937 another German tank
The Soviet commander in car No. 3 began to doubt his own life, his commander had just been killed, and the wreckage of the tank was burning right before his eyes.
But he hadn't seen the damn Leopard tank except for a shot at the damned German Leopard tank, which hit the inconsequential tail corner.
"Where is he? Where is he? Through the small observation gap, the Soviet commander muttered depressedly.
This is a deadly battlefield, and any mistake could cost you your life! What made him even more depressed was that just half an hour ago, he had already seen the victory, but now he was facing the most dangerous situation.
A German Leopard tank was waiting for an opportunity in a place they couldn't see, and time was running out of sight.
"Bastard! Bastard! The captain gritted his teeth and cursed twice, but finally he couldn't bear it anymore and lifted the hatch above his head.
He poked his head out and looked around, trying to find a trace of the German tanks. And then he saw a German tank!
Yes, he saw it! He saw a German tank, and it was true! But his face was pale, and there was not a trace of blood.
It's not that he sees that the other party has targeted him, but he sees a scene that makes him desperate even more than that!
Because he saw a German tank No. 4, an improved No. 4 long-barreled artillery tank with side panel skirts!
According to the information he knew, and the information reported, the Germans did not have tank No. 4 at Red Tekach.
But now that he saw it, it proved that something that he or the Soviets least wanted had happened!
That's right! German reinforcements have arrived! The German reinforcements arrived, and the Soviet troops near Red Tekach would be finished!
The No. 4 tank was turning its turret, apparently having spotted the Soviet T-34 tank directly in front of them.
After so much time wasted, the Soviets finally suffered retribution - the German follow-up units began to arrive one after another, and the battle for Red Tekach began to change.
"Aim for the German tanks in front! Fire! Reclining back into his turret, the Soviet commander commanded loudly.
"Boom!" The T-34 tank fired a shell that hit the German tank No. 4 in the distance.
Then, tank No. 4 caught fire and burned, and the gasoline engine was hit hard and of course caught fire, and then the entire tank exploded.
The distance between the two sides is very close, and at a distance of only about 100 meters, the artillery of the T-34 tank is very easy to penetrate the German No. 4 tank, which is not thickly armored.
"Well played!" Smoke billowed from the hit German tank, and the Soviet commander shouted excitedly.
This is the second German tank he destroyed today, and just now on the outer defense line, the No. 5 car of the German Karjus platoon was also destroyed by this T-34 tank.
Being able to destroy two German tanks shows that they are also a well-coordinated crew, and it also shows that they are lucky.
"Damn it!" As soon as he shouted hello, he saw that next to the burning German tank No. 4, another German tank rushed out of the smoke.
Immediately after, in the shocked eyes of the Soviet tank commander, the second German tank also rushed out of the smoke.
Two German tanks No. 4 rushed over, followed by a third! This is an almost complete tank platoon, and it is definitely not a lone wolf fighting alone.
"Reload your ammo!" The Soviet commander was already frightened by the German tanks in front of him, and he gave a loud order while opening his mouth to order: "At least two German tanks in front of you!" ”
"Boom!" "Boom!" After the two German tanks rushed through the black smoke, they stopped and opened fire. The rate of fire of a tank gun of 75 mm caliber is high enough, and the lethality of the T-34 tank at this distance is more than enough.
Two German tanks opened fire, and the shells hit the Soviet tank, which did not have a radio. The shell pierced the armor, and the Soviet tank was completely destroyed.
Now, in the small town of Red Tekach, there is only one Soviet tank left...... And the Soviet infantry has also been driven out of the core area by the German infantry.
"Comrade General! Comrade Rokossovsky! German reinforcements have arrived! Retreat! Retreat! The Soviet commander, who looked at death as if he was at home, grabbed the radio and loudly reminded the peripheral friendly forces that had not yet entered the Red Tekach.
"Reverse!" He didn't even have time to change the channel, so he gave an order to reverse, and then he paused and continued to shout: "German reinforcements have arrived!" Repeat, German reinforcements have arrived! ”
As he shouted, organ rockets landed on the main Soviet offensive positions northwest of Red Tekach.
Raindrops of rockets fell, baptizing the attacking Soviet infantry. Almost 300 people were killed in an instant, and the morale of the Soviet army, which had been finally revived, completely collapsed under this round of blows.
Although the German infantry on this side did not arrive in large numbers, the flanks of the Soviet army, the German armored vehicles were already assembling and charging.
The first to arrive at Red Tekach was the 46th Panzer Division under the 10th Panzer Army, which had not yet been fully equipped with Leopard tanks, so it was still equipped with a large number of No. 4 tanks.
On the other side, to the northwest of Red Tekach, there were 40 Chaser tank destroyers preparing to counterattack Rokossovsky's northwestern defensive line.
Originally, this weapon was designed to defend against enemy tanks and provide support to your own infantry.
However, in the context of war, many weapons have to perform tasks that do not match their own.
For example, in real history, the Soviet army's SU series tank destroyers no longer needed defensive operations when they were in service, so most of them performed offensive missions.
The situation at this moment is almost the same, the German army does not have to carry out defensive tasks in most cases, so most of the defensive Stalker tank destroyers are also on offensive missions.
Hearing the shouts on the radio, Rokossovsky knew that he had lost again, and this time he was defeated!
He gambled on the future of the entire Rokossovsky cluster and was not able to win the victory that was right on his lips......
In the village, the only remaining T-34 tank was finally penetrated by the Germans, and ironically, it was not the Karjuus crew who fought until the last moment to deliver the fatal blow.
The 10th Panzer Division took over the defense of Red Tekach, at least one battalion of tanks counterattacked, and more than 200 Soviet soldiers near Red Tekach were surrounded and surrendered.
