The Third Reich in Desperation

Amidst the singing, Karius returned to his seat and enjoyed the evening rest time with his comrades...

Text 722

On the second day, the motorized infantry division of the 602nd Armored Battalion where Karius was located finally encountered the main force of the Soviet tank group.

The remaining 602 Panther tanks of the 40nd Armored Battalion faced more than 70 Soviet tanks of various types.

Fortunately, the Soviet army did not concentrate its superior armored forces to encircle the tank group of the 602nd Battalion, but launched a frontal attack in the form of a ferocious attack wave.

After several rounds of confrontation, the Leopard tank, whose artillery speed and protection were clearly superior, destroyed more than 10 tanks of the opponent, repelling the Soviet army's first round of shock waves.

However, the 602nd Armored Battalion was not unscathed. At least 3 Leopard tanks were hit on the tracks.

The command tank No. 101 of the German tank battalion commander Konrad was also recognized by the Soviet army. More than a dozen Soviet tanks aimed at it and bombarded it. As a result, the No. 101 Leopard tank was overturned and turned sideways in a crater. , the card owner does not move.

The members of the vehicle crew, including Battalion Commander Conrad, were temporarily unconscious or seriously injured.

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 with serious losses withstood the frontal impact of the Soviet tanks, and the 3rd and 4th Squadrons outflanked the flanks from both sides and fought for Use superior forces to attack the opponent's weak positions."

This is a tactic of Tian Ji's horse racing. The 1st and 2nd squadrons are deadly, 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 lack the experience and courage to deal with surprise flank attacks.Once the outflanking is successful, the Soviets may be forced to surrender again and a large number of enemy tanks will be captured.

This time, all kinds of Soviet tanks were piled together: BT, T-26, and "Giant" KV2 (remind book friends who forgot the plot, the father of the Soviet T-34 was killed by Reinhardt long ago).

Once these tanks are captured, they will be able to provide a large amount of data to rear scientific research personnel, and then improve the tanks in a targeted manner to better restrain the Soviet armored forces.

Under the command of the Deputy Battalion Commander, the remaining 602 tanks of the 1st and 2nd Squadrons of the [-]nd Armored Battalion were lined up in a V-shape similar to the wild goose formation in ancient China.

"Be alert!" Karius' commander quickly closed the hatch, and then Karius quickly switched the transceiver to the receiving position, and then put his entire face on the observation port next to the machine gun mount.

This small window is now the entire world of Karius!

Straight ahead, all kinds of Soviet tanks rushed out one after another, and the Soviet army tried to launch an attack with an absolute superiority in numbers!

After several rounds of volleys, the tanks of 1st and 2nd Squadrons had fallen into the middle of the Soviet tank phalanx. Now it was a melee, each looking for its own target to shoot, and the adjacent tanks could barely do some cover.

The leader of the No. 2 Squadron was looking forward to the appearance of the No. 3 and No. 4 Squadrons outflanking the flanks, but unfortunately, the No. 3 Squadron mistakenly entered the Soviet anti-tank infantry position, and was attacked by anti-tank guns and grenades, and the three tanks were interrupted. Tracks, but still retains combat capabilities, but the entire squadron was dragged down.

The intention of the 4th Squadron was also discovered by the Soviet army, and it was blocked by tanks sent out by the Soviet army, and it was unable to achieve its tactical goal for a while.

After another few minutes, only 1 tanks from the 2st and 12nd Squadrons were not hit by the tracks, but they were completely surrounded by Soviet tanks.Fortunately, the armor of the Leopard tank is thick enough. Except for the KV-2 tank, the Soviet army has no tanks that can penetrate the armor of the Leopard at a certain distance.

At the same time, the air inside the No. 203 Tank Karius was almost reaching the ignition point.The monotonous hissing of the commander, the slow breathing of the gunner, the metal echo of the opening and closing of the breech of the gun, and the piercing whistling of the gun rudder all played the concerto of the battle.

He could clearly feel that the battle was becoming more and more intense!

Soon, the BT and T-26 of the Soviet army turned into piles of scrap iron, but the KV tank rebounded almost all attacks!

"This is Tiger No. 1! All combatants stop shooting, and the whole team turns sideways!" Karius' commander bit the bullet and wanted to take a risk.

The new KV-2 tank of the Soviet army is rampant and good at firing at an extremely fast speed. This is an experienced veteran. Another squadron command vehicle No. 201 on the German side first turned into a ball of fire, and then No. 202 vehicle The turret was also completely blown away, but the thick smoke obscured the sight of the Soviet army—opportunity!

Under the command of the commander of the No. 203 vehicle, three Leopard tanks rushed through the front of the new Soviet tank, circled to the side and rear and fired at the same time, finally interrupting its restriction.

What Karius 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 new Soviet KV-2 tank.It is the latest super tank of the Soviet army. Its firepower and protection are not as fragile as other plastic tanks.

It's just that the amount of Soviet equipment is too small to pose a heavy threat to the German tank troops.

But the situation is still urgent. The No. 203 vehicle in which Karius is located has temporarily taken over the command, but the remaining few tanks have been completely integrated with the Soviet tanks, and it is almost impossible to command them.

Gradually, Karius found that the firepower of the Soviet army weakened.

He still doesn't know that due to the existence of Pavlov, the Soviet "pest general", the ammunition reserves of the front-line Soviet tanks are seriously insufficient.After a bloody battle, some of the remaining Soviet tanks had no ammunition, and most of them had no more than a dozen shells.

The Soviet army was forced to save ammunition only by approaching and shooting.

But Karius saw a loophole in the Soviet firepower, and immediately suggested in the communication channel: "The remaining Leopard 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. The available main force!"

At this moment, the 3rd and 4th Squadrons were finally in place, and a violent bombardment came from behind the Soviet army, and several BT26s immediately turned into fireballs.

After another fierce battle, there were less than 602 Leopard tanks still in the 30nd Battalion, and most of the BT-26s of the Soviet army had been reimbursed, only a few behemoth KV2s were still rampaging.

"Concentrate your firepower and hit the first one in front first!" Karius' commander also immediately gave an order.

As a result, several shells from the German army immediately fell on the huge shell of the "walking hut" 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 battalion commander of the 602 Armored Battalion, who was commanding the operation, just wanted to send a death squad to approach and shoot.

"Wait!" In the communication channel, Karius' voice sounded again.

While Karius was speaking, the terrifying KV2 tank was stuck in the wet grass and couldn't move—it was too heavy!

"Aim for its engine!" Karius yelled over the comm channel again.

So there was another volley, and the German army finally eliminated several KV-2 tanks one by one.

Body 723 Pests of the Soviet Union

Belarus, Minsk.

General Pavlov, who was taking a walk, discussed with his confidant generals: "Zhukov's first move to the Southwest Front Army was to make the troops retreat?"

"Yes, Zhukov was afraid of the enemy's power, took the lead in spreading defeatist speeches, and gave up a large area of ​​land, completely handing over the initiative to the enemy!" Of course, Pavlov's cronies knew what he wanted to hear, and quickly expressed their stance to slander Zhukov road.

Maybe it was because the sunlight reflecting off the snow was too strong, or maybe it was because the words reached Pavlov's heart, so he narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded thoughtfully.

For some reason, Pavlov suddenly remembered the last exercise that had just ended.

It was a chaotic disaster!

In Pavlov's opinion, he had never heard that the red team would lose to the blue team in an exercise.

According to the usual practice, the General Staff notified the blue team played by Zhukov of the deployment plan of the red team under its command.And Wei Kefu, without waiting for the exercise to officially start, pushed his blue troops forward by nearly 100 kilometers and entered the major attack positions in advance.

So, just after the exercise started, Zhukov's blue army completely surrounded the main center line of Pavlov's red army, and quickly completed the tactical task of dividing and strangling.

From Pavlov's point of view, this is simply a foul.No, it was a violation of discipline, a serious violation of discipline!

The purpose of the exercise was to test the Red Army's homeland defense and counter-offensive capabilities from the very beginning. As a result, the Red Army in charge of the defense was surrounded by Zhukov's Blue Army before it launched. What a thing!

"Zhukov, that show-off guy, screwed up the costly and painstakingly organized offensive and defensive exercises of the General Staff. Now, the Germans don't tell him their configuration in advance. So his cleverness is useless , It seems to be normal." Pavlov accused and slandered Zhukov without the slightest concealment.

Of course, such things are nothing new to him.
