"Have you ever been chased and bitten by a vicious dog?"

Years later, when a reporter asked Zhang Huangxin what it was like to be chased by a giant rat at that time, he replied. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yes, Zhang Huangxin and his friends are really quite embarrassed, it can almost be described as a dog jumping over the wall, they crashed through the shops on the side of the street, and fled to another street in embarrassment, which temporarily got rid of the pursuit of the giant rat.

It's just a temporary improvement, because the giant rat is so vicious. Its maneuverability did not allow it to do the same, but its gunner opened heavy fire in the direction of the T-34's escape.

"The Germans are crazy!" Zhang Huangxin recalled, "It kept firing on the other side of the street, and the 75mm grenade chased after our butts, and then the 128mm grenade, and it took only three minutes for the madman to raze a small three-story brick and concrete building to the ground." Then it ran over the ruins unhurriedly and continued to chase us! ”

At that time, Zhang Huangxin fired at the giant rat again, but the d-85's armor-piercing bullet was once again ejected by the giant rat's armor. Turn! ”

Boris can also be regarded as a good heart, as soon as Zhang Huangxin's voice fell, he made a 90-degree sharp turn, crashed into a telephone pole and rushed into an alley. At this moment, a shell flew almost past the turret of the T-34, knocking down half of the building opposite!

"It's invulnerable!" Zhang Huangxin screamed.

The implication of this remark is to let Boris help him think of a way to continue to be hunted down, and sooner or later he will have to eat cannonballs.

"Go around behind it!" Vladimir suggested.

However, this suggestion is basically not possible, because as soon as he rushed out of the corner, a rocket flew over the opposite side, so as to hang the T-34 headshot.

"There are too many enemies! How to wrap around! Boris complained.

"Then run!" This is Semyon's suggestion. And it seems that this is the only suggestion that is slightly more reliable at this time.

Boris hit the bottom of the throttle and drove the T-34 out of the Ferrari feel, and of course, the Germans tried to stop them, constantly greeting them with machine guns, grenades and bazookas. However, it was probably because Boris was too fast and too coquettish, and most of the attacks missed, at most one or two grenades smashed on the hull and exploded, which did not cause much damage.

"Damn it, close the hatch!"

A piece of shampel grazed Semyon's arm, and he couldn't help but be anxious when he realized that Vladimir hadn't closed the hatch.

"Sorry, man! The battle is too fierce! Vladimir apologized as he cautiously reached out and closed the hatch, and at the moment when the hatch was about to close, he glanced ahead through the gap, and then exclaimed:

"Tanks! Attention Tiger King! ”

At this time, Zhang Huangxin also saw a Tiger King slowly driving out from the other end of the street, its turret was slowly turning, and a few seconds later, a flame erupted from the barrel of the black hole.

This bullet hit quickly and accurately, directly smashing the anti-aircraft machine gun above Vladimir's head into pieces, and the various parts and shrednel flying sideways knocked the turret into a clang, almost scaring Zhang Huangxin and them.

"Ruler hundred, ready, put!"

Zhang Huangxin's movements were not slow, just as Xie Miao had just loaded a cannonball, he shot it quickly, and it was very accurate. The cannonball hit the front of the King Tiger's car, and after the explosion, it created a large cloud of smoke that completely covered the King Tiger.

"Armor-piercing bullets! Homosexuals! "Zhang Huangxin is almost jumping to his feet, Nima, how can a grenade penetrate the front of the Tiger King's car, isn't this fatal.

"Sorry, sorry, get used to it!" After all, Semyon is not a professional loader, and it is not easy to get started with this job in such a short time. He quickly removed an armor-piercing bullet from the rack and thrust the chamber hard.

"Ready!" He shouted.

Zhang Huangxin fired almost as soon as he spoke, and the cannonball once again accurately hit the front of the Tiger King's car.

Zhang Huangxin shouted excitedly: "Full score!" ”

But immediately Boris's cold water was poured in the earphones: "Don't be too happy, the Tiger King is not so easy to deal with!" ”

Sure enough, when the smoke cleared, Zhang Huangxin saw through the scope that there was no more damage to the front of the Tiger King except for a small hole. Then Boris shouted again: "Use the armor-piercing bullet on the far right of the bullet rack, that one can get the Tiger King!" ”

Semyon hurriedly touched the far right side of the bullet rack, and soon pulled out a cold and shining armor-piercing bullet, compared with the ordinary armor-piercing bullet, the warhead of this armor-piercing bullet was painted golden, and it looked very tall and golden.

"Only four?" Semyon was a little surprised.

"It's good to have four, and the average car group doesn't have one, this is a baby!" Boris emphatically emphasized it again.

Xie Miao cautiously stuffed this golden armor-piercing bullet into the barrel of the cannon, and this time even Zhang Huangxin became cautious, and did not fire it immediately, but took a careful aim.

At the same time, the Tiger King on the opposite side was not idle, and it fired another shot, but it still did not succeed under Boris's coquettish move.

"Keep it straight, stay steady!" Zhang Huangxin commanded.

It's not that he didn't have good marksmanship, but that the fire control back then was extremely rudimentary, and the tank did a little maneuvering, and the shells were about to hit Mars. The driver must cooperate carefully with the gunner, if these two do not cooperate well, it is really a blind fight.

Boris opted for a short stop, he flicked the brakes, slowed the car down, and just as he was coming to a stop, Zhang Huangxin opened fire.

The golden bullet effortlessly pierced through the armor of the bow of the King Tiger, and you could see a small cloud of smoke rising from the deck, and when the smoke cleared, a small thumb-sized hole was drilled into the bow of the King Tiger. Don't underestimate this hole, it's small, but it completely penetrates the armor plate.

"Success?"

Boris replied: "I don't know! It looks like it's dead. ”

But the Tiger King was immediately told that this conclusion was made too soon, and a few seconds later, the Tiger King's turret shook twice, and then fired another shot at the T-34.

"Damn it!" Boris quickly released the brakes, and the T-34 accelerated sharply, causing the tracks to make a screeching sound of metal rubbing.

"This cannonball doesn't work!" Zhang Huangxin complained.

However, Boris knew that it was not that the shells did not work, but that the armor-piercing shells had after-effect problems. Because the armor of the Tiger King is still relatively thick, basically the best armor-piercing bullets issued by the D-85 are just enough to penetrate it. After penetrating the armor, the jet of the armor-piercing projectile is basically consumed, and naturally it cannot effectively kill the personnel inside the vehicle. This has also caused a phenomenon that after many tiger kings are pierced by armor-piercing bullets, as long as the part hit is not too fatal, they are generally able to continue fighting.

In fact, this situation is not unique to the King Tiger, in 1942, a considerable number of T-34s and T-35s were also shot through several times, but each time it was not fatal, and sometimes even the crew members could continue to fight despite the damage. At most, after the battle is over, go to the maintenance battalion to repair it, nail the penetrated armor into a wooden wedge to plug the hole, and then continue the battle, usually after the battle is over, the major repair will be carried out.

Boris had several encounters, his car had been shot through an unknown number of times, and on one occasion it had even been sliced off by shrapnel, but as long as it wasn't fatal, they would continue to fight. So he calmly ordered Zhang Huangxin: "Stop talking nonsense, keep fighting!" ”

Of course, he didn't stop the movements of his own hands, and turned into an alley again, so as to prevent the entire group from being blown up by the tiger king and giant rats that were caught in the front and rear. However, although they are lucky to "survive the tiger's mouth", their condition is still not good, or worse, they are giant rats and tiger kings, and they are really just a small T-34, and everyone is not an order of magnitude at all. And what's worse, it's a dead end!

"Holy!"

Even the experienced Boris burst into foul language, there was indeed no road ahead, and a seven-story building would block the way.

Zhang Huangxin asked, "Can you hit it?" ”

"Enough!" Boris took a closer look at the building and said in frustration: "This house is too high, I'm afraid it will collapse if it hits us, and it will bury us alive!" ”

"What then?"

Boris looked at the buildings on both sides of the alley again, and shook his head again, this area is the kind of tall brick and concrete structure houses, this kind of house as long as the load-bearing wall on the first floor falls, it will collapse directly, and if it is forced to hit it, it will only be buried alive.

"Reverse." Boris smiled bitterly, their luck today is really bad, every time they just take a little turnaround, God will deliberately arrange a bunch of strong enemies for them. "When we get to the mouth of the alley, we will speed up and rush over, and we should be able to dodge the enemy's attack!"

It's just that even Boris himself doesn't believe in this statement, and if there is no problem with their ears, there is a giant rat on the left hand side and a tiger king on the right hand side. Either of these two can easily blow them up.

"Attention, attention, parking!"

Vladimir, who got out of the car to command, cautiously climbed to the corner of the street, poked his head out and looked left and right, and then the gunfire rang out, and the machine-gun bullets fired from the left and right directions knocked his place into smoke and dust. Vlakill almost crawled back on his feet.

"The Germans are on the streets, the turrets on both sides are aimed at our side, and their infantry seems to be making a detour!"

Well, this is terrible bad news, which means that even if they don't rush out, they will be a dead end!

There is very little time left for Zhang Huangxin and his friends to think, or there is no time for them to think at all. Because the German devils had already occupied the seven-story building behind them, and had already begun to greet them with long guns and short cannons.

"Rush forward! We have no choice! ”

When a rocket grazed the fender of the T-34, Zhang Huangxin made up his mind. In fact, Boris also knew that they could only advance, and he shouted: "Comrades, hold on!" We're moving forward! ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Huangxin felt that the tank under his feet was trembling, like a lion that had gathered strength and was ready to pounce on its prey. A minute later, the T-34 rushed out, and it ran so fast that it rushed to the mouth of the alley in the blink of an eye.

As soon as the T-34 was halfway exposed, the Tiger King on the right hand side fired first, and the armor-piercing shell flew through the gap between the T-34's barrel and the upper armor, and sank into the concrete floor with a whoosh.

Immediately after that, the giant rat on the right side also fired, and it was two rounds in succession, the first 75mm armor-piercing bullet flew off the target and quickly disappeared without a trace, while the 128-mm armor-piercing bullet hit accurately and drilled through the tail of the T-34 turret.

Zhang Huangxin seemed to feel something fly behind him, and then he heard Vlakielmi scream: "I've been shot!" ”

However, he didn't have time to pay attention to Vladimir at all, but quickly reopened his cannon and fired a shot at the Tiger King, using up the second "gold coin shell". This bullet hit quite accurately, and it can even be said to be a miraculous shot, the shell drilled into the barrel of the Tiger King's 88mm main gun, and hit the second armor-piercing shell that the Tiger King had just loaded, and with a muffled sound, the barrel of the Tiger King exploded instantly!

It really exploded, and the barrel of the 88 gun turned into a trumpet flower, and this was just the beginning, and soon the turret of the Tiger King was shocked again, and it was obvious that the ammunition in the turret had exploded. Immediately, a puff of smoke and flames rushed through the hatch on the Tiger King's turret, and then the Tiger King rested.

The Tiger King's driver and radio operator crawled out in confusion, and they were greeted by Zhang Huangxin's strafing fire, and a rain of bullets from the parallel machine guns knocked them to the ground, and after two convulsions, they died of breath.

At this time, Zhang Huangxin could not bother to ask about Vladimir's condition, and at this time Semyon was checking his injuries: "I was shot in the left arm, but the problem is not serious!" ”

The bleeding was quickly stopped, and it was clear that this was not a ruptured artery, and the shrapnel may have pierced the veins of Vladimir's upper limbs, which was not fatal. Even after tying up a tourniquet, Vladimir quickly regained his combat effectiveness.

"Who the hell got shot?" Boris asked.

After some inspection, Zhang Huangxin and Xie Miao found a bullet hole in the tail of the turret, and the 128mm shell-piercing shell easily pierced the turret of the T-34. The armor-piercing shell left two very clear holes in the turret, and it actually passed through the narrow space between Zhang Huangxin, Semyon, Vladimir and the cartridge rack, during which it did not cause any more casualties except for the metal fragments that were brought down, which injured Vladimir. Even tanks are still capable of fighting, and it has to be said that this is a miracle!

"We made it!"

Even Boris thought it was incredible, and with the help of the giant rat's reload, they quickly crossed the street and entered an alley opposite.

"Not only did we succeed, we destroyed a Tiger King!" Zhang Huangxin said proudly.

Boris then remembered that they had indeed destroyed a Tiger King, which I have to say was a miracle of miracles. Anyway, he himself couldn't believe it was true. However, compared with the proud Zhang Huangxin and the faint Boris, Semyon is the most sober and practical one, he asked: "This alley will not still be a dead end, right?" ”

Thank God, this time it was not a dead end, except that at the other end of the alley was clearly an artillery position of the Germans. The German devils on the position were digging out the plough of the artillery in a panic, and then hurriedly turned the gun body to aim the gun at the T-34 that was killing with great momentum.

Zhang Huangxin obviously did not give the enemy much time to adjust, and when the German artillery just turned the gun around, he used a grenade to blow up the enemy with the artillery and the people! This accurate attack even Boris applauded him: "Well done!" ”

"Attention! The monster is following! ”

Just as Boris and Zhang Huangxin were cheering loudly, Vladimir, who was in charge of observing the surrounding situation, brought bad news: the giant rat did not give up the pursuit of them, and even because of the destruction of the Tiger King, the giant rat was completely enraged, and it desperately chased after it, slowly mobilized the clumsy turret, and then opened heavy fire on the T-34.

Vladimir later recalled: "The enemy went berserk and constantly attacked us with grenades and armor-piercing shells, and large holes were cut in the ground and walls around us. But Comrade Boris's driving skills are so good that he is like a slippery loach, and no one wants to catch him! ”

Running over the German positions across the alley, Boris made another emergency turn in the T-34, and the giant rat on the other side of the alley clearly did not want to give up, and instead of trying to cross the narrow alley, it turned in place and chased the T-34 from the parallel street. Presumably because it was sure that the fleeing T-34 would soon be intercepted, it just had to seize the opportunity to go up and make up for a shot.

Zhang Huangxin's movements did attract the attention of the German army, and more and more German reinforcements surrounded them, and Boris was forced to turn around every time he could not drive a few dozen meters, like a fish struggling in a fishing net.

"Damn, there are too many enemies! You can't kill it at all! ”

Not only is it impossible to kill, in fact, many enemies have the ability to hunt the T-34, and Boris can only turn and flee when encountering such a hard idea. He circled around the town several times, but he couldn't get rid of the enemy's encirclement, and to make matters worse, the giant rat chased after him again.

128 mm and 75 mm grenades kept beckoning to the T-34, although because the German gunners were becoming more and more impatient and could not pose much threat for the time being, but the T-34 did not have any way to take the other side, Zhang Huangxin had tried all the ammunition, whether it was armor-piercing, armor-piercing or grenades. Don't even want to rub off the other party's flesh and skin, this is really a tragedy!

After narrowly avoiding the attack of the 128mm armor-piercing bullet again, Zhang Huangxin went crazy: "It's not a way to go on like this!" ”

It's really not a way, because Boris really can't hold on for long, don't think it's easy to drive the T-34, the old-fashioned Soviet-style tank control system is really scum, you have to turn or move forward by manipulating the left and right side joysticks, and this kind of maneuvering is quite laborious, especially if Boris is constantly showing off his position, that burden is even greater. Anyway, don't look at the battle, it's only been ten minutes, Boris is like he was fished out of a pond.

Obviously, Boris's driving state is not sustainable, and as fatigue accumulates, his form will always fall, and at that time, as long as there is a slight hesitation, the two of them will be blown up with the car.

"Stop attacking the guy's frontal armor, there's no point, it's just a waste of shells," Boris breathlessly suggested: "Attack its running gear, just let it stop!" ”

This suggestion is very reasonable, but it is difficult to say whether Zhang Huangxin can do it. After all, he is just a halfway monk gunner, and his skills are very trendy, and the previous results are watery: first of all, the distance of street battles is relatively close, for example, most of the previous battles are concentrated within 100 meters, so the hit rate of such a distance is naturally high; Secondly, someone's luck is quite good, just take the bullet that destroyed the Tiger King, it can only be said that his character exploded, not that his artillery skills are too good.

All in all, Zhang Huangxin's artillery skills are problematic, and it is not so easy to attack the giant rat's tracks or walking gear. Boris had tried to go around the side of the giant rat before, but he couldn't do it at all, the street fighting greatly limited Boris, and the increasing German interference around him also forced him to give up every time he went around halfway.

Therefore, for Zhang Huangxin, there is only one chance to attack the giant rat's tracks, and that is when he is facing head-on. At that time, the surface of the track was very small, and only a little bit of the track was exposed from the frontal hit, and the requirements for gunnery were quite high. As mentioned earlier, Zhang Huangxin's artillery skills are problematic, which means that once Zhang Huangxin misses the target, they may be directly exploded.

Even the most extreme possibility is that Zhang Huangxin hit the giant rat's tracks, forcing it to stop, but this does not mean that it is successful, because the broken track does not mean that the giant rat's turret cannot move, and the giant rat still has a chance to deal with them. So, it's a bit of a gamble!

However, fate did not give Zhang Huangxin and his friends a chance to choose, and the current situation is to either surrender or be killed. As a disciplined Red Army soldier and communist. Party members, they refused to surrender.

"Let's get started!"

Boris took a deep breath and put up the forward gear, and the T-34 drove out of the alley briskly and powerfully, and on the street to its left, the giant rat was already in full swing. Probably they also sensed that the final battle was about to begin.

The T-34 drove out of the alley, its gun pointed at the giant rat on the left, but it was the giant rat that attacked first, and the 75mm armor-piercing shell hit the upper edge of the T-34's turret with a loud bang, thank God it was a ricochet!

Almost at the same time as he was shot, Zhang Huangxin also fired, and the cannonball was also bounced away when it hit the giant rat's face with a loud bang!

"Damn it!" Zhang Huangxin cursed, and the next thing was to depend on their luck.

Boom, the 128-mm gun fired, but at the critical moment, Boris stepped on the accelerator again, and the T-34 jumped forward half a meter almost like a small jump, narrowly dodging the bullet!

"Reload!"

Zhang Huangxin's heart was in his throat, and Xie Miao almost reloaded the ammunition at a record-breaking speed, and then with a boom, the shell flew out......

Crunch, the fall off of the track made the driver of the giant rat have to step on the brakes, and taking this opportunity, Boris stepped on the accelerator to the end, he knew that this time the mouse would not be able to catch up, hurry up!

But what Boris didn't expect was that Zhang Huangxin suggested: "This is a good opportunity, go around, we will kill him from behind!" ”

Many years later, Boris recalled that moment and said: "I was also dizzy at that time, and I actually agreed to Comrade Zhang Huangxin's suggestion. Later we learned that it was almost equivalent to death, and the armor of the mouse tank was too thick...... We circled the tail of the rat tank and did another start-up bombardment. Thank you Lady Luck for being on our side twice that day! (To be continued.) )
