. What about higher positions. Therefore, even if he tried his best, he would ask the troops to resist the attack of the Russian army.
"Yes, general!" All the generals replied.
Lieutenant General Vashkevich, the commander of the Polish Army's 3rd Army, also issued the same order, drawing troops from other units under the Army Group to prepare to reinforce the positions of the Polish Army's 22nd Infantry Division and 23rd Infantry Division.
After nightfall, both the Belarusian army and the Polish army began to prepare. Under the snow, they planted mines, pulled up barbed wire, and set up machine guns. There are also a lot of flares piled up next to the mortars. They are ready, and once the Russian army launches an attack, they will pay a heavy price again.
At 10 o'clock in the evening on December 25th, the cold wind was howling, and General Zhukov once again gave the order to attack.
