Nine hundred seventy-one. Air support
Wow, familiar sounds!
The main firepower of the Russians was not only the two raging Maxims, but enough firepower to make the grenadiers abandon the idea of fighting back. But they were exposed, and if Nochir didn't give the order to shoot them out, he thought the grenadiers would curse his "098" to death, though Nochiel didn't know what they thought of the guys behind him!
The shells were loaded, the first target, the first machine gun. Cannonballs whizzed, precise and clean, and high earthen walls rose from the ground. The Russian soldiers operating the machine guns were crushed to pieces, along with their machine guns. Nochiel was already applauding his "098" crew's excellent shooting, and many of the grenadiers cheered at the fact that the machine gun that had held them down was reimbursed. And they are far from being satisfied with just taking away the heavy fire of the Russians, the artillery is ready, and they shoot at will! Target to correct. The previous scene will be repeated!
The entire "098" began to shake violently, and their crew members nearly toppled over from their respective positions. What's going on?
They were lucky, the Russian anti-tank still didn't hit them, although the shells landed unusually close! They have no choice but to reverse! If their "098" was destroyed and they all died, the blame lies with Nochil!
Nochil focused on the heavy machine guns of the Russians who were not associated with him, rather than the anti-tank gun that was enough to kill them, and Nochiel thought that they did not have the time and conditions to fire at the Russians who had already adjusted their muzzles!
And now, even reversing has become a luxury. Nochiel found the location of that anti-tank! He had even seen the muzzle of its black hole rushing towards him. It almost only takes that easy shot!
They couldn't be reversing faster than the shells it fired!
Nochiel didn't say a word or order, just waited blankly for that moment to come, and Bodila looked up. Looking at Nochier: "What...... Reverse! ”
Nochiel shook his head......
The tanks behind them still had no intention of supporting them.
The muzzle of the anti-tank gun was slowly lowering, and even Nochiel could see that the chance of its gun missing was extremely small! The size of the Destroyer 3 tank is really not too difficult to hit! It had already shot a lot of guns, and Nochir thought that maybe even luck should favor it, that it could blow up its own tank in the next second.
Boom! Shout...... Nochiel closed his eyes! I just don't want to look death in the eye!
Rumble! Boom Boom!
How? Serial explosions? Deafening. No, the whole earth seems to tremble! Bodila and Lamel each grabbed the handrail they could. Nochiel was stunned that he was not dead! A violent explosion can occur at this moment! Nochiel looked straight ahead from the periscope! He saw that the position of the anti-tank was now covered with smoke and the flames of violent explosions! Then. Nochier's hearing becomes acute! Nochiel heard the roar of the engine! But it's not like the engine of a tank! Very familiar! The voice...... Right! Looks like an old friend is coming!
All the German soldiers were cheering! They look at the sky! They were thrilled by the German planes that were dive-dropping bombs one after another, and the unmistakable bombshells plowed almost all over the land where the Russians were present, and the powerful bombs turned up the entire layer of soil. Dive bombers are capable of delivering bombs with precision. They were the favorite aerial warhawks of the German army! Because they are for the German army!
The Russians do not intend to give up an already low-hanging victory! They're still pounding! And those, in Nochil's opinion. It's suicide!
Above the sky. A warhawk that had turned its nose slowly drooped until the muzzles of the two machine guns on its wings were rushing towards the Russian soldiers who were pouring in on the Germans...... Dada......
Nochir watched almost as the Russians were torn apart by the large-caliber bullets, and the fighter plane fired a perfect wave of strafing before raising its nose and disappearing into the sky. And that's not all, the formation of the Russians was in disarray, and the second fighter plane came one after another, and the ass sank. A bomb landed unmistakably into the crowd of Russian troops.
There was a loud bang in the sky and a scorching fire, and a blazing fire rose from the ground. Clods of earth and severed arms of Russians. They have completely lost their chance to win this battle! Their casualties, even Nochiel could not bear to estimate any more.
The German fighters circled back and forth, dived and strafed, dropped bombs, and then pulled up, and so on two or three times, and in front of the German army, there were only the corpses of Russian soldiers scattered all over the mountains. It's unimaginable, they lost even the chance to retreat, because the sky belongs to the Luftwaffe! And those air athletes, a bird's-eye view of every corner of here.
Nochiel froze, his eyes foggy. Not only Nochier, but also Bodila and Lamelle, who watched the slaughter without suspense! Almost instantly, the Russian army went from a steady victory to a complete defeat.
Bodila looked at Nochir, wanted to say something but didn't say anything! And Nochier, to his surprise, the German crew, as well as his "098", survived this battle! They are not dead yet!
The Russians are retreating! They've rushed far enough! Once again, their counter-offensive turned into a complete rout.
In the sky behind their "098", a German fighter swooped down again! The winged machine guns fired fiercely! Bullets rained down on the Russians' retreat route, and pillars of earth splashed in two long lines, tearing their chests and heads from the bullets, and they could no longer get up after falling down.
Now, it's the time for the German army!
Nochiel found that Nochil's trust and affection for the Luftwaffe grew deeper, and the Grim Reapers, who were always able to provide the most valuable support to the German armored forces in their most critical moments.
One bombshell after another fell on the heads of the Russian soldiers who retreated in a hurry, and they were powerless to dodge. I can only take all of them to carry this fierce bombardment.
If the Russians only retreated, then the Germans did not have the factors and conditions for a stable victory, because the Germans suffered no less losses than the Russians. Nochiel wondered if these fighters had arrived late, and whether his "098" crew and the entire attack group would have been wrapped up like dumplings by the Russians and eaten clean.
Reinforcements from the German army on land arrived at this time! An infantry battalion!
The Germans had the ability to continue the offensive, while the Russians had already retreated! The corpses they left behind as they retreated were almost the total number of German attacking troops!
Behind "098", the armored elites who had been watching the show for a long time finally took action. Krauss's Leopard IX tank and two other Blaster tanks are also moving forward!
Damn! It's really good at picking the time!
Their "098" is an armored support combat vehicle! However, Nochiel gave the order to attack and advance! At least! Nochiel doesn't want to wipe his ass for Klaus! His ass, let him see for himself!
"Rammel! Start the tank! Let's attack! ”
The other three, except Bodilla, all stared at Nochiel in amazement.
Rummel kindly reminded: "This doesn't seem to be our task!" We're in charge of covering ......."
Nochiel slammed his fist into the device next to him. Although there was a sharp pain in his fingers: "Cover? Cover up a fart! See who's covering whom? ”
Lamel didn't question it, he pulled the lever, and the body of "098" shook violently, and the track 360 rotated at high speed! Right. They're going to take advantage of the victory! They don't care about the life or death of that damn Klaus!
Klaus's "Leopard IX" and the two "Blasters" were behind the side of the "098". And still going! Bodilla's radio picked up a burst of angry yelling from Klaus: "098, damn it! Go back to me! Who covers for us?
Nochiel cursed in his heart, idiot! Cover? Look at the current Russians, what else are they capable of counterattacking! Cover whom? Hit the air with shells?
Bodila took off his headset and shrugged at Nochiel, knowing what he had to do!
"098" move on! They were going at full speed faster than the Russians could run away! So they always have a target worth attacking!
Hans pulled the trigger of the MG62 machine gun like crazy! The rapid and intense burst of lethal bullets knocked over the Russians who were backward and gave them their butts. They have nowhere to hide! Even more powerless to fight back! In the sky is the German dive fighter group, and on the ground is the German army's ironclad steel stream! This was followed by a huge number of infantry clusters! The Russians unless they have the power to return to heaven! They lost!
"098" almost rarely fired, because they had a limited number of shells! Hans didn't control the heat. Even the MG62 is empty! If it's really a coincidence, then it's on the side of their "098" body. A motorcycle sped by, but luckily it didn't get far! "098" came to a halt on the spot, and Hans jumped out of the car and stopped the motorcycle! The two Wehrmacht soldiers on the motorcycle looked at him in surprise, what are they doing? Now it's time to go after it!
Hans shouted: "Give us some of your machine gun bullets!" ”
Two Wehrmacht soldiers shook their heads! The machine gunner who operated the MG62 machine gun on the motorcycle slapped the butt of the machine gun: "Man! Don't you iron guys still have cannons! You don't need a machine gun! ”
Hans's face was ugly, and he couldn't find any excuse to get the bullets!
Klaus's Leopard IX and the two Blasters have overtaken their 098!
Nochiel discovers that Hans is wasting his tongue! Nochir glanced at Bodilla, who knew what Nochil wanted, and pulled out a submachine gun from the weapons storage box next to him and threw it to Nochier: "Miss!" Ricochets also hurt! ”
Nochiel pulled down the gear of the submachine gun with a snapping sound. Nochiel nodded at Bodila and the others, meaning don't worry, I'm in control!
Nochiel is certainly measured! He doesn't want to go to court-martials yet!
The turret cover had been opened by Hans before, so Nochir leaned out of the top with a quick halt, the submachine gun in his hand was not very heavy, until Nochiel raised its stubby gun, and the two motorcyclists seemed to realize that something unpleasant was about to happen! The main driver of the motorcyclist put his foot on the force closure. Prepare to sprint.
Bang Bang Bang ...... Nochiel was just a short point! The submachine gun bullets crumbled the ground in front of the motorcycle into clouds of sand. The two motorcyclists were not moving.
Nochiel smiled: "Hans! Take enough and leave some for them! ”
Hans grinned at Nochier, then took a few steps to the two motorcyclists, who were silent. He almost looted their stockpiled ammunition! It seems that only one box was left. Hans retrieved the looted machine-gun shells back into the cabin, only to find Nochiel and Bodila scanning his body with strange eyes. Surprised, he asked them, "Is it ...... Take the ...... Less? ”
They were already lagging behind, and many of the infantry were ahead of them, and while "098" was able to overtake them quickly, there was something that hindered "098's" speed - the vast corpses of Russian soldiers
They didn't go around, although they felt the bump in the body, but they had to choose to do that. If they had chosen not to run over the corpses, the Germans would have traveled at least three times as far as they do now. Besides, Klaus and the two "Exploders" have already run over these corpses!
The corpses that were intact are now blood paste. They don't have to worry about anything.
The corpses of the festering Russian soldiers, who had been festering beyond recognition, were brutally swept into the tank tracks, and with the rapid rotation of the tracks, large streams of red, blackened, fishy plasma and rotten flesh flowed from the junction of the steel wheels and the tracks.
Luckily, they were in the cabin and didn't have to see the horrific scene! Nochiel thought it would be a nightmare for the rest of his life!
The battle isn't over yet! The Russian army suffered heavy losses, though! But their former front remains. The Russian soldiers, who had retreated to their original positions, hurriedly formed a front. Most of these soldiers were in reserve before them! It's almost a new person.
They have no backup, but they are still unwilling to abandon their positions, perhaps they know their situation and the consequences of retreating! Nochiel thought! Even if they were not caught up by the Germans, killed, or captured, they would have been court-martialed for their lives! They're really carrying out this desperate and stupid command with no scientific basis at all! The Russians simply don't understand what it means to preserve strength!
No one can doubt that Russia will lose this war!
Air support is over! After all, the consumption of aviation fuel is far faster than the diesel fuel of these armored combat vehicles of the German army, and it is also more expensive.
The main thing is: The bellies of those "whistling death" are not very spacious! While they have always been a powerful air support tool, they are unable to carry enough bombs to carry out a sustained bombardment.
The fleet is back! They need to be replenished! And they have already given the Germans the greatest and most timely support! The Russians were in the midst of this wave of indiscriminate bombardment. Both the will and the spirit have collapsed!
But there is a class of armies that fight in despair! This is the case with the Russians, who know that they have no hope of victory, but they are also fighting to the death! For some reason, a different feeling sprouted in the depths of Nochil's heart! Nochiel seemed to admire something that didn't exist, but the feeling was real.
Their "098" continues to move forward, and they have overtaken the infantry who overtook them while they were stranded! Nochiel saw the two "Exploders", which stopped at a safe distance and continued to fire high-explosive grenades at the Russian positions.
That's right, there is no need for infantry support tanks to rush too far ahead! And the German armored support tanks are now on the verge of surpassing them.
Klaus's "Leopard IX" is at the forefront of the entire attack queue! Nochiel saw the bullets that threatened it in the slightest slam into its thick hull, and it was ejected without any suspense.
And every time the "Leopard IX" shook its huge, muscular body, and the shells that erupted from the muzzle of the cannon took a layer of earth and the lives of several Russian soldiers from the Russian position!
Nochil wondered how the Russians would respond to such a near-invincible supertank.
The Russians gave Nochil the answer! A 45-mm anti-tank armor-piercing shell slammed into the front armor of the Leopard IX, and then hit the glass like a bouncy ball. A burst of dazzling sparks burst out, and 45 shells were bounced onto the nearby mounds, and the massive amount of dust that exploded in an instant only blocked the sight of the attacking grenadiers!
The front armor of the "Leopard IX" was only recessed into a small area, and Nochiel looked at the expressions of the members of the Nochiel crew, in addition to envy and jealousy, there was a sense of inevitability in it! That's a good tank!
Klaus's "Leopard IX" turned its muzzle and aimed at the Russians' 45mm anti-tank gun, which tried to destroy it but could not do anything!
They still have it! Nochiel thought that the previous one was their worst anti-armor power!
The fire control system of the "Leopard IX" did not seem to be ordinarily good, and Nochiel estimated from the periscope that Klaus's "Leopard IX" was at least 600 meters away from the anti-tank gun! That distance! The target is also extremely inconspicuous, very small, very small!
Klaus's "Leopard IX" failed to destroy it, but it blew up the limbs of the three Russian gunners who operated the guns!
"Leopard IX." continues to move forward! Nochiel felt bad for him! How did he move on with peace of mind?
Bodila was about to call Klaus, but Nochiel knew what he wanted to say to the bastard, yes, the anti-tank gun was going to be destroyed! And not to kill their gunners! Treating the symptoms is not the root cause, right?
Nochiel stopped Bodila from doing so. (To be continued......)
