Chapter 862: Self-Saving Wood
After a long and hopeless resistance, the Germans finally collapsed, and they withdrew into the woods for the final battle, and when this step began, it means that the Soviets have won the first victory. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The battle in the woods was much harder than the battle in the open field outside, the tank units could not be fully spread, the infantry could be ambushed from all directions, and most importantly, the Soviets, who did not have a clear goal of advance, what should they do after breaking through this encirclement?
"Break out in the direction of our eleven o'clock." After combining the actual situation, Anton chose a direction to break through, and this order was quickly conveyed, and the originally scattered attack power of the Soviet army began to slowly condense in one place.
In fact, there is not much to study in the choice of this direction, because whether it is an expert or a rookie, in this vast rain, for a terrain that is not understood at all, how can it be possible to set a safe route without a map?
And this is also the thing that Andrei and Anton were most worried about before - unlike the previous battle, Andrei did not get much information about this area, not because he did not have enough authority to understand, nor because it was hastily planned when the battle was formulated, but because this area is too chaotic, the two sides are fighting for each other, going in and out on a not very clear dividing line, and some have been fighting back and forth for almost a week, and no matter who they are, they can't really confirm the distribution of troops in a certain place.
And it was at this time that Andrei and the others were sent, and in this chaotic battle, they were just a screw, unable to really shake the entire front. But now, the screw has been loosened as a last resort, but it has not fallen off, but has slid along the line to the side, which may have a great impact on the surrounding situation, whether it is a pro or con, no one can say......
Although the road ahead is vast, Anton as a commander cannot back down, the battle in the woods in front of him is only the end of the first battle, although extremely important, but it is not what he really values. In order to capture any details that would be beneficial to the subsequent battle, Anton gave a large part of the command of the battle to Natalia, and Natalia was almost adept at this level of combat......
Half an hour later, the Soviets finally fought and retreated, and got out of the battle with the Germans, but the Soviet troops also stopped, for no other reason, there were tanks trapped!
The tank stuck in the mud was Bella's KV-2, which was honestly not surprising, because the KV-2 was already an overloaded tank, and its tonnage was normal for it to lie on the ground. Although most of the officers decided to abandon the KV-2 and continue to escape, Anton voted against it, using a wooden stake to try to bring the KV-2 out of the mud.
In fact, Anton should be the most sensible person in this regard, and in this case, he will definitely not delay the overall speed for the sake of a valuable equipment. But Anton chose to stay behind to rescue the KV-2 for a reason, the main purpose of which was to give his Soviet fighters a rest, although it may only be a few dozen minutes.
The vast majority of these Soviet fighters had been in a state of tension since the early hours of the morning, and were already busy preparing for battle before dawn, and there was no time to rest for the hours that followed. By now, the physical strength must have been overloaded.
But if you want to tell some people who are busy running for their lives to stop and rest, it must be a difficult thing to do, and they will keep running until they really don't have the strength to realize the importance of this for themselves. But Anton did not allow that to happen, because they were not just in a hurry, it was not clear whether there would be German troops in front of them, and if they met the enemy in that kind of fatigue, they would be passive. Therefore, Anton is probably just continuing to rush to repair the KV-2 under the guise of letting the troops rest. If Andre was awake, it would have been said that Anton was really thinking a lot in this way.
Although it was a break time, in addition to Anton's need to think about tactics, some members of the 217 team did not rest, they were busy repairing the KV-2. They placed a few crossbars carried with the vehicle in front of the tank, using four T-34s and one KV-1 to try to pull the KV-2 stuck in the mud, with the roar of the engine, billowing black smoke rose into the sky, and the KV-2 monster finally pressed on the crossbar after letting out a roar.
However, this was a frightening process - because of the huge turret of the KV-2, which caused a certain degree of lightheadedness, and when pressing on the crossbar, the KV-2's body was slightly unstable and almost fell to one side. Simply in the midst of an exclamation, Kankan fell back, but this time it almost crushed the crosswood.
You know, if a tank is stuck in the mud normally, it can still be rescued, but if it falls sideways in the mud, it is useless to say anything. Although Anton was mentally prepared not to pull out the KV-2, he would rather choose the KV-2 to stop still than the morale-damaging situation.
Since it was pressed on the crossbar, the KV-2's advance was almost the same as on flat ground, and under the action of its own engine, it went to a relatively solid ground, and at this time it finally relieved a large group of onlookers. The members of Team 217 quickly recovered the crosswoods and re-tied them to the sides of the tank.
At least in this regard, the Soviet tanks were more prepared than the German tanks, and most of the German tanks did not have such a thing as self-help wood, and this also made them suffer a lot on the vast Russian land. In contrast, the tracks of the Soviet tanks are wider, and they are not easy to get stuck in the mud, and the configuration of the self-rescue wood allows them to save themselves as soon as possible after this situation occurs, which is tens of thousands of times better than the German troops who can only abandon the car and leave, indignant, and do not know.
And looking at the self-rescue wood tied to his chariot, Anton fell into deep thought, I don't know why, he is now having a strange feeling...... (To be continued.) )
