Chapter 1143： 22nd Mechanized Army Reinforcement

"Commander, a huge number of tanks appeared in front of us, and they are attacking us!" Felix frowned upon hearing the news.

After the attack just now, our tanks consumed about a quarter of their fuel, and at the same time they consumed about ten rounds of ammunition. They still have combat effectiveness. Moreover, their own troops’ morale is high, so they can continue to charge. .

However, if the opponent's tanks are too many, it is different. If you are surrounded by the opponent's tank sea, and the tanks that encircle your own side run out of ammunition, it is still very troublesome.

At this time, you can't underestimate the enemy.

But now, retreating is also not a good choice. If you retreat, the opponent's tank will rush up and encircle your side. This is a dilemma. At this time, of course, only the brave wins!

"Master, our HS-129 attack aircraft will arrive in 20 minutes." At this moment, a new message came, strengthening Felix's confidence.

It’s no problem for your own tank unit to insist on 20 minutes, and after 20 minutes, those tank openers above your head can make the opposing tank unit usher in a terrible ending.

"Order the troops in front of us to maintain the attack formation and prepare for the huge Soviet tank troops!" Felix finally made up his mind.

The German tank soldiers have not been afraid of anything!

At the same time, the Soviet tank soldiers on the opposite side were also full of momentum.

The Soviet 22nd Mechanized Army is a mechanized army of wills belonging to the Kiev Military District. They finally arrived on the battlefield at this critical time.

At the same time, they also knew that a battle of tanks broke out ahead, so they turned into a battle formation during the march.

The 22nd Mechanized Corps included the 19th and 41st Tank Divisions, the 215th Mechanized Division, and the 23rd Mechanized Regiment. Now, the tank units of the two tank divisions have opened a wide offensive surface in the field.

Although it is a little messy, it is roughly arranged according to a fifty-meter tank. One hundred tanks spread out for a full five kilometers, and there are seven rows of tanks like this!

Yes, they have more than 700 tanks, and they are advancing toward the German tank unit. In contrast, the more than 100 tanks on the opposite side are simply drizzle.

In history, when the Barbarossa project started, although the Soviet Union had tens of thousands of tanks, the number of advanced T-34 and KV tanks was not more than a thousand, but now, great changes have taken place.

When the German tank troops were racing across Europe, the Soviet Union was already tense. T-34 tanks and KV tanks were being mass-produced and equipped. Now, almost all of them are assigned to the 22nd Mechanized Army. There are more than three hundred vehicles. It can be said that the first three rows are almost all of this kind.

In the front row, there are more than 80 KV-2 tanks, mixed with 20 Stalin tanks, the middle two rows are all T-34s, the latter ones are some of the early equipped T-26 and Such goods as the BT series tank.

The more advanced Stalin tanks were not equipped in their troops. Their current tanks were already quite powerful.

Especially those KV-2 tanks with big head toilet heads!

Now, Modlin hasn't paid special attention to the Stalin tanks. From two kilometers away, the toilet head is still particularly dazzling. From this perspective, the Stalin tanks seem to be similar to the T-34, they are all perfectly round. turret.

"Attention, using sub-caliber armor-piercing bullets, we have to kill them at a long distance!" Modlin shouted loudly on the radio: "Aim at those toilet heads first!"

The PzGr.40-caliber tungsten core armor-piercing projectile, which is the code name of the armor-piercing projectile in history, is the latest tungsten carbide armor-piercing projectile developed by Germany. The penetration depth is quite amazing.

However, this sub-caliber is not a shelling armor-piercing projectile, just a layer of soft material on the core. But now, the code name of this armor-piercing projectile has been given to the newly produced shelling armor-piercing projectile.

The performance of this armor-piercing ammunition is quite advanced. Each tank carries about five pieces. After all, it is expensive and cannot be used casually. Now, it is finally possible to come up with its own housekeeping magic weapon!

Not only the Tiger tanks, but the Panther 3 tanks in the Bell Formation are also equipped with a certain number of shelling armor-piercing shells. Anyway, their tank guns have the same caliber and are completely universal.

The bell-shaped tank formation continued to move forward. In the galloping tank, the loader steadily stuffed the armor-piercing projectile into the barrel and shouted loudly: "Sub-caliber armor-piercing projectile, loading is complete!"

"Attention, fire at a distance of one kilometer!"

In fact, German armor-piercing projectiles have enough penetration even at a distance of two kilometers. But now, both sides are moving at high speed. In order to ensure sufficient attack accuracy, they must be placed at a distance of one kilometer. Let’s talk about it. Under normal circumstances, Soviet tank guns have sufficient accuracy only at a distance of 500 meters. Beyond 500 meters, almost all of the artillery shells are shot. , It is definitely bad luck to hit the tank.

However, what the German tank soldiers did not expect was that the Soviets opened fire earlier!

"Attention, the distance is two kilometers, fire!"

The Soviet tanks were separated by a large distance from each other, so that when they opened fire, they needed to stop, and it would not affect the progress of the tanks behind them.

Now, the KV-2 tank suddenly stopped at a distance of 2,000 meters. Then, with a bang, a blast of black smoke came out of the muzzle, and a 152 mm grenade flew out of the muzzle towards this point. The German tank formation on the side shoots over!

What happened to the Soviets? Is this stupid?

Looking at the gun barrels of the Soviet tank troops on the opposite side, a puff of black smoke emerged. The German tank soldiers here were surprised. With their guns, the error might be up to ten meters at this distance. Can it hurt yourself?

"Boom!" Sure enough, a 152 mm grenade exploded in an open space more than 20 meters away from the bell formation. It lifted up a few meters of dust and caused the German tank soldiers to boo in the radio.

The Soviets are wasting their shells! The large-caliber artillery shells they had originally carried weren't many, but now they are so indifferent consumption!

"Boom!" At this moment, another shell suddenly fell into the inside of the bell-shaped tank formation on this side, and almost exactly hit the left track of a Panther 3 tank on the right side of the formation. The front.

"Wow..." The track was blown off, and the driver of this tank didn't react temporarily. When he felt the tank started to turn, he realized that something was wrong and pulled the brakes urgently.
