639 Toys for Rich People
Karjus is no one, and now his tank is arguably the most powerful war machine in the vicinity.
The Soviets on the opposite side, most of them were armed with revolvers, and some Mosin Nagant posed no threat to the Leopard tanks at all.
As the wide tracks of the Leopard tank rolled up the dirt in the field, the German tank, which was not very tall but very powerful, slowly leaned towards the Soviet artillery position full of people.
By this time, no Soviet soldiers remembered the cannons in their hands, countless people were fleeing into the woods in the distance behind them, and a few were shooting German tanks with their weapons.
However, their bullets hit the steel plate of the tank, leaving only one mark on it, and could not shake the heavy armor of the Leopard tank.
"Joseph! Aim at targets that are still firing and clean them up! Karyus saw the shooting Soviets in the periscope and shouted to his men.
Joseph did not fail Karyus, and soon his machine gun began to strafe. In just a few seconds, many Soviet troops were killed by the artillery.
At about the same time, Kent's tank No. 112 also knocked down a small wooden stake on the side of the road and aimed its course machine gun at the Soviet artillery position.
The Soviets, who did not flee, hurriedly threw down their weapons and surrendered, and they really had no reason to hold on any longer.
If you talk about a German tank, it has already caused panic in the entire artillery position. Then two German tanks were enough for these Soviet troops to raise their hands and surrender.
"Click!" Lifting the hatch overhead, Karjus leaned out half of his body, he looked at the Soviet soldier in front of him who had lost his weapon, and pressed the throat intercom and shouted: "Kent! Kent! ”
Tank No. 112 also stopped moving forward and came to a standstill not far from Tank No. 111.
Kent also lifted his hatch and poked his head out and replied loudly, "Don't shout! I am here! Is there anything you want to say to your face? ”
"Hell!" He looked at about thirty Soviet soldiers in front of him and complained: "Do you know that it is dangerous to do this, and I will be killed by you one day!" ”
Karyus smiled, then pointed to the Soviet soldiers who had already surrendered: "Can you contact the infantry behind us?" Call them to take over here! ”
After saying that, he got out of his tank, opened a box on the outside of the tank's turret, and pulled out a red flag with 10,000 characters from inside.
Then he skillfully spread this flag on the roof of his tank car as a sign of identification against the air.
Stuka flew in the sky from time to time, but there weren't as many as there were when the battle began.
"Be careful, don't get killed by your own people." Karjus laid the flag, then pointed to the top of his head and said, "That's too wrong." ”
"It was the biggest mistake for me to follow you!" Kent climbed out of his tank and did the same thing under the watchful eyes of more than thirty Soviet soldiers.
Before, they were not so far ahead, and they had not mixed with the Soviet troops, so there was no need to care about the accidental injury of the air force.
Now it's different, they're already inside the Soviet army, and it's hard to imagine that there will really be air force pilots who will kill them as retreating Soviet tanks.
"I've always found it strange that when you say that, I realize that there seems to be a lack of planes overhead...... "Kent said to Caljus, laying out his flag.
"Maybe they have something more important to do...... Who knows? Karyus straightened up and looked at the Soviet soldiers who did not dare to move, standing there a little stupid.
"If we start strafing now, we can move on in a few seconds." Kent straightened up and suggested to Caryus.
Karyus shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, "No kidding, I'm not used to killing unarmed people. ”
"You can get back into the tank and give them a chance to pick up the gun." Kent himself felt humorous and laughed.
The air force units directly under Army Group Center were really too busy at this time, so busy that they didn't even have time to support friendly forces that were breaking through the enemy's defensive lines.
Why? Because they found a big fish - behind the Soviet lines, a moving Soviet armored unit.
There are at least 200 Soviet tanks, as well as related cars and other equipment moving, even if there is anti-air camouflage, it is indeed a good target that is very easy to detect.
With this goal in mind, the Germans would of course attack desperately and exploit their superior firepower.
Therefore, it was not only Stuka who bombed this area of frequent Soviet activity, but even the Germans used a large number of JU-88 bombers.
As if there was a grudge against the Soviet army's reinforcement route, the Germans were worried that they could not find high-value targets, and it was impossible to let go of this piece of fat to their mouths.
Countless bombs fell from the sky, blowing up the Soviet troops who were trying to find a way to reinforce the gap area, and destroyed them on the way to reinforcements.
At such a time of war, the Germans used a super-extravagant weapon that they had a little technical reserve but had never used before.
This weapon is the legendary napalm bomb. Such bombs are surprisingly effective in blocking traffic and against exposed living forces.
Of course, for the former Germany, this bomb was really something more luxurious than the boss costume, and it simply could not be used.
You must know that Germany is a very oil-poor country, and it basically cannot even afford to supply the fuel used in its own automobile machinery.
So, even if they knew that napalm was a good thing, the Germans really didn't have much ability to use it.
It's just like the Germans have long known that diesel engines are a good thing, but there is really no way to popularize the use of tanks.
It's not that Germany doesn't have good diesel engines, and it's not that it doesn't have better engine technology reserves. However, due to the lack of oil, in the real historical time and space, the German military could not afford to use every new engine.
The scarce diesel fuel was supplied to the submarine force in limited quantities, and the army could only make do with high-powered gasoline engines.
The Air Force is even worse, having to endure a third of the fuel that burns less than the opponent's fuel, and the opponent's engine performance at an altitude of 10,000 meters......
Now everything is different, the Germans have Libyan oil fields to provide ample oil resources - napalm, no matter how magical, is nothing more than the so-called "rich man's toy".
