USSR 1941

Chapter 279 Annihilation

"What'T34' unit!" Major General Andreas retorted: "Are you frightened by the enemy? The 'T34' unit is in Volokolamsk!"

"No, General!" the commander of the tank battalion replied loudly: "They are right in front of us, in fact, they are on our flanks..."

Before the words fell, there were a few cannon shots, and there was only a noise in the walkie-talkie. "www.sLZWw New "Thinking" Road" Chinese "Wen" Network"

Shulka followed the tank with his men.

A tank battalion of more than thirty tanks that came up from the German army was quickly wiped out.

This is not only a problem of protection and firepower, but also that German tanks are concentrated on the middle road and cannot move.

It is not an exaggeration to use the word "immobilized" to describe them. Their front, left, and right sides are all minefields. This tank battalion should not have rushed forward so recklessly.

However, this does not seem to make much difference, because the entire German 3rd Panzer Division is in a minefield.

Under the leadership of the demining tanks, the Soviet Army can outflank the roads and railways at will, change direction, and shoot the flares to the middle, and then adjust the muzzle to hit the enemy tanks in the middle one after another...

The German tanks, which basically lost their maneuverability, could only turn chaotically and anxiously on the road. They wanted to face the enemy with their frontal armor... This is the basic principle of tank combat.

But this effort is obviously futile, because the T34 tank can easily penetrate its frontal armor at a long distance, so there is actually not much difference between the frontal armor and the side armor. If there is any difference, it is that the side armor is larger Easy to hit.

With a "boom", the No. 239 tank fired a shell.

It uses grenades. Tank combat does not necessarily require the use of armor-piercing projectiles. For example, when facing the back or side armor of an enemy tank, using grenades at the position of the target engine can often have a good effect.

German tanks use gasoline engines. If they are hit, they are easily ignited and then explode. This causes much more damage than armor-piercing projectiles.

Just like it is now, a "Phase III" tank will be ignited as soon as a grenade goes over... The Soviet army is outflanking the German army from both sides of the road. If the German army wants to face one side, it must face the rear armor. The other side.

So, just listening to the sound of "boom", the tank burst into flames in an instant,

In a matter of seconds, it gets hotter and hotter and the whole thing turns into a ball of fire.

The flame instantly illuminated other tanks, and even due to the problem of "darkness under the lights", the German tank crew under the flame could not even see the T34 in the dark.

As a result, needless to say, the tanks were destroyed one by one by the Soviet army, as if they were lined up on the road waiting to be shot.

But this is just the beginning.

The T34 ignored the German soldiers who were huddled around the wreckage of the tank... Their target is not infantry, but enemy tanks. If the enemy's tanks that are too lazy to attack are destroyed, the German infantry is like a tiger whose teeth have been pulled out. It's easy to deal with.

What's more, this area is a minefield, densely covered with mines, and the German infantry can be said to be unable to move an inch.

Major General Andreas realized that something was wrong at this time. Although he still didn't understand the situation at this time, he was already aware of the danger.

"The second battalion covers, the third battalion retreats immediately!" Major General Andreas ordered.

The tank units of the 3rd Armored Division advanced along the road in the order of the first battalion, the second battalion, and the third battalion. If they want to retreat at this time, they must go back in reverse.

The order of the third battalion to retreat was easy to execute. The German engineers cleared the road and it was quite spacious, and the tanks could turn around on the road.

The cover of the second battalion was difficult. The road was spacious for marching or turning around, but it was just a narrow passage for combat, and the tanks could not be deployed at all.

Major Paul, the battalion commander of the Second Battalion, is an experienced veteran. When his subordinates were at a loss, he gave a firm order: "Start the battle formation, and leave the mines alone!"

"But the major!" the subordinate replied: "We will be blown up by the mines!"

"Those are all anti-personnel mines!" Major Paul replied. "No anti-tank mines are planted on the roadside...they only damage the tracks at most!"

"Yes, Major!" The subordinates responded and drove the tanks off the road to form a circle to cover each other.

Sure enough, most of the landmines on both sides of the road were wooden shell mines, and those mines made a "bang bang" explosion sound under the tank's tracks, like setting off firecrackers.

Soon, the tracks of several tanks were blown off... This is related to the long march of German tanks, and the tracks of tanks need to be maintained every time they march a certain distance.

At this time, the German tanks hadn't stopped for a whole day, and when they were blown up by a few mines, they couldn't bear the breakage and couldn't move.

But even so, it was in much better condition than the previous 1st Panzer Battalion. They lined up back to back and waited for the enemy to arrive.

Then the surrounding area became quiet, except for the sound of tank motors, there was only the sound of a loudspeaker on a telegraph pole a few hundred meters away: "Hitler made a wrong calculation. He thought we were weak and vulnerable. They want to destroy the Soviet Union in a month and a half to two months, but in the past four months of war, our army has held back their attacks despite heavy casualties..."

The Germans called the horns on the telegraph poles "Stalin's Mouth". They were everywhere in the Soviet Union, and they would carry out propaganda at any time. The first thing the Germans often did after capturing a place was to dismantle and destroy them. Or control.

Then the "rumbling" sound of the motor soon sounded from the darkness.

"Flare!" Major Paul ordered.

The flares were shot out around the location of the German army, and then released light in the air to illuminate the surrounding...

Teams of T34s soon appeared in front of them, led by some strange tanks with rollers, they rolled a passage through the snow and went straight to the 2nd Armored Battalion.

"Fire!" Major Paul ordered.

"Boom" the German tanks adjusted their turrets one after another and fired at the target.

But unfortunately, at a distance of more than two hundred meters, the German tanks are not enough to penetrate the frontal armor of the enemy tanks.

Major Paul wanted the enemy tanks to move on, but the T34s stopped one after another, and then aimed at the German tanks behind the stabilizer guns.

So Major Paul knew that his troops were doomed... Unless he could rush into the enemy tank 100 meters away, he could only be targeted by T34.

However, it is basically impossible to rush into the enemy at a distance of 100 meters in this minefield.
