565th attacked armored battalion
If you have seen the vast plains of Russia, you will not doubt that this is definitely a paradise for any armored force.
In history, Germany blitzed the Soviet Union and later counterattacked Germany, and both used armored troops to collide with the most dazzling war sparks in human history.
Now, Germany has once again stepped on this land they are not familiar with in this parallel space and time, and they still have won a victory worth boasting.
One Opel Lightning next to another was parked on the highway, and a simple forward supply base was already under construction.
On the other side of the remote farm, the pioneer of the German armored forces, the leopard tank of the 505th Heavy Tank Destroyer Battalion, stopped there and waited for news of the attack.
On the way forward of the German army was an elite armored unit of the Soviet Union, as well as about 20,000 Soviet infantry.
These troops came from Minsk and were the last armored force that the Soviet army could assemble nearby.
The opponent's purpose was very clear, and he wanted to stop the German army from continuing to advance, cover up about 400,000 Soviet defeated soldiers around him and gather them near Minsk.
"The order for the attack has come down. We will attack the enemy's defense line on the left wing and cut in from the flank to destroy the enemy's artillery position." The battalion commander said.
"Soldiers of a regiment of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Division will follow us. They are responsible for covering our wings and preventing the enemy from surrounding us." The battalion commander said, pointing to the German armored grenades who were launching the engines of armored vehicles in the distance.
That day, Carlyus still didn't wait for a day. Two hours later, a maintenance force came to help Carlyus repair his tank tracks.
Then Caryus caught up with his troops and returned to the state of assaulting forward.
In just a few days, they first walked around from Tobinka to Cobrin, and then rushed forward to Belloza.
They then caught up with Khrushchev's troops who were retreating north near Ivacevic and defeated the defenders of the troops.
They chased Khrushchev all the way north and were rushing towards the suburbs of Baranovich. They advanced very quickly, even faster than most of the defeated Soviet troops.
The attacking 505 Armored Battalion and the Gudri-Installed Armies did not know that two-thirds of the Soviet troops defeated by them were already behind them at this moment.
"The enemy may have more than ten tanks, so we have to find a way to kill these troops and force them to retreat." On a blank piece of paper, the battalion commander drew a sketch.
Everything before the attack must be carefully arranged, and each tank has corresponding tasks to ensure their attack is successful and effective.
Any little negligence may cause a chain reaction, causing many people who did not need to die to die to be killed on the battlefield.
"The wild bees will fire first, and then we will attack... Stuka is above our heads. If they find the target, they will attack. If they don't find the target, we will find a way to let them discover it!" After pointing to the sky, the battalion commander ended the tactical arrangement.
Then he waved his hand to the Soviet position ahead and issued an attack order: "The attack begins!"
Carlyus' body was not thick, so he nodded, then walked towards the No. 111 tank parked in the distance with his own file bag.
The number of the 1-character turret on the tank hit by the kv-1 tank is still the same, and the black marks on it still look so ferocious.
"Be careful when attacking. We follow the 2nd Company to attack the enemy's tanks!" After buckled his headset, Carlyus ordered loudly: "Start the tank! Let's go!"
"Company 2! We are following you!" The voice of the company commander of the 1st company came from the headphones.
"The communication is maintained well! We hear it very clearly!" The company commander of the 2nd Company responded to the company commander of the 1st Company, and his tank had begun to move forward.
The wide tracks of the leopard tank began to roll forward, and the slender barrel pointed in the direction of the enemy. A battle was about to begin, and everyone became nervous.
The battle started first in the wheat fields. The shells fired by the German wild bee howitzer fell into these wheat fields and exploded one crater after another.
The Soviet army has lost a large number of artillery in the past few days. So now they are not even as good as the German army in the battle of artillery.
Unfortunately, the German wild bee-propelled artillery was actually a small number of treasure objects, so the German army also took the initiative to stop the attack after two rounds of artillery attacks.
In the sky, Stuka bombers formed an attack formation and crossed the German starting position. The German tanks were covered with eye-catching national flags, and some infantry waved to the god of death in the sky.
"The enemy has fired! Be careful!" Seeing the enemy's tracer bullet, Carlyus spoke to remind his friendly forces.
The field of view inside the tank is very narrow, and he can only view what is happening around him through a tiny periscope.
If you happen to look to the left, even if a shell flew to the right, the people in the tank would not notice it.
Therefore, in the eyes of infantry, tanks are very terrifying and sometimes very clumsy.
This is also the reason why the tank must follow the infantry. The importance of the coordination between infantry and tanks is even today, which is against the sky, and is the focus of tactical research in various countries.
"First in front! Machine gun bunker! Machine gun bunker!" In the communication channel inside the car, the electromechanic responsible for heading the machine gun shouted loudly.
He confirmed the target, then pulled the bolt, leaving the mg car machine gun in front of him waiting to be fired.
Then, he aimed at the Soviet machine gun position that was firing, and then pulled the trigger pressed by his fingers.
The tracer bomb flew out of the muzzle, leaving a dazzling mark on the way the tank was advancing.
The bullet hit the machine gun position over there, and a white light smoke was fired at the edge of the opponent's trench.
The electromechanical and mechanical engineer Joseph kept firing until the other party had no power to fight back, and then stopped to change his drum.
All vehicle-mounted machine guns in Germany rely on drums to supply bullets. This is mainly for convenience, because replacing the links in a narrow and bumpy car body is very difficult.
This has something to do with the loading method of the machine gun, because the action of pressing the bullet can be easily achieved only when the loader helps hold the bullet link.
Without the assistance of the deputy shooter, the work of replacing the link will be very troublesome. Unfortunately, the electromechanical and mechanical engineers have to operate the machine gun themselves, so it is more suitable for using the drum.
The Soviet army's defense is solid. These Soviet soldiers are the main forces, not the kind of miscellaneous brands that temporarily piece together the front line and collapse as soon as they rush.
After discovering the German attack, many Soviet tanks rushed out of the forest and began to attack the German tanks.
Suddenly, a shell cut through the air, rubbed the side of a leopard tank, and flew further away.
A kv-1 tank slowly broke a dry tree, revealing its hideous face in front of the German tank troops.
Soon, the second kv-1 tank rushed out, followed by a more majestic T-35 tank.
"I'm really not afraid of death!" Looking at the Soviet tank showing its face, Carlyus smiled and pressed down on the shoulder of his cannon leader Tyr: "Aim at one, and then fire!"
"Stop! Stop!" The German tanks saw their opponents and began to stop and prepare to fire.
During World War II, there was no current artillery stability system, so it was impossible to achieve such high-end technical and tactical actions as firing while marching.
If you want to accurately hit your opponent, you can only stop your tank clumsyly and rely on accurate sights to lock the opponent's tank to launch an attack.
So, when German tanks stopped one after another, the atmosphere on the battlefield suddenly became solemn.
"Boom!" Carlyus's No. 111 tank suddenly opened fire, and then the German tanks following his tank were spraying out of their muzzles.
The power of the 88mm caliber cannon has been tested on the battlefield and is indeed a very effective anti-tank weapon.
The German army stopped the car and fired, and in an instant, dozens of shells were fired. These shells rushed into the dense forest driven by Soviet tanks.
"Boom! Boom!" Soon, the German shells hit their targets. At a normal combat distance of about 800 meters, the hit rate of the German tank shooter was very high.
Because the German sights were very accurate and most of the gunners were well-trained. After one round of fire, Soviet tanks lost a lot.
Seeing a KV-1 tank hit by a German shell, it caught fire and burned on the edge of the forest.
Its gun barrel hangs weakly on one side of the tank, and the explosion just now even opened the hatch door on the tank.
Some Soviet tanks that had no aim or avoided the attack by chance also stopped and opened fire at this time, and shells flew towards the German tanks with roaring.
Unfortunately, these shells cannot destroy the thick armor on the front of the German tank at a distance of about 800 meters.
After a while of attack, the Soviet tanks had to continue driving, hoping to shorten the distance between the two sides so that they could destroy the German tanks.
The Soviet army found that its tanks were ineffective at normal combat distances, and the infantry also retreated towards the forest.
After all, without the cover of the tank, their temporary lines could not withstand the destruction of the opponent's tanks.
"The enemy is retreating, should we speed up the attack?" The company commander of the 1st Company asked the battalion commander of the 505th Battalion on the radio.
