The roof of the "Tiger" tank was quickly opened, and the body of an officer in a black SS uniform leaned out, and he tried his best to jump out of the burning "Tiger" tank, but Wang Linlin did not give him this opportunity, she fired a short shot from the pistol, and directly killed the SS officer.

Sun Hui continued to turn the turret to look for the next target, and then he found that the other two "Tiger" tanks had also caught fire under the fierce attack of the "Leningrad", the "Neva" and the "Ladoga Lake", and the Germans who escaped from the tanks were also killed by machine guns.

Seeing the famous "502" heavy armored battalion in history wiped out in his own hands, Sun Hui was excited.

The destruction of four Tiger tanks took a toll on the morale of the German infantry, who immediately began to retreat, while the Soviets counterattacked and reoccupied the position.

After the battle, the "Mother of the Motherland" acted as a tractor and towed the only intact "Tiger" tank back to Leningrad, and when the Soviet officers and men saw the captured "Tiger" tank, they all cheered and celebrated this glorious victory as if they were celebrating a holiday.

When Himmler, who was inspecting the Eastern Front, learned of this news, he was calm and calm, and he instructed his subordinates to immediately prepare a suitable battlefield report and send it to Hitler before foreign journalists and Soviet propaganda were launched, explaining that the failure of the "Tiger" tank was due to mechanical failure and the despicable ambush of the Soviet army, and claimed that the officers and men of several "Tiger" tanks were finally destroyed after destroying at least 20 Soviet tanks, and that the officers and men of the "502" heavy armored battalion were in order to protect this precious new tank. He did not hesitate to fight to the last man, which perfectly reflected the bravery and fearlessness of the Germanic soldiers, and it was proposed to award medals to all the officers and soldiers of the "502" heavy armored battalion who sacrificed their lives.

Himmler was well aware of Hitler's temper, and he knew that Hitler would be satisfied with this report as soon as it appeared.

He did not want the Führer's anger to affect his trip to Soviet territory.

He had more important things to do.

But he was also deeply aware of the threat posed by the Soviet tank crew, known as the "Witch Crew".

He summoned Heinz, commander of the SS Special Brigade, and ordered him to restart the eradication program for the "Witch Car Group".

But what Himmler didn't know was that just as he was giving Heinz the order, the "Witch Crew" had already launched an operation against him.

Today is the day when the special tank platoon sets out to carry out the "supreme directive".

The rising sun rises from the mist-shrouded sky, yet to illuminate the treetops of the polar and pine forests. However, the day was already dawning, especially in the front, where the first line of German defense was hidden in the middle of the rubble and dirt. Not far from the edge of the forest, in the depths of the thick shade, there is an old maple tree that has been through the vicissitudes of life, and on top of which the platform of the observation post is erected, and there is a cannon scope. From time to time, Major General Lukashenko looked through the artillery mirror. This vast forest surrounds the city, with a river flowing through it and weeping willows lining it, dividing the city in two. To the right, there is a black railway embankment, and beyond the railway, there is an uninhabited highway, which resembles a long gray ribbon and a stationary river. Everything around seemed to stand still. There wasn't even a hint of wind in the treetops, perhaps the wind had already slipped away. It seems that he is not used to it, and looking through the eyepiece of the gunner, the earth and features do not tremble as usual. The observation post that Major General Lukashenko climbed up the tall, sturdy and rough wooden ladder just now was the observation post of the commander of the 221st Tank Division. It's a stone's throw from the front line. There is also a platform on a tree next to it, and on top of it is a special artillery scope for the division commander.

In the eyes of Major General Lukashenko, the city resembles a huge cemetery full of desolation and filth. As far as the eye can see, chimneys rise above the rubble of burned houses. There seemed to be a burning smell, though the air was so quiet, mellow and transparent, and the smoky chimneys resembled tombstones. What is the secret of why these chimneys can survive and stand majestically?

The red flare suddenly rose at the front of the Soviet position, flew high into the air, drew an arc and fell in the direction of the Germans. At this time, in the rear, on the far horizon, the sun peeked out of the clouds, illuminating the city and the dense green groves on the banks of the river. Near the forest, there was a thick black and wide shadow of a tree stretching out to the left and right, just covering the starting position of the Soviet tank regiment, making it difficult to see.

Major General Lukashenko saw the tank in the middle of the cover of the drooping branches and leaves of the bushes...... That's a lot! Almost simultaneously, the tanks spewed out gray-black smoke and began to sortie.

The regiments were divided into two echelons and attacked in a company's "line" battle formation. When the attack from the tanks began, Soviet artillery and mortars simultaneously bombarded enemy fire points and positions that had been clearly reconnoitred in advance...... The infantry battalions of the 172nd Infantry Division swarmed up. From the place where the troops launched the attack, there was suddenly a strong and weak air current, blowing head-on. The treetops trembled, the planks rattled at the foot of the observation post, and from the eyepieces of the gunner's scope, the battlefield rose and fell as dramatically as if the sky had sunk into the ground. Major General Lukashenko's eyebrows pressed against the rubber cover of the eyepiece, and with skillful movements, he adjusted the vertical sight.

For a moment, it seemed to him that it was not the tanks and infantry that were approaching the outskirts of the city, but that he and the observation post were slowly drifting backwards with the forest.

Not long ago, the Germans forcibly crossed the river, occupied the city, and attacked the Soviet defensive positions for several days, looking for weak links in the Soviet defense, and preparing to pounce in the direction of Leningrad in a big way. They never expected that the Soviets would attack, and they were dazed as if they had been hit by a cold shot from a corner. This is illustrated by the fact that for some time the enemy did not return fire, and there was a dead silence on the German positions. But it didn't last long.

Viewing from the top of the maple tree, it is clear at a glance that the bunkers of the German front suddenly become clearly outlined, machine guns and submachine guns begin to fire, sparks flash, from the basement vents of the destroyed houses, from behind the chimneys, and from somewhere, large-caliber machine guns shoot bullets with a trailing light tail, which fly away at a rapid pace, drawing a slightly curved flash track. A cannon in the ruins of the ruins, aiming directly at the tank. One of the self-propelled guns was directly hit by a Soviet shell, and suddenly the gun was erected straight on the gun mount, as if the gun had grown two iron legs, and stood upright for a moment, and then like an invisible giant, it collapsed backwards with a "boom", throwing the armor guard aside, and the gunners on it were also knocked down.
