Chapter 971: Bad luck
Generally speaking, even now, with the rapid progress of equipment, with the productivity of the Soviet army, it is impossible to deploy so many and advanced tanks in a front-line outpost, so it is certain that Trod has unconsciously groped for the top few lines of defense of the Soviet army, and is now about to enter their hinterland.

"All the crews are in place and ready to fire." Vincent, who was in charge of coordinating the various car groups, sent a signal to Trood's side after everything was ready, and all the members waited for Trode's order.
"......" waited for ten seconds, Trode didn't say a word, the oppressive and tense atmosphere was a little suffocating, although the enemy was in front of him, and they also had an absolute advantage, but if they didn't wait for the order to act, they would not be a whole, or even a soldier, after all, the duty of a soldier is to obey orders.
"Whew......" Trode exhaled a long breath, as if he wanted to spit out all the pressure on his body, his eyes suddenly opened at the moment when he slowly closed, and said quickly and firmly: "All units, fire!" ā
The depths of the jungle, which were still extremely quiet, became agitated for a moment due to the sudden and dense cannon fire, and the three IS-2 heavy tanks in this outpost became the first targets.
The ambush location chosen by Trana was about 800 meters away from several Soviet IS-2 tanks, and a little closer to the two T-34-85s. This is a regular distance for tanks to engage each other, but it is still a little far away for a normal ambush battle, but considering that it is a good position to enter the area without being detected at the last step, it can be seen that it has been carefully selected by Tryna.
Although we mentioned earlier that the captain of Team 012, who is a fellow Trode, when encountering Andre's team, ordered all teams to use tungsten core armor-piercing bullets with high armor-piercing ability. Although it is so generous, it does not mean that the German army can really keep up with the supply of resources in this area.
Although the 47th Division does not have explicit regulations on the use of tungsten core armor-piercing shells by various units, no captain or even a vehicle commander does not know that this is a rare thing, so when choosing artillery shells, even a conservative like Trood will not easily use tungsten core armor-piercing shells with stronger armor-piercing ability. In addition to the cost and supply problems of the shells themselves, there are also some chronic problems that limit tungsten core armor-piercing shells, such as the problems when firing at long distances.
Under the rain of armor-piercing bullets fired by the Trode team, the three IS-2s parked here were hit extremely hard at the first moment. However, it is said that compared to the armor of the Soviet tanks, which once lagged behind the Germans after the KV-1, the IS-2 can be said to have equaled this to a certain level, and even under the salvo of eight tanks, only one IS-2 was completely destroyed in the first round of fire.
The Soviet troops who had just been attacked were really panicked for a while, but compared to ordinary troops, the emergency response was already very good, but no matter how fast they moved, they didn't have as fast as Trod to load the next shell into the breech!
"Bang! Boom! Boom! The speed at which the cars were assembled and refilled was about the same, and they didn't need to change their target until Trood gave the order, and they could just continue to attack the two remaining IS-2s.
"Boom!" With the first shot as a benchmark for tuning, Trode's shooting accuracy has improved significantly. Under their intensive firepower, the remaining two IS-2s could not survive their more than two rounds of fire after all, and it was difficult to quickly count the penetrated and unpenetrated bullet holes and bullet marks everywhere from the hull to the turret. Although they may be dragged back and easily repaired due to the uneven distribution of their injuries, they are ineffective, at least for now.
And in Trode, they eliminated three IS-2 that were parked like a flint, and because of the huge smoke and dust generated by the fire, they were discovered by the two T-34-85s guarding the door, although as long as it was not a blind man's skills, it was clear that the firepower of the two sides was not on the same level at all, but in addition to fighting and retreating, these two T-34-85s had no other choice.
"Bang! Boom! "One of the two shells fired by the T-34-85 hit the treetops directly at the height of the treetops due to the instability of the reversing car, completely out of target, while the other was very accurate, and flew straight towards the place where the smoke and dust were extremely dense.
"Bell!" Although at first glance it seemed that luck was on the side of the T-34-85, but in fact it was the opposite, and the 85mm warhead was directly bounced off after hitting Amphitri's car. Not to mention the breakdown, it doesn't even have a big impact on the body.
However, even a shell that did not penetrate angered Amphitri, and she shouted directly: "Dare to target me? Don't you know that my tank is considered strong in the entire 47th Division? Give me a hard beating, or I'll be really looked down upon today! ā
In fact, the crew of this T-34-85 is really pitiful, after all, they only counterattacked with the smoke and dust produced by Trood's fire, how do you know what kind of tank is behind the smoke......
However, a shell that finally fought back hit Amphitri's tank impartially, which can be regarded as another bad luck, after all, as Amphitri said, her car is outstanding in all kinds of armored units of the entire 47th Division, in terms of armor level alone. Among the German tanks with armor as the main improvement direction, the armor that won was a small but eye-catching tank - the 'Ferdinand' tank destroyer.
(PS: The 'Ferdinand' tank destroyer here is not simply equivalent to the 'Elephant' tank destroyer, and this game uses whether the body is equipped with MG34 as the basis for distinguishing between the 'Ferdinand' and the 'Elephant'.) In this case, Amphitri is using an early 'Elephant' that was not yet equipped with the MG34, the 'Ferdinand' tank destroyer. ļ¼
