At this moment, the entire battlefield is like a doughnut, spreading layer by layer from the inside out.
In the innermost part are the armored units of the German Viking Division. They are being surrounded by Soviet tank regiments. Surrounding them are two Soviet tank divisions. Outside of these two tank divisions, there are two German armored divisions coming from the south. They have twice as many tanks as the Soviets. Now these tanks are rapidly attacking the Soviet tanks. On the horizon in the distance, in the other direction, the two armored divisions coming from upstream have also pounced on the Soviets.
Germany's powerful armored army group, on the east bank of the Sterry River, surrounded the main force of the Soviet 22 Mechanized Army. At this time, a larger steel collision kicked off.
Almost the same, they chose to use the bell-shaped formation, the leading Tiger tank, and the Panther 3 tanks on both sides, holding the gun barrels high, while advancing, and firing at the Soviet tanks.
At this time, the remaining number of Stalin tanks and KV-2 tanks of the Soviets is not much. Under the encirclement of the large number of armored regiments in Germany, their fate can be imagined.
Once the 22nd Mechanized Army is eaten, there will be no effective resistance on the road to Kiev, and almost all of them are already in a vacuum.
The army in the south did a great job, and at this time, in the middle, the German armored soldiers were also doing miracles.
Compared with other offensive forces, the advancement of the 3rd Armored Group was pretty smooth. They hardly encountered decent confrontations, and their goal was to advance to Minsk, the capital of Belarus, in one go.
What are the Soviets doing? Actually let your own huge army group swagger forward?
If it were not for years of experience, it would be like a trap for the German tank soldiers to charge without scruples.
One after another, tanks were advancing rapidly in the field, and in front of them was Vilnius.
20th Armored Division, 21st Armored Regiment.
One by one, Panther 3 tanks, with black smoke coming from their tail engines, were advancing on the plain. Up to now, Panther 3 tanks are still the backbone of the German tank soldiers.
On a tank, a tanker with a slightly thin body showed half of his body from above, and his face was still young and tender at this time.
Otto Karjus, born in 1922, was only 20 years old this year. When he was young, his ideal was to become a musician, but when he grew up, under the influence of the surrounding environment, He yearned for himself to be a proud tank soldier all the time. (There are also those translated as Karius, alone. German tank ace.)
However, the previous applications failed because he was not weighed enough, his figure was a little thin, and people with insufficient physical fitness could not become soldiers.
However, last year, due to the large-scale expansion of the German tank force, he finally got his wish and entered the tank force. He trained in the 7th armored reserve battalion for a year, where he showed his talents. .
His weak body was destined to be impossible to carry shells and become a loader. He finally got his wish and became a gunner. When he operated a tank gun, he showed a high degree of accuracy. Live fire was always the first.
He is simply born a tank soldier! This is the battalion commander's evaluation of him.
Later, at the beginning of this year, their armored reserve battalion was integrated into the 21st armored regiment as a whole, and finally went on the battlefield.
Karyus longed for his own battle, but they were just marching along the way.
The inside of the tank is quite uncomfortable, so when marching, the hatches of the turret are all open, revealing half of the body, and you can breathe fresh air. Only when fighting, will you retract into the turret.
On the other side of Karyus, the captain was also looking into the distance, attacking the place where the sun rises, and hitting Moscow all the way to destroy this evil red country.
Their tanks were on the side of the formation, and Karyus looked at the surrounding hills with excitement on his face.
Suddenly, Karyus pricked his ears. Amidst the roar of the tank, there seemed to be a strange sound?
Karyus' gaze swept around, and suddenly, a plane painted with a five-pointed star appeared on their side.
"Enemy!" Karyus shouted loudly, and at the same time, he swiftly got into his turret.
Being thin and weak also has an advantage, that is, it is quick to move. Just look at the monkey and it is quite agile.
"Tom Tom Tom!" This surprise Il-2 fired at the tank troops here. The 20mm cannon easily tore the captain's body, and the captain's upper body was blown up and bloody. The entire turret was dyed red.
"Kosher, hurry up drive up the **** ahead!" When he saw the blood flowing down the turret, Karjus knew that the captain had been killed, and he was too late to grieve. of.
Many new recruits are fainted when they are on the battlefield. When they see death for the first time, their brains are blank, but Karjus is not. At this moment, he only thought of how to avenge his commander.
Yes, shoot down that plane!
The opponent skimmed through the marching queue of one's own side and crossed it sideways. Then, the opponent would definitely turn around and come back. At that time, kill the plane.
When the commander was killed, the artillery commander would take over the power of the commander, so after Karjus gave the order, the driver Kosher in front did not hesitate, stepped on the accelerator, and the Panther 3 tank rumblingly opened. Up.
The front of the car body was tilted up to give the tank gun a higher elevation angle. Karjus reduced the gun sight to have a larger field of view. He shouted to the loader: "Grenade, quick !"
At this time the loader hasn't reacted yet, what is Karyus going to do? However, after repeated rigorous training, he immediately executed the order, and within a few seconds, an 88mm grenade was stuffed into the barrel.
"The filling is complete."
During the march, the tanks were lined up in a long snake formation, so although they were equipped with anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, they could not immediately react. In the past few days, the Luftwaffe had almost mastered the air supremacy. There is such a single plane that can come and harass.
On the Il-2 assault plane, the pilot Pokaf pushed the joystick, and the fighter turned around again, ready to attack the German tanks again. The speed was a bit faster just now, and a tank was not destroyed. This time, he had to slow down. ()
