The Il-2 attack plane, having strafed the flank positions, rushed in the direction of Karjus and them.

The other party came in a rage, and Karyus felt that he might be dying in this damn place.

For a moment, he regretted that he had insisted on fighting at Red Tekach. It's a pity that it's too late to regret it now.

At the same time as the Il-2 attack aircraft flew over, a German fighter in the sky followed and dived down.

The wings of this German plane were perverted and slender, and Karjus had never seen a friendly aircraft with such slender wings.

He lifted his hatch and looked at the unknown German fighter plane that swooped down in the sky, and his heart was already smiling.

Because of the appearance of this German fighter, the Soviet Il-2 attack aircraft may not continue to wreak havoc.

Sure enough, the German fighter jet spewed out a dazzling tongue of fire, and the tracer bullet pierced the wing and fuselage of the Il-2 attack aircraft, leaving a row of smoking holes in it.

Then the German fighter pulled up like a petrel and rolled off to one side.

And the Soviet Il-2 bomber that rushed towards Karyus, because it was hit by a bullet, was emitting black smoke to reduce the altitude where it was located.

Subsequently, the opposing engine stopped in the air, the propeller slowed down more and more, and finally stopped spinning completely.

The Il-2 eventually flew over the head of Karjus and then crashed into a distant slope, exploding into a cloud of brilliant fireworks.

With the downing of the Il-2 attack aircraft, both Karjus and the commander of the No. 4 car group can be regarded as having a life.

So Karyus looked at the German fighter in the sky that he had never seen before, and cheered loudly at the sky.

"Hit! He hit! Seeing that the Soviet Il-2 attack aircraft was changing its course, Karjus shouted excitedly.

If the opponent's plane does not come to his own trouble, he is still very hopeful and can hold his own line.

"Car number 4! Hold the line of defense in front of you! Don't back down easily! That Il-2 was shot down! It was shot down. He pinched the intercom and reminded his companion loudly.

Then he thought and thought, and continued to speak: "Car No. 5! You go to the flank defense line to help! If there's anyone there, stay there, and know what I'm talking about, right? ”

"Got it! I see! The two commanders, No. 4 and No. 5, replied almost simultaneously: "Be careful, sir!" ”

Now that there were only 3 tanks left, the position to hold was actually quite spacious - to be exact, wider than the position they had to hold.

Tank No. 4 was to hold on to this area along with Karyus's No. 1 tank to block the advance of the Soviet troops in front of them.

The remaining No. 5 tank had to go to the right, so that the flank troops deployed there could converge and check the casualties of the troops there.

"William! Armor-piercing shells! Load! "As soon as he got rid of the Il-2 attack aircraft in the sky, Karjus had already begun his show.

It is true that the tank forces of the USSR were inferior in combat to the German armored forces. After the shell was loaded into the chamber, Tyr confirmed the fact that it was possible to fire.

He pressed to fire, and a shell hit the chamber, directly destroying a advancing T-34 tank.

"Let them see how good we are!" Before Tyr opened fire, he shouted out the words.

He didn't talk much, he just liked to fire and attack in silence. But today, I don't know what kind of influence he has suffered, he has become nagging.

"The third! Here's the fourth! "Tyre may have been stimulated by the death of the infantry, or he may have been frightened by the Il-2 attack plane that passed by.

Another Soviet tank was destroyed, and everyone didn't have time to rejoice, still preparing to destroy more tanks.

"Hello? Feed! Inside Calyus's headphones, there was a vague, jamming radio conversation.

He heard the voice of the commander of the 505 Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion he was in, which was an order from the other party.

Karyus listened carefully, it turned out that this time it was to cooperate with the large army, and the troops of the 505th battalion were already not far from the Red Tekach.

"Repeat again! We...... It's about to ...... Arrive at Red Tekach! Hold your ground! …… Cal...... Jus! On the radio, the words of the battalion commander came intermittently.

The battalion commander told him to hold his defensive position and wait for their reinforcements. This is good news, at least much better than "the Soviet counterattack caused us heavy losses".

"Call the battalion headquarters! Call the Battalion Department! We need artillery support! Air support! Support us as soon as possible! I beg you to do it as soon as possible! Caljuus grabbed the radio and shouted in a tangled microphone.

"I'm Tank No. 5! Karjus! The 2 platoon on the flanks suffered heavy losses! I see that they are retreating...... My God" didn't last long, and the desperate voice of Tank Commander No. 5 came from the headset.

"The 2 platoon commanders were killed, their tanks were all destroyed! Damn it! "Tank No. 5, covering the retreat of a dozen infantrymen, looked extremely embarrassed.

"Reinforcements are coming soon! Retreat to the village of Red Tekach! Stay the course! After Karyus gave the order, he continued to shout to the frequency of the battalion headquarters: "We need reinforcements!" We need reinforcements! ”

"I know! Reinforcements are coming soon! "On the radio, the battalion commander's voice was clearer than it was just now.

It also shows that they are not far from Red Tekach, maybe an hour later, maybe two hours or so, the battalion headquarters will be here.

In the sky, two more Stuka dive bombers arrived, and they quickly joined the attack sequence in the sky, raining their ammunition on Soviet targets on the ground.

On one side, they were also looking for an opportunity to drop their bombs on those densely equipped areas, which was the task of these Stuka dive bombers.

Their participation in the battle did relieve the pressure on the already crumbling German lines on the ground.

The Germans on the right side of Red Tekacz took advantage of this opportunity to shrink their forces, and they had just lost almost half of their soldiers.

The Soviets took the opportunity to cross the flank lines of the German army, passed two small rivers, and pressed in the direction of Red Tekach.

And the vanguard of the German Group G, including the 1st Panzer Division, was also desperately rushing towards Red Tekach.
