Chapter 104: Tank VS Sniper

Major General Walter took an hour to arrive at the battlefield, at this time the German front had broken through to the Soviets, Walter saw that the German infantry of the brigade was retreating, trying to establish a new line of defense to stop the Soviet attack, he immediately ordered his tank detachment to attack and block the Soviet offensive.

Suddenly, a shell flew and exploded not far from the armored car that Walter was riding, and the air wave came head-on, almost overturning the armored car, and the driver was frightened, desperately playing the steering wheel to dodge, and almost crashed into a tank of his own.

The armored car finally stopped, and Walter hurriedly jumped out of the car, ran into a trench, raised his binoculars, and observed the battle.

In the smoke of gunpowder, he soon saw a Russian "KV-1" heavy tank with the words "Crush Fascist" written in large Russian characters in white paint. Behind this tank were brigades of Russian soldiers. Unlike in the past, today's ragged and muddy Russian soldiers look like beasts, shouting "Ula! "Lunge forward and fight with the German soldiers.

Unlike the "KV" tanks that were fired in the past and did not fire much, today's "KV-1" tank has unusually fierce and accurate artillery fire.

The tank rushed to the front to provide cover for the Russian infantry behind, and Walter noticed that whenever someone fired at it, whether it was a shell or a bullet, it could immediately fire back and hit the target accurately.

Just as it was running through a trench, a German mortar group fired a mortar shell at it, which exploded next to its hull, and it immediately turned its turret, aimed at the position of the mortar group, and sent the gun group into the sky with one shot. Then a bunker's machine gun fired at it, it quickly turned the turret, a cannon blew up the bunker, from the side of the bunker rushed out of a "3" assault gun to fire at it, it launched a counterattack almost at the same time, Walter saw that the shells on both sides hit the target instantly, but the result was completely different, the shell that hit the "KV-1" tank bounced off, and the "3" assault gun knocked a hole, and suddenly caught fire.

Walter, who had visited and tested the performance of enemy tanks, was amazed to see this scene, and in his experience, even the most experienced gunners and loaders of German armored divisions could not complete the reloading and firing of grenades and armor-piercing shells so easily. The enemy's shelling was almost like a flowing stream, grenades accurately hit the fortress, armor-piercing shells accurately hit tank vehicles, not a single shell was wasted, not a single shell hit the wrong target.

The two "No. 4" tanks rushed forward one on the left and one on the right, and their movements were very nimble, they should be seasoned and battle-hardened, and Walter knew their tactics: they had to rush forward with their quick left and right detours, get close to the Russian tank, shell the junction of the turret and the body of the Russian tank, so that the turret could not turn, and then go around behind the weakest armor of the Russian tank to shell it and destroy it, or the German sappers would come forward and blast it.

But today, the two "No. 4" tanks were not as successful as usual, just as they were about to approach the Russian tank, the main gun of the Russian tank, after destroying a bunker, quickly turned the muzzle, unceremoniously lifted the turret of a "No. 4" tank on its left, and then made a sharp turn on the spot, and the turret quickly followed, just aimed at the "No. 4" tank rushing up on the right.

Both sides opened fire at the same time, and as a result, the shell that hit the Russian tank flew off, while the German tank pierced a hole in the Russian shell, and then exploded.

Seeing the destroyed German tank, Walter's heart sank.

The Russian tank, called the Crushing Fascist, ran all the way through the German positions, and nothing seemed to stop it.

"We're going to get rid of it! Sir! Captain Marriner came to the side of the major general and said loudly.

"Call your sniper up and shoot its viewing window." Walter stared at the rampant Russian tanks and ordered Captain Marina.

"Shoot the observation window?" Captain Marriner was stunned.

"Yes, since it's hard for us to destroy this tank, let's kill the people inside." Walter had to patiently explain to Captain Marina: "For a sniper to shoot the tank's observation window, two shots must be fired in the same place to be able to penetrate the observation window and kill the people behind it." ”

Captain Marriner understood, and immediately turned around and ran to arrange for the sniper.

Soon, one by one, the snipers were in place, and Captain Marriner had already explained to them that although it was very difficult to do so, the German snipers decided to give it a try, and even Captain Marliner took a sniper rifle and went into battle himself.

Captain Marriner found a very hidden position, set up a sniper rifle, and looked at the "KV-1" tank from the scope, at this time he was just able to calm down and take a closer look at the tank, he was surprised to find that this was a brand new "KV-1" tank, which looked different from the original "KV-1" with rivets on the turret, the turret of this tank was very smooth, the volume was smaller, and its action was much more flexible than the "KV-1" he had seen before.

Just as Captain Marriner was taking a closer look, the new "KV-1" tank suddenly opened fire, and Captain Marriner saw that where the shell exploded, two German soldiers were blown up, and along with them, there was also a sniper rifle with a scope.

"Stupid!" Captain Marriner cursed, he knew that the two snipers had exposed their positions and were discovered by the Russian tanks, which was why they had such a tragic end, but when the tank fired another shot, blowing up the two German snipers hiding in a crater, Captain Marriner felt that something was wrong.

Could it be that the Russian tankmen found out what the German snipers were going to do?

Is this possible?

A shot came out of nowhere, and the bullet hit the side of an observation window in front of the Russian tank, and a spark flashed, and Captain Marriner, seeing that the turret of the Russian tank seemed to have eyes, immediately turned around, raised the muzzle, and turned to a broken wall.

Before Captain Marriner could see the position of the sniper who had shot the same shot, the cannon of the Russian tank erupted with tongues of fire.
