On the Siberian plains at night, the rugged hills are undulating, and the convoys under the control of the lights walk on the potholed meadows.

Half an hour later, the convoy left the meadow, turned into a bumpy road, and continued for a few kilometres.

In front, there is a town that has basically been turned into ruins, and on the other side of the town, there are railroad tracks that have been torn off by the explosion, and huge craters dozens of widths have cut off the railway and blown up the station in the town.

The convoy stopped two kilometers away, and the investigators began to scout the town.

Armed reconnaissance vehicles quietly approached the town, and infrared detectors scanned every corner of the town, as well as every place inside and outside the town.

A few minutes later, the armed reconnaissance vehicle left the town and headed west along the road with a message of safety to the convoy behind.

This material transfer station, which was a very important material transfer for the Soviet army two days ago, has now been exhausted, and a large number of Soviet troops around it have all withdrawn westward to Krasnoyarsk.

On the 010 tank, Commander Ma Yuhao led the team into the town, and at the same time reported the latest situation to the command of the third theater: "We entered the small town of Ilansky as planned and did not encounter the enemy. ”

The command of the 3rd theater of operations also quickly sent an order: "According to the original plan, hold the town, the counteroffensive units of the Soviet army have already set out from Krasnoyarsk." ”

On the 010 tank, Ma Yuhao received the latest satellite picture information, and on the satellite pictures at night, you can see a large number of Soviet troops, approaching the small town of Ilansky.

"Cars, set up defenses, our task is to hold the town and not let an enemy pass through this town." Ma Yuhao commanded in the troop channel.

The troops of the operation, began to carry out defensive arrangements, hiding their vehicles and tanks as much as possible in the night of the ruins, waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

Half an hour later, the armed reconnaissance vehicles that had come out of the front began to retreat and sent the latest report on the enemy situation.

A large number of Soviet soldiers came to the town in trucks, followed by a large number of tanks, some of which carried artillery.

Although the retreating armed reconnaissance vehicles were far away from the Soviet troops, the reconnaissance drones that were dropped out were following the Soviet troops in the night.

"This army is a bit of a tough one, it's completely different from what we've encountered before." After Ma Yuhao saw the video footage transmitted by the drone, he said to the other two people in the car.

Gunner Liu Jianwei and pilot An Tianhua, on the monitor in front of the two, also played the picture transmitted by the drone, Liu Jianwei said first: "There are some differences, the mental outlook is completely different from many Soviet troops, and the heroic and high-spirited ones are definitely not second-rate troops composed of those people." ”

"When marching, it can be so neat, the distance of supplies, weapons, tanks, and vehicles is very reasonable, it is indeed an extraordinary Soviet army." An Tianhua also said:

"It seems that this is a hundred battles, it should be the elite of the Soviet Union pulled from the Western Front battlefield, the size is almost a division, and it is not equipped with a T-74 tank, it is an IS-2 heavy tank that has never appeared on the Eastern Front."

Ma Yuhao clicked on the intelligence center to search for the data of this type of tank, and soon a detailed description of the IS-2 heavy tank appeared in front of him.

The IS series of tanks is a heavy tank developed by the Soviet Union during World War II, which seems to be similar in appearance to the T-34 tank, but in terms of performance, it is much more advanced than the T-34.

The modified turret steering technology has been used even in modern tanks.

This tank was also named after Stalin.

The emergence of the IS-2 heavy tank was to suppress the German Tiger tank from the very beginning, and the appearance of this tank did surpass the German Tiger in terms of firepower, which made the Germans develop the King Tiger tank.

The armament uses a 122 mm cannon of 43 times diameter, which can fire tracer armor-piercing shells and anti-personnel blast grenades. Vertical armor-piercing with a thickness of 1000 mm at a distance of 160 meters using tracer armor-piercing shells.

The frontal armor protection capability of the Apocalypse tank is equivalent to 960 mm of homogeneous armor, and the equivalent protection against detachment is more than 500 mm, not to mention the tanks of World War II, even if it is the actual advanced third-generation tanks of the 21st, they have almost no ability to penetrate the frontal armor of the Apocalypse tank.

However, the strength and combat capability of the tank do not depend entirely on the performance of the tank, but on what kind of ability the people who use the tank have.

How to use the tank and how to give full play to the strongest combat capability of the tank is the real performance of the tank in actual combat.

Just when Ma Yuhao and others were observing the enemy, the Soviet troops on the march suddenly stopped, and then set up large-caliber mortars and launched an artillery bombardment of the town.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

……

Successive explosions exploded around the town, and some shells landed inside the town.

Ma Yuhao was very sure that the Soviets certainly did not find themselves and others, and this kind of purposeless shelling was more like a test of firepower.

This made Ma Yuhao once again clearly realize that the Soviet troops on the opposite side were definitely not an ordinary army, and they were very likely to be the real main force of the Soviet army.

A large number of shells fell, and on the picture of the drone, you can see the Soviet troops on the march, jumping out of the trucks, and the trucks are out of the way, walking in front of the tanks, lining up in an offensive tactical formation under the shelling, approaching the town.

This kind of move directly means that the original idea of wanting to ambush in the town has been shattered.

"Old horses, these Soviet cubs, be too careful." The other tank commander on the side sent a message to Ma Yuhao.

"Originally, we wanted to give the opponent a dismount, a sneak attack, and a more effective kill to the enemy, since the enemy does not cooperate, it doesn't matter." Ma Yuhao did not have the idea of being disappointed, this battle was not a sneak attack, but a head-on confrontation.

Ma Yuhao immediately shouted in the communication channel: "Brothers, since the Soviets have put on a posture, then we will pay tribute to them, release smoke bombs, and launch an all-out attack." ”

In the town, tanks and armored vehicles lurking in the town have taken action.

When an IS-2 heavy tank of the Soviet Union was about to enter the town, a precise shell landed on the turret of the IS-2 heavy tank, and the huge turret was instantly penetrated, and the shell that entered the tank exploded.

In the firelight, the detonated tank made another loud noise, and the huge turret was lifted three or four meters away from the roadside.

This cannon kicked off the most fierce battle.
