Why not fight? The reason is very simple. This is just a small fire reconnaissance force of the enemy. What impact can they have even if they break through? You must wait for the enemy's main force to follow up and take them into full force.

Sure enough, after probing a path, the subsequent German armored grenades immediately advanced in this direction, and a whole battalion of enemies appeared opposite the armored train.

At this moment, the superior finally issued an order to open fire. In an instant, howitzers, mortars and light and heavy machine guns opened fire together, and countless bullets covered the German army's face.

In just one round, more than twenty armored grenades were killed. Of course, the Germans were not 25. Soon, they adjusted their deployment, sought cover, and called for fire support.

"Transfer the position, hurry up! The German shells are coming soon!"

The artillery battalion commander kept holding the butts of the soldiers and urged them to move quickly. This was also the most difficult time for the artillery. It was okay for the mortar to put away the cannon body, carry the board and run. For howitzers, this process was more painful. The last gunners took action together, first digging out the hoe, then lifting the cannon stand and pushing the running wheel. Heyyouheheyou worked hard together and used human power to push the cannon off the position.

In less than ten minutes, the German artillery counterattack arrived, and the killing bombs and high-explosion bombs knocked the Red Army's artillery positions into dust. At the same time, the German grenades and tanks who had previously shrunk their heads began to become active again, and took advantage of the suppression of the Red Army's artillery and began to quickly penetrate forward.

"Stop your anger and listen to my orders!"

After learning from the last lesson, the company commander kept reminding his recruits not to fire. He kept putting the enemy at a distance of about 200 meters before he decisively ordered: "No recoil cannon, release it!"

The 100mm recoilless gunner had already put the German tank into the scope. While estimating the distance and wind direction, they lowered the frequency of breathing until they heard the order to open fire, they fired it!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The rockets spewed out flames and whistled towards the German tanks No. 2 and No. 3. The hollow-loaded armor-breaking bomb easily tore open the fragile armor of the German tanks. All objects blocking the jet would be destroyed, and even a pair of piercings were hit.

The ignited hydraulic oil in the No. 3 tank began to burn, and soon the gasoline pipeline and the launching medicine of the shell began to be ignited. A few minutes later, with a loud bang, the turret soared into the sky, and the crew members who were still trying to fight with the flames with fire extinguishers were undoubtedly the exception.

This is not an isolated case. The first wave of German tanks covering grenades rushing through the attack all enjoyed the greetings of the Red Army's recoilless cannons. Most of them were directly destroyed, and the other half tried to use artillery and machine guns to eliminate the Red Army's recoilless cannons. However, the effect was not obvious. Because at most two fires, the Red Army's recoilless cannons would be transferred immediately. This very light artillery is particularly suitable for this tactic of running after firing.

In desperation, the armored grenadiers could only call for artillery fire support again. The first-level mortars assigned to their battalions began to fire, trying to suppress or eliminate the Red Army's recoilless guns, but the results were slightly better. Instead, they exposed their positions. Soon howitzers and cannons, which acted as anti-artillery missions in the Red Army, began to fire violently, driving the German mortars into chaos.

Immediately afterwards, the Red Army's infantry began to counterattack, easily driving the German devils out of their territory. They even repaired the barbed wire and rebuilt mines, which also declared that the German army had been in vain all morning.

Guderian, who was watching the battle on the front line, changed his face. It was not that the attack effect made him dissatisfied. Although he was indeed dissatisfied, his dissatisfaction was more directed at the German intelligence agencies. Before the war began, the Gestapo said that the Red Army had low combat effectiveness, and both officers and soldiers were a group of reckless men. As for the Red Army's technical weapons, such as aircraft, and tanks, they didn't take it seriously at all. They took it for granted that Russian tanks and aircraft were worse than their own.

What happened? As soon as the battle broke out, the armored troops suffered a great loss. They had no advantage in the face of the BT5 and BT7, which were ready to be eliminated in the Red Army. They had almost no power to fight back when they hit T34 and T35. As for the more awesome T54, they could only run away and call the Air Force's Stuka to support them with great silence.

Guderian is already familiar with these situations. As the saying goes, life is like a strong woman who can't resist, so you can only enjoy it. Anyway, after the strong woman who has been in the Red Army's armored forces for the past two months, Guderian does not say enjoyment, at least he can get used to it. He has accepted the result that his tank is inferior to his opponent.

But today, the tank monster was angry again, because the Gestapo not only did not understand the technical performance of Soviet tanks, but also had not observed new changes in the Red Army's anti-tank capabilities. Compared with Germany's 37mm war defense gun, the enemy's 100mm recoil-free gun was lighter and more powerful. There were fewer team members needed. Especially for that power, any German tank was hit, it would definitely be done, and there was even a great chance of a single shot running through.

Compared with the 100mm recoilless cannon, the 37mm war defense cannon can only be heard. In addition to being able to hit BT5 and BT7, it is no threat to the Red Army's T34 and T35. Do you think this is so popular that people are more angry?

"Call for the Air Force to support." Guderian knew that his armored troops would probably not be able to deal with the enemy. After all, after this round of confrontation, no enemy tanks appeared.

Two hours later, a squadron of Stuka arrived at the battlefield. After contacting the ground forces, a new round of German offensive began. It was still a small group of fire reconnaissance troops who explored the way. After clearing the obstacles, grenadiers and tanks followed.

Anyway, the routine was almost the same as the previous one. The only difference was that when the Red Army's deep artillery began to operate anti-artillery, Stukas seemed to smell a bloody jackal, and they turned sideways and began to dive towards the Red Army's deep artillery position.

Guderian witnessed this scene in a telescope. Generally speaking, as long as Stuka enters dive and drops a bomb smoothly, the enemy's target will be destroyed. Without the enemy's support from deep artillery fire. The Russians will soon be defeated by skilled German armored grenadiers.

But this time the situation was different. When Stuka started diving, a large number of anti-aircraft guns suddenly appeared on both sides of the Red Army's artillery positions. The 20mm 37mm undone disguised and fired violently. The rain of bullets sent the most sincere greetings to Stukas.

There were shells constantly exploding in the sky, red and black, which was spectacular, but the Stukas were not particularly worried. Because this was just a small scene for them, they had encountered larger caliber anti-aircraft guns gathering fire and shooting.

Just as the Stukas were about to enter the final bomb drop route and blow the enemy below to pieces, a unique whistling sound rang out, like something was spinning at high speed. Before the Stukas could react, countless rain of bullets came to their faces.

They had never seen such a rain of bullets before, and they couldn't even believe that there was such a firepower intensity in this world. According to their guess, did the Russians have arranged hundreds of anti-aircraft guns there?

Hehe, there are not hundreds of gates. It is only six gates. The land-based version of the ak630 carried by the camel truck camel showed its hideous fangs in front of Stuka for the first time. Under the instructions of the fire-controlled radar, it easily captured Stuka's whereabouts and sent the strongest greetings with a series of shells.

The first two Stukas that began to dive were quickly exploded in the air and turned into dazzling fireballs. The friendly aircraft following closely behind were unable to maintain the established route and struggled to death in the rain of bullets. Soon after, as the ak630's fire rate became faster and faster, the ammunition was sprayed out more and more, and half of the sky was covered with shells.

Such a powerful fire net is not something that Stuka can escape. One after another, one Stuka was hit, and the more unlucky one would disintegrate directly in the air. Only when you are lucky can you escape with scars on your body and your tail.

Guderian couldn't believe his eyes. Did the damn Bolshevik devil set up an anti-aircraft gunner in front? Otherwise, where would such fierce firepower come from?

Some comrades may ask, since ak630 is so powerful, why didn’t the Red Army use it before? It’s not that they don’t want to use it, but they can’t afford it. The entire system of ak630 is too heavy to be used as a field air defense cannon. It is generally installed at airports or fortresses as air defense firepower in key areas.

Moreover, an AK630 system includes six artillery, replenishment vehicles, search radars, and fire control radars. The price is not affordable by the local Red Army Army. Therefore, most of these AK630s are installed in important places, such as Moscow Red Square, Leningrad, airports, ports and several key fortresses, including Brest Fortress.

After Lujin discovered these treasures in Brest, he naturally had to use them, so he used them to escort the artillery.

The stupid German guy didn't know the existence of the ak630 at all. He just ran into it and got Stuka diving bombs. To be honest, if it were a medium bomber, the loss might not be that great.

ak630 shot down six Stukas on the spot and injured several of them. More importantly, the Luftwaffe returned empty-handedly, which also led to the attacking German ground forces being exposed to the firepower of the Red Army's deep artillery, and this time the losses were even worse than in the morning.

The Germans fled again with their tails stomped, and the Red Army soldiers were very excited because before, the Germans left them with profound reflections, and a considerable number of them suffered from German phobia. Now, they have broken the myth of the invincible German army with practical actions, which greatly boosted morale.

Perhaps the only thing that was complaining was the armored train. The young comrade had nothing to do all day and could only watch the artillery and infantry comrades eat meat, but they didn't even have the chance to drink soup.

Anyway, the armored train had a lot of opinions, and even once suggested that the battalion commander take the initiative to attack and give the Germans a little color. However, he was quickly sprayed with saliva by the battalion commander: "Get out, let me hear you come up with such a bad idea, you, the platoon leader, don't have to do it!"

At that time, the armored train did not understand and thought it was his talent no one appreciated it, but later the cruel battle told him that the battalion commander's decision was correct.

Yes, the German attack was successfully repelled on the first day, but this does not mean that the Germans will stop the next day. On the contrary, in order to win the war, the Germans will continue to fight. What's more, their commander is the tank monster Guderian.

It goes without saying that Guderian's level is naturally. Although the Red Army on the opposite side surprised him. Although the battle on the first day was almost a mess, he still thought that he could take Brest soon because the reason was very simple, and he was full of confidence in himself and his troops.

"Tomorrow, the Third Armored Division, the Fourth Armored Division and the Tenth Armored Division each invest a regiment and launch an attack from three directions. My requirement is to insert it quickly and decisively, and it is best to break through their positions before the Russians react!"

In order to achieve Guderian's request, the second tank cluster conducted reconnaissance at night and initially found out some of the Red Army's defense configurations and minefields. Before dawn, a considerable number of engineers had entered the frontier of the Red Army's positions and destroyed some of the defense facilities. After dawn, the German tanks quickly broke in and reached the first line of defense of the Red Army in one breath. A close combat broke out between the two sides.

"Assembled urgently, the first company went to the position No. 17, and the remaining troops followed me to the position No. 5. A considerable number of enemy tanks have cut into our defense line. We are sweeping the infantry comrades. Our mission is to drive them away and assist the infantry comrades to stabilize the defense line!"

The armored train had been waiting for a long time. He boarded the tank after taking three steps in a row, patted the turret excitedly, and ordered the driver to start the vehicle immediately.

The armored train was going to position No. 17. Five German tanks and a considerable number of grenadiers had broken through the Red Army's blockade and were preparing to expand the breakthrough. At this moment, the armored train arrived first.

Four BT7s lined up and charged forward at a distance of fifty meters. Soon the German infantry discovered them, and the rifles and machine guns fired together, and the bullets made the tanks and armor shoot.

"Note that there is an enemy machine gun at 11 o'clock, with a distance of 800 and grenades, prepare!"

As the armored train set off, the turret of the bt7 vibrated. After the captain's observation mirror shook, he found that the cannon was hit in a crooked manner and had to shout: "Be careful, continue to attack, and have another shot!"

With a clang, the hot shell was thrown out of the cannon chamber, and another grenade was loaded into place immediately. Another rumbling sounded and shaking violently, the armored train found that the enemy's machine gun was blown into the sky.

"Okay, the next target, three o'clock direction, distance of 700, ready for grenade!"

One after another, the BT7 was put into battle. The German guy who had just entered the position was beaten so hard that he had little power to fight back. However, this one-sided situation soon ended, and the German tanks No. 2 and No. 3 also joined the battle group.

The 50-mm tank gun of the No. 3 tank can penetrate the front armor of the BT7. After a round of rounds of fire, the BT7 and BT5 were constantly destroyed. Compared with the Red Army's tankers, the German tankers have more experience. They will not fire randomly while marching, but will stop shooting at a fixed rhythm.

In comparison, the Red Army's tankers seemed too frivolous. Many new recruits fired randomly during high-speed marching, and they didn't know where the shells were shot. Apart from being able to scare the German grenadiers, it was of little significance.

Fortunately, the German army had not many tanks and their performance was not good. After a fierce attack, they had to retreat backwards, trying to widen the distance and call for artillery fire support. However, the armored train and his comrades were not fools. They quickly increased the accelerator and followed them, and met in close combat at a distance.

Later, the armored train recalled: "The battle was going too fierce. We fought from one thousand meters to one hundred meters, which was equivalent to firing with the muzzle against the temple. Constantly, the tanks of our comrades were shot. Constantine, who was in the platoon, was hit by a 50mm shell, and the whole vehicle did not survive... In the end, we had almost no time to fire the gun and had to hit the enemy at high speed. When the front of the car suddenly hit the enemy, the huge inertia made us tilt. My head hit the observation mirror hard, and the blood was left behind. As for the loader, he was even more unlucky. He hit the cannon bolt and fainted. Fortunately, the next battle did not require **, otherwise we would definitely die..."

The armored train hit a No. 2 tank. After the crash, the engines of both sides were shut down. However, the No. 2 tank was passively hit due to its light tonnage, and the damage was even heavier. Gasoline flowed out of the cracked fuel tank, while neither the German tanker nor the armored train noticed this. They were extremely nervous and had a gunfight at a very close distance. The sparks of bullets hitting the armor almost ignited the leaking gasoline.

The armored train had a good marksmanship, killing the enemy's captain and breaking his leg as the enemy driver tried to escape. After the battle, he seized a Ruger pistol.

Unfortunately, the behavior of the armored train did not win praise for him. On the contrary, the company commander scolded him because his platoon suffered heavy losses in the battle. Two BT7s were destroyed, and his car was seriously injured and waiting for repair. There was only one tank left in the platoon that could continue fighting.

"Why do you need to attack rashly? The task I give you is to attract the attention of the enemy from the front and cover the second platoon to attack the enemy from the flank. Do you have no ears or have any problems with your understanding? Don't do it anymore, the platoon leader!"

At that time, the armored train was not convinced. He used four tanks to destroy five enemy tanks and captured one. The result of this battle should be good. Why criticize it if that is the case?

Well, the young and energetic armored train still doesn't understand what the war is. He just wants to show off and is completely unaware that individual heroism that is separated from the collective is equivalent to committing suicide... (To be continued...)
