Chapter 1376: Mortal Faith
"The Germans, the Germans are coming up!" A Soviet soldier shouted loudly, and he hurriedly bent down, trying to untie the rope hanging underneath.
However, at this moment, only to hear a bang, the steel cable actually broke, and the steel cable struck at his head with a sharp roar, and he immediately rolled into the mud pit next to him, which was considered to have picked up a life.
The steel cable hit the engine guard plate of the tractor, and it actually knocked the guard plate down to a ten-centimeter deep pit! If this hits the head, it will be rotten at the moment.
"Tom tom!" Almost at the same time, the other side also opened fire!
The 40 mm tank guns were fired at the tractor on this side, and almost instantly, the tractor was hit.
"Boom!" The high-explosive incendiary bomb hit the engine in front of the tractor, and in an instant the tractor burst into flames, and the tractor operator's body was broken into two pieces and fell on the operating lever.
Another tractor and BT-7 tank, having by this time removed the tow rope, puffs of black smoke from their engines, retreated to the rear.
The speed of the tractor was so slow that before they could hit the road, they were hit by a tank gun, and in the thick smoke, the tractor driver jumped off the tractor and saved a life.
Only the BT-7 tank, with the M17-TV-12 gasoline engine in the tail end, emitted huge puffs of black smoke, which had reached a maximum speed of 1760 revolutions per minute, bursting out with 372 kilowatts of power.
With this burst of aircraft engines, the BT-7 tank retreated at high speed towards the road behind, reaching an astonishing 50 km/h when the tracks shook off the mud.
Squad leader Shude frowned, his tank gun had just destroyed two tractors, but he had not been able to reach the fast tank, and when this tank wanted to run, nothing could catch up with it.
Despite being in swampy terrain, this tank is still fast enough, especially when it is on the road.
His cannon was out of reach of the other party.
But he quickly gave up, for them, the capture of an intact Stalin tank, of course, was more attractive, this trapped tank, it seemed to be their prey.
It's a pity he was wrong.
While he was firing at the other vehicles, the commander and gun commander of Stalin's tank had already drilled into the turret, and the commander Yuri shouted loudly: "At three o'clock, an infantry fighting vehicle, fire!" ”
"Boom!" A few seconds later, a fireball appeared at the muzzle of the Stalin tank, and above the fireball, 122-mm armor-piercing shells flew towards the opposite side.
"Quick, turn left!" When he found out that the other party was firing at him, Shude was shocked to realize that he had made a surprising mistake.
The tank was just stuck and incapacitated, but it didn't lose its firepower!
If it is on the road, the infantry fighting vehicle has a fairly high speed and maneuverability, and it is not difficult to dodge the opponent's fire, but now it is in a swampy area, although it can move freely with the screw, but the speed will definitely not go up.
Now, with his command, the driver pressed the accelerator to the end, only to hear the screw below make a popping sound, constantly throwing the mud backwards, the right screw rotated at maximum speed, the left screw rotated in reverse, and wanted to make the car turn quickly, as long as he got out of the way, he could dodge the blow.
The screw stirred up two huge whirlpools underneath, but they were still slow.
The blunt-nosed armor-piercing projectile of 122 mm that spun and flew smashed into the armor of the infantry fighting vehicle, shot in from the front armor, and then shot out from the rear armor This terrible armor-piercing projectile instantly made the infantry fighting vehicle miserable.
From front to back, it was as if it had been drilled by a thick drill, and by the way, a few heads were taken away.
Because Shude was on the turret, when he was penetrated, the lower half of his body was directly blown out, and his upper body was still operating the chariot gun on the turret, as if he was going to continue firing.
The infantry fighting vehicle stopped, and it was only eight hundred meters from the Stalin tank.
"Quick, retreat!" Seeing that one of his infantry fighting vehicles had been blown up, the commander of the reconnaissance battalion immediately gave the order.
They are reconnaissance battalions, mainly responsible for reconnoitring the situation in front, if they encounter the enemy's infantry, they can bully them with their own tank artillery, but if it is the enemy's main battle tank, they must avoid it, and wait until the main force in the back comes up to clean him up!
Even if they were carrying recoilless guns, they were not confident that they could completely penetrate it.
The infantry fighting vehicle was rapidly retreating, waiting outside the enemy's fire, for fear that he would run away, and at the same time, the Stalin tank was not in good shape.
The shot just now made it sink deeper.
The tank gun was high-chambered and had a considerable recoil, which was nothing if it was on ordinary ground. At most, the tank left deep tracks on the ground.
But in the swamp it was different, there was thin mud underneath, which was already deep, and now as soon as the fire was fired, the tank continued to sink downward, and the mud actually flowed to the top of the hull!
The turret of the tank was opened, and the loader quickly jumped down, walked to the engine behind him, and got the mud out of the air intake of the engine, and if the engine air intake was blocked, the engine would be turned off, and after the engine was turned off, all their actions could only be done manually, although they were not afraid of labor, but they would waste valuable time.
When the loader jumped down, the machine guns of the various vehicles opened fire, but unfortunately, in order to avoid being hit, they retreated, and the loader was almost hiding behind the turret, leaving them no angle to shoot.
In this way, the loader cleared the mud, jumped in again quickly, and actually retreated in the hail of bullets.
"Well done, Belov." Yuri said: "Now, we will wait, after the main force of the Germans arrives, let's take out the Tiger tanks that the Germans are invincible!" ”
"When we signed up, we all left a suicide note, what are we afraid of, no matter sooner or later, we have to leave." Belov said, opening the vodka he was carrying, taking a sip in his mouth and handing it to someone else.
Yuri took it and took a sip, the spicy vodka made him feel motivated again, yes, they signed up for this mission, they didn't plan to go back alive, now, let the blood of the German tankmen come to practice for themselves.
