A new month is about to start again, and it's time to book a monthly pass!

*********

In this case, the Soviet army was very helpless. To be exact, the Soviet tanks were helpless.

The reason for this was that their chassis was located in the tank fortifications and was difficult to move.

They can actually be moved, because this kind of tank fortification is more of a hole in the ground, and the tank is driven into it and then stacked with sandbags rather than actually buried ...... This is so that in the event of an emergency, the tanks will still be able to break free from the fortifications and maneuver.

But they don't dare to act rashly. Moving means that the target is larger and easier to destroy by the enemy.

So they had to stay where they were.

They wanted to fight back, but the visibility inside the tank was so poor that it was still night, not to mention that the enemy was still wrapped in white camouflage and could not be detected.

If ever there was a time when the enemy was able to detect the enemy's position, it was the moment the ME63 flew towards the tank after it was launched.

But at this time, the tank crew was more concerned not with adjusting the muzzle at the target, but with whether the rocket would hit itself.

If the rocket misses, the tank crew came back to their senses to adjust the muzzle, and it was dark again outside and they couldn't find the target.

As a result, the Soviet tanks could only wait in place, waiting for one rocket after another to "whizz" over their heads with fire, or explode near the tanks...... If you hit the tank, you don't need to wait any longer.

Some Soviet tankers finally couldn't hold it anymore, and with a "boom" they started the tank and broke free from the fortifications, hoping to escape from this hopeless battlefield...... But this will only hasten its destruction......

With a few "whoosh" whistles, the tank was blown up in the wake of the ME63 and burst into flames. The effect of this is that the flash of fire and the violent explosion that follows affect the control hand's vision for a period of time, thus reducing the accuracy of hits.

In desperation, the Soviet army even organized a counter-charge against the German army.

This was indeed a solution, because the Germans carried out "targeted killings" in the form of assault teams, so there were not many troops entering the position, except for the ME63 group, which was a few engineers.

However, the Germans had already prepared covering troops under the high ground, and the light and heavy machine guns fired at the high ground with a burst of "whoosh", and the commandos were still equipped with STG44, so a dense rain of bullets quickly knocked them to the ground in rows, and the corpses of Soviet soldiers were everywhere in front of the position for a short time, and some even slipped all the way along the slope and snow to the German soldiers who were ambushed in the snow.

Qin Chuan looked at the battle situation with a telescope and said, "You can withdraw the troops!" ”

"But the lieutenant colonel ......," Eberhard asked, puzzled, "and there are still some tanks that have not been cleared!" ”

"That's not important, Major!" Qin Chuan said: "The remaining Soviet tanks will no longer pose much of a threat to us!" The important thing is our ME63! ”

"You mean ......"

"Yes!" Qin Chuan nodded: "The reason why the Soviets launched a counteroffensive like this is more importantly, they hope to capture a few ME63s, and if they are lucky, they can also capture a few prisoners back, so that they will know the weaknesses of ME63 and even be able to copy it, understand?" ”

Eberhard's face changed, and he hurriedly answered, and then gave the order to retreat.

Qin Chuan was right, the Soviet army did have plans to capture a few ME63s, and this order was personally issued by the commander of the front army, General Vatutin.

His exact words were: "Capture the enemy's new weapons at all costs, even if it is at the expense of a regiment or even the entire line of defense!" ”

As a general who is good at commanding tank troops, Vatutin is well aware of the dangers of this weapon, which can track tanks and change their trajectory and accurately hit the target.

So, after some thought, he decided that what was important now was not the defensive line, the troops or even the tanks, but the secret of this new equipment of the Germans.

If you don't know the secrets of this new equipment and develop targeted tactics, the battle will inevitably fail...... Because the enemy can suppress his own tanks at will, and his own side is helpless.

Then the infantry will only be the object of slaughter in front of the enemy tanks.

Vatutin was quite right, and it can even be said that he had more foresight than Stalin said to hold the third line of defense.

But alas, Vatuin did lose the third line of defense and a division, but he did not get the secret of "new weapons...... In the early morning of the next day, the German 21st Panzer Division launched an attack on the Soviet line under the cover of fighters and bombers.

Since the anti-tank guns and a considerable part of the tanks were removed, the battle was very easy, and the Germans broke through the Soviet defense line in more than half an hour and captured more than 3,000 Soviet troops, including more than 30 tanks buried in the fortifications...... They did not have time to escape from the fortifications, so they were left in place by the tankmen, and most of them were not blown up, that is, they fell into the hands of the Germans intact.

In fact, at this time, the Soviet tank soldiers abandoned their tanks at every turn, and another reason was that they believed that their tanks were just targets for the enemy.

If that's the case, what's the point of keeping or driving these tanks into battle? It's just a tin coffin!

As a soldier, perhaps the most helpless thing is to lose confidence in your equipment.

While the 21st Panzer Division was following the Soviets all the way in pursuit, the command of the 4th Panzer Army changed direction.

Chichner glanced at Walter with a smug smile, straightened his back and reported loudly to General Hoth: "General, the 48th Panzer has broken through the enemy's line and is expected to reach the Yakovlevo Highway in three hours!" ”

General Hort looked at the map, then nodded: "Very good, you guys are even half a day ahead of the scheduled time!" ”

Then General Hoult turned to Walter again and asked: "Where is the 2nd SS Panzer Corps now?" ”

"Still in the third line of defense, General!" Walter replied with a little embarrassment: "We are in a situation in Bykovka, the enemy's defenses are tight......"

"Lieutenant General!" General Hort interrupted Walter: "As far as I know, the 48th Panzer Army has encountered many more enemies than you, and the Soviets have even mobilized an entire elite tank corps to deal with them. And you have only a line of defense...... It took only one night for the 48th Panzer Army to break through, and you were delayed there for a few days! ”

Walter was pale, but he had nothing to say, because the fact was that the 2nd SS Panzer Corps was much better equipped than the 48th Panzer Corps.

At this moment, Lieutenant General Kirchner asked again: "Lieutenant General Walter, do you need our reinforcements?" I think my subordinates still have room for it! ”
