The Indian Ocean is relatively calm, and the German Navy has no plans to enter this area at this time.

Farther north, Germany and the Soviet Union were fiercely fighting for Brest, where they fought for every place.

The German artillery units had also arrived at the front, after all, it was not far from the German front-line positions.

Although wagon-towed cannons had not yet been able to join the battle, mechanized self-propelled guns, as well as truck-towed artillery, arrived in the combat zone.

Of course, there were many large-caliber guns discarded by the Soviet Red Army, and these weapons and equipment did not need to be transported over long distances, and the Germans always managed to get them where they were needed.

A shell landed in the city of Brest, destroying a three-story building that looked very nice.

The building's building materials flew in a huge explosion, and bricks fell onto the street, crackling.

Just when the dust had not completely fallen silent, a detachment of Soviet infantry, carrying their own weapons, ran through the street.

They ran cautiously through the streets, and before the next shell hit the ground, they all lay on the ground.

The second explosion sounded, and the vibration of the second shell could be clearly felt even when lying on the ground.

Before the dust could hit the ground, the Soviet soldiers got up again and ran quickly towards the place where they needed reinforcements in the distance.

Timoshenko leaned back in his chair and looked through the half-stacked sandbag window at the soldiers running through the streets and alleys, and the overturned and destroyed cars, without saying a word.

Now is no longer the time for a commander of his level to worry, now it is the grassroots officers such as platoon commanders and company commanders who play a role, and they are the core force that guards the city.

Hoping that while he is holding out here, Khrushchev will be able to leave quickly with the remaining remnants of the defeated army, this is his only thought now.

A cannonball fell again with a whistling sound, and the staff officers and guards who heard the wrong sound suddenly pounced on Timoshenko.

Then a shell landed not far outside the window, and the explosion kicked up a cloud of dust that covered the sky.

The shrapnel hit the sandbags, and the air wave shattered the windows and poured directly into the room. The room, which was already not bright, suddenly went dark, as if the end of the world had come.

"Marshal! Marshal! Fast! Fast! Come on! "In the dim environment, someone shouted anxiously.

Many of the officers panicked, struggling through the collapsed furniture, trying to get to their feet.

There were also people who were injured, moaning loudly and screaming in pain. Unfortunately, most people can't hear the shouting, and their ears are still ringing sharply.

"I'm fine! I'm fine! "Timoshenko really wanted to die under the shell just now, but he didn't die, not even wounded.

The battle in Brest was still going on, and the Soviet soldiers in the streets were trying to put up a stronger defensive line.

……

"This shell did not work at all, and at this distance, a tank gun of 45 mm caliber would not have penetrated the armor of the Leopard tank." A bespectacled German officer, holding a notebook, pointed at Karjus's tank.

On the other side, Karyus was explaining to two officers who had deliberately rushed to the village how the deadlier shell had hit.

"I didn't see a Soviet tank on the other side, it was clearly not there at first." Karjus pointed to the jet-black wreckage of the KV-1 tank burning around the far corner and introduced it to the two officers.

An officer looked at Karjus curiously, and asked the famous tank commander, "Are you sure you see the situation here?" There is no such tank here? ”

"I'm sure that before the attack, I personally jumped out of the tank and went to the intersection to see all directions." Karjus replied.

His answer stunned both officers for a moment, and then they looked at each other and did not dwell on the issue.

In the eyes of both of them, the report was a little too bizarre, and Karjus's answer was unscientific.

But the truth is, Karyus's tactics almost killed everyone in the tank, and there was no reason to shield him at this point.

In this case, everyone insisted that the commander did jump out of the tank and went to the intersection to personally investigate, so this matter is true.

It seems that the tank was indeed not in that place at the beginning, which is a good explanation why Calius "lightly attacked".

"The first shell almost pierced your hull...... If it weren't for the luck of hitting the tracks, you'd all die here. An officer looked at Carjus and spoke.

"I didn't know it at the time, I tried to reverse, but the track broke off......," Karyus replied, pointing to the track that was still broken in place.

In that case, it's too late for them to think about it. The tanks lost the ability to walk, and either they had to abandon the vehicle and run away, or they had to fight.

"The 76.2 mm caliber gun, which did not penetrate the side armor of the Leopard tank at this distance, can only be said to be due to good luck." The field engineer in charge of recording walked over and answered.

He was the officer in charge of front-line battle damage statistics and filling out relevant weapon performance test reports. As far as possible, the process of destruction of each weapon should be documented to facilitate later improvements.

Germany's strong weapons and equipment are not formed overnight, they have undergone countless accumulations, as well as continuous improvements, and only then have they been continuously strengthened and become classics that people talk about.

"It is recommended to hang two tracks on the side of the turret, which is convenient for maintenance, and can also add some side protection." He looked at the black crater in the turret of tank 111 and gave his advice.

The Leopard is not an infantry support assault vehicle in the traditional sense, and it does not have the all-round protection of the Tiger tank.

Weight reduction allows it to have unparalleled protection only when facing the enemy in front of it, and it is relatively weak in the back and sides.

It is only because Germany does not have heavy tanks in the strict sense of the word that it uses Leopard tanks to replenish the heavy tank destroyer battalion.

"This tank can continue to be used after it is repaired, but the maintenance unit is still on the way, and you will probably have to wait here for a day." The officer kicked the broken track and said to Karyus.
