When Xu Rui came to the tank camp and saw that all the tanks in this tank camp were the latest Soviet T-34 tanks, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Crew and cargo: 4 people, length: 6.75 meters, width: 3 meters, height: 2.45 meters, total combat weight: 30,900 kilograms, maximum speed: 55 kilometers/hour, maximum range: 465 kilometers.
Under the current circumstances, this tank is definitely the most advanced among the Soviet tanks in service. In the attack last night, Xu Rui lost eight or nine of the 200 tanks under his command, and now, with this T-
34 Tank Battalion, Xu Rui's armored rapid assault force has greatly increased its strength.
Obtaining this new force gave Xu Rui more confidence, and he immediately incorporated this force into his own armored assault force.
Unknowingly, night has slowly fallen.
The armored assault force, which had rested for a day, was once again ready for action. Everyone came to the tank and was ready for action.
After the day's maintenance, the tanks were completely fine. Each tank was filled with fuel. At the same time, the maintenance of 200 GAZ-3 trucks was also completed. All members of the armored assault force had a day's rest.
, each one was full of energy and full of energy.
Xu Rui came to the team and looked at the two hundred GAZ 3 cars. He was very emotional. Speaking of which, the Soviet Union was developing really fast. They introduced American automobile production lines in the 1920s, and it only took more than ten years.
, established its own automobile industry. According to what I know, by 1940 the Soviets could produce 140,000 cars per year, while at the same time, China could not produce even one car. The gap between the two was too big
Too huge.
It seems that there is still a long way to go before China becomes prosperous and strong.
Looking at these tanks and cars, Xu Rui was filled with emotions. Is it really going to take decades for China to become one of the world powers?
"Comrade Xu Rui, the tank troops are ready." Zyuganov said.
"The independent regiment has also been prepared," Kirilenko also said.
Xu Rui looked at the four thousand soldiers under his command and said, "Tonight's operation will start at nineteen o'clock."
"Why wait until nineteen o'clock?" Zyuganov asked puzzledly.
Before he finished speaking, he saw countless meteors streaking across the sky. These meteors made a sharp whistling sound and were like thunder, striking towards the front of the German position on the opposite side.
The next moment, the German forward position turned into a sea of fire, and a series of explosions sounded.
The Soviet artillery fired for twenty minutes. Xu Rui calculated that within twenty minutes, the Soviet army fired at least a thousand large-caliber artillery shells. These shells caused an explosion like firecrackers in front of the German position.
, Xu Rui knew that it was the explosion sound of a German mine being detonated.
"Boom...boom..."
Twenty minutes later, the German position became quiet, but it was already a mess. Thousands of Soviet artillery shells fell in the small space at the German front, dealing a heavy blow to the Germans. Thousands of Germans were involved in this wave of attacks.
He was killed and injured in the bombing.
At the same time, the German forward positions were completely plowed by artillery fire, large areas of frozen soil were blasted open, and the Soviet army used artillery shells to carve out a path forward.
"Everyone get on board and prepare to attack!"
Xu Rui was the first to enter the armored command vehicle. Then, four thousand Soviet soldiers entered the tanks and cars one after another and charged towards the German positions...
The German positions were under heavy artillery fire.
After rolling through a foxhole, Soldier Paul ran towards a machine gun nest in the distance.
"boom!"
A cannonball exploded next to him. Paul was blown up by the blast of air more than two meters high, and then fell heavily to the ground.
The splashing mud was like rocks, and the helmet on Paul's head crackled loudly. Paul fell heavily to the ground, hurting all over his body from the fall. It took him a long time to get up, and rolled into a crater. In terms of the probability of the shells,
The possibility of two shells landing in the same place is extremely slim, so the crater becomes the best bunker.
Paul looked forward and saw that in the machine gun nest not far away, the general-purpose machine gun had been blown into parts, with half of its head hanging on the barrel of the machine gun.
Seeing this bloody scene, Paul felt like vomiting.
"boom!"
There was another loud noise, and Paul was once again lifted away by the huge air wave of the explosion, and then fell to the ground.
It must be said that Paul was very lucky. He was blown away by two explosions, but he did not suffer any injuries. His only eardrums buzzed and he couldn't hear anything clearly for a while.
After a while, the artillery fire finally subsided, but the ground began to tremble, like an earthquake.
At this time, Paul heard a second lieutenant next to him yelling at him. Paul looked at the second lieutenant blankly, unable to hear anything, and had no idea what the second lieutenant was saying.
For a long time, he looked in the direction pointed by the second lieutenant. The next moment, Paul's heart was beating wildly. On the empty street in the distance, countless tanks rolled up the flying snow and billowed thick smoke, heading towards where he was.
The position came flying forward.
Paul immediately stood up and ran to an anti-tank infantry gun. This anti-tank infantry gun was specially sent to the forward position by General Holt in order to prevent the Soviet armored forces.
Paul stumbled to the anti-tank infantry gun, loaded a shell into the cannon, and fired with a "boom".
However, this shell failed to hit the Soviet tank on the opposite side. Instead, it attracted the attention of the Soviet army. Two Soviet tanks attacked the anti-tank infantry gun almost simultaneously.
"boom!"
He felt a huge wave of air coming, and Paul was blown away. When he stood up, he was surprised to find that the anti-tank gun had been blown over and the barrel had been somewhat deformed.
Later, Paul saw a large group of Soviet tanks in the distance swarming toward the front like locusts...
"Forward!" Xu Rui shouted, as more than 200 tanks beside him rushed toward the German position.
It has to be said that bombarding the minefields laid by the enemy with artillery fire is very effective. After the carpet fire coverage of the cannon, it opens up a way forward for the Xu Rui tank unit's attack.
At this time, the German army was still reeling from the aftermath of the explosion. Taking advantage of this gap, Xu Rui's tank troops rushed forward and rushed into the German position.
Next, under the constant bombardment and strafing of Soviet tank guns and vehicle-mounted machine guns, the German troops continued to fall, and the entire German forward position had been cut to pieces.
The tank did not stop, but kept moving forward. In Xu Rui's plan, this would be a perfect flanking attack on the German 3rd Armored Group with the tank as the blade. Xu Rui's target was an infantry division.
He wanted to separate the forward German 205th Infantry Division from the 3rd Armored Army's camp and finally annihilate it.
This is what Xu Rui thought and did. The tanks surged forward, cutting the German positions into pieces. The German troops fled in all directions, and then, the three thousand infantrymen in trucks who followed the tanks clung to the sides of the carriage.
The remaining German soldiers were constantly sprayed with bullets. Where the convoy passed by, German corpses were strewn across the field. There were corpses of German soldiers killed by shells and bullets everywhere.
After the second wave of Soviet armed trucks passed by, the Soviet infantry rushed up, but they were already greeted by corpses on the ground. Only some lucky Germans who escaped the net had some brief battles with them.
And Paul was among those who slipped through the net.
At this time, Paul and a dozen German soldiers were hiding in a secluded corner, surrounded by Soviet troops. Paul couldn't help but wonder, how could he escape from the Soviet-controlled area?
Paul and a dozen German soldiers hid on the second floor of a building. They heard the noisy shouts of Soviet troops outside. Then, a group of Soviet soldiers rushed into the building, and several Soviet soldiers went up to the second floor.
, I was seeing a dozen German soldiers on the second floor.
The German soldiers immediately raised their guns and fired. Gunfire rang out and two Soviet soldiers were killed.
When Paul saw it, he knew that it was all over now. The dozen or so people on his side had been exposed and they might not be able to escape the murderous hands of the Soviet army.
When they heard the sound of gunshots upstairs, the bodies of their comrades rolled down the stairs, and the Soviet troops downstairs exploded, they did not rush in forcefully, but just brought in a few mortars and blasted the building.
The moment before the building collapsed, Paul jumped out of the window at the back of the second floor. After landing, Paul rolled on the ground and hit his head and arm on a large rock. The next moment, Paul didn't know anything.
When Paul woke up, there was silence all around. Paul struggled to get up and raised his arms. Only then did Paul realize that the bones of his left arm had been broken.
Paul found a broken gun barrel and tied it to his broken arm with a leggings cloth. Then he carefully raised his head. He saw Soviet soldiers walking around on the street from time to time, and gunfire occasionally rang out.
.
At this time, Paul saw a group of Soviet soldiers capture a German soldier, and then a Soviet soldier questioned the soldier in blunt German.
The soldier turned his head to the side and said nothing. The Soviet army couldn't answer any questions and pushed the German soldier against the wall. Then, a Soviet soldier beat the German soldier into a sieve with a Bobosha submachine gun.
.
Seeing this scene, Paul was frightened. Paul was only nineteen years old today, and he was still a just-grown-up child. The reason why he joined the army was because of his fanatical admiration for the Führer.
In the hearts of young people like him, the German head of state is like a savior. It is precisely because of his appearance that Germany became rich and powerful from a defeated country in World War I. Not only did it regain the land it had been deprived of, but it also greatly improved the country's
Strength has allowed the Germans to live a prosperous life.
It was precisely because of this mentality that Paul joined the army with enthusiasm and became a private in the army. In Paul's view, joining the army was undoubtedly the way to fulfill his heroic dream, and Germany was invincible.
