Tank No. 4 immediately stopped, and the roar of the Germans could be heard from inside, but after a few shots and a few screams, everything fell silent.

Ye Chuchu looked at the "No. 4" tank carefully, and suddenly, a side door of the tank turret opened, and the corpse of a German tanker was pushed out and fell softly in front of Ye Chuchu.

"Do me a favor." Sun Hui's voice came out, but he couldn't see where the person was, and after a while, another corpse was pushed out.

Four girls stepped forward to help, and quickly dragged the remaining three bodies out.

"Come in, everybody." Sun Hui said, the four girls glanced at each other, and they all entered the "No. 4" tank.

"It seems that this German tank is more comfortable to sit on than the Soviet tank." Wang Linlin said.

"The interior is not the same as the Soviet tank, and it feels a little more spacious." Du Lili sat in the driver's seat and restarted the tank.

"How is Brother Sun? Hurt? Ye Chuchu noticed that there were blood stains on Sun Hui's face, and he couldn't help but be a little worried.

"I was shot." Sun Hui waved his hand indifferently, "It was a pistol, and I pulled out all the bullets, it doesn't matter." ”

"And talk about us, you yourself are reckless enough." Ye Chuchu took a towel and wiped his face for him.

"There's another 'Three Turrets' over there." Wang Linlin said.

"Come on, hit it!" Sun Hui excitedly returned to the gunner's position, put his eyes on the scope, and began to adjust the shooting of Zhu Yuan, Xiao Tiantian filled the barrel with an armor-piercing bullet.

The "No. 3" assault gun quickly entered the firing range, it did not expect that it would be shelled by its own tank, because when Sun Hui fired a cannon, the "No. 4" tank behind it and the German infantry following it were all stunned.

The "No. 3" assault gun was hit and caught fire and exploded, the "No. 4" tank reacted quickly, and immediately turned the muzzle to shoot at Sun Hui's side, but Du Lili reacted quickly, came to a quick reverse, and the opponent's gun swept past the turret, Xiao Tiantian quickly filled an armor-piercing shell into the chamber with one hand, and Sun Hui was able to fire again at a much faster speed than the other party, and the "No. 4" tank was able to fire with one shot.

The German infantry did not understand what was happening, and because they did not understand the situation, they did not immediately attack Sun Hui's "No. 4" tank, until Sun Hui and Wang Linlin each opened fire with machine guns, sweeping them down several people, and these people turned and fled while shooting.

At this time, Ye Chuchu heard a burst of "Ula!" She turned around and looked out of the observation window and saw the Soviet infantry of the brigade rushing up, and the leader of the charge was Lieutenant Ulano Lasov.

Seeing this tank "No. 4" attacking the Germans, most of the Soviet infantry understood what was going on, and instead of attacking it, they launched an attack on the Germans together with it.

Probably in order to prevent friendly troops from accidentally injuring the enemy tank driven by their own people, Ulanorsov jumped on the tank turret, Ye Chuchu understood what he meant, leaned out of the turret, and gave a military salute to Ulannorasov.

Seeing "Elena" appear in front of him like this, Ulanorasov's heart beat wildly.

Ulanolasov tried his best to suppress his excitement, and briefly talked to Ye Chuchu about the battle situation with each other.

It turned out that just now, the newly formed militia 12th Division and the 107th Infantry Division arrived on the battlefield as reinforcements, both of which belonged to the newly formed Volkhov Front, and came to support on the orders of General Meretskov, who demanded that these two units must hold the "Karava-Eastleg" fortress together with the defenders and prevent the Germans from threatening the "road of life" on the ice of Lake Ladoga from this direction. Although these reinforcements arrived late at night, they immediately entered the battle as soon as they heard the sound of gunfire.

These Soviet infantry were originally without tank support, and the tanks of the defenders of the fortress were all lost (those repaired "T-26" tanks were destroyed by the German tanks at the beginning of the battle), and at this time, seeing that it was the brave "Soviet female warrior" who captured an enemy tank to help the battle, the morale was greatly boosted for a while, and no one thought about how this tank was captured.

After a night of fierce fighting, all the positions captured by the Germans were recaptured, and the Germans left more than 4,000 corpses to retreat in disarray, while the Soviets suffered nearly 6,000 casualties.

Marshal Meretskov's "Memoirs": excerpts:

“…… The offensive launched by the 4th Army on 19 November was progressing slowly. Everywhere our army met with stubborn resistance from the enemy. On many points, the enemy attacked our troops. In the first days after the offensive was launched, combat operations on almost the entire front line were essentially encounters of fighting. A serious obstacle for our army is the shortage of tanks, artillery shells and mortar shells. Infantry often had to attack when the enemy's support points were not adequately suppressed. ”

"Fort Karava-Eastleg was one of the strongest support points set up by our army west of Tikhvin. The battle for the fortress was particularly fierce. After several assaults and the annihilation of all attacking enemies, the 46th Infantry Division was able to hold this support point. However, the smooth operation of the Northern Campaign Cluster ended there. The 46th Infantry Division unsuccessfully attempted to send an advance force to cut the railway. Seeing the threat of an encirclement forming against him, the enemy gathered enough forces to restore his position and recapture Fort Karava-Eastleg. The battle for the Karava-Eastlegh Fort unfolded even more fiercely. The enemy transferred planes, tanks and troops of the infantry division that had just arrived there. They relied on superior forces and weapons to force the detachments of the 46th Infantry Division to retreat, but the 46th Infantry Division held out until reinforcements arrived. Many glorious sons and daughters of the motherland have sacrificed their lives here. There was a tankman Vasily. Ivanovich. Ansakov, posthumously awarded the title of 'Hero of the Soviet Union'. His remains were later buried in the martyr's tomb on Tikhvin Freedom Square. There was also a heroic heavy tank crew '521', consisting of four young girls and a young man, who drove one' KV-1 'heavy tanks, which destroyed more than 50 enemy tanks, after their tank was destroyed by the enemy, they wittily captured an enemy tank while being seriously wounded and continued to fight, becoming an example for the defenders and a symbol of the heroic tenacity of the Soviet people in the battle for the defense of Karava-Eastleg Fort, their deeds have been reported to Comrade Stalin, who decided to award five of them the title of 'Hero of the Soviet Union' and specifically asked the Kirov plant to bring a latest' The KV-1 tank prototype was assigned to them. ”
