Chapter 638: 638 Scar
The gun commander and the loader did not escape, and the whole tank turned into a huge fireball, and it was estimated that it would not be long before the ammunition and fuel in the burning Leopard tank would explode, so the commander of the No. 2 car did not dare to turn back, and even fled to the bushes not far away.
The commander of car No. 2 crawled into the bushes, his tank was burned and exploded violently, and huge smoke gushed out from the body of the tank, obscuring everyone's view, looking like the flames of hell.
Within a few seconds, the Soviet Stalin tank that had been pierced by the German tank also exploded, and the turret of the Stalin tank was lifted up and landed in the open space not far away. At this time, the Stalin tank with a black five-pointed star hiding in the shadows slowly drove out of the corner.
This is a Soviet tank sniper group, that is, an evolution developed after the style of an infantry sniper group. The Soviets formed several small detachments with a small number of Stalin tanks to hunt German tanks, similar to the German sniper teams, hoping to destroy more German armored targets.
Apparently they succeeded this time, and if it weren't for the last-minute Stalin's greedy rampage, then this close battle could definitely be said to be a perfect tank ambush. Like the tanks of Nazi Germany in the past, this style of play is actually a classic defensive counterattack tactic of armored forces.
To be honest, this tactic is actually very difficult to deal with, and the Soviet Union and the United States have no particularly good way to deal with this tactic of the German armored forces in another time and space, and in the end they can only use numerical superiority to offset this hit-and-run tactic. In view of the fact that the German tanks in another time and space had a certain advantage in quality, at least in terms of artillery and armor, countless classic tank battles were fought.
The Stalin tank moved slowly, the wheels pressed against the wide tracks, and little by little it moved its massive body forward. This tank took the theory of inclined armor to the extreme, including the design of inclined armor on both sides and at the back, which made the defense level of Stalin's tank on every side not to be underestimated.
Combined with the slender and powerful 122 mm gun, this tank at least reached the level of German tanks in terms of armor and firepower, and now that technology has not opened up the gap between the times, this gives the Soviet armored forces a piece of equipment that at least looks like a German tank.
The commander of tank No. 2 squatted in the bushes not far away, and he didn't dare to breathe, only daring to stare at the approaching Soviet tank in the gaps in the bushes. He had never seen such a Soviet tank, and looking at the thickness of the barrel of the gun, he could tell that the main gun of this Soviet tank was larger than the 88 mm caliber cannon of the German tank.
100 mm guns, or 120 mm? He guessed in his mind repeatedly, and the Soviet tank stopped not far from the flames of the burning German Leopard tank, and the wreckage of the tank after the ammunition was detonated was not dangerous, although it would still burn, there was no possibility of another explosion.
After a "squeak" with a piercing sound, the turret hatch of the Soviet tank was pushed open from the inside, and a man with a huge scar on his face poked his head out of the tank turret with an expressionless face, staring coldly at the burning tank, as if waiting for the German tank with only a steel structure left to burn out.
"It seems that the Germans are not immortal either. Scarface said this inexplicably, and then reached out and stroked it lightly on the scar, sucking it with his nostrils, and seemed to be very nostalgic for the burnt smell after burning: "As long as it is immortal, it is good, very good......"
There was another sentence that no one heard, and he muttered something in his mouth, but no sound came out: "Wren, I thought the Germans were monsters like you, and they couldn't be killed! When are you coming out, let me kill them, so that I can complete that never-ending killing training?"
He was also a trainee at the Wolf Knight Academy, but compared to the lucky Wren, he took a different path. This path is the real path that the Wolf Knight Academy was ready to let them take back then, give up their feelings and give up their humanity, and finally become a terrible real warrior, obey a qiē order, take killing and destruction as their all, and survive cruelly.
The commander of tank No. 2 lay down in the bushes, too frightened to make any moves, knowing that he still had a pistol at his waist, at this time, the possibility of success was very high in sneaking up on the Soviet commander, but he just didn't dare to move his body, because there seemed to be a voice in his head that reminded him again and again that if he moved, he would die.
With the roar of the rumbling engine, the Soviet tank finally went away, and the commander of the No. 2 tank, who was lying behind the bushes, only noticed that his sweat had soaked his military uniform, and his legs had long been numb to the point of losing consciousness because of the poor position.
......
"The meeting of the battalion headquarters, to which all tank commanders had to go, heard that something had happened in the area north of Brovare. A signal soldier parked his motorcycle next to a German Tiger tank and shouted: "Commanders of all tanks! ”
Although Wren is taller, he is still not strong, and he is holding a bucket to help Bowman and Alice clean the engine compartment of the tank. Most of these soldiers have a skill and some mechanical expertise.
Tanks, like airplanes and warships, need to be carefully cared for, just as guns are very important to infantry, tanks are the weapons of tank crews, if you are lazy in maintenance and cleaning, it will lie down in the middle of the battle, and you will pay a heavy price.
"In such a hurry?" As the main force of Army Group G and the tank commander of the 502nd Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion of the 3rd SS Panzer Division, Wren has not participated in any large-scale battles in recent times, and destroyed a T-26 tank of the Soviet reconnaissance unit during another routine patrol on the front line, and the rest of the time he has not found anything.
Now the most famous on the Eastern Front is Count Black Tulip, the little king of dog fighting in the Air Force, Hartman. This guy had achieved his 110th enemy aircraft shot down a few days earlier and became the representative of the Luftwaffe's sought-after fighter unit. I heard that the Air Force deliberately let him fly back to the outskirts of Warsaw, where he accepted the promotion of Führer Accardo in the Wolf's Lair to become a fighter lieutenant pilot.
The tank didn't have to drive back to the battalion headquarters, and it wasn't too far away, so Wren put the bucket on the side of the tank, picked up his MP-44 assault rifle, which almost never left him, and walked to the battalion headquarters not far away.
Climbing over the fence that no one cared for, passing by the small house that was completely destroyed by shells, stepping on gravel and bullet casings, Wren and the commanders of several tanks under his command walked to the battalion headquarters without much effort, and seeing the battalion commander's face, Wren couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, because he hadn't seen such an ugly expression on the battalion commander's face for a long time.
Soon Rennes and the others knew how serious things were, and the battalion commander pointed to the map and began to describe the recent battles: "There have been three battles north of Brovare, here, and here. ”
"In the first battle, we lost 25 soldiers, the Soviets advanced a distance of 1 kilometer, our armored forces counterattacked, recaptured positions, and lost 1 tank. The battalion commander introduced the first battle, but it didn't sound like anything special.
Everyone was silent, waiting for the battalion commander to continue to introduce him, and sure enough, the situation of the second battle made many people frown: "The second battle took place near a small village on the northern outskirts of Brovare, 14 of our troops were killed, and then two Leopard tank crews with rich combat experience were ordered to rush to the accident site to check the battle situation, and they were completely wiped out by Soviet tanks. ”
"The most recent exchange of fire took place in the central area of Brovare, where a grenadier division next door was attacked, and a No. 3 assault gun and a No. 4 assault gun were destroyed, about 19 kilometres from us. The battalion commander ignored the chaotic discussion below, and told the last few battles in one breath.
"5 tanks and armored vehicles of various kinds have been destroyed, and the other party is obviously coming for our armored forces!" Marcus heard the news, and no longer smiled, and said to Wren beside him: "It seems that they are indeed equipped with a tank that can deal with us." ”
"That's right!" the battalion commander took out a picture of a drawing, and the actual photo was obviously not available yet. But this three-view is also very intuitive: "This tank, which our engineers call the Stalin tank, is equipped with a 122 mm gun, and based on the wreckage of a Stalin tank obtained in the field, we think it can penetrate the frontal armor of an improved version of the Leopard tank at a distance of 500 to 1,000 meters." ”
"Oh my God, so our Tiger tank is not very safe, at a distance of about 500 meters, it may have to be penetrated, right?" Marcus stared at the three-sided picture of the tank, as well as a photo of the destroyed Stalin tank, and said a little depressed. Previously, the Tiger was an absolutely invincible superweapon, but now it looks like the opponent finally has the means to deal with it.
