On the second day, the motorized infantry division belonging to the 602nd Armored Battalion, where Carlius was located, finally encountered the main force of the Soviet tank group.
The remaining 40 Panther tanks of the 602nd Armored Battalion faced more than 70 Soviet tanks of various types.
Fortunately, the Soviet army did not concentrate its superior armor forces to surround the 602nd Battalion's tank group, but instead launched a frontal attack in the form of a ferocious attack wave.
After several rounds of exchanges of fire, the Leopard tanks, whose artillery rate of fire and protection were obviously superior, destroyed more than 10 of the opponent's tanks and repelled the first round of Soviet shock waves.
However, the 602nd Armored Battalion was not unscathed. At least three Panther tanks were hit on their tracks.
The tank No. 101 commanded by the German tank battalion commander Konrad was also recognized by the Soviet army. More than a dozen Soviet tanks aimed at it and fired fiercely. As a result, the Panther tank No. 101 overturned and ended up in a crater.
In the middle, the card owner does not move.
Members of the vehicle crew, including Battalion Commander Conrad, were temporarily comatose or seriously injured.
Upon seeing this, the deputy battalion commander of the 602nd Armored Battalion immediately took over the command and issued an order: "The 1st and 2nd Squadrons, which suffered more serious losses, withstood the frontal impact of the Soviet tanks, and the 3rd and 4th Squadrons outflanked the flanks from both sides, fighting for
Use superior forces to attack the opponent's weak positions."
This is a Tian Ji horse racing tactic. The 1st and 2nd squadrons are dead, and the 3rd and 4th squadrons are allowed to steal the tower.
Stealing the tower successfully is a complete victory!
Judging from yesterday's experience, the Soviet armored forces extremely lacked the experience and courage to deal with surprise flank attacks. Once the flanking attack was successful, they might be able to force the Soviets to surrender and capture a large number of enemy tanks.
This time, all kinds of Soviet tanks are piled together: BT, T-26, "Giant" KV-2 (remind book friends who have forgotten the plot, the father of the Soviet T-34 was killed by Reinhardt long ago)
).
Once these tanks are captured, a large amount of data will be provided to rear scientific researchers, and the tanks can then be improved in a targeted manner to better restrain the Soviet armored forces.
Under the arrangement and command of the deputy battalion commander, the remaining seventeen tanks of the 1st and 2nd Squadrons of the 602nd Armored Battalion were arranged in a V-shape similar to the wild goose formation in ancient China, taking full advantage of their firepower to block the Soviet tank shock wave.
"Alert!" Calius' commander neatly closed the hatch, and then Calius quickly turned the transceiver to the receiving position, and then pressed his entire face against the observation port next to the machine gun mount.
This small window is now the entire world of Calius!
Directly ahead, a variety of Soviet tanks rushed out, and the Soviet army tried to attack with absolute numerical superiority!
After several rounds of volley fire, the tanks of the 1st and 2nd Squadrons had fallen into the middle of the Soviet tank formation. Now it was a melee, each looking for its own target to shoot, and the nearby tanks could only barely provide some cover.
The leader of the 2nd Squadron hoped that the 3rd and 4th Squadrons that would outflank the flanks would appear as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the 3rd Squadron missed the Soviet anti-tank infantry position and was attacked by anti-tank guns and grenades. Three tanks were interrupted.
Tracks, but still retained combat capabilities, but the entire squadron was held back by this.
The intention of the 4th Squadron was also discovered by the Soviet army, and was blocked by tanks sent out by the Soviet army. The tactical purpose was temporarily unable to be achieved.
After a few more minutes, only 12 tanks of the 1st and 2nd Squadrons were not hit on their tracks, but they were completely surrounded by Soviet tanks. Fortunately, the armor of the Panther tanks was thick enough, and the Soviets except KV
Except for -2 tanks, no tank can penetrate the Panther's armor at a certain distance.
At the same time, the air inside the No. 203 tank where Carlius was located almost reached the ignition point. The commander's monotonous scream, the gunner's slow breathing, the metallic echo of the opening and closing of the gun tail and the harsh whistle from the gun rudder were all in harmony.
Concerto of battle.
He could clearly feel that the battle was becoming more and more intense!
Soon, the Soviet BT and T-26 had turned into piles of scrap metal, but the KV tank rebounded almost all attacks!
"This is Tiger No. 1! All combatants stopped shooting, and the whole team took a detour!" The commander of Calius braved the bullet and wanted to take a risk.
The new Soviet KV-2 tank is good at firing guns at extremely fast speeds. This is an experienced veteran. Here is another squadron command vehicle No. 201 of the German army. First it turned into a ball of fire, and then No. 202
The entire turret was also blown away, but the thick smoke obscured the Soviet army's sight-one opportunity!
Under the command of the commander of car No. 203, three Panther tanks rushed through the front of the new Soviet tank, went around to the side and rear and opened fire at the same time, finally breaking its restricted belt.
What Kalius didn't know was that as early as a week ago, the armored units of Army Group South had experienced the same nightmare - this was the Soviet Army's new KV-2 tank. It is the Soviet Army's latest super tank, and its firepower
, the protection is not as fragile as other plastic tanks.
It's just that the amount of Soviet equipment was too small to pose a serious threat to the German tank force.
But the situation is still urgent. Carius's No. 203 vehicle has temporarily taken over the command, but the remaining tanks have been completely integrated with the Soviet tanks, making it almost impossible to command them.
Gradually, Carlius discovered that the Soviet firepower was weakening.
He also didn’t know that due to the existence of Pavlov, the Soviet “pest general”, the ammunition reserves of the front-line Soviet tanks were seriously insufficient. After a bloody battle, some of the remaining Soviet tanks had no ammunition, and some had no more ammunition.
Only about ten rounds of artillery shells.
The Soviet army was forced to use close-range shooting to save ammunition.
But Carlius saw a loophole in the Soviet firepower, and immediately suggested on the communication channel: "The remaining Panther tanks focus on encircling and destroying the Soviet tanks that can still fire, let go of the Soviet tanks that have no ammunition, and destroy the opponent first."
Available main force!”
At this time, the 3rd and 4th Squadrons finally reached the outflank position. A fierce bombardment came from behind the Soviet army, and several BT-26s immediately turned into fireballs.
After another fierce battle, the 602nd Battalion had less than 30 Leopard tanks that were still mobile. Most of the Soviet BT-26s had been scrapped, and only a few behemoth KV-2s were still running rampant.
"Concentrate your firepower and hit the first vehicle in front first!" Carlius's commander also immediately gave the order.
As a result, several artillery shells from the German army immediately landed on the huge shell of the "Walking Cottage" KV-2 tank.
But it is really difficult for them to shake the mammoth-like body of the KV tank.
At this time, the deputy commander of the 602nd Armored Battalion, who was directing the operation, was about to send a death squad to approach and shoot.
"Wait!" Carlius's voice sounded again in the communication channel.
While Karius was talking, the terrifying KV-2 tank was stuck in the wet grass and couldn't move - it was too heavy!
"Aim for its engine!" Calius shouted again on the communication channel.
There was another volley, and the Germans finally eliminated several KV-2 tanks one by one.
