81_81266 There was a bang, and some of the pieces that were not fixed in the Wren tank fell to the ground inside the tank, but no one cared about these small things at this time. Because as the tank slid under the roadbed, Bowman found that the Tiger tank had stalled.

"Wren! The tank is off! I'm trying to figure it out. Bowman checked the gauges on the gearbox and exclaimed, "I need some time." ”

"Hell, what we're missing now is time!" Wren found that his tank was now parked at an angle, and now the tank was in a climbing state: "Hurry up and fix it, we have to get out of here, or the Soviets will kill us all in a while." ”

"Lieutenant Wren! I can't see you, are you already driving off the roadbed? Sure! Are you already off the roadbed?" In the headset, the commander of a Leopard tank was calling his commander Wren over and over again.

Wren pressed the throat intercom and ordered in a hurried voice: "Get off the road! Get out of there quickly! There are Soviet tanks in ambush in the wheat field!"

As he spoke, another shell slashed through the air and struck the side of a German Leopard tank like a punch, and because of the distance and the thickness of the armor, the shell pierced through the fragile side armor of the Leopard tank, leaving a black hole about two centimeters thick on it.

"No. 2 hit! Oh my God! Tank No. 2 hit! Accelerate! Accelerate! Let's retreat to the roadbed! Quick! Quick!" Captain of the Battalion Headquarters Leopard Tank No. 1 screamed in the headset.

"Hell!" Wren quickly pulled out the MP-44 assault rifle that had been with him for a long time from his side, and before he had time to pick up the grenade, he grabbed the rifle and lifted his hatch and rushed out of his tank turret as fast as he could.

No sooner had he lifted the turret hatch than he saw a Leopard tank rushing down the roadbed, and the shell slashed through the air against the top of the Leopard tank's turret, sending out a dazzling spark. Wren glanced at the village of Tupos in the distance, and found that the Soviet soldiers inside did not rush out, sighed slightly, and quickly jumped off the tank with his rifle and climbed along the roadbed.

"Wren!" behind him, Alice shouted as she lifted the hatch and turned to his back.

"You guys find a way to start the tank! I'll see how tank No. 2 goes!" Wren replied loudly as he climbed up the roadbed.

Kicking off a rock under his feet, Wren climbed to the top of the roadbed, poked his head out, and looked at the wheat field that was no longer moving. I don't know how much worse this road is than the roads in Germany, it is completely built of compacted earth, and it is full of potholes and ruts.

Wren looked at it twice, then retracted his head, he didn't want to be shot and shattered, and then die in this infamous place. He climbed along the roadbed to the side of the No. 2 tank that had been hit, and saw that the Leopard tank that had been hit did not catch fire, but the engine was slightly smoking.

He hurriedly jumped onto the road, but at the same time heard the shouts of the Soviet soldier Ula from the village of Turpos not far away. Wren gritted his teeth and continued to climb onto the Leopard tank, then slammed open the hatch and looked inside.

The captain's face was covered in blood, but he was clearly still breathing, and the wounded captain groaned, as if he had been hurt by the concussion of the cannonball. Wren didn't think much of it, and quickly reached out and grabbed the commander by the back collar, and pulled him out of the tank's turret with a single force.

The maneuver went smoothly, and Wren pulled the hapless captain and jumped off the roadbed in one breath before catching his breath, when he saw the captain of another Leopard tank running to a large rock not far from him.

"Go back, launch the tanks, prepare to retreat, suppress the Soviet infantry in the village, cover me and save people!" Wren shouted loudly. He was relatively safe now, after all, on the side close to the village of Turpos, there was a Leopard tank as his cover, and he was only a short distance exposed to the enemy's guns.

"Bruce! come here to help! get the wounded into the tank!" Wren turned his head and shouted in the direction of his tank as he saw the commander return to his tank.

He shouted, and when Bruce was halfway out of the tank, he turned around again and climbed the roadbed with difficulty. This time he returned to the road without much difficulty, picked up the assault rifle that had just been thrown on the ground, climbed into the tank again, went around to the side of the wheat field, lifted the cannon commander's hatch, and then skillfully pulled the unconscious gun commander out of the tank.

This time he was not so smooth, apparently the Soviet tank in the wheat field was aiming at him, one bullet flew past his hat, and the other hit the ground not far from the tank, splashing a cloud of dust. He laid the gun commander flat on the ground and returned to the tank.

Wren dodged around the turret this time, and then after waiting for a few seconds, he leapt to his feet and slipped through the captain's hatch into the turret of the Leopard. There was a burnt smell in the car, and Wren knew it was best not to stay long.

He had been fighting in the Leopard tank for a little longer than in the Tiger tank, so even in the dark, he quickly found what he was looking for, and the two grenades were placed in a more comfortable position, and he pulled the safety ring and threw the grenades at a certain angle.

"Are there any living people, are there still living people?" he asked loudly as he threw the grenade.

"Yes!" a weak voice came from the other side of the cab: "The mechanic and I are alive, but we are both injured and can't open the hatch ourselves." ”

Wren stretched out his hand and grabbed the loader again, he himself poked out of the hull first, and the black smoke from the explosion of two grenades in the distance obscured some of his vision, and sure enough, Wren was not attacked this time, he pulled out half of the loader's body, only to find that the loader had been killed.

The fast-moving Wren threw him on the turret, and then quickly jumped on the hull hatch in front of him, lifted the hatch and pulled the electromechanic out, who was also unconscious, but there should be no wounds on his body in the situation, and it is estimated that he just fainted because of the concussion. When Wren pulled him out of the tank, a bullet hit the barrel of the tank.

When Wren jumped out of the tank with the wounded, he happened to see Bruce climb the roadbed, and while carrying the wounded gun commander, he reported to Wren loudly: "I carried the wounded back to the tank, and Andre asked me to come up and help." ”

"Get these two back. Wren pointed to the two men on the ground, and as he spoke, he climbed into the Leopard tank next to him, and braved the rain of bullets to catch the remaining driver, and he had just jumped off the tank with the wounded and came to the edge of the road when a Soviet KV tank rushed out of the rice field.

The difference between this KV tank and most of the Soviet KV-1 modifications was that it had a huge square turret, so large that Wren was stunned for a moment when he looked at it.

A thought crossed Wren's mind, this was a new tank, a new Soviet tank designed to deal with the German tank forces. Glancing at the thick tank gun, Wren slightly estimated that this tank gun had a caliber of at least 120 mm, which at first glance was a "secret weapon" specially prepared to penetrate the armor of German tanks.

Although the tank rushed out of the wheat field, it did not drive onto the roadbed and drove much faster than walking. Wren was carrying a wounded man on his back, and he had to move a little faster than the heavy "big-headed" tank. Wren slid down the roadbed with the wounded and saw Andre and Bruce carrying the two wounded onto the Tiger tank.

"Andrey, adjust the turret, guard the other side of the road! There's a new Soviet tank, it's a big guy! Bruce! Prepare armor-piercing shells!" Wren commanded loudly as he ran.

"Boom!" there was a loud bang, apparently the behemoth had opened fire, and the shell hit the Leopard tank paralyzed on the road, and then the tank was enveloped by a huge explosion, igniting a raging fire, and the turret was thrown into the air due to the tragic detonation.

Wren returned to his tank, put on the headset, and then pressed the throat communicator to give the order to retreat: "No. 1, I'm Wren! Retreat! Retreat! Bowman! Turn on the smoke device! No. 1, turn on the smoke device!"

The Leopard tank on that side had long wanted to leave, because in the Persian village, hundreds of Soviet Red Army troops were charging at his tank, and the machine gun ammunition of this Leopard tank was almost exhausted, and the grenades were about to run out.

The roar of the engine sounded again, and Wren felt the shaking of the tank again, the Tiger and Leopard tanks were much more mobile than the Soviet tanks, so the two tanks quickly retreated, and they seemed to be at a distance from the Soviet tanks that rushed out of the wheat field.

"Wren, you mean, you see the new Soviet tank?" Andrei asked, faintly seeing a T-26 tank rushing onto the road through the smoke from the scope.

"Yes, that's right, a KV tank with a very large turret, armed with a tank gun of at least 120 mm caliber. It looks like the armor has also been thickened, so it's slow. Wren nodded and said, "Report this news to the battalion headquarters immediately, so that they don't suffer." ”

On the afternoon of 9 April, the German offensive came to a halt as troops near the village of Turpos reported the startling news that a new Soviet tank had entered the battle
