Varosha, who poked his head out, soon discovered that it was a German Tiger tank that was very close to him and had arrived in front of the position at some point.
This monster, which the brigade commander complained about as a "square garbage box", is a genuine heavy tank that is quite difficult to deal with.
Although this kind of thing is like paper and vulnerable in front of our own heavy tanks, the key to the problem is that Major Varosha never remembers that our own infantry anti-tank equipment can be used from within a conventional firefighting range.
Kill this Fascist monster with strong armor and cannon head-on.
No matter what the caliber of an anti-tank gun or anti-tank cannon is, it will either make a "ding" sound or sparks will appear, and it will have no effect.
Malashenko has emphasized to Varosha more than once that when the infantry is facing a German tiger, unless the opponent is alone and does not have any friendly support and protection, do not actively try to provoke this steel monster. Not only will it injure
If you don't talk to this steel tiger, it will be counterproductive and attract the other party's attention, which will lead to retaliatory counterattacks. This is really not worth the gain.
Another point is that the many armored offensive and defensive battles in the past few days have made Major Varosha understand a little bit.
That is, whenever these German heavy steel monsters roar and appear on the battlefield, this can at least mean one thing. The final rush of heavy tanks to the battlefield is not only a sign of the opponent's full strength, but also represents the last wave.
At the same time, the most difficult wave of ferocious attacks to resist is coming.
That is to say, during the short period of time that Major Varosha was observing, the Tiger tank that had stopped stationary outside the position turned its turret again, driving the black hole of the 88mm main gun to aim again.
Target.
He could clearly feel that the Tiger tank was looking at each other. Major Varosha, who was still observing the enemy, instantly felt a chill go down his spine. Without saying a word, Major Varosha dodged and fell to the ground with a subconscious muscle reaction.
At the same time, he also pushed Oleg beside him to the ground.
"Lie down!"
boom--
Crackling——
In less than half a minute, he was bombarded by two Tiger tank 88-gun high-explosive shells. However, with the cover of the trenches and his quick reactions, Major Varosha once again escaped from a desperate situation and escaped death.
.
With the constant ringing in his ears, Major Varosha stood up from the trench with a helmet on his head. It felt like his whole body was about to be buried alive by the soil. The first thing he did when he stood up with his hands on the ground was like
He twisted his body like a dog that had just taken a bath, and all kinds of dirt and garbage suddenly fell like raindrops.
"The German heavy tanks are coming! We have to retreat quickly. We can't defeat such a monster without tank support!"
Oleg, who was also shocked to the core, reluctantly nodded in confusion, indicating that he heard Varosha's words and understood the meaning, and then went to carry out the order that he had just failed to complete.
Communicated properly.
Once again the unexpected is.
Before Oleg, who had just stood up, could take a step forward, a roaring roar followed by an ear-piercing howl that broke through the air came at extremely high speed. The terrifying sharp sound of tearing the air was almost felt by Major Varosha for a moment.
shuddering.
"Again?!"
Only this time, Major Varosha, who screamed in agony in his heart, guessed wrong. The shell was not fired from the direction of the Tiger tank, but brought destructive force from a direction closer to the center of the village.
Attack from the air.
The 122 Heirloom, which can turn a tiger into an orange cat with just one shot within 500 meters, is as powerful as thunder. The 122mm full-caliber armor-piercing bullet that tears apart the air is like a sledgehammer smashing down a door. One shot hits the target directly.
It hit the tiger tank's wide and extremely irregular turret face firmly.
Ding-ding——
boom--
There was no suspense about the loud explosion of the ammunition, which instantly rose from the ground with scattered fire and flames. It was as if no one would doubt that the composite armor on Sister 45's chest could withstand any kind of kinetic energy armor-piercing bullets and bullets in the world.
It's the same as chemical armor-piercing projectiles.
For the 122 Heirloom, tearing open the turret frontal armor of a Tiger tank is like cutting a cream cake with a hot razor, without any suspense and ease.
The 17-ton Tiger tank turret flew directly on the spot, and was instantly lifted into the air by the scattered flames and blast shock waves, transforming into a Lufthansa murderous aircraft with incomparable splendor.
For a moment, Major Varosha felt that he was stunned. He clearly saw the huge tiger head rising into the sky from where it stood, flying straight into the sky and flying at least seven or eight meters high!
One thing is that this is the first time he has seen a tiger head that can fly so high.
But if you think about it from another angle, who knows how seriously the excessive ammunition carried in this Tiger that just arrived on the battlefield caused such a tragic situation today.
Those SS armored soldiers thought they could continue to fire out all the artillery shells on the vehicle?
Unfortunately, the father's 122 justice does not side with the fascist invaders.
Completely unaware of what happened in that scene just now, with a little excitement in his heart, more confusion, and a considerable amount of doubts, Major Varosha turned back and looked in the direction where the whistling shells had just come from.
At that moment, he saw a scene that made him burst into tears and extremely excited.
Although the follow-up troops of the SS are constantly moving towards the village to support the battle, we must not forget that there is also a steady stream of follow-up main troops on the side of Malashenko, the leader of the marching force.
Enter the village and join the battle.
The Germans made a very childish and quite fatal mistake.
The SS field commander who directed this battle mistakenly overestimated the assault capability of his own troops, and even more seriously underestimated his opponent's determination and perseverance to fight to the end.
The original planned tactical goal of quickly defeating the main force of the Soviet army from the front was not realized. The attacking troops rushing towards the position were unable to deal with the enemy in front of them. The battle was quickly decided, and the long-drawn battle had turned into a confrontation.
A brutal tug-of-war for defensive positions.
Just like the tense and exciting state of mind of a gambler when the card game on the gambling table reaches the last moment.
The SS field commander, who was paying close attention to the situation on the battlefield, with sweat dripping down his neck, mistakenly regarded all the main troops that had just marched as bargaining chips, and threw them all into this battle.
Seeing that there is only the last bit left to complete the victory offensive.
