In Karyus's opinion, it is definitely not a good weapon, not even a qualified one.

However, the sense of oppression it brought on the battlefield, and the inaccurate but powerful firepower, could definitely be said to be an unprecedented challenge for the German armored forces.

At least its appearance gave the Soviet military a theoretical means to destroy German tanks at a long distance.

The infantry was dispersed and deployed around the village. No one knows if there will be secret artillery positions of the Soviets nearby, and no one can afford to lose them if they are raided.

This damn Soviet giant tank still has to be preserved, and it has to be guarded by soldiers. The technical department and the senior officers had to come to visit in order to learn about the enemy's weapons as soon as possible.

Neither the company commander's tank nor Kent's car No. 112 entered the village, and the Leopard tanks of the two men were parked outside the village, but the men followed the battalion headquarters to the edge of the village.

The Soviets introduced new weapons, and the damage to the Germans was actually not great - not even a single German tank was destroyed.

In fact, from the beginning of the battle to the end of the battle, it did almost nothing except scare the German armored soldiers into a cold sweat and kill a few infantrymen.

However, it did cause a lot of trouble to the company commander, and its two consecutive artillery attacks almost bombed the company commander's car into the sky.

"Hey! Karjus! Thank you! The company commander walked up and said hello, with a smile on his face.

"You killed this big guy, I don't know if the above will give you the record of two tanks." Kent looked at the big guy not far away and said with some envy.

Because of the smoke and the perspective, Kent did not find the firing Soviet tank until the end.

So, from the beginning to the end of the battle, this hapless crew did not have any outstanding performance, except for a high-explosive bomb and a smoke bomb.

In the distance, Wehrmacht infantry were cleaning the battlefield, the bodies of a dozen German soldiers lay on the ground, and several soldiers were digging pits to bury the warriors who had died in a foreign land.

Blood spread and seeped through the dirt, and there was a smell of sulfur in the air, and there was some smell of blood.

The battalion commander was working with the officers at the battalion headquarters on a map of the Soviets, which showed that the road through the village stretched to the forest side in the distance.

The road connects another small village, and a short distance east of that village is another town.

That town was called Smilovich, and if they had taken it, they would have surrounded Minsk on almost three sides.

Therefore, now the battalion commander is discussing whether to gather some tanks and cooperate with the infantry in his hands to attack the next village.

Now they have in their hands one Leopard tank of 1 company that has just arrived, and two assault guns No. 3.

With these heavy weapons and equipment, they can put together 4 tanks and 2 assault guns to attack the next village.

However, there was some disagreement, mainly because of the encounter with a Soviet giant tank, the KV-2.

This tank was produced in the USSR around 1940 and was the product of a correction of the insufficient armor of the T-26 tank.

It was a positional assault vehicle on the chassis of the KV-1 tank with a larger tank turret attached.

From the day it was born, it was not built to attack enemy tanks, it was aimed at those immobile groups of German border pillboxes.

Unfortunately, after the outbreak of the war, before these tanks reached the front line, and before the Soviet Union encountered the heavy losses of the German bunker group, the Soviet Union was fully transferred to a defensive state.

Therefore, there are not so many pillboxes and fixed targets, waiting for KV-2 to break through the position of the tank to attack.

Soon, the German armored forces, advancing at high speed, became the target of these behemoths. Unfortunately, the KV-2 was not designed to deal with tanks at all.

To counter the dense fire of enemy troops and the attack of anti-tank guns, the KV-2 tank was equipped with heavy armor.

And in order to attack the enemy's pillbox, it is also equipped with a 152 mm caliber howitzer, which can be described as a strong force.

However, the KV-2 tank did pay a great price in order to retain these powerful guns and invulnerable armor.

Due to the uniform hull, the KV-2 tank inherited many of the problems of the KV-1 tank in terms of gears, transmission system and crew compartment.

What's worse is that after the improvement, its own weight has increased dramatically, sometimes even reaching a terrible level of 58 tons, so it has brought a catastrophic burden to its own walking mechanism.

The 373 kW V-12 diesel engine used in the KV-1 tank it was equipped with was significantly insufficient, all of which contributed to the serious shortcomings of the KV-2's maneuverability in combat.

In addition, in order to equip the feared 152 mm howitzer, the turret of the KV-2 tank was sickly huge.

As a result, the tank is very slow to turn its turret - it is absolutely wishful thinking to expect it to turn the turret to aim at the enemy.

What's even worse is that the artillery of this tank uses howitzers, so the trajectory is really unsatisfactory.

Expecting this slightly curved trajectory to hit a moving German tank, Soviet crews mostly relied on faith.

Even so, the appearance of the KV-2 tank caused terrible psychological fear among the German tankmen.

Because at this time, except for the 88 mm caliber cannons equipped with tank units, almost no weapon could successfully destroy this behemoth.

Before the advent of this type of tank, the tactics of the German tanks were to destroy the Soviet tanks as far away as possible, and the Soviet tanks desperately approached the German tanks to launch their own attacks.

Now, if the KV-2 enters the war, Germany will have to approach the Soviet tank in turn and find a way to destroy it......

……

"What? You mean Guderian's troops, really ran into that kind of monster? When Brauchitsch learned the latest news from the front, he was speechless in shock.

He did not at all expect that an industrially backward country like the Soviet Union could produce a tank that was at least superficially more powerful than the Leopard tank.

That's why Soviet tanks have always performed well in the game - they have always failed on uncountable data and strong on paper.

Judging purely from the firepower and armor of Soviet tanks, it seems that Soviet tanks have always been very superior.

However, if you add things such as the sighting system, the fire control system, the reaction speed and ergonomics, etc., the Soviet tank will not be very good.

Therefore, when a person plays a tank game, it is impossible to experience the problem of the Soviet tank that the game simulated.

Obviously, a player who plays a Soviet tank can't change a garbage keyboard with often unresponsive keystrokes, and then don't sit on a wooden bench on a couch and play games, right?

Unfortunately, none of this was Brauchitsch's concern, he needed to be concerned about why the troops on the front line would report this tank as if it were a new tank.

As early as more than 40 days ago, he clearly remembered that the Führer held an operational meeting and focused on the advantages and disadvantages of Soviet tanks.

At that meeting, Adrian, the intelligence officer of the Führer's Supreme Command, gave a detailed explanation of the sketches of the KV-2 tank, as well as other performance data.

It seems that many army generals, like him, did not emphasize this matter as an important matter at all, and this caused the grassroots troops to be at a loss.

In this battle between the Soviet Union and Germany, each side wanted to launch an offensive operation before the other was ready.

But again, both sides, like their opponents, were not ready for a real offensive battle.

There was confusion to varying degrees in all the deployments, and there were various errors in the coordination of the Air Force and the Army, including the arrangement of the logistics troops.

And in the midst of these mistakes, intelligence about the enemy's tanks, naturally, is also likely to be forgotten in the corner.

It has to be said that this is definitely a worse war than anyone: the Germans are already in a mess, but unfortunately the Soviets are even more chaotic, and they have ossified even the basic local arrangements.

Resistance turned into a refueling tactic that allowed the Germans to annihilate a large number of Soviet forces. The defeat of the Soviet Union was a failure in every link from top to bottom, and no one can be blamed.

"Hey! As a training office? I'm Brauchitsch! Right! I want your director to ......" Brauchitsch thought of this, grabbed the phone, and inquired about the relevant departments on the matter.

When the other party answered the call, Brauchitsch scolded: "The troops at the front met the KV-2 heavy tank that intelligence said!" They hadn't heard of this weapon, and they reported it as a new weapon! ”

"Sir! We just don't have enough time! The key is to take into account secrecy, and it is impossible to mobilize grassroots commanders to pass on information...... "When this matter was mentioned, the general in charge of the matter on the other side complained bitterly."

Listening to his voice that was about to cry, Brauchitsch seemed to be able to understand the helplessness and grievance: "Your Excellency, Marshal, we only want to find a way to popularize a third of the armored forces, and the war will begin!" ”

"That's it! All right! I'm not calling to complain! Now there is no need to keep secrets! Hurry up and spread the information! Including the performance of enemy tanks! Don't mess around anymore! Brauchitsch roared depressedly.

The general on the other side of the phone hurriedly reassured: "Sir! Rest assured! I'm going to get the job done! ”

Depressed and hung up the phone, Brauchitsch felt that it was necessary to report this matter to the Führer, so he stood up, prepared to put on his military uniform, and went to the Führer's office on the other side of the corridor.
