Chapter 148 The 15th Soviet Division, the main point of attack of the German army

“……”

Then Lieutenant Levkov, like a man of wood, froze, staring stupidly at the incredible situation in front of him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, his dull gaze was still in a short minute, and he saw that on the battlefield filled with gunsmoke, there were still many tanks that had changed into piles of broken copper and iron, or were burning with raging fires and thick smoke.

Most of these destroyed and disabled tanks were their Soviet T-34 tanks.

In other words, there are less than 12 T-34 tanks that can still move and fight, and they are surrounded by German Tiger tanks.

Moreover, these Tiger tanks still form a wedge-shaped battle queue of more than 10 units, using 88mm guns on their turrets, at a long distance of 1,500 meters, to defeat those vulnerable T-34 tanks; Like a model toy, they exploded one by one.

Streams of hot flames continued to rise into the air.

And those su-85 tank destroyers in the rear of their Soviet troops, and su-100 tank destroyers, as well as SU-152 assault gun teams; At this moment, he was engaged in a fierce battle with the German artillery team.

Because I don't know when, more than 300 German "Himmler organ" rocket launchers mounted on SDKFZ251/1 half-track armored vehicles, and 48 Gillette trucks equipped with БМ-21 rocket launchers were deployed to the vicinity of their battlefield, and are now desperately bombing the Soviet assault artillery units.

In particular, in the face of the Himmler organ rocket artillery team with a maximum firing range of more than 6,000 meters, and the БМ-21 rocket artillery team with a maximum firing range of 11 to 20.38 kilometers and a very spectacular attack scene, the overwhelming covering fire, the seemingly impregnable Soviet defensive position suddenly fell into a hellish sea of fire and was almost completely destroyed.

Moreover, the SU series tank destroyer convoys of the Soviet army, which had strong attack power and powerful firepower, were also destroyed by the German army's rocket swarm that poured down like hail at the same time.

"What the hell is going on? I managed to destroy a Tiger tank, but our rear positions, as well as other tanks, were destroyed by the Germans? ”

Just when Lieutenant Levkov was stunned by what he saw, four Leopard tanks of the 12th SS Panzer Regiment immediately shelled with their KWK 75mm guns.

Before Lieutenant Levkov could come to his senses, he and his T-34 tank were immediately blown into a blazing scrap iron.

As for all the Soviet personnel inside the tank, all of them died in the fire and explosion.

"Hey! Do you feel that the Soviet tank crew just now is stupid! ”

"Yes! I saw him staring dumbfounded, as if he had been frightened by something! ”

"I must have been stunned by the incredible power of our tank and rocket groups!"

"That's for sure, otherwise how could this fool not even know that he had broken into our offensive position in order to deal with our Tiger tank!"

"Hey! I really can't imagine that the tank we destroyed for the first time would be such a Soviet tank crew! ”

"Whatever! Anyway, let's practice shooting! ”

"That's right! You should practice, and now we can quickly follow the large forces and attack the defense line of the 15th Infantry Division of the Soviet Army! As soon as the large tank forces of the Soviet army come, we will have a large-scale tank battle with them! Everyone should be careful and try to survive! ”

"Yes! Captain Hornke! ”

After killing Lieutenant Levkov and them, Captain Hornk's Leopard tank began to be discussed lively.

But in the smoke that filled the smoke with the smell of burning vehicles, they talked for a while, and then continued to follow the other Leopard troops, converging into a torrent of steel; Amid the sound of smoke and dust and the deafening roar of tank engines, it pressed strongly towards the defense line of the Soviet 15th Infantry Division.

At this time, Moder's troops were also in full swing to carry out their multi-faceted attacks, concentrating superior forces to fiercely pursue the enemy at one point, and not giving the enemy troops who were launched by them to launch the main attack without any respite.

And one of the tank units that had the opportunity to serve as the main point of attack this time was a tank battalion of the 12th Panzer Regiment of the SS.

And Captain Hohenke also fought bravely in this battle, and they cooperated with other German infantry divisions, fighting bravely, taking the lead, and charging at the front.

In order to protect their 15th Infantry Division, the Soviets continued to add tanks, artillery, assault, artillery, and anti-aircraft artillery groups, as well as a combat engineer battalion, a division of Soviet soldiers, reconnaissance battalions, communications battalions, and logistics units.

At the same time, the Soviet army also dispatched a large number of I-2 fighters to carry out intensive attacks on the tank group belonging to the SS 12th Panzer Regiment, and sent a large group of Yak-4 bombers and a squadron of SB2M-105 bombers to carry out fierce bombing.

It's just that these Soviet attack planes and bombers were quickly annihilated one by one by the German aviation units that rushed over to support.

Under the coordinated attack of the German Fω-190A-6/R1 fighters and JU88 bombers, more and more Soviet planes were shot down, and even the defensive positions of the Soviet army were also captured more and more.

And the tank group of the 12th Armored Regiment of the SS is also as if it has been possessed by the god of war, and its performance is very prominent.

They were simply like those kamikaze forces in Japan, desperately rushing to kill the Soviet tank groups and trench positions.

In particular, Captain Hornke's Leopard tank was even more desperate, killing on the battlefield.

"Quickly load me with armor-piercing shells, there are Soviet tanks in the direction of 5 o'clock, hurry! I'm going to kill it right away! ”

"It's already loaded, no need to rush!"

"Then you can hurry up for me! Don't grind! After taking out this tank, we have already taken out 10 T-34 tanks today, and we will soon be ace tankers! ”

"Yes! Loaded! You can shoot right away! My ace tank gunner! ”

"Humph! Give me envy and jealousy! You slow reloader! ”

"What are you doing with me! Armor-piercing shells, 1000 meters away, at 5 o'clock, fire! ”

When they had reached the 10th Soviet T-34 tank, they rose up noisily again.

"Boom!"

As soon as the guns of the Leopard tanks flashed, an armor-piercing shell bombarded the T-34 tank in front of them with lightning speed, destroying it with one shot.

"Hahaha! The 10th Soviet tank! We're sure to be ace tankers! ”

Looking at the destroyed and exploded T-34 tank of the Soviet army, gunner Anton Hilmer immediately clapped his hands and cheered happily.

The other tank crew members also glanced at each other and smiled happily......

At this time, the commander of the 13th Soviet Army, Bukarov, was pale, and he and his staff were constantly receiving battle reports like snowflakes.

It's just that none of these battle reports are good news, especially when he received the battle report of the 15th Infantry Division's urgent call for help, he almost wanted to throw things on the spot and scold on the spot.
