The Russian is very clear now the assault event that is about to produce, they spend time to be before prominent powerful defence line laid many thunder field. The civilian of tens of thousands of is used to mining is antitank conduit, supply and the ammo piles up in the brim. The author was sent 1971 in letter of Manshitaiyin brief the question that answered to may gain a success about Zitadelle. He writes: "If we plan to begin attack according to first time, we can come true [expectation] breakthrough. We can come true [expectation] breakthrough..
Because graceful Shi Tai is not exclusive have interrogative check to acting this. Although spot marshal is in,Munich held his opinion to oneself on the conference May 3, but model of Wo Er spy does not have such misgive. His ranking Keluge supports the converging attack of north and south that Cai Ci straps strongly to plan. Bypass command system, model is held in the conference before today with hope to strap meeting especially.
The model showed the case that he is revised completely or cancels attack, photograph of the scout in the sky that showed the defense position that Xitele increases ceaselessly to Russia. He says he needs division of at least two armor and thousands of dogface to even the opportunity breaks Russia alignment, in view of the defense with comprehensive Russia, he suspects he can accomplish this.
On the conference May 3, xiteledi gave the crosscurrent of model, this is very big to Keluge's anger. Kluge points out, defer will be new Panther, tiger and Ferdinand tank offer time to reach front, any improvement that what and they are in the occurrence in the battle will exceed a Russian to be able to be made in their defence thoroughly. His argument affected Xitele it seems that.
Armor army inquisitor because the sea installs a general to never hold his view to oneself in Ci Gude. He fights whole thing. He listed the new armor that still needs to solve to design an issue. He still wants to use these tank to build an armor reserve force, inbreak in order to keep out the allied forces that the west anticipates, he thinks this will undertake inside next year.
Continue back and forth, did not settle almost. Finally, the preparative work of Zitadelle still is continueing, the life that has oneself like them almost is same. Xitele awaits new armor unit, both sides continues to send more person to head for, and the Russian continues to build more powerful defense line. The date of attack eventually on July 5. Draw near as this date, model continues to scout to his staff member dump photograph. His target is to smash mine field and the area of 3 Russia defence that face him, head for the Olkhovatka village that is apart from takeoff dot to count 10 kilometers to southeast direction next.

Claw - heavy-duty antitank) .
Altogether, defend · case Lan Ci greatly according to the historian (David Glantz) view, model was directed about 335, 000 soldiers, 590 cavalry and 424 assault prepare Chinese medicine by roasting it in a pan.

Gelimu is accused to disturb the enemy's action and direct and control, wreck defense position of the enemy, support ground attack.
To armor general, retained the assault plan of the model. The assault that he attacks the enemy without the armor division that uses him acts, the dogface that plans to use him however passes through defense unit. The armor army that devotes oneself to first attack will get the close support of dogface, this will resist Russia dogface is atttacked antitank defence. Once 3 Russia line of defence is destroyed, model uses the armor reserve force that commands him the success to keep abreast of the clearing at the back of Russia position.
Besides armor army, dogface will be mixed by detachment of assault artillery piece new the established person that use a method is assisted. PZ. Nimble leopard. RGT. 656, by direct of Lieutenant Colonel of Ernst Freiherr Von Jungenfeld. The 656th is comprised by Schw. PZ. Nimble leopard.

Their 88 millimeter artillery piece will make they become outstanding tank annihilate to hit a car, but they lack any 2 class weapons, make they are atttacked easily by the enemy's dogface. In the captain Abt of Karl-Heinz Noak. Staff of 654 a few unit arms with MG-34 machine gun oneself, they hope they can pass fire of shooting bore of a gun, in case they are atttacked in fighting at close quarters.
The 3rd team of group of heart of Er of humble of root of Feng · Deng is Bruno Carl the Sturmpanzer Abteilung 216 of major. Carl has 45 Sturmpanzer IV " Grizzly Bear " assault artillery piece. They use 150 millimeter to prepare Chinese medicine by roasting it in a pan supportive dogface is assisted, differ with Feidinade, it has two machine gun to be used at defence. Grey ursine team also enters stage of production quickly, so that they can attend Zitadelle.
Model still has two self-dramatizing tiger tank companies, these companies also were driven to front. Execute the command of major of two companies Bernhard Sauvant of watt. PZ. Abute. 505 will add in the begining in attack belong to Huositegeluosiman the division of the 6th infantry of major general.

The place before be like is narrated, the defence of Russia includes 3 aggrandizement defense line. A few months come, red Army engineer was cultivated in this area by tens of thousands landmine. These mine field aim to leak German armor to kill and wound an area. Antitank, or PAK, front already was in by fixed position kill area. Below the direct of an officer, a lot of Piat will shoot on a designation tank, be banned to use till it or destroy, just can enter next tank next.
Equipment the Russia dogface of these circuitry PTRS-41 " Siminov " antitank of musket antitank molecular conformity is together. Siminov is the weapon with a kind of giant 46 heavy pounds, fired the armor-piercing shell or bullet of millimeter of a 14.5x114, can penetrate in 100 meters of place the armor of 40 millimeter. Close quarters it may be a kind of lethal weapon, can cope with the heavy-duty Germany tank that introduces battlefield even.
As the drawing near that assaults time, model, is captain of his Harald Freiherr Von Elverfeldt of chief of staff and his action in charge of JohannesH? Lz captain, completed the final plan of assault. In his right wing, the 23rd army group of Yaohanneisi Fulaisina's general (the 353rd, the 216th, the 78th mix with division of the 36th infantry and Stug.Abts.185 189) will face Puluokefei Luomanlianke's challenge the 48th army.

Through interrogating the account of German convict and army deserter of a few Germany, rokossovskii knows when model can come exactly. Accordingly, the artillerist that he commands him is in the 0220 Germany that hit a likelihood build up on July 5 morning dot, each are not identical as a result. The German position of a few previous scale is smashed, but a lot of artillery shell fall on clearing.
Bomb destroyed the begin movement of model really. Attack was deferred 2 1/2 hour, and the unit is solved by oneself. Although in those day, a few first attack also are incongruous.
4 when 30 minutes, german open up oneself artillerist, as De Jun dogface prepares advancement, artillery shell falls on advanced Russia line.

When the 148th pace, when the 8th pace and the soldier of division of the 16th musket firing, german encountered buzz, stopped Fulaisina's person instantly in the begining in assault almost. Until ending that day, although have the aid of Situka dives of bomber assist what with army group 72 assault prepare Chinese medicine by roasting it in a pan, german also can advance only about 1.5 kilometers.
Harpe and Lemelsen are behaved more betterly. Brig.
