The decisive battle against the Third Reich

The air is filled with tank exhaust, and the tank tracks make a sound on the grassland. All you can see are Soviet tanks. The leading ones still have red flags on the turrets, fluttering in the wind. It's so majestic. It's really in Qinchuan. A drama of "Steel Torrent" was performed in front of us.

"Armored troops, prepare!" Albridge gave the battle order.

The German tanks adjusted the angle of their turrets one by one, like hunters aiming their muzzles at their prey.

"Fire!"

Following Olbridge's order, the German tanks roared towards the Soviet tank group one after another.

At this time, the German "Plank IV" tank was equipped with a long-barreled 75MM caliber anti-tank gun... It is actually somewhat different from the anti-tank gun PAK40.

The difference is that if an anti-tank gun is used as an anti-tank gun for infantry, there will be sufficient space behind it, so the shell can be made very long...longer shells also mean that more gunpowder can be loaded and the warhead It can hit farther and penetrate deeper at the same time.

But this is not the case if this anti-tank gun is installed in a tank... The space in the tank is limited, and a shell that is too long will not only affect the operation, but also require a longer length for recoil.

Therefore, it was necessary to make appropriate modifications, that is, to shorten the recoil mechanism and shorten the shell, and gave this gun a new name KWK40.

Because the shells have short charges and less ammunition, the "No. 4" tank gun does not have the PAK40's ability to penetrate 102MM at a distance of 1,500 meters. Its penetration depth at 1,500 meters and 1,000 meters is 77MM and 85MM respectively.

But this kind of penetration is enough to destroy the T34, which has only 45MM armor thickness on the front.

One T34 after another stopped and emitted black smoke under the attack of German artillery. The HS129 in the air also dived down again and again to fire a series of shells at the tanks... After a while, the plain was full of tanks. Wrecks, malfunctions, burning, and even explosions that broke into pieces.

But the torrent of Soviet tanks were not deterred by this loss. They continued to bypass the tank wreckage in front and continued to advance forward, although this would slow them down and sometimes even expose their side armor to the enemy. in front of the muzzle.

Gradually, the Soviet tank group approached the German defense line.

After all, the Soviet army had a numerical advantage, and since it was advancing at full speed towards the German army, the German army only had a few minutes to react.

"Lieutenant Colonel!" Eberhard glanced nervously at Qin Chuan.

Qinchuan knew what Eberhard meant. The enemy tank forward had approached 800 meters, and it was time for the 1st Infantry Regiment to take action.

But Qin Chuan did not do this because he noticed that this wave of tanks only had more than a hundred tanks, and more than forty tanks were destroyed during the charge.

If the fight continues like this, there will be very few of these forty tanks left even if they rush in front of the German tanks... There is no need for ME63 to take action at all.

Qin Chuan believed that the Soviet offensive would not be that simple.

Therefore, he did not respond to Eberhard, but just raised his telescope and looked across the plain to the opposite side.

Sure enough, after a while, another batch of tanks appeared in the aperture of Qinchuan's telescope, one after another, so dense that one could not see the end.

"Here we come!" Qin Chuan said.

This wave is the main force of Soviet tanks.

The Soviets were very smart. If they put all the tanks in at once, it would cause the tanks to be too dense.

Not only will this make the tank easily covered or killed by enemy fire, but the wreckage of the destroyed tank in front will also block the tank's path and cause a blockage... In the case where the long-distance penetration is not as deep as the opponent's and the number is superior, Su What the army hopes more is that its own tanks can rush into the opponent's tank group for close combat.

Once a blockage occurs, it will be fatal to Soviet tanks.

Therefore, attacking in batches is a better choice.

"Get ready for battle!" Qin Chuan ordered: "Try to choose a target one thousand meters away!"

"Prepare for battle, target one thousand meters!"

"Prepare for battle, target one thousand meters!"

…

The orders were passed down one after another.

At 1,500 meters, the Soviet tank group was getting faster and faster.

Due to the opening and obstruction of the tanks ahead, it was even difficult for the German tank crews to detect or target them... The tank crew's field of vision in the tank cabin was originally limited, and there was the interference of the first wave of tanks and wreckage. They even did not wait until this time There was no sign of another wave of Soviet tanks coming toward them.

At 1,300 meters, the Soviet tank group has stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.

This is the case when marching on snow. It takes a certain distance to accelerate, otherwise the track will slip on the snow without a significant increase in speed.

The Soviet army was obviously very experienced in this area, so it allowed the first wave of tanks to cover the front while the main force could follow closely behind and attack at high speed.

1000 meters.

At this time, the German tanks seemed to find more tanks behind them, and they quickly started to commotion... Everyone knows that with so many tanks and such close distances, a tank "hand-to-hand battle" seems inevitable.

At this moment, Qin Chuan shouted into the walkie-talkie: "Let go!"

"Whizzing"

With the unique whistling sound of rockets, each ME63 headed straight towards the target with a long trail.

The ME63 obviously had no problem with tank vision, so they could easily observe, find and select their targets.

There was even some coordination between them... There was a possibility that several operators would select the same target at the same time, which was a waste. This had been solved during training. They should first solve the target in front of them.

The wind was strong on the plain, causing the ME63 to sway while moving.

According to common sense, they should have deviated from the target long ago, but under the control of the operators, they were "pulled" back again and again and went straight to the Soviet tanks... This scene stunned everyone, including the German soldiers.

They couldn't believe that there were any shells that could adjust their trajectory during flight. This was simply a fantasy.

But this was the fact, because at this moment, the ME63 had accurately hit the tanks one by one and burst into a cloud of smoke, and then the tanks slid forward for a while and stopped moving.

Qin Chuan roughly calculated that the hit rate was much better than expected... 20 ME63s hit 8 tanks, which was even higher than the one-third hit rate during the exercise.

Qin Chuan thought that this might be because the operators were camouflaged with white cloth and connected to the white snow.

Of course, another reason was that the Soviet army did not know that these rockets were controlled by operators, so they did not know how to suppress them.

But in any case, the Soviet army was doomed to lose this battle... Their nightmare had just begun.
