When Lynn loaded the five-round magazine with a fifth round, the Soviet infantry in front of him finally retreated in despair. Putting down his rifle, the rookie soldier with a good shooting accuracy let out a long breath, and turned to look at his companion, the "butcher" sitting in the foxhole with his teeth bared, his face mixed with blood and mud, as if he had just crawled out of a pile of dead people. The other two soldiers of the same combat squad are also alive, the thinner one seems to have suffered a bruise on his left arm, and he is bandaging the wound by himself with an indifferent face, and the relatively short and fat one is panting for breath, and his hands are still tightly holding the "** sand". At the height of the situation, both soldiers used Soviet-made submachine guns, plus the Butcher's MP38/40, and they successfully thwarted the attempts of the Soviet soldiers to rush up the hill. At the critical moment, a small group of German infantry came around the hill to support, and Lynn noticed that two of them were using automatic weapons that looked somewhat similar to the AK47 - in chronological order and the correlation between the two, it should be said that the AK47 was partially borrowed from the design ideas of the German MP44 (STG44).

Regardless of whether the Soviets admit to this imitation or not, Lynn felt that the level of German weapons design and development in the late World War II had indeed reached a peak. In addition to assault rifles, their jet aircraft and ballistic rocket technology are all ahead of the times. It's a pity that those in power have not been able to make full use of these technological advantages, but they have responded to an old oriental saying: those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help.

Deeply shocked by the MP44's stunning performance at medium and close range, or proud of his shooting talent, Lynn didn't think of using the "** sand" at his hand at the height of the battle. When he came back to his senses and looked at the Soviet-made submachine gun lying quietly on its side, with a lot of mud on its surface, he felt a sense of trance in his brain, until the rumbling of cannon from the frontal line regained his attention.

The battlefield of dozens of tanks was now a fist ring for less than twenty tanks to fight a final duel, and most of the flaming, smoking, charred and low-barreled guns were Soviet-made tanks and self-propelled guns, while the Germans were destroyed by their opponents, and Lynn saw only two No. 4 tanks and one Type IV assault gun.

Both Tiger tanks are moving, that's right, both are there!

The heartfelt joy is not a fluke of passing the exam, nor is it the pride of the success of the pickle girl, it is full of amazement at the battlefield situation and admiration for the German tankers, it is the compensation for the early morning hope that their fighters will win the air battle and failed, it is the satisfaction of trying their best to hold the position while seeing their comrades have the same brilliant performance, and it is the infinite hope for their own destiny. At this time, a very heroic sentence suddenly popped out of Lynn's head:

Wittmann is dead, but Germany has never lacked trump cards!

In sight, the previously wounded "Tiger" made a sharp stop, and Qiang Qiang dodged the direct fire of the Soviet tank - the shell immediately landed on its right front side. According to the relationship between time and speed, if it had just continued to advance, the weak side of the body would likely be hit by this shot.

Although the horizontal car adjustment gun is full of domineering, in the face of opponents with similar strength, such a posture is very easy for the opponent to seize the opportunity, but it also tempts the opponent to attack first. In the face of the Soviet tank that had already stopped and fired a shot, the "Tiger" calmly adjusted the muzzle of the gun, seizing the opportunity that the opponent had just started and had no time to maneuver to evade!

White smoke of the propellant erupted from the horizontal side holes of the muzzle brakes, and almost at the same time, the hull of the Soviet tank dozens of meters away shone with fire and gray smoke rose. The distance between them was so close that the two puffs of smoke seemed to show signs of converging in one place. Immediately after that, there was a loud bang, and the bright yellow flames instantly swallowed the Soviet tank that was shot, and something similar to the hatch on the top of the tank flew straight into the air on the "rocket", and the violent explosion caused by the explosion of ammunition shocked everyone on the battlefield.

The "Tiger's" inducing wheels rolled again along with the tracks, and the heavy roar of the engine was like the roar of a king after a victory. In Lynn's opinion, his own tankmen have already played the state, just like the powerful swordsman in the era of cold weapons, who dares to go off the rails in real duels and can move freely in front of the enemy's swords and guns.

Suddenly, another "Tiger" that had formed a horn-wrenching momentum also opened fire, and the sound of a cannon sounded like someone suddenly beating a huge war drum, its momentum was majestic, and its sound was even more unstoppable through all obstacles.

This time it was another Soviet T-34 that suffered from it, and although it was raging on the Eastern Front, it would be difficult for these medium tanks to break through the stubborn German defenses, especially if the opponent had strong firepower.

All taken together, the ability of a "Tiger" to support the defensive line is obviously much greater than that of an ordinary 88-mm gun.

Boom! Boom!

Two Soviet assault guns that looked like dwarven warriors fired at the German Tiger tank from hundreds of meters away, and due to the fact that there were several tank wreckage in the middle, only one shell hit the target as expected, and exploded the moment it touched the armor of the Tiger tank's turret, while the other shot landed closely, posing a certain threat to the Tiger tank's wide track on the battlefield.

The "Tiger" that was shot continued to move forward, and instead of turning its gun to retaliate against the slender Soviet assault gun, it stared at the last remaining IS-2 on the battlefield. The Soviet tank, which resembled the "Unicorn" in appearance, had damaged one of the tracks by a mine, and although it could not move forward or backward normally, it was able to turn counterclockwise on the spot with the tracks on the still intact side, and tried its best to aim the thickest armored frontal and the 122 mm tank gun that was most annoying to the enemy. However, from Lynn's position, two groups of German infantry can be seen jumping along the crater in front of the position, holding in their hands the "Iron Fist 60/100", which is very disgusted by Soviet tankers, and these individual anti-tank rocket launchers, which are very easy to carry and use, although the range is not long enough, but the maximum penetration depth reaches more than 200 mm when playing normally, and can cause fatal damage to any type of Soviet tank.

In order to deal with this last IS-2, the Germans not only tanks and infantry went into battle, but also the anti-tank guns located behind the side of the position also concentrated their firepower. Lynn turned his head to look around, and at the beginning of the battle, the defending line could be effectively supported by a total of 11 anti-tank guns and 5 anti-aircraft guns (heavy machine guns), and at this time only 4 anti-tank guns and 2 high-powered anti-aircraft weapons remained, and the destroyed guns were scattered around four or five or more corpses. The German gunners fulfilled their oath with their actions, worth it or not, and now they can only lie quietly on the land that still belongs to Germany. For hundreds of years, it had been a traditional German territory, but it would not be long before they would be permanently divided, and even more cruelly, it would no longer be inhabited by Germans - everyone wanted to know the outcome of the war in advance, but this foresight was now a painful burden for Lynn. He looked up silently, the sky was sad blue, the clouds were bleak white, and even the sun was impersonal.

Boom! Boom!

The ensuing cannon fire played the opening movement of the last scene, and this thrilling armored battle also ushered in the final **. Under the flanking of the two Tiger tanks, the IS-2, which had been trying to fight back, was unable to stand alone, and finally followed in the footsteps of most of its companions in a series of explosions. Some of the tankmen were protected by the thick armor, and after failing to extinguish the fire, they were forced to abandon their vehicles and flee, one of them was killed by the German infantry as soon as he stepped out of the hatch with his front foot, and the other managed to run a few steps before being knocked down by a bullet fired from behind.

From this point on, the remnants of the Soviet tanks completely gave up hope, and they reversed and retreated, and before they were out of the effective range of the German tanks, two more T-34s were killed by the Tiger tanks.

At the cost of the loss of 2 No. 4 tanks, 1 Type 4 assault gun, 7 anti-tank guns, 3 anti-aircraft guns and hundreds of infantry, 5 IS-2, 23 T-34, 16 assault guns of different types and thousands of Soviet infantry were destroyed. If calculated solely in terms of the proportion of losses in combat vehicles, the Germans achieved an astonishing advantage of 1:12 in this battle. Even in the early stage of the Soviet-German war, such a battle loss ratio was quite staggering, not to mention that the Soviet army was equipped with tanks, assault guns and self-propelled guns with more powerful combat effectiveness at this time. But Lynn also knows that there is a fundamental difference between a resolute positional defensive battle and a simple field tank encounter or ambush battle. Without the sacrifice of the defending infantry, the two Tiger tanks would have been attacked more intensively by the enemy; Without the brave and accurate sniping of the defending anti-tank artillery crews, more Soviet T-34s and assault guns would have been free to besiege the German tanks; Such a victory would not have been possible without the tactic of distracting the line of sight with smoke grenades, and without the minefields laid in advance by the infantry to disrupt the position of the Soviet armored forces!

Even though there are so many "ifs", Lynn feels that this kind of battle in which the weak defeat the strong is still a classic, and it should be written into military textbooks and learned from future generations of soldiers, and admired and worshipped by military fans. More important than the tactics was the unrivalled will to fight by the German officers and men. Some people say that the will of the German army in World War II was weaker than that of the German army in World War I, and analyzed and compared the reaction of the army and the people at the outbreak of the war, the battlefield casualties of the soldiers, and even the attitude of the charge, but Lynn felt that it only showed that the degree of enthusiasm of the German [***] team in different eras for war was different. Before the First World War, Germany had to gain practical benefits from every war, which created a nationwide desire to start a war, and after the defeat of the First World War, Germany suffered huge war reparations and its economy collapsed, and people were naturally cautious about re-engaging in the war. If you want to compare the fighting will of the fighters on both sides, why not look at the position of the front at the time of the armistice of the two wars?
