The 7th Panzer Division, Germany's ace unit, its first division commander, was Rommel, who fought in France and North Africa, and after the war situation in the Middle East stabilized, this ace armored division, which had been tested by war, also returned to Germany again, and after some preparations, participated in the Barbarossa plan.

In this operation, they also took the lead, and they also had a good time, in the charge, they met the Soviet 5th Tank Division, which was fully manned, and went up to greet them, and as a result, the 5th Tank Division was disabled.

Since then, however, they have not caught much fighting, and they have advanced all the way, crossing the Dnieper from the north, passing through northern Smolensk, and then preparing to march south from the east to join up with the southern corps and complete the encirclement.

The current commander of the 7th Panzer Division, Colonel Wolfgang-Glassmoor, is now sitting on a Tiger tank, looking ahead with confidence.

Along the way, almost all the exploits of the Waffen-SS were robbed, and the Wehrmacht armored divisions like them could not fight very well, and now they could only show their existence by racing on the vast Soviet plain.

"There's a lot of swamp over here." Looking at the scene around him, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.

The tank relies on the track, it can gallop in the field, but this is not omnipotent, when encountering swamps, many times the tank will also get trapped, at any time, do not put yourself in a dangerous situation, this is the basic consciousness of a soldier.

So, instead of attacking in unknown places on both sides, they advanced on muddy roads.

If the Soviets had planted mines on the roads here, they would have been able to delay their own actions, and they would not have dared to rashly walk through the swamps in the wilderness, but could only follow the roads.

His armored division is a strengthened establishment, and in the entire armored division, there are more than 100 Tiger tanks and more than 200 Panther 3 tanks.

The tracks stirred the mud and splashed everywhere, and just last night it rained again, making the road even more muddy.

"Our scouts, go a little bit forward." Colonel Wolfgang-Gricemoor said over the radio.

At this time, if someone comes from the flank, although it will not eat his armored division, it will cause him some trouble.

Maj. Gen. Funk did not want trouble.

"Understood." An echo came over the radio: "Increase the search range." ”

At the forefront was the 37th Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, which was fanning out and searching the front.

In front of them were several BMW motorcycles, which were moving along the road, and the mud stirred up by the wheels was flying everywhere, and behind the BMW motorcycles, there were several tracked infantry reconnaissance vehicles, and they were walking very carefully on the road.

They are here to explore the way, if there are anti-tank mines buried on the road, they will find out in the first time, even if it is at the expense of their vehicles, they must protect the main forces behind them intact, this is their mission!

The surrounding swamps were bottomless, and they did not dare to enter these swamps easily, and at the same time, in the swamps, there were deep ravines.

At the front end of the ravine, you can see that it is the top of an ordinary wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, but the lower part is two large screws, and the infantry fighting vehicle drives the large screw to walk on it, as if walking on the ground.

After the initial use, it was found that the screw car was quite adaptable to the swamps of the Soviet Union, and in addition to walking on its own, it could even help other vehicles that accidentally got stuck in the swamp.

As a result, a significant number of vehicles are equipped with such large screws, which are used to move forward in swampy areas.

They flew like they were flying on a swamp, fanning out in a search queue and heading forward.

Inside a screw car, squad leader Shude stood on top of the turret, looking ahead with a telescope, and suddenly, his brow furrowed.

In the swampy area ahead, puffs of black smoke appeared!

This kind of black smoke can only come out of the engine, and in such a place, if there is an engine, it can only be a vehicle, or even a tank!

Thinking of this, he was excited: "Report, the target was found, there is a vehicle about three kilometers ahead." ”

Putting down the radio, he continued to pick up his binoculars, and now he could see more clearly.

That's a Stalin tank!

Looking at the round turret, looking at the thick barrel, you know that this is the most powerful tank in the Soviet army at present, and it is only equipped with elite troops.

At the same time, it is also the only tank that can pose a threat to the Tiger from the side or rear, and I didn't expect to see it here!

Where there are such tanks, then there must be the main forces of the Soviets!

"Stalin's tanks were found, and in front of them there were the main forces of the Soviets!" Shude shouted happily: "It is stuck in a mud puddle, there are two tractors and a tank, are trying to pull it!" ”

The swamp is simply the natural enemy of the vehicle, those wheeled vehicles, it is only possible to walk on the road, it is impossible to enter the swamp at all, and even a tracked tank, after entering the swamp, will not be able to move an inch.

For example, this Stalin tank, although it uses a diesel engine improved from the T-34 and increases its power, it still cannot be easily towed, and when it enters the swamp, it is a terrible nightmare-like experience.

"Buzz, buzz!" Its diesel engine was running at full power at this time, emitting puffs of black smoke, but it was useless, its entire body was almost submerged in the mud, and there were no tracks to be seen, only the turret above, and with the roar, the body did not move at all.

Two tracked tractors, just in front of it, wanted to pull it out of the swamp, and in front of the tractor, there was a BT-7 tank, three tracked vehicles started at the same time, puffs of black smoke came out of the engine, and the rumbling sound shook the earth, but the Stalin tank did not move, it sank deeper!

A tankman reluctantly got out of the turret of the tank, reached out, felt the mud underneath, and shouted something to the man in front of him.

At this moment, the screw truck behind had already rushed towards them!

The Soviets' Stalin tank has fallen into the swamp, and they can capture it intact! The German scouts in the screw car were quite excited, and at the same time, the Soviets also spotted them!

A battle began.
