Seeing that the more than 20 Soviet tanks that still had an absolute advantage in numbers continued to retreat until they disappeared from sight, the German officers and men who held their positions finally breathed a sigh of relief. After a fierce battle for more than an hour, four or five out of ten of the dead were killed, and the living all had a kind of amazement for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe. For Lynn, this battle was another escape from death, but compared with the blindness and helplessness of the earlier, he made the best efforts for the final result of this battle, and the results also made a "qualitative" leap: according to his self-calculations, a total of 16 Soviet officers and soldiers were killed in this battle, plus the killing and wounding of grenades, killing and wounding more than 20 enemies, and it is estimated that more than 10 people were killed. Judging from the efficiency of a single battle, Lynn has the potential to squeeze into the ranks of the top shooters in World War II, but the Third Reich, which is similar to the remnant sun, can no longer give him enough room to play at this time. What really pleased Lynn was the solidarity of his comrades, and he felt that if the Germans were able to perform at this level in every battle with the Soviets, even if they only maintained half of the battle loss ratio, they still had a chance to turn the tide of the war.

A good wish is just a wish after all, and before the victory that the dead companion has exchanged for his life has not yet been grasped, the living are facing a new test of life and death. Without receiving any air raid alerts, a group of Soviet Il-2 strike planes with the notoriety of "Black Death" suddenly attacked at a low altitude. It's not absolute that the arms on the battlefield are comparative, but this kind of fighter with machine guns, rockets, and heavy aerial bombs can be called "tank killers", with thick armor that allows them to ignore machine gun bullets from enemy ground forces, and slower flight speed means an ideal weapon launch platform when attacking.

Lynn was also shocked to see six Il-2s appear on the battlefield at a height close to the treetops. At this time, there were still hundreds of German infantrymen who left the trenches to search and clean up the wreckage of Soviet tanks, and two gray-and-white Tiger tanks had no time to retreat to the relatively secluded woods. What's worse is that all the anti-aircraft weapons on the right flank of the defense line were lost in the battle, and the Soviet attack planes went straight to that side!

As with Lynn's previous air raids on the retreat, Soviet fighters first attacked the target with rockets when they arrived on the battlefield. The scene of twenty or thirty aerial rockets dragging tail flames and white smoke through the air looks quite spectacular, and although the most primitive trigger-type fuses are used, their attack accuracy and speed are significantly improved compared with traditional aerial bombs. Barely waiting for the German officers and soldiers on the ground to react effectively, these rockets were already whizzing, and the series of explosions they triggered were comparable in intensity and intensity to the salvo of large-caliber howitzers, and even formed a terrible effect of "rolling carpet" in a certain area.

From the air, the three tanks and an assault gun that the Germans were moving towards the woods should be the most striking targets, and a large part of the rockets fired by the Soviet attack planes were indeed heading straight for them. In a matter of seconds, the flames and smoke from the violent explosion "swallowed" them. In the woods, Lynn didn't have to worry about his comfort, he nervously watched the tanks. When the smoke and dust dissipated, the figure of Tank No. 4 appeared first, but it was extremely regrettable that it collapsed in place, and the track on the left side had fallen off the induction wheel and the load wheel. Four tankmen abandoned their cars and fled into the woods - in this case, saving their lives would have the only way to repair the tanks!

Immediately afterward, two Tiger tanks came back into view, the one in front of them was still struggling to drive towards the woods on the side, while the other was parked like Tank 4, except that its tracks were not damaged to the naked eye. As for the No. 3 assault gun, it was also trying to retreat into the woods at this time.

Seeing that the German tanks that were still on the battlefield not long ago were so embarrassed in front of only six Il-2s, Lynn was full of loss and helplessness, and at the same time fell into a deep reflection: blindly mocking [***] in front of himself to throw away his armor may not be objective, after all, the aviation force of the Yue army at that time was far stronger than that of the [***] team, coupled with the gap between the two sides in terms of battlefield artillery, it is actually a normal reaction for the [***] soldiers who have not undergone too much modern training to collapse. Even if the American, British, French, and even German soldiers were replaced, they might not be able to win the battle under the same equipment conditions.

From this point of view, the quality of equipment, the quality of soldiers, the size of the army, and other factors together constitute the balance of victory or defeat in the war, if the overall strength of one side is at a clear disadvantage, then it will be very difficult to win the victory -- in terms of individual combat effectiveness, the German tank is better than the Soviet tank, and the infantry is equal to the infantry, but on the Eastern Front at this time, the German army not only lost the air supremacy on the battlefield, but was also at a disadvantage of nearly 1 to 3 in terms of strength, even if the war was fought on the German mainland, the fate of defeat may not be reversed!

With this thought in mind, Lynn watched the one-sided battle in front of her more and more painfully. Six Il-2s quickly pulled up, turned around, and attacked again, and the German soldiers at the rear of the village tried to provide smoke screen cover for their own lines with smoke launchers, but before they could fire rockets, one of the Il-2s spotted them. The Black Reaper deftly flanked in mid-air and dropped the bomb mounted under the belly. Although the bomb landed more than 10 meters away from the six-barreled smoke launcher, the power of a heavy aerial bomb weighing several hundred kilograms was so amazing that it could even sink a multi-thousand-ton ship or an ordinary destroyer, and it could instantly kill and injure lives within 100 meters on land. The powerful impact of the explosion instantly knocked down the smoke launcher that had been fixed in the gun carriage and slid sideways for a distance, and the exposed human body was destroyed in the storm of explosives.

Lynn watched helplessly at what was really happening in front of her, and there were still many German soldiers in the positions around the village who were firing into the air with their guns, but they were not the boss of Kim, and they did not have the ability to shoot down the enemy plane with that shot, and most of the bullets were fired into the air in vain. The Il-2 apparently didn't care about this weak ground firepower, and the five planes that went straight to the German tanks were divided into two groups, the front three dropped aerial bombs one after another, and when they pulled up the nose, the rear two followed up to replenish the bombs. All five black, round bombs were dropped on the Tiger - and if they didn't hit, Lynn knew they would shoot overhead with machine guns, and that was the Tiger's weakest point!

Where are your fighters? And where are those advanced jet fighters?

Lynn couldn't help but sigh at the sky, he knew that there must be many people here who had the same expectations as himself, and who were also disappointed.

After the violent explosion, only the Tiger tank was still in the smoke and struggled to retreat into the woods. There are a lot of incendiary materials on the turret and the body, and the majestic king of the land has become a lost dog at this time, and it is like a defeated soldier who hears the call of home, no matter whether he wins or loses, as long as he can return alive......

The quadruple cannon roared angrily in the vicinity, crying out for its own companions and fighting for its own fate. However, its range was so limited, and it was so far away from the battlefield on the other side of the village, that the rising points of light never threatened the Soviet attack planes that were whizzing and whizzing away over the battlefield. After a while, six Il-2s climbed to a height of several hundred meters, and then swooped down at a large angle. Looking at this posture, people also know that they are ready to "open the head" of the German tanks.

When the dull whimper of the plane's engine and the roar of the machine gun in the air reached her ears, Lynn couldn't bear to look at it anymore. The "butcher" who stood up from the crater looked intently at the other side of the village, and he did not know whether he was praying for his comrades or cursing the ruthless Soviet pilots, who may have a heart for revenge, or maybe they were just doing their duty. Whatever the case, Lynn had a hard time putting hatred on them. After all, this is war!

In the face of the rotational strafing of Soviet attack planes, the only operational Tiger tank had to sway left and right in an irregular course, and the raindrops of machine shells swept the ground around it, constantly making a crisp sound that was completely different from that of bullets. At this time, German tankers may have missed the smoke launchers installed on the side of the turret of the Tiger tank in the early days, but some tankers complained that smoke grenades accidentally exploded on the battlefield would interfere with the field of view, and this ahead of its time design was later cancelled. The new S-mine launchers (melee anti-infantry grenade launchers) are also capable of firing smoke grenades, but in most cases they are designed to be equipped with anti-infantry grenades, and the later models of the Tiger tank have done away with the device located in the body and only keep one on the top of the turret, which can play a very weak role.
