580 new tanks of the Soviets
The thing's turret turned like an elephant's head, putting more pressure on Karyus than ever before.
The previous battles, no matter how fierce they were, the Leopard tanks in their hands always gave them strong confidence.
Their tanks were much more powerful than their opponents, which gave the German panzers endless courage.
But now? The enemy's tanks seemed to be more powerful than they were, which gave Karyus an unacceptable feeling.
"Armor-piercing shells! Load! "Tyre is not a commander, he can only fire again and again, trying to penetrate the opponent, so he gives a loud order, reminding William to reload new shells.
William was also a little flustered, he knew that his turret was not turning, which meant that they had been attacking the same enemy target.
He had never encountered a target during the battle that could not be pierced by two armor-piercing bullets, which made him enter the field as well.
"Erich! Advance! They're targeting us! Karjus gritted his teeth and commanded loudly.
The turret of the opponent's tank rotated very leisurely, with a bit of calmness. As if he was laughing at the incompetence of Karjus, as if he didn't take them seriously at all.
In previous battles, the Soviets tried their best to get close to the German tanks and then open fire, but now the situation is reversed - Karjus decides to change tactics.
"Get close to the goal! Let's close the distance to 500 meters and then fire! He grabbed the handrail beside him and loudly ordered his driver: "Quick! Drive as fast as you want! ”
Erich got the order and could only grit his teeth and start moving forward quickly, and the Leopard tank drove at an alarming speed, literally galloping around the battlefield like a cheetah.
During the bumpy drive, Caljus naturally could not rely on his periscope to observe the changes around him.
So he simply poked his head out of the tank again, and looked at the huge turret in the distance with a telescope.
Because of the relationship between the fence and the low wall and the bushes, he couldn't see the full appearance of the other tank.
But now he could clearly see what the turret of the other tank's tank looked like—like a box of steel.
This huge box turret, which resembles a rectangle, is flanked by a smooth, hammered plane, on which are written some Russian, Russian that Karjus could not read.
In Karjus's telescope, the huge turret was still spinning unhurriedly, as if trying to catch up with Karjus's tank and fire again.
And by this time, Karyus had realized that it was not the other party's calmness that made the damn turret turn so leisurely.
"Their turret is too big! So it turns very slowly! Ha ha! Karyus, who had seen through the other party, seemed very excited, and the calmness of the other party before had now turned into a joke with slow reactions.
This gave him a lot of confidence, as long as they could get close to the target and fire early, they still had a good chance of winning.
Driven by Erich, the Leopard was in and out of the bullets of the Soviet infantry, and it no longer bothered to fire, relying on its own armor to rampage through the bullets.
As the clock ticked by, Karjus's tank was approaching the edge of the Soviet defenders' positions.
The bullets were shooting at him so hard that he couldn't poke his head out to look around.
However, their tanks were also close enough to each other and stopped at a good angle of fire.
The slender barrel of the 88 mm tank gun was pointed at its target, while the opposing tank was still slowly turning its turret.
"Aim!" Carjus gave the order, and Commander Tyre was preoccupied at this time, and he had already pressed the opponent's huge body into the engraving of his scope.
"Fire!" Inside the Leopard tank, which had everything ready, Karyus gave the order to attack loudly.
Immediately after that, Tyre pressed the switch, and a puff of smoke erupted from the gun port of the Leopard tank, and the shell drew a straight line, once again ramming into the Soviet tank.
"Phew! While! With a crisp sound, this time the shell fired by the German 88 mm cannon was not ricocheted off, but shattered the armor and rushed into the turret of this Soviet tank.
"Boom!" At an eerie angle, the Soviet tank also fired, and a shell flew out of the barrel that had not yet been aimed and flew almost a hundred meters behind the Leopard tank.
Then the Soviet Tucker stopped, completely silent. It was lying there, as if it had no soul.
"Armor-piercing shells! Load! "Just in case, Karyus decided to take the safest approach to dealing with this Soviet monster.
New armor-piercing shells were loaded into the tank gun, and Tyre fired another shot at the Soviet monster.
Not surprisingly, the shell once again pierced the armor of the Soviet tank, but for some reason, the tank still did not explode.
"What if...... No...... If you want to die, you can ...... Open there! How far away are you...... Distance from the Russians...... It's close! Inside the headset, the company commander's reminder came intermittently.
At this time, Karyus and others discovered that their tanks had been surrounded by enemy bullets, and machine guns and light weapons were shooting at them from all directions, as dense as raindrops.
"We destroyed that Russian tank! Repeat! We destroyed the target! Karyus pressed the throat intercom and said loudly to his company commander.
Mechanic Joseph, who was at the control of his machine gun, was trying to return fire, his bullets sweeping down more than ten Soviet soldiers, and many more were still pouring in.
"Boom!" A high-explosive bomb hit the middle of these Soviet soldiers, killing at least ten poor Soviets at once.
The Soviets then failed the attack, and they had to abandon the surrounding defensive line and retreat into the village.
The German assault guns on the flanks began to attack, and the German troops had quietly entered the village. They attacked behind the Soviets and took their opponents by surprise.
Tactically, it seems that the German soldiers always have the advantage, and even in real history, in the defeat of 1944, the German army still has a tactical advantage.
By the time the Germans joined the flank, the Soviet soldiers stationed in the village had completely collapsed.
"You...... Just now...... Lose your marbles! On the radio, Kent's voice came faintly, and the radio still didn't seem to be communicating well, but the battle was almost over.
Even the German-made radio equipment, which was of very good quality, was only moderately reliable in the early days of 1941.
Problems often arise in battle, but on the whole, they are much stronger than if the enemy simply did not have such equipment.
There was nothing to complain about, the No. 112 tank had already crossed the outer line of the Soviets, and behind it the German infantry carefully followed, dealing with the Soviet soldiers who did not have time to retreat.
The tide of battle began to turn one-sided, and the retreating side no longer had solid cover and no rules for fighting.
The Soviets were in disarray, trying to escape from the German range, but as they withdrew from the village, they were completely exposed to German fire.
Hundreds of Soviet soldiers were fleeing, their backs facing the muzzles of the Germans. The bullets swept mercilessly, and there were not even ten of the Soviets who fled into the bushes.
As if in retaliation for the fierce battle just now, the Germans had no intention of ceasefire, they did not disarm, but kept firing to kill the Soviet troops who were routing backwards.
As the Soviets within the last sight were repulsed, the German soldiers began to clean up the battlefield. They set up a cordon around the area and began to inspect every corner of the village.
When the German infantrymen saw the wrecked giant tank parked behind a well-camouflaged low wall, everyone was speechless in shock.
The behemoth was 3 meters tall, much taller than the Leopard tank. And on this huge tank, a tank gun of a huge caliber is installed.
"This thing definitely has a caliber of more than 150 mm...... Is it a tank? A German infantryman looked at the monster in front of him and asked his comrades beside him.
"I don't know, but the most powerful tank I've ever seen is much smaller than it." The other soldier replied.
"I just saw with my own eyes that the shells hit by our tanks were bounced off by this guy's armor." The German soldier with a submachine gun on his shoulder, stroking the cold and huge monster, spoke.
"That's it! Gentlemen! Stay away from this guy! This thing is our key protection item until someone from the division comes over and takes it over! An officer walked over, looked at the huge tank, and commanded.
As the soldiers began to disperse, Karyus let his Leopard tank stop next to the giant Soviet tank, taking a closer look at the damage caused by his shells to the monster.
"If we're lucky, we feel that our shells can penetrate it at a distance of about 800 meters." Judging from the bullet holes, Tyr looked at the hole he had pierced and said to Caryus.
"This thing fires quite infrequently, and it's not easy to expect it to wreck a tank." The simple course of engagement had allowed Karyus to judge the performance of this weapon to some extent.
Unless you're lucky enough to hit the target the first time it fires, you'll have to keep aiming and relaunch your attack with a not-so-smooth turret turn.
