Chapter 36: Ivan the Hero
"Linus! Is my support you? Your mission is simple, take out those gunners! So that my tank can break through this anti-tank position without any problems. Henry laughed, pointing to the anti-tank guns in the distance.
"It's easy!" Licorice nodded and didn't say anything more after taking the task, and went straight to find a suitable sniper point, Licorice, who was originally recuperating in the rear, immediately put forward a request to return to the front line after the injury was healed, and the above did not hesitate, now is the time when the combat power is urgently needed, and the licorice is directly sent to support Henry.
Finding a hidden place to hide, Licorice observed the anti-tank positions that Henry had pointed out to him, a total of twenty-six anti-tank guns, and several hidden machine-gun pillboxes, these enemies seemed to have known that the Germans would pass through here, and they were so well arranged. The armored troops under Henry suppressed by these anti-tank guns could not advance smoothly, although they could rush strongly, but the casualties were too great, and the air force currently had more and more important tasks for the time being, and the infantry could not charge because of the suppression of those pillboxes, so they could only send snipers to support.
But all this is not difficult for licorice, he only needs to shoot the gun commander who controls the anti-tank gun from 900 meters away, although these anti-tank guns have gun shields, but such a large window for aiming and observation is easy for snipers to shoot the gun commander, and the gun shield is also very low, as long as the person stands up, the upper body will inevitably be exposed, and the position of the shells is not within the protection of the gun shield, licorice only needs to kill those loaders, The frequency of fire for an anti-tank gun was also a great blow.
Licorice quietly aimed at the window of an anti-tank gun through the scope, the gun commander was adjusting the muzzle pointing, wanting to aim at a German tank in front of him on the left, licorice aimed at him through the window, pulled the trigger, two seconds later the gun commander's head was floating with blood and fell back, Licorice quickly shifted his position after firing the gun, he didn't want to be set on fire by a bunch of artillery, although others could not find themselves in a short period of time, But the lessons he had learned so many times before had made him deeply understand how important it was to shoot and change places as stated in the sniper manual.
Ten seconds later, in a new place, Licorice continued to aim at the anti-tank gun just now, aimed at the person who had just taken over through the window of the gun shield, and killed it with one shot again, changed places, aimed and shot, changed places again, and soon, Licorice killed nearly twenty soldiers in charge of anti-tank guns, and the obvious weakening of the enemy's anti-tank fire also gave the armored troops a chance. Henry commanded his armored troops to advance all the way, and finally occupied the place after a fierce battle, but Licorice did not have time to say a few words to Henry after the complete mission, and quickly rushed to the next battlefield to join John.
The warm sunshine and the green lawn, Chen Hao is sitting on the chair with a satisfied face basking in the sun, reaching out from time to time to pick up the drink on the small round table next to him and take two sips, and the small life is extremely comfortable. After taking two sips of the drink and putting the cup down, Chen Hao picked up a document on the table and watched it intently.
"Hero of the Soviet Army, ace tank crew, commander, Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov, male, joined the Guards Tank Battalion in July 39, has been performing well since joining the army, and has been deeply appreciated by his superiors. XX participated in XX action and performed well. Destroy a tank at XX, destroy a tank at XX, ............ at XX So far, the crew's record has been to destroy seven tanks, more than 30 anti-tank guns, and 22 other vehicles. ”
"Hehe, the ace tank crew of the Soviet army, I seem to have seen the biggest joke in history." Chen Hao smiled and muttered to himself.
……
"Ulla! Come on! For victory! "On the battlefield filled with gunpowder fire, more than 70 T34 tanks were launching a group charge against the German army, and some tanks were constantly destroyed, and some shells were empty on the ground, blowing up craters one after another, dusty and billowing waves.
The T34 at the front of this group of tanks is the guy who led the charge with them, originally the commander here planned to play a little more conservative, who knew that the hero of the Soviet army, the ace commander Ivan directly opened the hatch and yelled a few words and took dozens of other tanks to start a victorious charge, and the Soviet tanks did not have a radio, and the communication was all by roaring, you shouted, we will follow you, as for the order of the commander behind? I'm sorry, it's too far away to be heard, and this is a flammable people in the first place.
Inside the car, Ivan looked fanatical, which is commonly known as the second middle school criminal, otherwise he would not have incited everyone to charge with him.
"Andrei (the driver) accelerates, faster, faster! Come on! Ulla! Ivan observed the situation through the captain's observation window while directing the other occupants of the car.
"Anton (loader), load a high-explosive shell! Matvey, wait a moment to shoot a high-explosive projectile on the ground in front of us, and the cannon right in front of us is aiming at us! It is impossible for our current speed-moving shots to hit them, and we can only use the smoke and dust from high-explosive shells to block their firing range. Ivan quickly gave the order, and he also had a headache, he never expected that the German army would be equipped with a short-barreled 88 gun that could penetrate the T34 armor at the same time as the war.
"Quick! Anton, speed up again! The anti-tank gun in front left is aimed at us! Ivan yelled.
"Captain, the speed of the car has reached the limit! We can't reach the top speed of the terrain now. Andrei replied sweating profusely, he had done his best, trying to control the stability of the car and avoid the enemy's attack, but while they were talking, the German anti-tank gun opened fire, and a shell grazed their body and hit the ground, splashing the earth all over the sky.
"We were again targeted by the anti-tank gun directly in front, Andrey, listen to my order in a moment, turn the body to the right, and immediately return the direction to the position!" Ivan commanded again.
"Understood!" Andrei responded.
Ivan tried his best to observe the anti-tank gun through the small commander's observation device, and calculated when he would open fire, Ivan was very nervous now, this angle, with the caliber and penetration depth of the gun, the current distance would definitely be able to penetrate himself, if he couldn't grasp the timing of the dodge, being destroyed would be the ultimate fate.
Ivan watched the loader of the cannon complete the action of reloading and retreating to the side, and the action of the gun commander adjusting the action of the gun to shoot Zhu Yuan, silently thinking about the time in his heart, and suddenly shouted: "Dodge! ”
Andrei, who had been waiting for the order, reacted instantly, slammed the direction to the right, and the body of the T34 tank quickly turned sideways, and at the same time, the anti-tank gun fired, and an armor-piercing shell hit the first armor of the T34 tank in an instant with the firelight, and jumped out without the slightest stop under the artificially increased angle of inclination, and flew to the right side of the tank, which happened to hit the left track of a T34 tank that followed closely, After being interrupted by the left track, due to the effect of inertia, the tank quickly made a left turn, completely exposing the large side of its right side to the enemy's fire, and then was hit by an armor-piercing shell from the enemy who seized the opportunity, and the violent explosion sound accompanied by fire and smoke resounded through Ivan's right rear, which was really a disaster.
After dodging this armor-piercing bullet, Andrei quickly turned the body and continued to charge, although the original more than 70 tanks now only nearly 40 rushed to the German position, but there is no doubt that this is a great victory for the Soviet army, and it is one of the very few battles that the Soviet army has won so far since the beginning of this war.
