259 The Battle of Krosten (4)

ps: Because relatives die and need condolences, tomorrow's update will be moved to 6 pm.

Bow to thank llkkjjllkkjj, the wind and rain, 541g54, hzangdd and comrade Juventus!

Did the Red Army be scared to pee? Of course the answer is no. The Red Army commanders and soldiers were not scared. It is true that the Black Panther tanks were indeed a bit unexpected, but it was impossible to scare them. All the Red Army soldiers were very calm. Even if the three T-34s that had just arrived were destroyed in the blink of an eye, they were not too nervous because behind them, four T-54s were driving over without any hurry.

Just as Kriegel trusted Black Panther, the Red Army commanders and soldiers also had inexplicably trusted the T-54. On the battlefield, they had not seen a T-54 being destroyed from the front by an enemy tank or anti-tank gun. The T-54 lost by the Red Army was either Stuka's masterpiece or was blown up by their own people after they were exhausted from ammunition and food. All the Red Army soldiers believed that as long as the T-54 arrived, the enemy's tanks would have to be stopped and there was nothing to be afraid of.

The lead was No. 888 T-54. The commander was the old Hemstrasse we were familiar with. The old man rushed to catch up. When his tank entered the town of Krosten, he saw hope in the eyes of the Red Army soldiers around him. This look of hope was very satisfied. He liked the taste of being a savior too much. This feeling would make him full of motivation, which was more effective than three bottles of vodka.

"Where is the enemy?" Old Hemstral poked out half of his body and shouted at the retreating Red Army infantry.

"Drive forward and keep moving forward, right in the open space in front of the town. There are many enemy tanks, especially those that look taller, long-barrel tanks that are very threatening, and the 76mm tank guns are useless at all!"

Old Hemstral thanked the kind infantryman and ordered the driver to speed up, because he could no longer wait to fight against the enemy's most advanced tank.

At the same time, the condition of Restoration was very bad. After the first and second rows retreated, all the pressure was on the third row and the firepower row. About fifteen tanks and more than a hundred grenadiers were attacking him.

"The third row continues to stick to it. Cover the fire platoon to retreat! Quick!"

Shi Nengji ordered the troops to retreat again. Such a powerful enemy was not something that two platoons could hold on. The only way was to retreat into the city to use street fighting to weaken the enemy's armor advantage.

"Company Commander, you retreat first, I will cover!" Sergeant Boris suggested.

However, Shi Nengji flatly refused: "I am the company commander, I must be the last one to retreat! You guys go first!"

Just when there was a dispute, a shell overturned Shi Nengji and Sergeant Boris. When Shi Nengji struggled to get up from the mound, Sergeant Boris fell into a pool of blood.

"My god, grandma!"

Shi Nengji suddenly became red-eyed. Sergeant Boris was not at a high level, but his role in the company was irreplaceable. He could care about every comrade and also helped Shi Nengji to accurately convey every order. All the soldiers in the company loved him and affectionately called him Dad!

"Sanitation officer, sanitation officer!"

Shi Neng dug out the sanitary officer from the collapsed fortification with his hands and feet. Before he could recover, he ordered: "Comrade Boris was shot, hurry up, go and save him!"

After explaining to the health officer, Shi Nengzhi carried a RPG-7 and rushed towards the German tank. Faced with artillery fire and bullets, he jumped into a favorable position and aimed at the fastest speed. He destroyed a No. 4 tank that was approaching within fifty meters in one fell swoop. Then, he threw away the bazooka, picked up two anti-tank grenades and rushed towards the next tank.

When Shi Nengzhe was fighting his life on the battlefield, Old Hemstral and his car finally crossed the town and arrived at the battlefield. Through the periscope, he quickly found the unique Black Panther tanks.

"Is this the German guy's new tank?"

It was not difficult to hear from his tone that this person was a little eager to try. Sure enough, he quickly asked the driver to move forward, preparing to be on the same level as the Black Panther.

When Old Hemstrasse discovered Black Panther, the Black Panther's tank hand actually discovered his existence. After all, the T-54 is too unique on the battlefield. The unique half-egg turret is so eye-catching. Kriegel recalled: "I finally saw the T-54, I have to say. The first impression it gave us was very deep. The unique turret makes it look so ugly. Compared with the beautiful Black Panther, is this a freak?"

It is not difficult to see from Kriegel's tone. He was a little disdainful of T-54, or the solution to T-34 was just cut and cut melons and vegetables, which made him feel good in person.

"We are full of confidence. In our opinion, no Soviet tank can block the Black Panther's thunder attack, even the T-54 cannot do it. At a distance of 1,200 meters, we launched the attack first!" Gunner Weber recalled.

"We cooperated very well. As soon as Griegel stopped the tank, I put the t-54 in the sight. I only needed a little adjustment and I fired it decisively without hesitation!"

To put it objectively, the early T-54's sighting system was indeed not as good as the Black Panther. The Soviet Union's optical technology was indeed behind Germany. German gunners dared to launch attacks at a distance of 1,500 meters, while at the same distance, the Red Army gunners could only catch them blindly.

Weber does have the talent for shooting. He hits quite accurately. The 75mm armor-piercing projectile accurately hits No. 888 T-54, making a sound. Kriegel, who has been staring at No. 888, cheers. In his opinion, the enemy's tank hit means being destroyed. Weber also shouted on the radio: "This is my result! I hit it!"

However, what made Kriegel and Weber depressed was that they guessed the beginning but could not. No. 888 was indeed shot, which was undoubtedly, but it was more useless. The 75mm armor-piercing bullet was bounced away in a flash, which could only be considered as scratching No. 888.

"Hahaha, Weber, you idiot, jump! See if you see it, jump!" The friend-narling Black Panther Tank Gunner burst into laughter and announced happily: "This turtle shell is mine! No one can steal it!"

Weber was so depressed. How could he jump? He was clearly aiming very accurately! It doesn't make sense!

However, no matter how depressed he was, he couldn't rob it. Before the loader filled the armor-piercing bomb again, the guy who had just laughed at him had already launched the attack first.

Boom!

The armor-piercing bomb that was released was like a bolt of lightning. It accurately slashed on the armor on No. 888's head. The moment it hit, there was another burst of laughter in the radio.

The Germans once again thought they had succeeded. And they thought there would be no more accidents. This is 100% certain. No. 888 was destroyed and you can immediately draw the battle results logo on the turret!

However, what Old Hemstral is best at slapping the face. When the Germans celebrated, the No. 888 T-54 continued to move forward calmly and vigorously. For the early T-54, the accuracy of the smoothbore cannon was really not very good. The hit rate at a distance of one thousand meters was too low. If you want to kill a lot, you have to continue moving forward.

The moving No. 888 finally attracted the attention of the Germans again. This time the wireless power was silent because they didn't understand and couldn't figure it out. Why can the tank, which has been sentenced to twice, be resurrected in full blood?

"It's a jump again? Or it's a misstep?"

This problem plagued the German tankers, but they quickly came to their senses and quickly shook the handwheel, swearing to solve the disobedient T-54.

Ping Ping Pong!

The Black Panther Tank Group opened fire one after another, although not every time it could hit. Not all shells were aimed at No. 888. But one thing is certain, that is, no matter how hard Black Panther tried, he could not help but arrive at the three T-54s on the battlefield. Most of the shells were bounced away. The half-egg turret that had been ridiculed by the Germans before was still very bulletproof.

The fierce artillery battle should be said to be that the unilateral artillery battle lasted for several minutes. During this period, none of the three T-54s opened fire and focused on getting closer.

"On the 12 o'clock direction, tank No. 4, armor-piercing bombs, prepare!"

"put!"

I have to say that the No. 4 tank was very unlucky. They were happily harvesting the Red Army before, and they were about to get the final done. Who would have thought that a t-54-10 out of the diagonal sect would be thrown into them in minutes and they were full of stars.

In front of the 100mm armor-breaking bullet, even the No. 4 tank that has been strengthened is still as fragile as paper. Let's put it this way, as long as it can hit, the No. 4 tank will not be able to avoid being opened. What makes the members of the No. 4 tank scared that even at a very close distance, their artillery can't do anything to the other side.

At this time, the only one who can keep the No. 4 tank on the battlefield to continue fighting is the Black Panther behind them. They believe that the powerful Black Panther can definitely solve the opponent. One thousand meters can't do it, 800 meters can be enough, right?

Unfortunately, eight hundred meters are not enough. Anyway, the members of the Black Panther are even more depressed and terrified than the members of the No. 4 tank. In their eyes, the t-54 is no longer a tank, but an absolute Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Webber recalled frustratedly: "I tried everything, but it didn't work at all for the monster. It simply ignored our attacks, as if the shells we shot were only worthy of it to tickle."

Kriegel also admitted: "The only reason for us to continue to fight is that these monsters cannot do anything to us for the time being. Most of our comrades were optimistic that the armor of the Black Panther is still very reliable, and with the rough industrial level of the Soviet Union, it is impossible to destroy us!"

However, the facts once again exceeded the German estimate. When they were about to drop the T-54 and destroy it within 500 meters, Old Hemstrasse chose to fight at a distance of 800 meters. The armor-piercing bomb was quickly stuffed into the cannon chamber, and the driver stopped moving forward in time. After the gunman aimed, the cannon was out of the barrel.

Compared with the sparks when the armor-piercing bomb hits the target, the armor-piercing bomb is much less dynamic. The slight explosion produces a stream of smoke, and after the smoke dissipates, nothing can be seen. In the eyes of an outsider, this kind of attack is like being bitten by a mosquito.

"No. 3 was hit?" the commander muttered, "It seems that it has not been penetrated?"

The reason why this person is not sure is that No. 3 did not react much on the radio, and all the Black Panther tankers in the 51st Tank Battalion knew that the captain of the No. 3 tank was shattered and usually had to do anything. Now that he has experienced the T-54 attack in person, he has already started to yell.

A few seconds seemed to be longer than a century. When the sound of thrust was heard from the radio station again, all the tank hands were stunned: "Ahem, damn Hans is dead, we were hit. Hans is dead! Shukts's leg is broken, medical officer! Medical officer!"

The screams of thunder made other Black Panther tank hands shudder. Hans was the driver and Schultz was the gunner. One death and one injury meant that the armor on the Black Panther's head was ruthlessly penetrated, and the t-54 shells could continue to penetrate deeper after breaking through the thick head armor. After killing the driver, they could cut off Schultz's legs. This power was absolutely amazing!

Many Black Panther tanks took a breath. Although the armor on the head of the Black Panther is not the thickest part of the entire tank, the ability of the opponent to penetrate the armor on the head proves that a little Black Panther's defense is not immune to the enemy's attack!

Kriegel recalled: "From that moment, my heart suddenly became cold. Hans's experience shows that I am definitely not at ease when I am sitting at the front of the car! I must be more careful!"

Not only did the German armored troops realize that the situation was not good, but even the infantry in the rear found that the situation was wrong. This did not seem to be about to push down the Red Army, but instead seemed to be reversed. In the face of crisis, the German commander could not control so much. He shouted loudly: "Where is the 88 gun? Where is the 88 gun?"

Well, at the critical moment, the Germans still thought that the 88 gun was more reliable. It was also a blessing that they had been beaten by the Red Army tanks before, and they had to act with the 88 guns, so they could only take it at critical moments.

Second Lieutenant Kittel was ordered to push the 88 guns to the front line, preferably to provide firepower support for his own tanks. Of course, it would be even more ideal to knock out the opponent's T-54.

For Lieutenant Kitel, this order was equivalent to ordering him to die. Under the circumstances, there was no time for him to choose a shooting position, and there was no so-called best shooting position on the muddy battlefield. The open area was completely unobstructed. There was no grass on the main battlefield. In desperation, Lieutenant Kitel could only lead his artillery company to set the position near the destroyed tanks, hoping to obtain a little concealment effect.

While Lieutenant Kitel and his subordinates were struggling in the mud with heavy 88 guns, the decisive battle of tanks on the battlefield had entered a white-hot stage. Commander Black Panther soon realized that there was no hope of victory in fighting monsters such as T-54 head-on.

The commander quickly ordered the remaining 9 black panthers to be divided into three teams. The three black panthers in the center are responsible for attracting the firepower of the T-54, and the two pairs of the two wings are circumventing. I am afraid that the commander thinks that even if he can't penetrate the front of the T-54, he can always penetrate the side? If the side is not good, then he will resolutely burst into anus!

The idea is good, and it is right to fight less, but it is extremely painful to implement. For example, the three Black Panthers responsible for attracting firepower are probably running in their hearts at this moment: "Fuck, why is it our turn to do this unlucky task!"

Old Hemstella is not an idiot, and his eyes are not blind. He soon understood the German army's intentions, but he really sneered at the German army's tactics. Damn, with your painful mobility, you still want to circumvent and detour? My legs are not lame!

Objectively speaking, the maneuverability of the t-54 cannot be said to be good. The simple fixed shaft steering mechanism limits the off-road performance of the t-54. Compared with the advanced main battle tanks with dual-stream transmission in later generations, the t-54 cannot be beaten or escaped.

But there are two ends. The steering ability of the fixed shaft steering mechanism is indeed not very good, but this thing is simple and solid, just tolerant. Moreover, the weight of the t-54 is much lighter than that of the Black Panther and has a larger unit power. If you consider the stacked load-bearing wheel that is prone to failure, the Black Panther has a significant disadvantage.

When nine German black panthers began to maneuver, they quickly made a fool of themselves. One of them was stuck in the mud and could not move, while the other engine soon overheated and began to burn. As soon as the German mobile tactics were implemented, two black panthers withdrew from the battle. Fortunately, the No. 4 tank was quickly pushed up. Although the No. 4 tank was like a can in front of the T-54, it was still possible to attract firepower.

I have to say that the German army was very sad, and in the end they could only fight by fighting against the head. However, the Germans wanted to fight against the head, but Old Hemstral and the others were not willing! Soon the three T-54s began to hang in reverse gear and slowly retreated to try to distance themselves from the German army.

Moreover, while reversing, the gunners of the three tanks were not idle, and they kept killing German tanks on the battlefield. So a spectacular scene appeared on the battlefield. The three T-54s fought and retreated under the siege of more than a dozen German tanks, and while retreating, they were igniting guns for German tanks. Every one or two minutes, a German tank would be destroyed, and the sound of death was blown up one after another.

Well, Old Hemstrasse was really too excited to kill. In this moment, he killed two No. 4 tanks. In addition to the Black Panther he had dealt with before, he had already achieved three results this afternoon. And the old man was very sure that if he continued to fight like this, his results would increase. The Lenin Medal and the title of Soviet hero are getting closer and closer to him!

The old man was so excited that he didn't notice at all that his tank had gone awry, and his No. 888 slowly drove into the minefield in reverse gear!

Boom!

Old Hemstral suddenly shook with the tank, and then No. 888 was shot. He frowned, and a bad premonition surged into his heart.

"Haha, the enemy is touching thunder!"

Kriegel cheered. Just now, when he and his friends were slaughtered by one side, his eyes were ripped off, but who made Black Panther's mobility not strong enough to catch up with the enemy?

This time, God is helping them. As long as they can rush up, they will definitely leave this t-54, which will definitely break the myth of the invincible t-54!

The Germans were excited, while Old Hemstella was sweating coldly, and she couldn't run away, but can she kill so many enemies? (To be continued)
