Chapter 1129: The Stalker's Ambush
In the Grodno area, the Soviets were scheduled to be the 6th Mechanized Corps, and after a long wait, they finally received the order to counterattack, so the entire 6th Mechanized Corps began to advance to the north, ready to stop the huge German mechanized group.
However, they made a considerable mistake, they did not bring their troops together, because the communication lines were cut off, the radio was jammed, and the communication between them could only rely on the signal corps to transmit messages, and the huge mechanized army could not be twisted into a fist.
The corps commander Katskolvich only dogmatically passed on the message of his superiors, asking the entire mechanized corps to start a counterattack, however, he did not realize what a terrible nightmare it would be for a scattered counterattack.
The entire mechanized corps, including the 4th and 7th Tank Divisions, the 29th Mechanized Division, and the 4th Mechanized Regiment, belong to the main force of the Western Military District, but like other units, their equipment is also not satisfactory.
Now, at the forefront of the charge was a tank regiment of the 4th Tank Division, and the commander of the regiment, Major Solyarchen, was an impatient, and when he received the order, he hurried to Grodno, hoping to cut off the rear of the German attack group from the middle and create an opportunity to encircle and annihilate the German tank group.
His dissatisfied tank regiment has only more than 50 tanks, T-34 has only more than 20, and the rest are replaced by old T-26s, for him, this is nothing, he is going to block the back road of the Germans, even if it is to blow up the German tank trucks or something, it is a result.
Little did he know that his troops were about to be destroyed.
The load wheels of the T-34 tank are completely made of steel, there is no glue, and it is extremely bumpy inside, and the equipment of the Soviet army does not consider any humanization at all, it is completely a cold machine, and people have to adapt to the machine.
Solyarchin also showed half of his body, looking forward with a telescope, while holding a small flag in his hand as a sign of directing his troops forward.
In front of you is a vast plain, nothing can be seen, and there are probably still tens of kilometers away from the main forces of the Germans.
Waving a small red flag, he ordered his troops to continue their march.
"Boom!" At this moment, suddenly, an explosion occurred on one of the T-26 tanks on the side of the formation!
Behind a dirt slope in the distance, a puff of black smoke came out, and it was the traces of tank gun fire!
The initial velocity of the armor-piercing projectile can easily exceed twice the speed of sound, so if it is ambushed, then the sound of firing cannot be heard at all, and when it is hit, the sound of the opponent's tank gun fire can be heard, which is the most speechless.
"Attention, under attack, shift direction!" Waving a small green flag, Solyarchin signaled his tank troops to turn around and move in the direction of the attack.
As a tank soldier, it is your mission to find the opponent's tank and kill him!
He didn't know that his command had completely buried the lives of his troops.
In the grass, the battalion commander Schutt happily waved his fist, well done, now, it's time to do your own!
A Hunter tank destroyer, maneuvered to the left side of the opponent, sneak attack, fire, attract the attention of the opponent, let the opponent all turn, in this way, their own side is facing the opponent's side, at this time, as long as the advance amount is calculated, the absolute 100 shots!
"Free fire!" Battalion Commander Schutt shouted over the radio, and then he said to his gunner: "Aim at the man who is exposed, kill him!" ”
On one of the opponent's tanks, there is a tank crew with half of his body exposed to command, and it is obvious that this is the commander of the opponent!
The gun commander's eyes were firmly fixed on the sights, and then the commanding voice kept coming: "The hull of the car moved twice to the left." ”
"Understood." The driver on one side, pulling the lever and pressing the accelerator, the track swayed, and the car body was slowly turning, and soon, it turned exactly two degrees.
"Half a degree to the left." The gun commander continued to command.
There is no turret, which can make the profile of the pursuer low, its entire height is only more than two meters, but, because there is no turret, it cannot rotate freely, and at the same time, because the chassis is a ready-made 38T chassis, there is no advanced hydraulic steering mechanism, it is more dependent on the quality of the driver.
The driver continued to pull the left lever to adjust the direction of the car, and just when the car had not stopped, the gunner shouted loudly: "Good! ”
At the moment when the driver released the lever, the commander of the gun had already stepped on the fire.
"Boom!"
The 75 mm Pzgr39 cap-piercing projectile flew towards the opposite side at a speed of 750 meters per second, a distance of about a thousand meters, it only needed to fly for more than an hour, and during this time, the opponent just moved the length of a car hull.
The gun commander was aimed at the front of the opponent's hull, and when the shell passed, the hull just followed, and the two sides had close contact.
For the gunner, if he can hit the side, he will definitely not hit the front, the first reason is not that the frontal armor is thick, but that the projection area on the side is the largest, and it is easy to hit.
With a sharp whistling, the cap-piercing shell flew towards the T-34 tank.
Perhaps it was like having a sixth sense, at such a time, the regiment commander Solyarchin actually turned his head and saw the place where the smoke was rising, at this time, there was more than one smoke there, and there were dozens of places where black smoke rose almost at the same time.
Oops, it's a trick, if you continue to follow the original route, you can rush to the opponent's ambush position, but now your own left turn completely exposes the side to the opponent!
On his retina, the swirling cap-piercing bullet seemed so clear, and in the last second of his life, he waved the yellow flag, trying to order his troops to turn to the right and move towards the real enemy's position.
Unfortunately, it was too late, and just as he was raising the flag on his arm, the armor-piercing projectile flew and hit the part where the turret and the hull were in contact, and it easily got in, and in the inside of the hull, it hit the ammunition.
"Boom!" With the violent sound of martyrdom, Solyaryanqin's body flew up, and the entire turret flew up half a meter high, and the personnel inside, at this moment, were all pressed into meat foam by high pressure.
This was just the beginning, and in the next few seconds, explosions were heard one after another, and the tanks on the right side of the formation were hit!
A German anti-tank battalion with 36 anti-tank guns has now been replaced by 36 Chaser tank destroyers, and in their first attack, the hit rate exceeded 50 percent, 19 Soviet tanks were blown up, plus the one that first sneaked up, the Soviet tank regiment has lost 20 vehicles.
The remaining tanks came back to their senses, turned to the right, and rushed towards the German ambush positions!
