773 is on the verge of exploding
(Sorry, broken promise...... I have experienced a lot of bad things during the day, and I may have been rectified, and the whole process can be made into a city. I didn't have time in the evening, so I had to post a chapter in a repetitive new style. I'll try to upload the new chapter as soon as possible, so please understand. )
The super-caliber grenade was fired, but only one KV-1 stopped due to the broken track, and the others were still approaching.
A few more shells fell on the German positions, and this time more people died than last time.
Seeing the behemoth Soviet KV-1 tank approaching, Predic was so angry that he grabbed a gunner and shouted: "You reload, I'll aim myself!"
Predic, as the company commander, personally operated the 37-mm gun, which was obviously on the small caliber side, and fired several more shells. Soon, another KV-1 tank was paralyzed on the road.
Seeing that it was the tanks of the Soviet army that were getting deeper and deeper, 50 meters, 30 meters, 20 meters......
The KV-1 is no longer firing, ready to crush these 37-mm anti-tanks that can't help them with dozens of tons of steel and the German artillery that Predic is bringing these deadly German artillerymen.
The gunner next to Predic had been killed, but he still hadn't retreated.
Not only him, but the entire artillery position, not a single living person is retreating.
For the first time, Soviet tankmen saw the fanaticism and tenacity of the SS.
This is a desperate way of playing, these Germans, on the premise that they are almost all about to die together, fight the tanks!
It's only 10 meters away!
"Fire!"
On the orders of Predic, the last few super-caliber grenades finally shredded the front armor of one KV-1 tank at close range, and in addition shattered the tracks of one tank.
But another tank had already run over in the direction of Predic.
At this distance, not to mention flesh and blood, even the artillery next to Predicci could not withstand such a collision from the KV-1 tank.
"Damn it!" Predic leaped to the side with agility and jumped into a trench to avoid the Soviet tank for "deliberately hitting people".
And when he looked back, the 37-mm anti-tank gun he had used just now had been crushed into a pile of scrap metal by the huge KV-1 tank.
Not only the anti-tank gun used by Predic, but the entire 37-mm PAK35 gun position was destroyed by the charge of Soviet tanks.
About half of the Soviet tanks were destroyed or damaged, but most of them were thin-skinned light tanks like the T-26, and only a few were KV-1 heavy tanks that were damaged at an extremely close distance.
The infantry on the other side of the position, without the cover of artillery positions, and the Soviet tank clusters that turned to the position were able to bombard the trenches and fire points in the fortress with impunity.
"Ulla!"
Predic, who was attached to the wall of the trench, seemed to be able to hear the roar of the charge inside the Soviet tank.
Faced with such a situation, Predic not only did not panic, but showed a hint of a funny smile: "I thought I could endure enough, but I still can't compare to you......"
At this moment, several 88-mm anti-aircraft guns were pushed up the flank heights of the 37-mm anti-tank artillery positions. It seems that they have long been lying in ambush on the anticline and waiting for an opportunity.
Predic just didn't expect that these colleagues who operated anti-aircraft guns would be able to endure until their side was broken through before launching a surprise attack on the Soviet tank cluster concentrated on the positions of Predic's company.
Thinking of this, Predic suddenly realized more deeply the feelings of those front-line infantrymen just now - they were really tormented waiting for artillery support to arrive.
The long-range, high-rate 88-mm guns immediately exerted their power, quickly destroying several T-26s, and then began to move on the KV-1, which they had just felt helpless to Predic.
This time, the KV-1 tank finally felt the threat. After the complete destruction of 2 KV-1 tanks, the Soviet commander gave the order to retreat.
In the headquarters of the front-line division of the Imperial Division, when the Soviet tank group lost its last impact only a few dozen meters from the anti-aircraft position, and gradually began to retreat, Major General Paul Hausser, who had repelled the powerful charge of the Soviet tanks in the first engagement, finally felt a little more relaxed.
"Division commander, let me bring an armored reinforced battalion to press up and destroy these Soviet heavy tanks."
The commander of the Führer's Regiment, who had been holding his breath for a long time and was ready to avenge the infantry and artillery, left when he saw this, and rushed up to ask for his life.
"Okay, I'll let you go ......"
Major General Paul was about to give the order, but he suddenly felt that the retreat of the Soviet army was a little strange.
"No......" Paul said to himself.
"What's wrong, Commander!" The commander of the Führer's regiment continued to ask: "The Soviet tanks are about to retreat, let me seize the opportunity to lead the troops to counter-charge!" ”
Shaking his head, Paul explicitly stopped the offer of a counterattack this time.
He pointed to the battlefield in the distance and analyzed: "You see, the retreat of the Soviet tanks was completely without the cover of infantry and artillery fire, but was defeated in a straight line. After fighting us for so long, the commanders of the Soviets should not still be making such low-level mistakes as they did in the early days of the war. ”
Sure enough, the division commander Paul and the head of the Führer Regiment immediately faintly heard a roar in the distance in the sky.
It wasn't until this voice came out that Paul immediately understood - the Soviets had sent bombers!
"All troops into position! Hidden, hidden!" Paul roared wildly and gave his orders.
Standing aside, the regiment commander suddenly felt very glad that he did not lead the tank unit to pursue, otherwise it would be equivalent to sending a plate of "fat meat" to the Soviet bombers.
Soon, Soviet bombers were flying over the positions of the Reich divisions, a medium-sized Soviet air force that dropped high-explosive bombs on the German positions as fast as they could. Because they knew that if they did not move quickly, they would be annihilated by the German attack aircraft force that was immediately chasing them.
At this time, in the observation post of the front command of the Imperial Division, the near positions were completely invisible, because there was dust and smoke everywhere. The soldiers huddled in their trenches, and screams were heard from outside.
It's less than ten minutes, but it's like a century has passed. Until the Soviet bombers finally dropped all the bombs, circled a few times and flew away.
Predic in the trench had just shown his head, but he didn't expect the Soviets to start shelling from ground artillery again. A few minutes later, the artillery fire gradually extended, and the Soviet infantry went on the offensive under the cover of heavy artillery fire. The soldiers shouted "Ula" and rushed in droves towards the positions of the Imperial divisions.
I'm going to update the chapters as soon as possible, and I'll say it in the book review section later.
