Chapter 917

When I saw that the front of a tank of our army was hit by a shell, I still had a sense of fluke. My heart said that it was the most advanced T-34 tank of our army. The turret had 60mm front armor with 32 degree oblique angle, and even the armor on the side was 45mm thick. The shells of German tanks No. 3 and No. 4 were easy to be bounced away even if they were hit. At such a long distance, the German tanks could not be fired, It's impossible to penetrate our tanks.

But it backfired. As soon as I thought so, the hit tank exploded into a fireball, and the turret was even lifted to the sky by the lethal ammunition inside the body, and then hit the ground heavily.

"What the hell is going on?" In a moment of anxiety, I couldn't help crying out: "at this distance, how can German tanks break through the front armor of the T-34?"

Guldyev, who was bending over to observe the battlefield through the gun mirror, stood up straight and said to me solemnly: "Comrade commander, I find that the German army seems to have used a new type of tank, and the gun barrel of the other No. 4 tank is also improved compared with before."

"What, new tanks?" When I heard the word that made me jump out of guldyev's mouth, I quickly raised my telescope and looked at the German tank line carefully. From this view, we can see the problem. The tanks at the front are obviously different from the tanks No. 3 and No. 4 I used to know. Judging from our army's limited tank knowledge, this kind of square headed and square brained tank should be the famous Tiger tank of the German army in World War II.

When I think of these tanks that are rushing towards our army's armored square array, that is, the T-34 star killer Tiger tanks, my heart cools. The weapons and equipment of both sides are obviously not at the same level. How can we fight this battle? The 76mm tank gun equipped with T-34 can't penetrate the 102mm thick front armor of the Tiger tank at all, while the 56 times diameter 88mm gun of the German Tiger tank can easily punch a hole in the front armor of the T-34 tank at a distance of 1000m or more, just like shooting at a shooting range. Think of here, big cold days, I am nervous palms sweating.

With the dull sound of German tank guns, one tank after another of our army was destroyed in the snow, and some of the tank turrets and I quickly recalled this article in my mind. After deleting some temporarily useless contents, we began to teach berey how to deal with Tiger tanks: "don't worry, comrade Colonel, Although the new German tanks are powerful, they are not insurmountable. You also know that the mobility of a tank depends on the driving mechanism - the driving wheel, the driving wheel, the load wheel and the track. These parts can be destroyed by any caliber shells, and the driving wheel is particularly vulnerable, so it can be the preferred target.

The new tank has two armor plates on each side. Part of the lower armor is covered by wheels. This armor protects the engine and gasoline in the rear of the tank just above the two rear wheels. You can use the tank gun to attack the low armor plate. When the gasoline is ignited, the tank will catch fire. Another way to set the tank on fire is to fire the side upper armor, which can attack the ammunition compartment and cause an explosion. The rear armor protects the tank's gasoline and engine. As long as it is ejected by our armor piercing, it can paralyze the tank. "

After I told berey what I knew, I gave him the order to attack: "Comrade Colonel, since you already know how to deal with the new German tanks, you should attack immediately. Remember to keep in touch with me at any time, and I will give you new orders according to the changes in the battlefield. "

"Yes As soon as I had finished, Colonel berey replied loudly.

When I put down the earphone and the transmitter, gurtyev, standing beside me, asked strangely, "Comrade commander, I don't understand. How do you know these ways to deal with the new German tanks?"

Gultyev's words almost scared me out of a cold sweat. I just wanted to teach Col. berey the experience of dealing with Tiger tanks. I forgot that the Soviet commanders and fighters at the moment had never seen such a new German tank, let alone mastered how to deal with it.

As for his question, I had to cough and say in an official voice, "general gurdyev, don't forget that I am good friends with tank general katukov. After getting along with him for a long time, it's not a great thing to learn how to deal with German tanks."

After listening to my explanation, gurdyev only let out a cry, then went back to the mirror with doubts on his face and continued to observe the situation on the battlefield.

There are burning tanks all over the plain, including our own and German ones, but now the only tanks that can still run everywhere are German Tiger tanks. The German tank guns are firing, the vehicle mounted machine guns are also firing, and even some arrogant tankers open the top cover of the turret, stand in the hatch, and use their submachine guns to sweep away the running tank members of our army.

Seeing this scene, I was so angry that I wanted to find some snipers to kill all the German tankers. However, our observation post is two or three kilometers away from the battlefield. Even if there are the best snipers, they can do nothing to the enemy beyond the range. Although the snipers could not reach the enemy, the tank brigade of Colonel berey was also a threat to the German army. At this moment, they have successively appeared behind the trenches of our first line of defense.

I quickly went to the phone again and contacted Colonel berey. I yelled at the transmitter and said, "look, Colonel berey, use high explosive bombs to bombard the joint of the German army and the infantry immediately, and separate the enemy's tanks and infantry!" As the order was given, the tanks of the tank brigade stopped, lined up behind the trench, and fired at the far junction of the German army and the infantry. The high explosive shells fired by the tanks fell between the German tanks and the infantry. The mud and snow caused by the explosion of the shells flew so high that several soldiers near the explosion point were blown up. The sudden bombardment blinded the German infantry. The soldiers on the motorcycles jumped out and fell down on the spot. The soldiers who had been following the tank troops all the time fell down on the spot and stood in a daze after the bombardment! The German infantry began to fall into chaos after being continuously fired by the tank brigade. At this time, the tank that had stopped to fire moved. The tank soldiers made full use of their power and launched a decisive assault on the side of the enemy, directly into the joint of the German infantry and tanks“ That's great. That's great! " Seeing our tanks charging up from the flank of the German army, gurdyev exclaimed excitedly: "Comrade commander, look, our tanks are charging up. After our shelling, the German infantry has become chaotic. " I held up my telescope and looked at the German tanks, but I didn't feel the slightest joy, because I saw that the infantry following the German tanks were not the ordinary national defense forces, but the SS in black uniforms. Their combat effectiveness is much better than that of the national defense forces. Although they were caught in a short period of chaos under our artillery attack, I believe that they will soon recover and organize effective resistance. By that time, Colonel berey's tank brigade will be more or less dangerous. As the German tanks were advancing rapidly, they didn't expect that such a tank unit would rush out of the slash. They were caught off guard by the tank brigade. After being shot in the side, several invincible Tiger tanks stopped, and there was thick smoke in the same place. The tank crew in the tank fled from the tank in a panic and ran away. Colonel berey was a very good tank commander. His tank brigade ran through the joint of German tanks and infantry. He used machine guns to shoot infantry running around. He used tank guns to destroy German Tiger tanks and No. 4 tanks from the side or behind. Under their heroic attack, the German tanks and infantry were completely separated. After crushing several anti tank guns and flattening several trenches, several German tanks that rushed to friendly defensive positions were destroyed by our brave soldiers with anti tank grenades and flasks. Seeing the signs of the collapse of the German offensive, I can't help but feel relieved. I also regret that if we let Colonel berey lead the troops earlier, maybe our 25th tank army would not have made such a great sacrifice. I went to the telephone and asked the operator to contact the group army headquarters. I need to report the situation here to haridonov“ Major general o'shanina, is that you? " From the earphone came harritonov's anxious voice: "what's the situation there? I've heard that the 25th tank army has been completely destroyed. Are the German forces now attacking the position of the 4th Infantry army? "“ Yes, comrade commander. " I replied respectfully, "because of the new tanks used by the German army, our 25th army of tanks was caught off guard, so it was quickly destroyed. I saw that the situation was critical, and I sent Colonel berey's tank brigade to attack from the German flank. At present, they have severely damaged the German tank troops, and completely separated the remaining tanks and infantry... "When I said this, I suddenly heard gurdyev next to me exclaim:" hell, what a hell! Comrade commander, come and have a look. There are enemy planes in the sky. They are attacking Colonel berey's tank brigade! " I pulled off the earphone on my head and threw it to the operator with the transmitter. I rushed to the observation port and looked up at the sky. In the sky at the moment, a German four plane formation was hovering above the tank brigade. Soon an enemy plane dived down toward the ground and dropped a bomb at the same time. After the bomb landed and exploded, the smoke wrapped two adjacent tanks in. Before the smoke dispersed, I saw another fire rising there. Then the turret of a tank was blown up high and whirled to the side, smashing an empty tricycle to pieces. When the smoke dispersed, I found that in addition to the body of a tank without turret, the other one was no better. It rolled over next to a large crater and was still emitting plumes of smoke.
