Chapter 306: The Collision of Chinese and Soviet Tanks (Part II)

The Chinese Tiger collided with the Soviet T-26, one was a sixty-ton heavy main battle tank and the other was a twenty-ton light tank, and there was no comparison between the two sides at all. At the first moment of collision, the T-26 turned into kinetic energy and became stationary, and then it was pushed back by the Chinese tiger. Even the armor and barrel in front were bent and could not withstand the impact at all.

Zhao Shukai and the others were all ready to collide, and the protection capacity inside the tank was very good, so they were not injured. But the Soviet T-26 crew was not so lucky, the speed of both sides was not slow, and the impact on each other was very huge. And they were not prepared at all, and there was not much protection for the crew in the T-26 at all. At the time of the collision, the occupants inside were not lightly injured in the violent collision. Bumped and bumped, his body was full of bruises and purples, and it was difficult to move.

"Reverse!"

Before Zhao Shukai shouted, the driver had already changed the tank to retreat, and when the upper distance was opened again, Zhao Shukai didn't even need to aim, and directly ordered the gunner to fire. The cannon was ejected, and the tank in front of it turned into a large flaming fireball. The 105-mm smoothbore shells destroyed the small tank in the first place, and the crew inside did not even have a chance to escape.

The tank clusters of China and the Soviet Union were already scuffling together at this moment, and the Soviet third line of defense was covered by gunpowder smoke and exhaust fumes from tanks, and the visibility was getting lower and lower. The snow, which was originally covered with snow, has now been completely destroyed by tanks, and the original harmonious scene cannot be seen.

The smoke of gunpowder rose into the air, mixed with the already gloomy sky, and added a feeling of black clouds crushing the city.

Neither side of the warring paid attention to these external factors, because they were surrounded by enemies. At this time, you don't even need to aim, you just fight, like a thief who breaks down the door and enters, and beats him to death.

More and more tanks on the battlefield were hit and burned, and there were not a few tanks lying on their stomachs. At this time, the Soviet side finally had a record, and there were already more than a dozen Chinese tigers lying where they could not move, all because the tracks were hit. These tanks are basically tracks that are hit continuously, armor is pierced, and tracks are broken.

However, even if they couldn't move, the armored soldiers in the Chinese tiger did not give up the battle, at this time the two sides were already entangled, and there were still many targets for them to attack, anyway, the tank guns could be used, but they couldn't go.

And once there is a tank lying on the ground, the tanks of the same tank platoon will take cover to ensure their safety.

The battlefield looked stalemate for a short time, because of the large number of Soviet tanks. However, as time went on, more and more Soviet tanks were destroyed, and the gap in numbers between the two sides gradually narrowed.

The Chinese Leopards, who had already encircled the Soviet tank cluster, also began to join the battlefield at this time, and they had completed the tactics of encircling on three sides, and it was time for them to take action. Compared with the Chinese Tiger's 105mm smoothbore gun, the 76mm smoothbore gun on the Chinese Leopard is not weak at all, although the lethality is not as good as the Chinese Tiger, but it is better than the characteristics of fast rate of fire and high accuracy. And it's still specifically looking for the T-26 to start.

Hundreds of Chinese Leopards from both directions joined the battlefield, and the situation on the entire battlefield was reversed for the first time. The Chinese leopards of the two defense lines were like two sharp knives plunged straight into the middle and rear of the Soviet tank cluster, and the tank guns were constantly playing the death music of the Soviet tanks. The T-26 was constantly broken down, and the power dynamics of the two sides were reversed at this moment, and the Chinese tanks began to have the upper hand in numbers.

Although the Soviet side is very good at fighting in a scuffle, it is not at all easy to meet an opponent like China. Although the tank guns of the Soviet Union can pose a threat to the Chinese leopard, the threat is also limited, and one or two guns do not pose a threat to the protection ability of the Chinese leopard. As long as it is not hit continuously, the Chinese leopard can survive. On the contrary, if you look at the Soviet side, even if the T-34/76 meets the Chinese Leopard, it is not enough to see.

This tank, which was originally researched to deal with the Chinese Leopard, is not good in the face of the real Chinese Leopard. Although the Soviet side also considered that the foreign trade tank had been weakened and improved a lot of performance, it still underestimated the real strength of the Chinese Leopard. The actual combat test of the T-34/76 on the battlefield has already confirmed that a tank of this strength is not an opponent of the Chinese Leopard. Maybe after the T-34/85 comes out in the future, it will be able to compete with the current Chinese Leopard, but that type of tank has not yet been made. And now more than 500 T-34/76s will be buried forever on the Siberian plain.

On the battlefield, you come and go, cannonballs are constantly flying, and at this time, when the Chinese leopard joins the battlefield, the scale of victory has been tilted towards the Chinese side. The two sides were already entangled, and it was difficult for the Soviet side to retreat, that is, to retreat behind the defensive line, and to lose at least half of the tanks. And most likely, not even a single T-34/76 will go back.

Just when the tanks of the two sides were in full swing, on the Chinese side, hundreds of snipers armed with anti-materiel sniper rifles quietly came to the battlefield. They did not penetrate deep into the area where the two sides were fighting, but directly took a shooting stance on the periphery, looking for an opportunity to shoot.

Zhang Feiguo was carrying an anti-materiel sniper rifle at this time, and the previous small-caliber sniper rifle had been left behind by him. Bullets of that caliber are no longer needed here, but 12.7 mm or 20 mm armor-piercing rounds.

He placed the hideous anti-materiel sniper rifle in the snow, took two pieces of iron from his pocket and placed them at the bottom of the tripod, after which the tripod was lowered. The whole person was lying on his stomach in the snow, holding an anti-materiel sniper rifle, and his eyes were fifteen centimeters away from the scope. The crosshair is constantly on the battlefield looking for a target to attack.

His task is not to blow up the tank, and it is impossible to do it with the weapons in hand. The main goal is to kill and injure the crew of the tank, disabling the tank, and then becoming an immobile target. The ideal target is a tank driver. As long as the driver is defeated, the tank will be unable to move for a short time, and during this time, it can be destroyed several times.

Zhang Feiguo looked at one target after another through the scope, and there were many targets that could be attacked, but he didn't act. Like the tank crew, he looked at the T-34/76, and as for the T-26, he didn't have to use the 20mm anti-materiel sniper rifle, which was a waste. Because as long as a 12.7mm sniper rifle can penetrate it, the effect is the same anyway, if you can't waste it, you don't waste it, or leave these targets to other snipers who use 12.7mm caliber. And the 12.7mm anti-materiel sniper rifle is not yet able to penetrate the T-34/76, even if it does, it does not have much lethality. So the heavy responsibility falls on those snipers who are armed with 20mm sniper rifles.

Zhang Feiguo has always been very glad that he rescued the Chinese merchant from the outpost and launched an attack on the Soviet pursuers. Not only did he and his comrades get merit, but it also gave him the opportunity to get the most advanced sniper rifle. I was fortunate enough to see this tank battle and to be part of it. In addition, he said that he was most happy that he had such a platform to express himself. At the same time, he is also glad that even as a border guard, he has never forgotten sniper training, otherwise he would not have been able to get this big killer that countless snipers dream of. Because when you get the opportunity, you have to go through the assessment, and if you can't get through, you will return to the original unit, and only if you can get by can you have the opportunity like today. He passed and had a chance to get here.

The snipers knew the location of the drivers of both Soviet tanks, and when they were allowed to take part in the battle, they had seen detailed drawings of both tanks. Just because of the information sent by the spies, otherwise it would be difficult for them to find the point of attack at once.

A T-34/76 facing him entered Zhang Feiguo's eyes, this is a good opportunity, although the frontal armor is relatively thick, but it is still difficult to resist the anti-materiel sniper rifle specially designed for tanks in his hand.

The crosshair in his eyes slowly changed the trajectory with the swing of the tank, and in Zhang Feiguo's perception, the surroundings suddenly fell into silence, and the roar of the tank and the sound of shells in the distance seemed to disappear for a while. He has nothing but a goal in his eyes.

When the crosshair in his eyes was about to overlap with the firing point again, Zhang Feiguo did not hesitate, out of the instinct of a sniper, he knew that he could shoot at this time.

"Bang!" A loud gunshot rang out, and the bullet instantly hit the T-34/76 in Zhang Feiguo's eyes, directly penetrating the left armor in front of the tank, opening a hole the size of a baby's fist. The T-34/76 swung a few times, slowly slowing down, and then stopped moving, and even the engine stalled.

And just when this T-34/76 stopped moving forward, a Chinese Tiger not far away did not miss such a great opportunity. One shot hit, take this Soviet tank directly.

Through the scope, Zhang Feiguo saw that the tank numbered 255 destroyed the target he had just hit, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This is the effect you want, the new tanks are not easy to aim, after all, the battlefield is vigilant against the opponent's attack, which reduces the probability of hitting. And the tank that stops moving forward is a living target, and it is a fool not to hit.

Zhang Feiguo did not continue to pay attention to the already destroyed tanks, but once again looked for new targets. His battle had only just begun, and time was precious.

In the No. 255 Chinese Tiger tank, Zhao Shukai was extremely happy to see another tank being killed, although this tank didn't know why it stopped, it might be a mechanical failure or other reasons, but he didn't have the heart to care about it. Directly in my heart, I gave myself a heavenly glory for my achievements, thinking: eight T-34/76, four T-26, thank you so much to the Soviets, roast the whole sheep I came.

For more than an hour, with such a record, you can indeed be proud of it. If you have to sum up the results now, his record can definitely be among the best.

The Sino-Soviet tank clash lasted four hours, and when the last Soviet tank lay on its stomach due to engine failure, the Soviet tank units on the Siberian plains were completely lost. The decline that Zhukov had tried so hard to recover became even worse.
