The 3rd Tank Army of the Russian Army, under the jurisdiction of the 12th and 15th Tank Armies, the 1st Guards Motorized Rifle Division, the 154th and 264th Infantry Divisions and the 179th Tank Brigade, the commander is Lieutenant General Romanenko.

The Russian army in this time and space is developing faster than the Soviet army in another time and space. Perhaps because of the greater threat from Germany, many troops were formed in advance. This also makes the Russian army in this time and space stronger. Of course, the strength of the Russian army they faced was much stronger than that of the German army of the Führer of another time and space.

The headquarters of the 3rd Tank Army of the Russian Army, located in Mogilev, is not far from the headquarters of the 3rd Army of the Russian Army. When the Germans dispatched armored forces to attack the Russian defense line, General Timoshenko, who was far away in Smolensk, immediately ordered the 3rd Tank Army to send troops to stop the German armored forces. General Timoshenko knew very well that if they could not stop the German armored forces, their defensive positions would not be able to withstand the attack of the German armored forces at all. Once the defensive line is broken through and a rout occurs, it will undoubtedly be even more difficult to organize a strong force to block the German attack. When the time comes, the Russian army will inevitably collapse. And Joseph will definitely not let him go. Therefore, General Timoshenko gave an order to Lieutenant General Romanenko, asking him to resist the German attack no matter what.

After receiving the order of General Timoshenko, Lieutenant General Romanenko also wanted to cry without tears. The 3rd Tank Army, in total, had less than 700 tanks, less than half of the German 8th Panzer Army. Moreover, the performance of the tank could not be compared with that of the German Haw Par tank. In front of the German 8th Panzer Army, only the 12th Tank Army and the 1st Guards Motorized Rifle Division were deployed, with a total of just over 300 tanks. What is the difference between using these tanks against the Germans and falling into the mouth of a sheep?

But Lieutenant General Romanenko had no choice but to order the 12th Tank Army and the 1st Guards Motorized Rifle Division to attack. However, in order to fight for a chance of survival, Lieutenant General Romanenko ordered the 12th Tank Army and the 1st Guards Motorized Rifle Division to attack the 88th Panzer Division under the German 8th Panzer Army, instead of the 8th Panzer Division.

The German 88th Panzer Division also had more than 300 tanks, and the number of tanks on both sides was close. Of course, compared with the T28 medium tank, T26 light tank, BT7 fast tank equipped by the Russian army, and the German Panther tank and Tiger tank, the gap is undoubtedly very obvious. Although, Burussia also developed a heavy tank, codenamed the T35 heavy tank. It's just that this tank has not been mass-produced on a large scale, including prototypes, there are only 61 in total, and there is no large-scale equipment for troops at all.

Therefore, the main tanks of the Russian army are still T28 and T26 and BT7. As for the famous T34 tank, it is still under development and has not yet been finalized, let alone large-scale mass production.

The German 88th Panzer Division easily broke through an infantry position of the Russian army, and at a distance of twenty kilometers southwest of Mogilev, it collided with the Russian 12th Tank Army and the 1st Guards Motorized Rifle Division.

"Order the ministries and prepare for battle. Pay attention to control the engagement distance and destroy the enemy's tanks at a long distance! Major General Heinrich, commander of the 88th Panzer Division, ordered.

The advantages of the German Haw Par tank were powerful tank guns and armor, as well as advanced sighting equipment and the quality of armored troops. The Russian T28 medium tank, weighing 27.8 tons, is armed with a short-barreled 76.2 mm tank gun of 16.5 times caliber and five 7.62 mm machine guns. The frontal armor of the turret was only 50 mm, and the frontal armor of the hull was only 30 mm. Such a defensive force, in front of the German Army's Haw Par tanks, is undoubtedly no different from paper paste. At the same time, the short-barreled 76.2 mm tank gun could not penetrate the armor of the German Haw Par tank.

The T26 light tank, which weighs only a little more than 10 tons, is equipped with a 45mm tank gun of 46 times caliber and two 7.62mm machine guns, and its armor is very weak.

The BT7 tank weighed slightly more, reaching 13 tons, was armed with a 45 mm tank gun with inclined armor, but the armor thickness was only 15 mm.

These Russian tanks, in front of the German tanks, are basically synonymous with thin skin and big stuffing. It can be vividly compared that these Russian tanks are like the capital ships of the British Navy in the last world war, and it is natural to imagine what the consequences will be in the face of the fierce firepower of the German Navy.

Moreover, because of the engine technology, the speed of these tanks of the Russian army is also much inferior to the German Haw Par tank. Once the two sides went to war, not only would they not be able to defeat the German Haw Par tanks, but they would not even be able to escape.

"Boom!"

The engines of the tanks roared, and one by one the tanks of both sides drove into the battlefield. A steel charge involving hundreds of tanks is about to unfold on this plain.

Although, the number of tanks on both sides was approximately equal. However, there is no doubt that the tank units of the Russian army are not at all the opponents of the German army.

"At 12 o'clock, a thousand meters, one or two T28 tanks of the Russian army!" Inside a German Tiger tank, the commander gave the order.

The Tiger tank in motion, with its turret spinning, aimed at the target the commander had mentioned.

The driver stepped on the brakes, and the car shook violently and stopped. Because of inertia, the body of the car shook a bit.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the gunner pressed the launch button.

An armor-piercing projectile, under the action of huge kinetic energy, flew out of the barrel of the cannon with a roar.

Just over a second later, the armor-piercing shell hit the frontal armor of the Russian tank's hull.

Only thirty mm of armor, in front of 88 mm armor-piercing shells, no different from papier-mâché, was pierced all at once.

Fragments of armor flew at high speed inside the tank, easily killing all six crew members inside.

Without the manipulation of the tankmen, the tank suddenly stopped.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

The German tanks found their targets one after another and began to shoot.

One after another, the Russian tanks were easily destroyed by the German tanks. As soon as the two sides met, the Russian army lost more than 30 tanks as soon as they fought, which stunned Major General Chekov, commander of the 12th Russian Tank Army, who was watching the battle in the rear.

"Damn, how could the Germans have hit our tanks so accurately at such a distance?" Major General Chekov couldn't help but scold.
