721 Carjus
The German Leopard quickly showed that it had more firepower, was more maneuverable, and built a well-crafted tank with the level of quality it deserved. The German armored battalion, taking advantage of the high rate of artillery fire, rushed ahead of the Soviets for a second salvo.
This time, with the crosshairs, the German armored battalion immediately removed the turret of a BT tank. Another Soviet tank had its tracks broken and stopped to become a fixed target.
Immediately, the shells fired by the second salvo of Soviet tanks also poured on the head of Tank No. 3, and this round of shelling indirectly caused the German No. 107 tank to fall into a crater by mistake and temporarily unable to get out.
At this moment, 12 Leopard tanks on the right flank suddenly appeared in the rear of the Soviet tanks. After all, the armor of Soviet tanks is generally the thickest in the front, and the side and rear are soft underbelly, and the Soviet tanks that are firing at the German tanks in front of them have no way to turn their heads for a while.
In this way, the blow launched by the Germans on the right flank suddenly became a devastating surprise attack.
"Turret 1 o'clock direction! Target enemy armored vehicles, armor-piercing shells ready! Distance 800!" The hoarse shouts of the chariot were heard in Karjus's headphones, and the moment he first encountered the enemy, Private Karjus smelled the breath of war.
It is even strange that at an earlier age, he had a premonition that he would be ambushed by Soviet tanks.
This sixth sense is often a sudden feeling that has no reason at all. Many people have fought all their lives and can't tell what this feeling is. But it is often this kind of sixth sense that has no scientific basis that can often save a soldier's life on the battlefield, which is something that many front-line soldiers can encounter but cannot seek.
And Karyus is this kind of heavenly darling who has a sixth sense that naturally helps him to participate in war.
Fire!
Karjus quickly completed his reload and immediately set his eyes on the viewing window.
There was a puff of smoke outside, and 50mm tungsten core armor-piercing shells easily overturned the bulky BA-10 armored vehicles, and several others caught fire. Due to Germany's large accumulation of tungsten ore resources before the war, coupled with the seizure of a large number of strategic reserves in Britain some time ago. So, at this time, the ration of shells for the German armored forces was, in fact, quite generous.
This is also the reason why Karyus was able to generously take out tungsten core armor-piercing shells against the not very powerful Soviet tanks.
Kill the chicken with a knife! It's wasteful, but it's good enough!
After the third salvo, all Soviet tanks were not moving.
Immediately afterward, Karyus heard the ceasefire order from the battalion commander in his headset.
Karyus couldn't believe that this tank duel of the same size would end so quickly. It wasn't until the first captives slowly walked by his hatch that he confirmed the fact that the Soviet armored forces were real rookies!
Although the same number of Soviet armored units of the same size were eliminated in one fell swoop, the battalion commander, Captain Conrad, did not slack off in the slightest.
Under Conrad's order, the 602nd Panzer Battalion, which was one of the many vanguards of the masses of Army Group Center, did not take a moment of rest, and the commanders of each company, after simply checking the route and watches, threw down 3 damaged tanks and advanced again.
That night, it was not until it was completely dark that the 602 Armored Battalion stopped advancing and began to camp for the night.
In the evenings, Calyus, who was a loader during the day, took up a part-time job as an electromechanical clerk at night, taking radio programs during his breaks.
This work is usually done by newcomers or privates. When everyone can rest, these privates, who are theoretically cared for by veterans during the day, have to work harder to serve the veterans at night.
The commander, gunner, and driver all sat comfortably in the back, waiting for 21:57 for Private Karjus to come and point the band at the "Wehrmacht Radio" in Belgrade on time to listen to the radio after-program prepared for the officers and men.
Although this life is a little tiring, however, Karjus is also very happy. In fact, he was very fortunate that he was able to join the army.
And joining the armored forces, which have been advertised as the heroes of the "Blitzkrieg", is even more proud of Karjus.
Born in Soppebürgen, Rhineland, southwestern Germany, Karjus twice asked to join the army after passing the college entrance examination, but was unable to enlist because of his lack of weight.
It was not until May 1940 that Karjus, who had successfully "gained weight", finally reached the weight standard and joined the 104th Reserve Infantry Battalion of the Wehrmacht.
After completing a series of military training, he was sent to the 20th Regiment of the 21st Panzer Division, where he served as a tank loader on a PzKpf38t light tank.
This tank loader's job was done by Karjuus for a year.
It was only this year, after Field Marshal Bock ordered a general counteroffensive on Army Group Center on 22 June, that Karjus officially participated in Barbarossa's campaign against the Soviet Union.
He is very fortunate and cherishes this. As for the tiredness and hard work, anyway, someone has to do the work of those mechanical and electrical workers, and it is nothing to do it yourself. It's enough to be able to join the army, to participate in such world wars, to serve your country, to be one of the thousands of heroes.
As for more, Karyus also killed 1 Soviet tank today, which is already worth it for him to go back and write a letter to his family to brag about for a long time.
I think that back then, even the army couldn't get in, and now he actually killed a tank of the Soviet invaders!
This is quite a proud achievement.
And for Karjus, who is in the Wehrmacht's armoured unit, this is just the beginning.
His dream was to become a tank commander like Michel Wittmann, who was already famous in the SS Panzer Forces!
While serving in the SS, Wittmann commanded the then No. 4 tank, the T3 tank, in the Polish campaign and became a celebrity who drove German tanks to slaughter Polish cavalry.
With the fire of the nonsense story of "cavalry fighting tanks", Weitmann, the initiator of this great achievement, suddenly became a famous figure among the world's tank commanders, and was worshiped as an idol by tank commanders from all over the world and soldiers who dreamed of becoming tank commanders.
Today, Karjus is a loader of Tank 5, the Panther. His tank is one level higher than Wittman's No. 4 tank, and his ultimate dream is to play a more brilliant record than Wittman!
The "here......" radio was received on time, and a song was sung by a young soldier.
In the midst of this song, Karyus returned to his seat and enjoyed the evening rest with his comrades......
