"Yes, individual weapons, General!" Qin Chuan explained: "But it can't be considered a single weapon, we need a team of 8 people to control it, it's a bit like ...... Bazooka, only with an increased range! ”

"Theoretically, the range can reach two thousand meters!" Colonel Slane added: "It's just that the two-kilometer hit rate is low!" ”

"What is the thickness of the armor piercing?" Colonel Albridge asked.

“150MM！” Qin Chuan replied.

This statistic startled both General Stryk and Colonel Albridge.

"I heard you right, Lieutenant Colonel!" General Stryker said: "You mean to say that it can penetrate the armor of any tank of the Soviets, including their KV heavy tanks?" ”

THE FRONTAL ARMOR OF THE KV HEAVY TANK REACHES 110MM, WHICH IS EVEN THICKER THAN THE 102MM FRONTAL ARMOR OF THE TIGER.

"Yes, General!" Qin Chuan nodded confidently: "As long as it hits, there is no doubt that it can be penetrated!" ”

Two soldiers came in from outside, and Colonel Slane motioned for them to come in, saying, "General, Colonel Albridge, I know you're going to be eager to see it, so ......"

With that, he nodded to the two soldiers, who quickly opened it up and set it up in the bunker.

"As you can see!" Colonel Slein said, "It's called ME63, it's divided into two parts, and the total weight is only 22.6 pounds, and soldiers can carry them around the battlefield. Theoretically, two people can control it, one shooter and one controller, but you know, we also need cover and support personnel! ”

GENERAL STRYK CROUCHED DOWN WITH INTEREST, LOOKED AT THE GADGET ON THE GROUND, AND THEN SHOOK HIS HEAD AND SAID, "UNBELIEVABLE, IT CAN PENETRATE 150MM ARMOR!" ”

"Don't doubt this, General!" "We tried, and its warhead was a rocket that fired a high-speed, high-temperature jet when it hit the target," Colonel Slane said. So, you won't want to give it a try here! ”

General Stryk and the others couldn't help but laugh.

After asking the soldiers to put away the ME63 and leave, Colonel Slane continued: "So, they sent us here to surprise the Soviets!" ”

"That's right!" General Stryk nodded and said, "If this ME63 is really as perfect as you say...... It's time to surprise the Soviets! ”

Qin Chuan knew that the ME63 was actually not perfect, but it should be enough to deal with the tanks of this era, especially the Soviet army.

ME63 did its job the next day.

This was chosen by the Germans, because before that, the German 48th Panzer Army was stopped by the 5th Soviet Guards Tank Army at a distance of 11 km...... The 5th Soviet Guards Tank Army was assembled at a distance of 16 km, between the second and third lines of defense.

Moreover, the Soviets chose a good blocking terrain, and if the German 48th Panzer Army wanted to continue its advance, it would have to pass through a two-kilometer-wide wilderness ahead, which was unsheltered and completely exposed to artillery fire from the opposite side.

As a result, the German 48th Panzer Army did not dare to act rashly.

This was partly due to the terrain, and partly because they had much fewer tanks than the other side, and if they had divided their forces and detoured, the Soviets would have taken the opportunity to launch a counteroffensive against the Germans from the front or break them individually.

To put it simply, "in the face of absolute strength, all intrigues and tricks are vulnerable."

This was true before that, but after the arrival of the 1st Infantry Regiment...... In fact, the 5th Guards Tank Army of the Soviet Union no longer has absolute strength, but they don't know it.

Therefore, when he got the Germans' intention to bypass the Kovo Plain, Kravchenko, the commander of the 5th Soviet Guards Tank Army, was a little surprised.

Kravchenko was an officer who grew up in the war, he graduated from the Frunze tank school and fought in the worst of wars...... Soviet-Finnish war.

At that time he was only a colonel staff officer in a mechanized unit.

But because of his bravery and proper command in the subsequent wars, he is now a major general and commands the most elite tank units of the Soviet Union...... 5th Guards Tank Army.

"How could the Germans be divided into two parts?" Kravchenko looked at the telegram and said incredulously: "Don't they know how many tanks we have?" ”

In terms of the division of troops, of course, the side with more troops has the advantage.

Commissar Andriwicz replied: "The Germans are so conceited that they think they can crush us with the strength they have!" Or maybe they have no choice but to do it! ”

Andrivich has some truth in this, because the German army is interspersed with operations, and if it is not blocked, there is only a dead end. Therefore, instead of waiting for death, it is better to fight with the Soviet army.

But Kravchenko intuitively sensed that things would not be so simple.

"Is there any ambush for the enemy?" Kravchenko said: "I mean, did they get reinforcements last night? ”

Andrivich looked in the telegram and replied in the affirmative: "No, no." Comrade Kravchenko, we have scouts all the way on their transport road, and they did not find any tank reinforcements from the Germans, only cars! ”

Kravchenko nodded.

He believed that this information was accurate, because the Germans had only one road on their transport route, and although the Germans controlled this road, it did not prevent Soviet scouts from approaching to reconnoitre.

In fact, the road was 11 kilometers long, and the Germans could not block the entire road in a short period of time, and the Soviets could even blow up the roads to give the German sappers a little trouble if necessary.

Therefore, the Soviets were able to grasp even how many German cars or even what model they had in the theater of operations that they entered last night, and of course they would not miss the tanks.

But Kravchenko was still not at ease, he thought about it and said to Andrivich: "Comrade commissar, I think we should send planes to reconnoitre. Maybe they'll get reinforcements from other directions! ”

Andriwich did not object.

In fact, it was Kravchenko's cautious style that made him not as defeated as other tank units in his confrontation with the Germans...... On the Soviet-German battlefield, the Soviet tank units were often not so badly defeated, which can be said to be a victory.

However, the results of the reconnaissance were the same, no German reinforcements were found, and the Germans divided an armored division from the Sfka road in an attempt to bypass the flank of the 5th Guards Tank Army, as if they wanted to attack the rear of the 5th Guards Tank Army.

After getting the news, Kravchenko no longer hesitated.

"The Sfka road is not suitable for tank combat!" Kravchenko ordered: "The 6th Guards Motorized Infantry Brigade is delaying the Germans in the direction of the Sfka road, and the other units will launch a counterattack across the Kovo Plain!" ”
