After an explosion occurred that killed all the crew members of a Panzer IV tank.
Soon after, another violent explosion sounded on the battlefield.
And this third explosion was from the KV-2 heavy tank driven by Lao Yang and the others. They finally used another 152mm caliber grenade to kill a Panzer IV tank.
When such a result appeared, Shi Polu had already fired 5 shells in a row.
When he saw the fire rising on the opposite side, he let out a huge sigh of relief.
In fact, as early as when the two Panzer III tanks and four Panzer IV tanks on the opposite side, a total of six tanks, rushed out, Yang Dongli also issued an order for the tanks to continue advancing.
The reason is that they actually only need to advance another 200 meters to reach the edge of the artillery position.
Then the distance between the two large 600mm diameter pipes at the two doors of Degun is less than 300 meters.
With such a distance, Shi Polu was completely confident that he could hit the two targets that needed to be destroyed with artillery fire.
It needs to be explained that although Shi Polu is a novice when it comes to using tank guns, he will not become such a novice after fighting for so long.
The main relationship is that when Yang Dongli and others drove out the KV-2 heavy tank, it was repaired, which meant that it could drive and fire.
But even the aiming equipment of the 152-meter howitzer has not been completely repaired.
So now Shi Polu was completely relying on his own feeling to fire; in fact, even if he replaced the bacon with the operation, his accuracy would not be much better.
This is also the biggest reason why Bacon is still lying on the ground, shooting continuously with an M1 carbine without replacing it.
Also, it’s time now.
Whether it is Yang Dongli or Hu Biao, they have long given up the hope of capturing the opponent's 600 mm thick pipe and then opening fire on Mamayev Hill.
As long as they could kill these two thick pipes that were a huge threat, they would be satisfied.
It is a pity that Lao Yang and the others drove heavy tanks the closer they got to the artillery position in Degun.
The road conditions have become worse because there are bomb craters and abandoned trenches everywhere on the ground; at the same time, the vehicle has to be reversed from time to time to avoid the opponent's anti-tank personnel.
In this short distance of 200 meters, the ashtray was not only sweating from the forehead, but also did not open for 3 minutes.
During this process, other members of the crew were not idle either.
Except for the two Maozi soldiers who were always operating and firing the machine guns, Shengun and Shi Polu were busy cooperating with each other and never let the 152mm caliber gun stop.
The problem is that the artillery fire is booming, but there have been no results worth mentioning.
In this situation, until Yang Dongli basically didn't fire on them, after giving him a lot of hope, he habitually yelled in his mouth:
"9 o'clock direction, distance 55 meters, fire~"
The main reason is that the distance of 55 meters seems very close, but when both sides are maneuvering irregularly, it is too difficult for them to hit their opponents.
And then, they just magically hit each other.
A grenade hit the opponent's frontal armor, but the power of the 152 mm caliber shell was still enough to break through the opponent's defense.
An instant later, the No. 4 tank was directly blown up.
However, before Yang Dongli could start shouting and praising Shi Polu and Shengun for their wonderful work, the fourth huge explosion occurred.
And this explosion is huge bad news for the entire Zhongzhou team.
Because when Yang Dongli and others were still cheering and rejoicing, a German soldier suddenly jumped up from behind a nearby snowdrift from a position beyond their sight.
At the same time, he threw an explosive bag with the fuse in his hand on the path of the KV-2 heavy tank.
For such a sudden and huge threat, Yang Dongli and the others had no way of seeing it.
Hu Biao saw this scene at the time, but he only had time to knock the German soldier to the ground who was trying to flee.
As for notifying Yang Dongli and the others in time to stop their advance immediately, it was too late. Gu
Therefore, Hu Biao could only see with extreme helplessness that after a ball of fire exploded from the ground, the track on the right side of the KV-2 heavy tank was also broken.
The strongest charging force of the Zhongzhou team had completely stopped.
To make matters worse, from the other direction of the German gun artillery position, a burst of shouts of killing clearly reached their ears.
When Hu Biao raised his head and took a look, he discovered that another German army was coming to support him.
Although this German reinforcements were not large in number, they only numbered about 150 people. They also had a thin armored vehicle with a large hollow.
But in a short period of time, including the Zhongzhou team and Maozi soldiers, there were only 30 people left on Hu Biao's side.
Such a result is almost disappointing.
It is no exaggeration to say that at this point, the Zhongzhou team has already fallen into the most difficult moment of this mission.
They basically couldn't see any possibility of completing the second phase of the mission.
Then, Hu Biao, Yang Dongli, Zhui Feng, Original Sin, White Elephant, Bianrou and other veterans on the battlefield couldn't help but think of one thing with great frustration:
Should we stop our losses in time, take advantage of the fact that there are still about a dozen people left in the team, and possibly withstand the punishment of the system, and retreat quickly...
******
"Just retreat. Even if I die, I will die here, and I won't be willing to take risks in the random erasure of the system. Hu Biao is famous for his dark face when he rushes to the street. Who knows if he can survive it."
The wording may not be the same, but the content is almost the same.
At the same time, in different places, curses came out from the mouths of Hu Biao, Yang Dongli and others.
The difference was that after Yang Dongli cursed such a sentence, he stuck out his head and looked at the two 600 mm thick pipes in the distance at the risk of being hit by a bullet.
After discovering where they were now, they were almost 400 meters away from the nearest pipe.
And because their KV-2 heavy tank lost its mobility, and because they discovered that reinforcements were about to arrive, German engineers No. 50 and 60 rushed over with various explosives.
Yang Dongli faced the other people in the crew, mainly Shi Polu, and solemnly shouted into the microphone:
"Raise the muzzle, 400 meters directly in front of the target, kill the Karl heavy mortar first, and then the second one farther away. Whether the mission can be completed, Lao Shi, everything depends on you now.
Because in a minute or two at most, we will be blown up to the sky."
When Shi Polu heard the words, he didn't reply at all, but in a position where others couldn't see him, while adjusting the muzzle of the gun, he almost chewed his back molars.
After Yang Dongli finished speaking, he warned the two Maozi machine gunners:
"There are two more machine gunner comrades. For the sake of the great Comrade Steel and the great Volgograd, please buy us some time."
With this sentence, without waiting for the two Maozi machine gunners to say anything, he and Ashtray took action almost at the same time.
He leaned half of his body out from the turret and driver's exits respectively.
Ignoring the bullets flying outside, he used the Thomson or Bobosha submachine gun in his hand to fire wildly at the German engineers who were rushing over.
In the blink of an eye, Ashtray's left arm was shot through, Yang Dongli was shot twice in the chest and abdomen, and two fingers of his left thumb were broken off.
The saying that the fingers are linked to the heart is not for nothing, poor old Yang's eyes were red at the scene.
But even so, the two of them still had no intention of going back. They were risking their own lives to buy more time for Shi Polu.
Because they are not sure, without aiming device.
How many rounds does it take for Shi Polu to hit the target? Anyway, the more time, the better.
Outside the tank, Hu Biao and the others saw the barrel of the 152 howitzer of the KV-2 heavy tank gradually rising as it rotated, and they knew what was going on.
Therefore, at the first opportunity, he focused his main energy on killing those combat engineers.
Now the two sides are competing for who has the fastest time, whether they will destroy the two Karl heavy guns first; or whether the German side will be faster and kill Lao Yang's KV-2 heavy tank.
