"Comrade Konstantin, according to the reaction of our comrades at the front, on several battlefields we have encountered unprecedented resistance from the enemy's super-heavy tanks. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThis heavy tank is huge, has two coaxial guns, and has incredible defense, and our fighters have not been able to destroy it despite all means! ”

Rokossovsky immediately attracted attention, he had previously received a military . The warning of the Germans was that the Germans had developed a batch of doomsday weapons, and now that their doomsday had apparently come, the Nazis would inevitably jump over the wall to use these superweapons.

"Are there any pictures or real objects of this new tank?" Rokossovsky asked.

The staff officer smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, Comrade Konstantin, none of us can get close to this tank, so there are no photos!" ”

Rokossovsky frowned, and resolutely ordered: "Pass my order, you must try your best to get the photos, contact the air force to engage in a close air-ground cooperation, and strive to destroy a tank of this kind and drag it back to Kubinka for study!" ”

At the time of Rokossovsky's order, Zhang Huangxin and Boris had just narrowly escaped by hiding in a destroyed T-34 to escape the German army. Right before their eyes, the huge rat tank rumbled past.

"What kind of monster is this?" Zhang Huangxin asked in a low voice.

Boris shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly: "How do I know, this is definitely not a Tiger tank or a Tiger King, and it is not the same as the Tiger Hunter we encountered before, this is a brand new and unprecedentedly huge tank, which is the secret weapon of the Germans!" ”

Zhang Huangxin nodded with palpitations and agreed: "It's too powerful, there is simply no weapon that can destroy them." ”

Yes, just before, the Red Army organized another offensive, and three T-54s tried to challenge the giant rat, but their armor-piercing and armor-piercing shells could not penetrate the armor of the giant rat at all, but the unprecedented 128-mm main gun of the giant rat taught the T-54 to be a man in minutes.

"This monster armor is definitely more than 250 mm, otherwise the T-54 would not have been able to penetrate it. And you can see it, it's unprecedented! ”

Zhang Huangxin nodded: "Well, there is also that unprecedented turtle speed." ”

Yes, the rat's speed is simply too slow, and its unprecedented size and weight also determine that its engine and transmission system are also unprecedentedly fragile, and can only squirm on the ground.

"To defeat it, it's best to go around the flanks and attack it from both wings." As an old armored soldier, Boris gave his own answer. It's just that this answer is useless in Zhang Huangxin's opinion, because this damn rat is hiding in the city, and the narrow streets are doomed to the Red Army armored troops who can't go around from the flanks to attack the rear of its flanks.

"Let's not talk about that monster, let's think about what we're going to do next!"

Yes, Zhang Huangxin and Boris are not in a good situation right now. Although the Germans gave up their search, the whole town was still under their control. And because of the presence of giant rats, who can guarantee that the Red Army will be able to capture this place quickly? And as long as they stay in danger for a few more moments, they will be in more danger.

"Running out of the dark?" Zhang Huangxin suggested.

Boris responded to this suggestion, and the pair sneaked out of the tank, and the sneaky apostles made their way through the German lines. But soon, they found that this was not much different from looking for death, the Germans were reinforcing the line overnight, and the whole town was a "hot" scene. In desperation, they had no choice but to retreat.

"What should I do?"

The question was in front of the tired and hungry Zhang Huangxin and Boris, but their only way out seemed to be waiting.

The next day soon came, and in the early morning, accompanied by heavy shelling, the Red Army began to go on the offensive. Hiding in the battle-damaged T-34, Zhang Huangxin and Boris carefully watched the situation on the battlefield.

The Red Army's offensive was as fierce as ever, and the infantry, under the cover of artillery and tanks, soon again broke through the first line of German defense, and the two sides again fell into street fighting. This time, the Red Army was much more cautious, and did not blindly throw in the armored forces in one go, but chose to open the way by combat sappers and cautiously approached the core area of the town.

At first, it went well, and the Germans were repulsed step by step, but when the giant rat was once again engaged in the battle, the situation was completely different, and the T-54, which was covering the combat engineers, was quickly shot in the head, and the violent detonation shook Zhang Huangxin's eardrums. Then there was a one-sided slaughter, and the slowly leisurely giant rat crushed all the way down, blasting everything that dared to stand in his way. The Red Army's attack was quickly repulsed, and the soldiers fled from the town in disarray.

"It's not okay to be so tough, the ground forces are no match for that monster at all, and they must be supported by the Air Force!"

In fact, the commander of the Red Army also found out about this problem, so he soon contacted the Air Force and prepared a joint air-ground offensive to break the deadlock.

The Il-2 was soon over the town, and after a few circles, the pilot quickly identified the target, and then took turns diving into the dive, ready to take out the massive rat in one fell swoop. However, at this time, the German anti-aircraft fire hidden in the town showed its fangs, and the 37mm and 20mm anti-aircraft guns opened heavy fire, and the Il-2, which had just dived down, hit a fire net head-on, and two were shot down on the spot, and the other two were also wounded and fled. This made the Red Army soldiers, who had just been preparing to muster up the courage to attack again, dumbfounded.

And it was only then that they understood the tactics of the Germans, in short, a fortress tactic in disguise. Hitler built a large number of similar small fortresses at important nodes around Berlin. With one or two super-heavy tanks in each small fort as mobile support points, and a large amount of anti-aircraft fire cover, it was going to be extremely difficult for the Red Army to conquer these forts.

Of course, it didn't do much to be honest, because it only delayed the Nazis' deaths. It is true that these forts are more difficult to gnaw, but in the end, these forts will be uprooted in relation to the all-round superiority of the Red Army. At this time, I am afraid that Hitler was the only one who still dreamed of using the fortress to delay the Red Army and then counterattack in a big way.

However, the problems faced by the Red Army were also very real, and although Hitler's new fortress could not change the final outcome for the time being, it was enough to disgust the Red Army. The Red Army was now in a race against Britain and the United States, and if too much time was wasted on Hitler's fortress, the final result would certainly not be as wonderful as Li Xiaofeng had imagined.

So the Red Army was faced with a difficult problem, and in order to solve this problem, Rokossovsky and Zhukov had to hurry up and use their brains.

"Intensify the bombing? Just wipe these fortresses off the map? ”

This is a suggestion, this very yellow and violent method was devised by Zhukov, in his opinion there has never been an insurmountable fortress in this world, with the current level of the Red Army, it is possible to blow these fortresses flat, although it does take time to blow up these fortresses and consume a lot of ammunition, but this method is the simplest.

So the 2nd Ukrainian Front immediately adopted this method, and under Zhukov's orders, a bomber aviation army and a strike aviation army were thrown into this "difficult" task. In just five days, these two armies dropped 5,000 tons of bombs, almost blowing up the towns on the way of the Ukrainian Second Front's attack.

Not to mention, the effect is quite good, although this tactic of violent crushing indiscriminately killed and injured German soldiers and civilians, but it smashed Hitler's fortress.

Well, this is Zhukov's approach, he has always been good at solving problems with violence. And what about Rokossovsky's approach?

Rokossovsky was not as violent as Zhukov, his method was to bypass these fortresses directly, and the armored forces would no longer pay attention to these nasty nails, and directly advance towards Berlin, as for these nails, they would be handed over to the infantry in the second echelon to follow.

In fact, it was not a solution, because the infantry that followed did not immediately attack these fortresses, but surrounded them without attacking them. If the Germans stayed honestly in the towns, the Red Army would ignore them at all, but if they wanted to come out and wreak havoc, the Red Army would resolutely fight them back.

This one doesn't really work. Because Hitler's fortress tactics have a fatal weakness, that is, there is no problem with only defending them, but as soon as they get out of the town and enter the field link, they will be blown up in minutes.

What about the rat tank, it is true that it can be powerful on narrow streets, but as soon as it reaches the open field, a large number of Red Army tank groups will teach it to be a man in minutes. In fact, there was no need for the armored units of the Red Army to attack, as long as the rats ran into the field without air defense cover, the air force's attack planes and helicopters could cut the rats into eight pieces in a matter of minutes.

The bypass tactics were more effective than Zhukov's crushing tactics, more ammunition saving, and there were no large number of civilian casualties attached to the defeated maneuver. Rokossovsky patted his ass in a dashing manner and left, which made the Germans completely helpless.

Of course, this is not good news for Zhang Huangxin and Boris. These two were surrounded by the Germans, and after a day and a night in the wreckage of the T-34, they really couldn't hold on.

"We must get out of here!" Boris said with great certainty, "Otherwise, we will starve to death if we don't freeze to death!" ”

Zhang Huangxin completely agreed, but he only had one question: "How to escape!" ”

The surrounding area is the defensive position of the German devils, and the nearest firepower point is only thirty meters away, as long as they crawl out of the wreckage of the T-34, I am afraid that they will be discovered by the German devils, and they will be greeted by guns.

Boris is confident: "I have observed in the past two days, the Germans are not so vigilant when they change the guard, as long as we are careful, we can completely avoid their eyes and ears!" ”

"The question is, what's the use of that?" Zhang Huangxin asked rhetorically, "Even if the German devils dodged this firepower point, there must be a large number of enemy firepower points around here, how to dodge?" ”

Boris was still confident, he pointed and said, "Did you see that T-34?" ”

"Which one?"

"The one whose tracks were blown off!"

"See, what's the use?" Zhang Huangxin asked rhetorically.

"We sneaked in the night, shorted the track, and drove it out!"

This is indeed a solution, but Zhang Huangxin thinks that it may not be possible to rely on the two of them alone, right? Changing tracks is heavy work!

"If you can't, you'll have to try, or you want to be captured by the Germans?" Boris replied angrily.

Zhang Huangxin was naturally unwilling, seeing that he was about to win and was captured by the enemy, which was simply a great shame. Of course, he didn't want to be captured, so naturally Boris's suggestion passed.

Late at night, taking advantage of the lax defense of the German handover, Zhang Huangxin and Boris finally seized the opportunity to escape, and cautiously crawled along the way, and it took ten minutes to climb this 100-meter-long distance.

"Attention, I'll take the tools and check the state of the tank, you pay attention to the movements of the German devils, and notify me immediately if there is any situation!" Boris commanded.

He cautiously climbed up to the turret, and was about to open the hatch when a black hole in the muzzle of a gun pressed against his nose.

"Who?"

Good guys, it turns out that there are still people in the tank! Boris broke out in a cold sweat, but soon he was happy again, because by the moonlight he found out that it was his own people in the tank.

The two Red Army infantrymen, Vladimir and Semyon, also hid in this tank for a long time, and since yesterday's daytime attack was repulsed, they were responsible for covering the retreat of their comrades behind the palace, and they had no choice but to hide and seek with the German devils.

"Why don't you fix the tank?" Boris asked.

"We don't know how to fix it, and we don't know how to drive tanks." Vladimir replied very matter-of-factly.

"Okay, none of this matters, the most important thing now is that you hurry up and help and try to fix the tank before dawn, and then we can get out of this damn place!"

Under Boris's command, the intense repair work began, in fact, Boris was the only one who really knew how to repair, and the other three people just helped to make some efforts, and it took three hours to pick up the broken tracks, and then the four brothers and sisters re-entered the tank with joy to discuss the final escape details.

"We can't move during the day," Semyon said, "and the devils are very focused during the day, and they will soon find us, as you should have seen, that monster will swallow us all the bones and skin!" ”

Obviously, the great power of the rat made the old Reds a little frightened, and Vladimir added: "It is better to act at night, and it is easier for us to succeed under the cover of night." ”

Zhang Huangxin touched his cooing stomach, he ate half a piece of chocolate in two days, and he really couldn't bear it now. And he asked a more practical question: "In such cold weather, the tank has been freezing for two more days, and it is not so easy to launch, right?" ”

This question suddenly made Boris's face change greatly, because he really forgot about this stubble, it is not so easy to start a tank in winter, sometimes it is necessary to burn a fire under the car in order to thaw the tank. Otherwise, you don't want to let this frozen iron lump move.

And this question also brings up a series of questions: "When it is launched, the movement is not small, right?" What if the devil finds out? ”

Anyway, Boris was pale by these questions, because he also realized that things are not so simple.

"Sooner or later, we will all be discovered by the enemy!" In the end, it was Zhang Huangxin who strengthened everyone's confidence, "You can't give up the last hope because you are afraid of being discovered by the enemy." I advocated acting according to the original plan, and when the enemy found out, we used the guns on the tank to fight the enemy! ”

His proposal was finally unanimously agreed, and according to their respective division of labor, the four men were busy, and Boris was responsible for launching the tank, and there was no second person who could do this work, but he had to do it. Zhang Huangxin was responsible for manipulating the turret, and once detected by the enemy, he was responsible for repelling the enemy's encirclement. As for Vladimir and Semyon, they were mainly responsible for observing and manipulating the remaining auxiliary weapons to assist Zhang Huangxin.

It was just dawn, Boris waited patiently, you ask what to wait for? Naturally, they waited for the Germans to launch the Rat tank, and the engine of the Rat tank was too loud, which played a certain role in masking and could mask the sound of the T-34 starting. Although this cover-up is not useful for all German devils, it is always good to have one less enemy.

Some comrades may ask, who dares to guarantee that the rat tank will definitely start? What if it doesn't move?

Is this a possibility? Truthfully say, "No! ”。 The reason is very simple, any tank in the winter can not be started overnight, especially the rat tank this huge size and the engine is very fragile model, in order to ensure its next day of combat, it is necessary to carry out the engine hot car, even if it does not plan to move today, it must also heat up the car, otherwise once it comes to the critical time, the engine is frozen porcelain, that is not only to sit and wait for death?

Soon, Boris waited for the noise of the rat tank, and there was good news and bad news for him, the good news was that the monster was very close to them, and the noise of the engine greatly interfered with the judgment of the Germans. And the bad news is also here, because they are close, once they are discovered, they will soon be sliced into eight pieces by this monster.

Thundered...... Thundered......

The noise of the engine resounded in the sky, and of course the biggest noise maker was the giant rat, and even the Germans could not stand the noise it made and blocked their ears. This gave Boris an opportunity to start the B2 engine with all his might, and finally when the continuous roar sounded, he couldn't help but cheer.

"Warm up the car first! Don't be in a hurry! ”

The experienced Boris warned his friends that the diesel engine that had just started could easily stall in the cold winter, and he did not want to break down after just a few steps and be torn to pieces by the German devils.

The continuous sound of hot cars finally caught the attention of the German devils, and they were shocked to find that right under their noses, a Red Army T-34 had been repaired without realizing it!

"Fire! Destroy it! ”

The Germans hurriedly began to fire at the T-34, but the machine-gun bullets did not do much damage to the T-34. However, they also succeeded in giving Boris a whip and urging them to start their escape journey quickly.

The engine revs finally stabilized, Boris didn't hesitate to put up reverse gear, and after a nice turn on the spot, he immediately switched back to the forward gear. As the B2 engine puffed a puff of smoke, the T-34 trotted forward briskly.

Zhang Huangxin was not idle, he turned the turret over, aimed at the German firepower point and fired fiercely, I have to say that Zhang Huangxin's anger has been rising in the past two days, and now he finally found a chance to take revenge on these damn German miscellaneous pieces, to be honest, he was so happy that he temporarily forgot that he was still in an extremely dangerous environment.

Boris didn't have as many thoughts as Zhang Huangxin, he concentrated on driving out of town, but he soon found that this road was impassable.

The road was full of German firepower, and the general machine guns and rifles were okay, and basically you couldn't take the T-34. But the Germans had already popularized the Iron Fist anti-tank rocket launcher on a large scale at this time, and this small thing that did not occupy the establishment and was cheap to build was too useful for the German grenadiers.

Rocket after rocket hit the T-34, which put Boris under tremendous pressure, and he had to make frequent turns or make a sharp stop to avoid the armor-piercing shells fired from both sides of the road.

Of course, armor-piercing shells are not the biggest problem, Vladimir, who operated the anti-aircraft machine gun, was unusually strong, and even leaned out to manipulate the machine gun to shoot at both sides of the road, and the rain of bullets will either nail or scare away the German devils who tried to ambush the T-34, most of the armor-piercing shells were not accurate, only one shot hit the hull of the T-34, and the jet hit the seat of the radioman next to Boris.

However, the damage was negligible, and the radioman did not exist anyway, and it was the giant rat that really frightened Boris. Crossing a junction, Boris saw the oncoming giant rat. This is not the first time Boris has come into contact with a giant rat head-on, the last time he and Zhang Huangxin took a Turkish plane together, and almost lost their lives. This time, Boris reacted slightly quicker, and just as the giant rat was ready to fire, he made a sharp turn, and the T-34 let out a sharp howl, drawing an S on the road, narrowly avoiding the fatal 128mm armor-piercing round.

The armor-piercing projectile was so powerful that it opened a hole in the building behind the T-34 and pierced through four or five floors of walls before falling to the floor with a thud.

At the same time, Zhang Huangxin also fired urgently, and the 85mm armor-piercing bullet hit the giant rat in the face, making a dang sound, and then fell weakly on the street, and then was directly crushed into slag by the giant rat's tracks.

"it! Turn! Turn around! ”

Zhang Huangxin, Vladimir and Semyon, who witnessed this scene, exclaimed in unison, and Boris also responded to their request, and with a stunned push, he directly crashed into a shop on the side of the street and rushed to the other side of the street...... (To be continued.) )
