Chapter Twenty-Seven: Tanks Attack!

Our sharp attack caught the attention of the German tank commander, and several German tanks that were close to each other turned their heads, and I looked at the black muzzles with a numb scalp. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Enemy shelling!"

A few shells hit the earthen wall in front of us, splashing a large amount of debris. A shell hit our observation hole, and we were blind.

The chicken opened the hatch of the turret and ventured out of the tank, the observation hole had to be cleared, or we would be all finished. Fortunately, the observation hole was not blocked, and we were able to regain our vision after cleaning up the broken glass.

Now that it has been exposed, we are no longer hiding. The KV-2 tank drove straight out of the bunker and went straight to the German tank. The Su-122 is not suitable for assault assault, so it is still risky to stay in place and shoot black artillery.

The oppressive feeling of the KV-2's massive size forced the German tanks to begin to retreat, and they recognized this toilet tank. Jiang Yitao and others hit a German No. 3 tank directly with full horsepower, black smoke came out of the tail of the KV-2, it raised the body high, and pressed it directly, the terrifying weight of the KV-2 directly flattened the No. 3 tank, and blood flowed out of the cracks of scrap iron.

"Bang"

I aimed at a stunned German tank and opened fire, the shell pierced its front, and the fire quickly erupted.

Just as we were having a good time, a Stuka flew silently over us, and the Grim Reaper smiled at us.

"Woo" "Boom"

A bomb hit the tail of the KV-2, and flames burst out instantly. In my concern, the hatch of the tank opened, and Jiang Yitao was the first to come down, followed by Wang Li, and Deng Tao also came out. I breathed a sigh of relief, but luckily there were no casualties.

"Cover them!"

We opened fire to attract the attention of the Germans and create an opportunity for Jiang Yitao and others to return to the defensive line.

"Boom"

Like an eruption of a volcano, the heavy turret of the KV-2 flew and the ammunition rack was detonated. Lin Feng, who has not yet come out, stayed in Kursk forever.

The air wave of the explosion knocked Jiang Yitao and others to the ground, but fortunately, no one was killed. We beat the Su-122 to the point that the barrel was hot, and did our best to attract firepower, Jiang Yitao and others supported each other and returned to the defense line with the response of the infantry brothers.

Soviet tanks finally stormed the German tank ranks, and a large number of T34-76 tanks began to divide the German tank group. German tanks began to retreat, preventing encirclement.

The Tiger and Ferdinand tanks in the distance of the German army began to exert their might, accurately hitting the advancing Soviet tanks, basically one shot at a time. Although the scene seemed to be in a critical situation for the German army, in fact the Soviet army suffered a heavy loss.

Due to the fact that the German Tiger and Ferdinand positions were too far away and exceeded the attack range of the T-34 tanks, the Soviets could only be beaten passively. A small number of Soviet tanks were ready to separate and close the distance from the German tanks in the rear, and the German tanks No. 3 and No. 4, which were caught in a melee, desperately entangled, prevented the division of Soviet troops. The melee of the tank group made us afraid to open fire, for fear of accidentally injuring friendly troops, so we had to do it in a hurry.

The German infantry slowly approached the battle group, and the German soldiers carrying iron-fisted anti-tank rockets attacked, and the situation of the Soviet tank group became more and more critical.

It seems that the Soviet command vehicles gave the order to retreat, and some T-34 tanks began to retreat, and the poor communication situation of the Soviet tanks caused the Soviet troops to throw themselves into disarray. Some tanks are attacking, some tanks are turning back, and from time to time there are oolongs of collisions between Soviet tanks.

The Germans, of course, would not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to eat dozens of Soviet tanks in a row. The battle situation in the sky gradually became clear, and the Soviet fighter group could not bear it, and from time to time fighters crashed headlong into the battlefield with thick smoke, causing even greater chaos.

The Soviet tank divisions were forced to resort to tail breakers, leaving some of the damaged tanks behind and the rest of the battlefield withdrawing. At the same time, the Soviets lost the ground in the sky, but fortunately, the German planes needed to go back to replenish fuel and ammunition after a long and fierce air battle, otherwise our situation would be even more dangerous.

The Soviet commander Zhukov clearly knew that the German attack in the early stage could not be resisted, so his tactic was to use a deep enough defensive depth to wear down the momentum of the German attack, and then use superior forces to counterattack after the German army lost its strength.

The Soviet troops in the first line of defense began to retreat according to the plan, and the process of retreat was a severe test, and if it was not grasped well, the planned retreat of the Soviet army could turn into a major rout.

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

For the smooth running of the plan, the Soviet artillery ventured into fire. The shells hit the place where the Soviet troops were withdrawn, blocking the pursuit of the German troops.

Jiang Yitao and others sat on the body of the Su-122, and our speed reached the second line of defense one step ahead of the infantry. After arriving at the second line of defense, we learned that the Germans had opened a gap in the second line of defense and forcibly crossed the Pena River, forming a salient on the north and south sides, and the Germans cut off the connection.

The Germans we were facing did not continue the offensive, they were actually just covering the actions of the Germans in the direction of the main attack, and now that the goal had been achieved, they stopped the offensive. This gives us a rare respite.

"Do you think we're going to retreat?" Jiang Yitao and I lay on the tank and enjoyed our leisure time after dinner.

"Probably not, we still have to continue to stop the Germans", I looked at my teammates who were looking for something to do, and I was very relieved, the death of the team members during the day could no longer have a big impact on them, this is the performance of mature veterans.

"Why don't we find an opportunity to send Zhao Xue, Wang Li and a few recruits to the rear?" Jiang Yitao didn't want the team that had finally had a bit of a fight to be disabled.

"No, we can still take care of each other when we are together, and after separation, I am afraid that they will be incorporated into the infantry and become cannon fodder"

"That's right, you always think more comprehensively than me, this captain should actually be you" Jiang Yitao took out a cigarette and lit it, and said sincerely.

"I can't, so far you are doing a good job, at least they have a closer relationship with you than to me" I took Jiang Yitao's cigarette case and lit one for myself.

...................................................................

The next day, the Germans attacked again, and the Soviets received new orders, and as I expected, the Soviets were ordered to hold the second line of defense.

Luckily, the weather was gloomy and windy, and it looked like a heavy rain was coming. The German planes did not come to us today to "lay eggs", which relieved a lot of pressure on the Soviet troops.

The Germans were still the same as before, first preparing artillery fire, then tanks covering the infantry charge. The fortifications built by the Soviets played an important role, and the German artillery fire played little role.

The Soviet army learned the lesson of the first line of defense, prepared a large amount of anti-tank fire on the defense line, and even appeared the latest anti-tank guns and anti-tank grenades of the Soviet army.

In order not to be hit, the German tanks could only maintain a high speed of movement, which caused the accuracy of their guns to plummet, and the greatest threat to the Soviet troops was the vehicle-mounted machine guns on the tanks.

The body of the Su-122 was too short and the ballistics was too low, and in order to prevent hitting the Soviet troops in our own line, we left the tank and joined the guards of the line.

"Bang"

The German machine gun was silent, and my sniper rifle was finally opened, and I seemed to feel its grievances after being hidden in the snow for so long. The soldiers operating the machine guns on the German tanks were my best targets, and after a few attacks the Germans retracted the tanks and stopped coming out.

The other team members also poked their heads out cautiously and fired indiscriminately with the Type 38 rifles I had given, and the unique snapping sound echoed in the long line of defense.
