Chapter 516 - 515 Continues

81_81266 Wren put down the telescope in his hand, his eyes a little cold. From his position, it was clear that the Soviets were attacking the German positions, but he still did not order his tanks to fire back. With such a large-scale infantry attack, it is logically impossible not to arrange more tank cover, and as a result, only one T-26 tank has appeared in the front so far, which exudes a lot of danger.

To put it bluntly, you can tell that there is an ambush at a glance, because the other party's acting skills are too poor. So he radioed the grenadier company that was engaged head-on, and asked them to deal with the T-26 tank that led the charge. And the ambush position here in Rennes continues to remain hidden, waiting for the Soviets to come up with a killer weapon first.

He bet that the Soviet commander on the other side must have been very annoyed, and if the defenders here had not fled first the previous evening, they would not have had to fight so desperately to snatch this place from the Germans.

It is a pity that he has no time to laugh at the Soviet commander on the other side, because from his point of view, the second round of attacks on the Soviets has crushed at least 800 people, and the number of attacking troops has increased by more than 200 people, rather than decreasing. There were nearly 300 routs who had just been driven back to the battlefield, and a full battalion of 500 men newly put into battle.

It seems that this town, marked by the German army Y107, is more important than imagined for the strategic deployment of the Soviets. Thinking of this, Wren became more determined to defend the town - what is the saying?......? Something seems wrong......

Wren was still looking at the stalemate battlefield with cold eyes, and he didn't have the slightest intention of wanting to join. His instincts told him that there would be a large number of tanks in the back of the Soviet troops, and that that was then his chance to really show his talents.

Sure enough, within a few minutes, German reinforcements arrived on the battlefield, and this reinforcement was even stronger than expected, turning out to be a full four Stuka 2 attack aircraft. Four aircraft engines roared over the battlefield, immediately confusing the Soviet soldiers.

A German Stuka 2 skimmed over the Soviet troops, and with its two terrible 20 mm guns, it quickly plowed two deep "ravines" on the ground, which were covered with blood, corpses, and broken limbs of Soviet soldiers. The 20-mm cannon hit a person almost like a wipe, and a single strafing shot turned the Soviet ground forces into a mess.

As soon as the Germans on the ground saw that their reinforcements had arrived in time, they immediately launched a fierce counterattack, inflicting a large number of casualties on the Soviet troops who had just returned to their momentum, although they only killed more than 150 soldiers in total, but it was obvious that the Germans had overwhelmed their opponents from the momentum at this moment and regained their strength.

To Wren's relief, the other three Luftwaffe attack planes did not linger with the Soviet infantry on the front line, but flew into the distance and began to attack the unseen places on the other side of the hills, and even dropped dense bombs and kept strafing.

The experienced Luftwaffe ground support naturally has its own set of methods, and they obviously do not bomb indiscriminately on empty places, and it is obvious that there must be a higher value target on the other side of the hill to attract the attention of these air killers. According to Wren's experience, it is nothing more than an artillery position and a massed tank unit, and either of these two can be said to have solved a lot of trouble for Wren.

After about ten minutes of continuous bombing, probably because of the running out of ammunition, the German planes began to change their positions, three planes flew back to the front of the German positions and began to attack the Soviet Red Army infantry on the ground with their cannons, while another Stuka 2 aircraft with bombs flew into the distance and continued to bomb unseen targets.

As the planes departed, the Soviet forces gradually recovered from the chaos and gathered the already collapsed troops, and the Soviet commanders began to organize even more frantic attacks. It didn't take long for one after another Soviet KV-1 improved tanks to appear in the distance, and in the middle of these tanks, there were several even more massive KV-2 steel behemoths.

The commanders of the Soviet units were not fools, and the returning German bombers must have brought back the situation of high-value targets to the German airfields, where a larger group of bombers might probably appear here in a few tens of minutes, and by that time the situation of the Soviet ground forces would be even more difficult, so they would now devote all their forces to preparing for a fierce attack like a ship.

The Soviet tanks began to charge at the German positions like a tidal wave, and the roar of the engines made the whole earth seem to tremble with it. Behind the first row of tanks, more tanks continued to appear, and even Wren was taken aback by the number of Soviet tanks. There are only 3 tanks on his side, and 100 on the other side, right?" he thought silently to himself.

Fortunately, although the number of Soviet tanks was huge, the quality was uneven. About 5 KV-2 tanks are considered the most threatening targets, and the remaining KV-1 improved tanks that can be put on the table are only about 40, and the remaining 50 tanks are all weak T-26 tanks, that is, the storage ZĂ i that sent warmth to the German army.

At this time, Wren didn't have to be polite, and with his order, the three tanks suddenly opened fire in unison, directly hitting the dense Soviet tanks in the distance. A Tiger 88mm cannon spewed shells that hit a T-26 tank, piercing through the tank's armor and then coming out from the other side and piercing another T-26 before stopping.

Then the two Soviet tanks exploded almost simultaneously, setting off two beautiful huge balls of fire. Wren's cannon hit two tanks at once, while Marcus aimed at a KV-1 modification, which directly knocked the turret of the opposing tank into the air, and the other tank No. 115 also hit his target, a good start, making the German soldiers on the frontal battlefield cheer.

They had already been frightened by the number of Soviet tanks, but seeing their tanks open fire and attack, and suddenly achieving such a brilliant result, made their accelerated hearts calm - after all, the combat effectiveness of their own tanks was not low, and there was no need to be too afraid of the other side.

It is a pity that the battle does not end with a surprise attack, and the Soviet tanks immediately realized that they were being attacked. These improved KV-1 tanks, as well as the later production T-26 tanks, were equipped with radio equipment, so their reaction speed was even greater.

However, they still did not find the location of the German tanks, and they kept firing at several positions on the front that were easy to hide the tanks, but they did not find the shadow of the opponent's tanks.

Wren will not show mercy to their opponents if they don't find them. The German tanks were known for their fast rate of fire, and his tanks dominated the German armored forces with their high rate of fire, and the second shot was not a salvo, and the second round of fire was fired less than a second between the three tanks.

Once again, three shells flew towards the target, exploding bright sparks in the dense formation of Soviet tanks. This time sharp-eyed Soviet tanks spotted the trajectory of the shells, and they began to turn to the side of the woods, adjusting their turrets.

Of course, at this time, there were already 7 Soviet tanks burning on the position, and the beating flames showed the great power of the German tank guns and the superb shooting accuracy of the German armored troops.

You must know that the three tanks on Rennes's side are not ordinary people, he himself has improved his record to an astonishing 85, Marcus's side has also drawn six thick lines representing 60, and tank No. 115 has long been the trump card for destroying more than 20 tanks. All three of their crews can be said to be the elite of the elite, and it is even more difficult for the Soviet tank forces to bargain on these people.

"Boom!" This time it was obvious to realize the coordination advantage of the Wren crew, they were almost a full second faster than the second Marcus crew who fired the cannon, and the roar of the guns was no longer coming out in unison, but in a staggered manner.

In this round of firing, the first flying shell hit a KV-1 modified tank head-on, and coincidentally got into the junction of the turret and body of the tank. There can be arguably one of the most vulnerable places for a tank, so this KV tank exploded cleanly and turned into a pile of twisted scrap metal.

"Boom!" a KV-2 tank fired its own shell, which landed at least 150 meters away from the German tank due to panic and the aiming level of the soldiers. According to the experience of the German tank crews, the Soviet tank could not fire its second shell for at least half a minute.

"I'll leave this to me!" Marcus grinned, and asked his crew's gun commander to adjust the angle of the cannon slightly, and fired a shot at the tall steel behemoth. The shell slammed directly into the terrible huge tank, only to be distracted by the thick armor projectile on the KV-2's turret because of the angle.

"......" Marcus had the urge to curse, and this was the first time he had seen that his shells had failed to penetrate the armor of an opponent's tank. Could it be that this Soviet tank is a solid piece of iron? He cursed secretly in his heart. Still, habit gave him the right command: "Reload the armor-piercing projectiles, make up for another shot! Hurry up! We didn't shoot it!"

From the captain's periscope, he saw the steel monster aiming the black 152mm cannon at his tank
