Luca burped and thought the brandy tasted really good. Jonas beside him said, "Luka, did you hear anything?"
Luca tilted his ears, shook his head and said, "Jonas, did you hear wrongly?"
"Yes, I really heard the sound, which seemed to be the sound of a tank's motor, coming from the direction of the Soviet-controlled area."
"The Soviets don't have many tanks, and now our army has the advantage. How can the Soviet army counterattack?"
Although he said this, Luka still pricked up his ears. This time, Luka also heard the sound. Luka's pupils instantly dilated. He raised his telescope and looked at the street in the distance. In the darkness, there were huge black figures.
They are constantly approaching the German positions. These black shadows are advancing extremely fast, and they are getting closer and closer to the German positions.
"That's... a Soviet tank!" Luka was shocked and shouted: "The Soviet army attacks! The Soviet army attacks!"
The next moment, a burst of intensive gunfire rang out from the German position, and they continued to fire towards the front.
Seeing that they had been exposed, Xu Rui simply ordered to turn on the lights of all the tanks and sounded the alarm at the same time. The tanks that were coming like a mountain and a sea swarmed forward. Xu Rui saw that the German position was in panic. Xu Rui knew it in his heart.
My own psychological warfare has worked.
"Fire!"
Xu Rui roared while sitting in the command vehicle.
The next moment, tank shells continued to explode at the German forward positions.
Xu Rui saw that the German army also organized some resistance and used anti-tank rifles and anti-tank guns. However, a small number of anti-tank weapons faced the Soviet tanks advancing like a tide, just like a wave in the sea.
A splash of water disappeared in a moment.
"go ahead!"
Xu Rui shouted loudly.
"go ahead!"
The tank driver drove the tank forward continuously, directly running over the German position and penetrating the German position.
Hundreds of Soviet tanks were seen passing through the German territory, and the German troops were running around. Xu Rui saw that he had penetrated the German forward position, and ignored the scattered German soldiers. The tanks rushed towards the street diagonally ahead.
And go.
The moment the Soviet tanks were about to attack the position, Luka immediately ran to hide in a remote corner nearby. Then, he saw the Soviet tanks swarming forward like giant steel beasts.
However, the Soviet tanks seemed to have no intention of fighting, and did not pursue the scattered German soldiers. Instead, they plunged into the diagonal.
Luka breathed a sigh of relief. The Soviets were really stupid. If they took this opportunity to launch a general offensive, their own defense line would definitely collapse.
Just as he was thinking about it, the sound of a motor came from the distance again, and Luka's heart became relaxed again. He looked into the distance again and saw countless cars rushing over along the road where the tanks were cutting.
The canvas on both sides was opened, and each car was like a moving fortress, with tongues of fire spitting out from both sides, harvesting the lives of the German infantry.
Luka saw that the German army's formation was in chaos at this time, and had become a mess under the sudden mechanized attack of the Soviet army. Although a small number of German troops began to organize resistance, under the large-scale Soviet attack, such resistance was very difficult.
It soon fell into silence.
Luca saw a Soviet car rushing towards him not far away. Luca was shocked and immediately called several German soldiers behind him to escape.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
Bullets continued to spray out from both sides of the carriage, and the muzzle flashes were so dazzling in the dark night. Luka saw that the two soldiers beside him were knocked down by bullets. Luka ran forward with all his strength, trying to escape from Su.
However, in the end, he was hit by several bullets in the back.
Luca fell to the ground, his body constantly shaking. At the end of his life, he couldn't help but wonder why he wanted to participate in this damn war. Next, the car behind him drove forward and crushed the seriously injured Luca.
Under the wheels of the car...
"go ahead!"
The tanks rumbled and marched forward bravely. One tank after another kept moving forward and charging rapidly.
"Commander, the camp in front is where the German anti-tank battalion is stationed!" Shi Xiaoqian said.
"attack!"
Xu Rui roared, and tanks roared towards the German anti-tank infantry battalion. From a distance, Xu Rui saw that the German army was completely unprepared. There were tents standing there, and German soldiers were there.
Sleeping in a tent.
"Come in!"
Xu Rui's command vehicle rushed into the German camp first, and the tank ran directly towards the German tent.
Then, tanks one after another ran towards the German tents. The Germans who reacted quickly rushed out of the tents and ran away, only to be mowed down to the ground by the tanks' on-board machine guns.
Twenty minutes later, a whole German anti-tank battalion of more than 600 people was wiped out except for a few dozen who escaped.
Seeing the German anti-tank battalion being wiped out, Xu Rui breathed a sigh of relief. This anti-tank battalion was a serious problem for Xu Rui's onion-peeling tactics. Without them, the German army would have no way to stop its tank group from attacking.
Xu Rui was very proud. The outermost piece of the onion was finally peeled off. Xu Rui looked at Shi Xiaoqian's map. On this peeled-off German position, there was a heavy tank battalion and a mechanized infantry battalion.
Xu Rui said: "We have penetrated the German army's position. Now, let's eat the nearby heavy tank battalion first!"
"yes!"
The tank rumbled, immediately turned around, and headed straight towards the German heavy tank battalion.
The German 509th Heavy Tank Battalion is attached to the 1st Armored Division. The entire heavy tank battalion has 46 No. 3 heavy tanks and more than 2,000 soldiers.
However, in the previous stage of the German offensive, especially since the attack on Moscow, the 509 Heavy Tank Battalion suffered serious battle damage. Coupled with the severe cold weather, the tank failure rate was very high, especially the engine damage was very serious. This made
There are only about twenty heavy tanks left in the 509th Heavy Tank Battalion that can fight.
The battalion commander, Major Felix, has been scratching his head recently. What he lacks most now is an engine, but new engines from the rear have been delayed in being sent to the front line. This leaves only about half of the combat effectiveness of his unit. If the fight continues, the 509th
The heavy tank battalion is in danger of being wiped out.
Felix has sent many reports to his superiors, but there has been no response.
Felix knew that there was no way around this. The Germans paid attention to precision and had good mechanical processing and manufacturing capabilities. However, it was precisely because they were too precise that although the quality of the products was good, the production speed was slow and the cost was high.
, the cycle is long, especially for precision instruments such as engines, which are even more troublesome to produce, so they have been delayed in getting them ready.
At this time, Felix was thinking about how to carry out the next attack, and at this moment, a German signal soldier ran into the tent.
"Major, the Soviet tanks are coming!" the signal soldier shouted.
"What's wrong with you? The Soviets don't even have enough troops to defend, and they have very few tanks. How could their tanks reach here?"
Felix said in disbelief.
"Major, listen!"
Felix pricked up his ears, and sure enough, he heard the roar of tanks. Felix was shocked. His tanks were all resting. Could it be that the Soviet tanks were really coming?
Felix immediately rushed out of the tent. The next moment, he saw countless tanks with their headlights on, overwhelmingly pressing towards the 509th Heavy Tank Battalion.
"Oh, God!"
Felix couldn't believe his eyes. After confirming that he had seen correctly, he immediately shouted: "All tanks are ready to fight!"
Hundreds of tank soldiers hurriedly ran towards the tank and got into the tank. However, due to the cold weather, one-third of the tanks could not start immediately.
At this moment, the Soviet tanks had already rushed over and swarmed in. The next moment, artillery shells and machine gun bullets rained down on the German camp.
Felix got on a No. 3 tank, and it took a lot of effort to start the tank. Before he could turn the tank around, four or five shells exploded near the tank one after another, and one of the shells exploded right next to the tank.
, overturning the tank directly.
Under the impact of the huge external force, Felix's head hit the tank's instrument, and his face suddenly started to bleed. However, his consciousness was still very clear, and he pushed open the tank's hatch and stumbled out.
The next moment, Felix saw a scene that looked like the end of the world.
Only a dozen No. 3 tanks were seen catching fire one after another, and the remaining dozen No. 3 tanks rushed into the Soviet tank array. Although individually, the No. 3 tanks had a qualitative advantage over the Soviet tanks.
But many ants can kill an elephant. With an absolute numerical advantage, the quality advantage disappears in an instant.
Felix saw that a No. 3 tank destroyed the Soviet tank on the opposite side with one shot, but then a dozen Soviet tanks fired at the No. 3 tank almost at the same time, directly beating the No. 3 tank into pieces.
A burning fireball, the car body was seriously out of shape, and the crew members inside were undoubtedly dead.
Seeing his tanks being blown up one by one, Felix couldn't help shouting to the sky. He knew that his 509th tank battalion was finished. This tank battalion was the main force of the 1st Armored Division. If it was lost, he would inevitably die.
Being dealt with by military law, if so, I have completely lost my dignity as a soldier.
Thinking of this, Felix decided to maintain his last dignity as a soldier. He pulled out the Luger 08 pistol from his waist, pointed it at his temple and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!" A crisp gunshot sounded, and Felix ended his life, defending his dignity as a soldier with action.
"Boom! Boom!"
Artillery shells continued to explode in the German tank array. After ten minutes, more than 20 German tanks were all turned into scrap metal. Many tanks turned into burning living coffins, burning the crew members trapped inside alive. The entire
The 509th Heavy Tank Battalion has become a hell on earth...
