The offensive was very fierce at the outset, and in the time after the double siege of Vikyanmar-Bryansk, the Soviet Red Army managed to reorganize its forces, reorganize the defensive line, and the reserves arrived in Moscow from the Far East. Millions of Muscovites and militia quickly built complete fortifications, so that the Germans began with a strong battle.

As a tank soldier, Fafnir naturally rushed to the front line. He commanded his own tanks, and together with his teammates, used grenade fire to eliminate Soviet fire points and fortifications, especially many strong fortifications, and he and his companions used their tanks to cover the blasting for combat engineers. From time to time, Soviet tanks launched flank assaults in an attempt to cut off the German offensive routes, or directly confronted them head-on, hoping to block the German tank offensive arrows. Favinir fought six or seven tank battles in one day.

"Ruler 1200!T26!Grenade shot!" Fafnier shouted over the intercom.

"Turn right!!stop!advance!turn the turret 15 degrees to the right!2 o'clock!reload armor-piercing!" he shouted again to the driver and gunner. "Stop! Wait for my order!" a T34 suddenly protruded a few seconds later from the corner of the village house where Favenil's tank was located, and Fafnier's tank had been aiming its guns at this position for a few seconds. This T34 did not find the No. 4 tank close to the ruler, and Fafnier's gunner did not wait for him to give the order to shoot before an armor-piercing bullet was fired, the distance between the two vehicles was only 4~5 meters, T34 still completely exposed the sides and buttocks, and Fafnier's gunner could not fly. A 75 armor-piercing round accurately pierced the engine hood of the T34, breaking the T34's engine, and the Soviet tankmen jumped out of the tank, only to be knocked down one by one by Fafnier's tank machine guns - they did not realize that the German tank that destroyed them was actually behind them.

Once again, the Soviet Red Army tanks repelled the assault on the flank of the German army, and Favnir they could not stay and rushed directly to the front line for reinforcements. Precious time and motorcycle hours and supplies were consumed in the struggle with the Soviet army. Fafnir had increased his record to 14 tanks and self-propelled guns in just one week, and was already the number one tank hunter in the regiment, and his friends were lucky, no one was missing an arm or leg to hang on the front line, and they were all safe.

The weather became cold almost all at once....Favinir learned what it means to call "Russian winter", the tanks could not be started, and the infantry suffered frostbite en masse. The antifreeze in the rear, the clothing to protect against the cold, and the camouflage in the snow could not be delivered, and the logistics were almost cut off. Fortunately, Favinir is not afraid of the cold, he is nothing at all, but the other tank crews have suffered serious losses, a large number of tanks can not be launched, and the tanks on the front line have simply become a fixed target for the Soviet army. Destroyed by anti-tank guns, Soviet tanks and long-range artillery. Fafnir and the others tried to start the tank to keep warm - at least the engine could still send some heat to the tank......... Every day, as soon as the fighting stops, the water tank must be emptied - otherwise it will freeze and die, and a lot of time must be spent boiling water to fill the tank before the battle every day, and at the same time checking that the lubricating oil is frozen...... Many tanks were just abandoned.

Fortunately, he was lucky, the situation of the tank was not bad, at least it could be launched every time, and it could climb and fight. But this is also his bad luck, because his tanks are still fighting, so he often fights in battle groups with other tanks and armored vehicles that can still fight. Fortunately at the end of November, the number of offensive operations was relatively small, and the sorties were a little less. In early December, when the Soviet Red Army launched a counteroffensive, he became a firefighter and ran around, and was dispatched by his superiors to plug leaks.

The fighting was extremely hard, the morale of the Soviet Red Army was high, and a large number of new troops were put into the battlefield. The Germans were demoralized and frequently abandoned their positions and retreated, but the Führer ordered that each stronghold must be held to the death, and this order buried a large number of soldiers and avoided the collapse of the German army.

Fafnir's tank was badly worn, and he was exhausted. The Soviets launched rounds of non-stop offensives, and he had little time to rest, always going from one battlefield to another.

"Stop!3 o'clock!!kv,!grenade ready!!miss?!"Fafnir exclaimed, "the distance is wrong!the ruler is put down at 400 meters!, come again!"

Favinir's crew, with all but him, was exhausted to death, and the gunners had made many range-finding and aiming errors, and the others had made many mistakes - thankfully they hadn't been killed until now............ Although they had been hit several times, thanks to Fafnier's hunch ability, they always took the first step to "ricochet" position, and with a bit of luck, their main armor had not been penetrated until now............ This is also thanks to the fact that Fafnir tried to avoid being hit by the T34 and kv by the shells of the T26 and BT series.

On every front, the Germans were retreating, and Fafnier's luck finally ran out. On 6 January, in the defensive battle on the outskirts of Kalinin, he and five other German tanks met the attack of Soviet tanks.

"Damn!!It's a T34!kv!Reverse!Turn left of the turret, aim at 10 o'clock!You concentrate on aiming!I'll give you the distance!450 meters!T34!Grenade fire!," Fafnier ordered loudly as he looked through the periscope from the commander's position. A grenade paralyzed the tank on the opposite side - the track was broken, but the Soviet T34 ignored it and still fired desperately at Fafnier, completely ignoring that it had become a fixed target. At this time, the other tanks of the German army were also entangled in Soviet tanks, which outnumbered them, and were unable to replenish their guns. Fafnier's short pipe 75 had no way to take the T34 again, so he had to reverse and find cover again, and after reversing 50 meters and turning into a house, another T34 on the opposite side caught up, and a KV was turned to outflank Faffnier's rear. This is the German and Soviet infantry are grappling, and Fafnir also has to be careful of the attack of the Soviet infantry. He ventured out of the turret and shouted to the German infantry for cover. A group of infantry was just about to look for cover when they saw the lone tank approaching. At this moment, a heavy grenade hit the house, and Fafnir shrank quickly and was already hiding in the tank. But the grenade finally broke his No. 4 tank - the track was broken, the body was stuck by the collapsed wall, and seeing the T34 and KV approaching, Fafnier decisively ordered to abandon the vehicle and flee with the infantry......... He himself had just jumped out of the turret when there was a flash of fire - the Kv behind opened fire, tank 4 was destroyed and caught fire, the signal corps did not have time to come out, and when Fafnir tried to save his men, the tank exploded, the turret was blown away, and Fafnir was blown away by the air wave, but fortunately there were no other injuries except broken ribs. He and the remaining crew members fled with the infantry, and along the way saw that the own tanks had lost quite a lot, but fortunately, the Soviets also suffered heavy losses and disengaged. Fafnir and the others retreated with the infantry and other escaped tankmen in the remaining tanks and personnel carriers.
