Chapter 950 951 Cold gaze
A terrifying 122 mm armor-piercing bullet grazed the top of the turret of Wren's King Tiger tank, and the scorching jet melted the machine gun mounts on the turret. Obviously, the Soviets also knew the truth that taking advantage of your illness would kill you, and seeing that Rennes's King Tiger tank did not continue to move, they immediately concentrated their firepower to take out another hot potato.
So after the Rennes crew lost power, they were attacked more than three times as much in an instant. Large and small shells fell around this King Tiger tank, and some of them passed by without danger.
Suddenly, an armor-piercing projectile of 76 mm caliber hit the turret of the King Tiger tank directly, then turned at a right angle to the armor and flew directly into the sky. This shell from the T-34 tank failed to penetrate the front armor of the Rennes tank, and compared to the powerful blow of the 122 mm caliber gun of the Stalin tank, the T-34 can be called an itch.
This 76 mm caliber shell hit the King Tiger tank, and it did not have the effect of breaking down and destroying, but it made the engine of the King Tiger tank that had been extinguished roar again with the bang, and the tail exhaust pipe of the No. 113 King Tiger tank emitted a puff of black smoke, and the whole tank fell backwards.
"Honey! I knew you could, I knew you were the best, I loved you, dear!" Bowman was so excited that he almost bowed his head and kissed the joystick next to him, laughing and shouting, looking as crazy as if he had won the lottery.
After Wren finished ordering Bowman, he gave the order to Andre to continue firing: "Keep firing! Find an opportunity to kill as many Soviet tanks as possible! The Tiger tank does not have a lot of ammunition, and the rest depends on our two Tiger Kings!"
Everyone seemed to rejoice at this moment, after all, the Tiger King, as the main force in the battle, was able to recover his momentum, which was equivalent to providing the German army with a slight chance of victory. After all, the German tanks were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, and every tank missing here was a very serious weakening and blow to the German army.
The fact that the Wren crew could return to the battle and return to the battle as a command tank boosted the morale of the German army, and although everyone did not have time to cheer or celebrate during the battle, it could be heard from the voices of everyone gradually calming down, and everyone was slightly relieved at this moment.
This is the role of the ace crew in the battle, and this is the courage that the commander brings to other personnel on the battlefield. As the Reine tank retreated, the Germans fired another barrage of shells, destroying two Soviet Stalin tanks that had just flaunted their might.
"Boom!" Just when all the German crews were relieved that the Rennes crew was out of danger, a shell directly hit the Tiger tank not far behind the Rennes tank, and the power of this blow was incomparable, and you could guess that it was a 122 mm caliber shell by listening to the sound.
"Wren!Tiger 2 was hit! It's burning! Oh my God!" Marcus was positioned further back, and he could see something on the battlefield, as the shell had hit the Tiger and pierced the front armor of the Tiger tank.
So the German Tiger tank burned, and all the people inside should have been killed, because no one saw them climb out of the burning tank. Everyone knew what that meant, and it wouldn't be long before the flaming Tiger would explode, and the people inside wouldn't even be left with their bodies.
It's as the Panzer song says: Even if we die in battle, at least we have a coffin of steel. Most of the armored soldiers ended up in this coffin of steel, at least they had a satisfactory home for themselves. In the brutal war years, this may have been a good ending.
This sudden cannonball knocked the newly restored German momentum back to the point of collapse. The German army, which originally had only five tanks, now has only three of them - even though the German tanks have a rate of fire several times that of the Soviet tanks, the absolute difference in numbers makes the two sides not at the same level of firing intensity.
Although the Germans destroyed three more Soviet T-34 tanks that tried to shorten the distance, the Soviet Red Army still had an overwhelming advantage over the most threatening Stalinist tank. And this advantage is constantly expanding, expanding to the point of despair.
What the Germans didn't know was that the Soviets were not only the dozen tanks in front, but also more tanks were coming out of the woods, and in fact, the Soviets had put more than 60 tanks here. The tanks were desperately crossing the roadbed and rushing towards the German tanks.
Once these Soviet tanks eliminated the Wren and other car crews in front of them, they would have the opportunity to outflank and completely take out the incomplete SS Reich division, and if the Reich division was surrounded and annihilated, then there would be a gap in Guderian's defensive line, a gap that could be fatal.
Just as more and more Soviet tanks were deploying on the battlefield, an armor-piercing shell passed through the tanks of Wren and others from the rear and directly destroyed a long-distance Stalin tank. ”
The other Tiger tank that had been arranged to cover them on the way back finally appeared in time, and Wren's delay and blocking finally had some effect, at least now it seemed that they still had a chance to continue to fight with the Soviets, and there was still a glimmer of hope for victory.
There have been such dangerous times before, and the Soviets will eventually give up the attack because of excessive losses, after all, it is not easy to defeat the main armored forces of the German army head-on, and the Soviets will be a little less confident when facing the German armored forces. And it was this momentary lack of confidence that made many opportunities to win disappear, and also created countless undefeated myths of German ace groups.
"Fire!Destroy the Soviets' Stalin tanks as much as possible!No matter how many T-34s they knock out, they won't retreat!" Marcus shouted in his headset, and then his tank fired a shot, the shell slightly off target, flying dirt on the ground in the middle of the two Stalin's tanks.
André aimed at his target, he aimed the precise scale on the sight of the King Tiger tank at a Stalin's tank that was driving straight away, the front sight stopped at the junction of the turret and the body, and then he pressed the pressure plate for firing at that moment.
A tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectile flew out of the muzzle of an 88 mm cannon, followed by a thick white smoke, and the huge recoil made the King Tiger tank tremble, but the good shock absorption system filtered out the excess force, and the King Tiger tank continued to retreat in the shaking.
The shell flew over a long distance, eventually hitting the upper end of the front armor plate of the Stalin's tank that was being targeted, and then changed its trajectory slightly, creating a spark and hitting the arc under the turret of the Stalin's tank, and then producing a perfect downward ricochet.
The shell easily pierced the cockpit of the Stalin tank from above, and then mixed with countless metal fragments, rampage through the cramped tank compartment, smashing everything it encountered. With a dense clanging sound, the tank eventually stopped moving and was paralyzed in place.
"Wren! We're running out of shells!" has been with Wren, and the No. 1 Tiger tank in the battalion headquarters from the beginning of the battle to the current one is running out of ammunition, and now this Tiger tank still has more than a dozen armor-piercing shells left, which is obviously not enough to face such a number of Soviet tanks.
"No. 1, you can retreat back at full speed, we'll cover you! You and No. 3 converge and find a way to protect me and Marcus's flanks!" Wren ordered the Tiger tank to speed up its retreat, after all, if it ran out of ammunition and then left, it would be easier to lose its way. Now they only have 4 tanks left, and each tank must play its best to be able to repel this long-planned Soviet attack.
"Don't be idle when you retreat!Contact the battalion headquarters!Let them inform the Imperial Division to speed up the retreat!The enemy looks like they are going to surround them from the flanks and rear!" Of course, Wren has not forgotten the reason for the outbreak of this battle, and he must save the Imperial Division in crisis as much as possible, which is the main purpose of their coming.
"Boom!" a Stalin tank was destroyed by Marcus's King Tiger No. 112, and the force of the explosion caused all the hatches of the tank to twist and open, and dazzling flames burst from inside. The burning black smoke blocked the aiming and firing of the Germans, as well as the view of the nearby Soviets.
Wolf, who had been throwing cold arrows from behind, frowned, and then gave the order to his driver to move on. His Stalin tank began to move slowly, following behind the two Stalin tanks, past the burning smoke, and little by little approaching the German armored forces.
"Wren, Wren, are you going to cover up your own incompetence with a more powerful tank?" Wolf muttered in a hoarse voice, pulling the scar off his face. In such a chaotic battlefield, he didn't seem to have any intention of shrinking his body into the tank, and his exposed half of his body swayed slightly as the tank advanced, and his cold eyes kept staring at the No. 113 King Tiger tank in the distance.
After the update, I hope you enjoy watching it. The battle between Wren and Wolf kicks off, and how it ends, please continue to tune in to the series tomorrow night...... Uh, I'm sorry......
