Chapter 466

The track chain of the tank left deep ruts on the grass, but it was nothing on the plain of the side of Highway 9, because it was full of the track marks of the tank.

During the attack, a total of 300 Soviet tanks passed by here. Now, these tanks are back here again. This is the second tank division under the jurisdiction of the first tank group army of the Red Army guards of the Soviet Union. The original first tank division has been abandoned in the center of the encirclement because of the great loss of attack.

"The investigation force has lost contact. Here and here, Mr. Commissar." An officer pointed to the not detailed map to introduce the situation of the battlefield to his superiors: "I think we should cover here and here with artillery..."

"There's no time* Our artillery is short of ammunition, Colonel, and this is not the time to wait for them The middle-aged political commissar frowned at the map and pointed to the place where the investigation troops lost contact: "since the enemy is here, we just need to attack."

A good reconnaissance unit is turned into a ghost of "stepping on thunder" by a group of clumsy commanders. If the German armored unit, which is good at using reconnaissance units, knows that the reconnaissance units of the Soviet Red Army are all used in this way, it is estimated that it will laugh.

"Positive breakthrough? In that case, the losses will be relatively large, and whether it can break through the defensive positions of the other side is uncertain. " The colonel, named * Fu, strongly opposed frontal assault. He hoped that his troops would be able to cross the battlefield with relatively complex terrain and start their own attack on the plain on the other side.

Joke, what's the difference between fighting with the German armored forces in the forest and highway subgrade with chaotic terrain and dying? After the attack on this day, Col. Sha found that his Soviet tankers were going to fall ill: in areas with complex terrain, the Soviet troops were worried about being ambushed by German tanks. After several battles, the German troops stripped the Soviet armored forces at the cost of almost no casualties.

Therefore, the Soviet armored forces hope to fight against German tanks in the vast plain area, so that they can at least know how they died, and at least have a look at what their enemies look like - this is not alarmist, because many times the Soviet Union's attacks were fought back without even seeing the opponent's appearance.

"Well, let your 2nd tank regiment spread out in that plain and carry out a flanking detour attack! Forward to 1st tank regiment! " The political commissar was very skilled in drawing up the battle plan for this time. He also felt that every time he let his troops attack the front of the other side's position, it was too inhuman.

So after thinking about it, he came up with the plan of dividing troops and attacking each other. This is also the "art of command" in which history book he did not know. However, he obviously felt that his excellent command ability could be better reflected than the frontal assault.

"Mr. political commissar, since the other side has set up defensive positions near the No. 9 highway, the woodland and the nearby roadbed are very dangerous. We can let the two regiments spread out in the open space, so that it is easier to give play to our army's advantage in quantity."* Colonel Fu wanted the follow-up troops to fight in the direction of the plain, so he insisted.

"* Colonel Hoff! I have to remind you very seriously! Our Soviet Communist Party is not afraid of sacrifice and the enemy! Frontal attack must be carried out! We should let those damned Germans know that we, the Soviet Red Army, have no cowards! " The middle-aged commissar banged on the table and roared. He hated to be questioned about his command power, so even if Colonel * Fu was extremely humble, he was still furious.

"I'm sorry! Mr. commissar! Frontal attack will start at the same time! Long live the Soviet Union! Long live the great leader of the Soviet Union, comrade Stalin* My husband quickly stood at attention to salute, which made the already angry commissar a little more relaxed.

Now that the attack strategy of two flanks attacking at the same time was determined, the Soviet armored forces on the front line began to prepare. Naturally, the 2nd tank regiment assigned to the plain was overjoyed, and the 1st regiment, which was responsible for attacking Road 9 and woodland, was extremely frustrated. But with the roar of tank engines, the battle began.

Buckle up the tank canopy, a KV-1 tank followed the two T-26 tanks, slowly rushed to the flat area, the radio was noisy, many people were complaining about the messy formation, also complaining about the lack of ammunition.

*Sitting in the position of the captain of the tank, Captain Wolff repeats his command while wearing headphones: "keep the distance between tanks, all tanks use armor piercing bullets to stand by! Keep the distance between tanks! Keep it up

However, when he kept shouting "keep it up", he found that the Soviet tanks in the front row opened fire. Not only did they open fire, but also the captains of these tanks yelled in the earphones. The content of the yelling left a blank in his mind: "German! German tanks! They're coming

After a day's fighting, the captains of the Soviet tank forces are used to a phenomenon that every battle seems to be won by the Germans. However, because of the absolute number of Soviet tanks, these winning German armored forces are also retreating. So in the eyes of most Soviet tankers, even though they suffered heavy losses, they still believed that they were the winners.

Today, this phenomenon has been completely broken. German tanks, which have been retreating all the time, finally appeared and fought back, which made all the Soviet troops feel afraid. They don't know whether they defeated the Germans in the past day or not, and they can't even be sure whether the German troops in front of them were forced to fight back or had premeditated. Unfortunately, there was not much time left for them to hesitate. The 40 Tiger tanks of the 502 heavy tank destroyer battalion of Germany formed a line and killed the endless Soviet tank troops. As soon as the tanks appeared, they launched a volley on a hillside, destroying more than 30 Soviet tanks in a few seconds. The power of the 88mm cannon can be said to be unparalleled. In the distance of kilometers, it is easy to turn the peripheral T-26 tanks into parts“ Captain! Captain* Captain Duff! It's 502 tank battalion! It's the German army Inside the earphone, a voice called out in a nearly collapsed rhythm: "I see it! I see that tank 113! That's him! That's him 502 tank battalion* The driver almost reached out to lift the canopy over his head and jumped out of the car to escape. The terrible German tank battalion crippled the terrible German tank battalion of the 1st regiment of the 1st tank division in charge of the attack on Highway 9? Those more difficult tanks than leopard tanks have long been known by the Red Army of the Soviet Union. They know that the tank is called Tiger type by the German, which is a more terrible super tank. In actual combat, they found that the opponent's tank has more firepower, thicker armor and faster speed than the KV-1 tank“ son of a gun! FireStarter! Fight back! There are not many of them! The two wings of the army encircle the past! Destroy these tanks from behind* The husband orders a way loudly. Just at the same time when his order was given, the left-wing Soviet tank troops were completely covered by a sudden and intensive explosion. Without looking at it, I just heard the explosion and knew that it was the German fibrette rocket. It was because of this rocket attack a few hours ago that they hastily started this retreat and breakthrough“ Boom! Boom With the sound of the explosion, the tank troops of the left-wing Soviet Red Army immediately became a group of burning flames. After the explosion, dozens of tanks gave off thick smoke and exploded violently near the slightly warm shells. Many tanks were damaged engine or track, just like a lost soul beast, paralyzed on the ground motionless. However, when the Rockets attacked, the German tanks stopped advancing and fired another round of shells not far away. These armor piercing shells with the sound of breaking air tore the front armor plates of the Soviet tanks and easily turned one brand-new Soviet tank after another into twisted scrap iron“ Speed up! Speed up! Stick it up! Or we'll be done! "* But he suddenly felt that his tank was shaken violently, and then there was a huge explosion that could be heard through his headphones. He didn't know what happened. He only knew that his head was heavily on the hatch cover, and then he fainted“ Captain* Captain Duff! Wake up When he heard the sound again, he found that the gunner of his tank was staring at him anxiously* Thinking of the current situation of the troops under his command, Fu quickly struggled to sit up, opened his dry and torn lips, and asked in a trembling voice, "are we... Hit?"“ yes! Sir! Our tank was hit by an aerial bomb on the track, which damaged the shock absorber and spring of the load-bearing wheel on one side. The engine is no longer working, and it can't start now. "“ Air bomb? "* My husband found that he just woke up and his brain was a little out of use“ The German tanks didn't continue to attack. They just lured us to form a formation on the plain. In fact, they planned to let the plane deal with us from the beginning. More than 30 Stuka bombers. We almost lost them all! " Almost wiped out? What's the difference between that and total annihilation? This is the encirclement! This is the German encirclement! What's the difference between heavy losses here and defeat? Children and old people at home will not be sent to Siberia because of their failure, will they* I keep thinking about these problems in my mind.
