Chapter 801 802 Tank Battle
While the vanguard of Army Group A in the central region was engaged in a fierce battle with the Soviets in an unnamed village, Wren and his crew were also slaughtering poor Soviet soldiers. These Soviets, who lacked heavy weapons, were defeated by German heavy tanks, but they still used their flesh and blood to stop the German army from advancing into the heart of the Caucasus.
The bullet hit the frontal armor of the Tiger tank, and only scratched off some of the paint, and the rest had little effect. The huge steel behemoth led the German grenadiers to easily tear through the improvised defensive line of the Soviet Red Army, destroying the position like slicing tofu, killing and wounding people, and finally breaking through the position and continuing to advance in depth.
For soldiers on the front line, war means boring food, dirty personal hygiene, and danger to life anytime and anywhere - if soldiers who have been on the battlefield were allowed to make choices, probably all wars in the world would not happen. As for slogans such as the great righteousness of the nation and the glory of the motherland, they are not convincing in the face of a cruel war.
Of course, it is not the ordinary soldiers who fight and die on the front line that really decide the fate of everyone, so no matter how cruel the war is, it must continue. Therefore, more young people are armed, carrying their rifles, stepping on their legs, for the sake of distant dreams, driving to the front line, using their lives as a bet to fight for an invisible glorious future.
Wren knew that killing was a pointless thing, and that only victory, or rather achieving one's own ends, would killing in the process become a necessary means. Now he has a more important task, which is to solve that terrible trouble on the battlefield: Wolf King.
It is precisely because of such a formidable opponent, and this opponent does not know when it will appear in front of him, that Wren has recently become more and more cautious, and has reined in his original fighting style that borders on recklessness. He carefully observes the surrounding terrain and uses the safest tactics to achieve his tactical goals, sometimes even giving up pursuit battles to avoid falling into areas with insufficient intelligence and being forced to fight in an unfamiliar environment.
Even so, he faced one of the most dangerous battles he had faced since the Battle of Stone. Because on the opposite line of defense, there was a tank like the KV-2 tank, which was enough to pose a threat to their tank - the Stalin tank.
Just when the entire armored company was still launching a breakthrough attack on the Soviet defensive positions according to the same offensive plan as before, the Soviet armored forces finally showed their sharp fangs. After advancing nearly 100 kilometers, the Germans finally collided with the rested and prepared 2nd Guards Panzer Corps in the Caucasus, and collided with one of the best armored forces of the Soviet Army.
A Stalin tank opened fire first at a distance of about 900 meters, and the 122 gun passed by a German Tiger tank with great power, but the huge force still caused the shell to hit the dirt slope far behind the Tiger tank, splashing a black dirt.
This powerful shot, like a giant swinging a giant sword, did not hit the target, but it really startled the advancing German tank troops. Before confirming what kind of tank the other side was, some German tanks even began to reverse.
"Hey, Andrey, do you see what kind of tank the other side is? Look at the attack, it doesn't look like KV-2 garbage. While looking around with a periscope, Wren asked his Cannon Andrei with a frown.
"I didn't even see that shell!" Andre replied to Wren's question as he steered the turret in a dangerous direction, "What's going on in the woods over there!"
"Yes, I see it! It's not a KV-2 tank, it's much lower than it! It's Stalin! Move carefully! Aim your hull in the direction of the enemy! Bowman! Turn a little!" Wren commanded loudly.
His Tiger tanks were turning little by little, and the Soviets clearly did not want to miss such an opportunity to attack, and one after another Stalin tanks rushed out of the woods, followed by more T-34 tanks. The tanks kept moving forward, then stopped and fired, and more and more shells flew over the German tanks.
"Boom!" a T-34 tank fired a 76 mm shell hit the front armor plate of a German Tiger tank, and the huge force shook everything hanging on the tank to the ground, but the shell obviously did not penetrate the armor, the Tiger tank shook twice, and continued to reverse and retreat.
"Cover! The tanks on the left flank are starting to release smoke! Covering the hit tanks and continuing to retreat! Marcus! Aim at the closest Soviet tank and fire! They are trying to close the distance between them and us!" Wren shouted an order to the rest of the crew, while ordering his own crew: "Bruce! Armor-piercing shells are loaded! Andrey, aim and fire! Don't wait for my orders!"
"Boom!" Marcus, sure enough, fired cleanly, but maybe because of the distance, or because of the bump or some other reason, the German Tiger tank's gun did not hit the target, but flew past the Soviet tank, breaking a dead tree trunk about the thickness of the mouth of a bowl.
Bowman adjusted the tank's backward trajectory, aimed the front of the hull in the direction of the Soviet tank's attack, and then stopped to give Andrei a chance to aim at the opponent's tank, and the Tiger tank shook twice and stopped steadily. As the tank stopped, the slender 88 mm cannon on the turret was aimed at a target, and the black hole muzzle was murderous.
Andrei did not hesitate and directly inspired the artillery. The 88 mm tank gun made a loud "boom", and a shell flew towards the target at great speed, but unfortunately this shell only hit a T-34 tank that rushed quickly, and did not hit the most threatening Stalin's tank.
The left flank of the German armored forces began to release smoke, some tanks were enveloped in the smoke of retreat, and the Stalinists on the opposite side, having lost their target, began to turn their turrets and rain shells on the 1st platoon of 5 tanks in the central part of the cover.
Another Soviet tank shell flew, this time hammering heavily on the frontal armor of Marcus's tank, this powerful shell came from Stalin's tank, and the penetration power of 122 mm caliber was really not comparable to the small role of the 76 gun.
The powerful energy directly broke the thickened steel plate on the supplementary installation of the Tiger tank in Kyiv, and then because of this terrible energy, the track that Marcus had just replaced directly broke due to the vibration, and the Tiger tank painted with the number 112 was also paralyzed on the battlefield.
"Hey, Wren, I was shot, God, my nose...... The Soviet artillery is so ruthless! Hey, everyone's okay?" Inside the headphones, Wren heard the intermittent voice of his comrade-in-arms Marcus. Knowing that they were okay also put Wren's heart at ease.
"Fire! Cover Marcus's escape!" Wren looked at the flaunting Soviet tank in the distance and gave the order to continue firing. He knew that in today's situation, it would not be easy for his company to get out of it all.
"Boom!" did not make him wait long, and a shell was quickly returned by Andrei to his Soviet counterpart, and the 88-millimeter caliber shell of the Tiger tank again drew a straight line and struck on the frontal armor of the Soviet Stalin tank that stopped to fire.
Living up to the advance deployment of German scientists and Accardo, the tungsten alloy armor-piercing shell showed its strong penetrating ability, this shell penetrated the front armor of the Soviet tank, causing damage to the Soviet soldiers inside, the Stalin tank quickly exploded, and none of the Soviet soldiers inside jumped out of the tank.
"Reload! Hurry up!" Marcus's tank was incapacitated, but still able to fire, and instead of giving up on the tank and fleeing, they began to return fire on the spot. Their second shell was very lucky, hitting a T-34 tank - it can be seen that just now they were hit, fortunately did not affect the aiming device of the artillery.
"Marcus, get out of there!" Wren shouted at Marcus as he kept firing at Andre, pressing the throat intercom, "Your tank can't move, it's going to be a target for the Soviets soon!"
"I'm going to cover your flank! Wren! I don't want to blow up my own tank! That's not my style!" Marcus yelled in his headset.
"Damn it! Andrey! Keep firing!" Wren gritted his teeth and ordered loudly: "Bowman! Stop! Shoot on the spot! All tanks obey my orders and attack forward! Maintain the offensive formation of the 1st company! Tanks on the right flank, concentrate firepower, and take out the opponent's left flank first!"
At this time, a T-34 shell hit the turret of Wren's tank No. 113, but apparently the shell did not penetrate enough, and did not do much except leave a shallow hole in the turret of the bulletproof Tiger tank.
Just as the entire 1st Company was preparing to ram head-on with the attacking Soviet armored forces, a dense row of bombs covered the area of attack of the Soviet tanks. A powerful explosion enveloped the Soviet tanks at once, and then black smoke rose into the air one after another. Several Stuka 2 attack planes flew through the sky, and the bombs they dropped were so powerful that they instantly crushed the arrogance of the Soviet tanks on the ground.
"Boom!" The turret of a Soviet tank flew far away, marking the end of this tank battle with the Germans still winning.
