Throughout late November and early December, Fafnir fought to open the Soviet-encircled pocket and maintain a passage to Stalingrad.

The Romanians were vulnerable and lost their positions in just one day.

The Soviet Red Army was pouring in from the north, and Karl and his first company of tigers fought desperately to hold off waves of Soviet tanks in the direction of the Don River, but could not stop the hordes of Soviet infantry from penetrating the battle line.

The Soviets also attacked to the south, and Fafnir's second company was fighting desperately, and the Romanians, as always, were completely unreliable.

"Turn right! 3 o'clock!700 meters armor-piercing shell fire!"

Ignoring the danger of being hit by Soviet snipers, Fafnir leaned out of the turret and shouted orders to his subordinates.

As orders were issued, his No. 223 car roared again and again, paralyzing one Soviet tank after another.

He no longer cares about checking the situation of the enemy and the enemy at this time, and it has become an instinct to drive, stop, turn, and shoot.

Car No. 223 was like a mainstay, with the help of small hills and houses, telescopic guns, and from time to time it would protrude into the unsheltered flat ground and shoot at groups of Soviet infantry with machine guns to provide fire cover for the German infantry.

The heavy artillery of the Russians was terrifying, and the ground that had been frozen like iron plates in November was blown to the ground.

The tank fought under artillery fire by complete luck, but fortunately, Fafnier's premonition ability has made him not eat the big guy so far, that is, he has been gnawed a few times by the T34's 76 gun, at this time he has already retracted into the turret, and with his ability to reduce damage, he does not dare to be exposed to artillery fire.

Tiger No. 223 has become a thorn in the side of the Russians, a large number of Russian tanks and assault guns that broke through have focused on it, and the No. 3 and No. 4 tanks that helped the battle have survived until now by relying on the No. 223 Tiger to attract firepower, and they have also achieved a lot of results.

Fafnir and his companion's three Tigers used the tactic of sequentially covering advance fire and then retreating to cover fire frequently killing and injuring the Russian tank group, but the Russians launched dozens of attacks in 48 hours, barely stopping.

The German infantry suffered heavy casualties, and the losses of tanks 3 and 4 and assault guns were also rising rapidly, and many tanks were destroyed by Soviet tanks or artillery after dozens of hours of sleepless fighting.

The same was true for Favenil's car No. 223, who by the end of November had only been given a short break for ten days, except for one Favenir Superman

In addition, everyone else has been wooden, the tank has been seriously damaged, the four tigers of the second company of Fafnir have frequently broken down, and one tiger has been unable to start and has to blow up on its own to avoid falling into the hands of the Russians.

One of the other three Tigers was no longer able to fight and had to be evacuated for overhaul, and the remaining two barely relied on the disassembled parts on the blown up Tigers before they could move into battle.

Faffnir and their forces were no longer able to resist the seemingly never-ending Russian onslaught, and had to retreat further north, eventually joining forces of the 1st Company to defend in the Karachi area.

The first company was as miserable as they were, and the entire 503 battalion had only five tigers left on the battlefield to fight.

The first company had two vehicles, and the second company had three.

Fortunately, they seized the time to rest in Karachi, and the repair troops dismantled the tigers that were about to be evacuated for repair, and used them to repair the five tigers, and replenished fuel and ammunition.

The entire battalion of damaged tigers was sent to the rear on the train, leaving them in five tigers to form a battle group, commanded by the battalion headquarters to defend Karachi.

Karl was sent to the rear with his paralyzed Tiger, and Favinir was first issued a silver tank assault badge by the battalion headquarters, and then ordered to fight in Karachi, and he also received a military letter, an old friend "Hairy Thief"

Belvigan wrote to show off the sun and the sand, mocking him for being an unlucky bastard who was still wallowing in the cold mud unlike Faveniel's past in the Origin Realm, and because of some small butterflies, the Soviet Red Army did not capture Karachi on November 23, but did not reach the outskirts of Karachi until the 30th.

Fafnier's car No. 223 fought fiercely with the attacking Fifth Tank Army of the Southwestern Front in the city of Karachi, "Slowly, wait patiently, I estimate that the Russians are about to appear around this corner, very good! Come, let Dad take a good look at you, dear Russian tanks! Shoot!"

A T34 had just turned the corner when Fafnier hit him, and he hid in a bungalow at the other end of the street, quietly aiming at the corner 150 meters away, ready to send all the Russians who came out of here into the sky.

After destroying the first Russian tank, Fafnir ordered the tank to speed up and drive directly through the middle of the street, with the German infantry still hiding in the house and behind the bunker to cover his ass, shooting all the Russian infantry who tried to get around.

Favinir's hunch had always been his reliance, and he felt that behind the corner was a group of Soviet infantry mixed with su85 assault guns and T34 tanks.

And these guys are ready for battle due to the destruction of the T34 that came out.

Favinir rushed through the street corner at high speed (30 km) and made an abrupt stop behind the destroyed T34, and in the turret, which had already turned around, the gunner Palat fired the gun with a slight aim, and an 88mm armor-piercing shell accurately hit the su85 less than 100 meters away, turning the assault gun into scrap metal, and the coaxial machine gun knocked down one Soviet infantry after another on the street.

The Russian tanks also fired desperately, but unfortunately the destroyed tanks in front of them became a bunker for the tigers, and their rudimentary sights pitted them again - all the shells missed.

Fafnir took the opportunity to take an angle, used the wreckage of the tank to cover the side of the body, named the Russian tanks one by one with accurate firepower from near to far, and notified the ambushed comrades on the radio, and the No. 4 tank took the opportunity to cover the group of Russians from behind, and the German infantry also took the opportunity to rush over and destroy the Soviet infantry.

Such battles were frequent, and the Germans used the five tigers as firefighters and defensive backbones to engage in street battles with the attacking Soviet Red Army, in which the tigers appeared almost indestructible, strangling the intruding Soviet troops.

However, the comparison of strength was that the Soviet Red Army was superior after all, and the Germans retreated step by step, barely maintaining the passage as thin as a hair - the life and death line of the Sixth Army.

The battle continued until mid-December, when the order to allow the Sixth Army to retreat was never given.

The 503rd Battalion and the rest of the unit also suffered heavy casualties in Karachi - only three of the five Tigers remained, the other two had been destroyed, and the number of other German tanks in the city did not exceed 10, and he did not know how many Fafnir was not the battalion commander, and the infantry suffered heavy casualties, and there were not many artillery left.

However, they still hold Karachi and still maintain the passage!

The city was littered with wrecked Soviet tanks, and no one was interested in counting how many dead people there were - Russians, Germans.

However, they heard that Stalingrad was even more miserable than Karachi, and they did not know when the order to retreat would be given.

Finally, on December 20, Fafnir and his team could not withstand the wave of Soviet offensives and began to be slowly forced out of the city of Karachi, and before that, General Paulus of the Sixth Army issued an order - the Sixth Army retreated on its own without the orders of the high command!

A large number of troops of the Sixth Army withdrew from Stalingrad, and the grapevine said that the Führer in the High Command began to thunder, but the other generals seemed to breathe a sigh of relief; and then there was gossip that the Führer had acquiesced to the order - the retreat of the Sixth Army accelerated at the end of December, Karachi was finally occupied by the Soviets, and most of the Sixth Army escaped, but General Paulus and his generals refused to withdraw from Stalingrad, and the German army of about 20,000 men was still fighting in Stalingrad - They seem to be "taking responsibility for retreating on their own"

？

Fafnir and the others had already withdrawn from the battle line at this time, and the tigers who had been sent in advance in the early stage were urgently repaired and put on top of the rearguard squad to cover the retreat of the whole army and delay the pursuit of the Soviet army.

In early January, Fafnir they arrived in Rostov-on-Don.

On January 11, the Soviets finally recaptured Stalingrad and annihilated the remaining 20,000 German troops, General Paulus and his senior staff committed suicide, but it was already very different from the battle of the Origin World - the Germans eventually lost more than 200,000 troops, the Sixth Army still existed, and the revoked number was only 4 infantry divisions, far less than the 850,000 losses of the Origin World - still excluding the Romanians, and the losses of the Soviet Red Army were the same as the Origin World, with casualties of nearly one million.

History seems to have gone in a different direction?
