Penetrated, finally penetrated! Looking at the Stalin tank with the turret lifted off, Modlin's heart was excited, and at the same time, this also confirmed his judgment that the advanced shelling armor-piercing shell was ineffective against the Stalin tank, and the original shell should be more suitable!

"Quick, give a notice to our troops, against the Stalin tanks, only to hit the side with blunt-headed armor-piercing shells!" Modlin shouted to the radioman.

Although it was penetrated, Mordrin still knew in his heart that blunt-tipped armor-piercing shells would definitely not be able to penetrate the front of the opponent, and this tank would definitely be stronger than the KV-2.

As for why the advanced armor-piercing shells can't penetrate, wait until the battle is over, after capturing the opponent's Stalin tank, let the military workers behind do a test.

At this time, the situation on the battlefield has been intertwined.

The German armored cluster broke through the first line of defense of Soviet tanks, but behind the line of defense, there were still several long arrays of tanks waiting for them, and the heavy tanks that they had crossed had now begun to turn around, and it was obvious that they intended to surround and eat the German tank forces.

The German armored forces were in a dilemma, and now they had to rely on the tank opener overhead to get there quickly.

"Commander, we have surrounded the tanks of the Germans, and we must be confident that we will finish them all!" At this time, in the military headquarters a few kilometers behind, the chief of staff, Colonel Tamruch, said to the army commander Kondrusev.

The 22nd Mechanized Corps finally arrived on time to the battlefield, moreover, they were thrown into battle just right, and the current situation is favorable for them.

So far, the Great Patriotic War of the Soviets has not been going well, the Germans are advancing, the Soviets are constantly retreating, and the Soviets are in great need of a decent battle to prove themselves.

Today's progress went smoothly, and their faces finally filled with smiles, they already knew the number of the enemy opposite, the 5th SS Panzer Division, that is, the Viking Division, if such an army was killed by their own side, the blow to them would definitely be quite large!

"However, there is another prerequisite for our current victory." Kondrusev said: "Our air force must be able to withstand the blows of the Luftwaffe and create conditions for us to encircle and annihilate the Germans. ”

Learning war in the war, the Soviets have begun to notice that when the Germans attack with tanks, the air force is also immediately accompanied, and on the first day of the war, the Soviet air force was wiped out on the ground, throwing away the sky overhead, which is an important reason for the continuous defeat of the ground forces.

And now, the Soviets are also moving rapidly, and the air regiments in the rear are constantly being moved to the west, and now they must withstand the attack of the Luftwaffe and create conditions for their own encirclement and annihilation of the German ground forces.

The stubby I-16 fighters were flying in the sky, and the entire group of sixteen planes, led by Captain Pozdnyakov, was tasked with intercepting the German attack group.

In the corner of the formation, the pilot Khlobystov sat in a cramped cockpit and was concentrating on piloting his own plane.

They had been transferred from Murmansk in the rear a day earlier, and almost as soon as they had rested, they were on the battlefield, and at this time, German planes were raging all around, and they had to win more with less.

Although before the start of the war, the Soviet Union already had some advanced aircraft, such as MiG-1, Yak-1 and the like, but these aircraft were scarce after all, and more aircraft were destroyed on the ground before the war, and the advanced aircraft were almost exhausted.

In the second-line troops, the I-15 and I-16 are still the main forces, and in the historical Great Patriotic War, the main force of the Soviet Air Force in the early stage was almost this kind of aircraft.

The short I-16 is not easy to operate, and Khlobystov almost broke his arm with the lever when he first flew this kind of aircraft, but now he has finally mastered it.

He looked down, and at this time, their group of planes had already flown over the battle, and he could see that there was a battle in full swing below, and the scene was quite intense.

"Attention, the Germans have been spotted and ready to attack!" At this moment, the captain's order came from inside the headset.

Ahead, the aircraft of the Germans, the twin-engine HS-129, already appeared!

With the destruction of the Soviet Air Force at the first time, the air supremacy on the entire battlefield fell into the hands of Germany, coupled with the military emergency, so the Luftwaffe had almost no escort aircraft, and only a fleet of HS-129 attack aircraft flew over.

Ensign Hans-Hermann-Steinkamp sat in the bathtub of his attack plane, his attention fully focused on the battlefield, and in this time of confusion between the two sides, they had to keep their eyes open and not mistakenly shoot their comrades.

At the same time, the call from the radio showed that a powerful Soviet tank appeared on the scene, so that its Tiger tank was not easy to destroy, and its own side must first take out the biggest threat, Stalin's tank.

However, the pilot's nature still made him look up at the sky from time to time, and then, he saw the group of planes in the sky over there.

"Attention, the fighter jets of the Soviets were spotted and were attacking us." Ensign Hans shouted loudly over the radio: "Give up the ground attack and prepare to meet the enemy." ”

There was no way, they were originally just attack aircraft, used to carry out ground attacks, but now, the Soviet aircraft group in the sky is here to attack them, and they have to meet it.

If it was still the original model of the HS-129, their best thing to do was to slip away quickly, because the heavy armor made their maneuverability quite poor, but now it is different, after replacing the French engine, they have gotten rid of the problem of lack of power, although they are attack aircraft, they can also conduct air combat.

What's more, it is those short and stubby I-16s, this kind of aircraft was considered advanced in 35 years, and now it is 41 years, and the maneuverability is probably not as good as the HS129.

Pulling the throttle stick, the engine was at full power, and the HS129 attack aircraft began to climb into the sky, in order to attack the opponent's tank, they were originally flying at low altitude, and now to engage in air combat, they must pull up the altitude.

This behavior of theirs immediately aroused a burst of excitement among the Soviet pilots, and this group of slow attack planes was going to fight with their own side? It's like death.

They also rushed up to meet them.
