Chapter 1545: A Narrow Road Encounter
Whatever you are afraid of, you will come.
The light rain fell all night, until the follow-up maintenance platoon arrived and hoisted the overturned rat tank, and the light rain still did not stop.
If it was pouring rain, it would have been even more terrible, but now even if it was a light rain, it had fallen all night, and the ground had already fallen.
The tracks of the tank, crushing the soft ground, drove forward.
They want to catch up with their own company.
The 1800 horsepower aero engine at the tail is roaring one after another, the huge power is converted into electricity, and then the current drives the two-day high-power electric motor on the side.
The tracks more than a meter wide are crushing the ground, and the ruts in front are still very clear.
Poking his head out of the cab, Schmidt felt the misty drizzle and looked at the smoke-like vision ahead, his brow furrowed.
I can't see it clearly!
Germany's domestic infrastructure is quite good, high-grade roads are everywhere, even in later generations, many highways in Germany were built before World War II, which shows how good the quality of roads in Germany is.
Europe is not as good as Germany, and the road conditions in the Soviet Union are even worse, there are very few hardened roads, most of them are dirt roads, and once it rains, the traffic is quite inconvenient.
This is also the movement of building roads immediately after Germany occupied Belarus, just to meet the needs of Germany, after all, in addition to railways, road transportation is also a very important way.
In other places, this condition is not the same, Moscow, as the capital of the Soviet Union, in several regions near Moscow, the transportation conditions are still very poor.
Outside the small city of Otrakinkis, the northern city of Orel, the roads have become muddy.
In particular, the light rain made the surroundings foggy, and at a fork in the road, Schmidt walked along the road without much hesitation, and could not see the sun, could not find the direction, Schmidt did not know, he was on the wrong path.
Turn left to Mtsensk, and now after going straight, the road slowly turns to the right, all the way in the direction of Zhinoli.
"Call the battalion headquarters on the 108th, call the battalion headquarters on the 108th." Inside the turret, Hans shouted loudly with a radiophone in his hand.
But there was nothing in it except radio noise.
"What's going on?" Hans said, "Could it be that this damn rainy day has caused our radio to fail?" ”
The reliability of the radio station made of transistors is already quite high, but there are still accidents, and now, their radio communication is not smooth.
"Keep going." Hans said, "Let's catch up with our troops." ”
Since you can't get in touch, let's catch up and talk about it.
At the same time, Hans was also a little puzzled, it is said that as his side gets closer to the front line, the sound of gunfire should be getting louder and louder, right, now, why can't he hear any sound? Is it because it's raining, so there is no war?
This is not in line with our own style, nor is it in line with the character of the Soviets, this rainy day should be more beneficial to the Soviet Union.
In the drizzle, they continued on their way, and suddenly, in the hazy rain and fog, tanks came out.
When Schmidt saw the tanks, he was first excited: "Well, we have finally met our companions." ”
Those tanks are a little strange, the turret is angular, like your own tank, after all, most of the Soviets' cast turrets are flattened and spherical, but how can there be a bright red five-pointed star on the turret?
In an instant, he felt the hairs on his back stand up: "Tanks, tanks of the Soviets!" It's only thirty meters from us! ”
In the drizzle, thirty meters away can be seen, which is already the limit, and when these tanks come through the rain and fog, Schmidt never dreamed that they were actually Soviets.
The long-awaited battle came like this, and it came so quickly that Hans simply didn't have time to rejoice.
"Secondary cannon, reload armor-piercing shells, quick!" Hans shouted loudly, and in the midst of the jolt, the loader picked up 75 mm armor-piercing shells and stuffed them into the breech.
"Reloaded."
"Prepare to ramble!"
It was too late, just after they loaded, the distance between the two sides was close to within ten meters, and the Soviet tankmen on the opposite side were even more short-sighted, and at this time, they found a behemoth moving over.
It's too late to aim, so let's hit it first.
When the rat tank slammed into it, the Soviet tanks here realized that something was wrong, and they braked anxiously to dodge, but to no avail.
The 1,800-horsepower aero engine roared, the tracks rattled and stirred up countless dirt, and then Schmidt noticed a surprising phenomenon that the opponent's turret could not turn.
Yes, the opponent has a fixed turret, which means that it is not a tank, but a self-propelled gun, and at the same time, the thick barrel looks quite powerful, which is a new equipment that has not been seen on the other side!
If the turret could be turned, the enemy would have avoided the impact, but now, the thick barrel of the opponent's self-propelled gun first hit the tall hull armor of the mouse tank.
In the violent impact sound, the barrel was bent in an instant, but fortunately, the impact force of the car body was greatly reduced by relying on the cushioning of the barrel.
Even so, the violent impact made the Soviet soldiers inside the car feel trembling all over their bodies, and their ears kept ringing.
"Fire!" Although the situation came out of nowhere, the Soviet armorers in the car were not afraid, quickly reloaded, and then pressed the launch button.
"Boom!" A huge explosion came from the inside of the car, and in the explosion, billowing smoke came out of the entire car body, and the flames jumped up more than ten meters high.
This scene made the tank crews of the rat tanks on the opposite side couldn't help but be staggered, what are the Soviets doing? Isn't that self-harm? Knowing that his barrel is bent and he still fires the cannon, is there any other result than exploding the chamber?
At the moment of the explosion, the backfire detonated the ammunition in the body of the car, and such a spectacular scene was formed.
At the same time, the fire that ignited also made the tank soldiers see more clearly, there were more than a dozen vehicles of the same model coming in front, which was the size of a company, and now, when they met on a narrow road, the other side had an absolute numerical advantage!
"Kill it!" Here, Yakov, the company commander of the SU-152 self-propelled anti-tank gun company, shouted loudly that the radio of the electron tube, which worked well at close range, could be heard by the whole company: "Rush up, go around to the back and hit it!" ”
