Chapter 490: One for One
"Click!"
At eight o'clock in Hilde's direction, Trode failed to see the fire from the turret, and he immediately realized that the shell must have pierced Hilde's tank. Trood's surprise at this time was even greater than when he learned that the Soviet tanks had touched from the rear, because the IV. J. was now the best tank destroyer in the German army, and the armor was quite thick, although it was not as good as the monster-like VI. Type E. Tiger's heavy tank, but its frontal armor can completely defend against the vast majority of the Soviet army's anti-tank guns and almost all tank guns within the range of the AP warhead, so in actual combat, IV. destroyers are generally destroyed by HE shells or surrounded by multiple tanks, such as this direct frontal penetration, Trood is simply unheard of!
"Hilde! What do you think? Trood asked loudly, and although the latter had been punctured, there was no fire or other obvious adverse reactions, so Trode could only hope that they were okay.
"We're okay...... But the loader is injured......" Heard said with some staccato words. When Trode heard this, he let out a long breath and said silently in his heart, "God bless." "Then immediately let Hilde withdraw, because now Hilde's position must have been exposed, and since the enemy's tank guns could penetrate the armor of IV J from the front, then the frontal Trod they would now have no safety at all.
"Alicia, come on, the situation is not right on my side." At this point, Trode couldn't be reckless, so he immediately called Alicia and asked her to come and help. After all, he has been able to get to this day, to a large extent, relying on the advantages of equipment, whether it is the Soviet army's tanks or the previous British and French tanks, although there are many places that the German tanks can't reach, but on the whole. Still inferior to the German tanks, and most importantly, at the same distance, their breakdown rate was much lower than that of the German tanks. Now, however, that advantage is gone......
"The enemy's tanks are stronger than we thought......" Treena said on the side, though she knew a lot about Army Group Center. But she still didn't expect that in such a short time, they would be equipped with such a high-performance tank.
"The opponent should use a siege formation and a lure formation." Trana said calmly, if I guessed correctly, two tanks were on our flanks, one in front, and the other one was either in front or already rounding us......"
"Roundabout?!" Trood couldn't believe that the Soviet tank crews were still thinking about a detour in such a small battlefield, although Trod was a bit prominent. But after all, they were still German territory, and if they really took a detour, they would probably be destroyed first.
"The front and sides of the position have already been fried, so they should have nothing to fear." Trema affirmed, and the reason why she was so sure was because she had used this tactic before, and for the Soviet tank crews, using the advantage of mobility to encircle and win was almost the first lesson of their tank tactics career.
"It's seven o'clock! Two! Treena shouted, already on the lookout for enemies on the flanks. Although Trood and the others were attacked, they were not too far behind. In an instant, a counterattack was set up. However, even then, they were a little bit behind the Soviet troops, who had high mobility......
"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”
Trana and the two Soviet tanks opened fire at about the same time, and Trod had to reach their firepower a little later, and unfortunately, the shells fired by Natl were slightly off target. Didn't do any damage.
"I can't move, no one is hurt, now everyone abandons the car and covers us!" Before Trode could inquire about Tryna's condition, the latter immediately reported the follow-up action. Although it was known that Tryna's crew was not injured. Trod was still relieved, but almost as soon as the battle began, Trod lost the most combat-ready Trana crew, which did not bode well. However, Trode also found out that just after the two sides fought each other just now, a Soviet tank did not move, and even if Trode ordered another shot on him, he did not escape, so it seems that he should be out of the game like Tryna.
Although it was one for one, it changed from three to four to two to three, and the ratio of friend to enemy was even more unbalanced, although Alicia as a reinforcement should be able to arrive here soon, but it was a tricky thing to cover Tryna's retreat at the moment.
However, Trode was fortunate that the Soviets did not chase them hard, which allowed Tryna's crew to withdraw safely. However, Trood and Hielde, who were almost unmoved in place, should have already exposed their movements, and the battle behind them was still quite unfavorable to them.
"Bell!"
There was another crisp sound, and this time it was Trode's turn and they were attacked. Although it was the same direct fire as before, the missing armor of the first armor that hit this time was relatively weak, and for a warhead that could penetrate even the frontal armor of the IV. J, this level of armor was of course not a problem, and the Trood they were also shot through the frontal armor for a long time.
"Yorkson! Roy! ”
"It's fine!" "It didn't hurt!"
After Trode's inquiry, the two of them responded immediately and also put him at ease, but if this continues, sooner or later the enemy's sneak attack will be successful, Trode immediately gave up the attack, allowing Yorkson to retreat backwards in a large-angle "S" shaped route, while letting Hield also maintain the fastest speed to retreat.
"Trode!" Just as Trod and Heard were about to retreat again, Alicia arrived. At this time, Trode was also hesitating, whether to use the advantage of reinforcements to catch the Soviet army by surprise?
However, this idea was only passed in Trode's mind and was denied by him, because the Soviet troops opposite them were obviously not ordinary, and now they still had a slight geographical advantage, and it was difficult to say whether their surprise attack would be effective. Moreover, his purpose is only to defend his position, even if he has lost a tank now, but if he finally holds the position, it will still be his own victory. Thinking of this, he immediately asked Alicia to cover himself and Hilde while also retreating with them, at least to bring the geographical advantage of both sides to a level. (To be continued.) )
