Chapter 1143 Reinforcements of the 22nd Mechanized Corps

"Division commander, a huge number of tanks have appeared in front of us, and they are attacking our side!" When Felix heard the news, he immediately frowned.

Their own tank troops, after the impact just now, have consumed about a quarter of their fuel, and at the same time have consumed about ten rounds of ammunition, they still have combat effectiveness, and their own army morale is high, and it is said that they can continue to charge and fight.

However, if the opponent has too many tanks, it will be different, and if you are surrounded by the opponent's tank sea and surround your own tanks and run out of ammunition, it will still be very troublesome.

At this time, you can't underestimate the enemy.

But now, retreat is also not a good choice, if you retreat, the opponent's tanks, will rush up to encircle their own side, this is a dilemma, at this time, of course, only the brave wins!

"Division commander, our HS-129 attack aircraft will arrive in twenty minutes." Just then, a new piece of news arrived, which strengthened Felix's confidence.

It is no problem for your own tank troops to hold out for twenty minutes, and after twenty minutes, those tank openers on the top of their heads can usher in a terrible end for the opponent's tank troops.

"Order the troops in front of us, keep in attack formation, and prepare for the huge Soviet tank forces!" Felix finally made up his mind.

The German tank crews have not been afraid of anything!

At the same time, the Soviet tank crews on the opposite side at this time were also imposing.

The 22nd Soviet Mechanized Army, the volitional mechanized corps of the Kiev Military District, finally rushed to the battlefield at this critical time.

At the same time, they also knew that a tank battle broke out in front, so on the march, they became in battle formation.

The 22nd Mechanized Corps includes the 19th and 41st Tank Divisions, the 215th Mechanized Division, the 23rd Mechanized Regiment, and now, the tank units of the two tank divisions have opened a wide offensive surface on the field.

Although it is a little messy, it is roughly arranged according to a tank of fifty meters, a hundred tanks, a full five kilometers, and such a tank queue, there are a total of seven rows!

Yes, they have more than 700 tanks and are advancing towards the German tank forces, compared to more than 100 tanks on the opposite side, it is simply a drizzle.

Historically, when the Barbarossa program began, although the Soviet Union had tens of thousands of tanks, the number of advanced T-34 and KV tanks was no more than 1,000, but now, a lot has changed.

When the German tank forces were galloping across Europe, the Soviet Union had long been nervous, and the T-34 tanks and KV tanks were being produced and equipped in large quantities, and now, there were almost more than 300 vehicles assigned to the 22nd Mechanized Army.

In the front row, there are more than 80 KV-2 tanks, mixed with 20 Stalin tanks, the middle two rows, all T-34s, and those in the back are some early equipment such as T-26 and BT series tanks.

The more advanced Stalin tanks were not equipped in their troops, and their current tanks were already quite formidable.

Especially those KV-2 tanks with big heads and toilet heads!

Now, Modlin has not paid special attention to those Stalin tanks, from two kilometers away, the toilet head is still particularly dazzling, and those Stalin tanks, from this side, seem to be similar to the T-34, they are all round turrets.

"Attention, with sub-caliber armor-piercing shells, we are going to take them out at a long distance!" Modlin shouted over the radio, "Aim at those toilet heads first!" ”

PzGr.40 sub-caliber tungsten core armor-piercing projectile, which is the code name of the armor-piercing bullet in history, is the latest tungsten carbide armor-piercing bullet developed by Germany, and the penetration depth is quite amazing.

However, this sub-caliber is not a shell-out armor-piercing bullet, but a layer of soft material is wrapped on the outside of the bullet core, but now, the code name of this armor-piercing bullet has been given to the latest production of shell-out armor-piercing bullets.

The performance of this armor-piercing projectile is quite advanced, and each tank carries about five, after all, it is expensive and cannot be used casually, and now, it is finally possible to come up with its own magic weapon!

Not only the Tiger tank, but also the Panther 3 tank in the bell formation is also equipped with a certain number of shell-piercing shells, anyway, the caliber of their tank guns is the same, and it is completely universal.

The bell-shaped tank formation continued to move forward, and in the galloping chariot, the loader steadily stuffed the armor-piercing shell into the chamber and shouted loudly: "Sub-caliber armor-piercing shell, reloaded!" ”

"Attention, fire when you reach a distance of a thousand meters!"

In fact, the German armor-piercing projectiles, even at a distance of two thousand meters, have enough penetration, but now, both sides are moving at high speed, and in order to ensure sufficient attack accuracy, they must be put to a distance of one thousand meters.

Under normal circumstances, the tank guns of the Soviets have sufficient accuracy at a distance of 500 meters, and at a distance of 500 meters, almost all the shells are flying, and it is definitely bad luck to hit the tank.

It's just that what the German tank crews didn't expect was that the Soviets fired earlier!

"Attention, two kilometers away, fire!"

Soviet tanks were separated from each other by a large distance, so that when they needed to stop while firing, it would not affect the movement of the tanks behind them.

Now, at a distance of two thousand meters, the KV-2 tank suddenly stopped, and then, with a bang, a black smoke came out of the muzzle, and a 152-mm grenade flew out of the muzzle and shot at the German tank formation here!

What's going on with the Soviets? Is this stupid?

Looking at the barrels of the Soviet tank units opposite, puffs of black smoke came out, and the German tank soldiers here were surprised, with their kind of guns, at this distance, the error may reach ten meters, and then it can still hurt themselves?

"Boom!" Sure enough, a 152-millimeter grenade exploded in an open field more than 20 meters outside the bell formation, kicking up dust several meters high, causing the German tank crews to boo on the radio.

The Soviets, are wasting their shells! That kind of large-caliber shells, they didn't carry many of them, and now they still have such indifferent consumption!

"Boom!" At this moment, another shell suddenly fell into the interior of the bell-shaped tank formation on this side, and almost just rightly smashed heavily in front of the left track of a Black Panther 3 tank on the right side of the formation.

The track was blown off, and the driver of the tank did not react for a while, but when he felt that the tank began to turn, he realized that something was wrong and urgently pulled the brakes.
