USSR 1941

The German tank battalion "rumbling" drove up, and the six "No. 4" vehicles in front took the lead in catching up with the six "No. 3" vehicles that attacked first, and then together with them penetrated deep into the Soviet defense line under the cover of infantry.

The Soviet tanks still fired at the German tank team one after another, but nothing was achieved except destroying a "No. 3".

Then, as soon as the German army was covered by artillery fire, several Soviet tanks were blown up and down and could no longer pose a threat to the German tanks.

Admiral Schweppenburg couldn't help shouting into the walkie-talkie excitedly: "Go forward, speed up! Don't let them slip under our noses again!"

The so-called "slip away" refers to the retreat of the Soviet army again and again.

Admiral Schweppenburg was tired of all this, because every time the Soviet army retreated it was like reshuffle the cards and had to start all over again: anti-tank fire, traps, ambushes by the railway.

Although it remains unchanged, it is like an invisible big hand that keeps the German army out of the line of defense.

If anything, it was a meaningless bit of land, and that land was still full of dead German soldiers and tank wrecks.

Just as Admiral Schweppenburg was flushed with excitement from the impending victory, the communications soldier handed over the microphone and reported: "General, the general is on the phone!"

As soon as Admiral Schweppenburg answered the phone, he heard Guderian's dissatisfied voice on the other end: "What happened? You told me two hours ago that Tula would soon be occupied!"

"Your Excellency, General!" Admiral Schweppenburg replied: "We are about to win. Immediately, our armored battalion has broken into the enemy's line of defense..."

But at this moment, Admiral Schweppenburg suddenly noticed that the speed of the tank battalion on the railway had slowed down.

Regardless of General Guderian who was waiting on the other end of the phone, he raised his binoculars and looked forward, and couldn't help but exclaimed "God!".

It turned out that two behemoths appeared on the other side of the railway at some point... KV heavy tanks.

Don't think about it, they must be ambushing in the tank bunker next to the railway, and they didn't "crawl" out of the bunker until the German tanks were about to drive in front of them.

At this time, the two behemoths slowly drove up the railway, one from the left and the other from the right, heading towards the German tank team. In front of KV's tall body and huge 152MM artillery,

A group of "No. 3" and "No. 4" tanks is almost a group of ants lined up for food.

With a bang, one of the KV tanks opened fire.

Maybe it was luck, or maybe the guns hit the target because they were very close to each other... The leading "No. 3" tank was blown up so that half of the turret was removed, and then a raging fire broke out.

"Retreat, retreat immediately!" Admiral Schweppenburg ordered.

But it was too late to retreat at this time, only to hear a burst of "boom", and several tanks at the end of the team were paralyzed in place by anti-tank hits again.

"Artillery!" Admiral Schweppenburg shouted hysterically:

"Let the artillery take out those damned anti-tank guns!"

"Order the sappers to clear the road and get the tanks out!"

"Blow up the Russian tanks, don't let them come up!"

...

Guderian on the other end has hung up the phone because he already knows the result.

Guderian guessed right, although Admiral Schweppenburg issued a series of orders, and these orders are indeed feasible.

But the problem is that there will not be so much reaction time for the German army on the battlefield...

Before the German army responded, the tragedy of the German tank battalion had already begun:

The KV2 tank is slowly approaching, unhurriedly, and then at close range...to be exact, face to face, the huge barrel is aimed at the turret of the "No. Was sent flying.

KV2 pushed the wreckage of the tank with only the car body off the railway and continued to move forward with its huge body.

The German tanks were in a mess, those reversing, rushing to the side of the railroad track to avoid, collided with each other and crowded together, and some tanks adjusted the angle of their tank guns and fired at KV, but the tank guns of "No. 3" and "No. 4" For KV2, it's like scratching an itch... The frontal armor of KV is a perverted 110MM. You must know that the armor of the famous "Tiger" tank in the German army, which was only in service for 42 years, is only 102MM thick.

However, the problem caused by the heavy armor is that its engine is overwhelmed, and a KV is lying down.

However, this does not affect it to continue firing at the German tanks... To be precise, the German tank group, at this time they have gathered together, as long as they fire in a large direction, they can always destroy anything.

Another KV crossed it and continued its journey, driving the German tanks off the railway one by one like ducks, including a few "No. 2" tanks, let alone...directly drive up It was crushed into iron sheets with the sound of steel crumbling.

The German infantry in charge of covering wanted to rush up to block KV2, but this was obviously in vain... Leaving aside the firepower of the Soviet army on the railway flank, KV itself is equipped with three machine guns, not to mention the KV2. It is said that the German army seemed to use explosives on the battlefield. It failed to blow it up.

The German tank soldiers realized that there was only a dead end if this went on, so they lifted the hatch cover and escaped from the tank.

Of course, before leaving, they did not forget to throw a grenade into the tank to blow it up... Never leave the tank to the enemy. This is the issue emphasized in the first lesson of the German tank soldiers' training.

Therefore, most of the tank battalions of the German army were blown up by themselves.

Admiral Schweppenburg looked at all this dumbfounded, and then looked at the phone in the direction of the communication soldier... He no longer knew how to explain all this to Guderian.

The Soviet army on the other end cheered.

Several subordinates even ran to Shulka and hugged him tightly.

"We're victorious again! I'm not surprised at all, Comrade Captain!"

"Yes, we will continue to win!"

"They should have sent you to defend Moscow long ago, Comrade Captain!"

...

Shulka can understand their feelings. In their view, it is not difficult to defeat the German army again and again, at least for now.

As a result, they naturally entered a kind of inertial thinking, that is, they got used to such a victory and thought that it would develop like this later.

But Shulka didn't think so, because he knew that the Soviet army's anti-tank firepower was almost exhausted, whether it was anti-tank guns or tanks, but the German losses were only the tip of the iceberg.

At that time, that is, when the firepower of the anti-tank artillery is completely exhausted, what should be used to block the enemy's attack?

Dynamite pack?

Cluster grenades?

Or a Motorov cocktail?
